Chairman Karmar. of the boxing
committee, has a good list of talent,
but he" decided that it would be better
to give the fans one good programme
than two short ones. Accordingly he
chose the one night only.
The card will be staged in the Mult
nomah gymnasium and will start at 8
P. M., thus insuring complettion at a
reasonable hour. The Beaver. Haw
thorne. Woodlawn and Armory Ath
letic clubs have entered no boxers,
which leaves the meet to Multnomah
and the Newsboys' Club. The latter
will have a 115-pounder named Mascott
besides Abe Gordon, the 110-pounder.

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withdrawn upon .the date fixed for the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.

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.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 1. The first

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

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. Score:

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.

Claiming a Republican majority of 2 to

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,

"West is a little man, rattling around

M'nnie Washburn, woman suffrage
leader In Lane County at the 1912 elec

not showing an interest In the ballot.
She declared that the women have not
fully realized the powers within their

marketable percentage of women.

LEGE. Corvallis. April 1. (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,
