Bay City Fans Charge Jug
glery Among League
Managers.

ABERDEEN. Oct. 5.--Confidence in
the ability of the Black cats to hold
on to first place and the pennant has
not been shaken for a moment by the
fans here, even though the dark days
at Seattle and while Tacoma was
climbing up on them through straight
bowling over the Miners.
The feeling here is that they will
have accomplished a remarkable feat
from the fact that practically the same
team has played together throughout
the season. while the others have
changed repeatedly with the later ad-
ditions of players returned from strong
Eastern and Middle West teams
Lack of craftsmanship is charged
against the other managers and Presi-
dent Lucas is charged with jugglery
in allowing the Frisk, Rockenfeld ct al.
innovations to stand. Fault is found
and direct charge is made that every
possible move on the chessboard of the
Northwestern league game has been
made to keep Aberdeen away from the
top.
The trade of Downie and Clynes for
Martinke and Nelson between Tacoma
and Vancouver is looked upon as a
particularly raw piece Of jugglery
while the local fans are greatly incen-
sed at the trade whereby Spokane
practically loaned Dolly Gray and
Erickson to Vancouver for the windup
Aberdeen fans have knives up theil
, sleeves. and if the Black Cats should
lose they declare they will carry the
whole matter to the national commits

Manager Mack in response to a query
as to the prospects Of his team win

"Of course" he said, "our only
chance lies in winning both games to-

games with st, Louis. 1t was big
disappointment to me in losing game
today, but we will play it out to the
limit"
The game. the loss of which meant
so much to the Philadelphians, went

practically cXtinguishing their chances
for the championship. He was very

SEATTLE, Wash, oct. 5.-Thc adj
visibility of barring freshmen from

Washington and other institutions of
the Pacific Northwest is the topic of
considerable discussion at the state

college paper at the varsity is making
strenuous attempts to create a senti-

siderable space OF late to arguments
in favor of the change.
While there are a few. among whom
see freshmen barred, the student and
faculty sentiment is strongly opposed
to the plan. Coach Victor Place pro-
nounces a one-year rule a farce, and
Captain Enoch Bagshaw, of tho foot
bali team, laughs at the suggestion.
whatever of the rule in this part of
the country. where freshmen seldom

but rather make scholarship first and
sports second in Importance
Owe do not need such a rule here,
and whatever talk has been done on
the subject amounts to nothing. l can
see no reason why freshman should

more than any one else. 1t would be
an unnecessary discrimination against
the first-year man. IF a new man is
able to make a team there is no reason
why he should be kept off just because
it is his first year 1t makes no diff

of this section would adopt the same
rule if we did. We don't need the rule
1t would injure athletics in the North

DUCDALE TALKS
BIG CAME EAST

SEATTLE Wash, Oct. 5.-The
struggle now going on between Detroit
and Philadelphia for the American
league championship, and which looks
on the strength of yesterdays results,
to mean victory for Detroit caused
Daniel Edward Dugdale, manager of
the Seattle Northwestern league team,
to throw a reminiscent spasm last
evening, and he told things that, pos
sibly, many old-time fans will recall.
"Just 20 years ago Detroit won its
first major league championship and it
looks as if the Tigers will turn the
trick this year making it coincidence
in more than one respect to the expert
ence of an even 20 years ago-1SS7,"
said the fat manager.
II remember, although l was not in
the town at the time. just being in the
act of closing the season with the Buff
falo team of the International league,
all the incidents of that last week and
the series that decided the champion
snip VI lIlC ANdIlOllcil tSdSu6-
"The last weeks series was, by
freak of the schedule. cast to bring
Chicago and Detroit together, and
about the same difference in points d.
vided them as now holds the Philadel-
phia and the Detroit teams apart for
the American league pennant.
Just imagine the excitement when
special excursion of several sections
pulled out of Chicago for Detroit. The
fans were armed with flags, megra-
phones and brooms. Yes, brooms:
brooms with banners that declared for
a sweep of Detroit off the earth.
"But, Detroit won. Took all but one
game, if I recollect Alright, and the
train went back to the big town draped
in mourning. w. H. watkins was
manager OF the National league cham

well, after that, Detroit went
against the st. Louis Browns, cham

agement of Charley Comiskey, present
manager of the White Sox of Chicago
And Detroit won that series. too. They
were champions of the world.

Man Who Has Built Up the Depart
ment of Agriculture.
For more than ten years Hon. James
Wilson has held the position of Sec
retary Of Agriculture and under him
the department has grown to be one
of the most important Of the branches
Of government. When he became Sec
retary, the department consisted Of a
few scientists and a couple of rOll-tOp
desks and was not seriously regarded
anywhere. He proceeded at once to
revolutionize it, his main idea being to
protect the home market and grab ak
the foreign trade he could. He acted
on the theory that this was the Little
Father department of the government
and that the development of the in
dustry which he represented was his
chief concern. While other cabinet Of
ficers devote themselves to the routine
humdrum Of their duties, writes a
Washington correspondent, Wilson has
been 'projicking" around the whole

There are innumerable stories of
! Revolutionary days in Charleston,
! South Carolina The old ladies used
| to tell with glee how, when the Brit
ish were supposed to be out Of the
| way, the young fellows would come
home to dance with them. A message
would go to the nearest cousins and
| friends, and a supper be cooked. 1t
might be only rice and bacon, but it
was good to hungry men, declares
Charleston's historian, Mrs. Ravenal.
The dance and the feast would con-
tinue until the stars grew pale.
Often these merrymakings were dis
turbed by the enemy; but there was
always a negro or two on the watch,
and the harsh note of the screech-owl
or the cry Of the whippoorwill would
give the alarm. Then "partings in hot
haste" a rush for the horses a sharp
sCufte, hot pursuit, and perhaps a
prisoner taken.
The young men had odd adventures.
One young fellow betrayed himself by
his appetite. He was pursued and had
taken shelter at Mrs. Notes place,
on South Santee. She rolled him up
in a carpet, and pushing it against
the wall, told him to keep quiet until
the enemy had gone and she could re-
lease him.
Unluckily, he heard through the open
window his hostess giving directions
to the cook about the chickens which
were to be dressed for the dragons
dinner He could not bear to be left
out, and thrust his head from the car
pet chrysalis, and cried out, Keep the
gblets for me-"
The soldiers heard, and he was at
once caught and carried off, to repent
ut leisure Of his irdiscretion.

| ton which followed the war finished
the breed. They got mixed up with
others until a pure-bred Morgan horse
| became unknown and the breed entire
! ly disappeared. Wilson took up this
task about two years ago. He got a
man in Vermont to give 200 acres for
a Morgan horse farm, and Wilson is
running it.
He has also gone in for developing q
distinct breed Of American coach horse
He has got a place out In Colorado
where the work is being managed by
one of his scientists, and expects to
produce an extraordinarily handsome
breed Of horses. George Rommel is
the man in general direction of this
scheme.
Wilson has given a great deal of at
tention to the problem of corn breed
ing, Of solving the problem how to get
as much corn as possible on one hill.
If a man gets only two or three ears
to hill Wilson regards it as a waste
OF productive force, because the total
number Of bushels produced is less
than 1t ought to be. He sent out to
Illinois and got Shamel, the most dis
tinguished corn breeder In the world,
to come east and take charge Of this
scheme.
These are merely a few Illustrations
of the way in which Secretary Wilson
has been playing the Little Father for
ten years His department is now one
Of the greatest In the government and
he has thousands of men under him
while his predecessors had scores or
hundreds.
Nobody can do more with Congress
than Secretary Wilson. Every year II
is announced that expenses are going
to be cut dOwn-not On the NAVY or
army, but on civil expenses, rivers and
harbors, pOstofices, agriculture and
such things. The River and Harbors
Committee swears that river and har-
Dor expenses shall not be cut down. and
the Postofice Department throws fits
But Secretary Wilson goes down to the
Agricultural Committee, meets blank
and hostile faces, and in two hearings
has them all won over to his side Not
by blarney, not by rhetoric. By lam
ming facts into them in his nasal
snarl.
There are refreshing things about
Wilson, in this age of kow-towfng to
the powers that be. He bends tbe
knee to nobody, not even to Roosevelt
He never antagonizes anybody reck-
lessly, and never surrenders his oDinion
to anybody. And In a fight he is q boIv
terror. For he fights as craftily as ne
fights boldly.
Wilson was the man back Of the
great fight on meat inspection conse-
quent upon Upton Sinclair's disclosure
Of the beef-packing horrors. He was
5ac, Of the Beveridge bill, back Of the
Presidents activities; never in the fore
ground, hardly ever heard Of. but con-
tinually and remorselessly pushing the
packers and their congressional adyo-
Gates into the background.
