Strength.
FIRST GAME OF FOOTBALL
SEASON.
Portland's first football game "of tho
season under the new rule will take
place on Multnomah field, October 20,
with 11 of Uncle Sam's fighting men
from Fort Stevens. A great deal of
Interest will be taken In this name,
not becauae It is the opening game of
the season, but because It will give
lovera of the gridiron game their Urst
glimpse of the modified game. Since
the rules were changed football cracks
all over the country have been trying
to determine what sort of a game the
new rules will develop. The Fort Stev
ens team will be made up of some very
clever men, and they, like other play
ers, have been working out many new
plays.
Football prospects at the Multnomah
Amateur Athletic Club were never brlght-
er than they are tnis year, and there Is
every reason to believe that Multnomah
will maintain her enviable position among
the teams of the Pacific Northwest. The
changes in the rules and the elimination
of mass plays have stimulated Interest
In football circles throughout the whole
country, and those who love the great
Autumn sport are anxiously awaiting the
opening of the season, In order to see
just how the modified game is going to
work out. In local athletic circles, Mult
nomah la the center of attraction, and
the candidates for gridiron honors are
already at work. Captain Dave Jordan
has put his men through a rigorous Sun
day morning practice, lor the past three
weeks, and several evening workouts have
been held during the past week.
Those who keep In touch with the local
football situation declare that Multnomah
never had a better squad of candidates
than at present, and predictions are freely
made than .aiiother successful season Is
In store for the wearers of the "Winged
M." At the close of last season, a num
ber of Multnomah's veteran players an
nounced their Intention of retiring from
football, ' but a majority of these will be
In the harness again. Had Multnomah
defeated the team of the Seattle Athletic
Club last New Year's day. many of the
old players might have stuck by their
determination to retire, but the pluck and
spirit which has always characterized the
Multnomahs' playing has manifested Itself
and several of the heroes, of former days
will be out again just to get another
chance at Seattle.
Among the old men who have signified
their -intention of playing again Is Mar
tin Pratt, the reliable tackle. Pratt has
played on the club team since 1SS6, and
is'known far and wide as one of the best
tackles on the gridiron. . Marion Dolph,
halfback on the famous teams of 1901,
1902 and 1903, Is thinking of getting into
the, game again, as is Frank Lonergan,
the ' halfback, who distinguished himself
1n the memorable 11-10 game with the
Oregon Agricultural College In 1904. Dave
Jordan, captain of last season's team and
re-elected for the coming season, prom
ises to pjay his customary spectacular
game at end, and Wilder, an old Rugby
player, is trying out for the other end po
sition. Owens and Austin, two recruits
from the second team, are practicing for
the end positions, as is Montague, a ve
eran of the palmy days of 1900, 1901 and
1902. Thomas, who for three seasons
played end on the crack team of the Uni
versity of Idaho, has moved to Portland
and may try for a position on the club
eleven.- Thomas is given credit for be
ing the best end that ever donned a foot
ball suit in the State of Idaho.
Bwtler and Burt, the big guards of last
season, are out for honors again, and
Manage." Horan may decide to play a.
position in the line. Thug far, nobody has
appeared to take Overfleld's place at cen
ter, but Dow V. Walker, the famous cen
ter rush of the Oregon Agricultural Col
lege. Is now living In the city, and mav
decide to play a position on the Multno
mah eleven. Walker Is considered the
best center on the Pacific Coast, and is
also a tackle of considerable ability. He
distinguished himself two years ago, when
Oregon and Corvallls were playing their
annual game, by picking up a fumble and
running 105 yards for a touchdown, which
one of his team-mates failed to convert
into a goal, leaving the score standing 6
to 5 In Oregon's favor. Should Walker
decide . to play, he would prove a great
source of strength to the team.
There are plenty of candidates for
the back field positions. James,
the reliable fullback. Is trying for
his old place, and Is also doing
some fine punting. Paul Rader, captain
of the Puget Sound University team that
made such an enviable record In 1903, is
out for quarterback, although he can
put up a creditable game In most any
position. Rader played o nthe University
of Colorado severat years ago, and was
regarded as one of the best men In the
Rocky Mountain region. He Is a brother
of Ralph Rader, captain of the Willa
mette University team. Henderson, an
old Eastern player, is also trying; for
quarterback, and Wilder has shown him
self to be a good man for that position.
There are a number of second-Warn men
turning out regularly, and a second
team schedule will be arranged. George
McMillan, the Nestor of the Multnomah
gridiron and one of the star players of
the Pacific Coast, is manifesting his usual
Interest in football and will help out with
the coaching. "Mac" says that he will
do no more playing, but he may change
his mind If he Is needed for some of the
hard games. McMillan Is known far and
wide as a mighty man of the gridiron, and
It Is no exageratlon to say that he has
contributed more than any other man to
Multnomah's success during past years.
Manager Horan is busy with his sched
ule, and an Interesting series of games Is
being arranged. Tho season will open on
October 20, probably with the Port
Stevens eleven. Negotiations are pending
for a game with Whitman College on
October 27, and the Spokane Athletic Club
will appear here on Nevember 10. On
November 17 Multnomah will meet the
Willamette University aggregation, and
on Thanksgiving Day comes the big an
nual game with Oregon. There will be
a practice game of some kind on De
cember IS, and on Christmas day, Mult
nomah will go to Seattle to try conclu
sions with the Seattle Athletic Club team.
A return game between these teams will
be played in this city on New Tear's day.
This is the game, above all others, that
Multnomah wants to win and from pres-
STURDY
SQUAD
Sweet Marie,
OiCB more the name of Sweet Marie,
the great Calirornia-bred trotting
mare, who once raced at Salem, is
on the tongues of men interested in the
light harness world. At Syracuse, N. T.,
September 12, this great daughter of that
splendid sire, McKlnney, 2:1114, defeated
Wentworth, 2:04, in the unprecedented
time of 2:04. Her performance was
completely record breaking and It was the
fastest two-heat race ever trotted to a
sulky. At Columbus, O., at a more re
cent date this wonderful mare trotted a
mile in 2:02. The previous record was
held by Cresceus who In 1901 at
Brighton Beach trotted two heats
In 2:0314, 2:06. The previous
two-heat record for mares was
held by Sweet Marie herself. This record
was made at Memphis In 1904 when she
trotted to a sulky two heats In 2:04, 2:06.
Sweet Marie's performance at Syracuse
neats her own previous record and also
that of Lou Dillon's of 2:04. 24, to a
wagon. The second heat in 2:03, not
only broke the race record for mares,
2:0414, established by Sweet Marie earlier
In the season, but lowered the race record
for a second heat, regardless of sex, for
which she had been tied with the. two
geldings Tiverton and 'Wentworth.
Sweet Marie Is now ten years old and
Is still as sound as the proverbial dollar.
She has trotted no less than 9 heats
in 2:06 or better in races and to the
students of extreme speed in harness
horses the following table will give some
idea of Sweet Marie's wonderful perform
ances: 14 . 14 K Mile.

There are 12 trotters with records of

trotted that fast In races, they being
Cresceus 2:0314. Sweet Marie 2:03. Tiver
ton 2:04ft. Wentworth 2:04ft and Lou
Dillon (to wagon) 2:04, says the Horse
Review. Aside from Sweet Marie, Cres
ceus and Lou Dillon are the only ones
that have done so more than once, and
they have done so but twice. Sweet Marie
has, therefore, won more heats in 2:05 or
better, in races than all other trotters
ent indications, the local clubmen have
more than an even chance of doing so.
Oregon Players "Are at AVork.
Word comes from Eugene that Coach
Bezdek and his men are hard at work
and that Oregon's prospects are most flat
tering. Bezdek has written a friend In
this city that he likes the Oregon spirit
and that his men are showing up well.
Some of the 'varsity players are a little
late about getting back to college, but the
squad Is Increasing In size every day, and
the training tables will be started tomor
row. Among the old players who are al
ready turning out are Captain Chandler,
Moores. McKinney. Hug.. Hurd, Ray and
Latourette. Moullen, Hammond, Arns
piger, and several other veterans are ex
pected this week. Oregon has a fine bunch
of freshmen this year and some of the
old varsity players will have to hustle
if they hope to maintain their coveted
positions. Dudley Clark, fullback on the
Portland Academy team of last year and
substitute on the. Multnomah eleven, is
one of Oregon's most promising freshmen,
He Is working for 'a position behind the
line and is being used as a punter. Bezdek
expresses himself as highly pleased with
Clark's work, and the young man's many
friends in this city hope to see him in
Oregon's regular line-up. Pinkham, an old
Portland High School player, is trying for
tackle, as are Scott and Storey, two big
fellows from Pendleton. Hawley, captain
of last season's team at the Baker City
High School, and Dodson, . of the same
team, are trying for backfield positions
and there are several promising young
sters in the line. Moores and Chandler
are holding down their end positions, and
Hug is a fixture at center. The Oregon
players like their coach, and he is getting
a lot of good work out of them. Oregon's
first game comes on October 20, when the
Whitman College eleven will appear in
Eugene. .
Bishop to Coach Willamette.
Although there has been no official an
nouncement from Salem, It 1s said that
Chauncey Bishop will coach Willamette
during the coming season. Bishop has
acted in a similar capacity for two years,
and if he directs Willamette's work
again, the Methodists are sure of a good
team. Willamette Is said to have some
excellent freshman material, and indica
tions point to a successful season. Wil
lamette outplayed and almost defeated
Oregon last year, besides defeating Mult
nomah by 4 to 0. There Is a large squad
of candidates at the Oregon Agricultural
College, and Coach Norcross has arrived
to begin his work. Most of the Corvallls
players are new men, but some of them
are recruits from the second eleven, and
others have come in from high schools
throughout the state. Altogether, the
"Aggies" have a promising bunch, and
Norcross should be able to turn out. a
fast team by the end of the season.
Pacific University is coming to the front
with a good team, and there Is a big re
vival of athletic spirit at the Forest
Grove institution. The new members of
Pacific's faculty are coaching the team,
and there is considerable enthusiasm on
all sides. Other Valley colleges that are
preparing for the season's work are Pa
cific College, McMinnvlile, Mount Angel
and Monmouth.
Bright Prospects at W. S. C.
If reports from the "Washington State
College are correct, this year's team will
be one of the best ever turned out at
Pullman. With the exception of Fullback
Hardy, the Washington "Aggies" have
every member of last season's team.
Captain Goldsworthy is back in his ac
customed position at end, and Is confident
of turning the tables on Pullman's old
rivals Whitman and Idaho. The Pull
man team is being coached by "Johnnie"
Bender, Nebraska's famous halfback.
The University of Idaho players have
settled down to hard work, and, with
the assistance of two old Idaho players.
Coach Griffith is drilling his men for the
game with Oregon on October 26. There
will be a practice game with the Spokane
Athletic Club on October 20, after which
Griffith will announce his line-up for the
big game with Oregon. Coach Baird Is
putting the 'Whitman eleven through a
hard course of training, and hopes to
spring a big surprise on the University of
Oregon on October 20.
Although few old veterans are on the
list of- candidates at the University of
Washington, there is every reason to be
lieve that the Evergreen varsity will have
one of the best teams in its history.
There are enough old men to form the
nucleus of a good eleven, and there are
freshmen candidates galore. Many of
the best players of the different Wash
ington high schools are In the freshman
class at Washington, and Coach Victor
M. Place Is reasonably confident of suc
cess. Academic Teams Are Active.
Although there will be a number of
good teams among' the local academic
and high schools, the withdrawal of
the Portland Academy from football
has put something of a damper on aca
demic football In Portland. There are
still a number of good teams in the
field, and practice has already begun.
Seth Kerron, Oregon's crack fullback,
is coaching the Hill Military Academy,
and Henderson is at work with the

combined an achievement which Is of
such surpassing greatness that no .words
of praise can make It appear greater. It
is, indeed, not so much her speed, wonder
ful as It Is. ttfat makes Sweet Marie such
a marvel, as are the combined strength,
soundness and vitality which distinguish
her. She, in these respects, is much like
the pacing champion Dan Patch, and is
the only one upon the turf that ap-
Portland High School team. Frank
Lonergan is doing the coaching down
at Columbia University, and is develop
ing a fasfteam. With Pacific Univer
sity . and the smaller colleges of the
Valley in the field with well-coached
teams, there is no reason why the local
academic teams should not arrange the
an interesting schedule. The high
schools at Salem, Albany, Eugene and
Roseburg are all preparing forfan ac
tive season, as are the normal schools
at Drain and Ashland. Nearly every
bigh school In the state will support
a team of some kind this year, and in
some locations grammar-school leagues
have been formed.
Up in Eastern Oregon, 'where cli
matic conditions are ideal for gridiron
activities, a number of teams are al
ready at work. The Baker City High
School won the lnterscholastlc cham
pionship of Eastern Oregon last sea
son, besides defeating the Boise High
School. Baker City had a good team
last year, but -many of the best men
have graduated and gone to college.
Pendleton and La Grande both support
good high-school elevens, as do several
smaller towns in Eastern Oregon.
Tug-of-War Tournament.
It is expected that there will be a
large turnout to the meet of the Port
land Tug of War Association, which
will be held this afternoon at the Tl
voll Gardens, Twenty-third and Wash,
ington streets. Four , teams have en
tered and besides their competition
there will be several other athletic
events. The fun will begin promptly
at 2 o'clock in the afternoon.
A gold medal offered by Henry Kahn,
First and Morrison streets, will be pre
sented to the c&ptain of the winning
team. Other prizes will be given the
members of the aggregation, which
carries tho day.
A stroifg team, representing Henry
Welnhard & Co., expects to shelve
everything in sight. One of the mem
bers weighs 350 pounds and with him
as an anchor they look for nothing but
victory. The Pacific States Market,
East Side and West Side teams are all
strong and a big meet is promised.
The juveniles will have a tug-of-war
match as the "Jimmy Goose" and
"Johnny Duck" teams are to be pitted
against each other. A ladles' bucket
game will also be pulled ofr. As there Is
plenty of shelter- at the gardens the
matches will take place rain or shine.

sands of- visitors from Colorado and
neighboring states.
A garrison review by Governor Mo
Donald and distinguished guests at
Camp Pike was held at 10 o'clock this
morning, a large crowd being in at

entering it, been able to reduce . his or

one Is Cresceus. who trotted In 2:04 in
1900 and in 2:0214 in 1901. Sweet Marie has
done so not once, but twice. In 1904 she
trotted in 2:04: in 1905 in 2:04; and now

Injunction Against Longshoremen
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 29. Upon petition
of the Banning Company, the San Pedro
Lumber Company, the E. K. Wood Lum

Mill & Lumber Company, Superior Judge
Gibbs todav granted a temporaryainjunc-
