rXIVKRSITY OK OREGON. 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.

I wnen a.ftf i rum iiicti " w
i so it waa with much reluctance that
; Leonard A. 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."
"Klddo" Wilson Sioux City. .West

reputation of being one of the best In

need of seasoning.
Smith Maeh Touted.
Walter Smith Bought from Detroit:
touted as a second Walter Johnson. De
troit thought so well of him that a man
was sent out to Pocatello, Idaho, to
sign him. He stands feet S inches In
his baseball togs.
"Jeff" Clark Secured from Mobile.
Southern League, lias had seasons in
the Western and Texas State Leagues.
Joel Berger Former Seal: set the
Washington State League dippy with
.his wonderful pitching last year.
Urady Twilight League product.
Wattelet figures he Is ripe for faster
company now.
Olson Jlant "husher" from the Win
ter League. Southern California. 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.
