first start with that famous club on
the Spring training Jaunt. He was tall
and fast, as fast, in fact, as anything
the Red Sox had displayed in many
years, and he w-as at once heralded as
one of the greatest fielders in the
game. At going back, or to one side the
big kid was a marvel, and when the
season opened the Boston fans were
treated to the sight of a new center
fielder who was later destined to be
one of the brightest luminaries In the
game.
Tbe big youngster with the wonder
ful speed and the uncanny fielding
ability was Trls Speaker, for 10 years
one of the greatest outfielders in the

been hailed as a superior of Cobb in

in that he has always given the Tiger

Palace. Friday night. April 26. met yes
terday at the Multnomah Amateur Ath

gramme of events for th big Indoor

One of the National Junior Indoor
events was offered the Northwest meet
by Secretary Kublen. of the American
Athletic Union and tha committee yes
terday made application for the 70-yard
high hurdles to be one of the main at
tractions for the big championship
meet. There Is no question but what the
American Athletic Union will award
Portland this event.
The delegation of military officers
from Vancouver B.rrarka suggested
that th grenade throwing be left off
the programme and a bomb-throwing
event h substituted. It was also de
cided to substitute a bayonet sparring

manager system in vogue there for
many years and put the funds so saved
to hiring an assistant coach who will
be on duty the year around.
The plan was evolved in connection
with the system of intramural athletics
which has been installed at Washing
ton.
Under this system the work falling on
the shoulders of Head Coach Claude J.
Hunt would be so great as to make his
work ineffective. A high-class coach.
capable of handling the freshmen teams
of all descriptions will probably be se
cured.
In the furthering of this policy, too.
a director of physical education will
supervise all forms of athletics at the
University of Washington, provided
that the plan drawn up by the commit
tee on Intramural sports and indorsed
by the board of control Is approved by
President Henry Suzzallo and the board
of regents.
The director of physical education
would hold a position on the board of
control by virtue of his office of chair
man of the faculty athletic committee.
He would carry on all the activities
now In progress by means of subsidiary
instructors and coaches.
The committee on Intramural sports,
which framed the plan, is composed of
David Thomson, dean of the College of
Liberal Arts: Colin V. Dyraent, head of
