broad Jump record of 2 feet 7 Inches.
Th losing of this star, together with
the fact that th track team men are
without a coach, has caat a ehadow over
that branch of athletic activity. The
men are out doing the beat they are able
under the heavy handicap but feel verv
much discouraged over the prospect f
th coming Sprjng. There aeem to b

will have little chance In competition

near Los Angelea and says that he doe
not expect to return to Vancouver until
about March 15. In the meantime. James
Brown, his brother, la looking after his
Interests in the north. ,

Danny Shea evidently thinks Seattle
has no chance to win the pennant In the
Northwestern League, for Shea is balky
at returning to Dugdale. Danny has
hcen a champion player with Tacoma In
1177-8. Seattle In 19 and Spokane In 1910.
and he wants to keep. up the record. At
any rate, he refuses to report to Dug
dale. Shea reverts to Seattle through
the failure of Klppert to report to Dug. !

San Francisco seems very much Inter- !
ested In the efforts Bob Brown 1 making
to have Oscar Jones, the ex-Seal pitcher,
reinstated. Jones Is Jn bad with the

hardly likely that he will be shown any
consideration by Long, Ewlng, Ish and j
other. j

Eddie Smith, referee and sport critic 1
of Oakland, recently appeared before the

plained by Smith was that the anti-box-Ing

fore gloves of any kind wore worn, and
his speech is said to have created favor
able comment even among the clergy
men. A Smith or two might help In

Peter Buzukos, the Greek wrestler, will
try to prevent Jimmy Richards, a New
Orleans middleweight, from throwing
him twice in one hour. Richards is said
to be a husky grappler, and the bout is
to be staged at Arlon Hall tomorrow
night. Buzukos recently returned from
a successful campaign in the north.

It seems that Harry McArdle is about
to be "panned" out of his Job with the
Seals. Most of the San Francisco sport
writers have commenced boosting Mo
Cauley and Weaver, the two new In
fielders acquired by D. Long and others.
Long says they are speed marvels. Mc
Ardle must be holding out for more
coin.

The Bay City dopesters also have it
that Oakland atands a splendid chance
of tcettlng Walter Moser back this sea
son. Walter Is hardly ripe enough for
the Boston Americans, and lfathe Red
Sox have a surplus, of twirling talent

to deliver the goods, nevertheless. Th
visitors seemed to take kindly to th
cage In which Whitman play and had
the ball In their possession most of th

Whitman wa weak on basket, both
from field and foul line, and while Ore

He never failed to score In attempting

An abundant crop of candidates for
city offices Is already showing above

that the Legislature Is nearlng an end
interest is commencing to awaken in
the impending city campaigns.
One thing is already assured: there
to be a lively scramble for the Re
publican nominations for Mayor and
Municipal Judge. For the position last
named there are no fewer than five
aspirants now in the field. But one
man, A G. Rushlight, openly aspires to
be Mayor, but a number of other's are
said to entertain secret aspirations and
are being; urged by friends and politi
cal henchmen to get into the nomi

Simon's Stand Dubious.
The question of whether Mayor Simon

without definite answer. The Mayor is
not inclined to give his final answer
yet. He says he Is too busy with other
things to be figuring; out what course
he will take in a nominating compalgn
that Is yet a considerable period dis
tant.
County Commissioner Llghtner and
Councilman Henry Beldlng are men
tloned In connection with the Mayor
lty. Mr. Llghtner is urged by man
friends to get into the raro. He is
Inclined to laugh at the idea but hi
friends say he Is seriously considering
the subject, notwithstanding. The same
facts apply to Mr. Beldlng. Dr. Ben
L. Norden and Sis Slchel are others
heard of in connection with the Mayor
olty from time to time. Mr. Slchel
hasn't given the subject any consider
atlon, he says, while Ir. Norden hosn
made up his mind to run by any means.
Hard Campaign Ahead.
Ona thing Is certain. That is the
man who aspires to be Mayor of Port

CLASS REDUCTION DENIED
Whitman Commissioners Won't Re
duce County's Rating.
COLFAX, Wash., Feb. 7. (Special.)
Whitman County Commissioners Ellis,
Whltelaw and Miller find themselves up
against many legal hindrances In lower
ing the claps df Whitman County. The
Farmers' Union and Grange have sought
for six months to secure the reduction
of the county. The old board stood pat
on their decision, refusing to grant the
request of the union and grange, who
want the class of the county reduced,
as they believe they will save taxes as
11 the county officers would receive
lower salaries under the new class.
Whitman County Is now in the sev
enth class and should have a population
of 35,000 for this class. The late Govern
ment census gave the county 33,600, but
the old board refused to lower tho class,
having based the population on the
school census of tho county. The new
board has offered the union and grange
a compromise, offering to pay eighth
class salaries until the Assessor could
take the census next Spring at the time
assessment was made. This did not meet
with approval with the union and grange
committee and the commissioners stated
action of some kind would be given
Tuesday. The salaries of all officers
and their deputies have been held up
for January awaiting this decision.
