Sixth and Alder streets. "
This is tho date, the time and the
starting point of The Oregonian's roller
tikato race to be held for kldlets in
conjunction with the Rose Festival pro
gramme. The race is assured.
All arrangements for the holding of
the gala event were closed yesterday
and all that remains is to secure the
duplications of the youngsters who
wish to compete.
A valuable trophy cup, gold, silver
end bronze medals will go to the
youngsters.
Blank to Be Published.
Application blanks, as well as other
Information on how to enter the race
will be published in The Oregonian
from time to time.
The only restriction placed on the
event is the age and weight limit. In
order to make competition us even as
possible it has been found advisable to
tet the age limit for the contestants
between S and 14 years. Both 9 and 14-year-old
youngsters will be allowed to
race if they fulfill the other require
ments. In order to enter the race the con
testant must weigh less than 125
pounds and must have the consent of
his parents. This detail will be worked
out later.
Care Taken In Choosing Time.
The greatest of care was taken in
selecting the time for the race. It was
found that 5 o'clock in the afternoon
would prove the most satisfactory. This
gives the racers the benefit of the cool
ing evening breezes. Karlier in the
afternoon the weather would have been
too warm, and had the race been sched
uled for the morning the children would
have been in school.
The race will follow the floral parade,
which will. take place at 2 o'clock in the
afternoon. Plenty of time will inter
vene between the finish of the parade
and the commencement of the race in
order to enable all to procure places
along the route of the race.
Three-Mlle Course Planned.
The course, which is yet to be se
lected, will be one with the least num
ber of car tracks to cross and the small
eat grades. It will cover approximately
three miles of paved streets, beginning
and finishing at The Oregonian corner.
A small army of officials will be on
hand to see that everything goes off
according to schedule, and a flock of
automobiles will patrol the course to
give aid or assistanco to any youngster
who may need it.
Nothing of this kind has ever been
held, and the plan has fallen'into imme
diate favor of all. It is a distinct de
parture from the usual marathons or
cross-country races given throughout
the country.
Sight to Re Remembered.
The novel sight of hundreds of
youngsters paddling through , the
streets on roller skates will bo one that
Rose Festival visitors will long remem
ber. From indications the race prom
ises to rival the far-famed electric
pageant for popularity.
All dangers will bo eliminated during
the race. The streets upon which the
course will be laid will be patrolled by
the police in the same manner as for
the parades.
The city officials have all been inter
viewed on the subject and have prom
ised hearty support.
Youngsters with roller skates had
better ha getting them in trim. Those
who haven't a pair of skates and know
how to skate should get busy and have
dad buy the skates, so they will be in'
trim by 5 o'clock on the afternoon of
Thursday, Juno 10.

NIGHT SHOOT LIKELY
Portland Gun Club Considers
Moonlight Event.
NORTHWEST MEET IS FIRST
Officials Are Busy Making Arrange
ments and Special Contests Are
Expected to Be Added Prizes
of Cash Are Increased.
Something new in the way Of trap
shooting is receiving deep considera
tion by the officers of the .Portland
Gun Club and if everything goes all
right a moonlight shoot, such as has
been etaged several times in the East,
will be forthcoming at the.Jenne Sta
tion grounds some time after the com
ing Northwest shoot, scheduled for
June 6. 7, and 9 in Portland.
Nothing definite has been decided as
yet in regard to the novel affair be
cause President H. R. Everding has his
hands full arranging the many de
tails for the Northwest trapshooting
tourney. Final work on the programme
for the shoot next month will be com
pleted this week.
The Portland Gun Club is credited
with having the best shooting facili
ties and location of any club west of
the Rocky Mountains and everything
is being done to make the coming at
traction well worth attending. Super
intendent Matthews has been looking
after the grounds, and from all accounts
it will be made as attractive as possible.
Special Events Considered.
A. W. Strowger, vice-president of the
Portland Gun Club, has been conferring
with President Everding about some
thing special for the events. Mr. Strow
ger made a business trip to Seattle last
week and invited the Seattle Gun Club.
Many new shooters turn out each
week at the ' Portland Gun Club
grounds. Because of the Celilo Canal
celebration, no midweek shoot was
held last week, but plans are being
made to have several members out
next Wednesday.
At the recent Oregon State shoot, in
which Lou Rayburn won the main
event, entitling him to represent Ore
gon at the grand American handicap
tournament in Chicago this Fall, a
squad of women contested for honors.
This was an added feature to the affair,
and President Everding hopes to have
even more competing in the Northwest
tournament.
The attendance at the recent Oregon
State shoot held at the local club's
grounds in April broke all previous
records, and now it is the desire of
the officials to surpass all marks for
the Northwest shoot. As an attraction
for the events June 6, 7. 8 and 9, a total
of $800 cash, to be added to purses, as
well as $2500 in trophies, will be award
ed to the various winners.
Rose Festival Aids Puree.
A special event, to be known as the
Rose Festival match, will have an add
ed $30, given by the Rose Festival As
sociation. This affair will take place
v a
.These are some of the fair devotees of the trapshooting game who make frequent trips to the Portland Gun Club grounds at Jenne Station. With
out a doubt President H. R. Everding, of the club, will have their entry blanks for the coming Northwest shoot in Portland June 7, 8 and 9. This squad
is capable of smashing as many blue rocks as some of the quintets seen h ooting at the Jenne Station traps.

on the last day of the ehoot, for it is
the first day of the annual Rose Festi
val celebration.
Frank M. Troeh, of "Vancouver, was
In Portland Friday and expressed his
confidence of winning the Washington
State shoot in Seattle this week. He
is considered one of the best amateurs
smashing bluerocks in the Northwest,
and his mark of breaking more than
any other amateur In the Oregon shoot
will attest for it.
Several delegates from the Portland
Gun Club are considering the matter
of attending the Washington annual
meet in Seattle in hopes of attracting
some of the nimrods to the Northwest
gathering in Portland. Those who in
tend going will leave here tonight or
tomorrow. '
Pete Holohan, one of the. well-known
professionals of Portland, attended the
Lake shoot in Spokane last week. The
contestants journeyed out on the lake
on a big barge. Holohan is in Seattle
and will remain there until the state
shoot is completed.
COLLEGE MEET IS REVIVED

dents and will mean much for better
athletics in the Inland Empire. The

OREGON COME-BACK DUE
PLAYERS SHIFTED AND ALL ARE
KEPT HARD AT WORK.
Besdek Thinks Boys Look Better and
Hopes Hard Lack la Over 'o Mur
mur Is Heard Front Athletes. .
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene,
May 8. (Special.) There has bVen no
rest for the Oregon baseball squad
since a week ago. when it- received the
heartiest drubbing ever given by the
Oregon Aggies. From 3 o'clock in the
afternoon until the shadows grow long
Hugo Bezdek and his players work in
an attempt to recover lost ground.
The boys need the practice and they
are taking it all without a murmur.
Oregon Is due for a mighty come
back. Is the general opinion here.
The team doesn't look the same as
a week ago. There is a new thirdbase
man, a new shortstop, a new catcher,
a new outfielder and a new pitcher.
It was the biggest change Coach Bez
dek ever made.
Cornell once more cuts off hits at
shortstop: Skeeter" Blgbee, still limp
ing from a sprained ankle, stabs the
fast ones at third; Huntington is look
ing good at second: Lyle Blgbee is
pitching again; Grebe has been rele
gated to the field, while "Bunny" Phil
bin has the making of a good catcher.
'It took a lot of nerve to attempt a
shift like that in mid-season," said
Bezdek. "The boys certainly look bet
ter than they did and some of our hard
luck may be attributed to the fact that
the men were in their wrong positions."
Today's game with Willamette shows
the new strength of the rejuvenated
varsity and the two remaining prac
tice days will be given to the last pol
ishing off pr.ocess and then Oregon is
prepared to meet Dobie with an entire
ly strange team.
Baseball Brevities
John McGraw seems to have sewed
himself up into a nice little trap that
will do him considerable harm before
he can make his getaway. When the
Federal League was grabbing players
right and left McGraw signed his stars
up to a long-term contract. Now the
National League has cut the player
limit to 21 men, McGraw has 17 signed
up and ten of them ha"ve flunked miser
ably this season. He can't go out and
grab a lot of new material on account
of the limit rule and - will have to
make the best of it.
Grantland Rise points out that the
limit rule willcost the National League
money, instead of saving it as was the
intention of magnates. He points out
that the crowds at the Polo grounds
will grow mighty slim with the Giants
down in the race, and slim crowds
mean smaller dividends for not only
the Giants but the other clubs as well
New York always has been a money
making town for the visiting team.
There Is a great deal of difference
OU ARE, THEY WONT SHOOT YOU.
I -if
M r S . jTT. Zjr
A m
between the batting averages of the
players on May 9 and October 9. ,
The Giants seem most to need good
twiners.
,
Jack Fournier, the Tacoraa boy,
playing first for the White Sox, is
doing great.
Pitcher Loudermilk is some pitcher
at tne right temperature, but has
tendency to get sour when it's hot, so
say reports.
Marty O Toole, now pitching for
Columbus in the American Association,
still must think he is a big leaguer.
He recently beat up a streetcar motor
man. This was a rank imitation of
Ainsworth s feet, the only difference be
ing uie wasmngion catcner beat up
a conductor and had help to do it.
Managers everywhere report that the
players are working harder than usual
this season. This -Is not unnatural
when they began to have visions of
working at $2-a-day jobs instead of
grabbing off a little easy money in
tne .National pastime.
Damon Runyon, the New York base
ball expert, believes that Grover Alex
ander and Walter Johnson are the two
greatest pitchers in the game at the
present time. He credits Alexander
with being equal if not better than
Johnson. ' .

Oet-iaion Causes Withdrawal.
Considerable agitation has been
stirred in local circles because of th"
decision of the Pacific International
Power Boat Association In the Wastrel
Baby Bell case. A.s a result, the Port
land Motorboat Club has withdrawn
from the organization and yesterday
George J Kelly, secretary of the local
club, sent an official notice of the
resignation to the Seattle office.
The controversy resulted from the
outcome of the race between the two
boats at the Artoria regatta last year.
The Portland Motorboat Club entry.
Baby Bell. 'had the race taken away
from it by the directors of the asso
ciation. The decision wan wppealed t
the board of appeal, but the original
decision was affirmed.
Considering the decision unfair and
unjust to the local entry snd feellnir
that for the betterment of the Portland
Motorboat Club members and the pro
motion of the sport, the club severed
its connections with the association.
