Mrs. James H. Murphy and her own horse "Brigadia" will be featured- in
the women's open paper chase of the Portland hunt slated for this after

ranks at the finish. The start will be made at 3 o'clock from the clubhouse

and Casey, O. A. C. freshman, all of
whom can equal 42 feet.
The Aggie entries include Captain
Kadderly, in the sprints and quarter
mile; Coleman, in the middle distances;
Cole, in the discus; Damon, in the Jave
lin, broad lump and quarter mile:
Johnson and Casey, in the shotput;
Tillery, in the mile and half; Suther
land, in the pole vault; Reardon, in
the eprints and low hurdles, and Dut
ton, in the sprints. About a dozen of
the most promising members of the
Aggie squad have entered unattached.
Aggie Entrants Train Hard.
All of the Aggie entrants have been
undergoing a hard round of training
during the past month and are in fairly
good rendition. The hopes of the cam
pus enthusiasts are centered in Kad
derly, Coleman and Cole, all veterans
and counted upon as sure point win
ners. Kadderly stepped the 440 in
50 1-5 seconds for the world's indoor
record in the conference meet last
Spring and then won the 220 and finally
by . a wonderful exhibition brought
home to the Orange and Black a thrill
ing victory in the relay. He again will
enter the relay with Coleman, Damon
and Tillery. Although not in mid-season
condition he will be able to place
among the first three in any eveit in
which he enters.
Coleman, third place winner in the
-mile in the last conference meet at
Portland last Spring, is going better
than ever before and should be right
up in the front rank with Massey, of
Idaho, Crippen, the Southern California
star, and Beebe, of the Los Angeles A.
C, as they approach the tape.
The last work upon the track In the
Armory was completed today. Ten
lanes have been arranged for the
sprints and the addition of seating ac
commodations is complete. The possi
bility of rain can have no effect upon
the success of the meet as the large
Armory is entirely rain-proof and both
track and galleries are covered.

weight Champion's.
NEW YORK, March 31. Benny
Leonard, the New lork lightweight.
who has been creating such sensations
of late, added more laurels to h
crown tonight by out-pointing Freddie
Welsh, of England, worlds champion
lightweight, in a ten-round bout at
Madison-Square Garden.
Leonard is only a boy of 18 years,
but the way he has been showing up
while meeting the best athletes of his
weight in the world singles him out as
a contender for the lightweight crown
Champion Welsh was out-boxed
throughout the entire ten rounds and
on only two occasions did he hold his
own with the New Yorker.
The blows delivered by the chal
lenger had more force and were more
effective than Champion Welsh's and
it was with ease that he landed on
the Englishman. Tonight's ten-round
no-decision boxing contest was th
second world's boxing championship
that has been at stake in Madison
Square Garden in the last six days
Heavyweight Champion Jess Willard
had little trouble winning from Frank
Moran last Saturday night.
Leonard had the better of nine of
the 10 rounds, the fifth being even.
Welsh weighed 136 at the ringside
and his opponent 132.
Leonard forced the fighting from the
first clang of the bell. On two occa
sions he rocked the titleholder with
left and right smashes to the head and
jaw. He used both hands, usually. Sev
eral times Welsh was compelled to
hold.
In the fifth, the champion appeared
to better advantage, landing with both
hands on Leonard's head and body.
One of his blows cut the challenger's
left eyebrow. One of Leonard's blows
which reached Welsh's nose was equal
ly effective, however. The bout w
fast and clean all the way.
EDGAR
FRANK RETURN'S
No Action on Transportation of
Athletes Reported.
Edgar E. Frank, chairman of the reg
istration committee of the Pacific
Northwest association of the Amateur
Athletic Union, returned yesterday from
a month's trip which took him through
the East and California. While in
Newark. N. J.. Mr. Frank witnessed the
National indoor track and field cham
pionships and also arranged for rep
resentatives from the Northwest to the
outdoor titles at Newark next Septem
ber. "Nothing definite could be done re
garding the appropriation for trans
portation of Northwestern athletes,"
said Chairman Frank last night at the
Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club,
"but I expect to hear from Secretary
Rubien, of the Amateur Athletic Union,
within a few days.
"Because it is the 250th anniversary
of the founding of the city, the busi
ness men of Newark, N. J., have do
nated $10,000 to bring the athletes from
all over the country to their city, but
as yet the various allotments have not
been granted.
"The National amateur wrestling
titles will be settled May 4 and 6, and
I am expecting word any time stating
whether r not we will be able to send
a Winged "M" mat artist.,
"According to present plans, the Pa
cific Northwest Association track and
field championships, on Multnomah
Field during the Rose Festival week
in June will be used as tryouts for
the team to represent the Northwest
at the hig games in September in
Newark."-

ada, last Saturday, according to a
letter from "Smoky" Harris, received
by James H. Rilance yestferday.
The Portland Uncle Sams were under
too great a handicap to expect to win,
says Harris. No less than 15 players
were in -uniforms for the Canadiens
on every occasion, and a string of fresh
athletes continually poured onto the
ce. The Portlanders won the first con
test 2 to 1, lost the second and third,
2 to 1, 6 to 3, and came back strong in
the fourth affair by winning 6 to 5.
ine una! match for the worlds ice
hockey championship was played
Thursday night, and resulted in a 2-to-

at Ottawa and several more at New
York. Whether or not these will be
cancelled now that the title has been
lost is not known.
Fights Mark Final Oame.
The third game must have been a
great one if the reports in the Montreal
papers are to be taken into considera
tion. Here are a few extracts from one
sport critic's account of the 6-to-3 de
feat of Portland.
"The Intermission was enlivened bv
a fight in the middle section of the
Olympic Theater seats on the West
fcide. Arthur Briere. former well-
known prizef iRhter. was the center of
the tumult, but had no part in it. In
fact, he tried to be the peacemaker,
but when the crowd recognized him
everybody got excited. Briere man
aged to stop the trouble, but started
another again right after, and at least
500 men and women stood up and took
part in it. Fortunately the players
came out and attracted people's atten
tion, thus stopping the row."
A collision between Tobin and Pitre.
in which the former fell down amongst
the cries of 'fake,' relieved the tension
for a minute."
"A novelty was introduced bv the
referees again calling the players to
gether and giving them a lecture the
same as they usually do at the start.
This was at the suggestion of Presi
dent tiuinn, of the National Hockey
Association. Pulford read the players
the riot act and then the struggle
began again." -
Johnson and Lalonde Mix.
"A terrific fight suddenly started
near the north end of the rink. John
son hit Lalonde. Lalonde hit back and
Captain Oatman went up in it. Then
the other players came mixing up and
the referees had great trouble stopping
it while Copper Smeaton looked on
with a sarcastic smile from the timers'
bench."
"While Johnson, Lalonde and Oatman
were being ruled off the ice three
fights were being waged among the
spectators.
"The second intermission was notice
able on account of three fights in
various parts of the audience."
"Another disgraceful fight took place.
started presumably by Johnson, who
attacked Lalonde. the referees being
unable to stop it and nearly all the
players taking part in it. The Chief of
Police of Westmount had to get onto
the ice and even then it took some
time to stop the fight."

UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene.
March 31. (Special.) Making his de
but as a varsity pitcher, Dick Nelson
came through in wonderful style this
afternoon, pitching a no-hit' and no-run
game against the Chemawa. Indians
from Salem. His control was marvel
pus, he walking only one man and
striking out 10. Besides, he contrib
uted two hits, one a two-bagger, out
of five times at bat.
In fact Dick was the one great lum
inary in the 13-0 shutout of the red
skins. Medley, another recruit this
year, making his initial appearance in
a varsity uniform, got two hits out of
three times up. one two-bagger and
the other good for three bases.
The pony infield of Bezdek's showed
to good advantage, but they were not
pushed hard and often worked slow.
Their fielding was perfect, but at no
time were they in the hole and had
no chance to show headwork: The
Indians were completely puzzled 'by the
hooks of Nelson, only two men getting
as far as the third and only one ne
gotiating safely to second. The line
