L-TS fS lk BQB and Quality TO 557 Commercial Street PHYSICAL DIRECTOR IS WITH HIS ADVENT ATHLETIC CLUB WILL BE ALL IN READINESS Unless something unforeseen iri ses to cause delay the activities of the athletic ctub it ought to be in full swing in a very short time. The gen tlemen in charge of the organization are doing all in their power to launch the enterprise creditably and as soon as possible, and Mr. G. C. Fulton, who is president of the club, stated yesterday afternoon that with the advent of a physical director all will be in readiness. One of the appli cants for the position, whose creden tials are excellent, will come to As toria within a few days and if he "sixes up" well it is said to be quite probable that he will be employed. At this session of the year it is naturally somewhat difficult to se cure the services of a physical direc tor, as most of them are now en gaged for the season, just as teach ers are. The organization will expect much from the director, for upon his shoulders will fall much of the re sponsibility of making the club a success; and it is desired not only to make it a success as an athletic or ganization but as a place whose in fluences will all be for good. The interior furnishings of the building are now bring installed, in cluding carpets, billiard tables and the like, and the place is going to wear a comfortable and quite hand some appearance. The swimming tank has been filled with water for the purpose of testing it, and it was found to be in good shape. It is said to be a matter of felici tation that the direction of the or ganization has fallen into good and very capable hands, for to finance and carry on successfully a. big or ganization of this nature is, of course no Irgfat task. BASKET BALL SECOND INTER-CLASS GAME WAS PLAYED FRIDAY IN THE FLAVEL GYM. A second inter-class game of bas ketball was played by the athletic girls of the Astoria High School, Friday, in the Flavel gymnasium. As before, the seniors and Freshmen were against the Juniors and sopho mores, and the latter again won by a score of 22 to 5. Principal Imel of the High School, the coach, ref ereed the game, and a large crowd of students and f riends witnessed the contest The teams were excel lently matched, with the most exper ienced players upon the senior-freshman side. The ball, after being put into play at center was almost al ways sent towards the senior goal, but by the skilful guarding of Len- nah Parker and Myrtle Harrison the forwards, after the first goal thrown by Hazel Louden, failed 'to score in the first half. On the itinior-sopho- more goal line, the senior guard, Addie Abercrombie, was the star player. The first half closed in the J junior and sophomore favor nine to , two. In the second half the sides ! changed jgoals, and the senior for ward succeeding in making another score. A free goal thrown by Ber nice McGregor gave the senior freshman team another point. The losing team do not go down to de feat for good, for they are preparing to challenge the victorious Juniors and sophomores to another game. In basketball two halves are played timed usually 20 minutes for each. The line-up of the teams was as fol lows: Sen. & Fresh. Jun & Sopho. V. Petersen. ..center G. Kennedy L.

The re duction of the schedule might result in a material reduction on the cost of agricultural . implements and wagons to the farmer and he advo cated putting nails and some other machinery on the free list. Miles disclaimed being a free trader, de 'daring he is against a free list. In response to a question by Champ Clark he said he wants trading proposition whereby we can sell Roods in foreign countries. Miles denied he had any difficulty with labor unions, in response to a question by Clark as to what was the cause of the trouble between Miles, Van Cleave and others with. labor unions. Col. Martin L. Mulhall of St. Louis became involved in .a heated argument with Clark in which Mulhall alleged certain labor leaders were trying to boycott Van Cleave becnusi; he is a Republican and a protectionist. Clark said he didn't want a political speech; he wanted to know what the row is between Van Cleave and the labor unions. "Brass workers wanted 10 per cent more wages than was being paid in St. Louis," replied Mulhall who continued heatedly to defend Van Cleave until Chairman McLaine intcrferrcd. RAILWAY MAN DIES.

A very fast and snappy game of football was played t the A. F. C grounds yesterday afternoon by the Shively and McClure school eleven in which the former won with the above score. The McClure team managed to acore twice after they had ply.d 33 minutes over the last half. Several brilliant plays were made, among them being a run of about 40 yard by Belland, Shively' right end; an other by Carlson, Shively's right half, and Johanson, Shively's quar ter; all of which were the means of making touchdowns. Linvillc, Shively's fullback, was sent through repeatedly for big gains. Ferguson, Shively' left half, was in the game all the time, a were all the rest of the team, not withstanding the fact that their op ponents were very much heavier. For McClure's, Nelson. Alt quar ter, made much yardage for them, and Svensen, their heavy fullback, was sent through their opponent's li;ht line for big gains; the work of Sanders being without flaw. The Shively schwd boys are confi dent that they could have done much better had they had more practice. The above interesting account of the game between the two schools was written by Harry Upshur, one of the crack player for the Shively's. Perhaps it should be explained more clearly that McClure's did actually get two touchdowns, thereby scoring 10, but it was represented that the game was over before these were made; that is, that the time limit had expired before they were made. It seems that everybody, including the timekeeper, got so interested in the game that they forgot to keep time, and it is said the second half lasted for 58 minutes, instead of 2S.
