Portland Dealer Says Ideal
Money Situation. 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

Monmouth Wins Game.
(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.

Game preservation as interpreted by
expert sporuimen can De properly dl
vldld into three divisions: Education!.
legislative ana recreative.
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.

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

players will wear east side uniforms,
