SOME HIERS BAG
PHEASANTS A-PLENTY
Eain Puts Fields in Fine Con
dition for Dogs.
PROSPECTS ARE BRIGHT
fportmcn Warned to Be Careful
cf Hour They Begin to Shoot;
Table Is Given.
Bcatter-gun artists who -were out
last week in quest of pheasants and
water-fowl have returned from dif
ferent parts of the Willamette val
ley and report the game birds to be
plentiful, some of the nimrods being
able to bring down the limit alter
few hours of hunting. The rain of
the past week has put the fields in
line condition for the dogs to work
and the pheasant hunters are jubilent
pver the prospect of bagging the limit.
Jim Morris and illiam t row spen
a couple of days at Morris- private
iuck lake on the Columbia river
lough, where they succeeded in get
ting an even dozen ducks apiece. They
report the birds to be plentiful.
Frank Johnson and Ed Kubanks
rad a trip to Newberg for "Chinas'
and report a fair shoot.
Prank Smith of this city while at
Corvallis during the early part of
the week was out three hours, during
which time he had little trouble in
liaccirr the China pheasant limit.
Clifford Ball invited a party of
friends to a pheasant shoot near Ore
yon City, but after the party had ar
rived on the grounds it was found
that Clifford had brought along the
wrong-sized shells with the result
hat the shoot was called off for that
day.
"Ham" Corbett, Joe Smith and a
Tarty of friends enjoyed a success
ful duck shoot at the Twin Oaks Duck
club on the lower end of Sauvies
Island. The birds were plentiful and
the party succeeded in bagging the
limit. The members of the party were
also fortunate enough to bag a pair
cf Dheasants apiece.
Jack Card. Jene Mann and Victor
Carlson returned from the duck rancn
on the big Ramsey lake below St.
Johns, where they report extra good
chooling. Members of the party were
able to bag the limit a little after 8
o'clock in the morning and return
to the city in time to resume their
respective positions the same day.
Archie Parrott. W. F. Prier. .W. C.
Brawley, Joe Daily of Portland and
Clifford Brown of Salem were bang
ing away at the water-fowl at u. P.
Clerin's place on the lower end of
Sauvies island during the past week.
They report a nice shoot with the
birds, especially the sprigs being
plentiful.
Ray Winters, prominent sportsman
and A. K. Downs, president of the
Oregon Sportsmen league, were out
the first day for China pheasants
with only fair success.
Sportsmen who wish to keep on the
right side of the game laws should
be careful of the hour at which they
begin their day's hunting. The fol
lowing schedule complied by Carl D.
Shoemaker, state game warden, gives
the official time which regulates the
shooting of game birds. It would be
well for the nimrods to paste the time
table for shooting in their hats, be
fore venturing forth in search of
ducks or pheasants.

In some important matches and has

Stock in the Red ball club is still a
commodity on the Cincinnati stock ex
change. It seems the club officials
got the idea that some of the stock
was being bought because the pur
chasers thought a world's series pass
would go with each share held, so a
rule was made that stock must be
held on a certain date to get a pass.

Jack Coombs, former manager of
the Phillies. Is laid up at his home in
Palestine. Texas, with a bullet wound
In the leg. He got into a dispute with
a wild Texan over the rights to the
road while driving his auto near
Palestine and the native pinked him.
The wound was not a serious one and
both men "expressed regret" and there
was no prosecution.
flank Schreiber. recruit lnfielder
with the Reds, must have had his
head turned by praise restowed upon
him. When the Cincinnati players
held a meeting and decided how they
would cut their world's series money
they voted a full share to all except
Duncan, See and Schreiber, wno were
allotted one-half share each. This
made Schreiber so angry that he re
fused to Dut on a uniform. Schreiber
looked pretty good as a sub for Heinie
Groh, but his attitude has cooked his
goose as a Red.

they do not agree and often contradict
themselves as follows: Gam. at fourth

sound and cannot or need not be abandoned

"Walter Johnson has four or five
more years before him," declares
Clark Griffith. "He is as good as he
ever was. He is Just past his 32d
birthday and to see him .work he
really looks like & youngster." Asked
whether Johnson was suffering from
a sore arm this season, the manager
replied: "I have never known Walter
to have a sore arm. There was talk
about his arm being sore at the open
ing of the season, but it was not so.
He was suffering from a bad cold,
which caused general indisposition."
TRAP ARTIST TAUGHT
Mississippi Indians Show Skill
With Bow and Arrow.
MUZZLE LOADER IS NEXT
Tom Marshal Recounts First Vic
tory in Winning County Cham
pionship in 1876.
BY TOM MARSHALL.
"How did you break into the shoot
ing game?" is a question frequently
asked me. Drift back with me to a
time when I was living In Keithsburg,
III., a beautiful little city located on
the banks of the Mississippi river.
The noble red man yet paddled his
canoe upon the Father of Waters, mi
grating like the birds impelled by the
seasons. En route the Indians would
give exhibitions of their skill with
the bow and arrow, shooting small
coins from split sticks.
At night, with a weird light re
flecting upon them, spectators would
be regaled with the snake, sun, ajreen
corn and other dances. It was the
bow and arrow exhibitions by the In
dians that aroused in me the desire
to shoot. My first attempt was with
the weapon of the redskins. This
taught me to. shoot- with both eyes
open, as do all trap experts like
Heikes, Crosby and Gilbert.
Mnzsle Loader Xext Step.
The next step was a single barrel
muzzle loader,. which was only a gun
in name, yet with careful and con
tinuous crawling I occasionally land
ed a duck. On my 13th birthday my
parents presented me with a Joe Man
ton, double barrel, muzzle loader,
hammer gun. The ram rod had a
screw on the end. The locks had
ducks engraved on the sides. This
placed me on the pinnacle with the
other boys. It then became necessary
for me to win the friendship of an
older person who could and would
teach me the fundamental principles
of wing shooting. Louey Charbon-
naux was the man.' I made no mis
take in my choice. Louey was a
typical French voyageur, spoke
broken English, was well educated,
honest, congenial, resourceful and
faithful. I grew to love him. Louey
discovered in me (as he in later years
confided) latent shooting ability,
which he determined to develop. His
first lesson was accuracy, care and
safety. "Take no chances" was his
motto and slogan. Afield, the stars
were his signal lamps, the touch of
a tree gave him direction, the dark
est night was an open book to him.
Louey was my ideal, he taught me to
shoot, hunt and fish. Explained the
secrets of the forest and introduced
me to Dame Nature. He was the
moving spirit that put me in the
shooting world.
First Victory Recalled.
My first special trap success was
the winning of Mercer county. 111.,
championship in 1876 I still have that
trophy and prize it highly. I have
never won a cup since that looked as
large to me, although the height was
only about four inches. After that
date I was in many tournaments.
shooting tame and wild pigeons, glass
balls, Ligowski clay pigeons, Peoria
black birds, etc. In 1891, as a mem
ber of , the Northern team, I toured
the south, visiting the principal cities,
and returned ucdef 2ated. E. S. Rice
of Chicago in 1397 organized a team
of 12 western shooters and entered
them in the Grand American Handi
cap (the premier shooting .event of
tne world) which was held in New
York. No western team had ever won
this annual contest. His team were
Dr. Carver, Grimm, Williamson, Dun-
neu, Merrill, rowers, Vorhis. Bing
ham, Budd. Gilbert. S'annard and my
self. It required three days to finish
the shoot. From start to finish the
western contingent were in evidence.
Honors Come Fast.
At the conclusion I had won the
premier event and was the only con
testant to turn in a perfect score. The
following year (1898) the event was
captured by Mr. Ed Fulford of New
York who won the honors for the east.
E. S. Rice in 189 organized a second
party with 65 shooters in .line to again
ANZ ACS RETURN TO SPORTS
IN CROWDS OF PRE-WAR DAYS
Horse Racing Holds Forth Daily in Some Part of Island Boxing Came
Comes Back Strong. "
SYDNEY, Australia, Sept. 3. (By
Mail.) Things over here are loping
along in the good old pre-war days
style. Horse racing is booming along
again, there is one big race meet held
each day In all Australian cities. The
stadiums In each of the capitals are
drawing enormous crowds, and they
are rolling up to all other events in
the sporting world.
The boxing game Is back stronger
than ever and American exponents of
the fistic art are beginning to invade
this country. Tom Andrews, the Mil
waukee, Wis., U. S. A., promoter is
the latest well-known sportsmen to
arrive in this country with a string
of American boxers in tow, who will
be stacked up against the best of
Australia's mittmen.
Frits Holland, the middleweight,
who came here from Spokane, Wash.,
several years ago, is still a big
drawing card, but was badly beaten
by the Australian heavyweight,
George Cook, at the Sydney stadium
recently. There was a big difference
in their weights, Cook being 13 stone
4 pounds and Holland 11 stone 10
pounds. However, Cook was very
much the superior boxer or tne two
and won easily.
Georse Cook has now challenged
Albert Lloyd, the holder of the heavy
weight championship of this country,
and has a side wager of $2500 that
he can beat him.
Harry Stone, your Hebrew boxer.
late of New York City, is going very
well here. He is at present promot-
ii sr successful boxing contests in Ade
laide, South Australia. He is also
matched to meet Aid Morey, an old
time Sydney boxer, w.ho has recently
returned from active service in Eu
rope. The scrap is to take place in
Perth (W. A.).
Lew Edwards and Harry Stone will
n-eet for the lightweight champion
ship of Australia as soon as George
Baillleu returns from his world trip
on behalf of Stadiums Ltd.
Jimmy Clabby met Tommy Uren,
middleweight champion of Australia,
at the stadium in this city on August
30 and was defeated on points. The
bout was a 20-round one. Clabby ar
rived on the scene hog fat and nearly
two pounds overweight. This proved
a drag tn him and Uren won fairly
comfortably.
. .
Silvino Jamito, one of Uncle Sam's
attempt the capture of the Grand
American championship.
I was also a member of this party.
This was another three-day affair,
with 263 contestants facing the traps.
Eight men tied for first place, of
which I was one. The tie was shot
off on a miss-and-out race. The hon
ors again fell to my share on the 33d
bird. I had captured the premier
trapshooting event of the world for
the second time. No otner snooter
has ever duplicated this performance.
In J901 the ail-American team was
sent abroad by the American people
to compete in the international shoots.
It was my honor to be elected captain
of the team. We met all comers and
returned to America with an uninter
rupted succession of victories.
Since my return with the all-Amer-ican
team I have been and am at the
present writing actively engaged in
the trapshooting game, attending all
of the interstate and many of the
state tournaments. Am personally
acquainted "with the major portion of
the trapshooters who have been con
nected with this sport for any length
of time, many of whom I have -ot met
in recent years. I now desire to ex
tend the glad hand of good fellowship
through the columns of this paper to
all of my old and prospective friends.
Questions and Answers.
Question Is trap-shooting being- at
tempted on the battleships? Is it possible
for a man to shoot with any accuracy
aboard ship? -
JAMES BURMINISTER.
Answer Yes, there is a great deal
of interest manifested in the navy in
the sport of trapshooting, Many ships
have formed teams and some hotly
contested races have been pulled off.
Officers are encouraging the men to
adopt this sport, as it engenders ac
curacy. It is possible for a man to shoot ac
curately from the deck of a boat. When
the all-American team was abroad
we shot a race in mid-ocean at the
request of the captain of our boat, for
the entertainment of the passengers.
It was a little confusing for the first
five or six shots, but the team soon
caught on and calculated the swing of
the vessel so closely that excellent
scores were made.
Almost every United States steamer
carries a hand trap. There recently
was a race in Guantanamo bay, Cuba
under the auspices of the Red Cross
Gun club of the United States steam
ship Solace. F. P. Williams, pay
master, won the trophy with 103 out
of 125. F. R. Holt of the United
States steamship Louisiana was sec
ond with 97. Thirty-two officers and
men participated.
HAWAII
PLANS
OLYMPIAD
Suggestion for Pan-Pacific Sport
ing Meet Well Received.
HONOLULU, T. H., Sept. 16. Ten
tative plans for a Pan-Pacific Olym
piad to be held here in 1921 in connec
tion with the Pan-Pacific Congress, a
series of conferences on problems of
finance, commerce and industry to be
held in Honolulu during 1920 and 1921,
under the auspices of the Pan-Pacific
Union, were made here tonight at a
meeting of local sportsmen.
It was estimated that as much as
$200,000 might be required to finance
the Olympiad, but confidence was ex
pressed that the necessary funds
would be forthcoming. L. Fullard
Leo, who recently returned from a
tour of practically every Oriental
country touching on the Pacific, said
the suggestion for a Pan-Pacific
Olympiad was enthusiastically received
everywhere and that teams of ath
letes would come from many lands.
Pheasants Scarce at Gaston.
GASTON, Or., Oct. 4. (Special.)
The first day of the pheasant season
saw most of the local gun club men
out for a day's sport and two or three
got the limit, but said the birds are
very scarce this year. After the two
years of protection the birds were
quite numerous hereabouts, but soon
the hoggish methods of some of the
hunters thinned them out and the
cold, snowy winter of a few years
back was very hard on them and as a
result the last two or three years
have furnished poor hunting.
Tulsa Gets Murphy Cup.
ST. JOSEPH. Mo., Oct. 4. The post
season series between the St. Joseph
and Tulsa western league teams, win
ner and runnerup for the Murphy
cup, was called off after four of the
six games had been played. Indis
position on the part of the players to
continue and the small attendance
was responsible. Tulsa, which had
won three of the four games, was
awarded the Murphy cup.

Philippine colonists, came to Sydney
a few weeks ago in company with a
fellow countryman named Cowboy
Keyes. His first fight took place last
Saturday against Vince Blackburn,
our bantam champion. Over 10.000
fans rolled up to see the clash, and it
certainly was some scrap. Both boys
stood toe to toe during the whole 20
rounds and swapped blows. They were
bcth badlj punished, but stood up
gameiy and took their medicine Tike
men. The colored boy proved & reve
lation to Australians. He never fell
into a clinch and banged away with
both hands all thd time. Blackburn
won on points but the American col
onist was always well In the picture
and proved dangerous to the last sec
ond. '

most serious contender for our ban

of the finest exhibitions cf the fistic
art yet staged by Stadiums since the

FIRST WlLlifvIETTE
GAME IS SATURDAY
Alumni Team Will Provide
Practice for First Squad.
VARSITY MEN ARE LIGHT
Some Veterans Will Appear on
Team This Year, but Most of
Contenders Are Small.
WILLAMETTE UNIVERSITY, Sa
lem, Oct. 4. (Special.) Willamette's
new football machine will have a
chance to demonstrate its qualities in
the annual battle with the alumni
team next Saturday afternoon. The
university did not put out an eleven
last year,, but several old letter-men
and a considerable amount of new ma
terial is present this fall. Thirty-five
or forty men are fighting hard for
regular positions, but the light weight
average is causing much speculation
as to what kind of a line-up Coach
Mathews will send upon the field.
The past week has beon spent In
learning the rudiments of the game,
tackling, passing, and some signal
practice. Scrimmage work will begin
In earnest next week, and after a few
days it will be possible to make a
rather accurate selection of a team.
Seven Letter Men Return.
Seven letter men are back in the
harness again, and all have guod
chances to land regular berths again,
although they will have to light hard
with newcomers in some instances.
The letter men are: Irvine. Dimick.
Wapato, Rarey, Socolofsky, Basler and
Brown. Modler, Spies and Olson, three
regulars of the 1917 eleven, are in
school but are unable to report this
fall.
The best bet for the fullback posi
tion seems without a doubt to be
"Chief Wapato. the big Indian whose
line-plunging was a feature of the
1917 season. Waldo Zellor, a new
man from the Sunnyside, Wash., high
school, is developing fast and will
maKe a good substitute full.
Captain Dimick has one halfback
position cincheti, while Ftarey evi
dently will be seen In action as tho
other half. The latter is light, but is
one of the hardest men on the team
to stop. Barnes and Sherwood, both
Salem high men, may fit in as back
field subs. For quarterback, Coarh
Mathews has a fast, steady man in
"Tuffy" Irvine, who starred in that
position three seasons ago. Ganxnns,
a comer from Idaho, is second choice
for the pivot position.
Many Out for Team.
A large number of available men
are wording for a position In the line,
and it will be more difficult to innko
the selections here. Basler, rangv
tackle of the 1917 bunch, is out for
center this fall, and bids fair to make
it, although he Is being pushed hai.l
by Les Day, a former Grants Pass
youth who subbed on the team two
years ago.
Three freshmen are trying for
guards. Ransom, formerly of Salem
high; Thomas, a Massachusetts lad,
and Lawson, from Blanchard, Wash.
Thomas is also considered as a possi
bility for an end position. There is
little question at the present time re
garding the tackles. Paul Brown, nn
old man, and Miles, Salem hlf;h and '
Pacific college athlete, seemingly be
ing the eligible candidates.
Vinson, a tough scraoner from
James John, will make a strong hid
for one of the ends, while Ed Socolof
sky seems at the present time to have
the best chance at the other end of the
line. Walt Socolofsky and Selee, Sn
lem men, are also trying for one of
these positions, while Flegel. O. Law
son and Mclntlre, subs of 1917, and
many other candidates are putting up
stiff opposition for line positions.

of injuries received this week.
Squad Is LlKblvrrlaht.
The lack of weight will doubtless
be the most serious drawback which
the Bearcats will face this season, but
Saturday's game should be a good
test. Jack Bartlett, 1916 captain and
fullback, Is lining up a formidable
bunch of old stars for the coming
contest. Included in It will doubtless
be Archibald, Randall, Carson. Hen
dricks, Schramm, Radcliffe, Proctor,
Shlsler, and others of the old guard.
In anticipation of the opening of
J the season, the first pep rally was
neia in tne university cnapei last

of seven or eight games, whirh will
include battles with Multnomah club,
Pacific university, Pacific collear,
College of Puget Sound, Reed college,

Martin "Blue-Kyed" Battler.
One would hardly accuse Bob Martin
of Akron, O., Boldier challenger of
Jack Dempsey, of being a puglilist,
after reading the following descrip
tion of .Martin by a Cleveland sports
writer:
"A great big blue-eyed boy with
wavy light brown hair."
To be called "a great big blue-eyed
boy with wavy light brown hair"
would make almost any man fight.
