J. Burns trophy. Seattle won the first half of the match, but Captain Davis 1m confident that the Waverley players will reverse the count in the match to be played over the local course. The date of the match has not been definitely decided tipon, but It is likely that tho event wll be staged durinc the mid'lle part of October, between the men's Ann the women's club championship tourna ments. On account of a large number or the 1VaverIjy Country club players being absent from the city during the month of August, all tourneys scheduled were cancelled.

Gray Discovers One Place to Catch Fish Twenty-five speckled trout, ranging from K to 12 inches in lentrh. formed the catch made In the N"i't.n Fork of Fagle creek last Sunday by II. M. Gray and his family. "It was the best fish ing 1 ever had." said Mr. Gray, "and 1 Intend to go up there again " The party started bright and early and drove their car up the mountain la miles from the conjunction of the North Fork, with Eagle" creek. Leav ing their car, they walked a half-mile .down a zig-zag course into a gorge, where they made their camp. While lunch was being prepared Gray and his son pulled 11 trout out of the stream. After lunch,"Oray went down stream for some distance, and behind a big rock he discovered a deep hole. It looked good, snd It was so, for in less than a mlnwte after the hook had been In tbe water a 12-inch trout Jumped for the fly. Before Gray landed the fish It Jumped out of the water four times Five minutes later he landed another one and three others were pulled out of the same hole. That part of the country has a heavy timber ttrowth and the scenery is ex- ' ceptionally beautiful. Michigan Pondering Over J. Maulbetsch "Ann Arbor, Mich., Aug. 26. Will next fall see Captain Johnny Maul betsch enjoy his beat eeason of varsity football or will It see Michigan's great 'little halfback unable to play up to the form which made him the most feared member of the eleven which - Journeyed down into the east to battle Harrard In the stadium two years ago? Poetic Justice would make the sea-! son of the captaincy Maulbetseh's greatest on the gridiron, but It has ' frequently happened that Michigan's captains have failed to play up to the form which earned them the leader ship. The followers of Tost are not afraid of their captain's ability, how ever. It Is his condition which Is in doubt. ; Maulbetsch was operated upon for appendicitis in the spring of 1915, snd while he played a star game on defense last fall, he plainly suffered from the effects of the operation, lie was several pounds lighter than when at his best, a'nd a few pounds mean much to a man of Maulbetseh's weigiit.

Little is known of the strength of the competi tors as yet,., due to the fact that the coaches do not know how nu'iy of their last season's stare will return to school. The Portland academy, for years a prominent figure In interschoiaetic athletics, will not be represented la the football league this season, due to the clobing of the Institution la-jl June. There is also some doubt as to whether the Hill Military academy will enter a team. With P. A. out and the Hill Military academy on the fence, the league will be composed of the following teams this year: Washington High, Lincoln High, Jefferson High, James John High, FYankiin High and Columbia uni versity. This eeason will mark the first appearance of the Jamaa John High In interscholastl football. There will be no changes In the coaching system of any of th team this year. James John, It Is under stood, has not named its football coach as yet.

PENNANT r- 01 U'.i. r ii NgUreS OnOW VICIOrieS OT ine.Hill b. the United Spanish War Vewr - Eastern and Western Clubs Since 1877, A mathematician who spends his leisure time among the labyrinth of baseball figures has come forward with the startling statement that he expects one of the western clubs of the National league to make a driving finish and capture the IS 16 pennant. In support of this he points out that with one exception there has never ' been a winning sectional stretch of more than five years. The staistician presents the following figures show ing the victories of eastern and west em clubs: 1877-79. east; 1S80-S2. west; 1883-84, east; 1885-87. west. 18SS-90, east; 1901-03. west: 1904-05. east; 1906- .10. west; 1911-15. east. With one ex ception, when the west won four pen- .nants ending In 1903. these figures show that the eastern and western clubs have won In groups of two, three and five years. According to the figures of this same statistician, the eastern clubs have won 25 pennants since 1876 and the western clubs 15. The grand aver age of eastern pennant percentages Is .667, and that of the western clubs is .705. The highest among the eastern clubs was made by Providence in 1884 ;with .750. and the lowest was made , la.t season when the Phillies wor the nennan? with .592. Amonz the west - em clubs Chicago's average of .798 in 1890 is high and Detroit's .637 in 1887 Is low. The mathematical expert Is willing to concede that If a western club does come through with a winning streak it will fall far below the average of winning western clubs of the past. IRed Murray Hitting The Globule a Mile John "Red" Murray, former Cardi nal Giant and Cub outfielder, is play ing a great game with Joe "Dode"' Birmingham's Toronto Leafs in the : land Indians In the American league.
