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. -

TEAM PROSPECTS NOT BRIGHT
Coach Hahn, However, Will Begin
Active Work at Once.
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-

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.

FAIR ENDS WITH
11 MUSICAL FE2T

Soon Workmen Begin to
Remove Exhibit.
FINE STOCK BEST FEATURE

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.
