Another sign of awakened activity am on n: horse owners la a project by the Portland Hunt club to build a new JiO.000 riding academy to take the place of the present structure at J7 Johnson street. The night horse show and the Vancouver exhibition, to be held August 1 to !. are for western Canada what the Pacific Interna tionai Livestock exposition and night horse show are for the Pacific north west, although the local event is supposed to be much larger. Ar rangements by members of the Portland Hunt club have been com pleted whereby 11 Portland horses will be sent north to compete for premiums, cups and ribbons agalnat the best from the Canadian and Washington stables Some of the horses to be shown are Harvest Girl, owned by Mrs. F. A. Martin and entered In the three galled, harness and combination classes; Spring Maid, owned by P. A. Martin, entered In three-gaited classes; Daisy Deane. owned by Mrs. Stanley C. K. Smith, to compete In hunter and lumper events, and Water Bud. owned by Misa Jean Skene and entered In the hunter and driving classes. H. MT. Kerron. own er of the Portland Hiding academy and master 'of foxhounds of the Portland Hunt club, will send The Joker. Coco. Pan wood and Lady Jane. These horses will be entered in saddle, hunter and harness classes. A challenge for a polo tournament tn Portland has been Issued by the mounted troop of the army detach ment at Oregon Agricultural col lege to the officers at Vancouver barracks. Captain K. B. Wise of the Sth Infantry, polo officer for the pet. has accepted It. Whether Portland Is to see a full flvdged polo tournament In Septem ber depends on the success met in finding a suitable polo field on w hich to play. It was intended orig inally to play off the tournament on the field formerly used at the Waverly Country club, but these grounds could not be obtained. The hunt club then offered the In field of Its track at Garden Home, -which, while a trifle smaller than the regulation polo field and not any too smooth. Is the most level place around Portland. Whether It will be used has not been decided. If not. an attempt will be made to get Multnomah field. This Is too small, but will be used rather than let the tournament go by. provided the club give the use of the field. , Polo has not been played In Port land for years and horse lovars and sportsmen are anxious to see the sport revived. The Portland Hunt club has launched a project to build a new riding academy, more modern and much larger thai the one now in use on Johnson street. It plans to finance the new stables through or ganisation of a stock company amonjc the club membership. A cor poration has been formed consist -ing of the directors of the hunt club, with Frank J. Cobbs at the head. Directors of the club say there Is little doubt that their efforts will be successful. The new academy would cost liO.000 and would have a ring large enough to permit the playing of In door polo. It la to be as nearly fire proof as possible and. although no site has been chosen, would be built near the city park so that bridle paths, rights of way for which have virtually been promised, can be con structed within the park.

So much Interest was shown that it waa found advisable to hold two practice sessions a week instead of only one a week, as in previous seasons. Up to a few years ago the na tional tournament seldom got out of Chicago and waa almost a local affair. Now at least a dosen cities are bidding for the event each year. Portland had the site of the tour nament in 1921 and It was a great success. Many eaatern casters made the trip to the coast. Music, Painting;, Sculpture Added to Olympic Games. Eri I.ltcratar and Architecture ierlnded la Testable Iaaatloa by Kreark. BY ROEERT EDO REN. E Olympic games committee In T" France has made an important addition to the athletic programme of future Olympic meets. Competi tions In architecture, literature, mu sic painting and sculpture will be held In connection with the athletic events. The one restriction is that the works of art must be associated with sport. This Is one of the thoughts thst made ancient Greece, more than 2000 yegrs ago, the art center of the or!d. Greek civilization waa far In advance of that In any other coun try. The Olympic games were held at four-year intervals for more than 1000 years. The connection of sports and athletic life with science end arts made the Greeks of that day the strongest, most symmetries', most alert and intelligent people in the world. I The building of temples and mon uments to the heroes of Olympus. and the sculptors and painting and poetry and literature inspired by athletic sports, advanced Greek civ ilisation to a point that has in some ways never been surpassed in mod ern times. . Greek architecture still is the model of the world. We haven't a skyscraper In America, or any fine building, that Inn't largely pat terned after the Greek temples. Oar great athletic stadiums sre Greek In design. Greek sculpture has never been excelled In simplicity and beauty of outline. Although Greece was overrun by barbarian hordes and the Romans and other nations twrlppeil her of a vast store of art objects, there still are enough left to show what a wonderful country Greece must have been. No architect has ever produced anything to excel the beauty of the ancient temples of Greece, decorated' with groups of statuary in Pentalic marble by mas ter scuiptors. i'et ao much statuary was carried 1 . - w - 1 , - x t f MrFARL.tXD. away from Greece that In- Rome the builders used Creek statues, ground to powder, to make lime for their mortar. The French may not be strong at throwing a 56-pound weight, but they've found an idea that will help wonderfully in the development of modern sports and civilisation. m i m The New York boxing commission has a new idea In refusing to permit boxing exhibitions without a deci sion attached. Well, perhaps it'a not so foolish, after all. In past years we've had plenty of alleged "fights" and "contests" without decisions that couldn't be classed even as ex hibitions. Talking over the enthusiasm dis played by the commission In forc ing Dempsey Into a "mixed match" with Harry Wills, a well-known sporting gentleman calls my atten tion to the fact that there was once a dusky scrapper known as "Mul doon'n Pickaninny." and that Tom O'Kourke prospered much by guid ing the activities of George Dixon, who was almost as well known by the name of "Little Chocolate," and of Joe Walcott, variously spoken of as "The Black Demon" and the "Giant-killer." The former boxing commission, whose members were amateurs in sport, was opposed to mixed matches. But me could hardly expect to find the present commission supporting the same sentiment. "This is the age for young men " says Frank Kremer, who at 42 ad mits he no longer can push his bi cycle successfully against the in creasing number of young riders. Kramer finishes one of the most re markable of all athletic careers. For 27 years this master of the wheel lemalned on or near the pinnacle of bicycle racing, both as amateur and professional In that long period Kramer sacrl ficed everything for physical condi tion, without which no athlete can succeed. If Kramer would explain his winning of many championships in one word It would be ''modera tion." The ex-cycle king Insisted on eight hours' sleep every night. It was a rule that was never broken. 'To young athletes requesting the secret of physical training we could afelv liar, fnllnw Wanlr Vram..w Kramers confession that this is an age of young performers Is true In bicyclj racing and every other line of sport. Medical statistics show the average man begins slowly to deteriorate pnyslcally after the age of 30. Benny Leonard, while only 26. Is undoubtedly on the down grade when he attempts to make weight for an Important bout. Most ball players at JO are either retreating to the bushes or else number'ng their remaining days in ' the big leagues. The hand of years Is felt even more in tennis. Tilden and John ston, admittedly the two leading racquet wleldera in the world, are engaging In their final season of competition and both are still several years shy of the JO-year limit. - It has lone been a favorite nun that golf Is an old man's game, but , the age of our champions do not ; bear this out. The new American i open champion Is Gene Sarazen. who Mast February turned his 21st blrth I d-iy. Walter Hagen,, holder of the British open title, is still under 30 ana tne same may be said for the majority of leading American ama teurs. We agree with Kramer that youth In sports cannot be denied. Lipton win challenge again for the America's cup. Kir Thomas has won cups In England. France, Nor way and Spain but would exchange them all fiy the silver mug held by the New York Yacht club. There will be many Americans who admire sportsmanship who would be glad to see Lipton lift the famous trophy after so mamy un successful attempts. i (Copyright. ti'-'2. by Bell Syndicate, Inc.)

E GIITS MUST WIN Even Own Errors Are Held Unable to Stop 'Em, FULLERTON GIVES DATA Pirates Declared Best Team of ; Three Today, But They and Cards Are Slated to Lose.

Even the dope, even their own errors of omis sion and commission, seem unable to stop those Giants from, winning the National league championship. The dope the grandoldope de clares that they will nose out both the Cardinals and the Pirates In the final run down tne stretch of the National league race and return winners again. They figure to triumph after the hardest race the National 'league has known since the days when three teams, led by Chance, Clark and McGraw, fought it In 1908, 1909 and 1910. Pirates Beat Team. Admittedly today the Pirates are the best team of the three. Admit tedly the Cardinals are a shade bet ter than the Giants, but In this des perate stretch run. with both the Giants and Cardinals wobbling un der the strain and the Pirates com ing, fresh and unafraid, the-conditions of the race favor New York to such an extent that they should win out. If the Pirates were able to main tain the pace they axe now setting; if the schedule did not run against both the Cards and the Pirates, there would be some hope of beating the Giants. But as the dope now stands the only thing that can beat the Giants is the Giants themselves. The dope, which we must believe, indicates that on Labor day which Is but a short time away St. Louis will be leading the National league race by a margin of three aJid per haps four games, and that Pitts burg's present rush will carry the team to second place, a game or two ahead of the Giants. But from Labor day to the end of the fight in October, the schedule and every condition favors the Giants, and they will pass the two western teams. While the westerner's are cutting each other's throats the Giants will go through and win. by a scant margin. Glamf a in Best Position. The Giants, figuring them at" the worst of their slump, which now has passed all understanding, still have a team which is better, when regulars only are considered, than either of the contestants, figuring St. Louis in a slump and the Pirates at the .best they have shown this season. Taking pitchers and teams, attacking and defensive, both Cards and Pirates now are in better shape than are the Giants.' But when we come to figure pitcher against pitcher, team against team, and the remaining games of the schedule, the Giants are in the best position. The chances are that they will have a rough trip through the west and that they will slump back to third -place before they return home. But they have both the reserve strength and power, punch and skill, and in addition a heavy advantage in the schedule. -Pirate Are Handicapped. The Pirates are handicapped both by about five games the worst of it, and by the fact that they have a heavy schedule, a bad run -of double- headers, and two Jumps to play Sun day games. The Cards have a bad schedule, as they finish their home schedule on Labor day and play every team in the league, with two series in Cincinnati, before the finish. ' As for games, the Giants have far the easiest schedule of the three teams that figure to have a chance. Pittsburg is not yet stopped in its mad rush toward the top. but in spite of that fact the team will be lucky to win thirty of its remain ing games Cincinnati promises to be the most troublesome team of all to all contestants during the remainder of the season, as the Reds are close to the best in the league Just -now. The fact that the Cards must visit them twice hurts St. Louis' chances. Besides that the Cards are showing signs of strain from fighting for the lead. Pirates Are Freshest. 1 .On even terms and even schedules. I would figure the Pirates to win. as they are freshest and have the best pitchers Just now. But the Giants must be figured on some thing near their true form. The team has been In a bad slump, from which It is Just emerging. It has seven more games with Philadelphia and nine more with Boston which should be easy. Besides that the Giants have shown their ability to beat contenders when the pinch comes. Analysis of the present race Indi cates that the Giants have been los ing, because their star players have been out of shape because Ban croft and Groh have not been play ing the game as they are capable of doing. Under the circumstances a rally is to be expected.. The defec tion of Douglass hurt the team, of course, but he had a sore arm any how, and was of no use, and his big leave of absence from the reserva tion may give his arm a chance to come back. McQuillan and Nehf are pitching well, and Jess Barnes is better than National league average. Pltsbnrg Is Hard it. The team should have a lot of trouble beating Pittsburg in the series now starting, because the Pirate pitching staff is at the best It has been this season. But after that series the Giants should not have much trouble in the western trip. Only Sherdel at St. Louis and Alexander at Chicago threaten them with serious trouble. And remember this, if the Giants can break even during the com ing western trip It makes little difference, what St. Louis and Pittsburg do because the Giants, when they get back home, will be a championship team agai.i. There is "one element in this race which Is extremely hard to dope. There Is beyond doubt a feeling all through the National league that anything that Is done to beat the Giants Is legitimate. Not that any team would try to help either Cards or Piratea. but it is strictly proper for managers to select their strong est pitchers to work against the Giants, which naturally would leave LO SAYS weaker ones to pitch against the Cards and Pirates., There is that feeling. Boston, --pr Instance, was rooting hard. for the Cards. I think every member of the Braves wants the Cards to win, - yet She "Braves bumped the Cards twice. 'and came near doing It a third time all the time wishing they would win. If it comes down to a pinch Brooklyn naturally will favor the Giants, and the other teams will favor any team that has a chance to beat New York.' There is - feeling in the league that- the Grants have taken unfair advantage In making purchases and trades and it Is resented among the players. This may help the rival clubs. But as the dope now stands the Giants will have to continue their own wretched work in order to lose. They have the men, the money and the machinery, as we say in the Y. .M. C.-A., and should pull through whether they deserve it or not. Thus endath the dope. OLFJ-:n PLAYS 81 HOLES Spokane Endurance Record Said to Have Been Broken. SPOKANE, Wash., Aug. 12. All Spokane records for endurance golf playing were shattered' on the Downriver links here recently. It !s believed, by Arthur Velguth, a local road Contractor, who played 81 holes In one da-y, spending 11 hours in continuous play. At the finish Mr, VJguth was ap parently as fresh as when he started, 'but his caddie. Bobby Wil lard. onexf the huskiest lads at the municipal field and his only com panion, -was almost In a state of collapse. It was estimated that dur ing his nine times around the course Mr. -Veiguth traveled approximately 30 miles. , If the arcs his clubs inscribed in their many swings were added to gether and flattened out it is esti mated the accumulated distance would extend the length of nine city blocks. - .

Helen Wainwright of New Tork es tablished a new world's record for women for the 600-yard free style swimming, according to an an nouncement made here today by the National Amateur Athletic union. Her time1- for the distance was 7:09 2-5. The old record made in a closed pool was 7:19 3-5. Misa Wainwright also established a.' new American record n the same race for 300 yards. Her time was 4:13 3-6, while the pre-vious Amer ican record was 4:18 2-6. This record also was made in a closed pool. a n LEXINGTON ' . OLD-TIME RUNNERS FAST PERFORMERS Sheffield Handicap Great Developer of Marvels. MANY RECORDS ARE MADE Performances i of - Paddock. Show l"p Brilliantly, But Not All Exceed Those of Past. In the days of - the once great English "Sheffield handicap," which used to be - to professional foot racing what the Davis cup is to tennis today, many great sprinters were known to the world. The present generation of track enthu siasts knows nothing of those old time events. .' Not knowing them, it is natural for sports followers to live in the present day only. There fore when Paddock makes or breaks some former 'amatr mark he is naturally ' and propefly hailed as. a wonder. The Sheffield" handicap was 150 yards, and the winner was always credited with-.-his time from the handicap mark. It'is this fact that causes present day athietes to won der how such.' distances as 132 yards, 141"& y.ards,- etc., ever got on the books. -S"-" '"' There were many famous sprint ers in those events ana they could without exception fun mny yards inside- "even time." Famous Sprinters Entered. For instance. In 1865 Frank Hewitt was the reigning profes sional. On his Sheffield start he was allowed eight yards- and ran his 142 yards In 13 seconds. Charlie Mclvor was the first Ameri can to win a Sheffield, in the early '80s. He was placed on 132 yards and ran the distance in 12.. 2-5 sec onds. These are just two of many examples of "the phenomenal speed of sprinters of those days. Paddock today, stands out as the first man in the world to break 21 seconds for 220 yards and his 20 4-5 for the distance never has been ex- ! celled by - the professionals. ,: The best "pro" furlong on record was made in 1913 by Donaldson in 21 1-10, this being 1-10 better than , noun c i MINUTE MAN Series 23 Roadster (2-passenger) Touring Car (5-passenger) , Touring Car (7-passenger) Sport Model (5-passenger) California Top (5-passenger) .......

'J SANDERSON WINS CHASE IXYIXG FOX FTJKXISHES THKilXER AT GRESHAM. Steady Downpour of Rain Makes Going' Hard in Mile and Three-quarter Event. W. TJ. Sanderson on Flying Fox won the mile and three-quarter steeplechase at the Multnomah county fairgrgound track at Gresham yesterday. The race was a thriller and the large crowd of fair visitors, who had put in a long wait until It was announced that the har- -nes3 races had been called of on ac count of the wet track, were well repaid for the delay. Then here were eight starters in the steeplechase, which was the only racing event held yesterday. A steady, downpour had spftened the ground and made the going heavy for the horses, but, despite this, the animals were given a hard ride and were, well bunched at the hurdles and at the finish. Sanderson, by some hard riding, put Flying Fox into the lead at the start. Harry M. Kerron, riding Daisy Deane, gave the Sanderson entry a hard run and crossed the line only a length benind. Walter Gearin, on Buster, pulled up in third position, barely nosing out Pay Day, with Captain K. B. Wise up. Cap tain L. A. Cross, on Joker, was fifth, and Tex, ridden by Sergeant H. J. Burch. sixth. There was only one ppill in the race and that occurred at the first hurdle, when Captain D. B. Simp son, on Major Dillon, went down. Four of the horses failed to take the first jump. The steeplechase will be repeated today. There also will be two har ness events if the track is in shape. HOOD CLUB WILL BE HOST Portland Trapshooters Will Par ticipate in Tourney Today.
