Reports that the old Metcalf
order, introduced originally by
Secretary Metcalf in 1908 and re-

Roper denied the purpose of the

Of the New Deal. It is intended,
he said, only to block release Of

When the Giants lefr New York for another swing around the vest ern circuit their loyal supporters were in high glee. For the Giants surge had carried to within 2 game of the League, lead. And just about one month ago the, Giants were con- sidered bopelessIy out of the run ming as they floundefed around in fifth place.
 Judging solely by what they have seen of their favorites at home the Giant fans have some grounds for feeling that the team should be in front at this stage of the race. The Giants have won AT of the 63 games played before home folks this season. If they had travelled at anything like that pace on the road they would be heading the parade. But they did not.
 The Giants also boasted a g. game winning streak when they left the friendly home stand. They had won II straight games and in so doing had copped 29 of their last 34 games.
 The. amazing part of the Giants drive Is that it was staged by the same team which floundered about few weeks back. There have been no important changes to bolster weak spots. The team sim ply started to click. That is all there is to it.

 Almost as amazing as the Giants sudden awakening is the support given the team by home fans. The season attendance figures for the Polo Grounds is almost certain to be broken-whether the team wins the pennant or not.

Pilots Yankees to $50 Wins in Six Years as Their
 Manager

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-Joe Me- Carthy. by virtue of a recent New York Yankee victory over the Washington Senators, achieved the ihonor of having piloted the Yan- kees to $50 wins.
 Mccarthy is now in his sixth year as manager of the New York Amer ican League team.
 In 1881, when he took over the helm, Mccarthy guided the team to 95 victories. In 1882, the Yan- kees won the pennant with l07 wins. The 1885 Tanks wound up on top 89 times.
 Since he has been with New York, Mccarthy has never finished worse than second. His men have never lost more than 60 games in one season.

Ter was barely hanging on to the job. Then suddenly he blossomed out and started winning ball games for Bill Terry. His 12inning vic tody over Van Mungo and the Brooklyn Dodgers stamped him as a real pitcher.
 This fellow can out-talk anyone in the senior circuit-not excepting Dizzy Dean. Gabler begins where Dean ends. The Great Dig con- fines his popping off to baseball topics, as rule, but the Great Gabbo's range of subject matter is unlimited. No member of the Giant roster wants to room with him sim ply because he talks every waking minute. Sometimes, when he real ly warns up, Gabler chatters all through the night in his sleep.

He readily admits to being a great all-around athlete. and will talk for hours about his accomplish ments on the athletic fields.

 There isn't subject in the world he isn't ready and willing to talk on. But, of course, his favorite subject is Frank Gabler.

Oregon and Washington embraced by
the valleys Of the Snake, Salmon, Clear
water and Grande Ronde rivers. The
Indians were then naive enough to
take the white man at his word, but
the discovery of gold in the Clearwater
valley in 1860 and on tributaries of the
Snake a few years alter caused the
by a new treaty which considerably re-
duced the Nez Perez reservation. The
Nez Perces were having their first ex-
perience with the code of "honor" prac-
ticed by the white men.
New Treaty Rolled Old Joseph
The new treaty was signed by a ma
jority of the Nez Perez chieftains, but
Old Joseph and other chiefs refused
to sign, refused to live within the boun-
ton, and continued to occupy the fer
tile valleys of the Wallowa and the
Imnaha, tributaries of the Grande
Ronde and the Snake, respectively. Old
Joseph died in 1872, %bequeathing to his
son and successor, Young Joseph, the
policy of ignoring the treaty of 1868 and
retaining the land.
IT buried him in that beautiful val
ley of winding waters" tthe Wallowa)
Il love that land more than all the
rest of the world. A man who would
not love his fathers grave is worse
than a wild animal"
In 1873 the United States gave the
Indians temporary permission to re-
main in the Wallowa valley, but eager
settlers, pouring into the northwest and
recognizing no right of proprietorship
among the Indians, occupied it. Much
friction followed the arrival of whites
in large numbers. A commission, ap-
pointed by the federal government in
1876, decided that the non-treaty Nez
Perces had no standing and that they
must go onto the reservation as pro-
vided in 1868. Major General O. o.
Howard was ordered to carry out the
commission.
In May, 1877, several councils were
held at Fort Lapwai, near Lewiston,
Idaho. Chief Joseph, arrogant and
handsome, attended these councils and
on May Z, after much argument, re-
l%uctantly agreed to go upon the reser-
walton. He felt that it would be folly
to enter upon a war with the whites
in which there could be nothing but
defeat for the Indians.
A certain time was given Joseph to
collect his people and move to the res
ervation. However, his peaceful inten-
tons were not shared by younger

warpath! The whole country watched
with interest.
Chief Joseph's subordinates had
started the trouble, but as their leader
he was held responsible. The cavalry
overlook Joseph and White Bird and
their band at the junction of White
Bird creek and the Salmon river. Here
the battle of White Bird canyon was
fought. Chief Joseph's band moved on
pursuit. Several skirmishes in Idaho
followed but Joseph had a good start
and crossed into Montana over the tor
tuous, stored Lolo trail. Somehow
he managed to keep several days ahead
of Howard eve though forced to make
wide detours while Howard Travelled in
a straight line. Telegraph wires carried
word of Joseph's movements and plans
were made to intercept him. A Capt.
c. c. Rawn was then in charge of Fort
Missoula and he fortified Lolo pass.
When Joseph arrived he demanded
free passage down the Bitter Root val
ley. Rawn refused and Joseph slipped
