Two Handsome Trophies and Two
Gold Medals Donated as Prizes
for Persons Who Shall Be In
Best Position at Finish.
BY W. J. PETHAIX.
Great enthusiasm is manifest over the
proposed Christmas day swimming of the
Willamette River, for which feat several
handsome prizes have been offered to
members of the Multnomah Amateur
Athletic Club, -who will compete.
An elegant silver cup donated by
Stephen T. Britten, one of the most en
thusiastic sportsmen in Portland, is the
principal trophy and constitutes the first
prize. Mr. Britten has also contributed
two beautiful gold medals for second and
third prizes.
Oliver King Jeffery. one of the younger
members of the club, has also contrib
uted a cup of equal beauty, and this will
be tendered to the first woman to com
plete the swim, Professor Arthur Cavill,
who is promoting the affair, has received
assurances from a number of women that
they will compete on Christmas day.
Other prizes have been donated by mer
cantile establishments and Professor
Cavill inspects to have at least a dozen
trophies for the various contestants, to
bs awarded according to the respective
places in which they complete the swim.
Climate to Got Boost.
From the standpoint of advertising the
mildness of Oregon's climate, the Christ
mas day swim is a source of boosting
that cull Id be secured 'by no other means,
for the average staid citizen looks upon
the feati of entering the waters of the
Northwest in the Winter time as an im
possibility. Professor Cavill. who is the
most prominent member of the famous
Australian family of that name, and who
taught Annette Kellerman. the most fa
mous woman swimmer of the world, the
art, is responsible for the idea, and he
based his announcement of the feasibility
of the undertaking on the annual swim
participated in at London and other Eng
lish towns on Christmas day each year,
Cavill claims that the climate of Oregon
is even milder than that of London In
December, and that what can be done at
the Bnglish metropolis or elsewhere in
the land of John Bull can be done In
Oregon.
When Cavill first broached the Idea
he was laughed at by some of the skep
tics, and as these same knockers under
took to discourage some of those who had
volunteered to make the Xmas swim,
Cavill decided to demonstrate that It was
an easy proposition. Therefore, last Sun
day, accompanied by Ira Clarke and
Harry Roberts, Cavill swam the "Willam
ette River in the teeth of the fierce east
wind and the aocompanying snow storm
which prevailed at that time, and none
of the three daring swimmers suffered
the, slightest from the experience. That
swim demonstrated that Cavlll's conten
tion that the waters of the Willamette
are no colder than the waters of other
Northern climes of the. same latitude is
correct. Harry Roberts, the youngest
member of the trio who swam the river
last Sunday, and who is a member of
the firm of Roberts Brothers, says he en
Joyed the swim heartily, and that he will
most assuredly -go after that 'Britten cup
on Christmas day.
Roberts Knjoyed Trial Swim.
"I really enjoyed the swim,"' said
, Roberts yesterday, "for I think swim
ming at this time of the year is most
invigorating. We had no difficulty in
completing the swim of the. river," for
the water was much warmer than the
air, and when I emerged I suffered a
little from contact with the air, but
this wu soon remedied by a rubdown
and the application of Turkish towels."
Roberts added that he would do it
again today If he thought such action
would benefit the Christmas day cause.
He is one of the most enthusiastic ad
mirers of Cavill, whom he looks upon
as the world's greatest swimmer.
Stephen T. Britten, the donor of the
first prize for the Christmas day swim,
said:
"I had never given the matter a
thought until it was brona-hr to mv
tice by 'Turns' Cavill, and 1 readily ap-j
iiicinaieo me aoverwslng such a feat
would give Oregon. I now have the
good fortune of being a resident of this
state, and I am Informed that swim
ming on Christmas day here has been I
such a rare feat that any one who at- I
tempts u is looked upon as a hero. I do
not think that a halo should he placed
over any one who swims the Willamette
River at this time of year, for such
feats are common in Bngland. and what
they can do there they can do here, for
Oregon possesses a much milder cli
mate." Dr. Zan Enthusiastic.
Dr. James C. Zan. who is the official
physician of the Multnomah Amateur
Athletic Club, is enthusiastic over Pro
fessor Cavlll's idea, and will person
ally attend the swimmers during the
period they are in the water and after
they emerge. Dr. Zan. while he may
not actually enter the water himself,
will follow the swimmers in a launch
and -will be on hand to aid any of them
who may suffer from cramps, which
are likely to attack a swimmer at any
time of year.
"I thin this project the biggest boost
the Multnomau Club and- Portland could
get, said Dr. Zan yesterday. "I have
lived in Portland practically all my
life, and can appreciate what an inno
vation of this kind really means, for
most of us Oregonians look upon swim
ming the river in the Winter as a prac
tical impossibility. I think Professor
Cavill deserves recognition for his ef
forts on this score, and I, for one, will
gladly volunteer my services In the
cause, for I appreciate the benefits to
be derived therefrom."
James F. Ewing. the enthusiastic
president of the Multnomah Amateur
Athletic Club, who Is an athlete of no
mean ability, is one of the most ardent
supporters of the Christmas swim Idea
and President Ewing win be the first
of the swimmers to take to the water oa
that occasion. f
Long Hits Promised.
Catcher Larry McLean, of the 'Reds,"
has recovered from that fractured knee
cap. He promises now (in Winter) that
he will next season surpass George Gib
son's record of catching 134 consecutive
games. President Hermann has decided
to move the left field fence of the Cincinnati-park

FAIR TO BE BEST
Plans for 1910 Races and
Show Under Way.
NF.W ATTRACTIONS DUE
Plans Being Laid Looking Toward
Constructing Finest Race Course
and Fairgrounds . Found
Anywhere fn West.
BY W. J. PETKAIN.
Plans for the holding of the next
year's racing card and livestock ex
hibit by the Portland Fair and Live
stock Association are now being dis
cussed, and before many weeks have
elapsed the association will have had
its plans well developed and the
assurance of a greater and more suc
cessful show than ever before will be
extended to patrons of the enterprise.
The annual fair of this association
means the advancement not only of
the breeding of fine horses, but par
ticularly the advancement of the ani
mal industry in all its branches, for
the exposition of fine dairy cattle,
sheep and hogs is as much a part of
the. show as the horse.
The harness racing feature is the
big card of the show, and the one
calculated to increase the gate re
ceipts, but the side attractions serve
a purpose of equal merit. Every per
son, of high and low degree, is more
Or less Interested In some species of
livestock, and following this natural
inclination will, undoubtedly seek the
opportunity of looking over the best
breeds found in the vicinity of home.
In the effort to promote this indus
try the Portland( Fair and Livestock
Association has assumed an enormous
expense in fitting up' what is gen
erally admitted to be the finest race
course and fairgrounds' to be found in
the West. Jt is the intention of the
association to make the grounds a
great deal more attractive, than . at
present, and already the work of rais
ing additional funds for. this purpose
is progressing satisfactorily. A few
business men have agreed to contrib
ute $1000 each for the construction of
a fair building on the order of the
oid 'Mechanics' Pavilion or Exposition
building, for the purpose of displaying
all branches of Oregon industries, and
It may yet come to pass that the asso
ciation will lengthen the days of the
show.
The undertaking has experienced the
difficulties of all new enterprises, for it
has alwayst been found necessary to edu
cate the public and past shows of the
Portland Fair and Livestock Association
have been no exception to the rule. While
the shows have not met with the patron
age expected, they have not been absolute
failures, by any means, and increased
interest augurs1 well for future succcsa
Since the inauguration of the livestock
shows in Oregon there has been a notable
Increase in the quality of fine livestock
raised In this state, and it is the Impetus
given the industry by such shows as the
(Portland Fair and Livestock Association,
as well as the Salem State Fair and the
numerous lesser enterprises conducted
each year, which add to the Interest in
stock breeding. Fine cattle, sheep, hogs
and horses are a source of wealth in
every community, and Oregon Is enjoying
a great boom in these industries now.
The racing programme next season will
receive much attention, for the associa
tion plans to secure a number of high
class stakes, which will attract horse
owners from all over the Western coun
try, and in addition, it is the intention of
the association to offer at least two spe
cial stake events for Oregon or Wash
ington bred entries. By such a policy,
and by making thess stakes annual
events, it is hoped to stimulate Oregop
stock breeders to greater exertions In
raising blooded horses.
Last year the" racing card was satis
factory, for the six days' programme
produced a large number of splendid con
tests and gave the harness game more
encouragement than ever before in the
history of ,the sport in Portland.
Classy horses were sent here from all
sections of the country, .and many of the
races were so hotly contested that the
full string of heats was required to de
cide the merit of the horses entered.
Such racing as was had last September
cannot be otherwise than popular, and
the coming season promises even better
sport for the followers of the harness
game.
The new structure to be erected for
the accommodation of the industrial ex
hibits Is to be of ample proportions to
display suitably the various industries of
the state at large, and special atten
tion will be given to manufacturing indus
tries, while the farming products will
al-so come in for attention. While It is
yet early, the business men of Portland
back of the association are putting their
shoulders to the wheel and are leaving
nothing undone in the effort to make the
coming fair the biggest and best ever held
in this vicinity.
REIDY OUT; WHO WILL GET IX?
Oakland Fans Wonder Who Manages
Club Xext Season.
The San Francisco Bulletin has the fol
lowing about the successor jof Billy Reidy
as manager o the Oakland team:
When the 'Los Anrelea bugs heard that
Bill Beldy had been released they saw a
picture of George Wheeler dropping Into the
vacancy. Even before Reidy was first em
ployed Wheeler was suggested for the po
sition and. if memory serves correctly. Pres
ident Walters did have some correspondence
with Hen Berry about buying his .release.
Barry was willing to give Wheeler a' chance
to show his ability as leader, but for some
reason the deal went by the boards, with
Reidy out of the way it was natural or the
Los Angeles bugs to think that Wheeler
would be his successor, but he won't. Presi
dent Walters was quizzed about Wheeler
yesterday and he emphatically declared that
his new manager woald be another player
whose name he would keep a secret some
day yet. The Oakland manager admitted
having had Wheeler's name under consid
eration at different times, but be said he
would not sign him. Wheeler would be
pleased to get inch a Job, for the man
agerial bee has been buzzing In his cap
some spell. He has confidence In his abil
ity to assemble and lead a winning club,
and in the opinion of the writer a cluo
could do worse than hire Wheeler. He Is a
fellow of model habits, very conscientious.
Industrious to the last degree and would
atwas'i nave a club's Interests flxe4 in bis
mind. .
FIGHT IS LOOMING Lf ff
National League Meeting Like
ly to See Strife.
PRESIDENCY WILL BE BONE
Erfort Said to Be In Wind to Depose
Heydler Certain to- Arouse Red
hot Contest Little Prospect
of Disruption Seen.
BY W. J. PETRA1N.
When the Xational League, the oldest
of the baseball organizations of the coun
try, meets at New Tork City next Wed
nesday matters of momentous . import
ance will come up for action, and the
selection of a chief executive promises to
furnish one of the hottest fights in base
ball history.
The Xational League Is not likely to b
disrupted by the threatened strife, for
there are enough level-headed men, like
Garry Herrmann, to stave off prospective
storms if such prove to be dangerous
enough to wreck the "old ship." The prin
cipal cause of the present agitation is the
prevailing Idea that a strong effort Is to
be made to depose John A. Heydler from
the presidency, to which office the young
man succeeded on the death of Harry
Pulllam.
Murphy Opposes Heydler.
Heydler is opposed by Charles Webb
Murphy, of Chicago, who seems to be
able to wield considerable'influence in the
National League, and Murphy openly an
nounces that he is working to secure
the election of John Montgomery Ward, a
former star player of the New York team,
and a man who is now rated as one of
the leading legal lights of Gotham, he
having embraced the law when he retired
from the diamond. Ward is undoubtedly
a man who would be of great service to
the league as its chief executive.
When Murphy announced Ward's candi
dacy. President Bancroft B. Johnson, of
the American League, the National's rival
In major ball circles. Issued a positive
statement to the eSfect that he, as presi
dent of the American League, would
positively refuse to sit with Ward as a
member of the National Commission, to
which bodv the National League president
is entitled to membership.
In reciting his reasons for action Presi
dent Johnson called Ward a trickster and
charered him with tampering with players.
Ward explains his connection with the
transactions named in a satisfactory man
ner, and even were Johnson's charges
true, the instances cited were by no
means tne only cases of the kind on
record, and Ward, as an attorney, was
clearly within his rights when he ad
vised George Davis to sign a contract
with the New York team.
Ban Johnson Fearful.
To a man in this section of the woods,
who is not direotly Interested in the fight,
it appears, that Ban Johnson is afraid
that he won't have the swing on the Na
tional Commission with a man of John
Ward's strength opposed to him. Ward
is a shrewd man, and so is Johnson,- but
it is just possible that the New Yorker
' may know Just a little more about the
legal end of the game than the American
League president, and Johnson probably
realises this and is therefore opposed to
his admission to the National Commis
sion, which is the high tribunal of base
ball. Garry Herrmann, -owner of the Cin
cinnati Reds, and chairman of the Na
tional Commission, is the arbiter on this
board; and Herrmann has not yet an
nounced his preference for the presidency
of the National League. It is generally
presumed that Herrmann will support
Heydler. though no one knows definitely
whether this is true or not. Barney
Dreyfuss. of the Pittsburg world's cham
pions is openly , for the re-election of
Heydler. and the positions of Brush of
New York and Robinson of St. Louis are
unknown-.
Men In Murphy Camp.
In the Murphy camp and opposed to
Heydler are Dovey of Boston, Ebbetta of
iBrooklyn and Fogel of Philadelphia, the
latter being hut a figurehead for a syndi
cate supposed to be controlled by Murphy.
Fogel is known as the president of the
Philadelphia National League club, but
everyone scouts the idea that he is the
sole owner, and this fact Is used as
capital by the American League forces,
who allege that Murphy of Chicago is
the real purchaser of the Phillies, and
the old cry of syndicate ball is being
flouted In the faces of the National chief
tains. l v
Owing to the impending baseball battle
the fans of all sections of the country
are speculating on the possibility of war
being declared on the National by the
American in the event that Ward's sup
porters are victorious. Conservative base
ball men all over the- country doubt it.
for they rely to a great extent on the
level head and shrewdness of Garry Herr
mann, who will be a 'great factor in
spreading oil on the troubled waters.
California End of Circuit Has Matter
Largely in Palm of Hand, but
Judge Graham Yet Speaketh
Xot Awhile.
With Congressman McCredle serving
the State of . Washington among the
solons at the National Capital, and Wal
ter McCedie- reclining In his usual
sphinxlike attitude at this stage of the
year, very little in the way of baseball
news crops out during these dreary Win
ter months, and the bugs have to be
satisfied with a few fireside discussions
which are far from satisfactory.
The average baseball fan likes to buzz
and buzz real hard, for it goes against
the- grain to indulge in such a mild dis
cussion as is created by the relative play
ing ability of Ty Cobb and'Honus Wag
ner. Such mere trifles are above the
Idea of the average fan's Idea ofia real
fanning bee. Neither Cobb nor Wagner
is in danger of playing in Portland the
coming season; so Mr. Fan looks at them
as foreign elements entirely and has no
particular longing to discuss them any
how. Only One Baseball Topic Here.
The principal baseball topic of inter
est here is whether or not Portland is to
get that Northwestern team privilege
again next season. Congressman Mc
Credle, before leaving to secure a greater
depth of water in the Columbia River,
and Dave Dugdale, before departing to
look after his incubators at Ballard
Beach, were unanimous in expressing
belief that everything would be lovely,
but nothing has been heard from the Cal
ifornia end of the circuit which has the
most say about the matter.
As far as known. Judge Graham, the
new prexy of the Coasters, has not called
for a mall vote or an expression of opin
ion from the "buzzards." and until that
is done, Portland is out in the cold.
The San Francisco Bulletin expert,
who really does get things accurate
occasionally, broke out recently with a
trouble-borrowing Item on ' McCredle
which runs as follows:
In the event that McCredle places a team
In the Northwest league next season he
will have some special arrangement with
the powers In regard to the division of the
gate receipts. It will be very necessary In
order to break anywhere near even 'on the
venture. With his I'oast League Club play
ing such a long session at home, there will
be only eight weeks left for the Northwest
League Club, which Is not many, with only
eight weiks at home the Northwest flub
must be on the road for 16 weeks, the sea
son in that league being 24 weeks long.
Now, when a club is on the road in Lucas
League it only gets an even split of the
peneral admissions, all the grandstand re
ceipts going to the home team. The ex
penses of a club are also hearier when trav
eling. Hence It is obvious that McCredle'
must get some "special concessions" to break
somewhere near even on tho season. -
Why Is California Worrying?
Just why the San Francisco scribe
should be so solicitous about McCre
die's portion of the gate receipts in the
Northwestern League is beyond con
ception. If McCredle chooses to cast
his lot with the Northwestern League
on any old basis of percentage. It
should not worry the Bulletin man, nor
any one. else in California, for it is Mc
Credie's funeral and not theirs If the
Northwestern does not pay.
However, speaking of percentages
reminds us that it was this same mat
ter which was responsible for the loss
of Seattle in the Coast League and
for which territory Bie southern mag
nates are yearning right now, though
they try to give an adverse idea by dis
playing a sham of indifference.
When the Coast League first came
north the league played on a basis of
70 and 30 per cent, the home team tak
ing the long end of the money, and as
the California towns had the longer
home series, the injustice was manifest.
After years of dissension over this, sub
ject the Pacific Coast League finally
adopted a 60 and .40 basis, which now
prevails. Had It adopted this basis
three years ago, it would not be neces
sary - to ask Seattle to rejoin the
league, for that city would not have
dropped out had a just ratio been in
force at that time.
William H. Lucas, president of the
Northwestern League and one of the
shrewdest baseball men in the business,
returned from his vacation during the
past week and Is still uninformed as to
the baseball situation in the Northwest.
President Lucas attended the annual
meeting of the National 'Association of
Professional Baseball Leagues at Mem
phis, Tenn., last month, and since that
time has been visiting relatives In the
Lake States. During that time he has
not had much of an opportunity to dis
cuss baseball matters, and since his re
turn home he has been occupied with
accumulated correspondence and has
not got in touch with Dugdale or Con
gressman McCredle. He expects to be
informed on baseball matters soon, and
may go to Seattle in a few days to talk
things over with Dugdale.
Billy Alvord. the former star of
"Cap" Anson's Colts in the old days of
Chicago's baseball glory; O. K. Fitz
simmons. also a veteran ballplayer and
now a real estate dealer in Portland;
Fielder A. Jones, ex-manager of the
Whtfe Sox, and President Lucas, of the
Northwestern League, held an interest
ing fanning bee the other : day. All
four of the old-timers enjoyed discuss
ing their early careers, and many
funny incidents of the days when they
first broke into the game were retold
again and again.
It takes a bunch of oid-time players
to stir up things in baseball, and some
of the stories told would make excel
lent history for the fans. When the
permission of all of the four can be se
cured, the writer will transcribe some
of the tales, but just now one or two of
the quartet seena bashful about their
ages, and might object if tipped off in
print.
COMISKEY TO SELL BIG BUXCH
White Sox Owner Has Surplus of
Ballplayers TTfis Year.
Charles A. Comiskey, president of
the White Sox, has arranged to dispose
of 24 of his surplus baseball players at
the annual meeting of the American
League in New York on December 15.
Tire "master of the White Sox," af
ter going over "his books, discovered
that he had 60 ballplayers under con
tract, while he will only be able to
take 36 men to California with him.
Heis prepared to dispose of the 24
at the annual league meeting.
Catchers, pitchers, outfielders and in
fielders are numbered In the list, and it
President Dreyfuss to Eliminate
lxiid-Lunj-ced Spielers.
With a view to eliminating the sense
less noisy coaching by speclally-engag?d
"furiny" coachers who as a rule are mo
notonous rather than humorous Presi
dent Dreyfuss. of Pittsburg. Intends to
propose at the forthcoming National
League meeting legislation to eliminate
from sidelines all but those athletes who
are hired for fWir ability to play ball.
The only exception that he is willing to
make is that managers in uniform may
be allowed to coach as u.ual.
This will be worse than President Lucas"
strenuous interpretation of the rules.
