CRACK FOOTBALL TEAMS TO
TRY OUT ON CHRISTMAS DAY
Multnomah Has Decided to Give That
Date to Commercial. Which Will
Be Quite Strong.

There's nothing so uncertain as foot
ball dates. Yesterday The Astoriai
announced failure of the negotiations
for Christmas day game betweei
Commercial and Multnomah. and nov
must announce that the Christmas da,
game win take place. Multnomah had
been negotiating with Oregon fol
Christmas, but yesterday Manager
Watkins wired a proposal that Com
mercial will agree to, Mr.. Watkins
is willing to give the team $500 or 40
per cent of the net receipts, CONNER
cial to take its choice after the game
is played. 1t costs money to maintain
a football team. and for this reason
the financial arrangements are import
ant. It is interesting In this connec-
tion to note that football managers
usually have little trouble as to al
lowances.
Manager watkins telegram came
yesterday. 1t was rather indefinite in
its language, but its receipt indicates
that Multnomah wants Commercial for
Christmas The date originally fixed
was December ;. but Commercial was
anxious for the Christmas game and
urged Mr.. Watkins to try and make
arrangements. At first IT seemed that
the Portland team would take on Ore
gon, but now it is probable that Com
mercial win make the Xmas struggle
on Multnomah grid. II the Christmas
day game with Commercial is played
q large delegation will attend from this
city, and there Is little doubt that the
crowd viii be a record-breaker. Fur
ther advices are expected today from
Manager Watkins concluding the ar
rangement. In view of the fact that
Commercial will defeat Multnomah on
Christmas. the game should be seen
by at least 5000 people. 1t will be the

FORTUNE IN PLYMOUTH ROCKS.
Nine Hundred Dollars Paid for Five
Chickens.


While the Americus "yelIow leg" is
a bargain at a quarter each, there is a
fortune in raising the fancy fowls, as
many local enthusiasts we'll know.
There is a chicken farm at a place
called Centre Moniches, on Long Is
land, where white Plymouth Rocks are
a speciality, and they recently paid $500
for rooster, and 800 each for four
hens of this breed. Think of paying
5000 for five fowls which, to the ordi
nary observer, are not Indifferent from
the common sec kind, butts blood that
counts and 1t is the expectation of fu
ture profit that induced the poultry
farm to pay what seems a ridiculous
price for chickens. This new pen of
5000 fowls are producing eggs that peo-
pie are offering s. each for, but they
are not for sale. Just imagine the ex-
quisite ineness of s. egg served at
ones breakfast table! Or consider the
juicy, tender and palatable second
joint of this $500 rooster served with
the proper "fxin's!" And yet you can't
buy him, for he and the eggs are con-
sidered more valuable for other pur-
poses than eating.
