In the Yale-Princeton dual wrestl
ing tournament, the Tigers failed to
win a single bout. Yale took five of

The case of Catcher Donohue Jump

portance than than It at first prom
ised. Hoth the St. Louis bascbnll clubs

Americans will work out in San An
tonio, while the Nationals will make
Houston their headquarters.
Summer and winter. It's all the
same to "Stony" McOlynn. when It
comes to Jumping contracts. He has
Just Jumped the York, Pa., police
force to Join the St. Louis Nationals.
At the meeting of the directors of
the Spokane Amateur Athletic club
Thursday night it was decided to send
three men to the big Indoor track ath
letic meet at Seattle the lntter part of
this month.
There is Joy galore nmong the ath
letes nnd students of Pacific Universi
ty because of O. L. Coons' success in
securing Archie Hahn, the world re
nowned cinder path performer, to
coach the track team for 1907.
Louis Castro, the ex-Portland gold
brick shortstop, who flashed In the
pan a couple of years ago ond was
released by Dugdalo when the fat man
temporarily held the reins in Port
land, has signed to play with the At
lanta team In the Southern league.
Johnny Bllcter of Toledo, defeated

chnmplon lightweight catch as catch
can wrestler of the United States,
Irvine Jensen, who has signed with
Manager Qulnn for his Spokane team,
Is a Salt Lnko boy who has had sev
eral years' experience In the national
game. Jensen Is a southpaw and
throws a puzzling outeurve which Is
fatal to left-handed batterB.
Pendleton's old-time favorito, Ralph
Olaze, hns reported for practice with
the Boston Americans this year. Olaze
pitched good ball, for his first appear
ance in real fast company, last year,
and must have made good or he would
not be found on the list of this year's
reorganized team.
Jack Palmer, Ihe English heavy
weight, arrived In New York last
week. Palmer Issued a challenge to
fight Jack O'ltrlen, Pill Squires nnd
Tommy Burns as soon as he touched
foot on American soil. Palmer is not
a big fellow. He stands 5 feet 10 'A
Inches and weighs 170 pounds.
"Tex" Itlcknrd hns Just made the
announcement that he has signed Joe
Gans and Battling Nelson for a fight
at Ely, Nev. The date Is set for July

"Trilby" Dugdale has purchased
Allen, Kemmerllng. De Armond,
Hlckey and Prennen fronT Little Rock
for his 1907 Seattle team In the
Northwest league. K1rby Drenncn al
ways proved to be a hard working
outfielder when he was with Port
land, but as to Hlckey, he Is surely a
fit subject for the "Down and Out"
club.
Peter Donaldson, the wealthy Clyde
Ironmaster, and one of the most en
thusiastic yachtsmen In the British
Isles, i.. :ih'Mit to challenge for the
America up. At the annual dinner of

plete, and would be In the hands of
the Fifes, of Dumbarton, in n few
days. .Johnson and Squires Mulched.
Jack Johnson, the negro heavy
weight, has been matched to fight
Hill Squires, champion of Australia,
for a purse and side bet that will total
$20,000. The match will take place
at Melbourne within six weeks.
Word was received to this effect and
the veracity of the report Is borne out
by the fact that the Australian cham
pion failed to sail for this country
last month.
Billy Wrenn, the horseman nnd
gambler, Is to promote the match. He
has guaranteed $20,000 for the fight
ers' end of the money.
Angels Trouiico Glnnts.
The Angels hung one over on the
New York Giants Saturday uftemoon,
and they did not do the Job by halves,
either. Dillon's men hit the ball
harder and oftener, ran around the
sacks, fielded their positions better,
and in fuct excelled the big leaguers
In every department of the game, the
final score being 6 to 2.
George Wheeler of the 'Frisco team,
acted us umpire nnd he nnd McGraw
nearly came to blows at the begin
ning of the seventh Inning. Wheeler
called a ball that Bresnahan thought
should have been a strlko, and in his
anger tho fat little catcher of the
Giants threw the ball with all his
might straight at Wheeler. The lat
ter dodged und called Bresnahan
down. McGraw, sitting over on the
players' side, took up the argument
and made several remarks about
Wheeler that brought that Individual
from the field. Ho made straight
for McGraw, and the two almost came
to blows. Wheeler was finally pre
vailed upon to finish tho game. Mc
Graw brought down the Ire of the
bleachers upon himself In the early
part of the game by a few of his side
lino spocches,
Darrovr, a local amateur, made his
debut as a catcher for the Angels and
showed up well.

Once MIkIHx Brute Losing Ground
Ilrfnre Civilization.
The lion, llko the other great cats, la
a relic of a diminishing race and do
minion. In the early atone age the
"cave" Hon roamed throughout the
southern half of Europe, and It Is be
lieved that along the Mediterranean, at
least. Us extinction was due to prehis
toric man.
The battle hns gone on ever since.
Long ngo lions Were exterminated
from Afghanistan, Baluchistan and
northern Persia. A century ago they
were more or less prevalent on north
western India, but now none remain
save a few In the Ghcer, a wooded
hilly tract of Kuttiawnr, where they
are "to some extent preserved by the
nawabs of Jooimghoor;" Farslstnn,
where the marshes about Nlrls lake af
ford shelter nnd the hosts of pigs
feeding on the ncorns of the ouk forests
furnish subsistence.
Similar conditions enable a few llonf
to maintain themselves along the lower
Euphrates nnd Tigris, hut they were
long ago exterminated from nil Asia
Minor, Syria, Arabia, Esj-ni and Alge
ria. From Abyssinia and the southern
Sahara southward to the Orange river
Hons still exist except In the most pop
ulous (Vstrletx, and In some places arc
very Humorous.
There seems never to have been more
than one siiccles, nor, in spite of the
former belief In the "innneless Hons of
Guzerat" and the "black muned" ones
of other places. Is any variety well lo
calized. Lions with full manes have
been shot in India as well as those
with hardly nny. and "out of fifty male
Hon sUlns scarcely two will be" found
alike In nlur nnd length of mane."

THE FLAG REVERSED.
A Fisherman' Emblem That Tells of
Ulsti-eHs ami Hope.
One of the frequent slants In the
ports nlon-? the eastern coast Is that of
a Dsliinj; schooner coining into the har
bor with an American tlag hoisted at
the mainmast head In Its reverse posi
tion. To the interested spectators that
flag always brings a pans of distress,
for it means that one or more of the
crew nre"iilsfin,'" Uirouth some calam
ity of the sea. But to the members of
the craft Itself the signal Is not always
an emblem of woe. The flag Is hoisted,
from their Viewpoint, to notify those
concerned that the complement of the
ship 1b not fulj, and Uiey live on hope
for a long time before they acknowl
edge that the men who have disappear
ed are really lost.
A stranger to seafaring ways asked
the skipper of one " theie fishing
schooners the other day what the dis
tress signal meant, and he was set
right by the eapialn, who remarked In
the most cheerful way In the world:
"They're missing out of th" crew, of
course, but we haven't given them up
by a long sight. Ye see, they may
have been picked up by soiuo other
boat nu' carried off to th' other Bide.
Oh, no, we doa'give them up just be
cause we've mTssed them! It's more
than likely they'll turn up yet." New

How many men would be needed to
pull a weight hauled by an elephant?
Fifty. Tho answer is the result of re
cent investigations made to determine
the respective pulling power of horses,
men and elephants. Two horses,
weighing 1,'VO pounds each, together
pulled :i.7".n pounds, or MO pounds

Proverbs of Assam.
Here are some rather clever proverbs
of Assam: "The best crops grow on
others' tick's, but the best sous are at
home." "A bird Is a little thing, but
It builds its nest on a lofty nulling
tree." "Buy land which slopes to the
middle, and marry n girl who has a
good mother." "The biggest jack fruit
always hides under tho leaves." "If a
man slips down it is always his eldest
wife's fnult. but if his youngest wife
makes a mistake he says be will see
about It." "A hasty cook, a hasty
broom, nnd the husband goes fasting;
a slow cook, a slow broom, nnd the
husband eats three meals a day."
Mexican Cacti.
Mexico has a cactus which grows
toothpicks; another, ribbed and thick
ly sot with toothpick spines, which fur
nishes the natives with combs. There
Is another cactus, the bug curved spines
of which resemble fish hooks. There Is
another which Is an almost perfect Imi
tation of the sea urchin. Still another
resembles a porcupine. , There Is anoth
er covered with long red hair which
is nicknamed the "red headed cactus."

New Organization Would I'rotwt the
Priceless l'ororts of Oregon and ut
the Same Time Disseminate Useful
Knowledge on the Pr;et::-'Ioi mil
I'rescrvuilmi of Forests Local
, Branch May lo Organised In Pendleton.
Pendleton and Umatilla county peo
ple are interested In the Oregon For
estry association which has been or
ganized In Portland for the purpose
of encouraging a sentiment for the
preservation of Oregon forests.
It Is possible thut a local branch of
the association will be organized In
Pendleton. The matter Is now being
considered by the women's clubs, and
It Is hoped that a forest preservation
sentiment may be aroused In the city.
A circular letter sent out from the
office of the secretary, Anson E. Ca
hoon of Portland, suys of Its objects:
The new association will deal with
forest problems from a practical point
of view. It will take up and discuss
practical questions from the view
point of the lumbermen, the miner
and tho rancher. , It will aim towards
the dissemination of the knowledge
of forestry. In devising means of bet
ter protection against fire that will
be applicable to all parts of the state,
and In a more economic utilization of
forest products.
Oregon has un object lesson In the
east of the wanton destruction of tim
ber, and moreover she has an oppor
tunity to porflt by this lesson and use
her forests more wisely and judicious
ly than they did.
The forest of Oregon Is Its greatest
asset, and lumbering its greatest In
dustry. The output of the mills for
1006 had a financial value of $30,
000,000. The 20,000 men employed
In the lumber industry In Oregon In
1906, received $11,696,000 in wageB. It
Is conservatively estimated that more
than twice the mill cut of timber is
destroyed annually by forest fires.
The whole United States will within
a few years look to Oregon and the
Pacific coast for its lumber supply.
There is more standing timber In Or
egon than in any other state in the
Union, so every patriotic citizen of
the state should show an Interest in
everything connected with this great
wealth.
We owe It to posterity not to destroy
tluir heritage for the sake of present
returns, and we should do all In our
power to pass on to them the great
natural wealth that we fell heir to.
It Is hoped that you will give your
support to this association and hence
assist In promoting the cause of for
estry and protecting the forest wealth
of our state. Very truly yours,
ANSON E. CAHOON,
Secretary.
