V THE SUNDAY OREGONTAX, PORTLAND, OCTOBER 27, 1918. ATLANTA RACES SET RECORD BRONZE MEMORIAL TO FAMOUS ATHLETE ARRIVES. Miss Harris M. and Single G. Pace Fast Three Heats. ALL HEATS BEAT EVEN TIME la Princeton, Champion Trotter of Year, Makes Three Records. Epidemic Cots Attendance. BY W. H. G OTHER. The 45th oer.es of the Grand Circuit was completed at Atlanta. Ga.. Satur day. October 19. Thirteen meetings were given during the 15 weteks and the contests at each compared favorabl with any that preceded them. Th gradual reduction of the race records also shows that the flight of speed was maintained in the fast classes all th way down the line, although none of them equaled -the showing at Toledo, where Miss Harris M. and Single G. paced the only three-heat race on rec ord in which each of the miles were below two minutes. At this meeting Esperanza. won an event in which a new six-heat race ' record was made. She also won a heat at Lexington in the Transylvania i which Binland was returned as th winner of the fastest four-heat race on record. Lu Princeton, chaimpion trot ter of the year, also made three world records by reducing the two-heat rec ord for stallions in his victories at North Randall and Hartford, where he won the free-for-all before 60.000 peo pie. and at Atlanta, where he made iew three-heat race record for stal lions when he defeated St. Frisco, Murphy Takes Fast Pare. The epidemic which cut the Lexington meeting from ten to seven days caused a number of owners to ship home from that point instead of going to Atlanta. Murphy, Cox. Geers, Stout and Me diation remained in line and, with few others, completed the list of start ers in the 15 light-harness races, which. with a series of running events, com pleted the six-day programme at the Southeastern Fair. The returns for the week show that there were but 24 trotters and 17 pacers started at At lanta for $19,200 in premiums and 16 of them took the word in two events.. The summaries also show that every horse that darted won money. Murphy opened the meeting by winning the fast pace with Directum J. in 2:0314. it be ing the 11th victory placed to the credit of that horse during the season. He also won two races with Ante Guy, the 2-year-old event, with Dorothy Day and the free-for-all with Miss Harris -M. who placed the track record at 2 min utes in 1917. Atlanta Track Lores.

Fla.. while the Lexington meeting was In progress, his brother "Gene," who is now In the service, told me that early In the season both he and Tommy knew they had the greatest stable of trot tera and pacers that were ever as sembled, but neither oj them "ever dreamed that they would make the sweep that was placed to its credit. While The Problem. Chestnut Peter and David Guy were stopped by mishaps Incident to racing, each of them did their part when called upon and con tributed very largely toward rolling up a record for Thomas William ilurphv that may never be equaled. ITeers had a splendid week at At lanta, where he won two races with Fen White's pupil, Kaston. and also showed in front with oro Fino, from the Murphy stable, and June Red. with which he defeated Heir Reaper and Fsperanxa in one of the fixtures of the meeting. During his trip through the lirand Circuit Geers started in 73 race's, of which he won 26. was second in 18. third iu nine, fourth in five and un placed in 15. June Red was the star of his stable, while he also drove ifiiicrle G. in sev eral marvelous races, the most bril liant being at Toledo. Of his other pupils. St- Frisco failed to show his true form after winning at Philadel phia, where he established a new three heat race .record for stallions, while Peter June only trotted one good race this season, it being In the Western .Horseman purse, which he won al Columbus. a"" ,...,., .. ,. ... .

Morrison of Toronto, the Canadian cham pion, and Edward Lasker of Chicago in the recent championship tournament. One of the best games played. Score from the write notes calling us "barbarians.' Germany, too! Quite naturally a lot of people wanted to know something about the trench gun. Quite a number of writers have written a lot about the gun. : We'll add to the lot and try to give every bit of information about the shotgun that is worthy of publication It is the good old short-barrel shot gun that was the greatest peacemaker in the early days of the West and Southwest converted into a formidable weapon of war. Three-score years ago it was the handy piece of the sheriffs who hunted the outlaws, prison guards, express messengers and stage coach guards, and it did yeoman service. When America took a hand in the war a Georgia engineer by the name of Eagor began ruminating on ways to stop the Hun. His ruminations brought him to the discarded weapon of the days .of mushroom mining towns. Old Riot Gun Is Adopted. He suggested the utilization of the short-barrel shotgun to the War De partment and the suggestion met with favor. The improved Winchester riot gun, 1897 model, six shot, hand operat ed, single-barrel pump shotgun was ex amined and found worthy. But there was one problem to be met. That was the placing, of the bayonet. The barrel of the gun was quite thin and did not offer much support for a bayonet. ' This is where Yankee inge nuity asserted itself and iltade the gun the deadliest short-range weapon ever conceived or used by man. The weakness of the barrel was overcome by providing an outer steel coat, or jacket, which is perforated and held a short distance away from the barrel proper and forms an air cham ber that acts as a cooling jacket. To this reinforced jacket is the bayonet , attached. i This jacket prevents the scorching ! of the shooter's hands and permits rapid fire. The magazine holds five shells and there is one shell in the chamber, making it capable of firing six shots as rapidly as one can pull the trigger and work the pump handle. This we might assert is mighty fast when in the hands of a trapshooter. Fifty Shots Fired In Minute. These shells contain 3 drams of smokeless powder, 00 buckshot load, nine pellets to each cartridge, each pel let about the size of a ,32-caliber bul let. It is possible for one man shoot- f ing, and others loading for him, to fire 60 cartridges a minute, which means 450 slugs, a veritable shower of lead, would be sprayed over a 100-yard sector. With hundreds of these guns in use one can imagine the result. No column of troops could stand at close range before a line of men armed with trench shotguns. In the past these guns have cowed mobs and upset mass formations. It is unwise to stand in front of them especially when they are in the hands of one who might pull the trigger. lhe gun weighs 7 pounds and the bayonet Vz pounds. It is the 12-gauge pattern, with barrels 20 inches, long made from rolled steel, cylinder bored. The bayonet can be removed and used for "close-up" fighting. A sling is attached to .the gun, the same as to the rifle, so that it may be thrown over the shoulder. An idea of the effectiveness of the gun is shown in these tests on a two- inch pine board. At 50 yards the pel lets wormed their way. into the wood inches. At 75 yards the shot went in inch and at 100 yards the shot went in 4 inch. When General Pershing requested the shotguns we are of the opinion that the idea was to try and keep Fritz at home in the evenings. Thousands were supplied and these in the hands of men who could use them not only have kept Fritz at home nights but have kept him sleepless more than one night. A 111 Sot Replace Rifle. The shotguns are more effective than rifles for sentries. The guns will not replace the rifle in warfare nor will they perform the functions of'a ma chine gun. It is purely an emergency weapon which has done all that it was intended to do and some more. Firing from the hip, holding back the trigger and pumping the forehand, the shooter can lay-down a perfect bar rage in front of him that will be ef fective for more than 100 yards; This gives an idea of the value of the gun in the hands of sentries. l carries more terrors into the hearts of the enemy than any other instrument of destruction that has been used. The only umbrella that, will assist anyone when the trench shotgun is showering pellets over the universe is j an armored tank. i The guns are mainly in the hands of I trapshooters, men who learned to shoot at clay targets at the gun club. Trap shooters are sportsmen and have used the guns to delfect and explode hand grenades thrown by the enemy. Hand grenades explode four seconas after they are thrown and if they are missed by the shooter he pays for the miss with his life. The compactness of the shot will check the grenade and cause it to explode near me enemy trench, which is fatal to the thrower. MOMENTOUS EVENT IS JUL U.

Hank O'Day, a veteran umpire of the National League, says he Is anxious to go to France and call decisions for the American soldiers in their baseball games. "I read some thing about the need of umpires in France recently." said O'Day today, "and I am going to try to get into touch with the proper authorities and see if I can't help out."

Goss won for the third time on July 27, 191S, thus acquiring per- manent ownership of the trophy, has been found and has arrived 1 from San Francisco. ' The cup had mysteriously dis- appeared when the time for pres- entation came at the close of last i Summer's tournament. . The last ' previous winner of the trophy 1 was Clyde Curley, of San Fran cisco. Curley was in the service and no one knew what he had done with it. Mr. Goss found himself in the "position of having competed for years for the trophy, only to have it slip through his fingers after he had won it. His friends re garded it is a prime joke and j teased him at great length. But the cup has come up from somewhere. Sir. Goss knows 4 nothing about where it was. He f received a notice that it was be- t ing forwarded to him from San , Francisco. And he stopped his , campaign to enroll school chil- , dren in the "Victory" campaign f just long enough to give three t cheers and a tiger. J Mr. Goss Is further elated over the receipt of a letter of congrat ulation from Colonel Walter L Fiske, U. S. A., retired, who pre sented the trophy to Oregon ten nis players in 1S89. Colonel Fiske is now in Washington, D. C. The conditions of the presenta tion were that the bowl should remain subject to contest uutil one player won it three times. I Mr. Goss won it in 1900, 1906 and , 1918. The only other person who won It twice, Mr. Goss says. Is J General Walter A. Bethel, now on t General Pershing's staff in J France. Many famous players , have acquired title to it for one, 4 year, but lost the trophy during the next season. Names of previ- t out owners are inscribed on the -1 sides of the cup. I CNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene, Oct. 26. (Special.) Dean H. Walker, graduate manager of the University of Oregon student body, and one of the best-known athletic directors in the Northwest, left yesterday on his way to the Artillery Officers' School at Camp Zachary Taylor. Ky. Walker has been serving as graduate manager 01 ine university since last June, when he suc ceeded A. R. Tiffany, as well as being the head of the athletic department since the resignation of Hugo Bezdek this Fall. Walker won his fame on the foot ball field of Oregon and during his four years here he carved a place in the gridiron history of the institution that few have equaled and none have ex celled. Walker came to the university after having played two years on the high school team of Independence and two years for the Columbia University, of Portland. It was while playing for the latter school, during the season xf 1908, that he first attracted especial at-I tention, when he scored the firs touchdown that had been scored against the Portland Academy team in seven years. Walker entered Oregon in 1909 and made the varsity team his freshman year. During his senior year, when he piloted the Oregon eleven, the varsity backneld was made up of Anse Cor nell, Johnny Parsons, Cary Fenton and Walker. It was this team of 1913 that beat O. A. C. at Albany by the score oZ 3 to 0. Walker was an "O" man in two major sports, football and basketball, and ws also a me"mber of the Order of the Blanket,, which is conferred on a player who has served four years on the same team. In basketball and football Walker served as captain of the team during his senior year. He was a member .f the Sigma Nu Fraternity and a Friar, as well as being president of his junior class and a member of the student council and athletic board. After graduating from the university in 1913 Walker engaged in business in his home town of Independence. Re turning to the university in 1914 he served as graduate manager and coach of the freshman football team. Walker's resignation was not ac cepted by the university athletic coun cil, but he was granted a leave of absence for the duration, of the war. Charles (Shy) Huntington, coach of the varsity football squad, has been ap pointed graduate manager during Walker's absence. NEW YORK, Oct. 26. The annual meeting of the Amateur Athletic Union, to be held in Philadelphia on November 17 and 18, promises to be one of the most momentous in the history of the organization. Questions having to do with the readjustment of track and field athletics after the war and prob lems arising from the present conflict will be laid before the delegates for their consideration and decision. Their verdict will have far-reaching effects and the various officers and other rep resentatives of the union are collecting data in order to be prepared to meet these issues squarely and fairly. Among the subjects that are to be considered are resolutions barring from all National championship games ath letes of foreign affiliations and the status of an athlete after the war, who. during the hostilities, occupied a posi tion as coach, instructor or physical director at a cantonment or with the service units abroad. The question of alloting the various championship meets at this meeting instead of later in the season will also come up for decision. Of these the most important is un doubtedly the one bearing on the ama teur status of the athlete who during the war has accepted pay for acting in the capacity of instructor or recreation director at a service camp. Under nor mal conditions such action would im mediately disqualify and professional ize such athlete. In the present cir cumstances, however, such action bears an entirely different aspect, the work in many cases being carried on for patriotic reasons and at a heavy finan cial loss, as well as at the expense of broken home ties. As a result it is confidently expected that the following resolution introduced to cover this con tingency will be quickly adopted: "That in accepting such positions many have done so at a great sacrifice, leaving their homes, families, business, positions, etc., to go far from home or over the seas, feeling that in this way they could be useful in helping to Win the war. "Be it therefore resolved that no per son who shall have been eligible to compete as an amateur at the begin ning of the war shall be considered as having forfeited his amateur status by accepting a position such as mentioned above unless he shall continue in said employment after the war is over." The matter of awarding the various championship events in the branches of sport "under the jurisdiction of the A. A. U. at this meeting is more or less of an innovation and the success of the plan will depend upon the number of appli cations received from the different as sociations and individual clubs.

There was a deep wound in nis temple. According to the police, a man who described himself as Sabastiano Volpe, 20 years old, a laborer, and who said he was a roommate of Ippolitissimo, called at the Elizabeth-street station and stated that, while he was sleeping in the same bed with the other man, two men enteref. the room by wy.of the fire escape. He and his roommate were awakened, he said, and ordered by the two men to throw up their hands. Both the men had revolvers, he said. The men then took from each of them $150, which they had tied in a hand kerchief around their legs. Ippolitissimo, Volpe said, pleaded with one of the men not to take his savings, whereupon the man struck his roommate on the head. Ippolitissimo, as a result of the blow, fell upon the bed. Volpe said the men ordered him out on thj fire escape sind then left. taking all the clothes in the place along. . E. H. BRYANT. Editor. ' Phone Tabor 6213.

WITH THE AMERICANS ON BRIT ISH FRONT IN FRANCE. (Correspond dence of the Associated Press.) One of the interesting characters seen on the roads behind the line is the mili tary policeman. He is stationed at every crossroads, regulating traffio with all the gestures of a professional traffic policeman in New York or Chi cago, but in a khaki uniform and with a red brassard on his arm as the badge of his authority. Everything from a gigantic motor truck to a sputtering motorcycle comes within his jurisdiction. "The haughtiest staff car, with its proud staff flags and its red-capped passengers, is sub ject to the law as laid down by that firm arm in khaki. It is a motley pageant that he nar-4 shals. There are big closed cars con taining Generals: there are great open nam filled with young staff officers of lesser rank, but alera, energetic, and keen. There are evenly-moving am bulances with the doctor sitting calm beside the driver. There are huge lor ries, long columns of them. All day long the rush of traffic on these great main roads continues. To wards night the roads are sometimes quieter, but there is still activity. AM through the night, the lorries plod on their way backward and forward, the cars dash by, -the dispatch riders come and go. There is no rest Layer after . layer of white dust settles on the houses and the fences. Day after day the machinery behind the war goes whirring on, growing constantly more complex and more powerful. - . .ol 106
