Evidence of fraud In en rac and al
lgl Jugglery In another caused aora
disappointment to tho crowd at th
Ftat Fair races today.
Th fre-for-all trot for a liono
irorsa simmered down to a walkover
for Bell N-. with Dowllna: up. after
claims of a "job" had been registered
br MeOutra. McOulr had hla Oar
break entered, who looked like ctnch
money, and evidently tha horsemen
thourht so. UcGulr waa approached
thle mornlnf with the tidings that the
raca waa called off. and on the strength
of the horsemen' repreaentatlona put
hla Daybreak on tha car ready to atart
for California.
Suddenly In the afternoon, with Day
break tucked anurly In the car. the
horsemen had a change of heart and
announced they would take the trot for
the parse.
President Booth and the Judges ob
jected and Dowllnc waa allowed to
take a walkoTer with Bell N for
the mile, which ahe stepped In :0Ji.
and took hla own and half tha balance
of the entrance money.
Tha last rare of the card, a running
event for a mile, waa declared off be-
raus Galbreath aaserted there waa
fraud In an attempt to put A. rowtu
up on Confederate In place of Born ton.
Confederate la Boynton'a horae. and
when a protest was made to th
Judge against Boyoton riding hi own
horse and they asked that Powell be
put up. the Judge were at aea to
understand th reason when no betting
or hooka wer allowed on th grounds.
Oa I breath put In a kick because hla
Dtreetella waa entered and the race
wa declare 1 off. The protest aaralnst
Roynton rifling waa on the ground
that be had entered a frame-up to pull
hla horae.
There was little excitement In the
harness races of th day. Th track
was heaTler than ever and everything
went In airaight heats Maurice a
Pun can's bay gelding had easy money
all t way through In th 1:15 pac
and waa ao far ahead tn each heat
that he turned In hla sulky at th
stretch and watched the balance of
the Held go out for the reat of the
snonev.
In this race Mack N. was distanced
tn th first heat and Kit Crawford,
after gnlnr to sixth In th first heat,
went behind the distance flag In the
second. William T. took aecond money
bv winning two straight seconds In
tha consolation 1:1 J trot Ponaeham had
aa easy a time as Maurice A In the
face. Three heats took him into first
money without hardty scaring a sweat.
Mabel looked like third money, but
was compelled to drop to fourth on a
decision of th Judges.
In th third and deciding heat Ma
bel came tn a good second, but Dun
can shot hla mare over across In front
of Flnradora Z. The Judges railed a
foul for attempting to drive all over
th pasture and slipped Mabel back a
point, giving Floradora Z. third money.
Phyllis Wjrxn put up a good battle
for second money and took It down.
All th way through th only chance
for tha long end of th pnre waa
rv raj ham. who toyed with the ether
three pacera and made eewy finishes
with hla head pulled up high.
Both of the running racea looked
good from the atart. with finishes farTt
under th wire. Not a horae today but
waa In Its element In the mod and aa
a result th time was fart for a track

Oregon last season, may also play
under club colors this year.
Cables have been strung across the
field, from which eight arc lights are
suspended, lighting up the whole grid

LONDON, Sept. If.. (Special.)
Thompson Clarke, a Vancouver, B. C,
football enthuiast. who has arrived
here after a 3600 mile bicycle ride,
means to secure a big competition cup
before he returns. Then he expects to
give a mighty boost to football In Can
ada, especially In British Columbia.
What he wants, he says, is some
prominent sportsman or Institution to
offer the cup as an encouragement to
the sports who have given the game a
footing on the Pacific Coast, so as to
show how .football Is really tho Brit
ish National game.
If he gets that he will be able t
ansyer the gibes of American baseball
fans wno, he says. Jeer at the Van
couver football enthusiasts and say
"Your football Is only a Jumble. What
do the people in the o.d country care
about -you and your football?"
On the way through to England
Clarke says he had some narrow es
capes from death. He wore out five
pairs of boots and three suits of
clothes. But he la sure he will pres
ently be able to report to Con Jones
and other supporters of the British Co
lumbia Association- Football League

Charley Sherman, sporting editor of
the Lincoln (Neb.) State Journal, claims
for the late Frank Selee the honor of
being the discoverer of Buddy Ryan.
Sherman sends us the following clip
ping from his column;
A San Francisco newspaper credits the
discovery of Buddy Ryan, Portland's sen
sational outfielder, who has been sold to
the Cleveland Americans, to Henry Sievers,
president of the Nebraska State League.
The San Francisco writer is unconsciously
taking the credit from the lamented Frank
Selee which Is the latter's Just due. Facts
are it was Selee who dug up and developed
Buddy. The Portland whlzser was playlng
wlth a semi-pro team In Grand Island, Neb.,
during the season of '08. Pa Rourke heard
of Buddy and went to Grand Island to look
him over. However. Pa was impressed by
the second base playing of George Graham,
grabblnar the latter and letting Buddy stay
out In the cold.
Ryan made his home in Denver and that
Winter he was snapped up by Selee for a
tryout with the Pueblo Indiana In '07.
Buddy made good and was sold to the Bos
ton Americans on the advice of George Huff,
then scouting for John X. Taylor. The Bos
ton magnate early in the season had paid
$1500 to the Pueblo management for the
pick of the team and Buddy was Hon"
choice, aa waa Pitcher Eddie Cicotte. of
Lincoln, who went to the Bostonlans on a
similar deal. Before prlng practice was
ushered In the next Spring. Ryan was sold
to Portland and did not get th promised
big league tryout.

to play an outfield position next season
and it is not altogether improbable that
th ex-New Orleans shortstop will b
seen In the Portland seoondary de
fense In 1912, especially If McCredle is
unable to fill Buddy Ryan's shoes with
some stellar performer.
"Shortstop Is the hardest Infield po
sition to play," declared Lindsay th
other day during an argument on this
score. "At least that's my view, and
I've played third, short and second. The
hit-and-run breaks up a shortstop's
work, for Just about the time he starts
for second to take a peg the batter
zings one down on his third base aide
and catches him off his balance."
Lindsay cavorted In the outfield dur

The latest In pugillstio accessory cir
cles is a pneumatlo boxing glove in- '
vented by a Philadelphia man. Al Dunn.
These gloves, which will soon be on
the market, have a rubber bladder on
the back, which takes the place of the
usual curled hair. These ar blown up
through a small tube.
The new pads should be most useful
In colleges and schools and In gymna
siums, where young men can Indulge
in boxing without danger of being
bruised up and otherwise injured. They
will also give professional scrappers a
chance to Indulge In hard biffing when
practicing with their trainers, with lit
tle danger of hurting the- latter.
They also open a new field for trick
ery In the fight world, for, with Jack
Johnson dolled up In a pair of the balloon-face
protectors. Jeff and all the
other lemons In the hope and hopeless
divisions probably could dance a High
land fling on the big shine's map.
For figurative English "aa she Is
spoke," we're forced to hand the vo
cabulary pennant to th "Crisp, Crack
ling Chatter" man on the Seattle Times.
When Mundorff and Harris, of the;
Portland club, and Ort, of the Giants,
were arrested in Seattle during the
week for shooting craps, we first find
them In "Charles Hannlngs cocktail
chateau." Then, as the "trigynous
trio" pushed "hectic appeals" at the
"lruxnimate ivories," trusty blueooata
swooped down upon the "highball han
gar," they were "frisked in the buss
cart" and for a time It looked as if
they were due for a session "In the
booby hatch."
Tes, and before we draw the funereal
raiment on the sorrowful scenery, let
us add that the Rotund One, meaning
David Edward Dugdale, rescued them
from the' yawning "ekookum house."
Now for something sensible -this
vouched for and sworn to by Arthur
Cavill, swimming Instructor of the
Multnomah Club, who expects to swim
across Tillamook Bay this afternoon
with shackles on every portion ot his
anatomy but his ears.
T was fishing one afternoon In Cooa
Bay with 'Dutch' Armbruster, former
Portland ball player," quoth Cavill.
"We had plenty of ammunition; In fact,
Armbruster's cap was pin-cushioned
with fishing flies. But luck was
against us. All afternoon we cast
without the sign of a fish.
"About 6 o'clock in the afternoon
'Dutch' started rowing for shore when
a gust of wind took his cap and landed
the lid in the bay. I dove out In the
water as a rescuer and when we exam
ined the cap in the boat later we tounfl
no less than five beautiful trout stuck
fast In the hooks."

sions will be the revision of his fath

civil life, there are always those who
call for a change In the existing laws
or regulations. But Is there need for
the new rules to govern boxing con

from boxing patrons during recent
