NAPA, Cal., Jan. s.—Shut yaur

surrounded by gloomy mountains

drive from Napa over a ten-mile
road that spirals upward danger

day of the week when I broke In-
I to hi. mountain retreat for a chat
to send out to the fans of the
"Hot Stove league."
I made the ten mile drive in a
blinding rain to make a call on
Oscar. Half a dozen time. 1 was
afraid the buggy and the faithful

of the cliff. Oacar waa standing
ln the door with a rifle ln his

but what 1 might be a mountain
lion and he's rather laying for a

I found Mr.. Vltt quite con
tented with the novel way of
spending.their vacation time. She
and Oscar have forgotten' about
the out.ide world, up there ln the
mountains. They have nothing
to remind them of civilization.
Their near neighbor, are trees,
birds, wild animal* and rocky
mountains. Over across the hills.

Word from Portland today in-,

called it a draw.
The 800 spectators hissed his
decision and showed general dis
satisfaction *f)ver the fight. Beu-i

Next year', amateur baseball

a* many "kid" leagues as ever

1916, and It 1h aaid that at least
four regularly organized circuits
will be in operation all season.
It la anticipated that there will
be two leagues of the caliber of
last season's City league. There
were several teams last year that
■ought admittance to the City
league but could not get In, in
cluding the Hojtkinß A. C. team,
and several others of similar
strength.
With two such leagues ln the
field baseball fans may expect an
