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.

Last Saturday's football game was as
Interesting a contest as the most enthu

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

waved in profusion over field and stand.

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

when his collar bone was broken, al

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,

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.

Group Contests.
The group contests at the association
are proving Interesting. The different
teams are getting acquainted with each

various gamos are being mastered. There
is an intense rivalry among the players.

TEST OF MATERIAL.
Recent Game of Berkeley and Stan
ford Freshmen So Regarded.
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

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-'

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."

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

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

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

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.

Oregon footbill eleven, accompanied
Manager Goodrich. Coach Kaarsberg
a number of loyal supporters, left on y
tertUiy afternoon's "overland" for Cr
fornia, where a Dig schedule of games
mapped out. Tomorrow they will f
the powerful Stanford eleven, that
cently defeated Reliance to the tune ot
to 0. The Oregon raon are determli
to make a better showing than did R
ance, and If they play their usual gr
game they should hold the Palo .A
players down to a small score.
The game with Nevada ought to bo
most Interesting one of the series C
gon has to play south. Both elevens
about evenly matched, Nevada havlnr
slight advant ge as to weight. V
little Is known concerning the condlt
of the Berkeley men, but thev will pro
bly be better prepared to meet Ore
than they were a year ago.
The games will all be hard, and C
gon's chances of winning, except In '
Instance, are motger indeed. Still,
experience will prove of great benefit
the 'Varsity men. The return trip of
team will be broken by a stop at A
land, where the Normal School will
played on November 20.
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.
The line-up in the California games v
be as follows; Center, Wagner, guar
Watts and Waddell; tackles, Jakway f.
Thurston; ends. Burh and Zelgler (c
tain), halves, Smith and Starr, full-ba
Payne; quarter, Scott; "subs," Goodr
and Stubllng.
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. '
game has been played over a dozen tlr
by every paper In the state, so there la
need of further comment In that line.
However, some nasty chargea have b
preferred against Individuals on the C
gon eleven and against the athletic p.
cy of the University. The student b(
emphatically denies these. The colle
record books are open to Inspection, a
an examination of themjshows that ev
man in the football squad Is a bona f
student, carrying at least 12 hours
classroom work, and that the char
from certrln quarters are therefore
terly rlldculous.
