Portland Coast League ball stars are to be immune from raiding by the St. Louis Federal Ieagur. Fielder Jones returned from the East yesterday morn ing. packed his belongings, saw a few newspapermen and friends, issued this guarantee to Portland fandom and de parted last night en route for St. Louis. "I am billed to take charge of the St Louis outlaws for the remainder of 1911. 1913 and 1916." said he. "I am to be there Friday, so will have to hustle some. I have promised not to stive out my salary conditions, but I expect to get enough to buy cigars and clothing and a hunk of -stock on the ide if I make good." Jones called a meeting of the North western League directors yesterday and It will be held this morning in Seattle. .irthnn( Election Today. Action then will be taken on his resignation as president and a new of ficial elected. According to Mr. Jones. Dugdale's candidate is Attorney 31c Ivor. of Seattle. Jones also announced that Umpire McGreevey had resigned and Ralph Frary had been renamed in his place. "You can say for me that my agree ment with the Federal League officials calls for a perpetual armistice between the outlaws and the Northwestern League clubs.' he added. "There will be no further raiding of the Northwestern League except pos sibly Seattle. Uugdale is no friend of mine and I don't intend to befriend him at any time. "So far as the Pacific Coast League is concerned I cannot hope to change the policy of the Federals, but person ally I do not intend to steal a single Portland player. "Portland is my home now and 1 wouldn't do anything to hart Port land's chances in the game. I will re turn here this Kali after my season. Mrs. Jones accompanies me Fast, but my young eon will remain in the city." Krderalx "Sure of HecoKnltlon." The former boss of the Chicago world's champion White Sox says it Is a cinch that the Federals will make good. He says President Gilmore proved It convincingly to him before he signed with St. Louis. "I am absolutely positive that the Federal League will be taken Into or ganized baseball as a third major league before another ten months." he exclaimed. "The National Commission will be forced to bow to them. The minor leagues are the basic foundations of all baseball and the minors are the ones that are suffering now. "Outside the Coast League every mi nor league in the country is disrupted. The Coast is reasonably safe because of its distance from the East." Jones does not know any of his new St. Louis hirelings, except Bobby Groom, former Portland twirler. and Miner Brown, deposed manager. Brown remains as a pitcher at his former sal-arv. W. W. McCredie left last night to at tend the Northwest League session in Seattle. AMERICAN LEAGUE. Washington 1-3, New York 0-4. NEW YORK, Aug. 17.

Clear skies and a fast track marked the opening of the third annual grand circuit meet ing of the Pittsburg Driving Club at Brunote .Island course today. About 1500 spectators wore present. The Du Quesne stake of $3000 was set down as the feature, but the best race of the day was in the last event, for pacers. Del Rey was the favorite and won the first heat handily. He led in the other three heats also until within a furlong from home, when he blew up on every occasion. McCloskey was picked to win the Du Quesne stake, but Margaret Druin won in straight heats. Grand Opera's victory in the opening event was a popular one. "Pop" Geers, driving Reu- sens, took the third race from Oakdale, top-heavy favorite.

When the Oaks open here this after noon against the Beavers the fans and players alike will find the batting leaders of the Pacific Coast League slumped last week, but when the aver ages had been cast up. Gus Fisher, Portland catcher, led Del Howard, the San Francisco manager, by one point Fisher .344: Howard .343. As might have been expected after winning seven games out of eight, Portland, which leads the league, also leads the club batting averages. Port land .278; Los Angeles .270. In club fielding, Venice was com fortably to the front with .968 and San Francisco second with .962. Hail Maggart, of Los Angeles, has made more runs this year than any other player. His total is 82, but Car lisle, of Venice, is pressing him hard with 81. Bayless, of Venice, and Lober, of Portland, are now tied with eight home runs each, but Bayless is easily the heaviest hitter of the league, for he shows in the column of triples with 17 three-baggers and Lober fails to ap pear. Wolter. of Los Angeles, has 12 triples and six home runs. The craftiest base-runner is Rodgers, of Portland. He has 60 stolen bases to his credit and it might be said that there is no second, for the next best man, Schaller, of San Francisco, can show only 37. senger on the Erin, the Shamrock's escort on the way across, tell of the difficulties encountered during the voy age. On July 30, when 24 hours out of Fayal, the boats ran Into a terrific storm in the early morning, during which the Shamrock's lights were ex tinguished. For two days the storm raged, to bp succeeded by a dead calm. On August 6, the log says, a wireless message was received ordering the Shamrock to the nearest friendly port, Bermuda. She reached Bermuda on Sunday evening, August 9, and found the islands under martial law. There the party learned for the first time that the German cruiser Dresden was not far away. FEDERAL LEAGUE.

RACES Preceding North Pacific Circuit "If Major Leagues Don't Want Me, Then No One Can Blame Me for Flirting," Says BUI. From this time on Pacific Coast and minor league managers in general will be on the anxious seat over their ball stars. Federal League scouts are fine toothing the country, and efforts un doubtedly will be made to grab every youngster whom the majors intend to purchase. Already the Federals have begun wooing the players on the Portland Coast League champions. Bill Rodgers, captain of the Beavers, and rated as the best second baseman the league, admitted yesterday that he had received a Federal League offer within a week. "I am considering it," said Bill. "If I am good enough to play in the major leagues I think I ought to be given a chance. If the majors don t want me and the .Federals do, nobody can blame me it 1 tllrt wun tne ea-erals. I have no exalted opinion of my own playing, but I nave nit .3UU nere for two or three years hand running and have fielded as well as any in- fielder, and I think I am entitled at least to a trial in the majors. 'And I know some other players in the league who hold to the same opinion. If Walter McCredie can make any money off my sale I will stick with him, of course, for he has been good and fair with me." lOO Trotting, Pacing and Running Horses lOO 4T r 17 1 r w Under American Trotting Association Rules OF lYlOre laCeS HaCll Uay with New and Novel Attractions Introduced 2:2 5 PACE $500 2:2 5 TROT $500 3-YEAR-OLD TROT OR PACE . . $300 FREE-FOR-ALL TROT ..... $500 2:12 PACE $500 FREE-FOR-ALL PACE $500 2:18 PACE $500 2:17 TROT . . . $500 Other Races and Attractions . . $1QQQ 4DayswTlAug. 19,20, 21,22 Over-Night Entries for Handicaps and Running Events Prasp's Peerless Orchestra and Brass Band Watch Daily Papers for New Attractions FIRST ANNUAL RACE MEETING UNDER AUSPICES ROSE CITY SPEEDWAY ASSN.

G TJNBOAT" SMITH hit upon a nice way of ending once and for all whatever there may have been in the way of acrimonious discussion with re gard to Eugene Corri's decision In his fight with Carpentier. In a letter to CorrI he writes from Hayling Island; "If ever I have the occasion to fight In England again, I shall be highly honored and pleased to have you act as third man in the ring. Yours In true sport, Edward Gunboat Smith." Tom Longboat, the famous long-distance Indian runner, wants to fight. Not versus any special "white hope." but for England in the great war. He has joined a Toronto company of the Thirty-sixth Regiment, and will be among the first to leave. While on the subject of fighting, Georges Carpentier has gone to listen to another reveille than that of sport, for, with a musket in his hand, he's already on the firing line against the hereditary foes of France. And what do you think of this? Lil' Artha. not to be outdone, has forgotten his benzine buggies and kerosene kon traptions, his High life and all his other troubles and announced his readi ness, nay, more, his willingness to fight 'neatli the Tricolor for the coun try of his adoption. Who said he had a streak of yellow? George Duncan, one of the very tip top English golf pros, turned down a beautiful offer from America in order to tutor a bunch of Teutons in the gentle pastime of cow-pasture pool. We can picture Anglo-Saxon George with one club in his hands surrounded by many Germans with many clubs on the links at Baden-Baden. That Ameri can offer must look good right now. Funny how one can't get away the war, even in sport, isn't it? from Australia has a new idea in her school system and a mighty good one at that. As part of the regular curri culum she has begun to introduce box ing. Twenty boys have been chosen from the Melbourne High School to be instructed properly by a firet-class "mitt" man and they in turn on com pletion of their full course, will act as instructors to other youngsters. R. L. "Snowy" Baker, the promoter, along with Sir Alexander Peacock, the min ister for education, was chiefly re sponsible for the innovation. Hats off to them. May the local School Board follow their lead. Who do you think is acting as a chauffeur these days? None but our old racing idol Georges Boillot, who hit the high spots at Indianapolis last May 30. Georges is driving General Joffre around the battlefield in his Peugeot at much the same speed he showed on the race track. We fear the gin'ral's chances of being shot are very, very small. FIRST CZAR POINTS WAY PRESENT WAR LAID TO AMBITIOS OF PETER THE GREAT. Dr. H Trinta to Mosrssohn, in Jewish Tribune, Will Calling lipon Kuss-a Follow Potter Adopted. The cause of the present European war traces back directly to the ambi tion of Peter the Great, of Russia, to subdue all Europe, in the opinion of the Rev Dr. N. Mosessohn, expressed in an article in the current issue of his paper, the Jewish Tribune. The policy of Russian aggrandize ment Dr Mosessohn contends, is out lined In 'the will of Peter, the first great Czar. A copy of the will was secured by the Chevalier D'Eon de Beaumont in 1756 or 1757, while on to St. Petersburg to sccuie mo tor a biography of Peter the which Voltaire had contracted for Catherine L according iu district adjoining, and that the cost should be met by a small state tax fall ing as equally upon all of us as does the present tax for educational pur poses.

Extracts from a log kept by a pas- FESTIVAL ELECTION TODAY All Organizations Asked to Vote on 30 Nominees Selected. Out of a list of 30 nominees selected by the nominating committee the Port land Rose Festival Association tonight will elect 12 directors for the coming year at a meeting to be held at 8 o'clock at the Commercial Club. The convention will be composed of delegates from every civic, commercial and fraternal organization in the city, all having been Invited to send repre sentatives. Promises coming In to Secretary Mosessohn Indicate that the representation will be large. The nominating committee has re ceived pledges from each of its 30 nominees that they will serve if elect ed. Members of the committee are: J. B. Werleln, W. J. Hofmann, Fred Spoerl; E. D. Tlmms and Frank Mc Crillls, with Dean Vincent and M. Mo sessohn acting as ex-officio. In Paris recently all the three sections of the courts of cassation, 50 Judges in all, convened together In order to decide a case brought before them In which the bone of contention was 25 cents. Dr. Mosessohn s article. While the authenticity of the will has been denied by the Russian gov ernment, Dr. Mosesshon contends that savants of other nations agreed that it was genuine. "The mere fact that a large number of the provisions of the will have been carried out proves Its genuineness without any doubt," writes Dr. Moses sohn, who asserts that the assassina tion of the Austrian Grand Duke was but one of the steps in the Russian policy. "Thus Europe can and must be sub dued," are the concluding words of the will, as printed in full in the Jew ish Tribune. Briefly they are:. "Keep Russia in continual warfare, so as to be always ready for war. In volve other European countries in war whenever possible. Take part in all European quarrels. Divide Poland, winning over its officials by bribery. Take as much as possible from Sweden and subdue her eventually. Choose German Princesses as" wives for Rus sian Princes, so as to create family alliances and, by propagating our prin ciples In Germany, enlist her in our cause. Effect a trade alliance with England in preference to any other, as we need her for her navy. Keep up a continual policy of aggrandize ment with the object of getting the Bosphorus and Persia, with a highway to India. Give Austria an interest in banishing the Turks from Europe, but defraud her of her share of the booty. Make friends of the Greeks." Thus with great particularity is outlined the programme which Dr. Mosessohn says has been carried out consistently by Russia, and which an attempt is even now being made to further. OREGON CITY, Or..
