S 1 MANY AUTOS WILL TAKE TRIP NORTH BEAVERS TO MEET SEALS THIS WEEK THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, AUGUST 1. 1909. WE MAM)' Hundred Machines Expected to Leave for Seattle Fair on August 15. MOUNT HOOD RUN TODAY Fifty Members 'of Club Will Speed Over Ideal Roads to Welch's Camp, Leaving Portland at 7:30 o'clock. Plana lor the ran of the Portland Auto mobile Club to Seattle for participation In the festivities of Its day at the A.-Y.-P. Fair on Tuesday. August 17, are- nearing completion. Every detail which may add to the comfort and pleasure of the auto ista on the run Is receiving- attention. President Werame and Secretary Llpman, In conjunction with the committee ap pointed several weeks ago by the club, are striving earnestly to make the event a success. Since the designation of the requested date by the exposition management last week, advices have been received from the Seattle Automobile Club to the effect that the rubber-tired caravan from Port land will be welcomed upon its arrival In the exposition city. An elaborate pro gramme for the reception and entertain ment of the members of the local club and the autoists who will Join them in the run is now being outlined by the Seat tle club. With the selection of the confetti car. which will precede the caravan In its start from Kelso on Sunday morning, Au gust 15. all the minor details of the run have been completed. Two commodious barges have been engaged to transport the lighter machines across the river to Kelso, where all the participants and ma chines will assemble before the Journey northward. Provisions have been made along tho route for the supply of gasoline and other essentials. Through Secretary Llpman. the local club is urging all the members to sign pledges for their participation in the run . not later than August 7. Th's Is being done to ascertain the extent of hotel, garage and other accommodations which will be required during the stay of three days In Seattle. Already 0 members of the organization, besides a score of other local autoists. have signed the pledges. It Is expected that st least 100 machines will leave Portland Sunday, August 15. The bi-monthly "fricassee run" of the Portland Automobile Club will be made today to Welch's camp, at the foot of Mount Hood. Over 100 chickens have been prepared by the proprietor of the camp and will be awaiting the autoists upon their arrival. The "fricassee run" has become a popular pastime with the mem bers of the club. The good roads to and from the camp add great pleasure to the outing. About 50 members of the club, with friends, are expected to take the Jaunt today. A dozen of the party left yesterday afternoon, and will greet the remainder of the autoists. who will leave from the Oregon Hotel at 7:30 o'clock this morning. Beginning August 1. all hut those bear ing membership cards will be excluded from the accommodations at the House Boat Club at Troutdale. Until that time the hospitalities of the club will remain open to all autoists and their friends. Al though but recently established, the House Boat Club has sprung Into popu larity, and has become a rendezvous for motorists seeking a pleasurable 15-itille Jaunt from the city. It has become the scene of many delightful dinner parties and auto-soclety events. Two dinner par ties were given last week, while bridge and luncheon parties were held nearly every day. A number of local motorists have adopted the fad of spinning out to the club each morning. F Julian Street, the writer. In his "Mod ern Mercuries." a story of racing drivers, tells this typical incident of George Rob ertson, the winner of the Vanderbilt cup, who Is now under contract with the Harry S. Houpt Company to drive Houpt and Herreshoff cars: "Big. solid, sunny George Robertson, who looks as though nothing could move hlrn. Is neverthejess a very high-strung driver. In a race I have seen him act ing like a raving maniac. He has been known to strike the men In the supply pits when they did not show speed enough to suit him. He is absolutely in trepid and gives one the Idea that he Is forcing his car to the utmost all the time which Is pretty nearly true. Some time after the BriarcllfT race a friend told me that Robertson had hurled a monkjy- wrench at another driver who deliberately tried to block him. "The next time I saw him I spoke of this story. "Robertson seemed Incensed at such a libelous tale. He denied it vehemently. " 'What? Me? Me throw a monkey, wrench at any one? Well. I guess not! Do you think I'm crazy T " "No. no. George,' I said pacifically. I only asked.' " "W hy.' he continued, 'I might need my monkey-wrench more than any other tool! Throw it away? Not me.' "He stepped over to his car and picked up a handful of nuts and bolts. " 'See these? That's what we throw. They do just as good as a wrench, and we can spare 'em.' " E. E. Cohen, manager of the Maxwell Agency, has Just returned from a trip to the Maxwell factories. He found the sutomobile business in the East In a flourishing condition. All of the manu facturers of any consequence are enlarg ing their factories for n increased out rut for 1910. While he was there the Maxwell people purchased a four-story building at Providence. R. I., to be used as an additional factory site. The Max well output for 1910 will be 50.000 ma chines. HOLP REGATTA THIS WEEK Oarsmen of United States and Can ' ada to Meet. BOSTON. Mass. July 31. (Special.) Notwithstanding the absence of any entries from the Portland Rowing Club, of Portland. Or., whose oarsmen ac quitted themselves so well in 1906. this year's annual regatta of the National AssociaUon of Amateur Oarsmen at De troit on Friday and Saturday of next week promises to be. In many respects, the best on Its long list. The presence of oarsmen from one end of Canada to the other, combined with a tremendous ly strong rowing representation east of the Mississippi River and beyond, assures this. By no means the least Interesting of the Canadians will be the delegation from the Vancouver Boat Club of British Columbia, whose successes In the recent Northwestern regatta at Seattle resulted In the entry at Detroit. The Winnipeg Boat Club, whose oars men have globe-trotted quite exten sively, will be well and largely repre sented. Against the oarsmen of the Upper Mississippi at St. Paul they made practically a clean sweep of the senior events. Six years ago on Lake Qulnsigamond, In Worcester, Mass., the Winnipeg four convinced some of the effete Easterners that they knew a whole lot about rowing. A Winnipeg crew has also rowed at Hen ley. Eastern Canada is as well represent ed as Western Canada. From the St Alary's A. A. of Halifax will go John O'Nlell. winner of the association sin gles last year at Springfield. Mass., and In line for the championship title thl time. O'Nlell Is being coached by that sterling ex-amateur, Frank B. L. Greer. National amateur champion for several years, who won back the title at Springfield last Auirust, Immediately afterward retiring from the amateur ranks. O'Nlell was one of those whom Greer defeated that day. A Canadian newcomer is the Lachlne Boat Club of Montreal, over which Charles Stephenson, assistant crew coach at Harvard, is in charge, assisted by Roger Cutler, who stroked the Har vard varsity in its winning race against Yale at New London this year. The lachlne oarsmen are pretty sure to be heard from before the medals are awarded. At least four Toronto rowing organi zations will be well represented at De troit. The two cities are virtually op posite each, are easily accessible to each other, and thus the Toronto men have a chance to enter liberally. Ot tawa and Quebec oarsmen are also ex pected. The Interstate Commerce Commission has ruled that the railroads may give the free use of a car for the transpor tation of shells to oarsmen who travel together on the same train in parties of 60 or more. This is a big lift in ex pense and means many more entries. From New Tork alone there will prob ably be 60 oarsmen at the regatta, in cluding the crack New York A. C. eight and many another winning combina tion. Philadelphia will send a good entry. Boston will send a few oarsmen and Baltimore. Washington and Spring field are other Eastern cities to be counted upon. Naturally the Mound City Rowing Club's delegation will be the largest from St. Louis, but five other clubs from there will enter. St. Paul and New Orleans are also being counted on to Increase the entries substantially. FANDOM AT RANDOM fyaAC'S men dropped yesterday's game I I because they did not play baseball. Now they must win today in order to take the series. After Jesse Garrett mounted the hill top there was nothing doing for the Oaklanders. Jesse fanned Carroll, Duf fy Lewis and Hogan successively in the ninth. Maybe that bunch of Colts did not play some baseball yesterday. hief Plnnance pitched 22 Innings without al lowing a run. After losing the first two games the Colts won four straight, and are due to play Vancouver at Seattle this after noon. With Gough up It looks like an other win. Funny how Vernon loses so consist ently to Los Angeles. Perhaps Danny Long might explain some things when he comes here next week that Is if he comes. It is especially notable that the Ver non club had to dispose of Its best pitcher Just before meeting Los An geles. Of course this can be explained readily. Buddy Ryan was again the ' plnch hitting kid, for Buddy's two-sacker scored Portland's first run. Later in the game Buddy was called out on a foul once and popped out another time. Next week San Francisco comes to Portland for the purpose of taking four out of the six games. Danny Long says they will and he ought to know, be ing the boss of the umpires. The southpaws, Jensen and Seiver, had a pitchers' battle at Spokane yes terday, the former winning because his teammates registered one run, the only score of the game, in the ninth.

DANNY LONG TO BE HERE Secretary of Circuit and San Fran cisco Manager Finally Finds Time to Attend Series in This City. BT W. J. PE TRAIN. Commencing next Tuesday afternoon the Portland fans will be furnished with a treat in baseball, for the hardest series of the season will be inaugurated be tween the Portland and San Francisco clubs. During the past month the Port land team has been climbing the ladder steadily, and when MeCredie's boys face the Seals, who are leading the league, the crucial test of the mid-season strength of both teams will result. Daniel W. Long, secretary of the Pacific Coast League, and in that posi tion the boss of the umpires, who is like wise manager of the San Francisco Club, Is said to have finally decided to come to Portland with his team and see for himself Just what kind of a town Port land is. Daniel, being a native Callfor nian, and also very much taken up with the antics of the Seals, has hitherto found his -time altogether too valuable to travel to the "bush" extremity of the league. Now that he is coming, or likely to come, the Portland fans should prepare themselves to kow tow in the most humble manner. Just think of it, Danny, the brains and backbone of the league, is finally coming to Portland. Why, the MeCredles will show the height of disrespect If they don't meet him at the depot with a corps of re tainers and a brass band. nut erionaiv. the visit of .Long may open his eyes more than even the nice fat checks Nick Williams has been ac customed to take home eacn lime um aAi i .. Vi Anvhow. the visit nf ttict innnt hurt ii v more than the same courtesy on the part of any other mogul Irom tne continuous uti&eum ucn. Ish Will Also Come. Frank M. Ish, uncle of J. Cal Ewlng. who has the reputation of being one of the hrewdest business men of San Fran cisco, Is also planning to visit Portland. However. Ish Is not a stranger to mis city, and his coming will be appreciated. He is really the financial Dacaer oi m San Francisco Club, and a man who nosseAses considerable baseball knowl edge; possibly even more than his nephew. Dsr.ny Long, one day recently, waxed boastful and delivered a peroration to the mnuthniece of the San rrancisco magnates In which he calmly announced that San Francisco would take tour out of the six games to be played in Port-t land. Of course, Danny knows, and It may be that he iB coming to Portland for the purpose of adding his august pres ence towards intimidating the more or less easily intimidated umpires. Still, it is not always good policy to boast, even If one happens to be secre tary of the league and boss of the" um pires, for the Portland team right now Is in better condition to give the Seals battle than at any other time this sea son. For this reason the fans believe that even though Long Is present, the home team will show the Seals the route In at least the majority of the games. Manager McCredie Is confident that he will capture at least four of the games and there is not a single player among the members of that fast-going bunch but who believes Just as does the man ager, i Team ow at Best. working better together than at any IN RESPONSIBILITY FOR PORTLAND'S WINNING STREAK. Iff! 1 il l il l time since the season opened. If San Francisco gets better than an even break It will be because the boys fall down In 'batting as well as fielding. Just at present there are no Bigns of lapses In either department and all hands will be fit for a gruelling battle when the Seals Invade the Vaughn-street lot. This coming series with the Seals, by the way, will be the last visit of that club to Portland this season, for the schedule includes no more trips North for the lads from the Golden Gate. It will also be the third appearance of that team on the Vaughn-street lot, and all hands hope that the series will be chalked down on Portland's side of the score sheet. If McCredie does not beat San Francisco on the Portland lot, he stands but a small chance In the Seals' backyard. " The prospects of a gruelling series and some fast and snappy baseball will bring out record crowds during the week, for everyone wants to see the two teams fighting for the pennant. The San Fran cisco Club has so far managed to escape the loss of a series since the opening week at Sacramento. On its last appear ance in Portland MeCredie's lads se cured an even break by winning three of the six games played. This time the boys are after at least four of the six games. Britt Loses Match. LONDON, July 31. Johnny Summers, English featherweight pugilist, de feated Jimmy Britt, American light weight, in the ninth round at the Me morial Grounds in Westheim this after noon. The contest was scheduled to go 20 rounds and was for $500 a side and half the gate receipts. Portland should have had a flock of runs in the first inning, but when Ryan was caught on the failed squeeze play, Christian settled down. dots not cost more than other brands of beer, even though recognized and admitted to be th leading beer on the Pacific Coast, 10 why not secure the best, if you have not already done sot EXPERIENCE AND MONEY hf.ve kept our beer so far in the lead for the past quarter of a century that connoisseurs will drink only " Weinhard's."

It can hardly be called the end of the season, 'for here the season is from everlasting unto everlasting. For a week, and for another to come, the Bungalow, happy home of those chummy persons, "K. & E.," Is a cave of gloom,, tenanted only by "Fred" and "George," who sit at the wicket to tell comers to stick around until the Au tumn, when there will be a good show. Occasionally "Billy" and "Calvin H." show up to take a look at the adver tising curtain, but otherwise all is peace and quiet. It has been a good year theatrically for Portland, despite the shifting of managements, the closing of the Heilig. and other tribulations. ' Out of a long list of creditable at tractions, the discriminating observer would probably select as the very best, "The Honor of the Family," that splen did comedy in which Otis Skinner ap peared so brilliantly. Three others run very closely for first honors. These were "Salvation Nell," "The Wolf and "The Chorus Lady." Thre were many other fine things given us, but the ones named were the cream. Next season's bookings look better than any In recent years, and when September comes we may expect some thing exceptionally good. Harry Irwin, formerly a well-known newspaper man, for some time a mem ber of the Btaff of the Kansas' City Star, appears in "La Petete Revue." He Is the basso whose voice attracted such wide attention during the engagement. - A card from Donald Bowles an nounces that he is very happily lo cated In St. Paul, and is enjoying his work as stage director of the James Nelll stock company. Izetta Jewel, her mother, Mrs. Ken ny, Miss Hazel Jewel and a party of friends made the run to Mount Hood in their motor car, Sunday. Miss Elizabeth Goodall has been en gaged for the principal woman's role In "Lo," by Harry Askin. Her part will be that of a fiery Spanish noblewoman, the Countess Delia Plata, who has an idea that she is a sort o composite Jean d'Arc and Boadicia, with a mission to reclaim Yucatan. Miss Goodall has been acting Georgia Drew's Mendum's old role of Mol lie Kelley for Mr. Askin in a road cast of "The Time, the Place and the Girl," but she had a sound training in the legiti mate and was for some years a member of the Charles Frohman forces, acting with E. H. Sothern, Virginia Harned and William Favereham. Franklin P. Adams and O. Henry have delivered the complete libretto of "Lo," and the work of engag ing the company is going forward. Mr. Askin has been forehanded enough to ob tain a large allotment of "time" in Seat tle in the height of the Yukon exposition's season, so that "Lo" will divide with George M. Cohan in "The Yankee Prince," the musical comedy patronage of the Au. tumn visitors at the fair. The Nelll stock company in St. Paul had a fine week with "The Man on the Box," with the following players: James Neill, George Alison, Donald Bowles, Charles Clary, George Bloomquist, Jack Armory, Fred Wallace, El M. Leonard, George A. Stevenson, Fred, Wallace, Wil bert de Rouge, Bdythe Chapman, Ethel von Waldron, Julia Walcott and Ruby Thorpe- "The Warrens of Virginia" will be used all the present week. William Faversham has secured the rights for a new play by Charles Frederic Nlrdllnger, just completed. Mr. Nlrdllng er, who is the author of "The World and His Wife," which Mr. Faversham pro duced last Winter, is now in England and was lately the guest of Mr. Faversham at his country home at Chiddingfold, Sur rey. John Bowers, last season leading man with Donald Robertson, will be Beulab. Poynter's principal support this coming season. "The Beauty Spot" will close its run at the Herald Square Theater on Saturday evening. August 14, and will go on tour. "The Broken Idol" will be the following attraction there, opening on Monday even ing, August la Marie Dressier' tour will begin in Oc tober. A musical comedy has been se lected for her. Contracts were signed the other day by Reginald De Koven and Harry B. Smith, PRICE Ml , 1 P 1. 1 72 EDITED BV ARTHUR A. GREENE. with Oscar Hammersteln, for the produc tion of "Trilby" as a grand opera at the Manhattan Opera House and the Philadelphia Opera House. Mr. Smith uses the de Maurier book rather than the existing play as a foundation for his libretto in order to permit the introduc tion of new effects and lyrics advance ment, and give Mr. De Koven the oppor tunity to use his musical gifts in a work of deep impression. Mr. De Koven is now devoting himself exclusively to his compositions for the opera, this being his first effort in the creation of a grand opera. The agreement calls for delivery of the work. during the Fall of 1910, Mr. Hammersteln consenting to a production of magnificence, both In the selection of a cast and ensemble. In all .likelihood, Mary Garden will create the role of Trilby. With the production of Victor Herbert and Bidder's grand opera, "Na thome," by Mr. Hammersteln at the Manhattan Opera House and the Phila delphia Opera House during the coming season, and the De Koven and Smith grand opera, "Trilby," Mr. Hammersteln Is giving an Impetus to native com posers, the effect of which will prove In estimable to the musical education of our country. . A private performance . of the "Gay Hussars" was given at the Garden Thea ter, New York, last Wednesday. The audience was made up of Henry W. Sav age's players. The tour of "Beverly of Graustark" will begin on August 21. Frank Mills has gone to Europe until September. He will be in the cast of "The Earth." "The Golden Garter" is the title of E. E. Kidder's new play for Marguerite Clarke. Margaret Anglin has a fresh vehicle for next season. She will appear In "La Recontre," a play by Pierre Berton, which was produced at the Comedie Francaise on June 21.' , Children under the age of 16 are not permitted to enter New York moving picture houses unless accompanied by an adult. An ordinance imposes a penalty of from J10 to $50 for each violation. Ralph Stuart has given up Btarrlng, and next season will be a member of the company presenting Channing Pollock's "Such a Little Queen." Victor Herbert has completed the score of his first grand opera, "Natoma," and Oscar Hammersteln will produce It at his New York Manhattan Opera-House next season. The libretto is by J. B. Red ding. Florence Roberts, who was forced to give up her engagement at the San Francisco Alcazar Theater ' because of illness, may not act again for a year, al though she had arranged to star under the direction of the Shuberts next sea son. George M. Cohan, who is beyond all question the most prolific native writer of musical plays America has yet pro duced, and internationally famous as the Yankee Doodle comedian. Is going to play one-night stands next season. For the first time In his career, Clyde Fitch has written a play in which he re sorts to murder. This piece Is called "The City," which will be one of the first dramatic productions to be made by the Shuberts this Autumn. Mr. Fitch has requested the Shuberts to keep secret the theme of the story, and, contrary to custom, no- advance information con cerning the plot of the piece will be given. Orrin- Johnson, heretofore identified ex clusively either as a star or a leading man In dramatic productions, surprised his" friends last week by taking the role of the operatic hero in Henry W. Sav age's new production of "The Gay Hus sars." Two years ago Mr. Johnson was advised by the great - baritone Samarco to study for opera, and the actor has been preparing for his vocal debut ever since. He has studied under the best teachers in New. York, and expects to go abroad later on and prepare for grand opera. A pretty compliment was paid to the realism - of "An Englishman's Home" when the pJay was produced in Sydney, Australia, if the following story is not a mere press agent's invention: One of the natives, seeing Brown about to be shot for defending his home, tried to climb over the stage to rescue him. The man shouted out that he was a guards man, and would not allow an English man to be shot by a "furriner." He got among the orchestra, but was collared J. j 3 m 1 "n PORTLAND, OREGON AND PLAYERS and hauled back to the stalls. Finally he said he was going back to England, and would call on the author of the play. Major du Maurier, and punch his head. Digby Bell will be one of the stars of "The Debtors," which J. M. Allison will produce in Buffalo on September 6. The play Is by Margaret Mayo. Kathleen Clifford will be the other star. She will play Little Dorrit. The play is a dra matization of Dickens' "Little Dorrit." Frederic Thompson has completed ail his plans for next season, and now for rehearsals. There Is an Interesting local side to any story concerning Mr. Thomp son, because of the fact that he is the husband of Margaret Mayo, the play wright, who formerly lived in Portland. Booth Tarklngton and Harry Leon Wil son have delivered the manuscript of "Springtime," which will be produced in the middle of October, with Mabel Tali aferro In -the star role. This will be the most pretentious and the most lmpor-. tant of the Thompson productions dur ing the season of 1909-10. Eugene Walter Is writing a new play, "The Assassin," destined to be one of the most forcible of his dramatic writings, and this piece ' with a male star will be shown to tho public for the first time early In the Winter. J. Hartley Manners has com pleted and had accepted by Mr. Thomp son for early production a new play, en titled "The Fool's Comedy." This piece will have a male star, whose name will be announced within a few days. Porter Emerson Browne, whose extraordinary drama, "A Fool There Was," proved one of the decisive hits of last season, has written for Mr. Thompson two new plays, "The Lure" and "Waste." both of which will be seen on Broadway before the holidays. Another new play by a well known novelist and a celebrated actor dramatist, has been accepted and will be produced early in December. Two "Polly of the Circus" companies, one headed by Edith Taliaferro and the other without a featured player, will be seen in the principal cities of the country. "Brews ter's Millions," with Robert Ober as the star, will tour the United States for its fourth season. Robert Hilllard. with his original cast in "A Fool There Was," will be seen in four of the chief cities of the East. "Via Wireless," with the original company which presented it at the Liberty Theafer a year ago, will con tinue to be a leading Thompson attrac tion. All the old players who have been with Mr. Thompson have been re-engaged, and the new plays have made It necessary for the engagement of some of the most celebrated actors and actresses on the. American and English stage. The announcement that Christie Mac Donald and her husband, William Win ter Jefferson, have agreed to separate came as a complete surprise, as it was a case of an ideal couple. I am glad to know it is simply a case of differ ence of opinion and that no scandal is involved. Miss- MacDonald will con tinue in the musical line. Since McKee . Rankin and Nance O'Neii parted company, Mr. Rankin has been in search of a new star. He has selected Betsy Bourke, a young lady who halls from California. She is to appear In "The Woman of It," a new play by Ed Lawshe. For her production of "The Awaken ing of Helena Richie," announced to open the Savoy Theater, New York, in September, Margaret Anglin has en gaged Robert Cummings and Charles Wyngate. After a trio or so of season cruises over theatrical waters not always smooth, Mrs. Leslie Carter is to in trust her next season's tour to E. D. Price, a managerial pilot who in the past has made smooth sailing for star ring craft near wreckage from rash guidance. Under Mr. Price Mrs.- Car ter will inaugurate a tour In Septem ber that will take her through the principal cities of the Northwest and the Far West. Marie Tempest will appear in Ameri ca next Winter under the management of Charles Frohman in "Penelope," a play that has scored a great success in London. She will sail for New York with Mr. Frohman's London company in December, and is to make a five months' tour of the United States. Miss Tempest's previous visit was at the . Empire Theater three years ago. Crew of Sylph Rescue 20. BIDDEFORD POOL, Me., July 31. The President's yacht Sylph last night rescued20 of a party of 29 persons who had been thrown into the Sacro River when a power boat capsized. Two persons are believed to have been drowned.
