FIRST SCRIMMAGE IS HELD Boys " Practicing Sard for First Game With Aggies This Month. De Witt, Jack Day and Os Day Add to Team's Power. BY EARL R. GOODWIN. Driven on with the spirit of college athletes, the Multnomah Amateur Ath letic Club football squad is fast taking on the appearances of a regular team. Manager Convill, assisted by an old schoolmate. E. L. Knickerbocker, of Sheridan. Or., who was a noted coach in the East and Middle West for sev eral years, ran the Winged "M" ath letes through a strenuous workout yesterday morning on Multnomah Field. The first scrimmage of the season was included in the programme and all got by unscathed. While the squad has been called out but three times a week. Manager Convill hopes to com bat with any of the colleges in the Northwest and give them all a run for their money. 25 Share Practice. With each additional practice, more moleskin artists are turning out for the Multnomah team. Yesterday morn ing there were 25 athletes who donned their togs and went out for more than two hours. More 'life" and "pep" was exhibited by the players than ever be fore by aspirants for a Multnomah Club football team. There is a reason for it. Manager Convill at the first of the season an nounced that all the old-time veterans would not be eligible to compete again and that the 1916 team would be made up of nothing but youngsters. It was not taken as seriously as it should, for it was expected that after the cam paign opened the "old guard" would be on deck to take the places earned by some of the recruits who had come out for practice each time. Team to Be Light. Sich is not the case, however, and Manager Convill now is beginning to reap a harvest of new blood. For the first time in years the college repre sentatives will meet the wearers of the Cardinal and White on an even footing. Jn some instances it is ex pected that the Portlanders will be outweighed. Manager Convill has Inspired a fight ing spirit in the boys and yesterday he announced that he would take the whole squad to Corvallis, Or., when Multnomah plays the Oregon Agricul tural College eleven a week from Sat urday. Plans have been made to char ter a special car. The Multnomah schedule this Fall will be such as to create more interest in football circles in Portland than ever before. After the Oregon Aggie game, September 30, the locals will play the University of Oregon at Eugene on the following Saturday. On October 28, : William Diets and his champions, Washington State College, will be the guests of the Winged "M" contingent on Multnomah Field. Post-Season Game Seems Sure. November 18 will have Coach Vincent Eorleske and Whitman College on Multnomah Field and the Saturday be fore the Thanksgiving game against the University of Oregon here, will be turned over to Willamette University of Salem in Portland. A post-season game with the Olympic Club, of San. Francisco, is almost a sure thing, from the way things look now and added to this are two more college contests for the Multnomah athletes. On the result of the showing made by the locals in their first two or three games depends the rest of the schedule and for this reason Manager Convill does not want to "spill the beans" just now. While he has a likely looking bunch out each time. Manager Convill says that he could use several more candi dates for some of the positions to help out. There are three or four former Interscholastic stars who are not play ing so far, who are being lined up, among them Stanley Howard, the Lin coln High center on the famous team of 1913. Wallace De Witt Turns Out. Wallace De Witt brightened the countenance of Captain Ben Streibig yesterday when he showed up for prac tice. De Witt is a trifle overweight, but from now on he is going to get down to serious work and tip the beam around 180 pounds in the pink of con dition. Yesterday was De Witt's first time out this Fall. , Jack Day and Os Day were out learn ing the signals. Both are backfield men, but it may be that Os will be sent to one of the guard positions and "Pep" Yost switched to left tackle, should Ed Leader fail to come out in time for the first game against the Aggies. Ed Leader and Phil Patterson were the only two being counted on who were not out yesterday. Patterson was out of the city on a business trip, but he will be on hand tomorrow night under the are lights between 7:45 and 9 o'clock. - Many College Teams Appear. After the Tuesday night session one has been called for Thursday night at the same time, and another gather ing will be staged on Multnomah Field Sunday morning soon after 10-30 o clock.

IfUS IS SLIPPING LAST SrRVIVOR OF GREAT MACK INFIELD FAILS TO HIT. Athletics First Baseman, Who Will . Be 28 Tomorrow, Falls Below .300 Mark for First Time. ' John Mclnnls, the last Athletic sur vivor of Connie Mack's $1,000,000 infield, will be 26 tomorrow. He was born September 19, 1890, in Gloucester. Mass. "Stuffy" seems to have deteri orated along with the cIud, as his bat ting thisyear has been far under the mark set In former seasons. For that matter, all of the members of the former trillion-dollar infield have slumped In their stick work this year, Collins, Barry and Baker no less than Stuffy. It begins to look as if wise old Connie was crazy like a fox when he disrupted his quadrillion-dollar in field while the disrupting was good. Mclnnis has been playing profes sional ball since 1908, when he was with the New Bedford and Haverhill clubs in the New England League. Stuffy got his chance in that circuit on the strength of his diamond doings at Gloucester High School. He played a neat game at short and batted .301, and was soon the sensation of the league. Several big league managers had come to the conclusion that Stuffy would bear watching, but while they were watching Connie Mack got the name of Mclnnis on a contract. Stuffy was used largely as a bench warmer in 1909, but the following yjear he got into 38 games as a shortstop and batted more than .300. The next year he suc ceeded the Veteran Harry Davis at first. Stuffy is a capable all-around infielder, and while first-basing has been his specialty he can do almost as well at short, second or third. Up to this year he has been batting over the .300 mark ever since he became an Athletic regular. Mclnnis is the baby of the quartet which once comprised the septillion dollar infield of the Athletics. Barry and Collins will soon pass the 30 mark, and Baker Is in his 31st year. Stuffy ought to have a lot of good baseball left in his compact person, and doubt less he has. KATOERA WTINS . YACHT RACE Tod's Entry Breaks Record Over 2 64-Mile Coarse, Leading Easily.'

Wash., Sept 17. (Special.) Salmon and salmon trout of large sizes are being caught In the Lewis River, three miles north of here, by local anglers. Nearly each day fish ing parties seek this favorite stream and return with long strings of big fish. Croppies also are biting good and many big catches of these are being made. Byron Fry, a local nimrod. hooked a salmon one day this week that tipped the scales at 27 pounds. Another angler landed one which weighed nearly 40 pounds. Lefts end Rights TOUGHY WING, the little Albina battler, has been coming along with rapid strides of late. Not more than a year ago Wing could hardly get a preliminary match In Portland. On September 26 he will clash with Danny Edwards, - the Oakland flash, in one of the two main events of a smoker to be given by the Golden West Athletic League in the Rose City Athletic Club gymnasium. Wing started things when he fought a close draw with Abe Gor don a few months ago. The bout was so good that they were rematched, and this time it resulted in another draw. The fistic fans demanded another go. fand this time Wing, who had taken on weight, won from Gordon. Wing out weighed him by more than 10 pounds. Toughy's next battle was with Sammy Gordon and resulted in a draw. Wing not boxing up to his former standard. Only a few weeks ago Gordon and Wing met in still another tilt. Gordon entered the ring at 103 pounds, while Wing scaled around 115. Wing regis tered his second win over the little Hebrew. Last Friday night Toughy met Eddie Gorman, and after six rounds of fast milling received the decision over the Oakland lad. The question now 4s, Can he get away with Ed wards? Tad Derbyshire is going to try and stage a comeback in the near future and is working out at the Rose City Athletic Club. At one time Tad was the best light-heavyweight in the city.
