Both Oregon and Agricultural Col

Over Outcome of Collegiate
Championships.
Two important track and field meets
ara on the programme for thta after
noon. Portland Interscholastic League
schools will vie for the Portland cham
pionship on Multnomah Field at 2
o'clock, while at Corvallls the Univer
sity of Oregon and the Oregon Agricul
tural College will clash in the annual
dual meet for state college champion
ships. In the local meet six schools will be
entered: Washington. Jefferson and
Lincoln High Schools. Columbia Uni
versity. Portland Academy and Hill
Military Academy. Columbia is picked
to win the title because Callicrate's
boys romped home In the state Inter
scholastic meet at Eugene and also fin
ished on top In the Spring Columbia
matinee.
Washington captured the title last
year, but most of the stars are minus.
Dick Grant, sprinter, switched to Hill
last Fall, but will be ineligible to com
pete. Goreczky. of Columbia. Is expected to
win both the 100 and 220 dashes; Ma
larkey of Columbia, Kennedy of Jeffer
son and Robinson of Hill are choices In
the 400: Johnson of Washington will
likely win both weight events: in the
distances Staub of Washington is fa
vorite in the 880. while Jefferson is
picked to take two places In the mile
with Langley, Harmon and Demmon
entered.
Mulrhead of Columbia Is favorite in
the high Jump, having cleared 5 feet
14 inches, and Manson of Columbia and
Bonney of Jefferson in the pole vault:
the hurdlee will lie between Mulrhead
and Gorecxky. both of Columbia.
In the Oregon state collegiate cham
pionships at Corvallls both rival schools
express confidence in the outcome.
Baker of the Aggies will be favorite In
the 100 dash, but Kay of Oregon will
give him a hard rub in the 220 dash.
The same uncertainty prevails In the
440. where Walters of Dr. Stewarts
Aggie squad is about on a par with
Wlndnagle of Oregon.. In the hurdle
events and in the pole vault neither
team boasts of any stars, and the high
places might be figured as belonging
to either team with equal Justice

RITCHIE AND RIVERS
AGREE ON CONTEST
Champion to Defend Title at
San Francisco, July 4.
Obstacles Gone.
DETAILS NOT ALL SETTLED
Pugilists Yet to Decide on Weight,
Keferee and Forfeits McCarey
Relents and Tells Levy to Go
On and Fight In North.
SAN FRANCISCO. May 23. (Special.)
Willie Ritchie, of San Francisco,
lightweight champion pugilist of the
world, and Joe Fivers, of Los Angeies.
considered nearest to the throne, are
as good as matched for a 20-round
contest to take place in this city on
the afternoon of the Fourth ot July.
The only obstacle to the match the
question whether Rivers would have
to be bound to his promise to fight
before Tom McCarey's Los Angeles
club was removed today when Joe
Levy, representing Rivers, telegraphed
Eddie Graney that McCarey had re
lented and that he was prepared to
sign with the San Francisco promoter.
Details Yet Unsettled.
The financial question has been set
tled with Ritchie on the one hand
and with Rivers on the other. There
are still such details as the question
of what weight is to govern the match,
the posting of the forfeits and the
naming of the referee to be decided.
Graney has telegraphed Levy to come
to San Francisco immediately for a
conference and the final conference
will be arranged as soon as Ritchie and
Billy Nolan reach San Francisco from
Portland.
At that time, forfeits will be posted
and all the preliminary details will be
worked out. Ritchie will go to Nolan's
ranch for a rest of 10 days or two
weeks before going into active train
ing and Rivers by that time will have
settled his own training plans. It is
possible that he will do some of his
work In Los Angeles, but Graney will
ask him to spend at least two weeks in
some training camp in or near San
Francisco to advertise the match.
Arena May Be Bollt.
Graney Is not inclined at this time
to make any announcement as to bis
plans for staging the bout, but says
In all probability it will be an open
air fight and he will likely construct
an arena for the occasion.
When Tom O'Day pulled off the Wol-gast-Nelson
lightweight battle in
Richmond it cost him $2000 to build
an arena and it can probably be done
for about the same figure in San Fran
cisco. The telegram that came from Los
Angeles, which tells of the relinquish
ment of McCarey's cherished plans. Is
as follows:
"Los Angeles, May 23, 1913. Eddie
Graney. San Francisco. McCarey has
released me. When can I see yon?
"JOE LEVY."
As has been told. Graney has already
telegraphed Levy to come to San Fran
cisco, cither leaving Los Angeles this
morning or tomorrow.
There was still another telegram
from Nolan in the north, where he
says:
"Vancouver, B.. C. May 23. 1913
Eddie Graney, San Francisco Sent
Levy my answer yesterday. We leave
Portland on night of June 1. Must
get to the ranch at once. Have every
body ready to post forfeits on our ar
rival. BILLY NOLAN."
"I don't want to talk about where
the match will be staged or the other
details." said Graney, "until I have
their signature to the contract and
their forfeits are posted. Then I will
have something to say."
Batting Rally Saves Lincoln High.
With the score 5 to 3 against them
in the rifth Inning yesterday, the
Lincoln High School baseball team
started a batting rally throughout the
remaining inning and defeated the
Portland Academy 13 to 6. This victory
gives Lincoln second place in the Port
land Interscholastic League. Mc
Tarnahan started to pitch for Lincoln,
but, after five scores had crossed, he
made way for Billy Lewis. Schoenberg
and Kingsley were the batteries for
Portland Academy.

TOLEDO, Wash., May 23. (Special.)
Residents of Toledo, Chehalis and
the lower Cowlitz Valley last night
celebrated the visit of the State High
way Commission, headed by Governor
Lister and Highway Commissioner W.
J. Roberts. An active committee of th6

was held that taxed the capacity of the
building.

elaborate banquet was served at Eagle
Hall, under direction of the Ladies'
Civic Improvement Club. The state
highway board had especially request
ed that on this occasion the local
speakers present their reasons why
the surveyed route via Toledo be
finally officially chosen as the rout
for the Pacific Highway, and this was
done.
The board also expects to inspect
the proposed route via Winlock and
Little Falls, when they will determine
the auestlon of location.

VANCOUVER, May 23. (Special.)
After having traveled over every mile
of the Pacific Highway from Blaine,
Wash., on the Canadian line, to the
north bank of the Columbia River, Gov.
ernor Lister and all members of the
State Highway Commission reached
here tonight and were given a warm
reception. The worst part of the Pa
cific Highway was passed oyer today
from the east end of the newly-dedi
cated bridge spanning the north fork of
the Lewis River at wooaiana, to ija
Center, a distance of seven miles. This
was absolutely impassable with auto
mobiles, so the party was taken to La
Center In a hack, where all of the
school children, headed by a brass band,
met the distinguished visitors.
The members of the party were
Governor Lister. C. W. Clausen, State
Auditor: Edward Meath. State Treas
urer, and Mrs. Meath; M. M. Godman,
chairman of the Public Service Com
mission and the State Highway Com
mission; W. J. Roberts, State Highway
Commissioner; Will R. White. Chief
Engineer of the department, and L. H.
Darwin, State Fish Commissioner.
When asked if he favored a Pacific
Highway bridge at Vancouver, Gov
ernor Lister tonight said: "The time
will come when we will have an un
broken line of good highway from the
Canadian border to Mexico, but before
that Is accomplished an enormous
amount of work will have to be done.
Trip Now Complete.
"So that the State Highway Commis
sion may get the best possible results
from appropriations made for the con
struction of the Pacific Highway, we
have tonight completed the trip over
it from Blaine, on the British Columbia
line to Vancouver. The portion on the
upper side to Olympla was made about
two weeks ago, and from Olympia here
this week.
"We have $119,200 to expend on the
Pacific Highway from the south line of
Pierce County to Vancouver. We are
trying to figure out the 'points along
the line where this should be best ex
pended. A meeting of the State High
way Commission will be held next
week, when a decision will be made.
"Fine weather along the trip has
favored us and in each of the counties
we have been met by the County Com
missioners, County Engineers and city
officials, all of whom have rendered
every assistance possible and we feel
from the Interest displayed that there
will be a co-operation in the improve
ment work that cannot but result In
great good.
Trip Has Double Purpose.
"The trip was made for two pur
poses. First, so that each member of
the Commission personally could see
conditions as they really are; and, sec
ond, to go over the ground with county
and city authorities so that the dif
ferent interests can work together for
the best results. We feel assured from
the reception received along the line
that the trip will be a great benefit."
Half a dozen machines went out from
here this evening to meet the party.
After the party had taken a short
rest tonight,' and washed the dust from
their countenances, they were received
In the Elks' Home in the clubrooms.
where the Governor, W. J. Roberts,
State Highway Commissioner, and oth
ers, made speechs.
WOODLAVD HOST TO BOOSTERS
Governor Lister and Party Enjoy
Luncheon at Hotel Martin.
WOODLAND. Wash., May 23. (Spe
cial.) A big demonstration was occa
sioned today noon by the arrival of
the Governor and the State Highway
Commission. A great throng of people
were on hand to greet the party, and
it was with difficulty that the officials
forced their way Into the Hotel Martin
where a luncheon awaited them. The
Commission was augmented by 20
members of the Kelso and Kalama
Commercial Clubs, also representatives
of the Vancouver Commercial Club,
the LaCenter Club and the Ridgefield
Club, making a total of 70 good roads
boosters who sat down to the dinner.
Carl R- Collins was master of cere
monies at the luncheon. Three-minute
talks were made by Governor Lister,
members of the Commission and rep
resentatives of the several Commercial
Clubs, after which a short public re
ception was held at the library, tho
farmers taking a great deal of interest
in meeting the Highway Commission
and making their wants known.
State Highway Commissioner Rob
erts made clear the object of the trip
through the country, stating that it
was the purpose of the Commission
to make a personal inspection of the
Pacific Highway from the Pierce County
line to Vancouver, and to use the state
appropriation of $116,000 on the worst
stretches of road. The party found
the most difficulty between this place
and Kalama, but a stretch of almost
Impossible road lies between here and
LaCenter.
At 2 o'clock the party left for La
Center and Vancouver. Among the
visitors outside the official party were
William Marshall, Mr. Seacrist,' Wil
liam Lindsay, Walter Swarta, Mr. Raw
