tomorrow afternoon on the ball
,,..,x at the fair grounds the Philadel-

ill cross bats for one of the best
aanes of baseball ever played in
valla Walla. and thousands of en-
thusjastic fans from all sections of the
Inland Empire are preparing to put
,side business cares to see the profess
siorals in action. The two teams will
arrive tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock,
and the game will be called in the
.fternoon at o'clock.
The teams are touring the west,
Having games in all of the more i'm
poYtant cities, and the games played
50 far have shown that the two aggre-
cations are exceptionally well matched.
Iocal fans have read Of the efficiency

drawing crowd.
The game itself, from a spectators
point of view was rather slow. due en-
tirely to the amount of penalizing
which was inflicted on both teams and
to the great amount of time which was
taken out by players on both sides. In
pure knowledge and execution of mod
ern football the Missionaries had it
hands down over Idaho The Whitman
team played with more smoothness
than they had exhibited at any time
prior to the game. The back field was
fast and hit the Idaho line hard. The
open playing and forward passes Of
the Missionaries, together with the
phenomenal kicking of the latter SEEM
ed to completely demoralize the Idaho
men. Whitman's linemen played the
game Of their lives, by fierce aggres
sive charging the Whitman line men
were easily superior to their mitch
heavier opponents, time and time again
the Whitman linemen would smash
through the Idaho line and stop the
latter's plays behind their own scrim-
mage line.
Idaho's men are all big and fast but
they seem to lack the inner knowledge
of football and did not exhibit in the
Whitman game at least any great
amount Of fighting spirit
Friday of this week the Whitman
varsity will meet the husky bunch
from Oregon Agricultural college on
Ankeny field. The Oregon team is this
year coached by Sol Metzger, who was
last year head coach at the University
of Pennsylvania. 1t can be depend
ed upon that he will have heavy, fast
team and will get into the Whitman
team with the determination of winn-
ing. Whitman realizes the Importance
of this game and will try equally hard
to land another scalp to their belt.

based on Chapter So Of the laws OF
1909, which specifically repeats the Ag-
new Hart law. This sets at naught
the contention of the defendants that
the Agnew-Hart law was enacted un-
constitutionall%.
The racing interests, represented by
John b. Stanchfield, had indicated
their intention of attacking the indict-
ments on the ground of the unconsu-
tutionallity of the anti-bettinS law,
hiding that Governor Hughes acted
illegally in calling a special election
at which senator was elected who
cast tie deciding vote for the law.
Mr.. Stanchfield proposes to submit
a 3OO-page brief in support of this
contention He had moved for an ad-
legal business and was explaining the
Importance Of the matter and the fact
that it was the first time that the
Agnew- Hart law had actually been at
tackled when Nr. Clarke requested per
mission to interrupt him for mo-
ment The district attorney then set
forth that the Agnew- Hart law had
been repealed in the recent codification
of the penal laws; that therefore it
could not be attacked; that the same
law. however had been repassed and
embodied on the penal laws of 1909,
and if anything We're attacked it was
up to his learned opponent to attack
the penal laws.

WHITMAN WON
in EASY WALK

Tired and bruised. but happy, men,
bers of the Whitman college football
team which defeated the University
of Idaho, to the score of 80 to last
Saturday, returned to the city yes
terday on the O. R. & y. train being
met at the station by practically the
entire student body which gave the play
ers hearty reception. After greetings
were over, the squad was loaded into
cabs which had been procured by the
students and they were driven to their
quarters. The drubbing given the
Muscovites was the worst that institu-
ton has ever received in college his
tory and both players and coacn feel
highly elated over the splendid victory.
According to the reports which the
Whitman men brought back with them,
the Whitman-Idaho game caused con-
siderable interest among the followers
of Northwest football. Coach KEN
holtz together with his entire football
squad and about 500 rooters came over
from Pullman to see the game, and
did some great yelling for Whitman
Assistant-coac, Cuttings of the Uni
versity of Washington was present at
the game to get a line on both the
Whitman and the Idaho style OF play
ing as Washington is scheduled to meet
both of these institutions later in the
season. Coach Metzger of the Oregon
Agricultural college had one of his
varsity ends at the game getting a line
on Whitman as the Oregon institution
meets the Missionaries in Walla Walla
Friday.
The Whitman Idaho game was wit
messed by one of the largest crowds
ever gathered in Moscow for an sth-
letic contest The fact that one of the
two contesting teams would be elm
mated for the Northwest champion

I In action, and a record breaking crowd
is expected at tomorrow's contest.
With the two teams are many or
the star men Of the diamond who have
figured prominently in the race of the
1909 season for the pennants of the
major leagues. and the Philadelphia
team, which gave the Detroit aggrega-
ton such a close rub for the cham
pionship of the American league, is
almost Identical with the lineup
earlier in the season.
The only regular missing from the
lineup Of the Philadelphia Athletics
are Jack Barry, shortstop, and one
of the outfielders, and their places are
taken by better men. Mcbride, the
sensational shOrtstop Of the Washing
ton team, is a better ball-player, than
Barry. and he is playing short for the
Athletics on this trip. Strunk an QUIZ
fielder who belongs to the Athletics,
but who was farmed out to Milwaukee
last year, is said to be another Ty Cobb
for speed, and he more than fills the
place Of Topsy Hartzel or Danny Muir
ply, who were used in the outfield
last season by the Athletics. Harry
Davis, the veteran first baseman and
captain of the Athletics, is making
the trip; so are Eddie Collins, the SEN
Sational young second baSeman ana
race for batting honors this year; Ba-
ker, the third baseman, and Oldring
and Heitmulier, outfielders. Thomas is
a regular catcher on the Athletics, and
Pat Donohue of the Bostons is helping
out Bender, the Indian, and Plank
the steady left-hander, the mainstays
of the Athletics in the box, are COM
ing, and so are Jack Coombs and Nor
gan, both regular pitchers on the club.
Walla Walla fans will watch Heitmul-
Ter with a good deal of interest to see
just how much he has improved since
he used to play in the west.
On the AN-Star team are Ed Ko-
netohy, of St Louis. young Pole
