Defeats Hlllsboro Diamond TVs in Opening1 of Amateur Lengrne. In the opening game of the Oregon State League, played -at the professional ball grounds yesterday, the Upchurcn team, of this city, defeated the Diamond W. aggregation, of Hlllsboro, by a score of 6 to L The day was perfect, and the 00 spectators enjoyed one of the best amateur games played here in many a day. Ex-Mayor W. A. Storey launched the destinies of the league by tossing the first ball, and, had the throw been counted, it would have been a sure strike. Mr. Storey is somewhat of a baseball fiend himself, having played on the Se attle Reds some 25 years ago. Yesterday's match was a fine exhibition of the great National sport, but the home team showed general superiority of play, although the visitors rallied at times and made things lively. Johnny Harklns, a Portland lad, occupied the box for Hllls boro, and his work was good, although he was touched tip for a number of safo HORSE PROMOTED A GRADE. L.

As Commodore Schley he made a zood record, but as a f ul 1 Admiral he is expected to clip some seconds off It. hits. Mcach pitched a good gamo for the local nine, but was batted hard In the seventh. With the exception of the third Inning, when Upchurch bunched In four runs, the game was close. Haynes, the weighty third baseman of the Port land aggregation, mado any number of safe hits, and in the third inning lined out a three-bagger. Shortly afterwards Rich Parrott made a two-base hit, bring ing Haynes from third and Davey from second. Allen, shortstop for Upchurch, played a consistent game throughout, making ac curate throws to first. The Diamond W's single ecor6 was made by Sommers, in the seventh. The game was umpired by E. E.

At the beginning of the first half of the ninth, the score stood 2 to 2, and In the ninth inning, with the Monograms at the bat, one run was made after the side had been called out. Owing to a misunder standing over the decision of the umpire, some of the players had left the field, and the game was terminated.

Wet-weather during the past week pro hibited any fast trial driving on the Irv ington track. A great deal of work was done by the trainers In expectation of warm days, but as the weather did not moderate the promised track trials were not forthcoming. AH the racers are In fine condition, and a few days of sunshine will give an idea of the speed they can make. In the Eastern part of the state horses have been making good time. Starkey, a favorite at Salem, Is being worked by James Erwln at Pendleton. On early trial he has made 2:35, and this mark may afford an Idea of what he will do In the Summer and Fall. Erwln also has Ollle M., Oregon Sunshine and a 3-year-old -by Chehalls. Hassak, Frazler at tho reins, is clearing 2:35, and Nat White has five Heppner horses, owned by Swaggart, In training. Swearlngen Bros, have a 3-year-old son of Chehalls, which is expected to make a mark. Tom Thompson Is jogging W. J. Furnlsh's Beauty, by Chehalls, and Is making a good showing. Nearly all these Eastern Oregon horsea will be entered for the Portland meet. -One of the prize horses which G. E. Perrlnger, of Umatilla County, owns Is Mount Hcod, which has been entered on the Eastern circuit. Mount Hood, Heller working at Pendleton, has stepped eights in 0:16, and a futuro Is predicted for him. The entries made for him are as follows: Denver, Colo., Juno a, purse 51000; Colum bus, O.. July 23, purse 12000; Buffalo, N. Y., August 9, purse $2000; Providence, R. I., August 25, purse $2000; Hartford, Conn., September 1, purse $3000; Enterprise City, N. Y., September 10, purse $5000; Balti more, Md., September 15, purse $3000. News hag reached Portland that Che halls, formerly owned by Frank Frazler, will bo raced this year. Chehalls, 2:0iVi, broke down after the Pendleton horse man disposed of him, but there has al ways been a belief that ho would recuper ate. Few horsemen think that he will ever meet the record to which be was driven by Frazler, but there Is an impres sion that ho will make trouble for other horses and money for his owner. Chehalls is new about 12 years old, but he still has good mettle. Some of Tom D. Condon's horses made good time on the heavy track at Irving ton, during tho week, but no effort was made to test their speed. It has been generally reported that Mr. Condon has had offers for Maymont and T. D. C, but he said yesterday that he would sell neither racer to anybody. Mr. Condon did not deny the report, but he did say that he had received Inquiries for good trotters, and that trotters appeared to be scarce. Freddie C, purchased by the Hamllns, of New York, from the Clancy brothers, of Seattle, Is being entered on the grand circuit under his new name. Prince Di rect. Freddie has a record of 2:14, and to maintain his standing he will have to lower the colors of a lot of good, stiff pacers. John Green, the well-known driver, left Saturday afternoon for Vancouver. B. C, where he will take charge of a stable of fine trotters and pacers that will rep resent British Columbia or a part of It on the North Pacific circuit E., M--- O'Brien's runners, Meringo and Doreen, which, arrived from California Jast week, were Jogged around the Irv ington track and mado a good showing. IS CORVALLIS SECONDARY? Stndcnt-Sngrsrests If This Is So, Ore gon Is About Third. CORVALLIS, Cr.. May 4. (To the Ed itor.) It appears, from a recent news le port frccn Eugene, that the athletic com mittee of the faculty of the University of Oregon has refused the students of that institution the privilege of meeting tho students of the Agricultural College In athletic meets, because a Corvallls news paper accused a professor of that Institu tion of misconduct on tho field of play. The committee seems to have deemed this action necessary, after Oregon Agri cultural College students had refused to make a public apology for the news paper's article. In no way were the stu dents of the Agricultural College respon sible for the utterances of the Corvallls newspaper, or In any way amenable for real or fancied Injury to the professor's dignity, and an unbiased public will con cede that no apology was necessary. In a recent Issue of The Oregonian ap peared a statement from the State Uni versity correspondent. In which a further reason assigned for the athletic commit tee's action was that the Agricultural College, as well as numerous other Insti tutions, were secondary schools. With reference to this matter the Agricultural College has a student body almost double that of tho university, a larger faculty and greater facilities, and the insistence of the university reporter that Oregon Agricultural College is second-class and the State University is first-class is non sense. In athletics In the past few years, Ore gon Agricultural College has, doubtless, been secondary; but we of Oregon Agri cultural College, along with other colleges, know that in athletics it is victors at any cost at the university. Wo know why Heater, the only man who scored first place for the university in the meet with tain. iiiin'HiniiiMm California last year, became a student at Eugene. We also remember defeat Rfier defeat that met the university's football men In their Northern tour last season. We also know that the Institution which, with bray of trumpet and roll of drum, claims to be the ranking school, has scored no victories in oratory or debate in the last two or three years It takes more than athletics to give an institution rank as an educational factor, and more than dollar-mark athletics at that. In the light of the facts, if Oregon Agricultural College Is second class, Is not the uni versity about third? The pushing to the front by the unl- verslty reporter ot these hints of second ary schools and unfairness, docs not only the Agricultural College, but other Val ley Institutions rank Injustice. Innuendo of the sort Is out of place in the public prints, because unwarranted and silly. Its only effect Is that it sets in motion In all minds this query, with reference to tho university: "On what meat does this cur Caesar feed, that he has grown so greatr THOMAS BDLYEU, Student. PORTLAND TEAM IN FIXE TRIM. Players Distinguish Themselves "by Winning; Tacoma Series. The Pacific Northwest Baseball league has begun another successful season, anH reports from the various seats of action Indicate that the great National game Is being well patronized by the public, and that this class Of sport Is even better than last season. From a Portland standpoint, the sjart ha3 been a good one. When. Vig neux and his colts started for Tacoma a week ago, there were many maledictions, and the local "knockers" all had their hammers out, chiming on the anvil. To day these gentlemen have drawn in their horns, for Portland has defeated, in four games out of five, what was reported to be the strongest team In the entire league. Portland is now tied for first place, apd tho winning of the phenomenal 16-lnning ONE OF HELMAN'S iVvV wzz mm L-jjwm h NED THORNE, Sill 1-4. One of H.

On tho track yesterday ho showed a sure rait and an evidence that he would lower his previous record. game yesterday has gladdened the hearts of the local fans, all cf whom are count ing the days until May 13, when Helena and Portland will open the season In this city. Those who thought that young Joe Mahaffey couldn't play baseball were -chagrined last night- when they learned vthat this young man from the Bluo Grass State held down the slab with credit In a tedious 16-innlng game. Mahaffey should be b.vcn a. chance before the critics attempt to pass Judgment on him. His perform ance yesterday was a notable one. Witbcck, the young collegian from New York, is turning out to be a fine pitcher. and George Engle, the old war horse, t continues to twirl his inshoots In the same old way. Fred Weed, who has been shifted to third, is a valuable lnfieldcr, and Lou Mahaffey Is establishing a good record as a hitter, as well as playing his position on first bag without fault. The Tacoma papers say that Andy Anderson Is the best man on the Webfoot team, and can always be depended upon to deliver the goods. Behind the bat, Vlgnetix Is putting up a magnificent game. When it comes to safe hits and two-baggers, he has no equal. Portland's fielders Muller, Hupp and Van Buren, are delighting their friends and terrifying their enemies. They are all batting like fiends, and doing ef fective work in the outfield. The Port lands are all batting well, better than their most ardent admirers predicted. This week Portland will play at Spo kane; Helena at Tacoma, and Butte at Seattle. SPORTSMEN AT SHOOT. Mnltnoman Rod and Gnn Club Pre pares for Jane Meet. The fourth shoot of the Multnomah Rod and Gun Club handicap trophy series was held at the Irvlngton shooting grounds yesterday afternoon. The day was ideal and some fine scores were made. Abraham's S3 out of 100, including five pairs of doubles, which was made In the practice shooting is the best ever made on the ground. Part of the programme of tho shoot of the Northwest tournament, which will be held In Portland June 26, 27 and 23 has been printed, and the rest will soon be ready, so that the programmes can be sent out through the cities of Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Montana. There is a great deal of interest being taken in the coming shoot, epeclally In the surrounding country. Portland shoot ers are doing fine work, and will give the outside contestants a hard rub.

The uniform is a very neat and serviceable one, consisting ot pearl gray padded breeches and shirt of stout serviceable cloth, with cap, belt and stockings" of maroon color. Across the breast of The shirt are the letters "H. H. D. W. Co." In maroon color. The team will resume practicing at once, and will endeavor to secure a game with the team of the Telephone Company, as soon as possible, and hope to wipe out the stain of defeat they suffered at the hands of tho lightning manipulators last season.

Secretary A. E. Gebhardt and Treasurer John Cran, of the Oregon Fish and Game Association, yesterday planted 35,000 East ern, brook trout In the Clackamas River and tributaries. These small trout, which are now about an Inch in length, were hatched in the Clackamas hatchery, and when grown will be the gamiest of fish. They are hardy and will thrive, experi ments having shown that 90 per cent of them reach maturity. In a few weeks, a fine supply of rainbow trout will be plant ed by the association, which is certainly doing good work for the future fishermen of the state. Jl number of local anglers were out yes terday, but for some unknown reason the speckled beauties refused to bite, and no large catches wore reported. OPPOSED TO PRIZE FIGHT.

A man from "way down East," who arrived here a year or more ago. and pur chased a email tract of brush land near Portland, where he built him a home and cleared off a pa.tch for a garden, is anxious to find out how he can kill out the fern on his tract. He states that he had no trouble In grubbing out and get ting rid of the young fir trees, the hazel, dogwood, alder and other trees and bushes which covered his tract, and that h$ plowed and raked and harrowed it, and carted off all the fern roots that came in sight, but that the fern 13 springing up as thick as ever. He has made investiga tions, and finds that every bit of fern root left in the ground is sending up from one to half a dozen or more shoots, and he Is beginning to feel discouraged and would like to find out some way of killing out the pestiferous weed. The fertile soil and genial climate of Oregon gives plant life of all kinds greater vigor and vitality than the rude climate and infertile soil of way down East, and consequently weeds and noxious plants are much more difficult to ex terminate here. Quite a number of plants which are grown with difficulty In gar dens down East have gone wild and strayed out Into the fields in the Wil lamette Valley, and become pests to the. farmers which it has been found very difficult to get rid of. The "bachelor but ton," or French pink, or corn flower, as the Germans call It, Is one of these, and there are several others. The fern In question can only be eradi cated by patient endeavor and careful cultivation for several years. Its root3 extend far and wide, but they lie so deep In tho soil that they really do little if any harm to field or garden crop3, ex cept such as can be Injured by being overshadowed by the broad spreading fronds. Fine crops of wheat and other grains, potatoes, etc., are raised where the fern grows rank among them. Some farmers go over their fields In the early Summer and cut down the ferns which Is outtopplng their wheat, as is done with the thistles down East. This prevents the fern from doing any Injury to their crop. There is one way of killing out fern which, sometimes proves quite successful, which 13 to inclose a patch and put a lot of pigs In the lnclosure, and leave them to grub fern roots for a living. The tender shoots of the fern root3 are quite nutrltloue, being mucilaginous and pleas ant to the taste, and the pigs under the stimulus of hunger will burrow tunnel3 and follow the roots as far as they can, but they do not got fat on them, as there Is too much work in proportion to the amount of food secured. Careful cultiva tion and persistently destroying every fern that appears above the ground will exterminate them In a few years. Up Goes Meat. Baltimore American.

Athletic Relatione Will BeJ Resumed Between Pallmnn and Idaho Mult nomah Men at Work. The track athletic season will be form ally opened In Oregon next Saturday, when the teams of the State University and Pacific University will engage In a dual meet at Eugene. Both teams have held their try-outs. Ssut owing to the rainy weather and other handicaps, no startling records were made. Grldcr, of Oregon, threw the discus 100 feet, which Is close to the state record, and Captain Clyde Payne managed to win the three short dashes from a number of swift competitors. Otherwise the Eugene try out presented no striking features, nor was the Forest Grove exhibition above mediocrity. F. H. Heywood, assistant trainer at the University of California, has taken charge of tho Pacific men. and promises to have them in good shape for the meet with Oregon. The latter Insti tution has lost a number of lis old-time stars, and Pacific Is likely to make a good showing, although the chances ot winning appear to lie with Oregon, If the try-out records represent the compara tive strength of the two teams. The white-winged dove of peace Is now hovering about Pullman and Moscow, and It Is probable that the Washington Agri cultural College and the University of Idaho will settle their difficulties that have been hanging fire for some weeks and agree to re-establish athletic rela tions. The whole trouble arose over Pull man's charge of professionalism against H. C. Tilley, tho speedy Idaho sprinter. Tilly lives In the Coeur d'Alene mining district, and the "Agrics" say that ho has run for money on several occasions. A protest was filed with the Idaho fac ulty, whose verdict was that Tilly was an amateur, free from taint or suspicion. This aroused the ire of the Pullman stu dents, and athletic relations with Idaho were immediately dissolved. This oc curred some weeks ago. However, the missionaries of peace have been at work, and ItTs quite likely that the two col leges will hold a dual field meet at Pull man May 21. It is tho general opinion among athletic cranks that football and other contests will be resumed, and that In future the feeling between the people of Pullman and Moscow will be of a friendly nature. Whitman and tho Washington Agricul tural College will hold a dual field meet In Walla Walla next Saturday. The M. A. A. C. track athletes have commenced active training for their meet with the University of Oregon, which oc curs May 23. Captain Gammle and his men are rounding Into good trim, and will be prepared to put up a battle royal against the Eugene men. The Kerrigan brothers and a number of other sure-point winners are hard at work, and they hope to take revenge on Oregon for the drub bing they received last Spring. Harvey TT.iotnn )hi TOYtr nnfhall Tilaver of the Hill Military Academy, will appear In the sprints, and will no doubt prove a swift running mate for Captain Gammie. The Portland High" School team will meet Pacific Collego at Newberg next Saturday, and a week later will go to Eu gene for a dual contest with the Eugene High School. The second annual field meet of the Collegiate Athletic League of Oregon will occur at McMInnvIlle June 6. The league consists of Albany, Dallas, Pacific and McMInnvIlle College, and the Monmouth Normal School. J In the recent field day at Columbia Uni versity, N.
