COURSE WILL BE 4 MILES Ase.s Limited to From 9 to 14 Years l'.n tries Now Being Received for Contest All Required to Have Permits l'roni Parents. "Thursday. .Tune 8. at 11 o'clock in the morning, at The Oregonian corner, Kixth and Alder streets." This is the date, the time and the starting point of The Oregonian's roller-skate race to be held for boys in conjunction with the Rose Festival pro gramme. This is the second annual event of its kind In Portland, and the only one on the same order in the United States. The first entry blank for the roller Marathon appears today, and additional ones will appear every other day or so TOIRSE OF THE OBF.GOXIAS ROLLER SKATE MARATHOM. Start at Sixth and Alder.

It Is the wish of the Roller Skate Marathon Editor to get two or three" boys from every grammar school in the city to enter. Valuable Prlaea Offered. Valuable prizes will go to the win ners. Gold watches and other trophies will be among the prizes. They will be announced within a few days. Other information as to how the race will be run will be published in The, Oregonian from time to time. The only restrictions placed on the event is the age and weight limit. In order to make competition as even as possible it has been found advisable to set the age limit for the1 contestants between 9 and 14 years. That is, no boy younger than 9 nor older than 14 can participate. To enter the race a contestant must weigh 125 pounds or less and must have the consent of his parents. The greatest of care was taken in selecting the time for the race. Last year 5 o'clock in the afternoon was se lected. Parades interfered with the contest at that hour, and there was so much hustle downtown at that hour that the police could not keep the crowd off of the course. So it was decided to start the lads off at 11 A. M. Every entr must have a written excuse from school given him by his parents also. Coarse to Be Four Miles Long. Last year the course was about three miles long. This year it has been lengthened to about four miles in length. It has few car tracks to cross, and only small grades in all but one or two places. The start and finish will be at The Oregonian corner. A small army of officials will be on hand to see that everything gets off right at the appointed hour, and a flock of automobiles will patrol the course to give aid and assistance to any youngster who may need it. Last year was the first time that any event of this kind was ever held any where, and attracted attention all over the country. It fell into immediate favor. It is a distinct departure from the usual marathons or cross-country races given throughout the country. So, oil up your skates, boys, and fire in the applications to the Roller Skate Marathon Editor. Last year about 75 boys started, and it is expected that at least 200 will answer the starter's pistol shot June 8.

MAY RAISE FLAYER LIMIT Bobby Quinn Says Three Clubs Want IB-Man Rule Abolished. MILWAUKEE. May 6. Efforts have been made in the American Associa tion to raise the player limit to 17 or even 18. Business Manager Bobby Quinn, of Columbus, was in Chicago recently and conferred with President Chivington regarding the matter. Chiv lngton was not enthusiastic over the proposed change. "The Association teams are stronger than ever this year," Quinn said. "For that reason It Is necessary to keep up the standard of playing. Teams cannot provide against accidents with a limit of 16 men. There are few ball clubs that do not hit the hospital some time during the season. . "I understand three other clubs be sides Columbus are anxious to raise the limit. The great trouble is that some of the owners and managers will enter into an agreement to go beyond a certain limit on salary and players, etc., and then the double crossing be gins." FIELD DAY IS NOTABLE SALEM SCHOOL CHILDREN PIT OS SUCCESSFUL EVEST. Track Meets Preceded by Baseball, May day Festival, Folk Dance, and Old-Faahioned Spelling Bee. SALEM. Or.. May 20. (Special.) Plans are afoot to make the Marion County field day in Salem an annual event. The success of last Saturday's gathering in Salem, when more than 1000 children from various districts outside of Salem competed, was enough to open the eyes of the authorities here to the possibilities of Marion County. A big spelling contest, folk dances, baseball by boys' and girls' teams and a track meet helped make the event lively. Winners in the spelling contest were Ida Koenig, of Sublimity, eighth grade; Georgie Albee, Aumsville. seventh grade; Norma Mars, Woodburn, sixth grade; Mary Browne, Aumsville, fifth grade, and Elizabeth Porter, Mill City, fourth grade.

HANDBALL IS LAUDED Miller Declares Game Develops Wind and Reduces Weight. MATCH WILL BE TUESDAY O'Coiinell Will Be Met in Kleventh Street Playhouse by Middleweight Who Has Agreed to Make 148 by 3 o'Clock. Handball is the greatest game in the world to develop the wind and to take off weight, according to Walter Miller, undisputed middleweight wrestling: champion, who meets Eddie O'Connell at the Eleventh-street playhouse next Tuesday night. From all accounts heretofore. Miller Is a middleweight, but has agreed to make 148 pounds at 3 o'clock Tuesday afternoon for O'Connell. He success fully took two falls from the Portland wizard here last February. At that time it was thought that Walter weighed about 157 pounds, against about 148 for O'Connell. In the opinion of many Portland fans, the only real chance O'Connell has of beating Miller is that Miller is weak from making the required poundage. The St. Paul wizard is working dili gently and says that he will make 148 pounds easily at 3 o'clock and take on five pounds more before he crawls on the mat for the contest. This will put him against O'Connell weighing 153 pounds. As the Winged "M" mentor will weigh about 148 pounds, naturally Mil ler will still have an advantage, al though not as big a handicap as he had last February. Miller is one of the best handball players who ever came through Port land, and this is brought out when he occasionally trims Arthur Jones, who was for several years the champion handball player of the Multnomah Ama teur Athletic Club. The St. Paul U-boat admits, however, that Jones is usually too much for him. They have a tilt in the Multnomah Club courts nearly every afternoon and the battles some times wage pretty warm. Miller was paid a high compliment by George L. Moreland, known as the wizard statistician of sport, last week. Moreland publishes a daily sheet known as "Food for Fans." The sheet is put out of Chicago, and Miller was featured on one of them. Walter is acclaimed champion welter weight and middleweight wrestler of the world. A picture accompanies a brief sketch of his career and a half hundred or more of his most important matches are listed. Miller is without question of doubt the world's greatest middleweight grappler and Is considered to be the greatest man who ever held the title. Miller is one of the few grapplers who is past the laurels of being cham pion all over the country. Miller has had over 1000 matches and has never been defeated by a man of'his weight or under it. Beell and Yokel are the only men who hold decisions over him. Walter Just at present calls Billings, Mont., his home, but it was in St. Paul, Minn., where he made his start as a wrestler. His brother went to Billings to go into business, and that is why he has hung around there for the past several months. The St. Paul man Is conceded to be one of the greatest wrestlers the world has ever known at his weight. He sel dom weighs more than 155 pounds and often takes on men weighing 200 pounds and defeats them as easily as if they were his own weight. Miller is confident of giving O'Con nell another beating and is dead sure that he can make the required 148 pounds at 3 o'clock and be strong. From Portland he will go to Jamestown, N. D., to meet George Hull. Kortv-one of the states have state geolo rlsts or similar official..

President Strowger, of the Portland Gun Club, would like to Impress on the minds of the visiting sportsmen the importance of obtaining certifi cates at the time fare is paid for the ticket to Portland. ' As soon as the holder arrives in Portland he should hand the receipt to Frank Templeton, secretary of the Portland Gun Club, and in that event It will ba. possible to secure f are-and-a-third rates on all railroads. . All the Portlanders who attended the annual Oregon state shoot at Albany, Or, last week are high in their praise of the treatment received from the Al bany. Or., Gun Club.
