STATE PRESS COMMENTS
ON RECENT CONVENTION
THE PENDI.EToN SPIRIT.
(From The oregonian. ,


! The State Editorial Association
| which has just concluded it's annual
J convention at Pendieton reports
through returning members that II
discovered in new and remarka BILE
ways the efficient and wholesome
| nature of the Pendieton spirit. There
was great public interest in the pres
ence of the editors. and there was a
generous plan of entertainment ar
ranged so as not to interfere with the
real business which brought them to-
gether.
The climax of hospitality was
reached when a special train was
chartered by the citizens of Pendle-
ton and the visiting editors were ta-
ken on an excursion 10 the beautiful
Wallowa valley. and there in turn
the company were entertained by the
citizens of Joseph and the valley at
Wallowa Lake.
Now. here was the PendIeton spirit
in its finest expression. Pendleton did
not try to monopolize the editors, buI
out of pure neighborliness and in
desire that the association should see
and know the best OF eastern Ore
gon. Pendleton escorted it's guests. in
most luxurious fashion. to a show
place more than 100 miles away. and
brought them back wnen the enter
tainment was concluded. II was all
most handsomely done. for that is the
method of the PeudIeton spirit.
A moot question in eastern Oregon
is whether Pendieton has made the
Roundup or the Round Up has
made PendletOn. We have no diff

but the Round Up would not be what
il is without Pendieton There is u
little uneasiness in I-endeton because
there are other attempted Round-Ups

mark the vast distinction between the
real show conceived in spirit Of
sportsmanship ami cniralry. and the
imitation. created oy professional
showmen and itinerant hippodrom-
lists.
We do not know just what it Is
that makes the men and women Of
Pendleton what they are Perhaps It
is the great spaces. making it neces-
sary for them to think and move and
act in big ways Perhaps it is the
conditions Of living. not yet far re

~ EVELOPMENTS in the
D war are encouraging in
the direction of peace.
Upon the whole the allies are
making steady gains; not so
much in territory as in the per-
sistent wearing down of the
military strength of the Cen
tral powers, while the allies
strength is steadily maintained
and even gaining. Success in
this war is not to be measured
so much by territory won or
havoc wrought, as by the rela-
tive fighting abilities of the
two sides. There is no question
about which side is in the as
tendency and which on the de-
cline. Signs of dissension and
even disruption are evident in
Germany's present government
crisis. but these should not be
taken too seriously. Although
Germany is tired of the war
and dissatisfied with its recent
conduct, the Kaiser's power is
by no means broken. 1t should
be remembered that both
Great Britain and France have
bad several government crises,
and Russia a great revolution;
but none of these events had
any other result than deter
to carry on the war
with still greater vigor. 1t is
premature, also. to suppose

GRIDIR0N SPORT MIGHT Die
Effect OF Action Of Yale, Harvard and
Princeton 10 PuzzIIns to
Football Fans.

The fact that Yale, Princeton and
Harvard. recognized as the leaders in
football, have suspended activities on
the gridirOn for the duration Of the
war, has set the devotees of the game
to thinking. The universal question
Of those interested in the matter is:
What ultimate effect will this ha- =
on the sport pursued by the smaller
colleges2
Is football to die until after the war
or will those who have the sports in
terest at heart bring strong enough
pressure to bear for its conservation
Action by the big Three" in cancel
ing their schedules is patriotic indeed.
1t Is true, but there is probably some
practical method obtainable which will
give the young collegiah a chance to
indulge in his favorite autumn sport.
Football should not be allowed to die
natural death when means can be
adopted for its preservation. It Is
part Of every college mans life, and
without Its moral and physical effect
he will suffer.

there was little difference between
Miss Bjurstedt and Miss Browne, the
question of the women's national su-
premacy was not confined to these two.
but should include May Sutton-Bundy.
Won English Title Twice.
Mrs. Bundy, as May Sutton, won the
national championship In 1904 at an
age said to have been under eighteen.
Thereafter she forfeited her United
States championship rights in order to
60 abroad and play in the women's
""All-comers" and national champion
ship, In England. The last she won
twice, once in 1905 and again in 1907.
Her marriage to the well-known ten
mis- player, T. g. Bundy, partner Of
Comet Mclaughlin, as national
doubles champion, has since removed
her from the competitive field. She
has not been in the rankings for sew
eral years.
But 1t is not to be considered that
Mrs. Bundy Is out Of the running, by
any means. We have two recent
Zines" on this wonderful woman
player, Of whom It was said at one
time that there were not over q dozen
men in the United States able to de-
feat her.
Two years ago Mrs. Bundy and Miss
Bjurstedt played three matches, exhi-
bition. two Of which were won by the
American girl. This year, in the East
West series, her superiority was shown
again in series Of three matches as
follows:
Mrs. 'Bundy defeated Miss Blur
stedt, TO, 81.
Miss Browne defeated Miss Blur
stedt, rs, go.
Mrs. Bundy defeated Miss Browne,
11-9, SO.
Here Is direct line and q new one
and events have since justified the con-
clusion that the proper ranking Of the
three best players in the world to-
day is:
No. Mrs. May Sutton Bundy.
No. 2-Miss Mary X. Browne.
No. 3-Miso Molla Bjurstedt.

Matches. Sets. Games.
Skill and Education Tested

This indicates sure superiority in
both endurance and skill on the part
Of the California candidate. The con-
testants have played under all courts
ranging from asphalt to turf. There
is no flaw and no alibi to the argu-
ment in favor Of the California girls
supremacy at the present time.
It has been suggested that perhaps
Miss Bjurstedt is below the form she
displayed when first she came to this
country, and which enabled her to
twice win the United States champion
ship.
1t may be; but 1t is also true that
none knows just what was Miss Blur
stedt's "best" at that time, since Amer
ica's best, Miss Browne and Mrs.
Bundy, were in retirement.
An interesting sidelight to the stu
alton was suggested by Fred Alexan-
der, former national doubles champion
and internationalist, who recently was
here with the Red Cross tourists. AL
exander expressed the view that while

Good Resolution Didn't Last.

When Nathaniel Ripple was just
youngster he did very little work about
the place. In fact he didn't do any
thing. But one day, when he was al
most ten years Of age, he decided to
take some Of the work off his mothers
shoulders. When breakfast was over
he ordered his mother to the front
porch. He was going to wash the
dishes for her. When they were fin
ished he called her to look at them,
and she was very much surprised. She
could hardly believe that he had done
all that work by himself. Then he
told her that he was going to wash
them for her every meal.' OF course
she was glad, and she told him he
might run out and play. Him play?
Not a bit Of it. He took the broom
and swept every floor in the house.
Mrs. Ripple, who is very truthful
woman, said that he swept them just
as good as shc could have done it her
self. He then informed her that he
was going to sweep them for her every
day. That was the last time Nathaniel
ever washed the dishes or swept the
floors.-Claude Callan in Kansas City

WILL ENLARGE HIS STANDS
President comiskey Announces Gaps
Will Be Filled With New Seats to
Accommodate $4,000.

President Comiskey won't be caught
short again in case his White Sox get
into another worlds series. He has
announced that the gaps in the stands
and bleachers ut his Chicago park are
to be filed, making a continuous line
of stands around the field, except
where the score board Is located, and
increasing the seating capacity to 49,
600. The work will be done before
the 1918 season opens and will give
COmmy the greatest seating capacity
in the major leagues. The 1000 addi-
tional box seats built for the worlds
series also will be permanent, and are
a part of the plan to make Comiskey
park the biggest and handsomest In

Bible War Bread Recipe.

The ninth verse Of the fourth chap
ter of Ezekiel reads as follows: "Take
thou also unto thee wheat, and barley,
and beans, and lentiles, and pillet.
.. and put them in one vessel, and
make thee bread thereof"
In the thirteenth century David
Kimchi, the commentator, wrote: "The
prophet thus warns the disobedient
children Of Israel that, during the
siege of Jerusalem, they will not long
er be able to make their bread with
pure wheat, but they will have to mix
it with all kinds Of grain and vegeta-
bles with which flour is not made, un-
less extreme need u.akes it necessary
to do So"
War bread In Europe is now made
according to the recipe Of Ezekiel.
But It is not baked with the same kind
Of fuel. For particulars see Ezekiel

solute.
The use Of big coaching STATS has
been prevalent in the East for a num-
Der Of years and, despite the old adage
that two or three, heads are better
than one, the real value Of big staff
has been an open argument. In the
West one high-salaried coach has been
considered sufficient by many schools
for number Of years, though the adj
vice offered by old grads, who have
given their services gratis, has general
ly been welcome.
Large Coaching Stats.
The great number Of players who
have turned out for the football teams
at the larger universities during the
past few years have been responsible
for the introduction of large coaching
staffs, for 1t Is difficult for one coach
to devote much time to the individual
player where the field is so large.
But Pennsylvania Is going to try
the plan out, and it will be watched
with great deal Of interest by schools
throughout the country.

rained as infantrymen, although they
will all keep their designation as cav

lose of training-for they must be
able to drill equally well afoot or on
horseback-as well as a double lot
to learn. But they all insist, to man,
that they're not infantrymen-or
"doughboys' and "leather-necks," as
they derisively call them-but "dis-
mounted cavalry" And so be 1t, since
they are so terribly proud Of their
branch Of the service. and so loyal
to It.
There were fully as many, or more,
of these "dismounted cavairymen" up
