Such a range ought to satisfy anybody with sportive in clinations from the two-candle to the 500-watt Mazda, Two of these already have been swept off the table.

Mother's day observances serve to remind that there is nothing sadder today than the severity and. intoler ance of children toward their parents. The best children are those who can enter Into the trivial pursuits of their parents, humor them and make allowances. They delight in listening to elderly prattle. They have the satisfaction of seeing bright old faces, and of hearing light old footsteps echoing through the house.

While first plac men, without second and third point winners, can not win a dual meet against op ponents well for tified with run ner-ups, the con ference gives them more chance. It dis tributes the sec onds and thirds over a greater radius. The Oregon Aggies have five men who are looked upon as winners by the Aggie contingent. They are: Baker, 100-yard man: Keynoios, hlaf-miler; Cole, discus; Rasmussen, hurdles, and Smith. Dole vault. Baker holds ,a Northwest record of 9 4-5. In practice sessions he has done that consistently and, though troubled with an ankle, is said to be in trim. Revnolda has made 1:58 2-6 for the half mile. That is record time. llobgood recently went to Berkeley, where he cleaned up the meet against fttars of the Pacific from the Canadian border to Mexico. His time for the two-mfle was 9:37 1-6, a new record for the Pacific Coast. However, Hob good is not eligible for conference com petition. Cole, a discus man, has a state rec ord of 129 feet 11 inches, 13 Inches from the Pacific Coast record. In the Washington State-Idaho meet Satur day, Phillips tossed the disc 123 feet. Rasmussen, the Aggie hurdler, has made 15 3-5 in the hurdles and Smith, the pole vaulter, has broken the Cor vallla record by going 11 feet 6 inches.

No games played yesterday; traveling day. Dave Bancroft's injection into the Portland Coast box scores, the addition of Pitchers Pape and Reiger and of two young catchers, Brennigan and still another backstopper, Xantz. or Toledo. ought to start the McCredleites back up the percentage ladder. Portland has now lost three series, won one and tied two so some new blood is imperative. Tantz was purchased yesterday from the Cleveland American Association club. Brennigan. the youngster secured in the reverse waivers from Pittsburg, is said to be dissatisfied with coming West. However, Mack expects him to be on hand soon.

Karl King today negotiated with the North Yakima club, of the Western Tri-State League, the most important trade of the year, when he turned over to the Braves Tate Berry, who only two weeks ago was released by them to Baker, in exchange for Fuller, lead ing base-runner and first baseman of the league, who is a fair hitter. Berry is the leading hitter of the league. He batted .289 when with North Takima. but was in a slump when they let him go. In the two weeks Baker has had him he has batted 399, and has done some spectacular work in the outfield. He was obtained as an infielder, but failed to show well there. Many Baker fans are doubtin the wisdom of letting a .400 slugge go to a rival club. JURY INQUIRY IS ASKED HS GOVERNOR WEST ACTS IN CASE OF FBIARS CLUB AT M1LWAIKIE.

One of the men. he said, was Richard Er bert. alias Leopold Werter. He said the women were called "Helen" and Maud." In reply to a letter from Attorney- General Crawford, Governor West said in part: "I am inclosing you herewith a copy of a statement made by Richard Er bert. alias Leopold Werter. one of a gang of safeblowers recently captured and now in the ccunty jail at Port land. The inclosed statement shows that the so-called lodge or club is not as particular as to the character of its members as its officers would contend, and that its being without a liquor li cense did not interfere with its dis posing of liquor when the opportunity to do bo presented itself."
