Navy Thinks Value All Righ...

Lieut.. Commander Joseph NJ. Reeves.
United States Navy, head coach of the
Naval Academy team, said that he
thought that goal from the field was
now given its proper weight under the
rules and that ne did not favor assign
ing il a lower value. He called attention
10 the fact that the score obtained from
a tOuC Edown, even though the goal was
not kicked. was greater than that secured
from Il goal from the field. and that con-
sequertly there could be no valid reason
for lesSen.ng It's value. He said that lie
considered the field goal very interest
ing and valuable play. that it required
the combined efforts of the members of
the team to get the BAN within striking
distance and then TO protect the kicker
as We'll as the individual skill of the
kicker. He opposed a reduction of the
value assigned to the field goal because
the play would hardly be attempted if
two of them counted only as much as q
touchdown and resulting goal.

that tn I, at was difficult and sometimes

enable it to make two goals, and thus
defeat a much stronger team that h&d
earned q welI-fought touchdown.
Coach Toriey seemed of the opinion that
q goal from placement after a fine catch
certainly was too highly valued when
tine rules place the premium at four points

eff a goIi from a free catch counted

II would remedy this matter. But as &c
q field goal kicked from scrimmage, that's
a different matter. and requires more

It's a feat that requires no little skill

Capt. Folwell. while agreeing with

WANTS ANOTHER PENNAN1
Chance Already Planning for
Next Years Race.

CHICAGO. October 23.-Having won the
worlds championship, Frank Chance is
already at work planning new ambitions.
He Is ambitious now to win the National
League pennant third time and thus
equal the record of Pittsburg. He real
lies that this will be no easy thing to do
He has great fear Of Pittsburg and a
profound respect for the rejuvenated Phil
adelphia team under Billy Murray
"Pittsburg." says Chance, was very
little behind us this year in playing
strength. and next year the Pirates will
be dangerous every minute. 1 hope to
beat them. but it will be no easy task
Chance is already figuring on a few
trades to strengthen the Cubs and reach
ing out for new youngsters to fall back
on in case any of the veterans fall down.
Satisfied With Pitchers.
His pitching staff he is sc.sfied with,
and expects that next season Blaine Dur
bin will take his turn in the box with the
big boys. Chance figures the Cub pitch
ers will be stronger next year than this,
as Pffster. who was almost worthless this
season. is certain to be in condition next
season, and Overall may be expected to
snow Improvement. This with Brown be-
ing able to pitch the entire season, as he
was not this year. will give the Cubs the
best pitching staff in the country.
Chance thinks Zimmerman. his new in
field recruit. who played one game in the
worlds series. will prove to be a second
EVers and will be a crackajack third
sacker if Steinfeldt begins to give out, as
is likely any time.
Chance has been largely overlooked In
past years as a manager. His playing
was praised but there was little said of
his ability as a manager. Now all the
critics are getting wise to the fact that he
is a great base ball general. He Is quiet
and not an advertiser. and he isn't spec
tacular like Jennings He is more on the
order of Fielder Innoc

GOVERNOR MEAD SENDS A WARNING

The following letter has been
sent by Gov. Mead to every mayor
in the state and is self explanatory
Dear Sir--I desire to bring your
attention to the bubonic plague sit
uation. which is of the utmost i'm
portance. The plague is known to
exist in one city on Puget Sound
and almost every other city and
town on the coast has direct com
munication with that city.
while the authorities are doinfi
everything possible to eradicate the
plague in Seattle, it is practically
impossible to prevent its spread
unless every board of health CO.
operates in making the invasion OF
the disease impossible. l urge upon
you the great necessity of observing
the suggestion of the United States
marine hospital service and of rep
resentativeS of the state board of
health. and recommend that imme-
diate steps be taken to clean up
your community"
Health Officer Grieve has taken
the same position with regards to
rats as has the governor and for
several weeks the health boards
has taken what precautions it
could Until Prof. Elton Fulmer,
of the Washington State college, re-
plies to the request for a poison
Gus virus with which to inoculate
rats So they will breed disease
among the other rodents and kill
them off, a bounty of 10 cents will
be offered for all rats of whatso-
ever species.

MEN CLAIM they
ARE NOT "HOGS"

The Nemow Enakops, the wom-
ans auxiliary of the EnakOps club,
at their regular meeting yesterday
took occasion to hand the male pOr-
ton of Spokane's population hot
roast, alleging that they were
''streetcar hogs" in the very worst
sense. Men of the city take excep-
ton to being so characterized and
several have expressed their views
on the matter to The Press. Said
one man this morning:
at is my belief that the women
Of Spokane get fully as good treat
ment on the streetcars as they are
entitled to. | personally saw one
of the most prominent members of
this same club lead a rush on a
Hillyard car the other day at Post
and Riverside that would have done
credit to a fullback on football
team.
Again, when a man does take
the trouble to give his seat to a
lady it is seldom that she con-
descends to thank him for it. Just
the other day | sa wa well dressed
woman create a disturbance on a
crowded streetcar because she was
asked to hold her small child on
her lap so that a tired looking
working woman, loaded down with
parcels, could have seat. In
fact she absolutely refused to do
so and her husband, who was with
her, finally gave up his seat. Does
that show that the men of Spokane
are 'hogs'?"

80 POUND
OCTOPUS

TACOMA, Nov. 15.-What is be.
lieved to be the biggest octopus
ever pulled out of the Sound near
Tacoma was caught yesterday aft
ernoon by j. o. Ware, who was
fishing just below the bonded ware
house dock. The big devil-fish
measures Is feet from the tip of
one tentacle to the other. The
suckers" are as large as man s
fist. 1t weighs 30 pounds.
Ware caught the octopus on a
large sized hook, such as are used
in fishing for Goldfish. 1t put up a
terrible fight, but the hook held
fast and the fish was landed after a
15-minute tussel. 1t is an ugly
looking thing, neither sh nor ami
NAL, and apparently is capable of
doing everything Victor Hugo tells
of the species in "Ninety-three.
