Fred Gilbert Trophy Tournament Among Those Shifted. Changes have been made in the scheduled tournaments to be held at the Portland Gun Club grounds in the next ten weeks. The Fred Gilbert trophy shoot, which originally was slated for March 7, has been postponed until a week or two later. The shoot for the H. R. Everding watch, which had been set for May 2, has been put aside because of the fact that the Oregon state tourney will be held at the Jenne Station traps April 26 and 27, and it was thought that the two events should not come so close to gether. President Everding at present is at W'ilhoit. Or., and will not return until some time next - week.- An -angler's tourney has been scheduled for March 28, at which time all the prizes will be donated by President Everding.

PORTLAND PICKLE Murray Out With Bad Eye Makes Catchers Scarce. ABSCESS MEANS VACATION AI Bloom, Portland Semi-Profes- sional, to Get Tryout With Aber deen Club In Northwestern League Tingling Painter. Portland didn't have to wait for Charles Horse to declare a war zone around its Coast League champs. W. W. McCredie received word from Nephew Walter yesterday that Dan Murray, second-string backstop, is laid up in a San Francisco hospital suffer ing with an abscess under one eye. and will not be able to play with the Beavers for two or three months if at all this season. Murray was counted upon as alter nate with Gus Fisher, and his incapaci tatlon leaves the Portland club in a sad Dickie. Manager Mack sold big Brene gan to Spokane a few weens ago, ana the only other receiver in view is a semi-professional kid named wianer, whose home is in Los Angeles. "We'll have to go out and buy an other catcher, I guess," said Judge Mc Credie. after reading Walt Mack s let ter. "It's tough on Murray and also tough on us at this late date. Walter talked with Murray's physician while in San Francisco, and he said Murray would be unable to use his bad eye for a ormnlA of months. Murray has been with tne .romana Northwest League club for two years anrf is a highly capable young receiver. His absence from camp at Tesno next week will work a hardship upon the pitchers, too. Mack has 11 flingers on the string, and it will require about four or five backstops to get a squao. of this proportion in good trim. w w.

((C EATTIjB m l .1 1 jAMr,D ib w. young man who deserves little consideration from the sporting public James drew $2400 from the Boston Braves in 1913 and had a bad season. He got a $600 rise in 1914 despite his mediocre showing and was boosted to $4000 in midseason because he was do ing so well, and he signed a three-year contract. James also arew jouu world's series money and about $1200 on the post-season tour. Now he de mands $6000 a year or he will not play. James is willing to let Gaffney disre gard his contract by paying more money, but what a howl -would go up should Gaffney disregard the contract and chop his salary. Shades of the late Jesse!

Along with JO others, Harmon is a candidate for the Washington State College coaching. Dr. G. J. Sweetland, Jr., former Willamette athletic director, is said to be in a re ceptive mood. Sweetland turned out some wonderful teams at Willamette with limited material. Invariably Wil lamette gave Oregon and the Oregon Aggies stiff grappling. Four years ago the Methodists held the Oregon Aggies to a sensational 5-3 score at Corvallis; came back the next year to a 10-0 score with Oregon at Eugene, and if you want to start a row ask Hugo Bezdek what happened at Salem in 1913. The husky Oregon eleven invaded the state capital ex pecting an easy time so easy, in fact, that Bezdek went' on a spying expedi tion to Seattle and left orders for the second team to start the game. Well, to make a short story as brief as pos sible, Willamette trimmed Oregon 6-3 and won the state championship. Last year Dr. Sweetland accepted the coaching at Hobart College, Geneva, N. Y., and wow! what a slaughter! Oregon defeated Willamette something like 64-0 and the Aggies slipped the Wesleyans a 61-0 package or there bouts.

League to Begin Season Four Days Before Rivals. DATE CHOSEN IS APRIL 10 Fight Against Transferrins Team From Kansas City to Newark De lays . Making or Schedule. Rule Changes Trged. BUFFALO, N. Y., Feb. 26. The se lection of April 10 as the opening date of the Federal League's playing sea son, four days In advance of the first games in tne other major baseball leagues, and tne recommendation by the umpires of some minor changes in the playing rules, marked the opening sessions of the leagues annual scnea ule meeting here today. Although the injunction proceedings Instituted at Chicago against the trans r of th Kansas City franchise to Newark prevented the formal adoption of a schedule, the magnates went ahead with their work, with the expectation that Newark would be tho eighth city In the circuit. The tentative schedule nrovides for Newark to open at Balti more, Buffalo at Brooklyn and In dianapolis and Chicago at home, with St. Louis and FIttsourg as tne contenu insr teams. D. J. Haff, A. F. Gordon and Arthur C. Black, representing the Kansas City owners, registered at the hotel where the league meetings were held, Dut aid not seek recognition at .the sessions.

"It looks like a pretty favorable sign," said President James A, Gil more, "when Federal clubs begin fight ine for franchises. In fact. Federal af fairs all around look mighty good to me for 1915." The new rules recommended by the umpires provide for a fine of $200 and 30 days' suspension for pitchers using the emery ball and would rule out or play a ball batted foul that strikes any part of the grandstand or passes into foul territory beyond first or third bases, the latter rule being designed to prevent delay.
