BY HARRY M. GRAYSON.
For the first time this season a. ball
' game at Twenty-fourth and Vaughn
streets was postponed yesterday be
cause of the interference of J. Pluvius.
A drizzle, which continued during the
.greater part of the afternoon, forced
Cmpire Bill Guthrie to hand out the
"nothing doing" sign on the opening
contest of the Salt Lake-Portland
series. Bis Bill did not put the damper
on the festivities until after the 800
fans present and pastimers had lingered
about like a bunch of bailiffs for 20
minutes.
As this is the only trip that Bddie
llerr's Bees make here this year. Judge
William W. McCredie, president of the
Portland baseball company, announced
that there will be two games played"
Sunday, commencing at 1:30 P. M. Be
cause of the Victory Rose Festival
parades the games of today, tomorrow
and Friday will not start until 4:30
P. M., a sort of twilight league as it
were.
As the processions all commence at
2:"0 P. M. the rabid ones will have two
hours to give the conquering heroes,
pretty girls and floats the east and
west before trekking to Twenty-fourth
and Vaughn streets. t
Manager Herr fetched 16 players, the
limit, with him. The Mormons broke
even at Seattle, where Lyle Bigbee's
pitching was the toughest thorn in
their sides. Prexy Lane's lads have a
percentage of .518 and. as a result of
yesterday's games down south, are
resting on the fourth rung of the Baum
ladder and pressing Vernon and San
Francisco for second place. As the
Mackian machine is running on high
just at this time, there's bound to be a
classy lot of trench raids in the front
line zone this week.

country, rough, and hilly, with no place
to light in time of trouble, the type
of plane adopted should have more than
one motor. Thus, if one motor goes
wrone. the flieht can be continued until
a landing field is reached and the diffi-
culty adjusted.
"The flight was of importance in
demonstrating the nature of availabil
ity of the landing fields selected and in
determining the character of the coun
try, from ihe aviator's viewpoint, be
tween here and California. The route
we took was the natural route, and en
tirely practicable for continuous air
service."
Had Governor Olcott, at the eleventh
hour, decided that business of state
would prevent, most regretably, his
participation in the Salem to Portland
flight, there was an anxious proxy
waiting in the capital none other
than John H. Albert, president of the
Capital National bank.
Oetogenarlan Would Fly.
"Mr. Albert is 80 years old." said
Governor Olcott, 'but he was wild to
go adventuring in the clouds, and my
chief regret just now is that he had to
remain behind. By gosh,' it was great!
There was the Willamette river, miles
of it, stretched out below us like a
nice little canal. It's the honest truth
that I enjoyed every moment of the
flight."
Members of the reception committee
were William McMurray, chairman: W.
E. Conklin. Richard W. Childs. H. C.
von Horstel, chairman of the avia
tion committee; Milton Reed Klepper,
president of the Aero club of Oregon;
A. M. Grilley, and Adjutant Carolyn
Jones of the motor corps of the Na
tional League for Women's service.
The landings were specimens of skilled
cleverness that thrilled the watchers
to cheers, and that impelled William
McMurray to assert enthusiastically
that "this is the greatest day Portland
has ever witnessed," .predicting that
the new era of practicable traffic by
the air route has at length reached the
city.

dexterous piloting and the joy of see-

two minor thrills that sauced the event ;
with the soice of danger and which ter- ;
minated happily. j
Lieutenant Hackett. nosing his Cur
tiss in the dive to the turf, came near
to collision with an oak, and averted
disaster by swift and skillful maneu
vering. "My mechanic, in the front seat, must
have had an anxious moment or so.
when that tree loomed up in front of
us." commented the lieutenant. "But I
didn't see the blamed thing till we
were almost ready to crah into it."
One plane in the main squadron,
leading the rest, turned sharply ana
went down at a long slant behind the
distant trees, apparently over the river.
Those who watched it were apprehen
sively convinced that it had made a
forced landing, and were speaking of
rescue when the plane rose again and
turned in toward the field. It was
piloted by Lieutenant Fetters, who
used to visit Portland frequently, and
whose knowledge of the local typog
raphy led him a moment astray.
Wrong Course Spotted.
"I was looking for a. golf links," ex
plained Lieutenant Fetters, "and there
was the Waverley club spread out be
neath me. I circled down for a land
ing, but there were no markers nor
were there any evidence of the other
planes." We weren't more than 10 feet
off-the ground when I decided to look
elsewhere, and rose again."
The sixth Curtiss. which arrived
later in the afternoon, piloted by Lieu
tenant James S. Krull, spent the fore
noon at Lebanon in exhibition flights,
and rejoined its companion, the De
Haviland bombing plane, a half hour
after the latter had alighted at East
moreland. Lieutenant Krull was in
high good humor, challenging any and
all to dispute the claim of Lebanon as
the premier entertainment- center of
Oregon.
"Strawberries." he exclaimed. "O.
boy! They had gallons and gallons
of 'em, with thick cream. Look here!"
Berries Come by Air.
He stooped into the cockpit and
lifted a full crate of Lebanon straw
berries, the gift of the town upon his
departure. Off came the top, and in
less time than it takes to tell the avia
tors were demolishing berries and
passing the boxes around. ..
The Ie Haviland, piloted by Lieu
tenant William McR. Beck, and carry

senger, was as ready for war as for

Haviland struggled and stuttered with
engine trouble, and the officers were
dubious about making the trip without
being forced to land. But they did
make it, though most of the flight was
through storm conditions.
"We rose to dodge the rain," laughed
Lieutenant Bevan, "and ran into fog,
sleet and snow. It was cold. I'll tell
you. Flying at 10,000 feet we. passed
some of the biggest clouds I ever
saw."
Bomber ! Fast Plane.
"I kept her on an even keel, didn't
I," asked Lieutenant Beck.
"Not all the time. Beck, not all the
time," bantered his companion. "There
was one stretch in the fog when you
flew quite a while on left wing high."
The De Haviland is equipped with a
Liberty 12 motor, weighing 873 pounds,
and capable of developing 400 horse
power at 1600 revolutions. The plane
weighs 3200 pounds and attains a speed
of 124 miles an hour. Though her
wing spread is less than that of the
Curtiss type, the big bomber seems far
larger in every way. The De Haviland
will climb to a height of 20.000 feet.
"Our actual flying time, from Mather
field to Portland, was six hours and
40 minutes," said Lieutenant Beck.
Exhibits Start Today.
The Curtiss planes are equipped with
Hispano-Suiza motors, developing 150
horse power at 1450 revolutions, and fly
at a speed of 80 to 90 miles an hour.
They weigh 2200 pounds, are of the
Curtiss H J N 4 H type, and will
climb 1600 feet.
The squadron of planes will make its
first exhibition festival flight at 10
o'clock this morning, from Eastmore

CORVALLIS, Or.. June 10. (Special.)
Corvallis bade good-bye to the De
Haviland-four here this afternoon at 2
o'clock by the ringing of bells and
blowing of whistle's. The big plane
had been delayed all forenoon Decause
of engine trouble, and when she finally
soared over the city in triumphant de
fiance of the elements, a big shout of
acclaim went up from thousands of
throats.
Corvallis was particularly Interested
In the De Haviland because it was the
first plane ever to come to Corvallis,
and it was piloted here by a Corvallis
man. Lieutenant W. A. Bevan.
The snappy little Curtiss plane had
better luck. Her engines purred ener
getically this morning at 8 o'clock, and
at 8:30 Lieutenant Krull put her nose
to the sky. flew over the city and
campus grounds, executed all the
maneuvers, including loop the loop, tail
spin. Immelman turn and side glide.
For half an hour he held a large crowd

"For many years I have been con
inced that boxing in this country i
handicapped because of the absence of
a proper organization to look after its
nterests.
"Boxing was in an even worse con
dition in England when Lord Ionsdale
had the moral courage to come forward
and establish the National Sporting
club and a board of boxing control.
'All honor to you for having done
the same thing in accepting the presi
dency of the army, navy and civilian
board of boxing control, which I un
derstand Colonel Roosevelt would have
done had he lived. ,,
'I feel that in being responsible for
the exhibition between Willard and
Dempsey. it is in my power to do
something to strengthen the authority
of your board, and after discussing the
matter with the Toledo boxing com
mission, two of the members of which
the mayor. Cornell Schreiber and its
chairman. Christopher Wall are on
your board, we nave decided to invite
you to assume control in regard to the
appointment of all the officials, the
referee, two judges (if you think them
advisable) and the timekeeper.
'I also ask you to alter any condi
tions under which the exhibition will
be conducted, if in the opinion of your
board any such conditions are incon
sistent with the laws of humanity and
the rules of clean and wholesome sport.
"Before sending this invitation to
your board, I of course consulted with
Willard and .Dempsey, and when I
pointed out the great amount of good
it was in their power to do to boxing
by supporting your board, to their
credit be it said, they readily assented.
'I will be obliged if you could in
form me at your earliest convenience
of the decision of your board in the
matter."
