Norris and Wells vs. Winner Newland and McAlpin vs. Mc-Veagh-Daly. BY KARL. R. GOODWIN. Vortland Interscholastic League track and field athletes are ready for their anual meet on Multnomah Field this afternoon. Managers of the various teams spent a greater part of the day yesterday holding the final rallies and boosting for a large attendance. Because of the number of heats that have been required in the sprints, T. Morris Dunne, secretary-treasurer of the Pacific Northwest Association and referee of the meet, wants it under stood that all contestants must be on the field and ready to start promptly at 2 o'clock. Plans had been made to hold the first heat at 1:30 o'clock this afternoon, but he compromised by mak ing it known that all must be present at 2 o'clock. The length of the programme causes the officials to be prompt, and if an entry is not on hand when the race is called it will be to his misfortune. The first field event; presumably the pole vault, will be started soon after 2 o'clock, in order that the other lengthy field contests will be over before the relay. w Records Are Kxprrted. Several records will be broken, if the work of two or three of the "cham pions" may be taken as a criterion. Ed Springer, captain of the 1916 state championship squad of Jefferson High and holder of the local league quarter mile record of 52 1-5 seconds, made last Spring, has ambitions of bettering his mark. Springer has been entered in the "half-mile as well, and it may be that he will be a little handicapped when he starts the quarter. His only fear in the 440 is Scanland Collins, of Franklin High. Collins is an all-around athlete, and Coach Dewey has entered him in six or seven events, but he still feels that Collins will be able to deliver the goods. Realph Spearow, of Lincoln High, holds the pole vault mark of 11 feet 2 94 inches, and only last week he cleared the bar at 11 feet 6 inches. Ileal Sensation Is Foreseen. The real sensation of the gathering Is expected from Maurice Snook, Jeffer son's mainstay in the sprints. Snook is only a freshman, but his showing at the state meet in Eugene, when he won the century and furlong with compara tive ease, makes him almost certain of repeating here today. Bill Hayward. coach of the Univer sity of Oregon track and field athletes. will be the starter. Bill brought his own starting gun with him because he "flinches" with an unfamiliar firearm, and he also brought his own shells, as it is almost impossible for him to do his best without Eugene "cartridges."

Five bouts will be staged at the club's headquarters at East First and East Morrison streets. Johnson is 30 years of age and, al though he has all of the old-time speed, he is not as aggressive as formerly and the old snap Is not In his punches. Romeo Hagen, of Seattle, will get his chance to prove whether or not he is Al Sommers' master. Sommers scored an eight-round decision over Hagen at Salem a while back and since that time Romeo has been howling for a return setto. The veteran Jockey Bennett tackles a tough boy in Joe Gorman, of Oakland. Gorman came here with Frankie Ma lone, who has returned to Oakland. He has a draw with Jimmy Carroll to his credit. Bud Stevens, the former Co lumbus Club amateur boy who is con tinually making a "come-back," will endeavor to trim Billy Nelson.

Bets We MlKht Have Made April 12. 1. That Cleveland and Washington would be battling- for the lead late In May. 2. That on May 15 Cobb. Jackson. Baker, Crawford and Collins would all be under .280. 3. That the Tig-ers and White Sox would be scrambling- around in the sec ond division. Robe the Uncrowned. Four years ago at this date Rube Marquard was on his way to 19 straight victories, iie was then only 23 years old. and he looked to have a pitching future only second to one or two great stars. Marquard will be 27 years old on the 22d of May. At 27 Eddie Plank still had 14 years of stardom beyond him; Mathewson still had nine or 10 fine years left, and so did Minor Brown. But at 27 the once eminent Rube Is struggling- to hold his grip. Two weeks ago he was sent In against the Giants, and or the five men who faced him In one inning four hit safe. A day or two ago he was started against the Car dinals and managed to last exactly one Inning. Yet the Rube looks to be In good health and he says his arm never felt better. It may be that he will come back again unto his winning ways, but the bleak fact remains that the tall and stately Rube hasn't been able to pitch winning ball since 1913. "What is the matter with the White Sox?" queries S. J. G. "They have the hitters, the fielders, the pitchers and the speed. What's the trouble?" Nothing, except as Hek alost wrote: "Thehellofitistheyain'twinning." Delayed Starts. This has been a rough-house season so far- for individual stars as well as certain clubs that expected to be 1-2 by now. A year ago this May morning Cobb was batting a trifle over .400. For the first six weeks he was moving at his swiftest clip. So far this Spring he has been struggling to reach .300. A year ago Eddie Collins was around .350. Eddie has been only a shade above .250 since the season opened. Joe Jackson and Frank Baker are another pair who have been trying vainly to reach .300. Last season Luderus gave Doyle a bat tie for the batting honors up to the final day. Now the Fhilly slugger is Datting around .zus. East vs. West. Just at present the West has the world's heavyweight champion Jess Willard. of Kansas. The game's leading pitcher Walter Johnson, of Kansas. The lawn tennis champion Williani Johnston, of California. The amateur golf champion Robert Gardner, of Illinois. Isn't it about time the East was try ing to pick up a running start? mm mmmmmmm i i iraffliii Ml Mi MM stTD-aE it illllll !
