apple pie that put Egan out of
the running. Shortly after going
south with this American delicacy
he was seized with the attack
which caused his breakdown.
Egan's condition does not de-
tract from the performance of
the winner, for Gardner's play
was simply phenomenal, and 1T is
doubtful If Egan could have de-
feated him had he been at his
best.
Gardner outdrove Egan on
nearly every hole, after the first
round; his iron shots were clean
er and as rule were placed be-
ter, and he had Egan fighting for
his life on the greens. Gardner
holed three long puts, one being
at least forty feet, and he had
veterans like Walter Travis gaz-
ing at him open mouthed.

Diagram Strike cue ball
one-half above center, object ball
three-quarters right; strength of
stroke, ordinary to hard. The cue
ball, taking the follow and chang
ing its direction by con act, re-
bounds slightly and its effort to
regain its natural course-that of
the follow-describes convex
curve and effects the carom.
No. 2.-The concave curve.
Strike cue ball one-half below
center and object ball three-quar-
tiers right; stroke, ordinary to

given by the draw, overcomes the
impelling power after contact with
object ball, and causes the curve
to the carom ball.
No. 3.-Straight line carom.
Strike cue ball center and object
ball three-quarters right; strength
of stroke ordinary. Being struck
in center, the cue ball has neither
rotary motion forward nor back,
but slides a certain distance, when
the natural condition of a moving
sphere overcomes the propelling
power and it takes rolling move
ment.

After throwing the game away
to Portland yesterday in the first
inning, the Tigers switched pitch
ers in the third and, with Eddie
Geehan, the local boy, in the box,
started on an uphill pull for VIC
tory. They were making good
Roadway when the ninth inning
shut off further chance and the
Colts evened up on the series.
Hall started in the box for Ia
coma. He passed the first man
up, which is always pretty sure
sign of defeat for any pitcher.
The next two went out and then
Coleman went wrong. Broadbent
followed suit with another error.
With this sort of thing to en-
courage them, the Colts began ID
rap the ball and, before they got
quiet, they had FIVE runs on the
board. They added one in the
third and another in the fourth
and there they stuck. Tacoma did
not start until the sixth. They

HEAD COACH JONES

Wouldn't it be pleasant to run
up against this husky some dark
night If he was hungry and in
clined to be rough? Fine chance
an ordinary mortal would have
trying to rough house him.
This gentle looking mostodon is
one Howard Jones. head coach of
the Yale football eleven. In 1907
Jones played right en- don the Eli
varsity and took his medicine like
a little man whenever the coaches
got a bunch to give him a Cruel
ing.
And now it's his turn to drill
candidates. AS the man behind
the men behind the line it is up
to Jones to whip a championship
eleven into shape and get back the
scalp lifted by Harvard last fall.
The outlook at New Haven is par
ticularly bright, and the chances
of beating the crimson appear
bright to the followers of the blue.

THESE WOMEN AMAZE HIM


Contest Editor Times: l have
read with amazement, not to say
amusement, some of the letters
from women whose husbands are
receiving from SIS to SIS a week,
and to add spice to this symposi-
UNI, I want to voice the protest of
the man who is compelled to ac-
cept such a wage but who is suf-
ficiently civilized to want to live
In decent home and who desires
something more than a cracker
and milk diet.
Life must be one rosy dream to
the couple who at the end of a
year have saved from $1.25 to
80. And yet one of your CORE
.spondents makes this cheerful
statement.
In the first place, economy is a
matter of taste. A Hindoo may
live on 20 cents a day and be
reasonably happy, but to a healthy
mind his lot is comparable to
that of the prehistoric cave man.
And the healthy mind is right in
so viewing such a life. Had the
editor asked Can a couple exist
on SIS a week" one might answer
in the affirmative.
But living on the outskirts of
town in a $3.50 per month, two
room house, with the slender bill
of fare mentioned by several, is
not living-it is existing"
Again, on such a salary, no pro-
vision is made for vacations, and
the narrow margin between the
salary and actual want is wiped
out by slight spell of sickness.
Recreation is necessary in the
nerve-racking struggle for exist
ence that characterizes this age.
AT least civilized people so regard
it. And doctor bills must be paid
or you repudiate an honest debt.
The cost of living has tended
steadily upward for the last Is
years.
What was possible in 1895 is
manifestly impossible today.
There are thousands of honest,
wholesome-minded young fellows
who instinctively rebel at the
idea of asking a girl to share the
lot of an SIS per week man, be-
cause these same young fellows
know that it means the giving up
or all those little pleasures that
really make life worth while.
A man is not an animal The
healthy-minded, normal individual
wants some mental pleasures:
good books and an occasional visit
to the opera.
1t is certainly within reason to
crafty such natural desires when
possible, but the SIS and S1S a
week man must practically give
them up and be contented to
lust live" as did his brother of
the stone age.
The mind is the measure of a
man Tor woman, and the mere
filling of ones stomach three
times day and sleeping in a real
bed at night cannot and should
not supplant the mental require
ments and social cravings of the
real man or woman.
In great city where rents are
abnormal and foodstuffs bring thel
highest price, SIS per week
means-well, ask the housekeep-
ers Of Tacoma.

What a Happy World II
All Men Could Get $fS!
Contest Editor: If all the la
boring class could only get $18
a week, what happy nation this
would be! AS 1t is, about half of
the men get from SO to $12 a
week, and I dare say are glad to
even get that much.
There are many wives and
mothers striving every way they
can to save something besides
living and to clothe their little
ones for the winter out of such a
pittance.
We have been in your city only
short time, but think 1t a beau
tiful place to live, and / trust my
husband will be fortunate enough
to get SIS a week soon, but as
he is only getting $12 at present
l am very contented with that,
and am quite able to save nearly
half of his salary besides being
very comfortable at the same
time. MRS. /. M. A,

We find 1t very comfortable and

Depends on Mode of LIVING

Contest Editor: Can a connie
i've on SIS week in Tacoma.
Why, most of us are living with
les. My husband gets SIS a week
we have two children, and we
pay $15 house rent, still we live
comfortably. OF course, I save a
good deal doing all my sewing. I
pay cash for everything, because |
think 1t bad to let bills run be-
mind. l have known a couple to
raise six children on $12 a week.
while l have known another cou-
pie without children that could
not make both ends meet on 500
a week. There are many ways of
living, and my idea is IL a couple
takes a mode of living according
to their wages they can live very
well with from $12 to s18 a
week In Tacoma. MRS. w.

In the eighth Tacoma had an

Dun's Weekly Review

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.--R G. Dun & Co.'s
weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
Seasonable quiet is reported in wholesale
and jobbing trade, travelling statesmen pre-
pairing to start out next week.
Confidence in good spring business is gen
eral as a result of inventories thus far avail
able indicating that reports of depleted
stocks not exaggerated. Conservative
buying during the past year has made the
statistical position very strong among deal
while curtailed manufacturing operation
prevented accumulation at the mills
Current distribution of staples is open,
but weather retards sales of heavyweight
wearing apparel The same influence oper-
ates on the other hand to facilitate outdoor
work and estimating rooms are busy on
plans for future construction. After some
overhauling and repairs. the leading indus
trial plants will resume next week with
larger forces than at any time during 1908.
A quiet closing of the year was expected in
the markets for iron and steel, but an i'm
proved demand anticipated early in
January.
Mills are now in condition to produce
freely, having made necessary repairs and
increased the number of hands The chief
progress in iron inquiry is for basic and in
small lots, but the furnaces have substantial
contracts hand against which meters
specify freely.
Few buyers are in the primary markets
for textile fabrics stock taking and the
holiday combining to make the past week
the dullest of the year. Better conditions
broaden shortly, the moderate recovery IN
price of silver being an important feature
in this connection. AS to wooden goods
there is some activity in cheaper lines and
as the season advances there are more
openings Of medium and higher grades.
Hides are quiet but prices are maintained,
packers and dealers anticipating that tan
ners will soon enter the market and oper-
ate on a liberal scale.
Shoe manufacturers report steady de-
rnand for seasonable lines to be delivered
up to April and conditions are more salts
factory than at any time during the year
