MAKES FAST FINISH
Charlje Schwertzen Bursts Into
Speed at the Stretch,
STOVER'S MARE IS DEFEATED
Jockey Tullett Also Rides El Plloto
-., lo a Spectacular Victory -To-,
day Is the First Ladles' Day
of the Meet.
TOADIES' DAY AT THE BACKS.
Today will be Ladles'-day. The Mult
nomah Fair Association officials over
looked the fair eex during, the rush ol
the first -week, hut from now on they
are to have their day at the races.
The first race will see the Portland
horses Eldred and Vlnce start. In the
third race Our Choice, another Port
land horse, starts, and In the fifth,
Marengo Is among a fast lot In the
mllo and 100 yards event.
Yesterday morning Harry Stover, the
California horseman, and E. McNamara,
the owner of Charlie Schweitzer and
Isabelllta, hooked up in a wrestling
match. Luck and a crafty knowledge of
the wrestling game favored Stover, and
he threw McNamara and won $10. Mc
Namara took his defeat like the good
sport that he is., but while he was shak
ing the dust from his clothes, he made
this declaration: "Stover, you can beat
me wrestling, but when Charlie Schweit
zer and FrivolouB meet in the fifth race
this afternoon, my Schweitzer horse will
run your mare's eyes out."
McNamara kept his word. The fifth
race was one of the six corking good
horse races carded for the opening day
of the second week of the meting. The
wrestling bout was a frlendsly affair,
but when it came to the horse race, all
friendship ceased and McNamara cer
tainly did put it over the Stover mare.
Jockey Tullett got Schweitzer away
"sixth. At the quarter he moved up to
fourth position and kept him there until
the three-quarters, when he moved up
to third position. While making this
move Tullett. in order to avoid cutting
down a horse in front of him which was
dropping out of the running, had to take
the son of Libertine back, and he did not
get a chance to straighten him out until
they hit the head of the stretch, then he
dropped Schweitzer out of the clouds,
came on and won as he pleased. Young
Pepper made the running as usual, but
he chucked It when Tullett collared him
with Schweitzer. It was a pretty race
up the stretch, and Tullett certainly
gave the horse a splendid ride.
Tullett's Second Victory.
This made tho second victory for Tul
lett. In the fourth race he made even
a. more startling and spectacular finish
with El Plloto, the hotly-tipped favorite.
Those who had grabbed at the tip and
had flooded the betting ring with their
money had several spasms of heart
thumping while the horses were racing
over the seven furlongs. Everybody saw
Tullett get off with El "Plloto second,
and they were almost panicstrlcken
when they saw him drop back to sixth
position. They could see that the Gano
horse had, when he broke, carried the
barrier ribbon with him. For almost
ten lengths the ribbon sawed at his
throat. Tullett said aftejr tho racethat
El Plloto was almost stopping when tho
tape finally slipped clear, but that once
he found himself loose, he started alter
his field like an express train. The boy
saw that the horse had lots of speed
and contented himself with waiting.
Into the stretch he was still sixth, but
running like a wild horse. At the pad
dock Tullet sent him through the bunch
and he ran so fast that all the rest of
the horses seemed to be standing still.
When those who had their coin on El
Plloto saw Tullett burst through the
struggling mass of horses with the speed
of a Kansas cyclone, a mighty salvo of
applause broke forth, and when he rode
hack to the Judges' stand It wa3 re
peated. Sullivan's Garrison Finish.
Another pretty race and a garrison
finish was that of little F. Sullivan's on
Invlctus, In the last race. Sullivan also
brought the black horse from nowhere,
sent him to the front so that all the big
crowd could enjoy the sight, and won
"the race In a gallop. There was also
a heavy play on Invlctus and when he
was running easily along far back in
the ruck, only those who knew the horse
and the rider believed that Sullivan
could come on when he wanted to. The
rest, with a note of despair In their
voices, half moaned, "He'll never get
up." When Sullivan made his move It
was like dropping diamonds out of the
sky, for he simply ran over his field,
took a commanding lead of three lengths
and finished, pulled to a breezing gallop.
The first raco on the card was a tough
betting proposition. Every horse of the
31 starters seemed to have a chance,
but finally the wise ones went to Caro
burn, whom the pencllers made an even-
money favorite. Lord Eldred, however.
was the good thing, but only a few
around the betting ring knew it, for
the horse was played in tho out-of-town
poolrooms. It was a one-horse race,
for Lord Eldred got away well and he
had the speed of his field. Holbrook took
no chances. He made every post a win
ning one and finished In front two
lengths.
McClees took Scorcher away In front
In the second race, and he also won by
himself. Everybody knew that Scorcher
was ripe and they took a fall out of
the bookies, and from 6 to 5 he was played
down to even money at post time. Rose-
leaf was the second choice, but she
dumped her friends.
Handsome Florry, after running a dis
graceful race last week, came out yes
terday afternoon and made a monkey
of the jest of the horses in the race.
In hor former race she was absolutely
last, and yesterday she Jumped out in
front and won so easily that even those
who had bet on her were almost ashamed
to take the money.
Notes of the Track.
On Wednesday Is the Multnomah han
dicap, valued at ?600. This, too, will bring
together a field of horses.
There is a big list of entries for the
Irvfngton handicap, valued at $1000,
which will be run on Saturday afternoon.
The distance is a mile and a quarter.
and It will undoubtedly be the greatest
race of the meeting.
The schooling list has for a beginner
iCrosby, who acted badly at the post
yesterdnv afternoon. Assistant Starter
Duke will start -his school this morning,
and before the week is out quite a nam
ber will be added to the list.
There will be another gentlemen's raco
on Saturday, but this time, instead of
the riders having the mounts selected
by the racing secretary, the riders will
select their own mounts. Neither will
the weights be so stiff this time.
Today is ladies' day and the fair ones
will he sure to be out In their splendid
Summer attire. This Is also the first
ladles' day of the meeting, and It is some
thing the women folks have been look
ing forward to with a great deal of In
terest. Billy Brookwood, formerly owned by
"R. :WC. .Hastings,, yesterday, after, flnlsh-
Ins fourth In the fourth race, -was sold
to T. A. Armstrong for ?150. Billy Brook
wood Is a chestnut gilding- "by Brook
prood out of Plnhunter, and has the In
dications of making a good horse.
Jockey Smith is the first boy to fall
Into disfavor with Starting Judge Mul
holland. Yesterday for his actions on
Crosby and disobeying- the starter's in
structions, he was set down for the rest
of the week. He will ride this afternoon
In order to finish out his engagements,
and then he will take four days on the
ground.

JEFFORDS. IS KNOCKED OUT.
Gardner Disposes of the Californian
In Three Rounds.
BUTTE, Mont, Aug. 15. George Gard
ner tonight defeated Jim Jeffords in the
third round, knocking him out with a
right swing to the jaw that laid the flesh
open and sent the Californian reeling and
spinning to the floor., Jeffords struggled
to his feet and gamely mixed It again
with Gardner, who, with another swing,
sent him to the floor again. Jeffords for
the third timo regained his feet, and In
a dazed manner attempted "to strike at
.Gardner, who calmly; "eauared off, and-

landing again on his groggy opponent,
walloped him one that dropped him like a
log.
Jeffords lay like one dead for several
moments, And was in bl3 corner for about
three minutes before he. warf able to
comprehend anything.
Jeffords was no match against the Low
ell man's cleverness, Gardner repeatedly
Jabbing his lpft and right Into Jeffords'
face. Jeffords would swing at Gardner
with terrific force, though the blows al
most invariably would go wild or be
ducked by Gardner, With his long left,
Gardner kept tantalizing Jeffords as if
feeling him out, and when in the third
the big fellow made an effort to get
away from ripping lefts, Gardner swung
his right to Jeffords Jaw with doadly
effect, dazing and sending him to the floor.
Jeffords was a disappointment to the
fight followers here, his footwork appear
ing clumsy against that of the clever man
against him.
Little money changed hands on the
fight. Odds of 50 to 40 on Gardner went
begging.
It was announced from the ringside by
Manager Nolan, of the Montana Athletic
Club, that Aurello Herrora and "Battling
Nelson" had agreed to a match In Butte
on September 5, and that articles and
transportation had been wired the two
fighters.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15. The Treasury

FROG IN THE' HALL.
Clad In Pajamas the Baljtqssers Cut
..All Sorts of Capers 'After
Midnight.
TACOMA, Wash., Aug. 15. (Special.)
The Tacoma Hotel, heretofore the head
quarters of vl3itlng baseball teams, has
barred tho Portland aggregation because
of ante-daylight capers with the chemical
fire extinguisher in the hallways, and
other pranks which disturbed the slum
bers of other guests. Manager Dugdale
was politely Informed when the team left
Sunday night that ho might expect to be
turned away If ho ever applied for ac
commodations for his men again.
The trouble occurred between midnight
on Saturday and daylight Sunday. Clad
In fantastic "nighties" and pajamas, the
frisky balltossers played leapfrog and
"hunt the slipper" up and down the hall
for about an hour, and then turned it
into hide-and-seek, using the doors of i
other rooms than their own in which to
hide. The man who was "it" conceived
the Idea of washing out the other fellows
with tho chemical hose. "The Innovation
was greeted witti shrieks of laughter that
penetrated to every floor of the hotel,
awoke the guests and brought the night
clerk to tho scene. The carpets were
drenched, and the manager was compelled
to have them cleaned at a cost of $40.

DOOM OF CORRESPONDENTS.
Picturesque Figures of War Likely to
Disappear.
One of the most striking features of
the present war Is that it seems to herald
the fall of an empire older than the
sway of Russia at "Vladivostok, and wider
In Its range than all the Russias, all the
Siberian and all the other places- that are
now properly watched. The Japanese
may br may not have overthrown the
Russian colonies, but one thing they have
done, with the cordial though undesigned
co-operation of their enemies they have
ended the picturesque supremacy of the
war correspondent, says the London Tat
ler. Inaugurated with the Crimean War, the
rule of the reporter has lasted for half
a "century, thrilling the hearts of millions
or peaceful newspaper readers all over
the civilized world, and vexing the minds
of dozens of Commanders-in-Chief and
hundreds of other Generals.
The war correspondent Is the represen
tative of the curiosity of democratic coun
tries, and especially does he represent the
Anglo-Saxon inquisitlveness. To the
newspaper reader, and hence to the cor
respondent who Is to supply him with
news, nothing is sacred. He wants to
know everything about everything as
soon as possible. His highest gratifica
tion is to receive bulletins of a battle
while it is in progress, just as he gets the
score of a cricket match, the evidence of
divorce case or the tape prices of
stocks.
Wheii war was regarded as Imminent In
the Far East, great preparations were
made for keeping the neutral world
posted. Correspondents arrived, picked
men, sturdy of body, sharp of mind,
graphic of pen. They were lavishly sup
piled with resources; one even chartered
a vessel with a wireless installation,
thereby drawing down on himself a cu
rious circular from the Russian govern
ment threating to treat such proceedings
with the rigor of martial law. If the
correspondent in question had been ar
rested he would only have needed to give
the text of his message to show his com
plete innocence of spying.
But the bland, Inscrutable Japanese
have marked themselves out for a ruling
race, not less by their rejection of parts
of Western civilization than by their ac
ceptance of other parts. They were not
fierce or fussy; they simply, with the ex
quisite politeness Ingrained In their char
acter and language, abjectly requested the
augus't correspondent to " confine his hon
orable activity to the magnificent billiard
table of his magnanimous hotel. Mean
while all the fascinating first stages .of
the war, the tentative movements, rapid
marches, cautious reconnolterings, pic
turesque landings and skirmishes were
going on, as we know they must have
done, in f,ull activity.
Then, when the armies, or some of
them, were in touch with the enemy, the
correspondents were let loose. They could
do no harm, for the Russians already
knew all that the neutral observer could
find out Accordingly, some excellent par
ticulars of the fighting on the Yalu came
through, bleated, no doubt, giving us a
taste of the old thrill merely a taste, for
the Russian and Japanese official ac
counts, both remarkably truthful and
modest for official accounts, had told us
all the essential details over a week ago.
Then the curtain shut down on the ar
mies of Japan, because they were onca
more doing things that they did not want
the Russians to know.
The Russians, as befits their traditions,
have been even less apparently accommo
dating. The correspondents they permit
seem to live In railway stations, and
hitherto have hardly given any sign of
existence. The Russian commanders have
been fairly frank In their own statements,
but even there there was nothing that the
Japanese did not know, or could not be
practically certain to find out
As for the unhappy newspaper men,
their communicatlbns have related chiefly
to the arrivals of unestlmated numbers of
soldiers and the detail of reviews and
proclamations, which are the same for all
armies in all wars. The other correspond
ents who could not get to the seat of
war, though more free to report, have
had notnmg out canaras. itumors are
pretty wild at all times, and Chinese ru
mor is of the most erratic description.
A few more disappointments and our
newspapers will give up reporting the
war altogether. It is probable that many
of them are sorry they sent out any cor
respondents at all; if the press could come
to a general agreement, its representa
tives might nearly all return. And In any
future war the game will be almost as un
profitable, unless it is a British or Ameri
can war.
Modern methods of fighting do not favor
tho correspondent. A stray Indication
from him, Impossible for even a skilled
censor to cut out, may give a watchful
enemy a clue to some movement which
was enigmatical before. Let us suppose.
for instance, that he mentions casually
that he has seen some electric light stand
ards forwarded to the front a week before
the fighting begins. Will not the enemy
Infer that a night attack Is threatened
or provided against?
Then, again, the war correspondent now
can see very little. Ranges are long,
powder smokeless, positions extended, for
mations open. A battle is a long string of
man popping at the landscape, with bul
lets whining over them. Occasionally the
landscape knocks one over. Guns pitch
shells from the other side of hills. The
landscape may. become -q.uictani the jPaJLOrJQa,
crawi'on. or.it is too fierce for them and
they crawl back.
Perhaps some day, the popping will be
done away with, like the smoke. Then
tho soldier will be lying down and click
ing a machine at the hills with a whizzing
of deadly. Insects around him. a few men
in sight on his own side and nobody in
front It Is a horrlDie loea, and thoush it
may make good psychological fiction is
does not lend itself to narrative.
We had a debauch of special corre
spondence In the South African war. It
was much overireported, and as we were
generally fighting on the wire our papers
got the news fresh- The Boers usually
knew more about our positions than
we did ourselves, so there as no danger
In publishing anything. Further, we had
only our own men to depend on for la-
rormation. Boer official news, always un
trustworthy, soon disappeared with the
official Boer element: the Continent was
bitterly mendaious and had hardly any
body at the front from its newspapers.
We did the war to death. It was rather a
small war foe numbers and battles, and
It was SDread rvor n vnst area and a
long time. Even foreigners of military
education caught the craze and absurdly
exaggerated the Importance of the whole
affair.
The Japanese and RuRslnns Kava called
us back to the normal procedure of mod
ern wanare. To be sure, the out-of-the-
way and pathless nature of the scene of
war renders secrecy fairly easy, but what
the two belligerents have done Is what all
professional soldiers will want to do. War
is a business, not
fall are not butchered to make a half
penny holiday for newspaper readers In

dier objects to fight with a reporter at

and to a certain extent .1 shumo tn hln
reticence.
Moltke, "silent in seven languages,"
succeeded in having most men tolerably
silent about himself. Probably ' the bit
ter experience of our newspapers,
keeping representatives abroad In expen
sive countries and getting hardly any
news past the censors?, will sicken their
editors and proprietors of morbid cu
riosity for exciting details. The war cor
respondent as wo know him is doomed.
