e teams and positions are as follows:

Ike game opened with the teams lined
np. But it was noticed that the Portland
caotsn failed 10 give his men the signal
10 play. Savage motioned his men off
l the field, and an ungentlemanly and dis
graceful exhibition was given by their
captain. He refused to play as long as
Pope vas on the field. contending that
l he (Pope1 was professional and, there
fore, making himself and the players pro-
fessionals by playing against him. The

captain, but he stolidly refused to play,

= field The rank injustice of the kick was
| very apparent. As the game drew along
pope's presence was badly needed, for
blocking and interference, and with his
well-known ability in that line, kershaw
and Simpson would have played
smuch finer game. kershaw repeatedly
said that he could not play his position
with that confidence that Pope's presence
would have given him. After the play
was started Referee Jacobs wretched de-
cslons made the home team vince and
long wranges followed some outrageous
decisions.
The p0rtlands. with the exception OF
four or five players, are little short of
roughs, and language. actions and appear

The Portlands' play was superior all

employed the wedge almost continuously,
and sent the hull-necked Randall through
holes in the center and guard for most Of
their gains, Umpire Wrestling distin-

eislons, He was acting the part Of an ar
hirator fairly and with judgment.
On the Tacoma side frevvett, Evans and
kershaw played the game almost exclu-
srely. The absence OF William Goodwin,
Of Seattle, was felt greatly by the Taco
