INTER CITY TEAM days when this state was a virtual hunters paradise. The increase in the number of game birds found in the state, in the opin ion of Mr. Hogue, is the result of the migratory bird laws and the treaty with Canada. Before these laws went into effect and hunters found spring shooting as much sport as that during the fall flight, virtually the only wild ducks to nest in the state were the blue and green wing teal. Recent investigation shows that the canvasback, mallard, redaead3 and bluebills are nesting near the waters of the state and the law prohibiting the use of dogs in hunting prairie chickens is believed to have increased materially the number of birds. MICHIGAN CALL IS ISSCED AGGIES TO START PRACTICE SEPT. 15 ! E End of Season Three Weeks Away for Bushers. Many Shrewd Coaches Will Assist Rutherford. MATCHMAKERS GET BUSY THREE WINNERS POSSIBLE FIELD IN FINE SHAPE 20 BUNCHED C Ernie Madden, Brother of Portland Ilea vywelght. Plans Return y to Fighting Game. ,r BT PICK SHARP. Portland boxing: fans are asking the what, where, when and how of the first boxing card of the season, but except for the announcement by officials of the Milwaukie boxing arena that they would put a bout on. on September 15, fans remain in the dark. The. Portland boxing- commission iad not been planning on action un til the first week of October, but if the. weather continues good, may etage two cards Jn September. Per haps as early as the eighth, and again on September 22. This, however. Is yet to be voted ttpon by members of the commission, as Matchmaker Evans has not yet keen authorized to line up any bills for next month. There Is a certainty of there being a. card at the Milwaukie arena Sep tember 15, but Frank Kendall, match maker, and George Moore, manager, have refused to divulge the lineup of the Initial show up to date. It is still early yet, and no bouts have been actually signed, but they are dickering with a number of mittmen. Matchmaker Kendall would like to feature Jack Reeves, the San Fran tisco boxer, and Boy McCormick in the main event, but Is having some trouble getting hold of the latter, who is in New York at the present time. Reports have drifted out here to the effect that both Jack Kearns and Billy Gibson are managing McCor mick and he has been promised a number of big fights in the east. If he ever gets started in the big league and makes a few showings like he did out here, local followers are not likely to get another opportunity to witness him in action unless they take the long Journey across the Rockies. Matchmaker Kendall Is considering other matches on his first card be tween Frankie Murphy and Harry Casey. Eddie Shannon and Muff Bron son, Willie St. Clair and some oppo nent, Johnny Fiske and someone, and other boxers. Until he gets the word to get busy. Matchmaker Evans of the Portland commission will sign no mittmen, but is planning matches for his first two cards. Evans likes an Andre Anderson Tiny Herman heavyweight mill, as well as a bout between Eddie Shan non and Muff Bronson, and others. II is also considering a contest be tween Billy Mascott and Frankie Howard, Chicago bantamweight, who recently arrived here. Evans is planning on using Jimmy Tuffy, Oakland lightweight, here early this season if he can set on a worthy opponent for him. He will also fea ture Joe Gorman at an early date against a boy who figures to give the little brown-skinned battier a real fight. Ernie Madden, younger brother of Lloyd Madden, the Portland heavy weight, is planning on returning to the squared circle this fall. Ernie is eald to tip the scales around 145 pounds, but expects to get down to an even lighter weight. Madden fought several bouts at the old Rose City Athletic club, and is an exceptionally hard hitter. His last match was with Johnny Boscovitch about four years ago. Abo Gordon, the little Portland fly weight, got off to a good start in San Francisco Friday night, winning over Harry Scott. Abe floored Scott in the fourth round. His brother, Sammy, left to join him several days ago. Abe Matin is managing both 'youngsters. Ole Anderson. Taeoma heavyweight, who invaded the east a year or so ago, Is back in his home town, and wants to box here this winter. He would like to meet Andre Anderson or Tiny Herman. Roy Davis, 122-pounder from Los Angeles, Is the most recent addition to the Portland fistic colony. Davis has fought such boys as Young Brown Ralph Lincoln, Georgie Thompson and others in the south. Ted "Kid" Lewis, who was welter weight champion of the world, until he was hit on the chin by Jack Brit ton, is back in New York after nearly a. year in England. Lewis has an nounced that he wants a crack at Johnny ilson. middleweight cham Tlon, as soon as it can he arranged. Ted Is already signed to box Jack Britton before the International porting club. Dolan to Referee Oregon Game at Pasadena. Gridiron Official Novr RoDchliig It A Ionic the Pacific Coast in the Vicinity of Waldport. OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL LEGE, Corvallls, Aug. 28. (Special.) Samuel Michael Patrick Dolan, one of the best gridiron officials on the Paciiic coast, has been asked to offi ciate in the University of Southern California-University of Oregon foot ball game to be played at Pasadena, Thanksgiving day, and has accepted. Dolan, along with George Varnell and Plowden Stott, will handle most of the Pacific coast conference games. Dolan is at present roughing it along tne coast in me vicinity of Wald port. "Climbing mountains and daily ewims through the ocean surf are putting me in great shape for the coming season," writes Dolan. TESSEY AXSWERS CRITICS Creen Boxers Should Get Season ing, Says Fighter. Criticism hurled at the younger school of heavyweight boxers is an swered by Gene Tunney. He says: "'Anybody with common sense knows that it is foolish to stack a young man in his first year of pro fessional boxing against top-notchers who have a big advantage in years of experience and in weight, too. This game is not a sport to me, but a pro fession or business. If I were in an other business I would not enter a deal or enterprise that could not turn out to my benefit. If I did I would soon be bankrupt. Boxing being my business, why,-then, should I do such things? I will content.myself with the knowledge that 'he who laughs last lauKha best.'

So far as known. Blue Is the only minor leaguer that is to accompany the teams. There has been talk of Jim Scott going along, but In view of the4 fact that the San Francisco pitcher has seen many long years of service in the majors and was on the trip around the world with the White Sox, he can hardly be classed as a minor leaguer in this instance if he joins the party. i Harry Heilmann, who at one time sported uniforms of the Portland coasters a-nd Northwestern league, clubs and is now a big league vet eran. Is also listed for the trip. The team will sail sometime in October, according to the present plans. Although It has been several years now since Joe Gedeon forsook the coast league for the majors, it ap pears that he Is this season enjoying his most successful stay in fast com pany. Joe is smacking the agate this year as he was never able to do in the past, while reports from the east indicate that his fielding is even bet ter than in years gone by, and Joe was never named among the worst in this department of baseball pastiming. Gedeon's batting average on a recent date was .291. He is with the St Louis Browns. Consensus of opinion among coast league fans is that neither Walter Mails, the Sacramento southpaw, nor Herb Brenton, the diminutive Seattle flinger, will have any great trouble in sticking in the big show this trip up. Mails goes to Cleveland, while Brenton goes to bolster the pitching staff of the world's champion Cincin nati Reds. Both of these players had been more or less kicked around the coast league up to the present season, when they broke forth as shining lights. It is also worthy of note Jn passing that both lads at one time or another wore the livery of the Beavers. Oh. youth, page Babe Ruth! A home run record that is seldom equaled was hung up recently by Jack Wright, an outfielder with the Flint club of the Michigan-Ontario league, who slapped three circuit swats out of the apple orchard in one game.

Sammy, - RAY TAKES OPEN TITLE 23 YEARS AFTER VARDON FIRST Toledo Meet Most Important Ever Held in America and Shows United States Has Succeeded in Producing Stars. BY FRANCIo OUIMET. F' OR the second time In our golf history our open title has been taken by an Englishman, Ted Ray, and just 20 years after the first victory of his partner, Harry Vardon. Between them they nave won twice out i of three starts and mm what is sure evi ls dence of their high position is that Vardon was runner-up in his other two appearances and Ray a third in his one former ap- i learance, following a triple tie in 1913. This is a most remarkable show ing. The Toledo open was by far the most Important Francis Oalmet. one ever held In America. It cer tainly brought together more and better golfers and, though our own lost, the results prove conclusively that we have finally succeeded in pro ducing a number of stars thoroughly capable of caring for our chances in the future. Ted Ray will go down as the Co-1 lossus of the Link's. He can drive farther than any man living. Some may dispute this claim, but let their J champions try to match Ray day in and out. But driving alone would not win in such a field. It was a com bination of super-hitting and sensa tional putting which placed him first. Vardoij, the master; Jock Hutchison, Leo Deicel and Jack .Burke were al most as good as Ray; but these stars and a group of a dozen others noted golfers all simply could not keep pace with the powerful Briton. Hole Showa Ray's Class. One hole alone will show Ray's class, the seventh at Toledo, an elbow affair of 320 yards. The straight line from tee to cup over a grove of trees 90 yards. Par is 4. Four times every contestant played this noie. What was Ray s record here? On his first attempt he reached a trap guarding the green and secured a 3 The next time he reached the green another 3. His third round saw his ball carry to within a foot oi the pin and roll but seven or eight feet be yond. Then he all but secured a 2. On his last appearance a strong cross wind had to be met. Again he almost reached the green. His fourth 3 re sulted. His total on that hole for the four rounds was 12, four strokes un der par. It is idle to speculate on the value of hia drives in the face of these facts or to fail to note his skill at the short game. In driving at Inverness Ray set the mark at practically every hole. Unlike the major portion of long hitters, he backs up his long il W HAS HARD TIE VETERAN" PHTLE SATS INDICA TORS ARE SLIDE "GOATS." Overseers of Game Fade, One "by One, While Baseball Gam blers Ramble On. The position of an umpire in a gambling scandal calls for the sym pathy of every baseball fan. Consider the abuse that has Deen heaped upon them by the fickle public through the medium of a ballplayer working in cahoots" with the "gamble-leers. They're roasted and toasted and made the target for pop bottle barrages and all that sort of stuff just because the fan happens to think the "beef" made by a ballplayer is on. the square. Billy Phyle, veteran indicator of the Pacific coast league, says the "umps" are merely the unconscious victims in bribery and gambling charges whenever they happen to crop up in baseball. "The fans make us the "goaf for everything that goes on during the ball game," says Phyle. "How many times we have suffered to suit the whims of a ball player who might have been working with the gamblers will never be known. They just slough us around, call us whatever names they please and yell murder when we happen to fire them out of the game or have them suspended." Phyle said a mouthful. The poor umps were mauled and? kicked about harder last season than ever before in the history of the coast league, and it was last year the dirty work of the gamblers was at its height. 'The various charges that were made at the beginning of this season were prompted through the ballplayers on various clubs kicking at them. But the public seemed unanimous la sid carries with other fine play. Al though not as graceful as Vardon and others, none of them plays more ef fectively. Vardon .Makes Great Effort. What a great effort Vardon made. I keenly felt his inability to win. He simply lacked the strength to carry on . to victory once in the lead. But his nerve was sublime, even when he Was slipping. Going to the second green from the last Vardon was mag nificent. He faced the alternative of attempting an exceedingly long bras sie to the green, knowing failure would end his chances in a guarding brook, or of playing short and for -a tie. A faint-hearted golfer would have quailed at the first thought. Not so Vardon, even when he knew his strength was failing him. Vardon went into that ball with all he had left, saw it rise beautifully and then drop into the water. Had his attempt here been successful, had the desired 4 been scored instead of the 6 which was but why indulge In post mor tcms? That try was splendid of him. Leo Deigel suffered from well meaning friends. Left alone, his chances were excellent. But, harassed by advice, tips and good wishes, what other result could come than failure? Followers of tournament play must ! learn that unsolicited aid and praise from the biggest mental hazards and that no other hazards are as hard to carry. Even a friendly "hello" is often sufficient to' upset one's concentra tion. Hutchinson Bit Overgolfed. It was too bad Jock Hutchinson hit his high pace in the qualifying round. It was too much to expect him to maintain it. He was a bit overgolfed, as was Jim' Barnes. Putting caused many a hope to die and cost Chick Evans many strokes. A word about Bobby Jones and his magnificent showing. He was In the running all the way and the experience gained will ard him greatly to bear out my contention that he will soon be cham pion. No golfer I ever played with is so thoroughly sound on all points. It is but a matter of time before he sur passes all. Hagen could not find his game early enough. Open champions are those who strike their stride early and firid the breaks coming their way. Their tee shots find the right spot, their Irons reach greens and their puts sink. Hagen was forced to fight him self. That undermined his morale. While many do regret that an American did not win the title. I feel certain that Ray's victory will be a good thing for American golf. Cer tain it is it will stimulate and re double our 'efforts to insure Ted of an even warmer reception should he return next season, as he undoubtedly will, to retain the honor he so richly ing in with the ballplayers. If any thing peculiar went on during the process of a ball game last season. It was the umpire who was given the razz. "An umpire should have the same authority as a referee has in the prize ring." says Phyle. "If he be lieves a ballplayer isn't giving his best toward the game, he ought to have the privilege of ousting him without taking the manager into his confidence." But the poor umps fade from the picture one by one, while the little gambler rambles on. WELL-KXOWX TURFMAX" DIES Edward R. Bonne Served as Jud; of Xatoinal Horse Show. isew YORK. Aug. 28.

DEMPSET REM FOB FIGHT cnArnox takes xo ciiaxces OX LOSIXG TO MISKE. Five Days of Road Work Sharpen Wind and Strengthen Legs. Bout Is on Labor Day. BENTON HARBOR, Mich., Aug. 28. tSpecial.) Whatever the ambitions of Billy Mlske, St. Paul challenger for the world's heavyweight champion ship. Jack Dempsey doesn't propose to regard lightly the plans which his opponent here on Labor day after noon has laid to cxpture the title. That Dempsey will not suffer from over-confidence is certain. He has demonstrated that much by the eager ness with which he has followed the instructions of Manager Jack Kearns in his training. With the able Ben Smith assisting. Jack has just com pleed about the most strenuous first week's -training a champion ever en gaged in In preparing to defend his title. Five days of road, work has sharp ened the champion's wind and strengthened his legs to such a degree that he says he feels fit right now to jump into the ring. "I'll need ecme boxing to improve my speed and judgment of distance," said Dempsey today, "but I do not antici pate any trouble getting down to the form I was In against Willard. I have only a few extra pounds to re move now. At Toledo I was In and out of form during that long siege of training several times. I have kept in shape by doing light work for several months, boxing exhibi- ons and the like, and the last week's work here has done me a lot of good." Hundreds of week-end visitors Journeyed to the Dempsey camp yes terday. Bill Tate is again being starred in the role of chief chopping block, with Panama Joe Gans as fist assistant. A third classy boxer. Harry Greb, of Pittsburg, Is on tho Job to help the two negro boxers provide the fun and amusement which the champion insists upon in preparing for a light. Manager Kearns regards the Tate- uans-ureD comDination an ideal one in giving Dempsey the glove work that he will need to prepare properly tor JUisKe. lireo is fast, - cleveT boxer and although light, he should give Dempsey the chance to develop .speed. Gans is a fast man, too, and although small, should provide the right kind of opposition. Tate is the biggest man of the three and an ex ceuent aeiensive iignter. Those pis ton-like arms of his make him hard to hit. He's big enough, too. to take a considerable amount of punishment and they all must stand a little bat tenng when they get in there with the champion. It is very likely that Demnsev and his challenger will enter the ring less tnan two pounds apart In weight. Manager Kearns, for Dempsey, has authorized the statement that the champion will not weigh more than 188 pounds. WHO WILL STOP THE GIANTS? Xevr fork Nationals Sensation of Major League Season. The question uppermost In the country's baseball mind is: Who will stop the Giants? And are they stop- able? Unquestionably the New York Nationals are the sensation of the major league season. Quite as much as a unit are the Giants in the public baseball eye today as Babe Ruth is as an individual. In the last fortnight New York has distinctly outclassed all competition. winning the series from Cincinnati and Pittsburg, two contenders for the championship decisively defeating Chicago and making a clean sweep of tne series with St. ixuis.- All this re veals a latent power recognized by students of the game at the start of the season, when it was freely pre dicted -the Giants would have to be reckoned with before the pennant was won. But the New York pitching staff almost as a whole collapsed in the early months of the fight; the defense was ragged and the attack weak These deficiencies explain the reason for the Giants falling as low as last place and trailing for quite a long time in seventn place. Ev-Beaver Quits Job. Announcement has been made tha the resignation of Eugene (Rubber Krapp of Detroit and former Portland pitcher, as . manager of the Battle Creek team in the Michigan-Ontari league, has been acccepted.

Three teams, Honeyman Hardware. Sherwood and Astoria, are bunched for what appears to be one of the warmest finisnes that has ever kept the bush ball fans on edge for many aay. i :,o Hardware lads are at resent leading the circuit bv the small margin of one game. Sherwood is second and Astoria third. Tie Considered Likely. The season's schedule In the Inter city league calls for each team to play 19 games and Honeyman has ompleted 17 of the quota. Sherwood as three more games to play before Is schedule will be closed. In forecasting the nrobable winner f the pennant there are several sides to the question which have to be con- dered. In the first place, if Honey man wins its two remainlne camps na onerwooa should complete its schedule without meeting another de teat then the two teams would be led for first place, which would ne essitate a three-game series to de- Ide the championship. If Honeyman should win Its two remaining games and Sherwood lose one of the three left on the schedule then the flag would go to the Hard ware dealers, while the order would be reversed if Honeyman should lose game and Sherwood win all three. Then there is Astoria to be consid red in the race. The Centennials have only three more games on their schedule and should Honeyman or Sherwood be taken down a notch or wo the lower Columbia river tossers would be thrown into- a tie with either of the teams for the leadership of the league. Taking it al! In all It looks as though it would be a nice torrid lttle battle with the fireworks due to start this afternoon. Both the Astoria and Honeyman teams will take a rest today but the Sherwood team's troub- es will commence this afternoon when the Onion City tossers take on the Hilisboro American Legion team at Hilisboro. There is more rivalry attached to contest between two out-of-town teams than there is when a Portland team meets one of the outsiders, but when the two towns are as close to gether as Sherwood and Hilisboro the game is bound to be a big attraction. Sherwood has strengtherKid consider able for the grand finish having se cured several Salem players and Man ager Morgan statea he is all set for the best tiie other teams have to offer. Astoria to Play Coople. Next Sunday Sherwood will en tertain -the Astoria team at Sher wood in a double header, which will close the season for both teams un- i the race for" the penrtant in the circuit ends in a tie. Honeyman has two more ganes left. one with the Multnomah Guards and the other with the Hilisboro team. The Klrkpatrick Stara, who have been bolstered somewhat during the past week by the addition of several new players, will meet the Portland Iron orks this afternoon on the Sellwood park grounds in a double- header. Billy Stepp, Red Lund, Biddy Bishop and Reed, all formerly with the Salem team, have joined the Kirks and Manager Heales has also signed Klein and Beaver. 'All are old time city leaguers and with Hornby, St. Marie, Jay Fox and Chief Myers num bered on the Iron Works, the fans will be taken back a few years when these same players used to battle for the city title. The other inter-city league game scheduled for this afternoon is be tween the Multnomah Guards and the Cendors, and will be played at Col umbia park. HERMAN" REGAINS EYESIGHT Banty Champ Boxed 3 Tears When Xearly Blind. CHICAGO, Aug. 28. Pete Herman. bantamweight champion of the world, waa almost eitone blind in his right eye for three years, and none of his opponents in the ring knew anything about it. i Joe Golden, partner with Sammy Goldman in the management of Her man; Pal Moran, the New Orleans lightweight, and others are authority for this statement. Golden says Her man recently had an operation to remedy the defect and Is petting back into fighting harness in Denver tonight, when he meets Roy Moore. The layoff of the bantamweight champion cost the little Italian no less than $40,000 in purses, but his handlers figure the champion will be better than ever now that he has two good1 peepers. Despite, the poor right eye, Herman kept boxing right along, showing ha waa a fighter of same ness. Herman will make a short trip to the coast and will croes the pond In the fall to meet Jimmy Wilde in a championship battle in London in No vember. For this engagement Her man is to receive a flat guaranty of 120.000. Herman will make 118 pounds at 3 o'clock for Wilde, and his backers think he will score a knockout.

DETROIT. Mich.. Aug. 2S. A squad of 54 men is expected to furnish the material fron which Fielding H. Yost. Michigan's veteran football coach, will construct his 1920 football ma chine. Invitations to that number of gridiron asuirants have been sent out. This will be Yost's 20th year at Ann Arbor. He will have the assist ance of a number of former Michigan stars this year. Among them ar Archie Hahn, former track leader, who will have charge of the training squad, and Joe Maddock, regarded as one of the greatest tackles ever pro duced In Michigan. COLLEGE BOYS WIN OUT LILT" "LATEST COAST MAX TO JOIX MAJOR LEAGUERS. St. Marys at Oakland Credited With Contributing Greatest Star in Baseball. The recent departure of Ken Lily, the Stanford university baseball player, to Join the New York Giants, brings to mind a whole string of Pacific coast college ball players who at different times have gone east to the majors and made good. The invasion of the east by coast college men started in 1895 and it was the old reliablo Joe Corbett, then at Santa Clara university, who led the van and paved the way for coast men of the future. Joe Corbett went east purely to visit his brother Jim, who was then champion heavyweight boxer of the world. It was Jim who urged Joe to re main in the east for a time, and Jim was able to find a place for Joe with the Baltimore Orioles, then the big noise of eastern baseball. Joe made good, and in 1S96 won the ser ies for the Baltimore team against Cleveland for the world championship, Joe outpitching the famous Cy Young. Again in 1897 Joe again won the series. Shortly after this Ovle Overall of the University of California traveled east and made his mark in the big timbers, and in 1910 Heine Heitmuller also of the University of California was grabbed by the east. It was in 1908 to about 1912 that St. Marys college of Oakland made its biggest contribution to organized baseball with such famed stars as Harry Hooper, Harry Kraus, Dutch Leonard pnd Duffy Lewis. Duffy Lewis is unquestionably the greatest Individual star this coast has ever sent east. It was in the series of both 1915 and 1916 that Lewis was the big hero of baseball and playing with him on the same Boston Ameri can team were his college mates, Harry Hooper at right field Duffy played left and. Dutch Leonard, one of the leading pitchers of the series Hooper was nationally famed as one of the greatest outfielders the game ever produced. It was in 1915 that Carson and Bigbee of the University of Oregon tried out with the Portland Coast league team, and soon after Carson went to Tacoma. Inside of two months he was bought by the Pittsburg team and has been with them ever since. BURNETT FOB CLEAN BALL TACOMA BUSINESS MAX GUARDS PACIFIC INTERNATIONAL. Club Manager Who Struck Umpire Fined. $100; Ungcntlemanly Conduct Is Barred. TACOMA, Wash., Aug. 28. (Spe cial.) "Baseball must be kept clean. With so many agencies in the world to turn the minds of people to paths of co-called enjoyment that Invaria bly lead to destruction for mind and body, our great Tiatjonal game of baseball must stand out as a mighty pillar against all that is not clean and true sportsmanship." In the above words Louis H. Bur nett, Tacoma businessman and presi dent of the Pacific International league, with clubs in Tacoma, Seattle. Spokane, Yakima and Victoria and Vancouver, B. C, has taken a firm stand for a clean diamond. Mr. Bur nett is also upholding the stand for clean ball recently taken by William H. McCarthy, president of the Pacific Coast league. Mr. Burnett's stand for clean base ball was announced recently when one club manager struck an umpire as a result of a close decision at the home plate. The club manager was fined 100, apologized for his conduct re sult of a hasty temper and is now a better manager and a man who will recognize clean baseball as the true meaning of this great sport.
