Both Barham and Kenning- are In pink of condition and both Peninsula and Aber- deen will have their hands full. A large crowd Is expected to attend. Etandifer and Foundation cross bats at Vancouver. "Lefty" Bill James, the boy who pitched Foundation Into a championship during: the first half of the season, probably will be on the mound again after a long layoff. Bill has been doing the bench warming for the past four weeks, but his arm seems to be ripe for a "comeback. Harry Cason. however, may change his inlnd at the eleventh hour and rush Southpaw Hube Evans on the mound. Rube is another of those hard-luck pitcher. The big portsider has every thing on the ball a good pitcher should have, but his wlldness proved his un doing on several occasions. With Krause on the suspended list. Standlfer will again rely on "String bean"' Pillett. The Washingtonian has been somewhat of a disappointment lately and has not lived up to the "rep" he made at the opening of his Shipbuilders' career. Since he received his first walloping at the hands of St. Helens he has been pitching Indiffer ent ball. It Is up to the big boy to keep his team in the running and he la going to pitch his hardest to win. . "Ham" McCormlck'e nine will clash with Cornfoot at St. Helens. Should Pearl Casey's men lose again they will be out of the running, as they have lost on three previous occasions. If the Portland team should win they will give the league leaders their first wal loping since the opening of the second half of the season. Oscar Harstad. the Et Helens star who has returned victorious In every game he haa pitched this season, will oppose Southpaw Rapp, of Cornfoots. I jtapp nas also been treated rather harshly lately, but while pitching for " rotuno uucparoos was consid ered one of the best southpaws In the Blewitt circuit. Lack of steady pitch ing Is probably the reason for his poor showing. ft TO . " " :q- ; m : ifi-ii Ch r;rl:C-it A-i v"Tvl i; nt ComP Staedlag, Left Right J, P.

The Rodgers team consists of employes of the George F. Rodgers Company, shipbuilders, and won the pennant In the Lower Columbia Shipbuilders' League this year.

W. T. Cro- ler then took him la hand and started blm In a special event at the Connecti cut Fair, which he won in 2:17K. Last year Sanford Small purchased him out of a race at Windsor, Conn, for f500. He turned him over to Walter Cox. who gave him a record of I:0J at Syra cuse during the New Tork State Fair. e In the first heat of the three-year-old race at Columbus, Joe Serrlll sent The Divorcee after Chestnut Peter, in all probability to learn just how fast the Peter the Great colt could step. He responded with a mils in 1:05 and came back on the next two trips in :04, In one of which Selka got the place and Peter Vonia In the other. mm The following Item shows that the high cost of living is beginning to. lose some of Its terrors for J. Hooker Wll- i son who raced a stable of trotters I and pacers through Pennsylvania a few years ago: "Mr. and Mrs. J. Hooker Wilson, of North Rushville, Ind., boast of a hen which, every morning, scratches at the door for admission. Entering, she sits in a large chair In the living room, lays an egg and walks majestically back to the chicken yard after she has been fed for her courte ous service." The tabulated pedigree of the three-year-old colt, Hollyrood Hob, 2:04. shows that he has a thoroughbred cross through both his sire and dam; Great, being out of Maid of Lexington, Grand Sentinel, the sire, of Peter the whose dam was the thoroughbred mare, Brownlock by Imported Leviathan, while Mystic, his fourth dam.

The State Fish and Game Commission evidently contemplates no extensive enlargement of its hatchery program during the next blennium, according to Its estimate which has been filed with the State Tax Commission. For Dis trict No. 1 it asks for-$20,000, and for District No. 2, $16,000, while salaries and general maintenance will cost $19,000 and another J.jOOO is asked for the completion of the Oregon City fish BT HARRT B. SMITH. AN FRANCISCO, Aug. IT. The boxing game or rather the light lightweight division, has gone topsy turvy again. Just when we thought we had a slant on the local championship, along comes an upset that causes us a lot 6f trouble. It looked as if Jimmy Dundee, the fighting newsboy of Oakland, was the standard bearer and we were all ready to fall down and worship him. But out steps Frankie Farren. defeated and discredited, not once but twice, to put the Indian sign on Dundee. So we're all up In the air Just the same as be fore we started. First It was Farren by virtue of his decisive win over Willie Hoppe who looked so good. Farren well nigh stopped WUlie and we figured he was the whole candy. But Just about that time Jimmy Duffy, of Oakland, made the trip across on a ferry boat, showed up uream land rink one fan night and whipped Farren even though the referee called it a draw which It shouldn't have been. Still the Farrenltes hollered that their boy was the champion. So Harry Pelslnger, Moose Taussig's champion was sent into the ring with Frankie. Pelslnger trounced Farren who looked an exceedingly poor prospect- That gave Pelslnger the spotlight. But Harry dldn t hold the center of the stage for any length of time. In stead he yielded the palm to Jimmy Dundee, who won the honors a couple of weeks back with a close decision. The allies, at a loss for a main card, decided to see what Farren would do in a return match. He surprised the matchmakers and everybody else by almost stopping Du-.dee. Lacky was knocked down and. Indeed, was "lucky" not to be stopped inside the four-round limit. Farren looked a million dollars. He was cool and collected and fought Just the right kind of a fight. He didn't rush In pell mell. but bided his time and used his "one-two" punches to pro duce results. He certalrly accomplished wonders. Dundee was game enough to admit the unqualified beating he took. Fact la Lucky says he Is through with the game for a short time at least. He's cancelled ring engagements in South ern California and has left on a deet hunting trip In Northern California. But tha result has started the folks to studying. It Frankie Farren once more the titleholder or will we have to go through the same old rlgamarola to see Just where we stand? Chances are that is what will have to happen, r . a a . a A lot of young fighters these days are doing altogether too much In the shape of ring-work- Let's take tha ease of George Brandon, of Portland. George went in great shape for several weeks and beat the boys in splendiferous style. Then, all of a sudden, he started to slow down. And llltle wonder when you stop to consider his case. Take this last week as a good example. He boxed on Mon day night at a Mare Island show. Then on Tuesday night he appeared In the shipbuilders' contests at Oakland. Somehow or other he missed the pro gramme at the association club, but came back on Friday night at Dream land. - -. .What was the 'result? Danny Ed wards, a colored boy from Oakland, pounds lighter than Georgie, loosed I rings around htm. Too much of that sort of work certainly is not a good thing for any chap. And the sooner these boys realize as much the better they will be off. a a Marty Farrell claims that the charge from Seattle of his having run out on a benefit match with Mick King is all wrong and intended to hurt him. He affirms that he was signed up for the Emeryville bout before he heard for sure the Seattle thing was on. As a matter of fact, it looks that Marty was dickering for the two matches at one and the same time, with every Intention of accepting the best that came his way. Simpson, of Oak land, seems to have landed first and Farrell accepted transportation. But he says Lonnie Austin, of Seat tie, was slow in letting him know he was wanted in Seattle. Austin assumed that I would go through with the match there no mat ter what other plans I had made, eaLd Marty. "Why, Dan Salt wired down here trying to get the promoters to blacklist me. But it was a misunder standing. "I sent word to the commanding offi cer at Fort Lawton telling him why I couldn't come and that I was sorry for it." Farrell goes further. Says that If they want to put on another benefit for the Fort Lawton athletic fund that he will pay his expenses back to th Northwest and donate his services. But the chances are that Marty's offer is not going to be accepted. The) are sore at him and that about ends It. If Farrell does get back In favor in this section of the country (and he Is still without the good graces of Cap tain Dan O'Brien) it will be through the medium of the next benefit show. Marty has volunteered his services to Jimmy Coffroth for the big Dempsey card and he may land. But he has some explaining to do aa yet. aaa Battling Ortega is likely to return to Butte, Mont., for a fight on Labor day. The promoters in that neck of the woods liked his work against Leo Bens so much that they want it repeated. The proposition now is for a Red Cross show with all the profits over the cost of running the performance and the payment of stipulated sums going to the Red Cross. As yet an opponent has not been se lected. But it looks very much like Soldier Bartfteld. though it is said tTiat Kid Ted Lewis, who made a wretched showing with the Battler in the Emery ville arena some months ac, is still In the running. aaa Kid Lewis, as I presume yon have read, is no longer Connected with Jimmy Johnston. ine Doy Danau uierauy talked himself out of a Job. So far as known Lewis hasn't signed up any new manager, though the chances are tnat some one will be selected to look after his interests. Personally, having seen Lewis, I would enjoy the Lewis-Ortega match But Soldier Bartfield enjoys a good reputation in the East and might go along very well. www Monte Attell. formerly a well-known bantamweight, has returned home. Monte is totally blind and there Is no chance of his recovering his sight. Hit daughter has been educated as a tot dancer on New York stages and is wits Monte. There has been some talk ol a benefit show for the fighter, but 1 doubt whether anything of the sort will be arranged as long as the war continues. , . I LADS UNDER 10 TAKE TWO MEETS SAME DAY. from Lieutenant William Harry Combs I lta estimated receipts would be for the wiiug- iuo news mat .mount AQKei a two years, jwuuKcoi uujuiiiiBaiuunu uiiiUEr una ecu; appointed Instructor at Fort Sill, Okla. Combs received his Lieutenancy at the Presidio last December and from there was sent to Camp Fremont, CaL After remaining there five months he was transferred to Fort Sill, Okla. He writes as follows: "Have been here three months. I have been held as instructor. Am also taking a special course in sapping and bombing. I believe that my two brothers, John and Ray (two Mount Angel alumni) have enlisted, but am not certain." Lieutenant Combs in his first year at Mount Angel made the football eleven. He played with such stars as Greg Pashek, of The Dalles; Charles Simon, of San Francisco, and Ernest Eckerlen, of Salem, Or. , Felix Skonetsky, football and base ball star of 1911-12-12, recently spent a few days visiting the faculty at the college. At the present time he is sta tioned at Camp Lewis. He asserts that he has met many of the Mount Angel alumni at camp. After leaving college he starred for several years on the Mount Angel city baseball nine. I Francis Franciscovich has cast his lot in the Naval Reserve. For the past two years he has been attending Notre Dame , University. He was on the Junior basketball quint at Mount Angel, which for four years tasted no defeat. They completed their fourth year by defeating the fast Jewish boys, of Port land, for the championship of the state, in a 20-to-19 game. Besides holding a regular berth, on the basketball team, Franciscovich played end on the foot ball squad and third base on the col lege nine. It Is difficult to speculate on the com ing athletic season. Several of the members have enlisted, while others have graduated. Hence the football coach has little to say regarding the work of the coming athletes who will kick the "pigskin" in a short time. M'GILLIVRAY IS WINNER GREAT LAKES SWIMMER 100-YARD RECORD.

Newton. Best, May Tour Pacific Coast Again This Season, It Is Believed. BY JAMES J. RICHARDSON. With Manager George Bertz, of the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club football team, issuing his first call for gridiron aspirants desirous of making the Winged M team to report at Mult nomah Field Sunday morning, Septem ber 8, at 10 o'clock, and with other managers about the country making Inquiries as to what the football pros pects, in this vicinity are for the com ing season. It looks as if the follow ers of the pigskin game are destined to witness several good contests that are not as yet scheduled, but in the making. Old Multnomah is going out for the honors this year. The cardinal and white institution expects to be repre sented by a formidable aggregation. While most of last year's material have joined the colors, there are any number of former Eastern and Middle West college football men who have enlist ed in the service and stationed in Van couver and Portland who are more than anxious to Join the Multnomah eleven, which expects to play a very heavy schedule, mostly against service teams In the Northwest and possibly in California. Manager Bertz, In Issuing his call for the first turnout of players, says he has received a number of inquiries from those anxious to make the team requesting that he Issue an early call for practice. The players are anxious to get started. That the Multnomah aggregation has bright prospects in the gridiron fir mament is attested by the fact that Bart Macomber, former University of Illinois halfback and All-American se lection for the position, is with the spruce division in this city and anxious to play with the club. Berts expects no trouble at all m banding together from civil and mill tary ranks a formidable aggregation to sport Multnomah's colors this sea son. While only two games have been tentatively scheduled with college teams, it is expected that within the next three weeks two more out-or town college games will be added. Camp Lewis. Seattle and California service teams are anxious for games with the Multnomah aggregation and Bertz expects to close for a heavy schedule. aaa Lieutenant Newton Best, athletic of ficer of the United States Marine Corps, stationed at Mare Island, Cal., and the man who arranged the sched ule and all other affairs of the famous Mare Island Marine football aggrega tion which won the Pacific Coast gridiron championship last season. Is eain at the helm ana getting nis schedule in ehape for the coming sea After the close of the football season last year Lieutenant Best was ordered to Galveston for duty. He had hopes f landing in France, but further or ders recalled him to Mare Island, where he has again been vested with the honor of arranging the Marines' foot ball schedule. Best wrote to the writer asking what the football prospects 'were in the Northwest this season and asked for a line on the strong teams, whether they be college or service elevens. From the tone of his letter it might be that the Mare Island aggregation will again tour the Northwest. With so many stars from last year's teams included in the Marines' lineup. t looks as if they ought to trample on the opposition without much trouble. They would prove a big drawing card the Northwest snouia tney aesire to make the trip. Men of the caliber of Lieutenant Best and those who go to make up the gridiron team of the Ma rine Corps are always welcome in Portland. the Pirates have finished their National Leaguo schedule. SEASOX OPENS WITH RUSH Seveial Local Xlmrods Bring In Two Bucks Each. GOLD HILL, Or., Aug. 17. (Special.) , The open season for deer tn Southern Oregon opens Thursday under more favorable conditions than for several years past. The first of tho week new forest fires started In the moun tain throughout Jackson County and, fanned by a brisk wind, gained considerable proportions that succeeded in shrouding the valley with smoke by Tuesday evening, when the much-needed and welcome rain came in a heavy downpour for several hours and ex tinguished the fires, and now the valley Is practically clear of smoke. Several local sportsmen brought In two bucks each on opening day, while others came In with but one, and many empty-handed. Quite a number of deer breed within a radius of several miles of Gold Hilf and are mora plentiful than usual this season, which were easy marks while taken unawares on opening day, but after a few shots are fired flee to sheltered range. With rain threatening to better hunting condi tions there will be a large rush Sunday for Upper Evans Creek, on the south slope of the Umpqua Mountains, from the valley to the most favored deer range in this region. BALLPLAYERS SEEK JOBS BIG LEAGUERS' EYES TTRIf WARD SHIPYARDS. TO- ss A Friend in Need Is What Cherry's Proved to Me" I tell you, Jim, it's pretty fine to know even If you are down and out there's a firm in town which has enough confidence in you to tog you out in new clothes on the Easy Pay ment System. And It doesn't cost a cent more to buy clothes from Cherry's on their generous credit plan than it does to pay all cash, for I have compared their prices with others, and they are Just as cheap, even though they do wait on you for perhaps weeks and weeks o pay them. They are showing a beautiful line of men's and young men's suits, too, in all the latest models and pat terns. You have only to go and look them over to be convinced. You know, Jim, that good suits are going to be very high in price, as well as scarce, and the sooner you buy one the better It Is for you. They .are in the Pittock block, at 383-91 Washington street. Adv. , H. "W. Harglss, recently appointed coach at the Oregon State Agricultural College, Corvallis, Is expected to put in an appearance at the Aggie institution this week. A more than ordinary stack of mail is awaiting the attention of Hargiss, who wiU'.find plenty to do when he arrives on the Job. Dr. A. D. Browne, director of men's physical education at O. A.

Hack Spencer, Oscar ,Vltt, Jack Quinn and Dauss, of the Detroit club, and a number of others in Ban Johnson's circuit most likely will come to the Coast. Vitt and Spencer live In California and the others usually Winter in Los Angeles, but with the "work or fight" order staring them in the face they'll get busy getting back to the Golden West after the season is over and tak ing up their labors In the shipyards. Tom Seaton, who Is working for the Duthie shipyard team in Seattle, is commencing to think he wilj have to shoulder a gun. Tom was recently re classified and placed In Class 1. He is married but has no children and Is said to have laid away considerable of the "cush." Spider Baum, who is managing the San Francisco Union Iron Works team. Is trying to land Babe Pinelll, now with the White Sox, who formerly cavorted in a Portland Beaver uniform. Baum expects to gather a real outfit for the shipyard plant before he is through. Swede Rlsberg, White Sox lnflelder, took a look at a shipbuilding plant in San Francisco recently, but the $4-a-day Job offered him did not sound at tractive. Rlsberg has been getting a "lot" more than that doing utility work for the White Sox. Swede owns an au tomobile, so he may engage in soma work useful to the Government with the buzz wagon. BAIN PREVENTS BALL GAME Band Concert and Wild West Shovf at St. Johns Also Spoiled. Rain that lasted the whole afternoon prevented yesterday's game between the Grant Smith-Porter teams of Port land and Aberdeen. The two snip- yards had a combined band of 80 pieces and for a while there was promise of the biggest doings ever pulled off on the St. Johns diamond. The men went so far as to arrange a regular vvna west snow. mvtii stars who once shone on the Pendleton Roundup track are now working at tne local yards and they had their riding toss on all ready to start the show. Then came the rain and the bucking bronchos were sent back to the stock yards. HUTCniXSOX SETS GOLF MARK Professional Does 18 Holes In 61, Ten Strokes Under Va. CHICAGO, Aug. 17.
