A N'T A .MARIA. Cal.. March 1J.
(Special.) Templo, according to the
un-ihririifed. Is a sanctuary of worship.
Solomon owed considerable of hi no
toriety to his temple at Jerusalem. The
Kuypllans. 5reck. Unmans. Persians
and other ancient had temples for
worship. On the sacrificial platform
of Antec temple thousand of victims
perished annually, while closer at home
Ihe Mormons designate as "The Tem
ple' the worshipful medium at Salt
Lake City.
This Is no svtnnoslum on religious
history, but It does serve to throw the
spotliicht of publicity toward one of
tno new Portland Coast Leacue pitch
ers, a modern Temple. William, by
watery anointment, for whom Manaaer
Mct'redle predicts all the worshipful
adulation of the cobwebby Mosque of
Omar.
Temple la t.laat.
William Temple Is the hlit rlKht-hand
Imrler bought from the chuinpion
Fprlniflcld club of the Connecticut
Slate League about three weeks ago
when pitcher Oreenwell. of the same
club, refused to obey baseball man
dates and come Westward. He Is a
giant In stature: Is single: Is a
college men In Intellect; I am
bltiou snj sober; has served some
time with a major J.ague club, and,
moreover, had remarkable success since
breaking Into the professional pitching
game back In 19US.
Temple hasn't a romantic or Imagi
native stitch In his fabric. He Is sober,
minded an.l prosaic, hut In his six feet
one inch of bone and muscle and 190
pounds of meat, we have him the big
gest man on the- Portland gunning
committee.
Career "Carta la Cellese.
"I began pitching at the Agricultural
and Mechanical College at Raleigh. N.
i.. in I9S." said Temple yesterday,
discussing his brief baseball career. "I
was off a farm at Siinford. N. C. and
was taking the mechanical course. Bill
IJnd.ay an.l 1 played against each
other on rival college aggregations, for
I pit hed for the Raleigh school for
three seasons.
"My professional career waa begun
with Chester In the South Carolina
State League. Class l In 190$. when I
won 11 and lost T. besides playlnif the
outfield in 70 games and hutting ."'29.
Norfolk drafted me that Kail, and I
won IT an.l lost 9 for thi Virginia
State league club In I90!. Watt Pow
ell. iM.ar.e and Schmidt were In the dr.
cult then.
"The New York Cianl drafted me for
191'." continued the big right hander.
"I went to .Marlln Springs with Mc
;raw and stuck on the bench without a
trial until the middle of June, when
"M'icgsv" sent me to North Hampton,
In the Connecticut Slate League, where
I played all year without a contract. I
won 14 and lost 11 with a club that
finished In seventh place."
Hadarra Prises Temple,
Metmger. of Los Angles; Leverenz.
Teckinpaugh and Hill Rodger, captain
of the Heavers, were In the Connecticut
I-eaguo In 1910. and Rodgers pay a
high tribute to the ability of the big
mound artist.
New York Illegal "farming'' method
resulted In Temple being declared a
free agent In the Winter of 1911. and
he signed with Springfield. In the same
league, for service last year. Spring
field won the pennant, due partly to
Temple consistent maneuvering on
Ihe hill, where he won 1 games and
lost II.
"I think I will make good with Port
land." said he. And his -record of S3
games won and only 39 lost In our
car of ball would seem to Justify tola
NNER
confidence. Remember that I a grand
average of .STi. which In probably 12a
points over the average of the clubs

lineup was the same as yesterday, and
they had little trouble In defeating; the
school boy.
Kane, the crack left liel.ler. was there
again today with the stick, and if he
continues In this form he will no doubt
equal Buddy Ryan's batting- average
of last season. Hogan had Stewart and

lovers of the titlc art. following- an
announcement yesterday that the pro
posed 10-round boxing exhibition be
ween Danny O'Brien and Earl Hen
derson at Gresham tonight Is not to be.
Sheriff Stevens was closeted with the
members of the grand Jury yesterday
morning; and exploded the bomb when
he emerged from the conference.
O'Brien and Henderson were sched
uled to meet at Oresham tonight In a
10-round no-declslon contest. Pro
moter A. J. Edwards went ahead with
all plans for the match, confident that
no effort would be made to stop It.
However, the grand Jury took up the
matter yesterday, called in the sheriff,
and the lid was clamped down.
Portland fandom was planning to
send many representatives to the
Gresham ring programme. Ticket
were purchased, automobiles hired,
and plans made for a special train to
the suburban arena.
Promoter Edwards I now dickering
with several towns without the Mult
nomah County border, and expects to
announce another scene within the
next few days. The boxers are In ex
cellent trim for the fracas, so a de
lay means nothing more than a few
extra days of training: for them.
The inability of the grand Jury to
see "boxing- exhibition" In the pro
posed mill, was responsible for the
diet. Just what effect the decision
will have on the future game In Port
land is unknown. Boxing exhibitions
are licensed by state and city law.
Grade School Baseball.
Shaver and Eliot baseball teams of
the third section of the Grammar
School league met yesterday after
noon on the Columbus Club field, the

the features of the game. The bat

for the Shaver; Kllnk and Stuerhoff
for the Eliot.
Vernon defeated Peninsula yesterday,
10 to 1. In a rather featureless game.
Gray, pitching for Vernon, played a

Oregon Agricultural College wins
the 1912 Northwest College Conference
basketball championship. Three of the
five Institutions eligible lo vole on the
question which has been agitating Ore

University have expressed themselves,

A movement was on iuui i " -school
together by the resumption of
athletic relations severed by Oregon
Agricultural College, but the Oregon
championship claims dampened Cor
vallls' enthusiasm for the "kiss and
make up" act.
Following the defeat of 'Washing-ton
University at Eugene. Oregon set up a
claim for the conference title, holding
that It record of eight victories and
two defeats entitled It to the crown.
Oregon Agricultural College has won
nine games and lost two. but the Ore
gon enthusiasts contended that two of
the games were scheduled after the
opening of the season, and hence were
illegal.
The "Aggies" hold that the extra
games were scheduled In good faith
before the weakness of the teams was
disclosed, and further argue that no
rule or precedent prohibited the sched
uling of games after the conference
meeting.

SOLOMON CHALLENGES SIBLEY
Portland Three-Cushion Exper'
Would Play Seattle Man.
In answer to an article on three
cushion billiards and championships,
written bv O. J. Mills, an exhibition
pool and billiard player, for the Seattle
Post-Intelligencer. Henry Solomon, the
Pacific Coast three-cushion champion,
declares that lie is ready to meet Sibley,
the Seattle expert touted by Mills, any
time and at any place for a side bet be
tween $500 and 8I00O.
"Last Summer I went to Seattle for
tbe express purpose of meeting Sibley,"
I said Solomon last night. "For some
: unaccountable reason he crawfished
I out of the match after I had posted
my money with responsible parties in
Seattle.
"Again. Mills declares that I never
challenged Carney for the world's
championship. I sent a challenge and
had. made a deposit with responsible
parties here, and all the details for
the match a far as I was concerned
were straightened out.
"Further, I can beat Mills at his
own game, giving him a good handi
cap, and will play him for any amount
of money. I will play him 250 to 200
points. 1 also have a son 12 years old
whom I will match against him for
a good substantial side bet any time
that Mills sees fit."
LONG GIVES TENTATIVE CHOICE
Seal Manager Sure of Some Places.
Ontfielders in Doubt. .
PASO ROBLES. Cal.. March 19.
(Special.) Unofficially .Manager Long
announced today the selection of some
players who will sport San Francisco
uniforms during the coming season.
The players are: Johnson tn the out
field. Corhan at third base. McArdle
at short, Kid Mohler.. at second. Jack
son at first, . Gedeon sub infielder;
catchers, Lauer and Berry, and
pitchers. Henley, Miller, Fanning:. Xoy
ers. Melkle and Baker. Of course this
list Is subject to " change during the
final two weeks of training, but it is
odds-on bettftig that these players will
occupy berths on the bench when the
season opens on April 2.
"I Intend to keep five outfielders all
season for substitute work and also
timely hitting-." said Long today. "That
means that one of the present men
must go and I tell you It is going to
be some task to pick that man. Hart
ley. Mundorff. Powell. Mnlver and Raf
tery have been playing great ball
and are so evenly balanced that It is
hard to choose between them."
It is known that it is the Seals'
pitching staff that needs the most at
tention. Pitchers Strand. Fanning. Toner and
Taylor have not been In shape so far
to show their form and Long will with
hold his judgment until he can see
them properly worked out.

will meet Zbyszko.
"Gotch was right when he said that
Mahmout is a better man than the
champion," continued Herman. "Mah
mout is a better man than Gotch, and
no one realizes it more than Gotch
himself. But we have defeated Mah
mout twice already, and are willing to
meet him again if he will, bet the
money or secure a club to offer a good
purse.
"Primarily, we are after the world's
heavyweight championship. If we can
not force Gotch into a match we are
going to make him quit the game.. He
has slighted Zbyszko repeatedly. Ignor
ing him when mentioning the top
notchers In the game. We have con
vinced the public that Zbyszko is the
man to be reckoned with for the title,
and Gotch must soon meet the Pole or
retire for good."
Herman has nothing but a good
laugh for Klank's challenge to back
Beell for $2500 against Zbyszko if the
European champion will make 200
pounds. "The offer is ridiculous and
made only for cheap advertising pur
poses. It is Just as ridiculous as this:
I will back Johnny Billiter against
Beell for $5000. Billiter to throw him
five times in one hour, providing that
Beell will make 150 pounds ringside.
Beell can make 150 pounds more easily
than- Zbyszko can make 200, and it is
an impossible feat for the big fellow."
Zbyszko will weigh 230 pounds when
he meets Berg Friday night. He Is a
deceptive looking fellow, his street ap
pearance belying the weight and won
derful strength his mat regalia dis
closes. Following the match here with Berg
Zbyszko is scheduled to give Spokane
fans an exhibition of his prowess
against the same man March 26. If
Berg adheres to this schedule, fears
are entertained that he will not be in
shape for the light heavyweight cham
pionship match with Fred Beell in
Portland on March 29.

Kirby Finds Olympic Material
in Western Athletes.
BELLAH IS SURE OF PLACE
Ed m tin son. Smithson. Rose. Ho
rine, Donahue and Snedegar Are
Heg-arded by Him as Real
Champions In Events.
NEW YORK. March 1!. Gustavus
T. Kirby. president of the American
Athletic Union, just returned from an
extended trip across the continent, re-
nnrtu lhat PVCrVwlllTI Interest In tllft
approaching Olympic games is keen.
A large part oi ins time was pu
in looking over prospective Western
members of the American team and he
returned with a fairly long list of
names which he regards as well nigh
certain of a place.
"There certainly can be no doubt
about the selection of Ralph Rose," he
said to inquirers. "He shows every
evidence of rounding into better con
dition than ever before. Bellah is cer
tainly a great pole vaulter and broad
Jumper, and anyone who as consistently
vaults close to 13 feet and broad jumps
close to 2-i feet should have the best
of chances of making the team.
"Then there is Snedegar with his
javelin record. Horine Is to be reck
oned with in the high Jump. I saw him
i .j dIv fpt two inehe in a practice
with comparative ease. Donohue. now
In Seattle, is in spienuia conumou aim
will be a formidable competitor for the
Pentathlon. Seattle believes that Ed
mundson is the best half-miler in the
country.
"It therefore should appear that
the Olympic Club of San Francisco, with
Rose and Snedegar and Horine. the
Los Angeles Athletic Club, with Smith,
son and Donohue; the Multnomah Ath
letic Club, of Portland, with Bellah; and
the Seattle Athletic Club, with Ed
mundson: should have the best chances
of representation upon the American
Olympic team."
