TSiursday, April 2di and Continues Until Fans in Canadian City Will ; Have Another Week in Which to Decide on Course. Negroes Tie Up Score in First Half of Ninth but Whitt's Hit in Last Half Counts. Saturday Night at 10:30 See Letter From Our Factory: ABERDEEN FORCED TO WAIT Yashiiiglon Harbor City Begins to Think It Is Being: Used" by . Owners of Bees as Club to Hold Over Canadians. ABERDEEN, Wash., April 1. (Spe cial.) Baseball fans here were disap pointed today when word was received that L. A. "Wattelet, and T. P. McCon aell. owners of the Victoria franchise, had extended the option on the club given Victoria fans, for one week, or until 3 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. There was also a feeling prevalent to day that the proposal of Aberdeen to buy the franchise is being used as a plub to beat the Victoria fans into line. Wattelet expected to leave Victoria yesterday for the Harbor. It was sup posed that he would stop over in Seat tle, and perhaps Tacoma, to consult vith the league magnates there, but latest advices said that he was still in V ictoria. Fans here, however, have not given up hope. Reports from Victoria indi cate that the town is not overly anxious to keep the franchise. The option is really in the hands of real estate opera tors, who will not exercise it unless they can get the most enthusiastic sup port, something which has been lacking In Victoria. It is felt here that the option will not be exercised. Word will be sent Vic toria that the Harbor's offer will be withdrawn upon .the date fixed for the exp'ration of the option to Victoria. That will prevent any more juggling with the Harbor as a foil. It will also provide a definite date for the settle ment of the whole affair. Promoters here feel that the Harbor cannot afford to wait more than a week longer. Further delay would mean in ability to get a team together.

BOXING TOUBXEY REDUCED Club's City Championship Fails tT Draw Expected Hig Entry List. Because of a lax entry list, Multno mah Club's city championship boxing tournament has been cut down from WORLD POLO MEET SURE EXPOSITION OFFICIALS SET AJ-IDE 100,000 FOR TOURNAMENT. Director of 1915 Fair Believe Score of Foreign Nations 'Will Be Repre sented at Proponed Event. SAN FRANCISCO, April 1. One hun dred thousand dollars was set aside to day by directors of the Panama-Pacific Exposition for the furtherance of a world's polo tournament the iirst ever to be held, it is saiC. "With the approval of the American Polo Association already granted, ex position officials said tonight it seemed reasonable to hope that a score of countries will be represented by one or more teams each. The time set, March 15 to May 1, 1915, insures good weather here, and at the same time provides for the closing of the tournament ahead of the usual dates for other big matches in the East and West. It was learned that Chile, Argentina, Germany, Eng land, Ireland, Hawaii, Cuba, Canada and India already have been sounded, with flattering responses. In America efforts will be made to line up the best civilian teams and those of the Army. Major-General Leonard Wood is named as an honorary -director, and it is not thought unlikely that there will be a President's cup or other trophy. The executive committee announced today is made up mostly of prominent polo players under the chairmanship of J. S. Tobin. Within 30 days two special commissioners will go abroad in the interests of the tournament. They are John B. Miller, of Pasadena, chairman of the Pacific Coast subcom mittee of the American Polo Associa tion, and J. Cheaver Cowdin, a member of the same committee. Both are mem bers of the executive committee under Tobin. Before sailing they will hold conferences with Eastern polo enthu siasts, and with General Wood, through whom they hope to reach the cavalry teams of foreign armies. Nearly every polo player of note In America is on the list of honorary directors. Track Team Tour Fruitful. SAN FRANCISCO, April 1. The first tangible result of the successful in vasion of Australasia by the four-man all-Amerlcan track team, which re turned home yesterday, was made known today through the publication of a statement that Australasia will send a team to San Francisco to take part in tie t'anama-Pacllic Exposition's International games. This plan is said to be traceable directly to the visit of the American athletes, and to the lavoraDie 'mpression they created. Detroit Team Unable to Play. CHATTANOOGA, Tetin., April 1.

BIG MEDFORD CROWD OUT Callahan Starts Game for Xick and Gives Way to Battiste, Two Huns In Lead in Fifth Latter Does Fair Work to Finish. MEDFORD, Or.. April 1. (Special.) Batting out two runs in the first half of the ninth and tlelng the score, 8 to Is, the Colored Giants later saw their hopes vanish and were sent down to defeat at the local ball park this afternoon, when Whltt, of Portland, laced out a blngle to right field fence in the last half, making the final score 9 to 8 in favor or the Port land Colt. After eight innings of rather stupid ball-playing the two teams seemed to wake up in the ninth and furnished the most exciting and thrilling finish ever seen in a ball game on the local field. The largest crowd on the present trip, according to Nick Williams, cheered the victors and applauded the vanquished as they lett the field. The feature of the game was the hitting of Shortstop Lloyd, of the Blacks, who laced out two home runs, one of the longest hits ever seen on the loeal field. Battiste, a former local boy. pitched for the Colts for five in nings and did fairly well. Callahan started the game and the Colts had a lead of two runs when he was taken out. Battiste was put in the box in the fifth and for.two Innings held the Giants down. In the seventh the Giants made two runs and in the first part of the ninth tied the score by banging out two home runs. In the last half of the ninth Coleman singled to left field and Netzel got to first on an error made by Wade and Whltt brought In the winning score with a bingle to the right field fence.

BOOSTERS TO MEET TODAY Hon Kuclcr .loins Jess Garrett's Helena Team, Jtapidly Being Put Into Shape Japanese Players' Coming bee ms Certain. Sickness In the Portland public schools always showed a decided In crease in April. That fact has long been well known, but the reason was not clear. The new Board of Directors has found both the reason and the cure. The reason is opening day of Coast League baseball in Portland and the cure is a half holiday Tuesday, April 14, when Portland opens against Oak land. The cure was practically assured at a meeting of the Grade Teachers' As sociation at the Hazel wood last night. Directors riuciiner, Sommcr and t. bin were invited to the meeting and the matter came up. The Easter holi days follow the remainder of that week and the question of dealing with open ing day came up. The teachers voted In favor of mak ing it a half holiday because of tlie fact that even If the pupils do come to school, the minds are all out at Vaughn street anyway, and work is Impossible. "Rather than spoil our efficiency and health records. I would make Tuesday a half holiday." says Mr. Plummer. "The matter will be taken up at the meeting of the Directors today, and 1 am sure that it will carry. I have a boy who could not be Induced to go to school and study on April 14. He would become very 111 about noon and we would have to write an excuse for him. I would much rather see the same avoided in other homes.' seeing that I am on the Board myself." The Baseball Boosters will meet at the Hotel Portland today to take uj fhial details In connection with the opening day programme. It Is the ffe sire of the committee to have the school baseball teams in the parade, to give the future fans the right start. ... Jess Garrett's Helena Club of the Cnlon Association has now been work, lng a week and to say that Jess Gar rett is pleased Is putting it mild. The only unknown quantity at present is the quality of the pitchers. The an nouncement made yesterday, to the ef fect that Don Rader, the ex-White Sox recruit, had been sold by Lincoln of the Western League to Helena, is an other substantial addition to infield strength of the Helena Club. R:der has been tossed about consid erably in his short baseball career. He played with Pendleton in 1912 when Garrett was manager of that team. After the season he had a tryout with Nick Williams but he failed to please and started the season with Pendleton the next Spring. He was later sold to the White Box and after a short trial shipped to the Lincoln Club for season ing He was called In and again turned back to Lincoln, but. failed to report. The sale to Helena was the outcome. Jess expects stil to get soma battery material from Nick Williams or Walter McCredie. One of his best bets at pres ent is "Chubby" Arthur, the ex-Jefferson High School star, who has pitched several good innings for the Helena Club. Jess' lineup will not be a known quantity for another two weeks. He still has the crowd of bushers with him daily, and until the series with Nick Williams is over Garrett will not do much pruning. ... Dr. Selchi Oka. managing the Mikado Club baseball team of this city, re ceived further assurance yesterday that the Keio University baseball team of Japan would be here April 12. Grad uate Manager Wilcox, of Stanford Uni versity, is handling the schedule for the Kelo University. The games are mainly against college nines and the local game will be the only one of the schedule In which the Keio men play a team of their own countrymen. ... The Mikado Club of Portland is look ing for a game next Sunday. The Japanese played Helena at Vaughn street last Sunday. and. though trimmed, showed wonderful agility. The manner in which the boys have picked up the game is remarkable. The club can be addressed in care of the sporting department of The Oregonlan. EUGENE AFTER VOTERS EXTlirSIASTIC RKPIBI.IC.WS HOPE TO DOUBLE registration. 01 C. TRIMS BAKER Tri-State Team Goes Down 4-3, in Game at Corvallis. CONTEST GOES 7 INNINGS Wallace MrCamaat. of Portland, takes Scathing Attack an Wilson and West. EUGENE, Or.. April 1. (SpeciaL) Claiming a Republican majority of 2 to 1 in Une County, SOU enthusiastic Eu gene Republicans set on foot tonight a campaign oi insure the registration of 16,000 vofc-rs in Lane County, thus doubling ".he present registration. A permanent organization was perfected and, although scarcely a Republican candidate for the primaries was men tioned, the speakers heaped scorn and ridicule upon the Democratic Adminis tration, both State and National. Wallace McCamant. of Portland, at tacked President Wilson. personally and politically, declaring his foreign policy as unsound, his Mexican policy as uncertain and dangerous, and his at titude on the tolls ridiculously incon sistent. "Wilson's Administration is open to very grave and very Just criticism." de clared McCamant. "It is seriosuly wrong. He announced that It was up to the Mexicans to run their own af fairs, and yet. in the very next breath, he Is dictating their policies and telling us that Huerta must be eliminated. "West is a little man, rattling around In a very big place. He is utterly unfit for the position, and the " party that elected him must be held responsible for his antics. M'nnie Washburn, woman suffrage leader In Lane County at the 1912 elec tion, refuted the charge that women are not showing an interest In the ballot. She declared that the women have not fully realized the powers within their grasp, that everything cannot be done at once, and that the registration In Lane County this year will show a re marketable percentage of women.

(SpeciaL) Coach Clarke's team this afternoon de feated the Baker City club of the Trl State League in the first of two bastily arranged games to be played here. The score was 4 to 3 at the end of the seventh inning, when time was called because of rain. Captain Ben Culver heaved for the Assies and behaved well, striking out six men and keeping the seven hits well separated. In the sixth Inning, Akin, right fielder for the Baker club, nicked Culver for a screaming poke to center, which resulted in a round trip with a man In front of him. The other tally of the visitors was hung up in the second on hits by French and McDonald. The Aggies scored three runs in the second frame. A two-bagger by Robbins and three bob bles in a row by the Eastern Orego nians sent Robbins, Morgan and Wei ler across the rubber. The fourth and what proved to be the winning run was chalked up by Fryer in the third, who was safe on McLin's error, went to second on Seibert's single and reached third on an infield hit by Loof, scoring when Robbins went out. Baker used two pitchers. Meile and Darling. Mclle started well, fanning the first three men up. but weakened in the second and was relieved at the end of the fifth. Darling, a southpaw, had the situation well in hand througn out his two innings. The teams play again tomorrow, weather permitting.
