12 THE MORNING OREGOXIAN, MONDAY, JANUARY 25, WOV. M'MANUS GOES TO NORTHWEST CLUB Veteran Backstop From Mon treal Is Secured for Casey's Team. GOSSIP OF THE MANAGERS JSeanniont and Murray Will Handle Mask and Mitt for Coasters. Northwestern League Gets Portland Holiday Dates. B V W. J. FETRAIN. Catcher Frank Beaumont, who was at first slaved by Manager McCredie as the reirilar backstop for Pearl Casey's Northwestern League team, is to divine his work with Catcher Murray In the Coast League, ar.d in his place he new fam will have Catcher Frank McManua. formerly of the Montreal olub of the Eastern League. McManus l one of the game's veteran catchers and because he Intends to use a number of young pitch ers In the Northwestern League. Mc Credie belle vea a man of MrManus t xoerunce will assist them to better ad vantage than would a younger man. Kournier. the clever youngster secured from Aberdeen, will aFsift McManua back of the hat for Cawy's team, and between the two of them, the newvelub will he well fortified. MrManus Is free to Ign this year, for Montreal released him at the close of the season because of a disagreement 01 salary and the player Immediately wrote to McCreclle for a Job and Mac aceeptea Ms proposition. McManua and McCredie formerly played together, and the Tort land manager thinks he is a first-class backstop and believes he will strengthen the Northwestern team greatly. The acquisition of this player also re lieves Mac of all worry as to who he was to wcure to till out the Pacific Coast club, for Beaumont and Murray will eomnrise as formidable a ret of catch ers ax can be collected by any of the other clubs. Tim announcement that the Pacific Coast League would play no holiday dates In Portland proved welcome news to the Northwestern bunch, for Casey's team will have the benefit of appearing before the fans of thus city on Decora tion day. July 4 and Labor day. the three best babali dates of the season. While the allotting of the holidays' to tho Northwestern club may look like a disadvantage to the Pacific Coast team, the fact remains that It was an excellent move, for In this manner 9u.cramento will be benefited considerably by the s-hedulins of these dates at home. P.y the new arrangement, Portland plays at San Francisco on Decoration day and July 4. and at Los Angeles on Labor day and Admission day. both of which latter dates are good at the Angel City. . The Pacific Coast League, opens Its season on Tuesday, March 30. and after playing two weeks in the South, Port land comes home for the opening of the season here on April 13. The opening Pacific Const League series will consist of threo weeks, ending Sunday, May 2. and on the following Tuesday. May 4. the Northwestern team will make Its formal bow to the Portland fans. In the latter organization, the Portland team will probably open tho season at Spo kane, although this will not be positively settled until Saturday. February S. when the Northwestern magnates" hold their schedule meeting at the Oregon Hotel in this city. However, the new Portland team Is practically assured of opening In Spokane, while Seattle and Tacoma will hold forth at Seattle, and Aberdeen and Vancouver at Vnncouver, for these dates are most satisfactory to the man agers of the various clubs. Tearl Casey, manager of the Portland Northwestern League club, has received a letter from Adolph Vollendorff, a left handed iiltrher from Denver, who desires to play here next season. Casey says he knows Vollendorff and has taken the new man's proposition up with McCredie ami It is possible that-he will be signed up for the new club. President Lucas, of the Northwestern league, expects to put In a busy week during the ensuing" few days, for the open dates of the Pacific Coast League schedule will be received by him in a day or two. after which he will com mence framing up the dates of the Northwestern league. He expressed himself as dellght.nl to learn that the Northwestern would have the holiday dates in Portland. ... It is a safe bet that George Van Haltren. the veteran of the Oakland club, who has been displaced in the man agement of tiie Commuters by Bernle Mrfay. will be. found in the Coast league. Van has not yet been released by Oakland, but sbould such an event take, place, he will find three or four clubs after him immediately. San Francisco expects to secure First Pasrman Tennant from the Chicago White Sox as part of the deal for Roily Zc:der. Tennant w as one of the best men in the Texas League last season and was drafted by Comisky and will hardly displace "Jlggs" Donohue or Frank Isheil from the Initial sack of that lub.

BETHUHE LED ALL Famous Old-Time Sprinter Victim of Pneumonia. Is STORY OF HIS LONG CAREER Review of Feats of Sonic of the Great Footracers of ltygone Days Shows Many Celebrities. The death of Harry Bethune at Cleve land a few days ago marks the passing of one of the greatest foot racers of his or any other age of which there is any record. The statement that Bethune was a great runner is oftentimes ques tioned because he never claimed a rec ord any better than 9 4-5 seconds for tho 100-yard dash, yet It cannot be fralnsaid that this man was the premier of his day. He lost considerable of his popularity because, as the same com menced to decline, he allowed himself to be used In several questionable races. However, this was a common practice among; the lesser lights of the old foot-racing days, and Bethune was never able to save any of his earnings. and when the game commenced to de cline he was forced to get the money in any manner possible. Despite the questionable races in which this famous foot-racer participated; his really great feats stamp him as the greatest pro fessional runner for the short distances of modern times. The sporting- editor of the Cincinnati Enquirer pays the fol lowing tribute to the dead athlete: Great Tribute to Bethune. "The death of Harry Bethune at Cleveland. O., the other day took away one of the greatest sprinters of the past century; In fact, that the world has known. He was only 50 years of age, but he had lived a pretty rapid life and had gone through more than the ordl nary mortal. Bethune came of a fine family at Toronto. Canada, and reports have it that his father was at one time Judge there. At ore time Bethune was considered the champion professional sprinter of the world, sharing: the honor with the late Harry Johnson. "Bethune had a record of 9 4-5 for 100 yards, made in a race against M. K. Kittleman, of Monroe. Mich., at Oak land. Ca!., February 22, 1888, Just 20 years ago. It has always been asserted that had Bethune been correctly timed at that time he would have had a rec ord of better than 9 4-5. A friend of the dead sprinter, who had known hir" for 25 years, and who attended many of his races, had this to say of him: ' 'In the hands of old-time track men there Is no doubt that Bethune could bo 100 yards In better than 9 4-5. At the rare track in Detroit In tne early '90t I saw Harry run the distance In 9 3-5, for I timed hint myself, but the time was announced as slower, and I have always been convinced that he could have even beaten that time. He never tried to claim better than 9 4-5. He traveled all over the United States and Canada and also toured England, meeting all comers. During; that time he won hundreds of sprint races and was hardly ever beaten unless he wanted to let the other man win.' " Freund Huns Ills Last Hace. Strangely coincident with the death of Bethune came the demise of Gus Freund. one of Bethune's racing part ners and a man who, while only a second rater compared to the cham pion, was a well-known figure at the different games in the olden days of the Caledonian circuit. Freund was conducting a saloon and roadhouse near Cleveland and was shot by a highwayman, succumbing to his wound the day after the death of Bethune. Bethune succumbed to an attack of pneumonia, which disease seems to have been the bane of most all. the old time sprinters. , Of the men who formerly starred on the cinder path, or any old kind of a level road in the days of 20 years ago, only a few of them survive. "Dad" Moul ton, the Teteran trainer of the Stanford University track and field athletes, is one of the few survivors of the good old days, and Jack King, of Portland, la another who was rated with the cham pions of 20 years ago. M. K. Kettle man, who belongs to a younger gener ation than Be hune and the others, re sides in San Francisco and is said to have prospered financially. "Cuckoo" Collins, a racer of Bethune's time, but who afterwards became somewhat shady, has disappeared. At least none of the old-timers now living; are aware of his whereabouts. "Dad" Trine, who frequently did the hundred under 10 seconds, and who was - v ; , - ' . 1 . i 4V v --r--X' , - - V . f 1 W fij K.-? T.'1 - W J-.- -: v II' " VU; - v is: - . . i l j . .

Bill Ken dricks, father of the old-timo "Sheffield handicaps," died several years ago -at San Francisco. Jim Kirk, who, on his retirement from the racing- gam.e bought a roadhouse at Toronto, was found murdered one day. His body had been horribly mutilated, and to this day Ills murderer has not been discovered. Frank Lewis, another fast man of the old school, died several years ago In the State Insane Asy lum at Salem. William Kiplinger re tired from the game, and, after marry ing well, settled down in Khode Island, where he died several years ago Irom an attack of pneumonia. This dread disease also took oft Archie McComb, who had made an enviable reputation on three continents. Harry M. Johnson and Bill Gilpin both succumbed to pneumonia in Cali fornia, the former at Grass Valley and the la-tter at San Francisco. John Ca zad. probably one of the greatest of the bunch, was poisoned by a woman at Leadvllle, violo.. some f iw years ago. Oscar Baker was another victim of pneumonia, having succumbed to that malady at New Orleans some time ago. The death of Bethune marks the pass ing of a man whose name was a house hold word in almost every community In the United States and' Canada, and the names of the others mentioned, -while not spoken as often, will never theless be remembered for many years to come.

The disease i3 brought about by the accumulation of uric acid, an irritating, pain-producing property in the blood. This causes a weakening and souring of the circula tion which then becomes unfit for nourishing the body, while the deposits) of uric acid in the nerves, muscles, joints and bones produce the pain and agony of Rheumatism. To treat the trouble with medicines containing pot' ash or other strong minerals, is simplv adding another poison to the already, weak, diseased blood, sapping it of its remaining vitality, and perhaps in' the end making a physical wreck of the sufferer. The one safe and only cure for Rheumatism is S. S. 3. It is nature's remedy for this disease, made entirely from healthful vegetable ingredients extracted from the roots, herbs and barks of the forest and fields. S. S. S. goes down into the blood and removes every trace of the cause of Rheumatism, cleanses and purifies the . circulation, and restores health and comfort to those who are suffering from' this painful disease. There is but one way to be sure you are not dosing your system with mineral medicines, and that is to take S. S. S.

The service I render is entirely tinlike and better than the ordinary. 1 have devised, new and scientific methods of treating men s diseases in all their phases.

Skatlnir SUi-spended for One Niht Only. Dlt. TAYLOR, The Leading Specialist Pay When Cured Varicocele There Is no necessity for surgical operations in the treatment of Varicocele. This dis ease yields complete ly to my mild and painless method, and results are far better that were ever at tained by the harsh and dangerous prac tice of cutting. But one week la required, and seldom is it even necessary to detain the patient from his business. Stricture In tho treatment of stricture I have again triumphed over sur gery. I employ an original method by which the obstructing tissue Is completely dissolved, and all In flammation and lrrl- . tatlon throughout the system Is expelled. No pain, no cutting, no dilating, and a sura cure In every Instance. A. M. to 9 P. M. Sundays, to to 1. m sr : ivien w 10 to 12. i
