PAGE TEN THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON SATURDAY, AUGUST 21, 1926 SAME SUNDAY IS CRUCIAL ONE IN TITLE CONTEST What are Salem's chances against the strong Montavllla. team that, comes here Sunday ? This all-important sport question Is going the rounds of those inter ested In the welfare of the Senators - and their possible chances to win the state semi-pro championship in the annual fall tournament which opens Sunday. .- . It la a bit doubtful who. will win the state title, and a great deal de pends upon tomorrow's results. Montavllla defeated the Cycols last Sunday, 8 to 2, Johnny Harklns turning the leaders of the Greater Port land -Valley league back with but four scattered hits. He has i been the leading hurler all season, ! winning 15 of the 16 games he has performed In. j Cycols have been ft . stumbling Mock for Saiein a?' y :ow hold ing possession of first place In the i Greater Portland leagne. Salem, however, has trimmed the Oilmen twice and lost three times, one game not counting In the league standings. This dope would show that the, two leaders of the Greater Port land league are about even and would show ft fnighty tough game Jn prospect against the Portland city champs,--with -Salem 'a 'bit- in arrears.. Montavllla lost here once this year, hut Harklns was not ou the mound at that time, being Bayed for a regular league game, V, . Both teams aro strong and.

McKersle, Albany's former first baseman, will also be on the key stone sack for the Senators. Mc Kersle Is a left-handed, hard hit ting first baseman ar.d will add real strength to the club. VVe have-o good chanco to- upset Montavllla and we are going out to win the pennant," said Bishop this morning. "Our team Is gopd and any" team that Is going like we are now will T " plenty of opposition. We will have the same lineup as has been playing, with the exception of the iwo new players." My Line o' Talk - Everett Earto fitaaard Captain Jamt Cook The first comprehensive and exact explora tion of the Pad fie ocean was made in a series of. voyages extending over ft number of years by Captain James Cook, of the British navy, and in the third voyage he entered the seas of the North Pacific ocean and sailed along the Oregon coast. Aside from Sir Francis Drake, who skirted the California coast In 1579, and may have sailed far enough north to glimpse ft. bit of the Oregon shore, Cook was. the first Englishman to sight the lit toral of the Oregon country. It was in 1778 that his ships, the Resolution and the Discovery, made the hazardous cruise along the northwest coast, and in March of that year that the commander and his men, including two Amer ican sailors saw and namd sever al Important headlandB and natur al features of the coastline land - , Boyhood and Youth . Captain Cook was the son of Jamea and Grace Cook, and was born at Marton, Yorkshire, Eng land, In the year 1728. When he was about eight years of age, young James went with his par ents to a large farm, where the boy's father was engaged as over seer, or head servant. Thus It came about. that the lad was, rais ed In a rural atmosphere. In spite of this, he heard, at an early pe riod In his life,, the call of the sea. He served for a time as apprentice to a shopkoeper In a fishing village, but- procured his discharge when 13 years of ago and found employ ment and a life to his liking on board the ship, Free Lovo. Thus began Captain : Cook's maritime experience, and from that date ho was destined to go forward and rise in tho estimation of his superiors until he was elevated to the com mand of scientific and nautical ex peditions sent by the British gov ernment Into various romoto and littlo known parts o tho globe, Officer and Surveyor Cook was too observant and of too studious and practical a turn of mind to be held down to the work and life of a common sailor. Ho had worked up to tho position of mate on a largo vessel at the time of tho breuking out of tho war between England and France in 1755. During the Seven Years' War he served his country faith' fully, went with a squadron to the North Atlantic coast on several oc casions. Cook displayed an aptitude for surveying and It fell to his lot to make surveys and charts of vari ous parts of the coast, particularly In tho St. Lawrence river and at New Foundiand. In preparation for Wolfo's assault upon and solgo of Quebec, Cook with great brav ery sounded the channel of the river In front of the fortress, wns discovered, pursued, and barely es- HOG FANCIERS WANT RETURN OF TITLED PIG Washington, D. C. The west ward heglra of European art treas ure and heirlooms is having its counterpart on this aide of the At lantic, but in this case the trail leads southward, and the "object d'art" Is pigs. A little over a year ago a promi nent, agriculturalist from Argentina. Don Jose Luis Cantillo, ex-governor of Buenos Aires, came to tins coun try to buy "pigs with a history." In the center of pig production along the upper reaches of the Mississippi river he found "All Sen sation Leader," a Duroo boar- a pig of historic, If not aristocratic antecedents and a social weight in his own right. He also obtained seevral lady pigs that figure promi nently In the Burke's peerage of hog lineages. They were bought and are now -residing on the Ar gentines hacienda, where they en joy a standing of note. Not unlike the European art fan ciers. American hog fanciers now want "All Sensation" back and they are willing to pay a fancy price for him. Three or four hog raisers In the middle west have made offers. But. not one has as yet been an swered by Don Jose, and it Is fear ed the United States has Irrevoca bly lost one of Its first barnyard treasurers.- ' '- caped with his life. He was soon placed In command of a war ves sel at Halifax, and he assisted In the recapture of tho Island of New Foundiand from the French forces. Voyages At the conclusion of the war in 17C3, Cook under orders from par liament, surveyed various areas along the Atlantic coast, and then in 1708 was placed in command of an expedition which explored the South Seas for n considerable' dis tance, observing from that latitude the transit of Venus, and disco v erlng numerous Islands, Including the Sandwich islands. His second voyage carried him into the frigid realms of the Antarctic ocean. Off For Oregon Eight days after the American colonics had declared their inde pendence of England, Cook put to sea nt Plymouth, IJngland, bound for the more northern parts of the' North Pacific ocean. His instruc tions, opened at sen, bade him "sail northward along the coast as far as latitude 65 degrees, or further if you are not kept back by land or Ice." . Seeking the Passage. ' And so Cook with his two ves sels entered and explored the South Seas, visiting and becoming ac quainted with that mid-ocean sta tion, the Hawaiian Islands, coast ing along some 3,000 miles of un known shoreline, and naming sev eral points and promontories on the Oregon side of the Pacific ocean. Ror a month he tarried at Vancouver Island, -then cruised farther north to discover Mt. Edge cumbe and Mt. St. Ellas, find and explore the Aleutian Islands, and then make explorations southward along the Islan coast. The North west Passage which his Instructions bade him seek were never located by Captain Cook, for when he land ed .again on the soil of the Sand wich Islands he became embroiled, with the natives and was slain. Began the Fur Trade Not the least of the results of Cook's voyages was the increase of knowledge which was made In re gard, to the value of the peltries of otter, beaver and other v'ur-bearlng animals of the north. . Cook's men while in the Northwestern waters bartered for a goodly store of furs, and when they arrived on the coast of China, later, on, they found that these furs were in great demand by the whimsical Chinese. At Canton and other towns on the mainland of Asia, the sailors of the two vessels, now under the com mand of Gore, an American, sold all of their furs at the best Imag inable prices, and soon after the vessels returned to England, the world was apprized of the fact that tremendous profits might bo real ize by those who cared to engage in the fur trade off the Northwest coist. It wns not long before there were vessels flying the flags of many nations, Including American ships, off the Oregon coast. It should be noted, finally, that Led yard, one of Cook's men who was an American, had much to do with arousing Jefferson to the import ance of the country of Old Oregon, and that the acquisition of Oregon was an indirect result of Cook's famous voyage.

(P) Mr. and Mrs. Irving Berlin today sought refuge from the glare of publicity at the summer home of Max Win-, slow In Thousand Islands, after failing to achieve anonymity as "Mr. and Mrs. J. Johnson" on the passenger list of the S. S. Mont calm from Glasgow. The song writer, and the dis owned daughter of Clarence Mac kay. president of the Postal Tele graph company, were greeted at the pier by three newspapermen on their arrival yesterday. Friends had expected them on the Homeric, -since Al Jolson -said in New York recently that they were coming home from ft Parle honeymoon on that liner. Some newspapers ftt that time credited them with ft desire to -have their first child born tn the United States. In Parts, Mrs. Berlin denied that ft visit by the stork was Impending. On arrival here Mr. Berlin said: "We are returning to America because it Is our home and we hope time has coma when we will be allowed to enjoy the beautiful essential of a home privacy. The only , question concerning me In which the public might be Interest ed, Is answered when I say I am going to begin work on a new show."' i' "nijwflwiwft? WHAT IS . PASTEURIZATION? "Pasteurization Is tho heating of milk to n certain tempera ture a treatment that is suffi cient to destroy 91 per cent of the bacteria In milk, and to make It entirely safe." Says Farmer Boy. For family use, pasteuriza tion of milk means precaution, prevention and protection. IiiW TSiSfim:Vn DAMPSEY WILL TRAIN ATLANTIC CITY CAMP Saratoga Springs, Aug. 21.

He will break camp tomorrow night and train in Atlantic City, There was much speculation In camp today over a report that Dempsey had bought two colts at the yearling sale In connection with the August racing meet. Some pro fessed to see the possibility of the champion entering the racing game before long. If It Is true that Dempsey bought the horses, the purchase - was through a commissioner. It Is said that one of the colts Is a stallion, which be Intends to name Califor nia, and the other li a filly, which he iwlt call Lady Estelle.
