THE SUNDAY OEEGONIAN, PORTLAND, FEBRUARY 26, 1905. GHAPIN ITS HEAD Qne of the Charter Four Is Made President, M. A. A. C. REMINISCENCES How the Multnomah Amateur Ath letic Club Originated and Devel oped Into the Present Un rivaled Organization. Now that the Multnomah Amateur Ath letic Club Is far beyond tho ago of swad dling clothes and has moro than reached. Its majority. It seems peculiarly fitting that In Its rccont election it should have chossn one of Its four original founders as its president. The election of XV. H. Chapin to the presidency of the M. A. A. C. recalls vividly its beginning and early history. The Multnomah Club, which' has many rivals but no peer on the Pacific Coast, today owes its existence practically to four men, W. If. Chapin, Charles B. Mc Uonell. "Billy" Lipman and Al Robert son, and had its inception in the Portland Football. Cricket and Athletic Club, which flourished In 1830 and the few pre ceding yearn This latter club consisted principally of the English residents of the city. Invitations to membership were ex tended to several Portlanders, however, and in that way those who formed the M. A. A. of today became interested in athletics as sanctUned by amateur clubs. In tb year 1S90 "Billy" Lipman, who had been In attendance at one of the Eastern military academies and there gained his knowledge of American foot ball, became Interested in the Portland Football. Crickot and Athletic Club, and when he became a member advocated his newly-acquired ideas of football as against the old association and Rugby gamrs played by the club. "Charlie" Mc TJonell. who with Canada as the land of his nativity, professed his allegiance to the old English games, was finally won over to the American way of thinking through the efforts of Lipman, and in conjunction with Chapin and Robertson it was decided by tho four that it would he a pretty good idea to form a cluh modeled purely after American ideals of amateur athletics. The Original M. A. A. C. Men. Those, the original M. A. A. C. boys, then made arrangements for a meeting to be held, and to which the members of the English club were Invited to attend. It was the Idea that the latter club should consolidate with the new one, but during the meeting the Englishmen refused so flatly that the matter was dropped. With in a week, however, the originators of the winged "M" had recovered their hopefulness- and Issued a call for another meet ing. Those. who recall this meeting ex press It as being one of the "warmest" ones over hold, but it was at this meeting that the now well-known M. A. A. C. was started. It was at first designed that the signature list should contain at least 100 names before the club was organized, hut when It was found that SO names had hcen signed for membership that night, it was concluded to form the club. Lip man nnd A. B. McAlpIn were the prime movers In this meeting, and a committee was appointed to prepare a constitution and bylaws for the new club. The club met a few nights later upon call of the committee and started actual existence, with A. B. McAlpin as president and W. 31. Chapin. the present president, as sec retary. This event took place in the early Spring of 3891, and the club began its actual career with a membership of about 35. Its first officers were A. B. McAlpin, president; J. "W. Paddock, vice-president; TV. 11. Chapin, secretary, George I. Blckel. treasurer; Bruce Ij. Carr, R. P. Efflngcr. Ij. J. Goldsmith, H. E. Judge, "VV. F. Lipman. J. XV. P. McFall and Her bert "Wilson, trustees. Nerve Carried It Through. That the Multnomah Club became a reality was due simply to the pure nerve of its first officers. Beginning its exist ence without so much as one cent in the treasury, the officers of the club Imme diately ordered over ?S00 worth of gym nasium apparatus. When this was done it occurred to someone that it might be a good idea to secure rooms. After much hunting around, quarters were finally found on Second street, and then the need of funds became apparent. Sub scriptions were taken up among the mem bers and a fee established. That was the beginning of the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club, and from that time since it has flourished and grown steadily, un til it now boasts of an actual active mem bership of more than 700 and nearly as many more in its other departments ot membership. Immediately after its organization the club went Into the football world. Its first game was with the Bishop Scott Academy, and Captain Jack Savage's Multnomah sons were woefully defeated. T. Scott Brooke, who managed that first team, thought it would be a good idea to bring the stars of the victorious B. S. A. team into tho Multnomah camp. This was done, and such later Multnomah football stars as Holt, Ellsworth, Gavin, Mont gomery. Mark Brooke and Flske then donned for the first time the crimson and white of the M. A, A. C. With such a tam the Multnomahs did not hesitate to take on the then crack team of the Ta coma Amateur Athletic Club, and the first really big game of football witnessed by Portlanders was played between these clubs on Thanksgiving day of 1891. The game resulted in a victory for Multnomah, and, Tacoma wishing revenge, a match was arranged for, to be played in Tacoma on New Year's day. By this time the club had begun to grow, and, flushed with the early succees of Its supporters, it de termined to make the return game with Tacoma a memorable one. Great Victory Over Tacoma. There have been many excursions which accompanied the representative team of the M. A. A. C., but none such as that first one. Two or three hundred rooters went over to Tacoma, and with their red and white umbrellas and four stalwart leaders marching In such fashion that the big letters on the red sweaters read "M. A, A. C," they paraded through the streets of Tacoma. With the team follow ing behind In a big carryall, they more than astonished staid, old Tacoma. With the beginning of the game Mult nomah started Its steady march to the enemy's goal, and when the game was ended with a score of 24 to 0 against the Taromae. Multnomah's formerly merely enthusiastic rootors became a howling, maniacal mob. If the Tacomaites were astonished before the game, they were moro than astonished with the sight of the rooters going back to the hotel yell ing with one voice: "What's tho score', 24. nothing more. That's the score." A pleasing finish to their victory oc curred that evening, when occupying the first row in the theater, the team had the pleasure of having tho great May Irwin sing especially and directly to them. It was in these early days, too, that the Multnomah yell was originated.. In 1691. Immediately after its organization, the t lub entered the regimental indoor ath letic tournament The club had at that time but one athlete Murray, a runner and he was entered in all speed events. In spite of their weak strength, the club boys turned out strong, -with the determi nation that if rooting would help Murray to win the clubhouse "would certainly be adorned with some trophies. Just bofor leaving the clubhouse for the Armory. Phil Ecstwick conceived the Idea that some sort of a yell was necessary, and immediately suggested the now-famous "Rah, rah, rah Rah, rah, rah. Rah, rah, rah, Multnomah i" This yell was practiced while going through the streets to the Armory, and it has always been asserted that it was solely due to the encouragement received from that yell that Murray did come out the winner in his events. ALBANY GETS MOST BASKETS Agricultural College Girls Defeated by Score of 18 to 13. ALBANY, Or., Feb. 25. (Special.) The Albany College girls basket-ball team won from tho Oregon Agricultural Col lege girls in a fast game in this city to night Tho final scoro was 18 to 13. Albany had the best of the game, but it was a hard-fought, exciting contest At the end of the first half tho score was Albany 10, O. A. C. 5, and in the second half each team scored eight points. The game was attended by the largest crowd ever present at a basket-ball game in this city. This was the second game in the series between these two teams for the championship of tho state for thte season. The first game was played MATCHED FOR TWENTY TOMMY BURNS, OF CHICAGO, AND JACK "TWIN" SULLIVAN, OF BOSTON. On of the most imporUtnt sporting events In the Northwest during the next few months will be the 20-round boxing contest between Tommy Burns, of Chi cago, and Jack "Twin" Sullivan, of Boston, which takes place at Tacoma on the night of March 7. Burnp, who has been training In this city for the past month, has a total of 21 battles to his credit out of a possible 31. Of this number several were draws, and It Is thought that he has an equal chance with Sulllv&n, as he has a decision over such men as Billy Woods and has fought "Philadelphia" Jack O'Brien a six-round draw. The interests of Burns are being looked after In the present tight by Larry McKcnna. a resident of Portland, and much of the credit for tho making of the present match Is due to his efTorts. Sullivan and Burns are to weigh In at 35S pounds at S o'clock on the after noon of the fleht, and the winner will be in a position to issue a challenge to any man of that weight In the world. in Corvallis last week, and was won by the Agricultural College by a score of 4 to 3. A third game will now be played to decide the championship, and as each team has now won on its own floor, the deciding game will be played on a neutral floor, probably in Portland.

MORE EASTERN ORDERS IN Offers Made to Holders at Better Than Current Rates Are Turned Down If England Begins to Buy, Prices Will Jump. There are symptoms of impiwcmcnt in the hop market. Eastern orders are said ' to be more numerous than at any time alnce the mlddlo of December, and though they havo not yet resulted in actual business, there ap pears to bo some pressure to buy and growera are correspondingly encouraged. Several deal ers havo been through the hop districts In tho past few days trying to buy hops at market quotations and above, but without success. Those growers who were disposed to cell when no offers were made naturally change their minds when buyers appear, which Is a pretty good indication of a demand for hops. The presence ot Eastern orders brought a lot of hopmen Into town yesterday and things be gan to look like old times at the Belvedere. The bulls and bears were equally well repre sented, but all the conference resulted In noth ing, so far as actual business was concerned. The growers cvldenUy havo tccnted something in the air and are tightening their grip on their goods. Among the visitor wan Jim Linn, of Catlin & Linn, of Salem, who had been around Woodburn trying to buy a car load of hops, but failed. George Doroas. rep resenting Thlllp Wolf & Co.. of Kan Fran cisco, came in from the territory around Aurora, where he bad been unablo to Induce any of the rarmers to let go. Most of the ofTcrs made In the past day or two have been around 25 and 231i cents, but pome of the dealers have raised their bids. Three firms of Brooks grower. Tcter and Homer Goulcnu. holding 600 bale: Massey & Buggies, with 100. and W. II. Eagan. with 100 bales, are reported to have refused 27 cents. They are among tho strongest holder In the state and might have been offered SO or even 32 cents with like results. Among th largo growers and holders in tho city yesterday were Isaac Plncus. of Tacoma, and Conrad Krebe, of Salem. Mr. Krebs is satisfied a turn has come In the tldo and that prices will now move upward. "The bottom has been reached." he Mid last night, "and hops are now going to advance. The brewers cannot hold out any longer and they are flooding the market with orders. AH tho growers have to do Is to stand firm and not sell and they will keep prices going up. Buyers here have got orders now at eeveral cents more than they are offering the growers. They are trying to mako big commissions, but they will soon have to come to time. And when they do commence to buy, prices will begin to Jump. It Is. absolutely Impossible to buy 700 bales In this state without paying firmer prices. The demand will force prices up and more than ever before have the grow ers got the key to the situation In their own hands. "There is a large short Interest for April and May delivery and the dealers arc trying to get In on the 25-cont market, but the time has gone by when they could get hops at that price. As their customers must have the hops for their Spring brewing, the supply will have to come from this state, where the growers will get whatever price they hold out for. "Another factor of importance In lifting the market Is the English situation. There are only 40.000 pockets of hops left In first hands In that country and 25.000 of them have gone Into the pool that was. formed a short time ago. English buyers are now cabling to this country requesting offers of Pacifies. Let the Englishmen onc start buying here and there Is no telling how high prices will go." HOrS NOT CLEAN PICKED. English Consumers Again Complain of Oregon Methods. TACOMA, Wash.. Feb. 24. (To the Editor.) We addressed a communication to you some time ago on the subject of poor picking- of the Oregon hops the lint season and quoted ex tracts of letter from one of the largest firms of factors In London, and since then we have had several further communications from Lon don on the same subject. For the benefit ot the Oregon hopgrowers we beg to repeat the valuable advice and sug gestions of one of the very largest houses In England, Messrs. Wood, Field & Hanbury. who are one of the principal buyers of Pacific Coast hops on the other side. This firm han dles every year large quantlUes of Oregon hops, and their suggestion, therefore. Is essen tially of the utmost Importance, and "we there fore unhesitatingly confirm their advice to the growers. The letter referred to is of date February 0 and reads substantially as follows: "We have to write you on a very Important matter as to the future trade here for Pacific Coast hops. We refer to the picking and packing of a large proportion of the Oregon crop this season in which a large quantity ot leaves, stems, and other extraneous matter could be found. There has been rapid de terioration In the quality of the Oregon hops on this account, and can say that as much as 10 per cent of extraneous matter has been found perhaps 5 per cent on an average, or probably more. "Our brewers in England object very much to this, and unless next year's crop Is much better picked and handled we can see that It will prejudice our buyers here against your Oregon hops. "We understand that the chief cause of this has been that a great many of the hops are contracted for In advance, at a fixed price and that consequently the growers have no Inter est In seeing that they are well picked. Should this system of picking and baling prevail In future seasons, the Oregon growers will doubt less find it Impossible to interest English buy ers In their product, and the objections named should -be made known to all parties con cerned In chls matter. We shall certainly in future refuse to accept any hops which are not more carefully picked. "We have had no cause to complain of Washington hops the past season, and unless the Oregon growers are more careful. Wash ington's will no doubt find preference with our brewers." The advice which we have quoted above is self-explanatory, hence we have nothing fur ther to add. Suffice It to say that It behooves every Individual hopgrower of Oregon to be guided by the suggestions named. Heretofore Oregon hops have always found favor with the English brewers, and often command higher prices than any other hop exported to that market, but unless the Oregon growers eliminate the leaves, stems and sweepings from their hops, the reputation of Oregon's hops In the London market will be greatly Im paired, and It stands your growers in hand to nurse the London business when It Is consid ered that without the support from England the past season our hops would not have been worth more than 10 15 cents.
