The way of the worlds series star
is hard and thorny path in after
years. Already Clyde Engle, the
man who won the worlds title for the
Boston Red Sox last year. has set out
upon that track over which few ball
players return. Waivers have been
asked upon him and the chances are
strong that he will be released to some
minor league team.
Engle is the man who lifted the IA
nous fly that Snodgrass muffed The
mUff IS more notorious than the fly
is famous, for the fatal fault was
what was most apparent to all who
saw. Yet, there would have been no
error had there not been a fly on
which to err. Engle was the man be-
mind the bat and, if IL was Snod-
grass miscue that lost the worlds
series to the Giants, it was no less
EuEle's Duny fly that won it for the
RED Sox.
Engle however, is rapidly slowing
up He has passed his best days as a
player and for a couple of years back
has been only a utility man, playing
generally in the infield and mostly at
first base. His main point has been
his hitting and his added weight has
cut down his value even in that de-
pertinent.
Il seems always as if some player
has TO take the penalty of winning
The worlds series and that he who has
been the decisive factor in victory has
dropped from notice soon after.
These is the notable case of George
Robe. the tOw-headed infield substi-
tute of the Chicago White Sox, an al
together inconsideTed factor, who in
1906 batted his team to a victory over
he Cubs, Owner Charley Comiskey
after this performance declared that
Robe should have a life job on his
club. Still, the next season saw Robe
fall from effectiveness and he was
released to the New Orleans club of
H." southern league, where he still
holds forth as q player of merit
Take, TOO. the case of Mordecai
Brown hero Of the Cub victory over
the TIGERS, and yet last season re-
leased to the minors when apparently
in the summit of his ability.

waited for a moment on a dizzy inse-
curity on the very crest Of the wave

The freshmen glee has been definite

evening after several schemes to have
it before spring vacation begins prov
ed to be impossible.
The freshman glee is one of the big
gest events on the years social calen-
dar. This is the time each year when
the freshmen challenge the other
classes to write school songs and pre-
sent them, the whole class giving them
at the glee. A committee judges the
quality Of the songs submitted and one
of the number is chosen and added to
the list of official school songs.
The winning class is awarded a
beautiful pennant presented by the
freshmen class and known as the
freshman glee pennant Each class
attempts to excel the former in the
quality Of pennant presented and as
usual the one to be offered this year
Is claimed to excel all former ones.
At a recent meeting of the freshmen
class large appropriation was made
for the decorations, programs, etc. The
decorating will be in the hands of Lit
tie and Russell, who have gained quite
a reputation by their work at the gov
ernors reception and other prominent
affairs and who are active members of
the freshmen class.
All the classes are actively engaged
in preparing for the glee and the many
youthful poets and composers are be-
stirring themselves for this opportun-
ity to send their name down in school
history as the author Of a famous schol
song.

YOUNG WOMAN ACTS
AS OWN ATTORNEY
Is Tackling the Oregon Electric
Single Handed, and Shows She
Is u Good SCrapper.

Chief Of Police Shedeck and ex-
Officer Gains will leave in the morn
ing for Portland, where they will tes-
tify in the case Of Miss Esther L. Pew
therer against the Oregon Electric
Company.
This is a case which originated in
Salem, but is being tried in Portland,
owing to that city being the defend
ant company's headquarters. Miss
Pewtherer was forcibly elected from
an Oregon Electric train in this city
upon the instruction of Carl Gray, an
official of the road, for the alleged
reason that she would not pay her fare
to the station Of Multnomah, after be-
ing carried by that place to the capi-
tai.
The plaintiff is acting as her own
counsel in the case, she having liter
ally fired two attorneys who were en-
gagged formerly Mis- Pewtherer was
in the city last Saturday and ex-
planned her side Of the suit. She de-
clared that she owns property in
Multnomah, a little town south of
Portland, and purchased land only af-
ter being assured by the president of
the Oregon Electric Company that
trains would be stopped there on
notice to the conductor. She declares
that she notified the conductor before
the train left Portland, that she de-
sired to get off at her STATION, but
was carried through to Salem, under
protest. She then states that upon
arriving here, she demanded that her
fare be refunded, or the company take
her back to Multnomah free Of charge.
Carl Grey, the official in question.
she says, called Officers Shedeck and
Gains, and instructed them to eject
her from the train, which they did,
much to her modification and mental
anguish.
According to Miss Pewtherer, Carl
Gray cast insulting insinuations at
her during the trip from Multnomah
to Salem, and used language unbefit
ting a gentleman, let alone an official
Of the road She also alleges that Of
ficers Gains and Shedeck circulated
mean lies about her, by stataing she
fought and scratched them while they
were removing her from the train and
that the latetr will be the subject of
her next prosecution.
Miss Pewtherer is a vivacious young
lady, and is unusually intelligent and
educated in law "Why should | hire
a lawyer to quibble and fight my case
on technicalities? said she, in talk
ing to a journal representative. 81
am going to see If 1t is true, as l am
told, that / am likely to be beaten on
technicalities, because of my ignor-
ance Of the fine points Of law. II
these lawyers have fixed things SO
that no one can go into court without
hiring one Of them, want to know
about It."
The plaintiff is suing the company
for $25,OOO She, after dlscharging her
attorneys, met with astonishing sue
cess in the circuit court of Multnomah
county at the time her motions were
argued, according to Portland attor-
neys hearing the case and the young
woman received much praise for her
activity in defending her case.

A THOUSAND ACRES
Of NEW ORCHARDS
This Acreage VIII Come In Bearing
This Spring-CrOp VIII Be
Unusually Heavy.

1t is estimated by fruit men that
about 1000 acres Of new fruit will
come into bearing in sections ada
cent to Salem this year. About half
of this acreage will be in prunes. In
cluded in these new bearing orchards
will be the Lone Maple ranch Of 100
acres in the Rosedale section. This
big tract belongs to c. o. Constable,
August Huckestein and H. T. Bab-
cock
The growth Of fruit spurs and all
other indications point to the heav-
lest crop the coming season that has
ever been recorded in the Willamette
valley and early preparations are be-
1ng made to take care of it.. The Sa-
lem Fruit union has already ordered
a large part of the boxes and crates
chat will be needed for packing pur-
poses.
Spraying of trees is now in full
blast. Large quantities Of spray are
being hauled from the fruit union to
the farms daily. The union has de-
termined to spend all the money pos
sible in Salem in making the neces-
sary purchases Of the season. A
$1,000 order for boxes was placed with
the Charles K. Spaulding company a
few days ago. Other orders will be
placed with local firms.
LOganberrics the Rage.
Fruit men and officials Of the
Board of Trade and the Salem Fruit
union report an unusual number Of
people from abroad coming into Sa-
lem with the approach Of the spring
months. All Of them are inquiring
about loganberries, and large quanti-
ties Of loganberry tips are being sold
by the fruit union daily to persons
who have decided to plant tracts Of
ground to that berry
The fruit union is constantly en-
larging its activities The office is in
receipt of an order from Vancouver,
B. c., for a carload of onions. Other
orders for vegetables in carload lots
have been received.
The packing machines at the union
are busy at present putting up dried
prunes in 50-pound cases, and this
week about four carloads Of the fruit
are to go out. One carload is con-
signed to London. The demand for
dried fruit is said to be greater than
two weeks ago. A few carloads Of
Ben Davis apples are still available
in this section, Other varieties Of
apples are gone.
Kaizer Bottom Thrives.
One of the prettiest loganberry
tracts near Salem is that Of Mrs. j. P.
Jones in Kaizer bottom. The tract
has been trelllsed In the most sub
stantlal manner. Mrs. Jones also has
one of the best peach orchards in the
Kaizer district. She is now install
ing oil and smudge pots as a guard
against the frost season. This work
is all being done under the personal
direction of Mrs Jones. In addition,
she is a pupil of L. ]. Chaplin, farm
management expert Of the Board OF
Trade, and expects good results from
her farm as a result of the applica-
tion of scientific methods.
