Although the tournament does not officially open until Monday, a num ber of the local shooters will partici pate in the regular Sunday practice shoot, which will start at 10 o'cock. The regular practice event will start at 9 o'clock Monday morning and will consist of four 25-bird events. In this event the Rose system of divid ing the winnings will prevail.

The entrance in the double targets event Is $2. On the second day of the tourna ment, the shooters will participate In the Paciflo coast special and the preliminary handicap,, and on the third day the program calls for the Pacific coast overture and the Paciflo coast handicap. Shooters may participate in the reg ular program events for targets only and be eligible In win any of the three trophies offered by the Inter state association. Shooters winning trophies ,Jn one event will not be eli gible to win trophies in other events. Rules of the Shoot. he regular program events have been arranged for the special benefit of the beginner and mediocre shot. With the low entrance fees and the losses paid back each day under the Squler money-back system, it is not possible for the expert shot to en rich himself in these events at the expense of the less skillful contest ant. The optional sweeps on each regular program event, divided on the high gun system, provide competition for the more skillful shot who wants to take a chance of winning larger amounts than called for by the regu lar division. The optional sweeps on the Paclflo coast Introductory, the Paciflo coast special, the Pacific coast overture, the first day's program and the three days' program, all divided on the high eun system, provide competition "for Young Men Southeast Corner 5th and Alder of the Eleventh Annual pacific Coast Park traps of the Portland Gun club.

They are, of course, up against It in a certain way because they must finish the season in the west by tackling four of the toughest clubs in Ban John son's league. But the Sox aren't the crackable kind. They may lose a little of their advantage on their tour, but I feel confident that they won't be headed.' S. F. Boys to Play Rugby.

BUSY SEASON-IS EXPECTED THIS YEAR Off ALLEYS Coming of Northwest Interna tional Tournament Revives Interest in 10-Pin Game. In view of the fact that the annual Northwest International Bowling con gress will be staged in Portland next April, there Is a great revival of Inter est in the ten-pin game. Indications are that there will be more ten-pin leagues here this season than ever be fore, a large number of the duck pin ners having taken to the big pins. The City league tnls season will be an eight team organization, and It Is more than likely that one half of the games will be rolled on the Oregon alleys and the other half on the Port land alleys. A meeting of the City leaguers will probably be held within the next fortnight. A new team pin league, to be known as the Auto Tire league, Vas organised last week. The teams are Archer & Wiggins, Ballou & Wright, Chanslor tt Lyon, Flak Rubber Co., Firestone Tire Co., and Goodyear Tire Co. The league has adopted a 90-game schedule, begin ning September 22 on the Oregon alleys. The Commercial league bowlers held a meeting at the Oregon alleys last Thursday night and preliminary plans for the reorganization of the league were discussed. Another meeting has been called for September 20. All bowlers of the 170 average class are requested to attend. The Printing Trades league will have a ten-pin league tnls season ana are sdheduled to roll on the Portland al leys. Other leagues that ara being formed to roll at the Portland alleys are the Automobile, O-W. R. & N. and Fraternal. A special ten-pin match will be rolled Tuesday night" on the Oregon alleys between the Zerolene team and the Guardian Casualty Co. quintet. Total pins will decide the winner. The Job Printers Duck fin league is the only small ball league organised thus far this season. There are a num- ber of other duck pinners who are anx ious to roll this season and it is likely Chat an Independent league will be formed. . Fred Hull of the Blumauer-Franx team showed a burst of speed on the Oregon alleys last week by hanging up a 280 score, the highest of the present season. Ray Watklns surprised tne cue pin men bv hanging up a 14 score last week. He also registered several scpres over ths 1J0 mark. Jennings Claims Rag For His Jungaleers Tfew Tork. Sept. I.

Accordingly he looks to Ameri ca tor his fresh opponents. Since Dar cy put it over Dave Smith with a knockout, the only Australian to talk fighting him does not consider himself irrevocably out of the fight game. "Old Bill"has the world's most amaz ing; record of defeats. He has been licked by all the best fighters in the worlds Jack Johnson, Sam Langford, Tommy Burns and Sam McVea. Lang's proposition to "come back" and fight Darcy has not yet taken serious shape. "Meantime, the-re are possible en gagements for Darcy against George 9hip, the heavyweight Tom McMahon, possibly Art. Maglll. and may be a second time with Buck Crouse and Jimmy Clabby. George Chip is now on his way to Australia. He will reach Sydney in about a fortnight, and should be ready to fight the champion during the big spring racing carnival in this city a time when the rich sports gather from all corners of the 1,000,000 square miles of Australasia. The Australian fans are thoroughly familiar with, Chip's record, especially his great days of 1913-14, when he was knocking out . Frank Klaus, Al McCoy, Billy Murray, and Sailor Petroskey. and his fights in this country should Insure aim a tremendous roll-up at good admission prices. ' If McMahon shows well against our big fellows, Darcy will not scruple to give away the weight for - him. Whether Maglll will share the lime light and gate money with the cham pion, depends also on how he shapes in other matches; he himself is anxi ous to try the ordeal. A return be tween Buck Crouse and Darcy likewise depends on the story of a coming match (the second one) between Crouse and Dave Smith." Has Subluxation of Lumbar Vertebrum The ailment that afflicts Howard Drew, world's champion 100 yard sprinter, is subluxation of the fourth lumbar vertebrum. Drew, In a letter, declares that the trouble translated in real English means that he has strained a spinal cord which resulted in partial and only temporary paralysis. Til be as fit as a fiddle soon again," wrote Drew. "The trouble is n&t per manent and I am told that after It goes away I won't feel any harmful effects."

All the Angels would have found necessary was the borrowing of an engine and a couple of Pullmans to get anywhere they wanted. And the reason? They have a complete train crew on the ball club, if you wish to know. Pitcher Jack Ryan Is a locomotive engineer and still holds his member ship In the brotherhood, entitling him to go back to the choo-choo when his baseball days are over. Outfielder Harl Maggert is a train conductor and holds a card In the conductors' brotherhood. . Harry Wolter Is an express messenrer and used to work out of San jose on tne southern pacific The quizzical may think this train crew couldn't get alone without a wreck or something because It might need be no worry, innelder Jim Galloway will see to that.

ED PFEFFER'S FAILURE SENDS SCARE TO TEAM Big Righthander Kept Brook lyn in Race Earlier in the Season, The failure of "Big Ed" Pfeffer has struck terror to the hearts of the pen nant chasing Dodgers. The huge right hander kept the Brooklynltes in the fight from the start. It was upon his mighty wing that the main hopes of Ebbets' crew was centered in the final drive for the bunting. And now Pfeffer has gone wrong. For nearly a month he has been pitch ing In-and-out mostly . out baseball. The clubs that once were toys in his hands have suddenly solved his twist ers and have driven them to the far corners and Pfeffer to the shower. When ths Dodgers swung westward It was felt that Pfeffer would be the one factor in enabling them to hold their lead, but he failed. And so, with- ths big gun in their defensive artillery spiked, with Daubert out of the game probably for the rest of the seaso.i, McCarty. the hard hitting catcher, gone, and Johnston, the. outfielder, on the Injured list, the Dodgers are in gloom.

One by one the var sity veterans have been drifting in from the fishing grounds end the harvest fields with word of others yet to come. Only the two Johnnies, Tarsons and Beckett, ar yet to be accounted for. Though no word has come through from Beckett, the captain-elect, for over a" month, it is thought certain he will be answering "present" before practice has advanced many days. The big tackle amuses himself during the summer tossing wheat sacks In the Heppner county and the late har vest will probably keep him from col lege until the last minute. Farso&s Zs Tet Vnoertala. Parson's return Is a fifty-fifty bet The former captain has not been heard from at Eugene since the middle of the summer, but it Is known that he was seriously considering qualifying for a diploma. Parsons was ill during his first year and has had only three seasons of varsity ball. His return would mean a 25 point jump In the team's stock. Then the varsity from front to back and end to end would be a conference tried dreadnought. Without Parsons there will b only three tried backfleld men and a dearth of sophomore material from which to draft. "Shy" Huntington returned Wednesday. On "Shy" will fall the responsibility of the backfleld. Calling signals, place kicking and forward pausing will go to make up his con tribution.
