my original idea was to develop
the product of the American manu-

on their visit to this city, made known.

only the air was not so oppressive.
At their dinner at the Dacres they
were served Strawberries that had
been picked only a few hours before.
This was surprise number two and
called forth no little comment. When
the men appeared in uniform, to de-
part for the grounds, they wore heavy
sweater vests but one by one they
were seen to pull them off and every
man, with the exception of the pitch
ers, carried their sweater in their
arms when the grounds was reached.
They had little difficulty in warm
ing up before the game. The first
few balls thrown worked up the much
desired Precipitation. AS Doyle, the
All National second baseman wound

University of California Rugby team
defeated the Vancouver Is yesterday
"a to 3, in a far more exciting and
hotly contested game than the lop-
sided score would indicate. The
northerners were in rather poor con-
dition and their forward rank was
heavily outweighed by the collegians
Vancouver opened with a dash that
dazed the Californians for the first
plays Of the game and carried the
ball over for a try. The college men
came back gaining speed and snap
every minute, and swept the north
erners off their feet toward the close
of the game. The teams will meet
again next Saturday and the Van
cOuver men will play twice with the
Stanford varsity next week.

Whitman college will go against one
of the hardest propositions of the year
tomorrow afternoon at 2:15 o'clock
when it will play the heavy squad from
the oregon Agricultural college of Cor
Wallis. Since the game played at Mos
cow the local players have been get
ting into shape and as the result Of
strenuous practice will be able to put
up a fast exhibition of the game. First
class accommodations have been ar
ranged to handle the large crowd that
is anticipated and the bleachers have
been moved to both sides of the field
and nearer than before to the side lines
In order to make the game more
interesting to the spectators a booklet
which will contain all kinds of infor
nation concerning anything making a
noise like football around the college
has been arranged for the occasion.
An innovation is to have each
Whitman player numbered and his
name and number will be recorded
on the booklet so that by glanc-
ing at the program one can tell
any Whitman man on the field. The
players numbers will be seWed onto the
back of the suits in much the same
manner as with track athletics. This
is a new stunt which has never be-
fore been tried in the Northwest and

leader of one of the scrimmage teams
at quarterback, has led to the conclu-
sion that he will be given the regular
berth. He has run his team well and
has proved the best on the field and
delivering the forward pass. He
throws low, swift and with accuracy.

Minnesota has a very strong line this
year Up to the present time the for
wards have stopped everything sent
against them.
Hauser Plays the Game.
HauSer fullback of the Carlisle In
dams, won from Syracuse. The score
was IA to IL. In the last minute of
play Hauser kicked goal from the
field and snatched victory from what
looked like tie battle. The New York
papers say that only for the presence
OF. Hauser, Syracuse would have put it
over the Indians.
Pennsylvania is mourning the fact
that Brown University crossed their
goal line. 1t is getting so the big teams
take about as much pride in having a
string of ciphers marked up for the
second raters as in beating them. Penn
beat Brown IS to 5.
The University of Michigan faculty
will not permit the football squad to
have a training table. Somehow or
other Michigan has steadily stood in
the way of her teams success in re-
cent years. OF course, ''Hurry-up' YOst
gets the blame, but the critics should
look farther, for large share of the
trouble
Though the football season of 1909
is yet young, several features have
become prominent in the style of play
and several players have forged to the
front as candidates for highest honors.
The forward pass has run away from
the onside kick as a popular method
for advancing the ball and few coaches
are laying much stress in teaching
players to drop those fancy little place
kicks over the rush-line which brought
fame to Harlan of Princeton.
Harvard has four good backs in Cor
bett, MinOt, Smith and F nottingham.

Harvard Plays Army.

Next Saturday Harvard will meet
some idea of the relative strength of
Harvard and Yale. Owing to Yale's
decisive victory two weeks ago over
the army team, Harvard will have to
play stiff game to hold her stock at
par.
Yale will meet a good team in Am
herst, but not one that will endanger
the record of Old Eli.
The Carlisle Indians may give the
University of Pennsylvania trouble.
They showed strong against Syracuse,
especially Fullback Hauser.
Syracuse will take on the University
of Michigan, and the outcome will af-
ford material to judge how Yost is get
ting along at an institution where the
football men are not permitted the
luxury of a training table.
Chicago Versus Minnesota.
In the middle west interest will be
centered on the big game between
Minnesota and Chicago. If Chicago
wins, it will be due to wonderful i'm
prOvement in the two weeks of prac-
tice prior to the contest.
Coach Stage has figured out several
new plays which Chicago will
against Minnesota. He believes this is
the only way his team can win. THE
back field, which was supposed to be
50 weak, has shown up far better than
was expected in the early scrimmages,
and it seems probable that the offense
leaders will be able to hold their own
in the coming games. Sauer has been

plan with Crowley. the other halfback,

back is just as fast as his mate, and,

LONDON, Oct 2S.-Whitelaw Reid,
Yesterday celebrated his seventy-sec-
ond birthday and was the recipient of
MANY CONGRATULATIONS from his fell
lows of the diplomatic corps. Despite
his advanced years, the aged diDso-
mat and journalist from overseas
maintains his bodily and mental Wig
or to an extent which is remarkable.
Recent rumors of his speedy re-
tirement have been set at rest and it
is now evident that Mr.. Reid will re-
tain his post at least for this winter,
and probably for a year or more. This
decision is alleged to be largely due
to the activity of Mrs. Reid, who de-
sired to pass the winter here and
prevailed upon her husband and Pres
.ident Taft to crafty her wish. Both
Ambassador and Mrs. Reid are in high
favor with King Edward, and it is
not unlikely that his influence was
added to encompass the result.
1t is also stated on good authority
that the ambassador desired to re-
main here until former President
Roosevelt reaches England on his
way home from Africa. 1t was to
Roosevelt that the ambassador owes
his distinguished station, and he is
ea ger to have the honor of introduce
ing the mir hty nimrod to the king
and to London society. Rumor has 1t
also that the Reds are very much
smitten with London and that they
will spend a large part of each year
here after his retirement They have
dispensed princely hospitality and
L0ndoners would be indeed sorry to
see them go If the present social
status of American ambassador TO the
Court of ST. James be maintained by
Mr.. Reds successor, that gentleman
will needs be a multi-millionaire.

SOUGHT AID FROM THE GODS.
Japanese Villagers United in cursins
 Robber to Death.

This bit of local color Is from the Japan Times: At Shinokubo, asmall village in Soshu. consisting of only 70 houses. several cases of robbery have lately occurred to the great alarm of the villagers. A diligent search instituted by them for the of fender proved an utter failure. The community consequently held mass meeting and unanimously agreed upon cursing the robber to death A yir- suous priest of the locality was ac- cordingly applied to for the purpose. He, however. declined to curse the robber to death, an act too cruel for a holy man like him to resort to. but promised that he would paralyze the robber by his powerful prayers. so as to disable him and lead him to repent ance. Thus the priest commenced his incantations. But, behold. the robber continued his subtle operations 10 the indignation of the entire community. The priest has been condemned as a worthless fellow, and the villagers have taken upon themselves the task of repairing every day to the village temple by twos and threes to offer horrible prayers by which the robber is doomed to an early and fearful death"

Fortune Waiting for Man Who Can
 Perfect the Umbrella.

How rich I'd be-" said one um- brella salesman to another. "if l had patented the umbrella You might as well talk of patent on cooking" said his friend. Umbrellas appear to have existed always. Indeed. wher- ever excavations have been made-at Babylon. Nineveh. Nippur-traces of the umbrella have been found. The article is coeval with mankind. The English didn't begin to use it until l700. Shakespeare with all his genius had no umbrella to protect him from the rain. What you might do would be to patent some new sort of um- brella-some rain shield built on bet ter lines. We have proof that the umbrella has existed for 10000 years and yet in all that time it has not once been improved. To-day. as it did two or three hundred years ago. it turns inside out with a strong gust of wind and it only protects the head and shoulders from the rain. Change all that.

San Franeiseo's Rat War.

The raid on rats at this time is not the first of the kind in San Francisco. In 1852, when the sidewalks in Kearny and Montgomery streets were as un- even as the existing walks in Mar ket street east of Front. and were made up of dry goods boxes laid in the mud end to end. some high and some low. the town was overrun with rats of all colors--gray. white. brown and black At night they would crawl out of their holes and run along the uneven walks. They were so thick on the streets during the spring of the year named that women were afraid to go out after nightfall. and the men who ventured forth on the poor ly lighted streets often stepped on . dozen rodents in walking the distance q a block. It was no uncommon thing ts see men with crooked canes on the a1dewalk playing shinney, the rats be- ins used in place of knurs. In that gay many were killed.

In the imagination of every woman . creature exists whom she fancies would be unto her . god if she met him; in the imagination of every man there is . woman like nobody on earth. in heaven above, or in the waters under the earth. But no woman ever shows favor to any par ticular type of man. If woman really liked this or that specimen of mascu' line humanity above all others. should we ever see the strangely assorted marriages that we do? Individually all women have their ideals, but speak ing generally. there is no special brand of man that can be said to ap peal to woman It is sheer nonsense to. say definitely that yth!etes, or ~eourtfers- or tame cats. or dreamers are respectively most pleasing tc women.
