In less than four weeks ice skating
will be added to Portland's amuse

the greatest Ice rink in the world, will
be opened to the public early in Octo
ber. Nearly 100 workmen are busy putting
down the immense network of pipes
which make the ice.
Many thousand feet of pipe are now
laid In parallel lines on the bare
ground. Just as soon as the immense
compressors are instnlled, brine will be
pumped into these lipes. Then thej
will be sprinkled with water, and ai.
each coat freezes more water will b,
added until the desired thickness has
been attained.
As soon as the floor Is ready about a

James Rourke. who traveled several
years with Norval Baptie,' the world's

Rourke is a fancy skater and while
with the champion gave exhibitions all
over the East and Canada. Baptle took
care of the speed and Jumping and
Rourke did the fancy skating.
Multnomah Club will be one of the
organizations to have a team,
O'Rourke, the football star, used to be
a great skater, and he will be apt to
form the nucleus of a team.
The high schools have shown consid
erable interest, and several teams prob
ably will be formed.
The Portland Rowing Club took the
matter up at a recent meeting and Ed
Sammons was appointed to look after
skating. The oarsmen have several
old-time hockey players In the club and
undoubtedly will have a team.

Another pretty race of the pro

Havely and Fred Newell beat out
Llewelyn and Hanson by a, foot. The
two boats were neck antr neck for
over more than half the course, and
the finish brought pandemonium with
every whistle in the vicinity shrieking
Its loudest.
The race for heavyweight fours was
won by a boat in which were seated:

losers were Mathina, Walter Pfaedner,

that order from bow.
The canoe events which were mixed
up with the rowing brought about
some pretty races in which Colly
Wheeler again played a prominent
part. Colly ran away with the singles,
beating out Harry Gammie, V. Ham

two. three and four respectively.
The women's doubles race was won
bv Bessie and Sadie Havely. The next
boat to finish was paddled by Grace
Smldell and Genevieve Keller.
The men's doubles went to Colly
Wheeler and Eddie Humphries; Harry
Gammie and y. Hamlin coming In next.
Bremmer and Edwards got third place.
James Havely paddled the mixed dou

won the event. Genevieve Keller and

The four-paddled race offered many
features. Three boats of four men
entered and the victors were so desir
ous of their places that they took
boats which were too small to handle a
crowd, and two tipped over before
they .were well on their way.
The race was started again, and
Wheeler, Humphries, Edwards and
Bremmer won. Faber, Gammie, Bo

THE Oregon acht Club will have
its final race today over the reg

considerable Interest being shown in
the race for this afternoon, as the

LONGER LIFE LEASE
FOR DEER IS PLAN
Biologist Would Cut August
From Open Season to Con
serve Forest Stock.
SPORTSMEN FAR APART
Some Agree With Official That Need
for Protection Is Great, While
Others Say Animals in Prime
and Hunting Should Be Free.
BY RALPH J. STAEHLI.
Further shortening of the deer sea
son In Oregon has been proposed and
may be acted upon in the next session
of the Legislature.
Deer in Oregon may now be shot
from August 1 until November I, and
State Biologist William L. Finley de
clares that the season ought to be just
one month shorter at the start.
Fire Danger Feared.
With the sportsmen this is a mooted
question. Mr. Finley says:
"Ever since the hunters have taken
to the woods of Oregon in the month
of August, the forest fires have de
stroyed thousands of dollars' worth of
timber each year.
"The sportsmen, as a whole, are not
the men to neglect fires and endanger
the forests through their carelessness.
On the other hand, the majority are
well enough versed in wood lore to be
on the scent for tire danger and have
often prevented the waste of acres of
standing timber.
"But among the careful hunters there
are the careless ones. The hope of a
chance deer also encourages many
camping parties to desert the lowlands
and mountains for the deer country,
usually the heavily forested part of the
state.
"There is no doubt that the fire haz
ards are increased by the early opening
of the deer season."
Deer Become Fewer.
This is one of the reasons why State
Biologist Finley favors a shorter sea
son, taking the month off of the dry
part of the year. It is In fact the great
est, and that which led to Governor,
West's closing the season during the
latter part of August this year.
Another rest M Is that the deer are
getting scarcer and. by cutting off the
one month, the two-fold pumose of deer
and timber conservation might be
served.
Each year the complaint comes from
the sportsmen that the deer are not as
numerous as they should be. Conserva
tion has not always appealed to the
sportsman, but education along these
lines has done much towards leading
the hunters Into the view that con
servation is for the ultimate good, at
least In deer hunting.
Opinion Differs Radically.
It is a question in Oregon whether or
not the deer is at its best in August
Many sportsmen say that it is at Its
prime in this month, while just as many
declare that they should not be hunted
In August at all.
In California the sportsmen have
starred a movement to cut the season
down In all districts to one month.
Others declare that for a period of at
least one or two years the bucks should
not be hunted.
Californians have decided that the
bucks should not be hunted when the
horns are in velvet or late in the sea
son. Then the deer are not worth
bringing in and are easy to get at with
dogs or by stalking.
It's a question that will stand much
argument and before any kind of a
bill is put through there will be lots
of war. But It is certain that there
will be as many who will favor keep
ing this state a game paradise as there
will be those who want to kill the game
off in the next few years.
FANS ARE TIRED OF WAR
MAJORITY OF ROOTERS HOPE FOR
BASEBALL PEACE.
Followers of Major Leagues Are Net
Interested In Winner of Fight
on Ten-Day Clanse.
NEW YORK. Sept. 12. It's about time
that Ban Johnson, John Tener and
Jimmy Gilmore got together in some
quiet corner ana decided that their own
Interests would be served best by end
ing the baseball warfare.
The vast majority of fans are tired of
the baseball war. They prefer peace.
Give It to them and they'll soon be trek
king back to the parks. They deserted

FRONTIER DAYS BOXING AND WRESTLING MEET.
the parks this year not so much because
they have lost their love for the ra-
tional game, but In silent protest
I against the constant mud-slinging that
' the baseball conflict has caused.
I The fans want baseball not baseball
lawsuits. They aren't interested In
those. They don't care much about the
merits of the ten-day clause or the con
tract itself, so long as they are sure of
seeing baseball of seeing the first
class variety that sends the blood cours
ing a bit faster through the veins, that
sends a thrill of delight chasing
through the framework.
The fans aren't vitally Interested
either in whether the Federals win or
whether organised baseball wins. Their
main Interest Is to see baseball perpet
uated as a sport. They have known- for
I years that It is a great commercial
I proposition, but they don't care to have
I all the money-grabbing acts of the
magnates paraded before their eyes, it
revolts them. It doesn't interest.
The fans aren't interested much either
In whether Ban Johnson thinks Jimmy
Gilmore ought to be sent to Siberia for
16,000,000 years, or whether Gilmore
thinks Garry Herrmann isn't half as
nice a fellow as he Is himself. Such
things might have been a bit diverting
for a time, but that time has passed.
They bore and they disgust.
Organized baseball has waged a bit
ter fight against the Feds. And even
the most bitter enemies of the Federals
cannot deny the fact that the "out
laws" have put up a game fight. They
horned Into a situation where even

angels may have feared to tread. They
found the enemy waititig with drawn
clubs and loaded machine guns. But
they waded right In.
It's nearly four months since the
Feds opened their season. It was pre
dicted that they wouldnf last until
May 1 Then the prediction was shitt
ed forward to June 1. The next date
for the blowup was July 1. then July
16. then August 1. But there hasn t
been any detonation.
The Feds have about $5,000,000 at
stake and they aren't going to quit
the battle, especially since they won
out in the important Johnson and Chase
lawsuit. Most of the magnates In the
new league are plentifully supplied
with money. They went Into the new
league proposition with their eyes
open. They knew they wouldn't make
much progress the first year, but they
gambled on the succeeding years. It
looks like a pretty good gamble at that.
There are some magnates within
the confines of organized baseball who
are wise men. In the past two months
they have concluded that peace Is a
much cheaper proposition than war
far. And they are for peace, and are
trying to swing Into line the magnate
who are still keen for warfare.
Most of the organized clubs will lose
money this year. And even if the at
tendance does chirp up next year they
are sure to suffer more losses If war
fare continues, as the Feds are plan
ning a new raid on tne Dig stars. io,
keep these men the organized moguls
will have to oiu nign. iimi mi it n t
cluttering up the payroll with salaries
so huge that they'wlll overbalance the
receipts.
Peace now before the players can gel
many more chances at playing both
ends against the middle for big sal
aries will save the magnates many
thousands of dollars. Or shall It be a
continuation of war that so far has
proven futile and that give little
hope of being ultimately succful?
