OFFICIALS CHOSEN E Well-Known Harness Men Are Selected for Portland' Speed Programme, 66 HORSED ARE ENTERED Six 'Harness Events to Be Held at Session Free-for-All Pace At tracts Finest Entries of Coun- . try Coast Record .May Co. BT JAMES H. CASSELL. The management of the Portland speed programme of August 26-31 took another step to Insure the success of the "Little Grand Circuit" meeting yes terday by appointing W. P. McNalr. the well-known Arlxona official, as start er, and a corps of competent North western horsemen to officiate at the coming harness and running horse com petitions. Mr. McNalr wound up a successful week of starting at Vancouver, the first meeting place of the 1912 North Pacific Fair Association. Saturday night. He has officiated with marked success at many of the big meetings on Eastern tracks, and Is recognized as one of the top-notchers In the business. Johnson P. Porter, of Portland; John P. Bollleaur of Spokane, and Thomas H. Tongue, of HUlsboro, Or., have been appointed judges; Wiley A. Morse, of Salem, clerk of the course: Henry Dren nan, of Portland, marshal of the course; Fred Brooker. of Vancouver, Wash.: J. J. Kadderly and J. S. Crane, of Port land, timers. The late-closing entries, with a few scattering yet to hear from, shows a total of 6 horses for six harness events, bringing the total harness per formers listed as probable Portland visitors at 150. a record for the Fall meetings In this city. Only one race, the free-for-all trot. Tias been canceled on account of the scarcity of entries, but it Is more than likely that an overnight event will be arranged to bring together the pick of the trotters at the meeting. While the free-for-all pace, with even entries, will present one of the smallest fields In the late-closing events, the fastest horses' In the his tory of Western pacing will face the barrier in this event. It seems very probable that the track record of 2:04i, held by Mona Wilkes, will top ple before the assault of the speedy seven. The septet of entries, with their marks, follows: Earl Junior, 2:02: Bland S.. 2:03: Dr. B. P.. 2:06i: Hal McKlnney. 2:06: Peter Preston. 2:08: juntur -sain an "i .u?ixi i -i.u, 2:104. Earl Junior is the speediest pacer of the squad. George T. Haag, of Calgary, writing that the Grand Circuit speeder Is in trim for a record performance here, gland S. holds the Western Can ada half-mile record, while Peter Pres-, ton Is a racer whose ability has not been gauged as yet. Hal McKlnney seems due for a wonderful seasoh. while Junior Dan Patch has been reel ing off the miles at a rate which prom ises to give him a better mark than the 2:09 of last season. In addition to the programme which calls for three harness and from two to three running races daily, two ama teur races, one a pace and the other a trot, will bring the Portland Driving Club pilots together. Another race, with the Portland -Hunt Club members competing. Is a prospective speed num ber. The following Is the list of horses named for the late-closing events: Z:S Trot, Parse S10O0.

Racine- neonle are not perturbed over the recent bad weather, and are confi- I dent that the rain of the past lew weens will only serve to place tne country Club track in the best of shape. They figure that August has had more than its share of moisture and that the week of August 26-31 Is sure to be a clear- weather one. www Some of the horsemen had much fun at the expense of Ben Walker, the old time "catch-as-catch-can" driver, and other Californlans. telling them that the water In Portland was unfit for wasn ing purposes, much less drinking. The contingent which arrived last week sampled the water the first thing, and the surprise was such a pleasant one that several Joined the "water wagon" club. Al B, the 3-year-old' pacer owned by Kennie & Taylor, of Victoria, is a full brother to Sable Hal, the horse which fell dead at a recent matinee of the Riverside Driving Club. College Maid, the famous guidelees pacer, will probably be seen In several exhibitions. She negotiated the mile track In 2:0714, going the half In one minute flat. SPORTING LIFE TELLS OF HIS MAJOR LEAGUE DEBUT. Barney Dreyfus Proves Faith in Coast Lad's Prowess Was Justified. The latest edition of Sporting Life has added a few more sentences oi praise to the rapidly-accumulating lf- brary devoted to f.auie Mensor doubis. The following is the way the ex-Portland Colt outfielder Is mentioned: "While it was generally conceded that Pittsburg must be content wltn second or third place In the race, and the Interest in the pennant race is not so keen on that account, much Interest was shown In the tryout of the fleet- footed fellow from far-off California. More reasons than usual brought about this state of affairs. In tne main-trie case was accentuated by the volley of criticism jammed at Dreyfus and Clarke for their action In playing aiensor, a rookie, against the Giants, vice Donlln, tried and true. "Colonel Dreyfus came back at the critics, but failed to silence them. Barney, finding his task a severe one, decided to lay low and wait for the boy himself to quiet the attack. Barney was firm in his belief that George Van Haltren hadn't erred In recommending Eddie Mensor as being of National League caliber, viz: 'Not a boy with a powerful punch, exactly, but one who got on the bags, knew what to do when on a good batsman, a brilliant fielder and also a player of the type who hur ries the opposition on every play made on him.' "With this thought .Dreyfus squatted as a standpatter. In the first stop on the Eastern pilgrimage the Pirates only clutched one game out of four, but In them Mensor played classy ball. Get ting to Boston the sweets of victory were tasted much oftener. In close, gruelling games Eddie Mensor rose to tne occasion a number or times. "In that renowned 19-lnning fray at Boston Old Van's boy was all to the good. All through the Boston series the lad from the glorious climate fig ured In team maneuvers. In 16 games he scored 13 runs, batted .370. cleaned up eight stolen sacks. Dreyfus had nothing to say In rebuttal. He permit ted the tadger's stunts to speak for themselves. They certainly did and the fan cry shifted from "Why play him? trt a tune soundtng something on this order: 'If the team only had nine such tossers.' Thus- endeth one stirring in cident of the Pittsburg season of 1912 For a period It certainly overshadowed the real race. mm fools critics rl w O- 1 WINS FIGHT Conley Puts Up Furious Battle With Heavier Man. ENGLISHMAN' OVER WEIGHT Despite Big Handicap Kenosha Lad Rushes Opponent AH Over Ring." Both . Badly Hammered and Marked by Contest. LOS ANGELES, Aug. 17. Harry Thomas, of Birmingham, England, won the decision today over Frankle Conley, of Kenosha, Wis., at the end of their scheduled 20-round bout at the Vernon arena. It was probably the fierceat fight ever staged at Vernon. Thomas forfeited his weight money by refusing to weigh in. In the ring lie appeared to be close to the lightweight limit, while Conley said he weighed 119. Before the fight Referee Eyton announced all bets off because Thomas was over weight. From first to last It was fought on both sides. Thomas far surpassed Conlev in boxing science and soon had the little fellow's face bleeding. Never theless, Conley seemed to pay no at tention to Thomas' blows and bored in continually. Round after round he would rush the Englishman to the ropes, then around the ring, taking four or five blows for the privilege of getting- in close. mm -j s Sjgjjrc----- THOMAS FEATURE PURSES OF PORTLAND X At In-fighting the Wisconsin '.ad had far the better of Thomas, and twice the Englishman appeared groggy. In the seventh Conley knocked one of Thomas' front teeth out with' a hard left. - In the eighth an ugly gash was opened over Conley's right eye, and he bled profusely. Of the 20 rounds, Thomas had the better of ten, Conley eight and two were even. In the preliminaries the 105-pound champion, Jimmy Austin, played with Joe Murphy, of Oakland, and won the decision at the end of six rounds. HUXTEIIS SAY DEER PLENTIFUL Game Wnrtlen Thinks There Are 0 0,000 in State Now. KLAMATH FALLS, Or.. Aug. 17. (Special.) Hunters report deer more plentiful than usual and say that it Is not difficult for good hunters to reach the limit of five bucks In, a week's hunting. The State Game War den thinks there are about 90.000 deer In the state now. Ducks are also more plentiful than In the past few seasons and as the open skson begins September 1, those hunt ers who have not been able to go out for the deer are consoling themselves that they can hunt ducks nearer at home. They are plentiful on the Upper Lake and in the marshes south of Klamath Falls. The Lower Klamath Lake Is a Gov ernment preserve now, so that hunting will not be nermitted within its limits. and after the season begins the birds will seek refuge there, to a certain ex tent, for they soon learn where they are safe. Clear Lake and Its marshes are also a reserve. With this protec tion and the close season, it Is prob able that ducks and geese will increase from year to year In this section. Lumber Pile Falls on Man. F. G. Strong, aged 37 years, was hurt at the plant of the Portland Lumber Company late yesterday when a pile of lumber fell on him, bruising his head nd shoulders. He was taken to St. Vincent's Hospital ' JONES 1Y STOP Lfinsrs Ad's Manager Thought to Be Afraid to Let His Man Meet McFarland. WEIGHTS FAR FROM EQUAL Defeat of Danny O'Brien by Burns Xot Snrpriso Callahan Has Pitching Find Jn Full Blood Winnebago Indian. W11J "Ulgast and McFarland meet In New York on September 27 as sched uled? Ad and Packey have been on the verge of a llstlc mlxup so many times, only to have negotiations called off at the last moment, that the feeling is general that something will upset the latest plan for a meeting between the premier lightweights. The dispatch announcing the match ing of the two men laid stress upon the fact that Wolgast signed the con tract without consulting Tom Jones, his manager. Once before he signed a contract; Jones raised an awful up roar, and, assisted by willing city of ficials, the bout was called off. Wolgast has agreed to permit Mc Farland to weigh in at 135 at 3 o'clock on the afternoon of the fight. This means that for $15,000 and the major share of the moving-picture coin Ad is to venture his 130 pounds and title against McFarland, the cleverest light weight In the ring, who will weigh close to 140 pounds ringside, in a ten round bout. There is every chance that Ad will evade the meeting, with Manager Jones figuring prominently in the quashing of proceedings. i ...

With t.ie approach of tne f ail term, tne audi tion of the Willamette students and the Salem enthusiasts commences to oi . !t.ni "frrtwnrH fnothflll. Immediately after the close of the 1911 season work was commenced to complete the football field which had been in construction here for two years. The grading of the field was not finished until last May. but now with the middle one root nigner man either side line and underdralned by thousands of feet of tiling Willamette FIGHT has one of the best fields in the coun try.- ... The Willamette team tins year win contain many new faces as the mem bers of the strong eleven that closed the season for the cardinal and old gold are now well scattered and tneir places will have to be filled from the subs of last season and the incoming material brought in by tne iresinuaii class. Six May Be Slisslug. At least five and probably six of last season's regulars will be missing when the season opens. According to a st rcnorts received from Blackweii, the Varsity center, .who is Summering in Alaska, his return in time for foot ball Is doubtful, although he will come in the second semester to rinisn nis course. Lowe, regular ieii euu. graduated, and Bellinger, left guard, will be kept out of the game on account of extensive lumbering interests in the Cascades, which require all of his time. Watson, left tackle, and v est ley. tackle and end, will not be in college. This will leave one entire side of the line and perhaps center to fill up with new men. The right side of Willamette's line should : fare bet ter. R. Homan, who has played right guard for the past two years win again work for this place. Ben Blt. the big tackle from juarsnrieui. win hold down the right tackle job. Bolt was new at the game last season out developed into a strong player in the closing games of the year. Francis. right end. Is a powerful player ana one of the best men for this position play ing among the Northwest colleges. Back of the line half the men o. Booth, the veteran quarterback and splendid place kicker, has graduated. this being a heavy loss to tne team, ami Cummings, the half-back, will also be missing. . McRae at full and Ersklne. halfback, will be tne two oio men in the back field. McRae is a strong, ex perienced player, while Erskine Is get ting better all the time and with this season's added experience should be better than ever. Paul Homan. cantain-elect of the 191.1 baseball team, will make a strong bid to? a Varsity end or backfield posi tion. Homan Is a star athlete, being one of the best all-around men In the college. Stearns, of last years second team. will try for the first eleven at a half back position, as will Hepp. of MII waukle, who showed up cleverly at the close of last season. Rowland to Try Again. Rowland, who was tried out in sev eral games last year, will again at tempt to land a placer on the first team's squad. Vanderwert. Day and McCain will all turn out and hustle for a tackle or guard position. As all are heavy, strong, willing workers their cnance for first choice is good. It has been years since old Wil lamette has opened a season facing such a shortage of men as will be en countered this Fall, but the college spirit is nftw strong at the old school and all will work the harder for rea son of the many places to be filled. As the College of Liberal Arts will not open until September 26. the law. medical and other departments October 8, the team will be late in developing, but will be In shape for the University of Puget Pound and Montana games that come late in the season. The schedule will be a hard one and Includes such teams as the Alumni, University- of Oregon. Chemawa, Pa cific, Muitnomah, University of Puget Sound. The most interesting game from a Willamette standpoint will be the Thanksgiving Day game in Salem with the State University of Montana. Two other games will probably be ar ranged, thus giving the Willamette team a busy season. For the first time In years Willam ette and the Oregon Agricultural Col lege fail to meet upon the gridiron. Coach Dolan of the Corvallis institu tion substituting Mount Angel College instead. It Is believed here In football circles that the new rules will assist the larger Northwest colleges to run heavier scores against their weaker ri vals than in the past. Willamette was well pleased with the old rules and re grets the changes made. SANTA CLAUS SHIP COMES Soldiers of Tin and Cannen of Lead to Gladden Children. LOS ANGELES, Aug. 17. (Special.) Carrying 20,000 fully armed forehgn soldiers, 10,000 horses, 10,000 cannon and an enormous amount of smaller pieces of ordnance, the Politician, the biggest ship' of the Harrison line. Is bearing down upon the Pacific Coast and. will land its burden here and in San Francisco. It is true that the alien troops are maile of tin, the horses of wood and the cannon of lead, but to 100.000 chil dren of the Pacific Coast cities who will find parts of the Invading army in their stockings next Christmas, her advent is all the more significant on that account. For the first time In the history of Christmas, the holiday toys for San Francisco and a large part of the Coast are coming all the way from Europe by water, the great Santa Claus ship clearing straight from Antwerp with her burden of millions of toys. The total weight of the Politician's cargo is 14,000 tons and the actual number of Christmas gifts she carries Is beyond the estimate even of a de partment store buyer. The big boat is practically new and this Is her first visit to Western waters, though hence forth she will ply Tegularly between this Coast and Europe. She will touch at San Pedro tomorrow afternoon and will proceed north early next week. Baseball Statistics .American Leapue. W T.. Pet.l W. L.

PUGILISTIC WEEK P00& ONE Ono-Kound Hogan, Threatened With Pneumonia. Compelled to Cull Off Bout Jim Flynn Benches San Francisco for Training. BY HARRY B. SMITH. SAN FRANCISCO. Cal.. Aug. 17. (Special.) The week that promised so well for pugilistic attractions didn'l finish up as per schedule. In the first mill of the week, the ten-round bout between Frankle Burns and Danny O'Brien of Portland, the Northern boy was no match for the experienced Oaklander and It had to b stopped in the seventh round. O'Brien showed remarkable speed tot two rounds and held Frankle even, la the third and fourth. Burns' punches to the body raised havoc with him and he was a mighty sick lad ana looked to have had enough. In some fashion he stalled through the fifth and made a flashy showing in the sixth, but that last work was too much for him and he didn't stay long after the seventh had commenced. Www The premier four-round bout between Willie Itltchie and One-Round Hogar set for Friday night, had to be called off because Hogan caught cold anri was threatened with pneumonia II appears that Hogan went out to tin ater the first of the week witn lus manager. In consequence it seems Hogan had to remain in bed tor a couple of days and call a physician. Much to the regret or Kitcnie, wi'.e was to have received iuuu ior nu end, there was nothing for the promo ter to do but to call It quits. Frankle Burns was offered the chance to sub stitute for Hogan. but declined, on the ground that he would not have time in which to condition himself foi the match. Although no action has been taken as yet, the chances are that Coffroth will arrange a 20-round bout with Ritchie as one of the men and eithet Hogan or Burns as the other for Ad mission Day. There Is no question but that Ritchie will prove a stroni? drawing card. The San Francisco boy has a good Idea of his own worth and says he will not fight 20 rounds fot less than a guarantee of $2500 with the privilege of taking a percentage ol the receipts. Just at present corirom thinks that Is too much money to of fer him. but perhaps he will makt some sort of arrangements. Sunshine Jim had been talking of th possibility of matching Johnny Kll bane with Abe Attell for September 9. The latest from the East, 'however, It to the effect that Kilbano will box ten rounds in New York with Johnny Dun dee on September 4 and that he will receive $2500 for his end. That Is fully as much money as Coffroth would car to eive him. so. naturally, there is no chance to land the featherweight cham pion just at the present time. Jim Flynn. the fighting fireman of Pueblo, Colorado, who is to battle 2 rounds with. Charlie Miller on I.aboi Day. September 2, reached San Fran cisco the first of the week and nas taken up training quarters at the Sea. Rock House, where Jack Johnson, ol late years, has done all his training for his local matches. Flynn wanted to go to Billy Shan non's place In San Rafael but on hit arrival he discovered that gymnasium had been pre-empted by Miller. Flynn Oooks to weigh around the 200 pounds that he claims fot--hlmself. lit still "declares that he was robbed when Captain of State Police Fournoff stepped into the I.as Vegas ring and stormed the bout. "The story that I have drawn th color line," said Flynn, "is all bosh and nonsense. I was so discouraged he--' cause of the treatment I received at Las Vegas that 1 thought seriouslj of quitting the game for all time. Bui my friends have coaxed me bBck and now what I want is another crack al Johnson, only in some other state than New Mexico. I didn't say that I can outbox him for I consider Jack Johnson the greatest boxer I have evr seen but I do think that I can make him quit. He'hasn't the fighting spirit and I can show him- up. "What I will do after the Millet fight hasn't been determined. That all rests with Ciirley and he hasn't an nounced his plans. I suppose that 1 will go on meeting the available heavy weights, all the time preparing mysell for Johnson. If he will give me an other chance, which I doubt." Miller, as the fans in the Northwest probably know. Is a local product, whe has been In the four-round game fot several years. He is a big lumbering ehan but he has been winning hi! matches with remarkable consistency the last two years and that Is why h wants to take a flyer Into high soci ety. Not many of the wiseacres think that he will win but at the same tim there is no telling. He will, have 8 slight pull in the weights over Flynn which may help his hold on the sav age onslaughts of the Colorado man. Tommv Burns' efforts to bring him self back Into the limelight are rathel laughable. For Instance. take that match of his In Calgary with Bill Rick ard. It doubtless created a profound impression, when as a matter of fact it was nothing more than a case ol planting a man. Some ten or 1 2 years ago. when f-arrt Berger was an amateur in S.m Fran cisco, he knocked out this same Bi'l Rlckard In SO seconds. And Bercei was roasted to a turn by the critics because ho insisted upon picking ur easy marks. Rlckard can't very well have improved in all this time, so you can judge for yourself for Just liiw much trie Burns victory counts. DISPUTE MAItS AQUATIC RACE Power-Boal Owner Claims $22,O0C .
