Oregon Legislature to Be Petitioned
to Let Board Choose Own Time
for Holding Kvent County
Aid in Wasliiugtoii AYantcd.
BT HARRY M. GRAYSON.
Thomas S. Griffith will serve as
president of the North pacific Fair As
sociation during 1917. Election of of
ficers wound up the enthusiastic two
day 16th annual meeting of the asso
ciation late yesterday afternoon in the
second-floor parlor of the Imperial Ho
tel. Mr. Griffith is at the head of the
Spokane Interstate Fair and served
s vice-president of the North Pacific
Kair Association last year.
W. C. Brown, of Vancouver. B. C,
was chosen vice-president, and John
W. Pace, of Seattle, secretary-treas
urer. Mr. Pace is holdover. Frank
Meredith, of North Yakima, is the re
tiring president.
It was decided to meet next on the
second Friday in January, 1918, at New
Westminster. B. C. By unanimous vote
)t was decided to petition the Oregon
State Legislature to allow the Oregon
tate Fair Board the right to select
its own fair week. At present the date
is fixed by law. The Board believes it
tJiould be given leeway In this respect.
Oregon Fair Change Provided For.
The Oregon State Fair has always
started the first week in September,
but Oregon was given the week of
September 17 In the adopted schedule
nt the North Pacific Fair Association.
There was a clause inserted, however,
whereby the Oregon State Fair Board
would be permitted to switch its date
if it could not securo the consent of the
Legislature.
The association also adopted resolu
tions requesting the Washington Leg
islature to enact a law which would
permit counties and the state to make
appropriations to aid county fairs. In
Addition It went on record as favoring
the plan of the Northwest Touring As
sociation to procure legislative appro
priations to advertise the scenic attrac
tions of this part of the country.
The forenoon session yesterday
opened with an address of welcome
by Governor Withycombe. Ho reviewed
ttie history of the livestock industry
In Oregon since 1871. President M"'er,
of the Vancouver, B. C, exhibition, re
sponded. Trotting Association Debated.
A. H. Lea, of the Oregon State Fair,
opened discussion on the question, "Is
a. Western trotting association desir
nble and possible?" Mr. Lea said that
it was desirable and possible. W. C.
Brown. vice-president-elect. differed
with him. The sentiment of the body
was that the time for a Western trot
ting association was not opportune and
that the Western fairs were not strong
enough in the horse racing line at pres
ent for such an organization.
Races and racing conditions were
discussed by W. C. Brown, H. S. Rols
ton. of Vancouver, and George R.
Walker, secretary Southwest Washing
ton Fair, of Chehalis.
A new constitution and a new set of
bylaws were adopted. The most radi
cal change in either was the creation
of a board of control, consisting of the
three officers of the association and
George R. Walker and A. C. Marsters.
of the Oregon State Fair Board. This
body will have charge of all affairs,
settle appeals and hand down decisions
on all disputes. It is really an execu
tive committee.
A. H. Lea. Oregon State Fair Board:
George R. Walker, Southwest Wash
ington Fair, and W. C. Brown, of Van
couver, B. C., were appointed to serve
on the local board of appeals to the
American Trotting Association. The
report of the committee on resolutions
was read.
Again yesterday no attempt was
made to secure fair dates for Portland.
Most of the delegates left last night
for their homeg, but a few stayed over
to attend the Pacific International Live
stock Show. Frank Meredith, retiring
president, will leave this afternoon for
Salem, where lie formerly resided.
After visiting there for a couple of
days he will return to his home in
North Yakima.

dent Weeghman plans to have the club

"I found it necessary to decide on the
training camp at this time because we
have games to book." said Mr. Weegh
man.
"I am taking the club to the Coast
regardless of the decision of the pacific
Coast League concerning exhibition
games with us.
"If the magnates there decide against
us we will have to play with other clubs
and between our first and second
teams."

SALT LAKE. Utah, Dec. 7. (Special)
The Coast League directors in their
annual meeting here today got down
to business with a will. There were
three sessions, forenoon, afternoon and
evening.
Several matters of vast Importance
to the league were decided upon. Per
haps the most important of all was the
adoption of a new rule respecting tJe
constitution of the different ball clubs.
The salary limit was not taken up at
all, and the player limit was also al
lowed to remain at 18 men. as at pres
ent. However, four of these 18 players
must be men who have never played a
full season in class AA baseball or
higher. This is a considerable modifi
cation of the original Idea that four
plaj"ers should be men who had never
played in higher company than class is.
New Blood on Teams Wanted.
It wen the sense of the directors that
the new rule would keep the league
well supplied with new blood and
would have a tendency to restrict an
over-abundance of old-timers. It is
now up to the managers to figure out
;iow they can make their youngsters
fit in with their veterans.
Another important act was the re
peal of the rule limiting the training
season to three weeks. The directors
today took the lid off and the clubs
can train all Winter if they want to.
Of especial interest to certain Call
fornla clubs is the new ruling adopted
today which provides that no Coast
League player shall play with any out
side club during the season. This rule
is aimed at the practice of amateur and
semi-pro clubs hiring a league battery
for Sunday games.
Exhibition Gaines Permitted.
The bars against exhibition games
were thrown down for 1917 only. To
the extent of allowing exhibition
games next year, the existing rule
against pre-season games was abrogat
ed. but for next year only. A provi
sion is that no exhibition games shall
be played later than one week before
the opening of the Coast League sea
son. President Powers, of the Los An
geles club, said incidentally that he
thought the clubs would have four ex
hibition games in Los Angeles. Judge
McCredie said Portland would probably
arrange two games, and if alt Lake
trains at Las Vegas, Ney., a couple of
ames will likely be arranged for these
two clubs.
President Powers invited the direc
tors to meet in Los Angeles next year.
The night meeting was almost en
tirely taken up with an effort to break
deadlock on the question of the
length of the season. It was finally
decided to play 30 weeks, as at present.
The season will open April 3 and close
October 28. No holiday dates were
fixed tonight. Portland opens at Salt
Lake. Vernon at San Francisco and
Oakland at Los Angeles. Powers, of
Los Angeles: Darmody, of Vernon, and
Murphy, of Salt Lake, held out for a
28 weeks' season, the other directors
standing for 30, the 30-weekers finally
winning.
Seal to Have New Park.
Henry Berry. of San Francisco.
authorized the announcement that, now
the length of the season had been fixed,
he would proceed with the construc
tion of his new park.
The meeting will resume tomorrow
forenoon at 10 o'clock, when the sched
ule will be taken up. President Baum
was in doubt as to whether the sched
ule could be completed tomorrow and
said that a later meeting might be nec
essary. 'Darmody, of the Vernon club, said to
night he could not at this time say
whether he would exercise his option
to purchase the club or not. The option
has until January 15 to run. He added
that he would do nothing to stand in j
the way of Ed Maier's desire, if Maier
desired to continue in the league.

their match at the annual handicap
three-cushion billiard tournament of
the Waldorf billiard parlors Wednesday
night. Monroe won, 25 to 21. Monroe is
one of the young players of the tourna
ment, and his victory over his more
experienced tournament opponent,
Riechel, was a surprise.

Parker believes is a record for amateur
billiards in Portland, when he scored
a run of 12 three-cushion shots Wednes
day night. It was not a regular game
of the tournament, but It was in com
petition. Larry Talbot (25) Wednesday night
won from George Ruven (27) by a score
of 25 to 22, while the afternoon contests
resulted in C. MeClure's victory over
E. L. Roth. 22 to 16. B. O'Connell won
from L. E. Albright. 25 to 20. The
schedule for this afternoon calls for
E. A. Schaefer (25) versus C. M. Swin

UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene,
Dec. 7. (Special.) When the student
body of the university meets in its
December meeting next Y ednesday
morning an amendment will be pre
sented for bonding the associated stu
dent body in the sum of $14,000 or (20,-
000 for a new athletic field to be built
the coming year and be ready for the
football season of 1917.
The proposed field will bo located on
university acreage south and east of
the campus. The site at present is
rriven over to-' university golf links.
The side hill is to be graded out and
leveled, a heavy gravel bedding laid,
with tiling, and Willamette River loam
spread over. Around the entire field
will be built covered stands. i ne
draining will be such that during the
hardest rain the field will be in the
best condition for playing. The site is
not sc far removed from the campus
but that the gymnasium can be used.
It has not been definitely determined
Just what amount of bonds to float. The
university has had plans under way
fbr some time for a new athletic field.
but the money has never been forth
coming and the plans never material
ized. If the students should decide to
bond themselves it is understood
enough alumni will stand sponsors as
buyeis and later a claim will be put
into the university by the student body.
With the university standing a share.
two or at the most three good seasons
of football would bring the student
body out of indebtedness.
The agitation for a new athletic f'eld
came about as the result of the poor
field Klncaid has proved to be for first
class football games. As a result the
mauy visitors attending the big s&mei
have been sadly disappointed und left
vowing never to return. Realising' the
situation and that In the event no t.de
quate field with adequate facilities
were provided the campus would lose
its big games, the students have re
solved to take some definite action.
BEAVERS JINX FOR HORSTMAN
Portland Only Club to , Break Even
With Angels in Season.
Portland, the only club that got as
good as an even break with the 1916
Pacific Coast League champion Los An
geles club, had the goat of Pitcher
Horstman. of Los Angeles, more com
pletely captivated than did any other
club have any pitcher's goat during the
year. Portland won IS and lost 18
games against Los Angeles during the
season, ana six oi tnose Portland wins
were at the expense of Horstman, who
was unable to pull through with a win
over Portland for the whole season.
Those six Portland victories without
a defeat against Horstman easily take
the sting out of Jack Ryan's record of
seven Los Angeles victories and only
one defeat against Portland for the
year. Next to Ryan, Zabel and Hogg
were the only Angel pitchers who could
work effectively against the Beavers.
Zabel won four and lost none against
Portland and Hogg broke avea with
$1.50
per
Union Suit
three wins and three defeats against
the Beaver squad.
Scogglns and Crandall each won one
and lost none against the Beavers;
Hall won one and lost two; Rtandridge
won one and lost five, and Brant won
none and lost one.
