Basketball played on the local floor this season, when they de fea ted Victoria T. M. C. A.. 29 to 21. The game was one continual round of excitement with never a minute's break, Portland was behind at the end of the first half but with the return of Captain Toung to the game In the sec ond half thev won nut. . Jack Hartman, now has a man' who it can. be' said is a good rival for first honors in the list of northwest basket ball stars. He Is Whyte, the bis; Vlo toria forward. Ho made baskets from almost any position, in this way being only a short way behind Hartman, and made soma of the. most spectacular joiik snots ever seen -on tne iocai,iioor. And they didn't dome very far between either, for in the first 1 half he made three Ions; shots in a row In as neat and approved manner as any one could pos sibly do. His work in this half all but took the heart out -of the local quintet. With the com In or of Younsr. however. the tide turned and the game was soon ma.de sale, rne locals made 10 points in the second besides holding their op ponents to but one point. Sweeney had better luck with Whyte In this half tn an ma sneets in the nrat ana to nim may be given the praise of the better defensive play of the locals. The first half certainly looked bad for Portland, for with Whyte's spectacular baskets and the general alt round play of the visitors they had the local Ave on the run most of the time. Sterling work by John "Hartman was all that saved them. second Half Pretty. The second half was as pretty a fight sa has ever been played on a local floor. Young was In great form and at the start came throuah with the first basket. Victoria was fighting all the t-lmn l-.Anras.aw tan. I l.At An mtn JtiA ..I.ITT. IKIWtTVI. HUM UIID IIUI II I U U the locals gain without fighting for it. In this way Victoria outplayed their op vponents, for In the first half when the British Columbia lads had what seemed to be a safe and at least a comfortable lead there were several of the locals who were loafing. Russell especially de serves censure for this, for not only did he give the Victoria team several baskets by loafing, but he was also fouling considerably and had there been n umpire to help the referee out 'there would probably have been a different tale to tell. The advantage gained by the Vic toria Inris in the first half lasted but a short while in the second half. It was but a short time before Young and Hartman had mad,- several baskets and these two managed to make 10 points between them before Victoria made her one notut. Hartman and Young nassed together much better than they have ever done before. The lineup was p follows: Portland. Victoria, Sill. Hartman. F Whyte Russell F Came Hartman, Young. . .C.

New York. The lower picture shows Sutton making a shot.'. Apropos the present agi tation in jaano - tor game laws uniform wnn tne ore gon game code, the writer recalls an amusing Incident in which an industrious game warden lost out probably for the first time In his energetic omciai career. The warden. MeH. Harbauxh. a prod uct of the hills of old Kaintuck. had Jurisdiction over Nes Perce and Idaho counties, a famous game section or tne Bitter Roots, and many a careless mountaineer had been deprived of a luscious venison steak through his ac tivity. Wherever he found unlawful killing Harbaugb confiscated the skin, horns and meat, and haled the offender into court, where a heavy fine was usually imposed. Harbatigh was an ardent hunter. One winter day ho went out into the woods and foiled a beautiful deer. It was tfce prise animal of the year, Proudly he bore the animal Into Lewlston, and hung it on a hook In front of a local butcher shop. All day scores of passers admired It, allowed their mouths to water and then hurried on. A heavy fog suddenly fell over the town before the street lights glowed, and half an hour before McH. was to rail for his venison. When he hove in sight the deer was gone. A vigorous search was made of the hotels and other mat mar kets of the ton, but not a trace of It could be found. Harbaugh was furious and threatened to send the of fender up for life. The disappearance was so complete that the whereabouts of the deer was never learned, and where it went is to this day a secret. It weighed several hundred pounds and was not easily handled. By some few it Is believed the theft was committed In retaliation for the official's raids among the mountain people, of whom quite a number are residents of Lewlston. Bince tbe news of the engagement of Oliver Cutts. the famous Harvard foot ball player to a Dorchester girl, there has been considerable speculation as to whether or not Pennsylvania graduates or students will be Invited to the wed ding. Surething betters, here Is a chance to lay some of your coin. "Ollie" was a, student In the days when Har vard broke with Penn. because the sons of William were considered shady in their selection of amateur football ma terial. Needless to say Penn was wal loping Harvard, with amazing consist- noll oetnr "nilif'' wu rrxrlu. ated and safely away from the athletic! field, somebody found out that he had I tauxht'a physical culture-' class for money in an obscure gymnasium. What an awful howl went up from Philadel phia about the fairness of the Har vard athletic system and the nearsight edness of the faculty. No there won't oe any invitations to Pennsylvania men Hope that fellow Shaw comes out west to defend his title as 120 J-apd hurdling champion at the A.-Y.-P. na tional games. There will be some- keen disappointment around the classic shades of Dartmouth and the sectional ly prejudiced New York newspapers. With Forrest Smithson. the Portland boy. Jumping over eight high hurdles In 11 seconds flat. It looks as if Mr. Shaw was doomed to the greatest-disappointment of contemporary times. Wouldn't a bout between Con Al bright and Strangler Smith be a good appetizer for the ,0'Connell-Young Haekenschmidt wrestling match in Ex position rink, February 18. Albright says he will throw the local stevedore twice In an hour for a 1100 side bet. Just to show the fans that he is O'Con nell's equal or maybe master at the wrestling same. There are those who profess to think Smith can put it over the Rochester wonder. Wonder if the Mairathonitls craze will reach Portland? From present In dications It is hardly likely that the fever will be spared to this section. With Billy Sunday. John L. Sulli van and -other noteworthles familiar to sport followers, headed this way, there should be things doing. . Would a federal grand Jury about to indict a trust president sometimes they do, you know find any signifi cance in the word "doings'1 in a let ter. Does "doings" convey the Im pression that there Is about to be a "frameup" to separate somebody from his money. The supposed letter from Chicago to a Portland man. anent the Edgar Frank-John Haley amateur wrestling match, which was criticised In the Seattle Times as being- -fixed" in order to secure a bout between Haley and Venables, contained the magic word. "Doings" might be Interpreted s meaning anything. "Doings' doesn't mean 'frameup'.' any 'more than It means that there will be a pie eating contest and is a mighty poor excuse to squirm out or a difficult position. There Is a letter at this Office for "Strangler" Smith. Ssiii'l teiiall k (0 v.;.. f .. J 'H, Are Showing the New Spring Styles in HART SCHAMES & MARX , ' .... ,,-'""' Suets.

Rob ins,' a restaurateur of San Francisco, who last Saturday completed a five year contract with his erstwhile "wife. but he doesn't say why, or In what way it is a success. He says: "We have agreed to separate to the extent of occupying separate apart ments, but I do not , mean by that there will be no communication or friendly relations between us. We will not renew the contract, because there is no necessity for It. We can live to gether without a contract If we choose and it will be the affair of no one else." That is. in other words, the traveling man who chooses to .stop with one woman while In Portland and another while in San Francisco Is perfectly Justified in so doing. And for the same reason, the police should desist from Interfering with houses of 111 fame. Again Robins says, "I don't think a man should have to live with ono woman all his life. You don't see any such thing In the lower animal life. Why should human beings have 'to do It?" That shows how much he knows about aniniHls, which will "stack up" pretty evefily with his knowledge of the entire question of marriage. Zoologists tell us that many. If not most of the lower animals ' in their natural state, mate year after year with the same consort, and as for the answer to his question. If Mr. Robins will but reflect on the question: "Why mate at all?" he will perceive the wis dom and necessity of marriage. 80 many objections to marriage and Improvements, have been offered of late years by Socialists and cranks that one must wonder that the good old-fashioned custom does not die out entirely. In fact it Is apparently dying out, and at an alarmingly Increasing ratio, too. For with our present lax divorce laws, mar riage becomes but a mockery a trial contract to be dissolved at any whim or fancy of either party. AVe speak proudly of this as a Christian nation, and I have observed that a goodly share of those who seek the aid of the di vorce courts are so-called Christians, who, because the law says they may, are willing to set aside, wife' or hus band and for no other reason, quite orten, than that another appeals to the fancy, in spite of what he whom they profess to follow, taught to the con trary. And, aside from the moral side of the question there are numerous more material reaaona- In favor of marriage Realizing that space ts not unlimited 1 will endeavor to be as brief as pos sible In mentioning Just a few of these reasons, chtefest among which Is: Without marriage there can be no home, and the homes of a nation are its strongholds. If a system such as advocated and practical by this charla tan Robrhs should bvCorne general, ho-.v could the future generations be reared? And then when two realise that they are joined together for life, the in terests, the ambitions and aspirations of one become those ef the other also, and thus S they both become mutually helpful, both striving together to ac complish the same end, thereby accom plishing much more than either could accomplish alone. And then there Is another argument In favor of marriage which those who know will consider of far greater Importance than any 1 have mentioned and that Is love. Oh, I know that those libertines, and their name Is legion, who, because, of many and promiscuous associations or fre- love, have, rendered themselves Incap able of experiencing the testacy and joy of an undivided love, will pity me for being so sentimental otherwise foolish but not half so much as I pity them. -. . .. . - . 80 long: as. there are men and women who regard chastity as a virtue mar riage will not become an' Institution of the past.
