other preliminary round. Although
several old favorites of the local tour
nament are still in the race and are to
be reckoned upon, H. C. Evans, of Van

posed of Robert Breeze, the Tacoma
veteran. In their match this afternoon
save him additional prestige.
Joe Tyler, of Spokane, a former
holder of the Thorne cup. was not put

MULVEY'S APPOINTMENT'
SULLIVAN IS CAUSE.
Pacific Association of American Ath
letic Union Threatens to Keep
Members Out of 1915 Gaines.
SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 7. The ap
pointment by James K. Sullivan, secretary-treasurer
of the Amateur Ath
letic Union and director-general ol
amateur athletics at the Panama-Pacific
International Exposition in 1915,
of "Tom" Mulvey to be assistant director-general,
has been followed by
such resentment here that the Pacific
Association of the Amateur Athletic
Union, in an open letter signed by
President John Klliott, refuses to allow
Ralph Rose, George Horine or any
other of Its members to compete in 1915
if the appointment stands. At a meet
ing the association's officers today se
cession of the Pacific Coast from the
parent body was urged.
"I have no- doubt," writes President
Elliott, "that Mr. Mulvey is a most es
timable gentlemen, but he has no
knowledge nor affiliations with ama
teur sport whatsover. The only claim.
it is - reported, to recognition that ne
has is hi3 connection with professional
puerilism.
"Under the existing conditions the
Pacific Association of the Amateur Ath
letic Union of the United States will
have to withdraw its activities toward
making the games of 1915 the success
that they should be. Final action will
be taken by the Pacific Association at
a special meeting to be held next Tues
day night."
At the offices of the exposition it
was si.Id that Aiuivey s appointment
had ben made by Mr. Sullivan person
ally, without the knowledge of the di
rectors, who knew nothing about it.
M: Sullivan was abroad. It was un
derstood, and immediate efforts to get
into touch with mm at liernn Dy came
would be made.
Mulvey is well known here as a fight
promoter. He Is a friend or cnarne
Harvey, secretary of the New York
State Boxing Commission, who Is a

of the Grand Circuit races. Five heats
were necessary to decide the winner of
the silver cup in the Burdick House
stake of $6000 for 2:12 pacers. This
event was raced, on the four-heat plan
and Leata J. and Prank Bogrash, Jr., af.
ter winningr two heats each, raced the

stretch was reached was there an In
dication of which might win, Leata J.
pressing under the wire only half a
length ahead. Stetbrlno Lad, the fa
vorite, never was better than second.
The second fastest time of the year
was made in the third heat, when
Leata J. stepped a mile in 2:03. This
heat was one of the best of the meet,
the entire field being bunched until
well into the home stretch.
The 2:22 trot was a walkaway for
Eleanor G. In all three heats she
raced ahead of the field and won as
bhe pleased, eased up. Breaks in the
second heat put Grace Flagler and
Major Russell behind the flag and in
the remaining heat Eleanor G. and
Dublin Lady were alone.
One of the finest contests of the year
developed in the 2:05 pace. Flower Di
rect and Junior Dan Patch raced neck

winning. In the second heat these
two were noses apart all down the
stretch, the mare getting the decision
by the closest of margins. In the
final heat the Patch horse fell back,

If Social Organization Is Forced to
Paj-, W. F. Woodward Declares
Churches Must Contribute.
"There Is no doubt that the Irvington
Club will take the Initiative in testing
In the courts the legality of Mr. Reed's
ruling assessing the clubs." said "Wil
liam F. Woodward,- president of the
Irvington Club, last night.
"We have a lot of bright lawyers be
longing to our organization and should
be able to put up a pretty good scrap,"
he continued.
"Furthermore, If Mr. Reed's ruling
Is to prevail, then churches will have
to stand for assessments on unoccupied
real estate and educational institutions
where fees are charged which leave a
margin of profit, or where there is no
free tuition, will have to come in, too.
I assure you that this thing is not going
to be one-sided. .
"I told Mr. Reed that the Irvington
Club is an educational institution in
the truest sense of the term. It Is not
a profit-making organization. We have
600 members and our income is suf
ficient with Just a little over to take
care of running expenses. It is not
enough to take up our street assess
ments for which we are bonded. to the
extent of $i3,000 pay taxes and main
tain the playground to which all chil
dren of the city are admitted free.
"We are paying a woman $50 to $75 a
month, depending on the season, to
superintend our playground. All this is
done -at the expense of our members.
We do not receive a cent from the state,
city or county. It is my idea that any
child who uses this playground is bene
fited morally as much as he would be
by going to church, yet churches are
exempt. It has been suggested that the
playground might be-eliminated if we
paid taxes on the rest, yet it is the club
proper which supports the playground.
"The Irvington Club is the pioneer
of the social center clubs of this city.
It is the demonstration of an idea
which should be encouraged, not dis
couraged. To destroy it would be a
great mistake. Taxation would stop the
formation of more such organizations,
a. thing to be deplored."
Mr. Woodward said that the trustees
of the club had authorized him to take
b Co.
up with the City Commissioners the
question of the city taking over and
operating - the club's playground.
Irvington and Holladay additions, have
not been given a park or playground,
but they have been established in all
other parts of the city, he said. If the
Irvington Club is to be taxed he be
lieves the city should maintain the
playground.
Mr. Woodward estimated the value of
the Irvington Club's holdings at J75.000,
which, on a basis of 60 per cent, would
make it assessable for $50,000.'
