VII NUMBER 9 V THE ACT OF JUNE 30, 1890, Con- gress provided for the first real bat- tleship of this country. It is said that when the bill had been signed, the Secretary of the Navy, Benjamin F. Tracy sent for Lieutenant Lewis Nixon, then in the Constructor's Bureau and said to him informally: "Now sir, what you've to do is to design a ship that can lick anything afloat." And Lieutenant Nixon designed the Oregon, the most powerful ship of her time. Two 13-inch guns were placed in each of two main turrets located over the keel fore and aft. One turret was then located on each quarter and two 8-inch guns mounted therein. Along the side armrr walls were placed four 6-inch guns. She was equipped with twelve 3-inch for torpedo defense. When completed, the ship that looks so small in these days of dreadnaughts and super dreadnaughts, made a very imposing sight, and was reckoned by naval authorities to be par-excellence in battleship construction. The slii^ displaced nearly 10300 tons and the speed attained was 15.547 knots. Her armor varied from fifteen to eighteen inches in thickness. Now we have much speedier ships of more than twice The "Milwaukee" is the New Steel Trail. her tonnage and steaming radius, and while she is over- shadowed by her more powerful sisters of recent date, it is well to remember that the Oregon showed the people and Congress that battleships could be built cheaper and better in this country than in Europe. She was the first of a series of ships to follow that have made the American Navy feared and respected in every quarter of the globe. So we can look on the Oregon as the cornerstone of the modern American Navy. Designed as she was for a coast defense ship, yet she proved that in an emergency she was capable of carry- ing the war into the enemy's country. On Tuesday, July the 7th, 1896, the builders, The Union Iron Works of San Francisco, turned her over to the Government of the United States and she was accepted at 11:45 a. m., by Lieutenant E. M. Hughes, IT. S. N., on behalf of Rear Admiral Kirkland, commandant of the Mare Island Navy Yard. One week and one day later, almost to the hour on Wednesday, July 15, she went into commission, with Captain Henry L. Howison, commanding; Lieutenant Commander F. J. Drake, executive officer, and Lieutenant E. M. Hughes, navigator. When the Secretary of the Navy, John D. Long, made his report, dated November 15, 1897, a few months before the war with Spain, the Oregon, Massachusetts, Indiana and Iowa, comprised the battleship fleet of our navy. On March the 19th, 1898, she started on her memorable cruise from San Francisco to Key West, with Captain Clark commanding. Much has been said and written about that cruise, and indeed it was a remarkable per- formance for a "coast defense" vessel. The men in the "black gang" seem to have suffered most on this journey, on account of the poor ventilation in her fire rooms. Men in her fire rooms today say they have never experienced a hotter temperature anywhere than when steaming along at twelve knots. Indeed it is said that at the battle of Santiago, when the Colon was fleeing from the Oregon and Brooklyn, with the slower Texas astern, Chief Engineer Milligan went into the suffocating stokehold to personally cheer and enthuse the exhausted men who were gasping for breath but keeping steam up until a speed of perhaps eighteen knots was attained. And this on a vessel that Lowest rates on "The Milwaukee" to all points East. Stbrrtg only made 15.547 knots on her trial trip! Of such men is the American Navy composed. Tt was then that the impatient younger officers on deck asked Captain Clark to let them try a shot" and the Captain consented. The Chief Engineer came on deck black with coal dust to thank the Captain and say that his men were fainting below, but if they could hear a shot now and then they could live through and keep her going! During the war with Spain the Oregon demonstrated her right to the sobriquet of "Bull Dog" a familiar title, by which she has been known ever since. "Bull Dog of the Navy, hail! Again we greet you on the sea; Old ship that weathered rock and gale; Old ship that sought an enemy. Aye, sought and found, and on the quest Ten thousand miles of ocean swept: And, thundering round from out the West, A message from your muzzles leapt- A message we had counted on, And you delivered, Oregon. OUR NAVY. The Oregon demonstrated her sea-worthiness on the cruise around the Horn, but if any further proof is need-ed,, her behavior in a typhoon in 1902 is conclusive. She was 1 enroute to Yokohama to join the Asiatic fleet under the command of Rear Admiral Evans. The typhoon struck her at midnight. One enormous sea swept over the entire ship, crushing in the starboard pilot house. But good seamanship on a good ship brought her through it with no further damage. She escaped with a sound hull and was later repaired in a Japanese ship yard. The following officers have been in command of tlu i : Oregon from date of commission: Captain H. L.

John Doe, on April 16th, JS'f)7, was sentenced to five days B. & W. for late ham- mocks. Richard Roe got the same dose for smoking out of hours, and a summary court martial sentenced another offender to "3 & 30" for shirking duty. Nearly every day there was a mast report as long as your arm, many of them petty offences, and "B. & W." seemed to be the popular punishment, while restriction of shore liberty from three to six months was also often given as punish- ment. Thus we see how times have changed. The West coast newspapers are devoting lots of space to the recommissioning of the Oregon which shows that the grand old ship has not been forgotten by the American public. An effort is being made to have the Oregon the first ship to pass through the Panama Canal upon its completion in 1915 as a mark of honor. President Taft has been quoted as saying he would do every thing in his power to further this plan. The Oregon has had a glor- ious and useful career and this crowning achievement, if carried out, will wind up a history that any ship may ho proud of. That our shipmates who were chosen to take the Ore- gon south on her latest cruise were proud of their ship is evidenced by the rapidity with which they procured Oregon cap ribbons to replace their old Pennsylvania ribbons. Xow that the championship series is over, maybe \vo can find a little real war news from China in the papers. Most beautiful scenery in the world on the C. M. & P. S. Ry. Captain Chas F. Pond, commanding the Pacific Re- serve Squadron, comprising at present the battleship Oregon, armored cruiser Pennsylvania, protected cruiser St. Louis and the torpedo boats Fox and Davis, was born in Brooklyn, Windham county, Connecticut, on October the 26th, L8r>;. He entered the Naval Academy as a cadet Midshipman, June K>, 1872, and graduated therefrom in 1S7C. His first sea duty was on the U. S. S. Pensacola, flag ship, U. S. S. Lackawanna and U. S. S. Tuscorcra, Pacific station and California State Training Ship James- town. In 1879 he was promoted to Ensign, and until IS 8:-) served en [T. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey steamer "Hassler," surveying coasts of California and Alaska and making magnetic survey of coast and islands from San Salvador to Sitka, Alaska. In 188o he was engaged in the Hydrograi hie office, Washington. D. C. In 188 i-f, he s- rved on the U. S. S. Hartford, flagship, and the V. S. S. Waclmsett, Pacific station. In 1885 he was promoted to Lieutenant (,J. C.) and was :isKirned to the Naval Observatory, Mare Island, where Ii2 remained until 1887, serving four months on the "Hassler" in '86, surveying coast of California. From 1887-90 served on the U. S. S. Ranger, surveying the coast of lower Cali- fornia. From 1891-94 was in charge of the Naval Ob- servatory. .Mare Island, Cal., having been promoted to Lieutenant. From '94 to % 97 was attached to U. S. S. Alert, Pacific station, as navigator and senior watch officer, in summer of 1894 on Bering Sea patrol. In 1897 he was. assigned as Assistant Inspector of Ordi- nance, Navy Yard, New York. At the breaking out of the war with Spain he put the Collier Lebanon into commis- sirn at Boston, and from April to October served as Navi- gator on the U. S. S. Panther with Rear Admiral Samr- scn's fleet on north coast of Cuba in search of Cevera's fleet. After that fleet was located at Santiago, Cuba, Seventy hours Seattle to Chicago via C. M. & P. S. transported marines to Guantanamo and took part in the three days fighting there. After the capitulation of Santi- ago, he transported troops to Montauk Point. From 1898 to 1902 he commanded the U. S. S. Iroquois, station ship at Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands. In 1901 he made a survey of the Midway Islands for cable station. While temporarily in command of the naval station, Hono- lulu, he located and made reservation of Naval Station, Pearl Harbor, and assisted the U. S. District Attorney in passing condemnation ^ffifigdjps through the U. S. Dist- rict Court and the U. S.^Cour^of .Appeals, San Francisco, Cal., securing for $100,000 land^easehold interests valued at over $1,000,000. In 1899 he was promoted to Lieutenant Commander. In 1902 he went to the Naval Training Station, San Francisco, Cal., remaining until 1904. In 1903 he superin- tended for the Government the landing of the Pacific cable at the Midway Islands. In 1904-5 he commanded the U. S. S. Supply, station ship at Guam. In 1905 he was promoted to Commander, and assigned to the Navy Yard, Mare Island, as aid to the Commandant and Inspector of Ord- nance in charge of Naval Magazine at that station. In the winter of 1905-6 he commanded the U. S. S. Lawton on a record speed trip to Cavite and return. In 1907 he assumed command of the U. S. S. Buffalo and proceeded north on the Bering Sea patrol, then lo- cated and reserved naval coaling station of 3150 acres on Resurrection Bay, Alaska, which when the Matamiska coal fields are opened up, will undoubtedly be the source of fuel supply for the Navy in the Pacific Ocean. He was Light House Inspector of the 13th district, Portland, Ore., during the years 1908-9, and while so serving recommended over 150 additional aids to naviga- tion in Alaskan waters, many of which have since been established. In 1909 he was promoted to Captain and in July as- sumed command of the U. S. S. Pennsylvania, which po- sition he has held to date. The Pennsylvania entered dry dock October 17. We still linger, and from present appearances are due to stay a couple of weeks yet. The "Columbian" leaves Seattle 7:15 p. m. every day via The Milwaukee. When one of our new sh'ps went into commission the crew got their heads together and decided that the ship must have a mascot. Dogs, cats, goats etc. , were recommended, but still they could not agree which one to choose. Finally it decided to consult old Billy Thompson, the ships quarter-master, who could tell about mascots etc., as far back as '61. The committee on mascots marched in a body to'Billy's quarters and explained the situation to him. Leisurely lighting his pipe, Billy said: "Maties, they don t put a ship like this wun inter commishun every day, an' a ship widout er mascot is like er sailor wid er pipe an, no ter- baccer. "Now speakin' 'bout dorgs, I'm well 'sperienced wid 'em. I've bin sick, bited, and even been put in the Pie wagon over 'em. There's enuff dorgs aboard ship without gettin' any more. Now, we often has dorgs (sausages) fer breakfast, doors an' hatches has dorgs on 'em (clamps used for secur- ing), then there's the dorg watch (a shift of watches to change the hours), an' wunce I got ther pie wagon fer fet- chin a liva dorg orf (a full bottle of liquor), and dog gast it I got thutty days fer it. 'We's dont need no dorg. They sez er dead borg tells no talea, so anything but er dorg will fill ther billet. Herman Ebeneez^r, who had overheard the consultation remarked to the committee on mascots: \P11 be dog gurnelled if I dont send for Dad's mooley calf, if youse fellers will pay the freight." P. S. - - The mooley calf arrived 0. K. but met its fate in the Galley. From Man-o-war Yarns in THE AMERICAN BATTLESHIP IN COMMISSION. ''Van" is the Blue Jacket's friend. (CONTINUED FROM LAST MONTH) At just five minutes to eight o'clock John entered the railroad offices and reported to the head clerk in charge. "Ah, lets see, what is your name?" he asked John, and on being informed, made a rumbling noise in his throat that reminded John of his former skipper, when he had a man before him at the mast. In fact he was almost prepared to hear "deck court," but instead was told where to rr- port to work. John found his fellow workman very accommodating and pleasant fellows to get along with, and it was only a matter of a few hours until he had mastered the details of his job and was getting along fine. He found that his work was not hard, but demanded a close attention to dr- tail and mistakes were not tolerated. When a batch of bills left his hands they went to another man higher up for verification, so he learned to be very careful. As the days went by John learned many things about life in the civil world, things that he had not dreamed of before. For instance he had supposed that discipline was an unknown factor outside the military service, but he was beginning to see that discipline existed everywhere. Whenever the General Freight Agent made his appear- ance in the office there was quite a flurry and buzz of excitement and turning of heads to get a sight of the great man. John compared him to an Admiral and came to the conclusion that the service was not the only place where an exalted position rates attention. Even the head clerk was quite an important personage and when he spoke to any one that person moved with alacrity. Everything went to show that in any walk of life the boss man was It, whether he wore gold lace in a military service, or Dungarees on a contract job. John had worked in his new position about two weeks before anything hapepned to get him "in bad." The alarm clock which he had purchased, failed to awaken him one morning and when he did wake up he saw to his horror Seventy hours Seattle to Chicago via C. M. & P. S. fell 1 1 that it was nearly nine o'clock. Hastily dressing he set out for the office, stopping at a little lunch counter barely long enough for a cup of coffee. "I wonder what they do to a fellow for being overtime," he mused, and he remembered seeing a card over the chief clerk's desk that said sqmething about promptness being the chief virtue. Not knowing what was in store for him he felt a little nervous and when he reached the office and went in to report to the chief clerk he was conscious of an uncom- fortuble feeling in his chest, and found himself continually throwing back his shoulders as though to rid himself of this feeling. "And what is the matter with you this morning, Mr. Carter, if 1 may ask," his chief asked him. So John told him a'. out the defective clock. The chief listened until he had finished, then delivered himself of the following: "Mr. Carter, this company, and I might add, no other company, will long tolerate a man who comes late to his work, in the first place it denotes unreliability, something we have no use for in our employees. In the second place, the company pays you for full eight hours of your time every day, and when you come late they are paying for something they do not get. That is all; don't let it happen again." John walked away feeling slightly relieved, and it must be confesesd, a little hot under the collar. "Gee," said he .to himself, "that was some bawling out for just an hour and a half late." But that evening he bought a new aalrm clock. One Sunday John took a car out to a park on a hill overlooking the city. One of his fellow workmen had told him that a beautiful view of the city could be obtained there. He found that the attractions of the place had not been exaggerated in the slightest. The city lay stretched at his feel, almost every detail showing in the clear mountain air. To the south of the city lay the harbor, filled with shipping and what was that long "war-colored" ship with military mast? As he lived, it was his old ship, at anchor in the bay. When did she arrive, he wondered. Sho had gone north again shortly after he had been dis- charged. Some of his former shipmates might be in the city now. He would go back to town and look them up, A "Milwaukee" Ticket Office right in Bremerton. and failing to find them he would go aboard in the after- noon. But his eyes were attracted to the old ship again. Didn't she look graceful with her tall funnels in perfect alignment, the sun glinting on the black muzzles of her turret guns? Every line and curve and angle bespoke speed and power. Her sombre coat of "war-color" added a touch of grimness to the picture that was slightly re- lieved by the brightness of the bit of bunting on her flagstaff astern, the Colors. John unconsciously removed his cap and drew a deep breath, his eyes glistening from some emotion it would have been hard for him to describe. A wave of some feeling, something like homesickness swept over him. Long he looked and steady. He could see white clad figures moving about on her decks looking like pygmies in the distance. Suddenly from afar came the silvery tones of a bugle. He listened intently, marveling meanwhile that he had never before noticed the exquisite beauty of the bugle notes. They were calling away the second steamer. He watched the steamer cast loose from the boom and describing a perfect arc, approach the gangway. He turmd away, conscious of a peculiar gnawing feeling in his breast. "Why," he asked himself, "should he be so affected by such a commonplace scene, a scene he had witnessed hun- dreds of times at colse quarters?" The answer came with sickening force. He was lone- some. He wanted to go back. He wanted to be back among his old shipmates, among old familiar scenes. The freedom of the outside was losing its attraction. Im- mediately he began conjuring up a dozen reasons why he should not go back. He had a good position, and while promotion was not as rapid as he had expected, still it would come some day. His work was pleasant and hours comparatively short and after working hours he was his own boss. He tried to recall the feeling he had had in the South Sea Islands that time when for 48 hours at a stretch he had shoveled coal, an hour on and an hour off a time when the thermometer had registered 115 in the hold of the collier and the dust was so thick it could al- most be shoveled out. But it was no go. This picture, vivid enough at the time, failed to cause even a grimmace now. Deal with "Van" and get a square deai. JCtbrrtg 1011 13 All he could see was that calm stately ship with the beautiful lines riding peacefully at her anchor there in the harbor. His mind was made up. Tomorrow he would quit his job and go back in the service, among his kind, to live his kind of life. Did he live to regret his decision? Ask any second cruise man. j John is only an imaginary person and can't tell us. But the moral: "Go Inland." CUT IT REGULATION BY GOLLY! We have some girls on this old ship, Who wouldn't sign up for a barber slip, But some one put the First Luff hip; And, .they cut it regulation. By Golly! Both far and near the word was passed "Get that hair trimmed or you'll be classed When gum boot takes you to the mast." And, "Cut it regulation. By Golly." Montie stood by his red plush chair, Runnin' his fingers through auburn hair, When a bull-like voice rang thro' the air. "Cut it regulation. By Golly." He smiled a smile and the clippers whirls. As he clipped the hair of the sea goin' girls, And they looked like h 1 without their curls. 'Twas cut regulation, By Golly! As they all lined up at the port gangway, To go ashore on the liberty day, You could hear each one say, 'Twas cut regulation, By Golly!" But my short "butt" will soon roll 'round Then no more will they clip, my crown. I'll let 'er go till she grows righ down To my waist, By Golly! Jayhawker Mr. B. F. B. Wright, once professor of chemistry at Harvard, has perfected a powder that he claims to be three times as powerful as dynamite .and cannot be acci- dentally exploded. He states that its use on warships would prevent the damage done by the recoil of the large guns and would prolong the life of the weapons. Our Dmmg Car Service Unsurpassed on C. M. & P. S. 14 ffitteriu When the staff cartoonist casually remarked the other day in the presence of the office devil that he had drawn a series of pictures for one of our large service publica- tions which he had called dreams, the devil straightway had an inspiration of which the following sample is the awful result: DREAMS. Wunce I had a dream, A layin' on a chest, Twas awful hot an' I wus tired, An' I dreamed my very best. I didn't dream of bein' an Admiral, Like sailors generally does, Nor did I dream of war an' glory Nor liberty an' mess gear like alwus Comes to sailors, they say. No sir, Not I, by gum! I dreamed, an' gosh 'twas That I wus a seaman on Paw's ranch! I had the 12 to 2 on the starboard bridge, Down in the pasture, across the branch; An' Paw, he had the Deck, An' he sure wus rarin' 'round 'Caus the ace of spades wus missin' An' the frost wus hard aground! The "Milwaukee" is the New Steel Trail. gJUiprtg Irll An' he roars, roars he, "Messenger!" I jumped like I wus shot, an' none too soon "Messenger, bring the rabbit piece, "I'll have to shoot the moon! "For we're in uncharted seas, "An 1 our reckonin's dead, I guess. "An I hear the breakers a breakin' "Up our fall pasture by gum! An', yes "I hear the ringin' of the bell Made fast to old "Black Bess," A warnin' all good sailors that milkin' time Is here. ^ An' the wind is roarin' in the west Lot through the maples. Hark! at that dread sound the helmsman Threw the wheel clear over the barn; The skipper ('twas ma) came runnin' To learn what wus the alarm. An' Paw, he cries, cries he, "We're lost, sir! Shiver my timbers, by gum, there's no hope, Our starboard binnacle's afoul the binder An' our yearlin' colts are broke. An' the trackless fields are one wild mass Of weeds an' thistles an' snares, An' the wires are down 'round the oatfield green, An' the field is full of tares. Oh! save the ship, the captain cried, Then came an awful sound A rearm' from the chicken-room hatch Where the Plymouth Rocks abound. 'Tis the incubator, gone by the board, And the wail of the new-born chicks Could be plainly heard above the rustling Hay in the cattle ricks; And the smell of ' flapjacks burnin' Filled the frosty air, And all around wus wreck an' carnage, An' confusion everywhere. An' when it seemed that all wus lost, The bridge, the fields, an' all the rest, I woke with a pain in my starboard side, From sleepin' on a chest!

But to those upon whom the actual work falls the task becomes one of gigantic proportions, necessitating long hours of extra labor for men who already have their hands full. In the first place the store rooms of the ship are to be filled with provisions sufficient to last anywhere from three to ten months. All her equipment must be moved from the yard storerooms to the storerooms aboard ship. On the G. S. K. force falls the lot of taking care of this gear, enumerating it, putting it on the books under the proper titles and accounting for every little screw and nut. Men are working every day putting stores and equip- ment aboard. Then the ship's empty bunkers must be filled with coal. When she is coaled and equipped and pro- visioned and ready to have her crew assigned then the ship's writer and Master-at-Arms begin to take off their coats and go to work. Every man who comes aboard must have a certain billet, designated by a number which as- signs him his division, section and watch. He must have a certain place to swing and stow his hammock, a cer- tain place to eat, a certain cleaning station, etc. The ship's writer puts all this on the books and to the Chief Master- at-Arms falls the job of actually billeting and messing the ship. As near as possible he must get billets for a division in the same part of the ship. The messes must also be arranged in like manner. The ship has been equipped with enough tables and benches to accommodate the crew. The messes are laid out from No. 1 up, odd numbers on "Van" is the Blue Jacket's friend. ffitfortg Iril IT the starboard side, even numbers on the port side. All the mess gear used by each man must be drawn from the General Store Keeper of the ship and signed for by the Chief Master-at-Arms. Then each messman draws a lull set for each man on his mess and signs for the same. All this means lots of book work for the G. S. K. yeoman, for every little article drawn has to be entered on the books and accounted for. While all this is going on the heads of the various departments are having the time of their lives assigning their men to the various stations in their departments. In the Engineers department watch bills must be made out, men assigned to the various auxiliary machinery, such as ice machine, steering engine room, dynamo room, and mess cooks and compartment cleaners must be detailed. Every man must be assigned his cleaning station as in the deck force. In the Ordnance department gunner's mates and their strikers must be detailed for every gun, magazines must be inspected and powder tested and in fact every depart- ment on the ship is very busy. Of course some confusion is bound to exist for a few days, but thanks to discipline and system, things are working smoothly before many days. Chief Yeoman Baylor and Ship's Cook Bugman are demonstrating what can be done in the way of feeding a ship's company the "way mother used to." A little heat goes a long ways towards making grub palatable. Keep up the good work, fellows. And if you could only devise some way to heat up those cold stone dishes it would help some more, wouldn't it? Many may be surprised that we should publish this month, and indeed we are a little surprised ourselves, to see the book actually in print. It has been a hard month for ye editor. What four men did formerly, we have done all by our lonesome this month, and if we can't be proud of the result, we are at least proud of the effort.

The monitor Cheyenne and na\y yard lug Pawl ticket were placed in drydock October 11, for periodic docking and repairs. The protected cruiser St. Louis, has been ordered to take the place of the old wooden ship Pensacola as re- ceiving ship at the Naval Training Station at Yerba Beima, Cal., in San Francisco bay. Word was received from the navy department to get the St. Louis in readiness for the cruise to San Francisco as soon as practicable. The St. Louis was several months ago under orders to succeed the old wooden receiving ship Independence at the Mare Island yards, but on assignment of the St. Louis to the Pacific reserve fleet, the St. Louis' former orders were annulled. The assignment of the ST. Louis to the San Francisco training station is following out the policy announced by the navy department of abolishing the use of wooden scis as receiving ships. Assistant Paymaster W. R. Van Buren has been trans- ferred from the Mare Island Navy Yard to duty as assist- ant to the general storekeeper of this yard. Commander Kuenzli, U. S. N., reported for duty Satur- day, as inspection officer of the navy yard. Bremerton's business section will be afforded the pro- tection of the salt water mains of the navy yard in fighting fire, if the recommendations of Rear Admiral V. L. Cott- man, U. S. N., commandant of the navy yard, are approved by the navy department. This will give Bremerton a fire protection system not surpassed by any other city of the Northwest, with volume and pressure sufficient to suc- cessfully combat any blaze. The commandant, in a communication to the city coun- cil Oct. 9, expressed a willingness to recommend that the city be allowed to connect with the salt water mains, pro- vided the city will be willing to comply with certain rules and regulations which the navy department will exact. The commandant was notified of the city's willingness to comply. The "Olympian" leaves Seattle 10:15 a. m. every day C. M. & P. S. Ry. Stbgrtg 2fcll 19 Word from the Mare Island navy yard has it that the cruiser Albany, now in Asiatic waters, will go to Mare Island early next year, for a complete overhauling. The Albany has heretofore made her home port at the Bremer- ton yard. On Monday, October 30, the working hours of the navy yard were changed to conform with the short winter days. The workmen are allowed only a half hour at noon, and the yard shuts down at 4:30 every evening, instead of 5 o'clock. This schedule will remain in effect until about the middle of February. NEWS FROM THE PHILADELPHIA. Sixty men were enlisted between Oct. 1st and 27th. The football team of the Philadelphia defeated the U. S. S. Pennsylvania with a score of 20 to 0, and the Muck- lucks of Seattle, with a score of 131 to 0. Thirty G. C. M. prisoners are expected from the Navy Yard, Mare Island, Cal., via the U. S. S. Oregon, for con- finement on the Nipsic. Paymaster R. B. Lupton reported aboard for duty as the relief of Paymaster T. J. Bright, U. S. N., ordered to the Asiatic station. Mate W. O. Lamb will, upon re-enlistment Nov. 10, 1911, be transferred to the U. S. S. Pensacola for duty. Paymaster John M. Hancock, U. S. N., is coaching the Philadelphia football team and is also acting in the ca- pacity of captain. The Phila's football team will play the following games during November: Nov. 4 University of Puget Sound, at Tacoma. Nov. 11 Multnomah Club, at Portland. Nov. 14 Vancouver Barracks, at Vancouver, Wash. Nov. 19 Rainier Valley Athletic Club, at Seattle. C. F. Marqiiardt, Yeo.

The Philadelphia prides itself in having in Neil Roy, one of the best and most conscientious commissary stew- ards in the service. Roy came to the Philadelphia from the Pennsylvania. Our Dining Car Service Unsurpassed on C. M. & P. S. The Philly team tasted defeat at the hand of the We- natchee team, one of the fastest teams in the Northwest, at Wenatchee 26-0. This is the only beating that the Philly team has received to date and let's hope that iis her last. But a few days later she took revenge on the light, but game, Mucklucks of Seattle, running up and down the field until she had a total of 131 points. The Philly team outweighed the Hardlucks 20 pounds, but the Haplucks were game although they could do nothing against the strong team they were playing at the time mentioned. The Philly used the forward pass and got away with it nine out of every ten attempts. But as the game was never in doubt, a little kicking for field goals would have been to the liking of all hands also for the better- ment of the team, but they failed to try for any field goals, so the game ended with the Philly headed for another touchdown. The Bremerton crack baseball team lost to the Seattle professionals 2-0. Although Gordon pitched a good game his team mates failed to hit the Seatle twirlers to ad- vantage, therefore the Bremerton squad was whitewashed. For the second consecutive year the Philadelphia Ath- letics won the highest honors in baseball, beating the "in- vincibles" known in all departments of the game. It was undoubtedly the greatest world's series ever staged, as the first five games played were anybodys game, neither side scoring over 4 runs. But the great Mathewson arid the famous ,Rube Marquard proved to be easy marks for the hard hitting Athletics, although they did not hit either very hard. The Giants failed to show that speed for which they were noted, and the Athletics romped away with the final game at Philadelphia, 13-2. They made as many runs in the last game as the Muggsyites accumu- lated in six games. The teams were evenly matched be- fore the series, to most of the scribes, but now the tale has been transferred.

On Saturday, October 4th, our football team journeyed "ib Fort' Warden, only to "be defeated by the soldier team of that place, 59-0. It was our first game of the season and Captain Sloane's bunch of pig skin artists did well to hold the strong fort team to 59 points. The result 'of the game lies in the fact that the soldiers used the on-side kick and the forward pass quite frequently and managed to get away with it nearly every time. But Later in the month we gave the Phillies the game ci their career, although we lost 20-0. The game was en- livened with many sensational plays on both sides. Be- fore the game all hands were figuring how many hundred points the Philly aggregation would roll up against us, but immediately after the game got under way the tune swayed. The game opened with Philly receiving the ball and after many failures at the forward pass she rt- ; turned the ball to us. We managed to get through with a 'couple of passes for gains but lost the ball to the Philly i earn on a fumble. After the Philly team saw that it : was useless to try and hold us from going through her ;line and breaking up her play in the backfield before the quarter could pass the ball, the strange parr of it was that. she still used the same line of defense. After ten minutes 01 play the first period ended with the score standing 2-0 in favor of the Philly bunch, as she scored a safety. In ; the second period we managed to hold our c\vn and then some for Captain Sloane was playing the game of his life, breaking up her team work and getting their goats (in the side. He had the Phillies all going sideways. Although we were unable to cross the Phillie's line we de- fended ours to perfection and the second period ended .with the score reading 2-0. The features of the first half was the all-around playing of our peerless leader, Captain Sloane, and the snappy play of Storman, our lightning end. During the intermission the Philly team was some- what worried as they had failed to cross our line for a touchdown in the first half of the game. Our team \v,,. considerably fagged for they had to exert themselves to the limit to hold the opposing team safe. The third quar- ter opened with a rush and after a few minutes of play ii The "Columbian" leaves Seattle 7:15 p. m. every day via The Milwaukee. gjibprtj? 1011 2,3 was seen that the strain was telling on us and the Phillies planted the ball safely between our goal for the first touch- down of the game the goal was kicked and the score : -tood, at the end of the third period, 8-0. All Philly. The last period saw our last stand; we were fighting to hold the score down Quarterback Sloane was doing great work jind had the rest of the team doing the same but the Philly backfield began to let itself be known and before many minutes of play she had crossed our line for the second touchdown of the game. On the try for the goal ihe ball sailed clean on one of the prettiest kicks ever seen on the local grounds. This made the score look like 14-0. We had the goose egg, or whatever you want to call it. The Philadelphia backfield was the whole team in this same, for her line was weak time and again our ends broke up their plays in the backfield before the quarter could pass the ball. The backs were wondering how they were being copped in the act eight out of ten times. But that but again their backs were our down- fall as they managed to score again after several attempts at the forward pass, a few of which succeeded, and to make things look right (for the Phillie crowd) the ball went over our goal on the kick and the score was advanced six points, making a total of twenty. That was the last score of the game and at 20-0 the final happenings read. The features of the second half were the playing of Sloane, then more Sloane, and the great offensive work of the Phillie's backs, as it was the Philly backs that beat us in that memorable game. On October loth we again put. on our traveling togs and when the baggage was unloaded and we looked around for the town we found, after much searching for an inhabitant, that we were in the noble town or city of Ren ton. Did you get that? Renton! Well, how they got a team out that place is hard to say, but they had one just the same. After some rough playing (we were sup- posed to get beat, so the Renton bugs thought) in which we were penalized for being on sides, off sides, gaining or almost anything, we finally managed to put the ball over the line for a touchdown. Like the town, we will make the score small; for after the battle it was found that Sloane and his Pennsy tribe had triumphed to the tune of 5-0, as we had failed to kick the goal on the try.

"All is quiet along the Potomac." The saying holds true at the Association building. The men of the Pennsyl- ania who were transferred to the Oregon are greatly missed. Word which came from other branches of the Navy Y. M. C. A. during the past month indicates the growing in- terest of the service in Association activities. Brooklyn and Norfolk are pushing their Fall educational work and many men are taking advantage of the courses of study offered. Vallejo and San Francisco report active times while the fleet was in. The illustrated lecture on the Panama Canal by Edwin R. Gobrecht of Boone, Iowa, on October 14th was very interest- ng and instructive. As a result of the recent membership campaign 82 men from the U. S. P. Pennsylvania joined the Association. Thanks are due to all who had a part in boosting the interest of the Association. Membership is a growth. Let present members keep the question alive and growth will come. Announcement is made at this time of the Union Revival services to be conductd by Rev. and Mrs Wm.

What, with putting other ships in com- mission, filling their holds with stores arid their bunkers with coal, and the large amount of work to be done on our own old Pennsy, all hands are kept exceedingly busy and it is a safe bet that no one will be sorry to leave. In Norfolk, the ship's papers are considerably agir-\ted over the refusal of the Retail Merchants Association to endorse them as advertising mediums. It would almost seem as though the Norfolk merchants didn't want the Bluejackets' patronage. If, however, the men were denied liberty in Norfolk, this same association would imdoubtr edly lost no time in finding out why, and doing their ut- most to relieve the situation.
