COACH MURPHY MAKES HIT
Stas in the East, but He Will Re
turn to Coast in Fall Handi
cap of Portland Is Too
Great to Overcome.
Happy to be home once more, and full
of praises for their courteous Eastern
hosts, the big four of the Portland Row
ing Club composed of Fred Zimmerman,
Will King, Paul Smld and William Pera
berton, arrived last night at 11 o'clock
over the Northern Pacific. At the Union
Depot were gathered to welcome them all
the rowing enthusiasts and many were
the congratulations bestowed on the big
fellows for their magnificent showing
against the cracks of Eastern waters.
Offering no excuses for their failure to
take first place In the international race
on Lake Qulnslgamond, the boys each
and every one are confident of their abil
ity, if they have the opportunity again
to go East, to bring back the champion
ship of America.
Dan Murphy is without doubt, now that
Eastern oarsmen have become acquainted
with him, rated as the premier coach of
the United States, they say. Immediately
after the Worcester regatta he was en
gaged at a magnificent salary to coach
the Lynn Boat Club, of Lynn, Mass.,
and there he is at present. The Univer
sity of Wisconsin is hot after his serv
ices, and the big. oarsmen of the East ex
press themselves as unqualifiedly of the
opinion that Murphy is the peer of Ten
Eyck, Titus, Courtney, O'Dea and all
other famous coaches. Although Murphy
has awaiting him any numDer of berths
In the East as coach. If he wishes them,
he is still loyal to the Pacific Slope, and
will return to Stanford University soon
and again come to the Portland Rowing
Club next Summer.
Story of the Race.
The full story of the race in which
Portland figured so prominently has nev
er yet been heard here In full. So close
was the finish that until the referee Baid
the word not a man of the Portland crew
knew that his boat had won. Along the
banks of the course, according to con
servative Boston papers, were lined 60.000
spectators. At the start Portland Jumped
to the lead. As they swept down the
course the Argonaut eight which was
nearby rose from their seats and gave
them three cheers. The immense crowd
nearby took up the cry, and as the Web
footers flashed on down the stream the
cheering was taken up and from one end
of the course to the other thousands were
shouting "Portland."
The dispatches have told how Portland
drew the unfavorable course, but the
boys tell other things by which they were
handicapped. Each crew had a buoy to
turn. Portland rounded its buoy but
Titus, the bow man In the Nonpareil
boat, the headiest oarsman In the coun
try, steered Just Inside of his buoy, and
thereby gained at least three lengths.
No objection was made, of course, but It
developed afterward that at every 100
yards the New Yorkers had two repre
sentatives to watch that Portland did not
do any such trick.
Handicap Too Severe.
But further than this, Portland was
even more severely handicapped. The
Portland boat was old and heavy. Two
days before the race Murphy knew that
with their waterlogged shell hla boys
could not win, but rather than discour
age them he kept silent and did not
permit any others who might be aware of
the situation to talk to the boys. Before
the crew took the water he said: "Boys,
win or lose, I have something to tell you
after the race, but I cannot tell you
now." After It was all over Dan came
to his crew and with tears In his eyes
told them how he had known all along
that with their poor boat they had but
little chance of winning.
Two wealthy oarsmen of Worcester vol
untarily promised. If the same crew would
come East next year, to buy them the
best shell which could be made, and to
present It to them, for, they said, they
knew, other conditions being equal, that
there was no crew in America which
could defeat them. At Worcester they
were entertained In royal style. Staid
Easterners went wild over the husky lads
from the Far West. On the streets peo
ple would stop and stare. Others would
come to them, make themselves known
and offer them congratulations.
The journey home was almost a mod
ern Roman triumph. Everywhere along
the line were oarsmen at the depots to
greet them. At Chicago they spent a day
and at St. Paul they were entertained two
days by the St. Paul Boat Club. Here
they entered In an eight race on the Mis
sissippi, and their boat won.
Record of Crew.
While away from home the boys de
feated seven crews and were passed, but
twice. They led over all their opponents
a distance of 1000 feet, and were them
selves beaten In all but 50 feet. Contrary
to expectations, they arrived In Worces
ter fit to make the race of their lives.
All were In perfect health and worked
down to pure muscle.
The crew will break up now. after their
Invasion of the East. Pemberton and
Zimmerman will leave in a few days for
Stanford University, where they will soon
again begin rowing under the tried Mur
phy. Smid and King have their homes
In this city. All are determined to get
together again next Summer, and the
rowing club has already expressed Its
willingness to send them East once more.
BET FIGHT WILL BE OX SQCARE
Sullivan's Offer on Gans Behalf.
Many Sulllvans Ask Advice.
GOLDFIELD, Kev.. Aug. 20. L. M.
Sullivan has sent Eddie Graney, the San
Francisco fight promoter, the following
telegram:
Gans wishes to post $5000 with you as &
bet, open to anyone, that hi flitht with Kelson
will be absolutely fair. Gans loses money If
he fouls Nelson. Ho will accept no decision
on & fowl by Nelson.
"We will leave nothing undone to prove
to the world that this will be a square
fight from start to finish," said Gans'
backer. "Gans can have all of my
money he may want for bets of this
character."
No less than 123 Sulllvans, most of
them miners, have openly claimed rela
tionship to the trust company presi
dent In the last week and nearly two
score other Sulllvans have written In
from ail over the country. Most of them
desired their namesake's advice In re
gard to betting on Gans. To them all
and to nearly 1500 Irishmen In camp
also, who had expressed a desire for
similar Information, Sullivan Issued a
statement today. He offered to handle
all bets they make on Gans to win the
fight, under a guarantee that, if the
fight Is won by Nelson on a foul or there
Is any sign of a fake, their money shall
be returned He Is Indorsed by James
Degan, cashier of Nle Ormsby Bank, a
man of the same nationality. More than
I3OO0 was posted with the Sullivan Trust
Company during the day under this
guarantee.
An automobile contest between Bar
ney Oldfleld and Charles Christmas, the
champion speed driver of Nevada, may
be the attraction in Goldfleld on the
morning of Labor Day Instead of a wide
ly heralded bullfight. The Goldfleld Ath
letic Club met today to consider the
matter.
Hundreds of letters of protest from
preachers. Young Men's Christian Asso
ciations and Ladles' Benevolent Societies
have been received by Tex Rlckard since
the announcement of the proposed bull
fight. It was the feeling of the promi
nent men present that to hold the bull
fight in the face of such decided oppo
sition would be unwise.
A large crowd filled Nelson's training
quarters this afternoon and applauded
the Dane at his work. The last 25 min
utes of the hour were spent In wrestling
and sparring with Jack Clifford. Nelson
Is clearly In his best fighting trim. Twice
when Clifford gave him an opening he
landed so hard as to knock the former oft
his feet. From start to finish of the
three rounds he "mixed It up," and
showed that he has no tdeparted from his
regular mode of fighting.
Gans still sticks to the lighter work in

HUNDREDS WILL COMPETE
Entries for the National Individual
Match May Exceed 1000 Suc
cessful Marksman Will HeJ
ceire $1000 In Cash.
SEAGIRT, N. J., Aug. 20. The great
target competition to be held here, be
ginning August 27. will be the occasion
of the largest gathering of military rifle
shots ever held In this country. The
meet will be under the auspices of the
National Board for the Promotion of
Rifle Practice, the National Rifle Asso
ciation of America and the New Jersey
State Rifle Association. It is expected
that at least 40 teams of 12 men each,
representing the several states, the
Army, Navy and Marine Corps and Is
land possessions, will compete In the Na
tional team match alone. In the Na
tional individual match a modest esti
mate is that the competitors will num
ber fully 1000 men.
The National Individual match Is at
tracting attention to an unprecedented
degree this year by reason of the attrac
tive prizes offered. The match is shot
under the auspices of the National Board
for the Promotion of Rifle Practice, and
Congress has provided four gold medals,
four silver medals, four bronze medals
and $390 In cash for prizes. Private par
ties, however, have contributed $2010 ad
ditional, making a total of $2400, the larg
est sum ever offered In this country for
cash prizes in a rifle competition. The
first prize Is $1000 in cash and the gold
medal provided by Congress. That al
most approximates the King's prize, pre
sented by King Edward to .the National
Rifle Association of Great Britain, which
amounts to $1250, and which is accompa
nied by a gold medal and a gold badge.
General Interest is centered on the Na
tional team match, also authorized by
Congress and conducted under the aus
pices of the National Board for the Pro
motion of Rifle Practice. This competi
tion is open to teams of 12 men each
from the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, the
military and naval academies of the
United States, and the National Guard of
each state and the District of Columbia.
The Army Is allowed to enter two teams,
one representing the infantry and the
other the cavalry.
Neither West Point nor Annapolis will
compete In the match this year. First
prize Is the National trophy, $300 In cash
and gold medals for the team members,
all provided by Congress. There are
five other prizes, including the Hilton
trophy and the bronze "Soldier of Mara
thon." Under the supervision of the National
Rifle Association of . America a large
number of competitions will be 'shot. In
cluding the President's match for the
military championship of the United
States, and the Wimbledon cup match.
The most Important of the many con
tests under the auspices of tne New Jer
sey States Rifle Association will be the
Dryden trophy team match. The leading
prize Is an unusually costly trophy, pre
sented by United States Senator Dryden,
of New Jersey.
The tournament will begin with the
matches of the National Rifle Associa
tion of America and of the New Jersey
Rifle Association. They, 'will be In prog
ress an entire week. The National
matches are scheduled to start Labor
Day, Monday, September 3, and to con
tinue through to Thursday of that week,
and probably longer. (
The order of events will be:
The Columbia trophy match and com
pany team match. Monday, August 27;

TRAINED MEN ARE NEEDED
Politics Has No Place In Forestry
Work, Says Adolph Aschoff.
Adolph Aschoff. of Marmot, Clackamas
County, formerly supervisor In the for
est ranger service in the Cascade re
serve, was in -Portland yesterday. Mr.
Aschoff made an enviable record in the
service. He accepted the appointment
because of the interest he took in the
preservation of the forest wealth of the
state. While acting as ranger and su
pervisor he expended money from his
own funds In excess of his salary to for
ward the work. UnSer his direction over
600 miles of trails were built through
the mountains and cabins built at many
points for the accommodation of travel
ers who desire to visit Oregon's moun
tains and forests.
"Unless men are appointed to the serv
ice who have a liking for the work and
are Interested In It, they will do little
good In guarding the standing timber of
the state," said Mr. Aschoff. "If one
does not know the mountain and does
not take a personal interest in safe
guarding the timber, he is better off
outside of the service rather than in
it."
Mr. Aschoff deplores the fact that
friends of the heads of the department
are given positions as rangers who have
no training for the work. This results
In Injury to the service. Good men have
been displaced, pays Mr. Aschoff, to
make way for others with a friend at
court who have taken the position with
the sole end in view of earning money
easily.

MAR9HFIEL.D, Or., Aug. 20. (Special.)
Martin Federson, 15 years of age, lost
his right arm in the Dean Lumber Com
pany's sawmill, and came near being
ground to pieces. He was feeding the
planer and in some manner got his fin
gers caught in the feed rollers. Inch by

knives. His cries for helpattracted a
fellow-workman, who stopped the ma
chine Just in time to prevent his body
from being ground up.
Pederson's arm, which was amputated
near the shoulder, was frightfully man
gled. He recovered from the operation
and Is now getting along nicely. It was
Just a few short weeks ago that Peder

FIGHT OVER STREET PAVING
Baker City Council Is Tied Hand
and Foot by Injunction.
BAKER CITY. Or.. Aug. 20. (Special.)
Baker City's Council found Itself tied
hand and foot by Judge Smith's Injunc
tion when tonight it attempted to consider
bids on paving Front street. The Injunc
tion was granted late this afternoon, and
when the Salons had convened tonight to
accept bids on the work they found the
Judge had prohibited it.
This is the first gun in a fight between
the Warren Bros. Construction Company
and the Barber Asphalt people. It will
be, so representatives of both sides de
clare, a fight to a finish. The complaint
upon which Judge Smith issued the in
junction was filed this afternoon by Sen
ator Hart. As plaintiffs appear S. A.
Hellner. Mary Richardson and 16 other
prominent property-owners.
The complaint charges that the city Is
making a contract with a monopoly and
is going against public policy by fostering
a trust. It charges that the actions of
the Council are ultra vires, null and void.
