5GHILLER5 THE VICTORS
WIN FROM TRUNKMAKERS BY
4-3 IN TEN INNINGS.
Game Is Good Exhibition and Is
Watched by Large Crowd Which
Shows Keen Interest.
Before an audience which filled the
large grandstand at Recreation Park
from end to end the Schillers yesterday
afternoon defeated the Portland Trunk
Company by a score of 4-3 after ten in
nings of constant ball playing.
eldom are two . amateur teams bo
evenly matched and so well versed In
the game as were those which faced
each other yesterday. The game was a
beautiful pitcher's battle between the
clever southpaw Taylor far the Trunk
makers, and the speedy Rich Parrott for
the Cigarmakers. The honors fell slight
ly with the lefthander for he did not re
ceive as good support et the bat as did
his opponent. Excitement was intense
throughout the match, as not only a
great exhibition of the frame was put up
but the result in a moasure influenced
the championship of the City League.
The Trunkmakers tallied first in the
second Inning on hits by Day and
Brown. In the fouth Alex Oliver got on
for the Schillers and Houston brought
blm in with a clean drive. Each team
annexed another in the sixth and Joe
Fay made it one more for the Schillers
in the seventh. In their half of the
ninth Van Nortwick tied up things for
the Trunkmakers, coming in on a deep
drive to center field made by Antolne. In
the tenth the Schillers got to Taylor for
enough hits to win, Oliver bringing in the
deciding run.

NEW SWIMMING RECORD.
r
Walter Abeck Said to Have Crossed
River and Back In 20 Minutes.
Walter Abeck, a young man employed
as draftsman at the Willamette Iron &
Steel Works, yesterday afternoon swam
from Bundy's float to the west shore of
the river and returned, without leaving
the water, in the remarkable time of 20
minutes. G. I. Bentley, A. B. Grimes and
E. W. Kincaid paced Abeck in a boat,
and they vouch for the correctness of the
time. The exact width of the river at
Bundy's is not known. Captain Bundy
says it is three-fourths of a mile across,
but others say that it is less than a half
mile. At any rate, Abeck's performance
is a noteworthy one, as the American
record for the mile swim is said to be 24
minutes.
Abeck has had long experience as an
amateur swimmer. He Is willing to meet
any one in the city in a match race. Those
who witnessed Abeck's swim yesterday
said he falrjiy tore through the water and
that after accomplishing his feat he was
little fatigued.
WOODBURNS ARE CHAMPIONS
Defeat New-berg Nine In Hotly-Contested
Game at St. Paul.,
WOODBURN, Or., Aug. B. (Special.)
In a game today for the championship of
the Willamette Valley, Woodburn defeat
ed the Newberg baseball team at St.
Paul by a score of 8 to 1. The feature
of the game was the heavy hitting of
the Woodburn team. The batteries were:
Woodburn. Concannon and Huddleson;
Newberg, Springer and Bryan.
This undoubtedly makes Woodburn
champion of the Willamette Valley and
probably of -the state. The team has
been defeated but once this season.
Camas Defeats Troutdalei
TROUTDALE, Or., Aug. 5. (Special.)
Camas defeated Troutdale at base
ball today by the overwhelming score
of 10-1. A large crowd witnessed the
match which, despite the onesided
ness of the score was interesting
throughout. Effger and Laws formed
the battery for the visitors while Wal
lace and Murphy held down similar po
sitions for the home team,
READY FOR
International Tournament at
Tacoma Tomorrow. ,
CRACK PLAYERS ENTERED
Pick of Experts From Oregon, Wash
lngton and British Columbia
to Compete Goss to Defend
Singles Championship.
TACOMA, Wash., Aug. 6. (Special.) At
the Tacoma Lawn Tennis Club all is in
readiness for the big tournament which
is to commence next Tuesday and con
tinue the balance of the week. The house
and grounds, overlooking the Sound, fur
nish an ideal setting for the event, and
the courts are in perfect condition and
will be very fast and true. Never before
has Tacoma had the honor of holding the
international tournament, and this, com
bined with the club's regular annual open
tournament, held at the same time, will
make it the biggest and most Important
affair of the kind ever held In Tacoma.
Indeed, tho entry list bids fair to make
it the tanner tennis meeting of the Pa
cific Coast.
At one or two former tournaments, as
many as eight or ten of the "flrst-class"
men were present, breaking the record
for the number of interesting and closely
contested matches of expert tennis. But
this year it seems that there will be at
least 10 or 20 men of the first class, and
unquestionably great tennis will be seen
every day. The leading players who will
rwnter are: McBurney, present interna
tional champion: Goss, present North Pa
cific champion; Sam Russell and Joe Ty
ler, and also Moore and Ballingher, of
Seattle; Wlckersham and Bellinger, of
Portland; Wildes and Barry, of Everett;
Payne, the new man at Tacoma, and sev
eral from Bellingham; also a number from
Spokane, coming over with MoBurney;
Olympia will also be represented in both
tournaments.
British Columbia Entries.
There are so many first-class players
from the British side of the line that it
is impossible to say who will represent
the foreign clubs in the internationals un
til the entries areteceived. Schwengers
and Macrae are expected to defend their
title, and A. T. Goward usually attends
the Tacoma tournaments, and R. H.
Pooley is still one of their best ones.
Hilton. Stevens, Chickmay and others of
Vancouver have signified their Intention
Of entering. Each American club will
likely be represented by its two best
players, and if the Britishers do as well
there will be 22 of the best men in the
country in tae restricted event alone, and
many more !ri the open events.
The programme is to play the Interna
tionals off first, the finals on Wednesday
and the challenge round on Thursday, this
making the first three days as interesting
as the final days in ordinary' years. On
Friday the finals in the men's open dou
bles will likely be reached, and the semi
finals in the open singles and mixed dou
bles. The annual tennis ball will be held
at the Tacoma Hotel Friday night. Sat
urday will see the finals in the men's
singles, mixed doubles and the ladies' sin
gles and ladles' doubles.
Two Tournaments in One.
The tournament is really two in one.
This is the 16th annual tournament played
at Tacoma under the auspices of the
United States National Lawn Tennis As
sociation, being awarded to this club as a
fixture, and carries with it the authorized
championships' of the Pacific Northwest,
in five events, open to all comers, as fol
lows: Ladies' singles, ladies' doubles,
men's singles, men's doubles and mixed
doubles. It is managed entirely by the
Tacoma club through its tournament com
mittee, consisting of Arthur Remington,
chairman; Mrs. William V. Burrill, Mrs.
Paul J. Fransioll, Miss Jessie Kershaw,
William P. Trowbridge, Frank T. Payne
and P. J. Fransioll, secretary. Herbert
S. Griggs is the official referee.
The international tournament Is In Its
third year, and is arranged on an entire
ly different plan, being held each year in
a different city. It is not an open tour
nament, but is restricted to two entries in
singles and one entry in doubles from
each club belonging to the association.
The North Pacific International Lawn
Tennis Association was suggested by Bob
bie Powell, whose whole heart was in
the game, and it was organized at a
meeting at the Union Club in Tacoma,
the lawn tennis clubs of Victoria, Van
couver, B. C, Seattle. Tacoma and Port
land being represented. The first tour
nament was held in Victoria two years
ago. and ail the honors were captured by
Victoria.
McBurney Wins Championship.
The second tournament was held in
Portland, when W. A. McBurney, of Spo
kane, first made his appearance on the
scene and surprised the West Siders by
capturing the championship in singles,
the doubles going to Victoria, through
the good work of Schwengers and Mac
rae. Meanwhile Spokane and Olympia
had Joined the association, and this year
Everett and Bellingham have been ad
mitted, "there being strong players at all
these points.
The entrance of the James Bay Ath
letic Club of Victoria and the Irving
ton Lawn Tennis Club of Portland,
gives these cities the distinction of
having two clubs that -are members of
the association entitling those cities
to four single players and two double
teams.
The association is governed by a
board of directors consisting of two
delegates from each club. The board
elects its own officers, and awards the
annual tournament, upin application,
to some "club in the association. Arthur
Remington, of Tacoma and Olympia,
was its first president; A. T. Goward,
of Victoria, Its second, and William V.
Burrill, of Tacoma, is the, present in
cumbent. The regular annual meeting
of the association will be held at Ta
coma during the coming week when
new officers will be elected. Vancou
ver Is an aspirant for the next year's
tournament.
The principal events are represented
by trophies or cups. The Multnomah
cup was presented by that club last
year, and represents the international
championship in singles, now held by
McBurney, of Spokane, who will defend
his title. '
The Tacoma Lawn Tennis Club pre
sents to the international association
this year a pair of cups for the doubles
championship to be played for under
such regulation as the association may
prescribe.
Goss to Defend Thome Cup.
In the open tournament, the famous
Thorne cup, now held by Walter A.
Goss, of Portland, represents the sin
gles championship and is the chief tro
phy to be contested for on account of
its interesting history and associa
tions. It must be won three times in
succession to become the property of
the winner. Foulkes and Freeman
came the nearest to winning It. but it
also shows the names of George Hurd,
Sam Russell, Bob Breeze and Goss, the
best of the players on this side.
The Tacoma club has this year also
put up a pair of fine cups for the.
doubles championship of the Pacific
Northwest, to become the property of
the player winning them three times.
There Is also the Ashton cup for
ladles' singles, and many other valu
able cups and prizes to become the
property of the winners. When this
array of beautiful silverware was set
out on the counter the other day, it
seemed to the reporter that the club
must have invested at least $500 in
prizes, all of which are donated by the
club.
Entries should be received (by mail
or wire) by P. .J. Fransioll, Tacoma, by
noon, Monday, August 8, at which
time the drawings will be made. Play
will begin Tuesday morning, and it is
necessary that the international play
ers be on hand Tuesday morning, in
order to finish that event . in time to
bring off the open.
AUTOMOBILE CXUB " RETURNS
Party of 21 Makes Enjoyable Ran
to Foot of Mount Hood.
The members of the Portland Automo
bile Club who made the run to Mount
Hood returned last evening with glowing
accounts of the trip. Leaving the Court
house at 1:30 Saturday, the party. 21 in
all, in seven machines, reached the stop
ping place near the base of the mountain
about 7 o'clock. The night was spent at
the mountain resorts and yesterday morn
ing the automoblllsts amused themselves
in divers ways. Some rested until time
to begin the run home, while some few
of the more energetic ones pushed on
over hills and rough roads as far up the
slope as possible.
The run back was taken in easy stages
and was made in five hours, the last ma
chines reaching the city at 8 o'clock. The
club members were much Interested In the
progress of the repair work on the Bar
low Road. They say that but little that
is effective can be done without the ex
penditure of a considerable sum of money.
As it is the road is passable, but fast
time cannot now be made over It.
V WELCOME HARVARD CREW.
London Newspapers Think Coming
Race Will Be Epoch Making.
LONDON, Aug. 6. The visit to Eng
land of the Harvard oarsmen is warm
ly welcomed by the London newspapers
this morning, and their race with the
Cambridge crew is awaited with the
keenest interest.- This interest is
heightened because the Americans use
the same style of rowing- as the Eng-f
lish. Hope is generally expressed that
this visit may result in an annual race
between the winners of the Oxford
Cambridge and Yale-Harvard contests.
The Tribune says it will be an epoch
making race, and one of the biggest
things in the sport The Dally Tele
graph says there is no doubt that the
Cambridge crew will be fully author
ized by the "Blues" committee as a
representative university combination,
and adds that Harvard rowers will not
accept any of the hospitable challenges
which have already begun to reach
their captain.

DOMINICANS OBSERVE DAY
ROSARY CHURCH CELEBRATES
FEAST OP ST. DOMINIC.
Decorations of Altar Are Beantlful
and Music Appropriate to the
Occasion Is Rendered.
The solemn celebration of St. Domi
nic's feast took place yesterday fore
noon in the Rosary Church. (Dominican)
on Union avenue. A large congregation
gathered, filling every seat In the audi
torium. Decorations of the altar were
simple and . beautiful, mainly of roses,
significant of the holy rosary for which
the church stands. Besides being the an
nual feast in honor of the patron saint
the day was also the Both anniversary
of the establishment of the Dominican
order on the Pacific Coast. Solemn high
mass began at 10:30, the Right Rev.
Father A. S. Lawler. O. P., of the local
Superior of the Dominicans, was the cele
brant. He was assisted by Rev. C. V.
Lamb, O. P., as deacon, and G. Donner
berg as subdeacon. The male choir under
the leadership of J. H. Cass, sang
Marzo's "Missa Solemnelle," and E. C.
Masten's "Ave Maria." Miss Molly Reyn
olds presided at the organ. W. Llnd, of
San Francisco, rendered a viola obligato
with fine effect, the tender touching tones
of the viola blending with, the surround
ings. The solo was a rare treat The
voices of the choir, who returned to take
part in the festival, were well trained
and the music was especially fine.
Right Rev. Abbott O. S. B., delivered
the panegyric on the "Life and Services
of St. Dominic" At the start the bril
liant priest gave a brief resume of the
birth and education of St Dominic, point
ing out his austere character and simple
life, his sacrifice and his final founding
of the great Dominican order, that had
spread all over the world, building mon
asteries and founding schools in the most
remote sections of the globe.
St. Dominic was born of Spanish par
ents at Calahorra, a village of Old Cas
tile, In 1170. He was connected with a
distinguished family. Little had been
known of his father, but in the me
dieval legends his birth had been sur
rounded with portends that Indicated his
future greatness. It had been said that
his mother dreamed she gave birth to
a boy with a torch in his mouth, which
set the world on fire. At 15 he went to
the University of Palencia, where he ap
plied himself to letters and philosophy,
but more especially to theology, remain
ing there until about 25 years old, when
his mission began. He want to Denmark
to overcome the heresies that had sprung
up, assuming the most humble garb that
he might be in touch with the common
people, and swept back with his powerful
logic and reasoning the errors of theJ
times, xie necarae me Deacon star in
those dark days. He died in 1221 at Bo
logna, in the 51st year of his age. The
Dominican order was founded by St.
Dominic in 1216, and embraced a rule of
absolute poverty with the usual vows of
chastity and obedience. The order speed
ily extended itself through the whole
Christian world, ana popes, cardinals and
learned doctors sprang from it and its
schools became the nurseries of preachers
and great theologians."

that within the next two or three years
the present rules will practically be done
away with and that the Rugby system
will be used instead.
"One of the advantages of the Rugby
game over other kinds of football is that,
the playing fields being larger and not
necessarily uniform in shape or extent
a larger number of players may join in
the contest" Mr. Sykes said yesterday
when asked his views on the question.
Continuing, he said:
"It was quite usual in my time to play
40 or more on each side, though at that
time 20 was the recognized number in
house matches. I have frequently seen
three matches going on at the same time
in different parts of the Rugby playing
fields.
"Another advantage of the Rugby same
Is that it is not necessary either to signal
or to mark out the game grounds, posts
on the touch line being a sufficient guide.
On the Rugby 'big side' ground were an
island, a moat a slope and several trees,
which, like bunkers and hazards at golf,
Improved the game by increasing the diffi
culties.
"During my five years at Rugby, one
fractured leg and one broken collar bone
comprised the accidents of any conse
quence. During my nine years' captaincy
of the Manchester team no accidents, be.
yond sprains and bruises, occurred and
no disputes arose during our matches
either with other clubs or among our
selves.
"Perhaps the most important considera
tion in selecting a type of football for a
college or university is its future influ
ence on the collegians. Those of my
schoolfellows at Rugby who have attained
eminence, I am happy to testify, were dis
tinguished at Rugby by their Jove of foot
ball, which they played well and invari
ably with good temper. i
"My experience of the game of Rugby
football is that a powerful, heavy player
is not so useful as one who is light, active
and intelligent My own weight was 130
pounds, and several of the best players
of my day did not much exceed that

"As a proof of the popularity of the
Rugby game I may mention that in or
about December, 18o7, I iplayed at Liver
pool in the first football match under
Rugby rules that ever took place in Lan

most confined to a few schools and col
leges and had just been introduced at
Oxford and Cambridge. "It is now the
favorite game throughout the British Em

"The Rugby game gives more scope for
good generalship and at the same time
for individual prowess than any game I
know of, and although Imparting pleasure
and satisfaction to all who participate, it

SERMON BY DR. MATTHEWS
Newton, Mass., Clergyman Speaks
at the White Temple.
The following excerpts are taken from
a sermon on "The Ministry of Vision,"
delivered by Rev. Frank Matthews, of
Newton, Mass., at the White Temple yes
terday morning in the absence of Rev.
J. Whitcomb Brougher, the pastor:
"It is the onward look which shapes and
Inspires life. A vision of what may be is
evermore the forerunner of the good that.
is. The ministry of vision is to Inspire an
entrance Into the eonshlp of God. Milton
at 12 had his vision, and in the light of
that vision he taught what he had seen
and what he knew. When he died, aged,
blind and honored, he was heard to say,
'Still guides the heavenly vision."
"Abraham had a vision, too. From the
home of his fathers he went out to walk
with the Lord and to follow on "till the
close of day.' Jesus saw life as no one
else saw It To Him the world was lost
in sin, but He saw the time of its re
demption. And now we hasten toward the
day when the knowledge of Christ . shall
cover the earth as the waters fill the
seas.'
"Lowell, standing on the summit of the
Italian Alps with a German friend, turned
to the south and said: 'Glories of the
past I salute you.' But the German
turned to the north and said: 'Glories of
the future, I salute you. There is vision.
"To men of superlative worth in every
land there has come at some time the in
spiring vision of the Lord as he is. They
have really seen Him and their souls are
filled with the majesty of His dominion.
"And thus the story of human achieve
ment is told. Today the need of vision is
apparent If there is apathy in the church
and in the nation, it is because we do not
see the Lord as he is, high and lifted up.
There is more in this world than fashions,
amusements, dollars and dust. There are
men and women wandering like sheep
without a shepherd. There are vows to
be made and kept. There are mighty pur
poses to be realized. There are glorious
works to be done. We shall see these
things and do them under the spell of
vision.
Thomas Chalmers preached for six
years In Scotland with splendid eloquence,
but there was no reaping. He did not see
his work as It should be. He was laid
aside by a severe illness, and the vision of
the King of Glory came upon him. When
he re-entered his pulpit some weeks later
all of Scotland was shaken with his min
istry, which became the most noted of
the century. He had seen the vision."

MUTE RESCUES TWO
Longshoremen Loading Boat
Fall in River.
LANDSMEN NEARLY DROWN
Chief Officer Pearson, of British
Tramp Sutherland, Plunges In
Water and Drags Men Out
Who Could Not Swim.
To rescue one person from drowning is
regarded as a heroic act, but yesterday
Chief Officer Pearson of the British tramp
steamer Sutherland, saved two longshore
men who had fallen overboard into the
river. Both were in imminent danger of
drowning and had it not been for Pearson
they would probably have found a watery
grave. What makes the rescue all the
more remarkable is that the two long
shoremen were in the water at the same
time and the gallant Englishman rescued
them one after another. The Sutherland
Is loading lumber at the Inmai-Poulsen-
mllls.
A gang of longshoremen "vas loading-
lumber on the side of the vessel wnen
one of them lost his balance and toppled
off into the river. The man was as help
less as a babe and excited cries of tfce
men attracted the attention of Pearson.
Just as he put in his appearance another
one of the longshoremen became so
confusea that he also fell overboard and
the two floundered in the water together.
Seeing at a glance that unless the two
men received immediate assistance they
would be drowned, Pearson stripped off
his coat and without hesitancy plunged
foremost to the rescue. He struck the
water within a few feet of the struggling
longshoremen and when he came to the
surface was within reaching distance of
them.
Just as Pearson's head appeared, the
nearest of the men went down for the
third and last time. The Englishman
dived after htm and grabbing his arm
pulled him to the surface. A rope was
thrown from the steamer and Pearson
hastily bound it about the man who was
unconscious. He was hoisted to the deck.
Then Pearson started for the other who
had struggled in the water until he had
obtained a hole upon one of the pier
poles. His strength was about gone and
within a few moments more would have
given up when Pearson reached him. An
other rope was thrown out and it was
but a matter of seconds until all Miree
were safe and sound upon the deck. As
soon as the two men recovered they left
after showering expressions of gratitude
and thanks upon their rescuer. The offi
cers of the vessel did not learn the names
of the two longshoremen.
Oh, It was nothing at all," remarked
Pearson wlren seen last night. "Any man
who could swim would not hesitate to
act the same as I did. One of the men
came around afterwards' and wanted to
present me with J2, but, of course, I
wouldn't take it."

"Curtain" for Big Gray Rat
Ferrets Will End Career of Rodent
Which Fattens on Court Records!
la County Clerk Fields' Vanlt.
THE BIG, gray rat which has taken
up his residence in the vault In
the County Clerk's office has but few
more days to live. His warm nest
among the records of the County Court
will soon be cold, as it Is understood
that a ferret is to be "sicked" onto
him. At least this has been suggested
as a sure way to get rid of the rodent.
It has been suggested that County
Clerk Fields borrow one of the little
ferrets of the Home Telephone Com
pany, which ara used for "reaving" in
the lead cables through the sub-conduits.
Ferrets are sure death to rats,
and it is said take sportsmanlike de
light in killing them. A ferret Is much
smaller than a rat, but it is as quick
as a cat, and its teeth are long and
sharp. One ferret can lick several
rats without the least inconvenience.
Like a bulldog, it makes for the
neck. When it once obtains a hold
it never lets loose until its victim has
breathed its last A rat is not a slow
animal,, but It is not nearly as active
as a ferret. All rats are afraid of fer
rets, and usually win attempt to es
cape rather than fight. But a ferret
is the smaller, and will follow any
where. A ferret will rid a house of
rats quicker than a circus parade will
empty a schoolhouse.
