BY WII,L, O. MAC RAE. Portland six weeks at home Is ended and for the next three weeks the baseball map will be moved to California. In the six weeks at home, Portland has won 19 frames and lost ten out of the 29 games that have been played up to Friday. While this Is a smashing Rood record and will go a long way to prove that the Mc Credles have kept their promises with the local fans that they would give us a bang-up ball team, the number of win ning; frames would have been greater but for the long-continued spell of bad weather. At one time practically the en tire team was ready for the hospital and some of them would have landed there but for the clever work of Dr. Arnold Lindsay, who took the kinks out of the sore muscles that the cold weather de veloped. When the team came home they were down in the cellur, but in the last two weeks of play down South they began to hit their stride and the ball, and once on the home grounds they began to climb out of the basement. Pass Oakland and Seals. On the upward Journey Portland passed Oakland and the Seals, both of which had at one time during the early part of the season been roosting at the top of the percentage column. By taking us down when the season opened, a lot of bugs thought that San Francisco was going to make a runaway race for the Coast League pennant and now they are roost ing In the spot vacated by Portland, and Inhabited for awhile by Oakland. Los Angeles is the only team that we have not passed In the race, and up until yes terday's game, we have been within one game of the leaders ever since that nerve trying San Francisco series. In the games against the Seals. McCredle's crew played up to their highest pitch and the Loo Loos were Just fortunate enough to land among us when the team was crumbling, but for this we would have done better than have broken even with the flee dodgers from Los Angeles. All Games Have Been Good. AH this is the luck of the game, a thing that keeps the fans turning out daily. Taking all of the games as a whole, Portland fans have certainly no kick coming on the quality of ball they have seen. With the exception of a few games, every battle won and lost has been a battle from starting bell to the last in ning. There is no question but that the league is taster than it has been in two years, and has been putting up a higher class of baseball. No better proof of this is needed than a look at the way the teams are bunched In the race. A winning spurt on the ' part of the tall-enders and a little slump on the part of Los Angeles and Portland will change the complexion of the whole race. San Francisco started off like pennant-winners, but they have blown up. The team fell off on Its hitting and now Danny Long Is burning up the wires trying to round-up players to strengthen the team. Weak In Pitching Staff. With Portland it is different. Mc Credie Is still surrounded by one of the best balanced hitting teams In minor league baseball, but his pitching staff has been all shot to pieces. He is down to three men. Groom. Klnsella and Garrett. Chief Pinnance has gone to pieces and will be allowed to go home for the Sum mer. His pitching arm at the elbow Is in bad shape and it is doubtful whether he would have been any good during the rest of the season had he stayed. Just when Bud Pernoll's services were needed the worst, he was stricken with the mumps. The Grants Pass southpaw would have been good for two games against the Loo Loos and we could have figured on his winning one, if not both, for he has the Indian sign on Los Angeles. Pernoll will rot be strong enough for McCredie to take south with him. Marshall will take Billy Bloomfield's place. McCredie doesn't want to loose the string he has on Bloomfleld, for he believes that once the youngster gets his control back, he will make a valuable twirler. McCredie may place Bloomfleld with some one of the Trl-Clty League teams. Left-Hander Badly Needed. What McCredie wants to do and do It quick is to get at least one, if not two more slab men. He Is giving Ed. Pender, the Vancouver southpaw, a try-out with a view to grabbing him In case he shows that he is there. McCredie needs & smashing good left hander. but the kind he wants Is hard to get. He thought he had signed one In Lakaff, and for a time during Spring practice Lakaff gave evidence of having the goods, but what he had was phony when the pinch came. Marshall will make up the fourth member of the pitching staff and it may be that Manager McCredie will relieve Ote John son of infield duty and put him on the pitching staff. This was his Intention early in the Spring and he would have done so had Ryan turned up before he did. Ote Is a good pitcher. He showed when he Jumped into the game, and al though he lost his game, he struck out six batters. Working regularly in the box would soon bring back the goods he has when he began playing the infleld. John son was not all in as a pitcher by any means when he gave up twisting 'em over. Casey, who has been down with the grip, is up and around and he may get in uniform before the team goes south. He is still weak and it may be that Mc Credie will not let him play until the southern series. While Johnson has filled in Casey's place very creditably, he would have played a lot smarter game but for a very sore foot. He was spiked before he came home and the wound would not heal. He Injured the sore spot on Tues day and since then he has been practical ly playing on one foot. This has handi capped him from covering territory around second and running bases. At least three of Oakland's hits that helped with Thursday's game, would never have counted as hits, but for Johnson being crippled. MORE CHEAP RATES.

SCHOOL CHILDREN DRILL This Event Will Be Incentive to the Young Athletes to Train for Con tests Praise for Grammar School Athletic League. BY W. J. PETRAIX. The rejuvenation of amateur field sports Is the fruit of determined "efforts on the part of a few interested and htehly capable men, who have worked faithfully to promote public Interest as well as to interest the young athletes in outdoor sports. Anyone who witnessed the public ap proval of such sports as displayed by the large attendance at the Pacific Northwest Amateur Athletic Association annual games, held on Multnomah field, and under the auspices of the Mult nomah Club, one week ago, will thor oughly agree that amateur athletics have finally regained the prestige the sport had lost for many years. Events Pulled Off Well. The Multnomah Club and the able committee of its representative mem bers is deserving of high commendation for the clean and honest manner in which the events were pulled off, for there were no Instances whereby any thing of an ulterior nature could even be hinted at. All records made were honest and announced as the Judgment of men of the highest repute and integ rity. The track was new, having Just been excavated a few weeks previous to the holding of the meet, , and therefore not as well adapted to track athletics as would have been the case had the events been scheduled for a year later, for next season Multnomah will have a cinder path on which her athletes can compete, that will be second to none on the Pacific Coast, or, for that matter, In the United States. New Track a Handicap. In spite of the handicap of an entire ly new track, the young athletes of the Pacific Coast gave a splendid exhibition, of their powers on field and track. In fact It was the most successful field meet ever pulled off in the Pacific North 1 PORTLAND BUDS," ENTRY OF IT 1 KWif tf :fA J i . ' JT .... ... 4, 4 X TV-' N west. In that splendid contest were rep resented the beet athletes from Oregon, Washington, Montana and California, and two of the athletes who competed and won first honors here are scheduled to go to London with the All-American team and compete ,for the honors of America against the world. These are Forrest C. Smithson. ' of Portland, and Andre Glarner, of San Francisco. Both are equally great In their respec tlve divisions, and in the recent meet here they easily demonstrated that the American games committee had made no mistake In selecting them for the Eu ropean trip. Smithson Is .undoubtedly the premier hurdler of America, while Glurner can boast of being as classy a middle-distance runner as there is in America today. Both men will do the team they represent honor in competi tion abroad. Last Tuesday an event took place on Multnomah Field which will eventually prove the most beneficial boost ever given the younger generation, for the education of the athlete, and incidentally the strong and healthy man should begin In his childhood and be gradually . increased In extent as he grows in years. School Children's Drill. This event was the drill of the school children. The drill of itself was an illus tration of the capabilities of the young. In fact It was a marvelous demonstration of what can be accomplished by one man who possesses the faith of his pupils, and Is by that means enabled to secure their concentrated attention. The children un der the direction of Professor Robert Krohn gave a drill the equal of which has never been known in America. It was the fruit of unceasing labor and instruc tion extending over a period of 14 years, for it required that length of time for the able physical Instructor of the Portland school children to acquire his present knowledge of the young, of which last Tuesday was the grand and fruitful cli max. Incidentally the proceeds of this drill are to be devoted entirely to the promo tion of athletics among the younger gen eration. The money received at this per formance will serve to assist the school boys of Portland in advancing in health ful out-door sports, and thereby fit them to become strong and healthy men. May hap some of the youngsters developed In this manner may be able to demonstrate their prowess in such a manner as to se cure for them a college education, just as other young athletes have secured in the past, for a lad who desires to learn, and who possesses talent on the field and track, is always assured of means of se curing entry into a big university. Hard Task of Committee. The magnitude of the task the Gram mar School Athletic League Committee has assigned to itself is probably but lit tle realized by themselves, but their hon esty and integrity cannot be questioned, and they are all men of the caliber who will soon find a means of overcoming any obstacle, no matter how large It may be. The education and development of the young boys of our public schools will serve to make better men in days to come, and the able men who have advo cated and brought Into existence the present league are to be highly commend ed for the spirit In which they have en tered Into the scheme, and that It will be a huge success Is assured, for the average boy will need no urging to" participate in healthful' exercises providing the oppor tunity is offered him. MR. AVRED J. BINGHAM, 667 OVERTON, GAMES DRAW WELL Portland Best Baseball Town on Coast. FIGURES TELL THE TALE Books of Judge McCredie Show 66, 02 8 Paid Admissions During Five Weeks In Which There Were Many Rainy Days. BY WILL Q. MAC RAE. Baseball has a good, firm grip on Portland and no city in the United States is a better ball town. It has often been said of the city that it is the best baseball town on the Coast, and what has been said is true, for during the five weeks of the presept home seiies 66.028 paid admissions have passed through the turnstiles at the Vaughn-street grounds. Several thousand more would have been added but for the games lost by rains. These figures' were given out by Judge W. W. McCredie, and if any of the Northwest League howlers are skeptical. Judge McCredie will show them the books. If further proof Is needed,' the books of the visiting team will be open to their inspection. The Seals and Los Angeles drew the largest crowds, and when Captain Dil lon went South after his second visit to Portland, he exhibited a check calling for J2000 as his share of the gate money. Some Idea can be had of the attendance from this, when it is re membered that the visiting team gets 40 per cent. While it must be admit ted that the attendance so far this season has broken all previous records, yet Portland, even with a tail-end team, has given the game better sup port than Seattle ever dreamed of do ing. More people turn out to the games here during the season than In Los Angeles, and San Francisco will cer tainly have to travel some even to keep in our shadow. Tnere are two good arguments in the figures 66,028. First is, that it would bo foolish for Portland to think of joining a league that plays in such cities as Vancouver. B. C, Aberdeen and Butte. It is also the best argu ment that Portland fans are deserving of a new grandstand from the street railway people. While these 66,028 people were crowding through the gates at the ball park, the street-railway company was reaping its harvest. Figuring in the ladles' days and the free day to tho kiddies, making gooa the street-railway company's free ticket list, the company took in $6602.8) in the five weeks of play. The street railway people, however, say they do not make a cent taking IN ROSE FESTIVAL PARADE. 1 ! 1 people to and from the baseball games. They say that the velvet is used up in putting on extra crews to handle the crowd. One: thing must be said in favor of the street railway people, and that Is they have not been niggardly with their cars. They have handled ' the large crowds that have attended the games exceedingly well and only once this season have they been short of power. The . management has always had plenty of cars, on hand to carry the people to and from the games. This has been so on week days as well as Sundays. THE DAY'S HORSE RACES Results at Gravesend.

MEN My methods are original with me, and are the result of many years' experience In medical practice. I effect a cure in every case I take for treatment because my treat ment is adjusted to the needs of each patient with scientific precision. I leave nothing to guesswork. I KNOW when I begin treating a patient that I will perform a complete and permanent CURE. Such a cure by my treatment U Just as certain as that two and two make four. I claim that nothing less than complete eradication of the disease from the system is a real cure. I treat to completely remove the disease and not merely the symptoms. I drive out every root and fiber of the ailment and effect a cure that will make you strong and vigorous for a lifetime. The euros I effect are the result of my thorough knowledge of every phase of the disease I treat and to the fact that I apply Individual treatment to each case. In every Instance I know the ailment and I know the cure for i:. The fact that I agree to wait for my fee until you are cured Is proof of my confidence In my ability to cure In every case. Some physicians assert that certain diseases of men are incurable. I deny that, and stand ready to PROVE that by my methods there Is no disease peculiar to men that cannot be cured. You Can Pay Me When You Are Cured VARICOCELE. Under my treatment the most aggravated cases of varicocele are cured in a few days' time. There is no pain, and it is seldom neces sary that the patient be detained from his occupation. Normal cir culation is at onoe restored throughout all the organs and their natural processes of waste nnd repair are again established. If you are afflicted with varicocele consult me at once. Delay can bring on aggravated conditions and nervous complications and Involve the general health. No other physician employs a like treatment, and so thorough is my work that there need not be the slightest fear of a relapse into old conditions. MY EXPERIENCE Twenty - five years of successful practice in Men's Diseases enable ,me to apply the proper methods and medicines. I treat Varicocele, If y d r o c ele. Contracted Disorders, Specific Blood P o i s o n. Plies and Stricture restoring all affected organs to normal and healthy ac tion in the shortest possible space of time. . FREE CONSULTATION. To Judge my ability without per sonal consultation may be an in justice to yourself that will cost a lifetime of suffering. Consultation is free and confidential and you place yourielf under no obligation to me whatever by coming to talk with me about your case. OFFICE HOURS. 9 A. M. to 9 P. M.. SUNDAYS 9 TO 12 ONLY.

STRONG TEAMS IN FIELD Selection .of Gilbert, Smithson and Kelly on All-Ainerican Team Tribute to Progress AVestern Athletics. of BT REFERETE. , The Pacific Northwest has witnessed another successful season of track and Held athletics, and although few rec ords were broken, the season was a profitable one from every other stand point. Championship honors among the colleges belong to the University of Oregon and the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club hold first place in the Pacific Northwest Association. The record made by this year's Ore gon team was a remarkable one, con sidering the fact that nearly all its members wore freshmen. Iespite the loss of McKlnney. Hug, Kelly and Moores, Trainer Hayward developed an aggregation of point-winners that made a most C" vlable record. His new men In the long stance runs, sprints and hurdles came to the front with remarkable skill and speed. In young Hustcn Oregon lias one of the best and most consistent sprinters that the Pacifl; Northwest has seen. Not once luring the season did he meet defeat a ths 100-yard aash. Huston's work .i the P. N. A. cl amplonshlps, when he jeteated Smithson in the 100-yard dash, was not unexpected by those who had kept a close eye on the Oregon lad this year. While hardly as fast as Dan Kelly, Huston Is a more consistent runner, and predictions are freely made that he will some day equal the figures made by the champion. Moon, an Oregon freBhman, made a great rec ord in the sprints, especially in the 220-yard dash. Among the other sprinters of the vear was Martin, of Whitman, and I Montgomery, of Idaho, although both of these men were beaten by Huston and Moon. Martin is a strong runner, but he does not put up a hard fight at the finish of his races. Smithson a Great Athlete. Smlthson's work in the high hurdle race during the recent P. N. A. meet was a revelation to the spectators. De spite a bad track and a sharp turn just at the finish, Smithson made a record of 15 2-5 seconds. The spectators were prepared for some fast work, but they were dumbfounded when they learned that they had seen a man run in al most record time. Smithson is one of the cleverest hurdlers that the coun try has produced. Among the college men of the North west, Kuykendall, of Oregon, and Phil brook, of Whitman, made good time in the high hurdle race, while Montgomery, of Idaho, and Huston, of Oregon, showed up well in the 230-yard hurdles. In Greenhow, of O. A. C, and Edmun son, of Idaho, the Northwest has two first-class 440-yard sprinters. These men did not meet this year; in fact, they have never met on the cinder path since Ed munson beat Greenhaw in the famous half-mile run. at the Lewis and Clark Exposition games three years ago. Green haw's best event Is the 440-yard dash, however, and it is extremely doubtful whether the Idaho man could brat the Corvallls flyer in that event. Edmun son is probably the best all-around run ner that the Pacific Coast has seen. In the interstate meet at Seattle two weeks ago he won the 440, 880 and mile runs, be sides a fast lap In the relay race. Friends of the Idaho man say that he is the peer of any man In the country in the SSO-yard run and the fact that he defeated Glarner, of Olympic, in a recent try-out in the 880-metec race, proves that he Is fast. SPECIFIC BLOOD POISO.V. Others dose the system with min eral poisons scarcely less danger ous than the disease Itself. The best they hope to do by this treat ment Is to keep the disease from manifesting its presence upon the surface of the body. Under my treatment the entire system Is cleansed. The last taint of virus Is destroyed. Every symptom van ishes to appear no more. I employ harmless, blood - cleansing remedies heretofore unknown in the treat ment of this disease. They cure by neutralizing and absolutely de stroying the poison In the system. Such cures cannot be other than complete and permanent. STRICTURE. My treatment for stricture re moves the necessity for surgical operations even In severe cases of long standing. I do no catting nor dieting. No other physician em ploys my methods of overcoming this disorder, so the service I offer you is original and distinctive. Do not give up hope because - others have failed. I will cure you and the cure will be a prompt and pain-' less one. My treatment dissolves the stricture, subdues all Inflam mation, relieves all Irritation or congestion that may exist In the kidneys or bladder, reduces en largement of the prostate gland and restores health and tone In all or gans affected by the disease. All medicine are prepared in my own private laboratory and are ab solutely fre3h and pure. Glarner Is a swift runner, his work In the recent P. N. A, meet proving his; speed beyond all doubt. - ' Davolt. of O. A. C. ; Johnson. Cooll and Clark, of W. S. C. nnd Clark, of Seat-, tie, are all first-class rollers. Young Clark, of Seattle, gave Davolt a hard race in the recent P. N. 'A. meet.- and with more experience will make a very fast man. ' Multnomah deserves great credit for the success of the P. N. A; meet, not only be cause of her own victory, but because of the business-like way In which the meet was conducted. The events went along without any friction and nothing disturbed the pleasure of the spectators or contestants. When the improvements at Multnomah Field have been completed Portland will have an athletic field second to none in the I'nlted States. High Tribute to the West. The selection of Gilbert. Kelley and Smithson for the Olympic team Is not only a high tribute to the West, but it is a fitting recognition of the services of three great athletes. The recent work of Gilbert speaks for Itself and those who saw Smithson run In the P. N. A. games know that he has proved the wis dom of his choie. There are some who doubt Kelly's sprinting ability, but no one denies his worth as a jumper. In fact, it is generally agreed that the Baker City boy is without a peer among the world's broad Jumpers. The fact that he leaped more than 25 feet In a recent try-out proves conclusively that he is not a "has been." Kelly's work in the sprints at the Jamestown exposition was a great dis appointment to his Oregon friends, but he still has their confidence and there are many athletic enthusiasts in these parts who believe that Kelly still lias a future on ths cinder path. An Injury prevented Kelly from participating in the recent try-outs for the Olympic team, but it seems that he is to be taken to Lon don anyhow, as one of the American jumpers. What he might have dono in the sprints is only a matter of conjecture, but it is safe to assume that he would have made a better record than he made at Jamestown last Summer. . Successful Sru-son Closed. j The past season lias been an active one,' not only among the colleges and clubs, but also among the schools and acade-i mies of the Northwest. Successful Inter-' scholastic meets were held at Whitman, Pullman, Washington and Corvallls, each being in charge of the colleges where the meets took place. Besides these events.: there was the big interscholastic meet in Eastern Oregon, the Salem-Eugene dual contest and the Portlund Interscholastic-. League championship. Tho writer suggests Multnomah Field as the proper place for a Northwest con ference meet. The six colleges that have taken out membership in the conference can well afford to hold a championship meet here next Spring. With the increas ing interest in track athletics and th splendid facilities at Multnomah Field, there is no reason why a Northwest con ference meet should not prove a success in every way. There is some talk of holding a confer ence meet at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacltic exposition next year, hut in viow of the fact that less than 400 people witnessed the recent interstate meet at Seattle, it seems to me that Portland has a better claim to the big event and that it should be held here annually, commencing next year.
