Football in the Northwest.


PORTLAND, Or, Aug. IA. = The Pacific
Northwest championship games are practi-
cally assured Portland. The games were
scheduled to come off in Seattle, September 10,
under the auspices of the Seattle Athletic
Club, but the only available grounds there
have been turned into bicycle track, with a
high-banked track which does not allow suff-
cient straightaway for part of the races, and
the banks are so high that runners could not
conveniently pass one another in the mile
run.
Both Seattle and Tacoma write that they
will have no football teams this season, due to
the fact that the sport is not sufficientlywell
ratroniZed on the sound as to encourage the
necessary effort and expense to get good teams
together. Port Townsend expects to play the
game as usual.
The Multnomahs were expecting to put an
unusually good team in the field this year, and
with that end in view the board of trustees
appointed Messrs. Sanderson Reed, Percy
Blyth, Wesley Ladd, T. j. Raley and Otto
Burckhardt as special football committee to

sound clubs will have on the sport as far as
Portland clubs are concerned, but it is not un-

SWIM MING.

Olympic Swimming Club Rises
Phoenix-Lik From Its Ashes.
Up to the first of last November pretty
fair swimming club existed within the
sacred confines of the Olympic Club build
ing, but owing to lack of cooperation on
the part of the officers it died natural
death.
Since that time the Olympic and Pacific
swimming clubs have, in a way, united
to give exhibitions at Sutro's Baths. Under
the new club management, to be inaugu-
rated in Septemp Der, the swimming annex
will be reorganized, and an especial
attempt made to revive the ladies' nights,
so popular during the last two or three
years.
These nights will be informal affairs,
with a short programme of features.
Prizes will be given for the various classes
of performers, and different kinds OF races
will be had.
Great preparations are being made for
the coming Pacific Coast championship
meeting, to take place at the Sutro Baths
on August go September and 13. Charles
Cavill, champion swimmer of Australia
who is on his way to England to compete
for the worlds championship, is in active
training at the Sutro Baths, and the local
champions will have their hands full to
defeat him at any distance up to 1000
yards. The coast championship race for
one-quarter mile is set for August &c. the
half-mile for September 6 and the 1000
yards for September 13. All the swimming
cracks from San Diego to Victoria are get
ting in trim for the forthcoming events
and the tournament is expected to prove
tn grandest natatorial occasion seen on
the coast for long time. ANY one de-
slrous of entering should send in his name
as soon asDpossible.

Various Species of Fish Hauled In
by Local Anglers.
Bay fishing continues good, and large
catches of rockcod, smelts and various
other kinds of the fnny tribe are daily
reported from the principal fishing
grounds.
Last Tuesday Fred Manson, the we'll
known angler, went out with companion
and caught 76 pounds of red and blue
rockcod at Cevallo. The largest was a
blue rockcod weighing 334 pounds. There
were five that weighed over pounds
each.
The same day Al Thompson and two
friends caught about 90'pounds of rockcod
in the region of the Lime Point fog
whistle.
Monday last Fred Barrett and COM
panion caught over 100 smelts at Target
Rock, opposite Sausalito, several of them
weighing from ~ to ~ pounds each, and
measuring from l6 to 18 inches in length.
Tomcods are getting quite plentiful, and
good catches have been made on the fish,
ing banks a few hundred yards off the
Sausalito shore.
Kingfish are also to be caught in the
same vicinity. The largest haul OF tom
Gods yet reported is one made few days
ago by @. Forrest.

In the perpetual challenge cup race to-
day the Fawn will be distinguished by the
letter "E," which is identified with
Eneinal, and the Catherine by the letter
''S. F" which represents San Francisco.
The Fawn, it is learned, will be manned
by the following crew: Captain, James T.
Rosseter; J. A. Landsberger, Edward
Holmes, L. Ward, George Dillman and
George Leonard.
The members of the syndicate owning
the Fawn are confident that in strong
breeze their boat will win. Her ballast
will hereafter be carried outside instead OF
inside, as new leaden shoe has been
placed on. A brand-new suit OF racing
and working sails were bent on the Fawn
this week, and now her owners are conf
dent that she is the fastest boat OF her size
in the bay.
At2P. NJ. the start will be made from
the narrow-gauge pier, and the race will
be over the Encinal course. II is expected
that with good stiff breeze the boats Will
traverse the course in about two and a
half hours.
J. Mattoon's new yacht will be launched
from Stones wavs at Belvedere in few
days. She is 33 feet over all and "a feet on

meetings to make a free passage through
the crowd. That is what the officers
should have done; that was their duty,

could not speak at ALL and arrested him,
probably for political reasons. The
