Championship May Come North
Despite Ills Decisions.
BT W. G. MAC RAE.
This afternoon's ball games between
the local team and Fisher's men close
the ball season for 1906 In Portland.
When the season opened last Spring
prospects for a successful year for the
Rood old National sport on the coast
never looked better. The crimp that the
old outlaw days had put In the bank ac
counts of the magnates had been pretty
well straightened out, and all of the
teams In the coast league looked as If
they would close the season of 1906 with
money on the right side of the ledger.
rhls would have been the case but for
he Ban Francisco shake-up, so from
shining prospects the league affairs
lropped into the deepest gloom and It
was left for Portland to pull the league
through the season.
For several days after the earthquake
It did not look as If the coasters would
finish out the season that they had Just
started. Things looked mighty black,
and right here It can be said and said
without boasting that there Is no other
minor league playing ball that could have
received the financial Jolt that the Pa
ine Coast League did and still be play
ing ball. It Just shows what men can
do when they have made up their minds
to stick together. All that Is necessary
s for one man to lead.
The man on this occasion was Judge
rtV. W. McCredle. When Judge McCredle
learned that I was going to San Fran
cisco he said: "'See President Bert and
jcal Ewlng and tell them to send their
teams north. We can take care of them
for a few weeks, and by that time we
will be able to tell Just what can be
done." This message was ' delivered to
Cal Ewlng on board a ferryboat going
to Oakland. The next morning at 10
o'clock all the ball players were rounded
up and preparations made' to send the
teams north. It was the prompt action
n the part of Judge McCredle that saved
the coasters, and It was the loyalty of
the local fans that kept the pot boiling.
vvnue Portland through Judge McCre
dle was throwing a lifeline to the league,
not a word was heard from Seattle. When
the earthquake had laid Snh Francisco
low, Seattle had, over and above what
he team had spent for Spring training,
something like 13000. Neither Russ Hall
nor Agnew cared for the future of the
roosters. Their . first thought " was to
hold fast to what they had, then If what
the other magnates accomplished did not
suit them they would stand tip and fall
over backwards. In a sense Hall and
Agnew are not to be blamed. They know
hat their string Is limited and perhaps
don't want to play It out. Rest as
sured. Seattle won't loose anything on
the season. They still have the $3000
and the money they have raked in by
selling players. Agnew and Hall both
figured that the last six weeks of the
playing schedule would be a losing ven
ture, and expected to see the 8000 or
10.000 bucks they had cleaned up disap
pear. The team in the league to be hit the
hardest by the quake, not counting San
Francisco, was Portland. Portland was
so lucky in securing opening dates "that
Manager McCredle had the pleasure of
ipening at Fresno. On the heels of this
ame a week at Los Angeles, with Jim
Morley holding back the few paltry dol
lars that were taken in during the few
lays of play. It's a 100 to 1 bet that
had Seattle been at Los Angeles other
eopIo would be In control of the Sl-
iwashes now. Judge McCredle wasn't
hlnklng of the money that he had lost.
he was only thinking of. getting the ball
players out of a country that was shot
all to pieces. He was taking a chance
m Portland standing lor practically
continuous baseball.
Some critics will say that Portland
fans have paid their money at the gate
uecause Manager Met redie s team has
lieen leading the league. This Is not
true, for the financial support that the
team Is getting now Is not greater than
when the team was a tall-ender. Nat-
irally, there Is local pride In having a
pennant-winning ball team, but If the
bunting is to be won the fans want to
kee good baseball while the winning is
oing on. lhere Is no question but that
Manager McCredle has surrounded him
self this season with the best lot of ball
players that have yet represented Port
land In the coast league. They have
fought their way to the top and have
stayed there by hard work.
Taking It all In all. It Is a ball team
that any city might be proud of, not
because It has been leading the league
for months, but because of the splendid
personnel of the team. McCredle has
heen fortunate in not having a booza
ngnter on his team this season. In fact
more than half of the members of his
team do not drink a drop and only a
ipw oi mem smoKe. in former years
Portland had better booie fighters on Its
team than It had ball players.
vvnetner tne bunting will come tn Port
land remains to be seen. With any kind
if fair luck nothing can prevent Jt. One
iniug inai nuns ana one of the things
we won't stand Is President Bert's In
tention to decide all of the contested
games against Portland. This would rob
us of at least three games that we are
justly entitled to. If ever a ball team
whs entitled to a protested game Port
land is entitled to that Los Angeles
game. President Bert decided It once
n our favor, then reversed himself Whii
the local fans would like to know Is
why Bert changed his decision. In an
Interview given out while he was in
Portland the other day. President Bert
said that he thought Umpire Mahaffey
had gone too far In forfeiting that Los
Angeies game to Portland. Pirhan
President Bert wants the players to
hulldose and bullyrag the umpires. Per"
lisps he wants the players to call his
officials "fat bums", and use language
to nis umpires inai would shame a fish
monger. If he does, then his decision
that Umpire Mahaffey was wrong upon
insisting that Captain Dillon nay Ran
dolph's fine, was nice and dandy.
Portland has stood for almost any kind
f an old bunk that the coast 'league
moguls saw fit to hand out, but If Pres
ident Bert, through his decisions, hap
pens to hurt Portland's chances of win
ning the pennant he will find more than
the Seattle Idea on his hands. We are
patient and long suffering, but when it
comes time for the big kick one of
Maud a wiffs won t be in It with the kind
of a kick that we will put up.
Po.-tland Crew Praised.
Jam R. Osborn, a well-known oars
man, Tas received the following letter
from James Pllklngton, of New Tork.
uresldent of the National Association of
ENDS
DNICKT
American Oarsmen, who writes In terms
of very high praise of the Portland crew:
"I received your letter of August 12
and was very pleased to hear from you.
I am the one who rowed In the Metropol
itan double at Pullman in .1889, and I
still take a very active Interest In the
game and presume I will for years to
come, as I think we have no other sport
like It. f remember your race very well,
and your time Is still the best on record
for lake water, and I am glad to know
that you are going to Interest yourself
in the sport again, and would like to meet
you at some of our National regattas.
I hope the Portland boys will make an
other trip to our regatta. MyBelf and
many others were sorry they did not
win this year. They were a splendid lot
of fellows and could not have lost the
race had they been properly boated. 1
told Dan Murphy, their trainer, before
the race that the boat was not fit to row
In and would destroy their chances of
winning. I would have tried to borrow a
boat for them, but he was afraid to
change the rig on such short notice. I am
sending you under separate cover a copy
of this year's manual, which will give
you all the records."
Mr. Osborn was a member of the Gar
field, Utah, crew which was the first
Western crew ever sent East. This was
In 18S9. Mr. Osborn and Benjamin Web
ber, now of Chicago, rowing at the Na
tional regatta at Pullman, III., broke the
world's record for pair oars, making the
remarkable time of a mile and a half In
9:18, which has never been lowered.
TRACY'S AUTO WINS.
Covers 297 Miles In Less Than Five
and One-Half Honrs.
NEW TORK, Sept. 22. A vast throng
which rushed upon the course today pre
vented the completion of the elimination
race to select five American racing auto
mobiles to take part in the race for the
Vanderbllt cup, after three of the cars
had completed the race. Joseph Tracy,
who won the race, Herbert Leblon. sec
ond, and H. N. Harding, third, were the
only racers who were allowed to cover
the entire course. They thus qualified
their machines for the cup races and the
Judges selected machines driven by Her
bert B. Lytle and Walter Christie as the
other two to represent American manu
facturers In the big race.
When Tracy crossedtho finish line of
the 297 m'iles' Journey, after a sensational
race, in which he made one circuit of the
course at a rate of a mile a minute. In
cluding nine turns, the great crowd of
spectators which greeted him with a roar
of cheers thronged down upon the course
and engaged in a scramble to see and
congratulate the winner. Leblon and
Harding, who were on the tenth and last
lap, had to drive their cars almost Into
the throng In order to get across the fin
ish line, but the other racers, who were
far behind, were unable to force their
way through.
Perceiving that the action of the crowd
would prevent a fair finish of the remain
ing two qualifiers, William K. Vanderbllt,
Jr., the donor of the cup, and the Judges
ordered the race stopped and held a meet
ing to select the other two cars to qual
ify. Lytle and Christie were chosen be
cause they were in fourth and fifth po
sitions when the course was blocked.
La well was pressing Christie closely for
the fifth position.
Tracy's time for the entire course was
5 hours, 27 minutes and 46 seconds, that
of Leblon 5 hours, 51 minutes and 25 sec
onds and of Harding ( hours, 26 minutes
and 89 seconds.
Notwithstanding that the course was re
garded a more dangerous than that over
which the cup race was run last year and
the drivers sent their powerful machines
over It at a speed at times as high as
90 miles an hour and around sharp
curves, only one of the racing cars was re
ported to have been smashed and from
that the driver, Monglni, and his mechan
ician escaped without serious Injury.
Twenty miles from the starting line, the
car driven by Monginl burst a tire, and,
turning out of the road, crashed Into a
telegraph pole and was badly damaged.
Monglni was thrown out, but landed
safely.
There were numerous minor accidents
to the machines, chiefly damage to the
tires, so that the racers were trailed out
at long Intervals over the course, and
many had not half completed the distance
when the winner finished.
The race, called tne elimination trial,
was 'or Americans, to determine
what cars are to have the right of
competing for the cup over the same
course on October 6. The conditions
were: Race American elimination
trials. Place Nassau County, Long
Island. Start From Westbury, at 6 A.
M. Length of course 29.71 miles. Num.
ber of starters Twelve, to be sent
away at minute Intervals. Objeot To
select five American-made cars to com
pete in the Vanderbllt cup race, to be
run over the same course October 6.
The winner last year was Bert Dlnd
ley. ;
The arrangements made by the mana
gers of the Nassau Hospital appeared
more like preparations for a battle be
tween two armies than provisions in a
contest of speed and skill. Eight am
bulances were sent early this morning
to various danger points along the
course Sheriff Frederick Gildersleeve
had made equally elaborate prepara
tions to prevent Injury to spectators
and to keep the public from encroach
ing on the course. More than 30 Dep
uty Sheriffs and flag-men had been sta
tioned along the roads over which the
racers were to speed.
In drawing for the numbers for the
starters, . so-called "unlucky 18" was
omitted.

Daredevil Tracy's Inspiration a Pair
of Eyes in Grandstand.
NEW TORK. 8ept. 22. (Special.)
Tracy, winner of the elimination contest
In the Vanderbllt cup preliminary today
made a Record of E4'.4 miles. All the en
thusiasts who witnessed his performance
believe he will have an excellent chance
In the final race. His drive excelled all
expectations. By some a novel reason Is
advanced. Following Tracy's every dash
past the grandstand were- two eyes keen
ly centered upon him. They belonged to
Miss Taylor, the daredevil's sweetheart,
who had pledged to the driver her hand,
contingent upon his success.
Told by a Clergyman.
Baltimore Sun.
Thl" tale was told by a Baklmore,
clergyman:
Mary Blank was one of a large family
and a most peculiar girl. One day she
was In the third story of her home talk
ing energetically to a friend. They were
standing by the staircase and, since It
was one of those square shaft sort of
staircase affairs, Mary. by taking
thought (the minister's words, mind you),
could see from where she stood straight
down to the entry hall beneath her. As
she looked and as she talked Mary saw
down below her younger sister May. She
talked, and the story reached a climax.
Mary bobbed her head savagely to In
dicate the point, and her glasses, out
raged at being so treated, took the oc
casion to Jump off her nose and go hurt
ling down through the air to the first
floor where stood the sister. That person
was startled by Mary's exclamation as
the glasses came off and looked Into the
air toward the third story. Now here is
the funny part of the story, where all
laugh: The glasses righted themselves
in midair, squarely struck the bridge of
May's nose and stood there as nicely as
If May had put them there herself.
It is an old tale and worth repeating.
It is even said that until Mary come
downstairs May did not know she was
the recipient of the glasses, so nicely
had they struck and continued In pleas
ing vein her conversation on the weather
with the Iceman.

FRANK HOWE, WEIL-KNOWN
Oaks today In honor of the six crack
shots from the East who will give an ex
hibition of their prowess with the scat
ter gun. From 10 o'clock In the morn
ing till 4:30 o'clock In the afternoon
Portland sportsmen will have the chance
of their lives to see some extraordinary
shooting at clay pigeons. .Besides the
Easterners, who have been traveling over
the United States, attending tournaments
and giving exhibitions, the best of the
local shots will try their hands at the
traps.
The Eastern party reaches Portland
from Medford, Or., from the tourna
ment there, early In the morning. After
a short rest they will go to The Oaks
and begin shooting. Everyone is a cham
pion of something or other mostly
world's champions, at that. They are
Will R. Crosby. H. C. Hlrshey, Tom A.
Marshall, R. O. Halkes, Walter Huff
and B. C. North.
Crosby Is the top-notch champion of
all trap and live bird shooters. He has
a list of records to make one gasp. Be
sides holding the world's championship
In clay pigeons with a straight run of
419, he has killed 66 birds straight from
the 33-yard mark, and 110 straight from
the 31-yard mark. He can't remember
half his other feats.
Hirshey Is nearly as good as Crosby,
and Is the latter's partner In the two
man Winchester team. He once shot
steadily for seven days without missing
a target. Captain "Tom" Marshall Is
the only man who has ever won the
American handicap twice. Better than
that, he tied the third time, but was
eliminated in. the shoot-off.
Every old trapshooter knows about R.
O. Helkes. Helkes Is the oldest cham
pion trapshooter in the business. He
Is past 63, but shoots as true and with as
steady nerve as any of the younger men.
Helkes at some time oother has held
about every championship available, and
hasn't stopped trying yet.
Multnomah Rod and Gun Club men will
be on hand In force. A good many crack
shots of the Northwest have also been
attracted to the tourney. P. J. Haloran,
of Twin Falls, Idaho, winner at the
Pocatello shoot and that at Walla Walla,
Is expected to do some exhibition work.
Another crack shot Is G. L. Becker, of
Ogden, Utah, winner of the high aver
age, globe trophy, and Individual cham
pionship at the Northwest tourney In
1903, who was defeated by Haloran at
Pocatello by only one point.
Of the local ehooters, Maurice Abra
ham, W. E. Carton, Frank Howe, local
representative of the Union Metalllo
Cartridge Company; W. E. Hlllls, A. J.
Winters, Harry Ellis, B. W. King, Jr.;
W. A. Robertson and Judge Billy
Fechhelmer, of Astoria, will compete.
Members of the Multnomah Rod and
Gun Club think this tourney will da
much to revive Interest In tra'pshootlng
in Portland. The shooters will divide
Into squads of five and each man will
shoot at 150 birds. There are no prizes,
as all events are exhibitions.

Maybe you think that Jimmy McHale
isn't the sly dog. Yesterday he ap
peared In a robin's egg blue undershirt
and the delicate hues of that garment at
tracted the entire attention of the lady
fans present. JSvery one knew how be
coming they were In baby blue and each
looked upon Jimmy's appearance as a
dainty compliment. But Jimmy wasn't
thinking of all this. Jimmy simply knew
that a number of Vancouver's handsome
daughters were to appear on Douma row
and Jimmy knows handsome daughters
when he sees them. Anyway Jimmy will
be pleased to know that his robin's egg
undershirt caught the trick and turned
It over, so it isn't necessary for Jimmy
to pay laundry bills on a garment that
soils so easily.
That robin's egg blue undershirt cer
tainly didn't help the local bunch play
baseball, as she should be played. Fish
er plucked young O'Banlon from the In
cubator again yesterday and sent him
against Gum. O'Banlon passed through
110 minutes of agony, for fully half of
those 110 minutes some of those Port
land pennant grabbers were dancing on
bases. When It came time for curtains.
Fisher's fledgling had been clouted for
14 of the kind that land where they ain't.
With the help of Happy Hogan, O'Banlon
walked seven, so the afternoon was rath
er uncomfortable for the Incubator Kid.
Bill Sweeney was very much the works
at and during the session. Bill started
the Joy bells ringing in the first. He
singled and scored and so would have
Jimmy McHale, but Jimmy forgot that
his robin's egg blue undershirt had at
tracted the I'rap's attention, as well as
that of the fair ones in the grandstand.
Jimmy didn't wait until McLaughlin had
clutched Mitchell's long fly and the Ump
called him out for leaving the station
without proper clearance papers.
It was B. Sweeney that got home again
in the third. He made one of the In
cubator Kid's passes good for a round
trip.
In the eighth, fearing that Fisher's
crew might wake up. Bill poked the ball
on the goboon and it went to the fence
before Doyle could gather It in. By this
time the baby blue undershirt wps soiled!,
but Jimmy McHale showed his Indiffer
ence by driving B. Sweeney home with
a two-cushion clout. Both swipes were
good for a total of four runs, because
Donahue and Gum, when Sweeney hit
the fence, presented their passes to Haj?
py Hogan for rebates.
Gum never gave Fresno a chance. He
wiffed eight of them and didn't walk a
man, which Is going some for a side
wheeler. Gum managed to sneak in two
singles and score once. He was happy.
Didn't you see him cut this caper? If
you didn't, read the score:

HIGH SCHOOL IS CONFIDENT
Boys Expect to Carry Off Football
' Pennant This Season.
Portland High School expects to capture
first place this season In the Portland In---
terscholastlc Football League. The rootban
squad, materially strengthened by much
good ' timber, will begin practice next
Monday. The team Is the strongest and
fastest aggregation, taken man for man,
that has ever been turned out by the
High School, and it is expected to mow
down everything In sight. The team has
already organized by electing A. H. Lewis
captain.
While the material could hardly be bet
ter, what remains to bring victory to the
team Is careful training and coaching.
Professor Henderson will coach the
bunch. It Is an instance of mutual con
fidence, as Professor Henderson has great
faith In the new team and the members
have In him. He expects to whip them
Into shape within a short time and be
lieves that he will get results from them.
Professors Ball and Boyd will assist
Professor Henderson in the training of
the boys. The coaches are all members
of the faculty. In compliance with the
new ruling In football this year that no
school can employ a coach for the team
unless he Is a member of the school.
One of the things that make the out
look bright and rosy for the High School
boys, and perhaps the main reason why
they are confident of winning everything
in sight, is that the faculty of the Port
land Academy has prohibited football.
The Portland Academy has been the
strongest school In athletics for several
years past, and Inasmuch as it will not
be represented by a team, the High
School squad thinks It has a downhill
roll.
Not only In football, but in everything
else In the athletic line, the High School
boys expect an easy run. They declare
that they will be the leaders In the three

WHITMAN COLLEGE, Walla Walla,
Sept, 22. (Speclalu.) The football man

The date .of the game with the Wash
ington State College has not been definite
ly settled, but it will probably be on
Thanksgiving Day, at Walla Walla, as
that has been the custom between the
two schools for a number of years. The
team, from the University of North Da
kota will pass through Walla Walla on
its Western trip, November ' 3. and is
trying to arrange for a game with Whit
man on that date.

GINGER ATTHECLUB
Football Players Show Enthu
siasm at Practice,
STURDY SPIRIT PREVAILS
Gridiron Stars of Past Years Will
Be Missed, but New Recruits
Are Eager to Take
Their Places.
Never in the history of the Multno
mah Club has so much enthusiasm
been shown so early in the season as
this, the year of the new radical
changes In football rules. While notn
Ing very definite has been accomplished
toward saying positively what partic
ular places will be tilled by any cer
tain player in different games, it is
very gratifying to note mat a big
line-up for places has already been re
corded with the manager and things
looit now as though It will be "can he
make the team," and not "can we get
him to play?"
Lvive Jordan, captain again this
year, is as full of ginger In regard to
the game aa of old, more so if any
thing, partly on account of the new
rules, and more particularly for tlio
reason tliat he loves the game so well.
Under his "rod of iron" In the field this
year the team expects to win every
tning in sght, including the game with
Seattle and the U. of O.
Butler, the big guard, will try for
the eleven and will probably have no
trouble In making good, especially if
ue gets out for practice.
Ed Dowllng, the next captain, will
be out for an end position and we
know what he has done and no doubt
can do as easily aarain.
Dr. Rader Is to be on hand: so is
Mart Pratt. Both only need to get into
condition, which they will try to start
to do this morning on the sawdust
field a; the club.
Bert will try for guard, Russell for
half back. "Bud" James has been on
the field for the last few nights prac
ticing and is doing some great stunts
kicking the ball. He looks as though
he would be better than ever. Ho
weighs In now at 1S7.
The players will have to get the
kicking habit, for this year where ten
yards must be made with three downs
it will come in handy. Of course the
forward pass will help some, but there
Is no doubt, as can be seen from pre
liminary practice, that more- kicking
and open play will be necessary In
order to win most of the games with
out falling back on the so-called "Mult
nomah lu?k."
Perry Austen and Crosby have signi
fied their willingness to don the war
togs of the winged M and while noth
ing Is settled as to whether "Mike"
Dolph will play or not, his practicing
on the field night after night is not
doing any harm and may get him In
the blpr games all to the good If the
team needs him.
Henderson, of the High School, will
try for quarterback and stands a fine
show of making It if he shows up well
In the opening games. The rule will be
this year that all candidates must show
some form In the practice. They will
then be given a chance In the opening
games, where those who show up best
will be put In the big games. But no
one will be put in the big games with
out having practiced.
R. W. Brooks, of Idaho, will try for
the team, as will also James Alexander,
a Portland boy, who will be on the
list of eligible quarterbacks. Bennett
us a possible guard, has signified his
intention of doing his best to fill that
position and many others, but the
chances will be given to men who
really try to make good.
George McMillan is playing tennis
Industriously these days which will
help If he Is needed. McMillan is a
good old reliable and so long as he
keeps himself In condition no one need
say he is getting old, for let It be no
ticed, he has always made good, help
ing the team out of many a bad hoi.
Chester Murphy will be missed greatly
as a player, but may be counted upon
to assist as coach.
While Watkins will not be manager
again this year he still takes a lively
Interest In the game.
Nothing much Is talked of In snJ
around the club these days except
football. While there is some difference
of opinion as to what the new rules
will do to the game, nearly all concede
that there will be much more kicking
and open play, and consequently mere
beeflness will not count as much as of
old. The rules being new more Inter
est Is necessarily taken until the root
ers can see Just what It takes to con
stitute & crackerjack football player.
There will be a large turn out for
practice this morning on the local
field.
NOBTON' VERSUS NORTOMA
Society Teams Play Baseball on
Multnomah Field.
An exciting baseball game was played
yesterday afternoon between the bache
lors of the Hotel Norton and Nortonla,
rival hostelrles. The contest was some
thing of a society event, as evidenced by
the number of ladies who occupied the
grandstand and cheered their friends
who frantically wallowed In the newly
spread sawdust on Multnomah Field. The
Nortonla boys won by a score of 25 to 7
In a seven-lnnlng game. The Norton
crowd owe their defeat in great part to
Fogarty, who could be seen a great part
of the time sitting In center field, when
the correct thing Is always to bring along
a campstool when society Is playing ball.
Humphrey proved to be a Utle light
for the position. Sid Lowenberg is a
very good runner, running so fast he
was burled In clouds of sawdust. Miller
did not wear his red necktie on the field,
consequently was not quite up to form.
Bob McCraken wag all right for the
"high-balls" when they came his way,
before and after the game. Rothwell
tried to take home a base, probably to
take to the renowned Bachelor Club,
skinned his arm and had to catch with
his feet. Captain E. P. Orton, PaytrAas
ter. U. S. A.t paid off every one making
first. The line-up:
