Ku irene. .March S. (Special. ) By practically agreeing on dates for four baseball games to be played between the L'ni-. versltlea of Oregon and Washington this Spring, the athletic managements of the Iwo Institutions have terminated a dispute of several months' standing. The dates set arc April 29 and 30 for the first two games, which will be played in Kugcne. and May If and 17 for the return engagements In Se attle. The 'contention arose from Oregon's handicap in aire ami resources as com pared with her northern rival. The student body here Is not large enough to furnish adequate material for each separate team, and consequently the best athletes are often called upon to take part . in sports which . conflict witS each ' other. Since the students at Washington outnumber those at Oregon almost four to one. the same difficulty is not met with at the former school. The Washington management wished to pluy two games with Oregon In this city April and 7. when the Kver green state aggregation would have been southward bound on its proposed California trip. However. Oregon main tained that these dates occur too early in the baseball season, which Is started lata here to avoid collision with the ba.krtball schedule. The men who would have been af fected are Jamison and Fenton among the best athletes In this school. In I addition to being the mainstays of the varsity basketball team, they are both callable baseball players. Jamison being relied on to occupy the pitcher's boa and Fenton to cover the keystone sack. With basketball holding out until the latter part of March, these two athletes would hardly have had time to strike their- baseball stride In time to meet Washington's strong team. However, by postponing the first two contests with Washington until April 29 and J. the local management will catch the visitors on their return from California, and the delay will give the Oregon coaches time in which to whip their nine. Into shape. Two other dates which are practlcal lv assured are May i nnd 9. when Washington State College of Pullmen will play Oregon In Kugene. In every case th-se dates have been approved by both managements concerned, al though contracta have not yet been signed.

Wattelet gave a brief fore cast of the Northwestern League afTalrs when res waa tn Portland for a few hours yesterday. Troubles of Spring training having " agrlved w ith a Bat Nelson rush, the usually beaming coun tenance of the Victoria mogul wore a look of worry and showed evident traces of weary verbal debates with youthful Ty Cobbs and Vean Greggs. "At this time it looks as if the season-end tussle will be between Van couver and Spokane." said the owner of the Bees. "I'm not claiming any championship team: I'll be plenty sat isfied If I rtnlsh third or fourth. Van couver's veterans practically remain In tact and that is an advantage that will be difficult to overcome. The light for third place will be between Portland and Victoria." The head of the Canadian club started for California yesterday. Hla men will be groomed at San Jose, starting their klnk-rellevlng stunts March 1. The Bees will play their first real game against theOaks in Oakland March 10. Thla will be followed by another game the next day with the same crowd. Teatattve l.laeap Sen. Present Indications point to the Bees' lining-up In the following order: Nurdyke. first base; Raymer. aecond base: Kawltngs. shortstop: Brennan. third base: Adams, left field: Clement son, center Held: Kennedy, right field: Keller, utility: Orlnnell and De Vog-t, catchers. Thirty men will form an attentive audience to listen to the sage advice of Lou Nordyke when the Washington apple-grower takea charge of the fes ttvltiea in the Santa Clara Comity me tropolis. In this bunch will be at least a doxen twlrlers of more or leas use. Of this lot probably six will remain. Here is the host of sharpahooters from which the Victoria manager will select his hurling outfit: Xarveson Picked by the ' Baseball Magaxine as one of the best SO pitchers In the game last year. He played with Moose Jaw. Twilight League, to which club he was farmed by Victoria: led the league In pitching, winning 23 times out of 30 starts; batted .366; . said to be a real "peach."

Has highest recommendation from Jimmy Toman, the umpire. Rube Griffin. Jimmy Concannon. Kan tlehner and Daniels Quartet of Inex perienced southpaws cleaned from the Winter League. Plcke by Wattlet as future stars.- Olson. Toman's protege, was highly praised for his work In the Winter league. One of McCredle's Southern California friends advised the Beaver chieftain to sign him. Manager Mac Investigated and announced that he would get the youngster. Wattelet waa on the ground, however, and got his signature affixed to a contract before McCredle had a chance to do anything: further. "My team looks to be a great deal stronger than in 1911," said the Can adian magnate, "and if fortune's whims are not fatal, we ought to finish third. The least I can figure is fourth. ..attelet la Hopeful, Last season I was handicapped by the luck of p. competent field leader. This year it will be different. In the acquisition of Nordyke. I have obtained one of the brainiest baseball men on the Pacific Coast and I expect him to make cood with a capital 'G.' Besides giving the Bees added strength from the managerial end. Nordyke will help considerably to holster up the infield. He la. without question, the most val uable first baseman In the league." Victoria wasn't overbardened with profits when the 1911 season clos.jI. This year, however. Wattelet expe.ts to get back what was dropped In 1911 and a few thousand more.- "Victoria is the best baseball town In tha league." said Wattelet. "This may sound pretty big. but It's true, never theless. We hsd 17 weeks on the road last season: we'll be the home team half of the time this year. That will make all the difference In the world. "As a tail-end club we were royally patronized at home. If m-e aucceed In keeping in the first division this year, the Victoria fans, ever willing to ap plaud and stand by a-club that is try ing, will be happy. It looks as If the whole leajue will have a prosperous season." Nick Williams lost no time in Pan Francisco. The leader of the Roadsters had a long chat with Manager Dan Long, of Hie Seala. and received the promise of three of four players before the close of the Seals' training cruise. Williams also switched his traln'ng plans. Instead of using Chlco, he will let his men do some "of their prelim inary work at T.edding. General facll itlea wera found to be far better in the latter town. XEW COfXTRY CLLB PROPOSED Portland Men Take Option on Golf Coarse Xear Oregon City. OREGON CITY. Or.. March S. (Spe cial.)
