Sen. Stewart Stands by Friends

The fight over the nomination of a
successor to w. Cushman in the Sc
cond Congressional District brought
out many candidates and was won by
Judge McCredIe, of Clarke county.
An interesting sidelight was thrown
of the fight by the action of Senator
Stewart of Cowlitz county who was a
candidate before the convention. His
defeat however, has not disheartened
his friends and the Stewart Congress
sional club IS working hard for the
success of Judge McCredie. Senator
Stewards determination to stand by
his friends is commented on most for
chilly by the Oregonian as follows:
Misstatements by the Tacoma press
concerning incidents of the Olympia
convention have served to strengthen
the determination of Senator Stewart
and his friends to poll up big vote
for the Judge. 1t was reported by the
Tacoma papers that Stewart laid down
early in the game and tried to deliver
both the Cowlltz and Wahkiakum de-
legations to some other candidate.
Stewart, however did not lay down
during the caucus and has no inten-
tion of doing so. He was strong
possibility up to the very last ballot in
he caucus. The IA votes of Cowlitz
County and the eight votes of WAIKIKI
akum stood solid for him at all times
other than when mplimentary votes
were temporarily thrown to some other
candidate.
Further than this, after balloting
had been going on for nearly five
hours, Stewart developed strength
Of 81 votes on about the 5Oth ballot,
when it required but Sc votes to nomin
ate. obtaining on his ballot % votes
from Lewis, from Cowlitz, 8 from
Wahkiakum and from Klickitat,
thereby making him the strongest sec
ond that appeared during the caucus.
Besides which he at one time had the
promise of % votes from Chehalis and
10 from Jefferson, which never mater
ialiZed.
After the convention met Wednesday
morning it organized and adjourned
until O'Clock in the afternoon. Dur
ing the recess period an authorized
lieutenant of the Pierce County forces
called aside one of the delegates from
Cowlitz County and made an offer to
deliver to Stewart their entire strength
of lob votes If Stewart would renOunce
his caucus agreement and have his
delegates stand for him. This COM
bined strength of the forces of Pierce,
Mason, Thurston, Clallau, Cowlitz
and Wahkiakum would make total of
III which would have the power to
seat the contested delegation from
Pacific County of ID votes, which
would give such an alignment voting
strength of 134.
Senator Stewart promptly turned
the matter down, saying that he would
rather keep his friends than go to
Congress.

DEER PLENTIFUL

REDLANDS, July 20.-Reports from
deer hunters in the local mountains
continue to be good. At several camps
where there are from three to a half
dozen hunters, reports have come
down to the valley that one or more
bucks have been killed, and that the
game is as plentiful as in any recent
year, though not like it was few
years ago before the hunters began
the slaughter that almost killed off the
game. From Forest Home reports were
received today that two bands of deer
We're seen near the resort and it is
remarkable that they are so low in
the mountains. In one band there
were two bucks and some does and
in the other doe and two fauns. The

ID p. BURLINGHAM, manager OF

AO' McCarey that he would give an
answer Wednesday IN regard to Hudson

word has been received from Monte

falls to come through Frank Plcato
may be matched with Phil Brock.
Word was sent to Doc Gene Jeffery
the manager of Jack Burns, yesterday
Offering a match with Jim Barry for
August 10 at McCarey's pavilion. Burns
has won all of his fights, his latest
achievements being the defeats of Terry

Joe Willetts. Barry weighs in the
neighborhood of 225 pounds with MS
clothes on at present, and he Will come
into the ring at the same figure as
Burns.
Manager McCarey is 10th to put sam
Coulter and Beauehamp on together az

will be matched with some local poS

America shows a strong tendency 70

accompanied by a disinclination to ac-

ence, however will be slight, and when
America follows suit, the rest OF the

England will have its full quota OF

Christmas holidays roll around, while
the tangle as to worlds championships
promises to continue for some time to

So far as the worlds heavyweight
championship is concerned, the miX-up

the defeat of Tommy Burns, no one
denied that the Canuck was the real
worlds champion. He had won the
distinction in America, and had sue
cessfully defended 1t in England, Ire
land, France and Australia. No boxer
had ever gone farther atield to battle
for a continuance of his honors, and

Sacramento 2, Vernon 0


Sacramento won a fiuke victory over
the Vernonites in the opening game OF
the Coast league series at the Subur-
ban diamond yesterday, and the score
was a shutout, which was entirely un-
deserved by the locals. Jansing' s
homer in the second inning scoring
himself and Shinn was the pivotal
point of the play which brought out
fast and snappy playing on the part
of both teams. 1t was a good game to
witness, and for the first time this
season an excellent car service to
Doyle's precincts permitted fair
crowd to be on hand when the game
was called. The Senators at all times
put up their usual snappy style OF
play.
Fitzgerald heaYed over the delivery
for the nOrtherners and for the locals
Pitcher Raleigh was placed in the box.
Raleigh allowed only six hits, but the
homer in the. second did the business.
Fitz held the locals down to two
scanty hits, and neither of these did
any damage. 1t was not a spectacular
game, but was full of fast work on the
part of the infelders of both teams,
which means an interesting game to all
true lovers of the national sport.
Umpire McGreeyy appeared as indi-
Gator man in this first game of the
series. He did well, and the crowd
liked him until the second inning, when
they believed lansing had been given
three strikes instead of one strike and
two balls when he hit the ball over
the center field fence, scoring the runs
which proved to be the deciding tai
lies Aside from this play and few
fast fielding feats there was little of
excitement, though the work of the
northern pitcher surely is worthy of
more than the usual comment. Two
hits in such a game is a small lot for
such a team as the Vernonites. The
tabulated score:

That Southern California will be

gust "a for the amateur championships
Of the United States. is the belief Of
Les Henry, who for several years has
been a prominent figure in amateur
sports throughout Southern California.
Frank HolboroW and Marcus Lee are
the two crack swimmers who will, in
all probability. represent Los Angeles
at the exposition, and in order to de-
fray their expenses, Henry is organ
izing three water polo teams and VIII

of exciting contests in and about Los
Angeles There will be one professional
and two amateur organizations IN the
field and it is believed that much in

Angeles fans as the teams are very
evenly matched and should furnish
classy sport. Although water polo
has for several months been dead
letter with fans of the Angel city, the
numerous inquiries which are daily
being received by Les Henry are good
indications of revival of an exciting
game.
Teams In League
The three teams which will compose
the league are: L. A. A. c. and Venice
teams, amateur, and the RedondO polo
team, professional The members Of
the L. =. A. c. team are Jack Wat
lington, Ben Watlington, Charlie
Basset, Elt Brown and Louis Aluzett
The members of the Venice team, who
practiced yesterday evening in the
Venice plunge, are Frank Holborow,
Marcus Lee, George McManus, Andrew
Schultz. George Fair and H. Kinney.
The swimmers who are enrolled in the
professional Redondo aggregation are
George Freeth, considered by many as
being the best polo player on the Pa
cific coast, George Wilde, Harvey
Crum, Elwin Lechner, Edwin Lechner
and c. Barton.
At least one and probably two con-
tests will be held each week and it is
believed that the 5000 necessary to de-
fray Holborow's and Lees expenses TO
Seattle will be readily raised. Daily
practices are being held by the Venice
and Redondo teams, although the L. a.
A. c. team has had little practice as
yet. owing to the fact that the ma
jority of the members are not in the
city. The boys are all in good shape
and the six men who will represent
the L. A. A. c. are picked by many
to carry off the honors.
Lee and HoIboroW the Boys
Marcus Lee and Frank Holborow,
who will compete with swimmers from
every part of the United States, are
considered likely winners in nearly
every class which they will enter, this
being largely due to Lees recent per
formances at Venice and the fast time
which he set in the 22O, 440 and $50
yard swims.
Holborow is easily the fastest swim
mer on the coast in the 80 and 100
yard swims and holds several inter-
scholastic as well as coast records. It
is believed that Holborow will stand
an excellent chance of winning both

TEST HEARTS OF ATHLETES

NEW HAVEN, Conn, July 20.-Nov-
ell experiments have been completed at
Yale relating to the effect of mountain
climbing, high attitudes and athletics
in general on the heart. The series was
begun because of the collapse of Yale
oarsmen in the crew races in the last
few years.
The tests were ordered because the
university authorities were determined
that no more rowing candidates with
unsound hearts should be allowed in
boats.
The most important experiments were
made in Old Mexico during the Christ
mas vacation. In these the use of oxy-
gen was tested in climbing two vol
canic mountains, Popocatapetl and IL
taccihuatl, which are each $4,000 feet
high.
