Outnumbered by ti8T odds, but not
outgamed, the army, under the com
mand of Captain William F. Daugherty,
defending the rifle butts, was forced to
surrender to the attacking troops under
the command of Major Loren G. Bow
man In the mimic cattle staged by the
Portland companies of the Oregon Na
tional Guard at the State Rifle Range
at Clackamas yesterday. After a skir
mish lasting well over an hour the de
fenders of the pits technically were
forced to seek refuge behind their
breastworks.
However, the mimic warfare in the
morning was but a small part of the
day's programme. A military field day
In which nearly all of the 200 guards
men present competed and the general
picnic and basket dinner were enjoyed
a3 much as the sham battle.
Over 600 people were on the range
during the day. visitors going over In
the morning on the trains and many
arriving In automobiles and vehicles
later. Many guardsmen and spectators
were kept away on account of the
threatening weather at train time.
Many tickets had been sold that were
not used.
Colonel Mart la Umpire.
Colonel C. H. Martin, in command of
the Third Infantry, was well pleased
with the maneuvers. He mapped out
the general plans of attack and defense
and acted as umplre-in-cnler. tie award
ed the decision after the sham battle
to the attacking forces, but did not at
tribute the defeat administered to the
defensive forces to neglect of opportu
nities in meeting the attack of the foe,
but to the lack of sufficient forces.
On the umpire board, besides Colonel
Martin, were Captains C. R. Hotchklss,
George H. Schumacher, George A.
White and H. U. White, umpire of ar
tillery. Captain Daugherty's force, consisting
of Company B and two pieces of field
artillery, under the commands of Lieu
tenants J. P. Krupke and George Otter
stedt. took up Its position behind the
rifle butts at the east end of the range.
Captain Daugherty was assisted In
handling his men by Lieutenants R. W.
Holman. H. C. Brambaugh and C. A.
Waddell. The enemy, consisting of five
companies of infantry and a battery or
artillery, under the command of Lieu
tenant Frank Randall, began its ad
vance from the crest of the hill. 1500
yards to the west of the army In the
target pits. Major Bowman was assist
ed In, directing the attack by Captain
F. S. Severs. In command of the ex
treme right wing: Captain L. J. A. Pe
ronl, in command of the right center;
Lieutenant W. M. Ackley. in command
of the left center, and Captain D. E.
Bowman, in command of the extreme
left wing.
Horaet Tags Combatant.
The attacking Infantry and artillery
advanced along the Clackamas. -road
preceded by a strong advance guard,
which discovered the outposts of the
defensive forces and drove them to
cover. Under cover of the field pieces,
which opened fire at 1500 yards the
infantry steadily advanced on the tar
get butts. Aa the infantry advanced
the artillery moved closer in and took
up a second position 700 yarda nearer
the Daugherty army. With steady fire
from the batteries the men under
Major Bowman reached the target
butts, behind which the enemy waa
hidden.
That no feature of warfare should
be neglected many of the soldiers were
tagged "lrtjured." The hospital corps
and ambulance followed close behind
the advancing army and cared for the
wounded. One soldier stirred up a yel
low jacket and promptly thought he
had received a real bullet wound when
'the insect stung him. The ambulance
corps was commanded by Captain
Novell A. Credlck and the medical corps
by Major M. B. Marcellua.
Wall Scaling- Close.
Of the field sports the wall scaling
contests and the obstacle races excited
most interest. Six teams entered the
wall scaling, and each waa compelled
to get its nine men and full equipment
over a 10-foot board wall. Company C
won. but was pressed close by the
battery team, which was only one sec
ond behind.
Corporal Klngsly, of Battery A, won
the final in the obstacle race after be
had gone over men, crawled under men,
run around men and worked his way
out from under a large sheet.
A section contest in which pontoons
of Battery A. halted from a trot, un
limbered, prepared for action and fired
three shots; an equipment race, in
which each contestant removed all his
clothing except his shirt, trousers and
socks, distributed them along the
course and' dressed and gathered his
full equipment and came to the posl
tlon'of order arms; a woman's race and
shelter-tent pitching contest were
other special features of the meet.
