THH SAME CLASS OF With Rod and Gun By Ernest Roatel and Dlok Green , When .Tim Watkins, southern Oregon old-timer, came to this section In 1877, the railroad ended nt Redding, Calif., and the re malniUK distance was traversed by stage coach. Ho arrived horo at the nge of 15 years ond a week was spent coming from Redding to Rancherle, the largest stock ranch In the section at that time. The Klamath Indians would come thero In the fall and camp nearby to hunt deer, drying the meat and tanning tho hldos lu camp. "In those days," Jim recalled yestordny, "the Indlnns made fires to burn out the old brush and keep tho country clear of old, dead timber smart 04 than the white man of today. You could rldo a horHe almost nny place through tho woods and now you can't even go through the brtiHh nnd timber on foot. In the fall of 1878, I killed my first door. I had an old muzzle loading shotgun, 1 wouldn't hunt alone ami so one tiny my brother John and George Ileall, said they would take me out to show me how. Wo went up Clark creek n mile from Rancherle and came onto nn Indian camp with about M Indians living there. The squaws stayed In camp and tho men hunted tho deer. The squaws did their work when It came to drying the meat and tanning the hides. "My brother and George saw so me of them.' Jim continued, "and were acquainted with Tit Ulver Charley, chief of the tribe. He said he would go with us and took n Henry rifle, the first breech loader I had ever seen. They told me to follow a certain trail and not to leave It. Tbo hunters said they would run mo down a deer, being on both sides ot me. The Indian chief was about 300 yards from me. nod I suspect he kept his distance because he wanted to be sure and be out of the range of my gun. I had nanr only a quarter of a mite when three deer trotted ' across the trull In front of me and stopped. The bluest one was nearest to me. At a tlis lunce of i5 yards 1 fired the shot Ktin and the deer went down with a broken neck. When the other hunter came on the scene, I no ticed the deer 1 hud shot Was a crippled dne. Some time before, ber right forclcK had been shot off at the' knee and had healed over. You enn be sure the other hunters taitKsicd at me and seemed to ieod me for killing 1 cripple. "I didn't bo on with the other men." Jim went on to say. "but waited, expecting to see two fawns come back. They didn't and In about three hours the hunter re. By Pap -nJ05T ABOOT !

It took them only thrco hours nnd they didn't go i more than two miles the whole l time.'.' ! Changing his subject to another j year, Jim told of conditions In tho ! spring of 1880. "That spring,' ho ; said, "I saw from 100 to 200 door I In a bunch. Tho winter waa hard j that year and lots of animals died ' for want of food. It wasn't so hard for tho deer because they could trnvel on top of the snow . and browse on moss. It was hard for cattle, "Wo cut down trees for , tho cows and you could hear them start bawling as soon ns the tree fell and then start running for the tree. AVo added salt to tho moss and they woro kept alive that way during tho winter." . . Jim Is hitting along toward 70 years and Is not planning nny more doer hunta and Is now con tent to look back on tho yenrs that have passed. He is not tho same strong fellow ho wns 4 0 years ago, but he is enjoying good health and for the past several year has been carryinff mail In Central Point. Ho recently wrote nn nutobioRra phy which Includes quite a num ber of hunting experiences similar to tho one ho told yesterdny. PIONEER COUPLE MARK 69TH YEAR BAKKR. Ore., Dec. 20.

(ff) After nn afternoon and evening of rest, due partly to the fact the. day wan Christmas and partly to the fact they would out and work ed hard during the morning, the Hose tournament's football teams, Washington Stato and Alabama, prepared today for further phys ical and mental training. Tho two teams will meet on the gridiron New Year's day; Alabama, prldo of tho south, and Washing ton Stato, Pacific coast champions. Coach Wallace Wade daily. putting his CrimHOn Tide through about two hours of fundamentals and running signals. Ho is paying little attention to now plays, con centrating on conditioning tho players. . Hard Workout Today. Coach Orln "Babe"' Hollingsbory expected today to give his boys a hard workout. He said he felt the team was coming along rapidly and needed only a few morn hard ses sions. Next week, he said, he will start tapering down on the rigid training. The fact that Alabama outweighs the Washington Cousars bothers Hollingsbery not nt nil. "We were outweighed mnny pounds per man in almost every game this season, but it did not affect the outcome of a single ono of the contests." he said. Coach Wade has not as yet de cided on his line, and today reit erated his statement he probably will not decide for several days. Ho said he may send Newton God frey, all-American tackle, to play guard instead of Freddie SIngton, providing Godfrey is In good con dition. ! IN YULE FEATURE LOS A NO ELKS, Dec. 26.

(I) Ran Johnson, former president of the , American JeaKue, apparently won I another .victory this time against, (Old Man DUease. . ' (. j After 13 weeks In bed, the for-j 1 mer czar of baseball was eonsid-! jered "out of the woods" in hinj j fight against diabetes which ag-l igravated a foot infection and! 1 threatened for a time to result in; j the loss of one Iok. Wtrontf of voice and still vitally interested In baseball, Mr. Johnson was host to several friends yester day in a hospital hero where he Is convalescing. "I owe my life to Phil Rail," said Mr. Johnson, to the group which included Mr Ball, head of the St. Louis Browns.1. "He stepped in and took charge of my case and re fused to permit amputation of my "leg. At one tlmo I myself felt that only a miracle could pull me through. But the miracle hap pened." ' Mr. Johnson then unloosed some , ... .- .z This OLF Harry Vardon, the Old Master of golf, writing in "Tho Kdinburgh Evening Dispatch," considers the larger ball, about to become stand ard in the United States; steel shafts, lately legalized in Great Britain; and other matters, waxing eloquent and a bit romantic over the shaft question. Old Harry is not what you might call a steel-shaft devotee or even a convert. "To be sure," he says, "steel shafts may bo bettor than many hickory clubs now in existence. It has to be confessed that they liave become very popular, although It is an Interesting point that Bobby Jones and Walter Hagen have al ways preferred hickory." After stating his belief that tho steel shaft "never will make a bad player into a good one," Harry approaches the romanco of the hickory shaft. . "Hickory," ho writes, "has made ono big contribution towards tho glamour of golf. It has given us that treasure known as the favor lt club the ono which, in the eyes and hands of its owner, is different from all the others in the world. "Can mechanized steel provide the equivalent? I wonder. "On the eve of the open mixed foursomes at AVorpleton last year, Miss Joyce M'ethered broke her pet mashie-tron, the club with which she played those marvelously deft and deadly little shots from around tho green up against the hole-side. "Twice site had tho head re shafted, hut to no purpose. Noth ing could replace that old shaft. . . . A steel shaft would not have broken, perhaps. But then, could it ever havo provided such a club as Miss Wefrherod's old fashlo-iron?"

He said he had written George Reach, manufacturer or the oiTicial base ball, that unless the amount of rubber In present day baseballs was reduced, tho game, in John son's opinion, would bo seriously impaired. ,? "Night hasehalL has created a j uuiiuisiiy mici eM iui tno iniir, c peciaiiy among women: but in my opinion it Is not an Interest that Is of an educational or permanent nature," he said. "Night baseball is not natural. It cannot be per manent. It will never take hold of the major leagues, and I do not believe It will' long continuo as a life-saver for tho minor loa- gues." IoIf, he said, was one cauiie of the Ulnesa in the lower' class minor teaguo circles. Rich men who for merly were "ungels" to the minor leagues have dropped baseball for golf and country clubs, he said. Harry then recalls Ted Bay's famous old "bolt-head" driver,, which I remember he was using In 1913 on. his first tour of this country; and later, in 1920, when he won our open championship at Inverness, Toledo. "I never knew a driver like that one," writes Harry. "Ted used it mnny years so many years that at last he had to give it up, be cause ft becamo creaky. ... It had four small steel bolts running through tho head from the back, finishing flush with tho face; but that was not Its abiding glory. Its virtue lay in its shaft. Everybody who waggled it found instant con fidence in It, and everybody who was allowed to try it drove well. "If Ray wanted to get home with a very long second-shot, through the green he took thiB driver, and ho has said that It never failed him. I think It must havo been the only shaft of Its kind in tho world. And I fancy nearly every golfer has a pet club affording a corresponding sense of security and pleasure. 1 wonder If there are such, with steel shafts." Personally, I have been deriving n good deal of amusement this year in tho boosting of tho newly-ac-qulrcd "torsion" by steel shaft makers. At first they boasted of a lack of torsion. . Baker.
