THE BIORNIXG OREGOXIAN, SATURDAY. AUGUST 24, 1907. SQUABBLE ABOUT KELLY'S STANDING Controversy Seems to Lie En tirely Between Hayward and Jack King. CHARGE PROFESSIONALISM Multnomah Club Officials lioatli to Bts Drawn Into Wrangle and Think Belligerent Agitator3 ' Should Settle It Themselves. When Jack King offered to bet $100 that Dan Kelly would not get the place (meaning to finish second) In the 100 yard dash at the A. A. U. games at the Jamestown Exposition, it was believed that the failure of Trainer Hayward to cover the wager had ended the incident, but Instead, unknown persons began throwing aspersions at King, and another athletic scandal promises to develop. King is credited with claiming that Kelly is a professional and alleges that he received a sum of money from the proceeds of the football game between the University of Oregon, of Eugene, and the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club, of this city. In the controversy between King and Hayward over Kelly the Multnomah Club has been brought into the argument, and on this account the club officials, while admitting King's thorough knowledge of athletics in this section of the country, deny that the books of the club will Bhow any discrepancy as far as the receipts of the game are concerned. On the other feand the Oregon men claim that even rere such a thing to be so and had they eld out a sum of money for any purpose 'hatever, they ask what evidence there Is to show that such a sum had been given to Kelly or to any other man. King's statement as to the money part of the deal is denied by all. and both sides fefm to agree that the dispute lies with King and Hayward, with the local club men holding the position that it is up to the State University to disprove the Port land man or discharge Hayward. Club AVould Keep Out. The Multnomah Club is not desirous of mixing up in the dispute for the reason that they do not wish to appear in the light of "knocking" Kelly, for It has been already reported that they are not pleased with Kelly's refusing to run un der Multnomah colors at the World's lair. The report is totally denied by the clubmen, who have already expressed the hope that the Oregon champion will be successful under his varsity colors. As for the allegation that the books of the club will show that jvelly received money from the football receipts, A. O. Jones, secretary of the club said: "To my certain knowledge my books will not show anything of the kind, and I think Mr. King was hasty in his state ment. Multnomah had no dealings with Kelly as far as Jamestown is concerned, neither are we sore at him for refusing our offer in preference to that of Oregon. I cannot see where we should be mixed up In the Hayward-Klng dispute, fof that is a matter to be settled between the two men and the University of Oregon. 'It King can prove his charge of profession alism against Kelly, the athlete should be dealt with by the University. Jones Denies Charge. "As for having issued any statement of the accounts of the receipts from the football games, I have never done so,' for I have never been requested to do so by a bona fide member of the club or any one else authorized to so inquire." Frank J. Lonergan, who was man ager of the Multnomah track team at the Spokane meet when Kelly made his record, which King disputes, and also at the recent meet at Seattle when Kelly failed to run, expressed himself as follows: "I have every reason to believe that Kelly made his record and is entitled to the same. I was present at the time and saw nothing wrong and will vouch for the timers. Jack King is as well posted on athletics as anyone in the Northwest, and usually knows what he is talking about, but in respect to the record made at Spokane I think he is mistaken. As to the charge of professionalism I am not in a position to dispute him for I have had no con nection with the football games ex cept as a player and know nothing re garding the handling of the funds. The controversj- eeems to lie between King and Hayward and it should be settled between them and the Uni versity of Oregon. The charge of pro fessionalism in amateur athletics is an ugly one and should be proven or dis proved immediately. As King has pub licly brought forth the charge it is up to the State University to prove it." Vhnt Edgar Frank Says. Edgar Frank, one of the club di rectors, expresses the same view of the situation as did Mr. Lonergan. "I have known Jack King for a number of years," said Frank, "and he is as well informed on athletics as anyone I know, yet I think he was hasty. "The charge of professionalism crops cut continually and several cases have been proven in the past, but in the present instance Multnomah cannot af ford to be mixed up in It for the rea son that it will, immediately be said we are sore because Kelly is not to compete at Jamestown for us. "We have no grudge against Kelly, nor have we against King, and hope .that the charges will not be continued for the sake of all concerned. The simplest way out of the matter now that, it is started seems to be that Ore gon should quietly investigate the af fair and either disprove the charge or get rid of Hayward." Jack King, when seen last evening, repeated that he was ready to back up what he said in reference to Kelly (and Hayward. His statement in brief ,is as follows: King Makes Statement. "Kelly and Hayward know that what I said was true, and I do not like the way they have tried to belittle- me in their in terviews. I have been connected with athletics for over 20 years, and know Bill Hayward from the time he started foot tracing, and furthermore, in all the time I have been in athletics no one can say that : I ever used a crooked method to attain I the end I desired, either for myself or . for any of i the athletes I have trained. ,Th wager I made, and which is still un .covered, seems to have worried some peo ple considerably. I have nothing further (to say at present." The worda "at present" were uttered in a significant manner and might be con strued to mean there may be more to fol low in the event that the matter is not dropped. When pressed for a reason as to ;why he had issued his defy in the first 3!ace. King replied, reiterating portions of hla former statement: "I have always been fair and square in yathtetlca. As is well known, the only thing an amateur hopes to attain is to se cure a record for some meritorious feat on the field or track, and do you think it Is just or right to have all the athletes of this and generations to come strive to attain or lower a record that has not been made legitimately? That's all." LEAVE FOR THE BIG REGATTA Portland Yaeht Club Sends Boats to Astoria Water Carnival.

E WILD HEAVE KILLS BEAVERS Almost Perfect Game Lost to v Angels by Costly Error. SCORES ONLY RUN MADE Barns and Kinsella Fight Pitchers' Battle - and Only One Beaver Reaches Third Fielding Al most Devoid of Blunders. LOS ANGELES. Cal., Aug. 23. (Spe cial.) One wild heave by little runt Fay in the fifth inning and a Los Angeles run came over the plate, and this was the only score made today in one of the best games of the year and one of the shortest, for Umpire Kelly kept the men moving from the start. It was a pitchers' battle between Burns and Kinsella and there was practically no difference between them. There was lit tle chance for any fancy plays, for the pitching was too good, and, aside from Fay's wild throw to first, the fielding was perfect, merely a case of which team would first be favored by luck, and the locals proved the ones. Only one man reached third for Port land and that was Atherton, who doubled to center in the second round and ad vanced on a wild pitch. Aside from Brashear, who scored the only run, Cra vath reached mlrd on his double to right in the second and Brashear's sac rifice, but he wag caught oft the bag on a double play. After one was out for the locals in the last of the fifth, Brashear singled to leit and stole second. Then Nagle hit a fast grounder near Fay and in his haste to make an out, threw wild to first and Atherton fell in trying to stretch for the ball and it rolled far enough towards the grandstand for Brashear to score from second.

WASHINGTON, D. C. Aug. 23. Quartermaster-General.. Aleshire re ports the loss for the last year In the trans-Pacific army transport service as more than half a million, as com pared with what could be secured from commercial lines. He adds, however, that it le wise to have a fleet availa ble always for the movements of troops and transportation of supplies and effects to distant fields of opera tion. Aleshire reports that the trans ports procure the bulk of their coal from Nagasaki because It Is more economical. The cost of transportation and maintenance of the American army In the Cuban pacification for the year was 12.000,000. Aleshire recommends the establishment of depots for the pur pose of more systematically procuring horses. Allows More Lettercarriers. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Aug. 23.

STATE ATTORNEY SO RULES However, if Work Is Independent of Official Duties, In Case of Treasurer, He May ltetain the Fees so Charged. OL.TMPIA, Wash., Aug. 23. (Special.) In an opinion to the Prosecuting Attorney of Cowlitz County, the Attorney-General ruled today that "the fees- charged by County Auditors or deputies for prepar ing abstracts or title, whether during or after office hours, must be paid Into the county treasury for the benefit of the county. In the same manner as the other fees officially collected by him. He also ruled that "as to County Treas urers, the preparation of ordinary ab stracts would appear entirely independent of the duties of a County Treasurer, and if the abstract In question has no connec tion with any, of the duties or courtesies of the office of County Treasurer, the Attorney-General would see no objection to the County Treasurer charging and re taining the fee. It Is not presumed, how ever, that any such Independent work would be done to the neglect of his offi cial duties. But if the abetraetingr'arises out of any matter relating to the duties of his office, a County Treasurer, If he performs the work, should either perform the same gratuitously or, if a fee Is charged, the same should be accounted for. "Whether a County Treasurer or his deputy, therefore, could charge or retain the fee for abstracting would depend upon the actual facts. In case of doubt, how ever, it should either be performed gra tuitously or the charge should be turned over to the county." DEAD OF THE NORTHWEST Albert C.
