RIDDLE, Or.. Aug. 13. (Special.)
As the open deer season approaches

a paradise for hunters, and this year
promises as much game as ever. Oren
Thompson, the county game warden,
says the hills are full of deer, but the
long dry season will make It unusually
hard for the hunter.

BOUTS ARE CANCELED
MITCHIE UXABLE TO GET IX SHAPE
FOR WAGNER.
Barrlesn Waits to Get Portland En
gagement With Faster Contender
In Northwest Field.
The boxing show slated for August
15 at Vancouver has had to be called
off, as Pete Mitchie has been unable
to get in shape for the proposed bout
with Jack Wagner. It is likely that
the new date will be Friday night,
August 24, at the Post gymnasium.
Wagner has been training faithfully
and the postponement was a great dis
appointment to him, as he is sure that
he can beat the fast-coming Mitchie
in a ten-round bout. When they do
meet, the fight fans should see one of
the best bouts ever witnessed here.
George Brandon, who was to meet
Billy Mascott, will lay off training for
a few days for fear of getting stale.
If he beats Mascott he will claim the
bantamweight championship of the Pa
cific Coast.
Valley Trambltas, who will clash
with Soldier Arnold in the six-round
double main event, is confident that he
can stop Arnold and will then be ready
to tackle the best of them for the local
boxing fans. He would like to meet
Jack Downey, Frank Barrieau, middle
weight champion of the Pacific Coast,
or any other good middleweight for any
number of rounds.
Johnny Boscovitch is scheduled to
meet Charley Rooney in six three-minute
rounds.
Fred Wlnsor, manager of Frank Bar
rieau, would like to bring Barrieau
to Portland or Vancouver to box the
best boy at his weight in this part of
the country. The Portland boxing fans
will remember Barrieau as the boy who
gave Billy Wright, of Seattle, such a
lacing at the Ice Hippodrome last year.
Frank has been meeting the best at
his weight all over the country and
for the past six months has been box
ing in California. He won the middle
weight championship from Battling Or
tega several months ago and has suc
cessfully defended his title against all
comers, meeting ten of the best boxers
in California in ten successive weeks
Battling Ortega. Billy Murray, Dick
King. Mexican Kid Carter, Red Watson,
Frankie Jones, Jack Downey, Pat Brad
ley, Len Rowlands. He will meet Willie
Ritchie on August 22 at Emeryville,
CaL
Ray "Wop" Dorey. local feather
weight boxer, who has been fighting
around Kansas City for the past year,
is out with a challenge to any boy in
the Northwest nt 122 nnnna TlnfAv to
scheduled to meet Ritchie Siebert, of
.ruicine, wis., ai Wallace, laano, on
Labor day. If he defeates Siebert he
will be matched to box Benny Chavez.
Micky McMinn, who boxed Jack Allen
twice here, is now in San Francisco
and has been meeting with fair success.
The other night he did not box up to
his standard and lost a decision to Herb
Brodle. A San Francisco paper in re-.
OAKS.
ferrlng to the bout says: "McMinn
seemed content to make a wild rush
once in a while, but that ended the of
fensive. The only time he led was when
he led himself out of the ring."
Sammy Morris, another San Francisco
boxer who is known here, lost to Eddie
James on the same card. The referee's
decision was hooted .by the fans, who
thought that Sammy deserved nothing
worse than a draw.
SAILORS NOW BURKE'S PUPILS
Former School Instructor Here
Misses Kids From Swimming Class.
James R. Burke, better known as
"Jimmie," former instructor of the
swimming classes in the public schools
of Portland, is now swimming instruc
tor at Bremerton Navy-yard. In writ
ing to a friend in Portland "Jimmie"
says:
"I miss the kiddies I used to have
in the schools and parks. It seems so
strange to have all men and no boys
in my classes. They all seem willing
to learn, and that is the main object."
Burke holds his swimming classes
in salt water, and Bays it can't com
pare with the old Willamette.
What Ex-Coasters Did in the

"Pep" Toung, former Sacramento
star, tripled and singled for Detroit.
"Tub" Spencer, ex-Vernon Tiger,
singled for Detroit.
Bobby Jones, ex-Seal, scored as a
pinch-runner for Detroit.
Harry Hooper doubled for the Red
Sox.
"Duffy" Lewis singled and scored for
Boston.
"Ping" Bodie, ex-Seal, doubled and
singled for the Athletics.
Ray Bates, ex-Beaver, went hitless
for Connie Mack.
Ivan Olson, ex-Beaver, got one hit in
two games for Brooklyn.
Jimmy Johnstone, ex-Oak, made four
hits and four runs for Brooklyn.
Cutshaw, ex-Oak, was out of the
Dodgers' lineup.
Wilhoit failed as pinch-hitter for the
Giants.
Dave Bancroft, ex-Beaver, singled for
the Phillies.
"Gavvy" Cravath, ex-Angel, got a hit
for the Phillies.
Roger Peckinpaugh, ex-Beaver, was
blanked for the Yankees.
Roily Zeider, ex-Seal, got two hits
for the Cubs.
Harry Wolter, ex-Angel, was out of
the Cub lineup.
Lefts and Rights.
FRANK MORAN is hard at work
training at White Sulphur Springs
in an endeavor to get in good ehape
for another whirl at Carl Morris and
Fred Fulton.
Fritz Holland, who has not been do
ing much boxing the past year, writes
from Australia that he is preparing
himself for a real comeback. He says
that the pickings are good for a boxer
at his weight in the Antipodes at the
present time, and that he expects to
start in all over again and try to win
the title left by Les Darcy.
Jack Dillon has cancelled his en
gagement with Bob Devere, scheduled
at Kansas City on August 20. In spite
of the reports that have been going
the rounds that Dillon has enlisted in
the Navy and would fight for Uncle
Sam in the future, the truth is that
Jack will be seen in the roped arena
just as long as he is not drafted. Dillon
is married, has a stepchild, a depend
ent mother and a defective brother to
support.
Mike O'Dowd, the St. Paul welter
weight, made short work of Tommy
Madden, of Brooklyn, the other night
in New Tork. O'Dowd waded into
Madden from the start of the first
round and put the Brooklyn battler out
in the third. O Dowd has been com
ing along with leaps and bounds of late
and is to be reckoned with when it
comes to the welterweight and middle
weight championships.
Eddie Campi is up in the mountains
with Willis Ritchie on a vacation. It
has been reported that Eddie has Just
purchased a benzine buggy of the vin
tage of 1917.
Pittsburg promoters have telegraphed
Eddie Kane, manager of Mike Gibbons,
an offer for a match with Harry Greb,
to be held in the Smoky City some time
next month. Indications are that Mike
will accept the bout.
Frank Barrieau, middleweight cham
pion of the Pacific Coast, passed his
physical examination before the ex
emption board in San Francisco the
other day. Barrieau is married.
-Willie
Hoppe, the California welter
weight, will clash with Joe Rivers at
Emeryville, Cal., tomorrow night, in a
four-round bout.
Gus Christie, the Milwaukee middle
weight, won in an easy fashion over
Jack Clifford, of New York, in Brook
lyn recently. Christie is a former
sparring partner of Jack Dillon's and
is showing signs of developing into a
better man than Jack.
OAKS AND BEAVERS
OPEN SERIES TODAY
Portland Needs Every Game of
Seven to Get Out of
Fifth Place.
WILLIAMS BATTING HERO
"Ken" Responsible, Personally, for
Only Two Contests Mackmen
Were Able to Grab From
Salt Lake Bees.
hen Oakland took six out of seven
from tne Angels and the Bees trimmed
Portland five games to two, the Bea
vers were settled firmly in fifth place.
Salt Lake moved into second place,
thanks to the ability of her sluggers,
and the help of Oakland.
Rodgers got back into the game on
Wednesday and played well during the
remaining six games. Ken Williams
got his home-run eye polished up and
added three to his collection. Griggs
also went off on a batting rampage,
but otherwise nothing unusual hap
pened. The two games Portland won were
due solely to the hitting ability of
Kenneth Williams. "Ken" won Satur
day's game with four hits out of five
trips, driving in all of Portland's runs.
Friday's game was won by the Beavers
because the aforementioned "Ken" got
two homers, a single, a sacrifice hit and
a walk.
Griggs had a good week, poling out
12 hits in 28 trips' to the plate, and
Hollocher got one or more hits in every
game, finishing with 13 out of 33 trips
to the rubber.
The averages for the Beavers for the
past week:
P.. H. Ave.
Williams 27 12 .444
Griggs 28 12 .420
Hollocher 33 13 .3H4

James 1 0 .000
Flncher 5 0 .000
Oakland and Bill Leard will make
their appearance here this afternoon,
meeting the Beavers in a seven-game
series. Bill Leard went to Brooklyn
and was released, catching on with
the Oaks, his former teammates. Bill
will probably etick with the Oaks in
the capacity of a utility man.
With the addition of Bill, the Oaks
look like a Northwestern League team,
with Bill Stumpf, Gardner, Murphy and
Mensor.
The Beavers are seven games behind
Oakland and they would have to win
every game of the series to get back
Into fourth place. They have come to
life in hitting and if the pitchers can
hold up the fight for the head of the
second vision may become interesting.
Fournler, the slugging flrst-sacker of
the Angels, is having a batting slump
and attributes it to the fact that some
body stole his favorite stick while he
was north. Maybe "Ken" Williams was
using said stick during the series with
the Bees.
Joe Schultz. ex-Angel, then with the
Brooklyn Dodgers and lately with To
ronto, has given up baseball. Uncle
Sam grabbed Joe in the draft and he
has gone. Brooklyn wanted to keep
Schultz. but didn't like to pay hard
cash for him and then lose him in the
draft.
"Buck" Weaver, former Seal, is out
of the game with a broken finger, and
the White Sox' pennant chances are
hard hit. McMullen is holding down
third in the meantime, but Buck will
be missed, for he has been going great
all year.

ing a handicap affair against woman's

There will not be a tournament for
the women tomorrow, as most of the
golfers are out of the city, many at

Mrs. James Nicol won the fourth, leg

NORMAN ROSS IX - LIMELIGHT
Amateur Athletes Question Standing
of Prominent Swimmer.
Rumors are rampant in amateur ath
letic circles that a protest will be made
concerning the amateur standing of
Norman Ross, now the most prominent
figure in National swimming circles.
Claims are being made that Ross is
using his athletic ability as the means
of securing a livelihood. It is true that
the officials of the P. A. A. have
frowned upon certain actions of Ross
since his return early in the year from
the various National championships in
the East, but no evidence has been pre
sented proving that he had violated
any rules of the Amateur Athletic
Union. Various promoters have made
certain claims, yet none have pro
duced any evidence. The matter was
discussed at the last meeting of the
P. A. A. and Ross was both severely
criticised and equally defended.
At the last annual meeting of the A.
A U. held in November, 1916, a law was
passed permitting men employed as
life guards at bathing resorts to par
ticipate in amateur events. The A. A.
U. has met much criticism ever since.
The P. A A. decided at its July meet
ing to demand the repeal of this law
at the next A. A. U. meeting, which will
be held in St. Louis in November, and
has so instructed its delegates. The
claim has been made that this law was
passed to allow the bars down for cer
tain swimmers in Southern California,
Hawaii and along the Atlantic Coast,
where there are numerous bathing re
sorts. Seward Simons, formerly of the
Southern Pacific Association, who has
been its delegate for a couple of years
back, was chairman of the legislation
committee and it has been alleged that
he is the man who was responsible for
its passage. There is no doubt but that
this rule will be a great bone of con
tention at the next annual meeting.
There is no rule in the A. A. U. by
which an athlete can disqualify him
self by writing for a newspaper, which
Is also one of the charges made against
Ross' amateur standing.
REGATTA PLANS MADE
GOVERNORS, MAYORS AND EDITORS
ARE INVITED,
Races, Boat Trip to Seaside, Dances,
Cabarets and Band Music Will Fea
ture Annual Carnival.
Programme arrangements for As
toria's 22d annual Regatta are rapidly
nearing completion. August 31 has
been set aside as "carnival day"; Sep
tember 1 will be "Elks' day"; Septem
ber 2 will be "Mayors' day." and Sep
tember 3 will be "Shipbuilders' day."
On Sunday. September 2, the Regatta
committee will take the visiting Mayors
on a trip to Seaside for a glimpse of
the ocean. Invitations have already
been sent to the Governors of Oregon,
Washington and Idaho, and to all the
Mayors of all the cities of the same
states. The committee also propose
to invite newspaper editors and state
and county officials, to the end that
the Regatta may have an economic
significance, in addition to the usual
pleasure and carnival entertainments.
The programme so far is composed
of motor, fish and sailboat races, yacht
races, motorcycle races, marathon
races, footraces, log-rolling contests,
sawing contests, tug-o-war and bal
loon and airplane ascensions.
There also will be a baby show, a
dog show, a number of carnival attrac
tions and cabaret shows, together with
jitney and country dances, brass bands
and orchestras.
Bits of Schrapnell.
M1NEY won his bonus when the Reds
beat St. Louis Sunday. If the
Beavers offered a bonus to the pitcher
who won the most games. Ken Will
iams would capture it, and he isn't a
twirler, either.
Eddie Collins is having a slump. He
hasn't made a clean safe hit in the last
20 trips to the plate.
Mark Anthony's speech had nothing
on the remarks addressed to Umpire
Held by Dennie Wilie Sunday. These
two get along like a couple of strange
bulldogs.
Society Note St. Louis fans gave
Umpire Byron " a pop-bottle shower.
There was a large attendance.
Brooklyn is one team that hasn't
heard the news about -Matty and his
winning tossers.s. The Dodgers keep on
beating the Reds just as if they were
the old 1916 rnpdejls with a new ton-
neau. ' .
The New Tork Giants not only seem
to have the pennant sewn up, but every
day they put a lot of fancy stitching
on the job.
George Sisler refuses to cover part
of the Browns' field. About two feet
of the-old bench is forbidden territory

him Sisler has played first, second,
third, short, pitcher, catcher and out

Well, when Sisler steals second they
think the speed king is driving.

OPEN SEASON FOR
DEER IS ALLOWED
Governor Denies Request of
State Forester, but Is
sues Warning.
FIRE DANGER I S ISSUE
If Sportsmen Do Not Exercise Care
Hunting Will Be Stopped, De-
Clares Executive; Tomor
row Is First Day.
SALEM. Or.. Aug. 13. (Special.)
Governor Withycombe today refused
to close the deer season xipon the rec
ommendation of State Forester Elliott.
The season will open Wednesday and
will go on as usual, but how long it
will continue will depend entirely upon
the sportsmen themselves, the execu
tive declared.
"I have conferred with the State
Game Warden, State Forester and
others well qualified to speak on the
subject, and I find a wide divergence
of opinion as to whether or not the
opening of the season will be a menace
to the forests.
Request Made Too Late.
"I am of the opinion that the request
came too late to decide upon a closed
season at this time. Hunting parties
have made their preparations for the
season and it would work a hardship
upon a great number of people to de
clare the season closed at this time.
"But instructions have been given
to keep a close watch of conditions, and
I wish to make a personal appeal to
sportsmen to use every care possible
to avoid fires. If this care is not ex
ercised and fires are started because
of the hunting season, I wish to issue
the warning now that the season will
be closed immediately and the hunters
compelled to leave the woods.
State Forester Answered.
"As a general rule, I believe that
sportsmen endeavor to be careful, and
if they exercise the proper degree of
care now there will be no necessity
for interfering with the season's sport.
In response to a letter from State
Forester Elliott setting out his reasons
for closing the deer season, which was
sent to the executive following' the
verbal request made by the forester.
Governor Withycombe sent the follow
ing letter to Mr. Elliott:
"I acknowledge receipt of your let
ter of August 13 recommending that
this office issue a proclamation post
poning the opening of the hunting sea
son until September 1, or until such
time as a general rain occurs in the
timbered sections of the state.
Fire Danger Held Negligible.
"You will probably recall that about
two weeks since, I, upon my own initi
ative, called you for a conference on
this subject, and at that time you did
not express yourself favorable to this
action. Since that conference I have
taken the matter up with the State
Game Warden and a number of sports
men, who believe the danger of forest
fires from experienced hunters Is really
negligible. The forests have been full
of campers all Summer, and the in
creased danger from hunters should
not be great.
"Since the date of the open Beason
for deer, August 15, is so near, and a
great many hunters have already
formed definite plans for hunting, it
would seem absolutely unfair to issue
such a proclamation. However, I
would suggest that your staff keep a
very close watch on the situation, and
If it is evident that forest fires have
increased by reason of hunting, I shall
be glad to issue such a proclamation
promptly."

DEER HUNTERS WARNED
DANGER OF FOREST FIRES CITED
BY GAME WARDEN.
Co-operation of Sportsmen AVho Enter
Wilds Tomorrow In Protecting
Forests Is Asked.
The necessity for caution with fire
on the part of the hundreds of hunters
who will invade Oregon forests tomor
row, the opening of the deer season
west of the Cascades, is strongly
emphasized by Carl D. Shoemaker,
State Game Warden.
"On account of the extreme drouth,
with its attendant fire hazard to our
timber resources," said Mr. Shoemaker,
"I urge all hunters and campers who
go into the forests to use the utmost
caution in the setting and extinguish
ing of their campflres. They should be
absolutely certain that the fire is out
when leaving camp. Matches should
not be thrown carelessly into under
brush or along trails. Every effort
should be made to prevent more fires.
Good sportsmen will co-operate with
forest fire officials in preventing and
putting out timber fires.
"The timber resources of Oregon are
of incalculable value, not only from
the point of view of lumjer, but for
cover for our wild game, and it is to
the greatest interest of all sportsmen
to assist in their conservation."
