Hicks, traveling passenger agent for the O.-W. K. a N. Company, in "-.astern Oregon, yesterday presented their proposition to Judge McCredie In writing, requesting the Portland mag nate to train hi baseball team in the Ilound-UD City. The official Invitation is couched In the most hospitable terma and is dif ferent from the first proposition tne I'endl. tonlans put up to the Portland magnate. Henry W. Collins, on of the best known baseball fans In the Northwest nd a former director of the Western Tri-State League, has submitted th proposition of tha ten Pendleton base ball fans In a signed letter offering to Place a certified check for J1500 pay able to Judge McCredie in a Pendleton bank aa a guarantee that the gate re reipts from four Saturday and Sunday games In the Buckaroo City will reach that amount and that all receipts over IlioO the 1 "or t land magnate may keep.

The fans In Pendleton will Tlx up the diamond at Kound-up Park and guar antee th Portland magnate and his players a good time while they are guests of the Buckaroo fans. The only hitch In closing tne deal may be that Judge McCredie might not want to linger in Pendleton for the fourth Saturday and Sunday.

He was a member of th Fifth Company, Coast Artillery Corps. Oregon National Ouard. of this city, and went to Fort Stevens with most of the other high school athletes, who were members of this company. but when the company was mustered Into the Federal seniles lie was re jected for a minor physical defect. Now that th regulations ss to unim portant physical defects have been re leased he hopes to enlist. Willard was president of the sopho more class of the High School and Roy Harris has been elected to succeed him. Th Columbia Prep School basketball team added another scalp to its belt yesterday afternoon at the Washington High gymnasium, giving Benson Tech 45 to 12 lacing. Coach "Tick" Ma larkey's team won th game hands down, but It took them over 20 min utes of playing to get into real Co lumbia form. Columbia now has a strong hold on first place In League A nd has but one more game to play. that with Christian Brothers, on Feb ruary 20. If the Prep school quintet de feats the Christian Brothers Business College five they will win the cham pionship of League A. If Christian Brothers beat them there is a chance for th C. B. B. C. team to tie for first place. The first half of yesterday s ram was anything but good. Both teams missed many easy shots and were care less in their passing. Malarkey said that he was experimenting in some thing and as the Columbia team swung into a championship paca in ths last half 'Tick" must have th dope. Th Benson Tech team surprised the fans present by holding Columbia down i?.a.,V TIMERS CHANGE CLUBS proved gam. Physical Director Wells took over the coaching of the team last week and after making some of the players change their style and shifting them around a bit he was rewarded with soma gratifying results in yes terday's game. Coach Malarkey shifted Shipley from guard to center In the last half and from that tlmo on the Columbia team kept up a steady bombardment of bas kets, running the score from 14 to 45 points in less than a half, allowing Benson to score only 7 in th same period of time. Shipley has played every position on the team so far and has starred in all of them. The first game he played forward, in the second gam he played center and yesterday ha started at guard and finished back at center again. Ha has been Colum bia's most consistent point-getter up to date, and Is always on th go. Swee ney and Phillips starred along with Shipley yesterday and played a spec tacular game the last half. Winifred Scott, the dtmtnutiv cap tain of the Benson quintet, mad sever al sensational shots from the center of the floor and registered 7 of Ben son's 12 points. Weighing only a little over 100 pounds, Scott bumps into the biggest of them and has been a star In all of Benson's Karnes this year.
