The New York experience In 1909 aught the Naps that Doane had too good control for a successful major esgue pitcher, so they began groom- ng him for the outfield, where his nat ural speed and batting ability might be given play. However, early in the Summer he was shipped back to Roanoke for slab duty, and came through wltb 11 of II games in the won column. Immediately he was recalled, but ,lt waa his hitting that attracted the Naps, for Doane swatted the horsehtde at a .100 clip during his six weeks' sojourn In his old stamping ground.

Outside of the reversal of form and the ability of the Junior team to "come back." the weather has been the chief topic of conversation. The weather has been conducting one great guessing contest and keeps one Jumping as to what is to happen next. Nick Williams, the peerless leader of the Portland Northwestern team, ar rived to talk biiiness and look over the team. The Northwestern League leader had a fairly good chance to look at the San Francisco club and seemed to be more Impressed with Uedeon thsn with any of the other new men. Nick has also seen Los An geles and Vernoon and does not seem particularly Improssed with the South ern clubs. "McCredie is going to have a good club." he said. "Much depends upon his pitchers and of course they have not started as yet. His Infielders are looking good but I think he will go after an experienced shortstop rather than use the novices who are perform ing so well at present. I can't see that either l.o Angeles or Vernon will be so much strengthened over last season. IIAKTKLS OFF TO INDIAN' CAMP Portland Twirler Is Confident of Making Good With Spokane.

A X., "Ted" Kartell left last night for Walla Walla to Join Joe Cohn's band of pennant hunting Indians. The youthful Port land spitbail twirler was escorted to the train by a host of friends, who con fidently expect to see him stick with the Spokane club. Panels was considered one of the cleverest semi-professional pitchers around St. Louis. Mo., for several years and declined many offers to take up baseball as a steady thing. His suc cess locally last year prompted him to sign a contract presented by the Spo kane management. He Is confident that he will show enough real merit to warrant his retention by Manager Harry Ostdlek. Heinle Zlmmermsn also left yester day 'or Walla Walla. MOTOKBOAT HF.GATTA Is PLAN' Races at Time of Elks Convention May Be Staged. Although no definite plans have bean made on motorboat races for the Elks' convention, as the matter has not been put up to the regatta, committee of the Portland Motorboat Club, there mill be some Interesting events here In the course of the convention, as a result of 'the ,500 that was awarded to the racing; committee by the Board of Ju bilee. This amount would not cause an special Influx "of outside boats for the occasion, but a plan Is now on foot to combine the Portland' events with those to be held at Vancouver. The Portland contribution, combined with the prize money that the Vancouver enthusiasts are going to put up. would Insure a bigger event and would make it worth while for Seattle and Astoria boats to come to the scene. STRIKE IN PRUSSIA ENDED BY Government's Threat to Enact Laws in Aid of Colliery , Workers Settles Trouble. 200,000 MINERS INVOLVED Publication of legislative Acts Which Were 'to Be Introduced in Hcicli-tajr Acts as Whip on Kniplojers" Backs. BliRLI.V March 1. (Special.) In the present coal strike crisis it Is im portant to recall the action of the Prussian government in 105. when 200.000 miners struck In the Western coal fields. At that time all the miners' associations were united in their de mands, which were reasonable. Just snd temperately expressed. The en tire country, with the exception of the extreme employers' party, was on the side of the miners, manifestations of sympathy coming to them from all sides. Collections In their aid were started In hundreds of towns, among the most prominent gifts being one of lono marks from the Cardinal Arch bishop of Cologne. Both in the Reich stag and In the Prussian Diet there were notable expressions of sympathy for the miners, not only from private members but from the government. The strike was preceded by a series of attempts on behalf of the govern ment to bring pressure to bear on the owners -to negotiate with the miners. A number of commissioners were sent to all the disturbed areas. These com missioners were men of a conciliatory character., who were well received by the miners' representatives, but wjio were finally obliged to return to Ber lin without accomplishing anything. Undeterred by their failure. the government again and again sent offi cials to Westphalia, and both tne Home Minister and the Minister for Commerce wrote urgent letters to the owners, advising conciliatory tactics, and pointing out the tremendous responsibility of owners in driving matters to a head. Small Preparations Made. The men, who all along had been displaying exemplary patience, struck work on January 16. They had made only inadequate preparations, and It wss at once seen that the strike would be only of short duration. The Social Democrats in the Reichstag In terpellated the government at once as to what steps It intended to take. Prince Buelow said the government had two elementary duties to fulfill first, to preserve order in the most rigid form; and secondly, to protect those miners who elected to work. In addition. It was the governments bounden duty to devise some methods of exercising a soothing influence on both parties to the dispute. Prince Buelow was followed by the Slinlster for Commerce, who sketched the steps which the government had already taken. The Minister utterly condemned the tactics of the owners and hoped that when they saw that the entire country wss against them they would give up their wrecking policy. In the Prussian Landtag the day after the proclamation of the strike, a debate on the subject followed on pretty much the same lines as In the Reichstag. I.awa Framed tn Aid Miners. Ten days later, on the Kaiser's birthday, the "Norddeutsche Allgeme lne Zeitung" published the main fea tures of the new mining laws which the government waa to Introduce. These amendmenta to existing legisla tion practically covered the most ser ious of the miners' demands. They provided for the legal regulation of the miners' working day and for proper sanitation of the shafts and mines. They regulated the upper and lower shifts. They provided for the presence of workmen's representatives on all committees where miners' interests were Involved such as fines, the regu lation f abnormal places, etc., and placed limitations to the power of the owners In the matter of fines. On February 9 the strike suddenly collapsed, and the men returned to work. The government took credit for putting an end to the strike by their new legislation.

DALLAS TO PLAY MCLTNO.MAII rn defeated Valley Basketball Team Here for Return Game Tonight. The laat big basketball game of the Portland season will be staged tonight at Multnomah Athletic Club, the crack five of that organisation lining up against the undefeated Dallas quintet In an effort to atone for past defeats and tie the visitors for the state cham pionship. Interest In the bssketball finale is keen among Multnomah members, while confidence marks the attitude of the plavers towards the bout. Dallas de- RULERS feated Multnomah, il-17. early in the season on the Dallas floor. With the advantage of the home floor and team work developed by persistent practice, Multnomah expects to defeat Dallas, thus necessitating another game to de cide the title. The game will be called at 8:15 o'clock. WASHINGTON NINE WEAKENED New Scholarship Standard Knocks Props From Baseball Team. UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON. Se attle. March 15. (Special.) Because of the preponderance of book lore de manded of the college baseball player here, Washington's chances for the Pa cific Coast championship have been ruined and the trip to California will be made with only a part of the ag gregation of stars that have thronged the diamond since the opening practice. According to an Interpretation by Dean Milnor Roberts of the rule re quiring athletes to have a "good" standing before being permitted to go south, the grades of every junketer must be above 90 and his college record for the previous semester proportional ly good. Jack Connor, the crack short stop, who entering as a freshman the second semester and who has taken the infield Job from the veteran Arncy. is already disqualified by this ruling and some of the best players are threat cned with the same fate. The loss of Jack Johnson, the right handed whirlwind of the slab; Captain Hlckingbottom of stick-work fame and Robin Welts, record batsman of the university, would so cripple the squad that It would not even have a chance for the state championship. 8 GAMES WEEKLY PROBABLE Washington State League Fans Anx ious to Got Olympla to Play. CENTRALTA. Wash.. March 13. (Special.) It is probable that the State League this year will play five games a week, it being hinted by the Aber deen Chamber of Commerce that this is one of the conditions by which Aber deen would enter 'the league. E. E. Teachnor, principally through whose efforts Aberdeen was secured, agreed to the five-game proposition and suggest ed that they be played' on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays. The rive games a week will not Increase the expenses of the league to any consid erable extent. With Aberdeen in the league a pros perous season Is predicted, and it is the general opinion that In 1913 the league can be expanded to a six-club circuit to Include either Bellingham and Everett or North Takima and Walla Walla, with a consequent better grade of ball and six or seven games a week. A Centralia committee consisting of Maurice Daubney, E. E. Teachnor, J. K. Barnes. E. H. S. Maulder and M. J. Vaughn left for Olympia this morning to induce Olympia to also place a team in the State League. If their efforts prove successful, preparations will be gin immediately for opening the season. MIEBES AND EILMAN CHOSEN Tracy Selects Men to Oppose Seattle Boxers. Boxing Instructor Tommy Tracey of the Multnomah Athletic Club an nounces that Mlebes, 175-pounder, and Ellman, 135-pounde'r. will be the Port land boxing representatives against the Seattle Athletic Club at the inter club boxing and wrestling smoker in Portland next Friday night. The other interclub men. wrestlers at 125 and 158 pounds, have not been chosen, but Mc Carthy will undoubtedly be Eddie O'Connell's mat nomination at the mid dleweight poundage. The Seattle smoker will be a six bout affair, according to present plans, two boxing preliminaries being added to the regular interclub schedule. Larry Madden and Mark O'Donnell, heavy-weights, will go on In a three round exhibition, while Krleger, of the Columbus Club, probably will meet White or Madden, of Multnomah, at 145 pounds. The coming smoker will be the ini tial "members only" affair at Multno mah. Heretofore the smokers were open to the public.

In one of the most superb uphill athletic battles ever witnessed in this end of the state. University of Oregon's basketball five tonight won the Northwest conference championship by outpointing; Wash ington University in a second game. 17 to 13. So spirited was the guarding that the score stood level at 13 to 13 for the last seven and a half minutes of the regular gam. In Ave extra minutes of play mutual ly agreed upon, Walker of Oregon slipped a neat field goal after banging a dribble half the length of the floor and Bradshaw, Oregon guard. im mediately deposited another, ending the tarriflc suspense. As the game closed .Staatz, Washington's acting captain, was carried from the floor in a faint. Seattle Opena Strong. Washington opened strong, grabbing ten points right off the bat, but after the first 11 minutes of the game, the deD-seated determination of the Ore- gonians gained sway and from then on, 44 minutes, the northerners failed to make a single field basket. Staatz annexed their remaining point by a free throw early in the second half. Meanwhile Hayward s men were gradually creeping up on the lead. two foul throws by Fenton bridging the final two-point gap. He missed three attempts and Staaz failed in four consecutive trys, any one of which meant victory. The lineup and point registry: Washington Forwards. Staatz 9. Tupper, Byler; center.

Oregon's claim to the championship is based upon the showing made in the original conference schedule rati fied by the conference managers in Portland last December. This schedule awarded Oregon ten conference games and the Oregon Agricultural College nine. Of these each lost two games to Washington on the Seattle floor, giving Oregon the theoretical suprem acy on percentage. Tbe. Corvallis men won two addi tional games versus conference teams, Idaho and Pullman, according to Man- ers Geary, of Oregon, and Zednick, of Washington. These were tardily arranged Independent of the regular schedule and should not swing the con ference laurels to Corvallis. While here the Washington, Pullman and Idaho players publicly conceded the Oregon team stronger than the Aggies.
