DOPESTERS BUSY WITH BIG MEET Johnny Bender Looks for All Colleges Except Whitman to Be Contenders. UPSETS ARE FELT ALREADY! With Last Year's Record Washington State Looms Up Vntil Idaho Conies Along and Adminls- ters Unexpected Defeat. BY JOHN" Tt. BENDER.. r(rctor of athletics, Waahinirtnn State CoIlire. under whose auspices 1314 Xorth Wfiem intercollegiate track meet will be new May l'3. ) PULLMAN. TVasTi.. May 14. (Spe rial.) Already the dopesters are busy trying- to figure a winner In the 1914 Northwest conference track and field championships. Personally, f look for many surprises, with all of the col leges except Whitman Bharp contend ers. Already this year some of the dope lias been i-racked. Washington State looked strong for the title, in view of her second ranking to Washington last year, ana with the addition of Crane. but the unexpected happened. In the recent aual meet Idaho defeated us, 67 to 54, and Idaho must be conceded a good chance at the Northwest title. However, in this meet the Washing ton State sprinting star, Cooke, was Blitrhtly off color as a result of his hard trip to and from the Berkeley -al.. Coast championships. Another test may change the aspect. One thing sure, the meet this year will be closer than it has ever been before, and I am looking for many con ference records to go by the board. In view or tne fact that such good rec eras were made at Berkeley on a small oval, whereas Washington State has track that will permit the quarter to ne run in lanes and the hurdles and 2L'n on a fast strf.isrhtawav. The conference this year surely will produce a great sprinter in Morrison, of Idaho, and I am looking for him to win not only the 100 but also the 220 inasmuch as his time in-the dual meet with Washington State in the 100 was 9 4-5 and in the 220, 22 flat, as against .the time of Boylen of Oregon and Baker of Oregon Aggies, good men. 10 1-5 and riat. Phillips, also of Idaho, is bound to win tne Javelin, as he did last v-ear- although it is doubtful If he will come up to ins conference record of 1S6 feet Phillips complains of a sore arm. Phil lips is also good for 41 feet in the shot and has repeatedly thrown the discus l-'&.f teet in practice. The polevault should go to Captain Williams, of Washington. Williams and Stuller. of Oregon, must also be con ceded a chance in the high Jump, as against Crane, of Washington State. Crane being the favorite. The high hurdles look like Rasmus Ben, of the Oregon Aggies; McCroskey, of Washington State, and Hoover, of Whitman, with Lockhart, of Idaho, a dark horse. The low hurdles, McCros key, Lockhart and Hamstreet, the lat ter of Oregon. The 440 looks between Dingle, of Idaho: Dietz, of Washington State, and Loucks, of Oregon. In the 880, Rey nolds, of the Oregon Aggies, seems to be in a. class by himself, with Nelson, of Oregon; Clyde, of Washington, and Dingle, of Idaho, in order. In the mile Clyde, of Washington, will win, witb Payne, of Oregon, and Dewey, of the Oregon Aggies, in order. In the two-mile. Payne, of Oregon; Clyde, of Washington, and McClelland, . of Washington, and Dewey, of the Ore gon Aggies, should show to advantage. In the broad Jump, Johnny Parsons, of Oregon, and Walters, of Washing ton, will fight it out, with Lockhart. of Idaho, third. In the discus, Cole, of Corvallis; Ed munds, of Washington, and Phillips, of Idaho, are the best. In the shotput. Cook, of Oregon; Phillips, of Idaho, and Edmunds, of Washington, look well matched. When it comes to the relay. Wash ington State and Idaho look to be the best. Cooling the Sport Tortillas WHEN Walt McCredie discovered that his young backstop recruit, Brenegan, batted left-handed, bet there oto-o ouuia i&ii roaring aown ios An gelesward. Both Fisher and Haworth are portsiders, and Mac's chief reason for grabbing the Plttsburger was be cause all the earljr, dope had him labeled a right-handed swinger. Gunboat Smith says his stage work made him the boxer he is. Wherefore we are of the opinion that Gunboat ought to cut out his stage work Imme diately. When Boston sent Sweeney to the Chicago Cubs in exchange for Evers. they must have been thinking of the new slant at Horace Greeley's advice: "Go West. Young Man, and Slow Up With the Company." . . The new type of cup defender Is said to be available for cruising purposes, but the plans In the Scientific Amer ican do not show it. Line sketches fail to reveal accommodations for an ice chest. Boston has farmed Willard Meikle to Rochester. Dugdale owes a vote of thanks to the man who foisted Meikle off onto Boston. He is the ex-Seal pitcher, who double-crossed Dug last Fall after Dug had protected his rep utation by recording his suspension as due to a sore arm instead of to intem perance. Meikle turned around and forced Seattle to pay him full salary. The trouble with the Federal League parks Is that the fences are too close to the plate, but, the trouble with the Portland Coast League club is that the home plate is too far from the home plate. Not enough of the boys are get ting around the bases. The week that begins on Monday will be by far the biggest of the year In golf. Travers. Ouimet, Evans, Hale. Inslee. Lockwood. Herreshoff and the lesser lights among the Americans now in England will begin their battle for the British amateur championship Monday at Sandwich, the tournament lasting all week. Hilton, Ball, Lord Hope and Ivo Whitton. of Australia, are expected to provide the stlnTest opposition for Uncle Sam's boys. Against the tremendous field the Americans will have to play at their very best to capture the laurels. But it must be remembered that only one man out of that army will win the championship title, and it might as well be han Hamerlcan as han Heng llshman or han Haustrallan. While that gallant little band la busy across the water, things will be hap--penlng here, too.

TINY LEONARD ON AGAIN FOR THIRD TIME KICK WILLIAMS ENGAGES WALLA WALLAS. After Second Rejection of Option, Pitcher Is Released and WU1 Be Uaed by Colts. Once upon a time a section foreman named Finnegan thus brusquely re ported a train mishap: "Off agin; on agin; gone agin. Finnegan." Were Nick Williams boss ine a ennv tt Greeks instead of directing the maneu vers of the Portland Northwest ball ciuo, ne mignt aptly carbon that storv and apply it to the strange peregrina- nuns ot xiny jLonard, his 225-pound flinger. Twice within a fortnight th former Walla Walla pitcher has drawn re leases from the Colts, and now for the tnira time Manager w illiams has signed him up. Here's the rub. Williams had Leonard for trial under a 300 option expiring Mav 1. On that date he turned him back, but, upon procuring an extension of the option until May 15, granted Leonard another trial. Again the 225-pounder fell down, with the result that Nick handed him his release "Wednesday, two days be fore the lapse of the option. That put Leonard back under the WTalla Walla wing. Evidently the Western Trl-Staters didn't have a place for him, however, for yesterday's mail orougnt to tne Leonard domicile an envelope containing his outright re lease Dy walla Walla. So. when Leonard delivered himself, unincumbered, to his former boss, Wil liams opened the paternal arms and welcomed him back into the Colt cor ral. This afternoon the ex-St. Mary's College right-hander will get his final chance with the locals. If he fails to stem the savage assaults of the Brit ish Columbia tail-enders. .doubtless more history will be tacked to the list of Leonard wanderlusting. Siuslaw Commercial Club Klecte.

VICTORIA GETS BALL Fielder Jones Says Island City to See Games. PRESIDENT'S VISIT SHORT Meeting of Northwestern League Di. rectors Probably Will Be . Held In North in Near Future, 'nays Head. VICTORIA, B. C May 14. (Special.) "You can say that baseball will be played here next week as per sched ule." said President Fielder Jones, of the Northwestern League, in answer to a question put yesterday. The league president was in Victoria only for a few hours. .While here lie passed most of his time closeted with Koss Humber, of the local club, and the latter's lawyers. He stated after wards that he could make no announce ment as to what had been done other than he expected the situation to come to a head in a few days now. "The game will be carried on here until then at least," he explained, "and the probability is that Victoria will remain in the league." Asked whether the league could bring Messrs. Wattelet and McConnoll, former owners, to book for the deplor able state of affairs, Mr. Jones said he could not see how, as it was up to Mr. Humber to settle with them. He mentioned that a meeting of the league directors probably would be held here in the near future. BACKSTOP RULE IS DUE PRESIDENT B.WM ANNOUNCES CHAKGE COMES SATURDAY. New Regulation Means That en Passed Ball or Wild Pitch Player Mast Make His Base. SAN FRANCISCO. May 14. (Special.) President Baum made official an nouncement tonight that dating from Saturday there would be enforced in the Pacific Coast League a new back stop rule relative to wild pitches and passed balls. The old 90-foot backstop rule will be abandoned. Instead will be a special rule of the ball being in play at all times. When the Seals move to Ewing Field Satur day there will be approximately a 70 foot backstop behind every plate on the circuit. The new rule means that on a passed ball or wild pitch a player must take his base or take as many additional bases as he can. It will be possible to throw out a player on a ball hitting the backstop or a player racing from first to third. At present a runner has been entitled only to one base when a ball hits the bckstop. President Baum says that practically every league In the country has abandoned the 90-foot rule, for the new style adds more in terest and ginger to a game. Hnnt Club to Plan Spring: Meet.
