A. C. WAS STRONGER Sigrlst, Wells, Lewis and Turner Will Shine for the Northerners. The SeatU. AthUUo club h a splendid rhunc. to defeat Multnomah axt Saturday afternoon at Recreation Park," says the Seattle Tlmaa, "and now that the club member realise that a team has been whipped Into shape that will give wood account of lteell. they are rallying U He support, and there will be a big crowd out to see the came. "Multnomah had an awful bard time defeating the Willamette university team of Salem last Saturday to 0 The members of the Multnomah team have been pounded on (be back for the poor showing they made, and bare been told that they will have to brace up thla week or Seattle will down them. "The opinion of the Astoria men Is valuable in getting; a line on the game of next Saturday, for they have played against both the Multnomah and Seattle club men. The Astoria players said last Saturday that Seattle had a much stronger line than Multnomah, and tbat the backs of the local team were much harder plungers than the Portland men. Abercromble said that Multnomah made all Its scores against them by end runs, fake plays on tackle and delayed passes. Astoria had In a couple of green ends that day, so that end runs were possi ble. "Astoria players spoke highly of the work of Bracken, Turner and Wells, and they said Wells was undoubtedly the strongest and cleverest line man playing on the coast today, while Tur ner Is a hard man to handle and Is Just a liable as not to break through and taokl. . th -runner behind the Una Just aa he did on three occasions last Satur day. "Charley Slgrift wilt play tackle next Saturday. He did not gat Into the gam until near the close last Saturday, tak ing Turner's place when the letter's bad leg went back on him. Slgrtst would rather play football than cat, and when ha Is in shape for a hard game he can outplay any man In his position on the coast. He has the knack of following the ball, which la Invaluable to a foot ball player, and he can inject a lot of fighting spirit Into the team both by his actions and his. coaching. "Those who watched Lewis run with ths ball last Saturday were convinced that the high school boy ' should be played at halfback Coach Shorts said that Lewis has the Ideal build for a half back for he Is stocky and hard to bowl over. He is built along much the same lines as Huston, the greatest halfback la the country. Lewis has played be hind the line soma on the high school team, and la slated for one of the half back positions next year. "With Bracken at center. Wells and Turner at guards, SlgrlSt and Mont gomery at tackles; Van Hovenberg and Dowd at ends; Christy and Cole for quarter; Huntoon and Lewis as half backs and Newmyer at full, the club will have a lineup that will make Mult nomah go soma to defeat. "The attendance at previous games has been dlaappointlng. Club spirit Is now being stirred up, and a creditable showing will be made Saturday. Many of the old-time members rather shied st ths proposition of putting a , football team in the Seld thla year, but now that the team has demonstrated that It has class and la showing marked Improve ment every day, the old-timers are warming up and will be out to yeU for the club Saturday like they did in the days of long ago. The game Saturday Is the big thing tor the club, and the team will be right on edge. A acare was thrown into' Multnomah last Satur day, and the men are working hard this week to make a good showing in Se attle. FOOTBALL FUMBLES. As the Columbia Juniors have not yet received a challenge from the Chemawa management, the reported game for next Saturday has not yet been arranged. I'nleaa Columbia receives a challenge before Friday no game will be played witn ue Indians. The Columbia Juniors have an offer of a game with the Barclay high school of Oregon City. South Portland also wants a game with the Columbia Juniors on the Multnomah field Saturday after noon. Manager Watklns haa found It a diffi cult matter to get a complete team for the Seattle trip on Saturday. Loner Kan. Corbett and Delph find It Impossi ble to go. Lonergan has classes to In struct at Columbia university Saturday morning, and Corbett Is hsld by busi ness affairs. Dolph is suffering from a very sore toe and upon the advice of his physician he must remain out of the game for 10 days at least. The absence of this backfleld trio will necessitate the playing of substi tutes and second team players. Multnomah's regular lino with the exception of Klraiey will be In the play at Seattle, and If the Puget sounders can find any holee from Jordan to Dowling they will be entlUed to them BVOBT FOOTBALL.

The history of the Sab bath in Our own country, beginning with the landing of the Pilgrims oil Monday, December 20, 1620, 'who could have landed on Saturday, the 18th. and would not because it Implied labor on the Sabbath, down to the closing of the gates of the Louisiana Purchase expo sition on the Lord's day, Is full of in teresting facta. Babbath in station's Fsbrlo. "It la Inconceivable that our republic could have grown to Its present propor tions and commanding position among the nations of the earth, without the Babbath!. The day haa entered into ev ery part of our national fabric, given Integrity to the morals of our people, Imparted matchless beauty to our insti tutions of science and art, assured sta bility to our commerce, has been tha sheet-anchor of our civil liberty and a wall of Are about the church of Christ, aurrounded our homes with a hedge of evergreen, sweetened the Ues of ths domestic circle, wreathed the brow of legislation with tha laurels of Sinai and the empty tomb of the world's Savior, and has laid Its firm but kindly hand of restraint on commercial amDi tton and blessed and dignified labor. In short, every element of human Interest baa been made Its beneficiary. There fore, be It . . Resolved. That we thankfully ac knowledge Jeaus, 'The Bon of Man,' as the 'Lord of the Sabbath day," and reo ognixe His beneflcenoe In placing It aa a bow of promise in man's hope of heaven. "That we regard the civic Sabbath as the strongest pillar in the temple of lib erty and a bulwark of protection for labor against the oppression of greed and avarice; a quiet, worshipful Sabbath aa Indispensable to that pewer which alone the church can ever hops to draw the world to Christ; a domestic Sabbath as ths bulwark of the home and the angel of peace about its hearthstone. Against Violation of Holy Day. "That we regard as destruclve of these blessings all violations of the Sabbath, vis, all Sunday excursions, either by land or water, open theatres, open ahops and saloons. Held games and all forms of public amusements, public repairs and all avoidable labor. And In so far as these or any of them are violations of stats or municipal law, we must earn estly call the attention thereto of the executive officials of both state and city, and heartily commending our county sheriff, Thomas Word, and other of ficials acting with him, for their Arm and efficient stand against municipal vice and corruption, we suggest that now they extend their vigilance to these and other acts of Sabbath violation, which are the very tap-root of of the upas tree of social and political corruption. "We are in most hearty sympathy with. ths great enterprise and objecta of the Lewis and Clark exposition. Intended aa it la to aid In the development of the untold material wealth treasured In the agricultural, horticultural, mineral and piscatorial resources of the northwest, and wa desire to give as our tsstlmony that we believe the complete closing of of the gates of the fair on the Lord's day would make for the moral and spiritual welfare of the people of the northwest, aa well aa Induce ths at tendance at tbe fair of the best class of visitors from the eaat and aouth, whose subsequent settlement in our mldat would greatly enhance our material prosperity. "That we would respectfully request ths business men of Portland and vicinity, who are employers of labor. If consistent with their business in terests, to grant a Saturday half holi day to their emploves during the con tinuance of the Lewis and Clark ex. position. "That with profound gratitude to Ood, we most heartily commend President Roosevelt for ths manifestation of his reverence for the sabbath when, upon his recent visit to the Louisiana Pur chase exposition, and remaining over sabbath In St. Louis, he requested that tn accordance with his custom of rest and worship on the sabbath, no program be arranged for that day."

Without a parallel In all history, tbe vaudeville program at the Star theatre thla week stands head and shoulders above tbe common run. Nothing ap proaching it for excellence, genuine en tertainment or brilliancy has ever been witnessed In Portlsnd To see the Molassos. two performers from Turin, Italy, dunce their whirlwind waltsea Is a revelation. To hear Blmm Bonn Brrr Imitate "the little German band" on three cor nets will astonish the conservative. To see these three performers play melo dies on a great pyramid of Illuminated wheels 4s startling. Fun of the mirth compelling, laugh producing, screamingly farcical kind la presented by a quartet of comedians en titled "The Fielding Comedy Four." Sensational tumbling feats, marvelous acrobatic work and awe-inspiring reaps for life are offered by tile four Cloas brothers, a quartet of the most aston ishing acrobats in the world.

Mr. Fields had issued orders prohibiting the in terchange of gossip and stories among the employes. To emphasize this, he rearranged the desks. The order and change were made for the betterment of the service. Too much small talk and exchange of news bv the clerks resulted in un satisfactory work, especially when comparing records where accuracy is demanded. The order fell like s bolt but the noon hour offered opportunity for the exchange of confidences snd ex change of gossip, so that in time it is expected the old order of things will be forgotten and the new order ob served religiously. Anyhow, whether the old is forgotten or not tne new must be observed.
