The Highlanders didn't slip IN on a

Sox.
The national commission has adopted
an amendment in amplification of the

players released with TRANSPORTATION TO

league clubs must reimburse the majors

SPORTING COMMENT.
BY J. ED GRILLo.

IL seems decidedly absurd to refer to a
team made up as is the one which yes
terday won the title of amateur cham
pion of the District, as an amateur ag-
gregation. when at least eight of the nine
players are professional ball players in
every sense of the word.
Amateur base ball should be encour-
aged. for il is really the life of the game,
but there should be strong dividing
line between amateurs and profession
ais. especially when there is something
struggle-the honor of playing against
the teams of New York and Philadel-
phia.
II was naturally supposed that when
Of q commission il would be swept
clean OF professionalism. In fact, the
ir'pfC~<tUu ; current that this was to be
tae principal object Of the commission,
and yet team made up entirely of pro-
fessional ball players Is declared the
amateur champion OF the District of Co.
lumbia.
This team will compete against what
are believed to be legitimate amateur
teams of New York and Philadelphia in
the intercity series. which begins tomor-
row. Washingtons reputation as a city
OF fair sportsmen is at stake. and it's
reputation will not be helped by sending
professional ball team to compete with
amateurs under the guise of being an
amateur team.
What calamity il would be should Ty
Cobb be driven out of base ball because
Of the loss of his sight The game
would, indeed, lose its greatest attrac-
ton should misfortune come to the
Georgia Peach" Base ball has had its
idols from the first days that IL began TO
create history. II would be impossible to
expect otherwise. when one stops TO
think that the real attraction in the
Sdme-except for the enjoyment which a
man finds in playing il himself-comes
from the most display of skill on the
part of another.
All men cannot bat as well as others
Al men are nos as fleet as Others nor
are all men as dexterous in handling
batted and thrown balls.
Cobb Is unquestionabiy the greatest OF
stars. His energy and wonderful stamina
for he IL the same in every game
make the games in which he takes part
more attractive than the average bail
game.
Wonderfully fleet OF foot and elusive on
the bases, ne Is one OF the best base run
ners In the history of the sport With a
Keen eye and a steady hand he is one Of
TIE best bsttsrs who ever stood at the
plate. He was not always so strong al
the bat as he has been i'm recent years
lie practiced faithfully and by his pa
tent efforts improved his acquaintance
with different methods Of pitching so
that some OF his earlier faults were over
come
Sure and accurate in catching fy hits.

PHILADELPHIA, September 9.-What
hope Pennsylvania had of carrying off
either the singles or doubles in the in
tercollegiate tennis championship, now in
progress at the Merton Cricket Club.
Haverford, was dispelled yesterday when
all the representatives of the university
met with defeat. Not i'm many years has
the Red and Blue figured less conspicu-
ously in the tournament.
In the singles Pennsylvania had only
one representative left in over night.
This was H. Evans, who defeated ]. NJ.

round. Yesterday Evans met $. Raleigh
of Princeton in the second round In the
morning and suffered defeat by three
sets to one.

This little fellow WARRIOR does not look
to be able to face a lot of husky batsmen
and yet he is one of the most trouble
some pitchers in the American League.
That underhand, jerky delivery, which
sends the ball to the plate with much
more speed than the batter expects Is
responsible for his effectiveness. When
WARRIOR is at his best. as he was yes

Representative w. H. Brooke. of
Ontario, prominently mentioned as
candidate for speaker of the house at
the next session of the legislature
spent last night in Pendleton in con-
ference with Umatilla members of the
legislature and prominent local poll
ticians. He stopped off here last eve
ming on his way home from Portland
where he had been to get his hand
on the political pulse of Multnomah
county and western Oregon.
Representative Brooke admitted
this morning that he was willing to
accept the honor but declined to an
nounce his candidacy. He said there
was no doubt in his mind that the
honor could be landed for eastern
Oregon if the members OF the lower
house from this part of the state would
only unite on one man.
He said that at the present time,
himself, Joint Representative Mahoney
of Heppner, and Representative Hen
ry Mckinney of Baker county were
the only names that had been men,
toned from this part of the state
though he understood that there were
others who were looking with long
ing eyes upon the speakers chair.
IF l decide to enter the race and
ii the others all do so, why of course
none of us will get it," said the On
tario representative.
Brooke expressed a willingness to
get together with the other eastern
oregon candidates and then work for
the man who could make the strong
est showing. He said he would rather
have the honor at the coming session
than at some other for the reason that
he did not expect to have much leg
islation on hand in which he was per-
sonally interested.
Brooke is a member of the law firm
of Brooke e Tomlinson of Ontario
and this will be his second term in
the legislature. During his, first term
he was the author of the Brooke Bean
bill which was regarded as an attempt
to annul Statement No. 1. He was
therefore classed as an anti-statement
No. man, but despite that handicap
he won out in the recent election by
majority of 235 over his opponent.
In speaking of the Brooke-Bean bill
the author insisted this morning that
the Statement No. l should have had
nothing to fear from it. He explain
ed that it simply aimed to prohibit
any candidate signing any statement
or making any pledge which was con-
trary to the constitution of the state
and that If the adherents of State
ment No. l did not wish to violate the
constitution they had nothing to fear
from the bill.
Brook left on the delayed No. s
for his home in Ontario.

sundays program as follows:
"Liz's Career" Lubin. drama. A
novel conception we'll carried out. To
have a country girl appear on the
stage at an amateur night and be so
exquisitely bad that she seems really
good is a conceit that makes a good
picture. Anyhow, Liz fools them for
two months and is all the rage. Liz
pays off the mortgage on the home
without having to marry the elderly
deacon.
"Werther" Pathe, American dra-
ma. A love tragedy adapted from
Goethe's we'll known work. This pic
ture, though a tragedy, is most beau
tifully and perfectly acted and will
surely be appreciated by the higher
class of audience.
MAX in the Alps" Comedy, 500
feet. This is a delicious mirth pro-
voker, and we guarantee the hardest
stole on the face of the globe will
have a broad grin after gazing at this
picture.
