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.
