Oca COAST TITLE UNDECIDED Contests Scheduled Jn Medford and Ashland Prevent Delay In Cal ifornia; Oregon Has Slim Northwest Title Chance. 6RKGOX AGRICULTURAL. COLLEGE, Corvallis. Feb. 20.--( Special.) With out doubt the first basketball cham pionship laurels in the new Coast con ference will be divided between the Pretron Agricultural College and the University of California. It was an nounced tonlRht that permission had not been pranted the AKBle team to remain in Berkeley to piay off the tie now existing between the teams, on Monday nisht. Games scheduled with the hifsh schools in Medford and Ash land for Monday and Tuesday nights are sriven as the reason for not per mitting the play-off. The new turn of affairs Is Keenly disappointing to the fans here, who look for an Agstie victory In the crucial test, and who look with disfavor on an un decided championship. Press dispatches announcing the suc cessful whirlwind finish of the Aggies last night after a hard trip and two games on strange courts caused in creased confidence in the team. Strong staying power has marked the team's jrame all season. Comparative scores aid but little. Kaon team has defeated the University nf Woiihinirtnn three out of four games. The most decisive defeat was handed out hv the Aggies. 25 to 9. in tne a "le-r-nlifornia. series at Corvallis each team won by about the same score, while the Berkeley series was close and indecisive. To win in the Northwest eerles the Aggies must win from Washington State College this week and the final result will then depend on the ability of Whitman to break even with Boh ler's men in a four-game series. BEHRELEV MAY COME OItTI Californians Do Xot Kesent Kefusal or Aggies to Play ow. BERKELEY, Cal., Feb. 20. (Special.) There, is no unpleasantness at Berke. ley because of the refusal of the Ore gon Agricultural College- faculty to al low the basketball team to remain to play off the tie. Captain Norton, of the Blue and Gold, speaking- for hia team, said that while it would have been more convenient for the game to have taken plane here at the present time, there is no disposition -to blame the Oregonians. as it is consid ered their schedule is such as not to permit of such a plan. The Aggies left for home this afternoon. Some time this week it will bo de rided whether California will make a trip to Corvallis to determine the championship or whether the North erners will make the journey after the games at present on tap have been dis posed of.

According to Homer Haworth, who was with the Indians the latter part of last season. Kohl should make a good leader. He is an old-time catcher. Haworth says that fans and players have both taken kindly to the new manager. Miller Huggins. manager of the St. Louis Cardinals, will be instructor in a school for amateur baseball man agers to be opened at Cincinnati next "Winter. A school for umpires has also Just been opened there. The date of the field and track meet at Terre Haute.

He said: "Prior to our ownership the Phillies were on the market, and had been ped dled for months. "We bought the club because we believed that it would be ii good Investment. Colonel Thomas K.

"We have a partnership agreement that none of us can sell without the consent of all the others. ' This agree ment runs for four years from January 1. 1916." The New York Polo Grounds will be the scene of the Army-Navy football game next Fall. Philadelphia wanted . the struggle, but unless they build a stadium wi.h a seating capacity equal to that of the Polo Grounds. 0,000, the spectacular contest, which had its origin there, will be lost to the Quaker City forever. There is another city on the fight map. Tony Zil). Youngstown, O., light weight, and Hal Kteart, of Chicago, have been matched for a 10-round bout at Niles. O., on February 28. It will be the first contest in Niles under the new sport commission recently ap pointed in Ohio. Club presidents of the Western League recently definitely decided on a season's schedule of 154 games and turned over the drafting of the sched ule in detail to a committee composed of - K. J. Han Ion. of Sioux City; John Holland, of St. Joseph, and John Sav age, of Topeka. Nearly 30 battery candidates have reported to Captain Labadie, of the 1,'niversity of Michigan baseball squad, for preliminary practice.

UNIVERSITY OF WASHINCTON. Se attle, Feb. 20. (Special.) Dobie ver sus Dictz as a headline attraction for the Fall of 1916 is not such a remote possibility as had been supposed since the board of control at the larger school turned down the State College's request for a game next Fall. The first thing that Uobie asked for fol lowing his return to the Washington fold was a game with the Pullman lads, and Manager Younger has been sitting up nights trying to devise ways by which Pullman, may be included in the schedule. Washington's difficulty is this: Five collegiate games are already sched uled for this year, while iour has been the standard number in the last eight years. Further, where Washington never made but a single trip a season now the team has already two trips on its programme, while a third would mean three foreign tame- in' lour weeks. Pullman would hardly consent to come to the Coast again until Washing ton has played east of the mountains, so the possibility of a game depends on whether Washington can see its way clear to add another trip on the al ready fair-sized schedule. Washington plays Oregon on the latter's home ter ritory, and California in Berkeley. Washington and the Oregon Aggie3 do not meet this year. KAIMKK TO HAVE CLASSY XIXE Lower Col u ni liia Towns Outfitting With New Uniforms. If Rainier, Or., doesn't enter the Inter-City League, it will at least have one of the classiest independent organi zations in the state. The backers have purchased nifty new uniforms. Fol lowing are the players that Manager Harry Morrison plans to have out for the first practice next Sunday: Hughey Mack, Ulrich, 1 urer, I-owler, Kvans, Thompson, Ralph Colvin, Tom O'Dell, Brooks, K. Brough, J. Brough, King and Thomas. Hughey Mack, according to Morrison, will prove valuable at short stop. . Another Columbia River town that is enthusiastic is Cathlamet, Wash. The management there has purchased a new set of untforms. Lindquist, ex Oregon. Aggie star, and Krickson will form the Cathlamet battery. There will be two teams in Astoria, Or., this year. Jess R. Hinman, a sportsman, will handle the Astoria Athletic Club nine, while the Columbia Athletic Club will also be represented. Several important subjects will be discussed at a meeting of the heads o the Inter-City Baseball League called for Friday night in the office of Presi dent Fred N. Bay, 270 Fourth street. Woodburn. Or., wants tn enter into the circuit. It is reported that the mer chants of that place have raised $400 for the game in their city. A delega. tion will be at the meeting and hopes tn close for either the East Side or Sell wood franchise. Woodburn was in the old Tri-City League of several years ago and won the pennant the last year of that organization. Several other towns are desirous of entering. Ernest Taylor, to whom franchise was granted at the last meet ing for a team to be placed in either St. Johns or Kenton, has definitely de cided upon St. Johns. The business men there are rallying to the baseball call and will inclose a park .shortly. Each magnate must post his forfeit Friday night. The directors will defi nitelv decide on Just how many ball players having contracts in organized baseball can play on one team. Presi dent Bay's opinion is that only one should be allowed on each. This would bar anv one team from gathering to eether several experienced men and therebv make a one-team race. New entrants in the league will also be discussed. The schedule committee will be appointed. The Inter-City League teams will play on the Vaughn street grounds on July 2-3-4 and also Decoration day. The season will un doubtedly start March 26 and end Au cust 27. After the meeting, the officials will have a good idea as to just what teams will make up the 1916 Inter-city League. Umpires will also be ap pointed. President Bay has many ap olications. At present the following teams make up the circuit: SL Johns. Lents Mon archs. Montavilla, Gresham, St. Helens, East Side, West Side and the Sellwood Moose. The Inter-City League officials have not as yet received any word from the McMinnville, Or., baseball magnates. McMinnville. in the opinion of many followers of semi-professional balf, is making a serious mistake in staying out of the circuit. In the McMinnville-Salem series last year, McMinnville drew crowds of 2000 persons on a lew occasions, with men like Pleasant P. Wright, Harold B. Evans and Albert Bishop behind the game, a club from McMinnville would be hard to beat, league officials aver. This hustling Valley town may yet be represented in the Inter-City circuit and lovers of semi-professional base ball are hoping that the new league will not be forced to start the season without "Old Mack." m Albany, Or., may not have any base ball team this season, according to a letter received by President Bay, of the Inter-City League, from C. M. Small, who managed the Athletics last year. Small says that last season's work cost him some money and that unless the merchants of Albany come through with a little cash they will have no representation. Small and Tommy Clark, the local boxer, were the battery for Albany last season and they will endeavor to catch on with some inter-city (iuo tnis Spring. Sliedtl Five Loses Two Games. SHEDD. Or..

Billy Mascott. champion 122-pound boxer of the Northwest, received an offer yesterday of $100 with a privilege of 27 M per cent of the gate to box "Tex" Vernon in Aberdeen, Wash., on March 20. It is not likely that he. will accept, however, as he prefers to stay in Portland, where he has several bouts lined up. WELLARD IN BED AGAIN CHAMPION'S RELAPSE MAY CAUSE SECOND POSTPONEMENT. Doctors Say Condition Is X'ot Grave. but Doubt as to Ability to Fight March 23 Is Voiced. CHICAGO, Feb. 20. Jess Willard was ordered to bed by his physicians today and, according to information given out later, he may not be able to fight Frank Moran at Madison Square Garden in New York on March 25, to which date their meeting was post poned owing to the condition of the heavyweight champion. Willard suffered a relapse on Satur day, it was said, and while his physi cians do not consider his illness seri ous they believe it would be wise for him to remain in bed until he is well, enough to resume light training. How long that may be the medical attend ants do not say. Si 1 vert on Deieats Monmouth High. SILVERTON. Or., Feb. 20. (Special.) In a fast and rough game of basket ball here Saturday night the Silverton high school team defeated the Mon mouth high school team, 35 to 19.

Evidently Patrick Callahan was bluff ing when he intimated he might for sake baseball this year for some more prosaic vocation like keeping books, or driving a dray. The former Portland southpaw pitcher signed his contract with the Oakland club of the Coast League a couple of days ago and is thus sure of another tryout in the AA circuit. Callahan held out for several days for more -money and presumably Rowdy" Elliott granted his demands. Cal lives at Chehalis. Buddy Ryan underwent an operation for appendicitis several days ago in Salt Lake and has been very low ever since. His physicians believe he has passed the crisis. Somebody sent a dispatch out of Portland to the San Francisco news papers saying that Walter McCredie claimed some hold on "Speed" Martin, of the Oaks. The Martin on McCredie's reserve list is not "Speed" Martin, but a Wyoming bush pitcher, who will not be taken to camp at all.' "Speed" Mar tin belonged to Seattle until the Oaks purchased his release. He formerly twirled In the Western Canada circuit.

He is planning on running an independent team either at Anaconda, Mont., where he now is, or at Forsythe. As the season doesn't start in that part of the country until the latter part of June, he would have plenty of time to complete his duties at the college. In a letter to Jimmie Richardson, Lodell says that Wolfer stands a good chance of showing enough hitting ability to warrant carrying by the Beavers. Al says that he hit the pellet for fair at Forsythe last Summer and showed marked improvement in his fielding after being switched from the infield to the gardens. French, the infielder with Forsythe last season and Baker in 1914, has signed with Sioux City. Bert Fitchner has signod with Waco, Tex., in the Texas League. V "Suds" Sutherland, for whom the Mc Credies were dickering last Spring, has signed with the Kansas City club in the American Association. This is a Class AA organization and according to all reports on Sutherland he is a Class AA pitcher. He was the sensa tion of the Western Tri-State League in 1914. After much switching around last Spring, "Suds" wound up with Lo dell's Forsythe nine. Rudy Kallio. the local boy who goes to Oakland this Spring, has received notice to report at Boyes Springs, Cal., March 5. The letter from the manage ment of the Oaks says that the team will start training one week ahead of the rest of the Coast League clubs because they open up at Salt Lake and wish to have the boys there for one week before the opening day to get acclimated to the high altitude.
