Newspaper Page TextTHE MORNING OREGONIAN, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1908. II FIRST FIGHT WON BY GOUNTRY CLUB Organization Forces North Pa cific Fair Association to Grant Racing Dates. FOLLOWING SALEM FAIR Stormy lebate' After Request and Local Organization Is . Dropped From Membership, but Com pels a Reconsideration. ' After many hours of debate the North Pacific Fair Association at its annual meeting in this city yesterday finally con coded to the Portland Country Club the dates It had applied for and elected of ficers. The officers elected are president. "William F. Matlock; vice-president. Rob ert H. Cosgrove, of Spokane; secretary and treasurer, M. D. Wisdom. The new board of appeals will be G. A. Graham, of North Yakima; Dan Currle, of Ever ett; F. E. Alley, of Roseburg, Frank Welch, of Salem, and J. Et Shrewbury, of Seattle. There' was no hitch In proceedings until it came to the allotment of racing dates; then a mishty wrangle began. G. A. Westgate, secretary of the Portland Country Club, had made application for membership In the association and de manded racing dates following the Oregon State Fair. This did not suit some of the delegates from "Washington. They quick ly formed a combination and insisted upon forcing Portland to accept dates earlier in September. Then .Mr. West gate announced that unless the associa tion could see Its way clear to give Port land the dates sought, the Country Club would withdraw, inasmuch as It had an nounced when seeking membership that It's coming in depended upon whether the dates asked for were allowed. It did not seem to strike the Washington delegates as possible that the Country Club could give a livestock show and a race meet without being a member of the association. But when It became ap parent there was no way in which to keep Portland in line, and when they were finally convinced that with the Country Club offering $20,000 In purses and JJO.000 in stock prizes, the harness men and five stock men would exhibit at Portland rather than at North Yakima and other Washington points, there was a break In the ranks. After a long wrangle the reso lution dropping Portland from the circuit was rescinded. Creates More Trouble. This paved the way for Mr. Westgate to make application again for membership to the association, which he did. But the atmosphere was not cleared, for again admitting Portland threw the racing dates back a week, and this was objected to by R. H. Johnson, of Walla Walla, and W. H. Gibson, of Boise. Rather than ac cept the dates allotted them,' these cities were at first inclined to withdraw from the association. Rather than have this action taken it was decided that Walla Walla and Boise be allowed to select dates the same as those of Portland, North Yakima or Spokane. While the association members were quibbling over racing dates, the. members of the Oregon Pure Bred Livestock Asso ciation, holding a meeting on the same floor, passed a resolution, adopting a fair circuit, starting with Salem, following with Portland and then going down the line through the circuit of the Northwest. When the members who had . held out against Portland, discovered that the breeders were with the Country Club, there was a decided change n front. Al though the resolution was placed on the table It had the effect of showing that without the exhibitors of livestock, the fairs would not amount to much. J. A. Flleher, secretary of the Califor nia Slate Agricultural Society, came from Sacramento to attend the meeting and applied for admission to the association. Mr. Filcher was present In behalf of the California society and promised to do all he could to have the California exhibitors ship to the Northwest. All the delegates were guests of the officers of the Coun try Club at a banquet given last night at the Commercial Club. The list of the stakes and purses ar tiinsjed by the Country Club, the Oregon State Fair, North Yakima and Spokane follow: Portland Meeting. Monday, September tl. Va.inc.

ARRANGING BOXIXG TOURNEY Tommy Tracey's Amateurs Will Ap pear in Squared Circle. Tommy. Tracey Is preparing to hold the second of the monthly tournaments inau gurated at the Columbia Athletic Club last month. A number of his most promis ing young boxers have signified their desire to appear before the public and matches are now being arranged. The date of the tourney has not yet been set for the reason that the management desires to secure two or three more, matches before presenting the exhibition. An application for a chance before the club has been received from Private James Donohue, Battery A, Fourth Field Artillery, U. S. A., who desires to be matched In the welter-weight division. Manager Tracey has written him that he would be glad to list him as an entry, providing that he Is a bonaflde amateur. A number of other outside entries have been received and Tracey is engaged In investigating the standing of the applicants. DALY WINS CHAMPIONSHIP Defeats Cline In Three-Cushion Bil liard Match. ST.

The members of the football eleven of the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club of the past season assembled at a reunion banquet Wednesday night, which was called for the purpose of extending: to Captain Frank J. Loner gan the gratitude of each individual member of the team. The banquet was held at the Hotel Portland, and only the football players were present. During the course of the evening Cap tain Lonergan was called upon to stand up and Manager John Uoran presented him with a handsome silk watch fob bearing his initials in gold letters. This present was decided upon as most fitting by the football players because it matched the beautiful watch presonted by the club at the annual banquet last month. The selection of "Stump" Stott as captain' of the team for the coming season was ratified in the most enthusiastic manner by the members of the football squad. CMt-Chat of- Sporting World BT WTLL G. MAC BAR JIMMY ERITT is once more trying to break into the fighting game. He was at the ringside of the Unhols-Nelson fight to challenge the winner. Perhaps now that he has seen the Boer in action he will remember his broken ulna. "Jiggs" Donohue, a brother of Pat Donohue. has just been stricken with the automobile habit. His brother Pat has also become an enthusiastic knocker. A few more battles like the Attell Neil scrap will be the means of putting the lid down on the game. Then the ranks of the unemployed will be swelled by a lot of hobo fighters and their man agers. An Eastern paper says that Dr. Roller, of Seattle, is going to turn professional In order to meet Gotch. It's been many a weary day since Roller was anything else but a professional. Word comes from Los Angeles that Bobby Eager has been bought by Frank Chance. Chance says he will give Eager every chance to make good. Joy Hughes, who was once a Coast League star pitcher, before his arm went back on him. will try to get back in the game.

DISCUSSED PURE BRED LIVESTOCK ASSO CIATION MEETS. Breeders From All Parts of North west Debate Matters of Mu tual Interest. One of the largest and most successful meetings In the history of the Oregon Pure Bred Livestock Association was held yesterday afternoon in the quarters of the organization In the Hamilton building. This association arranges Its meetings so that they ire held at the same time and In the same city as the annual meet ings of the North Pacific Fair Associa tion, which under this arrangement also met In Portland yesterday. The meeting was called to order yesterday morning by President Richard Scott, of Mllwaukie, and during the forenoon and afternoon sessions a great deal of important busi ness was transacted. The meeting was attended by a large number of breeders from Oregon, Wash ington and Idaho. Last year a commit WE WILL SAVE YOU .

This committee made Its report yesterday and recommended that each fair associa tion adopt a uniform rule, both In Its classification lists and in the premiums offered. The report of the committee was adopted, but the committee, because its work was not finished was made a standing one. It will make its final re port at the annual meeting, which will be held at the close of the Oregon State Fair. By the changes In the premium lists and In the classification of livestock exhibits, the association hopes for a greater success and believes that it will be the means of bringing out larger herds at the various fairs. Another important matter taken up at the meeting was the question of shipping livestock around the circuit of the North Pacific Fair Association. For years past breeders have had their own troubles with the railroad companies and have all along maintained that they were unable to get fair treatment and that they could not risk their herds on the trains, and In eon sequence many of the breeders would not ship their herds to the fairs. In order to better conditions If possible, a railroad committee on transportation was appointed made up of the following members. President Scott, R. Wilson and Frank Brown. After the committee was appointed. President Scott called up F. H. Fogarty, assistant general freight agent of the Northern Pacific, and R. B.

Only Republican Candidate Accepts Position With Seattle Electric on Olfer Inspired by Railroads. OLTMPIA. Feb. . (Special.) The ac ceptance by A. J. Falknor, Assistant Attorney-General, of a posttlon In the legal department of the Seattle Electric Com pany, opens practically a clear field to aspirants for the Republican nomination as Attorney-General. Mr. Flaknor was to have become a candidate for the posi tion, but his acceptance of the offer "made by the Seattle Street Railway Corpora tion means his retirement from political life. Falknor had the field practically to himself for the Attorney-General's chair. C. McDonald, of Spokane, also an As sistant Attorney-General at one time, had almost decided to enter the race, but a combination was made by the terms of HSfei ml ff This comfortable genuine golden oak Rocker, nicely polished, also in ma hogany finish, special $4.50 CANDLESTICKS . which McDonald was to support Falknor In Eastern Washington. This was brought about by an attractive business connection opening for McDonald In pri vate practice at Spokane. He Is said to have formed a lucrative partnership, and it is doubtful if he enters the race, even with Falknor out of It. Attorney-General Atkinson, who is not to be a candidate for re-election, says Falknor's successor, as his assistant, will not be selected with any idea of helplnK some one to the office of Attorney-General. He has Invited the railroad com mission to select a man for the vacancy, inasmuch as Falknor has 'been the as sistant delegated to the legal work of that department. Falknor's retirement from the Attorney-General's office is really a blow to trie Railroad Commission, and the pre sumption has been expressed here that the railroad companies engineered the of fering of the Seattle position tor him, in order to deprive the Commission of Its legal counsel in tne thick of the legal fight now in progress. The Commission confronts the problem of finding a law yer of ability and experience who will abandon his own practice to come to Olympla for a position In which h Is Secure for but 10 months.
