14 TIIE SUNDAY OKEGOJflAIf, PORTLAND, SEFTEMBEK 9, 15W8. SEATTLE LIKELY TO QUIT LEAGUE Management of Affairs1 Does Not Please Backers of the Puget Sound Club. TEAM MAY NOT GO SOUTH Belief Expressed That Xot a Cent or llic $1500 Put Vp by Each Club Remains in the Treasury. Cr ATTT.tJt TX7aai Rent S ( Hner.iflXV- There Is a strong- probability that the Seattle team will not finish the season in the Faclflo Coast League. Unless the demands of the Seattle magnates are complied -with before the season ends in feeattle, two weeks from today, the Seat tle men will chuck up the whole thing and refuse to send the Seattle team to California to finish the aeason. This is no Idle bluff. The Seattle mag nates are diBgusted with the way the league affairs have been conducted and unless a satisfactory showing is made within the next two weeks the members of the Seattle team will be paid off and the California trip will be abandoned. After the fire in San Francisco a $5000 fund is said to have heen raised in the Kast to help the Coast League. Not a cent of this money has been sent to the Seattle club. More than a month ago the Seattle men wrote to the treasurer of the league, Cal Ewlng, asking for some in formation on this subject. The request was ignored. - Tho Seattle men realize, of course, that by refusing to play out the schedule they will forfeit the M500 they have in the guarantee fund. That fact does not worry them, for they are firmly convinced that there is no money in the fund, and that they could not get it back even if they played the neason out. There should be JHOOO in the fund, $1000 for each of the six teams. This with the $5000 received from the Eastern Leagues makes $14,000. The Seattle men firmly believe that all this money has been' dissipated, mostly in financing the Los Angeles team, and that there Is not now any money in the treasury. At any rate, their many re quests for a statement from the treasurer of the league have been ignored and no attention has been paid to Seattle. It would cost the Seattle men $3000 to send the team to California for the six weeks to finish the season. ' Two weeks of that time is scheduled for Fresno. For the last two months no umpires have been sent to Seattle. The league is sup posed to pay its umpires, yet for two months the Seattle team has had to hire men to do the work and pay them. Seattle has been in the Coast League four years. The president of the league has been here Just once in that time, and be was up this way on a pleasure trip then. This town has pimply not rated In league affairs at any time, and the back ers of the club are heartily tired of such treatment. Vheu Jim Morley pulled out of the Los Angeles club, baseball affairs in that town were in bad shape. Ever since the earthquake Eugene Bert, president, and Cal Ewing, treasurer, have spent most of their time, when not engaged in politics, in forming a company to take over the club tnere. They have been since April working on the matter and only last week perfected the organization ofa stock com pany. The Seattle men suspect that most of the money that should now be in the league treasury went to pay the expenses of the Los Angeles team and the organ ization of a new company. Cal Ewing owns the Oakland and Frisco teams, and it is believed here that he owns a big block of the stock in the Los Angeles team. If this is true, there are six teams in the league, and Ca Ewing, the treas urer, owns an interest in three of them. COCKED HUT'S DM OVER TESKI.X (.AMIS WILL TAKE ITS PLACE. run land Bow lers Organize Association to Promote Sport Plana to Hold Tournament. The Portland Bowling Association, an organization of the active tenpin Hiowlers of this city was launched last Friday nigrht. Officers were elected and committees were appointed to attend to all arrangements preliminary to the minual tournament to commence Octo ber 1. Tenpin bowling', the reigning Winter sport of all the East, has at last ef fectually displaced the cocked hat game heretofore so popular on the Coast. The local bowlers, who formerly were con tent to knock down but three pins, have come to recognize the more scien tific, and at the same time, more enjoy able features of the bigger game. They are already familiar with the sociabil ity and democracy which the Winter t-vcnlng contests engender and are rap idly joining the ranks of the new asso ciation. To the end that all may enjoy the greatest benefits from the game; that the most proficient may have their pro ficiency and skill systematically tested and finally that others may be inter ested in this healthful sport, such an organization as the Portland Bowling Association, is necessary. It is the inten. Hon to bring all bowlers in the state Into the league. Though it be not well known, it is a fact that such towns as Astoria, Pen dleton, Baker City, Oregon City, New berg and others. are far more advanced, proportionately, in the tenpin game than ts Portland. A combination of all the bowling forces in the state will make a powerful and effective organi zation, through the medium of which town, city and state tournaments may be held. Thus it will be possible at the end of the season to Officially announce and bjnor, our state champions, five men ' teams, two-men teams and indi vidual champions. . The Portland Bowling Association is organized under the auspices of the Western Bowling Congrese, a parent nody which controls the game through out the territory west of the Missis sippi Klvcr. The same benefits which accrue to organized baseball under the National agreement will be found in or ganized bowling under the two great congresses, the American and the West ern. In Portland the game is making great siri'les. In the Seventh-street alleys the roar of the ball and the crash of the pins Is, 'no.ard incessantly and there nro tames lor beginners and experts. When the Commercial Club erects its splendid new home it will Install some of the finest tenpin alleys in the West. The advantage of the social aiter- lunch game is more than ever apparent to the local business men. The Multnomah Club will soon con vert its cocked hat alleys to thoso for the new game .and there will follow a tremendous revival of the sport at the good old ctub. In-this connection it may be mentioned that the Portland Bowl ing Association . is a strictly amateur organization. The-giving of cash prizes and rolling for money under its aus pices will be prohibited. A tenpin tournament is to be held this coming Fall and Winter. Five-men teams will contest at weekly intervals for handsome and costly prizes. The quota of teams is not complete and all bowlers or those who wish to learn who have not yet registered are urged to communicate with the secretary, J. T. Hamilton, 84 Seventh'street at once. The tournament will open October 1 and run until January 1. Another tour nament may follow this one, but with the beginning of the year the associa tion will address Itself to the work of holding; a city and state championship contest. The result of this struggle will determine who shall represent Oregon at the senior meet in March. For this honor all are eligible and it is hoped that all will turn out and strive for the coveted place. Following are the officers of the Portland Bowling Association, any one of whom will gladly furnish interested ones with information: J. H. Barbour, president; F. W. Arris, vice-president; 3. T. Hamilton, secretary; W. D. Scott, treasurer. BUILDERS WIN BALL GAME ARCHITECTS HAVE SATISFACTION OF HAVING FLAYED WELL. Mayor Lane Umpires Game at Mnltno maU Field, Which Is Much Enjoyed by Crowd. With banners flying and led by a band, Portland's architects and build ers paraded the city streets yesterday afternoon and ended their course at Multnoraan Field, where a battle royal was fought. It was advertised as base ball. It was played, on a baseball dia mond. And now the members of the crowd that filled the grandstand are arguing among themselves as to whether it may not have been baseball, Dut they are not certain. At any rate there was an umpire no other than Mayor Lane and also an official scorer, and when the latter had counted the runs the score stood 18 for the men who build and only half as many for the designers. There were only five innings played, which was well. Otherwise the game would have been concluded by twilight. Tne game did not commence until 3:30 o'clock, though it was booked for an hour earlier. The architects say it is a habit of all builders to be dilatory in commencing work, but the builders de clare that if the architects wished the game to commence on time they should have Inserted a forfeiture clause in the conditions: The game was opened with the arch itects at bat, and Holland, who pitched for the builders demonstrated that he is a candidate - for the big leagues. Mayor Lane took precaution to protect himself from the injuries that usually befall umpires and came armed. The Mayor carried a large umbrella and it was rumored among the crowd that the handle was loaded. Further protection was seen in the person of one of Port land's finest who, although maintaining, a respectful distance, was on the alert to help the Mayor out if it came to a fight. Harry Menges started a rush but the sight of the umbrella alone was enough for him andiie went back to his place at short. Mehges seemed jeal ous of the work of Camp, of the build ers' team, for the latter pulled down several skyscrapers that Harry could never have touched. Fisher, one of the handlers of beams and joists, even though his beard is white, showed that he also had some thing up his sleeve. In four times at bat he hit safely four times and trotted around the circuit and stole bases like an 18-year-old boy. Emil Schacht was also there with the goods and like Wagner, that German of the major league, had his eye out for the batting. The first time up he knocked a line drive that none of the builders dare tackle, stole second, third and home, and bowed gracefully when the ladies in the stand cheered him.

Bedouin, at 9 to 6, won the $15,000 century stakes, mile and a half, at Sheepshead Bay today, defeating the favorite, Fine Clothi with The Picket third. Tho field of four was perhaps the poorest that has ever battled for this rich stake of which such horses as Sysonby, Stalwart and Water Boy were among the previous winners. The Picket, Bedouin and Fine Cloth were all heavily played, with the later a favorite at 17 to 10. The start was good and Fine Cloth took the lead by two lengths, Be dftuin second and The Picket third. This order remained in the run down the back stretch. At the far turn Hildebrand sent Bedouin up to the leader, and in the stretch Bedouin gradually caught Fine Cloth and In a drive won by half a length. Demund easily won the $8000 Flatbush stakes at seven furlongsi In this race the Futurity winner. Electioneer, Foun tain Blue, one of the best two-year-olds of the year, and a number of other good' ones started, but at no time did they threaten the winner. Fountain Blue was made a hot favorite, while 5 to 2 was laid against Electioneer, the other prices ranging from 40 to 60 to 1. De mund broke in the front and soon had a lead of two lengths, which he increased to four at the finish. Fountain Blue showed some speed, but stopped sud denly and finished away back. John M. P., . the imported English jumper, won the $8000 great Autumn stee plechase over the full course of 24 miles. He carried 162 pounds and made a new' record for the distance in 5:05, the pre vious record being 5:06 3-5 in 1904. John M. P. made all the pace, winning by one and a half lengths. Ellicott, in the first race, was played for a good thing, and by his victory the ring lost about $50,000. He opened at 30 to 1 and was pounded to 10 to 1 at the close.

DICK LOSES GROUND Ohio Senator Fails to Receive Home Indorsement. FORMER FRIENDS DESERT Leader of State Republicans Told at Cleveland That He Must Re tire From the Posi tion of Chairman. CLEVELAND, O., Sept. 8. (Special.) The most crushing blow delivered to United States Senator Charles Ft Dick as leader of the Republican party In Ohio was that administered today in Cuya hoga and Summit counties, which refused to Indorse him, the former declaring for his retirement as chairman of the Repub lican State Committee. Congressman Theodore Burton, of Cleveland, who gave Impetus to the anti-Dick movement two weeks ago. In a speech asking the Re publicans of Ohio to indorse Roosevelt heartily and Senators Dick and Foraker only "mildly," controlled the Cuyahoga convention today, and at his request a resolution was adopted calling for the dethronement of Dick as state chairman. Burton disclaimed all Intention of be coming a boss. The convention instructed him to select a new executive committee, but be de clined, saying: "'I do not want to be boss. You select the members, and I'll be a private In the ranks." Neverthe less, the convention did hie bidding. An effort was made by the anti-Dick forces to force the convention to Roose velt's Indorsement of the ship subsidy In his message to Congress, but Burton talked against it, and the delegates turned the matter down. Senator Dick's defeat In Summit County was complete. He made a personal plea for Indorsement on the floor of the con vention, tout to no avail. Judge Wana- maker, who led the 'anti-Dick forces, de clared that the convention could no more indorse Senator Foraker and President Roosevelt than it could indorse Christ and the devil. Then, pointing, he said "And as for you. Senator Dick, the Re publicans of Summit County are divided on the question of your qualifications." The Dick leaders urged recognition. pleading that Dick was a Summit County boy and pointing to his public career, Then Dick took the floor and asked for Indorsement, but, after a discussion last ing three hours, the delegates refused to. indorse him. Hamilton County, the home of Con gressman Nicholas Longworth and George B. Cox, the Republican boss, indorsed uick ana r oraker. LdXG ROASTS IiAFOLLETTE. Resents Invasion of Kansas by Wis consin Senator. BELOIT, Kan., Sept. 8. (Specials United States Senator Chester I. Long spoke here this afternoon, opening the state campaign in this part of Kansas. The theme of Senator Long's remarks was the criticism of Senator LaFollette of Wisconisn. Mr. Long said in part: "Some weeks ago Senator LaFollette delivered some Chautauqua lectures In Kansas. He took occasion in these speeches to criticise my record on rail road rate legislation, and censured me for voting against some of his amend ments. He also advised the people of this state whom to elect next Winter to the Senate, thus relieving the Legisla ture from this part of Its duty. I will not discuss the propriety of Senator La Fojlette s coming Into this state and in our absence attacKing me and my col league, Senator Benson. Each Senator must determine for himself whether such a course is In good taste, is honorable and fair. "Senators are somewhat accustomed to attacks in the public press, but it is very unusual for a Senator to attack another outside of the Senate and in his absence, In doing so, Senator LaFollette only shows what he considers fair. Just and appropriate, and ' without further refer ence, I shall leave It to the people of Kansas to determine whether his course is commendable or not. He comes into this stat and makes these attacks, not for the purpose solely of enlightening the people of Kansas upon the record of her representatives, or to benefit the public, for it must not be forgotten that these attacks are made also at so much per attack, and that the Senator has been paid for all the speeches that' he has made in Kansas. "I have much experience in populism, but I say to you today that Senator La Follette advocates propositions that are as populistlc as any made by Jerry Simp son, the difference between them being that Simpson was more conservative." PERKIXS IN GOOD SHAPE Doctor Flnd9 No Symptoms of Sore Head. SIOUX CITY, la.. Sept S.-In reply to the statement of many newspapers throughout Iowa that he has bolted Gov ernor Cummins because Cummins defeat ed him for the nomination, George D. Perkins has published today his signed card, addressed to the "newspaper fellows of Iowa, good, bad' and indifferent," in which he says: "The undersigned has been to see the doctor. The doctor says there is no Indi cation of a broken heart; In fact, the doc tor Bays the heart is In good shape In better shape than might be expected, con sidering its years. There has been so much said about its being broken that it is a pleasure to know that the report is untrue. "Medical science has not yet found a way to supply a new heart, and it is im portant for everyone to take care of the one he has. The doctor also examined the head for sores, and he found none. He said w..ni slight irritation exists was caused by dandruff. He was questioned about the blood, and said the blood was not bad as far as he could discover." Mr. Perkins adds that the doctor did not advise a change of climate or vaca tion. SHAW RIDICULES BRYAX. Says Democrats Have Drifted Away From Jefferson. 'DANVILLE, Va., Sept. 8. (Special.) Hon. Leslie M. Shaw, Secretary of the Treasury, spoke here tonight on the is sues of the campaign. The Democrats, he said, were not on the lookout for a platform that would better the country, but the end they had in view was any old thing to win on. His mention of Bryan produced great applause and it was evident that many of his auditors were Democrats. ' "Mr. Bryan's speech at Madison Square Garden," he said, "showed clearly that he was a candidate for the Democratic nomination and that his views would constitute the platform." He '.ridiculed the nomination of United States 'Senators by the people, the criminal prosecution of trusts and Federal ownership of rail roads. TJie Democrats, he said, had drifted away from the principles as ex pounded by Thomas Jefferson. Mr. Shaw closed with a comprehensive argument in favor of tariff for protec tion of home industries and a tribute to the prosperity now enjoyed by the United States and which the present tariff made. Mr. Shaw leaves for Salisbury, N. C. where he speaks Monday. Xot Even Allowed on Ballot. DALLAS, Tex., Sept. 8. (Special.) M. Gentry, chairman of the Dallas County Republican Committee, received informa tion from Dennison that the Attorney General's department today reversed Its rules of two weeks that the state ticket of the Reorganized Republicans, with E.

Ellis County, adjoining Dallas County, and one of the most important in Texas, was carried- by the Prohibitionists today by 2100 majority. The Prohibitionists are arranging to bold an election in Dallas County. Labor Unions Invite Bryan. OMAHA, Sept. 8.

Three ranch men, lost their lives late this evening by being overcome by gas in an aban doned well on the flats below the city. The dead: FRANK ELY. aged SI. MATTHEW FOG ARTY, aged 34. ANDREW MEHAR. aged 85. Fogarty and Mehar lost their lives in attempting to rescue Ely. Ely had gone down the well to clean it, when he was overcome, falling to tho bottom, a distance of 34 feet. When he felt himself going, Ely yelled, and Fogarty at once responded to Ely s cry for help, but he, too, was soon overcome, when he fell to the bottom. Mehar, unaware of the presence of gas, attempted to descend to the rescua of his two friends, and had gotten down but a few rungs of the ladder, when he also plunged to the base of the shaft. All the bodies were recovered after several hours' work, grappling hooks being necessary to bring the remains to the surface. AT THE 'HOTELS. The Portland H. E. Pool,- Tacoma: T. J. Walker.
