Tacoma April SO Complete Sched-
nle of LeagHe Series.
Contrary to expectations, the baseball
season in Portland "will not begin until
May 13, when Portland and Helena will
cross bats. The Portland men will begin
the season's work at Tacoma on April 29,
ard will play in Spokane the following
week. The Portland cranks are some
what dlsappointetd over the turn of af
fairs, but the fact that Helena will ap
pear In the opening series in this city
will somewhat appease their feelings, for
the local baseball followers are anxious
to see the Montana boys play ball.
"Vigneux has received propositions from
prominent players In all parts of the coun
try, and will soon have a full complement
o fmen. Although he has signed but two
players Mahaffey and Hupp he has sev
eral others on his string, and expects to
conclude negotiations with some of them
in a few days. Nearly all of the best
players of last season's nine will return,
and Vigneux believes that he will put
out a winning team.
At the Spokane meeting the following
directors were chosen for the coming year:
D. E. Dugdale, of Seattle; C. H. Lane, of
Butte; L. A. Walker, of Helena; C. A,
Wliltemore, of Pprtland; H. G. Brown, of
"W. H. IiHcas, President of Paclnc
Northwest Baseball Lcagrnc.
Spokane; J. S. Baker, of Tacoma. Presi
dent Lucas, who 'presided, carried his
point as to umpires. No men have yet
been signed to preside over the diamonds.
It is reported that last year's umpires.
O'Connell and McDonald, have signed
with the California League, and Presi
dent Lucas will not act in making ap
pointments until he hears from them. The
appointment of Ed Rankin, of Portland,
and Ralph Dodd, of Spokane, as substi
tute umpires was made in recognition of
the demands of the cranks in the two
:ltles for their appointment, and also as
-ecognition of their services to baseball
last season.
The accompanying table shows the com
plete schedule of games for the season of
1902, which was adopted at the meeting
Df the league delegates In Spokane.

CharleN A. Redmond Elected by Uni
versity of Oregon Athletes.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Jan. 30.
At a meeting of the board of athletic man
agers this afternoon Charles A. Redmond
was elected trainer of the track team for
the coming season. Since the season of
1895, with the exception of the season of
1SS7, the track athletes have been trained
by William O. Trine, but this year 2k" r.
Trine's services could not bo secured, as
he has gone to Salem to take charge of
the state fair-grounds.
Redmond Is an old footracer, haling
made his first appearance at the Salem
intercollegiate field meet in 1S93. when he
ran on the team from Pacific College.
For the past two years he has been a
member of the University of Oregon team,
and wescaptain of the team that defeat
ed Multnomah and Washington last year.
He has a record of 0:51 for the 440-yard
dash. He was manager of the 'varsity
football team last season. He is thorough
ly familiar with the best training meth
ods, and good work is expected from him.
As Mr. Redmond nvlll receive no compensa
tion for his services, his amateur status
will not be affected, and he will probably
run in all the meets in which the Oregon
men enter.
TOMarST RYAN THE VICTOR.
Knocks Oat GeorKe Green In Sev
enth. Roand at Kansas City.
KANSAS CITY. Mo., Jan. 30. Tommy
Ryan, of this city, who claims the middle-weight
championship of the world,
tonight knocked out George Green, of San
Francisco, in the seventh round of what
was scheduled as a 10-round contest be
fore a large audience in Armory Hall.
From the first round, in which Green
was forced to take the count, until the
decisive blow was landed, the result was
never in doubt. Ryan was the aggressor
throughout, and Green was at no time
able to withstand the furious rushes of
his opponent.
In the flrst round, after knocking Green
over the ropes with a hard right in the
ribs, Ryan landed again with his left
on Green's Jaw, with such telling effect
that the latter was forced to take the
count. In the second round Ryan rained
body blows on his opponent, whose dis
tress caused, him again to go to his knees
for five seconds. Green made his best
showing in the third round, when he
landed a half dozen times, but without ap
parent effect on Ryan. In the beginning
of the fourth round Ryan landed a clean
right on the Jaw, which knocked Green
down. After this Green was in great dis
tress, and ran around the ring to avoid
his opponent. Ryan was waiting now
only to land a knock-out punch, and after
one minute and 20 seconds In the seventh
round he landed another right on the
Jaw, and Green went flat on his back.
Green was counted out, and had to be
carried to his dressing-room, and was
revived with some difficulty.
Ryan announced tonight that he is
ready to fight any middle-weight In the
world.

peated fouling by Freeman. The beaten

Shamrock May Race Again.
NEW YORK, Jan. 30. Gossip among
yachtsmen is to the effect that Sir Thom
as Llpton's Shamrock II will participate
in the special cup races during the com
ing season in American waters. Sir Thom
as' wishes in the direction of sailing his
boat against either Constitution or Colum
bia received little encouragement after his
defeat In the attempt to lift the Amer
ica's cup. but- It is now said that some
of the members of the Constitution syn
dicate have reconsidered their decision.
In the event of Constitution and Sham
rock being put In commission, the Larch
mont and New York Athletic clubs will
offer special prizes for them to race for.
The Newport Association also would like
to arrange races, and there is the $7500
Lawson cup. which the Hull-Massachusetts
Club might offer if the yachts go to
Boston. It is not known if the Colum
bia will be placed In commission or not.
Athletic Chancres In California.
The athletic managers of Stanford Uni
versity and the University of California'
held a meeting at Berkeley on Tuesday
evening and decided to hold the big inter!
collegiate football game in San Francisco

to require athletes coming from other In
stitutions to attend Stanford and Cali
fornia for one college year before being
eligible for membership on Intercollegiate
teams, and that no athlete be permitted
to compete for more than four years al
together, his work on other college teams
counting as part of his four years. It is
quite likely that the Stanford-California
field meet will be held on the Tanforan
track this year. It was decided to ask the
faculties of the two universities to pun
ish students for misconduct in intercol
legiate contests.

LONDON. Jan. 30. Answering a ques

ROCHEFORT AND LYNCH.
Their Views on the Outlook
for
Peace in South Africa.
NEW YORK, Jan. 30. M. Henri Roche
fort, editor of Intransigeant. cables the
Journal and American from Paris regard
ing the outlook for peace in South Africa:
"There ought to be peace, but upon a
basis similar to that given to the Cuban
Republic and which should also make
the Philippines free. The Republic of
Cuba Is a glorious example for the Boers
In two ways. First, It demonstrates the
effectiveness of a people fighting for home
and freedom; second, that the liberty-loving
spirit still lives in the United States.
The Boers have astonished the world and
deserve freedom. The intermediaries who
are feeling their way to peace should re
member this."
Colonel Arthur Lynch, who served In
the Boer Army and recently was elected
to Parliament from Galway, also cables
the Journal and American from Paris:
"Both sides have strong reasons for de
siring peace. If they fight another six
months, the situation may not be materl-
j ally altered, and. it is Impossible to say
exactly what Is the military situation. It
Is certain that now the Boers are as optim
istic ao they were a year ago with regard
to their ability to hold out, while Eng
land's situation Is becoming Intolerable,
not only on account of enormous expense,
but on account of the stagnation of trade
and loss of prestige In the diplomatic
world.
"Nor arc the Boers on a bed of roses,
and they, like England, have long desired
peace if the terms are on a satisfactory
basis.
"Peace Is possible, for there are only a
few,po!nts about which both sides are not
In accord. The main thing Is to have a
tangible feasible programme, and the
antagonists will soon get that If they
come together, and peace may be looked
for very soon!"

Native Labor In Transvaal Mines.
LONDON, Jan. 30. A blue book issued
tonight gives details of an extensive plan
proposed by Lord Mllner, the British
High Commissioner In South Africa, for
handling the question of native labor in
the mining region. Lord Mllner proposes
to abolish flogging, and rigidly to control
the liquor traffic among the blacks. He
admits this latter to be a tremendous un
dertaking, but eays:
"While I realize the difficulties, I also
feel that we are bound by hook or crook
to overcome them. The whole credit of
the administration Is at stake. I am con
fident that his Majesty's government will
support our view that no trouble or ex
pense should be spared In carrying out a
policy which, if successful, means a mo
mentous triumph for civilization in this
part of the world."

A GOVERNMENT DEFEAT
AMENDMENTS TO THE NEW GER
MAN TARIFF BILL.
Reichstag: Committee Adopts & Mo
tion ReqeirlnK Certificate of Or
igin on ForelRH-Made Goods.
BERLIN, Jan. 30. The government was
defeated today In the tariff committee
of the Reichstag by 15 votes to 10 on
the amendment of Herr Gamp, Conserva
tive, requiring the production of certifi
cates of origin on all goods subject to
duties differing in amount, according to
the country where they are manufactured.
Falling the production of certificates of
origin, the highest duty shall be Im
posed, except in cases where no doubt
exists that the goods were made in a
country entitled to lower rates, In which
case certificates may be dispensed with.
The committee voted on this amend
ment Immediately after Count Posadow-sky-Wehner,
the Imperial Secretary ot
State for the Interior, speaking for the
government, said: "The federated gov
ernments cannot accept any proposition
making certificates of origin an ordinary
requirement. I regret .that the committee
is devoting so much time to discussing
amendments that cannot become law."
The committee adopted the first section
of paragraph S, which is cs follows:
"Dutiable goods from any country treat
ing German ships and German goods less
favorably than it treats those of other
states may be subjected, besides the reg
ular duty, to double rates, or the full
value of the goods. Goods not subject
to duty can be taxed half their value."
Count von Schwerln-Ioewitz, Conserva
tive, offered an amendment empowering
the government to treat the goods Im
ported from foreign countries with tne
same duties and customs regulations that
the same countries apply to Germany, in
so far as the treaties would permit of
such action.
Herr Beumer said that German duties,
especially against the United States, were
too low.
Baron Heyl Zu Herrnsheim, Liberal,
complained of the heavy trade balance
against Germany In the American trade.

COLDS
AT ONCE
During the last year more sufferers from colds,v
whether in the head or lungs, have been cured by
Halpruner's Wonderful Medicine than all the-other
medicines combined.
What is the use of wasting words and suffering
with a cold when you can get relief within two min
utes' time after taking Halpruner's?
People who know the value of Halpruner's Won
derful Medicine never have colds any more they
keep this remarkable medicine in their home, where
they can get at it quickly as soon as they feel the
first symptoms of cold.
For a cold in the head they inhale the vapor by
pouring a few drops of the medicine in their hands
and holding them beneath the nostrils also taking
a teaspoonful every hour or so. The inhalations
give immediate relief and the internal dose drives
out the cold and the cause of it.
If the cold is in the throat or lungs they rub the
medicine in until they know it has penetrated deep
ly and is doing the work it was intended to do. In
ternal doses are also good for a cold in the throat
and lungs, for Halpruner's seeks the seat of the
trouble and removes the causes quickly and per
manently. All druggists sell Halpruner's Wonderful Medi
cine 50c and $ia bottle. If you find one who does
not ask him to get it for you. If he will not get it' -and
tries to talk you out of it go to the next drug
store and demand the genuine
iblpruner,s

we will send you a bottle by prepaid expressage. Halpruner
