MY
VICTOR IN DOUBT TO FINISH
One rtec:ord Broken, Captain Norris
Winning 4 4 0-Yard Dash in
52 4-5 Seconds Washington
High Takes Second Place.
Coach Kletzem's Portland Academy
track team won one of the most ex
citing ami one of the closest track
meets ever held under the auspices of
the Portland Inter-scholastic Athletic
Association yesterday afternoon on
Multnomah Field by 36 points, only
four over her nearest opponent.
Washington Higrh School, the winner
of last year's meet, took second yester
ilay with a total of 32 points. Columbia
I'niversity was third with 25 points
and I-incoln High School fourth, with
18 points. Jefferson High School
scored one first place entitling them
to five points and Allen Preparatory
School got one point by virtue of a
third place in the 220-yard dash by
Gearhart.
The winner was. in doubt until the
last event which was the half-mile re
lay that Portland Academy captured.
This Is the first Interscholastic cham
pionship in any branch of sport that
Uie Portland Academy has won in four
years.
One liecord Broken.
One Interscholastic, record was
broken. - The record broken was the
440-yard dash which Norris. the gritty
captain of the Portland Academy team,
won by the fast time of 51 4-5 sec
onds. Baker, the speedy captain and crack
100-yard man of the Lincoln High
School and winner of last year's dash,
after leading the field for nearly three
quarters of the distance, snapped a
tendon in his right leg and was forced
to retire. However, a teammate. Crick
more, won the dash.
The mile run was the prettiest race
of the day. Wlndnagle, of Washington
High, and Edwards, of Portland Acad
emy, ran neck-and-neck for nearly tho
whole distance but in the final spurt,
with a great burst of speed, the East
Side lad nosed out Edwards and won
in the fast time of 4 minutes, 44 and 3-5
seconds. There were nearly 20 Btarters
'.n this race. Long, of Portland Acad
emy, finished third.
In the 220-yard dash the race was
nip and tuck between Brost, the flaxen-haired
lad from Columbia Univers
ity, and Crickmore, of Lincoln High
3chool, but Crickmore proved the bet
ter stayer and won out by a few feet.
The three point winners in this event
were finished within two yards of each
sther. Gearhart, who made Allen Pre
paratory School's only points, took
third in this race.
Voting Krolin Ileal Surprise.
The pole vault proved the surprise of
the day. This event, practically con
ceded to Vaughn Perkins, of Columbia
University, was won by Robert Krohn,
Jr., of Washington High School. Each
man cleared 10 feet 2 inches and in the
jump-off of the tie, young Krohn won.
This is the first meet in which Krohn
has ever participated and he astonished
the track followers by his almost per
fect form. Krohn lacked speed in the
run to the take-off. With the acquire
ment of this he will make a wonder
ful vaulter. Vaughn Perkins slightly
Injured his ankle in the vaulting.
In the half-mile race three Wash
ington High School athletes took the
three point-winning places. Hines, of
Lincoln, took the lead and held it for
over a lap and then the East Siders
torged to the front and were never
headed. Nelson was first, Windnagle
second and Barbur third in this race.
Jefferson High School, which was en
tered in an Interscholastic meet for
the first time scored a total of five
points. These were made by young
Lawrence, who took first place in the
high jump'with a leap of 5 feet 4 and
1-4 inches. Woodworth, a freshman
it Lincoln .High, took second and Laid
iow, of Washington, was third.
The 120-yard high hurdle race was
captured by McLaren, of Washington,
with Minslnger, of Lincoln, second and
Kinnegan. of Columbia, third. The
time was 18 seconds. The 220-yard hur
dles were won by Jackson, of Wash
ington, with Wilson, of Portland Acad
emy, a close second and Welch, of
Lincoln, third. The time for this event
was 28 1-S seconds.
Discus Thrown" Into - Crowd.
Cliff Perkins won the discus throw
with a toss of 101 feet and 5 inches.
Nolan, of Portland Academy, took sec
one with i9 feet 11 inches, and fmall,
of the latter institution, was third
with a throw of 95 feet 5 inches.-In
this event one of the contestants lost
control of the discus and threw it into
the crowd that was on the field, nar
rowly missing a youth.
Aya, of Columbia, won the shot put
with a splendid toss of 39 feet 9 inches.
Nolan took second and Brown, of Co
lumbia, third.
Norris, of Portland Academy, took
the pole at the start of the quarter
mile dash anVl was never headed. He
ran a steady race but nearly collapsed
at the finish. Condon, also of Port
land Academy, came in a close second,
with Barber, of Washington, third. The
time of :52 4-5 establishes a new Inter
scholastic record in the quarter.
With the score standing 32 to 31 in
favor of Washington High School the
teams went into the relay race. Port
land Academy drew the pole and Brace,
of that team, got a lead of a few inches
over the Columbia University man. Bob
Livingston, who ran second for Port
land Academy, then took up the race
and after being apparently beaten by
Lacey, of Columbia, spurted in the last
few yards and gave Condon a slight
lead. Condon opened a gap of about
ten yards between him and his nearest
competitor and then Captain Norris
finished the race for Portland Acad
emy a good 20 yards ahead of Colum
bia University. Crickmore, of Linco'n,
was the last man to leave the final lap
by fully ten yards, but he ran a beau
tiful race and finished third in the
contest.
Crickmore Star of Meet.
Crickmore. of Lincoln High, was the
highest individual point-winner of the
lay with a total of ten. Condon and
Norris, of Portland Academy, and Wind
nagle. of Washington High School, were
tied for second with eight points each.
The meet was witnessed by a large
crowd and was well conducted.

BOXING GAME REVIVED
SE-TTLE AUTHORITIES IXTER
, POSE KfO OBJECTION.
Promoters AVill Bid for Big Ring
Matches if Initial Contests
Prove Successful.
SEATTLE, Wash., May 28. (Special.)
Professional boxing will soon be opened
here, according to the plans of a group of
promoters who have announced the or
ganization - of the Elliott Bay Athletic
Club. The first match is to be a six
round affair between Eddie Marino and
Pete McVeigh, tooth of Seattle, and will
be pulled off in a. local theater.
The authorities so far have interposed
no objection. The same club matched
Jflarino and tfiid Scaler a few weeks ago.
but Scaler has since left town and the
match was called off. It is understood
that no attempt will be made by the city
or county officials to prevent the boxing
matches so long as they are kept free
from any suspicion of crooked work.
The news that Seattle would allow box
ing traveled fast, and it brought a couple
of questionable promoters from San Fran
cisco, but they soon learned that there
was nothing doing for them and returned
to California. Local sentiment among
many business men is decidedly in favor
of professional boxing if cleaniy con
ducted, and Seattle will begin bidding for
big matches if the first proves success
ful. YACHTS WILL RACE TODAY
Club Craft Will Sail From Oaks lo
Madison Bridge.
Over the regular course from the Oaks
to the Madison-street bridge, a distance
of about three miles, the first yacht races
of the season will be held this afternoon
beginning at 4 o'clock, from the starting
point near the Oregon Yacht Club moor
ings. The races will bo participated in by
eight of the sailing craft. All the boats
of the Yacht Club fleet have been over

dition for the racing season. A number
of meets, will be held this Summer under
the auspices of the local club.

RICKARD CALLS IT BLUFF
Promoter Says There Is No Chance
lo Stop Bout, and California
, Officials Do Not Appear to
Plan Any Action.
BY HARRY B. SMITH.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 28. (Special.)
paraphrase Shakespeare, "To
fight in San .Francisco or not to fight,
that's the Question."
It Is the one thing that the fight
fans are talking about, this little war
fare between promoters Rickard and
Gleason, on the one hand, and the
Church Federation on the other. The
promoters have their San Francisco
permit, their decision from the District
Attorney thathe cannot lawfully stop
the fight, and a lease on Central Park
at Eighth and Market streets.
The Church Federation through its
committee, comprised of two ministers
and one attorney, nods Its head sagely
and says the fight will not take place
here. Whether they are really In earn
est and have something they are hold
ing back, or whether it is a gigantic
bluff, nobody seems to' know.
"It Is all a bluff," declares Rickard,
who Is chief spokesman for the pro
moters. "There is not one chance in
a million to stop us. The only thing
that can be done is to keep people
away who might otherwise attend the
match."
Church Attorney Confident.
"We will stop that fight. It will
never take place in San Francisco," is
the declaration of Attorney White for
the federation.
In spite of their announcement, the
promoters do not like the publicity
given the statements from the church
people. They argue that the fight will
bring a lot of money into San Fran
cisco and say that for this reason alone
the papers should devote less space to
the ministers. One thing is sure, the
feeling of uncertainty aroused by the
conflicting statements will not do the
fight any good. Intending visitors
from Eastern points will not make
their plans until they feel assured that
the fight will take place.
Personally, I am inclined to the opin
ion that the fight will be held here.
Governor Gillett will not interfere and
District Attorney Flckert has allowed
It to be understood plainly that he
does not consider he has any right to
Interfere. Chief of Police Martin? has
made an official statement that he
will In the future attend all fights,
but he is known to be in favor of this
bout and. Indeed, was a guest of Tex
Rickard at .Jeffries' camp last Sunday.
The city administration is also In
favor of the bout. None of these peo
ple is apt to be swayed by the Church
Federation and what they may say.
Further, the business men or at least
a number of them, want the fight and
have organized a counter move In or
der to show their sympathy. It is up
to the federation to make the next
move and until they announce what
they expect to do to stop the fight,
the doubt that surrounds the Jeffries
Johnson contest is bound to continue.
Johnson Likes Road Work.
Although there has been a lot of
talk on the outside that Johnson has
not been doing enough work, the black
is going along in his own fashion.
Last Sunday he did a good day's work
in the gymnasium and explained after
ward to the newspaper . men that he
did not think it wise to commence
hard work until the first of the month.
Johnson weighed at that time 218
pounds, which showed a reduction of
something like 10 pounds since his
arrival in California. The road work,
he admits, is responsible for this. Un
questionably the' road work will do
more for him than anything else in
getting him Into shape. c
An added member of the training
staff is Flanagan, the former weight
thrower, who has gained fame of late
by handling Longboat, the Indian mar
athon runner. Flanagan has arrived to
take charge of the road work by John
son. He will accompany the fighter
on his runs and, armed with a stop
watch, will tell Johnson when to speed
up and when to slow down.
Johnson is certainly attaching to
his camp men who know the game
thoroughly and who ought to be able
to give 'him good advice. At the same
time, Johnson will be the boss of the
camp. Never, no never, 'will he let
loose the reins of authority.
Jeffries Still Grouchy.
Tales continue to come from Rowar
dennan of the grouchiness of Jeffries.
It Is said that when the Olympic Club
men were at his camp last week that
they applauded enthusiastically at his
boxing.
"Here, you fellows will have to cut
that out," he Is said to have growled.
At the same time it is declared that
the big fellow has improved wonder
fully. After the first of the week, Jim Cor
bett will be installed at the camp as
chief second. Corbett knows the box
ing game from start to finish and ought
to bring more system into the way
things are run.
If you don't think that this is a com
mercial fight you ought to see the
maneuvers at both camps. Jeffries is
making his exhibitions in this section
of the state because of the money he
can make, while Johnson is not over
looking anything. His Sunday bouts
are netting him something like $400
each, while during the week quite a
bit of money at two bits a head trickles
into the Seal Rock Pavilion where he
works.
In addition. training camp scenes
have been photographed at the beach
and these will be showed all over the
country. Johnson sold this right for a
spot sum. His gymnasium apparatus
has been supplied by a well-known
sporting goods house, and so it goes.
Papke-Thomas Go Hurts.
The wind-up of the Papke-Thomas
fight did the pugilistic game no good
in San Francisco. In the parlance of
fight talk, it had every appearance of
a faked fight, and so the San Francisco
papers called it. Nothing was charged
to Joe Thomas, who was clearly a "has
been," but the charge was made that
Papke deliberately allowed Thomas to
stay until the 16th round because
money had been bet on that result.
Papke. of course, has denied this, Wrt
he has not explained his conduct. Jt
was apparent that he could have dis
posed of Joe any time after the firt
Tied Teams Will Meet.
J. W. Pattison's Popcorn Kings and
the Calef Bros, teams that are tied for
first place in the Columbia Hardware
Company League will meet this after
noon on the West End grounds. The
Popcorn Kings have won four suc
cessive games and hope to make it five
by defeating the Calef team. The
Kings have been strengthened by the
adition of "Red" Aherne, who has been
in Astoria, and "Pete" Peterson, the
crack catcher and hitter of the Lincoln
High School team of the Interscholas
tic League. Calef won a double-header
last Sunday and is now even in the
race with the Kings.
WILLAMETTE VERY EASY
MT. ANGEL RUNS UP 21 TALLIES
ON METHODISTS.
Salem Team Fails to Get Single Hit
and Its Men Contribute Many
Costly Errors.
MOUNT ANGEL. Or., May 28. (Spe
cial.) Willamette University was white
washed on the college diamond this after
noon by a score of 21 to 0. Willamette
did not secure a single hit, while Mount
Angel annexed 19 and played an error
less game.
O'Rourke's swift curves Were too much
for Salemites. From the outset it was
evident that Willamette had no chance.
Jaspers leaned on the ball heavily to
right and scored a home run on the first
ball pitched across the plate in Mount
Angel's half of the first, and it was not
long before Melchior and O'Rourke had
also registered home runs. At the end of
the inning Mount Angel had ten runs
piled up and had landed seven hits. The
visitors seemed to be in the air, making
several bad errors, which were respon
sible for the score.
In the second. Mount Angel again an
nexed seven runsu Altogether there were
five home runs. The game was a rather
slow one and interest lagged. Mount
Angel played her usual trump cards, how
ever, as her bunting, good infield work
and heavy hitting showed.
The winning of this game somewhat
evens old scores between the two schools,
as last Fall Willamette defeated Mount
Angel on the gridiron, and the collegians
have had a chip on their shoulders ever
since. Tho score:

RAGING SEASON TO OPEN
RIVERSIDE CLUB WILL GIVE
MATINEE TOMORROW.
Speeders New to Portland Will Con
tend With Old Favoritcs Rain
Improves Track.
Everything is in readiness for the
Decoration day racing matinee of the
Riverside Driving Club, the first meet
of the season, which is scheduled to
be held at the track of the Portland
Fair & Livestock Association tomorrow
afternoon.
The rain of last night is looked upon
as a blessing, providing the downpour
does not continue, for it will put the
track in first-class condition for fast
time Monday.
The first race of the four harness
events scheduled will be for pacers.
O. J. Brown's Miss Altelena is a prime
favorite because of her performances
last season, but Thomas W. Murphy
thinks he is going to surprise the tal
ent with his Tobasco, a newly Imported
speed marvel. Dan S., owned by Hu
bert & Hall, is also a possibility.
T. E. Howlltt's Dottie Dimple has
worked nicely on the track in the work
outs held during the past week. The
bay trotting mare performs Just as
reliably as she did last season, and
she will bear watching in the second
race the first trotting event.
J. J. Kadderly's Zeltoka is another
entry in the trot, and past perform
ances indicate this entry will prove a
strong contender. G. K. Howltt will
also be on deck with Hunkey Dory, a
fancy stepper of somewhat unknown
ability.
The third and fourth races will be
