BAKER DRUBS BRAVES WITH INTRODUCTORY TEN-DAYS' OFFER By the Morgan Building Tailoring Co. Ontcome of Minor Events May Change Entire Face of Contest as Both or Fighting Teams Are in First-Glass Trim for Friday. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene, May 6. (Special.) With neither team having any apparent advantage on "dope," Friday's dual track meet here between the University of Oregon and the Oregon Agricultural College should be one of the closest in the history of athletic competition between the two colleges. Oregon seers figure that the outcome hinges on two or three events. For this reason, supporters of the lemon yellow are asking themselves whether Stewart's strong aggregation will accomplish their long-cherished hope of encompassing the defeat of Oregon and "Bill" Hayward. Mean while, Hayward is as non-committal as ever, and whether he foresees suc cess or fears disaster, he preserves as much stoicism as if he were condition, ing his men for a Fourth of July ath letic programme instead of the most important meet of the season. Each college will be deprived of a distance star of the first magnitude Friday. Guy Hobgood, who broke the Coast Record for two miles at Berkeley Saturday, is ineligible to run for Ore gon Agricultural College because he at tended another college last year. To even up matters, Walter McClure, Olympic star, who showed he is not yet. ready to be Oslerlzed by running the mile against Multnomah two weeks ago in 4:20, will also be barred. Mc Clure has completed his allotted" four years for the university. Payne Has Good Chance. In Saturday's meet. Oregon will be represented by several men who will be undergoing their conference baptism. One of these is Payne, the Athena freshman who was at Hobgood's heels in the record-breaking two miles at Berkeley Saturday. With Hobgood out of the way, he should tal:e the event against the Aggies, with an excellent chance to double in the mile. Another of the tyros is Loucks, a sprinter who rises to the unusual height of 6 feet 4 inches, and who never put on the spikes until he turned out this Spring. In the Multnomah meet, in which he virtually made his debut, he covered the quarter in 60 2-5 seconds, and this mark installs him as favorite for Friday's 440. Stewart's fast sprinting trio. Baker. Kadderly and Anderson, look like a hard combination to beat, but univer sity supporters are pinning their faith to Tommy Boylen, the Titian blonde who has been converted by Hayward from a, miler into a sprinter. The way the Eastern Oregon lad headed Cohn, of Multnomah, in both dashes has led the fans to look for competition in these events. A-1 Hurdlers Lacking-. Neither college has any A-l hurdlers, and these are among the events which hang in the balance. Parsons and Stul ler, both of Oregon, should take their events, the broad and high jumps, respectively. Fee of Oregon has a chance in the vault, being good for better than 11 feet any time, but he may not be able to compete. Big Sam Cook should win the shot put and place in the discus and javelin. Telford should . take the latter event on his showing against the O. A. C. freshmen Saturday, when he threw the Hellenic weapon over 171 feet. Heiden. reich is dangerous with the discus When he is going right, but the Aggie freshman. Cole, is conceded this event. Only one regular on the Oregon team is decrepit. . He Is Fee. the best all around track man in Hayward's string. He is barely able to walk on account of a sprained ankle. Fee was expected to take the 120-hurdles and pole-vault and pick up points elsewhere. Cooling the Sport Tortillas DICKEY BAYLESS, Venice captain, thoroughly dissected the Portland Coasters to a Los Angeles newspaper man recently, and we pluck this gem from off the operating table: "No team need be skeered of the Beavers." "Probably McCredie wouldn't admit It,'- said Bayles, "but I think the loss of Lindsay hurt the club. This chap always was clouting the ball around .300, and was valuable even if out of many games." We have no quarrel to pick with Lindsay a. gentlemanly fellow and a good ball player when in condition, but Dickey's diagnosis does a wig wag in the neighborhood of our lower left rib. Why, by all that's mighty, did Venice waive on Lindsay about eight weeks ago, if he was considered such a corner-stone of the championship squad of the league? Infielders of Class AA caliber are worth $2000, and yet Hogan could have had him for the waiver price of $750. With Venice in dire need of just such a star for the Tiger infield. Dickey ought to get adjacent to himself before he pulls boomerang stuff on his boss ... Tacoma may not be much as a base ball center, but, according to Larry Madden's views, they have at least one glorified pounder in Biddy Bishop's burg.

Judging from box scores, C'n'g'm of ictoria is not making a very impres sive debut in the Northwest League. This C n g m is not the PorUand Cun ningham who drew a release last year thick is employed in a San Francisco bank. . Strange as it may sound, Uncle Sam profits extensively from boxing. Willie Ritchie paid in something like $200 on his income for 1913, and Leach Cross came across with an even larger check Now, we have Ad Wolgast going the other lightweights one better. Ad lias turned in a check for $229, the tax en $45,000. Wolgast thus proves that it is not always the champion who makes the most money. In his statement Wolgast admitted having earned $76,000. but 40 per cent of this he deducted for xniTi. If it accomplishes little else, the new income law win prove a bane to those of us who tire of hearing the boxers brag of their earnings. Recent- ... w4u juiica look ft I inr ll T J o n n n v Kilbane, remarking that Kilbane hadn't taken a healthy slice of the money melon since winning his title February 22. 1912. To refute this.

Walla Walla took the game from Pendleton, 15 to 8, but the victory was nothing to boast of, being poorly field ed on both sides. At Baker the Kubs got seven runs in the third inning and came back in the sixth for four more. The first four came on four walks, a battery foozle and four hits, including two two-bag gers by Lind and Berry. In the sixth two two-baggers, three singles and an error added four.

There were eight two-baggers, a triple by Johnson and a nuke home run by Naughton, with one man ahead. The ball dropped behind third base and was lost in the grass, while Naughton kept going.

BOXING BRIEFS AL M'COT lost eight battles in a row before he delivered his lucky punch against Chip's jaw. So says Dan Mor gan, well-known New York light Im presario. If true. McCoy Is In a genu ine fix. He must fight to eat, but if. he fights he stands an excellent chance' of being walloped again. . A peculiar fight took place In Paris recently between George Mitchell. Eng land's gentleman boxer, and Georges Carpentier. Mitchell, who corresponds to our Antnony Biddle, is 6 feet 3 inches tall and weighs 100 pounds. He was present when Carpentier chucked Bomb Wells under the table so uncere moniously. Immediately afterwards Mitchell agreed to bet $5000 that he could last one round with Carpentier. The match was arranged in private be fore 500 club guests, and when the referee said go Carpentier bounded across the ring and floored Mitchell in 15 seconds. Carpentier renewed the savage assault when Mitchell arose, and on the fourth knockout put him out for keeps in less than three min utes. Jimmy Clabby has arrived in Aus tralia, and it behooves all policemen to jump oft the island. Who can blame Willie Ritchie for not wanting to train for 20-round bouts when he can make just as much money in 10? When he fought Wolgast at Milwaukee his share was around $16, 000, and it was considerably less for the 20 rounds with Tommy Murphy. - Bob Fitzsimraons' son declares he will never fight, which shows that he has the real championship instincts.

WASHIXGTOX FEARPCI OK MEET Oregon's Chances for Track Honors Held Good by Foes. UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON, Se attle. May 6. (Special.) The Univer sity of Washington track teams enter tain little hope of defeating the Uni versity of Oregon in the dual meet scheduled to be held on the Washing ton field a week from Saturday. . So far as sprinters to meet the Ore gon runners is concerned. Washington will be helpless, having no man who can make a creditable showing in the 100, the 220 or the 440-yard dashes. In the distances Washington is strong, but McClelland's poor showing in the Pacific Coast meet last Saturday at San Francisco brings down the hopes in that event. The local track fans are keen for the match between Clyde. Washington's miler, and McClure of OreRoo. That Washington will be outclassed In the hurdles. Is now quite certain. If Wash ington .wins. It must do it on the show ing in the weights and jumps. JACK JOH.VSOX RECOGNIZED French Boxing Federation Says Xe- gro Is Heavyweight Champion. PARIS, May 6.
