.The Whole World Knows the Portland Rose

The following words, written by Mrs. Lynette
Arnold Henderson, of Sioux City, Iowa, are the
lyrics for the 1915 Rose Festival song Copies OF
the song will be sent to glee clubs, orchestras,
bands and singing societies throughout the state:
Out West the purpling haze lies close
Over wondrous snowcad peaks
Out West the cleaning waterfall
In dazzling brilliance leaps.
Out West the sweet, pinescented breeze
From the fragrant forest blows.
Out West there's wealth glorious bloom,
Out West is the Portland Rose.
The Whole world knows the Portland Rose!
Its queenly air, its beauty
Within the hearts which all enshriue
No other is half so fair
Its tint the CLINT of sunrise shows!
Its soft blush gows! 1t gally throws
Its fragrance to the passing breeze.
The whole world knows the Portland Rose!
Out West there is wealth for all who
With brave, undaunted will
The orchards yield their perfect fruit,
The streams many mill.
There's precious hidden to mine,
Golden grain luxuriant grows
There's wealth in the herds of peaceful kline,
There's wealth in the Portland Rose. (Cho)
Out West the and women stand
Side by side for all that's fair.
They bravely fight for civic right,
The hardest task they dare
They greet you with their outstretched hands,
With the spirit the West besows,
Their hearts pure and sweet, and good
AS the heart of the Portland Rose. (Cho)

for the Cubs this season, and the former Selma pitcher is touted to set the National league on fire by the scribes. However, there are some ex- cellent extinguishers in the paternal organization and Karl may find the go- ing difficult along about July.
 President Robert II. Baugh of the Southern league was at the game yes- terday and froze awhile with the scribes. President Baugh, while with the visiting scriveners took occasion to emphatically deny the rumor that the Southern league at any time contem- plated deserting organized baseball. ''The Southern league is the most loyal organization in organized base ball." said President Baugh, "and whoever started the rumor that we were contemplating deserting to the Federals was hard up to fill space. We intend to stick with organized baseball as long as there is any or ganization of baseball clubs.''
 Charles. Dryden, the veteran sport humorist, recounted yesterday after noon many jaunts to the south. MT. Dryden has been in Birmingham sev- eral times, for he recalled "Buzzard's Roost," and some of the older hotels. This caused President Baugh to chide the veteran baseball writer on his ad- vanced years.
 Jimmie Magee did not show up very we'll in center field yesterday. It may have been the cold, but Magee allowed two very easy flies to fall safe in cen ter and this caused Charley Dryden to remark:
 'I undegstand that Jimmie Magee is a brother of Sherwood Magee Is that the reaso he is in the Southern league?"
 Nothing will be said of Meat on the Head" this morning, for we understand that he objects to criticism.

JESS WILLARD
 PICKED ID WIN Johnson Is at End of Rope. Will Secure Large Sum
 Win or Lose

Something is going to be pulled off Monday afternoon in Havana that will fill the sporting world with an aroma such as would be left in the wake of an irate polecat For those who desire the in- formation, Jess Willard will win. Now Jess is not much of fighter as fighters go and should Johnson decide to double-cross his packers he could easily whip Willard inside of 10 rounds, but it is not on the cards that the negro will do this.
 No one knows better than Jack John- son himself how unpopular he is in the sporting world. Johnson has no home. He is now in Havana immune from the laws of the United States only on the suf- ferance of the federal government and therefore Johnson has about decided to eliminate himself from the flstic world as the champion-but he will be well paid.
 In other words, Jack Johnson is not in the fight game because of his love for the game, but because he can make money at it. But he cannot make money dodg- ing about the world and as a box office attraction the negro is a dubious invest ment at the present time.
 Now several of the smart promoters have seen this turn of affairs in the fistic world and have decided on a new cham

 Field yesterday afternoon, but Manager Roger Bresnahan thought the cool winds were not propitious to Pete's health and thus the former Baronial slugger confined his efforts to coaching along the first base line.
 Manager Bresnahan came along with a likely looking bunch of ball players yesterday. The .tCubs' registered at the Tutwiler and admitted that it was some hotel. At least the "bushers' did.
 I. E. Sanborn and Charles Dryden, two of the veteran sporting writers of the country are along with the Cubs and both of the scribes gave Red" Stewart a new name. They called him ''Toughey."
 Mr Dryden related that last spring while in Dayton, O., Stewart, who was a frisky Cub was ''pincheG' for at tempting to cross the street against the will of the law. According to Mr. Dryden, "Charles the ReaP' was given a pleasant ride in the "Blacl< Maria to the goal and then back again to the hotel after he had made bond. It ap- pears that the club secretary being anxious that Stewart should not injure himself by walking from the station to the hotel, arranged with the police for return ride. It is not on record that Red" or '"Toughey'' ever really appreciated the kind attentions of the secretary.
 Artie Phelan, another old favorte in Birmingham, umpired the game yes- terday, and without prejudice, it is stated, that as an umpire, Phelan is one of the best third sackers in the world.
 Regarding Pete Knisely, the Chicago scribes are of the opinion that the bow-legged Dutchman will stick up there this season. Knisely is slated to succeed Shulte when the veteran be- gins to falter.

Hemingway then touched third for an unassisted double play It was the feature play of the game In the seventh Wilbur Goode, who had twice whiffed, got one of Grimes spitters and sent it over the fence sew eral feet inside the scoreboard. It was one of the longest Wallops ever seen at Redwood Field.
 It was in the eighth that the fireworks really began. Zimmerman struck out and Saire flied out With two gone and the Barons in the lead, everyone was cheer ing Grimes to win. Cy Williams sent 6 fiukey grounder to Coombs, who juggled
 
 han swung and missed twice before he sent a hot one along the groove for homer McLarry also followed with homer over the right field fence, and Babel ended the inning by grounding out. In the ninth the Cubs scored another on sim gles by Goode and Zimmerman.
 After having scored one in the second inning the Barons secured a duo in the third. Carroll singled and advanced to third on the outs of Magee and fleming way. Sloane was safe on an error by Fisher and Carroll scored, Sloane going to second on the play at the plate. Cecil Coombs then singled to left, scoring Sloane. Coombs went out stealing.
 It was in the fifth inning that the Bar ons scored their last run. Grimes ground- ed out and Carroll walked. Magee ground ed out, advancing Carroll, who scored when Hemingway singled sharply to left. Hemingway went out at second stretching his hit.
 Owing to the intense cold only a few spectators attended the game, and those who came saw fairly good game of baseball considering the weather. The same teams will play again this afternoon and the game will be called at o'clock. The score.
