EASTERN COLLEGES
IN BIG ALLIANCE.
NEW YORK. Dec. 13. —A triple foot
ball allianctoamong Yale, Harvard and
Princeton is the latest thing in the
i making of the schedule of games for
the next season.
A deal of this kind has been rumored
for some time and at the recent Har
vard-Yale game representatives of all
three colleges got together and talked
the matter over. Yale already plays
Harvard and Princeton, so it only re
mains for Princeton and Harvard to
schedule a game and the arrangement
is completed.
According to one w ho is on the inside
the deal has been practically made.
Formal papers will be signed soon,
when the dates of the games will be
fixed. Princeton and Harvard have not
played each other since 1896.
It was suggested at the conference
that the deal be made four-cornered,
which would take in Pennsylvania.
This was agreeable on the whole, but
the prejudice Of some of the influential
Princeton graduates will have to he
overcome before the scheme can be put
through.

sociation delivered an interesting ad
' dress before the body. He spoke prin
cipally regarding the coming conven
,tion and as a conclusion talked enter
[tainingiy on tne brilliant prospects of
(the Walla Walla valley as a fruit rais
; ing country.
"We have the soil and the climate,"
isaid Mr. Ritz, "now all we need is
j
(the energy. When I came to the valley
jin 1889. I saw some of the finest ap
jpl. s that ever grew. In fact tiner ap-
I pies than were produced in the Yakima
ior Hood River country, and I will go
on record as Raying that we are capa
ble of producing just such fruit in the
[future. We all know that fortunes
have been made by fruit raising—care-
Iful fruit raising, and Walla Walla val
ley can be made to produce the finest
!fruit on earth."
| "I firmly believe that to increase the
! population of Walla Walla it is abso
lutely necessary to chop up the big
[farms into smaller tracts. These mat
ters will be thoroughly threshed out at
jthe coming convention, however, so it
lis not necessary for me to explain

! Walla will enter men who understand

FAVORS CHANGE IN
SYSTEM OF SCORING.
NEW YORK, Dec. 13.—Harry Pull
liam, president of the National league,
thinks it is an injustice to a batter who
brings in a run from third bas,- on a
long fly to the outfield to charge him
with a time at bat. This play often
wins games fully as much as a base hit
and Pulliam says he will advocate a
change in the rules whereby a batter
sending out such a fly or a grounder
so difficult to handle that the play
cannot be made at the plate shall be
exempt from a time at bat.
"There are some players." he says,
"who always are sure to hit the bah
when men are on bases and frequently
win games by so doing; yet they get no
credit for what they have aciom
plished."
Pulliam thinks there should be a
change in the scoring system which
would give credit to the batter bringing
in runs. Reform in the pitching rules is
another change advocated by Pulliam.
He is opposed to allowing the pitehet's
box to be raised above the level of the
diamond..."The pitcher's box at the Po
lo grounds is on the .evel with the rest
of the diamond," he observes, "and I
maintain that you get a correct line on
the ability of a pitcher on this ground."

Multnomah Club Wants Good Football
Game for New Year's D«\y.
Multnomah Club is casting about for
a New Year's day football game in
Portland, and is at a loss to decide
what team to' play. It has a chance to
play several elevens, and wants to play
several others on that day, but so far
has reached no understanding with
any. The latest report received by
President George McMillan today was
that the St. Louis university team has
definitely decided to play the Washing
ton State college in Spokane, Christmas
and the Seattle club in Seattle, tfew
Year's. That can scarcely be, because
Seattle and Spokane are scheduled tb
play in Seattle New Year's day.
Multnomah would like to play the St.
Louis team, but failing in that, is anx
ious to meet the crack W. S. C. team.
Correspondence is being taken up with
Manager Lilligren for a game here New
Year's day, and it Wii] be a rare treat
for the Portland fans if it is secured.

not Colon that Peter wants, but the

(denies that he sells his famous tamales

ture of the goods unless they wish to
Ibe mislead.
; "My husband won't stand for their
jwork." indignantly replied Mrs. Ar

the nature of the trouble. "Colon make;

other people who manufacture them

--000,000 annually to be used for the Im
provement of the national waterways.
Professor W. D. Lyman who ac

dent S. B. L. Penrose's adress before
the Walla Walla county Sunday school
convention to be n.dd in the Presby
terian church this evening. The ad
dress will be devoted to the great work
of the Sunday school. When the mem
bers of the committee in charge of the
program asked Dr. Penrose to address
the assembly on the subject, he readily
complied with their request with the
provision that no restrictions be placed
upon his remarks. It is presumed that
the feature of his address will be in
reference to the advisability of reform
ing the Sunday school from a purely
religious gathering to a Sunday school
as interpreted by the true meaning of
the word.

FRUIT COMPANY
SUFFERS LOSS
POOR CAR SERVICE PLAYS HAVOC
WITH LOCAL FRUIT
DEALERS. o
Because of the inadequate car ser
vice furnished shippers of Walla Walla
(luring the fruit season, the Blalock
Fruit company considers its financial
loss between 918,946 and $20.0<>0 lor the
season.
"During the early season." said
Manager.C. E. Nosier, last evening,
l"the companies asked us to give an es
timate on the number of cars needed.
We gave them the information desired
|and immediately entered into contracts
with fruit ranchers for their produce.
During the season we purchased fruit
to the usual extent, but when we were
ready to ship we were unable to secura
a sufficient number of cars. Before tiie
railroad companies were abi • to sup
ply our demand, the price of fruit was.
greatly reduced. Apples which were
selling on the market for $1.50 to $2
per case was reduced to $0.75 and $t
per case. We figure our loss all told,
between SIMM and $20,000 for the
season."
MOVE CONVICTS TO MONROE
WILL RETURN TO WORK ON THE
ROADS AFTER REFORMATORY
IS COMPLETED.
A sang of convicts from the state
penitentiary. employed for several
months on public highways in <»kam>-
jgan county, wil. be removed to the
state reformatory at Monroe, according
to J. H. Davis, a member of the state
bo nd of control, who is arranging for
the transportation of the convicts to
Monroe. The rapid approach Of winter
in Okanogan county, making it ini|>os
sible to work the convicts at a profit,
is fffareti SS the reason for (hanging
them to Monroe to wofll on the neV
state reformatory.
After work under way at Monroe is
completed, the c onvi< ts will probably _
be returned to the penitentiary for the
winter, although this matter has not
b en fuliy decided upon. The experi
ment of working convirts or. public
work has been found to be satisfactory
and arrangements will probably be
made to work adidtional men next year.
The risk of prisoners escaping has
been reduced to a minimum.
