THF SUNDAY OKEGOXIAN. PORTLAND. AUGUST II. 1913. FREAK DIAMOND IS KETGHIGAN TREAT Beach Serves in Alaska Town in Flace of Ball Lot 'Tween Tides. TIME OF GAME IRREGULAR Eccentricities of Eddie Determine rmplre Call of "Play Ball" Interest Intense In American Game In Far North. BY ROSCOE FAWCETT. WRANGEL, Alaska. Aug. 10. (Spe cial.) We have read much of the vicis situdes of early baseball, of the diffi culties encountered by the Chadwlcks. the Ansons. the Spaldings and other pioneers, but after a 1000-mile voyage, vacation-bent from Seattle, threading the countless islands along the coast of British Columbia and Southeastern Alaska, we have bumped up against a freak of modern baseball that makes the obstacles of Argonaut days appear as simple as the rights of women to a Pankhurst or a Dr. Anna Shaw. Ketchiran. the first port of call of the Alaska Steamship Company, boasts of the most unique baseball diamond in the world, a stadium located on the seashore, cnpable of being utilized as a speedcourse for hydroplane or motor boats in the morning, a fishing ground at TOOon, and an Ideal field for diamond endeavor a few hours later. In the United States the science of base ball advances as Its stars broaden and progress, but in Ketchiran baseball is a very much "a la moon." The very life of the game there depends on the daily allotment of the briny deep, and that allotment in turn depends on the big moor, above. Tide Floods Diamond. Ketchlcan. a thriving town of 1000 souls and countless weird totem poles, signifying . the native dead, gets two hi?h lides per 24 hours. When the ocean eddies in the home plate and the a bod? of the Rodders, the Lindsays and the Bancrofts lies buried under 18 feet of water. As. a consequence, when the waters recede., sea-weerls. logs, driftwood and other unwelcome visitors litter the sendy infield. But it takes more than that 'to daunt the Ty Cobbs. the Chief Benders and the Patsy O'Rourkes of the North, for 30 m'nutes after the sway of the rain check, the amphi theater is ready for baseball, white wash lines, grandstand and all. To further complicate the baseball complexion, tides run approximately 40 minutes later each day. It takes no mathematician to see that no Coast League schedule would do up here, so the dopester. always alert to the Baura circuit expansion idea, can cut "catch-as-catch-can" off the eligible list im mediately. Sometimes play is called in the morning, other times at noon, again in mid-afternoon, and as late as 9 at niiiht. Farther North, around Daw son and Fairbanks, baseball has been played near the midnight hour. Despite all these hindrances of longi tude and latitude, the field at Ketchl can is prettily located, the team well drilled, and the class of ball furnished about on a par with that seen in the cities of Oregon and Washington. Ketchiran la oa Piles. Ketchican. like Astoria, is built on piles. It clings to a steep hillside, as barnacles to a ship. The main street, high over the sand, parallels the third base line of the ball park, and affords excellent, though novel, grandstand privileges. The docks abut on the ini tial sack, while over the left fielder's head a creek babbles on to Join the ocean, which laps contentedly at the tide-flat only a short stretch beyond the sun field. Can you beat a combination like that? Imagine Hap Hogan stalling, not for rain, but for tide, with his club one run behind at the start of the fourth inning. Ground rules are un known in Ketchican, but we have it on the authority of Captain Kubll. of the Ketchy Cubs, that balls hit into the ocean are good for four bases, un less the tide has approached to within 50 feet of the Infield, in which case life-preservers are rushed to the gar deners and only two bases allowed. I'mplre'a Word la Law. We are further Informed that: "There's never a law of God or man Runs north of fifty-three." Whoever penned that notion evi dently entirely overlooked the poor umpire. Maybe he considered the ar biter In an Individual category. At any rate, at Ketchican, as in the major leagues, the word of the tenth man Is law. People in Alaska bet heav ily on their ball teams. The Juneau club takes a 250-mlle steamer ride next week, backed by $3000 in Alaska gold, bound for Ketchican, to settle an an cient grievance. The Metlakatla Indians, too, excel at the American sport, while Sitka, Wrangel. and numerous other towns point to their home talent athletes with swelling pride. Metlakatla has its own claim to uniqueness, too. but not from an ath letic viewpoint. ' It is one town in Alaska where the white man is not allowed to linger long. In 1887. about 800 Christian Indians, of the Tsimpsean tribe, under the leadership of Father Duncan, the Apostle of Alaska, abandoned their vil lage in British Columbia in order to gain greater -religious liberty. They migrated to the Annette Islands, not far north of Prince Rupert, but across the Canadian boundary. Uncle Sam later set apart this reservation for their use. and Father Duncan has since their ruled with an iron hand. He in formed me that about $1,100,000 of the Indians' money had passed through his hands in the last 20 years, of which amount he had managed to retain 10 per cent for his own exchequer. Camera Lady Almoat Left. Despite the anti-white pronuncia mentos. however, the steamer. Dolphin of the Alaska line almost departed on her journey minus a Portland lady and her two children Mrs. J. R. Elliott and daughters. Bun and Margaret, 730 F.verett street. Mrs. Elliott remained long after the warning whistles, but she returned with a camera loaded with Father Duncan snapshots, which she had set her mind upon securing. D. W. Proebstel, 1061 East Main street. Portland, is a passenger aboard the Dolphin, bound for the Treadwell mines. Miss Rose Braem and Miss Eleanor Yale represent Vancouver. Wash., in the excursion party. Wrangel. Alaska, is the next stop In importance above Ketchican, and it is here that Bill rioogers. me rornana baseball captain, expects to spend the roming Winter In quest or near. To morrow I will embark on a two-days deer hunt up the picturesque 8tiklne River, which finds its neaawaters back in the glacier-dotted Interior. Arctic grouse, partridges, rabbits, porcupine, bear, caribou, fox. wild goats and mountain sheep abound in this section. Alaska is a hunters' para dise.

IS F Sensational Harness Horse Is Trotter-Pacer. CHECKERED LIFE IS HIS Equine to Perform In Big Trotting IVature of Portland Meet This Month Is Looked' Upon as a Likely Winner. Turf followers have been regaled with many yarns of cart horses evolv ing into trotting and pacing sensations, but in Adam O., a probable "starter In the classic 2:12 trot, the J2500 Port land day feature of the "Little Grand Circuit" race meeting August 26-31, the public will see not only a Jivery stable horse, but a versatile trotter pacer. Adam G. is without doubt the freak of the Western turf. A son of Mc Klnney, the famous sire, whose off springs grow speedier as the years roll around, the 14-year-old wonder is upon the trotting programmes this season for the first time in almost ten years. Adam G.'s career reads llkt the checkered life of a soldier of fortune. He started public life as a trotter, then hauled the public about in a yellow-wheeled livery-stable buggy for two years, then achieved fame as a pacer and is once more bacR in tne trotting events. Adam G. was first owned by E. P. Heald. of San Francisco. The son of McKinney and Nona Y. made a mark of 2:11 Vi as a trotter there when a mere j-oungster. For some unaccountable reason he was soon removed from the track, and the next heard of him was when he was hitched to the livery-stable ve hicle. Charles L. De Ryder plucked Adam G. from his environment, sold him to D. L. Bachant, of Fresno, his present owner, and the animal 'was converted into a pacer. Three Record Heats Scored Here. In 1909 Adam G.- paced three 2:06 heats on the Portland track and proved the outstanding winner of the North west. So well did he look that he was taken East for a campaign on the Grand Circuit. But there his mark removed him from all but the free-for-all events, and .he was called upon to meet too speedy talent to be a money-making investment for his owners. He was brought back to the Coast and was a consistent winner, establishing a mark of 2:0oV8 at Wood land, Cal. One morning last Spring Adam G. was led to the track and asked to trot. Not only did he go back to his childhood style of racing, but he has performed so valiantly this season that he is looked upon a strong contender in the classic 2:12 trot of the Portland meeting. He lost to Bernlce R., another pros pective Portland starter, at Tleasan ton. but it was his first start in a trot In years, and even then he came sec ond to the winner, who negotiated the course In 2:11 M- Oregon has a splendid chance to carry off the honors in the 2:12 trot REAK DIFFICULTIES UNDER WHICH AT KETCHIKAN, ALASKA. 1 - f mmuZ mm f , . wf TK!.? this year. Frank E. Alley, of Rose burg, has in Bonaday, a son of Bon Voyage (2:08), a trotter whom many believe will win the biggest slice of the 12500 purse. Bonaday has a mark of 2:27 as a 2-year-old. but in work outs this year has negotiated the mile in 2:11 and the quarter in :29tt. Bon Guy Is Contender. Bon Guy (2:11). another son of Bon Voyage, Is a probable entrant for the race, and one of those figured among the contenders. He is a 5-year-old, owned by S. S. Bailey, of Pleasanton, Cal. Bon Guy is a futurity winner and has been working in fine form this season. Bernlce R. (2:11) is the trotter whose 1912 performances would indi cate that she is to be favorite in the Portland race. She Is an 8-year-old. owned by M. C. Keefer, of National City, CaL 8he is out of Dexter Prince, by DIone (2:07H). and is from the well-known A. B. Spreckels stable.

Hood River Men Plant Fry. HOOD RIVER, Or., Aug. 10. (Spe cial.) A half dozen enthusiastic Hood River fishermen have been busy since Thursday transporting 50 cans of trout fry, received here Wednesday from Portland, to a number of the smaller branches of Hood River, where they are being planted. A large number of the fry was taken up to the Lake Branch and some to the West Fork. Many were released in brooks close to the city. The distribution was .done under the supervision of Ray E. Scott, secretary of the Commercial Club. Half of the fry were rainbow and half brook trout. IS LONG ON PROMISES California Fight Promoter Is Busy Arranging Fu ture Bouts. RITCHIE-HOGAN GO NEXT Flynn and Charlie Miller Meet in 20-Round Bout Labor Day At tell Anxious for Return Match With Kllbane. BY HARRY B. SMITH. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. x 10. (Spe cial.) The fight game in San Fran cisco, is long on promises. If there is . I . ' tn . in, tho -nrAolCA to COXlTe. Coffroth has busied himself with sev eral matches in tne ruiure ana me bouts that are carded look something like this: Friday night, August 16 Four-round bout between Willie Ritchie and One Round Hogan. Labor Day, September 2 Jim Flynn vs. Charlie Miller, 20 rounds. Admission 'Day, September 9 Willie Ritchie vs. most available lightweight. 20 rounds. Discovery Day, October 13 am ai tell and Johnny Kilbane. The last named bout is still in the making, but it shows that the promo tor,, aro rlnlni? A tall bit Of hustling and figure on giving the spectators something wortn wnne. The Xour-round card for next Friday night between Hogan and Ritchie is a classy one. Louis Parente is the pro moter who decided to hook up these two boys and he is paying a pretty penny. Ritchie demanded and secured $1000 for his end, and Hogan is to be granted 25 per cent of the gross re ceipts. The man who gives the show has de tvm ft will hn necessary to charge Jl for his gallery, Instead of the customary u cents, ana ucwuuan the interest that has been displayed, it i ,nit llkelv that Dreamland rink will be crowded that night Of course. It is naraiy proraMs wim there will be a decisive result in such a short distance, but it will, in the end, lead up to a 20-round match, which is what the fighters are themselves look ing forward to. Miller and Flynn Carded. Coffroth's main card on Labor Day will be a 20-round match between Charlie Miller and Jim Flynn. the Col orado fireman. Miller Is a local heavy weight who has been considered more or less of a Joke for several years. Of late he has been winning steadily and proved quite a surprise when he gained a decision over Al Kaufman not so many weeks ago. His friends think highly of his chances and there is no question but that there will be a good crowd on hand when the two men mix. Flynn is not to be rated as a stakehorse, but at the same time he is a tough heavy weight to beat. The bout will prove Just what Miller amounts to. If Charlie can get over this hurdle, he will have a great chance for some matches in the future that will bring him in plenty of coin. For Admission Day. Coffroth has promised Willie Ritchie a match. His opponent is to be selected later, but if Hogan makes a suitable showing in four rounds, he will likely be selected. Ritchie, who is not picking the easy ones, expressed a desire to take on Packey McFarland. The Chicagoan, however, dodged the issue. Packey, when he was offered the match, de clared that he thought his chances of getting on with Wolgast in JJew York were good and that he couldn't over look the opportunity. Harlem Tommy Murphy was consid ered, but in training for the Attell fight. Murphy hurt one of his fingers and the chances are he will be on the shelf for some weeks to come. Hogan and Ritchie Are Rivals. Hogan is the only one left who would be a good drawing card. Hogan and Ritchie are natural rivals, having been brought up in the four-round game in San Francisco. Time was when Ritchie was begging Hogan for a fight. Now the shoe is on the other foot and Ritchie can do the dictating. Willie is anxious to forge to the front GDFFROTH and would prefer.bigger money, ..but has reached the conclusion that the sensible thing to do is to accept what is offered him. Abe Attell will be granted a bout in October, providing that Johnny Kll bane sees fit to grant the request. Abe suffered a badly cut lip in that mlxup with Tommy Murphy and he has al ready refused an offer from Tom Mc Carey to fight Harry Thomas, in Los Angeles, due to that same Injury. The latter part of the week Attell left for the springs and will put In several weeks loafing around and taking things easy. The Attell-Murphy fight was about as even an affair as I have seen. It was far from being as peppery as the last match between the two boys, but there was practically no shade In favor of either man and to have given it to one, would have been doing the other an injustice. Attell la Still Clever. Murphy had the pull in the weights and at the outset it looked as If he would win. Attell, however, surprised the crowd by the clever fashion in which he punished the New Yorker about the body. Murphy didn't like that sort of treatment and on several occasions, he backed away from the sit uation. Attell looked to have trained earnestly and he was as game as any one could desire. Taking into consideration the fact that he was fighting a lightweight. Attell made a good showing. I doubt If he is as good as lie was once upon a time, but Just the same he earned for himself a chance to gain back the title that he lost In Los Angeles to the Clevelander. Ritchie, who has been away all the week on an automobile trip into the mountains, narrowly escaped a bad ac cident. With two of his friends, Ritch ie was driving into L'klah, when some thing went wrong and the machine plunged over the grade. Fortunately there was a tree In the path of the car that stopped its descent. As it was, the automobile turned turtle and several horses had to be secured to pull it back on the road. Ritchie, you know, is an expert mechanician and a careful driver, but from the way he sent the word in concerning the acci dent, he was frightened when it hap pened. Picture Thing of Past. Word has been received from Wash ington that the President has signed a bill that prohibits the transportation of moving pictures of fights between states. The bill, or rather law. is very strict in its provisions and also de clares that no news of the betting odds of any fight shall be wired from one state to another. The penalty Is im prisonment for six months or a fine of 21000. It acts for pictures that have been taken in the past as well as any that may be taken In the future, and doubt less means that such films will hardly be taken hereafter. There Isn't enough money In the game to make It worth while to take pictures for use in any one state. The California state rights for the Wolgast-Rivers pictures, which were extremely sensational, only brought $2500 and the cost of taking the films amounted to something like 21300. SPORTING SPARKS THE big 1912 baseball laugh Is on the Philadelphia Athletics. Last Spring, with the critics conceding the American League pennant to Connie Mack's team, and the Athletics modestly saying "amen" to the most flattering compliments, the players were engaged in the delightful occupation of counting their 1912 world's championship wealth. Today they are wondering if they will be able to pass Washington in the race. The failure of the Athletics and even Connie Mack concedes that the task of overcoming the Red Sox lead is a well-nigh impossible one is due to a certain extent to their slight re gard for competitors in the early stages of the season. Instead of Jumping off in front and fighting for every game, the world's champions, with the thoughts of their famous 1911 spurt in mind, dallied along, taking things easy and waiting for mid-season to take ad vantage of the opposing slumps. But not only did the opponents, with the exception of Chicago, fail to slump, but the reserve power of the Athletics was missing. The result is a team which, barring practically superhuman efforts, cannot finish better than sec ond, and probably will land third at the wire. The Giants have been pulling for the Athletics to win the American League pennant, for they know the Athletics, and would rather test their mettle against the Mackmen in a post-season series for the world's title than the wonderful Boston Red Sox. The Red Sox have a splendid pitch ing staff, the best outfield in the Amer ican League and probably the best in baseball today. In addition the slug gers have a longing for southpaw offer ings, which would make Rube Marquard a negligible quantity in the world's series. Those baseball fans who, after wit nessing dope-upsetting galore in the National game, had adopted the proverb "Take nothing for granted In base ball," always accepted the phrase with this mental reservation: "Washington Is Impossible." But Washington, the despised out sider, tail-ender or seventh-place fin isher in seasons as far back as most followers of the game can remember. Is not "impossible." The Senators are distinctly "possible" this season, al though not "probable." The wonderful showing of Washing ton this season is a decided tribute to Clark Griffith, generally rated as a major league managerial failure. "Griff's" vindication is expressed in the position Washington now occupies in the American League percentage col umn next door to the Boston leaders. At Cincinnati and New York Griffith was hampered by the "higher-ups." But at Washington he was given free rein. He purchased a big block of the stock, tackled the proposition In his own fashion, and produced the won der of the 1912 American League and the best team Washington ever pos sessed. Clyde Milan, the center-fielder of the Washington Senators, has been run ning bases this season in a manner to cause fandom to forget Ty Cobb's best efforts. They say that Milan is the greatest base-stealer in the business, and his wonderful record goes to show that his admirers arc not far wrong. He stole 57 bases, against 36 for Cobb, in figures compiled up to a few days a' . . . For 33 games up to and Including that of August 1, Ty Cobb had a bat ting average of .511. In 143 times at bat he hit safely 73 times and scored 37 runs. In three double-headera he secured 20 hits. One of the 1912 baseball phenoms Is Eppa Rixey, Jr., the Virginia Univer sity hurler, who is playing with the Phillies. His family objects to his playing baseball and Manager Dooin has hired a bodyguard to protect his star from kidnaping. Poor tailoring lost a recent game for Hew York, according to the Gotham writers. It seems that Umpire Bush wears a loose-fitting coat, instead of the snug variety of the most up-to-date dressers, and a hit that would have scored the winning run struck the offending coat. The batsman was sent back for another try and was un equal to the task, of poling out a safe one, O'DONNELL READY FOR TITLE DEBUT Portland Heavyweight Soon tc .Show Proof of "White Hope" Aspirations.

Portland, Or.?" Tommy Tracey, Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club boxing instructor, one time sensational welterweight and present manager-trainer of O'Donnell, is supremely confident that he has the next champion in tow. Portland fans will reserve their Judgment until after August 23 and September 6, when the Portland "white hope" is scheduled to run his first trial heats of the cham pionship race. O'Donnell is present amateur cham pion of the Pacific Northwest Every amateur heavyweight champion is eli gible to the "white hope" class, no mat ter how hard he works to achieve the top of the "simon pure" ladder. But every amateur champion Is not an em bryonic world's "pro" tltleholder; hence the skeptical attitude of the home guard and the failure of the fistic world to be aroused from its heavy weight lethargy by each newly-announced coming champion. O'Donnell has size and build suffi cient to boost him to the top of the lad der, but many "wise" discoverers of human giants have learned to their sor row that weight and height are not the only championship qualifications. Fighter Han ConUence. O'Donnell has confidence, but so have the others. O'Donnell has a first-class tutor, but so have the others. He hus a fair punch, but others have shown harder ones. At this untried stage of his career his nlmbleness of foot seems to be his only superior asset. But. despite O'Donnell's greenness, he Is not to be brushed aside with u smile. The white aspirants for the heavyweight championship are a me diocre bunch, and any big fellow with pluck, ambition, a heady manager and a fair share of fighting ability is en titled to recognition among the "white hopes." "All I want is a chance to show what O'Donnell can do against Charley Horn on.August 23, and another of the big San Franciscans on August 6," declares Tommy Tracey. "I am sure he can beat men of the Horn class, and then I am willing to send him against any of the big fellows, or even take a crack at 'come-back' Tommy Burns." Should O'Donnell become the cham pion of the world. Ireland, and not the United States, will claim O'Donnell as its son. For Mark was born at Cork, Ireland, 26 years ago. True, he has spent 23 of those 26 years in America, but the Kmerald Isle will point with pride to the "son of the sod" should he hew his way to the pinnacle of pu gilism. Tracey Nunn Protese Along;. Tracey has been nursing his protege along for more than a year, boxing with him several times a week and scouring the city for big fellows to pose as chopping-blocks and wrestling mats for his charge. He has instilled a certain amount of fistic knowledge into O'Donnell, seen him defeat Mad den, the big cop, without flinching; from the sturdiest wallops of the policeman-boxer, and says that his man is now ready for the test. The duo will leave Portland Friday night for San Francisco. Several days will be spent about training camp, and then comes the initial professional bout on Friday night with Charlie Horn, the California trial horse. If he eomes out best in his "sprint" bout Mark will have another chance with a tougher man on August 6. If he emerges vic torious from that contest he will be launched firmly upon the pugilistic sea. If not. he will probably turn once more to his occupation of gasfitter. O'Donnell's addition to the Portland "hope" squad gives the fightless city aspirants for title honors in three di visions. Otto Berg, having deserted Astoria for Portland, is seeking mid dleweight fame, while Bud Anderson, the Vancouver boy, who will have him self announced' "of Portland." Is soon to Invade California In a search for the lightweight championship. Bobby Lyman's claim to tho North western bantamweight crown has met with little consideration at the hands of the other 115-pound boys. Jockey n ... r.H Rlilv Farrell both hoot, at Lyman's announcement of his accession to the throne, ana tne tnree ro en gaged in a wordy imbroglio. T.'n.on In AnKWttr tO the DrOtestS Of the duo and their charges of Tunning- out, etc., comes oaCK wun an ouor m meet both of them at Eugene in the near future. He suggests August 23 as a good date for a tussle wun r arren, and Labor day, September 6, as the Aa.v noon which he would shatter Ben nett's aspirations. Lyman aoesn t venture m utu t.aU nett's victory over him at The Dalles some time ago, but declares Bennett was ten pounds overweight, and dazed the loser by butting in the early rounds so that he could win with ease in the tenth. Maccabees to Meet Sun Dials, The Modern Maocabeea, No. 1016. will play the Sun Dials a game of baseball at Falrview this afternoon. The Mao cabees broke the winning; streak of the Eagles last Sunday. Hyronimou striking out 21 men. and with the stel lar heaver In today tussle, expect aa easy victory. Boise Calls for Tonneson. Boise, of the Union Association, ha telegraphed Tommy Tonneson, recent ly released Colt pitcher, asking him t report for duty immediately. How ever, Tonneson has decided to stay in. Portland for a time, waiting for a pros pectlve call from a Clasa B. club.
