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. Salem
has Improved', considerably - since
meeting the Cycols last. ; alem de
feated the Motormatcs on their, last
appearance here, ."Frisco". Edwards
proving to be the hero with a home
run. with the bases full., ,. .'.
The locals have been hitting over
- .300 all season, while the Monta
vllla team has a season average pf
.394. It will be a real battle, mates,
with the best team winning.. Tur-
, pin . has been added to Balem's
"forces and will probably do duty
hero tomorrow. The locals have
probably drawn the hardest game
of the opening program. Cycols
meet Fort of Portland at Portland.
The Salem game Is billed for Ox
ford park at the usual time, 3 p. m.
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.

BERLINSliDE
FROM PUBLICITY
Quebec, Aug. 21. (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'

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,

DAMPSEY WILL TRAIN
ATLANTIC CITY CAMP
Saratoga Springs, Aug. 21.
Jack Dempsey Is going to shake the
dust of New York from his shoes
for god, as far as fighting Is con
cerned.
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.
There Are No "Eighty" Golfers
With Bad Eyes
If you are one of those whose eyes are focused for
distance you can't see the ball 'tho you keep your
eyes on it. While you try you're putting the great
est drain on your nervvous energy known to medi
cine. A better golf score, a better day's work, a
pleasant evening are in no small part a matter of
getting rid of eye strain.
