TIFE MORNING OREGOXIAX, TUESDAY- NOVEMBER 3. 1903. . CLUB MAY DEBAR AMATEUR COACHES Multnomah Atfiletes Training Teams for Money Hit by Resolution. WANT PURER ATHLETICS Board or Directors Takes Action Against Members Teaching Ath letics for Hire, Which May Bar Some From Membership. "W recommend that announcement be rnade publicly that the Board of Directors cf the Multnomah Amateur Athletlo Club disapproves of the members of this club coaching or teaching athletics for money, and that all members who do this shall forever after be disqualified from repre senting the club In any public athletic contest or competition whatsoever. (Signed) Edgard E. Frank, James F. Ewlng. Committee' This resolution was presented before the Board of Directors cf the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club last Tuesday night, and was Immediately adopted. On the face of It this action does not appear as drastic aa it really is. but If it should be strictly enforced, several star athletes of the club are likely to be deprived of mem bership, for a by-law states that no one can be a member who 4a not eligible to compete In a contest. Prominent members of the club, like Dave Jordan, Her. Paul Rader, Percy iBIanchard. Gordon Moores and others who are employed at coaching High School and other football teams at pres ent, can be Included under the ban and expelled from membership In the Multno mah Club. The resolution provides that only thoes who are being remunerated financially for their work at coaching may be wo dealt with, but a loophole of escape Is offered If those coaching the lnterscholastic teams do the work gratis, for thereby they may escape the edict. The reasons for this sweeping resolu tion are tnreefold. In the first place the directors of the 'Multnomah Amateur Ath letic dub are devoting practically all of their Influence toward cleansing "amateur thirties In the Northwest of any tinge of professionalism, no matter how slight It may be. Therefore they will not coun tenance the least Infringement of the amateur laws. By forcing the issue in this matter the club hopes to prevent greater and more serious violations at a later date. Then there Is another reason. Accord ing to persons in touch with the situation In club circles there seems to be a ten dency on the part of a number of the b?st athletes of the club to devote their time and attention to developing high school and academic teams instead of lending their much-needed services to the club Itself, and this reason is really tne principal cause of the action of the direc tors last week. The Multnomah Club contends that if these members are to continue to receive the benefits attend Ing membership In the club, they can much better serve the Interests of the or ganisation, as well as the club's stand for purer athletics, by abstaining from con tracting for a few dollars to coacn an in trreoholaslic elub. In this edict the dl rectors do not pretend to censure any of the club's atnletes who see fit to act as coaches provided they do not peddle their services for financial gain. While the resolution was passed at last weks meeting. It was not announced until last night. Nevertheless It has been discussed generally in club circles, and has created considerable alarm among the members who are hit by it. Some of the men aneeted have been in the habit of giving their time and attention to minor clubs during the early season with the expectation that the club would call upon them to play at a later date. The drastic action of the club In the matter, however, disposes of such action this year, and unless those affected can es tablish th fact that r-y have accepted nothing In the way of financial reward, they will be debarred from future partici pation for Multnomah. At the meeting of the Board of Direc tors tonight It is expected that several of the athletes affected by this order will appeal from the decision of the board, or at least request that summary action be not taken in their cases until the matter can be discussed and adjusted satisfac torily. Several who have been coaches refused to discuss the matter last night. In addition to the above action the 3fultnomah Club has also adopted a new schedule of Initiation fees to take effect January 1. 1909. The new schedule does not affect the regular dues of the mem bers, but merely the Initiation fees. The new schedule is as follows: LJfe member ships. $150; active memberships. $40; Inter mediate memberships. $20, and junior memberships (boys' dues), J7.50 per an num.

Then the teamster is accused of having armed himself with a club and with the combined Influence of the club and the strength or the front horse at tempted to force the balky animal to move. It was 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon when the complaint was made. Fifteen minutes later the teamster had been ar rested, tried and fined for cruelty to animals In the sum of $25. CITY QUIET ELECTION EVE Only Excitement Contributed by Sixth-Street Socialist Orator. There was disappointment In store for those who came down town- last night In the hope of witnessing scenes of ante- election excitement for the evening and night were as quiet and indeed more so, than the average evening in Portland. The onlv relief to the monotony for ex citement-seekers was the noise-maker who spoke in the interest of the Socialist party at Sixth and Washington streets. He entertained a big crowd, so big that Sixth street was entirely blocked with a swarming crowd of Interested listeners. Freauent shouts of approval ana out bursts of enthusiasm marked the progress of the speaker's address and for an hour or more he harangued the crowd. On Washington street there was the usual crowd early In the evening, walk 1ns and promenading, but apparently little concerned about the result of to day's National vote. At Slxtn and wasn lngton streets there was the usual crowd of sports and near-sports about the cigar store, some making real Deis ana many four-flushing and talking. At other cigar stores there were several bets but tne crowds on the streets gave lime inaica tion of interest in today's election. BILLIARDS. The Waldorf. 7th and Washington."

The men weighed in at 3 in the afternoon. Summers had'the better of the first two rounds and Britt, seeming to realise his disadvantage, put more energy into his work and shaped up much better In the succeeding rounds. The Englishman showed great clever ness and in the sixth, seventh and eighth rounds looked to be a winner. Britt came back, however, and fought his man to the ropes, having a considerable advan tage in the ninth and tenth rounds. The American was the winner on points, al though a considerable number of the spectators questioned the referee's de cision.

GAME IS WELL PLAYED Only One Decision by Referee Raises Filing Teams Well ' Matched and Every Play Is Hotly Con--tested by Opposing Line. Stephens School won a well-played game from the Irvington School yester day afternoon on the field at East Thir teenth and Davis streets by the score of 6-0. Both teams put up an excellent article of football for grammar school elevens. Irvington School deserving spe cial praise for the plucky fight it made against its heavier opponents. About 60 'girls from the two schools were on hand to cheer on their teams and Interest in the game was Intense throughout the contest. Stephens School i A A.inhitnwn a fro.- tthnut Ave minutes', play In the first half, but after . that there was no scoring aimuuBii ui team was near the opponent's goal at various times. An unfortunate decision by the referee In the first half, by which he gave the ball to Stephens School after an Irvington player had fallen on It, marred what might otherwise hav been, a game devoid of criticism and marked by lack of argument with the referee. This play preceded a score by the Ste phens boys and caused much Indignation against the Irvington eleven and Its ad mirers. Throughout the first half Stephens had the better of it and gained ground suc cessfully, whereas the Irvington eleven was unable to do anything against its heavier opponents' line. A touchdown by the Stephens team was spoiled by the calling of time for the first half. The second period brought about a re versal of form in the Irvington team and after the first few minutes It had considerably the better of the argument. Play was mostly In Stephens' territory and oly iy the greatest kind of a brace was a touchdown averted. Stephens heavy back-field repeatedly broke up plays through the line and It was only by re iving on end-runs and trick plays that the Irvington team could gain ground. Kirkland -and Maglns were the . best ground gains for Irvington. each suc ceeding in making long runs In the sec ond half.
