Bill James Wants Bunts for Infield
Included in Work.
VISAL1A. Cal.. March 20. (Special.)
"More fungo hitting to the lnfleld
ers," Is the plea put forth by Pitcher
Bill James, who has some first-class
Ideas of his own on the proper pro
cedure of the Spring training routine.
Big Bill avers that the managers
spend several hours a week drilling
their lnflelders on grounders and bunts
and on team plar. but never a pop fly
tall is knocked to the quartet around
the Infield stations.
"Hughey Jennings is the only man
ager I know of who includes Infield
7 $-
flies on the Spring training curricu
lum." says James. "Of course, most in
fielders are death on fly balls, but
know several who do mighty sloppy
work."
Oua Fisher, Beaver catcher, is one
who agrees with James, and the ex
Cleveland and New York backstop sees
to it that he gets a regular diet of high
fouls during the preliminaries.

Northwestern baseball fans will not
be forced to wait until after the open
tng of the season on April 15 to get
a fair line on the strength of the sex
tet of diamond squads, for, unless ail
signs fail, the famous American Giants,
the negro team of Chicago, will meet
every team in the circuit before the
opening of the 1913 campaign.
W. W. McCredie, Portland baseball
magnate, closed a deal yesterday after
noon for the appearance of the "Negro
Majors" in Portland for Saturday and
Sunday, April 13 and 13, against the
Colts. As these games depend upon
other exhibitions with Northwestern
League clubs, the tentative schedule as
presented by railroad officials probably
will be followed.
Portland and Northwestern fans, who
folowed the Giants in their games with
the Beavers, winning four in five con
tests, are eager to see these highly-
touted black men In action. In ad
dition to the novelty of witnessing
players whose color is the only barrier
to tne majors, the opportunity of siz
lng up the Northwestern League teams
by comparative scores appeals to the
bugs.
McCredie has promised to aid In se
curing several games in Southern Ore
gon for the Giants, who leave Los
Angeles for the North March 29. Arthur
Geary, graduate manager of athletes at
the University of Oregon, was In Port
land yesterday and practically closed
for an appearance of the negroes
against the collegians at Eugene.
The Giants wished to open their
Northwestern tour In Portland but the
Colts will not be here until April 12,
so when Fielder Jones advised Manager
Foster that nothing could be lost by
returning to Portland from the North
ern cities of the circuit, the dates were
accepted. Jones and Foster, the latter
known as the "Black Mathewson,"
knew each other In Chicago when
Fielder was piloting the White Sox.
McCredie received a poster yesterday
advertising the Colt-Seal series. The
poster presents a picture of Nap Lajole.

COLLEGE GAMES POSTPONED
Cnlverslty of Oregon Team Will
Open Season Here April 10.
The opening of the college baseball
season In Portland has been postponed
from April 12 to April 19. with the
University of Oregon team meeting the
Multnomah Club boys on Multnomah
Field.
This postponement was necessitated
by the annual Columbia University
track and field championships on April
together with the rival baseball
attraction in the shape of the negro
Colt struggle.
Manager Lyle Brown is negotiating
with Willamette and. the Oregon "Ag
gies' for games. Two are to be
scheduled with each team. One of
the games with the "Aggies" will' be
played on Multnomah Field May 30.
Yachtsman Tells New York Club If
His Interpretation Is Accepted Ho
Will Remove Objectionable
Words From Challenge.
BELFAST, Ireland. March 20. A re
quest was sent today by cable by the
Royal Ulster Yacht Club asking the
New York Yacht Club for a reconsid
eration of its refusal of Sir Thomas
Llpton's challenge for the America's
cup. This was accompanied bv a long
statement from Sir Thomas Lipton with
which the committee of the Irish Club
signified Its agreement.
The committee hopes that tne Har
monious relations of the two clubs will
be cemented further by another suc
cessful series of races and therefore
requests the New York Club to recon
sider the challenge.
Sir Thomas Lipton s statement is as
follows:
"I deeply regret that the New York
Yacht Club has been unable to accept
my challenge. After reading the ex
planation given of its refusal I can
only conclude that the challenge and
the Intentions of the challengers have
been misinterpreted.
Deed ot Gift Quoted,
The deed of eift states:
" 'The competing yachts or vessels of
one mast shall not be less than 65
feet or more than 90 feet at the water
line.' "The deed of gift also states that
there shall be no time allowance.
"It must be presumed that the fram
ers of the deed of gift intended that
some reasonable meaning should be at
tached to their words and they could
never have contemplated such-an ab
surdity as a challenger of 65-feet being
met by a 90-foot defender.
"The deed of gift also requires that
10 months prior to the race the chal
lenger shall communicate the dimen
sions of his yacht, which dimensions
shall not be exceeded. If the real
meaning of the words quoted is that
the challenger Is the person to fix with
in the limitations of the deed of gift
the dimensions of the competing yacht
and that both yachts are to be of that
dimension, then the deed at once be
comes intelligibla and reasonable.
New York View Combated.
I submit that this is the true in
terpretation of the deed of gift.
It was on this understanding tnat
I challenged and I repudiate the idea
that any attempt has been made to im
pose limitations or restrictions not
within the deed of gift.
i venture to disagree from the
statement made by the New York
Yacht Club that the present challenge
does not differ in principle from the
challenge I sent ts America in 1907.
The 1907 challenge asked for a varia
tion of the deed of gift, in order to
permit of a race under the universal
rule No such variation Is asked for
in this case, and I fail to see that there
Is any analogy between the two chal
lenges. I fully understood the decision or
the New York Yacht Club in 1907 to
Dermit no variation from the deed of
gift, despite mutual agreement on the
clause, but I maintain that tnis nas
no bearing whatever upon my present
challenge.
Extremes Regarded Too Great.
The New York Yacht Club states
that it would have accepted with pleas
ure an unconditional challenge. The
only conditions I ask for are those of
the deed of gift, for I cannot conoelve
that the framers of that document, af
ter taking pains to prohibit all time
allowance, contemplated races Detween
such ridiculous extremes as yachts of
65 and 90 feet.
Tf. upon reconsideration, which I am
sure tho New York Yacht Club will be
good enough to give this matter, they
accept my interpretation of the deed of
a-ift. I shall be happy to remove from
my challenge the words to which they
object.
Mv reason for selecting a 76-iooier
is that a yacht of this dimension rep
resents the largest type of cutter now
racing in any part of the world.
PORTLAND GETS S
AIREDALES TO BE EXHIBITED
HERE APRIL- 2-5.
Local Fanciers Willing to Let Event
Go to Seattle, bnt Officers
Slake Award.
Without any effort on the part of the
officers of the Portland Kennel Club to
secure it, the Northwest Airedale Fu
turity Club again will hold its annual
exhibit for the Airedale stakes at the
show here April 2-6. So much was
learned yesterday by Secretary J. J.
McCarthy, who received a telegram
that 100 Airedales would be coming
down. This refers to the clun s dogs
only.
As a rule the stakes is held at the
various Northwest shows in order and
it was generally felt and conceded
here that Seattle would gain the ex
hibit this season: in fact. Portland fan
ciers did their best to recommend the
Puget Sound city.
Once again it nas Deen a case ot a
professisonal Judge, with a specialty
for Airedales, proving a greater draw
ing card than an amateur. Last year
Portland was thought to be doing well
in securing 66 dogs from the club, but
that number Is practically doubled, so
that prospects for a four-point show
are unusually bright.
Frank Watkins will not Judge at
Seattle, as had been expected, because
the San Francisco dates conflict with
he Seattle dates, and Watkins has to
be at the California show.
San Francisco dates are April 7 to
10 Seattle's are April 10 to 12. Port
land finishes the Saturday before San
Francisco opens and that win hardly
Kive the men time to get their dogs
down, let alone give them a rest.
There is but slight prospect lor an
alteration, for the dog fanciers in Cali
fornia are strong, among them being
Spreckels, Ackerman and Stettbeimer,
all men with Influence and money at
their command.
Amateur Athletics.
Hopkln Jenkins, principal of the Jef
ferson High School, has secured the
services of Harvey Newell, whose play

was a feature, as coach of the 1913
Jefferson baseball squad. Newell has
decided to keep the players from work-

SPOKANE TO STAGE BIG MEET
Boxers and Wrestlers to Compete for
Inland Empire Championship.
SPOKANE. Wash., March 20. (Spe

city and town In the Inland Empire
will meet in Spokane May 13 and 14
for a two-day smoker, the biggest

The meet will take place at the Spo

evenings of these dates and Judges will
be named to pick (at the conclusion)
the champion amateur boxers and mat
workers of the Inland Empire.
Clubs from Coeur d'Alene, Pullman
Moscow, Hillyard and several other
places have signified their desire to be
entered in the meet, and letters win
be sent immediately to dozen other
towns asking them to send their ama
teurs in both lines.
Plans for this smoker are being com.

SANTA ROSA, Cal., March 20. (Spe

at thetralning camp today. Pitchers

will take things easy for a day or two.
Two good practices were Indulged in
today, two and one-half hours in the
morning and the same length of time
in the afternoon. The morning work

tomorrow. Their most probable line
up will be:
