KELLY WILL NOT WEAR
MULTNOMAH CLUB C0L0RS
Declines Offer Made Him by Portland
asd Intends Wearing Emblem
of Eugene, His Home
Town

PORTLAND, Ore, Aug 16.-Dan Kelly
will not run at jamestown under the col
ors of the Multnomah club. A letter
carrying this information was received
today by President Mcmillan of the club
the sender being President Campbell of
the University of Oregon. The merchants
of Eugene have raised a fund with which
to send Kelly and Trainer Hayward to
the big fair, and though the board of
directors had already voted to give Kelly
the money, the champion sprinter decided
to accept the offer of the Eugene mer-
chants and to run under the colors of the
University of Oregon.
The choice of the colegian will give
some disappointment to the Multnomah
directors, as the club has done much
for Kelly For some time there has
been some feeling among club members
against the athlete because he ignored
a letter sent him several months ago by
George w. Simons. then president of
the club, commencing his work at Spo-
kane last year and asking if he would
run under the colors of the club at
jamestown. Kelly never answered the
letter
A few weeks ago. however, he wrote
to H. w. Kerrigan insinuatng that he
would be glad to accept the offer. The
directors then appropriated the money
to send him, but instead of accepting it
he has taken the opportunity afforded
by the citizens of Eugene to represent
his university.

RICH DIAMOND FIELD is
DISCOVERED IN ARKANSAS
EXPERT SAYS HE HAS FOUND
GEMS "lN PLACE"
Field Is Many Miles South of Glacial
Moraine's Southern Point.
Find Is Regarded as
Remarkable

. NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-Unless all expec-
tations fail Americans may soon be wear
ing diamonds found on American, not
English, soil. This statement is made on
the authority of DR.. George F. Kunz,
probably the, foremost authority on dia-
monds in this country He has just re-
turned from a careful two months in
vestigation of the new field, which is situ
ated in Pike county, in southwestern Ar
kansas.
Only when it is stated there is no other
locality in the United States where dia-
monds are found Sin place" can the great
Importance of this discovery be under
stood. In short, the new region is the
first real American diamond field to be
discovered. Its 600 acres are owned by
Arkansas men.
Every chance of discovering a new dia-
mond field Is so eagerly accepted by eX-
perts that this eagerness has given rise to
all sorts of attempts to mislead them by
sailing schemes. A succession of disap-
pointments of this sort had made dia-
mond men wary, so tnat when it became
known last summer that diamonds had
been found in Arkansas the matter was
carefully investigated.
DR.. Kunz, accompanied by DIR. H S.
rapher, visited the region and made a
careful survey of the field. Within the
last few years DIR. Kunz has followed up
every discovery of a diamond in the
United tSates with the hope that a new
region worth while would be found. Dis
coveries in Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana
and Ohio were investigated, and in every
case 1t was ascertained that the occur
renee of the stone was unusual and it's
discovery was explained by the fact that
1t was in the glacial moraine and had
been carried down from some other field
in Canada.
The Pike county field is several hundred
miles south of the southern line of the
glacial moraine. so the possibility of the
occurrence being of the same nature as
those farther north was at once dis
missed DR.. Kunz said today that he
was fully satisfied that an American
diamond fieIu had at length been dis
covered.

ALTO CHUGS FROM
PEKIN TO PARIS
MOUNTAINS OVER
TRAILS
CROSSES
Prince Scipio Borghese Makes Trip to
Win Hundred Thousand Francs.
Beats All CameIs' Records
on Deserts

The camel with his numerous stomachs
substitute has been found for crossing
the desert wastes of Central Asia and
the mountain heights of eastern Russia.
Prince Scipio Borghese has made the
trip from Peking to Paris in two months
in his little black chug wagon, where
the Tartars of Macaulay took as many
years to make the trip, with all the
Russian hordes at their back to hustle
them along.
And Prince Scipio does not seem to
be much the worse for wear and claims
to have enjoyed the trip. He is little
tanned and his clothes are in tatters
He claims to weighs fourteen pounds less
than when he started. But then that was
what was expected by the gay Partisan
crowd that awaited him.
His two French adversaries in their
Dien cars arrived several days later in
Paris and are also receiving many ova-
tions The car driven by the prince is
an Italia, made especially for the trip.
The race was for 100000 francs offered
by LIE Matin.
The race. in which the prince was ac-
companied by his wife, is one OF the
most severe endurance runs ever under
taken by motor cars.
The prince is very modest, out aufhlts
having had many thrilling experiences
His machine was carried on the shoul-
ders of coolies across whole province
where it was impossible to move wheeIeo
vehicles. More than 6000 francs were eX-
pended in passing a single mountain
range. Roads could not be found during
a greater part of the trip.
The peasants in one Russian village,
thinking the automobile to be an EVIL
spirit. stoned it as the prince drove along:
The natives in Central China were seized
with fear whenever the queer little ouzz
buggy hove in sight stealing across the
plains. 49,.
The machine was built narrow so that
II could follow trails and sled roads
After entering Russia the royal chau1eur
made his way by the government post

ALASKA is GOOD
FOR BALL PLAYERS
VACATION TIME BRINGS HOME
EASY MONEY
One Pitcher Gets Eighty Dobies for
Winning Game and Nineteen
When He Strikes
Man Out

SEATTLE, Aug. 16.-Alaska is a para
disc for ball players who want to spend
short summer vacation and pick up
some easy money on the side The players
who left Seattle a couple of months ago
to play with Skagway Juneau and White
Horse are beginning to drift in now, and
they all look fat and sassy and have
bulging money bags. Grover w. Boyle
and Paddy Welch, pitchers we'll known
here, got in today on the Cottage City.
Boyle used to pitch for Ballard and he
was signed last spring to pitch for Van
couver. But when Boyle got ready to re-
port the Vancouver team was so hope
lessly in the cellar that he did not care
to join that club. He went to Skagway
to pitch the games on the Fourth of
July, and his team won the White Horse
challenge cup and the Kirmse cup, and
is the undisputed champion of the league.
Boyle says the fans up there toss money
at the players upon the slightest provoca-
ton. He got $50 in one game for strike"
outs one fan throwing him a dollar when
he struck a batter out in pinch and
dozen others following his example. He
shut White Horse out without hit or a
run in one of the important games and
was an uncrowned king around Skagway
for a while after that.
Father Tom" Kelly pitched and played
the outfield for Skagway and he once
beat Juneau, allowing his opponents but
two hits Tom led the league in batting
and got $19 for a timely single that drove
in two runs. Tom still has all the money
that was tossed him and will be back
pretty soon to buy some more Seattle real
estate.
Paddy Walch still belongs to the Seattle
league team, and as he is in pretty good
shape now he may report to Dugdale this
week. Paddy got his measles just before
the season began, and when he reported
for work he was weak and shy on control.
Dugdale had been banking on Paddy to
make good this year, for the stocky fellow
has a world of speed and good curves
when he is right. He may join the club
and finish like a whirlwind, for Boyle
says he pitched good ball in Alaska.
Joe Chevalier, who started the season
with Dugdale, likes Juneau so well that
he may stay there this winter. Red
Hearne also took part in some of the
games, but he came back to Seattle sew
eral weeks ago.

WARSHIPS WILL HAVE
NEW SIGNAL SYSTEM

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-Acting Sec
retary of the Navy Truman H. Newberry
and Rear Admiral William S. Cowles,
chief of the bureau of equipment, are ar
ranging to install submarine signal ap-
paratus on the battleships Connecticut,
Virginia, Ohio, Alabama and Maine; also
on the destreyers Hopkins, Whipple,
Worden. Hull and Steward and on many
of the colliers. The Alabama was
equipped about two years ago for pur-
poses of experiment. and the reports have
been so satisfactory that it is now con-
templated to equip many of the other
vessels.
Exhaustive tests made by the British
admiralty last November to ascertain the
value of submarine signals have demon
strated, it Is said, that by means of sub
marine signals vessels can navigate in
fog with almost as great certainty as in
clear weather.

Portland, San Francisco and Phoenix
Fanciers viii Send CANNES to
Compete for the Rich
Trophies

Entries to the first annual show of the
Venice of America Kennel club will close
today, and Secretary Ensign is expecting
a busy time keeping track of them. AS
a rule the dog fanciers wait until the
last minute before making their appli-
cations for bench room and this is sure
to cause the secretary to work hard to
stay in line.
That the coming show, which will be
open on the 29th of this month, will be
a success is not to be doubted, and If
the expectations of those in charge are
realized at least two hundred canine
aristocrats will be lined up in competi-
tion for the ribbons.
And the entries will not be confined to
Los Angele7 and vicinity alone, either.
From as far north as Portland and from
Phoenix on the southeast the slips have
been mailed to the secretary, and San
Francisco will also be well represented
In order to facilitate things for the
owners a special car will be run from
this city to Venice on the opening day
of the show, and will transport all dogs
whose exhibitors desire accommodations.

Work to Make 1t Feasible All
the Time-Regatta Is
Closed

Special to The Herald.
SANTA BARBARA, Aug. 16.-Vallyrie,
Columbine and Arrow were the first to
finish in the arbitrary handicap race here
today, which closed the annual regatta
of the South Coast Yacht club. The
wind being rather light no such sailing
was seen as marked the former races
of the week.
In the handicap races the time allow
ance was figured on the first perform
ance of the yachts as well as on their
measurements BY this rule Mischief l.
having won two cups, was made scratch
boat, starting nearly an hour after the
smaller boats had got away.
The preparatory gun was fired at 12;55
and Serena del Mar started at 1 o'clock.
The rest of the fleet got away in the
following order: Volga 1:1O; Enchantress,
1880; Valkyrie, 1:42:96; Arrow, 1:4S:S4;
Minerva. 1:52:4S; Monsoon. 2:0712; Column
bine, 2:094S, and Mischief at 2:1O.
Geometry Not Considered
BY the time the big sloops were across
the line most of the others were hull
down to leeward. The course was around
the four sides of a triangle, feat that
may seem impossible in geometry, but
perfectly feasible in a we'll conducted
y
In the official instructions issued this
morning the shippers were instructed to
start across a line between two stake
boats, thence southeast by east three
miles. Here the course changed to west
southwest three-quarters west three
miles, where the yachts turned back and
sailed over the course just finished.
For novelty the reverse course is
success but it would hardly afford
enough windward work for ordinary pur-
poses.
1t originated in the fertile brain of w.
d. Sylvester, official starter of the club.
who Is real modest in laying claim to 1t,
insisting that he read it in book.
AS the three sloops got away Mischief
set balloon and rapidly overhauled both
Monsoon and Columbine. The two latter
engaged In a luffing match, which gave
Mischief an opportunity to close up the
gap made by her heavy handicap, and
she made the most of it.
All three made the first mark together,
but in the windward work Columbine
easily opened lead that was not cut
down for the rest of the race. She
turned the second stakeboat two minutes
ahead, finishing only a minute after Val
