McLaughlin Laud Irnftl.
When MrLoughlln returned from
Australia, now over a year ago, aa on
member of the t-am which tried to
wreat the Pavia cup from Wilding and
Brooke, ha aald that It would be next
to the impossible for America to wrest
lha trophy without the aid of Lamed,
whom be declared to be the greatest
tennis played In the worll.
From the game that the National
champion baa been playing during the
Winter and la still putting upon tha
Calflronla courts, there Is , no question
about hla condition, and there ta no
evidence that be has "gone back" at
any stage of his wonderful game.
Mclaughlin Is aald to be playing a
ateadler and headier game this Winter
than he ha put up for years and no
doubt will be In great condition r the
tim the team sets sail for the "other
shore. now plannej In June.
Wright OUWt of Trio.
With Wright. It is different, lie has
not been playing the outdoor game at
ill this Winter, confining his work to
Indoors, but It Is aald he Is keeping him
self in trim, preparatory to an active
outdoor season as soon as the weather
permits. Wright Is the oldest of the
trio and naturally might be considered
to have lost some of his old-Uma form,
but his work last year In various East
ern tourneys gave evidence of consid
erable speed and staying powers, which
have been bis forte for years on the
tennis courts.
Should the American team this year
be able to land the international trophy.
It probably vou.il be retained in thla
country for aeveral years. Fortunately
for America, the tennis players of
championship form are developing
faster now than In previous years and
if thep all slay by the game, the pros
pect of the world's greatest tennis play
than at any time In the history of the !

Ferdinand Henkle, the Vnlverslty of

"I am willing to don a Seattle uni

Dugdale wants me then I will report
I gladly, bnt I cannot see my way clear
to report to the team at present. I do
not need to play professional baaeball
and am going to complete my college

Henkle was the Vnlverslty of Oregon
mainstay In the box two years sgo
and was signed by Dugdale last year,
finishing the Northwestern League sea
son with the Seattle club. He made a
remarkable record at the University
winning most of his games. One of his
feats was to win two Intercollegiate
games In one day.
He did not report to Seattle until
late In the season, consequently he
pitched only 22 games. Of these Seattle
won only . while 11 of them were lost.
But when It is considered that be
Jumped Into the firing line agatnat sea
soned league veterans without any pro

Manager Dugdale Is Impressed with
Henkle s style of delivery and believes
the lad baa a good future, especially
since he Is a big. strong boy and willing
to learn. With a strong club to sup
port him. Dugdale Milnks the Tortland
twirler will have a splendid year this

There was a report clreulstwd that
Henkle had signed for Nick WMIllama

was slightly perturbed over the report
and denies that his promising left

MERCHANTS FIGHT WATER
Streets Are Flooded and Practice Is
Oat of the Question Slieehan and
Steen Are Marooned In Their
Lodgings by the Flood.
SANTA MARIA, CaL. March' 7. (Spe
cial.) Another deluge of rain Inter
fered with the practice of the cham
pion Portland baseball' tossers today
and this lHUe city Is experiencing what
promises to be tho most disastrous
flood. The streets of the city are filled
with water from curb to curb and the
merchants are piling goods In front of
their doorways, - while the sidewalks
, along the principal streets are lined
with sacks or sand to prevent tne water
from encroaching further.
During the past 24 hours seven Inches
of rain has fallen In this valley and
the Santa Maria River Is over its banks.
A torrent of water Is rushing through
the city streets from Bradley Canyon
four miles southeast of this place.
Strenuous efforts are being made to
prevent the washing away of filled-ln
earth at the baseball grounds, for If
the flood gains entrance to the park
the grounds are likely to be cut up Ir
reparably. Some doubts ' are now ex
pressed as to the possibility of saving
the park. If It Is spoiled the Red Sox
game will likely be cancelled.
No mall has been received here for
two days and the washouts along the
railway near here are occurring so fre
quently that It is likely to be several
days yet before communication by rail
will be restored.
McCredle believes that Koestner and
Braden. two of his absentees, are at
Los Angeles, unable to reach here at
present. Telegraphic communication Is
also uncertain, and telephone wires are
down In every direction.
Tommy Bheehan and BUI Steen, who
are rooming four blocks from the cen
ter. of town, have been marooned In
their rooms all day, as the flood Is
so deep around' their domicile that they
bave been unable to venture forth.
PAPE HERE SEEKING MATCH
Oarsman Will Bring Athletes to As
toria In AngTist.
Al W. Pape, of San Francisco, who
claims the title of amateur champion
oarsman of the Pacific Coast, arrived
in Portland last night by way of As
toria. Pape made arrangements to row
and swim at the Astoria Centennial, to
be held during August. He says he
will bring about SO swimmers and ath
letes from San Francisco to the Cen
tennial celebration.
Pape rowed In Portland during the
Lewis and Clark Fair, winning the sin
gle scull championship at that time.
Since then he has taken active part
in rowing contests" and says he Is In
fine fettle for a race. He is particu
larly eager to meet Ed Oloss, the Port
land oarsman. In a match contest at
Astoria.
Gloss defeated Pape several years
ago at the Astoria regatta and another
time was leading by a good margin
near the finish when his shell was run
down by a launch and Pape won the
race. It Is probable that a. match be
tween Pape and Gloss and possibly
Arthur A. Allen, captain of the Port
land Rowing Club, can be arranged for
the coming Summer. This Is Pape's
first visit to Portland since 1905.
WEST-EVA X S MATCH IS FAST
Undue Amount of Clinching; Only
Mar to Bout at Rofeeburr.
ROSEBURO. Or., MarchS7. (Special.)
Jean West, of the Oregon Athletic
Club, and Bobby Evans, also of Port
land, fought ten fast rounds to a draw
tonight before an enthusiastic crowd of
Roseburg boxing devotees. The bout
was somewhat marred by an undue
amount of clinching, but was very In
teresting throughout.
The men fought at catch weights
and West entered the ring a few pounds
heavier than his clever opponent not
withstanding which Evans fully held
his own. They started after each other
from the tap of the gong and both
men were trying all the time.
West used a most effective uppercut
and a right to the- Jaw which was
dangerous, and Evans scored repeatedly
with a straight left which barked
West's nose and had it bleeding freely.
The last two rounds West's punch told
and Evans was forced to do consid
erable "stalling.''

NEW YORK, March 7. The warm

Lincoln High School broke Into the
winning column at basketball yesterday
when Allen Preparatory School was
beaten by the score of 28 to 11 on the
Young Men's Christian Association gym
nasium floor. It was Lincoln's first
victory In the Interscholastlo League
this season and now Allen Preparatory
and Llnioln are both tied for the cellar
position, each having won one game.
Lincoln's team work was better yes
terday than at any previous time this
season and basket-shooting was more
accurate. In the second half two bas
kets "were secured within a few minutes
after the ball had rolled around the
rim and balanced there and then dropped
through for points. One was scored by
Elvers and the other by Spamer.
Allen was' somewhat weakened by the
absence of Harr. who left the floor after
playing but a few minutes. Elvers, of
Lincoln, at center, was the best basket
getter of the game, scoring six baskets,
three In each half. Spamer scored four
baskets in the second half, two of them
being from long shots. Allen only got
four baskets off the Lincoln guards. The

Grand Ronde Acres to Be Sold for
$50,000 After Being Bought for
$8100 Trees Planted.
LA GRANDE Or., March 7. (SpeciaL)
Setting a mark for rapid rise in value
of Grande Ronde land, two Dayton,
Wash., men tonight "cinched" a deal that
will be closed tomorrow whereby 90 acres
of land owned by W. A. Laldlaw, of Port
land, and lying near Imbler, will be
sold for $50,000.
Six years ago the same tract of 90
acres sold for J67 an acre and when,
planted to trees the same year sold for
J90 an acre. With the six-year-old or
chard standing on the entire tract, Mr.
Laidlaw made preparations today to turn
the property over to the two Dayton men
who purchased the tract on recommen
dation of J. I. Dodenberger, an expert,
who manages the famous Dumas orchard
at Dayton.
The land was seeded to wheat seven
years ago, yielding less than 60 bushels
to the acre. It Is but a small fraction
of similar land adjacent to Imbler, where
1700 acres are now planted to orchards
where five and seven years ago wheat
was raised.
Oregon City Bridge Safe.
OREGON CITY, Or., March 7. (Spe
cial.) Several weeks ago the County
Court hired a bridge expert to ex
amine and report on the condition of

lamette River here. There had been
rumors that tha structure was unsafe.
The expert reported It safe, but sug
gested certain repairs to make It more
secure. ' The court has let the con
tract for these repairs, costing about
3000, to Clare-ce Simmons, a local
builder.
