Crifrp, uharp -weather that makes the blood tingle ha been a boon to all lovers of outdoor sports, an(J the conditions last week -were ideal for a ramble over the coif course, a long cycle spin into the country, an invigorating row on the river. or a shaxo dash, -with a football neatly tucked under one's arm. The same cool weather has revived Indoor athletics, and the season of bowling and billiard tour naments, indoor baseball, basket-ball gymnastics, wrestling; and boxing:, may be properly said to have been ushered in. Three branches of sport pnly are termi nated for the Winter tennis, baseball and yachting. On Wanrerlr Conrne. Golf has cast its fascinations over a steady cult of followers. At the TTaver ly links dally matches jtre being played, icnd business men occasionally escape from cares to follow the gutta-percha ball through Its winding career of per versity. The "knock-out" tournament, now in progress, has pitted all the mem bers against each other, and during- the; first round, all the matches were hard fought for the honor of competing lri tho later matches. In tho men's compe VESSELS OF Agnes (Hammonds). Carlo (Morey and Eastham). Muriel (Beebe.) Becoml (O'Bryan). Empero (Tucker and Lampson). titlon the winners of the first round wore: C. H. Lewis. P.

In the ladies' matches the winners were: The Misses King, Flanders and Myrick, and Mesdaanes .N. E Ayer, Good and AJvord. The winners are matched for the second round of games, which are ow being ployed. Saturday afternoon is the favorite time of most of the golfers for this diversion, and the course is then dotted with driving, lofting players. Y. M. C. A, Ai the Young Men's Christian Associ svtion gymnasium this week, Physical Di rector Ringler will Introduce a new sys tem of arranging athletic competitions, that will tend to create a greater general Interest In athletics, and, also, to remove uit fierce spirit of competition which characterises "inan-to-man" contests. -Til is the system of "croup 3tatests" in gymnasium, classes, greatly in vogue in the East. The members of each gymnasium class are placed in groups, averaging- usually .about 20- men in each.s Competitions in every orancn or atnieucs are then oegun, not between Individual members, but be tween class groups, and a spirit of ri valry Is aroused which reaches every in dividual. Under the usual system of com petition the weaker or less agile partici pants soon drop out, lose interest, and fail to receive any benefit other than as spectators. By a system of scoring for even' event, every effort of each group membdr counts to raise the group score, and the warming influence of enthusiastic effort and of esprit de corps in the group affects every competition, whether pro ficient or not Baskot-ball, indoor base ball, relay races all will be introduced In these group matches. For the present the experiment will be tried only in the night class, and 40 minutes each evening will be devoted to this purpose. Gymnasium work Is now In full swing at the association. Ladies classes were opened Tuesday, and are to be continued on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Basket ball and Indoor baseball teams are being organized for "the" Fall contests; The first game of the season at the Y. M. C. A. was on the opening night, between teams composed as follows: Business men's team Dr. A. A. Morri son, captain; H.-W. Stone, B. B. Parker, Merwin Pugh and D. P. Dyer. Five o'clock class TL Fa Wilson, captain; Frank Callahan, Percy Freeman, Chas, Bush and Horry Xowengart. The busi ness men gave the boys of the Five o'clock class a close rub. Two short halves of 10 minutes each, were played, and at the end of the first half the score was. 3 to 3. The boys' team Anally won, 6 to a, Amonsr the Guardsmen. 4 Military drill has been resumed at the Armory, and the militiamen are consid ering ways and means of ""re-entering the athletic field, and recovering their form er hold, on Indoor sports. In former years the regiment was an active factor in the field. Several of the companies Had organized football teams, and an an nual indoor athletic meet was held, .at one of which Kerrigan and other prom inent athletes made their first appear ance. Indoor baseball was also popular among the guardsmen. The Armory is well equipped with gym nasium apparatus, has an excellent as sembly hall and the entry of the regi ment In athletics again would attract vis itors to every contest. When all the elements that combined to make tho strong, loyal spirit that was manifested by the guardsmen of the old First Begl ment, O. "Ni. O., are named, the least will not be the regimont's athletics, which bound the men closer together and brought about strong personal associ ations among the members. Co-operation of the officers with the men should bring about a revival of this old-time spirit At Multnomah. Indoor gymnasium work opened auspi ciously at .the Multnomah Club last Mon day, under the direction of Robert Krohn, Who has charge of the classes, with Joe Acton as wrestling- Instructor and David Campbell as the mentor who will teach tho amateur boxers the approved meth ods of putting up their dukes. Ail the men waar najty uniforms of white duck, and some neat exhibitions are promised this year. The work has been begun spiritedly, and the special training of fered lp. wreBtllng and boxing is proving popular. During the week Captain. Pratt, of" the Multnomah fqotball team, has had his men out every night, going through the preftmlnary work incident to the hard ening up process. Punting, running with the ball, passing, catching punts, after long splrlal flights, have been the order of-the work. Next week line-ups will be commenced, and preparations made for a practice game with one qf the Valley colleges, within two weeks. The Che mawa Indian School will not put a team in the field, and the club must look else where for preliminary games. CHAMPIONSHIP BILLIARDS. ' Commercial Club Wants a. Tourney "With Multnomah. The Billiard Committee of the Commer cial Club has arranged to open the season wlthji series of championship games, both THE OREGON YACHT CLUB OK THE of billiards and pool, and has sent a pro posal to the officials of 'the Multnomah Club, in substance as follows: Twenty billiard players and 20 pool players of the Commercial Club, will be divided into flVe sets, or classes of four each, and then, if it is necessary, the four members of each class.will be handi capped, making it possible for the -winner to play the same number of games that every other contestant must Rlay. "Our proposal is to have the winners of each sot, being five persons, to play against a like number of gentlemen who will be tried out in your club, in the man ner es above stated. In the tournament between the two clubs, the members, of course, are to be handicapped as equally as possible, tho handicapping to be done by a. joint meeting of the Multnomah Bil liard Committee and our own. Of course, after we know who the five winners are, nothing is to prevent iach club continuing the games to ascartsln who of the five is the winner of the chaut ploxwbip df his particular club. This, .however, is merely a club matter, and need not. in anyway, Intrude in the tour nament arrangements with the five win ners as above referred to." The -Commercial players- have great hopes that the Multnomah Club will ac cept this proposal, because they 'think, with good reason, it vlll create much In terest in billiards In both clubs. After the five winners of the different sets of the Commercial Club players are known, the club' will continue the contest until Its first and second winners are picked, and thoy will be awarded two Yery fine cues. ' Tho club tournament will' com mence October 20, and will probably last a month. . p The Commercial Club's committers " ore as follow: Billiards Wm. H. Hurjburt, B. H. Trumbull and A. R, Diamond.

In the opening game qf the California football season, Stanford defeated tho Reliance Club, of Oakland, 6-0. Carroll Seeley, of Portland, on the offensive, and Ralph Fisher, df The Dalles, on the de fensive, were two of the stars of th'e game. Slaker. the former Chicago Uni versity full-back, also came up to his rep utation. All accounts of the game agree that VESSELS OF THJ2J Acms (Hammonds). Seeley,' Slaker, Fisher and Hill did un- "The work of Seeley, the big guard from Williams College," says one ac count, "was the feature of the game." He came baek repeatedly from his guard position to take the ball and plow through the Reliance line for substantial gains. "Slaker's llne-bucklng was vicious and effective. He goes at the line low and A fast, The backs have not yet been shak en together so as to work to the best ad vantage on account of the large number of men trying for the back positions. "Hill, a new ono back of the line, was tried in Smith's place. He is hea.vy and aggressive, but must get speed before he can keep company behind the line, Allen, who went Into Thompson's place at left end, will make a strong bid for the po sition. He is fast and heavy, and makes aivlclous tackle. - - "No reliable estimate, "continues the PORT TACK, account, "can be,. made of the Stanford team as a whole, further than that Jhe line is far stronger than It has been for two years.. The work of the men in tho game showed a capacity for develop ment that ought to produce the best team that has represented the cardinal In three years. The team la a ground-gajnerj out as yet is weaic on tne aerensivc, jnsn er being the Individual exception. His wonderful talent at backing up his line made him a prominent figure o the game."

Portland sportsmen were out in farce when the open season for upland birds; began last Monday. With the ban of the law removed, the hunters who were feverish in the desires to get out and pot their share of pheasants, grouse and quail, were able to calm their sporting blood by the active pleasuro of tramping the hills of fae Valley 'with their dog& and guna. This season ia the best In years. Mon golian pheasants are Bald to be more plentiful than heretofore, and large cov eys of tho other birds could be raised al most at will, Never have there, been more perfect conditions for the raising of 'broods. In the early Spring watrrt, pleasant weather caused the plni3 to FOR, POSITION Swallow (Wolff). thrive, and the Subsequent conditions have 'all been favorable. ' ' Oh the West Side- special to "Valley points, MoMlnnvlllo and Independence, two crowded qoaches of hunters, with loads of ammunition, dogs and guns, left Sunday afternoon, So as to reach the country for the opening day. A large number of others went on the East Side regular trains for Valley points, and oth ers went out on fQot, to scour the coun. try nearer Portland. All reported excel lent sport. The law establishing a limit for birds that may be bagged by one sportsman in a" day was. uniformly well Observed. Against "pot-hunters," there is consid erable feeling, and also toward the Cali fornia men who are charged with trans gressing the law as to a day's limit, as well as that prohibiting the sending of birds out of the state. On the Columbia duckhunting has also been good. Mallards, teal and sprigs have been plentiful, and the hunters have all had good luck. Strings of 90 and 100 VESSBIS OF THB Swallow fWoJCO. Agnes are common, and they rarely run under 40. The energy of Game Warden Quliphy. In enforcing the game laws during the closed season, is responsible for the ex cellence of this yoar"s sport, And for the unusual number of birds. SCHOLASTIC FOOTBALL. Portland Academy Flrnt in.

The only old players it has back are McFarland, Hous ton and Ross. There is a new man at the school Edmunds, who played on the Pacific University eleven s,t Forest Grove. ,The High School Is also suffering from tho lack of material. Few of the old players seem to care to play this year, but they are expected to come out when the season gets a little farther advanced. Those who will probably play on this year's team are: The two Trowbridge boys, Smith. "Wllhelm, Holbrook, Btead man, Ooanell and Tldcomb6.

Denny has gone up against auch cleyer men as Young Griffo, with whom 1 e fought a 25-round draw, and lost two close decisions to Spider Kelly and Sammy Maxwell.
