SEASON IN FULL SWING Outdoor Athletic Find Many Pnt- troiia Among Local Sport-Lovers, nnd Future Hold Promise. The Fall athletic season is approach ing its height. The Kotball season was opened propitiously bj a Multnomah vic tor; other games will follow rapidly, and culminate in the ever-popular Thanksgiving Day match. During the line weather of last weeK, golfing and riding with hares and hounds were pop ular sports. A new golf tournament has begun, and there will eoon be contested I a lively series of inter-club matches, in bowling and billiards. The wrestling sea son is indefinitely postponed, and the Budd Smith-Greenland match may not be pulled off, on account of the former's Illness. Indoor athletics are lagging. The Toung Men's Christian Association has active basket-ball and indoor baseball I teams, but can find no rivals with which to contest In the city. The academic and High School footballers are having a lively series of games. There is, how ever, a crying need for an interscholastlc association, a well-arranged schedule of games for the championship, and more Interest in, and supervision and encour agement of the sport by the faculties of the various schools. New Bovrliiifc Club. The new bowling club has created a stir among the enthusiasts of the alleys. It will be called the United Bowling Club, and will take in nearly. If not quite, all of the prominent bowlers of the city who are Joining to help the movement along. Already there are over 60 men on the membership list, and the success o the project Is as sured. George Fernau Is temporary chairman of the club, and a permanent organisation will soon be effected. The club is negotiating for the alleys of the old Oregon Road Club, and it is the plan to secure centrally located quarters, where the bowlers can drop in for a casual game. While the club will exist primarily for bowling, there will be re ception and reading-rooms, and in all probability a bllllard-room will be added. The club will enter teams in competi tions and foster the game of bowling generally. In this connection the sug gestion might be made to provide facili ties Tor rolling ten-plna. for duffers, who do not "appreciate the- '"mysteries of i cosKea Hat. ana wnose cmei enjoyment is in the rattle and clash of the falling pins, and also because it Is the leading game of bowling elsewhere in the coun try than the; Northwest. Trl-Club Tonrnnment. This week will begin the three-club bowling tournament for tne possession of the Feldonhelmer trophy. The first games will be bowled November 14, between the Commercial Club and Y. M. C. A. teams, on the Association's alleys. On Novem ber 20, the Commercial Club will bowl with the Multnomah team on the M. A. A. C alleys. All of the clubs will enter OREGON' ROAD CLU1TS CRACK TEAM.

Last Saturday's football game was as Interesting a contest as the most enthu slastlc lover of the game could wish to see. The grandstand and sideline wer crowded with spectators. The day v. as clear and pleasant. And the whole spec tacle was pleasing, full of color, life and animation, from gridiron and players to grandstand and onlookers. The root- i lng could, not have been surpassed. The game itself was not free from spectacu lar features. "What, for example, could be prettier than to look down upon the field from one of the empltheatrlc sides, when the fleet footed Kerrigan was dashing around the ond for 30 yards, while the red and white waved in profusion over field and stand. McMillan, by the way, also scored a good run on tno same tncK a aouDie pass. imao. , Tho game was full of good plays, and few ? hav un a mnm Miirwit stand nv a i losing team than that on the Oregon two yard lino, when the heavy Multnomah backs charged and charged In ain, to force another touchdown and make the scoro 10-0. Kaartberg's "Kangaroo Jump." One of the Oregon team's plays was a neat execution of Kaarsberg's kangaroo Jump, done neatly and quickly enough by full-back Payne to take one's breath away. As quick as a flash, given momen tum by his fellows, he drove over the Multnomah line, high in the air, and made the needed gain for his team. It is not exaggeration to say that George McMillan was a great source of strength to the Multnomah eleven, both on the offense and defense. In every play he was at the cracltal point. Captain Pratt also played a strong game, he de fending his position In fine style. The ac cident to McMillan In the second half, when his collar bone was broken, al most demoralized the eleven, and Eugene's fierce rallies were hard to stop. "With vi ro ouuiib cco-au iuuuiuuiau iiau, .c rv-i.e i u., rZT V" I With McMillan out of the game, as he ' will be for some time, Multnomah will have' a difficult time defeating the college oleven, fresh from its California contests, on Thanksgiving Day. "Wrestling; Matters. The Budd Smith-Greenland wrestling match is off again. Smith has written , c"hasp nlghed first and Mrs. Buffum see the officers of the Multnomah Club that j on(j. The sport Is proving popular here, his health will not permit him to train, and the rides across country will be con and that his physician has positively for- tinued fortnightly, the weather permit- bidden It. Neither Greenland nor Smith , have been on the mat since 'ST, when Smith won the champ'onslup of the North- west, and it would have ta"kon hard w"ork to put either In condition. Now the match Is off for good. It Is probable that Bulllvant, the Spo kane aspirant for wrestling honors, will be taken on for a match about Christmas time or New Year's. Bulllvant Is anx ious for a contest and either Greenland or O'Connor may be pitted against him. Joe .cton is developing some young cracks. and an evening of wrestling bouts would doubtless be much .appreciated by the spOrt-loving public Indoor Athletics. Why there should be apathy in indoor t athletics cannot be easily explained. Only one local organization the Young Men's Christian Association has either a basket-ball team or an Indoor baseball team. The association is willing to meet any In door baseball team in the city on any grounds. Indoor sports are interesting and live ly, and there ought to be enough baseball material in the gymnasium classes of the Multnomah Club and among the members of the Third Regiment of the National Guard to get together a team and meet such an open challenge. The association team is composed of Gardner, captain; Miller, "Viggers, McKenzIe, Bush, Wilson .and Bloom, with a dozen other men try ing for the vacant positions. At the Young Men's Christian Assocla- j tion. Tuesday evening, election returns were receivea ana tne pumic entertained I by an athletic exhibition. A feature was introduced by Instructor Ringler, in the way of electric club-swinging, the clubs being Illuminated, and tiny electric bulbs being scattered over his figure, giving a dazzling and glittering effect. Hairy Livingston gave an exhibition of fancy baton-swinging that was highly entertatn ing, and Harvey Bailey, T. Yiggers and Mr. Ringler did some artistic tumbling, ," -rnugim aiw save u cuuuiuua uj. long and high diving over chairs. Group Contests. The group contests at the association are proving Interesting. The different teams are getting acquainted with each other's mettle and the fine points of the various gamos are being mastered. There is an intense rivalry among the players. The October contests have just been, com pleted, the total score to date being as follows: Reds, 315; Blues, 309; Pinks, 2S1, and Whites, 310.

In the lntefclsfss matches the 'game between the 5 o'clock team and the noon class did not come off, owing to a mis understanding. The 5 o'clocTc team tailed to appear, and the game was given to the noon class. This will not stand as a forfeit, and the game will be played over again. At the Link. At the Wayerly links during the week the' weather induced groat numbers of nlajers to cover the course. The latter . . .!, no. itaifnto tn th "" """ 'c; , x ,' contest for the Wesley Ladd cup and a mixed four3ome competition. Last Tues day the men's handicap competition Was won by W. M.

Two weeks ago the Stanford freshmen football team defeated the Infant class eleven of the University of California, thereby testing the football strength of the new material received by the rival colleges. The score was 5-0. The Cali fornia team contained graduates from the best preparatory teams on the Coast. The Stanford team had light, quick play ers that worked together In perfect team Tii.av. kppninc- the ball the srreater Dart of the samc and scoring In the first half by the hardest kind of line breaking and end runs. The game was also Interesting, as af fording a test of the two coaches, Yost, of La Fayette, who is coaching the Stan ford team, and Kelly, of Princeton, who is directing the California eleven. Yost is regarded as a. great organizer, and he has a happy faculty of instilling team work In an eleven. The Thanksgiving 'Varsity game of the California colleges is still a close propc-' sltlon. Fisher, of The Dalles, Stanford's best half-back, is laid up with a dislo cated collar-bone. Plans of Nntlonnl League. "The magnates of the National League have again donned the gum shoes and green whiskers and something seems to De doing, says sporting .L.iie. "It has only been a short time since President Brush, of the Cincinnati Club, has been in Pittsburg, Chicago and St. Louis, and in each city there have been conferences of a subrosa nature. "When the circuit was reduced to eight clubs, dropping out Louisville, Cleveland, Baltimore and Washington, the diplomats of the National game expected to witness the greatest boom of modern times. The boom did not arrive on scheduled time, and some of the magnates, instead of reaping a golden harvest, lost a chunk of the coin of the realm. "Now it Is said that the circuit will be enlarged to take in Baltimore and Wash ington next season. The American League has been contemplating absorbing the two cities named, but the parks and stands are controlled by the parent organ ization, and It is not likely that Ben Johnson and his colleagues will care to antagonize the big League. The anxiety of the American League magnates to get into these cities seems to have aroused the club owners of the big League." cap and pin whleh represent so much to Solomon, L.

BILLIARDS AT MULTNOMAH Handicap Tourney for Club Members and Proposed Intcrclub Match With the Commercials. EMBERS of the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club who take keen pleasure in bil liards the king of indoor games are practicing with assiduity. The reason for their activity is that they are preparing for another Handicap billiard tournament, which will commence some time between Novem ber 15 and December 1. The exact date has not yet been determined, as the wishes of the contestants will be deferred to, and they have not yet agreed upon the time for beginning. At the annual meeting of the club last February, J. N. Teal, the retiring presi dent, In his report, advised that "a billiard tourney bo made an annual feature of club work. The reason for his recom mendation, which was adopted was the great success of the tournament last Fall, the first held at the club for four years. The winners in last year's tourney were H. P. Goerlng, B. D. Slglor and J. E. Cumson, who won first, second and third prizes, respectively. All three are again entered this year and have strong uopes of making another good showing, al though the other players, with "blood In their eves," are sandpapering" and chalk ing cues and declare they will "fix 'em," this time. Players "Will Be Classified. The tournament will be conducted on practically the same Hne3 as the one last year. The players will be divided into classes for the preliminary games, and winners of the classes will play In the finals. The winner in the finals will be awarded first prize, and the next man will receive the second. It is desired to have the players in the respective classes play even, If possible, leaving the handicapping for the finals; but It will probably be necessary to deviate from this, in some instances. Un less the list of entries becomes so long that it would take too much time to decide the tournament, every man in a class will play every other man In that class, and the one losing the fewest num. ber of games will be declared the winner of his class in the preliminaries, and will qualify for the finals, which will be played In the same manner., The board of directors of the club has htmg up a very neat gold medal for first prize, and the Brunswick-Balke-Collender Company has presented a handsome cue which will so to the winner of second place. The Entries. The entries, so far, are as follows: E. L. Powell H. P. Goerlng, L. J. Gold smith, C. E. Stone, F. J. Patterson, A. L. Upson, Ernest Bross, Allan C. Peel, C. W. Zeller, A. W. Sydney, C. H. Grltz macher, J. C. Muehe, W. B. Fechheimer, F. W. Gomph, C. W. Lawrence, H. C. Lohman, J. B. Lumgalr, J. P. Lombard, George E. Streeter, Lansing Stout, J. H. Clark, E. B. Mallory, W. J. Leonard, B. D. Sigler, R H. Benedict and J. E. Culllson. Soon after the conclusion of the billiard tournament, the poolplayers of the Mult nomah Club will bo given an opportunity to show their skill. Entry sheets have not yet been prepared, but they will soon be hung up in the club, and players will then be figuring on wearing the gold medal which will be awarded as first prize, or compromising on the cue which will go to the second man. The Commercial Club Is also arrang ing for billiard and pool tournaments, which will probably be on about the same lines as the ones to be played at the Multnomah Club. Plans for them will probably be sufficiently matured by next Sunday for Tho Oregonlan to give more extended notice. Inter-Club Tournament. Arrangements have practically been made for an interclub tournament be tween the Multnomah and Commercial Clubs. W. C. Dunlway, chairman of the billiard committee of the Multnomahs, and J. H. O'Bryan, chairman of a like committee of the Commercials, have agreed that after the club tournaments are decided, three players from one club will be pitted against three players from the other club, the winner to receive a gold trophy and the usual honors ac corded to victor In an Interclub contest. Players have not been specified, al though H. P. Goerlng and E. L. Powell will probably be two of Multnomah's men, and W. H. Hurlburt and A. R. Dia mond two from the Commercial. These games will bo without handicaps, and should arouse much Interest. Tho third player from each club will soon be se lected. Probably the club tournaments will enable tho chairmen to decide on suitable men. AMONG JUNIOR. FOOTBALLERS. School, Academy and Multnomah Players Active. The much-looked-for football g&me be tween the Portland High School and Port land Academy elevens took place yester day afternoon on the Multnomah field. The Bishop Scott Academy team also played In Astoria yesterday. Much surprise Is felt at the work of the High School football eleven, at Fof est Grove last week. The team which had. up to that gamef been considered a weak onemade a better showing than the academy team, when the latter played in Forest Grove. The Pacific University and the second Multnomah teams played in Forest Grove yesterday. Portland Academy. The Portland Academy team practiced every afternoon v of the past week, to make ready for the game with thettlga School team yesterday. Coach Montague had the game with the Bishop Scott Academy eleven, which was to have been played Wednesday postponed. He did not wish his men to take any chances of being laid but and unable to play Jn the game yesterday. High School. The High School team also practiced bard during the week, and the boys were In the best of condition for the game of 1 yesterday. Manager MIddleton Is trying to make arrangements for a game to be played in Seattle with the High School boys, of thnt city. He has heard, in an indirect manner, that the Seattle Cham ber of Commerce has agreed to guaran tee the expenses bf the trip. It the pro posed game can be arranged. It will glvo a great Impetus to Interscholastlc foot ball in the Northwest. Bishop- Scott Academy. v The Bishop Scott Academy team played with the -Astoria Football Club's eleven on the latter's grounds yesterday. Tho academy team is exceedingly light, but It played fast ball. It is not known whether or not it will play the High School eleven this 3 ear. Its manager Is willing to arrange a game, providing the High School boys play the same men they did when they played the Portland Academy. The game bewteen the Bishop Scott Acadomy and the Portland Acadefny, which was 0 have been played last Wednesday, will probably be played a week from, that date. Second Multnomah. The second Multnomah team had a practice game with the Orients last Sun day morning, and defeated them by & scoro of 5 to 0. Since McMillan hurt his shoulder, there has been an opening- for one or the second team players on the first team. This place will rriost likely be filled by Wilhelm or Mathena. DEA11TII OF GOOD JOCKEYS. Fear That Supply Will Run Short Here Next Year. There is likely to be a dearth of good Jockeys riding In America next season. 'Even now," declares 'Phrady,' In the , Brooklyn Eagle, "we suffer from a lack of real -good riding material, there being ' only six Jockeys who can be really classed ( as top-notchers in the saddle. They are ' Spencer. Turner. Henry, Burns, Bullman and O'Connor. McCue Is too erratic and J unreliable to be classed with the others. Henry. Turner and in all probability I Spencer, will ride on the other side next ' season. I "I doubt if Spencer will ever again be ' seen In the saddle wearing the colors of his present employer, James R. Keene. The defeat of Commando In the Matron Stakes, Mr. Keene charges, was owing to Spencer's carelessness alone and near ly everyone who saw the race will bear him out. As a punishment for his gross carelessness, Mr. Keene has determined to keep Spencer on the ground for tho remainder of the season. This means a loss to the Jockey of at least ?5000, for he 1 could easily earn that amount before rac ing ends in the East. I "While the punishment is regarded a3 severe, it Is a Just one. The lesson v 111 1 be salutary in its effect and it will act as a warning to other Jockeys who have been riding with more or less careless ness. With, his usual far-sightedness. James R. Keene, before annoumJng the penalty he intended inflicting on Spencer, bought Jockey Milton Henry's contract from W. J. Arkell ond Louis Elmore, the boy's present employers. Henry has risen to the front rank of American Jockeys In a single season. He Is a thoroughly capable rider and he win not be forced to take off his cap to any 01 nis ienow mates wnen no per forms In England next season. Henry re ceived a retaining fee of J5000 from Ar kell and Elmore, but Mr. Keene paid a sum considerably in excess of that amount for his services for next season. "The jockey's mother Henry Is still a minor was not consulted when the trans fer was made, and she, feeling that she was entitled to at least a portion of the surplus, paid for her boy's services, in tends to bring suH for. the money unless a settlement Is made .Elmore discdvered the boy. and It vas through him more than anything else ..that .the boy has I gained such an excellent reputation as a rider. It Is seldom that Henry rides a horse that has not a chance to finish in the money. To secure Henry's services it was first necessary to go to Elmore. Very often, he would receive three or four applications from trainers for the boy's services in one race. Elmore, be ing a shrewd trainer himself, chooe the best mount. In his opinion, for his protege, and as both he and Arkell have bet heavi ly on Henry's mounts they have reaped the benefit." BASEBALL MEN ON THE ROAD. Beha-tlor Usually Quite ai "Worthy ns That of Others. Whilc" ball players do a number of things that they shouldn't when they are on the road, they are no worse than the ordinary run of traveling men, although their breaches of etiquette are heralded far and wide, while the sins of tho ordi nary traveler never reach the light of newspaper publicity. A case in point is related by the Times-Star, of Cincinnati, as follows: "During the stay of the Reds In Pitts- SALEM'S ImPPSPPIi ''" , , - ' t' - $.'

WORLD burg for the last scrle. the National So ciety of Municipal Electricians held its convention at the same hotel at which the Reds were stopping. .The day of the arrival of the Reds the electricians had their banquet. "About 1 o'clock that night the cham pagne had succeeded in getting In its singing effect upon mnay of the electri cians, and the maudlin voices of the members of the society were heard in all those songs that mark banquets where the wine gets the better of the brain. As a blasphemous flnlU to the banquet proper, tho 'gentlemen sang "Nearer, My God. to Thee.' "Then a dozon or more of the banquet ers made their way to the lebby of the hotel, whore they danced on tjie marbf noor, uttered rude Jests and, after dis gusting all the sober people in the vicin ity, adjourned to the hotel bar, where they completed the work begun in the banquet hall. Neither the hotel propri etor nor the police "nterfered. What ilf one ball plajer had done what these 'gentlemen' did?" CARE Or RACEHORSES. Comfortable Surroundings and Many Luxuries. Whep a racehorse distinguishes hlm-H self by winning some important contest, one of the first p-ovislons made for him is en Individual trunk, containing an out fit of clothing and toilet appliances of alii sorts. Besides this, special attendants are selected to look after his comfort and cleanliness. The grooming of the horses at a racetrack is ono of the Interesting morning happenings, and gives one a clearer idea of the value of these anl- f mals than their performances on the track can present, however brilliant they may be. When ono observes the care they receive and the nicety with which they are washed, dried, brushed and combed and the watchful care that is 1 bestowed upon them as they feed, one ' realizes that they represent thousands of dollars In themselves and in their poaelble winnings of the future. j Every great racehorse has his trunk. The pacing horse Star Po.nter has al- 1 most as many trunks as a Summer glil, I but the average horse has but cne trunk, very strongly built, marked with his name, and provided with a special lock. Each animal has his own basins, pans and palls for the toilet, his feeding uten sils, brushes and combs. The pans are usually of agateware, plainly marked with the horse's name, and are never used by any other horse. A racehorso has many sets of t6wels of various ' grades and his blankets of various weights for all weathers. These are maiked and numbered and are kept b du tifully clean and well ahed. The fce.ong ings of the horse arc carried about in his trunk during periods of traveling and while ho is visiting in a strange stable, j Besides all this luxury, every great horse nowadnvs must have a Jewel case, ' and with age and success the collection frequently becomes very valuable. In the casket, which Is a compartment of the trunk, are kept the various trinkets presented by admirer 5. These consist 1 largely of articles of wear, such as bri dles finished In silver and gold, silver chained and mount'Xl nalters, blinkers with valuable settings, and combs and brushes mounted in handsome style. These things, although rarely used, and often of great value, are never .kept on view at the homes of the owners and trainers, but are invariaoly carried about ' In the horse's trunk, accompanying him on all his travels. When at home there are cases and' special receptacles for them in the stable. The horses travel in parlor cars espe cially constructed with a view to horse comfort, are tended ks carefully as ba- f bles. and are almost alwavs loved by their trainers and stable boys, especially I when their dispositions are good, and the j ugly-tempered racehore is the exception 1 to the general rule. When they win a ' great race they are p tted and flattered to such an extent that were it not for their proverbial horse sense their heads would be completely turned. It has become quite a fashion at the Eastern tracks for women to go Into the nnilrincVr sifter a rnrn to sspei th victorious horse. The race horse never shows his I good breeding more than on these occa sions. He relaxes from his usual dig nity and shows In every way that he is conscious of the compliments that are showered upon him from pretty eyes and lips. The presence of women in the paddock before a great race, is not en couraged by owners and trainers, but when the race is run and won, there is a special welcome for feminine visitors.

Now that the Multnomah game Is ov some estimate of the strength of the ' lege team can be made. The eleven cc pares most favorably with those of I mer years. Individual stars are more merous than ever, but the team work as yet, undeveloped. With the added parlance of the CaPfornla trip, this def should be remedied, and by Tnanksglv time the men should be In splendid fo for accurate team work.

Manager Goodrich has scheduled a gr between the freshmen and the first t of the Portland Academy, to be playet the campus November 24. The freshi class contains a lot of husky youngs and will be represented by a strong c bination of players. Some little excitement has been cau here by the absurd articles which h appeared In certain Valley papers aftermath of the Salem-Eugene game.
