ATHLETES HOLD '
I! HI COLLEGES
Runners and Jumpers Attract
More Interest Than Knights
of the Diamond.
OREGON VS. CORVALLIS
Keen ltlvalry Will Be Shown in
Friday's Meet Triangular and
Intercollegiate Contests
Also In Prospect.
Outdoor athletics are In full swing In
the colleges, and schools of the Northwest,
and the present season promises to be one
of the best on record. Baseball Is dividing"
honors with track athletics in nearly all
the educational Institutions, but interest
seems to center upon the runners and
Jumpers rather than upon the knights of
the diamond. Several preliminary meets
have been held, and while no records have
been broken, there has been some fine
sport. At the recent Indoor meet a Co
lumbia University the 220-yard race be
tween mtthson. of the Oregon Agricul
tural College, and Kelty, of the University
of Oregon, was one of the closest , and
fanteiit sprints ever, seen in' this city.
Kelly won by a close margin, but he de
feated a worthy foe. From the records
made at the Columbia "meet, it is evident
that there will be some strenuous com
petition when Oregon and Corvallls meet
at Eugene next Friday.
Although Oregon has not defeated the
Agriculturalists in a single outdoor meet
since 1903. students of the state varsity
believe that the tables will be turned next
Friday. Corvallis had a wonderfully
strong team lost year, but a number of
the men that made the 1906 aggregation
Invincible have left college. Dow Walker,
the big hammer-thrower, is among the
absent ones, as are Merrill Moores. the
Jumper, and Stout, the champion discus
thrower. The most serious loss, however.
Is that of Floyd Williams, captain of last
pear's team, and the best 440-yard man
In the West. Williams and Smlthson made
a great team In the sprints, but the fleet
footed Portland lad will have to go it
ilone this season.. Despite all theBe losses,
the Agricultural College still has the
nucleus of a strong team, and those who
know "Dad" Trine say that he will take,
a fast bunch to Eugene, and that Hay
ward's lads will have to work like Tro
jans if they expect to win the meet. De
spite his recent defeat by Kelly, Smlthson
?an probably .win more points in the
prints and hurdles than any man in the
Northwest, and it is known that Qreen
haw is a very fast man in the 440 and
WO-yard runs'. Dovolt and Goodrich are
corking good men In the mile run. while
Swan la looking after the jumps and vault.
In the weight events, where the Agricul
turists have hitherto been reported as
weak, Dunlap and Tyler are showing up
well, although they are hardly " in the
lanw class with Hug and McKinney, of
the university team. Altogether, the Cor
vallls team Is well balanced and shows
marked superiority over Eugene in the
long runs. - -
Trainer Hayward's Men.
At the University of Oregon Trainer
Hayward has a fine lot of men at
work, and although reports from Eu
gene are meager, it is 'said that the
team b much stronger than it was at
the Columbia meet. Dnn. Kelly Is un
doubtedly the best all-around man
that ever wore the colors -Of the State
University. He is good for almost 23
feet In the broad Jump, and for i feet
8 Inches in the high jump. Besides
this he Is a crack sprinter and hurdler.
Frlesell Is a good broad Jumper, and
Is regarded as a point winner in sev
eral events. Moores is another one of
Hayward's reliable athletes, his spe
cialties being the hurdle events. Moul
len Is regarded as a sure man In the
vault, and his contest with ; Swan
promises to be interesting. Oregon's
chief strength lies 1n the- weight
events, but the team was miserably
weak In the distance runs at the Co
lumbia meet. Those who keep in
formed on track athletics are of the
opinion that Oregon and Corvallla are
the strongest teams in the field this
year, and that the winners pf next Sat
urday's meet will be champions of the
Northwest when the season closes.
Several Important meets besides that
of next Friday will be pulled off be
fore the season ends. On the -same
lay the Washington State College ath
letes will hold their annual meet with
the University of Idaho, and on May
B6 the Corvullis aggregation will meet
the Washington State College on Rog
ers fleln. at Pullman. The Oregon
"Aggies" should win this meet hand
ily, but the Pullmnn-Idnho contest
gives every promise of being close.
The biggest surprise of the season
thus far was Whitman's recent vic
tory over Pullman. The score was 61
to ."9. and the victory was the first
thnt tne Missionaries had ever scored
over their old rivals. In Cox and Phil
brook, Whitman has two clever all
around athletes, the two having won
11 points in the recent meet. The
Pullman team has no particular stars,
hut hns good men in every event. A'
the University of Idaho the track
athletes are working under the dlrec
'.loii of Charles Vanderveer, formerly
trainer at the University of Washing
ton. Vanderveer Is an old hand at the
game, and he is turning out some
good men. Fawcct. the Idaho sprinter,
ran do good time in the dashes, while
Bdniunson and Matthews are winners
In the long runs. Kdmunson la the
man who defeated Oreenhaw. of Ore
gon Agricultural College, In the half
mllo run at the Lewis and Clark Fair
games Inst year. Horton is doing the
hurdling for Idaho, and there are
plenty of good men In the weights and
jumps.
Triangular Sleet In Seattle.
The most Important athletic event
-hediiled for the present season is the
"triangular" league meet. In which
:he state universities of Oregon,
Washington and Idaho will participate.
This event will come off on June 2 at
Seattle. and Its outcome will be
ivatched with Interest throughout the
entire Northwest. It Is thought that
Oregon is strong enough to defeat
either Washington or Idaho by a good
eore in a dual meet, lut what effect
:he three-cornered arrangement will
'.iave on the Eugene men is hard to
predict. Washington has a stronger
team than last season, and Captain
Rex Smith and Coach "Win" Cutter
nope to wipe out the memory of last
season's defeat at the hands of Ore
ion. Smith is a great athlete, prob
ably the best that ever represented
Washington. He has done 22 feet t
itches In the broad Jump. S feet 10H
nches In the high Jump, 10 seconds in
ihe 100-yard dash. 22 2-5 in the 220,
nd 53 in the 440. Upon hla ability to
jefeat Kelly In a majority of these
fvents depend Washington's chances
f winning on June 2. Smith is not the
nly good man on the Washington
:eam. Parker and Watson, two new
nen. are showing up spiendtdlv in the
middle distances, while MeC'rary is
running the mile with his accustomed
speed. In the weight events Jarvls
and Reeser are assisting McDonald,
while Harrison is clearing II feet in
the vault. Washington Is strong on
seconds and thirds, has a fast relay
team, but is weak in the hurdles. Ore
gon's weakness in the long runs will
not impair her chance of winning;, for
these points will undoubtedly go to
Idaho, while the real contest -of the
day will be between Oregon and Wash
ington. . .
Varsities to Contest at Salem.
Following- the Seattle contest comes the
big intercollegiate meet at Salem. This
promises to be more Interesting than last
season, for Oregon and Corvallla are close
ly matched and the points that Pacific
and Willamette will wrn may determine
the outcome. The winner of next Friday's
meet at Eugene may not be the victor at
Salem, for condition are likely to change
materially In three weeks, and the ath
letes from Salem and Forest Grove may
prove serious factors in determining the
result. Peterson and Keltcher, the middle-distance
men from Pacific, are re
garded -as sure point-winners, as Is
Forbes, of Willamette. ; Lounsbury, An
other Salem lad, is a splendid all-around
athlete. He can put the shot beyond the
39-foot mark and can clear the bar at 5
feet 9 Inches in the high Jump. In the
Salem meet points count 6, 3, I and 1 In
order of finish, while in the dual meets
they count 5, S and 1, only three places
being- counted. Out of seven Intercolle
giate meets the University of Oregon has
won five and the Agricultural College two.
Last season's score was Corvallis, 82;
Oregon. 46: Pacific, 17; Willamette, 4.
Northwest Intercollegiate records for
track and field events are as follows:
100-yard dash Pearson (U. of W.) and
Smlthson (O. A. C): time, 10 seconds. '
220-yard dash Pearson tU. of W.);
time, 321-6 seconds. -
440-yard run Williams (O. -A. C); time,
60 3-5 seconds.
SSO-yard run Edmunson (U. of I.); time.
2:00 1-5.
Mile run Merritt (Whitman); time, 4i32.
Two-mile run Gates (Pacific); time,
10:26 2-5. '.'.
Mile relay O'. A. C: time. 8:30 1-5.
120-yard hurdle Heater (U. of O.); time,
16 seconds.
220-yard hurdle Coates (Albany); time,
25 4-5 seconds.
Pole-vault Gilbert (Pacific); height, 11
feet 7 inches.
Broad Jump Kelly (Columbia); distance,
22 feet 94 Inches.
' High jump Grant (U. of W.); height,
6 feet one-half inch. -'
Shot put McDonald (tj. of W.); 12 feet
3H inches.
Hammer-throw McDonald (t. of W.):
H3 feet 10 Inches. -
Discus throw Gardner (U. of W.); J15
feet 1 inch..
Better records than these have been made
at the Intercollegiate meets at Salem, but
they cannot be - counted,- as the Salem
track is not 4 regulation track. .
LEAGVES GIVE AID.
Baseball Clubs Contribute to the Re-
.. . lief Fund.
It is extremely gratifying to report
that, as usual, our baseball friends have
risen grandly to a great emergency. As
contributors to the San Francisco relief
funds, the various baseball clubs and the
two major leagues have excelled In the
number of benefit games played and
amounts realized all other sporting bene
fitsprobably also exceeding to date
even the theatrical benefits. It Is safe to
say that the various major league benefit
games. Including a National League 11000
donation, will exceed 110,000 in cash; and
the end Is not yet. - -
This is splendid. Indeed, and eminently
befitting the magnates .of the two major
leagues of National scope and impor
tance. But even more to be commended
is the call of President .Powers, of the
National Association, for ! contributions
from all leagues of that organization for
the Immediate reltef and future suste
nance of the Pacific Coast League. Inas
much as "charity begins at home," it Is
the first duty of the National Associa
tion at large to concentrate its effort to
succor its own baseball kith and kin, in
stead of wasting effort and means by In
discriminate charity In which our Cali
fornia baseball proteges may be lost
sight of altogether." '
Sporting Life's suggestlbn Is that all
National Association donations and bene
fit game proceeds be pooled- for the ex
press and single purpose of maintaining
the Pacific Coast League as a-body and
relieving the .immediate needs, of all in
dividual players in any way affected by
the great catastrophe. , That done; such
funds as remain may be turned over to
the general reltef fund. The Paclfre Coast
League Is such an Important member of
the National Association that Its clubs
should be protected, and its teams pre
served intact, even to the point of .carry
ing them all and paying the players In
full, even though not-another game be
played this season; and, particularly
should the completely wrecked San Fran
cisco club be promptly placed upon Its
feet again.
Such a course would reflect great, creait
upon the National Association' and en
hance its reputation ror sagacity ana re
sourcefulness. It would also confer the
most direct benefit where It Is most nr.
gently needed, and preserve to the par
ent body a most valuable member.
Finally and here Is where we emphasise
It would give the entire baseball world
the most striking and Impressive lesson
of the need and value of "organized ball"
yet afforded In the entire history of the
National game. No such opportunity for
the National Association to assert Itself
grandly and broadly could have been
made to order, and failure to take full
advantage of it would be , so utterly
fatuous as to be unbelievable. The Na
tional Association mnst not and will not
lose this golden opportunity to demon
strate Us great value, . wisdom and
strength. Francis C. Rlchter In an edi

Peirce Explains About Mc
Wade's Tiger-Skin.
WAS PACKED IN HIS TRUNK
Investigator or Consuls Answers At
tack or Canton orflolal Senator
, ; .'.-r. Penrose Ref need to Shield
"i't-" the Corruptlonlst.
"WASHINGTON, May 12. The Pelrce
McWade controversy Involving charges
and counter-charges regarding Robert
McWade's administration as Consul-General
at Canton, China, was the subject
of a two hours' hearing today before the
House committee on foreign affairs. Mr.
Peirce was heard behind closed doors and
no record was taken of his testimony. '
The acceptance of a $500 tiger-skin rug
by Mr. Peirce as a gift from Mr. McWade
was explained by the former, who said
that the rug wrts practica)ly forced upon
him by being packed In his effects by
Mr. McWade and shipped to the United
Btates without his knowledge. Mr. Peirce
said that after he had twice declined to
accept the tiger skin, Mr. McWade asked
him to accept a pet of teakwood furniture,
which he declined, saying:
"You should understand, Mr. McWade,
that I cannot accept anything from you. '
Forget About Tlgrer-Skin.
"When I discovered," said Mr. Peirce,
"that he fMcWade) had unwarrantedly
had the tiger akin In question packed
with my effects I did not know where to
send It. Doubtless prudence should have
suggested my packing the skin in a box
marked with his name on the outside and
storing it at the State Department for
him. but I was greatly occupied with the
preparation of my formal report, with
picking up the threads of departmental
duties and the matter passed out of my
mind. My report shows for Itself, how
ever, whether or not I was Influenced by
this attempt to embarrass the perform
ance of my duties."
Taking ud Mr. McWade's charge that
he had dictated a telegram for Mr. Mc
Wade to send to Senator Penrose, Mr.
Peirce said:
McWade's Statement False.
"He accuses me of double-dealing, say
lhe that I told him he was entirely ex
onerated and that I dictated a telegram
to Senator Penrose to that effect. This
is unqualifiedly and absolutely false In
every particular."
Mr. Peirce then submitted some tele
graphic correspondence which he had with
the State Department Immediately subse
quent to hla Inspection of the Canton
Consulate, written In cipher, in which he
said:
"Canton conditions are indescribable,"
and asked for authority to suspend Mc
Wade and discharge his clerk; Silva.
Secretary, Hay refused to grant such
authority and cautioned Mr. Peirce to
maintain the utmost reserve In his work
and that no publication referring to it
should be made. Replying to this, Mr.
Peirce said:
"It Is clear the Cbnsul-Oenetal at Can
ton Is guilty of corruption."
Ta Comfort From Penrose.
' Commenting further on Mr. McWade's
charge that Mr. Penrose had a hearing
for him, Mr.' Peirce produced a copy of a
letter from Mr. Penrose to the President,
written September 8, 1904, in which he
said:
"Of course, remove McWade if he has
been found incompetent or unworthy."
Mr. McWade eve the committee during
his hearing a letter which said that not
one nprtght, reputable man could be
found who did not speak in the highest
terms of him. Answering this, Mr. Peirce
submitted letters derogatory to Mr. Mc
Wade from Olfford Pinchot, chief of the
Bureau ot Forestry of the Department of
Agriculture; Admiral R. D. Evans. Sec
retary Taft, Lieutenant-Commander W.
8. Sims and Lieutenant B. E. Pope of

MAJORITY FAVORS SKA-LEVEL
earmark's Return Will Decide Ques
tion of Canal Type.
WASHINGTON, May It The Senate
committee on lnter-oeeanle canals Is In
a deadlock on the question of the type
of canal to be recommended. The ques
tion was taken up today and the vote
showed five for a sea-level canal and five
for the lock type, recommended by the
minority of the board of consulting en
gineers. . There were two absentees. Senators Gor
man and Carmack. The latter tele
graphed from. Tennessee, instructing the
chairman to count his vote for the sea
level type, which would have made a ma
jority against the lock canal desired by
the Administration. After wrangling for
an hour over tha question of accepting
the vote of Senator Carmack, the com
mittee adjourned until Wednesday next.
The vote was as follows:
For sea level Klttredge. Piatt, An
keny, Morgan and Taliaferro.
For lock type Millard. Hopkins,
Dryden, Knox and Simmons.
if Senator Carmack should return
to Washington before the meeting
Wednesday undoubtedly the decision
of the committee will be in favor of
a sea-level canal.

. AUTO'S MERRY HONK.
It Is Heard at All Hours on Port
land's Streets. v
The automobile season is oj and the
merry honk-honk of the Gabriel and small
horn can be heard at ail hours of the day
or night, for the pilots of the silent steed
less carriages .take "as much pleasure, if
not more, in driving their vemeles after
dusk as they do In the light of day. The
weather has been Ideal for the enjoyment
of this sport, and the local enthusiasts
have availed themselves of every oppor
tunity of spinning on the roads adjacent
to the city. ' "
The most active of the lover's of the auto
are the members of the Portland Automo
bile Club, which organtxatlon has planned
a series of runs to be held under Its aus
pices during the Summer, and as a start
er the club began this Beries last Sunday
with a successful run to HUlsboro and
Forest Grove.
This Innovation is in line with the pol
icy mapped out by the club about a
year ago. for the aim of the autoists is
to educate its membership into the beau
ties of the territory surrounding Portland,
and with a run to some convenient spot
scheduled for ever' other Sunday or often
er as the occasion demands, they antici
pate that the liveliest of Interest will be
displayed by all connected with the club.
Carload after carload of automobiles are
arriving In Portland each week, and these
latest up-to-date machines are finding a
ready demand in the local market. Of
course some few of the machines are be
ing disposed of in the Valley, but the
majority of the vehicles find their pur
chasers in this city, and the number of
new machines to be seen on the streets
these days Is most gratifying to the deal
ers a well as to the members of the Au
tomobile Club, for In the case of the for
mer It means added business and to the
latter an Increased membership, which
meana greater and better things in the
work of improving the thoroughfares in
the vicinity of the city as well as In other
parts of the state, for every new member
of the club immediately oeeomes an aavo
cate of the good roads movement, which
is the battle cry of the organization.
The success acquired .in the matter of
improving some of the roads in Multno
mah County In the past by concerted eN
fort on the part of autoists has had the
effect of stimulating new life into the
good roads movement, for-in this, work
the Automobile Club hag the well-wishes
and hearty support of all citizens, wheth
er bwners of automobiles or not.
' The coming Summer promises to
bring a large number of tourists to the
Northwest, and in order to show the
visitor the grandeur of its scenic won
ders It Is essential to have good thor
oughfares extending to the several
garden spots within easy access of
Portland, for nothing lessens the at
tractiveness of a pleasure jaunt more
than the jolting of a conveyance over
rough and unimproved country roads.
With a practically level country ex
tending for miles on either side of the
Willamette River, the advantages of
fered for long trips are excellent, and
the most active members of the Au
tomobile Club have signified their in
tention of promoting frequent excur
sions to different locations within a
day's run of Portland. These trips
will be made biweekly, or oftener,
should the club desire It, and the itin
erary -of each excursion - will be ar
ranged by a committee appointed for
that purpose. The club has decided to
take a photographer on each trip, as
It is the desire of the organization to
maintain a diary together with views
of each, excursion.
Among the places to be visited in the
near future are Mount Hood, Mount St.
Helens, Salem. Albany, Estacada and
adjacent territory, Vanoouver and
Camas Prairie, Oregon City, with the
return trip on -the west side of the.
river, and several other regions of In
terest In the near-by counties of Ore
gon and Washington.
Next Sunday the Portland Automo
bile Club will give Its second run of
the season, and at least 22 machines
will be represented at this excursion.
which is three times as many as went
last Sunday. Tha trip ia to be made
to Revenue s, for the purpose of dia
playing the excellence of the road to
that place, which is 28 miles from
Portland. Arrangement for the serv
ing of dinner has already been made
by secretary Will Upman, and the en
tire party will enjoy luncheon at Sandy
about I o clock in the afternoon.
The road to Mount Hood is to be im
proved for the entire distance to the
Snow line, which task is expected to be
completed during the next aix weeks,
and the moat active workers in the In
terest of this Improvement ia the Au
tomobile Club, and when the work Is
accomplished there will be a runway
that will be a pride and delight, for
nothing surpasses the grandeur of a
trip to old Mount Hood.
Several members of the Auto Club
are planning to take a preliminary
spin over the course for the purpose
or mapping out the route of the party,
and ti distribute signs along the road
for the guidance of those who have
not been over the road before.
All automobillsts, whether members

A New Thrush.
Pall Mall Gasette.
What hi supposed to be the first and
only recorded instance of the dusky
thrush (Turdus dublus). a native of
Asia. Is reported from Gunthorpe. In Not
tinghamshire. The bird closely resem
bles the fieldfare In point of size, and its
note Is also somewhat similar, though
sharper and louder. In Europe the dusky
thrush Is of rare occurrence, having only
been noted occasionally in Italy, TCorway,
Belgium and Germany, and its appear
ance In the British Isles Is doubtless due
to Its having been taken out of its usua
haunts by a succession of adverse winds
which have brought It many miles to the

bird is found In most countries of Asia,
and at certain seasons traverses the
greater, part of that continent.

Decision Is Hastened by England's
Naval Preparations Fleet Will

LONDON. May 12. In a manner char
acteristic of Turkish diplomacy the Porte
has made an llth-hour surrender to the
British demand concerning the Tabah
boundary. It has been believed in many
quarters that the Sultan would not yield
until actual force was displayed, but hiB
decision probably was hastened by the
knowledge that none of the powers sup
ported his attitude and the combined fact
that British naval preparations had kept
pace with her diplomatic demand.

CUSHMAN MAKES GOOD HIT

ington, May 12. It has been two years
since Representative Cushman enter
tained the House with one of his humor
ous speeches, and it goes without say
ing that his recent tariff speech was well
received, vigorously applauded and fre
quently interrupted with laughter and
applause not -the kind that is injected
by a member when he : comes to revise
his speech for the Congressional Kecora,
but the real thing.
Cushman choBe a particularly oppor
tune time to speak; he followed John
Sharp Williams, the Democratic leader,
who for two days advocated revision of
the tariff in line with the prevailing Dem
ocratic idea. Naturally Cushman had
fun with Williams.
Cushman took a fall out of Charley
Towne, the silver-tongued orator, now of
Tammany Hall. Towne had several
times helped out Williams in his speech.
I recall." said Cushman, "that only a
few years ago Mr. Towne occupied a seat
on this side of the House and was one
of the ardent champions of a protective
tariff. He left the party on the money
issue, but has embraced all their heresies.
Including free trade. But I must say l
am fond of hearing Mr. Towne speak. He
is a magnificent orator. Ana ins voice
ah, sir. that is the superb and particular
gift of his that has fairly oriven me to

less in quality. I have often wondered
how the human voice could be cultivated
to that point of admirable perfection. The
only conclusion I could reach was that
the use of one single voice in speaking
for all political parties and on all sides
of all questions has tended to cultivate
It to a point of perfection that the more
modest of us can never nope to attain.
