WHITMAN WINS IN
A CLASSY GAME

Outwe ighed and outplayed, the
school went down to overwhelming
defeat yesterday afternoon before the
squad of Missionaries from Whitman
college by the score of 33 to 0, and
though the game was harder fought
than the score would indicate, the re
suit was never in doubt and conse
Quently lacked any degree of enthu
siasm. Whitman displayed excellent
form and gave an exhibition of what
they will be able to do when they come
in contact with some of the recognized
teams of the northwest and the work
advancing the ball was especially sig
nificant. Belt at quarter showed good
head work and easily picked out the
weak points in the line of the opposing
forces. The game, from a Whitman
standpoint was not one in which the
team endeavored to roll up a big
score but was rather an excuse Tor the
players to make use of all their plays.
The Missionary linemen show ed
better class in the game yesterday
than they have in any of the practice
games played so far this season. In
making holes in the Pendleton line
they had little trouble, and when line
plays were called the Whitman back
field men had room enough to drive
a wagon in which to break through
the Pendleton line. In getting through
and helping the runner advance the
ball the linemen did some effective
work
Whitman suffered from two or
three bad fumbles, but these were
mainly accidents which could hardly
have been helped. The high school
was fortunate in securing the ball on
fumb'es, but they were not able to
hold the ball more than two or three
downs, usually punting on first down.
The scoring of the Missionaries was
done by securing five touchdowns and

In the years that he has been with

of recent years provided that he was
not to pitch Sunday games. This he
insisted on, because most exhibition
games are played on Sunday. and the
club, therefore, can not call on him
for exhibition games except in the

CHRISTY MATTHEW'S
MAY QUIT BASEBALL

NEW YORK, Oct. Slow would it
seem to have the Giants perform next
season without Christy Mathewson?
This calamity is likely to be visited
upon New York sooner than expected
for Matty. the greatest pitcher of
modern times, and by many considered
the superior of all boxmen, past and
present, is going to retire from base
ball at the end of this season.
Blk Six" is not using this DECLARE
ton as lever to boost his salary for
remaining with the Giants, as he
never has to haggle over his baseball
compensation. 1t is merely his deci-,
sion to close with an opportunity to
go into business and make far more
money than he can i baseball
People thought Mike Donlan was
bluffing, but he wasn't; and as Matty
is fellow who seldom leaps before
he takes a look it looks like curtains
for him this fall and the passing of a
great athlete into the marts of trade
Matty accidentally dropped, this
informatio and when pressed for par
ticulars, admitted that his career in
baseball is drawing to a close For
two years he and a former college
railroad concern, have bee workig on
manufacturing project and both are
about ready to strike out for them
selves. Matty will invest quite a sum
as he has laid by and icreased the saw
ings of years of big salaries.
He says this is the right time to
take a chance, and if the enterprise
does not pa out as he anticipates he
can return to baseball.
The business which will claim Mat
tvs time and money is the production
of creosote railroad ties, and he and
his partner expect to operate plant
in Nova Scotia, where the ties will be
subjected to the creOsOte process. and
already they are in on the ground
floor on lumber of big railroad con-
tracts in Canada. These ties are big
savings in railroads ad ca be manu-
featured cheaply enough to insure a
big profit if the business can be To-
Gated near big lumber tracts and con-
tracts can be executed. Matty's part
ner has the experience and the capital
is assured Both Matty and his part
ner are practical fOresters, and both
expect to give their entire attention
to the business.

Owners Hope to Avoid 1t.

The New York baseball club will go
a long way to avoid the loss of SO val
liable an asset as the great pitcher,
who has drawn thousadS of dollars
to the gate in New York and other
cities. Matty insists that this is not a
mater of salary, and he will not al
low sentiment to stand in the way.
He has never kicked up a fuss over
salary and he has never made habit
of disclosing his had until he was
ready to play it, SO now he is ready
to go ahead in his new venture.
Big Six is not oily good pitcher
but he has a long head. Outside Of
baseball he is a shrewd fellow with an
aptitude for figures excellent judg-'
met and a readiness to take a chance.
In the years that he has been with
the Giants he has judiciously invested
his money ad can write his check for
$4,000 if not more Furthermore. he is
one who is confident of his ability to
run this amount up may times that
amount

The Complementary Brain Storm.

Two wrongs make a right
The other day young employe in
the local Office of big manufacturing
concern called up the companys fac
tory at Pittsburg to place a hurry
order that had to be filled that day or
never. Somehow when he was tele-
phoning the order he had a brain
storm and gave the name of the wrong
customer Several hours later he re-
membered giving the wrong name, and
realized that the goods were then
travelling in the wrong direction, and
that it was probably too late to get a
similar shipment to the right customer
in time. He got into communication
with Pittsburg again, and learned that
the girl at the other end who took his
order had also suffered a brain storm
and put down a different name from
the one he had told her 1t just hap
pened that the name she wrote down
was the right one.

q book he liked, and the acting was
good Suddenly he was jerked back
from stageland to reality by something
light falling into his lap. Looking
down impatiently, he found it to be
a programme. In one corner he could
barely make out several pencil char
acters.
"Will you marry me?" was what
Pemberton read.
For some time they looked at each
other-Pemberton and the girl-their
betwiXt their seats. Her expression
went further than mere paleness of
cheeks and distended eyes. 1t told a
story of tense, drawn nerves; and
determination wrought up to an I'M
natural pitch. A faint color crept
into Pembertons face. His look was
amazed. Slowly, almost hesitatingly,
he drew a watch from his vest pocket
and opened the back 1t contained a
Photographic laughing, vivacious
face. He studied it carefully. I'm
doubtedly it was the face of the girl
next to him.
In his surprise at discovering the
original of the photograph, he had
forgotten the programme and its
question He scribbed just below
where she had written.
please tell me who you are. Why
do you ask such a strange question:"
was what he wrote
He passed the programme and the
pencil to the girl She took them with
tense feverishness and, bending for
ward so that he could no longer catch
sight of her face, read hurriedly. He
glimpsed a faint color rising in her
cheeks. With hardly pause for thought
she wrote a reply.
Il can't tell you who l am or why
| ask you such a thing l am in
difficulty, and this is the only way
out. | can't give any explanations now.
Please don't ask me any questions;
just write yes or no."
Pemberton read the few lines twice,
and looked at the girl. She was star
ing straight ahead. He looked at the
watch, which he held on one knee;
at the photograph in the back. From
it he turned to the girl. She was still
staring ahead. With a quick, decided
movement, he Strengthened his shoul-
ders and wrote one word on the
program, making it heavy and dis
tinct.
Yes" was what the girl read.
After staring for several moments
at the program, she turned quick
glance at Pemberton. 1t was fright
ened, appealing; and reminded him of
white kitten that mewed up tc him
one day as he was hurrying along a
crowded street
Resting the program in her lap, the
girl wrote feverishly: please keep
this in mind; 1 can't speak to you
until after the marriage"
She handed the program to Penn
! berton, and rose, he following her ex-
ample, and they made their way to
the lobby.
The girls manner had totally
changed. The forced determination
that had animated her was entirely
gone, and by her helpless, appealing
look she left everything to Pember-
ton. He promptly took matters into
his own hands.
I'VE must go to the registrar first,
of course" he said, "and we can be
er-that is have the ceremony per-
formed there"
The girl nodded her head.
I'll call a cab"
In few minutes a grim, dingy
building hove in sight 1t was the
courthouse Pemberton tossed the
driver dollar, and they mounted the
long fight of stone steps.
