Oregon Minister Succeeds in
Breaking Coast Record.
Rev. Mr.. Spearow, Member of Multi
nomah Athletic Club, Is AIl-Round
AthIete-High and Broad
Jumps His Speciaities.

A minister of the Gospel broke the
Pacific coast record in the pole vault,
and is considered promising candi-
date for the worlds record
He is Rev. Ralph A. Spearew, pas
tor Of Unitarian church in Portland,
and member of the Multnomah Athlet-
ic club.
Sunday finds Rev. Mr.. Spearow de-
livering sermons to large-sized con-
gregations, in which young men and
boys are conspicuously present. He is
adored by the youth of Portland, who
regard him as an athlete who breaches
ION the side," not as preacher with
an athletic bent.
Monday finds the young minister out
on the athletic field keeping up his
training. He is an all-round star. with
special ability at the high jump and
broad jump as well as the pole vault,
and is also an excellent Splinter.
Rev. Mr.. Spearow's coast record was
made recently in a track meet held ut
Tacoma. He scared over the bar at
the dizzying height of ID feet and 3-S
inches, the first time any coast vaulter
had ever exceeded 13 feet. The former
record was held by Sam Bellah, of
Stanford university.
The worlds record stands at 13 feet
"a inches.
Rev. Mr.. Spearow at the Tacoma
meet won the high jump at 6 feet 2
inches, which is some jump, and did %
feet and one-half inch in the broad.
Rev. Mr.. Spearow frankly attributes
his success, not to coaching, but
prayer. He has never been in the
hands of an expert coach, but worked
out his own methods entirely. Prayer,
he says, carries him over the bar.

HANDLING OF SMALL BOATS.
How to Avoid the Common Instances OF
Upsetting

From the published accounts of the
tragedy near Springfield, Mass, on Fri
day, whereby 10 boys and an assistant
camp leader lost their lives through the
swapping and upsetting of the boat and
canoes in which they were crossing a
| lake, il appears that here again we have
case Of bad craftsmanship, than which
nothing is more common in connection
| with the water. Small boats, and by this
term we include everything from a bat
/ tleship's small craft to a dory or a canoe,
are at once the safest things that float
! and the most dangerous.
Overlooking aud improper distribution
of weight are the most frequent causes
| of these small boat disasters both on
the part of professional and amateur
watermen 1t is only a few years since
! one Of the boats of a United States
warship capsized in the North river from
overcrowding and improper distribution
of the men of a liberty party in it, with
| the consequent loss of 40 lives. The very
human desire of men and women to get
in the bow of boat is a thing that ev-
eryone in charge of small craft must nee
essarily guard against, but unfortunately
| the danger Of such a course is not as
| generally recognized as it should be.
What happened when a boat, or any
other craft, for that matter, is loaded
''by the head" as sailors say, is that
it tends to make it unmanageable, since
it does not respond readily to the action
of the rudder. Moreover, when craft
laden in such fashion is towed it does
not hold true course but Jaws from
| side to side, with the inevitable, il there
is any sea running, of getting sideways
| to sea and being upset, 1t is fair to
assume that the tragedy at Big pond oc-
CURED in just this fashion, for in the
story we have the familiar elements
of fiat boat being towed by launch,
high wind coming up to raise sea,
boat filing with water, and tire in
evitable fatal consequences.
Mere size has little to do with the safe
| ty of any craft. Witness the fisherman's
dory riding the seas on the Grand banks
and being upset by some amateur oars
man in still water The st. Lawrence
and all the mighty waters of its source
were traversed by white men for the first
| time in safety in canoes not more sea-
worthy than the modern types that
drown all too many unskilled canoeists
every summer in the North river. Boat
manship needs care, care and still more
care in the loading and handling of small
craft unless it is to be turned from one
of the best and most inexpensive of
| sports into such tragic occurrence as
that which happened at Big pond.-New
