Is Top Professional.
BT EARL R GOODWIH.
Scores of the opening day events of
the 31st annual Northwest shoot which
will be held on tne Portland Gun Club
grounds at Jenne Station today, tomor
row and. Wednesday, will exceed all
previous marks if the practice day re
sult is a criterion. More than 75 nlm-
rods from all parts of the Pacific Coast
and Northwest were on hand yester
day and of this number 32 of them
finished with the remarkable count of
80 per cent or better.
Frank Van Atta, of Portland, headed
the list of amateurs with a mark of
98 out of a possible 100 and L. H. Reld,
the famous Seattle professional, said
to be the greatest bluerock smasher In
the world, led the pros with the same
score as the Portland amateur. Never
before In the history of the Portland
Gun Club has so much interest been
manifested in a shoot as in the present
affair and with the weather conditions
for trapshooting almost perfect, good
scores were prevalent, in the practice
shoot yesterday.
Amateurs Score High.
Of the first 32 contestants who had
80 per cent or better, 24 were ama
teurs. A. C. Flicklnger, of Vallejo,
Cal., held second honors among the
amateurs just one point behind Van
Atta, along with Frank M. Troeh, of
Vancouver, Wash. J. F. Dodds, of San
Diego, Cal., shot 100 birds and made 90
per cent but he went out again and
dropped only three bluerocks in his
nest 100 shots. He made, an unfinished
run of 83 "dead" birS, giving him
credit for the longest "straight" of the
day's affairs.
In the doubles Frank Templeton, of
Portland, ran 20 straight and then lost
three out of his next four shots. Even
with this bad streak of luck he fin
ished first among the contestants with
21 out of 24 to his credit.
The first real event of the tourna
ment will be started promptly at 9
o'clock this morning and will last all

Final 'Matches la Intercity Tourney Re-

an System Used. -
Completely upsetting the "dope," the
members of the Spokane Country Club
played the Waverly Country Club golf
ers to a 10 to 10 standstill in the
foursomes and final matches of the In
tercity Tourney completed yesterday.
In Saturday's play the Portland rep
resentatives had little trouble in win
ning 43 to 11 from the Inland Em
pire contingent.
Two of the matches ended In a 0 to 0
score and each team managed to put
across a 4 to 0 defeat against their
opponent. The Nassau system of
scoring was used, that is, one point
was given to the winner of each nine
holes and one to the winner of the 18
hole match. In this way it was pos
sible for the score to be closer re
gardless of the number of strokes sep
arating the contestants.
Alex Winston and M. L. Bugbee, of
Spokane, won a hard-fought match
from Wirt Minor and A. T. Huggins,
the Waverly Country Club players.
The score was 2 to 1. W. G. Davidson
and G. T. Bridgeman, of the visitors,
trimmed W. Cook and D. Honeyman. of
the Portlanders, 4 to 0, while J. J.

Ty Cobb Great Factor In Pulling De
troit to Within Striking; Distance
of Chicago White Sox. -
NEW YORK, June 6. Tightening up
of the races in both the National and
American leagues was the feature of
the past week's play. Both the Chi
cago teams made a rather poor show
ing, the Nationals being threatened
for the leadership by -Philadelphia,
while Brooklyn was close behind.
The Chicago Americans were being
pressed by Detroit, while Boston was
playing consistent ball.
Not only was Ty Cobb leading the
American League in batting, stolen
bases and runs scored, but he was
again and again doing something to
pull out a victory for Detroit.
The New York Americans, after a
promising start, have won only two of
their last 13 games, while Washington,
St. Louis and Philadelphia are not
showing improvement, so that the race
in the American League at present
seems to be between Chicago and De
troit. - -
The National League race is grow
ing tighter every day, with New York,
though trailing, yet having a good
chance. The most notable progress of
the week was made by Brooklyn, which
team won five out of eight.
Boston failed to do anything to im
prove its standing during the week,
closing its at-home stay weakly, but
coming out a winner today in Cincin
nati after, opening the Western in
vasion with a defeat.
Philadelphia failed to take advan
tage of the Cubs' indifferent work,
which explains why the Quakers are
still in second place. St. Louis, Pitts
burg and Cincinnati are close together
with chances in their relative stand
ing possible In the play of a day or
two.
The Federal League race continues
close among six of the eight teams
with repeated shifts In the lead. Chi
cago has slumped rapidly while Kan
sas City, St. Louis and Pittsburg are
fighting in the top division.

last week, and of David Starr

WMk, Including Dr. W. T. Fos

The Crawfish iondly hoped
that the amount of pressure
that these various Influences
were bringing to bear, might
stem the tide and check Europe
in its mad career,, but our hopes
were vain.
tiince our last Issue another
Europesn power has hurled it
self into the fray, and the Aus-tro-German
alliance, already en
compassed with enemies, now
finds San Marino, with all of
Its 22 sp. mi arrayed against
it.
We understand from some of
the writings of Mr. George .
McCutcheon, who appeared to
be exceptionally familiar with
the geography around the Bal
kans, that there are several
other warlike powers around
there, which we have not yet
seen mentioned in the war dis
patches. But ever . since San Marino
leaped into the fray. The Craw
fish has been listening with
bated breath for information
that Graustark would begin
moolJizlng.
And we feel that in that case,
we may as well concede that
all is lost, and Begin to look
for- a grandstand seat from
which to observe the downfall
of modern civilization.

took .a. 4-3 drubbing: from the City
League leaders.
Rupert's crew outhit the Piedmont
nine by one binsle, but Grayson's boys
had the edge in the run column. The
Maroons played good ball, but on sev

the same might be In favor of the
West Siders. Emery Webb, on the
mound for Piedmont, won his own
game with two hits.
Rupert caused a stir in the sixth
canto when he disputed one of Umpire
Drennen'i decisions and was chased
from the playing field by the indicator

directed his team from beyond the
ropes.
At the Sellwood Park the Sellwood

THE BILLION DOLLAR
MYSTERY
The thrilling film drama,
"The Billion Dollar Mystery,"
which has s been enthralling
thousands with its unparalleled
exclusive run in all of the lead
ing theaters was finished two
weeks ago, although we were
not at that time aware of it.
Last week the final mile and

pected did not appear, and fran

finally brought forth the ex
planation. The following wire has Just
been received from them:
"Final episode hot stuff; so
hot that original film spon

and we are obliged to call the
drama ended. Would suggest
that you begin running a guess

We have decided, however,
not to follow the advice con

HIE SCHOOL HIT
MEADE POST WANTS PRINCIPAL
"PUT ON CARPET."
If Robert Goets Is Pound Unfit Veter
ans Aatc for Educator's Re
moval From Office.
OREGON CITT. Or., June 6. (Spe
cial.) Criticism of the Milwaukle
school is contained in a resolution
adopted by Meade Post, Grand Army of
the Republic, No, 2, at the meeting
Saturday.
Members of the post and of the relief
corps visited 13 Clackamas County
schools to hold the usual patriotic ex
ercises during the two weeks before
Memorial day. At every school, except
ing only Milwaukie, they say, they met
the enthusiastic support of principal
and teachers. Robert Goetz,. principal
of the Milwaukie school, is attacked in
the resolution. The argument of the
post is contained in the first two para
graphs of the resolution, which follows
In part:
"Whereas, since the last meeting of
the post, the post and relief corps have
visited 13 schools in Oregon City and
vicinity and everywhere met with a
spontaneous, royal and loyal reception,
with the single exception of the school
at Milwaukie, where there was an utter
lack of both civility and patriotism on
the part ot the superintendent. He
neither welcomed us nor bade us good
bye. He was conspicuous by his ab
sence during our entire visit at the
school. The high school was dismissed
Just previous to our arrival, thus add
ing insult not only to the Grand Army
of the Republic and the Relief Corps,
but to the flag of the country, which
the post carried at the head of the
pommand. Our annual visit to the
school Is for the purpose of instilling
patrloism into the minds of the rising
generation, and. we believe that our
services to the country in its hour of
greatest peril entitle us to courteous
treatment at the hands of those in au
thority." The veterans ask that the school of

Theatric Notes.
Milt Seaman told us on the Q.

Koad a play given by Josephine
Hammond at the Hellig last
wk.. but he thought they might
liven up the clioruses a hit
and stick in something patriotic
like ''I'm a Yankee Doodle
Dandy" or -I Didn't Ralsa My
Boy to Be a Soldier" and make
a still bigger hit. But Nick
Fierong says they don't dare
to liven up the chorus too much
in a morality, which is -what the
play at the Heilig was, and so
Milt's suggestion will paobably
not be followed in future pro

HEW HOISTS WORKED
Equipment of Dock No. 1 Is
Given First Severe Trial.
NEVADAN BEING UNLOADED
Municipal Plant Declared Excel
lent and Record in Time Is Ex
pected; Cargo for East to In
clude Canned Goods.
The four electric hoists with which
Municipal Dock No. 1 was equipped
some time ago are being given their
first good tryout in the work, now un
der way, of unloading the big steamer
Nevadan, of the American-Hawaiian
line. By using the four dock hoists,
in addition to the hoists" with which
the vessel is equipped, it Is believed
that a record for unloading miscellane
ous merchandise at this port will be
established.
The Nevadan arrived in port Satur
day night at 6:30 and the work of un
loading was begun yesterday morning.
It is expected from the manner In
which the work was progressing last
night, that It will be completed today
about noon or shortly after
The Nevadan is a steamer of 2824
tons register, and she carried about
2700 tons of merchandise from New
York City to this port. The majority
of the shipment, however, is light and
bulky and would amount to probably
six or seven thousand tons measure
ment In unloading the Nevadan one of the
dock hoists and one on the vessel is
being used at each of the four hatch
ways, thus making it possible to use
eight crews of men. There are about
15 men in each crew bo that more than
100 men are employed In the work.
, Dock Master Ransom expressed the
belief yesterday that a record for un
loading miscellaneous merchandise In
this port would be established by the
Nevadan.
Mr. Ransom expressed himself as
well pleased with the showing which
was being made by the dock equip
ment. Shippers are delighted also and
declare this places the dock on a par
with those of other large shipping
centers.
After the work of unloading is com
pleted the Nevadan will be shifted to
the Alters docks where she will take
on cargo for New York City. This
will include 1000 tons of canned goods.
The Nevadan is a sister ship to the
Nebraskan which was torpedoed in the
war zone. She Is one of the vessels
which is now making regular trips to
this port from New York for the
American Hawaiian Company.
Excursion Steamer Patronized.
Owing .to the warm weather yester
day there was reported to have been
more than the customary number of
excursionists who took advantage of a
trip on the river to get away from the
heat. The Bailey Gatzert took a good
crowd to The Dalles and other steam
ers also had good loads. Instead of
making an excursion trip, the steamer
Georgtana made its regular run. There
were also large numbers of launches,
rowboats and canoes on the river.
Mackinaw on AVay Here.
The American steamer Mackinaw,
which caught fire shortly after leaving
San Francisco for Portland more than
a week ago and was compelled to put
back into port for repairs, has again
started for this port, according to in
formation received at the Merchants
Exchange. The Mackinaw left San
Francisco at 6 o'clock Saturday .night.
She will load grain here from M. H.
Houser Company.
Much Freight Delays JJurline.
The steamer Lurline, which makes
regular runs from the ashington
street dock to Astoria, was delayed
in her trip up river yesterday morning
by a congestion of freight. She was
due to arrive at the dock' about 5
o'clock A. M. but failed to reacfh ths
landing until about 1:30 in the after
noon. MARINE INTELLIGENCE.
