If the weather shark doesn't quit rndlng rain there'll be no baseball at all after .1 while. Yesterday it rained and drizzled again aril day lonicr and the only game that got any play at a.11 vs stud or perhaps it was pe noehle. Although the barometer still reads upside down there may be a game this . afternoon ai 3 o'clock ladles' day and if so "Pole" Coveleskie will start for Portland against "Spider" Baurn. "I don't think we have had bo much rain in May on the Coast since away Oredle yesterday. "I remember coming : over from Vancouver to Buckman K"ield five successive days with the same" rain check. Finally the team went broke and quit." H. IT. Timmen, owner of the Sells Floto circus, told the writer in Port- land early In the week that his show had encountered 22 days of rain In 26 daB In California, And, on the other four day.. the sky was oercast and cloudy and few turned out for the circus. "I would never have believed that money could be so tight In California." said Mr. Tammen. "This rainy weather and the business depression is surely hurtlnsr amusement enterprises. The exposition at Kan Francisco is simply totterring along, trying to keep afloat. It is the blgxes world's fair attendance fliwer this country has ever seen. Our show is O. K., but we couldn't get the money there." And the iSells-Floto show this year is high-class hand-painted zebras and all. And so are some of the hand- - painted athletes drawing pay from Portland and ijan Francisco and other ' Coast ball clubs. But they are only - outing the magnates out of home and pocketbook loafing around waiting for the rain to cease. Fortunately, the Pacific Coast League is in fairly good financial shape this year better than some we might men tion. The Northwestern League, 'tis said, is facing a dilemma, mainly be cause the Seattle club is down in the cellar and is not drawing flies. With out Seattle the Northwestern League is like a pair of baggy trousers with out anybody inside to steer them about the landscape. Charley Schmutz former Northwest ern League pitcher who was shunted over to Newark by Brooklyn writes that the International League is in the same dire straits. Time was before the Feds came in when the In ternational could boast of being the strongest minor circuit in the country. Now according to JSchmutz it will have to make medicine to keep eome of the teams from "blowing" about the Fourth of July. Elmer Rieger, ex-Beavor, caught on with Venice because Manager "Doc" White thought he would prove more valuable at an initial cost of $0 than rtoy Mitchell at $1500. Mitchell was purchased from the St. Louis Browns on the condition that Venice pay $1500 June 1 if he made good. Well. Mitchell didn't make good, and so Venice turned him back, saved this barrel of coin and Klmer slid Into the. vacancy. He pitched - and lost his first start yesterday. With Martinonl on the Oakland pitching corps, we're due for another siege of that "revenge" stuff that used to float about in the atmosphere when Krue ger and Lober were trying to show each other up following their famous trade a couple of years ago. When Buddy Ryan broke up Sunday's Seal-Salt Lake game with a homeV In extra innings. Umpire "Red" Held says the crowd swarmed out onto the play ing field and tried to grab Buddy be fore he could complete the circumnavi . 'gation of tho bases. "Wouldi you have called him out If , the crowd had Interfered with him, as prescribed in the coaching rules?" was apked. !. "No," replied Hold. "If Blanken hip hadn't been on the job and kept the crowd hack I would have called time and cleared the field and given Buddy plenty of time. Of course Harry Wolverton probably would have put up a roar and demanded that I call Ryan out. but that wouldn't be reasonable. When a man hits the hall out'of the lot "lie is entitled to a home run even If he breaks a leg and never gets as far as second, base."

Bill Absteln furnishes another ex ample of the ballplayer who kills the goose with the gilded egg habit. Ab stein held Los Angeles up for a big sal ary raise last Winter and now he lias been released. The ex-Pirate got away poorly and the Angels could not afford to keep him. Metzger will be field cap tain from thiB on, and Abstein's place at first will be taken by Beatty, of the Seattle club. Beatty is hitting .215 for Seattle. He has made nine two-baggers and one home run. Just how, in the name of common sense. Dugdale could let him go if he were any good is a mystery. But .215 Isn't much better than Abstein's mark, so we give it up. ItKICER, BATTED ITiOM MOUND Oaks Defeat Venice In Game l'ea tured by Long Hitting. OAKLAND, Cat, May 27.

CHANGE FORCED BY RAIN AH Regular Events to Be Put on Kx cept 100-Yard Dah, 8 5-Yard Sprint Being Substitnted. Galaxy of Stars Gather. OREGON AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. Corvallis. May 27. (Special.) Because of Inclement weather the coaches of the various track and field teams now In Corvallis late this afternoon decided that it will be useless to try to hold the annual Northwest conference track and field meet on the outdoor track, with the result that all the events will be staged in the Armory, starting at 2:30 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. This will throw a different light on the result of the gathering and all previous predictions have been upset. Every event except the century will be run off as scheduled, and even the javelin throw will be staged indoors. The Armory track is 220 yards. Be cause no available 100-yard dash straightaway was possible the coaches of the teams decided to change the event to an 85-yard match. Orefron Team Only Is Absent. Already the teams of Washington State College, University of Washing ton, University of Idaho, Whitman College and the Oregon Agricultural College are on hand, and Coach Bill Hayward. of the University of Oregon, telephoned to Coach Dr. E. J. Stewart. of the locals, that he would be on hand bright and early tomorrow morning. The Oregon mentor has not definitely made up his mind Just which athletes will wear the lemon and yellow at the annual conference meet- Never before has such a galaxy of stars been brought together among colleges on the Pacific Coast. Interest tonight Is running high now because of the changre made in using the Indoor track In the Armory instead of the outdoor circle. At first it was thought that it would be necessary to cancel everything until Saturday or early next week, but Coach Stewart announced that he would put the Armory In con dition and have it ready by 2:30 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Track Put in Shape. A large gang of students have been put to work raking and rolling the enclosure. The lanes have been marked and will be lined out by early tomor row morning. All the athletes here have been working out for the past two days getting used to the surround ings, and Just as close finishes are expected indoors as were expected for the outside meeting. Several delegations are expected to arrive from Portland on the train that leaves the Oregon metropolis at 8:20 o'clock tomorrow morning. Efforts have been made to have the largest attendance ever known to a conference track and field meet on hand to wit ness the banner affair. This is the first time an Oregon school has un dertaken to finance the annual gath ering. . Close Matches Expected. The feature events of the day are expected to be between Smith, Hob Rood and Payne, in the two-mile: Clyde, Huggins, Reynolds and Dewey, in the mile; Nelson. Loucke. Clyde, JIassey. Reynolds and Coleman, in the 880-yard run; Edmunds and Cole, in the discus, and Loucke and Kadderly, in the quar ter mile. Coach Bill Hayward an nounced that he was going, to use Loucke in the half-mile event The first race will be started promptly at 2:30 o'clock that the vis itors may be able to catch the 6 o'clock train out of here. All the athletes will be honor guests at a dance to morrow night and several interesting affairs have been planned for their entertainment- TRACK MEET IS POSTPONED Portland Interscholastic Track Games to Be Next Week. Rain is responsible for the postpone ment of the annual Portland Interscho lastic track and field meet scheduled for this afternoon on Multnomah Field. After inspecting the track yesterday it was thought advisable to place the an nual gathering on Friday of next week, and with this In mind H. H. Herdman. secretary of the league, notified all the schools of the change. Now if the weather will clear up for the next week the athletes will be able to get into condition. Not once since the state meet at Eugene, when Colum bia University won with 38 points, have the local athletes had a chance to get out and run around. All the coaches have been able to do is to hold indoor sessions and talks. Unless tho rain halts for a week or so the 1915 baseball campaign will be left In a "muddle." At present three teams are tied for second place, with the Portland Academy first with two wins and no defeats. As yet the ivlvate school has not met the Jefferson, Washington, Lincoln or Columbia teams., bo its record as the real leader of the circuit can be contested. Several games already have been called off, due to the climatic condi tions, and it may be that these contests will have to be left unplayed. as Bchool will soon be completed for the Spring term. Columbia University and Port land Academy are slated to appear In a match next Friday, the same day the track meet will be held. I'Ymtball at Chicago Pays.
