ARMY CADETS NEED TRAINER
Skeptical Officer Necessity of
Such Functionary.

Harry Tuthill, the only professional
employed in any branch of athletics
at West Point to wear a class ring
the honor was conferred by the grad
uating class of 1915-has been COM
missiOned lieutenant in the aviation
corps. Tuthill was formerly trainer
for the Detroit Tigers and in the fall
he trained the army football eleven.
Later he became the trainer for the
University of Michigan eleven.
They tell good story of Tuthill at
West Point. When he arrived there to
train his first team, an officer who had
secuted the necessity of such a func-
tionary was sufficiently frank to inform
Tuthill as to his doubts.
"Why," he said, these boys are al
ways in training; what do they need
of trainer?"
BY way Of reply Tuthill forthwith
sent group Of cadets running around
the parade grounds. When they re-
turned he ordered them to whistle.
/ Not cadet could do so.
"There,' said Tuthill, with a smile
"When men can do that and whistle
after 1t, they won't need trainer

Representing G. A. n. ShideIer

Charles A. McGonagle, new superin-
tendent of the Indiana Boys school az
Plainfield, tells story on his predeceS
SCR. G. \. I'll. Shideler, now superin-
terdent of the Jeffersonville reicrila-

when it is known that Mr.. Shideler
weighs about 500 pounds.
Just before Mr.. Shideler resigned to

Of the young boys of the school petit
toned to be transferred TO another
school company and until he obtained
assurance that no punishment would
befall him or anybody else if he should
tell the tru tn, finally consented to give
his reason for wishing to make the
change.

that crowd of boys" said the little fei-

they play. At night they all stuff Pill

DELEHANTY DID NOT
UNDERSTAND BUNTS|
Couldn't Make Sacrifice Hit as
Ordered by Manager.
With Runners on First and Second and
No One Out, Instead of Advancing
Them, He Lands on First Ball
Pitched for Home Run.

Charles Webb Murphy, who still
fans seven days a week, though he is
out of baseball, was watching Cactus
Cravath of the Phillies hit those long
drives of his during practice at the
Cubs park in Chicago recently.
"None of them can swat the ball like
Delehanty could when he was with the
team" said Murphy. ''He had some
mates who could go too, Flick, Lajoie
and others.
II once heard how Billy Earl caught
his first game against Delehanty. It
seems that Del cracked the first ball,
a high one, way on the outside, for a
double. Next time up, Earl gave an
other signal and Del nailed one low on
the inside for a triple.
ION Delehanty's third journey to the
plate the pitcher threw wild one that
hit in front of Del. The batter caught
it as he would if he were playing
cricket, and converted it into a single.
earl was plainly amazed. So when
Delehanty appeared for his fourth eff
fort, Earl asked, Don't you ever wait
till the ball comes across the plate?"
"Delehanty grinned. No. he replied,
Only the poor batters wait for that
kind
"Another time, when Shettsline, now
secretary of the Quakers, was manager
of the team, an important stage came
where runs were badly needed. Philly
got runners on first and second before
anybody was out. 1t was then Dele
hanty's turn at bat.
"ShettSline called Ed to one side and
said, You lay down a sacrifice bunt
now, and I'll have the next fellow try
to knock one out and score both men.
Delehanty nodded. All right he an
swered.
"Shettsline was surprised when Del
ehanty laid on the first ball pitched
and slammed it out for home run. AS
he rounded third Shettsline called out
How was it you didn't bunt?'
ooh, never bunt,' laughed Del. ]

Magnifcence is not a characteristic
of any Of the dressier gowns for after

These are the indispensable things in

.ORfGON'S LOAN QUOTA.
MILLION.
Double Amount Of Last Quota
VIII Be Asked In Next
Campaign

OregOn's quota in. the third liberty
loan is apt to be $S7OO0,00O, or twice
its last quota of $lS,500,0O0, according
to letter received by Governor Witty
eombe from James K. Lynch, governor
of the Federal Reserve Bank at San
Francisco. In writing to the Cover
nor, Mr.. Lynch said in part:
1.-The secretary of the treasury has
Informed us that the fourth campaign
will last three weeks, commencing Sat
urday, Sept. %, and closing Saturday,
Oct. 10. While no further particulars
have as yet been announced, the ir
dieations are that the amount will be
so much in excess of previous liberty
bond issues that it will call for the
greatest possible effort on the part of
all interested in making this loan
complete success.
This can be better appreciated when
1t is remembered that of the three bill
lion dollar third loan the twelfth dis
triet's share was 7 per cent, or $780,
100000, which means that if the next
loan is six billion dollars this district
portion would be approximately $780,

TWO MORE CONVICTS
ATTEMPT TO ESCAPE
BUT ARE FORLED
Give Guards Lively Time For
While And Shots Are
Fired

Robert Burns, serving from . to 90
years for forgery from Multnomah
county, and ]. R. Rogers, eolored, serv-
ing from l to 10 years for assault with
intent to kill, gave Penitentiary Off
eials a lively morning at the prison
today when each attempted to stage
spectacular escape, but each in his
own way and at different times. With
Burns it was his third chance in a
year, as he escaped August s, 1917
and May 2S, 1918.
Burns was working on the inside of
the prison yard at the flax mill, as
sisting in loading flax onto wagons.
Guard A. E. Bell, who is a new man at
the work, had been told to watch out
for an effort such as Burns tried,
but was not looking as he evidently
misunderstood the instructions, and
while the guard S back was turned
Burns slipped in under a pile of flax
on a wagon and was covered up by
his comrades. He succeeded in getting
outside of the prison walls under the
flax and at convenient moment slip
ped out from under his covering and
made his getaway. A man named
White, who lives on D street, saw Burns
hot-footing it east on that street and
notified the prison authorities. Guards
Dorman and Putnam were sent on the
trail and they were followed up by
Warden Murphy and Parole Officer
Keller. A bunch of vacant buildinos
including a hOphouse, barn. and house,
stand on the street and these were
spotted as a possible hiding place for
the quarry and Burns was pulled from
out of a cellar. He was armed with
a long dirk, which from its appearance
was unquestionably slipped in from
the outside in some manner.
In the meantime Sam Worrell, guard
on Post No. l, was having his troubles
with the little negro, Rogers. Rogers
is employed as an oiler and handy man
at the gate and Worrell told him to
oil the hinges on the outside. As the
gate opened for him to go at the work,
Rogers started to beat it. Worrell
shouted at him, but when Rogers only
sprinted the faster, Worrell took a
shot at him with his rag-Jorgensen
rifle. At that Rogers hoped behind
a pillar being missed by only hair.
Worrell held Rogers behind the post
with threat of further shooting and
Warden Murphy grabbed the man up
and took him back into the prison.
