Whll. tha rsla did not Interfere ro tertallr with the workout neld by Me Credle'a champion, tfcl. afternoon, a high wind, which at times reached a velocity of miles an soar, swirled through the ball park, making batting practice difficult. HoweTer, tha play ers went In the rams with a vim. and all of the new men showed op In ex cellent form. McCredie would not permit Griffith and Archer to heave to the batters, as he does not belters they are sufficiently hardened yet to stand the strain of using- curved balls. The atmosphere was too cool this afternoon to permit of a pitcher not hardened to the irame to extend himself. Fullerton. Arlett. Bui fell and teen were sent against the battera and tha practice was a good one. McCredie was especially pleased with the workout snd Is congratulating himself for coming to Santa Maria, for the Portland team has been the only Coast club to enjoy the privilege of working outdoors during tba past Ove cr six days. AH the other clubs, as well as the Boston Bed Pot, have been e!d Indoors most of the time this training season. Gan la Scheduled.

The Beavers, or regu lars, will comprise the veteran players of the squad, while the recruits snd the surplus pitchers are rounded Into the Coyote team. McCredie objects to the name Tannlgana for the recruits, so the name Coyotes hss been substi tuted. I don't I:ke the name Tannlgana, be cause the youngsters might become dis trusted at the seemingly uncomplimen tary name. explained McCredie. "and I want all these young fellows to feel confident and do their beat, which Is the only way I can Judge them. "AH of th young players now here lom up fine, but we have not yet start ed real active work, and when tha serious stuff commences, some of them may fall down. I am watching them rloeely. and whenever I see a defect. I rail tha player's attention to It Imme diately. If ha pays proper heed, ha stands to hold Ms Job, for that shows me he has a brain. A ballplayer must have gray matter to make good nowa days, and some of my younssters ara showing a willingness and ability that is flattering.- Griffith I Improving. Sam Griffith, the Pittsburg lad. who has been nicknamed "Clark by tha other balltossers. Is gradually getting over the soreness contracted by a hard workout on his arrival here and promises to show plenty of class In tha twirling line. Griffith Is a right-banded twtrler. He played on tha Cleveland Club in the Spring of 1H and Is ac quainted with Artie Krurser and Trainer Srhmelder. I-ast year he pitched for tha Champion Waterbury Club, of which team Kodgera was also a mem ber, and the two are among McCredle'a nist promising recruits. Charley Kullerton continues to make most favorable impression, and be Is working hard to make good. In 10 Fullerton was pitching for the Haver hill Club In tha Connecticut! League, and won Si and lost 13 games that sea son. He was transferred to Pall River last season, where be did good work and was recommended to McCredie. who put In a draft on this clever youngster and got htm. Fullerton Is but 2 years of axe. Frank Archer continues to loom op In One style.' McCredie seems likely to possess a star left-nanded pitcher In this lad. "Bill Jack" r.usselL the big San Francisco boy, baa not been feaxed by the workouts yet. He Is In first-class physical condition. Tom Seaton seems to grow r.ctter every day, and Instead of Bill tteen being the star of tha tram. Seaton Is likely to file claim for the honor, for Tom is feeling stronger and pitching better than ha ever did before.

Manager Griffith Thinks Lad Will Fit Into Third Base Position AVIth "Reds" Slccly. Idrk Breen. the ex -Portland player and leading third baseman of the Northwest ern League last year, is apparently a fixture with the Cincinnati "Iteda" this vear. Clark Griffith, manager ef the Reds, speaks highly of the youngster snd he is well liked by his teammates. Dick has been playing second base for the Cincinnati Yannlgans and his clever fielding and hard hitting have won him a place In tba esteem of the old-timers on the team. An early training camp report to tne Cincinnati Enquirer In regard to Breen says: "Breen has played every lnflcld position, and took to second base natur ally, though he played third all of last year. He is rant, about tne aiza or jjick Kcid and with a Kood deal of Dick's easy grace In 'handling ground and thrown balls. Breen has playea nan for five years and has been on three pennant-winning teams and two second placers. He considers this quite a hunch aa to where tne Iteas win nnisn the year, providing ha sticks with tha club." Breen came to the Portland Coast Lragua team In the Spring of 1909, omtng by trade from Cleveland. He played sec ond with the Beavers part of that year and later was transferred to the orm- western League Club, where he finished the season at third base. At second bsse for the Beavers he played la ill games, hit .201 and fielded .31. He was a clever baserunner and purerea -' bases during his Pacific Coast League career. In tha Northwestern League he was a star the remainder of the 1909 season. playing 4S games and hitting .150. His greatest record was or stealing si bases during those games. His fielding was none too good at third, having Jumped Into that difficult position from second base, his average being only 91. McCredie disposed of him to the Van couver club thst Fall and Dick played all year with tha Canucks. He partici pated In 14S games and emerged at tha end with a batting record of .27S for third position In the rare. Ha stole (9 basra during the season. His short experience at third base with Port land fitted him for a try at the difficult corner and bo "made good" In fielding, topping tha league In that position with an average of .943 after handling chances. Cincinnati drafted -him from ancouvor. GIAXTS TO IIOI.Il SMOKER Raseball Trent Plans Entertainment to Get Xrw I'nlforms.

OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL LEGE. CorvslHs. Msrch S. (Special.) That Sam Dolan, the famous Oregon Agricultural College and Notre Dame football star, will decline the call to the position of head coach of Notre Dame and will. Instead, accept the head coachshtp at the Oregon Agricultural College. Is the conclusion arrived at after a careful canvass of the situation at the college today. Dolan says that he lias received no definite offer from the Notre Dame management and has not communicated directly with them at any time. While ho Is non-committal as to his course. should a proposition be submitted to him. he did express hlmseir as. pre ferring to remain In the West and at bin old school. The student athletic council has al ready voted In favor of electing Dolan as head coach of the football team for next season and, from what can be gathered from the college authorities today, they seem to think favorably of the matter.

BOY MEET ALLOWED Grammar Schools to Compete on Columbia Indoor Track. APRIL 1. IS DATE FIXED Directors Favor Games and Make Preliminary Arrangements for Baseball League Teams to Furnish Own Material. Grammar school boys of Portland will compete In an indoor track meet April 1. Decision was reached at a meeting of the atlhetic council of the Grammar School League held late yesterday at the offices of the School Directors. Til ford building. The meet will be held In the Columbia University Coliseum. ( Columbia University placed before the directors for their consideration a pro posal to hold the meet In the big coli seum one week prior to the open meet to be held there April 8. Columbia, through Professor James Bach, athletic manager, offered the coliseum free and to furnish all prizes for competition. This proposal was ratified by unanimous consent of all directors present at yes terday's meeting. Professor Robert Krohn, physical di rector of the Portland public schools, was highly favorable to the Indoor meet. Inasmuch as it would, in his estimation, serve to prepare the youths for the an nual outdoor meet. It was decided to hold the outdoor meet during the latter part of May. if by that time the new Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club. field is In shape for sueh an event. The directors of the Grammar School League will have little to worry them over the meet, Columbia's athletic coun cil completing all arrangements for the events. Professor .Krohn will aia x-ro-fessor Bach In completing plans for the meeting of the future cinder-path stars. R. H. Thomas, treasurer of the league, volunteered the Information that there is a surplus of 9130 In the treasury from the previous year's work. This sum will not be large enough to con duct the work of the league for the coming season and plans for raising money were discussed. The council came to the agreement that a repetition of the famous school children's drilf, which was given on Multnomah field three years ago, would be the most feasible plan. At that time the enter tainment was for the benefit of the Grammar School League and 5000 chil dren took part, a net earning of more than $1000 resulting therefrom. The consent of the Board of Edu cation must be obtained If the enter tainment is given. A. R. Draper, sec retary, was Instructed to Interview the members of the School Board as to the practicability of holding the ex hibition. It Is thought their sanction will be readily given. If held. Pro fessor Krohn will drill the children, as upon the former ocasion. No definite baseball plans were laid, although It was decided that a Gram mar School' Baseball League would be formed and that the schedule woulL.be Issued shortly. One decision reached was that the principals and teams in the several divisions of the league should, furnish all necessary parapher nalia and arrange for their own um pires for all preliminary games. The Honeyman Hardware Company has al ready given a cup for the winning team, while several individuals have volunteered to furnish trophies. Fields upon which the games will be played have not yet been chosen. WASHINGTON TRACK MEN FAST Maybury Says Record Will Be Good In Class Meet, April 8: TTNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON. Se attle. March .

"Just what will be the final out come this year, and who will represent the varsity this year la far more than I can tell," said Maybury today. "How ever, I can say that the competition in the class meet, which takes place April 8. will be close and tho records will be' fast." In Ed Lang Maybury believes he has made a find for the mile. Lang, after running two quarters, yesterday ran the third quarter In SI seconds. Men who are strong on the sprints are Glsh. Slucliell. Ridgeway. Wright and Courtney. Courtney, according to May bury. is an unusually fast man. For the broad jump. Glsh and Brockaw are strong. Brbckaw may best the big man In athletics, as the coach believes he will make better than 2$ feet. In the high Jump Claire Bowman, McKinnon, and Evans are close competitors. Pherrick, Wellington, Campbell and Patton will be out for weight events. The absence of Max Eaklns, who handled the shot last year will be a considerable loss. In the mile. Maybury has made a find in Weaver, recently of Chicago. Men of last year's team for the mile are Carr, Stoll, Hawley and Harper. Women See Flglit at Newport. NEWPORT. Or.. March 6. (Special.) Frankle O'Brien, of Portland, and Kid Gillen, of Newport, boxed 10 fast rounds here last night under tho auspices of the Newport Athletic Association. They entered the ring at 130 pounds, and put tip one of the prettiest boxing exhihi tions ever seen here. There was no de cision, but in the opinion of the specta tors O'Brien rather outpointed the local boy. Gillen was aggressive and also clever.
