Hunt Club Riders Are Training
for June Races.
FINE STEEDS FOR MOUNTS
Special Features on Programme Con.
si&t of Two-Mile Race and Two
Mile Relay Race W hich W ill
Be Run by Quarters.
These are busy days in Hunt Club cir
cles. The annual Spring: meet is only
three weeks distant, and three weeks is
a very short time in which to get a
horse ready for a race. The general pub
lic has little knowledge of the amount of
care and work there is connected with
tills fascinating sport. Naturally most
of this centers about the horse. He
must be well cared for, properly dieted.
regularly worked and exercised, and in
short put In first-class condition to stand
the terrific strain to which he will be
subjected in a race. Moreover, training
for this one day's racing differs from
training for a season's racing. He must
be worked up gradually, and be right at
the top of condition on that day; other
wise he cannot do himself justice.
But the horse is not the only one that
needs training. The rider must also be
in form. It looks easy, this sitting upon
the bark of a high-mettled, steel-mewed,
etnneh-hearted thoroughbred, as he comes
striding like the wind down the stretch to
the wire. But It is far from being the
snap that it seems. To get him off right
at the post, to catch him in his stride
and keep him there, to keep him straight
and true, and to pace him in accordance
with the distance he has to run all this
requires, hardened arm, leg and back
muscles, a steady hand, a clear head, and
an unwavering nerve. :
These things the members of the Port
land Hunt Club are now at work on dally.
The horses are being conditioned at the
track and on the road, and the riders are
out morning and evening putting them
selves and their mounts in shape. As the
iM of June, the day set for the meet at
the Ifvlngton race track, draws nearer,
their interest Increases and their work
grows more and more systematic-
Eight Races This Year.
There will be eight races this year, and
everyone of them will be Worth going
miles to see. Many thoroughbreds have
been bought during the past year by mem-
bers of the club, among them being J.
H. Bennett and Stimy. by Mr. Davis;
John Boggs, by H. H. Hcrdman; Joe
Jewett and Oregon Sunshine, by Scott
Brooke; Our Choice, by B. B. Tongue;
Paul Jones, by B. M. Lazarus; Jane, by
R. H. Jenkins; Can't Tell, by Dr. Cogh
lan; Vlnce and Tom Fox, by Dr. Em
met Drake: Pat, by Miss Alnsworth. All
these speedy horses, in addition to those
already owned by members, such as Mor
engo, Bernato, Bob Crawford, Oregon Kid,
Mike Wisdom, Raclon. Bob Proudy. Call
Bond. Jim Budd, Will Wehrung. Bedad,
Sunday Mack, Mowitza. Paul, will be seen
contesting for the handsome cups offered
as prizes to the winners.
Besides the usual races which one sees
at a racing matinee, the Hunt Club al
ways has some special features. This year
these will consist of a two-mile race, the
greatest event on the programme, end a
two-mile relay race, run by quarters.
The two-mile race will be a battle royal.
Last year Morengo won this In 3:43, re
markable time with 186 pounds on his
back. But this year that game old horse
will have his work cut out for him if
he wins. Last year he had only two oth
ers to contend with; this year there will
he eight or nine. There will be, besides
Morengo, ridden by E. M. Lazarus. J. H.
Bennett, ridden by Charles Leadbetter:
Vlnce, ridden by. Mr. Chapman; Bob"
Proudy, ridden by V. S. Howard; Our
Choice, ridden by E. B. Tongue: Oregon
Sunshine, ridden by R. H. Jenkins: Bob
Crawford, ridden by Lou Leadbetter, and
Racivon. ridden by Fred W. Leadbetter.
A classy field that, and as gamy a lot of
racers as those In the Metropolitan han
dicap. The horse that wins will know he
has been In the race.
Two-Mile Relay Race.
The other special event Is a decided nov
elty. It consists of a two-mile relay
race, participated in by eight riders and
horses, divided into teams of four. Each
man rides a quarter of a mile and carries
a flag. At the end of the quarter he
passes the flag to a member of his team,
who carries It a quarter and passes It
on to the third man, who carries It a
quarter and passes It on to the fourth.
At. the end of each man's quarter he must
pull up and return to his starting point
and be prepared to repeat that quarter on
the second time round. No more exciting
anq thrilling race could possibly be de
vised, and none more replete with the ele
ment of luck, A great deal of practice
and, training will be necessary to carry
it out successfully. The two teams are
already at work practicing the difficult
feat, of picking each other up and passing
the flag.
' In addition to these, there will be a
three-eighths dash, a seven furlongs race.
mile run. a five-furlongs sprint, a quarter-mile
dash for riders weighing 200
pounds, and a three-eighths pony race for
boys under 18 yeara.

PORTLAND ACADEMY WINS
BEATS COLUMBIA I'SUVERSITY BY
A SINGLE RUN.
Academy Boys at the Head of the
League In the Iaterscholastlc
Baseball Series.
For 15 innings the lads of Columbia
tfnlversity and Portland Academybat
tled for- supremacy on the baseball
diamond at Multnomah Field yesterday
morning, in a game which finally went
to the-Academy contingent by - the
score of 5 to 4. '
It was undoubtedly the finest game
of the" ihterscholastlc ' league" "series.
Columbia desired to win for the reason
that victory would have placed the
purple and white defenders In the lead
in the race for the pennant, while the
success of the Tigers places that club
at the head for a time at . least, and
gives them a clean score of victories,
as they have not yet been defeated.
Columbia started out like -a winner,
and by taking advantage of the Acad
emy errors during the early innings,
tallied up four runs.
By steady up-hill work the Tigers
rallied to the call of their friends, and
managed to tie the score in the eighth.
Victory came to" the leaders by virtue
of a couple of misplays, and a hit by
Reed, who scored the winning run.
Clark Moore, for Columbia, pitched
a splendid game, but was unfortunate
in the errors scored behind him, wheif
opponents were on the bases. The
work: of Troy Myers. Houston, Clark
and Otto Moore -and Albright was the
feature in the fielding line.

In a Sensational Match
With Schaefer. -
CHICAGO, May 12. Willie Hoppe,
the boy billiard expert, wot the first
prize in the professional tournament,
which was finished tonight in Orches
tra Hall. Hoppe went'through his four
games without a single defeat. George
Sutton, the Canadian champion, cap
tured second place, having three vic
tories to his credit and one defeat. The
other three players, George Slosson,
who won the championship In the re
cent tournament In New York; Louis
Cure, the French champion, and Jake
Schaefer finished with a triple tie, each

Sutton scored the highest total aver
age for this . tournament 29 15-19.
Hoppe, who broke the world's record
for high run at 18-inch billiards, two in
balk, in his game with Schaefer last
night, had the second best grand aver
age 27 6-72.
Sensational Wlnd-Vp.
After a rather listless game this af
ternoon between Hoppe and Slosson,
which the youngster won, the tourna
ment wound up tonight with one of
the most sensational matches of the
entire series. The .contestants were.
Sutton "and Schaefer, and Sutton won
with seven innings by the seore of
iOO to 143. " .
In the fifth ' inning "Schaefer just
lacked S points of being 50 ahead of his
opponent,' He had completed the period
with a run of 104, and looked -at that
time to be the winner of the match.
Sutton scored a 10 in his fifth trial, and
Schaefer followed with a cipher, ...
The Canadian then ran 236 points of
as pretty billiards as were ever seen.
His 237th shot was a difficult masse,
which he missed by a fraction of an
Inch. This big run put him nearly 200
points ahead of Schaefer, who got 4 and
missed, and that was hts last chance, as
Sutton came back with a run of 172 and
finished the game. Sutton's average was
713-7; Sehaefer's 20 3-7.
. Listless Game In Afternoon.
The game played in the afternoon.
which gave Hoppe first prize, required 21
innings for its completion, the final score
-being: Hoppe 600, Slosson 171. The game
in itself was an indifferent exhibition, and
only once was a run of three figures. hung
up. that being In the-first inning, when
Hoppe. gathered together 118. Slosson
was clearly out of form, and KTs average
was the lowest yet made in the contest.
After the first Inning the result of the
game was never in doubt. Slosson's
stroke was bad, and he was unable to
get the balls in position: being compelled
frequently to play open table shots. He
also left the Ivories in hard positions
for the youth, who recorded six blanks
during the game. In the fourth trial
Hoppe counted 89 and in the eighth he
made a run of 70, which gave him a
lead of 150. . , ,
Rapidly Increases His Lead.
He rapidly increased his lead over the
champion. who, after the eighth inning
did not make a ' double score with one
exception, when he collected 28. The
score:
Hoppe, 500; high run, 118; average,
117-21.
Slosson, 171; high run. 34: average. 8 3-21.
The purse was J2500; S1000 to the winner.
$750 to second, 1500 to third and $250 to
the man finishing fourth. Hoppe won
four games and lost none; Sutton won
three games and lost one, while Cure,
Slosson and Schaeffer each lost three
games and won one. They will split the

8000 people paid admission here tonight to
Madison Square Garden to see a num
ber of well-known pritering experts con
test in limited round bouts for the bene
fit of the San Francisco relief fund. Chief
interest centered in the appearance of
Robert Fitzslmmons and Kid McCoy, who
burlesqued for three rounds with Jim
Corbett as referee. The men were an

ran over to Fitz's. corner and grabbed
him by the arms. Then they fell on the

fight, from which Corbett pulled them to
their feet.

more than lightly tap the other. At the
final bell they got into a. burlesque
wrangle with the referee, who threw Mc
Coy to the floor. Then Fitzslmmons
grabbed Corbett around the waist smd put
him down, falling on top of him.

of peppery work. Both were hog fat, how
ever.

What is more interesting: to think or talk about than
GREATER PORTLAND, MADE IN OREGON AND VER
NON ? Portland will be greater, and that very soon ; there
is nothing better in the world than Oregon-Made goods, and
there are going to be great factories built in Greater Portland
to manufacture Oregon products into Oregon-Made goods.
Then why, not buy property ; in Portland - while you can
get it cheap' and on easy terms ? There is no better invest
ment in this country than to buy a few lots in Vernon.
If you can pay cash it is a good investment, but if you don't
have the cash, buy on time, pay. 5 per cent down and 2lz
per cent per month. You cannot miss it either way, as we
are advancing the price on this property 5 and 10 per cent the
first of each month. We can advance it 25 per cent and it
will not be as high as other property in the city no better.
It is our intention to sell 200 lots more and then take the
tract from- the market, so don't wait until it is too late.

JUDGE MCREDIE ON THE BASE
BALL SITUATION.
He aad Agnew Have Gone to Oakland
to Attend the Meeting
In That City.
Judge W. W. McCredie, of the Port
land baseball club, and James P. Ag
new, of the Seattle club, of the Pacific
Coast League,, left last, evening for
Oakland, where they are to attend the
league meeting Monday, which is to
determine the future of the organiza
tion. -
Agnew is going to the meeting with
the intention of supporting the other
clubs if they vote to sustain the pres
ent circuit, but it is also his intention
to broach the subject of discontinu
ing the present season for one year,
and to permit of the northern clubs af
filiating with the Northwest League.
This idea seems to be the right thing
to do according to the Seattle man's
view, but he emphatically states that
he will stay by the league if It votes
to continue. ,
With four clubs desiring to keep' in
the going and the Intention of the Se
attle man to vote with the majority, it
seems assured that the league will not
disband.
Before leaving McCredie said: "I am
confident that we shall come out all
right, and furthermore I anticipate
that the regular schedule will be re
sumed next wecki except as far as the
games slated for San Francisco are
concerned. 1 believe that following
next week's scries with Oakland on
the local diamond, Los Angeles will
come north, and San Francisco go to
Fresno or Los Angeles and meet-Fisher's
men for a series of two weeksi
Portland Is scheduled at home after
next week, although, according to the
original schedule Portland should go
to Seattle Tuesday, but instead it will
play at home for the next six weeks.
Seattle will do likewise at Seattle, and
in a short time I believe they will be
playing at Oakland."
McCredie has letters from Cal Ewlng
and B. W. Walters thanking him for
the stand he has taken in support of
the, southern clubs, and assuring him
of their intention to hold the league
Intact for the season. -
Judge McCredie says that Jud Smith
should join the team in a few days, as
the big third baseman is expected to
be on hand for the coming series with
Oakland, - . , . ,
HOBSON'S GREAT NAVY. FAD
Hero of Merrlmac Going to Congress
After Two Billions.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington. May 12. Alabama will send to
the next Congress a man who will at
tract wide attention, one who is already
known from one end of the country to
the other. Captain . Richmond - Pearson
Hobson, of Merrlmac fame, but the noto
riety is all that -Alabama will get out
of it. Captain Hobson is not the kind
of man to make good in Congress. He
is a man with a hobby; he la a man of
unbounded conceit, a man who knows
not modesty, and one who will endeavor
to Jump into the front rank at the very
outset of his Congressional career. Such
men don't get far In Congress.
Hobson's fad is a big navy, and he
would have a navy far bigger than that
of any other Nation in the world: oh
this subject he far outdistances the Pres
ident, who is today more enthusiastic
over a big navy than any man in Con

gress. Hobson wants an appropriation of
32,000,000,000 for building new warships,
and he wants it immediately. He made
his campaign In Alabama on this issue
and told the people that, if they would
elect him to Congress, he would get the
appropriation.. It is a gigantic under
taking for any man; it is doubly great
for a new member of Congress.
Of course Hobson's efforts will fail, for
if President Roosevelt, with all his in
fluence, is unable to induce Congress to
make even a modest Increase in the navy,
it is a dead sure thing that Hobson won't
be ableto accomplish anything. How
ever, he coming here on that platform,
the promise having been given, and, like
every other man with a hobby, Hobson
will be sufficiently squelched. Think of a
new Congressman and a member of the.
minority party at that dipping 12,000,000.000
out of the Federal Treasury at a single
gralf, when the Judgment of the old and
experienced leaders is against anything
like such an appropriation.
WANT TO DRAIN SWAMPS
Southern Members Propose Raid on
Reclamation Fund.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, May 12. The expected has hap
pened: The Southern States are follow
ing the example set by Senator Hans
brough. of North Dako(a, and are clam
oring for a portion of the National rec-'
lamation fund for draining the swamps of
their region. Florida wants a large slice
of the reclamation fund to reclaim the
boundless Everglades, and Representative
Slemp, of Virginia, has Introduced a bill
setting apart J2.000.000 out of the reclama
tion fund to drain the famous Dismal
Swamp. It Is but natural that the South
ern States, should ask "for a share of the
reclamation fund for this purpose, in the
light of the action taken by Mr. Hans
brough. but, if once they get their hand
in by means of special acts of Congress,
It will not be-long before the reclamation
fund, instead of bejng used to irrigate the
arid lands of the West, will be expended
almost entirely in draining the swamp
lands of the East and South.
The injustice of the dtverslon of money
from the reclamation fund to drain
swamp lands Is emphasized in the c83e of
the Dismal 8wamp. Mr. Slemp proposes
to give his state the benefit of 2,000,000
out of this fund, yet Virginia has never
contributed a single cent to the fund and
never will. Of course. North Dakota
has contributed to the fund, heavily, in
deed, but Mr. Hansbrough proposes to
take 21,000.000 out of this fund to drain
private swamp land not public land so
his bill is as unfair and unjust to the
arid West as is the Dismal Swamp bill of
Mr. Slemp.
This practice of making onslaughts on
the reclamation fund through special leg
islation is dangerous, and. once the prece
dent is established, nobody knows where
it will stop. It ls up to Western men in
Congress to protect the reclamatin fund
from all such attacks as this.
