CLUB REPLIES TO
SEATTLE CHARGES
Members of Multnomah Re
sent Reflections as to Their
. Amateur Standing.
M'MILLAN ANSWERS CRITIC
Declares That Portland Organiza
tron Is Endeavoring to Promote
Clean Athletics and Questions
Motives of the Criticism.
Jn yesterday's issue of the Seattle Time
there appears a long article disparaging
the. effort of the Multnomah Amateur
Athletic Club and Director E. B. Morgan
in behalf of purer athletics in the North
west. The article In question was evi
dently Inspired by some one who was
prejudiced in favor of Becretary Will
Inglis of the Pacific Northwest Amateur
Athletic Association, whose amateur
standing has been questioned. President
Oorge W. McMillan and Mr, Morgan
last night replied to the charges its set
forth.
Among the items in the Seattle article
Is the statement that Mr. Morgan aspires
for the position now occupied by Mr.
Inglis. In reply to this lr.. Morgan, who
will be ona of the men to represent Mult
nomah at the meeting In Seattle next
Saturday, declares that the assertion is
absolutely without foundation.1" He ex
pressed hinwtif In the matter as fol
lows: i.
. - . Desire to Discredit Meeting.
"Whoever inspired the article merely
df sires to cast discredit upon the objects
of the approaching meeting. 1 have no
personal quarrel with Mr. Inglls, and as
for aspiring to the position he now occu
pies, that is beyond reason. I have no
desire for the position; never have had,
and furthermore would not accept it
were it tendered me. I have not time
to attend to the demands that are made
on the occupant of that position. In in
augurating the campaign for which I am
held responsible,. I simply desire to pro
mote the Interests of the Pacific North
west as far as cleaner athletics is con
. eerned.
"Here In Portland we are as much in
terested in the holding of the National
Amateur Athletic Union field and track
meet in Seattle next year as are the Se
attle people themselves, and while in New
York last year. Secretary James B. Sul
livan and other dignitaries of the asso
ciation Informed me that this would be
Impossible unless a clean-cut, legitimate
amateur athletic administration was at
the head In the Pacific Northwest Asso
ciation. If Mr. Inglis. or anyone else
whose standing may be questioned, can
show that he or they are entitled to hold
their positions. I shall have no com
plaint to make. If I am sent to Seattle,
I .shull follow the Instructions given me
by the Multaomnh Club, and that Is all I
hsve to say on the subject at present." -
rrcsldcnt McMillan dealt with the Se
aiile story In detail and replied to It by
pAranrapli insofar as it referred to the
VilV.omaii Club. His reply Is as fol
lows: itcply of Mr. McMillan. ...
"I do not believe that the writer of
this story is correctly Informed as to the
objects of the coining meeting. The Times
say that Mr, Morgan aspires to dictate
to the Pacific Northwest Association, by
reason of a personal acquaintance with
Secretary James K. Sullivan, of the Ama
teur Athletic Union. 1 do not know that
Mr. Morgan has any such acquaintance
or that he aspires to dictate to any one.
1 believe him to be honest In his conten
tions, and am hot aware that he wishes
to succeed Mr. Inglis, or any one" else
connected with the Northwest Associa
tion. Mr. Morgan is well versed in ama
teur laws, and will be one of the dele
gates from Multnomah to be sent to Se
attle next Saturday.
"The Times says Mr. Sullivan is hired
at a salary. I cannot see that that is
anything to his discredit, for he is chosen
by delegates from all over the United
States and Canada to act in that capacity,
and as he la required to look after some
50.01 or more athletes in annual competi
tions in various parts of his Jurisdiction,
it seems reasonable that he should re
ceive compensation for devoting his entire
time to the business of the organisation,
lie is a man of considerable experience,
and seems exceedingly capable of han
dling the position he has filled for a num
ber of years. I do not believe that his
honesty and Integrity can be questioned.
Xo Fight With Inglis.
"The Multnomah Club has 'no tight
atalnst Mi. Inglis. r personally, and I
believed most of the memhers of the
Multnomah Club are with me. have the
highest regard for Mr. Inglis. Tim fight,
as I understand it, is not a personal one
en Mr. Inglis. but merely one on the
question of the legality of the officers
of the P N. A.
"Regarding West, the boxer, whom the
article charges with professionalism
through having been a coach at the Port
land T. M. C. A.. I have no knnwloriire
of this and shall Inquire into it. If
the charge founded on fact West shall
be Investigated and expelled from the
club. We shall be pleased to listen to
any and all charges the Seattle authori
ties may care to render, and will deal
with them immediately. Relative to
Husch. the other boxer referred to, 'T
can say that he has been a member of
the Multnomah Club for years. In fact
he learned how to box in the club, and
the assertion that he is a profession! Is
without foundation.
"Tiie Seattle writer refers to an un-w-riiten
agreement between Multnomah.
Seattle and Spokane relative to the
playing of professional coaches on the
football teams. If there was such an
agreement I had never heard of it. It
Ir true that Multnomah played Pete Over
field several seasons ago, and that he
was a professional coach, but at that
time nearly all the clubs and state uni
versities In the Northwest dirt the same
thing. That same year the Oregon Agri
cultural College played Coach Steckle
and Whitman played Allen, while the
year previous Oregon played 'Locomo
tive' Smith, but no agreement was. in
effect. I.ast year the Spokane Athletic
Club played Bender and there might be
other Instances that could be mentioned.
Two years ago the Multnomah Club
abandoned the practice of hiring a pro
fessional coach, but can Seattle or Spo
kane or any other athletic Institution say
the tame
Players W ere Xot raid.
"! do not believe that Dow Walker
erer received a single penny for partici
pating In any athletic event, and I think
that to a.ail a player of his caliber Is t
a decided injustice. Uoneraan is another
man whom they charge with the insinua
tion that he Is a professional. t may
he true that Kirby is a professional, but
if he is 1 hsve never been informed of
any such thing. However, if the Seattle
men can furnish the proof we shall see
that he will not play again.
"As far as the charges against myielf
are concerned I believe that my record
will stand for itself and I do not care to
take any cognizance of the assertion of
this writer, whom I believe to be Misin
formed. The Multnomah Club is willing
to leave any and all of its acts open t
question and will refer any disputed
point to the governing board of the
Amateur Athletic Union and abide by the
decision of that body. - 1 do not believe
that any one club in the Northwest is
any better or any worse than another,
but we do contend that we have made
and will continue to make an honest
effort to clean up amateurism in this
section of the country, and will labor
with all our power to promote cleaner
amateur athletics In every sense of the
word."
In conclusion President McMillan an
nounced that Mr. Morgan and T. Morris
Dunne would represent' the elub at the
Seattle meeting next Saturday. He also
expressed the belief that the Portland
Rowing Club would send Richard Hart
and President Ralph Wilbur to that
meeting.

SAX LUIS OBISPO. CM.. March 22.
(Staff Correspondence.) Portland hung
the skidoo sign on the local ball tossers
this afternoon, and when it came time
for tea and dessert the score stood 23 to 2.
The game narked the revival of base
ball in this thriving little California
town after a two-year layoff. It was aiso
the celebration of the new baseball park,
built by the San Luis Obispo business
men and ardent fans. The fans turned
out from miles around and more people
saw the game than paid In Santa Barbara
to see both White Sox games.
A chap named' Ball, who once wore a
Frakes uniform and also played around
Pendleton, heaved them down the alley
for the locals, and he was certainly easy
picking for the Portland sluggers. -
Bassey lined out a homer, a triple, a
two-bagger and a single. Danzig drove
out a triple and a double and Cooney also
hit for two bases. In the sixth -inning
McCredie's crew chased 14 runs over
th- plate. In the eighth everybody was
dead tired and was willing to allow the
locals two runs. Harmon worked five In
nings, fanning five men; Bloomfield
pitched three innings and struck out four
men. Finance pitched the last inning.

VANCOUVER TEAM TRIED OUT
Promising Material Developed for
Trl-City League.
.Many, .fans were attracted to the
Vaughn-street grounds yesterday after
noon to witness the initial tryout of Cap
tain Hcsler's aggregation of players from
which the Vancouver team in the Trl
City League will be selected. Candidates
for places on the team were divided into
two teams for a practice game, the "Yan
kees" defeating the "Yanncgans" " by a
score of 1 to 0. The contest was umpired
by Alex Cheyne.
Sufficient material was represented in
the two teams to make a formidable
nine. Promising twirlers were recognized
in Meile, formerly with the Wabashers;
Pender, . Troch, of the Wassau. (Wis.)
League; -and Jack Olney. For catcher.
Shea, a Portland .production, will prove
equal to the occasion, while McBride is
an. effective batter and is considered a
valuable sub-catcher. Three men showed
up good in the outfield as follows: Hel
ser,. Jimmy Ahren, originally from Creigh
ton University, .. and who. later played
with Fort Scott In the Missouri Valley
League and in the Kansas City League;
and Benny Briggs, an old favorite with
the Trl-City fans.
Farrell and Woods, young lads from
Vancouver, bave been ordered to continue
to report for practice and may yet intake
the team. Williams and McConnell are
the contestants for first base. Other
aspirants for places on the team who are
giving a good account of themselves are:
Lodell, formerly of the Everett and -Cub
leagues; Johnnie Frey, who promises to
be a fixture in the infield; and Hunter,
formerly of the Idaho League. Captain
Turk is starting off with a good record
as an effective hitter.
The two teams were lined up as follows:

ALL-STARS TEAM IS DEFEATED
Wabash Xine Wins From Trl-City
League Players.
The Wabasn Independent team and the
All-Stars, an aggregation of semi-professional
players from various Tri-City
League clubs, took advantage of the
weather yesterday to play a game of
baseball on the I3ast Side grounds. The
final score was 13 to 4 in favor of the
Wabash nine.
Owing to the absence of the regular
Wabash twirlers. the veteran, Charlie
Ray, was called upon to do the pitching,
and performed in a most creditable man
ner. George Pembroke took care of the
receiving end in the most capable man
ner, and between the two they had the
leaguers guessing. Among the others to
distinguish themselves were Outfielder
"Lally" Fortier, who took "Baron" Jas
man's place at first base for the Wa
bashers. and Antoine. Gardner, Oliver
and Houston, of the All-Stars.
The Wahash club will play the St. John
team at St. John next Sunday, and is
also negotiating for a contest w"lth Man

Jump of 131 feet In the last tourna

Farmers Improve Orchards.
HARRISBURG. Or.. March 22. (Spe

such efforts for years past. Pruning,
spraying and cultivating is general,
and the watchword is to keep the good
work going until moss-covered and in
fected orchards are things of the past.
Many of the farmers own their own
spray pumps, and those that do not
are getting their work done very rea
sonably. Print Threats of Death.

THE DOCTOR says "drink beer" to the weak and the
convalescent. To those who need strength need a food and
a tonic. If it is. good for them, isn't it good for you?
The virtue of beer does not lie in the alcohol. There
is only 2A per cent, of that.
It lies in the malted barley a digested food. And in
the hops a tonic and an aid to sleep.
It lies, too, in the fact that the drinking of beer flushes
the system of waste. So would water, of course, if one
drank enough of it. But you don't drink water like beer.
When beer is pure there is nothing more healthful. And
Schlitz beer is pure. It brings no after-effects, no biliousness.
But better go without beer than to drink the wrong beer.
That is why the Doctor generally says "Drink Schlitz."
ONLY TWO GAMES
Harvard Proposes to Curtail
Football Schedule.
OTHER COLLEGES LIKEWISE
Athletic Featiree of Universities
Overbalance Real Work of Stu
dents Faculty at Cambridge
Takes Decided Action.
CAMBRIDGE. Mass., March 22. Al
though the future outcome is problem
atical, it is generally believed at Harvard
University that the i-ote of the faculty,
at a special meeting on Friday night,
recommending an intercollegiate agree
ment to reduce the number of intercol
legiate contests, will have no effect what
ever upon any of the matches arranged
for this academic year.
But in the opinion of many Harvard
men, there is a strong possibility of a
radical change next Fall in the football
schedule. There Is even a prospect. It is
asserted, that the schedule may be cut
to two gamesVand that the Harvard
team's public activity in this line of sport
may eventually be limited, theugh prob
ably not this year, to contests with Yale
and one other college only probably
Dartmouth.
The supporters of this take the view
that football should 1)e put on a plane
with rowing and that the football, like
the boat crew, should be trained and de
veloped for not more than two or three
contests. At a conference last Fall, the
New England College Presidents, in an
swer to a request by President Eliot,
voted in favor bf curtailing the schedules
of intercollegiate athletic contests.
SCHEDULE CUT IX THE WEST
Colleges Find It Necessary to
Shorten Football Season.
CHICAGO. March 22. Professor Albion
W. Small, the representative of the Uni7
verslty of Chicago on the Western Inter
collegiate Conference, said today, regard
ing the action of Harvard University in
reducing the number .of intercollegiate
contests:
"I am not familiar with conditions in
the East, but if they are at all simitar to
those recently prevailing In the West,
some such action as has been taken by
Harvard University was Inevitable. The
athletic features of the universities have
grown of late to counterbalance the other
work, and I fully believe that other east
ern universities will be compelled to fol
low the lead of Harvard. In the West,
we have taken action by which the num
ber of contests was reduced."

DEFENDS -KLICK TICKET
Democrat Says Its Candidates Owe
Their Party a Duty.
PORTLAND. March 22. (To th Editor.)
In a lettrr to the editor, published this
morn,"- Mr. F. A. Spencer aya:
W Mlt l gladly dmit my Democracy, the
of my name in connection with the
otTlee of Representative for Multnomah
County is unauthorized, and under no cir
cumstancea am I a candidate for any office."
In Jutic to Mr. Spencer and tho other
gentlemen whose names appear on the
ticket indorsed by the Kentucky Kllck I
ny say that not one of them Is a candi
date or was consulted. It Is not a case of
men seeking office, but offices seeking men.
Great care was taken In the choosing of the
names which appear upon the ticket to have
representative men, whose names were a
platform within themselves: men In whom
the people would have confidence; men
whose business experience has taught them
that It la dangerous to forsake principle for
the individual, who might be subject to
"brain storm;" men who hold to JefTersonian
principle as against Hamiltonlan ideas.
For the past ten years about ten or a
dosen politicians in our party have arraved
themselves Into two factions which vied with
each other a to who should name , the
ticket. In the end one would fuse with this
or that "disgruntled bunch,' until our party
has dwindled and dwindled, and now la
about to lose official recognition, while the
city haa doubled and quadrupled its popula
tion. Under the primary law. the people have
the right to name the men who are to make
and execute their laws, without doubt this
ticket will be nominated as named.' Some
Republicans have said these business men
will not qualify if nominated. Mr. Spencer
haa not said he would not serve. Under
the law, they are morally bound to serve.
They owe It to the people in whose city
they have achieved success. They owe it
to the hundreds of then employes as an ex
ample of good vltiienshlp. They owe it to
the party whose principles they cherish.
The primary law is on trial and Its success
depends largely upon their actions.
