SEVERAL MEETS LISTED
First Big Contest to Bo at Corvallis
April 7, and From Then on ,
k Until September Men
Will Be Busy.
Twenty-four Multnomah Amateur
Athletic Club track and field athletes
worked out yesterday morning in the
Columbia University Coliseum, under
the tutelage of- Coach-Manager Phil
brook, Captain Hummel and Physical
Director Clough. Nothing strenuous was
attempted, the main thing being get
ting off the marks.
Coach Dominic Callicrate had several
cf hia Columbia University trackstera
out for a while, and quite a number of
the Jefferson High boys were in at
. tendance. Later on in the season after
the fellows have been able to limber
up a practice meet will be held on the
Indoor track.
First Big Sleet April 7.
The first competitive appearance of
any of the teams for the 1917 season
will be at the Corvallis Armory on April
7. and on the following Saturday all
the prominent winners of the Oregon
Aggie gathering will be present at the
annual Columbia University Indoor
meet. Plans are being made to house
the greatest number of entries ever re
ceived at a track and field meet In
the Pacific Northwest.
The relay carnival at Corvallis, Or.,
will be held on Saturday night, April
7, and because several of the Califor
nia teams are thinking seriously of
coming north, efforts will be made to
have them remain over for a week for
the Columbia affair. The annual
Spring vacations will be on for the
California institutions, and it may be
that they will see their way clear of
coming to Portland for Saturday,
April 14.
If the weather will permit' the
Winged "M" track stars will work out
on the Multnomah enclosure the nights
they are not scheduled to Journey out
to the Columbia campus. The only
trouble with going out to Columbia
University is that most of the Winged
"M" wearers work until around 6
o'clock in the afternoon, and it is al
most impossible for them to have din
ner and get out to the track in time
to work out more than an hour. The
Sunday morning sessions are bound to
bring out large attendances.
Dual Meets Planned.
Coach Philbrook is trying to arrange
dual meets with the University of Ore
gon, and the Oregon Agricultural Col
lege. The Oregon meet will be held at
Eugene in all probability around April
28, while the events against the Ore
gon Aggies will be scheduled for the
early part of May.
The Multnomah Club will send a team
to the Pacific Northwest Association
championships at Seattle on June 16,
and in early September several of the
local stars are in line to journey to St.
Louis for the annual National Amateur
Athletic Union titles. The original date
was announced for September 14 and
15. T. Morris Dunne, secertary-treas-urer
of the P. N. A., was in communi
cation with Frederick W. Rubien, sec
retary of the A. A. U-. and it was de
cided that the meet should be held in
St. Louis, September 7 and 8. The
change was made so that the Western,
particularly the Northwest college, ath
letes could take in the gathering, and
yet not miss any of the college work.
SEALS HOOK CUBS OXCE MORE
Oldham Works Well and Hollywood
Plays Like Star.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 18. (Spe
cial.) The Seals hooked the Chicago
Cubs again yesterday, 3 to 2.
The star of the combat was Len Hol
lywood, the little Alameda boy who is
getting his baptism in professional ball.
In three trips to the plate he ripped
off three hits, stole a base and scored
a run, and! handled his 10 chances in
the field with neatness and dispatch.
The Seals won the game on the
square, for they outplayed the big
leaguers both at the bat and in the
field, and Oldham outpitched both Nick
Carter and Aldridge, recruits from In
dianapolis, who are trying out with
the Cubs.
Red Oldham worked a nice game of
ball, walking but one man and allow
ing but six hits. He also fielded his
position like a top-noteher, which
seemed to surprise some of the fans.

AGGIES LACK STABS
3-YEAR CONTRACT MADE
BEZDEK TO GIVE OXLY PARTIAL
TIME AT OREGOTT.
Few Dependables Found in
Track Candidates.
COLEMAN AGAIN TRAINING
Brilliant Distance Runner and John
son, With Weights, Regarded as
Sure Winners Vaniters Good,
Team Lacks Sprinters.
OREGON AGRICTTLTTJRAL COLLEGE,
Corvallis. March 18. (Special.) With
the first track meet of the season only
three weeks away, the prospects of
turning out anything to resemble a
championship team on the oval at the
Oregon Agricultural College look
gloomy. Knowing that the number of
stars who could be depended on to
annex points has been sadly depleted
mis year, Joe Pipal. the Aggie coach,
has been straining his eyes for dark
horses and trying to develop some of
the second-stringers.
Out of the galaxy of consistent first
place winners who represented the col
lege last season, only Captain Coleman
and Moose Johnson remain. Coleman's
achievements in the half-mile and mile
brand him as almost a sure winner in
one or both of these events. Harry
Cole, the bulky athlete who was unde
feated on the Coast last season in
hurling the discus, returned to college
this semester, but Is ineligible to com
pete because of scholastic difficulties.
For several years back the Aggies
have been unable to produce any bril
liant speed artists for the dashes and
this year seems to be no exception to
tne rule. Keardon, Hubbard and Kiddle,
all second-stringers last season, are
among the most dependable candidates
for the sprints.
Team Lacks Qnarter-Mllera.
With the loss of Wallace Kadderley,
last year's captain and holder of the
world's indoor quarter-mile record, the
440 event presents a weak front. Heinle
Anderson, who ran second to Kadder
ley last season, has- been stepping off
the distance in fair pre-season time,
but there are not enough men who can
negotiate the distance fast enough to
form a winning relay team. Satterlie
and Oliver are the other good prospects
for this event.
The care of the half-mile and mile
will fall to the lot of Captain Coleman,
assisted by Sprlggs, Van Busklrk. Rey
nolds, Stephens and Tillery.
Reardon will probably be figured on
as one of the mainstays in the 220-yard
low hurdles. Radcllffe, Hoerner and
Straughn are also candidates for this
berth. In the high sticks Straughn,
Radcllffe, Hilton and Don Mayne appear
to be the best bets.
In field events the Agglea again pre
sent a weak front. Damon, who was
depended upon consistently to win
places in the broad jump, high Jump
and Javelin throw, and who handled
a lap in the relay, is numbered among
the absent.
Pole Vaniters Good. . .
The pole vault appears to be well
taken care of, with Sutherland and
Metzler, letter men from last year, 'n
uniforms again. Both men are good
for better than 11 feet In any meet
Stowe, Eakln and Hoerner can all vault
the bar well up in the air, but none of
them have had experience with the
varsity before. Metzler and Hoerner
are possibilities in the high Jump.
Moose Johnson can be depended on
to carry away a first place in most of
the meets of the season in the shot put.
In the broad jump. Javelin throw and
discus the Aggies are more than weak.
The first tryout of the season was
held yesterday, when the annual lnter-
iraternny ana inter-ciub track meets
were staged. Next Saturday the inter-
class meet will come off, after which
Coach Pipal will begin to concentrate
his efforts on the organization of a
squad to represent the college In the
intercollegiate and interscholastlc in
door relay carnival, slated for April 7.

field to be started this Spring occu
pied the attention of the council, as
well as the petition of students for a

former varsity pole vaulter, and John
Parsons, former varsity broad Jumper,
are on the list as ellgibles for the posi
tion of freshman track coach.

Montana Semi-Pro Presents Him
self, Saying He Will Get Place
as Backstop for Beavers.
Leo Gooch Manager.
Although Kan Ten is not being brought
to California with Walter Henry Mc-
Credie's battling Beavers, he will un
doubtedly be sent for by Manager Nick
Williams, of the Spokane National
League team, according to report
which came to Portland while the
Portland Pacific Coast League team was
wearing the sweatband 'neath Hono
lulu's burning sun.
In his one game with Portland Kan
Yen was somewhat handicapped on ac
count of having no practice with the
Beaver flingers, bmt he showed enough
to make Manager McCredle declare
that he is a class B ballplayer. Bob
Blewett's circuit certainly can use a
type of player like Kan Ten if one-
half of what they said about him is
true.
All who have watched him In action
figure that he will make good with a
vengeance. Without a doubt Kan Ten
would be the biggest drawing card in
the Northwestern League for a time.
They say he is a peppery player, and
the fact that be is a Chinese would
tend to create interest and make the
fans turn out.
The Chinese baseball team Is a big
drawing card on its tour of the main
land every year, and there would be a
heap of bugs in the Northwestern
League grandstands to see Kan Yen
perform.
William A. Fincher, the pitcher se
cured from the St. Louis Americans by
Portland, will be one of the players to
join the Mackian machine at Stockton
on Wednesday. He was bom in 1894.
and his home address is Holly Grove,
Ark. He is six et one inch tall and
weighs 180 pounds.
After completing his college studies
he Joined Little Rock in 1915. and that
Fall was sold to the St. Louis Ameri
cans, that club sending him to Memphis
.la 1916, then recalling him and shoot
ing the youngster to Portland for the
coming season.
O. H. Johnson, the big fellow from
Roundup, Mont, who is in Portland
awaiting the arrival home of Judge
William Wallace McCredie from Hono
lulu next Friday, is an enthusiastic
athlete. He paraded into the sporting
editor's office yesterday with a picture
of his good self, saying that he wanted
to show the fans what he looked like,
as he was going to be one of the Port
land catchers this season.
He says he was recommended to the
McCredies by J. L. Steiner,. a Roundup
man, and paid his own fare here to
converse with the Portland-prexy. He
is 23 years old, weighs 185 pounds and
stands six feet three inches high. Most
of his experience has been in the semi-
professional line.
.
Remember Lee Gooch, who played
with Portland two or three games In
1915, coming here from Cleveland and
being shooed back by Walter McCredie
when he looked like a novice at the
bat? Well, reports from Raleigh have
it that Lee, last year with Jacksonville
in the South Atlantic has been chosen
to manage the Raleigh team of the
North Carolina League. Gooch is an
outfielder who resembled Miles Netzel
in features. ,
The Portland squad, now on the
water coming to San Francisco from
Honolulu on the Great Northern, are
due to dock at the Seal Rocks burg
tomorrow.
The Birmingham club, of the South
era League, has taken Fred Derrick at
his word, and given him his uncondi
tional release. Derrick declared he had
retired from baseball for good. Latest
news Is, however, that he has now
changed his mind. The ex-Beaver
ought to have retired a long time ago.
Ham Patterson was trying to land him
for the Dallas club.

Jack Coffey, last year shortstop for

WILLAMETTE XESE PROMISING
Lack of Experienced Battery, How
ever, Is Felt.
WILLAMETTE UNIVERSITY, Salem,
Or., March 18. (Special.) The pros
pects for a strong baseball teal-, are
good this Spring. Almost all of last
year's men are again in school.
The outlooK was brightened when
Captain Paul Miller returned. Miller is
one of the best fielding first-basemen
that Willamette ever had.
Booth, a letter man of two years ago.
probably will fight it out with Dimick
for the second-base position, while
Tasto will be found at his old place
at short. Gates undoubtedly will be
holding down his customary place t
third.
Peterson. Esteb. Flegel. Grallop, Gll-
bert and several freshmen will form'
the material for the outfield.
The one thing that is worrying Coach
Mathews is the lack of an experienced
battery. Both Rexford and Adams,
pitchers, recently left school, and
Brown, who did the catching last year,
failed to return. Page, a freshman,
appears to be the test prospect in the
pitching line. Miller has also signi
fied his intention of helping out on
the mound if possible. Procter, Gros
venor and Yancey will be the candi
dates for the pesition behind the bat.
Little has been done toward the
schedule, but it Is the plan to carry a
heavy schedule with the best teams.
The Penitentiary team will be met in
several practice games.
A man who appealed to Eghem tri
bunal said that, although passed for

not matter," said the military repre
sentative, "as the ground is so uneven."
