But He Tailed to Down the Astorians. Who Retnrn In Triumph This Horninr. Tacoma, Sept. 19, '89. The 1889 tournament of the north western firemen's association is over, and the visitors to-night shake from their shoes the dust of Tacoma, those from Astoria returning not as sheep who were shorn;, but as victors with scalps at their belts. An Astorian who was not present can have no idea of the the trickery, stu pidity and unfairness attempted. J. D. Rainey, the man who by some strange freak of fortune chanced to be chief of the fire department of this city at a time when the largest number of delegations of firemen ever visited any northwestern city to take part in a tournament that might have been a grand success had it not been for his asinine folly in trying to outbeat men who came here calmly and fairly in friendly rivalry, but who at last became a little angered'at his antics. Ignorance is often excusable, but after he had had the rules' explained to him and was shown the governing law fh the case his ignorance changed to defiance, "To hell with vour rules," said he to the editor of Thk Astokian. "I am running this tournament.'' He came near run ning it into the ground, and had it not been for the forbearance of the Astoria delegation who when smitten on one cheek turned the other, grave trouble would have arisen. It was not till yesterday morning that with the aid of his own department who deeply felt the shame attached to their city that the Astoria boys succeeded in making him shut up and realize that he was only one man, a plain ordinary hu man not endowed with the attributes of the Almighty. AS SOON AS HE SUBSIDED Peace spread her snowy wings, and har mony reigned supreme. Mr. Burbank, the gentlemanly and ef ficient secretary of the association, who had been in a most difficult and delicate position, came to the front and on be half of the Tacoma fire department and the citizens of that enterprising city, pledged his word that the prizes would be honored by warrants from him in ac cordance with the deoisions of the judges. All Astoria had asked at any time was a fair-show, and an equal chance with the other eleven teams in competing for the various contests. Yesterday, to se cure peace, it beoame necessary to fight for it. In self defense, one of the visitors, Tom Linvillo, struck a big bully of "a police man." This was Tacoma's chance; it was the only contest Tacoma had any show of winning. He was hauled this evening before an individual called a "justice of the peace," named Best, who Bested Lin ville in the face of reliable testimony by fining him one hundred dollars and costs for striking a bully in self defense. That was the Best and worst he could do. ' This is the only contest Tacoma won. though the game was made up differ ently. liet it be duly announced, lacoma won one raoe the race between fair play and private revenge, in Best's fining nn Astorian $1CD and costs for keep ing uaci: a ouuy wno aisgracea tno star he wore. It was not until THE DBY TEST BACE Had been awarded to Vancouvers, of B. C, a fine team and deserving of great E raise, that Tacoma woke up. Astorians ad offered to bet them that they wouldn't bet that they were alive, and nad josueu them on tueir lack of pand, in vain; but as soon as Vancouver had been given first money in the dry test, the local sports put up all they had or could pool or borrow on Vancouvers beating As toria in the association championship. l'l?0 nflrft Aofnnfltin TrfVirt nun nlmnnn ready to back their team, a chance to get more than even; a chance they were not slow to avail themselves of, and a blanker crowd was never seen whenAs toria's crack team, the pride of our city, sped down tho track; "look at the fish ermen," ''see those of " was the courteous cry. But when the record beaters' time was announced "1.09 3-5," there fell a holy hush, and the loudest of the lot groaned inwardly. Then came the Vancouvers, wildly cheered, "Lord Dundrearv" capering nimbly alongside; time, "1 15 3-5. 'The subsequent proceedings inter ested them no more." This evening a handsome testimonial was presented Secretary Burbank as a token of appreciation and esteem on be half of the visiting firemen. THE ASTOBIA CHAMPIONS. Considerable amusement was afforded Astorians to-night upon the arrival of the Oregonian, which proclaimed in big head lines, all same "Astoria Must Wait," last July, that "Canadians Can Run," and that- the Vancouver team had got away with both the wet and the dry test. In 'the absence of authentic informa tion 1 he Oregonian, which never loses a chance to hit Astoria a whack, might and should have delayed such announce ment, which was false and misleading. But those of us who knew the facts could afford to smile, for the judges, by a majority vote, decided that Astoria got time, 34 1-10., and the first prize, $!, 000. So that up to present writing the Astoria team has won the championship and $1,800. A TACOMA ACCO.UNT. This evening's News, a paper that has given the Astoria team half a show in its reports, publishes the' following1 regard ing to-day's hilarity: "The fair name of Tacoma came very near being tarnished and the firemen's tournament breaking up in a row this morning. TheJYakima avenue race course was crowded with spectators, the band played gleefully, the heavens were as bluo as the waters of the bound, and the sun shine bright, but a great big, black cloud nung over the situation here be low, and only the presenoe of the police avoided the necessity of sending for an ambulance and a corns of nhvsioians to patch up broken noses, red, white and blue eyes, fractured, limbs and lacerated faoes. As the racers and fighters -wear tights, ten to one against Astoria, there would also have been immediate need of a seamstress. "The crowd was there, and the h03e carts, and so was chief Rainey with both feet and a new uniform. The chief has declared yesterday, to-day and the day before yesterday that he was running this tournament, and ho advised the teams not to allow their memories to' loso their grip on that. .fact. There has been an impression in the mind, of chief Rainey md several teams from abroad that the Astoria team and lobby, famil iarly called the fish catchers, were try ing not only to boss thing3 generally, but to go hog on the prizes. They muugub maw iub juuee irom Astoria, the judge from Petaluma, and. the judge from a place south of the City of Destiny which is still allowed to retain a place on the map under the name of Portland, had been "fixed" in the interest of As toria, or if not fixed, prejudiced. The northwestern firemen's -association is supposed by some to rise, shine and have its being in Astoria, but whether this is true or not tho northwestern firemen's association ..without Astoria would be like a mule without anything to make it kick." "Chief Rainey said this morning that the races shouldn't proceed otherwise mn under tha "111163 nreuared. minted fend signed. 'Tor farther particulars apply to chief J. D. Rainey, Tacoma, W. T. "Then Astoria rose up and howled. They contended that the tournament was being held by the northwestern fire men's association, and that Rainey's ac tion was mutiny and selfish. They claimed that the tournament was opened under association rules and could not ba; conducted or continued legally other wise. Chief Rainey stood with his six feet of blue uniform on the curbstone overlooking the surging, agitated mass' of firemen and spectators, and declared that tho races should not go on except under his "general tournament rules." Ho had the money for tho prizes in the bank in his own name, and he wanted it understood that a copper of it could not be obtained without his order, unless everybody had a fair show and all wero satisfied. . "The newly elected president of the northwestern association is B. S. Wors ley, of Astoria. President Worsley was all over the track, sometimes at the same instant. He vowed the races should pro ceed under association rules, and that if Rainey would not pay over the prize money, the officers of the association would be personally responsible for the payment of the prizes to tho successful teams. He ordered the track to be cleared, and the Corvallis team to get ready for the first run in the association championship race. "This order appeared likely to cause some muscular trouble. Rainey turned a few shades paler. The Astoria boys grabbed their hose wrenches, nozzles, straps and clubs with a tighter grip, and stood at the baok of the president from Astoria. Both sides looked threatening, and a personal encounter seemed immi nent. -Rainey walked over to the police' and ordered them to let no one run on tho track unless he said so. The police knew hardly what to do. They were in structed on the one side by the presi dents the association to clear the track' for the races, and on the other by Rainey not to let them proceed. The band played "Come and Kis3 Me, Mother Dear," and the police paused and listened appeal ingly to the music, while Council man TJhLman and several ladies among the spectators were affected to tears. "After this order went out from the chief tho Astoria contingent, the Astoria president, the board of directors and the Astoria judges, held a seance down at the finishing, end of the race course. They sat down on the bank and gazed reflectively and undeciaively on the beautiful mud fiats and the dirty snow on Mt. Tacoma. Then they ro3e up as one man, and proceeded up the raoe course. President Worsley sheuted: 'The tournament is off. Chief Rainey refuses to allow the races to proceed, and has instructed tho police to arreet racers who attempt to use the track I' "This announcement was not made in one breath. President Worsley paused and spat it out in sections. "The spectators on the grand stand looked disappointed. They had assem bled and paid CO cents to see either a first class rough and tumble-fight, with a few races on the side, and at appeared that they were not gping to see either, although there did appear to be a little prospect for a fight yet. EAIN'EY WEAKENS AT LAST. "To have the tournament break up in a row in the middle of the programme was a result which even the Astorians did not desire, and the announcement of the president caused many to pause and reflect. Another meeting was called in tho hose house, and ' it was held with closed doors, while the crowd waited breathlessly on the outside, as though expecting to hear pistol shots or a crash of furniture within. After about fifteen minutes conference the doors of tho chamber of secrecy and deliberation were thrown open, and it was annoanced that the raoes would proceed under the rules of the Northwestern Firemen's as sociation. Mr. Rainey came down off the curbstone, all took harmony and good will into consideration, and the re sult was a unanimous vote to proceed with the races under association rules." This tells a part of the story from a Tacoma standpoint, and is, in the main, correct, except that Astoria had no lob by, and no pull on the judges or any body else. Astoria's advantage lay in the fact that it had the best team on the ground, and its offense consisted in refusing to allow itself to be beaten. Chief of police Chesney is a good of ficer and a well meaning man, but ho has a lot of hounds under him calling them selves policemen, whom he can't con trol, and who get their pull from the city council. One of them said to the writer that no betting or gambling could bo allowed, it wasn't right. Without questioning the social ethics or moral pnnoiple involved in the police man's statement the writer offers to show that officer or any other polios officer, or anyone else m Taooma, where -six gambling games are running wide open, within a stone's throw of where he put np while hero (the Hotel Fife). How surprised chief Chesney, or his underlings will be to learn this! to be :eeg.betted. To one interested in tho efficiency of the fire departments of the northwest, it is a matter of regret that the northwest ern firemen's association is a manifest failure. The original idea was a splendid one to get together and discuss topics of in terest and concern as to the best way of battling with the common enemy; then to meet in friendly rivalry and have contesta of skill and award trophies and prizes to'the victors. But that is lost sight of. There is no disoussion of topics, no resultant good; a few crack teams meet, run, win what they can, and go home none the better, if not some the worse for the, strain of physical contest and the' unavoidable surroundings. Probably the best . thing to do is to separate the convention and the tourna ment; hold them at different times and S laces wide apart: either that or quit, obody is any better firetnan beoausp of this tournament, now closing; some are not so good. Ever since the tournament at Salem in 188b the intention and the results of these annual meetings bave been directly oppaite. Meanwhile, let Astoria, as usual, crown the victors with laurels on Saturday morning; the boys deserve it; nothing but the hardest kind of work on the race track enabled them to secure the success they have so justly and proudly won.
