Better Than Sound Cities. ; Fred A. Bennett, northwestern dis tributor for the Reoi' Premier and Kis sellcar, and. agent for the Ford In Ore gon and eastern Washington, has just returned from a trio to his branch houses, located at Seattle and Spokane, and r reports having-' delivered 2 ma chines since Christmas week. Bennett Is enthusiastic over the out look for business ' In medium-priced cars .the coming year, as his business this year has been twice a much as during' the same period last year.. He states that one of the most noticeable features of the difference it tbe condi tions between Portland and Seattle is the large amount of delivery and com mercial cars which are being used In Seattle, -while practically none is . being used In Portland. " ... There are at least 19 or 12 large used Smallest ? Automobile Ever Built for Service trucks and sightseeing cars being us In Seattle and from 20 to 25 light di ul livery wagons. This seems peculiar In s much an the entire city of Seattle is lit In the hills and one cannot drive any distance without going up and down hill, while Portland Is comparatively level. One advantage neia oy Meatus, however. Is the larae amount of paved districts which enables one to drive for quite a number of miles without getting off the asphalt pavement. The finan cial situation aDDears to be better in r Portland than in aimer eeauie or epo kana. Beifhett has also made quite a num ber of sales In Victoria, U. c, already this rear and looks for a very nice business from British Columbia this tuon.

President Whitefnore of the Trl-City league has appointed the veteran um pire, Ed Kankln, more popularly known to the fana as "Trilby," as one of the Official ataff for 1908. Rankin's work last season with the Trl-Clty league was good, notwithstanding one or two little "ructions" that happened during the season. As a general thing the players have a wliolt-Hoine respect for the big "umps." tind at the mime time have very little cauite to complain of his decisions. Prince KIcholat, heralded as the "Lit tlest" man In' the world, has become an auto enthusiast The Auto Vehicle com pany of Los Angeles has recently con structed for the midget an auto to' cor respond In siae with the owner. The dimensions of this little car are as fol lows, wheel base 48 Inches, tread IS Inches, tires 28x1 tt Inches. The engine la double cylinder opposed, air cooled. and Is connected to planetary transmis sion. Except for the air cooling the car is an exact duplicate of the new Tourist Model O Roadster, handled by the Ore- fon Motor company, of which R. E. leath Is manager.

The little owner is rapid lv learning to run his car with perfect confidence, and at tracts great attention when he is on the streets In his vehicle, although he is careful to keep away from the more crowded paVtg until he becomes a more proficient chauffeur.

(Special Dispatch to The Journal.) McMlnnville College, Or., Feb. 22. The basketball game here last night between McMlnnville college and the Monmouth Athletic club resulted In a score of 23 to 21 in favor of the ath letic club. Out of the 21 points made Ty the "Mac" College boys. Captain McKee made thirteen points by throwing baskets on fouls. Stein of Monmouth was referee and Tlngley of McMlnn yille umpire. Six hundred wildly enthusiastic spec tators saw association football firmly established In Portland, when at the league baseball grounds yesterday af ternoon the Scotch took the English Into camp to the tune of 6 goals to I. The crowd was Intensely partisan and cheering rarely stopped. Even the largo American contingent, which had gath ered to get a line on soccer, caught the spirit before many minutes had passed. The game was a moderately pretty one to watch; particularly in the second half, by which time the fast Scotch for ward line - had become accustomed to each other's peculiarities of play, and Its rushes became unusually exciting. Many times the ball found the goal mouth, only to be caught and kicked or thrown out by McNlcholas. who made a number of first-class stops. The bom bardment was Quite steady , in both halves, however, and four times Harry Matthew, once Andrew Matthew and once Stevenson plugged the ball past nim via some remote corner. The name opened with the English ex ceedingly dangerous. Mills, with a clear chance in front of goal, was un fortunate enough to place Just over the bar. The goal kick relieved the appar ent predicament of the Scotch, and be fore another dangerous rally could be made Referee Young awarded the Scotch a penalty kick for a personal foul within the English penalty 1 1 n . Harry Matthew placed It beautifully Just. out of McNlcholas' reach and the Scotch got their first opportunity for real applause, mere was no more scor ing in the first 45 mlnntej. until a few seconds before time waa called, when Goalkeeper Pattullo kicked a stopped ball into Dean, one of the English for wards, wno netted the sphere by the rebound. English lucky la Second. .The English opened luckily In the second. The ball was scarcely kicked off before a shot struck the post, and bouncing Just out of Tattullo's reach was poked In by Hanson, who shot across tbe goal mouth. This meant two goals against the Scotc.i in quick suc cession and left the score 2 to 1. It was a fortunate circumstance, es things ended, for it put the men of kills on their mettle and they set out to get even. It was then the Scotian forward combination really began to work, and Rylance and Jago, the English backs, i were pressed until they could relieve no longer. The Scotch slammed through their rive next goals at Intervals of a few minutes each. Pattullo's two unlucky experiences in goal were redeemed by a number of careful stops, most of which he placed well to his own men. Dr. Short was so strong at fullback that scarcely a man passed him all game. Dickson, at cen ter half, gave his best exhibition In two years. The spectators were very much pleased with the head work of the Scotch forwards, particularly of Steven son and Andrew Matthew, and Burns made old-timers sit up by several diffi cult centers from hard positions on the right wing. Mills and Kllpack were depended on to do the bulk of the English goal- f retting, but both were checked so cloa y that they were able to accomplish little. Dean was considerably improved over recent weeks. The English halves played good defense, but for some rea son fed unsuccessfully. The Scotch played faster and mo aggressively and won on that account. They were stirred to greater action bv the intermittent bagpipe skirl. "Jock" Robertson, who soon Is to leave Port land to become a member of the famous Kiltie band, handled the Scotch national Instrument. Alex Young, one of the Columblis and himself a crack left wing man, was rereree. The second game of the International series, which closes the 1907-8 associa tion football season here.- will be play?d March 7, at the baseball grounds. tomobtle and 'streetcar. The start was made at 2:30 o'clock and the devious course laid by Mrs. Buffum and Miss Anne Shogren over a distance of six miles, with some eight hurdles and 15 blinds, was negotiated In about three quarters of an hour.

I'nder the head of educational It should be the duty and effort of the association to distribute circulars giv ing the habits, llfe.ctc, of the game and fl&h to the farmers and people .it large. Farmers should be taught, above all things, the economic value of the game and fish in his vicinity as a permanent resident. He should under stand that the taking of game out of season and tho wholesale slaughter of game will liythe end rob himself worse than It can rob the state of whlah ho is a citizen. A frlejidly relationship should be built up between - him and the sportsmen wnt come from our cit ies, towns and villages to hunt in his vicinity. If he allows the game to nroDagate It will mean dollars in his pocket from the sportsmen who are willing to pay for the shooting privileges In his vi cinity. They should be taught to uso the signs now in vogue in manv east ern states, stating that shooting privi leges may De obtained ror a nominal sum by applying at the farm house. J his insures a good income the entire shooting season. In North Carolina and Virginia last year one fifth of the entire taxation of farm land was paid for by shooting privileges. In Oregon this could easily be made to pay one third the entlro taxation. The farmer should also be taught the difference between the city sportsmen and "sport". The sports men will observe the laws, protect his property and will observe all the de mands which may be made upon him as a gentleman and citizen, nor will hi hunt upon the grounds of tho farmer without paying for the privilege. Politics Mast Disappear. Under the head of legislation comes enforcement of the law. The game war dens and deputies should not bo ap pointed through political' prestige. They should be competent men, who will perform their duty ond work at all times in the interest of the game and fish laws. The association slioull stand now and for all times upon the platform that should demand that our chief executive divorce absolutely from politics the important position of game warden ana aeputies. It has been estimated from reliable statistics that one half the entire pop ulation of our state seeks recreation from the fields and streams, therefore, when this is considered, it must be admitted that it is high time the peo ple of the state at once begin to de vise reform and enforcement of laws to protect and rslnhablt the fields and waters with game and fish. (ftpeclal Dlapatcb to The Journal.) University of Oregon, Eugene, Feb. 22. Baseball prospects are brighter this year at Oregon than they were at the same time last year and a winning team is looked forward to. Practice will be gin In a few weeks and as soon as tho weather settles will be carried on reg ularly. Only three of last year's team grad uated, "Terry" Beck, "Buck" Kelly and Wista." Johnson. Beck's place will be the-hardest to fill, as he was one of the pitchers and so far as Is known none of tho new candidates 4s what would be called a first-class college pitcher. Lee Hurd and Clifford are back, however and Hinkle, who pitched last year for the Bunker Hill nine or Fortlane, will also try out and It is expected thnt he will mnke good. Dickson of Pendleton High school may also turn out well but is rathef light. Taylor Kay Oatoa. "Chuck" Taylor of last year's footbAll team, will probably fill Kelly's shoes at catcher with Ersklne as alternate. Taylor caught for Hill Military academy last year ar.d knows the position well, while Ersklne did good work on the second Oregon team. It was expected thnt Csrl King of the Eugene High school would enter the university this semester, as he has credits enough, but Principal Hug Is lonth to have him leave and so far has withheld his consent. Klnir did splen did work for the Springfield team this year and as he Is accustomed to Hurd's pitching would prove a valuable addi tion to the team. Captain Hathaway still has some hope that Principal Hug will relent. The Initial baz will be held down by Elmer Pslnc - and unless he takes a slump It will be well done, as he was one of last year's stars. As to the rest f th Infield there are likely to be several changes. Curtis Coleman will probably play second base .as It Is his regular position. tioleman Is a star layer anf a great deal Is expected of lm. "Sharkey" Huston, who played second last year, may be shifted to short and In that case "Dud" Clarke will go Into the outfield. Clarke to TimlA. Clarke played outfield on the Portland academy and Multnomah teams and has a splendid arm for distance throwing. Last yea- he did fine work at short hut It Is the Intention of Captain Hathaway to strengthen the outfield. Third base will be played by Hath away as usual. He has been a star player for years and is a heavy hitter. With Clarke in tire outfield will Jbe Kestly and Ramp of last year's team. "Sid" Smith has left the university for business nnd wilj not return. Both Kestly and Ramp did good work last year. Moore and Williams of the sec ond team and Ferruset, a new student from South Dakota, will also trv out and may make the others work for their positions Altogether a lara-e squad is expected to turn out and two good leans snould be selected from these. Dr. Leonard to Coach. Manager Mount was disappointed by not getting Walter McCredle as coach The team will be coached this year by Dr. H. V. Leonard of the mathematics department in his place. Dr. Leonard is a graduate of Michigan, '96. and while thnr nlavptl on tha ' v a o f , r utcher. lie Is very enthusiastic over baseball and Is one of the most popu lar members of the faculty. One of the hardest problems which confronts the management is the loca tion or ino practice grounds. The rieid on the campus which was used last year has been toin up and made ready for grass, as the university authorities wiati to remove the field to a plot of land several blocks from the campus. As this will be tjuite a distance from the s"", """. " a great aeai or complaint. If this la done the manage ment will be put to a great deal of ex pense and trouble. The baseball team will not have ans' too much money as t is and with this added expense is liable to go Into the hole before the season is out. The new players' contracts furnished by tbe league this season have been received from the print shop and Sec retary Smith is supplying each mana ger. This year the players' contracts are upon a uniform blank, the terms only varying. Last season consider able trouble and mlsundcrstamlYng was caused owing to the many different forms used by managers In signing up players, and. profiting by the experi ence, the contracts this year read alike. Colly Barrel!, the clever little second baseman on last year's Bralnard team, has the distinction- of being the first player to sign a 1908 league contract, he having affixed his signature to sn east side contract Monday of last week. Manager Pomeroy also signed up Leon ard Brock, last year's St. Johns catch er, and Al Lerch, who guarded right garden on the Cub team. These three players will wear east side uniforms, possibly playing their old positions. part of the past season and wore a Trunkmaker uniform later, lie n ' the fana alt tip and take notice in tun Spokana-Cub aeries last October by b' fin work In the boa. - "Jk' Whitehead, rrtwhlla manager of the Frakea team of last season, will have 'charge of the west side team In the Trl-City league for this season, the present holder of the franchise having made arrangements with him to tako oharge of the team. Mr. Whitehead hss bean IdentUled with local baseball for several years and la quit popular with playera and patron of the gam. It I" his Intention to use aa many of the old Frakea playera aa possible and make a strong bid for the) pennant President Whltemore approved ' the first batch of contract for 1101 last Friday, they being; those handed In by Manager Pomeroy of the east side. These documents were signed by L. Brock, catcher: Harry. Gardner,' pitcher; C. BarrelU lnflelder; Al Lerch. M. R. Magnes and John Hausoher, outfield ers. He also appointed to tne umpire staff Alex Cheyne, Joe Stutt, Ed Rankin and W. E. Burnslde. ' Manager Hal Pomeroy secured the signature of "Bub" Gardner upon an East Portland contract Friday of last week, thereby getting one of the best twlrlers in the Trl-City league last sea son. Gardner Is a promising voungster of the long, rangy architecture, weighs 180 pounds and has barrels of steam and a fine assortment of curves. He pitched for the Devoes during the fore Saturday ball will ba one of tha fea tures of the Trl-Clty league repertoire this sensnn. There are a round dosen ' Saturdays open on tha Vaughn street grounds, and these will be rilled by tha Trl-Clty league teams. Woodburn has come out for Saturday ball, and games will be scheduled for tne fana at that point. Vancouver will probably ask tor Saturday ball, but It la doubtful If Sat urday ball will be profitable la 81 Johns. i t i , According to statements mad by Sev eral directors and stockholders of the league. Nick Whitehead gav no Inti mation of his desire to serva another t"rni us vice-president of tha Trl-Clty league and was not chosen again by tna board of directors at the annual meat- ; lng. Mr. Whitehead was not present at the meeting which elected his successor and it Is said has no desire for official position In the league the coming sea, son. Furthermore, officials say there is no blacklist in the league ranks dl-' rected against any players of last year's teams.
