ber. In addition to these tournaments there will be the annual-tournament
of the Lewiston (Idaho) Gun club, the registered tourneys
of the Seattle Trapshooters' association and the annual fall tour

An effort is being made to arrange
. the Northwest dates so that eastern
shooters may attend all of the big:
tourneys, ending with the Portland
gathering, which has the earmarks
of the greatest event of Its kind ever
staged in the West.
Troeh and Heer Again
One of the' features planned for
' the Northwest shoot Is a return
match between Frank M. Troeh of
-Vancouver, Wash., ' high average
amateur of the "United States last
year, and William Heer. holder of
the national championship. Officials
of the Portland Gun club are work
ing out the details of the match and
wU make their announcement of it
. during the course of the next fort
night Portland trapshooters plan to add
$1200 In cash to the program the
largest amount ever added tof a pro
gram In the Northwest which with
the trophies, valued at $1000, will
make it the richest tournament ever
, staged on the Pacific coast.
State Shoot Flans
The directors of the club have not
... definitely decided upon the dates
of the shoot as yet. final action be
ing withheld until It Is decided
whether or not a Rose Festival will
. be staged this year.
The Oregon State championship
shoot will be staged In the eastern
part of the state for the first time
since the organization of the state
association and the officials of the
p Pendleton Gun club are leaving no
' atone unturned to make the session
one that will be remembered. Over
$1000 will be added to the proeram
In addition to the American Trap-
j shooters' association medals, the
Multnomah medal and the Charles
Letth trophy for the state doubles
championship.
Coming From Three States
Taklma sportsmen are endeavor
f ing to outdo the other Washington
-.. club in staging the championship
t tourney of that state and indications
are that -a large number of shooters
from . Oregon, Idaho and Montana
will enter.
The place and date of the Pacific
Indians' shoot has not beerrofficially
selected as yet, but a large number
of members of that organization
favor staging the event at Crescent
' Lake, where the 1918 tourney was
held.
Team Matches on Top
An effort is being made to have
the leading members of the Portland
Gun club. Green Lake Gun club of
Seattle and the Spokane Gun club
parUcipate in team matches on the
grounds of the respective organiza
tions. Peter J.-Holohan, the veteran pro
. fessional, is sounding the officials
of the Seattle and Spokane clubs on
the proposition and If plans do not
1 . miscarry, there will be home and
" home matches. If all clubs are
agreeable final details will be ar
ranged .by a committee representing
' each.
Champions Lire Here
The local club has a number of
shooters who can hold their own in
a team match, among them being,
of course, the present team "cham

Downs, Frank Templeton, J. W.

ATHLETIC fields as city or county

thj subject of adopting this form of

"It Is quite true that many of the

fields, bat very few can boast of a
first-class athletic field containing
a quarter-mile track Inclosing a field

able to point with pride to such a
field, where its youth could par

sports.
"It Is generally admitted that the
splendid physical condition, clean
body, clear mind and initiative of
our men In the great war were large

more practical and fitting memorial

sacrifice can be suggested to all

May Not Enter Team
The Portland Gun club may not

the officials of the institution have
not made their final decision as yet.
The local club holds the title, hav

GIRLS WILL GET
INTO BASKETBALL
GAMES WITH VIM
Two Leagues Will Open Compe
tition February 3 at Oregon
Agricultural College.
Oregon Agricultural College, Corval
lis, Jan. 25. The "flu" bug has ceased
to operate at the college and now the
basketbal fever holds full sway. Even
the young women have caught it and
demanded a series of Intramural games.
Decision was made at a special meet
ing of representatives of women's or
ganizations to form two basketball
leagues, the-contests to begin February
3. Miss Edith Welbourne of the physic
al department will have general charge.
One league will be composed of teams
from Waldo and Cauthorn halls, from
the freshmen, sophomore, junior and
senior classes, and one picked from the
downtown girls. The varsity squad
will play in the series simply for prac
tice. Tl? other league will be com
posed of quintets from the 11 sororities.
One girl from each group has been ap
pointed to -take charge of the work of
organizing" the team.
ACCORDING i to Golfing, an English
publication, difficulty is being ex
perienced, in the British Isles in getting
both golf clubs and balls. This is what
J. H. Taylor, many times champion cf
Great Britain, said: "I tried to buy
600 clubs last week. Two of the biggest
firms in Scotland would not look at
the order. A - finished hickory shaft,
without the head or anything else,
used to cost from 6d. to 9d. It is now
7s. 6d which is surely a record price
for any article. It will pay golfers to
look after their clubs very " carefully,
if, they have trusted sets, for I under
stand we are not likely to get hickory
for this purpose for a year or more."
This same publicaUon carries an ad
vertisement from a well-known golf
ball manufacturing concern, carefully
explaining why It has felt compelled
to increase the price of golf balls this
year. The Increase had to be made,
the ad says in effect, or else this situa
tion was faced : either reduce the .quali
ty, or, maintain both tHe price and
rtnaittv and lose money.

HERRMANN
KEEPS HIS
OLD CHAIR
Split of Majors and Minors Gives
Garry Chance to Keep His
Position.
NEW YORK, Jan. 25. Garry Herr
mann may not be unseated as chair
man of the national commission after
all.
He is still serving In his time-honored
capacity as the head of the tri
bunal, and despite all that has been
said, about the need of a change, it
will not bo surprising to see him still
on the job when another year rolls
around.
Johnson Wins Another
Bah Johnson won another victory
when the major league magnates de
cided to retain Herrmann "temporari
ly" while looking for a successor. He
apparently found little opposition to his
plan, for although the National league
had previously gone on record for a
new chairman, it tagged right along
with the American when the case came
to a showdown.
"Some of the magnates who have been
advocating the selection of a new and
neutral member for the commission
have admitted that their one objection
to Herrmann was the fact that he is a
club owner. And In the same- breath
they have added that he has served
fairly and faithfully.
Little Chance Now
Now that the majors and minors have
abrogated the National agreement, and
the work of the National commission
will be confined to major league cases
alone, the only chance of Herrmann los
ing out will be action on the part of
the National league.
As the matter, stands today it is said
on good .authority that the American
league will not Insist on speed in search
for a new man, and will be slower still
in passing upon his selection.
Old League Started It
The mystery of the whole thing lies
in the fact that the National leaguers,
who have admittedly held an advantage
in having two of their number on the
commission, if there has been an ad
vantage anywhere, were the ones who
really started agitation for a change.
And no satisfactory explanation has
been made for this stand to date.
rvESPITE the fact that Pacific coast
teams have on several occasions
demonstrated their superiority over
eastern 'elevens in this section of the
country, football is held to be inferior
to that played on the Atlantic coast.
It has been suggested that the winner
of the Pacific Coast Intercollegiate con
ference make a trip east next fall. This
is a mighty good suggestion and it
would give the eastern fans a chance
to get a line on the players developed in
the west.
The Pacific coast players have never
been properly rated by eastern critics.
Up to the last three or four years
they were entirely overlookd.
The University of Pittsburg football
schedule for the 1919 season Is as fol

pions of the Pacific coast this fall, has

letic council of the Pullman- institu

Amonty, France, Dec. 26, 1918.
Dear Bob : Well, Christmas day is
a thing of the past and can go down
with the rest of the junk like the
armistice and peace talk, as they
are not seending us where we want
to go home. We have seen all of
France that we care to see, and we
really want to .get home, as the
last year has been a blank to me.
In French Army Style
We had another ride In the
French style of traveling. You
have heard of It before, only this"
time we had the pleasure of riding
in good old U. S. A. boxcars. But
boxcars are boxcars, whether
French or Yank. It sure will be
great to go home in Pullmans. I
really don't think the gang will
know how to act when we do get
into them.
You talk about Christmas ! This
one has been of the kind you read
about or see In the movies taken at
Los Angeles. It had all the snow
and cold you wanted, and the bells
were, making all the noise in the
world until they got snowed under.
We had nice billets to sleep In
yea, bo ! Old barns, with long-haired
rats trying to eat your nose off.
If you took off your coat, you froze,
stiff.
Was Good Old Yuletlde
Christmas morning we received
candy and stuff, and the guys that
were lucky got their box from home
and a flock of mail. Boy, It felt
good to get it, as it was the only
thing that made some feel that it
W'as a day out of tho ordinary.
And in the evening the vin joints
sure had a big night- It made me
think of the days before they hoist

OF THE SEASON
We are still on edge. We heard
the other day that we were to be
sent to the border to .relieve some
of the troops' up there. I sure wish
they would get fhe hook3 out and
send ' us up or let us go home. I
really don't care much about this
trip up' to the land of sauer kraut
and pretzels. Let 'em send up the
battling M. P.'s and the Y, as they
say In the .ljOr S. Who won the
war? Why, the M. P.'s. They went
over the top and the Y threw over
a big barrage of chocolate.
No Place for Swimmers
Say, bo, you dorft know what cold
is until you put in a night in one
of these, billets. You hato to get up,
as every move -is a picture. Trying
to shave is like taking a dose of
army C. C.'s. I sure would like to
see that gang of water nymphs
that used to take the Christmas dip
at home try the line over here. I
used to be great for that cold water
propaganda when I was home. I
even hate to wash in the morn now.
Sometimes I think I'll wait till the
first of January and take a good
wash, and that will be enough .to
last until I get home. I sure would
like to see some of the John Hang
overs try this billeting stuff. They
would put in with what Sherman
said about this war game.
I was reading an article in the
paper about the French maids steal
ing all the love from the Yankee
girls, and that the boys are ail crazy
for them. But don't let our little
girls worry, as I don't think any of
tho boys will bo trotting any of
them to the Rose City.
What Makes a Balnbow
One cap said that the French
girls have such winning ways, that
they were loving and sympathetic
and had necks like tho rainbow, I
think different. I think they like
your francs and the eats, and as for
the rainbow neck, that's wrong, as
I know they never wash over the
high-water mark, and where no
water hits no rainbows can form.
Right-o !
Well, Bob, it's so darned cold I
can't write a thing, as I can't get
the old ivory to working. But as
soon as this "sunny France" gets
to working I'll know more. So tell
the folks to keep the home fires
burning, as all of the boys like hot
pies. Yours, STEPP."

UMPQUA IN
ARMS OVER
: USING NET
Roseburg Sportsman's Club Will
. Lead Attack on Bill Said to
Favor Seiners.
DPSEBURG,. Or., Jan. 25. The Rose-
burg Sportsmen's ciub and the mem
bers from 'all of the upper river coun
try tributary to the Umpqua river are
up in arms over a new bill that has
been introduced at Salem to change the
fishing season on the Lower Umpqua.
The bill was introduced by Represen
tative S. 'A, Hughes of Salem. That it
is a measure for-the commercial , fish
ermen Is a foregone , conclusion, assert
the sportsmen, when the bill is one
that affects ouly Douglas county and
they have . to go outside the county to
get it placed before the lawmakers.
The laws that govern fishing' on the
Lower Umpqua are already giving the
commercial fishermen 75 per cent or
more of the fish, it is held, and the
new , law asking for a closed season
from February 15 to April 15 means
the commercial fishermen will take
them all, as the proposed closed sea
son is at a time when very few fish
(chinook salmon) run up tho river,
The Closed Season '
The closed season now for net fish
ing is from April 15 to May 15, thus
permitting part of the first run of
salmon to get up the river, so that
the majority of the people of the
county may have a chance to get a
few fish. There re no canneries on
the upper river, and very little fishing
with nets. Practically all of the fish
are caught with trolls, affording some
sport for the great majority of the
people living in Douglas county, as well
as fish for food where the present mar
ket prices prohibit.
Another provision of the new bill Is
the unrestricted fishing with nets,
seines and other appliances of "any
mesh" at "any time" on the Umpqua
river between the Southern Pacific
bridge at Reedsport and the ocean, ex
cept from February 15 to April 15. This
is held to. bo . but a blind to the pre
tense of a closed season, for but very
little if any fishing would be done at
that time. '
Would Close Hatchery
Besides depriving the ' people, of the
county of fish, it would necessitate the
closing of the hatchery' at Glide, as no
salmon would get up the river to sup
ply the eggs for hatching, the. anglers
complain. The sportsmen think that
the people, and not a monopoly, should
rule, and that a fair law should prevail,
they assert.
LES GALBRAITH, the Independence
horseman, whose stable is known on
practically every track in tho United
States, has returned from Olympia,
where hie has been assisting in acquaint
ing the Washington legislature with the
new racing commission measure to be
introduced in the Washington legis
lature. .
"It looks very much to me as if the
bill, which is a splendid one for the prop
agation of the thoroughbred horse, will
go through," he said. "Some of tho big
best men in the state of Washington are
lending their support and everybody is
working hard for the' passage of the
measure.
"If the bill goes-through Washington
will see the rebirth of racing under con
ditions that prevail in the East, with the
bookmaker gone. The pari-mutuei sys
tem will be used.
"What we -want in. our own stats is
a resumption of racing, harness and flat,
on the smaller Oregon tracks, such as In
dependence Eugene. , Canby, Gresham,
Baker and elsewhere. With the close of
the war. things look- good for a great year
in racing. The war brought out the fact
that this government has not paid
enough attention to the breeding of
thoroughbred runners and blooded draft
horses for cavalry and battery work."

surrender of ; tho Harlem River Speed

Portland Club Links Urged as Site for Next City Championship
' by Many Golfers of City; Waveriey, Portland and jTualatln
. 1 Plan Home and Home Matches for Valuable Trophies.
THE Oregon state golf championship tournament of "1919 will
in all probability, be staged 6n the course at Gearhart,(Or.,
during the month of August.
It has been customary to hold the title events during the latter
part of summer and it is the general opinion among devotees of
the gam.e thaf the. Gearhart course would be morcvattractivc for
the staging of this event than others, provided some improve
ments were made. :- . ' . : :
By staging the tourney at Gearhart sonle followers. of' lhi
game contend that a larger number of outside entries could be
secured, as three years ago the state tourney there brought out
some very excellent golf. With some improvement work the
Gearhart course could be put into excellent shape. No state
tourney was staged during last year, but indications are that
there will be a great revival of interest this season. ."'-
The chairmen of the
handicap
committees of the three. local ' clubs
will get together in the near future
apd arrange for the staging of the
stato and city championships as
well as interclub -affairs.
Portland May Get Chance
The city championships will be
held either on the course of the
Waveriey Country club or the Port
land Golf club. Several of, the lead
ing players of the city, have ex
pressed a desire' to see this event
staged on the links at Raleigh sta
tion, which are being put into grand
shape under the supervision of C.
C. Gross, chairman - of the greens
committee, and Harry Pratt, the -club,
professional. , ' j-
The fairways of the new nine
holes are being widened. New
seeds have been planted and. all
of the fairways have been re
rolled. The underbrush is being .
cleared.
The Portland club is following
out the plan in vogue among the
big clubs of the East, and that
is the placing of extra teeing places
on each fairway. New grass tees
have been established on ' each
fairway which will enable the
players to take advantage of
weather conditions, except In cham
pionship matches, when all play
?iust be from the tee fartherest
rom the hole. '
STew Bunkers Coming. Up i v
New bunkers are being con-
i structed in the lairways on account
of the changes made by the widen
ing of them.
All of this work will be com
pleted in time to permit the stag
ing of the city tournament during
the 'latter part of spring.
As there has been no champion
ship play over the Portland course,
it is expected that a large number
of players would enter for the pur
pose of trying out the course,
which, when thoroughly constructed,
will rank with the best on the
coast.
Home and Home Matches
Teams representing the Waver
iey Country club, the Portland Golf
club and the Tualatin Country club
will meet in home and home
matches for one of the most beau
tiful trophies ever offered . in golf
competition in this city. The
matches will be held as soon as
the upper nine holes of the Tuala
tin Country club links are ready
for play.
. Kach club will be represented by
a team of either 12 or 15 players,
the number . to be fixed when the
various handicap committee . chair- -men
meet and settle upon the .
dates.
The matches will be over 18-holes
and under the Nassau system of
scoring, the team making the
greatest number of points to be
come possessor of the trophy.
Municipal Course Suggested
In view of the ract that the
golfers of the Portland club won
the trophy which that institution .
offered for the winner of' the three-
cornered team match over the Port-
land links, ahd the Waveriey play- '
ers won the trophy for a similar
competition over the Waveriey
course, it has been suggested that
the teams of these clubs play a
match over the municipal course in
Eastmoreland to determine , . the
question of supremacy. A contest
of this nature would attract a
great deal of attention, it is held.
The talk of a Pacific-coast golf
association has been ; received in
San Francisco and Seattle.."
Without doubt here is need for '
a golf association' on the Pacific
coast. Lack of interest killed the
old Pacific Coast Golf association, "
which was formed in 1900, but
since that . time the royal and an- -
"ft takes quality id
make a real bargain.
