THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, SEPTEMBER 22, 1907.
MULTNOMAH TO
PUT WISH NGT01
Early Season Game Scheduled
for October 12 on Local
Gridiron.
WILL BE BATTLE ROYAL
Outlook for Season of Splendid Sport
in Pacific Northwest Is Bright.
Many Contests Already
Scheduled.
BY REFEREE.
Football enthusiasts of the Rose
' City will have an opportunity to see
one of the best college teams of the
Pacific Northwest play an early season
game with Multnomah's grldiroa war
riors this year. The fast team of the
University of Washington is scheduled
to appear here on October 13. and If
Indications count for anything the
game will be a lively one. Washington
has already settled down to hard work,
and by another fortnight will he In
good-playing form. Coach Place la op
timistic over Washington's prospects,
nd will come to Portland with the
view of lowering Multnomah's colors.
Regular practice has been going on
at Washington since last Monday, and
enthusiasm Is running high. Captain
Bagshaw has a squad of 40 men at
work, and thre are ao many promising
candidates that Coach Place and Train
er Conlbear will have some difficulty
In selecting a varBlty. line-up for the
Multnomah game. Nearly every mem
ber of last year's eleven Is In college,
and there are a number of freshmen
who look good to the coaches.
Jay Slgsworth, a guard of the days
of 1902 and 1903, has returned to col
lege, and Grlmsn, the crack freshman
end of two years ago. Is also back.
Grimm will be remembered as the
man who played end for the Seattle
Athletic Club In the game against
Multnomah last year. It was he who .
made the touchdown on the memorable
forward pass that enabled the Seattle
men to win the game. Altogether,
-OV&shlngton's prospects are brighter
than they have been since the days of
Speldell, Slgrlst, Lantz and McElmon.
These men all played here In the
Fall of 1903 when Multnomah beat
Washington by a single touchdown,
with less than two minutes to play.
Washington had a crack team that
year, winning the college champion
ship of the Pacific Northwest. Since
that season no game has been played
with Multnomah, so the match on Oc
tober 12 will be something of an In
novation. Incidentally It will give the
local football critics an opportunity to
compare Washington with the teams
of Oregon and Idaho, and to figure out
championship possibilities. '
The Oregon-Idaho game Is scheduled for
October 26, on Multnomah field. It will
be one of the big games of the season
In the Northwest.
M. A. A. C. to Practice Today.
- Candidates for the Multnomah eleven
will begin work this morning, under the
direction of Captain Frank Lonergan. The
clubmen have their work cut out for
them if they hope to defeat the Btalwan
sons of Washington with less than three
weeks' practice. Lonergan announces
that hard practice will be the order of the
day, and those who are familiar with
Multnomah's football history know that
the local clubmen will not go into the
coming game unprepared. Most of the
veterans of last season will be in the
harness again, and there will be a num
ber of new players of considerable worth.
Multnomah will play Whitman College,
at Walla Walla, pn Friday, October 25,
and Spokane Athletic Club, at Spokane,
on November 9. Willamette University
win come to, Portland on November 16,
and Oregon on Thanksgiving day. Spo
kane's return frame will be played on
Multnomah field on Christmas day, but
the New Year's date is still open. It Is
possible that Seattle will finally come to
time and accwt Multnomah s proposition
cor a game on tnat date.
TJ. of W. lo Play W. S. C
By far the most Important announce
ment that has emanated from North
west college circles for some time Is
the news of a re-establishment of ath
letlc relations between the University
of Washington and the State College
of Washington. These two state schools
have not met on the gridiron since
1903. Trouble between . them began
years ago, and bad feeling existed for
some time prior to theyrupture of ath
letic relations. Charges and counter
charges of unsportsmanlike conduct
were hurled back and forth from one
school to the other until the dlsln
terested public became thoroughly dis
gusted with the situation.
The real cause of the breaking off
- of relations between Washington and
Pullman originated in Washington's
objection to the playing of preparatory
or sub-freshman students on the Pull
man team. These difficulties have all
been smoothed over and arrangements
have been made for the playing o s
football game in Seattle November 21,
College men and followers of college
athletics all over the Northwest rejoice
at this news, as it means much to the
athletics of this section. Northwest
athletes are beginning to realize that
newspaper wrangles, post-season
squabbles and Irresponsible bickerings
are things that should be avoided. .
Both Washington and Pullman have
flattering- football prospects for the
coming season, and the game of No
vember 21 will have an important
bearing upon the Northwest champion
ship situation.
Teams Settling Down to Work.
The coming week will be an important
one among the colleges of the Northwest.
Oregon, Pullman, Willamette, Pacific and
Idaho will all begin the work of early sea
son practice. Coach Norcross will arrive
In Corvallia this week and will make prep
arations for the calling out of his men
early next week. Whitman has already
followed Washington's example and has
settled down to hard work.
Coach Gordon B. Frost and Captain G.
C. Moo res will direct the-first work out of
the Oregon candidates at Eugene tomor
row afternoon. Word comes from Eu
gene that the Incoming freshman class
will bring a number of likely players from
different parts of the state.
Conspicuous among these will be
"Chuck" Taylor, captain of last year's
team at the Hill Military Academy. Tay
lor made a great reputation as an aca
demic player, and his work at Oregon
will be watched with interest. Oregon'
first game will be with Pacific University,
at Eugene, on October 19. The Oregon-
Idaho game will undoubtedly cause coach
Frost a little worry. Idaho has nearly
every member1 of last season's eleven,
while Oregon has lost five of her best
men.
Albany's determination to put out a
football team is worthy of commendation.
The smaller colleges of the Valley, such
as Albany, Newberg, Monmouth, Dallas
and McMinnville, have material for good
teams. .They cannot be expected to cope
successfully with Oregon, Corvallis and
Multnomah, but they occupy a position
somewhere between the academic team
enough of these small colleges to form l
a league ef their own. Albany has set
a good example for the other colleges to
follow. It is refreshing to note that the
athletic authorities at Albany have an
nounced that none but bona fide students
will be permitted to play on the team.
Portland Academy to Play.
The announcement that Portland Acad
emy students will be permitted to play
football again this year has brought Joy
to the hearts of the students and alumni
of that Institution. For several years
PoTtland Academy won the local lnter
scholastic championship and turned out
players who afterwards made themselves
famous as members of college elevens.
With Portland Academy, Hill Academy.
Columbia, East Side High School and
West Side High School in the field, the
academic league should see some mighty

KELLY MAY .COME HOME
PIANS ARE NOT YET DEFINITE
LY ARRANGED.
Possible That He Will Take One or
Two Years More at University
of Oregon.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene,
Or., Sept.. 21. (Special.) It Is not un
likely that Dan Kelly will return to
the University of Oregon for another
year of work, or perhaps two. That
he has definitely decided to remain In
the Bast Is not true, and It will likely
be a week before his plans for the com
ing school year are definitely made.
A letter written to one of his college
friends here Is the authority for the
foregoing statement.
Dan feels his defeat keenly, and seems
to think that his Oregon friends are
deeply disappointed here over his failure
to win after the encouraging showing he
made while training in Oregon. Though
it was a disappointment to the admirers
of Kelly and those who sent him to
Jamestown that he did not make the
showing that his record would Justify, no
body is "sore over the matter here, nor
has confidence In the Western runner
been lessened by the fact that Kelly did
not get a place in the dashes.
Kelly has not made any public state
ment as to why he did not win, and his
letter to his friend being altogether con
fidential shows exactly his feelings and
tils disappointments at the same time
giving a straightforward account of why
he lost. When he left Eugene he was in
fine condition and tipped the scales at 160
pounds. On the first day of bis arrival
at Jamestown he ran the 100-yard dash In
9 4-5 seconds. For the first five days the
heat was intense, and at night was still
more oppressive. Kelly says that he got
hold of some bad water that made him
sick, and by the day of the races he had
fallen off nine pounds and felt very weak.
He entered the races at 151 pounds In
stead of 160, his normal running weight.
He says:
"In both my test and final heats I out-
started the bunch and led them easily
for the first 50 yards or so, but my legs
gave out and my strength would not last
me through' the race. In the 220 trial
heat I got third in 23 seconds straight
away. I ran well tor 200 yards, but
couldn't finish first.
"I won the broad jump simply on my
nerve, as I had fair speed for the dis
tance I had to run. If It were neoes
sary to run 15 feet further In the
jump I would not have been able to
Jump."
There Is no complaint about any
thing In the letter, but Kelly's dlsap.
polntment In not being able to satisfy
the hopes of his friends in Oregon is
pathetic. -He does not say anything
about running In the future, and his
plans are altogether for the completion
of his education, about which he Is
very serious. His many friends In the
University and Eugene would welcome
him back to college and would be glad
to let him know that their confidence
Is not shaken nor their admiration
lessened In him.

HE 10 CLUBS
One of the Features Talked
About in Connection With.
Next Year's Plans.
FOUH. CLUBS NOT ENOUGH
Los Angeles Planning for Team at
Pasadena and to Stay In Iagne
Portland May Support a
Team at Vancouver.
BY Mf. J. PBTHAIN.
When the San Francisco Baseball Club
arrives here Tuesday morning for the
opening of the last week of baseball In
this city for the season of 1907 they will
be' accompanied by either J. Cal Ewlng,
principal owner, or Danny Long, secre
tary. One of these baseball promoters
and possibly both may be coming to
Portland to "talk It over" with Judge W.
W. McCredle and his nephew, Walter,
relative to plans for next season, at
which cosference the proposition to ex
tend the circuit to six or more clubs will
no doubt be advanced.
The present four-club circuit has not-
been as successful as was anticipated. AH
the olubs, however, have made money.
Even the Portland club, which has en
joyed the last position in the race since
the inaugural games were played, has
cleaned up a few shekels, but a goodly
portion of this profit is tied up In the
defunct Oregon Savings & Trust, Com
pany's bank. This misfortune is being
looked squarely in the face by the Mc
Credies, and will not figure one lota In
their plans for next season. They will
affiliate with California again as in the
past, and this Is an absolute fact, for
there is no chance of the Portland club a
being wafted to another organization as
long as W. W. and Walter H. McCredle
are In control.
. Four Clubs Not Enough.
Then comes the problem of arranging
next season's circuit. Four clubs have
been found to be Inadequate, and since
the California moguls have signally failed
to back up Judge McCredle in his plan
to hold Seattle, that city seems entirely
lost to the Pacific Coast League, for Dan
iel E. Dugdale is the power behind the
throne there, and will not countenance
anything that' Is likely to offset his ac
cumulation of the almighty dollar In
large quantities. "Dug" absolutely re
fuses to listen to any Coast League prop
osition, and, since he is the only mag
nate to be the gainer by the Lucas cir
cuit, he cannot be blamed to any great
extent. "Dug", is out for the coin, and
with a mediocre second-rate club, the
salary roll of which is hardly equal to
the money paid the pitching staff of the
Aberdeen club, he is getting It in large
bunches. "Dug" Is getting the money,
and it is because of the lack of foresight
on the part of the San Francisco-Oakland
combination that this league Is shut out
from again Invading the "Fat Seattle
Cherub's" domain.
Portland May Have Two Clubs.
The Pacific Coast League Is the National
circuit for this section of the country, and
the only drawback to the league Is the
excessive fares demanded by the railway
companies. These .,have become more
stringent than ever since the passage of
the railway rate law which preoludes a
reduction In fare to any body or organiza
tion when travelling through different
states.
Portland will remain in the Coast
League, and as a result, may be called
upon to support two clubs. Los Angeles
Is anxious for such an opportunity, and
has advanced the proposition of placing a
team in Pasadena, which Is expected to
do the. Oakland-San Francisco brother
act on Tuesdays and Sunday mornings.
Portland may do the same by St. John
or Vancouver, but the possibility of this
being the case will not be known definite
ly until J. Cal or Danny hold their con-

Messrs. Ewlng and Long desire Judge

not likely to be able to get away for

weeks ago Walter McCredle is engaged

The mistakes of 1906 will not be dis
played by the' Portland management for
the coming season, for now they are
after players and will not consider any
offers for any of the men now on the
club. , Donahue would have been drafted
and the management showed itself alive
to the situation by disposing of him before
the major leagues t could get action on
the player. Donahue will go to Boston
(Americans) and in exchange P'ortland
will receive two or three players who can
be depended upon to assist In the battle
for the honors next season.

Mention is made' above of the cheap
ness of Dugdale's team, and this remark

with an excellent chance for secona is
worthy of comment. The writer has
learned on excellent authority that the

on the Aberdeen team by 200 per month.
This is a remarkable statement but It Is

FOOTBAIL COACH AT UNIVER
SITY OF IDAHO.
. John R. Mlddleton, 06.
! MOSCOW, Idaho, Sept. 21. (Spe
1 clal.) John R. Mlddleton, head
eoach of the Idaho football team for
, x this year, is an Idaho graduate and
'a player of marked ability. He played
I quarterback on the varsity eleven

' 1004 and 190S, being captain ef the
I team during his senior year. He was
, generally given a place on the AH
1 Northwest selections for 1903.
and the same source adds that the Seattle
club is the cheapest team In the league.
Dugdale Is a sly old fox and manages
to work In a clever, heady catcher who
Is placed at the receiving end for young
pitchers and with young players round
ing out the team, he manages to keep a
place in the race.
This is emphasized by a glance at the
number pi players the fat man has every
year, syvhile In Portland he used some
thing Tike 42 players, and Is said to have
exceeded this number at Seattle this
year.- As soon as a young phenom com
mences to weaken under the strain. Dug
Immediately replaces him with another
importation,' and by this means he Is not
nut to any great expense.
Aberdeen is not to be placed In the
Northwest League next season, for that
town is not to be represented If Dugdale
and Lucas can help themselves, and as
these two men have absolute sway in the
league, the dismissal of the Grays Harbor
town Is assured.

"Dug" has become displeased because
this little solace on the seacoast has seen
fit to Import high-class players, has as.
sembled together a team which has
handed the Seattle team several large
doses of bitter defeat, and Incidentally
occupies ' the first position in the league
and promises to win the pennant with
ease. Dugdale would like to see Portland
In the Northwestern, and so would Lucas,
but, as Portland likes neither Mr. Dug
dale nor Mr. Lucas, the conclusion is
obvious that the fond dreams of the Seat
tie sage and his grab-all partner and'
figurehead leader of the league, will not
materialize, for Portland is unalterably
opposed to Mr. Lucas, remembering the
season of 1901-2.

WHERE IS PORTLAND
Rose City Ignored in Amateur
Association Meeting.
,
SEATTLE TAKES OFFICERS
T. Morris Dunne Chosen Vice-President
as Salve to Multnomah.
Question as to Eliglbil-:
ity of , Inglis. -
BY W. J. PETRATN.
Our gracious friends in amateurdom
over Seattle way, who usually raise their
hands In ply horror at anything sug
gested by the Multnomah Club, of Port
land, that even tends toward monopoliz
ing athletics In this vicinity, recently held
a meeting which was said to be the Pa
cific Northwest Amateur Athletic Asso
ciation. Where any other place but Seatle was
represented In the meeting' can hardly
be discerned when . one scrutinizes ' the
list of officials given out, for there Is
hardly an evidence that any one from
Spokane, Tacoma, Portland or any other
place not a suburb of the Puget Sound
metropolis was present or even repre
sented. '
In order to salve the Multnomah Club,
T. Morris Dunne is mentioned as having
been chosen vice-president, whatever that
Is. No one In Portland has the slightest
recollection of ever having heard of a
vice-president of the Pacific Northwest
Amateur Athletic Association, but per
haps Seattle has. and on that account
we'll have to accept the magnanimous
gift of this position and be happy over
such a signal recognition of our faithful
ness In athletics.
The Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club,
of Portland, Or., took upon Itself to send
Forrest Smlthson to the Jamestown Ex
position to show the Fast that Portland
and the Northwest was an active faotor
In amateurdom, and the Fast was shown.
Multnomah's praises were sung through
out the country, as well as the praises- of
the Olympic Club, of San Francisco. How
ever, Multnomah's activity In athletics
seems to cut little or no ice in a P. N.
A. A. A. meeting, especially when such
meetings are held under the auspices of
the Seattle Athletic Club, for that in
stitution elected Al Goldsmith president
to succeed H. H. Holzell, of Spokane, and
chose Will Inglis secretary. Both men
represent the Seattle Athletic Club, and
they hold the only real positions of
prominence In the asociatlon. Goldsmith
Is a good man. He has been active in
athletics for a long time, and Is entitled
to recognition. But the selection of Inglls
Is not pleasing to the local clubmen.
Will Inglls Is a good fellow -and all
that, and Incidentally he may fill the po
sition of secretary most acceptably, but
that Is not the point at issue. Inglls is,
and for some time past has been employed
by the Seattle Athletic Club, and there
fore is not, strictly speaking, an amateur.
and really Is not entitled to hold office
in the representative organization of ama
teur athletic in this section of the coun
try. According to the Multnomah men,
Inglls holds a position In the Seattle
Club similar to that held by Superlnten
dent Woodward, at Multnomah, and
neither of them are said to have any
voice In regulating athletics In the two
Institutions. -
Edgar Frank, director of Indoor sports
at the Multnomah Club, left last night
for Seattle, where he will arrange for the
coming interclub series of boxing and
wrestling tournaments between Multno
mah and Seattle.
Before leaving. Director Frank ex
pressed himself as highly pleased with
the outlook, and anticipates the most
successful interclub series of matches in
the history of the two organizations. Much
Interest is being taken at the clubs In
these two branches of sports this season,
and some good events should be In order.
The classes of Boxing Instructor Fred
Rennlck and Wrestling Instructor Joe
Acton are rapidly filling to their capac
ity, and both experts are kept busily en
gaged In teaching self-defense in the two
most practicable arts.
The Multnomah Club is also preparing
earnestly for the approach of the basket
ball season, when the speedy sons of the
winged "M" will, meet their oldtlme foes
from the Young Men's Christian Associa
tion In the annual struggle for supremacy
at this most active of indoor sports. In
addition to the Y. M. C. A. players, a
new factor Is likely to be noticed In the
oomlng struggle for the championship
honors, for the East Side Athletic Club
promises to shy Its castor Into the arena
and to make the aspirants for the title
hustle to ' win or retain tae honors now
in their possession.
Multnomah will have several of the old
men in line again, but will also have
some new and highly 'promising material
on hand to assist the veterans. Basket
ball enjoyed unparalleled popularity last
season, and promises to attract even more
attention during the coltiing season.

Good Raw Material for Football

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Cal., Sept.
21. (Special.) Stanford's football men
have been In suits a little over a week
now and the coaches and fans are begin
ning to obtain a line on them. All of
last year's varsity men are playing their
usual brilliant game. There are seven
veterans back In college this Fall Cap

leaves eight men to be developed to fill
the places of the varsity players who did

The most conservative men in Oregon are taking the most active
interest in Oregon's great gold dredging industry as represented by
the Western Exploration & Dredging Co. Not a point has been left
to clear up. Every detail of the undertaking the men back of it
the condition of the gold fields, the estimated output is laid plainly
before the public. The Burnt River Valleys are known to be rich in
gold sands and nuggets the U. S. Geologic report establishes their
riches, and our tests confirm them.
" The tremendous profits from dredging are arousing thinking in
vestors, and money is fairly flowing in.
The dredge will positively garner every grain of gold in the gravel.
In California the dredge has extracted more gold from the tailings
and old deserted mines made famous in the 49 's than was taken out
originally.-
The great capitalists are gaining control of dredging land and
installing dredges in many rich gold fields; such men as Charles M.
Schwab, James Gayley, Henry Oxnard, the Guggenheims, all see
the unmatched opportunities of the dredge and put their millions
into it, knowing that greater millions will be the reward.
This is one of the investment opportunities to which poor (and
ultra conservative) men will point in later years and say: "And
just to think, I could have bought that stock in 1907 for 25 cents
a share 1" It will seem almost unbelieveable, like the tales of Bell
telephone stocky once hard to give away, and later worth thousands
per share. Or of certain well-known mining stocks turned over on
a wood bill, that later made the wood-dealer worth close to the
$100,000 mark. The greatest fortunes in the world have been made
in gold mines, and still greater yet to be made will come from oper
ating the gold dredge.
Don't'be a drudging doubter J A suspicious skeptic!
Don't allow prejudice to cause you to lose this magnificent oppor
tunity. Merely because you've heard of a man or know a man who lost
money in mining stock you should not be hindered from making a
good investment. u
Statistics show that 85 per cent of all business ventures fail,
while less than 38 per cent of mining ventures are a failure ; yet
