Is Stellar Performer In $5000 2:08 Paces 2:30 Trot Takes Five Heats and Is Won by Starost. SALEM. Or., Sept 4. (Sptcial.) Barring two accidents that marred the races today an eventful three-year-old futurity pace, the Salem day mat inee at the State Fair races was filled with thrills, the 2:30 trot proving to be the feature race from the stand point of the grandstand. Maurice S., a bay gelding belonging to Dick Wilson & Co., of Pleasanton, Tal.. with Wilson up, took the $5000. i:0 pace In straight heats. McGuire made pretty "drives in two heats be hind Francis J., In an effort to pull Maurice S. away from the first money. ' but failed In each attempt and left it to Haltamont In the third heat to en deavor to drag the California horse away from the money. Haltamont gave Maurice S. a beautiful battle, but It proved unavailing. - Five Heats Jfecrimrj. Five heats were required before the 1:30 trot was decided and then no horse took the three heats. Lady Dil lon and Starost each took two heats, while Oakland Moore gathered in one. Both Starost and Oakland Moore were entered from the stables of M. C. Ounderson. of Portland. Under the conditions at this track the entries were allowed. By the division Lady Dillon was awarded second money. Throughout the race was gamely fought. Starost, after taking the first heat, dropped back to third In -each of the two succeeding heats and was being forgotten as a possible winner when he turned loose with terrific speed in the third heat and came in with the money. Lady Dillon and Starost, how ever, gave the best heat of the day in the fifth and final heat of this trot. It was a battle between them along both stretches and anybody's race to the wire. In the first heat of the 2:08 pace Alberta, a, speedy bay gelding from Cal gary, got the best of Hoag. his driver, and threw him from his sulky. Hoag was dragged some distance before he dropped the lines and Alberta circled the track twice at record speed be fore he could be captured with a blanket. This gruelling driverless pace for two miles prove to be Alberta's undoing, as he was drawn after the second heat. When Alberta got away from his driver he hurled his sulky into one of the wheels on Haltamont's sulky and stripped a tire. lafant Hurled to Track. Between heats in the third race little Robert Bishop, the infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Chauncy Bishop, of this city, had a narrow escape irom death. The boy s lather nanaea mm to Charles Yaanke. a mounted Marsnai, and asked that the Marshal carry him across the traek. The Marshal's horse objected to the double load and start ed to buck. Before the rider was thrown Yaanke threw the child onto the track and was then thrown him self. The infuriated horse stampeded on one of the boy's legs and narrowly missed his head. His father pulled him from the track before the horse could strike him again.

BOISE FINISHES SECOND Season of 1913 Will See Several Changes in Organization Mem bership to Be Increased to Six Teams. Sporting Sparks JOE MANDOT, the New Orleans French lad who walloped Joe Rivers In '20 rounds at Vernon Labor day, was 21 years old August 3, and stands 5 feet 6 inches tall. He is married. Mandot hptrnri his real fighting in 1908, and since then has had approximately 45 im portant engagements, losing decisions to Young Fitzgerald, Frankle Conley and Yankee Schwartz. The latter he has since defeated. He has beaten sucn men as Joe Coster, Jack Whfte, Tommy Kilbane. "Young Saylor and Charley White. To win a decision . against Rivers in Los Angeles Mandot must have entirely outclassed -the Mexican. Now for Mandot and Wolgast! A Pittsburg writer, mad enough to masticate .a spike, jumped all over Eddie Mensor the other day for alleged crazy base running. The following is sue he offered a numme apoiogy, ior Hans Wagner came forward and testi fied that he. if anybody, was to blame, because he motioned the Portland speed demon on from second base. The slip occurred in a Pittsburg-New York game. Snodgrass bluffed missing Don lin's pinch hit to left field, and Mensor ran all the way from first to third. He was caught standing up. Mensor was on first as a substitute runner. Evi dently his ankle is better, but for some reason or other he is adorning the bench. Henceforth-boxing fans will have to avail themselves of private channels of news It they wish the betting odds on fights throughout the land. S. B. Vin cent, popular guardian of the Portland Associated Press headquarters, has re ceived notification that no more fight odds will be carried over the associated wires. The Government law recently enacted against the interstate transpor tation of tight films goes into effect this month, but Bob McGuire, of the United States District Attorney's office, says he knows nothing of any legislation against Interstate shipment of wager "manna- although the complete text oi the bill has not yet been received. Jim Delehanty. the ex-Detroit Tiger for a time heralded as the prospective manager of the Sacramento "lemons. as our iriena uartoonisL waitter O'Loughlin calls them, has caught on with the Minneapolis club in the Amer ican Association. Cantillon's team is made up almost entirely of major league castoffs, but the Millers are again leading the race, so the ex-majors must be coming tnrougn. inis wui oe the Millers' third consecutive pennant. if they maintain their present clip. Becent tennis matches in New York have served to accentuate the unsteadi ness of the American play. Tennis play ers of this country. It is said, have a lot to learn despite the lessons taught by the Dohertys of England. The per sistent "getting back" of the ball by the great English players, waiting for a return to the right spot before the drive was out of reach, was always the feature of their play, and for a time. after their appearance on the courts of America. Yankee players tooK more pains with their work. Th rnt of- ooeratirg the "Chilean gov ernment railways for 1013 is estimated at i;.l''Ju,i50. BOISE. Idaho, Sept. 4. (Special.) With Walla Walla the pennant winner, Boise holding second, Pendleton third and La Grande fourth place, the West em Tri-State League closed a success ful season's schedule Oh Labor Day and has the best of prospects for an even better season in 1913. The Bears of Walla Walla had the bunting cinched a month before the season closed, for they secured a good start and none of the other three clubs were able to catch them. La Grande was In the well almost from the start and could not pull out. The real contest in the league was between Boise and Pendleton for sec ond place, the result of the last series, ending with two games on Labor Day, deciding the winner. Boise handed the Bucks of Pendleton a fast series and by winning five straight game; Eettled all disDute as to second place. The 191Sseason will probably see at least two. If not three, of the present clubs in the Western Tri-State League dropped, their places being taken by larger cities better able to support clubs. The tentative plans of the league magnates now contemplate the addition of Salt Lake' andvOgdcn on the south end of the league circuit, North Yakima and Walla Walla on the northern terminal, with Boise and either Pendleton or Twin Falls in the central portion. If this programme goes through. Salt Lake ana ugaen wui withdraw from the present protected territory of the Union League and that territory will be annexed to the West ern Tri-State. Walla Walla Assured Berth. The Tri-State territory already In eludes Walla Walla in the north end and the fact that the city has drawn so , well and indicated that it will strongly support organized baseball, will make Its berth certain. North Yakima is also considered a-strong city and If arrangements could have been made this season would have been included in the league. If North Yakima can prove that It will give local club strong support, the league magnates will recognize the claims of th fans of that city to a franchise. Tho Tri-State League had plans for six clubs when it- was organized last Spring, but the circuit had to be cut down to make a four-club organiza tion. It Is generally conceded by the league magnates that La Grande is too small to support a team in organized baseball and that city Is almost cer tain to be dropped. Pendleton, while larger. Is also placed In the same class, and it is, very doubtful If that city is given a franchise in 1913. The league, which - was a four-club affair last" season, will be composed of six clubs In 1913. The probable fran chise holders will be North Yakima, Walla Walla, Boise, Twin Falls, Ogden and Salt Lake. Twin Falls is given preference because it shortens the jump between Boise and Ogden. Tri-State Clubs Break Even. Boise withdrew from the Union As sociation last Spring on the grounds this city was not securing a square deal from President W. H. Lucas. Jack Cody held the Boise franchise until it was taken from him by the Union League magnates. Boise - fans had $10,000 invested in their ball parte at that time and resented the action of the Union directors with the result the Union League was forced to drop Boise from its protected territory and take In Ogden. Boise fans then proceeded to organize the Western Tri-State League, electing W. N. Sweet of this city president. While the league has not made 'money it has not lost any, and the future prospects are excellent. It is known to the league directors that Salt Lake and Ogden are dissat isfied with the Union League ball and both favor the Western TrUState, Ne gotiations will shortly be opened with those backers of the National pastime in both cities who want a change and the Union Association will, as a re sult, probably confine its territory strictly tovMontana, where four of its clubs are now located and Ogden and Salt Lake -will be annexed to the Tri-State. Golden-Garrett Fend Dropped. The feud that broke out in the West ern Tri-State between Jess uarreti. manager of tho Pendleton club, and Umpire Golden, has been dropped for the good of the league, Golden, wno had seen disqualified through charges preferred against him by Garrett. being reinstated. The episode prom ised to disrupt the league and virtually ruined the chances of Pendleton hold ing a franchise next season. Garrett filed charges against Umpire Golden, claiming he accepted money to throw a baseball game to Pendleton on August 3 during the Pendleton Waila Walla series. The affidavits of two of Garrett's players were filed in support of the charges. Phil Nadeau and Robinson were the players who claimed to know of the matter. Pend ing a hearing president sweet sus pended Golden. The deposed umpire filed a complaint immediately after wards with the District Attorney here, charging Garrett with subornation of perjury and Nadeau and Robinson with perjury. The three players were placed under $500 bonds. Wishing to bury the hatchet. Man ager Garrett and Umpire Golden de cided not to push their charges and President Sweet dismissed the Garrett complaint, reinstating Umpire Golden, who officiated during the latter part of the last series here. The complaint made by Golden before the District At torney here still stands, but will be dismissed. KILBAXE OUTPOINTS DCXDEE Featbenveiglit Champion Has Xo - Difficulty in Jabbing Opponent. NEW YORK. Sept. 4. Johnny ""Kil bane. of Cleveland, holder of the featherweight title, easily outpointed Johnny Dundee in a 10-round bout here tonight. Dundee rushed from the start, but was met unvaryingly with left jabs to the face that rendered his efforts futile. The coolness of the Cleveland boy disconcerted Dundee and he swung wildly at the elusive champion, who smilingly sidestepped. Kilbane varied his defensive tactics with occasional mixes in which show ers of short-arm blows bewildered Dundee. In a hot mixup In the seventh, Dundee landed a left hook to Kil bane's nose which started blood. Kilbane apparently did not extend himself, easily outpointing his oppon ent In overy round. Abe Attell challenged the winner. i -:-:vx-.-:v::-::-y.-i;-1 i ' T y V t c:v::-.vr::-:-:v.i: 8iii '.vX-.v.vv.'.-:-.vT.-.r,v..y.s-.-.-.-.'x. i i. ..,vv.--..: JfA XNaft-' 7ar 1 rl a 5."s -;-''- saiN .it Lkjt ran ; - f:&&Ki&m-m---i&s v.-:'lg ; ... i SSjggyij;.i i i , "jgf''imi iu i, ujwpmi'J .

Campaign to Obtain Meeting and That of Fisheries Society for Portland Begun. . i DENVER, 'Colo., Sept. 4. (Special.) The problem of saving from extinction the larger game animals in the West created wide interest Tuesday at the annual convention of the National Asso. elation of Game Wardens and Commis sioners held in this city. It is recog nized by wardens and commissioners from all -parts of the United States and Canada that with t-be rapid settling up of the country the improvement of firearms and the Increase of hunters it Is necessary to have game laws more uniform and stricter In the different states -'and to have seasons shorter and bag limits smaller, that more atten tion must be paid to protection of wild birds and animals and that refuges must be established where these crea tures are fully protected at all sea sons. William L. Fiiiley, state game warden for Oregon, gave a stereopti con lecture at today's session and made a strong plea for more careful pro tection of elk, antelope, mountain sheep and mule deer. He showed the results obtained by the Oregon Fish and Game Commission In transport ing a carload of elk last "Winter from Wyoming to Wallowa County. This experiment has attracted wide atten tion and has proved the advisability of establishing game refuges and starting small herds of big game an imals before they have reached the point of final disappearance. The results accomplished by the Or- egon commission in fish and game propagation and protection . wer strongly Indorsed by the National con vention. State Game Warden Flnley and C. K. Cranston, of Pendleton, will remain as delegates to the American Fisheries Society, which convenes in this city tomorrow and next day, and are campaigning to have these con ventions meet at Portland next year.
