Newspaper Page Text42 THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAN. PORTLAND. APRIL 21, 1907. ATHLETES DEPLORE STANFORD TAGTIGS Enthusiasts of the Northwest Hope to Have Dual Meet With Oregon Pulled Off, races. There la great deal of talk about Kelly's going East to meet the sprinters of the Eastern colleges. If Kelly Is wise, he will make these East erners come to Oregon for a race. He Is certainly entitled to some consideration In the matter of selecting the place where he shows his speed. OLYMPIA IS ON THE LIST ? General Gossip Concerning-the Men Who Are Helping to Maintain High Standard of Sports in This Section of Country. AUiletic enthusiasts in all parts of the Northwest deplore the action of the Stan ford athletlo committee In refusing to nllow the Stanford athletes to "come North for a dual meet with Oregon. Since the first announcement of the meet some weeks ago there had been considerable speculation as to Its out come, and It was pretty generally agreed that the chances of victory were about even. The meet promised to be the most in teresting affair of Its kind ever held in the Northwest, and It would undoubtedly have drawn a large crowd. The Oregon men themselves are very much disap pointed, because they really saw an op portunity to defeat their Southern rivals and to place themselves in line for the Coast championship. Both Stanford and Oregon have a num ber of splendid athletes, and there la every reason to believe that a meet be tween the two teams would have marked an epoch In the athletlo history of the West. The Oregon management is now endeavoring to schedule a meet with the University of California, to take the place of the Stanford-Oregon meet of May . Several weeks ago California refused to consider a proposition similar to the one that Oregon Is now offering, and it is highly Improbable that Oregon will meet either one of the California col leges this year. There is some talk of a meet between Oregon and Olympic, but It Is sid that the Oregon faculty Is opposed to such a contest. Olymplo has an exceptionally strong team this year, having already defeated the ath- letes of both California and Stanford. Olympic has a youngster named Glarner. who recently lowered the Coast record for the SSO-yard run and later won the 440-yard run against a number of fleet footed Stanfordltes. In Powell and Cheek; Olymplo has a pair of fast hurd lers, while Snedlgar, formerly the cham pion sprinter at Berkeley, Is a swift man In the short runs. Christie a Knocker. Snedlgar Is one of Walter . Chrlstle'a proteges, and when Pan Kelly made his record of 9 S-fe at Spokane last June Christie was one of the first and loudest knockers of the anvil chorus proclaiming from the housetops that Kelly was not capable of running In 10 seconds and that Snedlgar was the fastest splinter on the Coast. It must have been rather humiliating to Christie when he saw Jack Holman, a Portland lad who Is attending Stanford, show his heels to this renowned man Snedlgar In the Olympto-Stanford meet pf last week. Holman won an easy race from the Olympic man In the com paratively slow time of 10 1-6. "Dad" Moulton believes he has a comer in young Holman and there Is every reason to believe, that ha will be running In 10 flat by the end of another season. A meet between Oregon and Olympic would give Kelly a chance to run with Snedlgar. Oregon has two other sprint ers Moores and Huston who would make things mighty Interesting for the Callfornlan, any statements from Chris tie to the contrary notwithstanding. If the Olympic aggregation Is taken on by Oregon, Charley Parsons, the speedy man from Southern California, may accom pany the team to Eugene. Kelly and Parsons are, regarded as among tbe fast est men In America today, and a raoe between these fleet-footed lads would prove a great drawing card. Despite the fact that the meet with Stanford has been called off, Oregon still has a very Interesting schedule, and some chances to display the full strength of her team. The Euireno athletes will hold dual meets with Pullman and Corvallls, and posslhly Whitman and will go to Prattle for the big Oregon-Washington-Idaho meet on June 1. From the showing mnde at the Columbia meet last Satur day. It Is evident that Oregon has a von. diM'fnlly strong team. Hayward has not yet developed any first-place men for the 440-yard dash and mile run. but he has two promising men In Reed and Piatt, while Woods, the half-mile man. Is a runner of great promise. Oregon did not really have an oppor tunity to show the full strength of her team at the Columbia meeet for the low hurdle race; the discus throw and the hammer throw were not on the pro gramme. With a full list of events and all her men In fighting trim, Oregon could make things Interesting for many of the teams of the East and Middle West. Kelly, Moores, Hug, Zacharlas and MrKlnney are men that can win points in any meet. Everybody knows Kelly and knows what he can do. Moores a Good Man. Next to this fleet-footed champion. Moores is probably the fastest sprinter In the Kprthwest. He Is also a good man In the hurdles. as Is Kuykend-lt, his running mate. McKtnney promlses to break the Coast record in the shot-put before the season ends, and Zacharlas and Hug will be heard frem In the hammer-throw. At the present time Oreson looks like a winner as far as the Northwest is concerned, but Wash ington and Pullman are both figuring on handing a lemon to the Eugene lads. Washington made a fine, showing at the recent Indoor meet at Seattle, and Pull man Is turning out a number of very clever track athletes. These men will have to hurry, however. If they overtake the speedy Oregon bunch. Corvallis still has her reliable distance runners. DeVolt and Greenhaw. The "Agtties" have a promising high Jumper In Chapman and a first-class vaulter In Swann, but beyond this quartet the Cer vallisites have no first-place men. There are some promising youngsters on "Dad" Tritie's teuvn. however, and by another season they will worry their Eugene rivals. The State University will lose a number of its best athletes when the class of 190? graduates, and, unless Hay. ward has some surprises In store, he will have to work hard to down the Ag ricultural College team next year. Washington has several promising freshmen, besides a majority of her point winners of last year. Trainer Conlbear la enthusiastic over Washington prospects and believes he has a fighting chanco to down Oregon. Conlbear recently expressed his opinion In regard to the sprinting ability of Dan Kelly. Ha considers Kelly nothing more than "a good ten second man," and adds that Parsons is faster than the Oregon sprinter. The efforts of rival trainers to belittle Kelly are rather amusing. In spite of tha knockers Kelly keeps on winning his GERMANS BUILDING 14 YACHTS New Vessels Are Designed to Com pete Against American, Boats. The Eastern Yacht Club, of Boston, has received Information from - Germany, through Commander H. G. Hebblnghaus. German naval attache at Washington, to the effect that 14 boats are being built there In the Sonder class, for .the trials to be held during Kiel week, the last in June, to select a team of three boats to meet the Americans in the International match beginning August 26, at Kiel, for the Emperor William cup. The Germans expect 30 entries in the trials, an unprecedented number. En thusiastic Interest Is felt in the preparar tlons for the match, which are proceeding along lines approved by the Emperor. Last season the Germans built no boats for the match off Marblehead for the Roosevelt cup, but sent three from their existing fleet. They learned much front their defeat, and on their return home took with them as gifts from their Ameri can competitors, the lines of the three American boats against which they had sailed, as well as a suit of American ANOTHER G M IS LOST BY BEAVERS Oakland Is Consistent in Plac ing Weil-Directed Hits at Critical Moments.

The good points of these lines and sails have been studied carefully by the German designers and sallmakers. On this side six boats are known to be build ing for the trials to select the American team, which will be sailed off Marblehead beginning June 10.

The fact is that Pat was not there any too strong. He made two wide pega to the base, one of them letting In a run and the other being responsible. for one that tallied a little later. Oakland played rattling good baseball, especially at the bat. and therefore the runs were quick to eome in for them. They found Schimpf easily after his field ers had erred many times behind htro. The Beaver slabster was found for nine safe drives, but at that he pitched far better ball than the score would indicate. Portland started out with two hits. A wild pitch Immediately followed and it looked rosy for the Northerners with tow on bases and nobody down. But Van Haltren threw Shlnn out at the plate after capturing Casey's" long fly. thus making a double play and putting the Northern hosts aside for awhile. Portland could score only In tha second and seventh Innings, when good hitting, as sisted by a- couple of errors, put two runs through. The Commuters took the lead In tbe second and held it through out. - Pat Newman threw his ahoulder out While stealing second in the second spasm. After a doctor examined him it was announced that Newman could not play for at least a month or six weeks and It may be longer.

Famous Bull Terrier, One of Best of His Breed, Will Be Taken East. Price Not Revealed. Frank B. Watklns has sold his Cham plon bull terrier Edgecote Peer, one of the best bull terrier dogs in the United States, to W, K. Kendrlck, a Phila delphia fancier. Mr. Kendrlck was Judge of the dog show In New York and Phila delphia of last February and when he saw Edgecote Peer, whom Mr. Watklns shipped East to take part in the Phila delphia bull, terrier show, he at once began negotiations for the purchase of Peer. Mr. Watklns at first refused to put a price on bis bench-show winner, but when Mr. Kendrlck made him. his last offer it was at such a price that Mr. Watklns eould not resist. The pur chase price is not given, at the request of Mr. Kendrlck. Edgecote Peer was shipped yesterday to his new owner. Since Mr. WatRtns has owned this wonderful bull terrier he has captured all of the bull terrier prizes that have been offered at all of the -bench shows held on the Coast. Mr. Watklns did not send Peer to tbe East em shows until last February, but all the Judges that had awarded champion ships to the dog begged the owner to enter Peer in the big shows of New York and Philadelphia. Mr. Watklns finally secured a handler whom he eould trust hla valuable" dog with and entered Peer in the bull terrier show held at Phila delphia, with the result that ha beat every dog In the show. One of the Judges that awarded Peer tke Philadelphia prise was Mr. Kendrlck, and the fact that Peer was a Portland product caused the Eastern bull terrier fanciers to sit up and take notice. Mr. Watklns yesterday in epeaklng of selling tbe dog said: "I had made up my mind never to sell Peer, but he was a fighter and a dog that could not be trusted with a kennel keeper. I was not situated so that f could care for htm myself. He was too valuable to take any chances with, and when Mr, Kendrlck made me the very flattering offer for the dog I deemed it best to sen him. Mr. Kendrlrk Is a man of considerable wealth and has a fine kennel of bull terriers, so I am satis fied that Peer will not only have a good home, but he will be given a chance at the big shows, a thing that X eould not have given him. I have two dogs that have been whelped to him Iris', my new dog, and Oregon Sunshine 1& Peer will be represented In Portland by his family.'' Australian Pugilist Arrives in San Francisco THE much vaunted Australian pu gilist, Bill Squires, arrived on the steamer Ventura in San Francisco shortly after 8 o'clock Wednesday morning. At first sight, says a San Francisco sporting writer. Squires is not very impressive, as he is much shorter In stature than our heavy weight fighters. But he has remark ably broad shoulders, a powerful chest and lopg arms. Reynolds, his manager, claims that squires In Australia is re garded as having an ldwal fighting fig ure. Said Reynolds: "Over there we like a man who car ries himself like Bob .Fltzslmmops, a slinkey man, who slouches and who swings his arms like a gorilla when he walks. We have no use for a man who stands up straight, like Jack O'Brien, for instance, as though he were posuig." Reyiolds went on to Bay: "We had a fine trip over, a bit slow to be sure, but as Squires was sick only two. days out we heartily enjoyed the voyage. "When wo left Australia Squires weighed about 17s pounds, and I do not think he has lost any weight on tne trip over. I have been given to understand that some time today we will receive an ofTer to fight Burns. But we will not under any circum stances consider offers of any kind for at least two or three days. -We intend to go to some country place near by and lay up until Squires has gotten rid of his sealegs. We were under the Impression that we would not be of fered a match until after the Burns' O'Brien battle at Loe Angeles." Here Squires interrupted to- say that In Australia he was always in condi tion and ready to take on a man at a day's notice. As this was his first long sea trip he thought that he s'hould be allowed at least seven or eight weeks In which to condition himself. "If this is the kind of weather you always have." continued the fighter, "I shall have no trouble in getting into condition, as the climate is very much like the sort we have, bright and sun shiny, with the air eool. We thought, of course, from the reports In Australia that we would run Into a fog bank 50 miles out from San Francisco and that we would have to And our way through it all the time that we were here. You can say for ma that as soon as I have had that seven or eight weeks of rest I will be ready to take on either Burns or O'Brien. Squires Impresses one as being? a man who would not quit unfier pun ishment. He has clear eyes, a good broad forehead and has too much the appearance of Jeffries to be a quitter. Manager Reynolds ts a stout, affable little man, who does not make any great claims or his protege, but as serts that they simply want the op portunity to do some real fighting and prove to the American people that their contention as to Squires' ability is not jf-pv -jNr- 4 " ' 1 - - '; X- VV B1IX 8QUD1ES. without a foundation. Both men ap peared to be rather surprised at the interest they have created, and while undergoing the ordeal of being snapped by the host of newspaper photogra phers Squires seemed very much em barrassed, squires, for a pugilist, has remarkably regular features and shows little of the marks that a fighter with out service always bears. On the whole, the impression created by' these two visitors is very favorabla. They carry themselves like gentlemen and seem to be here for business. SAY GOING TO BUY AN AUTO THIS YEAR? If you are, you will unquestionably want your money to buy you as much value as it is possible for you to get. Now, you may of may not know all about Automobiles, but. whether you do or not, you are a man of discriminating in telligence, and can tell something about the quality of anything when you look at it. "We want you to look at the Mitchell Automobile, examine its con struction and make-up and read the letters from dealers all over, the United States reflecting the satisfaction these cars have given to hundreds of gentle men who are using them. THEY ALL SAY: There's $500 to $1000 more value in a Mitchell than in any car of its price. v THEY ALSO SAY: There's as much value as in another car pricing $500 to $1000 (and . some say $2000) higher. - You say, How is it? How can it be? Simply this: FIRST. Shop methods wMchadmit of the production of the greatest . value at the minimum of cost. , SECOND. No connection with the trust of licensed' makers: a combina tion to license each other, to make an exorbitant price on their product. THIRD. A disposition to be satisfied with a reasonable and legitimate profit. If you pay more than the price of a Mitchell, you throw just that much money away. If you pay less, -you don't get the kind of a car you ought to have. The Mitchell is absolutely "the car you ought to have, at the price you ought to pay." Demonstrations freely and cheerfully given. Book your order now and get in line for the next one that comes in that is not already sold. Kemember. the number we can get from the factory this year is limited. Get in before they are all gone.

Ia Spite of Duty, Purchases of Cars Built in the United States Are Largo. Tpough tha demand for domestic au. tomobiles is far in excess of the sup ply, the situation for manufacturers is becoming; mora complicated because of the tremendous demand for ears made in the United States on tbe part of purchasers in botn Canada and Mex ico. Until recently Canadians seemed to prefer machines built abroad, and the demand in Mexico was very limited, but in the past year a phenomenal de gree of prosperity has obtained across both borders, and the people of means appear to be determined to Invest in automobiles rather than In railroad stocks, aa has been the ease with so many of tbe citizens of Unole Sam's domain. American cars have proven their adaptability to the roads of both Can ada and JJexico, and promoters of min ing and agricultural enterprises have discovered the value of possessing a motor car as a substitute for the un certain railroad schedules in districts where the population is none too com prehensive. Of course there is the duty to con sider, and customs inspectors have been instructed to make a vest pocket search for automobiles and other ma chinery, but even In the face of the addi tional duty, Canadian and 'Mexican auto mobile buyers persist in doing business in the motor marts of the United States. The "Wayne Automobile Company, of Detroit, has sold a large proportion of the American cars now in use in Can ada, according to Jess S. Draper, gen eral sales manager for the Detroit firm. The Wayne Company baa been work ing up Canadian business for the past few years, and this year Is reaping tbe harvest. With agencies at Montreal, Toronto, Winnipeg and the Seattle rep resentatives handling the buslneee of British Columbia, the Wayne Company is in a position to supply and demon strate their machines in all portions of the Dominion. One of the interesting features of the Canadian trade Just now la the demand fop automobiles by the miners at Co balt, who recently came Into wealth by the silver strike In that vicinity. The miners are partial to tbe Wayne machines, Judging from the number sold to them by the International Automo bile Company, Ltd., Wayne agents at Toronto. "We have just received an order from a dairyman near Toronto for a Wayne chassis,'' said Mr. Draper yes terday. "It will be provided with a flat truck body for the purpose ef transporting milk cans from the coun try to tha market. This party has a Keeler Strikes Out Early This Teas' Willie Keeler this season followed in the footsteps of Dan Brouthers, the old time slugger, says the New Tork World. Brouthers was a hard man to strike out. and the pitchers always worked their best with that 'object in view. When Dan was with the Baltl- more club he was fanned by a college pitcher during the preliminary season, ending the constant speculation as to when the trick would be pulled off. Last season Keeler did not fan until late in the season. Ed Walsh, of tha Chicago White Sox, was the pitcher who sent Willie back to the bench by the strike-out route. A few days ago Pitcher Zeller, of the Atlanta team, fanned Keeler, and now all the twlrlers will not be pitching their sVms off for the glory of causing Willie to thrash the air. More than 2000 persons die of jneaslee in London every year. Established 28 Years In Portland. Are You a Perfect Man? If not, Be Well and Physically Strong. See us at once.
