2000 SKATERS OUT X I ;:XixY
Opening of Ice Hippodrome
- Draws Great Crowd.
OLD SKATES SERVE AGAIN
Many Society People Occupy Boxes
and Spectators' Seats Are All
Filled Five Instructors
Assist Beginners.
The official opening last night of
Portland's new ice hippodrome, said to
be the largest artificial ice skating
rink in the world, brought out 2000
skaters.
Promptly at 8 o'clock several hun
dred pairs of skates glided out over
the glass-like surface of the rink to
the tune of "The Co-Ed." played . by
Fred Prasp's band. Two thousand pairs
of steel were clanking on the Ice a
short time later.
Old men, young men, women, ginls.
boys and mere tots were everywhere
in evidence, their faces beaming with
the look of a pleasure suppressed, but
not forgotten, and then renewed again.
Fond parents ' sat in the spectators'
seats and smiled happily as their
youngsters enjoyed the sport -on the
ice.
Old Skates Serve Again.
Rusty skates, rocker skates, hockey
skates, tubular skates, all bearing evi
dence of ancient manufacture, assisted
many around the big ice arena and
bore mute testimony of owners having
rummaged through old trunks for the
nearly forgotten steels.
The crowd was good-natured. At fre
quent intervals there sounded "plunk.
followed by a general laugh, and tbe
skater who fell enjoyed the "joke" as
well as the others. The ice, resembling
what is known in the Fast as "rubber
ice, was easy to fall on.
Box-seat patrons remarked on the
warmth in the arena. The rink does
not have the usual low temperature of
the natural ice rinks and ordinary
street clothing is all that Is required
for skating.
Organizers of the Portland Amateur
Hockey League congratulated them
selves In being able to obtain such
good field of ice. W. E. Kearns, of
the Multnomah Club, headed the hockey
aggregation around the rink.
J. George Keller, secretary and
treasurer; F. A. Wilson, manager, and
vv. E. Grace, president of the Hippo
drome, acted as a reception committee.
Five instructors, brought to Portland
from eastern rinks, were about the
arena assisting beginners.
The Ice Hippodrome cost $80,000 and
an additional $50,000 ' for ice-making
macmnery. -
2S0O Can Skate.
Fifteen miles of Hi -inch piping were
laia on the floor of the arena. The
building is of reinforced concrete and
is lighted by inverted trough lncan
descent lamps, which throw rays direc
on the ice. The seating capacity is
5000. The ice surface is 321 feet long
and 85 feet wide. Twenty-five hundred
skaters can be accommodated. The
hippodrome has been under course of
construction for 14 months.
In the main building, which Is 360
by 13o feet, are dressing rooms fo?
hockey players. They are arranged
under the spectators seats. The ac
commodation building is 360 by 40 feet
and houses a restaurant, cigar store,
soda fountain, ladies rooms, men'
restroom, skateroom and the offices
of the hippodrome.
The ice rink has direct service on th
Depot and Morrison, Lovejoy, North
and South Portland, Sixteentb-street
and Twenty-third-street cars.

Leasuea Likely to Concur at Omana
Gathering; In Declaration That It
Is tp to Outlaws.
OMAHA. Neb., Nov. 9. There was
every Indication tonight that the Na
tlonal Association of Professional
Baseball Clubs, in convention here,
would declare almost unanimously In
favor of remaining under the National
agreement, which means that they will
support organized baseball. One league,
the Central, composed of Ohio and In
diana clubs, has already pledged itself
to that policy.
Nearly 300 delegates to the conven
tlon, which will open tomorrow, are
now here. They spent the afternoon
and evening discussing baseball poli
tics, while the National board of arbi
tration was considering 268 complaints
and protests which had been presented
to it.
The Central League began Its annual
meeting today, and besides re-electing
President Louis Heilbroner, of Fort
Wayne, adopted a resolution pledging
the league s support to organized base
ball at all times.
The resolution also declared that
baseball peace, while not objectionable.
should come on terms dictated by the
leagues that are parties to the National
agreement.
There was no lack of expression by
other baseball officials which Indicated
a feeling similar to that expressed in
the resolutions adopted by the Central
League. President Norrls L. O'Neill, of
the Western League, was particularly
emphatic in his declaration that the

The Federals started something and
they will have to finish what they
have started. It is up to that league
to rectify its own mistakes and not
ask minor leagues to do It for them.
Other minor league offlals gave sim
ilar expressions and tonight it ap
peared that they would be supported

The board of arbitration found on its
hands a much greater task than It had
anticipated, 268 cases being presented
ior its consideration. The entire alter

tnese complaints and it was evident
that it would not conclude its sessions
until some time tomorrow.

Peace With Feds Discussed.
CHICAGO. Nov. 9 Efforts to brine
about peace between organized base-
bait and tbe Federal League were re
warded with progress here today, ac
cording to August Herrmann, chairman
or the National Commission, who held
an hour's conference with Charles
Weeghman. a high Federal League
omclal
A- second conference was held later
at which it was said terms for the pur
chase by Weeghman of a controlling
interest in the Chicago National League
club were discussed. It was admitted
that Weeghman holds an option on the
controlling interest in the club.
Herrmann said that some serious
problems, including that of taking care
of the ballplayers, must be solved be
fore peace could be reached.
Both Herrmann and Weeghman said
they acted in their conferences as indi
viduals, but that should their prelimi
nary negotiations be successful they
would ask authority from their respec
tive colleagues to draw up the actual
treaty of peace.
August Herrmann, chairman of the
National Commission; B. B. Johnson,
president of the American League, and
E. G. Barrows, president of the East
ern League, and Joseph Flanner, Herr
mann's secretary, left tonight for
Omaha, to be present at the annual
meeting of the National Association of
Professional Baseball Clubs.
Besides bis conference with Charles
Weeghman. president of the Chicago
Federals, Herrmann conferred with
Robertson and Ward, of th,e Buffalo and
Brooklyn Federal clubs. Herrmann ad
mitted that he had been empowered by
C. P. Taft to negotiate the sale of the
Chicago National club.

the ball is near the sidelines.
"A backward pass by the snapper-?
back that goes out of bounds on the
first, second or third downs before be
ing touched, belongs, to the team first
recovering it. On the fourth down the
ball goes to the opponents. So say the
rules.
"All a team has to do to keep the
ball on any down except the fourth is
to have the center paBs it out of bounds.
One of tbe backfield men can simply
step over the line and recover the ball
and the team can have first down.
Pretty "easy isn't it? If a team is down
near the goal line all it bas to do Is
to remain near the side of the field

Perhaps, and then again perhaps not.
