Tournanient SALEM, March 20 (JPh-Alter a day of heart-breaking games, in which v. Hoclcinntwl in the last minute of play by margins of one th Ktt basketball or two points, the state basketball tournament today goes into its third day, with the two championship ml -finals and four games In the consolation series on the schedule. 16 was. a hard, day for both, winners and losers in the close contests, and .WinH fan mnrf than the customary round or. twins, i ne 4nn- wB nnu(. in trvn inctmu-ea. and then only after a spirited battle and by a shade difference in score. I was apparently Portland's time last night, both teams from the Ore gon metropolis winning their games Against the best teams of the far east, and from the far south of Ore goo. l?ut 1ft had to fight every foot ot the way, and never were the gomes 'on Ice.", Both, Baker and Ashland took: the leads and held them the first period at least, while Ashland tied the score against Benson In the last few minutes of play.

The vic tors of the Tlllamook-Myrtle Point game and the Ashland -Baker tilt will play twice during the day ending up with,, a match against each other. Ub to Pendleton or Salem It remains with Pendleton or Salem Portland teams, if these two segrega tion are to be kept from meeting each, other In the final. That task 1 will have to be accomplished during the day. Salem, with Its star player. Kitchen on the sick list, did not show to advantage yesterday, but may play a different type of game against stronger opposition. Myrtle Point failed to show any offensive threat, but the players checked close on de fensive play and held Salem down to a lower score than. was expected. In the night championship tilts the largest crowd of the present tournament sat through two hours of frenzied playing, and there was no leaving until the final gun or the last game was fired. It was a bill of fare, the kind which is seldom seen ' on any gymnasium floor in such short space of time. . Baker Takes Karlv Lead In the first of these Baker took the lead over Jefferson and scored live points before Jefferson got un der way, Shcaley, Baker forward was largely responsible for this lead. The crowd went wild as the first period ended' with, a 7 to 5 lead for the eastern squad. Then Brown, Jeffer son guard, started his strong ox bas ket shooting and did not quit until ;fae not only tied the score but forced ;hia team Into the lead, which was never overtake), by Baker. The pass ing work of the Baker nlavers exrnd In this game, while Jefferson had dif- flculty In locating the barket, throw- 1 lug away shot after shou The half tended 16 to 10 for Jefferson. v. The third period was more even with Jefferson gaining another point to end it with, a score of 26 to 19. It was during the last period that Ba ker again crawled up and twice came within striking distance of the Port- j landers. The lead was too safe, bow- ever, and In the final minutes the gap was widened to 10 points, In which manner the game ended. Bui If the fans thought the thrills of the evening were over with, they soon learned their mistake, as they had barely started. The Benson Ashland contest did the rest, and the tied score for fully four minutes of the second game In the last pe riod,, had- tho cheering crowd on Its feet. Ashland started In the same man ner as Baker had taklne the leari. ; for a time by auc points. Wcise. Ben-j on forward, tied th, score by a tree I .rT.t V,'.".

I One of the tied scores occurred In I the third, when Reed or and Howell I brought the score to 18, matching the Benson tally, but Benson again went Into the lead, this time by four points and the third quarter ended I 20 to 16. But Ashland was far from discouraged. Howell scored two more. to again tie the score, later taking the ieaa once more ior a iew seconds, witn a goal after Reeder failed to con nect. The crowd went Into a frenzy and both teams were playing frantic ally for the advantage In the final moments. Hesler, Benson guard tied the score for Benson, after whloh the 1 tie of 23 all remained until the last ! minute ond a half. Courtney, right guara ior Benson got away witn a clear shot and put over the winning score. The game was over, but the crowd was still breathless when the gun was fired.

March 20 Wi The Phillies pitchers are giving Manager Shot ton no end of worry. Shotton said today the five straight defeats of the Phillies in exhibition games bore a close resemblance to last year's debacles, with the pitchers "blowing" leads almost dally. With Hal Lee leading the attack, the Phillies hammered over 37 runs In the five exhibition games, but Shotton said the hurling had been so soft it had allowed their oppon ents to score G2 tallies. ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., March 20 lit! If anything seems certain about the New York Yankees it is that they are ready to start the season at full speed. Usually rather late starters. Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig are hit ting well above the .350 mark. In the infield. Lyn Lory and Ben Chap man are hitting and fielding in al most mid-season form, and now Herb Pennock. whose 19 years of major league pitching might be advanced as a reason ior uutmg plenty oi tune to get into shape, has started his twentieth season by pitching five in nings and allowing the Cincinnati Reds only six hits.

Keeler I ran across an odd little old bock the other day the proud possession of Prank Sampson of Atlanta, who has taken up the study of golf analysis. , Sampson has designed a huge chart or graph with black disks as a back ground for the player, with the disks so arranged that they are Just back of the performer's head and hips. The alterations of position during backward and forward swings are easily charted and measured by kills lurajis. Bobby PonW blond bean, for ex- describes an almost perfect lttt "S" in making S" in maktnfr a full shot: It moves backward 1th the back sMng. forward the down-swing gets under way. and then backward again at Impact, finishing forward, of course, as the club sweeps through. Al TIIOK LOSES UK All This is by the way. however. The little brown book Is the matter un der consideration, and to me it was especially interesting because it con tained the earliest reference to golf I ever beheld with my own eyes: other and previous references were quoted; I did not see tho books from which they were taken. This little book was presented to Mr. Sampson at Edinburgh in July. 1905, by Lord Charles Guthrie. In his Inscription, he says this book is by "a very Interesting Scottish lord, the great Marquis of Argyle. beheaded 1661." The letters are addressed to his son. the Earl of Argyle also be headed, 1685. That Is what the little brown book is letters. It is entitled: "Instructions to a Son. under the following heads, viz.. Religion, Mar riage. The Court, Friendship. Tra vail, Hospitality and Housekeeping. Tenants and Other Concerns of Es tates. Study an4 Exercise. Pleasure and Idleness. Considerations of Laie. Maxims of State, and Miscellaneous , Observations." j The book was printed and sold. ; "by Richard Baldwin, near the Black Bull, in the Old Baily. lBt." 1 But it must have been writ ten prior to 1661. because the noble Mar i quia was beheaded in that year.

Could t Associstrxi Pre Sports Editor The boys from Broadway were very ; much desed this winter bv the ; failure of Miami and Its neihtwinc sccial cclc.no- to become excited over tte heavyweight festivals arranged in t he interests of stimula tir t he trade. The prospective customers mani fested an extreme apathy indeed, with the result that the Walker- j itisxo ana n;cr-Ai-K;icy an airs - showed an ajnvate net deficit of i nearly iw OOU as toe season has a.r, thi was very Inuxs-taht money and diKoura&mg to the aluuisuc gentlemen seeking to uphold the arts and sciences of fisticuffing. Of course, the boys from Broadway modo the big mistake themselves of trying to force two fistic flowers to bloom where there was barely enough financial soil for one to break even. It was a curious split-up. Frank J. Bruen, the race track executive, had Camera's contract and refused all bids for It after his break with Madison Square Garden. He went desnita all ' obstacles, with his own show, although with the aid of such well known Ga rde n a 1 des as Mike Jacobs, the ticket broker, and Frank Albertanti, the energetic publicity man. Meanwhile, with "Pa Stribllne ostensibly as front man. Garden in terests backed the Walker - Risko show. It was all very confusing and the boys had no one but themselves to blame, after all. showing that cre dulity In this world of sport Is not coniinea to me ouuying precincts by any means. MICKEY (iHTS BOOST So far as the heavyweight situa tion is concerned, the Miami fights helped at least to boost Mickey Walk er's stock, besides making Camera safe for the big shot against the winner of the Stribllng Schmeling championship fracas. The merits of the decision in Car nere'a favor over Jimmy Moloney are not highly important and the cir cumstances, if any, will be forgotten shortly. The main business of squar ing accounts with, the Boston Irish man was accomplished with neatness and dispatch. The build-up. there fore, will be easier, especially as to speculation on goodness knows how much damage this Venetian Villa may be able to inflict, once he is sound again In rib and wind. - ONB WANT A SMAKKKY There mry be a lot more maneu vering behind the scenes before the heavyweight program is definitely laid out for the year. Bill Carey, the New York Garden's chief executive, has not entirely abandoned hope of arranging at least one big shot for the outdoor campaign in the Yankee Start um, featuring the lorlorn and outcast Jack Sharkey. If Jack Dempsey could be per suaded to have another fling, the ballyhoo would be easy, but Demp sey's services come at a very high, figure for these disturbing days. Camera has been sought earnestly by Carey but it would cost the Itali an's managers $25,000. as well as the championship shot, should they for sake the present lineup with Strib llng and Schmeling for a new dear with the Garden organization.
