Newspaper Page TextTHE SUNDAY OKEGONIAN, PORTLAND, FEBRUARY 2, 1905. 7 WARM GQNTEST AT " Mill TNRMAH CI IIR WW I IIWIIIIIII WtaWW Annual Election of Directors February 11 With Two Tickets in Field. ATHLETES ARE BEHIND ONE Tlioy Vo .Not Indorse All Selections or Nominating Committee uiul ' "aino Candidates Favor able to Their Cause. The approaching annual election at the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club promises to be the most lively affair ot the kind In the history of Portland's famous athletic organization. Not in the last 10 years has there been as much Interest displayed in the event, and for that matter, neither has there been more than one ticket in the field. Among the athletic body of the in stitution, or to be exact, among the members who are actively engaged in athletics, there has been a growing: feeling that, the club is gradually drifting almost from athletics because of its social . tendencies, and on that account the athletes got together and decided to promulgate an opposition ticket to that named by the regular nominating board. It is customary, according to the by laws of the club, for the board of di rectors, of which there are 11, to name a nominating committee, and the duties of this committee arc to place in nom ination the required number c,f names to All the vacancies likely to occur at the annual election. Heretofore there have been but few instances when the names selected by the nom inating committee have been opposed at the election, and in the last 10 years there lias been no instance. The ath letes got together this year and rati fied three, of the regulars named by the nominating committee and selected three others more favorable to them to complete the ticket of six candidates for the directorate. The campa'ign that Is being waged for and against each ticket is one of the most strenuous that ever took place In any alhletlc or social club. The leaders oX the "regular" and "ath letic " tickets, as they are known, are working tooth and nail to accomplish the election of their respective candi dates, and it is safe to predict that on election night, February 11, there will be a larger attendance of the .club members than the institution has en joyed for many years. "Itegulars" Drop V. K. Walking. In an effort at reprisal the "regulars" sprang a surprise on the "athletes" yesterday, by dropping their advocacy of the nomination of Frank K. Watkins. ami instead have placed the name of Rev. A. A. Morrison on their ticket. Iir. Morrison was nominated by the "athletes." and so was Mr. 'Watkins, but in spite of the switch the cam paigners of the latter ticket express their utmost conlidence .in the election of their entire ticket. . As matters stand at present Ir. Mor rison will head both tickets, lie Is an earnest advocate of clean athletics and will undoubtedly prove a valuable- ad dition to the club directorate, no matter which ticket is successful. As the tickets stand at- present they are as follows; Regulars Dr. A. A. Morrison, George W. Simons, Irving Kohr, .1. F. Kwing, B. D. Sigler and llal Kasch. Athletic. Rev. A. A. Morrison. Frank K. Watkins, Martin Pratt. 1:. I . Sigler, l'an Bellinger am Hal Kasch. Among the names promulgated' on the athletic, ticket is that of Martin Pratt, who announces that he is not a candi date, but in spite of this denial, his . admirers arc confident that he will be elected, and. In that event, believe that he wiil accept. Pratt's evident desire that his name be not used by the ath letes is due to the fai t that ho was a member of the committee which nom v Innted the regular ticket and there fore he. is. not desirous of becoming a candidate, against one of the men whom he helped place in nomination. A question that will likely be decided at the meeting of the board of direct ors Tuesday night is whether the mem bers of the club yho merely hold ath letic membership cards are .entitled to vote at the' election. According to the bylaws of the club it is optional with the bOrtid of directors whether this per mission Is granted them or not, and in order to insure ' the success of their ticket, and also in justice to athletes who have worked faithfully for the club, an- effort ts being made to have this permission granted for the coming election. The principal precedent brought to bear on tho directors to secure this concession is the fact that II. W. Ker rigan, at the time lie was chosen director, was merely an athletic mem ber. Other athletic members have been similarly honored by the club, but this particular Instance is cited on account of the valuable services rendered the clul) by Kerrigan, and it Is urged that there are many other athletes as cap able as he who are entitled to consid eration. McMillan May Be Ke-clected. CSvorge W". McMillan is being urged as a possible candidate for re-election to tlio presidency of the club, and is favored by both factions, but whether he will be prevailed upon to assume the duties for another term cannot be announced at this time, for he is non committal. However there is plenty of time to consider this matter, as the now directors to he chosen next week ami the five holdovers will have to choose the officers of the organiza tion. T. Morris Dunne, who was mentioned last week as one of tile promoters of the athletic campaign, announces- that he was not cognizant of the move until after the.names had been promulgated. "1 beMeve," said Mr. Dunne, "that it is a goo.i thing for the club to have two tickets in the field, but I have had nothing to do with either faction. Naturally. I favor the advancement of athletics, but as for promoting opposi tion to the candidates proposed bv the nou.inuting committee I have not been active In any way. The two tickets will create renewed interest In the club, ?nd I believe ic would prove beneficial in other ways." Mr. Dunne1 has been a member of the board of directors for four years and retires after the coming election. CKKSCK.MS IN' SECOND TLACK Ileal Hornets lour Goals to One in Last City Soccer League Game. Playing on a frozen Held, where falls meant cuts and bruises, tho Crescents and Hornets ended the city league se ries of "OT-'OS in association football yesterday afternoon, the former win ning by 1 goals to 1. The weather was so cold that only a handful of enthu siasts turned out to see the match. The Crescents won the toss and set out to pile up as heavy a score as pos sible in the first half, when a strong wind was in their favor. Aided by a little slipshod work by Keith, the Hor- ! -net goalkeeper, they rolled through three goals, without having been en dangered themselves. The Hornets pressed hard in efforts to even the score in the, second half, but good work by Rylance, Jago. Oum mings and Challis kept them from get- l ting results, except when J. K. Mackie deceived Cummings with a beautiful dropping shot, just inside the upper lefthand corner of the goal. Hughes and J. K. Mackie were the pick of the Hornet defense, both win ning considerable applause. Of the oth ers, Harry Matthew and Stevenson did well. For the winners, Kilpack and Hanson, of the forwards, were con spicuous and while nearly all the de fense men were effective, Rylance shone, his kicking being pretty, as well as effective. Dick, of the champion Columbias" right wing, was referee. Iceboating In Fashion. NEW YORK, Feb. 1. Great South Bay, on the Long Island Shore, is froz en over from shore to shore for the first time this Winter and iceboat own ers are preparing for a series of re gattas. Boats are also being shipped from here to Orange Lake, near New burgh. X. Y., where a series of chal lenge matches between boats from the two localities will be sailed. PRESTIGE JN EUROPE REGARD 1XR AMERICAN'S WON' BY DE.WKY' AN'D SLOAN". Admiral Proved We Can Fight, and Jockey Demonstrated We Know How to Ridet New York World. "To Tod Sloan and the Spanish-American War ir due the credit of forcing Kuropcans to appreciate the power and possibilities of tho American people," suid J. S. McDonald, the well-known horseman, who knows this continent like a book, to a World reporter at the Wal dorf yesterday. "It may seem peculiar," he continued, "to conjoin the name of the ex-jockey with the feat of arms jvhieh placed this country among the' leading military nations of the World, but I think I can justify my so doing. Europeans refuse to accept with respect any people who do not excel in the very things in which they themselves are, or consider them selves:, pre-eminent. "Before 'tho Spanish-American War Americans were regarded in Kuroiie simply as spendthrifts who had accu mulated ' vast fortunes and went to Kurope to spend them. Genuine respect and admiration for . our people and their qualities were entirely absent. There was. of course, a subserviency on the part of certain people which tlie lavish expenditure of money always. in duces. "With the Spanish-American War the people of Kurope. sat up and began to take notice of us. Kvery nation in Kuropo naturally thinks itself the most warlike and valorous on the face of the earth. With Dewey's victory in Manila.- Bay and tho crushing of the Spanish fleet at Santiago. Buropeans began to say 'These Americans can't be entirely devoid of good qualities, be cause they can tight they are soldiers and sailors like ourselves.' American prestige at once took an upward jump. "When Tod Sloan began to ride abroad tho idea that any ojie could teach the hJnglish anything new In racing, was regarded as worse than ridiculous. The Knglish had been in the racing game for so long and had such confidence both in their horses and methods that until recently any foreign horse enter ing an- Kngllsh race was given an ad vantage of 14 pounds. "Sloan came, saw and conquered. With ills peculiar method of riding and his superior horsemanship, he secured seemingly impossible victories- witli horses that wore -regarded as having no chance of being in the money. Soon the other Knglish riders began to imi tate him. Now tho best riders- in the world, not only in Kngland, but through out the Continent, . have adopted his style. "As a result of Sloan's revelation Knglish racing men began to regard Americans with more respectful eyes. The Americans had taught them things about the game of which they thought they, knew all. The impression, spread throughout tho Continent, and today wherever racing obtains, in England, France, -Germany, Hungary, Russia and - Italy, not only is tho American style, of riding in vogue, but American plates, American saddles and American methods of training have been adopted. "It was Sloan who was the pioneer. Sloan was tho crupader, others have carried on his propaganda, but to him rightly belongs the credit. "America may send abroad shiploads of Ambassadors and men of letters and science, but their influence is limited and has little effect on the masses of the people. A victory of an American horseman or an American sportsman in a game which a foreign people regard themselves as past masters at, does more to make that people appreciate and respect Americans than all the flowery speeches of t'le 'blood is thicker than water' and that type made by all the diplomats and prominent publicists who ' have ever been sent abroad by this country. "That is why I say that to Tod 'Sloan, relegated to oblivion as he now is, and the Spanish-American War is due the credit of making Americans respected abroad. The war showed we could fight. Sloan showed them how to ride. Think it over and sec jf there is not merit in my contention." Effect or Reciprocity on West. CHICAGO, Feb. 1. "Seventy.five mil lion dollars of foreign gold pouring into the Middle West annually, will be one of the first fruits of .reciprocity treaties with France and Germany," de clared Alvin H. Sanders, president of the American Reciprocal Tariff League, yesterday. Mr. Sanders is one of the committee of 30 or more, which will leave Chicago tomorrow for Washing ton to call upon the President in the in terest of tariff revision and reciprocity. The passing of the Beveridge bill will be urged providing for a nonpartisan commission of five experts to investi gate the tariff and report a scientific and equitable revision of schedules to the next Congress, thus taking the question out of politics. "What we want." Mr. Sanders went on, "is such commercial relations as will enable Westerm farmers to supply food products to the millions" of Eu rope: Both Germany and France are ready to do business with us upon this proposition Sharp Drop in Lumber., VANCOUVER, B. C. Feb. 1. (Spe cial.) Lumber prices in Vancouver for practically all grades for .building pur poses, have dropped $5 per thousand feet. This action was taken to meet the lessening in rate announced for shipments for export. The reduction in the latter, however, did not approxi mate more than half of the amount' named today. Stocks of lumber are very large in nearly all the mills of British Columbia. STRONG NINE FOR Tl University Plans Fight for the Championship of the Pa cific Northwest. ' M'CREDIE WILL COACH MEN Only Four of Last Year's Team Lost by Graduation, and Some Promis ing Xew Material Will Try for Positions This Season. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene, Feb. 1. (Special.) The outlook for a strong baseball team . at the University of Oregon for the approaching season is, at the present time, very promising. Of the 15 men composing last year's squad only four are missing, Beck, pitcher; Johnson, catcher; Kelly, catcher, all of whom graduated, and Sid Smith, outfleld er. - who did not return to- college and who will manage the Eugene city team of the Lane County League for the sea son of 1908. Walter McCredie, manager and right fielder of the Portland Beavers has been engaged as coach,' and will- be with the varsity team from about the middle of February until the Pacific Coast League training season opens some time . in March. Manager Frank Mount, of the varsity team, is being congratulated on all sides for his wise choice and good, fortune in securing such .an efficient in structor for tile nine. MeCredie has agreed to coach the team for his ex penses, and will take advantage of his position at the university to get his regu lar Spring workout, so as to be in good shape by the time the Pacific Coast League season begins. Oregon had an exceptionally strong fielding team last 'yeaT. .but the players seemed to be weak at the bat when base hits were most urgently needed. Special attontion- will be given this year to the development of a heavy hitting team. Oregon's infield of last year remains intact "and consists .of Captain . lick Hathaway, third base; Dudley Clarke, shortstop; "Sharkey" Houston, second base, and ex-Captain FJmer D. Paine, on the intial sack. While this combina tion is a very strong one, it will prob ably be somewhat changed before the season opens, as it is known that there are several new crack infielders in tho university and" some of the old then may have to travel to hold down their former Jobs. Among tho new men is Curtis Cole man, tut Salem, who played on tho Wil lamette University team for several sea sons and who is known as a very nifty man with tho glove and bat. . He has been offered berths with different fast professional teams, and it is known that he will make someone hurry for an in field position. Of the outfielders ef last year's team there are Kestley and Ramp, who will undoubtedly be found at their old stands since they have played on the varsity for several years. Many second-team men will be candidates for the outfield and quite a number of new men have signified their intention of making a -try for it. Among the new men likely to make a good run for positions in this department are: Stackpole, Hill Military Academy. '05; Hinkle, of Columbia University, "07: Hayes, of Hill. Military Academy. '07. and Dixon, of Pendleton High School, 07. In the pitching department tho univer sity will be of about the same strength as in previous yejirs, unless some of the new material rounds into better form than it has so far shown signs of doing. Oregon has always had good pitchers, but they have all at some time or other-been some what erratic. One day they would pitch excellent games; and probably the nt'xt day would be hammered out of the box by the varsity second team. Of the three slab artists of last year's organization, Beck, Clifford and Kurd. Beck was lost by graudation,' while the other two re main in college. Both Clifford and Hurd are strong twirlers, but are at times, to some extent, erratic. If Coach Mwjredie can make them settle down and become more consistent. Oregon will easily win a majority of her games, for the varsity pitchers will, without the least doubt, have one of the strongest amateur teams behind them playing in the Pacific North west during the coming season. Among other men who are likely to be strong contenders for positions on the varsity pitching staff are: Robyn Nelson, of last year's second team, and Bailey, formerly of Bishop ScotJ; and Newell Academies. The hardest position to fill wilr be that of catcher, for both of last year's arsity backstops, Johnson and Kelly.' were grad uated with the class of 1!W. For this po sition new men will have to be devel oped, and it is probable that this would be the weak point ' on the team were It not for the fact that- "Chuck" Taylor, the wiry right halfback of the varsity foot ball team, will try- out for it. Taylor caught for several years on the Hill Mili tary Academy team, captaining the team for' two years-, and it Is known that lie will make good. As a change catcher, Charlie Erskine. who last year handled the big mit on the second team, will like ly, be chosen, for with more training he should develop into a valuable receiver. T 1ET III E HD YALE AND HARVARD AFTER IXTERXATIOXAIi CONTESTS. Other American Colleges May Hold Off From Games 'Witli Ox ford and Cambridge. While no open negotiations have been entered upon and a challenge has neither been sent nor received, both Yale and Harvard are desirous of a dual athletic meet with Oxford and Cambridge in Eng land next August, and indirect overtures have been made to that end. On the other hand, neither Yale nor Harvard favors the proposition of an ail-American intercollegiate team being being sent abroad. The general challenge framed and sent at the Joint meeting of the executive and advisory committees of the Intercollegiate Association of Ama teur Athlete of America is considered an impossible one by the Blue and the Crimson. The only English Universities to have men on a team would be Oxford and Cambridge, and opposed to them would be a. team made up of representa tives of all the colleges In this country. The Englishmen would bave practically no chance ,of winning. The challenge was for a British earn, which meant' to Include the athletes of Canada and Australia, but the possibility of their joining their English cousins is remote. Several former college athletes in this country have expressed the opinion that OREGON H STEM it would be- better for two universities here to Jointly make up the team, as there would then be no advantage over the Britons, but that Yale and Harvard should bear this country's athletic stan dard has not met with the approval of the other collegians here. The movement grew out of the- one be gun last year of holding a meet in the Harvard stadium, and Yale and Har vard are deserving of much credit for their ambitious activity, but both are out ranked in track and field sports by other American universities. Cornell, for instance, has a record that makes all others except Pennslyvania look Insignifi cant. Undoubtedly a representative team could be sent abroad and win. Perhaps Yale and harvard couiu, but a "defeat would leave -the question of one country's intercollegiate athletic supremacy still un decided. Stadium an Incentive. ' The erection of . the Olympic stadium makes an added incentive for the pro ject, and in August the Oxford and Cam bridge athletes will be in excellent con dition, owing to their probable participa tion as English representatives in the Olympic meet. Several of the American collegians also may be members of the Olympic team to be sent from this country. It is felt that the. time is ex ceedingly propitious for the college event, which, of course, would not interfere with the Olympic games proper. Harvard and Yale men are said to be lieve that their undergraduates will se cure a fair share of places on the Olympic team, which would materially lessen the expense of sending a dual team abroad. Those who made the American team would be sent at the expense of the Olym pic committee, and only such men as were thought .necessary to bolster up the Harvard-Yale combine would have to go to England on the funds of their respective athletic associayons. In fact, conditions are thought to break exceedingly well for the two universities this year in connec tion with the proposed trip. Both Har vard and Yale appear to possess material for track teams of more than their usual strength, and the supporters of the two universities are said, according to one Harvard athletic authority, to have noth ing to fear regarding the outcome of such a test of speed and endurance as the pro gramme would call for. There is likely, however, to be a hitch in the American end of the arrangements because of the unsettled method' in vftgue in the past for the selection of .the Yale Harvard team. Two plans for the selec tion of the competitors appear to have been tentatively broached. One was based upon the outcome of the Yale-Harvard dual meet which is held annually, and the other was to pick a team in some man ner'resultant upon the showing of the two colleges in the Intercollegiate games. . Americans Are Confident. . Yale and Harvard think they could win everything except the ' distance runs. Yale's .greatest, strength would not be tested,', that of pole vaulting, where she lias the present national chanyilon, Wal ter Dray, captain of the track teaihv and 'the former 'champion, A. 'C. Gilbert. .'A pole vault is not one of the events in an international meet. - From the Yale point of view the Harvard-Yale team would be made up in the following way: 100-yard dashButler, of Yale, and Dodge, of Harvard. 440 yards Merrlhow, of Harvard, and Deselden, of Harvard. SOO yards Tllson, of Yale, and Watson, of Harvard. Mile Haddon, of Harvard, and Spitzer, of Yale. Three mile Crosby, of Harvard, and Dole, of Harvard. 120-yard hurdles Rand, pt Harvard, and Howe, of Yale. Hammer throw Cooney and Andrus, of Yale. High jump Harwood and Somors, of Harvard. ' Broad jump Davis, of Yale, and Little, of Harvard. The records show that the first Inter national meet of this- character was held in 1S9N, and was won by Oxford and Cambridge, five events to four. The second 'contest was won by Yale and Harvard in 1901, when the Ameri cans' captured first place in six of tho nine contests that formed the card. At the last meeting of the two dual teams the Americans won the 100 and 441-yard runs, the high and broad jumps, the 120-yard hurdle race and the hammer throw. The Oxford and Cambridge collegians of that year cap tured the longer distance runs, which were the half-mile, mile and two-mile events. The results of that competition wero as follows: 100-yard dash W. A. Schick, Harvard. 0:9 4-5: 120-yard hur dle race, E. J. Clapp, Yale, 0:15 4-5: 440 yard run, E. J. Dives, Harvard, 0:49 4-5; 8811-yard run. If. F. Holding, Oxford, 1:56 1-5: one-mile run, H. W. Gregson, Cambridge, 4:211-5; two-mile run, M. H. Godby. Oxford, 9:50; running broad Jump, L. T. Sheffield, Yale, 21. feet, 10 inches; running high jump, G. F. Vie tor, Yale, 6 feet inch: 16-pound ham mer throw, T. L. Shevlin, Yale, 152 feet 8 inches. It is thought that should the meet be held the programme will be composed of the same events, although this is only a surmise.

WILL NAME RACING DATES Portland Country Club and Live stock Association Will Ask for a Meeting to Be Held on Truck Xow, Xear Completion. When the North Pacific Fair Associa tion meets' in Portland this week this city will again request dates for a meet under the auspices of the association, for by that time the handsome new track and park of the Portland Country Club and livestock Association will have been completed. Jhe coming gathering of horsemen and breeders promises .to be the most inter esting held in many years. The principal reason for this is that both Portland and Seattle will be in the Held for dates when harness meets may be held without con flicting with the various meets held an nually at other parts of the Pacific North west. The Washington State Fair Association of Seattle will be represented by three delegates, while a similar number will be on hand as delegates from the Port land Country Club and Livestock Associa tion. Representatives from all over Ore gon. Washington and Idaho, and possibly some from Montana, will be on hand,, and from the amount of business likely to at tract the attention of the organization, it may be in convention for twp days in stead of the one day named in the circu lars announcing the meeting. Dike the Portland association, the Seattle horsemen are engaged in 'building a new track and show grounds, which are located near the Alaska-Yukon-Pacitlc Ex position grounds, on Lake Washington. The Seattle association is exerting itself toward making its new grounds- up-to-date in very particular, and with two new tracks in the largest cities in the cir cuit, the North Pacific Fair Association will be well provided in the matter of accommodations for speed tests. The new park of the Portland associa tion presents a busy scene at present. Large gangs of workmen are employed Half the nervousness, half the Irri tability that is so sommon in everyday life. Is really sickness, .and in most cases a condition that accompanies kidney trouble. It is the work of the kidneys to keep the blood free from uric acid and other poisons, but when the. kidneys are sick, and not doing their duty the uric acid poison permeates the body, and attacks body, brain and nerves. The irritation pauses nervousness, irritability, headache, dizzy spells; makes you lan guid, unfit for work, and inclined to worry over trifles. Besides, there is noth ing more annoying than a bad back, and backache is the most common sign of kid ney trouble. You feel lame and tired in the morning, suffer day and night with a dull aching in the back, and it hurts to stoop or bend or lift. Keep your temper cool, and get the kidneys well. No person can feel cheer ful and healthy if the kidneys 'are the least (bit affected. A few doses of Doan's Kidnay Pills, taken in the beginning, will set the kidneys right. Continued treatment cures cases of long standing. Doan's Kidney Pills are for the kidneys only, and contain no poisonous nor habit- DOAN'S KIDNEY PILLS Soid by all dealer. Price 5 cents. FO!TF,R-MH.BVKX CO, Buffalo, w. Y Proprietors. TUDEBAKER The Guaranteed Car Studebaker "30" Model "H" The car that has quietly taken its place among the leaders leveling the track, while scrapers " and harrows are being worked over the area in the effort to h,ave the grounds in shape as early as possible. The new track will be more oval in shape than was tho Irvington track, and in addition will prove a more acceptable course for the reason that the stretch will be much longer than at the former track. By building the track in this man ner, tho promoters hope to make the finishes of the different events of much more interest than the past events at Irvington were, for the reason that the entries will have a longer straightway stretch than at the former track. It is planned to have the new track capable of accommodating the three and one half furlong and four furlong events on the stretch without being required, like Ir vington, to take in a turn at the start of these short sirint events. The composition of new track at present is principally gravel and fine sand. This is beinj- excavated from the ele vated portions and used to till in the low er areas, and considerable work of this kind has already been completed. ' As ,soon as the grade is established and the entire field made level, the track itself will be covered with at least one foot of earth. This will be rolled with heavy steam rollers until it has been built to suit the specifications. In a short time it is expected that tho gravelly founda tion will permeate the earthen layer to such an extent that the new track will be the equal of any race course in the West. Last week the building commrtte of the Portland Country Club and Livestock Association visited the scene and selected the sites on which the building will be erected. This committee, which is com posed of W. If. Wehrung, H. O. Camp bell and O. W. Taylor, reported that they had no trouble in selecting the sites and had arranged to have the work of con struction undertaken at once. SCIililVAX AS TITLE HOLDER John L. lias Had More Cognomens Than Any Other Fighter. While the average American has little fancy for titles, there are certain spheres of activity in which a man cannot avoid acquiring some expressive cogno men. Pugilism probably develops more titles than any other sport, although baseball is a close second. John L.
