EQUIPMENT IS BETTER
FACILITIES FOR HORSE SHOW
IMPROVED THIS YEAR.
Seating Arrangements in Oriental
Building Altered and Stables
Enlarged. ' ,
All of the facilities for holding the
Portland Horse Show in the Oriental
building on the Lewis and Clark fair
grounds. October 7. 8. and 9. have been
improved over last year. The building
itself is in better condition, and the
stables where the horses are to be quar
tered when not in the show ring have
been altered and enlarged.
The big building at the fair grounds
was hurriedly put into condition for last
year's show, and it ,was impossible to
make all the changes : that were desired.
Since then, howeiw. the building has
been used as a riding academy and is in
almost perfect condition for the big event
which is now monopolizing the attention
of Portland society.
There will be adequate facilities for
handling the big crowds that are certain
to attend every afternoon and evening of
the show. There has been no great change
in the seating arrangements, as this feat
ure gave entire satisfaction last year.
There are 86 boxes, seating six or eight
people each, arranged around the huge
show ring. There are more than 1000
seats outside the boxes and every seat
commands an unobstructed view of the
entire ring, where the finest steeds of
the Paclflo Northwest are to be shown
by their respective owners. t
A marked Improvement has been made
by removing several tiers of seats behind
a portion" of the boxes. This will leave
the boxes entirely unobstructed either
from rear or front. ' Last year one of
the most pleasant features of the .show
was the constant Interchanging of calls
between the occupants of the boxes, and
the. social spirit will again predominate
thiB year.
The Hunt Club officers say that every
box will be taken some time before the
date of the show. Already the demand
for boxes is strong and a large number
of reservations have been made. In fact.
President Cronln advise those who de
sire boxes to secure them Immediately, so
as not to be disappointed at the last
minute.
Yesterday, the formal day of closing
for entries, kept the officers busy in
their headquarters in the Lumber Ex
change building. Many local owners
added their names to the long list that
had already been received, and some
classy out-of-town horses were also
listed. The Hunt .Club officers consider
the showing as satisfactory In every way
and believe that the show this year is
certain to be even mora successful than
that of last year. The entry Hats are
still being held open fer a few days to
accommodate owners who may have
overlooked sending In their names.
BOXING TO BE REVIVED
OREGON ATHLETIC CLUB IS
FORMED IN PORTLAND.
Billy Papke Consents to Fight Here
if Suitable Opponent Can
Be Found.
Believing that the Portland sport lovers
will appreciate the opportunity of see'lng
a first-class boxing exhibition, a club has
been formed which hope to be able to
satisfy the' long-felt want of the fans of
this city, and is now arranging for a
match between Billy Papke and another
first-rater.
The new club Ik called the Oregon Ath
letic Club and the announcement was
made yesterday that Billy Papke has as
sented to a meeting in Portland with any
man in his division and he leaves the se
lection of the opponent to the manage
ment of the Portland club. So confident
of being able to stage this bout are the
promoters that wires have been sent to
Hugo Kelly, Jim Flynn and Stanley
Ketchel. although little hope Is enter
tained of getting the last named, owing
to his future dates already arranged and
also because he will probably want a
greater guarantee than could be tendered
him. In view of this being but an experi
mental proposition.
However, either Kelly or Flynn should
rlve a rattling good exhibition with
Papke and this would prove a most satis
factory introduction of the 'old-time fa
vorite Winter spor In order to secure
a satisfactory bout In the event that an
opponent for Papke is not forthcoming,
the Oregon Athletic Club has taken up
negotiations with Lave Cross and "Fight
ing" Dick Hyland for a second match.
In advertising these bouts the Ore
gon Athletic Club announce each af
fair as a boxing exhibition. Under
the rules of the club the contestants
will be required to give a bona fide
exhibition and anything savoring of a
fixed proposition will cause the con
testants to forfeit the purse. In the
case of such a forfeiture the boxer's
portion will be turned over to some
charitable organization. -
As yet no definite date for the first
match is announced, although the of
ficials of the Oregon Athletic Club ex
pect to set a date very shortly, and are
imply waiting to close with an op
ponent for Papke. Even a prospective
match is food for the hungry fans, and
the possibility of Billy Papke appearing
here will be the subject of lively dis
cussion for some lime to come.
Ths system of building embankments by
running trains of loaded cars on raJls nun
from a suspension cable above the line of
the embankment is beins; used with great
success. - '
RACES ARE CUT ,

Portland. Fair and Live

FINALS' TO BE RUN TODAY
Fine Displays in Harness Events
Arouse Enthusiasm, and Gee;-Geea
in Running Numbers Ex
cite Lively Interest,,
Rain In torrents cut hort the fine
racing programme offered by the Port
land Fair & Livestock Association on
the opening day. The finals In the
races, the opening heats of which had
excited the enthusiasm of the specta
tors, had to be postponed, and will be
run today.
The two harness events programmed
yesterday displayed high-claas speed
demonstrations, although no records
were broken. However, the class of
the entries and the closeness of the con
tests easily won the enthusiasm of the
spectators and demonstrated that some
interesting events will be in order dur
ing the five remaining days of the
meet.
The 2:25 'trot and the" 2.12 pace, in
which a number of heats were run,
proved that harness racing Is growing
more popular, for the spectators dis
played signs of sincere regret when it
was announced that the, last heats In
both these eveita would have to be.
postponed owing to the condition of the
track.
The first race was the 2:25 trot and
In this event Gloria O'Neil, a bay mare
owned by J. E. Shrewsberry. of Seattle,
took the first two heats, while Paul W.,
a bay gelding 'owned by E. House, of
Portland, captured the third heat. This
ftieans that at least one more heat must
be run In order to decide this event,
and if the latter horse or one of the
other starters captures the firBt heat
today, the fifth will have to be run,
and the winner selected according to
the averages of the five performances.
Gloria O'Neil won both her heata in
2:12H- The third heat, which was won
by Paul W., weun run in a heavy shower
and the time was therefore somewhat
slower than the first two. The House
entry covered the distance, winning
easily in 2:28.
Pacers Rouse Excitement,
The 2:12 pace was a most exciting
race, and three heats were likewise fin
ished in this event before the heaviest
downpour of the afternoon put a
quietus on the harness events. Judge
Dlllard, a Spokane horse owned by
Frank Chllds, won the first heat In
2:14, but only secured fourth place in
the second heat, and was distanced and
thereby disqualified In the fourth. This
left Mortrlx, a California horse, and
Dan S., also of 'the Bear. State, and
Whitehall, a Montana horse, the only
competitors in the decidng heats today.
Mortrix looks to be the winner, for the
Azmoor horse captured the second and
third heats handily and was second in the
first heat. Whitehall may show class
enough to be a factor yet, but hia show
ing yesterday would not bring him many
stakes. This horse is too much inclined
to trot, and his trainer would probably
do better by changing him to the latter
class. Mortrlx won the last heat of this
event yesterday In 2:24, which slow time
was due to the shower which descended
Just as the race was started. ' H paced
the second heat in 2:14, while the first
heat was won by Judge Dlllard in 2:14
flat.
Yesterday at the track was Portland
Hunt Club day, and the members of this
select riding organization enjoyed a run
ning race for which a handsome silver
cup was offered by the association. In
this race William Walter, on Mike Wilson,
brought his mount fpom behind and beat
out a T. Chase on Lady Myrtle and
Eugene Oppenhelmer on Call Bond. The
distance was one-half mile and Lady Myr
tle and Call Bond furnished a preUy race
Into the etretch, but Walter, on Mike
Wisdom, gradually overhauled the lead
ers and before th wire 'was reached he
had secured a comfortable lead and won
practically Dulled up. Chase finished sec
ond and Oppenhelmer third. The time for
this race- was 0:64. '
Army Officers in Short Dash.
The fourth race on the programme was
a quarter-mile dash for polo ponies and
competed In by five United States Army
officers from Vancouver Barracks. This
event was for a silver cup donated by J.
B. Porter and was won by Lieutenant F.
M. Barrows, on "31." The other starters
were: Captain Leroy B. Lyon, on Polly;
Lieutenant B. S. Wheeler, on Nell; Lieu
tenant J. L. Devers, on Lacy, and Lieu
tenant H. D. K. Zimmerman, on Besa.
The time was 0:28.
A three-quarters-mile dash for runners,
with five entries, wound up the pro
gramme for the day, but this event waa
not as exciting as it might have been, for
the reason that the track was a sea of
mud. and for that reason the time was
necessarily slow.
The success of Starter Uberto H. Stridor
In sending his fields away was a source
of considerable satisfaction to all present.
The most remarkable thing about Starter
Strider Is his ability to handle the drivers
in each race. He experiences very few
trials In sending his field away and each
time he announces "Go" the horses are
aligned almost like, -a cavalry troop.
Strider has been remarkably successful
hre and at Salem and if he maintains
this standard all week, complaints from
drivers will be scarce.
Among the- prominent horsemen of the
harness world now attending the Portland
meet, isG. A. Keller, a steward of the
Great "Western Circuit, whose home Is in
Peoria. 111., and who is almost inclined
to become an Oregonian or a citizen of
the Pacific Northwest. Mr. Keller has a
son who claims Portland as his home.

CHICAGO, Sept. 20. Football Is due
in the West today, and college students
were out In force to see the doings on
the campus. Reports from all of the
conference colleges Indicate something
more than the average prospects. When
the "big eight" teams get together to
day, Chicago and Minnesota will take
their places of last Fall as the fore
most contenders for the Western title.
Wisconsin is distinctly with the lead
ers, and Illinois is another contender
this year. Indiana and Purdue both
seem due for a winning season, while
Northwestern Is likewise cheerful, and
Iowa seems to-be better than usual.
MIOGS TO GET HOME
M'CKEDIE'S COASTERS SHOWING
IN FINE FORM.
Team Expects to Have Easy Time
W ith Crippled Angels on Local
Diamond This Week.
BT WILL G. MAC RAE.
G LEND A LB, Or., Sept. 20. (Special.)
Both the Portland and Los Angeles base
ball teams were held up here this after
noon on account of a wreck which de-
played traffic for seven hours.
We art returning home with naving won
three games over the 500 mark. When
Manager Mc and his crew left home
-they were In third place. .Now they are
safely entrenched, in second place, w nne
on the road the team has won 19 and last
16 games and played three tie games.
The first of the extra-inning games lost
this season was captured by Oakland,
thanks to the help of Umpire Van Hal
tren. During the five weeks away from
home these Coast League umpires can
take credit upon themselves for taking
three games from us. McGreevy took one
during the opening series with the Seals
and Van Haltren gave Oakland a chance
to tie up one and deliberately handed the
Oaks another.
When McGreevy took that Seal game It
was pretty rank, but when Van Haltren
got busy last Friday, the crime of base
ball on the Coast was committed. The
decision of calling an Oakland player safe
at home, the tying run, after the runner
had run clear around Catcher Murray,
who was waiting at the plate, brought
the wrath of the fans down on the um
pire and caused McCredie to explode for
the first time on the trip. The runner
was clearly out for running out of line.
The newspaper men scoring the game
were frazzled when Van Haltren called
the runner safe. Had the tJecision been
rendered against the Seals. Danny Long
would have caused Van Haltren's sus
pension, but it was against Portland,, so
it clid not count.
Manager McCredie Is anxious to see
Haggln, the lefthander from Rainier, and
hopes that Judge McCredie has left him
home. Just now and during the last
three weeks Garrett, Harkness and Guyn
have been going fine. but until Bill
Chenault gets gack into form Manager
Mc will need another pitcher. McCredie
aUo hopes to have Buddy Ryan back Into
the game this week. The rest of the team
are right on "their collective toes.
As a sample of the way' the team has
been hitting. Just listen to this: Graney
and Johnson, in the last two weeks, have
slammed out 42 hits between them. Week
before, last Graney got 12 and Johnson
nine. Last week Johnson got 12 and
Graney nine. The rest of the boys are
also hitting the ball.
L Tozer one of the Los Angeles pitchers.
was suddenly cauea to aaai iaae on ac
count of the serious illness of 'a sl6ter.
This will cripple Captain Dillon's already
sadly" crippled crew. y
BEAVERS GET HOME TODAY
Will Open Week's With Los
Angeles Team.
With the returning of Walter Mc
Credie and his Beaver squad today,
after a five weeks' absence In the
California cities where the boys won
19 out of 35 games, the fans can ex
pect to see the great National game as
It should be played instead of the bush
league ball they have been witnessing
at the hands of the Northwestern
League teams. . The Beavers open up
today if the weather man permits
with Hen Berry's Los Angeles crew,
and It should be a battle royal from
start to finish, for the Southerners are
after the Beavers' pelts on account of
the way they were treated when here
last. - The Beavers took the entire
series from tltem and put them-'but of
the pennant race.
"Buddy" Ryan will get back In the
game today, and Manager Mac will
take a rest. The outfield will be well
looked after with such players as
Ryan, Graney and Speas on the Job.
The last two are hitting like wildfire,
and Ryan thinks that his long rest has
done his batting eye a lot of good.
The Infield has been working nicely.
The tall manager made a wise move
When he brought Cooney to his Coast
League squad, for the boy puts up a
great game around second base, and
seems to Inject a lot of ginger Into
the team. With the pitching staff
working right the Beavers should take
the series. The game starts at 3
o'clock.
