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

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

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

Errorless Game.
OREGON CITY, May 4. The first game
of the Oregon State Amateur League was
played at the Willamette Park grounds
this afternoon, between the Monograms,
of Portland, and the Oregon City team.
The game was even throughout. Oregon
City having a shade the best of It. Dur
ing the game Umpire Hedges was substi
tuted for Conway, who did not give any
more satisfaction to the home team, than
did Hodges to the visitors.
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. The man
agers of the two teams agreed to call the
game a draw, with a score of 2 to 1
The feature of the game was the pitch

TRACK TRIALS DELAYED
TRAILERS HOLD THEIR FAST
HORSES FOR WARM DAY'S.
Good Time la Made by Eastern Ore
gon Anixsals to Be Entered in
Portland Races.
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.

September 1, purse $3000; Enterprise City,
N. Y., September 10, purse $5000; Balti

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.

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

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.

The uniforms for the Honeyman Hard
ware Co.'s baseball team have been re
ceived by the boya, and they will now
probably rapidly recover from the Illness
which has prevented them from practicing
for saveral weeks. 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.

TROUT FOR OREGOTf STREAMS.
Tkonsands Planted by Fisn mad
Game Association.
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.

HOW TO ROOT OUT FERNS
One Good Way Is to Turn the Pigs
Into Pasture on Them.
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.
"How's this?" asked the customer In
the bookstore. "Last week the 'prices on
Bacon and Lamb were only "135, and
now you have marked them up to $3."
"Well, you see," explained the book
seller, "since the meat trust began corner

But the customer hurried away to se

TO. OPEN TRACK SEASON
OREGOJT WILL MEET PACIFIC " AT
. EUGENE SATURDAY?
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. Y., Dick Smith, the cowboy
athlete from Klamath County, won the
16-pound hammer throw. He will repre
sent Columbia in this event In the com
ing field meets. Smith, when a student
at the State University, established a Pa
cific Northwest collegiate record of 127
feet 9 Inches, which Is likely to stand for
Bomo time to come. He Is also a candi
date for the rowing crew at Columbia,
