Although Henry Berry, of the Los Ange les team, has preferred charges of row( dylsm against Shortstop Olson, of the Portland Beavers, and has asked that he be fined and suspended, President Cal Kwlng will take no action until he has heard both sides of the case. No report has been received from Umpire Jimmy Toman, and although the Beavers ar rived this afternoon from Los Angeles, McCredie made no official statement. He has a different story to tell from that ronveved by the Ib Angeles newspaper dispatches. He admits that Dillon was spiked, but denies that it was inten tional.

The Influence of Johnson's presence on the negro population of New York Is very evident. The negro or New York Is almost as "cocky" this week as the negro of Washing-ton on Emanci pation Day. It Is not at all unlikely that the race rioting which has kept the police busy once or twice in recent years will be renewed as a result of this feeling;. Pop Van Haltren Has Strong Aggre gation and Home Fans Will Be Satisfied if McCredie Lands Three Wins to Credit. BT W. J. PETRAIX.

In fact, the winning of three out of seven games on the road Is a fine percentage of the games; In fact, it is much better than the average. Last- season Portland's first chasse against, tne Oakland tribe resulted in three victories out of seven trys, and the fans are hoping for at least a sim ilar DreaK this year.

NEW RECORD IS HUNG UP opening game. Columbia is making great preparations for this contest and confi dently expects to win. The High School players and their cohorts also are not dismayed at the prospect and hope to defeat the champions of last season handily. The Interscholastlc League has always furnished a fine article of baseball, for the contending teams are evenly matched and the boys know the game. The Co lumbia lads are boasting of haying beaten the Multnomah Club nine last Saturday, and on this account they are inclined to believe they have an excellent chance to win tomorrow. . The followers of both teams will be out in force, and the lads and lassies of the High School and the rooters from Co lumbia will make enough noise to stir up the most sluggish person in the vicinity. The game is scheduled for 3 o'clock. The game Toor old llappi.-us Hogan. After hold ing Ins own with the other clubs for several days, he has finally wandered into the cellar by his lonesome. Happy eems to have only one pitcher who pos beM.s the faculty of winning. Why did Cal Ewing pass tip Jimmy Hynn and sign Toman and McCarthy as umpires?

Losing a game in which lie allowed but two hits is no disgrace, and -Speck" will be there at the llnisli. Roily Zeider Is reported as having been turned baok to the San Francisco club, and he is expected to report to Dannv I-onK this week. This means to the woods for McArdle or Mundorff, most likely the latter, but neither will be out of a job long if ho gets the ax. There are better clubs to play for than 'Frisco, anyhow. Charley Graham's Sacramento team lias been playing consistent ball all week, and really seems to possess some class. Still it is too early to Judge any of the teams, for only one week of the reason is over. For instance, last year Portland dropped seven straight, and yet climbed to the top later on. Siberian Team Makes Remarkable Run, Nome to Candle Creek and Return, In 82 Hours- Dis tance Is 412 Miles. NOME. April 6. (Special.) Nome.s classic dog race, the Derby of the North, in which J10O.O0O changed hands on the result, is over. Berger's teams No. 1 and No. 2. driven by Scotty Allen and Percy Blatschford. respectively, have pulled down the tll.OOO in gold and will hold for a year the Suter trophy, hung up for the All-Alaska Sweepstakes, the winner's time being 82 hours 2 minutes: distance. 412 miles, Nome to Candle Creek and return. Although there was some hope that Fink's team would pull into second place, the final course became a gruel ling contest and ended in the order given. With Blatschford 17 minutes be hind Allen, hopes that had been pinned to the strength and fleetness of the Si berian team, upon which $100,000 was posted to win last Saturday, were dashed when the team became snowblind. No spouting e- -nt in the history of the North or South held so much inter est as that of the Nome-Candle Creek dog race, promoted by the Nome Kennel Club, and few events in any sporting line have seen the changing of as much money on a single event as the All Alaska Sweepstakes. When Candle was reached, the first lap in the big event which brought together the best flesh and bone of the hardy Northern dogs, the Siberian team was ahead and the long dash home on the return leg was commenced. It was then that the Siberian backers gathered to gether their friends, and collecting $100. 000 in bright, shining gold, posted this fortune against the field. The takers were there. Fink and Berger men, feel ing sure that the Siberian team would fall by the wayside. The finish showed the Fink backers failing in Judgment, for Fink's team was far behind at the end of the course, his ciassy Malamutes, for which he scoured the length and breath of Alaska. failing to defeat either of what was regarded as the second-class teams owned by Berger. ' In finishing the course in 82 hours, one bet of $10,000 was made and lost, it being wagered that the course would not be traversed in less than 96 hours, and in finishing the race in S2 hours last year's time is broken by better than a day's unie. tne otticiai time or last years race being four days 23 hours 15 minutes one-half second.

FIRST IXTERSCHOLASTIC GAME Columbia Meets Lincoln High on Multnomah Field Tomorrow. The first game of the Interscholastlc League baseball season of 1909 will be played at Multnomah Field tomorrow aft ernoon, when Columbia University and Lincoln High School cross bats in the Annual Tourney at Oregon Agricul tural College Expected to Bring Out 250 Boys. OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL LEGE, Corvallis. Or.. April 6. (Spe cial.) Director Angell announces to day that the High School interscholas tlc meet would take place on April 21 and 22. This is the third' meet of its kind held here, and It is expected that it will be even larger and better at tended than any previous meet. The two preceding contests have been held here the first of June, but. owing to the fact that the cadets leave here for Se attle on June 4. it was impossible to hold it at the regular time. Invitations are to be. sent out to every High School in the state', and it is expected that a majority of them will be represented. It is estimated that there will be 250 athletes in the con test. Plans are now being considered to give the visitors a royal reception, and it is being looked forward to as one of the big events of the year. PROTEST IS TO BE DROPPED Gnrband Finds Lack ot Evidence Against Jackson. The victory of Jackson, of Seattle, and Dorris, of Multnomah, the two Marathon runners who finished first and second in the ten-mile Marathon race in the indoor meet at the Armory Saturday night, will probably not be contested further. F. Gurband, the Y. M. C. A. runner who filed charges that both Jackson and Dorris had been assisted on their long hike, after a conference with Bud James, of the athletic committee in charge of the race, seemed satisfied his protest was not backed up with evi dence. "If Gurband can show there was any thing suspicious in that race' said James last night, "I shall see to it an investigation is held. Personally. I do not believe either of the runners at tempted any advantage, for a member of the Multnomah Club rode with the leaders on a motor cycle and he would have no object in favoring the Seattle man against Dorris. our entry." Jimmy Wiggs Some Pitcher. However. Oakland really possesses agood team. Van Haltren has forti fied his pitching- corps, and while he has lost "Deacon" Wright. Portland's hoodoo last season, he has replaced that warrior with elongated Jimmy . Wiggs, . formerly of Helena in the Northwestern League in 1902. Some fans remember him. for once seen, a recollection of this atenuated person age will linger as long as the life -of the average fan. Wiggs is a fairish pitcher; in fact, at times he is a whirlwind, but his leapfrog tactics together with a dispo sition to be an in and outer, has kept him from maintaining a ' position in the major leagues. Wiggs acquired considerable notoriety by Jumping the Cincinnati National League team to the Trl-State (outlaw) League several seasons ago. and after his reinstate ment he continued to Jump here and there until a permanent blacklist was placed against him. This also proved as farcial as most of the blacklists of the baseball association, and this Winter Jimmy Jumped an organized club to Join the Fresno team of the California State League, and returned to the fold when Oakland got permis sion rrom the "baseball chiefs" to play him if he could be induced to desert the outlaws.. Just how long Jimmy win piay wun uaKiana is problemat ical, for it is a guess whether he has played a whole season with any one club since he left Helena seven years ago. Wiggs Is not the only good pitcher on the Oak's payroll. "Slim" Nelson, the former Northwestern phenom, is there, and Boice and Maire are also good slab artists when one Judges by their opening performances. chris tian seems to have something on the ball this year, for he scored a shutout on his Initial appearance against San Francisco. i Team Sizes Up Well. At first base Oakland has a big fel low named Cameron, but he was in jured in a game against the White Sox and has not yet played in the league games. Happy Bill Hogan is holding down the Job temporarily, and when Cameron gets in the game Bill will be used as a slab artist. Truesdale. at second, was seen here last , Fall, while Mike Bruyette. the new shortstop, is rated as a first-class player. Bernie McCay, who was a pitcher with Oak land and Seattle In the early days of the Coasters, Is playing the third sack for the Athenians, and Bernie is said to be a much better third sacker than he ever was a pitcher. Oakland has a trio of new men in the gardens. Murphy, Duffy Lewis and Carroll form a company of "Tads" who ought to know how to play ball, if names signify anything. Back of the bat Van Haltren has Mickey La Longe, the clever but close fisted backstop who was with San Francisco part of last season, before being turned over to the Oakland team. Mickey does most of the receiving, while he has a helper who works oc casionally in Carl Lewis, who was also a Commuter last season. Yes. Oak land looks to have a fairish team. GOTCH GETS WEIGHT DOWN Trains to Offset Bare Toe Hold of Mahmout the Turk. CHICAGO. April 5. (Special.) frank uoten will not weigh much more than Mahmout, the Turk, when the heavyweights get together at Dex ter Park Pavilion. Gotch estimates he will be well down to the 200-pound mark, while Mahmout will not differ in weight more than a few pounds.

Ji CASEY. LETS OUT SIX MANAGER BEGINS WEED1XG OCT PROCESS. Seventeen Men Are In Uniform and One More to Report Likely Pitching Staff. BT WILL, i. MAC RAG. MEDFORD, Or., April 5. (Special.) Ti.ere was a noisy rattling of cans here tonight, and no less than six of Man ager Casey's hopefuls were released. The unfortunate members of the train ing squad who are on their way are: Pitchers R. iilcFarland. T. Osburne, H. ti. Gardner and B. F. Coleman, and t-atcners Beaumont and St. John. Manager Casey is slougmng oft some mighty good baseball material, and his task of selecting his pitching and catch ing staff has not been an easy one by any means. Any one of the pitchers and catchers released would make Kood on most any ball team in minor league oaseDaii. Even with these released. Manager Casey has 17 men In uniform, and one more. Pitcher Guyn. on his way. At the present time it looks as if his pitch ing stan: would be composed of Kin sella. Finance, Carnes, Chinault. Pen der, Ames and Guyn, and uis catchers most likely will be Fournier and Troeh. The batt'e for utility is still on between fllsley and Harrigan. There was another change In the weather and this afternoon the play era put in several hours in signal prac tice and working out plays that call for inside baseball. Kinsella, Finance, Carnes and Chinault cut loose this af tenoon; they bombarded the catchers until they called for quarter. FRAUD SUSPECT IS CAUGHT tenary M. E. Church.

PITOHER GTJYN IX PORTLAND Twlrler Stops Off Here on Way to Join Casey at Medford. j Pitcher Howard Guyn '(pronounced Gwynne) arrti-ed In Portland last night on his way to Join Pearl Casey's squad at Medford. Guyn expected to stay over one day here and have a conference with Judge W. W. McCredie before Joining Casey's hopefuls, but on learning that both Portland teams would be here next week, he decided to Join the squad and get Into condition as rapidly as possible. Guyn is a medium-sized. fine-looking young fellow who possesses a great deal of confidence, which is a needed asset in a pitcher. He would like to get on the Pacific Coast League team, and may do so yet. Guyn participated In 28 games, all told, for Zanesville. Ohio, in the Central League last year, and Is credited with 11 victories and 12 defeats. He was in two tie games and went to the rescue of other twiners after games were decided, three times. He led all of the pitchers in the league in fielding, having the distinction of going through all those games with but one error charged to him, and accept ing 68 chances. Now that Casey has turned loose a hunch of talent, Guyn may oe retained, or exchanged to Walter Mc Credie for another man. Some surprise Is entertained here at the releasing of Catcher Beaumont, who was expected to he Casey's regular backston this Summer. This meahs that the young manager tiunks more of Harrigan Troeh and Fournier. The release of Harry Gard ner is also a surprise, for he was be lieved to be among the best of the youngsters. keley, April 5. In the first dual meet of the season on the local oval the Univer sity of Southern California met defeat at the hands of the blue and gold track team by a score of 92 to 30.
