It la quite a drop from such figures to the 11 fatalities of football. with, following in order, baseball t, marine 4, and 8 each for boxing, wrest--ling and horse racing. Is It not simple Justice that the ad . mlttedly real dangers of football should be looked at not aa If the game were - the only sport of present-day red-blood- - ed yeung men. but rather as one of ' several? 'Football ranks far too high in the .scale of danger. That Is obvious, and '-the rules committee la already busied to meet so proper an objection.

The element of danger In sport exists wherever there Is fssclnatlon or popu larity. It exists more markedly for the callow boy than for the man of experi ence, properly trained to meet the con ditions in question. And It would seem only fair that the critical public should bear something of this tort In mind. In commenting upon one sport or the othershould have some eye for the whole field, and so, speak with a view to all the facts. AN OLD SHOT FOUND .ON OREGON CAMPUS """"(Special Dltpatea te The Journal.) University of Oregon, Eugene, Dec. 17.

That President Mur phy has secured htm la positively an nounced, but otherwise the deal la a mere rumor. It is not even known what player or players Plttaaurg will get by the trade. Wagner, the .report says, re fused to play under Fred Clarke, theugh the two have been friends for yesrs, snd t was - thrrmxh - Clarke that Wagner joined the Pittsburg team.

IT.- The Rnsby team.of Stanford- ntwttT-iwtin thla week for a tour of British Columbia, where a series of games will be played against the teams of the Canadian prov ince. THE REAL PLAYERS 111- BASEBALL Shortstop and Third Baseman Are Considered the' Hardest . ' Workers on a Team. ' SUCCESSFULrPtAYS"t DEPEND ON THEM While. Other Positions Are Very Im portant Those Mentioned Are the Keys to the Game Third Sacker la the King. ; .... '.' In baseball there are two positions which are more difficult to fill than the others, and those ar ' shortstop Pkrid third base. ; ' The catcher, . wlttthta massive mitt, baa something of a snapshot, of course, is compelled to be on the job every salawte. Outelde of' the stialu Ull llltr salary wing, a pitcher has it easy whsn In form snd able to put the sphere Into' tbe groove throughout a contest The first-baseman Is not often called -upon to hump himself in. order to hold up his end. his main dutiea being to Intercept throws coming his way, play in for bunts' at certain times, and to prevent right-field hits from whining past his territory. A harder task devolves upon the second-baseman, who . is - frequently sailed upon to head off twisting bound era, daisy-cutters snd line drives, in the successful handling of which ac tivity and good Judgment are essential. But the aecond-baaeman is not in ths hard-working class whsn compared with the shortstop -and the red-light guardian. . The man at the second sta tion has no strain upon his throwing arm. , He Is able, nine times out of ten. to Jerk the sphere Into the first basemen's mitt unices compelled by a hit over the bag, or one that no baa had ' to go out for, to make a quick throw In order to head off the base runner. Sometimes the - second-baae-man la called upon to relay home a throw from the extreme outfield In an attempt to cut the runner off at the plate, who, after a losg hit, is hell-bent for home. On these occasions a long, speedy throw Is necessary, but ths most of his throws ar of the short, snappy order around the infield. The TSeal taborevs. v . The shortstop and third-baseman are the real laborers on a ball team. In thaae modern days of .the game a shortstop's duties are of threefold nature.- He la caUed upon to cover his own position, that of a portion of the outfield In the chasing of and captur ing the puxxllng "Texaa leaguers' which float through the osone in a tanta lising manner and are apt to drop upon an uncovered apot between the In and outfield, unlets quickly gauged and- got ten under, and to cover second. forj throw from the catcher wtoen a bast runner is on first and a right-field hit ter at bat. The shortstop is oaUed upon to make long throws in Jig time. Many of the ballplayers of today are fast sprinters, and a second lost Is a bass gained. An up-to-date shortstop knows the speed of every player in the league. and times his throws accordingly, out a slow ball and a fast .runner often form a combination hard to beat. Short stops are handed mhny lemons by" Irate fansvwnw become not -unaer ins coi lar whsn they cannot niake impossible plays or err In throwing wildly through undue haste, put it me lanauca win stop to thing of the chances a- short- stop Is compelled to take, and the brief . time at his disposal In which to complete a play, they will be more considerate in their judgment ana less hasty In condemnation. ' The man who guards third base, or the red-light bag. as It Is aptly termed on account of ita-danrers, is ths one who fills the most difficult position on a basebsll teeny He. -must be quicker than a streak and always ready to serine to the rlcht or left, grab the flying sphere out or a cloud or dust and fire It to first or second for a double play, without passing to take aim. The hot shots sent In his direc tion are signing when they reach him, and most difficult to handle. Xa. Joe afnlveys Day. . When Joe Mulvey played third baae for Philadelphia. - he used to tremble with fear whenever. Deacon White came to bat. TheIeaton waa a hard hitter, and many of his lightning drives treveled Into Mulvey'e territory, whose shins bore numerous marks of the fly ing pelletfrom White's wagon-tongue. Whenever tbe Deacon would hit to some other part of the field. Mulvey would straighten np, heave a sigh of relief and smile broadly. A third-baseman must be up on his toes all the time, always on the alert to get In front of hot drives, run la for bunts or , chase to the bleachers for a flying ' foul. - He must do his thinking beforehand, for when the sphere Is hit his ttms in which to han dle it is more limited than that of the shortstop. He must act Instantaneous ly, with precision snd Judgment. A mo ment of Indecision Is often fatal, and, when s many games are lost by a one-run ' margin, means much of his team's chances.- A star third-baseman like Bill Bradley, Jimmy Collins. Lee Tannehill or Bill Coughlln is worth his weight la gold to his club. - The shortstop enacts a difficult role, but the palm for filling the hardest po sition on a. baeeball team must bs awarded to tne third-baseman. GARDNER AND LEWIS MATCHED f OR A FIGHT - (Journal Special gti '' : Denvsr, Col., Deo. IT.

SIGNALS ARE MISSED' WITH REGULARITY Second M. A. A. C Eleven Managed to Score a Touchdown Against the Varsity Captain Jordan Has Or dered Every Man Out for Work. The workout of the Multnomah foot ball varalty-yeeterday was not at all satisfactory to Captain Jordan. In or der that a hard practice be held. It was decided to play two short, halves with seoond team, and after it waa over the score stood 4 to 6 In favor of the var- sllj. The ahsenee ef iiiii t ilis fliat team s men broke the line up consider ably and gave the second Multnomahs a ohanca to score a touohdown. The general Impression around the club was that If the varsity does not improve 100 per. cent in Its work, Seattle wlU have a walkover on Christmas. Though It is ths rule for teams to Improve In signals as the season progresses, no one who witness yesterday's workout was Impressed with very apparent Improve ments In the varalty'a work. In fact, the signal practice was about ths. worst done by the team this year. Thoee who have followed the club eleven for yeara were greatly disappointed yester da'y and, it Is safe to say, that had any Seattle money been offered not one cent would have beenoovered by the local club men. Tbe question new is, "Can Multnomah round Into shape sufficient ly in a week to make a fair showing agalnat Seattle T" The quarterback posi tion is giving the varalty no end of trouble and 'worry. Blanohard has been unable to play Since Thanksgiving and out of four men who have been tried no one has yet been aooepted.. Kerri gan, Litt, Alexander and Rupert have been working at quarter and while they all show up well, nothing definite has been decided upon. In the practices that wlU be held tonight, tomorrow and Wedneaday nights, it Is quite certain that the player will be ssleoted who will pass the ball In the Christmas maton. The backfleld, oomposed of 'Lonergaav Dolph, James, Qregg and Ra dar x ought to be In good shape for1, the fray,- but they will seed more work if they hope to develop the team play that Is se essential to an eleven. The line men have not been ohoaen yet, but will be selected this week. In speaking about the team's ehanoea. Captain Jordan says: "I am not at all pleased with the outlook ef ' our team. Sometimes it looks good . to ' me, - but a sain Its goodnees fades- from view. The principal trouble seems to be In. getting- the signals perfected. I hope that this week's Ire will do the team a lot of good." CHEMAWA SECONDS ARE . FAST BASKETBALLERS .' '- " - - " (SperlaT Dlaeatoh te The lesmaLt Chemawa, Or., Deo.
