SPORTING NEWS.
THE BASEBALL FIGHT.

From the present outlook of the
baseball war it appears that it Will
be waged strongly and fercely-nOt
as rivals for patronage in Portland
and Seattle, but as bitter enemies.
Strange, but both sides already claim
advantages which they all with equal
gusto vaunt fort4 as points against
the enemy.
Seattle can probably lend good
support to- two teams-but In Port
land it is another thing altogether.
Both leagues may expect to lose
money there and the result will prob
ably be a demoralizing effect on base
ball in that town for some time to
come.
There is no disputing the fact that
J. p. Marshall, president of the old
Portland club has made things hot
so far. 1t is the first inning. The
Pacific Northwest league has had a
triile the best of the argument. The
option on the grounds which they
hold in Portland will be taken up and
work will start Immediately making
an improved ball park
The same may be said of the Seat
tie grounds. The All-Coasters claim
everything in sight, but do not and
can not make good.

Mortality in the French Army Alarms
the Authorities.

PARIS, Dec. 31.--Military author
mortality statistics of the French
army, as reported last week by War
Minister General Andre in answer to
an INJURY relative to the comparative
death rate in the French ard German
armies. He gave the complete figures
in both countries since the Franco
Prussian war.
In that time it appears that over
$4,000 deaths have occurred in the
French army as against 13, 900 in
the German. Even in recent years,
Andre admitted. the mortality was
four times greater in the French
army than in the German. Typhoid
and consumption have been the two
most murderous diseases in France
The figures for last year show that
600 French soldiers died of typhoid,
against 81 Germans, and 1415 of con-
sumption against 1923 Germans.
Andre stated that the French gov
eminent was doing it's best to Sc
cure a pure water supply for bar
racks and garrisoned towns, and as
he had found that the consumption
came from the hard working of weak
men rather than from contagion in
barracks, he had instructed the mill
tary army surgeons not to pass con-
scripts for service in barracks or
city garrisons to such whose physical
condition demanded that they be sta
toned in the country districts.

GROWTH AND STORY !.
ST. J0SEPH's CHURCH

OF the many Catholic churches lin
the city, ST. Joseph's church on Dean
ave, over which Rev. Father De
kanter has supervision, has during
the past year made the most rcmafk-
able progress. When Father Dekantsr
he was confronted with many din
culties that would have broken the
nerve of most mon.
Ten years ago ST. Josephs was
looked upon as the poorest mission In
the state of Washington. Bitter pow
erty stared those I'm the face who ex-
pected to be appointed to the pastor
ship by the late much lamented Bish-
op Junger, and it required a priest
of more than ordinary Christian zeal
and dauntless resolution to undertake
a task of so discouraging a nature.
When Rev. Father Dekanter arriv-
ed upon the scene of his future mis-
sionary labors he found very few
Catholic families under his jurisdic-
ton, and then those were either liv-
ing in absolute want or were Catho-
lies Of the nominal description.
The energetic priest encountered
obstacles at every step he made to
organize his congregat ton, but he con-
tinued to pursue his firm resolution.
despite the disheartening circum-
stances until at length he erected
church and a parochial residence to
which the city can point with pride
The parish is now thoroughly or
ganized and during the fair which
was held last month more than the
required sum of money was raised
to free the congregation of indebted
ness and to place the church on good
financial standing.
