streams whera the wily trout
have become scarce. Palmer Bros., tne
Jewelers, have been advised that they
will receive f,000 and they will plant
them In nearby streams, a goodly por
tion of them In North Powder.
Messrs. Nichols and Hart asked for
black bass to plant in the Raldook
slough in the city and nearby, but the
' government exports stated that the
. water was not suitable for this kind
V of fish. They asked the local men to
' plant some of the trout in this water
and predicted that the results would be
great. This experiment will be made.
These trout that are being received
are the real rainbow trout and are not
to be confused with the mountain trout
which seldom attains a growth of over
10 Inches in length. The government
fish experts say that theBe fingerings
will attain a growth of eight laches
within a year.
Local sportsmen are inclined to doubt
this and are urging that streams planted
with trout fry be closed for one year
in order to give them a chance to at
tain a growth and to propagate. It is
' more than likely that this agitation
will lead to the formation of a rod and
gun club In the near future which will
act as a spokesman for the sportsmen

WHAT DOES CHAMP WOLGAST MEAN?
By Chimmie.
What has Wolgast up his sleeve?
With his arrival In Chicago the other
day, he immediately announced that he
would battle with Packy McFarland if
tha latter would make 134 pounds at S
bells in tho afternoon.
The question is, can Packy make the
required notch on the scales that Wol
gast insists he make? If Paoky would
, come out With a decided answer either
on way or the other, arrangements for
a bout could be made in a Jiffy. The
fans all over the country are a bit
skeptical about Packy 'a ability to make
tho weight.
The Chicago fans claim that thestock
' yards boy can make the weight demand
ed by the lightweight champion and
till be strong enough to topple Wdl
" gast over. Pugilistic experts who have
followed tho game for years claim that
this assertion Is only a stall on the
parts of McFarland' s backers and that
when the time comes for Packy to affix
his name to a set of articles, stipulat
ing that Packy shall make 14 pounds
' at 8 o'clock In the afternoon, Packy
won't be able to make good.
Would Money leaks.
A bout between - these two boys is
sure to draw a crowded house and tho
winner would receive one of the largest
purees a lightweight ever carried away
from an arena. Wolgast by his recent
victories and his inclination to battle
with anyone. who challegenes him as
iMong aa they Jnako tho Required weight,
has earned for him the good will of all
the followers of the fight game. Packy
himself is an Idol of the fans and a
crowded house is sure to greet the
boys no matter where they swap
punches.
Wolgast does not think that Freddie
Welsh will make as good a battle
against him as Moran did. Ad claims
that Moran cun stand a walloping bet
ter than the vegetarian from Wales.
Nothing more than a verbal promise
from both Welsh and Wolgast is all
that Uncle Tom McCarey has from the
boys that they will show for him on
Thanksgiving day. It would not be at
all surprising to hear of Jimmy Coffroth
stepping ir and copping the bout for
. San Franclisco. If all McCarey has at
this time is the word of the boys that

Portland Oarsmen Abandon

Although it is with general regret
that the rowing enthusiasts will read
of the decision of the Portland Row

regatta this year, it is very likely that
a Portland crew will be sent east next
year. The season was so far advanced

Chehalis, Wash.. July 22. Local

Spokane. Wash.. July 22. Within one
week the Lake City track, the one-mile
Idaho racecourse, which will be the
scene of a SC-day program of running
horses, commencing September 11, will
be complete, and the vanguard of the
ROO-horse contingent expected at the
meeting will commence to arrive for tho
workouts preliminary to the opening
bugle.
The nltitude of the Lake City track,
over 2000 feet above sea level, demands
that horses be conditioned on the track
preparatory to racing. The Vancouver
horsemen, who will commence to ship
this week, will take their performers
to a higher altitude, while the Butte
and Anaconda euulties will work In
Idaho under a sky several thousand feet
farther away than at Montana.
The Idaho meeting will be featured
by two distinct Innovations In western

"A boon for horses with bad feet, as
well as those with a tendency toward

superintendent of construction, labels
the new mile course. The track will
be springy enough to prevent broken
feet, and not sponky enough to strain
tendons.
Yacht Club Notes.
The Sparrow, one of the speediest
sailing boats on the river, met with a

would entitle her to keep the cup.

Jack Tauscher, whose photograph is
shown above, Is one of the many local
seml-professlonals who has taken up
professional ball and made good. At
present Tauscher Is holding down cen
ter field for -Spokane, in the absence
of Kippert. although the youngster has
been used in the Infield and as gen
eral utility man. While playing star
ball nt short last season for the
Gresham Giants, some one tipped him
off to President Joe Cohn of the Spo-.
kane club, and at the beginning of the
present season he whs sent a contract
which he promptly signed. From the
start he caught the rye of both Ost
diek and Cohn by his marvelous field
ing and speed on the paths, and, al
though a trifle weak with the stick, he
has changed to the left side of the
plate and Is expected to Improve in
his hitting. At that Tauscher is hitting
around .200. which is not a "bad figure
for a youngster Just "breaking In."
.lack is n great favorite with the Spo
kane fans and scarcely a day passes
but that he has a flattering writeup In
one of the Spokane' papers. In each of
the last three games with Seattle, he
has driven in a run by lacing out a long
sacrifice fly to the outfield as well
as to steal two bases. Next season
Tauscher is sure to land a regular po
sition, and with this encouragement he
should Jump to the front, as without
a doubt he has the ability to become a
star.

sidered."
In such a manner did Battling Nelson
make reply to the statement of Jimmy
Brltt. Friday, that he would surely
stop him within the 10 round limit of
their coming fight In New York. Bat
tler refused to consider the statement
of Britt In a serious light.

him considerably. I will admit that
Moran gave me a heavy beating, but I

Nelson received a telegram this morn

By W. S. Farnsworth. -New
York, July 22. What position
on the diamond produces the mos; base
ball managers? A glance ovst the list
of big league generals shows that the
shortstop and first base positions fur
nish baseball with a majority of the
national pastime's dlrectori-ln-chlef.
Another peep reveals the fact that there
is little to choose.- so far as man
agerial ability Is concerned between, the
men that have advanced from the play
ing firmament to the leadership stage.
Of the 16 major league managers,
four had gained renown as first base
men; four had made their mark as
shortstops; three were formerly or are,
catchers; and one each has graduated
from right field, center field, left field,
third base and pitcher. There is miss
ing in the managerial list only a sec
ond baseman.
The first basemen who are now man
agers are: Frank Chance, Chicago;
Fred Tenney, Boston; Hal Chase, New
York Americans, and George Stovall,
Cleveland. The shortstop delegation in
cludes Hughey Jennings, Detroit; Hugh
Duffy. Chicago Americans; Roderick
Wallace, St. Louis Americans, and Wil
liam Dahlen, Brooklyn. The catchers
who have made their marks as big
league leaders are: Connie Mack, Phil
adelphia Americans; Charley Dooin,
Philadelphia Nationals, and Roger Bres
nahan, St, Louis.
Who Was Bsst.
As these three positions have given
baseball most of its managers, it would
not be amiss to enter into a discussion
on the respective merits of the meo
upon whom hinges the success of base
ball. Taking the first base division: Of
the array. Frank Chance is the one who
stands out most conspicuously. "Husk"
has proven beyond a peradventure that
he is one of the greatest managers that
haa ever been associated with the gam.
Chance has performed the unprecedent
ed feat of jiilottng a team to the Na
tional league championship three years
in succession. Ever since Chance has
handled the Cubs, his team has always
been in the thick of the fray. This
year Is no exception and the Cubs are
the ones all the other teams figure they
must beat in order to carry off the the
National gonfalon. There is every in
dication that Chance Is through as a
player. Repeated thumplngs on the
head by pitched balls have been the
cause of 4he Cub leader having dizzy
spells. This condition has seriously im
paired his playing ability but it. has
hardly affected his thinking capabil
ities. Chance figures to direct his team
from the bench hereafter.
Chase follows Chancs.
Hal Chase, manager of the local
American league aggregation, follows
Chance in so far as success Is con
cerned. Chase has had his gritty team
fighting It out with the leaders all the
time, despite repeated disruptions in his
team on account of injuries and Illness.
The Yankees have put up a game fight.
Chase, in the time he has been at the
helm, has shown himself to be pos
sessed of much baseball acumen.
great guns and the Portland fans are
sruce to turn out in large numbers to
boost for the blonde leader.
In the third Inning McKune was
"beaned" on the "synagogue" by Hen
ley and dropped to the floor as if he
had been shot. Not half shot, but shot.
Some fan In the bleachers yelled "Gee,
yer can't kill an Irishman."
Kid Mohlor says he chased "Mys
terious" Mitchell off the bench because
he thought Mitchell was the Jinx. The
"mysterious" one has reposed on the
bench all week and yesterday before
the game, the Kid whispered words of
transportation into Mitchell's ears.
Mitch occupied a seat In the grand
stand and the Seals won their game.
It looked as though Portland might
manage to slip a run over In the ninth
when both Chad and Sheehan singled,
but the rest of the boys failed to come
through with the necessary blngles: and
we were whitewashed.
Ben Henderson will heave for the
Ducks this afternoon, while Miller will
be on the firing line for the Seals.
Benny has always been a hoodoo to the
Seals and here is hoping he gets away
with the long end of the score.

yet to show. For a while after BtovsJI
1 was entrusted . with the managerial
bask of the Nans, after MoGuire ra
signed, It appeared that he would maka
good. But since then the Cleveland
have been going poorly and it looks aa
If 8tovall will have to stick at the first
base Job in order to earn his livelihood
at baseball.
Tenney has been a rank failure and
his displacement is looked for next sea
son. It la not Fred's fault that tha
Bustlers da jot win more games. Ten
ney knows as ; much baseball as any
one In the game, but it Is entirely a
different . matter to inject that knowl
edge Into' players who cannot grasp It.
Two Shortstops ncossses.
Of ths shortstop graduates... two are
successes, while the other brace have
yet to display anything worthy of men
tion Hughey. Jennings is well known.
Ths fiery manager of the Tigers has
copped the American league bunting
many times and his team is in ths
struggle this year as much as ever.
Hugh Duffy has made an excellent
showing with his bunch of Chicago
"comebacks."' Bill Dahlen and Bobby
Wallace have been sad failures in man
aging their teams. It is alleged that
both have been tampered with In tha
direction of their minions. They have
tried and failed, although Dahlen will
probably hang on another season. Wal
lace Is booked for his old position at
shortBtop.
The catching deDartment has been re
sponsible for three of tho baseball
geniuses of the season. Connie Mack,
Charley Dooin and Roger Bresnahan
have all made good. Mack and Dooin
have their Quaker collections showing
the way in both leagues, and bid fair
to have them around tlte topmost rung
till the end of the season. Mack is al
most certain to have his White Eele
phants occupying the highest notch
when, the season closes. Aa for ths

Bresnahan and his Cardinals have
been a revelation thus far this sea
son. "Roger can boast of only one or
two stars outside of himself; yet ho
had directed his team Into the first
division.
Patsy Donovan and Jimmy MoAleer,
two of the old school, both fielders in
their time, cannot strike it right in
managing a team. Both are classed
among the wise heads of baseball, yet
they cannot get the material to be a
contender. McAleer has declared that
he will resign after this season, al
though his contract has another year
to run.
Fred Clarke of the Pittsburg Pirates,
one of the finest left fielders in tho
game, has been a great manager in -the
many years he has handled tha
Pittsburg teamf Clarke is at present t
whanging the ball for way over .8H0
and is giving' Hans Wagner a close t
argument for the batting supermacy of t
the National league.
Ons rrom Third Basa.
Third base has offered but one man- I
ager to baseball, and he is acknowledged
one of the shrewdest that ever directed
a team. John McGraw, manager of
the Giants, Is the one that has done
honor to that position. McGraw's base
ball knowledge has gone a long way
toward giving New York successful
teams.
Clarke Griffith of ths Cincinnati Reds
was a pitcher. While with the Yankeen
at the beginning of his managerial
career, Griffith had his hirelings up in
the front. With Cincinnati this year,
Griffith has been in the ruck all the
time and promises to remain there.
