NEW YORK. Sept although the

they are garrison hnishers. They have

LAST DETROIT GAME
A BASEBALL ODDITY
Uncertainty Of the Sport Illustrated by Proportions Of
Hits to independence of Club
Owners May Be Tested
By THOMAS S. RICE.

Washington ten hits and one rum De
troit ten hits and eight runs. It's a
great game. this baseball. and the man
who tries TO dope II out In advance is
the kind who will tell you who dis-
covered the North Pole when he does
not have the data in his possession.
There was much angry protest around
town that Washington did not get more
runs from its liberal sprinkling Of hits
or Bill Donovan. who was not a terror
by any means, bat 1t was just one OF
those cases where things break wrong
every time you try to accomplish an
object \ similar role WIS played by
Detroit against Walker on wednesday.
In the sixth inning "Wednesday Detroit
got two clean doubles, a sacrifice, and a
force. yet no run crossed the plate.
That day Detroit made Ave hits In the
fourth inning for a paltry pair OF
tallies. Again or Wedn esday. IN the
first inning Washington made one OF its
lonely three hits-a triple-and scored
three runs. In the third inning yester-
day. the luck swinging the other way,
Washington got three hits-a double and
two outfeld singles-and scored Just
once. Would that not drive you 20 dis
traction? Verify. It would. Whether
McAleer could have made those ten hits
yesterday count for more runs is a
question to be answered by the strength
of his rabbits foot.

NEW YORK. Sept 4-with two
weeks OF the baseball season left to
play. Pittsburg apparently has the pen
nant won in the National League, while
the American League winner is still
an open question. The residue Of the
latter discussion lies between Detroit
and Philadelphia, with the Tigers a
shade in the lead.

II the Pirates should lose all the rest
of their games and the Cubs lost only

Chicago had little chance OF wearing
the 1909 pennant on its hagpole.
At the gait that Pittsburg is going
now-and they show no signs OF slack
ing their speed-in few days they'll be
in the position that they can lose. Then
it'll be rest up for the worlds series.
Now that one team in the big post
season dispute is practically sure to be

be their opponents?
Who Is the 0ther2
The race in the American League,
however, Is a horse Of another pig

by a scant two ana one-half games.

RICH ORE FOUND
IN CURRY COUNTY


Reports of a rich discovery of
copper ore at the mouth of the
Rogue river in Curry county were
brought to Portland Christmas Day
by Isaac A. Muncy, a member of the
legislature of that county. The new
strike carries a large percentage of
native copper and is said to run
high in gold, silver, platinum and
iridium. A specimen sample from
the groupings on the ledge, upon
which only the location work has
been performed, runs $150,0O0 to
the ton.
The strike is located between
eight and nine miles from the
mouth of the river and is in the vi
cinity of the Mckinley mine, which
has been operating for some IL
years.

Gray squirrels of the middle west
variety are to be promulgated in the
region of Hilgard Union county, ac-
cording to a decision of j. d. Nc
Kennon, who returned from Mis-
souri, some time since, bringing with
him several pairs of gray squirrels
such as are we'll known in that Sec
ton of the United States and which
are unknown to squirrel haunts in
Eastern Oregon. The most similar
squirred here is the pine species.
McKennon will populate his Hill
gard ranch with the squirrels and in
time, if the experiment proves what
is planned for it, the gray squirrel
will come to have habitate in the
Blue Mountains. Anyone who has
hunted gray squirrels in the middle
west will be anxious to have the To-

The Christmas Dinner.

In spite of the fact that the word
dyspepsia means literally bad cook,
1t will not be fair for many to lay
the blame on the cook If they begin
the Christmas dinner with little ap-
petite and end it with distress or
nausea. 1t may not be fair for any
to do that-let us hope so for the
sake Of the cook! The disease dys-
pepsia indicates a bad stomach, that
is a weak stomach, rather than a
bad cook, and for a weak stomach
there is nothing else equal TO Hoods
Sarsaparilla. 1t gives the stomach
vigor and tone, cures dyspepsia,
creates appetite. and makes eating
the pleasure 1t should be.
