7 17 TRACK MEET TODAY Interscholastic Games to Be Held on Multnomah Field. JEFFERSON TEAM STRONG Columbia and Lincoln Picked as Chief Contenders, With Washing ton Dangerous and Frank lin in Dark Horse Role. "With the track on Multnomah Field In the best of condition and all the athletes eager for the fray, the annual Portland Interscholastic League traclc and field meet will be held this afternoon.- Referee T. Morris Dunne an nounced that the first event would be run promptly at 2 o'clock, and the 102 entries must be on hand on time. Speculation as to the probable win ner of the gathering was rife last night, and not for several years have the teams appeared so evenly balanced. Followers of the local . institutions are picking the champions from either Jefferson. High, Columbia University or Lincoln High, with Washington High 6chool a dangerous competitor. Franklin May Be Surprise. Franklin High School has an oppor tunity to spring the surprise of the year among the first three, for little consideration has been given the baby Institution of the circuit. This is the first time Franklin High School has ever had a team in the annual meet. Coach May, of the Jefferson High School, is doing everything possible to annex points here- and there, for he has practically clinched a majority of the points in the distance races. Cap tain Demmon will be entered in the mile and half, for he won both events at the Oregon state meet last month. Springer, Laman and. Hollinger are ex pected to place in the distance matches. Laman Bonney is going strong in the discus and high hurdles, and Willi ford is counted to repeat in the pole vault. He won thla event at Eugene during the annual affair under the auspices of the University of Oregon. Captain Lodell, of the baseball team, will take part in one or two of the weight contests. Columbia Is Contender. Coach Callicrate. of Columbia Uni versity, and Coach Fabre, of Lincoln High School, have been working tooth and nail to develop enough material to take, the 1915 classic to their re spective' school1. Bob Malarkey, of the collegians, who won the broad jump at the University of Oregon meet, may not bo able to contend, with the result . that Jefferson High School will be ben elited by the change. Early to bed and early to rise makes five points in the track meet tomorrow," was the last "shot" flred at each one of his athletes by Coach May, of Jefferson High School, last hight. A half-holiday has been declared, with each school being dismissed at 12:30 o'clock, today. From the way the various athletes have been going in practice several loral records may be equaled or bet tered. Washing-ton Hlirh School Wyld, Linker. Ross. Sprigg-s, Vis, Graves, Lee.

The first "Wednes day in June has been devoted for gen erations to London's great racing car nival, the Derby at Epsom, and its omission this year brought home to the citizens of the British capital with peculiar emphasis the serious crisis Ihrough which the nation is passing. Derby day always has been the most popular sporting event of the year. The race was witnessed by the late King Edward every year from 1863 until 1909, except when he was kept away by mourning. The decision of the government to abandon all race meetings during the war except that at Newmarket does not meet by any means with universal approval. Quite apart from persons interested in racing because it is their occupation or means of livelihood, large numbers are of the opinion that such a drastic closing down of race meet ings not only is needless, but inimical to horse breeding. They point to the fact that racing is going on as usual in Germany and contend that its pro- hibition in England probably will be regarded by her enemies as a signal of weakness and nervousness, making her a subject of ridicule. XI L WIS DEFEATS TRAVERS Veteran Golfer Plays One) of Best Gaines of His Brilliant Career. RYE, N. T., June 3. Walter J. Travis. Garden City, former winner of the international. National and metropoli tan champoinahips. played a splendid came today in the second round of match play for the Metropolitan AssO' riation's title on the Apawamis Club's links. His opponent was his ofttlme rival, Jerome D. Travers, of Upper Montclair, N. J-, often a frequent win ner of National and metropolitan golf honors, but the veteran won by one up, after giving one of the best exhibi tions of his golfing career. Invariably the older player was out driven from the tees, but his remark able work in greens gave him the vic tory. His putting was uncanny at times, and on several greens he needed only a single putt. A 10-foot curling putt on the fifth and another on the sixth green gave him the holes in two and three respectively, each being one stroke under par. He was then one up and never- relinquished the lead from start to finish. The gallery frequently applauded both for their brilliant and daring play. Each made the round in 76, Travis winning the match on the home green with a 12-foot putt for a half in lours. Sporting Brevities. The first consignment of baseball para phernalia to the French soldiers in the trenches will be ready to leave the United States some time this week. Ban Johnson has been instrumental In receiving donations from ail parts oi tne c;ast. Heine Pelt, veteran big league catcher and now an umpire in the Central League, ai been forced to retire because of Illness. An indefinite leave of absence was granted nlm by tne president ot tne circuit. The Irish Turf Club at a recent meeting decided that there would be no Interference with racins in Ireland this season. George Stalling bas been sick for several days. While he was out the Chicago Cubs laced the Boston Braves four straight games. After the fourth defeat he went on the Braves' bench, with the result that the losing streak was broken. - . Johnson and Pearson.- the two sensational interscholastic athletes of Spokane, are going back to the big Eastern interscholastic meet at Chicago. Pearson is of the North Central High School and Is some sprinter, while Johnson hails from the rival Institu tion. Lewis and Clark High, and his events are the broad Jump and hurdles. The school board of Spokane has granted the two boys a week's vacation to make the journey East. North Central won the recent dual meet against Lewis and Clark In which Johnson scored 23 points and Pearson 194. Johnson broke five records and Pearson trimmed four.

According to word from California, John J. Mc-Closkey's latest baseball league, the Rio Grande Association, has gone on the rocks. McCloskey organ ized the league at the beginning1 of th season with Beveral towns in Arizona in the circuit, and from all indications the league was going to make a go. "TSe" Clarke, former Seal, left re cently to join one of the clubs and wil be among those to be left out In the cold. "Nig" Perrine and George Duddy, last season with Seattle, were two well known Northwestern Leaguers who lost out. Manager Blankenship, of the Salt Lake Coast Leaguers, turned nearly all his surplus players over to the new organization. McArdle was another one to be left in the cold. McCloskey is well-known in the Northwest and was a factor in the organizing of the now defunct Union Association.

OBJECT TO HELP INDUSTRY Three Classifications Are Provided For and Business "Will Be Con ducted on Systematic Plan as In Other Markets. The Poultry Egg and Poultry Dealers' As sociation was organized at a meeting held at the Commercial Cluo at noon yesterday. The object of the association was announced to be the promotion of the egg and poultry trade, and Industry of the State of Oregon. The first act of the association, after or ganizing, was to adopt a set of rules govr ernlng the grading of eggs as purchased In the local market. Several meetings had been hell previously when this subject was. thor oughly discussed. At yesterday's meeting, a committee reported recommendations for the proper grading of eggs and the report was adopted. It provides for the following grades of eggs: , 'No. 1 eggs shall weigh not less than Co pounds In standard cases and shall be fresh, clean, full and sweet. No. 2 eggs shall consist ot slightly dirty and slightly shrunken. undersized and washed eggs and shall be reasonably fresh and sweet. 'No. 3 eggs can consist of stale, dirty, ex tremely small eggs, and eggs cracked, but not leaking. Duck eggs and pickled or treated eggs shall be classed as second or third grade, ac cording to quality. All rots, spot rots, leakers, sour and musty eggs shall be considered as dead loss. 'All eggs shall be packed In standard egg cases, new or good second-hand, that will stand shipping. Eggs packed in containers other than standard egg cases shall be subject to a deduction of li-cent per dozen." These ru'-. which provide for the buying ot eggs and eliminate the old method oi purchasing at one price, case count, will become effective in a few days, as soon as sMppers are infer ined of the change. Prices will be mala by Individuals and will, as heretofore, be governed by market conditions of supply and demand. The differentials between the grades will also bo governed by individual requirements. Th cf titers of the new association are: President, C. M. Dllley. of .Pag & Son; vice-president, Carl Schalllnger, of th Hazelwood Company; secretary-treasurer, & J. Dtxcn, of Armour Co. SAT NEW-CLIP PRICKS ARB TOO HIGH Eastern Wool Dealers Claim They Cannot Interest Spinners. Wool dealers in the East are again com plaining that farmers' asking prices in the West have gone to a point too high for them, notwithstanding the pace was set by the largest mill concern in the country. Tho New Tork Journal of Commerce says on the subject: "New-clip wools are being held at such high prices In most of the Western, South western and Northwestern states that com paratively few dealers have the temerity to operate In a large way. The recent pur chases of the leading piece-goods corporation, coupled with , the contracts closed by the dealers who have bought various clips, have in no small degree helped to stiffen the ideas of value held by the growers. Warehouse men and the officers of the Growers' Asso ciation are urging the farmers not to ac cept anything but top prices for their clips. The highest figures paid in various states and other data of a bullish nature are be ing bulletined In the banks, and this propa ganda has bad a marked Influence on the growers. Fine domestic wools are being quoted at prices that make fine Australian wools look cheap. Unless a marked change comes over the majority of buyers the great bulk of the clip will likely remain unsold for some time to come. Wool factors generally declare that it is impossible to Interest spinners In wool at the prices demanded In the West. It Is pointed out that the piece goods market, so far as worsted men's wear was concerned. was in a depressed condition, and that the prospect for an Improved demand was not bright. Under the circumstances, it was contended. It would be a hazardous business to pay the prices growers are demanding. Quotations vary considerably, but it is stat ed that the scoured prices on fleeces, terrl tory and Texas wools are soaring close to the highest on record." ONLY DEMAND 18 FOR BLCESTEM. Ten Thousand Bushels of Spot Wheat Sold on tcbasie. There was the same demand for blue- stem in the local market yesterday, but other kinds of wheat were neglected. Ten thousand bushels of bluestem were bought on the Exchange at $1.06 for prompt de livery. This price was a cent better than was bid on Wednesday, but for other mill ing sorts ' prices tended lower, ranging to 3 cents decline for July deRvery. Red July wheat, however, was firmer on offer with bids 5 cents higher than the day before. There was a lack of Interest in the coarse grains and bidding was on a lower leveL Argentine wheat shipments for the week are estimated at 3,200,000 bushels. Terminal receipts. In cars, are reported by the Merchants Exchange as follows: Wheat. Barley. Flour. Oats. Hay. Portland.

The butter market Is weak and aa sup- piles are beginning to accumulate, t i. likely that prices will be reduced in the near future. The recent advance was due to a strong and unusual outside demand but this demand ceased as soon as prices were raised, and since then the market has barely held Its own. Country cream eries are not disposed yet to make con cessions on cubes, and as there Is no satis factory shipping outlet, a surplus Is begin nlng to appear. Speculators declare that the current asking price Is too high for storage and they are not buying. The egg market was steady and un changed at the 19-cent basis. Poultry re ceipts were of fair size and the demand was moderate and prices unchanged. There was a little better Inquiry for veal, but no sales were reported above 9 cents. LOCAL RASPBERRIES ARE IN M ARK.ET Rett. Grade of Strawberries Expected To day Vegetables Plentiful. Local raspberries sold on the farmers market yesterday at $2.25 2.50 a crate. Strawberries were steady at $101.25 on the street. Better quality is expected in today' arrivals. Receipts of cherries were lighter and the market was steady. New potatoes were plentiful and were quoted weaker at 34 cents. Old potatoes were firm and good stock sold at 2 cents There was a large supply of California beans on the .market at 67 cents. Oregon peas were more abundant than earlier in th week and sold at 5T cents. Old onions were quoted firm at $1.50 for the best. New Wool Sale Dates. The new sales dates arranged by wool dealers and Eastern Oregon growers are as follows: Pilot Rock. June lO; Heppner. June 15: Hunts Ferry, June 16: Bend-Redmond, June 17; Condon, June 19; Shanlko, June 21; Baker. June 23; Enterprise. June 25. - No date has been set for another sale at Echo, where there is much unsold wool. However, the buyers say they can easily run down to Echo from Pendleton it a sale Is arranged.

June 3. In its consistent strength and Increasing breadth, today's stock market served as a striking reminder of the daily sessions which accompanied the memorable advance of last March and April. Trading did not attain the large proportions ot that period, but was of suf ficient extent to make the movement note worthy. United States Steel led the advance. dealings in that stock aggregating about 180. 000 shares, or 25 per cent of the whole. coppers were next In favor, with average gains of 2 to 3 points on a very large joint turnover. war specialties were compara tively inconspicuous, although advances tn that group were of a substantial character, the same being true of the automobile shares and other Issues having no special classification. General Motors made the greatest gain of any specialty, advancing 10H points.

Not until the close of the market was it learned that the Steel Corporation had won the suit brought against it by the Fed eral Government. The further rise tn the copper group was traceable to a number of specific causes, in cluding the greater demand for the metal at higher prices.

MOISTURE TOO GREAT EXCESSIVE RAINS IN SOUTHWEST BOOST WHEAT PRICE. Gradual Improvement In Cash De ad In Wcat and on Seaboard -Is Strena-tAenlna; Factor. CHICAGO, Juno 3. Too much rain south west and a gradual improvement in caan de mand, "both here and at the seaboard, tended today to lift the price of wheat. The market closed strong at 3c to ITic net advance. Com finished c off to ha up, oats at c decline to a rise of 9fcc, and provisions with gains of 7c to The dominant Influence in the rally was the fact that additional storms were threat ening Oklahoma, where already much of the growing crop was said to have become badly tangled and lodged. Hedging sales and the absence of any good-sized export or do mestic cash transactions put wheat bulls at a disadvantage until the last half hour of the session. Lower Liverpool cables, too, had a. depressing effect, but all such factors were lost sight of later in a seemlngJy com plete rout of the bears. Uneasiness in regard to Argentine offers at the seaboard was largely responsible for a break in the corn market. The late strength of wheat with some export buying here formed only an offset In part. Big sales at the seaboard strengthened the July delivery of oats. September easd off on account of crop advices of a decidedly bearish sort. Provisions reflected the steadiness of the hog market. Prices for the most part showed a little advance. Leading futures ranged aa follows: ' WHEAT. Open. High. Low. Close. July 11.16 fl19tt $1.1 $1-19 Sept. 1.13 1.15 1.13U 1.16 CORK.
