Seattle are the chief defenders Of the
present rates,
Portland s contention is that freight
rates into Columbia river ports should
be lower than rates into Puget Sound
ports because into the former freight
trains run down water grade where
as into the latter they must run over
the mountains.
If the Columbia river ports arc able
to gain a lower rate than that allowed
Puget Cound, the vast resources OF the
Inland Empire (the Columbia River
basn) win be turned from tho pres

To win, Portland must force a now

ROW IN NATIONAL
LEAGUE BREAKS AFRESH
All Because Game Won By
Cincinnati Vas Declared
Violation Of Rules.
By H C. Hamilton

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent.)
New York. July l9.-ContrOversy re-
garding the action of the Natlonaa
league board of directors in expunging
from the records a game between Gin
einnati and Pittsburgh has sprung with
all the old flame that use TO busn in
National league raw rag chewing
matches.
Gary Hermann, who won the eurtail-
ed contest, doesn't mind 50 much that
the game was called violation Of the
National league rules, but he does think
the Reds should have a chance to start
the thing where they left off when thel
quit to catch a train. He points to an
ancient pastime between The Giants and
Phillies which was forfeited by Jealous
umpire and later allowed to be played
out.
President Heydler probably will have
nothing to do with such claim. He
relieved himself of a statement today
thSt doubtless is his last word. He
points out that the game in questioa
clearly was violation Of league rules
by the club and not a questionable de.
eision by an umpire.
The race is so close and the strength
Of the Giants so uncertain that John
MeGraw, viee-president aad manager Of
the club, took up on his own shoulders
the protest which ended with ordering
the game declared no contest

THE FLU.

When your back is broke and your
 eyes are blurred, And your shin bones knock and your
 tongue is furred, And your tonsils squeak and your hair
 gets dry, And you're doggone sure you're going
 to die, But you're scared you won't and
 afraid you will Just drag to bed and have your chill, And pray to the Lord to see you thru. For you've got the flu, boy, you've
 got the flu. When your toes curl up and your belt
 goes flat, And you're twice as mean as Thomas
 cat, Ard life is long and dismal curse, And your food all tastes like hard
