Epeaking of track meets it might be well to bring in a human Interest side of a recent meet. Arlie Mucks, Uni versity of Wisconsin giant, who has prospects of becoming one of the great est weight tossers the world has ever seen, is a real sport. , -In the annual championships at Evanston, 111., last month. Mucks was competing against the best weight men In college circles and among them was Llversedge. of California. During the Bhotput event Liversedge put the ball about a foot better than Mucks, but soon after the games Liversedge was declared Ineligible and for this reason he was forced to give his first place medal to Mucks, who had really fin ished second. The Californians returned to the Pa cific Coast. Last Thursday Liversedge received a letter and a package. They were from Mucks. In the letter Arlle asked that Liversedge accept the medal with the congratulations of the tech nical winner. Such generous sportsmanship is re corded too infrequently and if there ever was a true-blue sport that has anything on the Middle West star, it will bo news to us. Mucks made quite an impression in the Far West while at tending the National track and field championships of the Amateur Athletic T'nion at San Francisco last August, lie tipped the beam at better than 257 el thtit time and had a pair of shoul ders that would rival anything yet seen . anywhere. He threw the discus ap proximately 150 feet, besides winning the shotput. Lincoln High School of Portland cap tured 13th place in a field of 56 entries at the annual intercholastie meet under the auspices of the University of Chi cago June 10. Ralph Spearrow was the only Portland entry and he took 6V4 points. Frank Loomis and Sherman Landers, the Oregon, 111., entry, was the winning team. Between them they took 37 points. It is reported they wJU enter the University of Wisconsin this Fall. The one-year resident rule end the in eligibility of freshmen On varsity teams will prevent their participating during the 1917 season. Ray Bates, the captain of the Vernon club, who was with the Beavers last season batted for an average of .313 here last week which brings his season's average down to about 317. Many Portland fans have cen sured Walt McCredie for letting Bates get away from him.- Bates would look sweet on the Beaver team now, but, in a measure, the Portland manager can not be blamed for his presence with the Tigers. Just before the sale of Ray last Fall he announced his intentions of jumping to the Newark Feds and considering this it is easy to see why Boss Walter was willing to grab 31500 or $2000 for his release. Bates is a road ballplayer has a pleasing personality and is popular in Portland. Teams In the Pacific Coast League are compelled to adjust themselves not only to one but to many conditions. In Los Angeles they have Ideal Dase ball weather, but with it what is techni cally known among baseball players as a "high sky." Outfielders coming there from the East, are especially bothered by this until they accustom themselves to it, while batters claim that they find it harder to see the balL in the Spring, San Tancisco nas a low sky." Also In the region of the Golden Gate, there are trade wins blowing from the ocean which tend to hamper the pitchers who are not in nured to the elements. In Portland, the cold and rainy weather in the Spring sometimes cause chuckers to develop sore arms. This was espe cially the case this Spring here. Be cause of this, McCredie, while winning more than his share of pennants, nas never made a strong start. Entirely different conditions are found in Salt Lake. While, in the coast league it is really an inland city, it is located on the shore of a large body of water.' Situated at an altitude equal to that of some of our well-known mountain peaks. Salt Lake Is skimp on atmosphere. Because of the light air, the heavers find it impossible to put anything on the ball as there Is no resistance, bait Lake is a paradise for the batters, but what the pitchers think of It isn't lit to print.

Opponents No Games and Few Polnta Play Today. Two of Portland's tennis players were no match for G. Kumagae and H. Mikami, the sensational Japanese ten nis champions, who are visiting in Portland. Walter A. Goss and A. D. Wakeman lost four straight sets to the visitors on the courts of the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club yesterday after noon. Kumagae is the singles champion of the Orient and his showing yesterday especially in the first set, when along with his partner, Mikami, they trimmed Goss and Wakeman in a love set, was remarkable. Everett A. Johnson, chair man of the Irvington Club, received a telegram from the visitors yesterday from Seattle and the matches played in the afternoon were scheduled on "the spur of the moment." The contests were supposed to have been played on the Irvington Club courts but the rains caused the trans fer to the Winged "M" pavements. Mi kami and Kumagae will appear against four Portlanders this morning at 11 o'clock on the Irvington Club clay, weather permitting. Yesterday's re sults were 6-0. 6-4. 7-6. 6-1. The contests will be opened to all tennis enthusiasts. Singles will be played at 11 o'clock and then after lunch and until 2 o'clock this afternoon doubles will be staged.

Cleveland Tvrlrler Doesn't Accom pany Team "When It Leaves for . Detroit, According to Infor mation Received Here. BY ROSCOE- FAWCETT. "Wee" Willie Mitchell, for several years a star pitcher on the Cleveland Americans, is slated to join the Port land club Immediately. This Informa tion came over tho telegraph wires from a private source In Cleveland last night Read for yourself: "Southpaw Willie Mitchell was left behind when the team departed for Detroit tonight. He will be sent to Portland in place of Lowdermilk. who refused to report. Waivers already have been secured from other Ameri can League teams. If Mitchell refuses to go to Portland he will be suspended without pay." When the message was read over the telephone to Walter McCredie ho said it was all u pleasant surprise to him. "Mitchell would be a corking pitcher In the Coast League," said he. "But strange to say, I have had no corre spondence with Cleveland over him. When Lowdermilk refused to come out here, Robert McRoy, Cleveland secre tary, wrote and said he would try to get me another pitcher. There was no intimation that it migrht be Mitchell. Tn fact, Cleveland newspapers have ceen expecting Mitchell to prove the lounn star or tne pitching corps. v. uxuu ueeuB anoLiier craca soutn paw, and I hope we can make satis factory arrangements for Mitchell. He Is a fellow not much larger than Herb Kelly and possessed of a wicked curve ball." American League records for 1915 show that Mitchell won 11 and lost 14 for the Cleveland team, better than its winning percentage, and in effect iveness he showed much better than Rip Hagerman. Bill Steen. Dubuc. Bill James, Lowdermilk. Vean Gregg and a nosi or others. In 36 games his earned run average per game was only 2.82, as against 3.62 for Hagerman and S.54 ror mil Steen. This year Mitchell got off badlv and Manager Lee Fohl asked for waivers on him about three or four weeks ago. All but one club granted these' waivers, but rather than let him go to a rival club Fohl decided to retain him. He has won only one out of five this year. oiitcneu was in Portland a counle of years ago with the touring bis: leaguers. He went up to Cleveland from the class B Texas League. In 1910, when ne joined Cleveland, Mitchell won 12 and lost eight games and led, the team pitchers. - - - ESTACADA 7, FtXTCOf GREYS 3 Fast Portland Team Suffers Clean Dereat.
