FOUR POINT SHOW HOPE OF FANCIERS local Fanciers Asked to Judge at Exhibits Elsewhere and George S. Thomas, English Profession' al, Will Be on Staff. Dog fanciers already are looking for ward to April 2, as the opening day of the dog show which Is to be held here In the Bungalow Theater for four days, Last year the show was a three-point one. but came so close to being a four that with equal prospects this year the committee expects to achieve its fond' est hope of equaling Seattle and San Francisco In that respect. The members of the Portland Kennel Club, under whose auspices the show 1b staged annually, consider themselves most fortunate in their new president, Alfred A. Hampson, whose presence has already been felt through an increased membership. He promises 25 additional members, and is Indefatigable in his efforts for the show, being a keen ex hibitor himself. Presidents Watklns and Bradley resigned in succession on account of business affairs. The bench show committee was an nounced yesterday to consist of Dr. Alan Welch Smith, Dr. George B. Storey and Frank E. Watklns, while E. P. , Bodley, who will be out of town for the next ten days,' is coming back spe cially to be show superintendent. As surance is given to prospective entrants that their dogs will be well looked after and the premiums and prizes up to former years. F. K. Watklns to Judge. Owing to the fact that the fanciers of the West require his services as judge, Frank E. Watklns will not ex hibit on the Coast at all this year. He Is going to judge four of the largest classes at the Seattle snow, having the task of picking the winners among the bull terriers, the French and English bulldogs and Boston terriers. This Is the first year in 14 that' Mr. Watklns will not have exhibited. W. B. Kechhelmer, of fox terrier fame, will also judge In Seattle, taking charge of the fox terriers, the Irish, Welsh, Scotch and Airedale breeds. This is the first time that any Portland man has been asked to judge any of the large shows. The circuit of shows, as given out by the local secretary, J. J. McCarthy, indicates that Los Angeles will have first place, opening March 15. with Oak land the following week. Then a jump is made to Portland, where the show lasts from April 2 to S,- Inclusive, and is followed by Seattle, April 9 to 12 Tacoma follows and then San Francisco will wind up the Coast shows with the last week in April. Professional Judge Here. The Airedale Futurity Club, which held Its show here last year, probably will go to Seattle this year, because Portland is making no attempt to per suade them to come here. All the same. nn account of the fact that Portland has a professional judge, In the snap of Oeorge S. Thomas, the English spe cialist, all the terriers of any class will be shown here in any case. Mr. Thomas judged the Crystal Pal ece show In London last year and also officiated at the great society function in Paris, the French Bulldog Show. His international reputation alone Is er pected to bring many dogs here, as all owners prefer to have their dogs nan died by such men, however good ama teurs may be. Last year Portland came considerably nearer being a lour-point than a three point show, having some 2S0 dogs benched, needing only 20 more to in sure the higher rating. Western quali fication is somewhat different from the Eastern, five points being given here for 400 dogs actually benched. four points for 300 and so on In pro portion, while in the East 1000 dogs have to be on show to gain the maxi mum, TS0 for four points and 500 for three.

ALL-STAR 5 PICKED Mythical Team Chosen From Intercholastic League. FOSTER ONLY UNDISPUTED C. Larsen, of Columbia, Fernley and Knouff, of Washington, and Gage, of, Lincoln, Complete Teaim Selected by Uochfeld. C. Larsen (Columbia), forward. Fernley (Washington), forward. Foster (Washington), center. Cage (Lincoln), guard. Knouff (Washington), guard. BY FRANK HOCEFELD. Three members of the Washington High School', basketball team, cham pion of the 1913 Portland Interscholast lc League, are worthy of all-star berths on the 1913 team. Dan Foster, center for Washington, is the only player In the league whose position on a possible all-star five is undisputed. Although there was a wide field from which to fill the other po sitions, the final analysis compels the selection of the following: Gage (Lin coln), . guard; Knouff (Washington), guard; C. Larsen (Columbia), forward, and Fernley (Washington), forward. loster has the distinction of having made the 1912 Portland lnterscholastic all-star team. Although there remains one more lnterscholastic game in which the Washington quintet is to play Fos ter Is leading the league as a point- earner, having scored 55 points in four games, never has the league produced a more accurate basket shooter. He has been playing basketball with the Wash ington team for the past three years. C LArsen. Columbia s diminutive for ward, has made a record for himself al though this is the first year he has played on the regular team. His play lng either on defensive or offensive Is of high order and as a point producer he is hard to beat. In the five games that he has taken part in he suc ceeded In scoring 53 points, an average of better than 10 points to a game. In the game against Washington larsen threw five sensational field baskets, the greatest number to be scored by any man in the league against this team, and his playing in this contest contributed largely to the wonderful snowing Columbia made against the champions. Knouff, who is playing his second year at guard for the Washington High team, has had the most success ful season of his career. His ability to intercept passes and accurate pass ing of the ball, is unsurpassed. Al though bis position is guard he will always be found wherever the ball may be, and at the same time manages to cover his man. Gage, guard for Lincoln, is a new player this season, compared with his showing on last year's team. The fact that he Is one of the lightest players In the league fails to keep him from worsting his larger opponents. He Is without doubt the fastest man on his feet in the league and Is able to run the entire length of the floor to re ceive the ball. No other player in the league can put more speed in shooting the ball than Gage. Although severe criticisms have been leveled at Fernley. forward for Wash ington, because of his extreme rough playing, an Inspection of comparative records gives him a position as a mem ber of the mythical five. In the Colum bia, Lincoln and Jefferson games, the most Important contests that Washing ton engaged in, rernley was the star player. It was bis accurate basket throwing in the Lincoln championship game that enabled the Washington quintet to bring about victory. Clarence Hendrlckson, playing guard position for the Jefferson High team, was worthy of an all-star position until he spoiled his chances by going into the Washington game with an Injured ankle. Few players have anything on Hendrlckson when it comes to Inter cepting long passes. A. M. Grilley, official referee of the league, thought Hendrlckson all-star caliber until his last game. Cudlipp of Lincoln, and Jewel, of Washington, playing forward positions. played good ball and should not be overlooked in picking the good material in the league. Billy Lewis, Lincoln's forward, was handicapped In every important gam that Lincoln played. In several in stances he was guarded by two men and did not have a chance to nlay the game as he can under ordinary circumstances. Simzcy, fbrrrard f l j tw PULLMAN IS GHAMP' Conference Basketball Contest Is Decided. 12 OF 14 GAMES ARE WON University of Washington Quintet Is Probable Winner of Second Place, With Oregon Agricultural . Team Third. The Washington State College basket ball five clinched the Northwest College conference championship of 1913 when it defeated the University of Oregon quintet on the Eugene floor Thursday night. After that victory, no matter what the outcome of the two remaining games against the Oregon "Aggies." Coach Bohler's men had a strangle hold on the title which was the subject of so much wrangling last season.

The loss of the two remaining games on the schedule would have given them 12 victories and four losses, one more victory and one less defeat than the University of Washington, and the same handicap over the "Aggies," even had the Corvallis boys taken the two games from Pullman and four from the University of Oregon next week. The Universities of Washington and Idaho have finished their season, the former winning 11 games and losing five, and the latter winning only two In 16 played. Apparently Washington has second position safe, with the odds favoring the "Aggies" for third posi tion. One feature of the season's play has been the uniformity of schedule, which calls for an even number of games, 16 for each five in the five-team circuit. This obviated the possibility of such a condition as arose last year, with rival teams claiming the title on different number of games played. Next week comes the Oregon part of the struggle, with the other three teams finished. The "Aggies" go to Eugene for two games on Wednesday and Thursday, with return games at Cor vallis on 1'riday and Saturday. Krause, Heilmann and Cunningham, prospective Beavers, have been work ing out daily at Golden Gate park, be sides playing Sunday games with semi professional teams. They expect to leave today for Visalia, Outfielder Cunningham has been trying to change his retrieving form on high flies and, as a consequence, has been making a good many errors in the semi-professional games this Winter. Return Match Between Wolgast and Ritchie Declared Visible Project and Washington's Birthday Decision Cited as In Line. . BT ROSCOE! FAWCETT. SAN FRANCISCO. March L (Spe cial.) It would take a Cuban machete to cleave the gloom enveloping the local sport rendezvous. What with an anti-boxing law almost sure to pass the State Legislature, the strains of the mad waltz hushed on the "coast" where midnight revelries have earned for Ban Francisco the sobriquet "Paris of America," and Seal baseball prospects not at all encouraging, little wonder the San Francisco pleasure-seeker Is a trifle nonplussed. While little comment is being passed on the prospective boxing mortuaries it takes a lot of courage to admit the doom of the ring game in California, you know those on the inside declare it is a two-to-one Bhot that the ax will fall when the Legislators reassem ble at Sacramento this month. Fifty thousand dollars is up at a local commission headquarters at these odds. Promotor Jimmy Cofforth, perhaps th cleverest impresario In the world, is sanguine that he will be able to pull off another bout July 4. But he is almost the only manipulator In a small army of keen soothsayers who falls to see the "Mene, mene tekel Upharson" being scribbled across the wall. Senator Brown, of Los Angeles, Is the leader of the reform faction. If California votes out the mitt game, it will be the worst blow boxing has re ceived within recent history, for the golden state has always maintained the lead. Finish fights will be prac tically a thing of the past. Hot many months ago horseracing was put out of commission by the re formers. The attack on boxing and the onslaught on the gorgeous lobster pal aces are but plain indications of the moving of the tide. It will not be long before San Francisco will be closed up tighter than the vaults In the local mint. That the local fight promoters are planning a return Wolgast-Rltchle lightweight championship match is as plain as Goat Island in San Francisco Bay. Murphy beat Wolgast with ease In their Washington 8 birthday matinee, yet those in command of local fistiana affairs smile blandly and try to ex plain where any other decision but a draw would have worked an injustice on one or the other. The afternoon extras carried the fight round by round as It was telephoned from the ringside and It was Murphy all the way up to the fourteenth round. Yet, when the boys got through Inter viewing the promoters and the referee, argument quickly convinced them that Jim Griffin was right. Murphy has been fighting for 13 years and would not furnish much bait for a championship bout with Ritchie, But Wolgast well, that's different. Viewed from the promotion angle, one can hardly blame them for calling the bout a draw when both were on their feet at the finish. Remember this, though, if Wolgast had given Murphy the pummeling that he receipted for February 22, the news papers and referee would have united in exclaiming: Won by a mile, Tom Tennant, the ex-Seal first sacker who played with Sioux City In the Western League last season, has been trying for weeks to land a berth with Walter McCredie. According to close friends of his he has written the Portland manager several letters ex tolling his over-abundance of pepper. Tennant was railroaded out of the league as a result of a fuss with Danny Long and Cal Ewing. Although a hard man to keep in the traces the red head is superior to some of the first Backers In the Coast League In 1912. Jimmy Rlordan, McCredie's fourth California recruit, gave up his work at St. Mary's College early in the week, and will be a prompt arrival at Visalia to make a bid for a catching job. He weighs close to 175 pounds and is con fident of landing a position. Al Walters, one of Nick Williams" aspiring outfielders, cut all sorts of capers In a Sunday game at Richmond recently. Playing with the Clarions and batting against Bill Burns, old Cln. clnnati heavers, Walters knocked out a homer, two triples and one double in four times up.

OLD TALENT STILL ON LIST Invitation for Coeur d'Alene Regatta May Be Accepted if It Does Not Conflict With ate of . North Pacific Meet. The Portland Rowing Club will hold its first 'practice of the 1913 season today on the Willamete. and a large number of boatmen are expected to turn out. Good weather and an invi tation of the Coeur d'Alene Chamber of Commerce, asking; tne local club to send entries to the first annual re gatta on July 3 to 6, are the reason for the early turnout, although the club is yet undecided whether or not to make the trip. H. G. Chickering, secretary of the Portland Rowing Club, has written to the Vancouver Rowing Club, asking on what date the North Pacific Associa tion regatta is to be staged. Should the date not conflict with the Coeur d'Alene aquatic meet, the Portland Club will send a couple of teams to Idaho to meet the Nelson, B. C, oarsmen, old time rivals, who have declared their Intention of entering. In order to give the light oarsmen of the North Pacific Association or Ama teur Oarsmen an opportunity to com pete In the coming meet to be held in Vancouver, B. C during the early part of July, the Association has arranged to hold several sculling events in the 140-pound class. The North Pacific As sociation is composed of the Vancouver, Victoria and Portland rowing clubs. The Portland club has a number of rowers in this class and should make a strong showing. On the past perform ances of Cooper, Newell, Havely and McFaul It is probable that these oars men will represent the Portland club In the 140-pound class. A majority of the Portland rowers who took part in the last North Pacific Association meet, and were victors m five of the seven events, are back at the club and expect to participate this year. Newell and - Havely, winners in the junior and senior doubles in the last meet, will answer the roll-call for practice today. A. Pfaender, of the Portland Rowing Club, champion single sculler of the North Pacific Association, will also be out this season. Tensvold is the only member of the Junior four-oared crew that won in the last meet who Is missing this year. Spoons, Dyrlund and Meyers and the other three rowers are still at the club, and all have declared their in tention of being out again this com ing season. The Oregon Yacht Club has added rowing races as an added feature to Its 1913 opening. Decoration day. Dr. Jack Yates, president of the club, has also arranged for motorboat. yacht, canoe and swimming races on this day. A number of silver trophies will be put up for the winners.
