BY W. J. I'ETR A 1 N.
Forrest .mlllion. the premier alh
1 tr of tlio ra. itlc Northwest, and an
( rron boy. while running umler the
rotors of tlif Multnomah Amateur Ath
letic Club at the bi imloor meet at Co
lumbia I'titvernity yesterday afternoon,
clipped two-nfths of a eJeuond off the
world's indoor rerord Tor the rw-yard hih
hurdles. The evnt whs witnessed by the
lHrnent crowd ever assembled at the an
nual Columbia jfarnts, and while many
went with the expectation of seeing the
famous athlete break a record, there was
ft fioene, of wild enthusiasm when the re
sult of the event was announced. Smlth-on-
time was 6 2-5 seconds, while the
.old record was 6 4-5.
Aside from Smithson's feat, the work of
the Inivorstty of Oregon and Oregon
Agricultural Collese athletes attracted
the tireatent Intercut of the biff crowd as
sembled within the larg coliseum. By
Jcorlnfl: handily in the tield events and
holding its own In the sprints and dis
tances, the University of Oregon ran up
the highest score and was dclaml the
winner of the handsomely engraved ban
ner given by the promoters of the meet.
The contest between the State University
and the "Aeries' was "so close that when
the deciding event, the relay race, was
run. the utmost excitement prevailed.
Interest Centers in Kelay.
Previous to the relay race Oregon had
won 36 points and the Oregon Agricultural
College was second with 33 points. Ore
gon's victory in this event came only
after one of the prettiest struggles ever
eeen on the Columbia track. Moores and
Ixoney were the competitors in the first
lap and the veteran Oregon runner had
a light advantage when he tagged Kiitz,
who was given a hard race by -Captain
Greenhaw, the second man of the "Ag
gies. " Greenhaw struck Steiwec so hard
at the finish of the stretch that " Steiwer
had a bad start and Oberteuffer. of Ore
gon, held a decided advantage which he
pave to Roid, one of the strongest thin
ners who ever represented Oregon, and
who flnitihrd tho race. Schroeder. the O.
A. C. runner, who had previously cap
tured the :n!0-y.'ird dash, made a whirl
wind finish, but Reid's lead was tjo much,
or a handicap to overcome. The Y. M.
C. A. team, which took third place, dis
played fairly good form, but showed Im-k
of training as compared with the col
legians. Immediately folowing the relay came
t ho sirM-tclitl hieH hnrillA rui' fx1 twf.n For-
rest Smith son and Kberlc Kuy Kendall, of J
the University of Oregon, in which Smith
son broke the world's record, that he had
tied In the regular race a few moments
before. The Multnomah star got such a
good start that some of the spectators be
lieved he had beaten the gun. but the
officials decided it viw a fair test. Walter
fi-oartn. one of the timers, had caught
Smlthson at 6 1-5 seconds, while Kirby.
Fechhelmer and Pammasch each had 6 2-5
seconds, which was allowed.
Ties rteoortl in Dash.
Several heats were run in the 50-yard
dash. George Gammie of the Multnomah
Club succeeded in winning the tlrst heat,
hut in the finals he did not take place.
The event was won by Smithson In 5 2-5
seconds, which tips the Northwest indoor
record. Huston, of Oregon, took second,
and Dent, of West Side High School third.
MouIIcn of Oregon won the pole vault
ovr Swann of O. A. C. Swann, on the
third trial at Moullen'e mark, got a nasty
fall, the pole breaking. He was not seri
ously injured and participated in other
evnt.
Tyler Smith, the only representative of
-Multnomah besides Smith on to show in
any of the events, ran an exceptionally
good rav in the 44o-yard dash, taking
third. Re;( of Oregon whs tirnt and
Greenhaw of O. A. C. second. Greenhaw
was in poor condition for the meet.
Tniirrer Heater advised him to remain out
of the rventp. hnt Greenhaw was anxious
to stremithfn his team against Oregon.
Herbert, an Astoria. High School lad.
surprised many of the followers of field
sjtorts by taking nond place in the high
jump, in which he beat Smithson. but
was defeated by hayman of O. A. C.
Wolff, of O. A. C, succeeded in rapturing
the ybotput. the only event in which he
competed, with a put of -41 feet, establish
ing a Northwest indoor word. Involt.
the O. A. C. distance runner, was easily
the .star in the half-mile and mile events,
and won each with comparative ease.
He displayed more endurance than the
other entries, due probably to training in
cross-country runs.
..Juniors Slunv lp Well.
Mom than passing interest was shown
in i ho performance in the aciidemSc
events, frofessor Robert Krolin. who whs
one vf the officials, was greatly pleaded
with tlie showing of the youngsters. . Joe
Campbell was the Mar iier former for i o
lumbia. After winning his heat ami t3.e
.semf-iiripl in the academic 210-yard dah.
Canifbei yme to t lie front strongly and
also won the final. Campbell was the last
man for Columbia in the junior relay and
scored anot h-r victory.
The biir crowd was an evidence of the
continued popularity of track athletics.
Columbia's work in promoting these an
nual tragic meets is meeting with great
sucee?. Columbia took up track ath
letics when the sport had declined to such
an extent that hardly a handful of peo
ple would attend a meet. By steadily
working along this line and giving hand
some prizes each year, the institution has
succeeded In creating enough interest in
these events to make the annual meet a
financial as well as an athletic success.

WAS KNOWN IN PORTLAND
A. K. Blakcly, Who Died Friday in
Xen Orleans, "Was Here in 190 6.
Andrew R. Blakely, proprietor of the
St. Charles Hotel in New Orleans, who
died last Friday, visited Portland for
the last time about two years ago and
was the guest of his old-time friend,
Tom Richardson.
Mr. Richardson received a " letter
three days ago from Mr. Blakely, in
which the veteran hotel man compli
mented the manager of the Commer
cial Club and gave good-natured chaff
concerning his enthusiasm over Port
land. There was no reference to the
writer being in ill-health and the news
of hia death came as a shock to his
friends In Portland.
Members of the Elks fraternity re
call that when the Grand Lodge was
about to be entertained In New Or
leans a voting plan was started to
raise funds and for a dol.lar the voter
was permitted to name hia choice of
the homeliest man in the city. In a
spirit of fun a combination was formed
to vote for Mr. Blakely. with the re
sult that he wan' "elected" almost
unanimously The prize was a fine
piano, and' when it was' awarded Mr.
Blakely he promptly turned it over to
one of the charitable institutions of
New Orleans.
He always referred to this estimate
by his fellow-citizens In all his public
utterances, and appeared proud of the
distinction in which he was held by his
friends and neighbors, fully, etider
standing the back-handed compliment.
Where 100 to ISO people live to the square
mile t'.ie death rate averages lit per KiOO.
Where there are over :t00 to the square mile
the death rate increases to 24 per 1000.
