REDMOND NOT TO COMPETE
Track Athletes Believe Time Is More

REDMOND. Or., April 1. (Special.)
The boys of the track and field squads
of the Union High School have unanl

annual Central Oregon field day meet,
which Is scheduled for May 19 at
Prineville.
Most of the boys live on farms, and
they decided that their duty to the
country and to the boys in the trenches
should override any personal prefer

The suggestion of withdrawing from
the meet was first made by the boys
themselves.

Rotary Club Turn Tables.
The Rotary Club volley ball sextet
took the fast T. M. C A. team into
camp last night on the "T floor by
winning two out of three games played;
scores, 11-21. 21-17, 21-8. The first two
games were hotly contested, but the
Kotary Club players got away to an
early start In the final game and won
easily.
Billiard Match Pootponrd.
In tennis Is founded on speed, mental
alertness, stamina and- that Intangible
characteristic called "nerve." which Is
generally taken to mean the possession
of a fighter's heart. These same quali
ties make the great football player, for
he must be quick and sure of foot,
ready to "pick a hole," and in the game
every second of play.
Camp Advocates Gasse.
It Is perhaps because of these facts
that football and tenia have given gen
erously to the great war game. The
football stars are in their country's
service, almost to a man and so are
the ranking tennis players. And now
comes Walter Camp, the' best-known
figure in the football world, as an ad
vocate of tennis to help make the Na
tion physically fit. Mr. Camp has been
doing wonderful work In promoting
the physical welfare of men in the
Navy.
When the league's programme was
announced, Julian Sf Myrlck as vice
president of the National Association
offered its co-operation. In this effort
the association's membership is being
Interested and responses thus far
promise real progress in this work of
conservation. To prove the necessity
for physical activity that continues
through a man's middle and later life,
Mr. Camp calls attention to the fact
that one fault with present systems has
been that tey are too complicated or do
not develop the trunk, which needs
most attention.
Business Cares Interfere.
Another difficulty Is that men give
np their sports as they become en
grossed in business or professional
cares. "Men of all ages have- taken up
tennis and have found it an ideal exer
cise," says Mr. Camp, "but at most it
is an outdoor seasonal sport. And
how many tennis players stick to it as
a permanent conditioner?
It waa partly with this in mind that
the annual meeting of the National As
sociation voted to sanction handicap
tournaments this season. ith prac
tically all the ranking players in uni
form, tournaments now must be made
up of those who have played in by-gone
seasons, and of the - youngsters below
military age, who will make tennis his
tory in years to come. By Judicious
handicaps players of varying degrees
of skill will have the sporting chance
of winning, that adds sest to any game.

Tacoma Manager Signs lnfielder Ca
ble, of International League.
TACOMA. Wash, April 1 (Special.)
A wire from Manager Billy Speas. of
the Tacoma Tigers, received by Marse
Kuas Hall, brought glad tidings to him.
He had signed lnfielder Cable, young
second baseman last year with the Buf
falo club of the International Class AA
League, for the local squad. Cable is
ready to play ball and wants to play
and win perhaps leave his Eastern
home for the local camp In about
werlc! It appears that Speas put over
a 10-etrike when he landed Cable.
Anybody able to step fast in such
company as the International can do
diamond chorea In any minor league in
the country to a nicety, thinks Hall.
James Hamilton, now manager of the
Vancouver Beavers and who was after
the Tacoma management several weeks
back, wrote Hall that he had Cable in
mind for a berth. Hamilton said that
Cable is a young fellow, very fast, a
good hitter and a good fielder.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 1" has
been only on rare occasions in past
years that games in the Pacific Coast
League have been called on account of
darkness. With daylight saving in
force it is generally believed that not
a single game hereafter will be termi
nated for this cause.
There has been some talk in some
of the other leagues in the country of
starting the games later this year than
in former seasons. It is argued that
the extra hour will allow of this, the
principal reason for the suggested
change being that it is expected to
allow of more people attending the
games.
Thus far there has been nothing said
in the Pacific Coast League in the mat
ter of beginning the games a half hour
or more later than usual, but there are
many who believe that if the plan
proves a success financially to any of
the leagues which may adopt the meas
ure, the local leagues omciais win
lose ne time in adopting the innova
tion. It Is probable that in no league in
the country are there fewer postponed
games than in the Pacific Coast League.
The principal reason for this is be
cause of the fact that between the
months of May and November, known
as the dry season in California, there
never is any rain. It is only during
the first few weeks of the Coast sea
son that rain may come and put an end
to a contest. '
It Is a fact, however, that on one or
two occasions it has been found neces
sary to call time temporarily on ac
count of heavy fog. On these rare oc
casions It was almost impossible to
distinguish the outfielders from the
grandstands and quite out of the ques
tion for these players to see the ball
in the event that a long fly was knocked
in their direction. :
While no game has ever been called
because of the wind. It was largely
because of the wind and cold that the
expensive ball park here, known as
Ewing Field, was abandoned after only
a season or two of play on it- Many
a legitimate hit which would have been
good for two or three bases went for
naught because tne wina carnea tne
ball across the foul line. High flies
were the despair of the fielders on this
account and the difficulty in judging
them constituted a considerable men
ace.

SWIMMING MEET INTERESTS
Sixty Colleges, 150 Schools and
Number of Army and Navy Camps
Entered in Championships to
Be Held In Coming April.
With more than 60 colleges entered
and more than 150 scholastic teams on
the list, together with several Army
and Navy camps. It looks as if this
year's Pennsylvania relay carnival, to
be held on Franklin Field, Philadelphia,
April 26 and 27. will be just as big and
even more interesting than usual. All
the big colleges in the East and a large
number of the smaller ones have sent
word that they will be in Philadelphii
for the relay championships, group
races and special events. Harvard
alone not having been heard from of'
ficiaJly, according to Philadelphia dis
patches. Graduate Manager Moore, of
Harvard, stated some trme ago that
Harvard would be represented with
whatever material it had.
New Men Show Form.
Chicago, Wisconsin, Michigan 111!
nois and other Western institutions are
expected to enter teams or individuals.
The feature of recent college devel
opments in track and field athletics is
the large number of new men that are
showing remarkable form. On this
account, the standard in the relay
championships and the special events
will be much higher than had been an
ticipated.
Yrobably the most spectacular feat
ure of the meet this year will be the
military and naval events. Eight are
on the programme, all but one being
listed for Friday, April 26, which will
be Army and Navy day. Camp Dix, th
Philadelphia Navy-yard, Camp Meade,
and several other military camps and
naval training stations are expected
to be represented, which assures sev
eral novel, instructive and interesting
events. As the regular medley relay
championships, the Pentathlon and a
large number of college and scholastic
relays and college special events are
also down for decision on Friday, this
day will vie in interest with Saturday,
which has always hitherto been consid
ered the big day of the meet-
On Saturday, the one, two and four
mile college relay championships, the
freshman college relay championship,
the regular special events which are
now considered the real college cham
pionshlps of America and scores of
scholastic and collegiate relay races
will be held.
Dark Horses Rnmored.
This guarantees two days of wonder
ful sport. Rumors of dark horses in
the various events are rife. Myers,
of Dartmouth, is slated by his mates
to defeat Landers, of Pennsylvania, in
the pole vault and make a new college
record if necessary. Landers is me
nresent American pole vault champion,
so It will take a record performance to
beat him. Several other vaulters cap
able of clearing 12 feet will be in this
event.
Ganzemuller. of State College, is ex
pected to. win the 100 yards, in spite of
the remarkable work or I zoeinn, oi
Michigan; Cleminshaw, of Cornell; Car
roll, of Illinois, and Butler, of Dubuque.
This race promises to be one of the
fastest sprinting events held for sev
eral years. The work of Shea, or Pitts
burg, the American 440-yara cnampion,
will be watched eagerly in tne one
mile championship, for he is said to be
capable of beating 49 seconds in his
relay if ne has to.
Cornell s team of mllers, led Dy .urea
ser, the cross-country cnampion, win
be favorites for the four-mile event,
but M. I. T. and Chicago alsb have their
eyes on this event. Erdman, or Prince
ton, is slated to go 15 seconds in the
high hurdles, while his mate, Sinclair,
is out Tor a new college record in the
shotput. The above are only a few of
the stars who will compete, indicating
that the events will be very high class
and most closely contested.
Women Fans Not Required
to Pay War Tax.
Pasaholders Will Have to Pay In
' crease Asked by Government.
The difference between a woman
baseball fan and a minister of the
eosnel on Monday. Tuesday, Wednes
day, Thursday and Friday of each week
at the Vaughn-street ball park will be
"a cents.
Such was the information gathered at
the internal revenue office in the Cus
tom-House yesterday when the follow
ing question was asked:
"Will women baseball fans have to
pay war tax on the days thy are ad
mitted free to the park?"
The officials in charge of collecting
the'tax say "no" because there will be
no discrimination against them on the
days in question. If a select few were
allowed to enter through the pass gate
and others were charged for admittance
then the "few" would have to pay war
tax, but in this particular case all the
women are admitted free.
But ministers of the gospel who un
derstand the baseball rule book as well
as they do the "Good Book" will have
to fork over 5 cents every time they
flash their "annual" at the gatekeeper.
It would never do in these days of
trials and tribulations to allow the
ministers to enter the gates without a
pass. One day of such doings would
suffice and the first thing you lyiow,

OPENING GAMES TODAY
PACIFIC COAST LEAGUE TO BEGIN
BASEBALL SEASON.
Initial Contests to Be Staged at San
Francisco, Sacramento and Los
Angeles Parades Planned.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 1. Every
thing is in readiness for the opening of
the baseball season of 1918 on the Pa
cific Coast League circuit tomorrow,
Unless rain interferes the usual parades
and other ceremonies will be held here
in Sacramento and in Los Angeles,
where the initial contests will be
played. The teams will be matched
as follows:
Vernon at Sacramento, Oakland at
San Francisco and SaltLake City at
Los Angeles.
Many of the baseball critics who have
been watching the preliminary training
season of the various teams incline to
the opinion that the Salt Lakers and
the Los Angeles club will start off the
season with the best-balanced teams
from the standpoint of offensive and
defensive capabilities.
San Francisco and Sacramento come
next in favor, with Oakland and Ver
non as the two teams which will have
the hardest struggle to keep in the
running.
Olaf Erickson, the pitcher who won
30 games for San Francisco last season,
is the Seal's greatest ioss, while
Schaller, Maisel and Fitzgerald, on
whom they depended to lead their at
tack last year, will be among those
missing.
Many players in the league are sub
ject to draft and, for this reason, fol
lowers of baseball find it difficult to
predict what the season will bring
forth after it starts. Promising men!
are liable to be taken away irom tne
team at any moment and the loss of a
few standbys is quite likely to change
the entire complexion of things.
Salt Lake will have its opening cere
monies on April 16, when the Bees will
start the local season in a week s series
against the Los Angeles club.
JACK ALLEN LOSES DECISION
Mike Pete, Seattle, Wins Fast Bout

ABERDEEN, Wash., April 1. (Spe
cial.) Mike Pete, of Seattle, was
awarded the decision tonight over Jack
Allen, of Portland, after the two boys
had put up one of the fastest and best
10-round bouts seen here in years. Pete
had only a trifle the better of the
Portland boy, and at times Allen land
ed blows that almost lifted Pete off his
feet-
Fans are clamoring for another match
between the two. Nearly 1000 fans
witnessed the smoker. Allen's face was
badly battered by the Seattle fighter.
Allen was the more aggressive.
