COLLEGE STARS PRACTICE
In Addition to Multnomah's Old
Players, Squad Is Strengthened
by Addition of Many Recruits
From Various fnlverslties.
Next Saturday afternoon the first
football game of the season will be
played by the Multnomah Amateur
Athletic Club team, when the contest
ing eleven from Willamette University
at Salem will come to Portland to In
augurate the season of this sport In
Portland.
George W. McMillan, the veteran
player of the club, who is handling
the destinies of the eleven this year,
lias had his men at practice for sev
eral weeks. He predicts a successful
campaign for the honors this season.
At each succeeding practice the club's
eleven shows up better. The bunch
comprises many youngsters Just out
of college who have made their marks
on their varsity eleven, and who are
not anxious to retire from the sport.
As the clubmen depend upon the col
lege graduates to form the nucleus
of their team each year, the present
turnout- is most flattering. Se-eral
stars of the Northwestern universities
and colleges are found enrolled on the
club eleven this season. t
College Stars Appear.
Notable among the new recruits are
several from the University of Oregon,
"Washington State College end Oregon
Agricultural College. The University
of Oregon is represented by Gordon
Moores. one of the best endsL the var
tty ever produced. Merrill Moores,
a brother of Gordon, is also at' regu
lar practice and takes a keen Interest
In the working of the team. Merrill
Moores was formerJy with Cornell Uni
versity, and was rated as a strong
asset to that team. Both he and his
brother have entered into the spirit
of the present situation with a vim.
The lining up of Pendergrass, the
star tackle of the Oregon Agricultural
College team of last season, means
much to Multnomah, for the club loses
the services of Dow V. Walker and
Bert Pilkington. and Pendergrass is
the right man to fill one of the holes
left vacant by the absence of these
two stars. Another good man who will
undoubtedly fill the other position with
credit to himself and the club Is
Cherry, formerly of the Oregon Agri
cultural College and later of the Wash
ington State College, a player of con
siderable note in football circles of the
Northwest.
. Veterans Ale In Line.
Several of the Multnomah veterans
will again be in line, but their num
bers are decreasing each year. This is
Ulil iidiumi, l " ' . " .. " - "
baseball players, must retire some
time, and those of the "vets." aside
from McMillan, are comparatively new
men In point of service. "Bud" James,
one of the best punters the club has
ever had. win again be In line, and
George Carlson, who a few years ago
was a member of the High School team,
will likewise be found at his eld po
sition of center. Frank Callahan.
-Crosby and other veterans have been
participating in the regular practices,
which helps the club considerably.
The opening game of the season,
scheduled for next Saturday, will un
doubtedly be signalized by the presence
of a large crowd of football enthusiasts
who will desire to get a line on the
club's material for the coming season.
Willamette University has always put
out strong football squads, and while
the Salem Institution has not won many
championships, it has always been a
formidable contender In Northwestern
football circles.

CRICKET CLUB ELECTS
ORGANIZATION ALREADY PRE
PARES FOR NEW SEASON.
Matches to Be Played Next Spring
and Summer in California
and British Columbia.
The Portland, Cricket Club, with a
clubhouse- and grounds near Montavilla
that have more than quadrupled in value
since the clua was reorganized on a new
basis a little over three years ago, again
starts on a prosperous season, and the
outlook for 1M0 is bright. The chances
ant that a series of cricket matches will
be played next Spring or Summer with
teams In California, and that the club
members will not play as a unit in
British Columbia cities during the cricket
season of 1910. .
These officers were elected at the an

FINDS PLOT TO FIX JURIES
Chicago Prosecutor Tracing Up Use
of Bogus Venire Cards.
CHICAGO, Oct 8. One of the most
important steps in the widespread in
vestigation by State's Attorney Way
man into the alleged plot to tamper
with Cook County juries was taken yes
terday when a subpoena duces tecum
was served upon the Jury Commission
ers' office calling for Jury cards used
in the Circuit, Superior and Municipal
Courts in the last year.
Searching inquiry by Mr. Wayman
resulted In the discovery that bogus
cards were used to cover up the scheme
to "fix juries." The names of the firms
which printed the cards regularly used
in drawing the names of veniremen lit
the office of the Jury Commissioners
have been obtained, together with data,
enabling the State Prosecutor to distin
guish these cards from all ethers, and
already. It Is declared, a large number
of counterfeit cards have been discov
ered. Cards handled in the selection of ve
niremen for service in the Criminal
Court in the last 12 months also will
be secured by Mr. Wayman and care
fully scrutinized. It is his purpose to
establish case after case where Illegally
procured men were placed on juries to
obtain verdicts favorable to certain' in
terests or cause disagreements.

Harvard Sets Fashion for All
of. Fall Practice.
KEEP CREWS IN TRAINING
Yale Learns Lesson and Starts
Practice and, Other Universities
Will Follow Suit English
Varsities Give Idea.
BOSTON. Mass., Oct. . 9. (Special.)
Harvard, not Yale, is setting the Fall
fashions in rowing matters this year, with
Other big universities of the East follow
ing. .Heretofore Yale has always been
regarded as the university to set the
pace, but Harvard's two successive and
decisive defeats of Yale have put a
different complexion upon the situation.
And Yale herself, evert more than any
of the others, is doing as Harvard does.
All of the colleges represented by crews
are busy with Fall rowing practice. A
few years ago Fall rowing for varsity
crews was comparatively unknown; now
crew work as well Is given attention.
Many who would be of great value are
actually kept out of football in order
that they may give their entire efforts
to rowing.
Wray Father of Fall Rowing.
Coach Wray, to whom alone Harvard
is indebted for its wins of 1908 and 1909,
has ever been an enthusiastic supporter
of Fall rowing. The way his crews have
performed have shown it to be a good
thing, and other universities have adopted
it. Yale has gone in for it extensively
since Coach Kennedy remarked after
watching Harvard clean up Columbia so
decisively on the Charles River in mid
April. 'I never saw a college crew so far along
in its development In April. It is Wray's
Fall work that has done it."
Yale started practice two days after
college opened and' will continue until
Thanksgiving, possibly later. To pre
vent interruption by rough water in New
Haven Harbor, Kennedy has just had
built In this city two eight-oared barges
for use at such times. Everyone who
would be a candidate for the varsity
must do the stipulated work this Fail.
This means that the football leaders can
no longer gobble up all the heavy ath
letes. Kennedy has. also taken personal
charge of the freshmen candidates as
well
- Ten Eyck New Convert.
A brand new convert to Fall rowing
Is James A. Ten Eyck, coach at Syracuse.
As at Yale, freshmen, and varsity candi
dates alike were called out last week.
Down at Columbia, where Coach Jimmy
Rice has won second in the varsity at
Poughkeepsie three years running, there
is a big batch of candidates out and. plans
have been made for at least two weeks
of rather sfrenubus work.
The Fall programme for Harvard Is
rather more extensive than at any of the
other universities, though not so much
attention will be devoted to the freshmen.
There is much rowing at Harvard. Twenty-seven
men enough for three varsity
eights reported to Wray for practise this
week, and they all go out on the river at
the sany time. Beginning next Monday
afternoon, the dormitory crews will start
practice for the annual Fall bumper
races. It is no uncommon sight, when
the Fall rowing season is at its height, to
see 12 or 15 eights on the river at the
same time.
Bumper races arouse interest among the
students in rowing as a major sport and
bring to the varsity squad men who prob
ably otherwise would never have had the
opportunity to show that they were oars
men in the rough, awaiting only the fin
ishing touches.
English Train Year Round.
The American universities have bor
rowed much from England, Harvard hav
ing stood sponsor for it, almost from the
time that Rudolph Lehmann came over
from England to coach the crew. Fall
practice is in Itself English. Varsity
oarsmen of Oxford and Cambridge are
kept in training practically the year
round.
Harvard is committed to English racing
shells, and, in a measure at least, to Eng
lish riggings. Harvard has had her boats
built by Sims in England for the past two
years. Most of these eights, however,
have been gift boats. Mrs. Robert Bacon,
whose son rowed in last year's eight,
gave the boat that was used In the
varsity against Yale, while W. C. Baylies,
a Boston man. paid Sims for the eight
that the freshmen rowed In when they
won at New London against Yale. Yale
experimented, but with poor success, last
Spring, Jn English shells and there Is lit
tle likelihood that other universities will
rush to English shells.

GRACK SHOT TO APPEAR
CAPTAIN HARDY WILL GIVE EX
HIBITION NEXT SUNDAY.
Expert Is Equally Proficient With
Rifle, Revolver and Shotgun
Performs Wonderf ul Feats.
Admirers of skilled marksmanship will
have the opportunity tot see Captain A.
H. Hardy, who holds several world's ree
ords for fast and accurate rifle shooting,
give an exhibition next Sunday, October
17 at 3 P. M., at the range of the Port
land Rifle & Revolver Club. The exhibi
tion will be free. Captain Hardy lives In
Lincoln, Neb., but will move to Portland
early in the Spring to. make this city his
home. ,
For the past month admirers of marks
manship and skill in most all of the large
Coast cities have had an opportunity to
witness Captain Hardy's wonderful
achievements. Hardy has shot a rifle
filnce ho was 10 years old. His idea is
that any one can become, with practice,
a fair shot, but like musicians, some will
become more proficient than others in the
art. Captain Hardy was born in Nebras
ka in 1876, has never used tobacco nor
liquor in any form, and to this largely
attributes his success. He weighs 200
pounds, is very athletic, declaring this
work keeps him in good condition for'
shooting. ,
With an ordinary 22-rifle, Hardy is able
to outline with bullets on plain cardboard
a profile of an Indian head, W. J. Bryan,
an Irishman with pipe or anything the
crowd may suggest. He also hits small
marblea thrown into the air, making
doubles. He then ejects a 22 cartridge
from his rifle and with the following shot
explodes it whi in the air. With a six
shooter in each hand he hits two objects
placed 10 feet apart, one stationary, the
other swinging. He cuts a card in two
edgewise while looking in a" mirror. He is
the only expert that hits iron washers and
marbles thrown Into the air, using a re
volver. With an ordinary shotgun he lilts
five targets, thrown by himself, all before
they reach the ground. This, he consid
ers, one of his most- difficult stunts.
In his exhibition next Sunday, besides
the regular routine he will shoot at 600
two-Inch targets, using a 22-rifle and solid
ball, and will try "to hit them all.
KILLED IN MICHIGAN WOOD
Young " Hunter ' Mysteriously Shot.
Dog Brings Aid Top Late.
MARSHALL, Mich.. Oct. 9. A Cor
oner's Jury has been summoned to de
termine the cause of death of Floyd
Gotham. 17 years old. whose dead body
was found in the woods near here yes
terday, with a bullet wound through
the Head. The young .man's faithful
hunting dog led relatives to his mas
ter's body.
Gotham's rifle was found standing
upright in a gopher hole.'oO yards from
the body, and Dr. L. A. Harmon, who
examined the wound, gave the opinion
that the fatal shot must have been fired
from a considerable distance, the bul
let entering at the base of the skull.
Gotham had taken the rifle and a
shotgun to tender them to a neigh
bor's son. as payment for a bicycle he
had purchased. . The neighbor's son.
who was apparently the last person to
see Gotham alive, said today that he
met Gotham in the woods and refused
to accept the guns, the two boys sep
arating then and starting for their
homes in opposite directions.
BOGUS MINT IN GERMANY

CAPE TOWN, Oct. 9. (Special.) Ac
cording to a Johannesburg journal, a
number of continental crooks are en
gaged Jn running a mint, which has its
headquarters in Germany, for fhe pur
pose of making and conveying schlenter
gold coins to Africa. It is stated that
discs of gunmetal are cut almost the
size of half-soverejgns and sovereigns
and covered with gold. The pieces are
turned out perfectly "milled." and of
the exact weight of the ordinary current

Automobile Notes.
If your new car has a gate change,
a little practice under favorable circum
stances in making the cross movement
will be repaid when a quick change is
called for at a future time.
The residents of Gate City. Va., were
surprised last week when an automo
bile passed through their to. n. It was
the first motor-driven vehicle that had
ever used the highways of the town.
A German engineer recently produced
an automobile sleigh, which, under fa
vorable circumstances, made a speed of
35 miles an hour. A two and a quarter-horse-power
motor was used to drive a
four-bladed aeriel screw.
The Spanish military authorities have
found a new use for automobilo gog
gles. It is reported that, owing to the
tremendous heat and sand storms in the
Riff district of Morocco, arrangements
are being made in Madrid to send about
30.000 pairs of goggles for the use of
the Spanish troops.
A road wheel should never be run
when it is not true, no matter whether
the cause of -Its being out of line has
been a blow or the warping of the
wood. With a wobbling wheel a strain
is probably" being thrown on other parts
of the wheel itself, and therein is much
of the danger resultlag from drivings
with a wheel out of true.

CRICKETER HOT WANTED
JAM OF NAWANAGAR NOT WEL
COME IX ENGLAND.
He Forgot t Pay His Debts on Last
Visit and Now Britishers
Don't Like Him.
LONDON, Oct. 9. (Special.) A rather
painful sensation was created In the
House this week by questions asked by
Tory members about the Jam of Nawan
agar, better known in England as the fa
mous cricketer Ranjltslnhji. It is appar
ent, from the question of Joynson Hicks,
that the Jam has been proposing to pay
another visit to England, and that there
appears to be some reason why the Vice
roy should exercise his privilege of refus
ing him a permit to do so. Two years
ago the Jam spent a year in this country
and rented Shillinhurst, the beautiful
family seat of the Earl of Winterton. in
Sussex. He there entertained in almost
regal style, his guests being drawn chiefly
from the cricketing world.
On one occasion, wneri the Sussex eleven
went to dine, during the course of a
Brighton match, with the Jam at Shilllng
hurst. they ftiiled to turn up on the
ground until 3:30 In the afternoon on the
following day. It would appear, from a
question put by Mr. Renton, that the Jam
exercised the real prerogative of forget
ting to pay his debts, and that he owes a
great deal of money to small local trades
men in Sussex. This was scarcely a rele
vant inquiry, but Joynson Hicks left no
doubt whatever as to the ground of his
inquiries by asking that the Secretary of
State should consider strongly represen
tations against the proposed visit being
undertaken. To this sad estate has the
former popular idol of English cricket
fallen.
