"Billy" Sullivan, veteran Chicago "V.'hlte Sox catcher and 1909 manazer of Comlskey'a club, thlnkd that Phila delphia will win the 1913 American League pennant, with Byron Houck, the Portland boy. likely to prove one of Connie Slack's box mainstays. Sullivan, fresh from the White Sox ' special, which he left at Ogden, arrived ' in Portland Sunday night, visited his apple orchard at Newberft yesterday and leaves tonight for Paso Robles. where he will take up his duties of looking after the young pitchers of the Sox squad. "If Connie Mack's pitchers go riht, and I think they will, the Athletics should win the 1913 American League pennant." predicts "Sully." "You must figure Boston as the contender, while if our pitchers don't fall down on us, look out for the White Sox. Wash ington will not finish second but should be in the first division. Honelc IjooIcn Good. "This boy Houck looks like a coming star to me. He has the speed and the build to back it up. He should prove a big factor In the success of the Ath letics during the coming season." Billy also has a good word for "Red1 Kuhn. declaring that the former Port land receiver made good with the Sox last season. As for Buddy Ryan, the following verbal exchange between Sullivan and his old team and room mate Fielder Jones: vv ho sent this fellow Ryan up tliere?" queried Billy with a decidedly anti-Ryan grin. "Well, can't he hit?" parried Jones. "Well, it's hard to Judge a batter when he plays the bench all the time,1 was the retort.

SPORTING SPARKS JeOmon 7 point Washington 6 points Columsia 5 points Portland Academy 2 points Lincoln . 0 point? The Jefferson High School soccer football eleven won the 1913 Portland interscliolastlc soccer championship yesterday, when tne Washington eleven sprung the surprise of the season by defeating the Columbia University ag gregation, and the 1912 champions, 2 to 2, in one of the fastest and roughest Karnes ever witnessed on Jefferson field. The Jefferson High School has taken an active part in lnterscholastio ath letics for the past four years, and It was not until yesterday's victory by Washington that it was assured of its first athletic championship. Loughton, at center half for Wash ington, played a sensational game from the start, and his playing largely con tributed to tlie success of the team. Campbell, center forward; Daly, out side right, and Williams, Inside rijsht for Washington, scored one goal each. J. Manson, outside left, and Haywood, inside left, scored for Columbia. Campbell started the fireworks for the high school -team when lie shot a difficult goal early in the first half. Columbia quickly evened . matters up, when Haywood, after several attempts, sent a hot shot through the Washing ton goal posts. Both teams see-sawed up and down the field for the re mainder of the half, with neither eleven endangering the goals. . J. Manson broke the tie. late in the second half, when he ran the ball for a distance of 40 yards, evading many Washington players, and shot a goal which was too hot to stop. Although time was nearly up, the Washington eleven never gave up and fought stronger for victory as the game progressed. Careful manipulation of the ball on the part of Daly er.abled him to make an easy goal, tieing the score again. The Washington team was given a penalty kick when Haywood fouVd, and Williams shot the ball through the Columbia goal posts despite the efforts of O'Brien, goalkeeper, to stop It. J. Manson, Haywood.

Proposed Revision of Constitution, to - Bo Discussed hy Oregon "TJ" Associated Students. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene, Feb. 24. (Special.) The proposed re vision of the constitution and the elec tlon of an editor for the Emerald for the present semester are the most im portant maters to be considered at Wednesday's regular meeting of the as sociated students. Karl W. Onthank, the present editor of the Emerald, the trl-weekly student newspaper of the University of Oregon, probably will succeed himself in that office. At present no other candidates have been announced. The amendments to the constitution which will be submitted have been framed by a committee from the pres ent senior class appointed by President Carleton Spencer of the student body. The members ox this committee are Karl Martzloff, chairman; Edward Bailey, James Cecil. Howard Zlmmar man and Andrew Collier. Perhaps the most radical change proposed Is that calling for the raising of the student body tax charged all students from So to $8. The extra )3 will entitle each student to a ticket admitting him to all games and entertainments under student body control. Such tickets are now in use, having been Introduced by Oraduate Manager Geary last Fall, but their purchase is not compulsory. Another amendment proposed by the committee provides that only one first team sweater may he received by any athlete in a single year, irrespective of the number of sports In which he en gages. Under the present system a man is awarded a sweater every time he wins a letter in any recognised branch of athletics. In this way a versatile man often receives three sweaters during the year, and as result collects an extensive wardrobe In the course of his athletic carser.

CaL, Feb. 24. (Spe cial.) Spring training plans for the Los Angeles baseball team were given temporary setback by the heavy rains of the last two days. Most of the men reported at Washington park to day, but had to sit Idle around tha stove in the training quarters. Washington Park looked like a swim ming pool, and Venice Park was float- j ing. The Tigers were timed to sturt work today, but their Venice homo Is not yet ready to receive them, and they must rest until other arrangements are made. As the Venice Park may not be In shape before March 13, it is possible that the Tigers will train away from home, rs was planned originally. Santa Barbara is bidding for the club, and the idea of training there appeals to Hogan. No holdouts are reported in either camp. Walter Carlisle, Catchers Ton nemann and' Elliott, of the Tigers, and Pitchers Rodgers and Crabbe and ln flelder Fahey arrived today. All the others are either here or have reported wotell on the waiting list. and Driscoll. Some- bunch, that, and every man will bo given a chance. "Behind the bat we have Boles, Brooks and Hoffman. Hughie Smith, wants to come back, but he has an Idea that he would make a good first baseman. Not much chance, though, with Dillon and Gill on the Job. "As for our infield: Ulll at first. Page at second, Howard or Fahey In the short field and Metzger covering third. See any sign of insect life on that crowd? "Our outfield, and, honestly, I hate to talk about that bunch of stars, con sists of Rube Ellis, Earl Maggert and Charley Moore, with Hans Lober and by mall that they will get here later. SEALS START ' TRAINXVG SEASON Players Depart for Quarters at Boyes Springs. SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 24. Special.) Manager Howard, with half a dozen Seals, beat the scheduled opening of Spring training a day by stealing away to Boyes Springs today. The party consisted of Pitcher Houghes, Southpaw Massow, Wagner, Hoffman, Arlett and Callan, a Los An geles busher. Zimmerman, McArdle, Mundorft, Spencer and Pat Harklns have been at the camp for some days. Practically all the other boys will arrive today and leave for Boyes. Roy Corban arrived from Albuquerque to day, McCarl, McCorry and Henry are also here. The others expected are Henley, Delhi, Sepulveda, Kibble, Cothier, Cartwright, Standridge end Frosty Thomas. The entire squad, with but' two ex ceptions will be taking light exercise at Boyes Springs inside of the next couple of days. The exceptions are: Third Sacker Wuffll and Southpaw Jess Baker. Both are hold-outs, Wuffll for transportation from his home in Cleve land and Baker for more money, Magnate Ewing has made announce ment that he has spoken the last word In their cases and they can report or remain out of the fold. Howard has mapped out a training programme that calls for only light training for the first two or three days. 27 ANGELS TO REPORT HENRY BERRY SAYS HIS TEAM WILL HOLD LEAD. Shortstop Declared Only Position That Worries Magnate. Who Says Berger Spoiled Public. . LOS ANGELES. Feb. 24. (Special.) Speed on the base lines and tha .300 whack stuff will keep the Angels run ning "one, two" all season long. So says President Henry Berry, and as "Hen" is paying the freight he is en titled to his opinion. 'Twenty-seven Angels have reported to Captain Dillon and I am perfectly satisfied with my team," said Berry, We will fight at the top all season. and will be there when the last gong rings. 'Now. I will go around the field ana give you a general Idea of the 1913 Angel lineup. For pitchers we have Tozer. Chech, Ryan, Perrltt, Rodgers, Jackson, Nagle, Hewett, Crabb, Slagle 'Pardon me If I go into the technical. but I must take up that crowd and show you the speed spots, because It Is speed on the base lines and .300 hitting that is going to win for us. "Look at Gill. He Is easily one of the best first basemen the Coast League has ever had. He Is a wonderful pinch hitter and as fast as a streak. Page Is a beautiful fielder, fast on the bases and hits .300. Howard and Fahey both are fast and heavy hitters. Metzger is the only slow man, and he doesn't stay in one place long at that. "Ellis, Maggert and Moore are like lightning on the bases, and each of these birds hit around the .300 mark. There are seven fast men out of eight. We will outhlt any club In the league and steal more bases. "If I have a single worry. It is about the shortstop position. After giving the public a star like Joe Berger, It Is difficult to please them with a sub stitute. "We open with the Chicago White Sox at Washington park on March C, and play 12 exhibition games. By that time we will be ready for the opening of the regular season, when we shall attend to the case of that person you call let's see, Hogan, I believe his name is." Washington C 7, Pullman 13.
