MORGAN GREATEST
1MKGEDH ATHLETE
Frank Watkins Picks Bes
Track Team of All Time
of Multnomah Club.
KELLY IN THREE EVENTS
Wonderful AII-Around Man, Ed E.
Morgan, Waj Back In '90s Has
Marks Worthy of Great Per
formers of Present Day.
In the 22 years of its existence the
Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club has
had enrolled among its standard-bear
ers some of the most remarkable ath
letes in the annals of sport. Yet,
though it is quite some task to plaster
the sobriquet "greatest athlete of them
all" across the brow of any one of that
fcorde of ever-changing" prodigies, Ed
ward E. Morgan has been awarded the
pre-eminence by Frank E. Watkins,
himself a famous winged -I athlete.
Morgan, who is thus classed as the
greatest all-around star in the history
of the blpr Portland organization, per
formed for the scarle' and white in
the seasons of 1894 to 1S99, inclusive
He was a wonder on the traclc ano
field, played half and full back on the
Multnomah football eleven in 1894
caught and held down first base for the
baseball team in 1894. 1896 and 1897
and was also a very clever boxer, al
though not up to Joe Smith's caliber.
Morgan's Marks Excellent.
Champion Morgan's track and field
records are excellent even for the
present-day star, and. In the light of
the progress made In track and field
athletics within the past 18 years, most
remarkable. They are as follows:
100-yard dash, 10 1-5 seconds: 220
yard dash. 23 seconds: 440-yard dash.
63 seconds; 120-yard high hurdles,
16 2-6 seconds: 220-yard hurdles, 26 sec
onds; 16-pound hammer, 125 feet; 16
pound shot. 39 feet; broad jump, 20
' feet: high Jump, 5 feet, 9 inches; pole
vault. 10 feet, 6 inches: 8S0-yard run,
2 minutes, 12 seconds; mile run, 6 min
utes, 2 seconds.
Morgan was a Portland boy and
. now living on Oakhllt farm In Yamhill
County.
"To my mind, Morgan was in a class
by himself for all-around athletics.
said Mr. Watkins yesterday, as he put
the finishing- touches on a compua
tion of the best records made by Mult
nomah athletes since the organization
of the club. "One of his greatest feats
was defeating Patterscn, Coast hurdle
champion. In a dual meet with the
Olympic. Club, of San Francisco, on
Multnomah Field. He took both events
and later. In 1898. entered Stanford
University, where he defeated such
men as Cheek and Bakewell.
"Morgan was 5 feet. It Inches tall
and stripped only 160 pounds."
Kerrigan's Feats Marvelous.
Mr. Watkins characterizes the high
jumping of Bert Kerrigan In 1905 as
the most spectacular feat in club his
tory. Kerrigan, although only 6 feet,
4 inches tall. high-Jumped 6 feet. 2
inches In 1896. and then, nine years
later, at the Lewis r.nd Clark Fair,
came back and leaped the bar at t
feet, 1 hi Inches, nearly ten Inches
higher than his head. He weighed only
119 pounds.
A resume of past Multnomah athletic
wlsardry uncovers vast stor--of In
teresting facts and-f-h?sr""The great
est Individual champions in the dif
ferent events as compiled by Mr. Wat
kins are as follows:
190-yard dash Dan Kelly, world's
champion. Time. 9 3-5 seconds.
220-yard dash Dan Kelly and Oliver
Huston. Time, 21 1-5 seconds.

Records Not Clnb Marks.
"The above records were not all made
under Multnomah colors, but the sta
tistics represent the best marks made
by athletes who competed for the club
at various times." said Mr. Watkins.
"One of the famous old-timer athletes
was B'M Tallant," he added, surveying
the tabulation. "As far back as 1S96
Bill defeated the Coat champion miler,
Dave Brown, of the Olympic Club. In a
dual meet, taking both the S80 and the
mile, the latter !n 4:31 1-5. Tallant
wa never pushed in the mile, and I
believe he was a better man than Wal
ter McC'ure. present Coast tltleholder
at 4:t4 1-5."
Tal'ant Is. In the cannery business at
Astoria.
Oliver Huston, the grent Oregon
athlete, was another wonderful per
former for the winged "M." Huston,
who Is a Portland hoy. son of S. B.
Huston, ran the l"0-yard dash five
times In two weeks In 110 and every

ALFRED SCHILT, who played a sen

he Lincoln baseball team last year,
will be back in uniform next season.
Ted Graves, former Spokane High

The Hill Military losos one of Its
best athletes In D. G. Gordon, who
graduated from the school last term.
During the time Gordon was at school
ie received six letters, three for foot
ball, two for baseball and one for
rack. Besides being a good athlete he
s a cue expert of ability. In a hanai-
ap pool tournament held at the acad-
my recently he carried off the gold
medal donated by Joseph Hill to the
.vinner. Gordon will leave aext week
or Grand Junction, Colo., where he will
oin his relatives.
It looks as though Vincent Borleske
will not only coach the Lincoln foot
ball and basketball teams but also the
track and field team and the baseball
alne next season. Borleske had great
ucccss coaching the Lincoln football
earn last year and judging from the
howlne that is being made by his
basketball team that quintet stands a
ood chance of winning the 1913 lnter-
icholastlc championship.
Skin" Campion, the star Jefferson
football player, may return to Jeffer-
on this coming term. Should Campion
decide upon returning to school he will
n all probability do most of the pitchi
ng on the Jefferson baseball team.
The pitching staff of the 1913 Lin-
oln baseball team should be very
strong. Cook, who halls from Spo
kane, and who Is now a student at
Lincoln, has a record as being a good
wirier. He was offered a try-out with
the Spokane baseball club a few sea
sons ago by Joe Conn,' but wanted to
remain an amateur.
'I believe that Clarence Hendrick-
son, of the Jefferson basketball team.
s one of the best guards In the league,''
aid A. M. Grilley, official referee of
he Portland Interscholastic Basketball
League, following the game between
the Jefferson and Lincoln teams last
Friday. "He played a great game
against Lincoln."
The crucial basketball game of the
Portland Interscholastic League will be
ayed Friday, when the Lincoln and
Washington basKetball quintets will
battle. The winner of this game can
be looked upon as the quintet that wilj
win the 1913 championship, save for
some unexpected defeat.
The Columbia University and the
Portland Academy basketball teams
111 play Tuesday. The game probable
ill be played on the Portland Acad
emy floor.
The Portland Interscholastic soccer
football schedule calls for a game be
tween the Washington eleven, present
leader of the league, and the Jefferson
team, which the runner-up, to be
played Thursday on the Jefferson
grounds.

not be allowed to compete with the
amateurs they will shoot for record
scores on the targets. Besides putting
up cash prizes, the Portland Gun dub
has appropriated money for a number
of silver trophies.
"I look for more than 100 trap shoot
ers from all parts of the Northwest as
well as California to compete for hon
ors." said J. E. Cullison. president of
the club, yesterday.
"The fact that the Interstate Trap
Shooting Association lias co-operated
with our club in giving cash prizes ag
gregating more than 1300 should draw
a number of crack shots to Portland.
- "Other Northwest trap-shooting tour-
natr.ents which will be held shortly fol
lowing our meet is another reason for
thinking that a large number of men
will take part In the Portland shoot.-
On May 11, the day previous to the
opening of the tournament, tne lienton
grounds will be open to all shooters for
holding practice.
It was decided by the club directors
to have the grounds open daily, begin

Standing or Sport, at Washington
University Uncertain.
UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON,
Seattle, Wash, Feb. 7. (Special.) The
absence of Ira Courtney, captain-elect
of the University of Washington track
team, and the apparent lack of interest
nere places the cinder sport in rather
an uncertain standing this year. There
are many in school this year who have
won their letters, but it Is not certain
as yet who will present themselves at
the first turnout.
.Track Coach Dr. D. C. Hall expects
to issue a call early this month for
turnouts, to prepare for the Spring
events.
Under the dfrection of Jimmie Clark,
formerly the star varsity twirler, ini
tial baseball turnouts will be made
goon, with prospects for a team .which
will measure favorably with that of
1912. There will be several vacancies,
but they probably will be filled by men
who have formerly won distinction on
the diamond.
The prospect of a tour of the Orient
in reciprocation for the campaigns
made by the colleges of Japan, is fa
vorable, and interest in baseball this ,
year will be unusually keen, especially I

The Oregon state championship
bowling tournament will be held in
Portland early in March, according to
the announcement of J, W. Blaney, who
will open a set of alleys in Oregon

With Vancouver, B. C, planning to
stage a Nortuwest tenpin affair in
March, B'.aney expected to postpone the
state title ttruggles until April, but
the British Columbians switched from
jlarch to April, and the Oregon com
petitions will precede those of the
Canadians.
The matter of prizes has not been de

ferings will be attractive enousrh to
draw the best boulers of the state to
Portland. While Jie tourney is styled

Vancouver and oiher Washington
towns are expected to compete with
the Oregon cracks.
The Dwight-Edwards five assumed
the leadership In the City League last
week, but to do this It was necessary
for Kruse's boys to shatter two team
records of the season in a strenuous
match against the Telegraphers. '
The new leaders took three straight
games from the Telegraphers, hanging
up a new mark of 3072 for three games
and 1047 for one, while the Meier &

BY ROSCOE FAWCETT.
Benny Henderson, that human shut
tlecock of baseball. Is to get one mora
.nance. Manager McCredle, of tha
Portland Coast club, transferred Hen- :
derson to Tnledo. of the American As
sociation, yesterday, j-ist as he an
nounced he would do a fortnight ago,
A lien he "communicated with the Mud
Hens to see if they could use him.
TI.e handsome, big fellow is unques
tionably one of the greatest minor
iear.:e twlrlers in the business today.
Ben was a b e cog in Portland's
1090 lennant-wiuning team, and then,
after an absence of four years, during
Ahich time he had the outlaw brand
reared acrops his brow for failure to
report to Cleveland, Benny returned to
organized baseball In lllil and won 21
games for Portland's last pennant-winning
club. He lost only 12 games out
of 33, or had a winning percentage of
.636, or only one-half game behind
oteen and Abies, league leaders.
White Mclita Attract.
But Henderson has the fault so com
mon among those who have honors
heaped upon them. A good fellow him
self, he likes to linger among tha
habitt.es of the lobster palaces along
the sport rfalto. liis love for the white
lights' glare almost cost Portland tho
1S11 pennant, Henderson tailing off tho
water-cart down the home stretch.
Last year Benny started out well, but
became discouraged by the poor sup
port given him and aain hit the high
spots. As a result he has been under
suspension since mid-season of lvl.
Benny is now in the mountains hunt
ing with Jimmy Richardson, 47 miles
east of Oakland.
Benny is feeling fine and In wonder
ful shape." says Richardson In a letter
to the writer. "He has not touched a
drop for three weeks. Ben Is tanned
as brown as a berry and is up each
morning at five bells and out for a
tramp. He leads me a merry chase.
Ben wants a chance with the Beavers.
He. has everything and ought to be a
bear on the mound. 1 never saw him
look better."
Itaiips Falls to Answer,
If the big right-hander takes care
of himself he . ould prove a wonder
for Toledo. Eminent .minorities, who
Hatched his work In 1911. unite In de
claring that he can make good with
any major league club when be Is In
shape. '
No money changed hands in nis saisi
to Toledo, Henderson going to coun
terbalance the purchase prices of some
of the talent Portland has secured
from Toledo, among whom are James.
Derrick, McCormick and Brady.
The onlv member of tne iu misinar
yet to be disposed of is Bill Rapps, tne
stentorian f lrst-sacl;er. McLreaie nas
sent him a contract to nis nome t
tedalla Moabut liapp has not roptiea.
and McCredle says he will suspend him
unless same is received before Alarcn t.
Portland's f ii st game in tne u
training season will he played on Sun
day, March 2, at Vlsalia against the
Visalia club. This aate was "
yesteroay and as a result some of the
Beaver squad will likely be asked to
e.ot n rtnv or two prior to Marcn .
the date set for the official start of the
jireliminarles. V
Several of the Beavers have bee
playing Winter ball, so will be In shapsy
to give the semi-pros a stiff battle,
even though a triile rusty. All the
California contingent, Heilmann, Fltz-'
gerald. Riordan, Cunningham and Pe-
.ers, are in shape to psruciys
row.
