HARNESS EVENTS

Fair Associations in North

Their Programmes.
CALIFORNIANS TO ENTER
Racing: Enthusiasts Awaiting Sched
ules and Announcement of Purses
to Bo Offered Best Trot
ters In Land Coming.
BT W. J. PETRAIN.
Harness horse enthusiasts throughout
the Northwest are anxiously awaiting
the announcement of the scheduled
events to be held on the Northwest Fair
Association circuit during the coming
Fall season of racing.
All the fair associations affiliated
with the Northwestern circuit are bus
ily engaged in preparing their pro
grammes, and the purses, and events
will be promulgated Just as soon as the
various clubs can apportion the prizes
they contemplate offering.
Johnson Porter, president of the
Portland Fair & Livestock Association,
has returned from California, and since
his return seeral preliminary meetings
have been held, but nothing definite
enacted relative to the amount of the
purses to be offered or as to the num
ber of big stake events to be staged.
The association, however, is enthusiastic
over the prospect of holding a big meet
here in the Fall, and within a few days
the big stake events at least will be
decided upon.
Two $10,000 Events to Be Staged.
According to the present attitude of
the directors of the Portland Fair A
Livestock Association, there will bo two
$10,000 events staged during the com
ing meet In Portland instead of the one
big stake event held last year. At
present this has rot been definitely de
cided by the directors, but most of them
seem favorable to the Idea of holding a
$10,000 pace as well as repeating the
trotting event of last Fall, wh,ich indi
cates that such will be their final de
cision as soon as the business of the
preliminary meetings is adjusted.
The horsemen generally are awaken
ing to tha fact that the harness horse
game Is rising rapidly in popularity in
the Northwest, and where purses of
$500 were looked upon as big stakes a
few years ago, the various associations
can now afford to put up many times
that amount and attract the best horses
In the country to this territory. The
success of the big stake event last Fall
Is ample demonstration of this, and the
directors of tha Portland Association
seem Inclined to favor big purses, which
undoubtedly adds to the attractiveness
of each dally card and therefore in
creases the gate receipts.
While In Los Angeles recently the
writer met C. A. Durfee. owner of the
famous mare, Helen Stiles, which horse
won the $10,000 trot at the Rose City
Park track last Fall, and the Califorpia
horseman announced that he would be
on hand at Portland again this season
with better horses even than Helen
Stiles.
Northwestern Horses Good.
"Portland is showing the right spirit
toward the harness game." said Dur
fee, "and the action of the Portland
Fair and "Livestock Association in put
ting up big purses will redound to the
great good of the entire Northwest.
While I won the race last year, and
confidently expect to do so again, I
still realize that tho Northwestern
horsemen are awakening to the fact
that they stand just as good a chance,
and will therefore be harder to beat
every year.
"I note with considerable pleasure
the fact that several Oregon horsemen
are Importing the best stock possible
to be obtained, as horses like The
Bondsman and others recently secured
by Oregonlans cannot do other than
Increase the blooded stock of the state
and at the same time better the racing
strain of horses bred in that section of
the Coast country.
"I am looking forward to the Port
land meet, as well as those of the
Northwestern circuit, with tho greatest
of pleasure, for I found conditions
there most agreeable in every respect,
and cannot praise the enterprise' and
progressiveness of Northwestern horse
men too much. They have the right
Idea and are .doing a great good in
fostering the cleanest of sports har
ness horse racing."
Durfee also announced that there
were more California horsemen con
templating entering their strings on

horses over tne eastern, tjemrai aim
Grand circuits this season.
With the California horsemen as en
thusiastic as Durfee appears to be, in
dications for a most successful meet
throughout the Northwest are bright
Indeed, and the horsemen of Portland
and Oregon are Just as keen for the
opening of the harness season, for they
confidently believe that they have
horste capable of competing on oven
terms with anything California has to
offer. Where such a spirit of rivalry
exists there will undoubtedly be some
fine racing this Fall, and the outlook
Is most promising for a general success
all over the circuit.

SOUTHERN' CALIFORNIA MAKES
PLANS FOR SEASON.
Yachting and Motorboat Enthusiasts
of San Pedro, Balboa and New
port Hold Confabs.
LOS ANGELES, April 8. (Special.)
Every present indication points to a
b'g year In the yachting: and motor
boating circles of Southern California
waters this season, but there has been
nothing so significant of the increased
interest In those sports as the recep
tion by the Balboa and Newport mo
torboat men tendered recently to the
members of the South Coast Yacht Club.
vjhere was much more to that week
end visit than met the eye, and, al
though the arrangements are not yet
completed, . the results of the confab
promise to important movements.
One of these Is the establishment of
a calling station for the South Coast
Yacht Club's boats at Newport, and
the other is the addition to the South
Coast Club's fleet of about 20 to 30
motorboats from East Newport and Bal
boa. -here is reason to believe that both
these now tentative projects will be ac
complished facts within a short time
and the result will be to give the mo
torboat men a safe anchorage at San
Pedro and give the South Coast Yacht
Club members a much needed calling
station in the south.
Motorboat owners are rushing things
all along the southern California coast
and the Balboa and East Newport men
with a fleet of near 26 boats, ranging
from the 35-foot cruiser, Ysidora, to a
15-foot knockabout, have been for some
time discussing- tho formation of a
ClMb.
It was suggested and discussed at
the reception to the South Coast Yacht
Club members that Instead of forming
a club, which would be comparatively
small, restricted to its home waters an
chorage, that the Balboa and Newport
men, motorboats as well as sail, Join
tho South Coast Yacht Club in a body
and gain in that way the required an
chorage In San Pedro Harbor. In re
turn the South Coast Yacht Club mem
bers would establish a station with
. . tl.. 1 1... ttnrt YYialrA ttld
locaers, eic at
two points cruise terminals, thereby
greatly aiding motomoauns an"
lag all along tho coast, beside giving
each set of boatmen anchorages in tha
event of bad weather.
The entire meeting and discussion
was friendly, full of fellow yachtsmen
spirit. Dr. Albert Soiland acted as
toastmaster for the hosts, and the
South Coast Yacht Club speakers were
Commodore D. H. Laudersheimer. Vice
Commodore Warren Wood, Rear-Commodore
C. E. W. Hubbell, Secretary
Harry W. Wyatt. Fred C. Millard, H.
W. Mallen and others.
Within the next few days the new
houseboat of the Los Angeles Motorboat
Club will bo at her anchorage north of
the Kerckhoff wharf. She will be
moored near the shore line and a gang
way arranged for members and their
friends. Already several of the mem
bers have settled moorings for their
boats In the cove west of the turning
basin and about 200 yards from the
houseboat.
Victor Marsh, the veteran art dealer
and motorboat man, well known up and
down the coast. Is . having radical
changes made In his famous old 45-foot
cruiser. Olivette. All the inside bal
last is to be taken out and a castlron
keel weighing about a ton and a half,
stretching the whole length of the boat,
but tapering from stem to stern, will
be substituted. The Olivette is strong
and should not have any trouble with
tho outside weight.

BT W. J. PETRAIN
All over the country the thousands
of fans who eagerly watch tho results
of the dally contests among the biff
leaguers will gather about the score
board next Wednesday afternoon,
awaiting the returns of the first games
in the 1911 major league campaign,
signalling the start of tho struggle
that will end in tha annual world's
championship battle,
Philadelphia, in tho American
League, is generally picked to repeat
but even though conceded to be tho
most likely candidate, tho Athletics
are figured to have a harder fight than
during the past season. Nona of the
other American League clubs have
strengthened to a remarkable extent,
but while Connie Mack's youngsters
are still in the going, some of the wise
ones figure that Coombs and Bender,
tho stars of the downfall of the Cubs,
are slipping. The Athletics, on gen
eral appearance and past performances,
loom up as repeaters, with New York
and possibly Detroit as contenders.
Chicago seems stronger than last year
and it will be well to watch tho per
formance of Comiskey's White Sox.
White. Sox Gain In Trade.
The White Sox put over the best deal
of all last year when they secured
Lord and McConnell In exchange for
Smith and I'urtelL The two iniielders
named have rounded out Comiskey's
team to a nicety and if Hugh Duffy
can produce a couple of good outfield
ers to take the places of Dougherty
and Callahan, in case the veterans fall
down, the Sox will be heard from quite
frequently. Harry l,ord Is easily the
best third baseman in the big leagues,
and wise dopesters do not hesitate to
pronounce John I. Taylor a foolish in
dividual to have allowed this player to
get away from Boston.
The loss of Lord and McConnell is
quite likely to prove a hard blow to
the Red Sox. Without a third base
man that club is not likely to prove so
successful as it was when Lord was
playing great ball and the Beaneaters
of the American League gained the
title of "Speed Boys." Cleveland may
also furnish a few surprises.
With Jimmy McAleer at the helm at
Washington the Senators may make a
better showing, but hardly better than
fifth place is given that club by the
baseball dopesters. St. Louis appears
to be the weak sister again and most
of the war correspondents following
the big league clubs freely predict the
cellar for Colonel Bob Hedges and his
new manager, Bhoddy Wallace.
Cubs Always Contenders.
In the National League the ever
prominent Chicago Cubs are looked
upon as the club to beat, and this year
New York, Pittsburg and Cincinnati
are out with strong claims as to their
respective ability to accomplish the
task. Pittsburg did it in 1909, but the
Cubs came back in 1910, though they
dropped the highest prize in baseball to
the American League champions.
Pittsburg has always been a factor
in the National League race since Fred
Clark assumed the managerial berth,
and he seems satisfied that he pos
sesses another championship team.
Naturally speculation relative to tho
Pittsburg club brings out the annual
queries about Han Wagner. Will the
Flying Dutchman "come back?" As far
as the writer can ascertain the ritts
burg slugger has not yet "gone back."
Speculation relative to Wagner should
be confined to the possibility of his
going back this season. Like Cy
Young. Wagner has been going back
for years, but at the end of each pen
nant race his name is usually found at
the top of the heap in almost every de
partment of the game, and the big
fellow promises to be there again this
season.
McGraw's Team Strong.
The New York Nationals, under tha
leadership of Mugrgsy McGraw and with
the peerless Christy Matthewson twirl
ing in his old-time form, is always a
dangerous competitor, and this year"
the Giants are again a formidable
looking candidate for the baseball
honors. McGraw is saying little, but
the scores rung up by the Giants in the
Southland indicate that the New York
ers are still in the running and will be
contenders in 1911, just as they have
been in the past eight or nine years.
Cincinnati is the champion Spring
tlme pfn ant.ginner of baseball and
last year, tor abort time, the Reds
threatened to do sonwaktawr, but final
ly wound up in the old rut With a
percentage of about .500. ClarO Grif
fith is hopeful Instead of sanguine this
Spring, and it may be that this will
prove a most favorable attitude for tho
Cincinnati club, as too many pennants
have been won by the admirers of that
club before the race commenced in the
past. Philadelphia, in tho National
League, may also be heard from,
though "Red" Dooin does not seem to
have strengthened the club to such an
extent that a better position than last
season is to be hoped for. St. Louis,
Boston and Brooklyn are again in line
to scrap it out for the cellar.
Ro.h!l Is trulv the National game
and next Wednesday the thcisands ot
fans all over the country win com
mence watching the fortunes of the lfi
clubs forming the two major leagues.
