IT'S MYSTERY, BUT
THE INDIANS LOST

1t was wild, wierd game that
the Indians lost to the Turks yes
terday afternoon, at Seattle, and
when it was all over the crowd was
still wondering what had happened
Bonner was on the firing line for
the Siwashes and was working in
his best form, while Seattle de-
pended upon Dickinson, kid
pitcher picked up for an end of the
season tryout. Behind the bat for
the Turks was another kid, young
Duncan, who has been doing sand
lot stunts around the sound city,
and the way that kid battery
worked was a caution.
First it was a straight ball and
then curve, the only variation be-
ing that sometimes 1t was two
straight balls and two curves. De-
spite the fact that the work of the
kids was an open secret, however,
the redskins swung wildly at the
.drves and let the straight ones go
by, allowing Dickinson to make a
record of eight strikeOuts, as
against Bonner's six. The kid also
allowed seven bases on balls.
In spite of all this, however, the
Indians only managed to put four
men over the home plate. They
had men on dhe sacks in nearly
every inning, b(lt it seemed that as
soon as the blgs were populated

promptly fired Hogan from the
field. Hogan took his pet fox ter
rier, and, with the dog turning
handsprings, calmly sauntered from
the diamond. Several minutes later
he was discovered on the roof of
the club house, where he directed
remarks at the indicator man.
With the aid of a policeman Ho-
gan was escorted from the field to
the street and warned to stay
there. Hogan then climbed tele-
graph pole, that was higher than
the fence and from that point of
vantage conversed pleasantly with
the umpire during the rest of the
game. AS the Jump" had no juris-
diction over the telegraph pole he
had to listen to Hogan's remarks.
And the crowd simply howled.
That's Wallace Bray, commonly
called Happy" Hogan of the Coast
league ball team, catcher, humorist
and at all times corking good ball
player who knows the game from
beginning to end.

NEW YORK, Sept. 20.-That rae

established on it's old footing, with
oral betting, was the declaration to-
day of President Williams of the
California Jockey club.
THE oral system of betting has
proved a success" said Williams,
racing at Emeryville this year,
with the oral system, will be car
ried on as 1t was before the anti
betting law was put into effect.
Last season was more of an expert.
ment than anything else, and the
test proved entirely satisfactory.
This year will mark a return Of
the old stakes and the old purses
Besides the classics that have been
run year after year. there have
been some new ones promised, and

Bad for
AU-Coast Idea

Looks as though that talk of an
all coast league was to come to
naught. President Dugdale of the
Seattle team has returned home
from his trip to San Francisco,
where he was in conference with
the magnates of the Coast league,
and talked over the expansion idea.
Dug says that there is nothing
doing with the all coast league at
the present time, and he doesn't
seem to think there is much chance
of anything new developing this
season. A meeting between a COM
mittee from the Coast league and
one from the Northwestern will be
held in Portland the first week in
October to discuss plans and posi-
bilities, but Dugdale prognosticates
that hte results will be nil.

Eastern Squads
Are Very Weak

Reports from the big eastern
football teams are rather disccour-
aging so far. At Harvard the squad
turning out for practice consists
of practically new men, hardly any
of the old stars being out. At Yale,
but Is men are showing up for
practice. At Cornell SO men are
trying out, but they are nearly all
new, and Coast Stage of the Uni
versity of Chicago openly declares
himself discouraged at the showing
his team is making so far. Western
teams seem destined to carry the
pigskin honors this season.

CROP DAMAGE GREATLY
EXAGGERATED, HE THINKS
Former Comptroller Hepburn
Talks 0ptimiStiCaIIy After
a Trip Through West
(Ey Associated Pressl

NEW YORK. July ga. Barton Hep
burn, former comptroller of the currency,
who is Just back in New York from an
extended western trip. expressed the be-
lief on his arrival here that the reports
which have been circulated in Wall
street Of crop damage and business stag
nation in the west are grossly exag-
gerated. He found the general business
situation good. asserting that the only
thing which married his optimism was
the evidence everywhere presented OF
wild extravaganza in domestic economy.
Mr.. Hepburn summed up the situation
as he sees 1t in this wise:
However serious the crop losses may
be in certain isolated localities, the gen.
crops of the country as a whole promise
at the present time to exceed in value
any previous crops produced. There is
no occasion for pessimism.
That the business of the country as
a whole is in good condition and profit
able is evidenced by the very large vol
ume of business. 1 am very optimistic
as TO general business conditions. The
one thing that is radically wrong is the
wild extravaganza in domestic economy,
which unquestionably exists throughout
the country. This. perhaps. is most con-
spicuously evidenced by the craze for the
automobiles which are expensive to buy
and still more expensive TO maintain.
As a nation, we have been spending for
the last two years more than we earn
ed. But there is not a suggestion of cri-
sis in the situation, and Their is no rea-
son why legitimate commercial business
should be in the least disturbed"
