It has fallen to the lot of W.
H. Van Horn and F. M. Slack of

of the present hunting season,
which they experienced while on
their annual trek Into the Olym

The party has just returned,
bringing the story of a wild night
at the summit of McCarthy peak,
10 miles from Port Angeles
where Messrs. Van Horn and
Slack nearly lost their lives In the

As a trophy of the hunt the
party have the bead of a mon
strous four-point buck,\ which

COAST LEAGUE
SEASON ENDS
SUNDAY
(By United Press Leased Wire.)
SAN FRANCISCO— ser
en months o( strenuous playing
the Coast league season will come
to a close next Sunday afternoon
unless Oakland and Los Angeles,
who clash on the local ■ diamond,
demand that two postponed games
be played off. At Sacramento,
where the Seals tackle the Sena
tors and at Los Angeles, where
Vornon plays Portland, the sea
son Is sure to close Sunday as
there are no postponed games be
tween any of these teams.
During the last month the fight
has been hotter than in any oth
er league In the United States.
In fact the race was so close that
at one time a point separated the
three clubs. Oakland was lead
ing and the southern teams were
tied for second place, one point
In the rear of the com
puters . This week the.race Is
as close as ever, Oakland leading
by the . scant . margin of nine
points. VernoH is second and
Los Angeles third.

Since 1883 football In this
country has been played under a
more or less definite code of rules
but prior to 1883 and for some
years thereafter It was almost ex
clusively an eastern college sport.
It was adopted In the west in
the late 80's and has been played
almost universally since the early
90s.
Since 1883 but four funda
mental Innovations have been
worked out by players, coaches
or students. Restrictions caused
by frequent changes in the rules
altered the style of play, but did

CHICAGO, Oct. 32. — "I
dare Murphy to releana me.
He hasn't got the nerve."
This defiance was hurled
at < has. \V. Murphy, presi

the National league, by Man
ager Frank Chance this aft*

not effect the scientific side of tne
game.
The first great Innovation was
made by Lorin P. Deland, a Har
vard man and a student of mili
tary science, who took pleasure Jn
apiilying the rules of war to foot
ball and with much the same re
sults, for ills "flying interference"
figuratively aud sometimes actu
ally, killed so many that the rules
committee abolished it.
Deland originated tht "flylnp;
wedge," whereby two sides of a
wedge converged at/ top speed 10
the center of the field, tore at Its
scattered opponents, and split
them wide open.
The west has contributed the
other innovations, and they are
used today and are known from
coast to coast.
The first great development
was the DIRECT PASS by the
(Miiter to the kicker. Before
1895 flic ball, when put Into phvy,
for a run or kick. Invariably
passed through the hands of
three men. The quarter-lwk
took the kill from center ana
passed it to kicker or runner.
When passed for a kick in this
manner the play was slow and
dangerous, and because of the
frequently blocked kicks, discour
aged a kicker game.
The rules contained the pro
viso that the ball must be
TOUCHED by three men before It
was legally in play. This ap
parently prevented direct passing.
But at Illinois university they
evaded this by having a player
stationed just back and to the side
of the center .coaching him to
make the pass direct to the klck-

i PORTLAND, Ore., Oct. 22. —

slty of ' Oregon and .the y Oregon
Agricultural college are again to

feature' in Oregon. . Eugene has

er, and this player just "ticked"
the kill as it wag passed.
This saved time, and worked so
well that a general demand from
the west, for the removal of the
subterfuge, resulted In the dules
lieing changed to legalize the
direct pass.
The first direct pass in a game
came when Illinois met Wiscon
sin. Fullback Hotchkiss waited
until the "safety" man was play
ing close and then, jumping back,
suddenly called for the ball, get
ting it on the direct pass, and
punting far over the Wisconsin
man's head, dashing down the
field and putting his men "on
side."
An Illinois end grabbed the ball
and went over for a touchdown.
The rules provided that the kick
er could put his team mates on
side and secure the ball by rush
ing down field to a point even
with the ball. Hotchkiss did this.
George Huff, then, as now, ath
letic director at Illinois, sat on the
side lines and chuckled over the
success of the play.
The direct pass has made the
kicking game possible. It Is more
difficult to block, and gives the
offensive side one more man to
protect the kicker or to go down
the field with the punt.

this series, telling of the discov

Straight talk to men
who smoke jimmy pipes
The last two years has seen a revolution in pipe-smoking. Prince Albert
came on deck with a brand new deal. Here was tobacco with wonderful flavor
and fragrance, without a touch of rankness. Here was tobacco that burned
long but burned free and steady, that held its fire close and never sogged but
burned down to dust-fine ashes. Here was tobacco you could smoke all day
and it wouldn't bite your tongue.
Prince Albert brought the first notable improvement in pipe tobacco
since the days of Walter Raleigh. It has done more in two years to make the.
pipe popular than all other smoking tobaccos in a generation.
Now, men, we want you to know why Prince Albert Is different, why It's In a class of Its own.
The reason Is the Prince Albert process. This is what make P. A. what It is.
This process was discovered by a well-known German scientist who dearly loved a pipe and ex
perimented with smoking tobaccos as a side line. He knew he had hit upon a big thing in this
process. So did we when this company acquired It. Experts were put on the job of perfecting it.
The work took three years and cost a bunch of money. But we knew it would make a wonderful
smoking tobacco and we had the faith to back it.
The United States Patent on this process was granted July 30, 1907.
Now, men, this Is the showdown. If you haven't tried Prince Albert, try it now. Put.it to (lie
jimmy pipe test. Let the tobacco smoke for itself. Then you'll understand what this patent Prince
Albert process means to yon. You'll know why it has revolutionized pipe-smoking and .started two men
to smoking a pipe where one smoked before.
