(jipeilaL) Not only will there be no Inaurrectlon by Portland Coast Lesgue ball stars against the donning of the Identification numbers decreed by the magnates, but there appeara to be a genuine clamor for the hoodooed num bers "13" and "23." Hpeek Harkness put in his applica tion for the ill-omened '13" last Janu ary, but now finds hia claim disputed by' Benny Henderson. Walter Doane and others. "Dutch" Krueier insists that he be allotted "23." if the akldon sign la given out at all: in fart, tha graceful outfielder. now venturing forth on hia 10th season of profes sional hall, haa -rigged himself up with a Bertllllon code already, and is work ing out to see how the new schema treats him. Rappa la Opposed. "Hotels never have rooms 13 or S3," said Manager McCredle today. "But I gueas there'll be no superstitious bold backs on my team, and next week, when I have my sleeve bands made, I'll have 13 and 23 included. The num bers will be dished out to the players at the start of each aerlea. these figures corresponding to th list given to the official scorecard concessionaire." Around the champions' ramp Bill Rappa appears to be the only man op posed to the Innovation, and Bill's op position comes from an Ignorance of the Intent of the magnates. Rapps thinks that should he get hurt and an assistant be put en the first sack the asaistant would be given his number, which would mean that he and not the assistant would he charged with the boots by the spectators. As a matter of fart, each man on the squud is num bered and not the position which he occupies. "Back East everybody boosts the schem." la the message brought to the Coast by Walter l'oane. the New Or leans fly chaser. Ben Henderson is another of the ardent optimlata. Here's the way Ben anawered Bill Rappa In hla argument that any fan who couldn't see by consulting the sec re card as for merly arranged didn't know enough about baseball to care. lira Machea Argwaaewt. -Let's see." said Benny. "You racked pool balls in Portland last Winter for a living, didn't you? "Now, why are those rari-colored pool balls numbered? You know the balls In rotation by the numbers, and so does many another frequenter of the emporium. "1 11 tell you why: Because without the numbers there would have been few games played, and absolutely no progress made In th development of th popularity of th gam." . RENT NEWJPIANOS, $4.

Oregon led from the start and held a few points advantage at all stages. Captain Jamison headed the scoring for Oregon with eight points, Kenton registered five, three of them via foul throws, while Walker and Bradshaw divided the remaining four points. Jamison's guard, Keeler, deposited three of Washington's five field ringers, and Captain Staatz and Byler, the Kvergreen forwards, made one each. Staatz succeeded with four foul throw attempts. The game tonight was the fiercest tussle ever witnessed on the local campus, even the staid vetecaus "fall ing for wind." Jamison was severely Injured early in the game, but finished. Ned Shaw, the famous Pallas center, gave satisfaction as referee. Time of play. 40 minutes, separated In four quarters. Kenton and Staatz each failed in two attempts at free throws. Score of the first half, Oregon 7 to Washington's 5. In the event that Oregon wins to morrow night's game, which seems probaole.

Promoters at Klamath Kails are trying to bring Bud Anderson, tne Vancouver l'ght weight, and Nelson together In a 10 round bout in May. according to ion ald. Anderson's manager. "Andorson Is more than willing to meet Nelson in that long-postponed bout if Bat will make 1.15 pounds Ting aide." says Donald. "Anderson is con fident that he can more than hold his own with Nelson and we will agree to almost "Anything that will send the men into tha ring at 135 pounds." As a "comeback" Nelson has proveJ a great deal of a joke in hia bouts of the past year, yet he always assures the fans of a good mill, and at the same time arranges things so that ha is guaranteed a good fee for his work Krltz Holland, the Ppokane middle weight who temporarily retired from the ring game when he succumbed to Kid George at Sacramento in alx rounds recently, has undertaken the revival of boxing in Idaho. He has opened a club at Coeur d'Alene and expects to give O'Brien and Anderson chances for good purses before th close- of the Idaho race meeting this Summer. San Kranelsco fight critics are unan imous in the opinion that Otto Berg, the Astoria lightweight.' should have had th decision over Brick Burgess in their four-round bout a few nights ago. Berg Jumped Into the limelight by making a splendid showing against Krttz Holland. Ml'LTXOMAH TO PLAY DALLAS Basketball StruBRle Will Be in Na ture of Championship.

An exodus of prominent native busi ness men and Americans from the state of Sonora. located in Western Mexico, Is now in progress, according to A. C. Fletcher, 247 North Eighteenth street, this city, who returned from the trouble-ridden country yesterday. Fletcher, who Is an electrician, spent several , months at Alamos, Sonora. In charge of the electrical department of one of the big mines. "As a result of the uprising against the Madero machine, the Yaqul Indians w..nn.A tonhlAsnme." said Mr. nave uwumt , . . , j Fletcher yesterday, while discussing conditions in western ai trouble caused the mines around Ala mos to be shut down, putting close to 600 men out of work. There were about SO Americans at the mines. All of them left as soon as the trouble began." . Those connected with the movement to oust the Incumbent administration in Mexico are the cause of the Yaqul being on the "warpath," declares the Portland man. He says that the In dians were Incited by Mexicans not In sympathy with the' Madero clique and that of late their actlvltiea have been the cause of considerable con centration among the peaceable In habitants of Sonora. "Mexico l in a turmoil ana the situa tion Is graver than the people here imagine." said Mr. Fletcher. "The trouble Is not over, by any means. In fact, it hasn't really started yet. "Mexican peons are not very fond of work and they would rather pack a gun than labor for their food. This condition makes it comparatively easy to Induce them to - join the rebels or fight for the government. "Native business men and Americans In Sonora are leaving the country in large numbers. They fear that their property and lives are not safe since the Indians and natives have become imbued with the war spirit again." RENT NEWPIANQS, $4. Bush & Lane Piano Co., 355 WaBh.

CHALLENGES ARE IN AIR One Feature of Present Wrestling 0b.ll Is Fact Thnt John Berfr, Vsually Right on Hand. Has Dropped From Sight. The wrestling- pot Is boiling over time In Portland, with Stanislaus Zbyszko. Fred Beell and John Berg: the center of the mat excitement. Zbysiko and Berg are scheduled to meet In a handicap bout March 22. Pro moters are trying to get Berg and Beell together for a finish match March 29, while Beell has complicated the situa tion by telegraphing a challenge to meet Zbyszko In Portland for a 2500 side bet if the giant Pole will make 200 pounds ringside. Zbyszko has not answered the Beell challenge, but there is little likelihood that he will meet Beell on any basis other than a handicap. The Pole weighs between 230 and 240 pounds in condition and would probably be un able to tear the excess avoirdupois from his rolv-poly makeup to meet Beell at th weight the lighter man insists upon. At 200 pounds Zbyszko would still be at least 25 pounds heavier than Beell. but the latter is one of the few men who have defeated Frank Gotch, and is still rated as the peer of the top. notch heavyweights. John Berg, usually on hand when a match is in prospect, has not been heard from recently, and charges are being made that he is not looking for a bout with such a tough man as Beell. Berg went from Vancouver. B. C, where he wrestled Chet Mclntyre to a three round draw, to Spokane, and has ap parently dropped out of sight, letters and telegrams falling to reach him. Berg has "challenged Beell on every oc casion and now that he has the oppor tunity to prove that he Is the light heavyweight champion of the world he seems decidedly unenthusiastic. A forfeit of $500 has been posted with a Portland sporting writer to bind a match for Beell with either Berg or Zbyszko. Beell Is willing to tackle Berg on any hasis, from a $5000 sida bet and winner take all to a match minus the bet and with a more even distribution of the gate. Another proposition which is meet ing with much favor is a, Berg-Beell bout, the winner to meet Zbyszko if the Pole will make 200 pounds. Eddie O'Connell, Multnomah Club wrestling instructor, breaks into tho light-heavyweight controversy with an offer to jneet Chet Mclntyre. of Van couver, for a $500 side bet. Mclntyre stayed three hours with John Berg re cently. Berg is confident that he can defeat Beell, who, in turn, is anxious to meet Zbyszko at 200 pounds. Fol lowing this line of thought. O'Connell. a 150-pounder, is not so far below Zbyszko, who expects to force Frank Gotch into a championship match soon. Reduced to an absurdity. O'Connell and Gotch should meet for the title. A wrestling bout of unusual interest will be staged at Spokane tonight, Hatch, the Vancouver 145-pounder, meeting Chris Gesek, middleweight Amateur Athletic Union champion, at 148 pounds. Hatch and Gesek were slated to- meet on several occasions, but something interfered each time. The Canadians accused Gesek of run ning out, which resulted in the arrang ing of a match. Gesek has never had his shoulders pinned to the mat and while he is not a flashy performer, is rated as the best amateur this section of the country has produced In the welter and middle, weight divisions.
