Multnomah Field yesterday. 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

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

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.

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

lo3s of the game. "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 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.
