INDIANAPOLIS. May 22. Caleb Bragg, the real millionaire of the auto mobile racing game, with $12,000,000 In cold, hard cash to his credit, has signed to pilot Frank Galvin's Peugeot In the next Indianapolis 600-milo race, Galvin being laid up as the result of injuries received when his car over turned in practice recently. Bragg is one of the most famous drivers in the game, having won the 1910 grand prize and numerous other contests. Why he should want to drive s racing car, in view of his tremen dous wealth, is a mystery. As Ralph De I'alma puts it, "If I had as much money , as that chap, I'd wrap myself up in cotton wool and never step off the sidewalk, instead of fooling around with a race car."

BEZDEK'S ERRORS COST GAME Aggie l'aculty Wins on Boots by "Professor" Almost Protested. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene, May 22. Oregon Agricultural College faculty members didn't know whether to let Coach Hugo Bezdek. o fthe State University baseoall team, play on the Oregon faculty team against them or not, because Hugo is a, real profes sional. They finally consented and are glad of it tonight. Besdek's numerous errors he missed every fielding chance which came his way cost Oregon the game, the Corvallis faculty members proving the better mud-larks. The con test was staged between showers, the Aggie professors winning 19 to 5. Oregon led in the second frame when four runs were amassed, but the visitors came from behind and registered six times in the fifth. From then on they were never headed. Aside from the comic opera play by Bezdek, who was as weak a sister at the bat as in the field, the game was featured by the rainbow soccer uniform in which Colin V. Dyment of the Ore gon faculty appeared. Batteries Oregon, Shockley and Gutherlet; Aggies. Horton and Collins. Or,rFIELCDS CAR IS BROKEN Autoist Forced to Give TTp Foreign Racer for Coming- Event.

TWO OTHERS COME FIRST Walter's Indirect" Word From Cleveland Thonght to Be Report From Jndge, Who Had Tele graphed Nephew of Reports. Unless Jack Hendricks, manager of the Indianapolis club in the American Association, and George McBrlde, of the Washington Americans, both turn down the Cleveland offers, Walter Mc Credie, of Portland, will not be urged to go East and assume the manage ment of the American League. This is the information that cpmea from inside sources in Cleveland. In Los Angeles last night Walter Mc Credie said that he had received an "indirect" offer to manage Cleveland. That word "indirect" Just about tells the story. Charley Somers knows Walt er Mack personally and if he wanted Mack to desert his business in Portland he would not be likely to make "in direct" offers. Somers realizes that McCredie could hardly afford to leave Portland with out an enormous financial bait and consequently, it is said, will endeavor to secure either Hendricks or McBrlde. Failing to land either of these men, Somers may finally turn around and attempt to lure McCredie to Cleveland. Mack has refused his offers several times before. Judge McCredie said last night that he had heard not one word from Cleveland except what he saw in the newspapers. "I did telegraph Walter about the reports going around and he may have construed this as an 'in direct' offer," remarked the Portland magnate. PLOT IS BARED SAILOR AND TW O CHINESE t'Al'GHT AND DRlG SEIZED. Man, Golnar Ashore From Vessel With IS Packages, Arrested and Confesses He Is Acting; as Agent. An alleged opium-smuggling plot was broken up yesterday by the Fed eral authorities, when James Flynn, a sailor, and Choy Wong, cook, on the British steamer Crown of Navarre, and Chew Sim, a local Chinese, were ar rested, all charged with having opium In their possession. Flynn and Choy are held in the County Jail to await action by the grand Jury, both having waived a hearing before United States Commissioner Frederick H. Drake yes terday, while Chew was released on 1500 bail. The Chinese cook on the steamer and a Chinese' fireman sought to dis pose of a quantity of opium to the local Chinese colony and used Flynn as ths go-between, it is charged. He carried letters arranging the sale of 18 tins of the drug, but was caught by custom-house authorities when he came ashore from the steamer at Al bina Dock with 18 packages of opium concealed on his person. 11. F. Mc Grath, Deputy Collector of Customs, and Assistant United States District Attorney Rankin secured a confession from Flynn that he was acting as agent for Choy. After this discovery and the seizure of Flynn and Choy, Chew Elm ap peared at the dock and asked for the chief Chinese fireman. When searched 8im was found to have almost $S00 in coin and a sample of opium. It had been arranged, it was said, that Sim was to purchase 120 tins of opium from the fireman at S18 a can. Care ful search of the vessel, however, failed to reveal the 120 tins, and it is thought the stuff was thrown into the river. Sim was indicted by the grand Jury in May. 1904. for having 65 cans of opium in his possession, plead guilty and was sentenced to serve 30 days In jail and pay a fine of $1000. He remained in jail in lieu of paying the money. DR. SOMMER CANDIDATE MEMBER OF SCHOOL BOARD IS TO SEEK RE-ELECTION. Selection of Teachers by Civil Serv ice System Favored and Econ omy Is Pledged.

Recommendation of District Attoraey'a Office Rejected for Frar of Infringement Sulla. The names of patented pavements will not be left out of the Hpe.'itic-ations to be adopted by Multnomah County. In plte of the recommendation of Deputy District Attorney Murphy. Toe Hoard of County Commissioners yesterday morning unanimously turned down Mr. Murphy's recommendation and ruled that the patent names should be left in the document. Mr. Murphy's recommendations were to eliminate the names bitulithic and hassam from the specifications. Tl.es; hal been written In parenthesis as "commonly known as hassam, " or "com" moniy known as bitulithic." "The use of these names tends to involve the county In litigation, and affords it no advantage," said Mr. Murphy's letter. He also said that these companies had not yet filed license agreements, and If the name Is used they mlrht charge additional roy alty for the name. On the other hand. It was predicted that If the patent names were left out nf the specifications, some contractor. Ignoring the patents, would have bid and laid the pavement, making the county liable for damages for patent infringement. Chairman Lightner said he did not like to override the recommendations of the District Attorney's office, but In this he considered the incorporation of the patent names in the specifications as advisable. A committee advocating the use of wood block pavement on a section of road between Troutdale and Fairvlew called on the Commissioners yesterday morning. Yesterday afternoon the Commission ers Informally discussed the question of a 10-year maintenance contract, but. it wss said, arrived at no definite con clusions.
