= OREGON WEATHER :
FROM FRANCE TO OREGON.

The appeal Of the peace and the
prosperity Of life in southern Oregon
reaches even across the sea and makes
itself felt above the roar Of battle in
sunny France. Yesterday the mail
brought to the secretary of the Com
mercial club a letter with distinc-
tive foreign appearance. the post
mark Indicating French city as its
place of origination. 1t bore q mes
sage from George Huber. Of 81
Avenue de la Care, Bondy. Seine.
France. In his first sentence Mr.,
Huber told the story, II intend to
make my home in Oregon as soon as
the war is over" said he. And then
he asked number Of questions.
What were farm lands and orchards
worth? What interest could be OBJ
tanned here upon first mortgages on
farm lands? Then. after asking for
q copy of the Grants Pass paper. Mr..
Huber inquiries about the opportuni-
ties for hunting and fishing in the
Grants Pass district.
No doubt there are many like Mr.
Huber in France, in England, in Ger
many, and other of the nations thai
are now so torn and troubled who
are looking forward to the time wher
they can come to peaceful Oregon
when the war Is over" Those ma
tions have sent many most excellen
men and women to America to make
loyal and enterprising citizens. ant
more will be welcomed and will fint
a place in the development OF thu
great west, where the swords hav'
been fashioned into plow shares.

Washington, Jan. 22-Unqualihed
endorsement of the administrations
continental army plan was given by
Henry l.. Stimson, secretary of war in
the Taft administration, in an address
before the National Security league.
Declaring himself in favor of compul-

said he regarded the program now ad-
vanced by Secretary Garrison as a
sound initial step.
'If congress is not ready yet to
sanction universal training" Stimson
said, "the measures which are enacted
should be those which, so far as they
go, are in accord with this great

time passes and experience ripens, will

such a system. 'a..

BROOKLYN CLAIM DENIED.
Commission Will Allow Portion of
 S75,293.S1 To Be Paid.

Cincinnati, July 1.-The claim of the Brooklyn National league club of $75, 5,293.S1 against the Newark club of the International league was yester- day denied by the National baseball commission, President Johnson of the American league, a member of the commission, refusing to concur. The commission, however, did allow the Brooklyn club the difference between tho amount received for the fran chise of the Newark club by the Inte~- national club and the net expenses incurred in operating the club during the year 1915 at Harrisburg, Pa., and Newark.
 According to the commission the claim of the Brooklyn club was cor rect and there was no manipulation in money matters between these clubs, but owing to the fact that the Brooklyn club refused to dispose of it's interests in the Newark club when told to do so by the commission, the original claim of s75,293.S1 was dis allowed
 The finding points out that the Brooklyn club later offered to settle the case upon it's being paid 5000, but the commission ruled that but for several extraordinary features of the case the commission would allow their compromised

WILLIAMS COACH.
Brooks, Former Colgate Tackle, Will
 Guide Gridiron Squad.

New York, July 11.-Joe Brooks, one of the greatest tackles who ever wore the maroon of Colgate univer- sity has been appointed head coach of the Williams college eleven for the season of 1916. Brooks former ly was a student at the Williamstown college, but left there to go to Col gate, where he won lasting fame on the gridiron and was mentioned prominently in the various all-Amer- ica selections. He was assistant coach at Williams last year.
 Brooks started his football career as a halfback. Tn a game between Williams and Harvard. he won the distinction of scoring a touchdown against the Crimson. At Colgate Brooks was tried in the backfield for a while but was placed at tackle. Possessed of great strength and speed and a natural aptitude for the game, he picked up the finer points of line play and developed into a terror to his opponents. The skill acquired as a kicker did not desert him when he was placed in the line, and in one of the games with Yale he kicked a goal from placement, which aided in the defeat of the Blue

BOWLING ON THE GREEN
Burns Club Plans to Revive the Game in New Britain and Seek Grounds on Walnut Hill Park.

The time honored Scotch game of bowling on the green is to be revived in this city by the Burns club provided grounds can be secured at no great cost A committee consisting Of George K. McCauley, Steve Robb and William Blair has the matter in hand and will interview the park commits sion to see if grounds cannot be se- cured at Walnut Hill park.
 A piece of ground 120 feet by 76 feet would be sufficient for the sport on either side of which a pit would be dug to catch balls going out of bounds. With a space thirty feet longer reserved at one end of the bowling green room would be pro- vided for an ice rink in winter when the curling game could be indulged in.
 The green requires careful attention to be in shape for play, but the Burns club members are determined to have a place to play and if the park com missioners are unwilling to provide one they will secure land elsewhere At the present time members of the club play the game at Hartford, being members of rival teams In the Capitol City. It Is planned in connection with the proposition to erect a small club house to be equipped with dressing rooms and quarters for storing the necessary equipment.

 Tn spite of his defeat on Saturday, the seasons best box work has been accom- plished by Al Mamaux, the Pittsburgh Phenom, who is several notches beyond the field.
 Exhibiting his wares with a ball club that has been down deep in the rut all year Mamaux has won thirteen games and lost but four.
 This record would be fine enough with a winning club. Put through upon a losing machine it is a mark without any close rivalry in sight.

That American League Razzle-Dazzle

There is always a time when affairs get so tautly drawn that something is . bound to bend, if not to break.
 That point is now about reached in this American league razzle dazzle, which has tied the dope into the true lovers knots, beyond any computa- ton.
 Starting this present week, Detroit, in sixth place, was just six games back of New York in first place. When a margin of six games only separates six ball clubs after nearly three months, play, the folly of prediction is apparent to the naked and unbiased orb. A six-game margin can be wiped away in two or three weeks without any abnormal upset. It is simple enough to sit down and select favor ties, but the cold and pallid figures show we'll enough that the turning point is not yet in sight where any one or two clubs can be plastered with the olive and picked as the select

CLARKE NOT BUYING
Former Pirate Manager Denies The RumOr That He Is Dickering For Pittsburgh Club

Pittsburgh, July 11.-Arriving in Pittsburgh on business affecting his oil interests in Kansas, ex-Managc ger Fred Clarke of the Pirates witnessed the performance of his former charges against the Giants at Forbes field during yesterday. When asked concerning the rumor which foated around the country some time ago that he was trying to buy into Lhe Pittsburgh club he said:
 Nothing to it; I am through with baseball for all time" Following this he said jokingly: T see where MT. Dreyfuss has offered $50,000 for 9, 300 hitter. Maybe I'll try for that money" Then, in d more serious mood, he said "I witnessed a game in Chicago on Friday, and if the pitch ing in the National league isn't any better than it was in that game I'll bet I will hit 400 for the remainder of the season.
 Fred will remain in the city for 8 couple of days. He is anxious to de- velop additional parts to his land in Kansas, and believes that the well which he brought in some time ago is but the first of many. This well is spouting about eighty barrels a day.
