When the points were finally totaled up. it was found that thf- West Side lads had piled up a total of. 52- points, while the best their nearest competitor. Co lumbia Cnii'erstty, could do was to an nex 27. Portland Academy secured enough firsts, seconds and thirds to give them third honors -with 18. and Hill Military Academy scored 11. The East Side High School lads were disappoint ed at the failure of several of their best athletes to participate, and the few who did appear were unplaced. Only one record among the juniors, or interscholastlc events was broken. That was in an exhibition pole-vault by Bert Perkins, who vaulted 10 feet 0 inches, the previous record in this di vision having been 10 feet 4 Inches. Perkins won the competition pole vault with a mark of 9 feet 8 Inches. Jamieson. of the West Side High School, took second with a vault of 9 feet 4 inches, while Baker, of Hill Military Academy, was third with 9 feet. The remarkable feature of the meet was the close competition in the mile run. which event was practically a repe tition of the hair-raising finish which . took place at the P. N. A. meet one week ago. Hard Contest In Mile. In the mile event yesterday there were 11 young athletes who toed the scratch at the start. On the fourth lap this num ber had been thinned out considerably, and Davis, of the Portland High School, who spurted on the second lap, held an apparently safe lead until the commence ment of the last lap. At this point Burns, the sturdy little distance man of Colum bia University, who had evidently saved himself for Just such an emergency, sprinted hard In the stretch and overtook the almost exhausted High School boy and passed hfm at the tape, winning In ne of the prettiest finishes of the day. Dart, the speedy little sprinter, ful filled the expectations of all who had witnessed him run before, by cleverly ivinnlng the 100-yard dash in the fast time of 10 3-5 seconds. Dart had a good field, for Campbell, of Columbia, and Cornell, of Portland Academy, gave him a splendid contest. t The 220-yard run was handily' taken by Joe. Campbell, of Columbia, who ran the jistance In the very good time of 23 3-5 seconds. Meier, of Portland High School, was second, and Dart, of the same team, third. Good Showing in Hurdles. McGulre. of Portland High School, won the 120-yard high hurdles, with Latou rette. his teammate, and Dockstader of 1'olumbia second and third respectively. In this event, as well as in the 220-yard . low hurdles, Smlthson. a brother to For rest Smithson, was the only competitor who failed to topple any of the barriers. The little chap, however, was beaten in toth events, but should have been given place for his gamcness and splendid Torrn and ability as a hurdler. Some of the lads who defeated him knocked down es many as four hurdles in the short event and several more in the longer run. Latourette. of West Side High School, captured the low hurdle event In 11 3-5 seconds, which is considered very food time for the youngsters, especially when made on the new track. McGulre was second, and Uammans, of Portland Academy, third. McDanlel. of the Portland Academy, took the 440-yard run In 53 3-5 sec onds, beating Mclcr and Davis of the West Side High. The half-mile run was won by Graham of the Hill Mili tary Academy, who held the lead throughout, and made a game finish when hard pressed in the stretch by tiaird. of Portland Academy, and Burns, of Columbia University. . Quinn. of Columbia, put the 16-pound hot 3S feet iMs inches, which mark was not beaten by his competitors. Runyon. of the Portland High School, took the second, while third place went to the latter's teammate, Starker. : Hlckson, of the West Side High School, proved the best broad lumper, with a leap of 19 feet, 11 inches. Mor ris, of Portland Academy, took seiond place, while Hill, of the Hill Military Atademy. secured third. , McGuire, of the West Side High (School, showed winner In the running high Jump, which gave him a D!iniid Individual record for the day. He cleared the bar at 5 feet, 6 inches, one inch better than Baker, of Hill Military, was able to do in three trials. Bia :k of Columbia, gained third place. ; Summary of the Events.

Chit-Chat of Sporting World BY WIU., G. MACRAE. CHIT-CHAT says g-ood-by to the ball team for the rest of the Summer. Lots of luck to you all. If you can't bring back the pennant, stick to second place and stay there tlghting. "Happy hogan has the following nice things to say of Ote Johnson to the San Francisco Bulletin man: "That fellow Ote Johnson Is making McCredie a val uable man," remarked Hap Hogan after the game. "He Is valuable in this way: He can play any position, and McCredie has used him in every position except behind the plate. Danzig had a sore back and he played first against us and played a very ood first, too. You know, he started out a pitcher and his arm Is good yet. A player who can Jump In and cover any old position is worth hav ing, and this is what Ote can do." Charles Comisky has ' promised his White Sox that if they win the pennant there Is a trip to Europe for thorn. We are pulling for the White Sox, and hope they get a chance to cross the big drink. Battling Nelson comes in for a nice toasting from the Boer Unholz for break ing into print and saying that the Boer laid down to Gans. Unholz says that Gans is lots whiter than the Battler, and offers to fight the Dane for nothing after Gans gets through with him. 9 Remember Ham Iberg, he of the tan talizing slow ball? Well, in spite of the stories that went the rounds that Ham had lost his eyesight, there comes a story from San Francisco that Captain Mohler, pf the Seals, is going to give Ibcrg an other chance. Before he gets a uniform, Mohler is going to make sure that Ham has something left. A newspaper down in the .state where Jesse Garrett halls from calls all um pires "robbers." The silent Texas pitcher says he doesn't think the umps care so long as they are not called mollycoddles. Fight fans of San Francisco should take Promoter Jimmy Coffroth by the scruff of the neck when he comes back and tell him either to call off that Ketchell-Jack O'Brien fight or be dumped into the bay. Coffroth doesn't often make mistakes, but if he makes this match with the confess ing, faking Philadclphian it should be the end of Coffroth. Garrett was so pleased to get through his Friday game without his shoulder paining him that he was reconciled to the 1 McGulre, W. P. H. S Columbia, Taking the of the 100-yard Dash.

"I believe now that my' shoulder Is going to be all right for the rest ot the Summer," he said yester day. Chief Plnnance left last night for his home. McCredie will keep a string on the Indian, and he may be one of Portland's 1909 pitchers. After the game Tom Raftery said: "I never dropped a fly ball in my life that a score did not result from my er ror. m I don't drop them often but every time" I do, it's nuts for the other fel lows." Portland is certainly the Jinks for Ktlllan. The other time he started in to pitch against us he blew up. Just as he did yesterday, and did not get a chance to pitch the inning out. Van Haltren will try to take this afternoon's game and will undoubtedly pitch Wright again. He will have against him Kd Kinsella, and if they beat the big bridegroom, Oakland will have to show plenty of class and get the break In all of the luck of the game. AMERICAN" LEAGUE.

Is AMERICAN RACE ALSO HOT i'onr Clubs Now Camping on Trail ot White So.x, With Other Teams That May Yet Threaten the Leaders. BY W. J. PETRAIX. Many local fans have been so inter ested in the performances of the Pa cific Coast League teams that they have utterly forgotten to notice the standings of the two major leagues. For the first time in about six years there is a hard struggle in the old Na tional League for the premier position, while the younger and more popular American ' League is again furnishing the fans of Its circuit a heart-breaking contest for Just honors. In the National League, the Chicago Cubs, who enjoyed the undisputed lead during three successive seasons, are now being threatened with displace ment from the top of the heap. Inci dentally, it is the Cincinnati Red Sox who are becoming so aggressive in these latter days of baseball, and on that account the Bugs of Garry Herr mann's home town are . supremely happy. Cincinnati, by the way. pos sesses three players developed on the Pacific Coast, and two of them assisted Portland very materially in winning the 1906 pennant. All the fans are ac quainted with the prowess of Mike Mitchell and Larry McLean, while most of them are more or less familiar with the performances of little Johnny Kane, who formerly wore a Seattle uniform. This trio of young players Is doing yeoman service for the Cincinnati Club, and if the pennant should be won by the Ohio metropolis, considerable satis faction over the result will be felt in this city. More Interest in League. The possibility of the National League pennant landing elsewhere than Chicago has stimulated renewed interest in the old league. The splen did battles put up each year by its rival and its own runaway race caused the patrons to flock to the American League grounds where they received a rattling good run for their money on account of the close scores and gener ally evenly balanced teams.. A victory for Cincinnati this year, or for that matter a victory by any other club than Chicago, would stimulate much greater interest than would result were the Cubs to win a fourth time. The switching of the championship from one town to another in the Am erican League, and the fact that dur ing the playing season, at least five of the eight clubs are usually in the fight for the rag. have caused the tre mendous popularity of the younger league. For three years past the championship of this league has been decided in the last games played. Cincinnati Is directed this year by a manager who has a baseball head and the ability to handle his players, which latter faculty seemed lacking in Ned Hanlon. who "Dufydaled" around Cincinnati. Brooklyn and other big league towns until the fans commenced to get wise. Just as the Seattle fans are coming to know their fat impressario. John Ganzel has complete charge of the Cincinnati team, and lias com pletely taken the random of that city by storm, for the best thet Cincinnati expected was a team that would hug the first division closely. To have their representatives patting Ch-cugo on the heels for the lead, has sent the Cinci bugs completely daffy. Giants Out of Race. "Muggsy" McGraw and his New York Giants are now dubbev midgets prac tically all over the National League circuit, and it is rumored that some startling changes will shortly take place in the lineup of the Gothamltes. Among the men that it is rumored will be turned adrift is "Iron Man" McGin nlty. who. two years ago. was touted as the greatest living pitcher, with the exception of Matthewson. Both have fallen, for Matty Is not winnins with any degree of regularity, and McGin nity well, he can't win at all. In the American League. Fielder Jones seems bent on making good that promise he made out here in Portland during his sojourn last Winter, when he said that his team would take the American League honors. The White Sox acquired the premier position about a week ago, and have been win ning consistently ever since. If Jones and his huskies can continue their present stride he will not have any trouble In being able to join the "1- -you-so class. Chicago Americans are not go- o have an easy thing in settling pennant race, for there are four clubs now camping closely on their trail, with the extreme likelihood of two more making things exceedingly warm before the final curtain is rung down. Napoleon Lajoie and his Cleveland Blues are about to fight harder than i they ever fought before for a pennant. and the same can be said for Hughey Jennings and his Detroit Tigers, who won the pennant last year, and are even more dangerous this season. Then Jimmy McAleer and his St. Louis con tingent have so far proven themselves not only a first division club, but are threatening contenders for the cham pionship. The four clubs last named have been performing in the most consistent manner recently, but even they are not proof against sudden slumps, such as are. being experienced by Clark Grif fith's Highlanders. The New Yorkers are always dangerous competitors and may yet succeed in satisfying the pa trons of their home town by annexing an Amerioan League pennant. Boston and Washington have been the weakest clubs so far but each is playing a much stronger game than was noticeable last season. In fact, the manner in which the bean-eaters have hustled recently has caused many of the Eastern dopesters to sit up and take notice. The same might be said of the Washington bunch, for this club is likely to blast the hopes of the leaders at any time. Both leagues are well balanced this year and baseball should prove a record-breaking financial success when the season's receipts are totalled. Multnomah 5; O. A. C. 3. CORVALLTS.
