MULES IN A MILE RACE
Buster Jones Captures the Three-
Quarter Mile Running Race Dr.
Jones Takes Two-Year-Old
Trotting Race.
Three ecjendid harness events, a three
quarter mile dash and a vaudeville attrac
tion In which three pairs of mules were
cajoled and whipped around the track
were features of the racing; programme
at the Pacific National Show at the new
grounds of the Country Club yesterday.
In the second race of the day the Paci
fic Coast record for 3-year-olds was brok
en by Ray o' Ugrht. E. S. Train's crack
colt with Searchlight blood In his veins.
Jt was a 3-year-old pace for the Chamber
of Commerce purse and. as stated be
fore, it was the fastest 3-year-old race
ever run on a Western track. ' Ray o'
Light won handily in two straight heats;
time 3:064 and 2:09H-
The third race, the big event of the
day. with a field of 10. developed some
sensational racing which is not ade
quately described by the three successive
heats won by H. R. Rutherford's black
horse, Monecrat. Doc Munday. an out
sider, according to the dopesters. drove
Monecrat a fearful pace for first money,
and had the bay gelding stayed on his
fppt he might have been at the head of
the procession instead of three successive
second placeB.
In the running race, three-quarter mile
cash, there was an exciting finish. Bus.
ter Jones winning by a nose from Melar,
O. P. McNeal's bay mare that showed
wonderful finishing powers. From a
position far in the rear of the two leaders
she showed a burst of speed in the
stretch that sorely distressed the winner.
Mule Race Causes Mirth.
In the mule race, the vaudeville stunt
which caused a thousand cheers and un
mitigated mirth. AI. D. Wisdom's pair of
galloping wonders won easily from H. C.
Campbell's team. It. Emmett Drake,
the third entry, waft distanced simply for
the reason that his team refused to heed
the stinging coaxings of his wliip and
ambled along leisurely, trying once to
pause and nibble at a bunch of grass that
grew temptingly near the back stretch.
It is whispered In the paddocks that the
race was a frame-up, though no official
protest has been entered.
In the first race, a-year-old trotting,
two out of three. Dr. Jones took first
money, although he was second in both
heats. There were five entries, three of
which were scratches. The first heat
was easily won by Zomdell. Dr. Jones
was second in the heat. In the second
the two took the word evenly and went to
the half with Zomdell a length to the
pood. There the colt went off his feet
and rn clear down the stretch and past
the wire. Dr. Jones was riven the race,
though finishing second, because Zomdell
ran for half the distance. Time. z:.
Ray OLigbt Wins Handily.'
In the 3-year-old pace, two In three,
the sensational event of the day, Bay
o' Light won handily from Mortri and
Cora In straight heats. The mare fin
ished second in the first heat, while
Mortrlz took that position in the sec
ond heat. The second and third money,
accordingly, was shared evenly by the
two. Time. 2:0814 and 2:08.
Monecrat took first money in the
third race in three successive heats.
It was 2:27 class trotting. He took the
lead In the first heat and kept a good
two lengths ahead of the field till the
finish. Doc Munday, with a bad start,
closed in on him toward the end, but
failed to do better than take second
place. The second heat was practically
a repetition of the first, except that the
Munday horse crowded close on the
leader, allowing only half a length to
intervene. Byron Corbett, a bony bay,
which had remained in the background,
figured prominently In this heat, for he
climbed from way back in the rear to
third place at the finish.
The third heat showed Monecrat
somewhat distressed, or Doc Munday
wonderfully strong on the finish, for
Munday crowded the leader closely un
til the stretch, when he went up In
the air, and barely held second place
from Byron Corbett. The time was
3:16 2:13U and 2:14.
In the running race, three-quarters
of a mile, with a field of four. Buster
Jones repeated his performance of Mon
day and took first money. It waa only
by a head, however, and after a most
exciting finish, for Melar made him aw
fully tired of the distance, and in the
stretch closed a gap of at least six
lengths, losing to Buster Jones only
by a head. Birdie P finished third, and
Mary Dunn fourth. Time, 1:13 i.

ELECTION HELD IN SEATTLE
Portland Delegates Refuse to Par
ticipate in Proceedings and Have
Xothing to Offer in Explan
ation of Actions.
SEATTLE. Wash., Sept. 22. (Special.)
Edgar Frank, of the Multnomah Club, of
Portland, was elected president of the
Pacific Northwest Association of the A.
A. U. at a meeting of the board of gov
ernors held today at-the Seattle Athletic
Club. F. F. Emery, of the Spokane
Athletic Club, was elected vice-president,
and T. Morris Dunne, of the Multnomah
Club, secretary and treasurer.
The registration committee, whose duty
It is to see that all athletes competing in
meets under the auspices of the A. A. U.
are properly registered, will consist of
Morris Dunne, of Portland, chairman;
Fred Blomberg, of Spokane, and Fred
F. Carver, of the Seattle Club.
A determined effort will be made to
have the championship games of the A.
A. U. held in Seattle during the exposi
tion next year, and to provide for that
contingency a games committee was
named. This committee will nave run
charge of the games as far as the P. N.
A. is concerned and takes out of the
hand of the club under whose auspices
they are held the management of the
games.
D. G. Inveranty. oi tne oeaiiie nun,
was named as chairman of this committee
and the other members are W. M. Inglis,
of the National Guard Association: T. G.
McDonald, of the Public Schools Athletic
League; R. W. Wilbur, of the Portland
Rowing Club, and Fred Blomberg, of the
Spokane Athletic Club.
PORTL-AXDERS FAIIi TO ATTEXD
Multnomah Delegates Refuse to Par
ticipatc in Seattle Election.
Without being represented at the Seattle
meeting of the Pacific Northwest Ama
teur Athletic Association in Seattle last
night, the Multnomah Amateur Athletic
Club was voted the principal offices for
the ensuing year by that organization.
T. Morris Dunne. E. E. Morgan and Ed
gar E. Frank were delegated by the local
club to represent it at the annual meet
ing at Seattle. Dunne and Morgan went
to Seattle, but returned home without
having been in session with the other
Northwest representatives.
T. Morris Dunne refused to give any
explanation of the action of the other dele
gates, saying E. E. Morgan, cnairman ot
the Multnomah delegation, should be the
sookesman. Mr. Morgan left the city
shortly after his return from Seattle, and
is now at Tillamook on a business trip.
While he would not discuss the reasons
prompting the Multnomah delegation's
withdrawal. Mr. Dunne practically anmn-
ted that he would accept the office to
which he was elected.
Rdsrar E. Frank, president-elect of the
P. N. A., when informed last night of hia
selection for the office, said:
"The action of the P N. A. is only in
accordance with precedent and I shall ac
cept the office and do my utmost to pro
mote the interests of the organization.
I have not seen Mr. Morgan and therefore
know nothing ot the controversy, or dls
puts, if any such occurred, which led to
his withdrawal from the meeting. As far
as the Multnomah Club is concerned, we
deeire harmony In this organization and
insofar as we expect to have the A. A. L.
games at Seattle next year, it would not
be well for us to have a serious break In
the organization at present. Aside from
one member of the committee appointed
by the P. N. A. to assume charge of the
games, should they be held in Seattle, I
have no objection to that committee. As
to this man. I do not care to discuss him
at present, for I believe that his stand
ing can be determined without a dispute
arising between the Multnomah Club and
the other members of the association. As
Seattle is to have the meet, it is no more
than proper that Seattle men should
have the larger representation on the
committee which will have the planning
of the meet in hand. I wish to thank the
membersof the association for the honor
conferred upon me and shall endeavor to
perform the required duties to the best
of my ability.
