4 THE MOKXIXG OREGOXIA MONDAY, MARCH 23, 1(J5. CLUB REPLIES TO SEATTLE CHARGES Members of Multnomah Re sent Reflections as to Their . Amateur Standing. M'MILLAN ANSWERS CRITIC Declares That Portland Organiza tron Is Endeavoring to Promote Clean Athletics and Questions Motives of the Criticism. Jn yesterday's issue of the Seattle Time there appears a long article disparaging the. effort of the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club and Director E. B. Morgan in behalf of purer athletics in the North west. The article In question was evi dently Inspired by some one who was prejudiced in favor of Becretary Will Inglis of the Pacific Northwest Amateur Athletic Association, whose amateur standing has been questioned. President Oorge W. McMillan and Mr, Morgan last night replied to the charges its set forth. Among the items in the Seattle article Is the statement that Mr. Morgan aspires for the position now occupied by Mr. Inglis. In reply to this lr.. Morgan, who will be ona of the men to represent Mult nomah at the meeting In Seattle next Saturday, declares that the assertion is absolutely without foundation.1" He ex pressed hinwtif In the matter as fol lows: i. . - . Desire to Discredit Meeting. "Whoever inspired the article merely df sires to cast discredit upon the objects of the approaching meeting. 1 have no personal quarrel with Mr. Inglls, and as for aspiring to the position he now occu pies, that is beyond reason. I have no desire for the position; never have had, and furthermore would not accept it were it tendered me. I have not time to attend to the demands that are made on the occupant of that position. In in augurating the campaign for which I am held responsible,. I simply desire to pro mote the Interests of the Pacific North west as far as cleaner athletics is con . eerned. "Here In Portland we are as much in terested in the holding of the National Amateur Athletic Union field and track meet in Seattle next year as are the Se attle people themselves, and while in New York last year. Secretary James B. Sul livan and other dignitaries of the asso ciation Informed me that this would be Impossible unless a clean-cut, legitimate amateur athletic administration was at the head In the Pacific Northwest Asso ciation. If Mr. Inglis. or anyone else whose standing may be questioned, can show that he or they are entitled to hold their positions. I shall have no com plaint to make. If I am sent to Seattle, I .shull follow the Instructions given me by the Multaomnh Club, and that Is all I hsve to say on the subject at present." - rrcsldcnt McMillan dealt with the Se aiile story In detail and replied to It by pAranrapli insofar as it referred to the VilV.omaii Club. His reply Is as fol lows: itcply of Mr. McMillan. ... "I do not believe that the writer of this story is correctly Informed as to the objects of the coining meeting. The Times say that Mr, Morgan aspires to dictate to the Pacific Northwest Association, by reason of a personal acquaintance with Secretary James K. Sullivan, of the Ama teur Athletic Union. 1 do not know that Mr. Morgan has any such acquaintance or that he aspires to dictate to any one. 1 believe him to be honest In his conten tions, and am hot aware that he wishes to succeed Mr. Inglis, or any one" else connected with the Northwest Associa tion. Mr. Morgan is well versed in ama teur laws, and will be one of the dele gates from Multnomah to be sent to Se attle next Saturday. "The Times says Mr. Sullivan is hired at a salary. I cannot see that that is anything to his discredit, for he is chosen by delegates from all over the United States and Canada to act in that capacity, and as he la required to look after some 50.01 or more athletes in annual competi tions in various parts of his Jurisdiction, it seems reasonable that he should re ceive compensation for devoting his entire time to the business of the organisation, lie is a man of considerable experience, and seems exceedingly capable of han dling the position he has filled for a num ber of years. I do not believe that his honesty and Integrity can be questioned. Xo Fight With Inglis. "The Multnomah Club has 'no tight atalnst Mi. Inglis. r personally, and I believed most of the memhers of the Multnomah Club are with me. have the highest regard for Mr. Inglis. Tim fight, as I understand it, is not a personal one en Mr. Inglis. but merely one on the question of the legality of the officers of the P N. A. "Regarding West, the boxer, whom the article charges with professionalism through having been a coach at the Port land T. M. C. A.. I have no knnwloriire of this and shall Inquire into it. If the charge founded on fact West shall be Investigated and expelled from the club. We shall be pleased to listen to any and all charges the Seattle authori ties may care to render, and will deal with them immediately. Relative to Husch. the other boxer referred to, 'T can say that he has been a member of the Multnomah Club for years. In fact he learned how to box in the club, and the assertion that he is a profession! Is without foundation. "Tiie Seattle writer refers to an un-w-riiten agreement between Multnomah. Seattle and Spokane relative to the playing of professional coaches on the football teams. If there was such an agreement I had never heard of it. It Ir true that Multnomah played Pete Over field several seasons ago, and that he was a professional coach, but at that time nearly all the clubs and state uni versities In the Northwest dirt the same thing. That same year the Oregon Agri cultural College played Coach Steckle and Whitman played Allen, while the year previous Oregon played 'Locomo tive' Smith, but no agreement was. in effect. I.ast year the Spokane Athletic Club played Bender and there might be other Instances that could be mentioned. Two years ago the Multnomah Club abandoned the practice of hiring a pro fessional coach, but can Seattle or Spo kane or any other athletic Institution say the tame Players W ere Xot raid. "! do not believe that Dow Walker erer received a single penny for partici pating In any athletic event, and I think that to a.ail a player of his caliber Is t a decided injustice. Uoneraan is another man whom they charge with the insinua tion that he Is a professional. t may he true that Kirby is a professional, but if he is 1 hsve never been informed of any such thing. However, if the Seattle men can furnish the proof we shall see that he will not play again. "As far as the charges against myielf are concerned I believe that my record will stand for itself and I do not care to take any cognizance of the assertion of this writer, whom I believe to be Misin formed. The Multnomah Club is willing to leave any and all of its acts open t question and will refer any disputed point to the governing board of the Amateur Athletic Union and abide by the decision of that body. - 1 do not believe that any one club in the Northwest is any better or any worse than another, but we do contend that we have made and will continue to make an honest effort to clean up amateurism in this section of the country, and will labor with all our power to promote cleaner amateur athletics In every sense of the word." In conclusion President McMillan an nounced that Mr. Morgan and T. Morris Dunne would represent' the elub at the Seattle meeting next Saturday. He also expressed the belief that the Portland Rowing Club would send Richard Hart and President Ralph Wilbur to that meeting. MEXICO WANTS TARIFF Manufacturers Complain at Ameri- can Competition.

Portland hung the skidoo sign on the local ball tossers this afternoon, and when it came time for tea and dessert the score stood 23 to 2. The game narked the revival of base ball in this thriving little California town after a two-year layoff. It was aiso the celebration of the new baseball park, built by the San Luis Obispo business men and ardent fans. The fans turned out from miles around and more people saw the game than paid In Santa Barbara to see both White Sox games. A chap named' Ball, who once wore a Frakes uniform and also played around Pendleton, heaved them down the alley for the locals, and he was certainly easy picking for the Portland sluggers. - Bassey lined out a homer, a triple, a two-bagger and a single. Danzig drove out a triple and a double and Cooney also hit for two bases. In the sixth -inning McCredie's crew chased 14 runs over th- plate. In the eighth everybody was dead tired and was willing to allow the locals two runs. Harmon worked five In nings, fanning five men; Bloomfield pitched three innings and struck out four men. Finance pitched the last inning. The score: i ' - It. H. E. Portland O X 1 2 n 14 O 3 0 23 71 0 B. Luis Obispo. 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 O 27 Batteries Harmon, Bloomfield, Finance, Madden and Whalen; Ball.

Candidates for places on the team were divided into two teams for a practice game, the "Yan kees" defeating the "Yanncgans" " by a score of 1 to 0. The contest was umpired by Alex Cheyne. Sufficient material was represented in the two teams to make a formidable nine. Promising twirlers were recognized in Meile, formerly with the Wabashers; Pender, . Troch, of the Wassau. (Wis.) League; -and Jack Olney. For catcher. Shea, a Portland .production, will prove equal to the occasion, while McBride is an. effective batter and is considered a valuable sub-catcher. Three men showed up good in the outfield as follows: Hel ser,. Jimmy Ahren, originally from Creigh ton University, .. and who. later played with Fort Scott In the Missouri Valley League and in the Kansas City League; and Benny Briggs, an old favorite with the Trl-City fans. Farrell and Woods, young lads from Vancouver, bave been ordered to continue to report for practice and may yet intake the team. Williams and McConnell are the contestants for first base. Other aspirants for places on the team who are giving a good account of themselves are: Lodell, formerly of the Everett and -Cub leagues; Johnnie Frey, who promises to be a fixture in the infield; and Hunter, formerly of the Idaho League. Captain Turk is starting off with a good record as an effective hitter. The two teams were lined up as follows: Yankees Position.' Yannegans.

The final score was 13 to 4 in favor of the Wabash nine. Owing to the absence of the regular Wabash twirlers. the veteran, Charlie Ray, was called upon to do the pitching, and performed in a most creditable man ner. George Pembroke took care of the receiving end in the most capable man ner, and between the two they had the leaguers guessing. Among the others to distinguish themselves were Outfielder "Lally" Fortier, who took "Baron" Jas man's place at first base for the Wa bashers. and Antoine. Gardner, Oliver and Houston, of the All-Stars. The Wahash club will play the St. John team at St. John next Sunday, and is also negotiating for a contest w"lth Man ager Helser's Vancouver club for a game about April 5.

(Spe cial.) Activity in orchards in this sec tion this e'eason far exceeds any such efforts for years past.

The Znamya. the organ of the Union of True Russian People, today printed threats' of assassination, headed by a black cross and the words ..'-'Death to Milukoff." THE DOCTOR says "drink beer" to the weak and the convalescent. To those who need strength need a food and a tonic. If it is. good for them, isn't it good for you? The virtue of beer does not lie in the alcohol. There is only 2A per cent, of that. It lies in the malted barley a digested food. And in the hops a tonic and an aid to sleep. It lies, too, in the fact that the drinking of beer flushes the system of waste. So would water, of course, if one drank enough of it. But you don't drink water like beer. When beer is pure there is nothing more healthful. And Schlitz beer is pure. It brings no after-effects, no biliousness. But better go without beer than to drink the wrong beer. That is why the Doctor generally says "Drink Schlitz." ONLY TWO GAMES Harvard Proposes to Curtail Football Schedule. OTHER COLLEGES LIKEWISE Athletic Featiree of Universities Overbalance Real Work of Stu dents Faculty at Cambridge Takes Decided Action. CAMBRIDGE. Mass., March 22. Al though the future outcome is problem atical, it is generally believed at Harvard University that the i-ote of the faculty, at a special meeting on Friday night, recommending an intercollegiate agree ment to reduce the number of intercol legiate contests, will have no effect what ever upon any of the matches arranged for this academic year. But in the opinion of many Harvard men, there is a strong possibility of a radical change next Fall in the football schedule. There Is even a prospect. It is asserted, that the schedule may be cut to two gamesVand that the Harvard team's public activity in this line of sport may eventually be limited, theugh prob ably not this year, to contests with Yale and one other college only probably Dartmouth. The supporters of this take the view that football should 1)e put on a plane with rowing and that the football, like the boat crew, should be trained and de veloped for not more than two or three contests. At a conference last Fall, the New England College Presidents, in an swer to a request by President Eliot, voted in favor bf curtailing the schedules of intercollegiate athletic contests. SCHEDULE CUT IX THE WEST Colleges Find It Necessary to Shorten Football Season. CHICAGO. March 22. Professor Albion W. Small, the representative of the Uni7 verslty of Chicago on the Western Inter collegiate Conference, said today, regard ing the action of Harvard University in reducing the number .of intercollegiate contests: "I am not familiar with conditions in the East, but if they are at all simitar to those recently prevailing In the West, some such action as has been taken by Harvard University was Inevitable. The athletic features of the universities have grown of late to counterbalance the other work, and I fully believe that other east ern universities will be compelled to fol low the lead of Harvard. In the West, we have taken action by which the num ber of contests was reduced." Prominent Colfax Man Dies. COLFAX, Wash., March 22. (Special.) George H.

DEFENDS -KLICK TICKET Democrat Says Its Candidates Owe Their Party a Duty. PORTLAND. March 22. (To th Editor.) In a lettrr to the editor, published this morn,"- Mr. F. A. Spencer aya: W Mlt l gladly dmit my Democracy, the of my name in connection with the otTlee of Representative for Multnomah County is unauthorized, and under no cir cumstancea am I a candidate for any office." In Jutic to Mr. Spencer and tho other gentlemen whose names appear on the ticket indorsed by the Kentucky Kllck I ny say that not one of them Is a candi date or was consulted. It Is not a case of men seeking office, but offices seeking men. Great care was taken In the choosing of the names which appear upon the ticket to have representative men, whose names were a platform within themselves: men In whom the people would have confidence; men whose business experience has taught them that It la dangerous to forsake principle for the individual, who might be subject to "brain storm;" men who hold to JefTersonian principle as against Hamiltonlan ideas. For the past ten years about ten or a dosen politicians in our party have arraved themselves Into two factions which vied with each other a to who should name , the ticket. In the end one would fuse with this or that "disgruntled bunch,' until our party has dwindled and dwindled, and now la about to lose official recognition, while the city haa doubled and quadrupled its popula tion. Under the primary law. the people have the right to name the men who are to make and execute their laws, without doubt this ticket will be nominated as named.' Some Republicans have said these business men will not qualify if nominated. Mr. Spencer haa not said he would not serve. Under the law, they are morally bound to serve. They owe It to the people in whose city they have achieved success. They owe it to the hundreds of then employes as an ex ample of good vltiienshlp. They owe it to the party whose principles they cherish. The primary law is on trial and Its success depends largely upon their actions. S. C. ARMITAGB.
