THE SUNDAY OREGONIAX. PORTLAND, JUNE 26. 1910. 2 FAMOUS TBUKH HEREWITH STRING Dick Wilson, Noted Racetrack Man, Brings 35 Horses for Fair Meet. WORLD TEAM RECORD HELD Among Fine Steeds In His Stable Is Alleen Wilson, 2:02 1-4 Patch- en ,Boy, Registered Stal lion, Sire of Fast Nags. - . BY W. J. PETRAIN. Portland's $10,000 stake offered for a trotting: race at the track of the Port land Fair and Livestock Association during: the coming- race meet is al ready attracting: Eastern .horses and drivers. Dick Wilson, one of the most famous trainers in the business, is now at the track with 85 horses. Wilson is a picturesque figure in American harness-horse circles. He has raced his stables on the Grand Circuit for the past 15 years, but this is the first time that he has brought his horses to the Coast for a Fall meet when the big: Eastern tracks are busy. It was Dick Wilson who made a world's record with a team on the Readville track ' last year, when he drove Hedgewood Boy and Lady Maud C. to pole in 2:024. Wilson has al ways enjoyed a reputation as a keen and clever driver, and his many suc cesses on different tracks have caused him to be rated on a par with Ed Geers and the other noted drivers. Some of the horses Wilson has trained and driven, and the marks they made with him up, are as follows: Alleen Wilson, 2:024: Bumps, 2:04 4; Gasconda, 2:054; Courier-Journal, 2:06; Silver Chimes, 2:07: The Bishop. 2:06; Dick Wilson, 2:08; Byron Kay, 2:084; William Tell. 2:11, and many others. Wilson is especially proud of his registered trotting- stallion. This horse has sired some of the greatest racing: horses In the country. Patchen Boy is a beautiful blue black stallion by Wilkes Boy out of Lady Clay by Metro politan. Alex Williams, a promising: young: trotter and one of Patchen Boy's get, is being: carefully handled by Wilson, for he thinks this horse can win the big: stake, though this will by no means be the only Wilson entry. Alex Wil liams has a mark of 2:12. as a 3-year-old, and has been making: 2:16 and bet ter in the morning: workouts at the track. Ken West. 2:14, Is another promising; Wilson entry. The horse is . a spirited black beauty of the Patchen strain, and is one of the best-waited trotters seen on a Portland track in some time. While Wilson likes the performance of Ken West and Alex Williams, he has another black beauty that promises to be heard from, Lucille Patchen, 2:16, a 4-year-old by Patchen Boy out of Fanny by Beaumont. Besides handling- his own horses and working them on the track each day, Dick Wilson is grooming the entries of a number of Oregon horsemen who have secured his services as trainer to prepare ' their horses for the North western circuit this Fall. Among the . horses Wilson is looking after is Frank E. Alley's Sonoma Boy, a full brother of the famous Sonoma Girl. Sonoma Boy has a mark of 2:05, and Wilson says he can do better than that. On the strength of his knowledge of pacers, and especially of the Sonoma Girl strain, he expects to pull Sonoma Boy through this Fall with a new mark. Another horse being handled for Frank Alley is Staline, one of the most prom ising trotters now at the track. Wil son says that Staline's record of 2:22 will be lowered considerably this sea son. Paul Wessinger's Oregon Patch and Dick Hal are also being handled by Wilson, who pronounces both as horses of great promise. Wilson likes to handle horses that have had little or 5o previous training, and his success with them Is remarkable. His work with the Oregon horses thus far Is most pleasing to the owners who have placed their entries in his care. A. C. Lohmire's Arclight, and A. C. Shreve's Rubyllght, comprise another pair of likely performers. Both are the get of the famous Searchlight, and Wil son predicts a successful career for them. "I have been most agreeably sur prised at the number and quality of good horses owned in the Northwest," remarked Wilson the other day. "Be fore shipping my own horses to Port land I had been led to believe there were few really good horses In this section. I must admit , that my In formants were either Ignorant or mis informed as to the true state of affairs. Oregon and Washington have several high-class performers, horses that would do well in the company of the Grand Circuit, and I am greatly pleased to find such enthusiasm among the horsemen as now exists here." Dick Wilson will race his horses and handle a number of others through the Pacific Northwest Fair Association sea son. i..ilftMiwiiMil-TrT'r, ' f FAMOUS TRAINER AND HORSIS NOW AT PORTLAND TRACK.

Cornell repeated her last year's feat of winning the three races of the Inter collegiate regatta today. The varsity elgbt-oared race was not finished until after darkness, which made it Impossible to distinguish the crews. Pennsylvania pressed Cornell closely through the race and was but a half-length behind at the finish. The Judges placed Columbia third. Syracuse fourth and Wisconsin last. Official time of the eight-oared race was: Cornell. 20:42; Pennsylvania. 20:44; Columbia. 20:54 1-5; Syracuse, 21:13; Wisconsin, 21:15 3-5. Cornells victory in the four-oared race and the freshman eight-oared race was eaBily gained. Taking the lead on the Jump In true Courtney style, Cornell's varsity four won the first race scheduled of the Intercollegiate regatta. Syracuse was second. Columbia third and Pennsylva nia fourth. Just as the Columbia shell crossed the finish line one of the oars struck the stake boat and the shell capsized. Good Time Recorded. The official time of the varsity four winner was 11:37 4-5.

At 7:45 o'clock the five varsity eights awaited instructions from the referee's boat. Darkness was fast settling down and it was difficult to see a mile away. The start was made at 7:46. Wiscon sin caught water first, Pennsylvania second. Columbia spurted and passed Cornell at the two-mile mark. Pennsylvania. Wisconsin and Syracuse were rowing next in order. Cornell Long in Lead. At the 2 -mile mark Cornell led, with Pennsylvania second. When the crews approached the bridge Pennsyl vania spurted and Its shell shot up on almost even terms with Cornell. Co lumbla was third, Syracuse fourth and Wisconsin last. At the three-mile mark Cornell was . only inches ahead of Pennsylvania with Columbia third by a length; Syra cuse fourth and Wisconsin last. Brooklyn Thursday. In a statement Is sued last night President Lynch says: -'While I recognize the fact that prov ocation for this player's attack on a spectator was great, stillhe cannet be allowed to take the law Into his own hands. The rules of order and disci pline on the ball field allow of no such conduct, and the good repute of the. game itself cannot be jeopardized by players resenting their grievances in this manner. "Devlin had redress by appealing to the umpire for protection, who, after satisfying himself of the Identity of the offender, could have insisted on the lat ter's removal from the grounds, and the game would not have continued until the umpire's orders were obeyed. The payment of an admission fee to a ball game does not permit spectators to abuse the players. In the case of play ers Doyle and Devore, they are fined $50, because they acted as accessories where they might have been better em ployed as peacemakers." Devlin was made defendant today in a civil suit for ?6000 damages, brought by Bernard J. Roessler, a Brooklyn garage keeper, who charges that Dev lin knocked him out for seven minutes with a right swing to the -Jaw, whils he was watching the New York-Brooklyn game yesterday. Roessler insists that the man for whom the swing was meant sat directly behind him. This man, he says, had been calling Devlin names, but when the ballplayer reached the box seat sub sided, and Devlin punched Roessl'-r by mistake. Roessler today swore out a warrant for Devlin's arrest.'- r HOGAN STILL LEADS Vernon Manager Strongest in Stick Work Last Week. NONE OTHER IN .300 CLASS . Newsboys to Play Ockley Green, The Newsboys second baseball team will play the Ockley Green team this afternoon on the Ockley Green dia mond. This Is expected to be a fast game, as both teams are speedy for amateurs. The Newsboy Juniors have met and defeated a number of fast local amateur teams. Campbell and Rantlell will be the battery for the street merchants. . The White Cross, Mllwaukie, Mount Tabor and Kerrigan teams are some of the nines with which the Newsboys have played this season. Batsmen or Coast League Generally Take Slump Gus Fisher, Pre mier Hitter for Portland, Tum bles From .290 to X279. All of the leading batsmen of the Pacific Coast League suffered a slump during the past week, for ' only one regular player remained among the class noted as .300 hitters, and he Is "Happy" Bill Hogan, the Oakland hard hitting utility player. At that. Bill slumped several points, but the pitch ers worked exceptionally well during tne recent games. Gus Fisher, Portland's premier hit ter, fell from .290 to .279, but once he gets back on the home lot next week he can be expected to climb again. Felix Martinke, now a Portlander. but hitherto a veronlte. Is the second Port land batter, with an average of .264. while Bill Rapps slumped to the .250 mark. Roy Brashear Is giving Ping Bode a run for the homerun tatting honors. for he Is close on the heels of the hard hitting Seal. Howard, of Los Angeles, is the leading base stealer, while Port land's best performer In that line is Olson. The averages up to and Including the games played June 20 are as fol lows: . .

LONDOX, June 25. (Special.) Eng land Is going to have a hard time get ting together a strong team for the Davis tennis cup matches, should any be held this year. Enthusiasts are watching with keen Interest the play ing of the more prominent experts In the various tournaments now being held, and it can hardly be said that the promise of material is very great. It is pretty certain that the men who Journeyed to the United States last year as England's representatives will not find a place in the team this year. Last Summer the English selection committee was stumped by the same difficulty which had so often presented Itself to the American committee the Impossibility of getting any of the really first-class players to sacrifice the time and money associated with a trip abroad, and, in the event of a win, to Australia. Thus they were compelled to fall back upon the men who have for some years been near the top, but never quite reached it. C. P. Dixon, Kenneth Pow ell and J. G. Parke are hardly players representative of the best in English lawn tennis and in contests in Eng land, where it is proposed' to hold the preliminary matches this year, they would hardly be considered by the se lection committee. Doherty Brothers Dismissed. Although .each year there are rumors that the Doherty brothers are getting into shape and will play in first-class tennisthey really can be dismissed as possibilities- It is extremely doubtful If they could ever approach their old marvelous form. H. L. Doherty, the younger of the brothers, is too busy with golf, at which he is' a dangerous opponent even for the best of players, to go through the hard course of training which would be necessary before he could be in any kind of shape, while R. F. Doh erty confines himself to mixed doubles, a harmless and easy form of tennis compared with first-class singles. To make comparisons. It would be just as sensible to talk of the return to first class form of Whitman and Ward, In the United States, as to talkof the re turn of the Dohertys. As a matter of fact, one would never hear this constant talk of the Doher tys were it not that no new talent is being produced in England. Lawn ten nis here is really In a bad way. For , many yeara baafe. tLg Wuumenti have been compelled to depend abso lutely upon the veterans for anything above the most mediocre playing. Un less memory is treacherous, not a sin gle player of the first water has been developed in England since the days when the Doherty brothers ruled su preme and Journeyed to the United States to fight for the Davis cup. This Year Jfo Kxception. This year is no exception to the rule, and the selection committee will have to depend upon men who should have retired from first-class tennis many years ago, if we consider their ages. If an American team comes across, it is pretty certain that it will have to meet a team composed of the follow ing men, all famous in international tennis: A. W. Gore, H. B Barrett and J: G. Ritchie. Gore and Ritchie prob ably will play in the singles, and Bar rett with Gore in the doubles. Of course, there is the possibility of one or more of these men being out of form by the first week In July, when the Wimbledon tournament, during wlrfch the selections are made, comes around. Of these men. it is believed that Gore is still the strongest In singles. He is the present English champion, and despite the fact that he Is not. at the moment of writing, in the best of sin gles form and is confining his tourna ment play to doubles, it is said that Wimbledon .will see him In first-class physical condition. He Is a hard-hitting player, who plays well back to ward the base line, seldom coming up to the net. At present Ritchie is playing better than any other expert in England. He has Just won the Middlesex County championship, going through a strong field. It will be remembered that Ritchie represented England in the Da vis cup matches at Boston two yeara ago, when he disposed of Beals Wright. 6-1, 6-3, 6-2, but lost to W. A. Lamed, 4-6. 8-3, 6-3. 6-3. Barrett has been playing very little in singles so far this season, and It is impossible to get a line on his form. He has appeared in doubles, however. paired with Gore,- and they are un doubtedly still the strongest combina tion in the field. Barrett's playing Is almost diametrically opposed to Gore's In style. The former is crafty as a fox and depends for his points upon luring his opponent to some far corner of the court and then-dropping the ball easily but effectively In some uncovered spot. Gore wins by sheer speed and hard hit ting. VANDERBILT WINS IX FRANCE Two Horses' First, One Secxnd, in Races at Boulogne. BOULOGNE, France, June 25. W. K. Vanderbilt had a good day in the rac ing meet here today, having two winners and a second horse. His Ra messeum won the Prix de . la Porte Maillot of $1000, a distance of five fur longs, and his Oversight won the Prix de Seine at Marne of $4000 over a dis tance of a mile and a half. Mr. Vanderbilt's Messidor III came in second in the Prix de Courbevols, for 3-year-olds, of $3000, distance one mile and seven furlongs. LAJOiE STILL LEADING PEERLESS CLEVTXAXD PLAYER IX FOREFROXT OF LEAGUE. Chemawa- Indians Lose Game. The -Brooks baseball team defeated Chemawa in a hotly-contestedV game at Brooks yesterday, the final score of which was 9 to 6. The pitcher for Brooks was the steadier in the pinches, while the two pitchers used by the In dians were hit hard and often. Ty Cobb, of Detroit Tigers, However, Is Giving Veteran Rnn in Race for Batting Honors. The peerless Napoleon Lajoie, erst while manager of the Cleveland team .and still a member of that club, con tinues to clout the ball In the speedy American League at over .400. Ty Cobb has been coming strong, and Is now hitting .388 and may take the honors away from the big Frenchman yet.
