THE SUNDAY ORiSGONIAN, PORTLAND, SEPTEMBER 22, 1907. 3 COLLEGE ATHLETES ft ASSOCIATION Leading Educational Institu tions of Pacific Northwest Included. CONVENTION IS CALLED Delegates' Will Meet in This City Next November to Form Organ ization Need for It Is Very Pronounced. Representatives of the leading educa tional Institutions of the Pacific North west will meet in this city early In No vember for the purpose of organizing a Northwest lnter-collegiate athletic as sociation. There has been a genuine de mand for an organization of this kind for some time, especially since the ap plication of the University of Oregon for membership In the Pacific North west Association of Athletic Clubs was tabled last June. The formation of an, lnter-colleglate association was urged, however, before that, in these columns. Such an organization was suggested loo Cnfln kaiahall nloirAN fl m several of the Northwest colleges be gan playing baseball with semi-professional nines. Realizing that there Is a general de mand for a Northwest lnter-collegiate association, certain alumni of the Uni versity of Oregon have taken steps to ward its organization. Notices have been sent to the leading colleges of the Northwest asking that representatives be sent to a meeting in this city during the second week in November. Favor able replies have been received from Oregon, Washington, Whitman, Pullman and Willamette, and It Is thought that Idaho, Oregon Agricultural College and other Institutions will send delegates. C. N. McArthur, formerly manager of ahtletlcs at the University of Oregon, was instrumental in working up interest In the matter, and it was through his ef forts that letters were sent out to the different college presidents. Organization Badly Needed. "The Pacific Northwest Is sadly in need of an lnter-collegiate athletic league or conference," said Mr. McArthur, last evening. "At the present time the col leges of this section are not bound to gether by any kind of an association or organization. Their methods are alto gether too loose, and they are respon sible to no parent organization. Some of the colleges have rigid athletic stand ards; others have not. An association with the leading colleges of the North west on its membership roll could pre scribe a general system of eligibility rules, regulate schedules, decide dis putes and determine championships. Such an association should affiliate with the Amateur Athletic Union of the United States. "An association such as I have in mind was organized several years ago, but it failed to accomplish anything because It was too wide in Its scope and under took to do too much. The old association Included the Montana colleges and spread out over a vast area of territory. It was cumbersome, and fell to pieces through Its own weight. Unless the - contemplated association is or ganized along the right lines, history will repeat Itself. Plan Should Be Simple. "What we want is a well-regulated as sociation with a few simple rules and with no frills or red tape. Rules once adopted should be rigidly enforced. The question of semi-professional and 'brush league baseball should receive careful consideration. "The Pacific Northwest Association did right In refusing to accept Oregon's ap plication. College and club athletics should not be intermixed. There Is plen ty of room for the two organizations, as each has its own sphere. "The questions that naturally arise in colleges are quite different from those that arise in clubs, and vice versa. Per sonally I am interested in both branches of athletics, but believe that they should be managed independently." The presidents of a lumber of the Northwest colleges are outspoken In favor of the plans for a new association, and it is quite certain that the November meeting will be a thoroughly representa tive one. The dissolution of the old Oregon Inter collegiate Association makes the demand for the contemplated organization more urgent than ever before. PLAY TOWN-LOT BASEBALL Frakes Defeat Brewers in Game at St. John. In a town-lot game of baseball yester day afternoon on the St. John grounds, the Frakes. of the Tri-City League, de feated the Brewers, of the same league, 10 to 2. Two pitchers were used against the heavy-hitting Milliners, but both slab artists fared badly and received their bumps in proper shape. Concannon, formerly one of the Woodburn Indians, was on the firing line for three innings, then suddenly took a trip heavenward. Jack Helser deemed it .time to send the Infant prodigy back to cold storage, and Charley Ray was put on the hill. The "Old Hoss" fared still " worse, and was touched up for seven hits In six innings. Pender, who did the slab work for the Milliners, pitched a steady game, and should have been credited with a shut out. The poor work of his teammates, however, marred the performance. . St. John, which was scheduled to play Kelso at Kelso yesterday forfeited the game by not appearing on the field. The Apostles could not get their team to gether, and decided not to make the trip. This afternoon, the Frakes will play two games with the Cubs, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Im mediately after the last Frakes game, the Cubs will play St. John. The Brew ers will play two games with Kelso at Kelso this afternoon. As the pennant race now stands, the Frakes are one game ahead of the Tigers, but this one game Is uncertain, because of a protest filed by the St. John club that has not been ruled on. Should the decision be made In favor of the Milliners, they will have the rag, pro vided they win both games from the Cubs today. However, should the de cision be against the local team, then Kelso will stand on the same rung of the pennant ladder, provided the Bengals capture the doubleheader from the Brew ers. From past performances, )t looks as If the Frakes and Tigers would take a game each today. Football at Weston Normal. WKSTON, Or., Sept. 21. (Special.) The Weston Normal football team has been organized with promising mate rial; and Is now In active practice for a game with Walla Walla High School, October 5. Claud Clark was elected manager and A. J. Castillo captain. A number of old players are back, and there are also some husky new re cruits. Both boys and girls will or ganize basketball teams. WILL PLAV KELSO TOMORROW Portland Balltossers to Meet Tigers in Their Lair. . Weather permitting and Bre'r Beals' forecast is favorarie, the Portland ball tossers will visit the hustling little town of Kelso, Wash., tomorrow and play that long talked of game with the Kelso Tigers. The Portland team, including the new players, will cavort on the dia mond at Kelso and the fans of the Wash ington town will bave an opportunity to see McCredie's men In action. Monday Is an offday among the Coasters, and Judge W. W. McCredle, being a Washington Jurist, decided to grant the Kelso people the game they were asking for. Long Bobby Groom asked some time ago" to be allowed to pitch the Kelso game if he played, and his wishes will likely be granted. The Kelso fans seem quite anxious that the name of Pitcher Errickson. shall not be connected with their club, or at least such an Impression Is given by the fol lowing In the Kelsonlan. a daily paper published In the Washington town: Today's Orcgonlan In giving the lineup of the Tigers and McCredie's balltossers for the game at this place next Monday, September 16, gave the names of Erlck son and Chevalier as the pitchers. The name of Errickson was not given the reporter as pitcher for the Tigers, only the names of Hull and Chevalier being mentioned. Why Hull's name, Kelso's old reliable pitcher, should have been omitted and the name of Errickson sub stituted we do not know. Errickson has not yet arrived in Kelso and may not come, though he is expected. The sporting editor of The Oregonian obtained the Information that Errickson was to pitch for Kelso from the posters heralding the game, which were pub lished by the Kelso people themselves, and one of which was shown The Ore gonian man by Judge McCredle. This should suffice. Kelso Is proud of her baseball team, and Indeed the team Justifies admiration. It will no doubt make a creditable show ing against McCredie's men. Some Kelso fans are enthusiastic enough to expect their team to defeat the Beavers. They may do so, but it is doubtful, for Port land really has a baseball team now. No revised lineup of the Kelso team has been received by The Oregonian. - AMERICAN LEAGUE. Philadelphia 6, St. Louis 0. PHILADELPHIA. Sept. 21.

PACIFIC UNIVERSITY, FOREST GROVE, Or., Sept. 21. (Special.) Archie Hahn will arrive Monday rrom the East to take charge of Pacific's football team. Coach Hahn has been in touch with the best tootball coaches In the United States, having been under Yost, the famous coach of Michigan. Although Pacific will have a well qualified coach, the material that he will have to work with will be none the best. Captain Harry Humphreys, of whom the -students and football en thusiasts were expecting much, will hot be In school this. year. Humphreys did star work for the team last year. There will be some good men to pick from, yet it takes time and work to build up a good team. The football schedule has not been entirely arranged, but It is probable that the University will meet the following schools the coming season: The Portland High School, at Forest Grove: Portland Academy,, at Forest Grove; Oregon, at Eugene; Oregon Agri cultural College, at Corvallis, and Willa mette University, at Salem. No one will be allowed to make the team whose standing In scholarship is not fully maintained. It has been the policy of the institution for several years that ath.etlcs and scholarship should go hand in hand. SHERLOCK HOLMES RECORD Wins Laurels From John S. at Salem Race Meet. BY WILL G. MAC RAE. SALEM, Or., Sept. 21. Sir John S., the crack California pacer, did not hold the Northwest pacing honors long for this afternoon, the king of two days was de throned, and now Sherlock Holmes Is king. Before a small Saturday crowd the sorrel son of Zolock, in the greater Salem consolation 2:09 pace, stepped the first heat of the race In 2:0614, lowering Sir John S.'s record by 1 second. The track was lightning fast, faster perhaps than on Thursday when Sir John S. made the new mark of 2:074. Another thing that helped make the sensational mark was the fact that no stiff breeze was blowing up the back stretch. Yet In spite of the favorable conditions which helped Sherlock Holmes, the horsemen who saw the race were of the opinion that had Sir John S. been in the race this afternoon, Mr. Vance's horse would have been beaten. , Sherlock Holmes was noteven consid ered a dangerous contender for the con solation, W. G. Durfee's Cope de Ore was the favorite and Bob Brady's Knlck Knack were looked upon as the conten ders. Mr. Fred Shaft, of Spokane, who owns Sherlock Holmes, was satisfied that his horse had not raced to his form In the greater Salem stake.' On that day he was driven by Frank Chllds. a "green driver, and the horse was not properly rigged. This afternoon Sherlock Holmes had Bob Walker up. He has a splendid grand circuit reputation, and the change resulted in - the horse lowering his pre vious record of 2:1114 by 4 8-4 seconds. Even after Walker had driven this record-smashing mile, some were still skep tical about him winning the race. Durfee, who confidently thought he had the race won, knew better after the first heat, but In spite of this he sent Cope de Ore after Sherlock Holmes in the two re maining heats. Even the second heat was paced in faster time than the record of Sir John S. The second race was an over-night affair for 2:20 trotters. Six were carded to start, but only three accepted the Issue. The race was won by Mike Duff in two straight heats. Second and third money was divided between Red Rock and Dr. McKlnney. In the first heat' Mike Duff made a new mark of 2:1914. In the four and one-half furlong scrom- i ble for horses that had not been In the money, the winner turned up in Eva N., Bill Short was second and Lady Bernato was third. The time was "yesterday." Phyz was the last race on the card and the meeting. Jackful was second and St. Alblns was third. Knocklns and Phyz I broke together and raced half of the way together, then Knocklns had enough ana St. Albins too hooked up with Phyz, but Mentry after getting left, made too much use of St. Alblns and the best he could do was to finish third. After the last race there was a scramble and a rush for home. Starting Judge and Assistant Judge Jefferies left at once for Spokane, where they wilt officiate during the next two weeks. Many of the harness horses that have raced here will first race at North Yakima and then go to Spokane where harness races will hold- the card during the last week.

THIBEAU WINS MARATHON Travels 25 Miles in Ten Seconds Over Three Hours. CHICAGO, Sept. 21. Alexander Thl beau, of the First Regiment Athletic Club, won the third annual Marathon race of the New Illinois Athletic Club this afternoon. His time was 3:00:10. Albert Corey, also of the First Regi ment, finished second in 3:06:25. Thirty-seven started on the long grind from Ravenna Park, 25 miles north of this city. The course was in fairly good condition, notwithstanding recent rains. BRIDE WDH BY BULLETS LOUIS SAPPLER'S ORIGINAL METHODS IN COURTSHIP. Hattie's Hard Heart Only Softens . When Both Are in Hospital, He Short an Eye. CHICAGO, Sept. 21. (Special.) Louis Sappier took out his new right eye and polished it until it fairly sparkled. It was a glass eye and Louis was rather proud of it. "She Is a match, Louis," said Hattle Meteckl, gazing first at Louis's good orb and then at the store one to ob serve the effect. Then the romance was out. The glass eye had won for Louis a bride in the person of Miss Meteckl, although he had to shoot her through the shoulder and blow out his own right eye to prove his devotion before she would accept him as her husband. Both have been patients in the South Chicago Hospital since August 25. On that fateful day Louis asked Hattie for the thousandth time to be his wife. He had' loved her for 15 years. "'I don't love you," said Hattie. "Why is it?" he demanded. "You got no romance," said Hattie decidedly, an she tossed her head and shrugged her shoulders, just as all the ladies did in the novels she had been reading. "I got a fine milk route and $600 in the bank. Which is better, yes, no?" Hattie curved her lipe in disdain, just as Lady Vere de Vere ,had done in the book. . Louis, who is very practical, there upon produced a $1.50 revolver and told her she would have him or nobody, and shot her in the shoulder. Believing he had killed her, he attempted to blow off his head, but only destroyed one eye. Relatives took them to the hos pital in the same ambulance, and, whtle convalescent, they patched it all up. Louis bought a new glass eye this morning and they were dismissed from the hlspotal and sprained their ankles racing for the nearest church. Hat tie's father has given them five acres of ground, a flock of ducks and his blessing and all is well. , WOULD KEEP PHILIPPINES DEWEV OPOSED TO SELLING SPOILS OP VICTORY. Has No Fear of Japan and Consid ers Islands Source of Strength, . Not Weakness. WASHINGTON. Sept. 21. Admiral Dewey is opposed to the sale of the Philippines. He does not believe that his famous battle of Manila Bay brought the United States a possession which for strategic or other reasons is to ise up to plague us. As chairman of the general board of the Navy, it Is Admiral Dewey's duty to plan to meet the eventualities of war. The progress of Japan and the exposed posi tion of the Philippines have caused some experts to say that. In the event of war,' those islands would be a source of weak ness. Admiral Dewey, viewing the ques tion from all points of view,, does not favor the withdrawal of the United States from the archipelago at this time. He is not prepared to discuss the measures adopted for the defense of the Philippines nor will he express any opinion concerning the movement of the battleship fleet to the Pacific, but he does say: "Hold the Philippines." He Is fear less of any Injurious consequences fol lowing American occupation and declines to give any serious consideration to pre dictions that Japan is so set upon obtain ing the Islands that, If necessary to get them, she will go to war. In an Interview today the Admiral sets out the reasons which Impel him to insist upon . the retention of the islands. The strong point of his argu ment is not based upon the military or naval importance of the Islands, but upon the great value, present and prospective, of the Philippines to America in the extension of our trade with the Orient. Mother and Baby Drowned. ST. . LOUIS. Sept. 21. A postal card was received here today from Iglau, con taining the Information that on Septem ber 3 Mrs. A. S. Wolf and her 3-year-old son were drowned In a river near Iglau. Mrs. Wolf was the wife of Dr. A. S. Wolf, a St, Louis physician.

FINE STOCK BEST FEATURE State Must Provide More Buildings Next Tear Baseball Games Great Drawing Card. Forest Grove Wins. SALEM, 6r., Sept. 21. (Special.) The greatest State Fair Oregon- ever held closed this evening with a musical enter tainment under the dirctlon of Dr. R. A. Heritage, dean of Willamette University college of music. The feature of the oc casion was a chlldrens' chorus of 50 voices, presenting the "Months and Sea sons." This final event of the Fair was at tended by a crowd that filled the large auditorium to the dors. The singing by the children was particularly well received and was warmly applauded. At midnight tonight the work of removing the ex hibits began and by tomorrow evening the fairgrounds will be almost deserted. So successful has the Fair been that many regrets are expressed that it did not continue for ten days. It may well be doubted, however, whether a longer exposition season would have been pro fitable, for the attendance today was comparatively small. All the people who wish to attend the Fair can come In one week and a longer fair would mean dis tribution of attendance over a larger period, or at best those who attend will be present a larger number of days and thus swell the gate receipts. The Fair has been highly successful from a financial standpoint and though statistics have not been computed. It Is quite certain that a larger surplus will be carried in the treasury when all bills are paid. Will Soon Need( More Room. , That the exhibit of horses, and especial ly draft horses. Is becoming the greatest feature of the fair. Is apparent to all, for both In number and quality there has been a rapid improvement in the last three years. The demonstration this year, by the decision of the judges, that Oregon-bred stallions and mares are su perior to the imported animals, Is likely to revive interest in horsebreedlng and thus tend to strengthen this, department of the fair. The construction of the 12 new livestock barns, each 200 feet long, and with four rows of stalls the length of each barn, has made the Oregon State Fair an attractive place for livestock men, for they now have assurance that ani mals brought here will not suffer from exposure or cold. That these barns were a good investment is universally agreed. A number of members of the Legislature who voted against the $20,000 special ap propriation last Winter have said since seeing these barns that they are glad the appropriation was made. The fair grounds are new excellently equipped, and if a "made-in-Oregon" building were added for the special dis play of Oregon manufactures, there would be little more to be done. Erection of such a building would relieve the main pavilion to some extent and afford more room there for displays of agricultural products. Though W. S. Savage, super intendent of the pavilion, has been able to arrange everything this year In splen did order, there will be In a year or two such an overcrowding that confusion will result, unless more room be provided. Forest Grove Boys Champions. One of the new features of the fair this year was the series of baseball games. Owing to the fact that a late start was made In planning the games, the schedule could not be followed, yet the four games were played, good sized crowds being present. If a series of baseball games were arranged and .advertised early, this would undoubt edly prove a great attraction. In the games played, Salem won first place by defeating Forest Grove by a score of 6 to 1, and Corvallis by a score of 3 to 1. Forest Grove defeated Wood burn by 2 to 1 and Corvallis defeated Woodburn 12 to 4. Thisleft Forest Grove and Woodburn tied for second place, so the teams from those towns played today, the Washington County team winning by 4 to 3. Corvallis ranks third and Woodburn fourth. Few Pickpockets Operate. Though a 1 dozen professional pick pockets came to Salem to operat at the fair, there have been less than half a dozen complaints of losses, and prob ably some of the reports came from men who lost money on the races and needed explanations. Sheriff' Culver has had two deputies at the fair all the time to aid the force of watchmen. Two pickpockets were arrested when In the act of "lifting." but the cases are not very strong against them and Alcohol Ask yUT doctor if a family medicine, like Ay ex's Sarsaparilla, is not vastly better without alcohol than with it.
