COLUMBIA IS DARK HORSE
Washington High Looks Strongest,
tout Columbia iras Skillful Train
ing of 'Iolly" firay Jcrferson
Jf igb-. Decidedly In Race.
BY CHARLKS C. ALBRIGHT.
After weeks of weary waiting, patient
practice, and tedious training:, the 11)10
jnterscholaPtiu baseball season was
linally opened on Multnomah Field last
Wednesday. The frame played on that
day between Lincoln and Wnshinrton
High School tcauis marked the beginning
f a baseball war that will not lessen in
Jlerceness until the umpire has called the
last man In the lat inning oX the lait
Knie, "out." Then and then only will
enthusiasm subside and competition die.
Kor the last eight years the interschol
astic baseball season has lteen one of the
features of the Summer's sports in Port
land. Professional teams may come and
;o. attracting- dyed-in-the-wool fans six
clays out ofc the week, but in no case,
will the pitch of enthusiasm be higher
than it Is at the inter-S',hool games. .Nor
era the amateur games lacking- In the
itinish that usually goea with a profes
sional aggregation, for not a few players
in the school league have graduated Into
the fastest of company.
Columbia Is' Dark IIor.se.
It is hard to say just what the pros
pect are for the coming season, when
'but two games have as yet been played.
Columbia University is at present the
"dark horse." being the only team which
Jias yet to play its- tirst scheduled game,
lut it is always safe to say that the wear
ers of the purple and gold will put forth
n bunch of top-notchers. In former years
the tight for the championship pennant
was almost always between the lads from
down the river and Portland Academy.
This year Washington High School looks
the strongest from almost every stand
point. Winning from Lincoln by a well-fined
margin, the Washington players are al
ready beginning to assume the formidable
proportions which they atttained in the
local lnterscholastic world last year, when
they captured the pennant. "Colly" Dru.
liot's youngsters were handicapped by
lack of experience last Wednesday, how
ever, and under his able tutelage will
undoubtedly spring a few new ones be
fore the season is far advanced. "Colly"
Js working hard with the bunch, and the
Ibenefit of his experience will be invaluable
to the West Siders.
Columbia University is lucky this year
in securing the services of "Dolly" Gray
to coach the team, for this gingery player
is as keen as they make 'em with regard
to the fine points of the game. "Dolly"
lias put a whole lot of life in the 'varsity
bunch, and, from the additional fact that
(there is a. goodly number of old men on
he team, Columbia must be reckoned
with in the "champ." contest.
Portland Academy has, apparently, the
weakest team in the league this year.
Jjjck of experience may again be put
down as the cause, and so there Is plenty
of hope that P. A. will pull together and
do credit to her colors before the season
is far advanced. Hard work is the
watchword around the school since Fri
day's game, with the result that a hard
fought game may be expected by Colum
bia today.
Jefferson iltgli in Running.
Jefferson ' High School will be in the
running all the time, if the score in the
P. A. game last week may be accepted
us a criterion. Jefferson is out for the
trailing rag which will proclaim the
championship aggregation, and is losing
no opportunity to further itself in the
race. Jefferson has a nice battery In
Arthur and McAllen, both working to
Kather like a well-oiled machine. Arthur
is a heady little twirler, in the game all
the time. He knows how to handle him
self in a pinch, and has the steady back
ing of McAllen. . i
Second Baseman Cornell of Washington
4s, perhaps, the bright particular star of
Hie entire league. His work is abso
lutely clean, and he is a whirlwind in
Retting the near-hits and pegging the
runner out at first. He is a hard slugger,
despite ltis' small stature, and lias the
3iappy faculty of placing his Dingles just
out of reach of the nearest fielder. In
addition to these qualitications, Cornell is
probably the faste.st man ou his feet in
the league. He fairly twinkles . between
it he stations if there is half a chance to
rob a base on a slow catcher.
Especially strong in the pitching de
partment is Columbia University. With
ilvirk. Fitzgerald and Finncgan to draw
on. the sla.bster'8 department will bp well
taken care of . "Doily" Gray is a wonder
at putting life into a bunch that might
otherwise be disposed to suffer from
Spring fever, and he haa demonstrated
his capabilities already. Whether or not
lie .has developed a team that can carry
away the flag remains to be seen.
This afternoon the Columbia team
meta Portland Academy on Multnomah
lield, and, until this game Is played, it
will be hard to pick a season's winner. At
present, Washington High and Columbia
appear to. be in line for a dual battle,
with Lincoln and Jefferson rubbing them
close.

STORY.
Jeffries made up for hlg vacation of yes
terday by training with, double energy
this morning.
He declared that he felt in a working
mood and allowed himself little letup
all day. He worked on all the indoor
strength building devices with the excep
tion of boxing, and it was noticed that
he put a good deal of ginger and life
into his task.
A six-round boxing bout with Sam
Berger was planned for the afternoon,
but Jeffries' work of the morning was
so warming that his trainers did not
want tc heat his blood any more and
the bou was postponed. The ekin trouble
on Jeffries' back rapidly is disappearing
and his trainers expect to eradicate it
within two days.
Jeffries spent the afternoon hours
working with the laborers on the river
dam, which sprung a leak last Saturday.
Until the leak is stopped boating and
swimming are next to impossible, . and
as these are among the ex-champion's
favorite pastimes, he will put in much of
his time helping repair the dam.

The Addition with Character
When all of the proposed improvements have been completed in Ladd Park,
Portland will have no more beautiful spot within its limits. Ladd Park
exceeds any of the city's parks in natural grandeur and now it is proposed
to improve it with scenic driveways and walks, to enlarge the present nat
ural lake and to create botanical gardens there.
Do you realize that property fronting on or adjacent to any high-grade,
public park is always considered the most desirable for residence purposes?
Dp you realize that it is an ideal investment for the simple reason that it is
desirable and that property of this sort is very limited in area and because
there are only a few public parks located in the residence districts of Port
land? Do you realize that Ladd Park lies in the heart of Laurelhurst and that
values of Laurelhurst lots in the neighborhood of this park will advance very
high just as soon as the proposed improvements for the park have been com
pleted? And do you realize that the prices of lots in Laurelhurst, close to
this park are at present as low as lots in some of the less improved sections
of Portland, which are much further out from town and on only one carline?
Do you realize that, under the building, restriction, houses fronting on this
public park must cost at least from $4000 to $7500? Others, not fronting
on the park, but in this section, must cost from $3500 up.
Realize this if you can and you will then realize the exceptional opportun
ity which is offered you for investment or home purposes in Laurelhurst.
Laurelhurst,' being improved with asphalt streets from 28 to 48 feet wide,
cement walks, 9-foot parking strips, shade trees, handsome cluster lights and
large water, sewer and gas mains and with this beautiful natural park in its
center is today the most desirable residence property in Portland.
See Laurelhurst for yourself. See Ladd Park for yourself and you will
realize all that we have told you in this ad There are many beautiful
spots in Portland, but there are none more beautiful than can be found in
Ladd Park with its fine trees, ravines, Jake, etc. There are many very
pretty residence streets and districts in Portland-but there are none that will
compare with Laurelhurst in class of improvements and environments.
These improvements are being put in NOW.
Go and see Laurelhurst. Take Montavilla or Rose City Park cars. Both
lines run to and through the property. Or take Sunnyside or Mount Tabor
cars to East 39th street and walk three blocks north to Laurelhurst and
Ladd Park.
Bear in mind that all of Laurelhurst south of "East Glisan street is still selling
at original prices. The prices on this section have not been raised. They are
at present lower than what is being asked for lots in other residence sections
of the city, not nearly so well located or improved and with poorer car service.
