SPORTING NOTES j H K Dr. Clough Namecl Multnomah Physical Director st tt s m. at r. at k s t Has Made Athletic Training His Life Study Clough Has Coached Every Branch of Athletics in Col leges and Clubs, Dr. Leslie Clough, for years a stu dent of physical culture work and at present the trainer of the Portland Pa cific coast league baseball team, has been appointed to eueceed J. Lee Thompson as physical director of the Multnomah Amateur Athletic club. Clough's appointment was made 'at the meeting of the board of directors last Monday night, but the announce ment was withheld until yesterday when Superintendent Dow V. Walker was authorized to make It public. (Hough will take up his new duties at the opening of the classes Septem ber 15. Clough plans to resijrn from l'.is rost with the Portland Beavers end devote some time to brush up on his classical dancing and other gym nasium features. Am he is a lover of sports of all kinds. It Is more than likely th.it Clough will assist in conditioning the clubs boxers and wrestlers this fait and he may take a keen interest in aiding the gridiron team. The club's new trainer has been en gaged In athletio work of various forms for years and in that time has coached all kinds of athletic teams and given Instructions in physical cul ture In every corner of the country. His training and Instruction capac ities baa extended from the coaching of such amateur sports as football to the conditioning of boxing champions for their important matches. The doc torn nose is always turned into a hoik after his day's work Is over and if no the latest discoveries in the medical world, it is of literature, science or rt. An avidlous reader is the I'ort land trainer. Or. Clough was born at Summervllle. S. C. in 1882. He was graduated at the Bath. N. If, high school in 1898 and entered Dartmouth .Medical college In the fall of that year. He withdrew and entered Maryland university in 1899 and was graduated four years later. He was graduated from the Buf falo Osteonathetic college in 1!04 and the Oklahoma College of Orthopedics in 1912, thus giving him greater insight into treatment of anatomy. He was assistant to Head Coach 'Father Hill" McDermott at Maryland during the four years of His undergrad uate life. He helped coach the Dart mouth teams in 190-1-5. 'Ir. Clough trained the Baylor uni versity, Wasco, Tex;is, athletic teams in 1912-1-1, in the summers of 1913-14 was trainer of the Providence club of the International league, the club win ning a pennant In 1914. In 1915 he coached track at the University of Southern California in 1916 and trained the college football and baseball teams. He was the first coach of the great colored runner, Howard Drew, at the Springfield. Mass., high school and later at V. H. C. and much credit for Drew's showing is given Dr. Clough. He was assistant coach of athletic teams at the los Angeles Athletic club in I91u. . Crack Trotter's Life Restored by Whiskey St. Frisco. In the stable 2:07V the best trotter of Pop Geers, has had an eventful career. The story has never been told that when he was a little colt at Walnut Hiii farm, in the winter of 1912. he strayed from his companions, got lost, and when found he was down and frozeVi to the ice. St. Frisco was almost dead, but Jack Hill carried him to the stable and wltn whiskey and hot blankets re stored life In the little fellew. At three years St. Frisco raced in the futurities and was beaten reg ularly, but he struggled so humanly that Geers was led to remark one day at Columbus: "That colt tries so aw fully hard to be a good horse that I believe he will some day." Then St. Frisco spent a splendid winter at Memphis, with the result that last year ne went through the grand circuit for six victories and five second moneys all his starts. He gained a record of 2:07V. That Geers gave the young horse much attention again laat winter, is evident from the fact that St. Frisco has Improved more than two seconds, having recently worked a mile in 2:05. Trapshooting Clubs Join National Body In the last six months trapshooting clubs have become organized on a more permanent basis than ever be fore, due largely to the systematic campaign carried on by the American Amateur Trapshooting association in virtually every state and Canada. By means of Its nation-wide organi zation tho national association has been able to reach many clubs which have long resisted the efforts of the state associations. In 35 states the number of clubs enrolled in the A. A. T. A. exceeds the number affiliated with the state associations. In 10 states Montana, Kansas. Ohio, Wash ington. Mississippi. Alabama. Wiscon sin. Nebraska, Rhode Island and South Carolina do the state associations lead In number of clubs. In two New Hampshire and Colorado both nation al and state associations have bcn equally successful. In the United States 627 clubs are enrolled in the state associations as against 029 in the A. A.

It was the first decision. Gordon has lost in a couple of years. Outweighed by at least 10 or 12 pounds, the little Hebrew put up a wonderful exhibition. coming back strong In the last round and adminis tering a lot of punishment to Winger, who had aiready cinched the decision by his showing in the second, third and fourth rounds. Gordon weakened tinder Winger's ' ' ' secona rounu ani in tne inira aim lourtn rounds ne lost his stride. His footwork was not up to standard and he was swinging wildly. In the fifth, however, he came back stroiiR and the round was even. Abie won the sixth by a wide margin and for a time It looked as though he would drop Winger but he did not have enough steam behind his blows. Winger put up the' best exhibition of his career. He showed great im provement over his last appearance and had a wonderful left hand. The fans will probably want to see another bout between Mascott and Gor man, as the result of the great exhi bition Friday. Gorman put up a good bout, but was not entitled to the de cision which he received, a majority of the fans thinking the bout should have been a draw. Lowe Sims, the local middleweight heavyweight boxer, will meet Joe Bonds of Tacoma, Wash., In a boxing rontest at Boise. Idaho, next Friday night. Ray Dorey, the local bantamweight boxer who has been campaigning around Kansas City and who is at rrcsent in Pocatello, Idaho, is still clamoring for a match with Billy Mascott or Joe Gorman. Dorey was scheduled to box Gorman here last month, but could not get here in time to go on. Jockey- Bennett, the local bantam weight boxer, is going to forsake the soda fountain for the ponies.

Football prospects at the Multno mah Amateur Athletic club are not so bright this coming season as they have been in the past. Only six mem bers of last year's aggregation. Cap tain Striebig, Alec Donaldson, Grover Francis, Clayton Sharpe, Wally De Witt and Merritt Wells, will be on hand this season. Despite the gloomy outlook. "Dad" Convill, who will direct the "Winged M" players, la enthusiastic and has hopes of building up an aggregation that will make the other teams extend themselves. Paraon to Oregon. It Is rumored that Johnny Parsons, one of the greatest half backs ever developed In the northwest, will return to the University of Oregon this fall and if he does it will be a severe loss to the club eleven. Manager. Convill said yesterday he would be more than pleased with the outlook If Johnny would support the "Winged M" colors again. There is some chance of Ioiiis Mills, who formerly was a star on the Har vard university eleven, turning out for a position. Last year Mills did not have much of an opportunity to break into the club line-up regularly because of lack of time to condition himself. Kddie Duffy, who was counted upon being one of the club's regular half backs Ihis season, is now located In Seattle and there is little likelihood of his returning- to Portland this fall. To Have Coaches. As the club team will play its first game about September 30, Manager Convill will' probably issue a call for the pliyers about September 1. The first tiwo weeks will be .devoted to preliminary training and then the work of shaping the team for the fray with the Oregon Aggies.

' On last Monday evening the Linnea team gave a reception for the other two teams and their captains at Lin nea hall and an enjoyable time was v. JZ Now that Harold Elliott has gone to the big league, it will not be amiss to recount a good story on the game little backstop. It concerns a former Coast leaguer who had hifalutlu' ideas, when he went up to the big time. One afternoon when Rowdy was nothing more than a kid in St. Louis, he went out to the National league park, asked permission to practice with the Cardinals and got busy. They wanted somebody to catch while batting practice was on. Rowdy picked up a catcher's glove and started for the plate. Instantly a blustery voice bellowed: "Hey, you little tramp, drop that glove before I crown you with a bat." "I won't hurt your glove," timorously replied the diminutive Rowdy. "Drop it. I say. Drop it!" stormed the big leaguer. By this time Elliott, was wild with rage. Walking over to the big leaguer, he threw the glove at his feet and opened up in this manner: "Say, you big stiff, some day you may be glad to have me use your glove. If I ever get a chance, I'm going to run you out of base ball. Just remember that, I'm going to run you out of baseball!" In due fime the big league catcher slipped and was sent out tothe Coast league, to the Sacramento club. Later on he was traded to the Venice club, where Rowdy Elliott was the first string catcher. When he reported to Manager Han Hoean and was introduced around. Rowdy called him quietly to one side. "You may not remember me, pal," said Rowdy, "but I'm the busher who told you in the St. Louis ball park that I'd run you out of base ball, and now I'm going to proceed to do it. If you ever catch a game for Venice, it will be because I can't put oti a glove. That will teach you to be courteous to young fellows trying to break in. Now get ready to quit." The ex-big leaguer had caught in 152 games the previous year for Sacramento, the greatest number in the Coast league in 1913, while Elliott had caught 145 for Venice. Everytime that he got ready to catch iu 1915 for Venice and Rowdy was in shape, the little fire brand would grab the mask and protector away from him and snarl: "Hey, you, drop these Implements; I catch today." That season Elliott caught 151 games, while the object of his affections caught only 59. The next year Venice let him go and ho has retired from baseball for good. P. S. The ex-catcher's name is Jack Bliss. Believes Portland Should Re Higher Up. Among those who are puzzled at the present standing of the Beavers in the percentage column is Del Howard, new manager and part owner of the Oakland club. Speaking of the Beavers yesterday, Del said: "It -looks to me as if Mac's team is having a hard run on the luck this season. He appears to have a lot of good ball players and on paper they ought to be right around the top. The pitching staff appears to be a strong one, while the outfield and infield, seem all right and Gus Fisher is one of the best all around catchers In the league. Yet somehow, they don't seem to be up. 1 think the club is a lot better than the 1914 Portland club, which won the pennant, but I believe all of us, including Mac, agree that the Beavers that year were a lucky combination. Well, it goeB to show that they were: Take Martinoni, for instance, and Elmer Rieger. Both were released early the next year, yet both were winning pitchers the 1914 season. "There were no Guistos or Wllies or Southworths or Rothorons or Noyes on the Portland club that season, yet they don't seem to be ablo to make luck break their way this year. A certain element of luck is necessary for all championship ball clubs, whether In this league or the majors and if we don't get our share of It, of course, we can't win!" Let V Glre Him a Gold Medal. After skimming the eastern newspapers, one is inclined to think that the Chamber of Commerce should subsidize Louis Gulsto, sensational Portland first baseman. Louie has given Portland and Oregon more advertising than any individual from the state except the men at the national capital. Column after column has been written about the big fellow with speculation as to what major league club would finally land him. One of the latest commendatory articles is from the Philadelphia Evening Ledger, which gently pans both the Philadelphia clubs for not having made early efforts to secure "It never has been mentioned, had a chance to get Guisto while he lege, but either was advised that the attention to a tip given him by Eddie coaches the St. Mary's team early veloped Guisto. He wanted Manager Moran to take him, but as tho Phils had a scout on the coast at the time, Moran thought that the sccut would get Guisto if he looked good. "It is possible that Moran thought Burns was allowing his enthus iasm to run away with his better judgment, and paid no attention to thi tip. Burns then told Mack about be giaa to tane a cnance on tne first baseman with Mclnnls on hand, but Burns declared Guisto could play anywhere and surely would ever came of the tip, so far as the was picked up by Portland. "On the coast the youngster Is tnan nai cnase. inis is tne greatest compliment that could be paid a ball player, according to the fans of the far west, as they never will forget Chase's sensational work with the American league.

Mitchell Fanned , 7 Men in 1 Inning When Willi Mitchell learned that Guy Mortolv was somewhat set up over having struck out three men In one inning. Willie declared he had that beat to pieces. When he was pitching for San Antonio some w-hile ago, he says he struck out seven men in one inning. You might think that such a thing couldn't be done at all, but the fact was that Dolly Stark wa. catch ing and four of the strikeouts got down to first on dropped third strikes, and all 'lour finally scored.
