Portland Gun Club to Stage
Northwest Contest at Its
Grounds Next Month.
LAST EVENT RECORD ONE
Efforts to Bo Put Forth to MaVe
Coming: Affair Even Greater Suc
cess and Slany Out-of-State
Men Are to Compete.
During: the two-day shoot of the an
nual Oregon State Trapshooters' Asso
ciation tournament held at the Jenne
station traps of the Portland Gun Club
last Monday and Tuesday. 65 shooters
competed. This establishes a new at
tendance record for the meet.
President H. R. Everding. of the Port
land Gun Club, is greatly pleased as a
result of the success of the tourney, and
Is putting- forth all his efforts to make
the coming Northwest shoot to be
staged at the Portland Gun Club
grounds June 6, 7, 8 and 9. an even
greater gathering than the recent one.
For the most part the scores made
at the tourney last week were excep
tionally high, all things being taken
Into consideration.
1.. M. Held Leads Professionals.
Among the professionals L. H. Reid,
of Seattle, proved to be the best, hav
ing scored 431 out of a possible 450.
P. J. Holohan, of Portland; another
professional, was only two bluerocks
behind the Seattle man.
Frank Troeh, of Vancouver, Wash,
showed his superiority over the Oregon
amateurs by smashing 426 bluerocks
out of & possible 450. The first Port
land man to show up in the final scores
for the shoot is Pete H. O'Brien, with
a record of 412 broken out of 450 shot
at. L. Rayburn, who won the main
event, and is thereby entitled to repre
aent the State of Oregon at the grand
American handicap affair at Chicago
this Fall, was 23d on the list. He broke
8 out of 100 in the final match.
James Seavey Gets Watch.
The Honeyman trophy was won by
Zr. O. ID. Thornton, of Portland, and
James W. Seavey, of Eugene, won the
"watch for the high run of the meeting,
as well 83 the timepiece donated foi
the high score at Monday's shooting.
The gallery which witnessed the con
tests was almost ta large as that at the
Pacific Coast handicap. Exceptional
Interest was shown because of the large
number of new shooters who made bet
ter scores than some of those who had
been competing for some time. Many
cf-the shooters present were getting
In condition for the banner shoot of the
Pacific Northwest which is to be held
in Portland next month.
Because the last day of the North
west shoot will be the first day of the
annual Rose Festival, the Rose Festi
val Association has donated $50 to be
used as a special prize to the contest
ants. The event will be known as the
Rose Festival 50 or 100-bird event.
Merlins to Be Held.
President Everding has not completed
the programme, but he has called a
meeting of tlie secretary and cashier
to be held this week. Complete ar
rangements will be made as early as
possible so that there will bo plenty of
time to notify the shooters.
H. H. Veatch, of Cottage Grove, was
elected president of the Oregon State
Trapshooting Association at the annual
meeting in Portland Monday night. He
succeeds Henry F. VVihlon. of Gresham,
who also was the Oregon delegate at
the grand American handicap at Day
ton, O.. in 1914.
Last week's shoot was of more in
terest to Oregon sportsmen, and many
shooters from out of the state were not
on hand. Word has been sent to the
local club, however, that delegations
from many clubs of both Oregon and
Washington will be on hand next month
to try for prizes.

on the Pacific Coast, and will, of
course, visit both expositions.
Mr. Benson feels that he is in a ter

NORTHWEST MEET NEAR A v J-lPW
NOTED ATHLETES TO COMPETE IX
PORTLAND NEXT MONTH.
Ustherlna; Is to Be I'nder Auspices of
Multnomaa (lab and Rose Festival.
Three States to Be Represented. -
What promises to be the greatest
assemblage of athletes ever brought
together in this part of the country
will be held in Portland next month,
when the Pacific Northwest Associa
tion annual track and field meet and
tryouts for the Far Western champion
ships will take place on Multnomah
Field. The gathering has been set for
June 11. Manager Hawkins, of the
Multnomah Club, announced last night
that he would begin to sendout his
entry blanks this week.
The meeting will be held under the
auspices of the Multnomah Club and
the Rose festival Association, with a
special event known as the Rose Fes
tival five-mile modified marathon to
be added. This race will take the con
testants, part of the time, over a course
laid out on some of Portland's busy
streets, with the' finish to be made in
front of the grandstand on Multnomah
Field. 1
Inquiries have been sent to Manager
Hawkins relative to the staging of the
meet, and as it is only a little more
than four weeks away, active work In
completing the details will be done this
week. The first entry blanks will be
issued beginning next Wednesday, and
every club in the NorthweEt will be
asked to send delegates.
Almost all the prominent athletes of
all the colleges in Oregon, Washing
ton and Idaho will be on hand. Such
athletes as Gillis, of Vancouver, B. C;
Con Walsh, of Seattle; Beaeley, of Van
couver, B. C: George Phllbrook, of
Multnomah Club, and Sam Bellah, of
Multnomah Club, holder of the world's
indoor record for the pole vault, are
sure to be present to do duty.
Something new in the way of prizes
has been suggested by Manager Haw
kins. Instead of giving the customary
gold medals to first place winners,
gold watches will be substituted. Thio
plan was tried out in the East and
was a big success. Four places in each
event will count and medals will be
given to second and third place win
ners. Several record holders will receive
entry blanks. The winners of the va
rious events are in line to make the
Journey to San Francisco "to compete
in the Far Western track and field
championships of the Panama-Pacific
International Exposition.
"I can see no reason why we shouldn't
have the greatest athletic carnival in
the history of the Northwest June 11
in Portland," said Martin Hawkins,
manager of the affair. "It has received
the official sanction of the Rose Fes
tival Association and will be held on
the last day of the annual event."
L.A GRANDE RACES ARE JTJXE 1 7
Noted Motorcyclists of Northwest
Expected to Participate.
LA GRANDE, Or.. May 1. .Special,)
La Grande's annual motorcycle road
races, carrying a total prize money of
$1000, will be run June 17 on a
rectangular course of more than seven
miles. The La Grande-to-Baker race
has been abandoned this year. Two
miles of the course are slightly hilly
and the reBt level as a floor.
In view of the fact that prize's are
offered for the main event a 800-mile
- i ,
race and because motorcycle riders ol
Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Cali
fornia already have had experiences
with these races, it is anticipated that
many noted racers of the Northwest
will attend. The race comes on Thurs
day in the middle of a great week for
La Grande. The Elks' $60,000 home
will be dedicated that week, the East
ern Oregon blue rock shoot will be
held, and the motorcycle races are to
be staged. .
BOAT DECISION ADVERSE
MOTORBOAT CLUB TO PARTICIPATE
IN CANAL CLEBRATION.
festivities at Oresjon City Nay 22 and
Butteville May 23 Also on Pro
gramme of Activities.
Len Myers, regatta chairman, has
just returned from a meeting of the
Pacific .International Powerboat Asso
ciation at Tacoma. The Portland Motor
boat Club's appeal in the "Baby Bell
Wastrel" case was heard and th-e board
confirmed the decision in favor of the
Wastrel. It is possible that some
further action may be taken in the
matter.
The race In question was run at As
toria during the last regatta, and con
fusion arose among the racing entries
over the drifting of a stake buoy.
Through misunderstanding as to the
running of the proper course by the
"Baby Bell" protest was' entered and
this boat was deprived of the decision
in favor of the Seattle entry.
A circular letter has been sent out
by Commodore Beebe to all the club
members urging all who can do so to
participate in the Dalles-Celilo Canal
celebration. It is proposed to meet the
canal fleet at Vancouver, Wash., at
10 A. M., May 6, to join with the citi
zens of Vancouver in their local cele
bration and proceed to Portland with
the fleet, arriving at 2:80 P. M. Dur
ing the morning also a delegation of
boats will be sent to Oregon City to
attend the celebration at that city, and
these boats, returning, will enter Port
land harbor the same time as the Celilo
fleet.
Oregon City has invited the Motor
boat Club to participate in the celebra
tion of Booster day May 22. It is prob
able that a number of the club's
speediest boats will give an exhibition
of speed runs there.
These boats will be on their way to
Butteville to Join the civic celebration
scheduled for Sunday, May 23. The City
of Butteville has advised the club that
its celebration this year will surpass
anything that the city has yet at
tempted in this line.
Posters have been spread broadcast
over the surrounding country a cir
ASSOCIA-
cus is billed for the town and the
citizens for miles around will attend
the festival. The town will be dec
orated in gala attire and the Motor
boat and Tacht Clubs will be the hon
ored guests. l
Entering into the spirit of "Clean
Up, Paint-Up" day, the members of the
Motorboat Club are getting busy touch
ing up their water craft, painting the
launch-houses and generally sprucing
up.

JESS WiLLARD IS
HELD MISMANAGED
Advisers of Champion Start
Wrong Soon After Fight,
Says Jimmy Britt:
SOME ERRORS ARE CITED
San Francisco Exposition Boxing
Championships Are Expected to
Draw Easterners as Well as
Xortlmest Boys Again.
BI HARRT B. SMITH.
SAN" FRANCISCO, May 1. ((Special.)
James Edward Britt, know to his
familiars as Jimmy, who has been In
our midst on a vaudeville tour, cays
that up to date Jess Willard has been
the most mismanaged pugilist be ever
saw in the upper flights. Jimmy knows
something of what he Is talking about,
for he is a great little publicity secur
er on his own account and he had the
advantage for a long time of his
brother, Willis, who knew the game
from Alpha to Omega.
More than that, Jimmy was on the
same bill with the new heavyweight
champion at Hammerstein's in New
York City and has had a chance, there
fore, to see for himself Just what was
going on.
"There have been more mistakes to
the square inch with Willard than I
thought possible ' to make," explained
Brltt. "First of all, they started to
do the wrong thing in Havana Just
after Willard had won his victory.
His manager or managers came out
with a statement that Jess would not
listen to challenges for a year to come;
that he Intended to make some soft
stage money and all that before haz
arding his ttle. ,
"It couldn't have been worse. Feople
like a fighter for his fights and not
his ability to do things on the stage.
The easy way would have been to ex
plain that Willard was in need of a
short rest before renewing his ring en
gagements, but that soon he would be
prepared to meet all challengers. That
would have kept the boys borrowing
bank rolls to make a showing when
they issued their challenges. It would
have kept interest up to the right pitch.
It would have been cheap advertising
for Jess. '
"So far as fighting is concerned, you
can't make a man fight unless he wants
to, and Willard could have embarked
upon his theatrical work in peace. Now
he will be continually hounded.
"And can you Imagine a fellow who
has been around the boxing game as
long as Tom Jones adopting such tac
tics as he did in New York? He vir
tually made Willard a prisoner, pre
sumably afraid that some one of the
thousands of fans would have a chance
to see the big fellow without paying an
admission fee. Willard would be kept
out of sight during the daytime and
virtually smuggled to his dressing
room. "That may be the new way of han
dling world's champions, but it cer
tainly was not the style when John L.
Sullivan and James J. Corbett were all
the rage. Incidentally, I question
whether it will turn out well in the
long run."
Britt Jumped clear across the conti
nent to open in a local vaudeville
house. He will work around the bay
for two or three weeks and then will
start on an extended trip that will
keep him away from the United States
for a couple of years. Following in the
footseps of Corbett, the San Francisco
boy will go to Australia and plans to
continue as far as India and other out-of-the-way
points.
Incidentally. I want to do away with
the line of reasoning that James Ed
ward was never lightweight champion
of the world. That sort of stuff goes
great in theatrical advertising, even
though there is nothing to back it up.
However painful it. may be to say so,
we can't give Jimmy the crown.
Although the Amateur Athletic Union
National boxing championships were
given to the East rather than to San
Francisco, quite a number of the stars
will be seen in action here. The Ex
position boxing championships are to
be held at the Civic 'Auditorium
Wednesday night, May 5. and already
there has been a liberal entry from
Eastern states.
California, of course, will Tiave its
quota and it is expected that the North
west will compete in spite of the un
pleasantrles that arose over some of
the recent decisions. Quite likely a
new set of Judges will be named, in
order that any possibility of trouble
may be averted.
s
Eddie Camp!, the San Francisco ban
tamweight, who has been in the East
for a couple of years, seems to have
struck a winning gait. Only recently,
in St. Louis, the Califomian won an
eight-round newspaper verdict from
Frankie Burns, of Kansas City, and did
it so handily that every one of the
newspaper critics hanled him the ver
dict. George Engle, who is managing
Campi'a interests, writes that Eddie is
looking for a match with Kid Williams-
for the title.
While he was around these parts,
Campi couldn't seem to do much good

for himself. Now, however, matter
have changed and the little lad may
come in for something good. The only
trouble, as Engle explains. Is that the
small boys of the ring don't draw big
money. Even as champions, they can
not command the guarantees which
have been handed to lightweights and
boys above that class.
ess
New York sporting writers are com
plaining that the new boxing law Is
all wrong. Under the new law the
state will derive a revenue of 7 per
cent instead of 6 per cent of the gross
of all contests. Walter St. Denis, one
of the best-informed of the fistic
writers, says the clubs cannot stand
this tax and that a great many of them
will have to withdraw from the field.
The trouDle is that the stars in the
game are demanding fancy guarantees
and when the bills hav been paid
there is nothing left.
Also, the bill provides that the of-

nntead of in New York City. As 80
per cent of the boxing nhows in tho
Empire State are held In Gotham, it
does seem to be an imposition to force
the promote to make that lonR trip
when they have matters to be taken
up with the powers that be.
Tom Sharkey i apparently hre to
stay. The sailor hcavyweiwht hus pur
chased a cafe and proposes to settle
down for grood. Il is a harnes horse
enthusiast as well as a follower of
boxing and has promised the local
clubs that he will compete in th mat
inee races that are held every Sunday
afternoon during: the Summer. Sharkey
likes to do hfs own driving and, as the
races this year are to be held on the
Exposition track, he will doubtless be
something of an adled attraction.
Iteports continue to come from the
East that Ralph Gruman, the Portland
boy, has been getting- alont nicely
and Is well liked by those f :ina who
are re-rular attendants at the contest.-.
Gruman. so It Kfems, was laid
up for time, but once more he is in
shape. Foley predicts that the North
western lad will make a name for him
self after he has a chance to develop
and lie regrets that he couldn't have
gone along: East with his charge.
