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.

Miles Denies He is
a Free-Trader
(Continued from page 1)
Miles recommended the maximum
duty of IS per cent and the duty was
nothing on steel products. 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.

SHIVELY'S DEFEAT HE
E SCHOOL
YOUNGSTERS PUT UP FAST
AND SNAPPY GAME ON
ATHLETIC GROUNDS.
Shively school IS, McClurc school 0.
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.
HE ATE THE EVIDENCE.
CHICAGO. Dec. 5-Chief Shippy's
gambling squad released au alleged
handbook maker yesterday became
he ate the evidence against him. The
alleged gambler was working over t
few scraps of thin paper in William
Godman's saloon at 91 West Madi
son street, when Detectives Schwick
ert and Schubert ran into the saloon
and arrested him. The man gathered
the papers, on which he is said to
have been entering his bets, rolled
them in a ball and swallowed the
ball. Baffled, the detectives released
the man and went back to the po
lice station and reported "No case;
evidence eaten."
