Vuderllle Performer Who Saw the
Olympic Gaines Declares Oregon
Boy Was Cleanest Athlete
Among World' Entries.
A mot graphic story of tho great
Msrs'hon race, as well as the other ath
letic sports dutlnir the recent Olymplo
a-amea held at London, Is told by Eugene
L. Winchester, a vaudeville performer
recently at the Orpheum, who recently
returned to America after a successful
season In Europe. Mr. "Winchester's
story of the London games Is as fol
low: "I was at the ending of the Olymplo
fames, with the runnlns of the Marathon
ra'e. the finish of which was in the
stadium. Fifty-seven of the world's
greatest runners started In the race. 36 1-3
miles distant, solng over a course the
goal of which was the stadium. ImaKlne,
If you can. IOO.OjO people Inside that great
structure, with their eyes glued for an
hour on a small entrance of the stadium
through which the runners were to enter
upon the last 2'0 yards of their tremen
dous struggle.
Thought Dorando Was Dead.
"A cannon was to announce the arrival
of the first runner. There we all sat.
training our eyes and our ears, with
very nerve concentrated. After a while
we heard a 'boom.' and then we saw the
form of a man struggle up the Incline to
the stadium. A mighty roar went up
from tile W.no people, only to die out
as quickly as it was started. One look
at the awful, ghastly face of the
runner was enough. It was Do
rmjido who had staggered Into the stad
ium, the first In the great race. We saw
him stop for a second, stagger, then fall
headlong down the Incline to the cinder
path. A cry went up from the crowd.
We thought him dead, but he struggled
to his feet, his eyes staring unknowingly
at the throng, and the expression of his
face showing that he did not realize
where he was or that we were cheering
him on to victory. The goal was only a
stone's throw away, but Porando was
plainly delirious from the effects of the
heartbreaking contest.
"Willing hands and the tumultuous en
thusiasm of thousands urged him on
toward the goal, only to be met and
answered by another fall from the ex
hausted man. The pace had been too
fast, and nature refused to respond to
the desire for victory. A third time he
was picked up and placed on his feet,
only to fall down again.
"Women fainted and strong men
sickened at the sight and turned away
their beads, only to look back again
and witness the brave little Italian's
pitiful efforts to rise to his feet. Flva
times he fell, and as many times h
waa picked up again. Ten yards and
tha goal would have been won. but
he couldn't make It. There he lay, a
huddled, quivering mass, unable to
crawl or struggle over the ten yards
of spaca that stretched between him
and victory.
Great Applause for Hayes.
Just then came another mighty roar
from the wildly excited crowd; then
John F. Hayes, the Irish-American
Athletic Club runner, ataggered up tha
Incline exhausted and desperate, the
terrific strain showing in every line of
his face and body. But he went straight
en toward the goal. The excitement
was Intense. Would Porando. by a
supreme effort, cover the thin space
that lay so near? Men were shouting
Into those dead ears of his that he
niust go on. Willing hands picked
up the almost lifeless body and car
ried It across the tape, a moral win
ner, but officially out of the race and
loser, ten yards short, while 60 yards
behind came Hayes, the pride of Amer
ica, tha winner.
"The finish of that race waa tba
Ight of a lifetime, and while I have
aeen everything In the line of sports
all over the world, from a prixe-flght
In America to a bull fight In Spain. I
never saw anything half so cruel, yet
at the same time grand and Inspir
ing. "America cannot be too proud of
brave little liayes, the winner of the
great event
"Another great American feat the
day of the Marathon was the victory
In the high hurdles. This man Smith
son is a bird. His feat in winning the
hurdles was the most spectacular event
of the entire games held within the
atadlum. I tell you it was grand to
sea the easy and graceful manner in
which that lad sailed over the bar
riers and finished first among as
classy a bunch of hurdlers as ever
wore the spikes of a sprinter. Why.
in his preliminary heats when he was
pitted against the English and other
Kuropean hurdlers, he simply ran away
from them and could have walked home
a winner In each of his three prelim
inary trials. It was like taking candy
from the baby for hlra to win the hur
dles, and 'after he had won his first
beat. I for one, picked him as the
classiest man In the bunch of Ameri
cans. English Prove I'oor Losers.
"The Englishmen proved the poorest
kind of sportsmen during these games.
In fact they proved rank quitters In
a good many instances. Not a single
one of them made the least kind of a
showing In any of the sprints or run
ning events not even this fellow
Hatleswelle. for the American. Carpen
ter, beat him eastly. The whole trou
ble with the Britishers In this event
was the fact that Halleswelle was a
military man. and for any one. no mat
ter who tt might have been, to beat
one of their godlike soldlera was a
crime. They took the only way left
.whereby they could claim the race for
him. The real story of the HOU-meter
race Is that the m-rtcan runners sim
ply ran the Britisher off his feet.
"In every event worthy of notice as
an athletx sport the Americans were
victorious, and the barren victories won
by the English at archery, ping-pong
and the other alleged sports, are poor
titles at best."
Whlla in England KedTord and Win
chester had the honor of appearing
before the King and Queen of England
at the Earl of Lonsdale's house ter
race, and were personally complimented
by tha King. They were at tha Or
pheum last week-

MARIOX COCSTY TILLAGE 13
CHHLISTEXED BY ACTOISTS.
Required to Toot Horns at Every
Street When Passing Through
This Place.
Autoraoblllsts have rechrlstened Au
rora, the pioneer German town of
Marlon County. By them It no longer
will be known by the designation given
the place by the colony of sturdy pio
neers which settled there in an early
day and staked off their homes. It has
been dubbed "Honk Honk Town." The
reason arises from the fact that at
the north and south boundary limits of
the corporation the town authorities
have posted large algna admonishing
chauffeurs not to exceed a speed limit
of eight miles an hour while passing
through the city. They are warned
further to toot their horns at each
street crossing.
Now Aurora Is not a large place and
the road leading h rough the town is
said not to cover more than half a
dozen blocks. Chauffeurs comply with
the instructions literally, with the re
sult that by reason of the fact that
Aurora's Mocks are not to exceed 200
feet in length, tha operator of a ma
chine keeps up a continuous honk
honk from the time he enters the city
until he paaaea out of Its corporate
limits.

the coveted honor. It Is known that the
varsity eleven will be chosen from ths
training table squad.
The men picked by Coach Forbes as
members of the first squad are: Captain
Moullen. Glllls, Newton, KUtz. Clarke.
Plnkham. Latourette. Main and Michael.
Trainer Hayward and Coach Forbes ara
also eating with the squad. As other
men demonstrate their ability the num
ber will be Increased to 16 and possibly
IS.
Captain Moullen and Coach Forbes have
very little to say at this time in regard
to prospects. Thev are working consist
ently with the men and the systematlo
and careful training of Coach Forbes and
his assistants becomes more noticeable at
each practice. The men are working

no less than seven or eight All-Northwest
players. The old men will not all
be In good condition, however, and
their opportunities for practice will
be limited. They are coming bark to

gan and Hyatt, the two Vancouver slug
gers who go to faster company next sea
son, maintained their strong stick work
through the balance of the season after
their sale to the big league clubs waa
announced. Flanagan's percentage of
hits Is the greatest Hyatt leads by a
wide mar gain in extra base hitting, with
Bennett, of Seattle, his nearest rival.
The average of .854 Is seven points
above Householder's mark in 1907 and
one notch below that of Lynch in 1906
and five points above Rowan in 1905.
which gives some idea of ths relative
batting strength of the big sluggers
from year to year. Flanagan's is the
most noticeable mark as compared with
other players in the league, for tha
averages as a whole this year are far
lower than usual. At least a score of
first-class pitchers played havoc with
batting averages this season.

Washington Calls for Tot of Con
ference Schools on Interpretation
of Regulation That Is Con
sidered Too Drastic
BT REPEmS.
The faculty athletic committee of the
Washington State College has addressed
a circular letter to all members of the
conference asking for a vote relative to
the Interpretation of the article effect
ing athletes who have participated In col
lege sports during the time when they
were preparatory students.
Rule 1, pertaining to eligibility, says:
"No student who has participated In any
Intercollegiate games or contests, during
four previous years, shall represent any
institution In this conference In any in
tercollegiate game or contest."
Under "Date of Taking Effect, the
ruling says:
"This agreement shall take effect in
each Institution immediately after Its
commencement exercises in 1908."
Restricts Competition In College.
Strict Interpretation of the combination
of these two clauses means that a man
who has competed in intercollegiate ath
letics while in the preparatory depart
ment of any institution will be excluded
from athletics for all or part of his col
lege years if he remains In one of the
Northwest Conference colleges. He may
go to Stanford. Berkeley. Tale or Mich
igan and nothing but his college record
will count. A strict interpretation of the
rules excludes Rader. of Pullman; PhU
brook and Lyman, of Whitman: Edmon
son, of Idaho, and several others.-
Prospective victims are Jamison, of
O A. C, and Huston, of Oregon, each
of whom participated In college athletics
while doing preparatory work. If the
Northwest Conference wants to drive
these and others equally good men away
to California and the East, the trick can
be speedily turned by a strict construc
tion of the rules.
The writer has repeatedly stated his
views on this question and has been se
verely criticised by the "holier-than-thou"
element of the Northwest Conference. In
all fairness to tha young men In whose
behalf the question has leen raised, noth
ing but a liberal construction of the rules
Hyatt is the prime run-getter, with an
even 100 to his credit, his nearest rivals
being Donovan and Nordyke, of his own
club.
In extra base hitting Cahill. of Seat
tle, leads in two-baggers; James, of
Spokane, and Swain, of Butte, in triples,
and Frisk, of Seattle, in homers. Swain
leads in total extra bases with 79, Hyatt
In total bases, with 260.
In base-running J. Bennett, of Seattle,
nosed out Clynes In the last week of the
season, the Seattle man leading with
49. with 47 for the Spokane man. Once
again Hyatt is found near the top, be
ing tied with Klppert with 43. which
shows Just about how good an all-round
man for a young recruit Pittsburg has
picked up for next season.
Cartwrlght leads Nordyke in laying
the ball down, with 45 sacrifice hits to
44. The Vancouver captain Is well up In
every department of the game, and In
addition to this table, leads the first
basemen In fielding. The individual

In May last the Cadillac Company entered into
a contract with the American people to deliver to
them at a price of $1400 ten thousand cars such as
had hitherto been sold at double and triple this
price.
We promised that the first car would be on the
streets of Detroit by July 1st, and fulfilled that
promise to the letter.
We promised that on October 1st the first lot of
demonstrating cars would be shipped to our deal
ers throughout the country. That promise we als9
fulfilled to the letter.
We further promised to produce a car that in
quality at a quantity price would exceed your
fondest hopes and expectations. This promise, too,
we have redeemed in ample measure. How well
youll have every opportunity to judge for your
self now.
From this time on, the great Cadillac plant at
Detroitv-whose perfection alone makes this car
possible at such a price will run all night and all
day with thousands of men working incessantly
from sun-up to sun-up.
In the interim inspired by the royal welcome
accorded the Cadillacs other candidates for your
favor have arisen in motordom offering cars at a
popular price.
The sole purpose of this announcement is to
point out to you what you will instantly recognize
yours. If when you see the Cadillac the distinc
tion that must be made between this Cadillao
Thirty at $1400 and any other car at an approxi
mate price. .
The Cadillao is as absolutely alone in the new
high-power high-grade low-priced field, which it
has itself created, as tho' no other car had been
built which aspired to comparison.
Your first evidence of this will be vouchsafed

can be made; at least the rules should
tie liberally construed In their retroactive
sense. The young men who now find
themselves on tha Ineligible list had no
previous notice of the nonsensical rule,
or perhaps some of them would have
kept out of college athletics while they
were doing preparatory work. They are
now the victims of one of the most un
wise and unjust pieces of athletic legisla
tion ever foisted upon an unsuspecting
college world. No conference In the
land has ever gone on record with so
drastlo and so foolish a rule as tha one
m question
Should Not Be Retroactive.
The writer has no hope of seeing a
proper construction of the rules made.
He would urge the young men whose
names have been mentioned to retire to

of Its rulings are saio aim
should have been, however, a definite
understanding as to the rule In ques
tion. Under no circumstances should the
rule have been made retroactive.
The Conference rules give the faculty
athletic committee or other governing
body of each institution the sole au
thority to make final decisions regarding
the eligibility of Its men. With the cus
tomary cowardice that la typical of col
lege athletic authorities the faculty of
Washington State College has shifted
the responsibility onto the Conference.
Whether Rader and one or two other
members of the Pullman team v.ej.1 be al
lowed to play will be decided at Eugene,
Corvallls. Walla Walla and other places
where the Conference colleges are lo
cated, and not Pullman where the ques
tions arose and .where they should be
threshed out. A uniform Interpretation
Is all well and good, but the Jelly fish
authorities should have the nerve to
i, . j.Msion nt their own rather than
try to shift their responsibility.
Idaho-Washington Game Orf.
The unfortunate squabble which has
been going on between Idaho and Wash
ington Is at an end and a definite an
nouncement has been made to the effect
that there will be no football game be
tween these institutions this season.
This announcement has caused wide
spread regret, for the Idaho-Washington
contest has become one of the classic
events of Northwest athletics. Washing
ton was counting on Idaho for the
Thanksgiving date, but Idaho scheduled
a Thanksgiving game with Utah, at Salt
Lake City, and left Washington high and
dry Washington demanded that this
year's game with Idaho be played In
Seattle, but Inasmuch as the games of
the last two seasons had been played In
that city Idaho demanded the game for
Moscow or Spokane.
The wrangle which has been on for
several months has worn Itself out and
has exhausted the patience of a long
suffering public. Washington Is now
figuring on O. A. C. for a Seattle game on
Thanksgiving day. but the Oregon Aggies
already have a Thanksgiving match with
Willamette. With the exception of the
University of Oregon, no Northwest team
has made a definite announcement of its
schedule. Oregon's season will begin
nxt Saturday when Coach Forbes will
match his men against a bunch of alumni
stars.

You will see at a glance that it is not, in the last
analysis, a $1400 car but that in size, in luxunous

mechanically-perfect car should be.
You will scan the horizon in vain for a single
other car at an approximate price which ap
proaches the Cadillac even in this one element of
bigness, and dignity and beauty.
And as you pursue the subject into the details

you will see that in addition to being the only big

The Cadillac Company is alone in its ability
to produce a big high-grade high-powered car at a

Tells About "Boring" Incident -In
Olympian 400-Meter Kace.
LONDON, Oct. 9. (Dispatch to Chi

troversy over the running of the 400
meter race at the recent Olympic game,
won by J. C. Carpenter from Lieutenant
Wyndham Halawelle, but the American
being disqualified for alleged boring and
the race awarded to Halswelle, has In
duced Halswelle to give his view of the
race for the first time. He writes:
Car;eiiter did not strike me any vig
orous blow with his elbow, nor were there
any marks on my chest, nor did I say
that Carpenter struck me or show any
marks to any press representative. I
did not attempt to pass the American
until the last corner."
Continuing. Halswelle says that when
he attempted to pass Carpenter the lat
ter's elbow undoubtedly touched his chest
and that Carpenter kept his right arm In
front of him. In this manner. Halswelle
says, he was "bored" across two-thirds
of the track and his running stopped.
He says further that he was too close to
Carpented to pass Inside that runner.
