13 TIIE MORXIXG OREGOXIAX, WEDNESDAY, MAY 29, 1918. SPEED KINGS TO BE CROWDED THURSDAY Decoration Day Motorcycle Races Promise to Be Full of Keen Competition. STARS TO VIE FOR HONORS "Rose City Speedway to Be. Scene of High-Class Events Between Best Riders in AVest Taconia and Seattle to Send Crowd. The eighth annual Memorial day mo torcycle races 'will hold the boards at the Hose City speedway tomorrow, the programme of 10 speed events being under the auspices of the Rose City Motorcycle Club. The officials and racing committee of the club are pre paring for a large crowd of speed fans. The dirt track has undergone a thor ough packing and oiling process and Is in tiptop condition. Letters have been received from Seattle and Tacoraa stating that nearly ZOO riders and enthusiasts will ride to Portland on their cycles for the races, many of them having entered their ma chines in the various events. The races last year were a great suc cess, from both a racing and a finan cial standpoint, and every event was closely contested from start to finish. "With the same riders entered this year and with the addition of a number of new speedsters, this year's meet should be a banner one. "Dusty" Farnham, holder of the Northwest and Far Western racing championships, who was the hero of last year's contests, is again entered this year, and is in fine fettle and "rarin' to go." Such well-known riders as Ed Berrith, "Red" Cogburn and others will compete with Farnham and will undoubtedly give him a run for "the money." The secretary of the Hose City Motorcycle Club has received entries from all over the Pacific Coast, and riders and machines began arriv ing last Sunday and have been tuning up dally at the speedway. Locals Train Hard. The local riders have been training hard for nearly two months, and by the looks of the speed that the home boys have been making every Sunday they are bound to make things inter esting for the best of the invading speed demons. It has been a common occurrence for the Portland riders to click a mile off in less than 50 seconds. The programme of 10 motorcycle races will commence promptly at 2 P. M.. As an extra added attraction this year there will also be a pro gramme of old-fashioned bicycle races, which will start at 1 P. M. .The safety of the public has been looked after by the racing committee, who has written a, special request to Chief of Police Johnson to have Ser geant Irvin and his motorcycle squad on deck to keep the crowds from cross ing the track. Motion-picture operators have asked permission to film the event. Programme Is Arranged. The racing committee has arranged the following programme of events: Raw 1 For lightweight Cleveland only 2 miles). Race 2 2'4-H. P. lightweights (2 miles). Baca S 7-H. P. novice (5 miles).

CITY LINKS READY SOON MUJflCTPAl. GOLF COURSE TO BE COMPLETED BT JUNE 8. Mayor Baker to Drive Oft First Ball. Set Charge to Be Arranged for Use of Coarse for Each Round. Unless something unforeseen crops up between now and June 8 the Port land municipal golf links in h-ast- moreland, adjacent to Reed College, will be ready for use on that date by the chasers of the gutts, percha pilL According to the plans of the com mittee in charge, which consists or Victor A. Johnson. Dr. Millard H1 brook, Jonah B. Wise and T. Morris Dunne, the honor of teeing up and driving the first ball on the new links will fall to Mayor George Baker. The new addition to Portlands golf courses is a nine-hole affair and is said to be in excellent shape. There are several very sporty hazards and bunkers on the new course. An ar tificial lake is one of the most at tractive bazards on the municipal links. Work was first commenced on the public links two years ago under super vision of former Park Superintendent J. O. Convill. and when that official was commissioned an officer in the National Army the work was carried on by his successor. The Ladd Estate donated the land for a period of five years provided the city would pay the taxes on the property, but there was so much opposition to this plan that the Ladd Estate decided to take care of the taxes itself. The charges for playing over the course have not yet been decided, but the committee expects to recommend some set charge for each round played.

A siiSi, CLUB MAGNATES TO PATCH UP SCHEDULE Remaining Owners in Pacific International to Meet in Seattle Friday. BUCKS ARE STRENGTHENED Acquisition of Valuable Men From Teams Dropped From. League Makes Portland Infield Stone wall Da ubert Shortstop. BY JAMES J. RICHARDSON". President Robert Blewett. of the Pa cific 'Coast International League, has issued a call for the magnates of the four clubs remaining in tbe circuit to assemble at Seattle Friday morning, at which time the schedule will be re arranged. This gathering is caused by the sudden action of Tacoma and Spo kane dropping out of the league. Judge McCredle will leave tomorrow night for the Puget Sound metropolis and expects to be able to return Sat urday night or Sunday. The Portland magnate is working on a schedule which he expects to present to the di rectors at Friday's meeting. According to a long-distance tele phone conversation the Portland mogul had with President Blewett yesterday, the Buckaroos will be sent to Vancou ver next week. The schedule under which the six teams operated has the Portland team billed to appear at tho British Columbia metropolis next week, so there will be no Jamming in the dates as far as the Buckaroos are con cerned. Just what club will return home with Manager Fisher's warriors the week of June 10 will be decided at Friday's meeting in Seattle. With but four clubs in the circuit, the Bucka roos are due to remain home two or three weeks at a time and their stay on the road will be of about the same duration. Manager Fisher's aggregation ap pears to have been materially strength ened with the addition of Shortstop Da ubert. Outfielder Daniels and Pitcher McXorran. Daubert is a brother of Jake Daubert. of Brooklyn, one of the best f irst-sackers in the major leagues. Daubert grabbed off three hits out of five trips to the plate In Monday's game against Seattle and handled seven chances without a bobble. The short pstching position was the one weak spot in the Buckaroos' - infield. Art Ritter. a Portland lad. tried to hold down the Job, and while he han dled himself nicely at times, he fell down badly in the pinches and was re sponsible for the Buckaroos handing several games to their opponents. A little more seasoning will undoubtedly prove a big asset to Ritter and next season may find him a valuable addi tion to any club. With Fisher on first. Haney at sec ond, Daubert holding down the short stop Job and Klble cavorting at third, the Buckaroo infield has the appear ance of a stonewall aggregation. When Walter McCredle and his Salt Lake Bees visited Sacramento last week and left the Capital City with the short end of the series it must have been an awful blow to the Salt Lake manager. Bill Rodgers' aggregation made lire miserable for McCredie when the Senators were holding forth in the Mormon city and It is said McCredle failed to make his appearance on the coaching line while Rodgers' crew was in Salt Lake. With such rare "goat-getters" as Denny Wilie. Gus Fisher. Rodgers and Griggs and last, but not least, Harry Gardner, trifling with the good-na- turedness of McCredie, It is a safe bet that Walter wished he was "overseas" In the first-line trenches after the Sen ators finished with him last Sunday night. Allan Sutton Sothoron. St. Louis American pitcher, who formerly twirled for the Portland Beavers, pulled a new record in baseball recently when he pitched but three balls in the fourth inning of a game with the Yankees, despite allowing a base hit. Del Pratt, first batter, singled to center; Walter Pipp hit the first ball pitched to Jimmy Austin, and Pratt was lorcea at sec ond. Ping Bodle hit the first ball Ditched to Austin and a double play re sulted. Gedeon and Sisler making the putouts. As a special gift from the American League S5000 worth of baseball ma terial was shipped the other day to American soldiers in France. This gift was exclusive of the work being car ried on by Clark Griffith with his "bat and ball fund. The Red Cross appealed to the Amer lean League, and it got quick results. The various club owners authorized President B. B. Johnson to appropriate $5000 to the cause, and before the day was over Mr. Johnson had ordered the goods and they were packed and ready for shipment. The following paraphernalia was shipped to the soldier laddies "over there": Two thousand baseballs, 500 bats, 50 first baseman mitts, 60 catch ers' mitts. 150 fielding mitts, 100 chest protectors, 50 masks. The American League, also the Na tional, Is doing all in its power to pro mote baseball Interest among the sol diers, both In France and at home. ABERDEEN" BEATS BEAVERS, 5-4 Error by King Coupled With Hits Gives Contest to Black Cats. ABERDEEN', Wash., May 28. (Spe cial.)

Since the 'passing as a ball player of Harry McCormick. who is now serving with Pershing In France, John McGraw has found It practically impossible to develop a top-notch pinch hitter. In Joe Wilhoit. however, he has a man who. while not as consistent as the Immor tal Mccormick, is still the best the Giants have had in some time. Wilhoit has been used as a pinch hitter six times this season and has made one hit. has driven in a run with a sacrifice fly once, and has drawn one base on balls. ijea to et pa waa tba e6etial thing. no matter how it was accomplished. It is not an easy matter for a player whose chief duty Is to hold down a por tion of the bench to step up to the plate and bag a safety from the of ferings of a pitcher who is holding his team at bay. and Wllholt has done at least fairly well. .

When Clarence Rowland first as sumed the management of the White Sox he was generally ridiculed Hard hearted Chicago fans called him a "bush leaguer." and said he'd never succeed. A year ago last Fall, when the White Sox failed to win the pen nant, Chicago fans clamored for Row land's release. But Owner Comlskey stuck to him and defied the support ers of the team. The winning of the world's championship by the White Sox last Fall, therefore, vindicated both Comlskey and Rowland. The latter now is recognised as on of the most capable managers in the big leagues, and he deserves the honors which he modestly bears. Manrlce E. McLaughlin Marries. PASADENA. CaL. May 21.

I10BWESG0 TO DROP Preparations Made to Take Franchise From Club. COLUMBIA PLANT TO ENTER If Northwest Steel Is Ousted From Shipbuilders' League, New Ag gregation Is Ready to Jump Into Fray at Once. Shipbuilders League Standings. w i . t, i w r. -t Smlth-Forter 3 1 !s.13 Pupple-Ballln 'J 8 .r.::x Cnrnfoot 6 2 ,75o Peninsula.... 1 S According to the latest reports, the! Coumbla River Shipbuilding Company baseball team will get the Shipbuilders ! League franchise held by the North- j west Steel Company team. The North west Steel team, which has been play ing under the name of Norwesco. has been the principal weak spot of the league. The team has not won a game. dropping eight in a row. Negotiations have now Deen stariea to take back the franchise and give It to the Columbia River aggregation, which is willing to assume It and step Into the fray any time. The Colum bia plant has been playing independ ent ball since the start of the season, and has been putting up a high-class game. Among the players working for the Columbia River Company are Frits McKean, Roy Doty. Gravelle, Simpson. Brakke and Clickenger. New Team Stroag. Along with the new players that would be attracted by the entering of the team in the "big league" and with the Influx of Coast and Northwest leaguers, the aggregation should be a strong one. Jack Randall will manage tho team and has already started preparations for Columbia's debut in the league, which will be on Decora tion day against McCormick. In St. Helens, if the deal Is completed. A number of other good players are working at the Columbia yards already who will be given a tryout this week. President Fred N. Bay, of the Columbia-Willamette Shipbuilders' League, has allowed the protest entered by Manager Yates, of the Grant Smith Porter team, last Sunday before its game with Supple-Ballin, and has or dered the contest to be replayed. "Prexy" Bays' decision puts Grant Smith-Porter back in second place in the league. The managers in the Shipbuilders' League have been busy signing up new players again this week, and some important changes and additions have been made up to date. Measor Grabs Players. Oscar Harstad, former Coast League twirler. who has been starring in the outfield for Northwest Steel, has been corralled 'by Eddie Mensor. manager of the McCormick team. Oscar was to report to one of tho Pacific Inter national League teams this week, but evidently has changed his mind re garding organized baseball this season.
