WIFE SHOWS HER ANKLES,
 HUBBY SUES

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 2.-Doug- las Osborn Ross, former captain i'll the American Expeditionary Forces in Siberia didn't mind his pretty 20- year-old Russian bride. niece of Baron Rosen, former Russian minis ter to the United States, wearing roll-d0wn stockings to show a dimpled knee, but when she rolled 'em down below the ankle it was too much. Captain Ross accuses his wife of displaying her unclad ankles while he was stationed at Fort McHenry. Manila, after his transfer from Vladi- vostok, Siberia.
 His wife's actions. Ross alleges, made him the butt of many jokes at the military post, thus causing him great mental anguish.
 Furthermore, the complaint re- cites. his wifes desire to display her unclad ankles at social functions since arriving in this country has made it imperative that he seek a divorce. In reply Mrs. Ross de clared: stu
 There is nothing wrong in show ing ones angles-if they are pretty. My husband simply doesn't under stand Russian customs. It is con- sidered very proper in VladivOstok. ,
 The Rosses were married in Vladi- vostok in 1920. They separated three weeks ago.

BILL RODGERS
 HAS TALK WITH
 JAMES R. B0LDT
Portland Fans Would Like to See Bill Leading the
 New Beavers.

Bill Rodgers, late manager Of the Sacramento club, is in Seattle visit ing relatives, says a recent Times.
 As becomes a visiting baseball dis iitary, he called on President James R. Boldt Of the Seattle club to pay his respects to the big chief of the Indians.
 Rodgers would like to manage the Portland or the Seattle baseball club. He makes no secret of that, and he has many boosters among baseball followers along the Coast, particular ly in Portland, where the fans are for him almost to man to manage the Beavers. When Rodgers played ball in Portland he was one of the hardest workers Walter McCredie ever employed, and the fans have not forgotten it. ~
 Fans who have been wondering why Rodgers was released by Sacra- mento, after bringing his team into second place, and who were of the belief that Charley Pick, the third baseman, undermined him, have another guess coming.
 Owned Third of Club
 It was not generally known that Rodgers owned a one-third interest in the Sacramento club in partner ship with Lew and Charley Moreing, the millionaire brothers who own the club. The Senators made money this year for the first time in history by reason of the fact that they were either first, second or third all of last season.
 Rodgers had been at Sacramento for four years, which was twice as long as any other manager eve. re- mained in the Small town, and he showed his worth as a manager by bringing his club home in the first division during that time. The More ings and Rodgers are warm personal friends, but it was decided that q new face at the helm might be better all around. Rodgers received third of the profits of the club in addition to his salary for the year and can now walk around like Walter Me tIcule anu tdhe tHiHSo easy IL ne does not land the Portland or Seattle job.
 Will They Let Him Go
 Rodgers has always liked the Northwest and would like to land here, and there are many ar'ong .he fans who do not see how KteYper or Boldt or Cal Ewing of Oakland can let Rodgers get out of tn, league in view of his past success at Sacra. menta.

ALLEGED PLOT

Moro Datus Planned to Drive Out Americans from

 Alaoya Alonto. who signs himself Sultan of Ramain," makes the charge of the communication is signed by 25 other sultans, 24l datus, 10 rajahs, one hadji and more than three score other Moros, who are followers of Mohammedanism
 We Moros are trying to do all we can in learning from our Chris tian Filipino brothers. except the eating of pigs. which is forbidden by our religion. for we know now that they are far better than we are."s writes the Sultan of Ramain. "The agreement of Datu Amai Mana biland with Datu Amai Binaning to do foolishness caused the death of the latter We, the young datus of Lanao. will be very glad if all those old datus are killed as they are hin , dering the progress of our province as we'll as the whole Philippines. The aim of their agreement was not only to drive out the Christian Filipines, but also the Americans, because they want the Turkish flag to be raised over Lanao and the Turks to take 1 the place of Americans and Christian Filipinos."
 The Sultan says the young datus desire that compulsory attendance Of public schools should he enforced in Lanao province. notwithstanding the opposition of the old datns who fear that the public. school teaching will alienate their girls from the Moham medan faith.

SMALL CALIBER RIFLE COMING
 INTO ITS OWN
 Most Anyone Can Learn to Shoot We'll with the Little .22 Rifle.

Not so many years ago the .22- caliber rifle was spoken of by shoot CTS as a "cat rifle" and it's use was limited mainly to small game huns ing by boys and by men merely as game getter around camp.
 Of course there were some few tar get shooters who realized the possi- bilities of the little p. but their re- marks and writings on the subject were treated almost with cortempt by many periodicals.
 During the last few years there has been a very decided change in the attitude of shooters toward the 92 caliber rifle. for experience has shown that the .22 long rifle cart ridge is capable of as fine results for target shooting, up to 20 yards, as any of the larger cartridges and in fact groups closer than q good many of them.
 Why the 22 Is PopuIa'
 In learning how to shoot q rifle, one of the principal difficulties that most people encounter is in over coming the tendency to finch jast at the moment of firing.
 "Flinchine" is merely a matter of lack of nerve control and is caused by the instinctye fear of the conse- quences of the sudden recoil of the rifle. Twenty-two caliber rifles have very light recoil and consequently almost anyone finds it easy to learn how to shoot one without flinching and as practice with the smallbore is continued, the proper method of carefully squeezing the trigger with out worrying about the recoil be- comes so much a matter of habit that when the shooter does take up high pow CT rifle work, there is no ing of the muscles, just before the discharge, which is known as finch ing.
 What Schoolboys Do
 The Public Schools Athletic League of New York annually stages a rifle shoot open to the school boys of New York, and service rifles with full charge ammunition are used Anyone who attends one of these shoots will have proved to him be yond the shadow of doubt the truth of the above facts, for the school boys, many of them in short trous- CTS, made remarkably good scores with the regulation government rifle, although the majority of them have never before fired any kind of high power rifle, their training having been obtained with the little .22.
 In fact there is very little about high power rifle shooting that can not be taught just as well with the 1 22 Even judging wind conditions the effect of changing light. etc, is brought in at the smallbore long ranges from 100 to 200 yards.
