LEAGUE IS FAVORED
Meeting to Be Held This Week
to Discuss IPans.
GOOD PLAYERS AVAILABLE
Circuit of Four or Six Teams for
Saturday Afternoon and Sun
day Scries Is Proposed.
Plans arc now under way for a big
revival of inter-clty and shipyard base
ball for the coming season, and a
meeting 'will be held here thin week
to talk over preliminary plans for the
formation of such a baseball league.
Those who are pushing: the plans and
who will play a big part ii. putting
the newly proposed league on the map
are Pearl Casey, Tom Standifer, Leo J.
("Tick") Malarkey, Arthur Stubling,
John Dwyer and Sergeant Billy Stepp.
now overseas.
It is proposed to have either four
or six teams in the circuit playing ball
on Saturday afternoons and Sundays.
The tentative clubs are Standlfer Ship
building t'Om nan v. C.cirnfnnt SThinhnitri-
ing company, Astoria Marine Works of1
.Astoria, Or., the 21st infantry, Van
couver barracks; St. Johns, battery A,
overseas; Chehalis and Centr. ia, Wash.
it is contended that the only ball
players to leave the shipyards will be
the class A A and big-ieague players
and, with the old Northwest and
Pacific International league out of ex
istence, the boys will have t grab
onto some berth, and that just such a
league as is under considerat.on will
give them an opportun' y to land.
Utvltery A Slay Be Star.
The team that is figured to be the
real drawing card of the league will
be the battery A nine. Such players
;;s Uillie Stepp, "Biddy" Bishop and
other well-known stars are now with
the battery A team and have been
with the aggregation for several years.
"When they get back in Portland it is
more than likely that The outfi can be
held together and play under the old
colors, being one of the teams repre
senting Portland in tho league.
Those who are taking the initiative
in forming the new league have been
corresponding with Stepp in France
and he is very enthusiastic over such
an arrangement as planned.
ine 21st lntantry, regular army, now
stationed at Vancouver, boasts of a
great ball team and has practically
agreed to play in a. league this season
Stars Are Available.
Flocks of star baseball players are
working for the G. M. Standifer Con
struction corporation, and that com
pany will be well represented. The
Albina Engine & Machine company.
known as the Cornfoot yards, is also
plentifully supplied with ball talent.
John Dwyer, who will manage this
year's Astoria Marine Works team, was
a Portland visitor the other day in
interest of putting a ball club in the
tield. The Astoria Marine AVorks is
building a ball park and will go in
strong for the game.
Efforts are being made to interest
the commercial clubs of Centralia and
Chehalis in entering a baseball team
in the proposed league. St. Johns is
also figured as a possible entry.
SELLAYOOJO TEAJI OUTCLASSED
Silent Five Wins Game by Score of
6 1 to 15.
In one of the fastest and cleanest
games of -the season, th Silent Five de
feated the Scllwood quintet Saturday
night, 64 to 15, at the Sellwood Com
munity club gym. The Sellwood play
ers were outclassed in every way, yet
they put up strong opposition and
showed some fine team work, but tho
mutes were entirely too heavy and fast
for them. A goal was made a few sec
onds after the start, and from then to
the end of the game something was do
ing every minute.
Six fouls were called on the Mutes,
while only two were recorded against
the Sellwood team.

ANGLERS AWAITING
OF STEELHEAOS
Prospects Are Bright for Ex
cellent Fishing Soon.
STREAMS EASILY REACHED
Sandy River, East of Portland, Most
Popular Water Course for Those
AVith Limited Time.
Anglers who enjoy winter fishing
and are willing to brave the severe
weather have not as yet met with
many thrills in streams within easy
reach of Portland.
Steelheads, such as arc sought in the
months of December, January and Feb
ruary, have not yet banded together
and made assault' on any particular
stream. Some steelheads have been
caught, but from the nature of re
ports and experiences of veteran
anglers, the big run has not yet started
up the Columbia river.
The present rainfall Is having its
effect on the many streams emptying
into the Columbia ' river and before
long there should be many steelheads
on their way up stream. These fish.
after their life in the sea, are brim full
of pep and, once hooked, they offer
battle that is long remembered by the
man on the other end of the line. With
a light casting rod, a smooth-running
reel and a cultivated thumb, one can
realize much enjoyment casting into
pool3 and deep-flowing riffles. An
abundance of such water lies within
easy access of local anglers, permitting
the full enjoyment of a one-day trip.
Most popular of all streams is the
Sandy, east of Portland, and between
one or two-hour ride by either elec
tric car or automobile. Splendid
stretches of water can be reached
either from Troutdale. on the lower
river, or Bull Run on the upper river.
Down the Columbia, on the Orejron
side, are many streams easily reached
by railroad. Scappoose creek always
attracts anglers. Milton creek is but a
few miles farther on and affords
plenty of sport. Clatskanie river often
offers good returns to the angler who
visits that stream. At Knappa, near
Astoria, Big creek a dandy stream
flows into the Columbia river, and
most always is the biding place of
many fresh-run and very bright steel
heads. Many an angler has had his
skill tested on the fast-running riffles
with a bulldog steelhead on the other
end of his line.
In Washington, and also readily
reached by railroad, are many fine
streams and all of good proportions.
Cowlitz river, near Kelso: Kalama
river, near Kalama; Tewis river, near
Woodland or Ridgefield; Washouga
river, near Washougal, and the White
Salmon, at Underwood, aro among the
most popular of Washington streams.
The membership campaign of the
Multnomah Anglers" club is on in fu
swing. Anglers keenly interested in
fish propaganda and game protection
should enroll. It is all for a good cause,
Mr. Steinhar and Mike Butler have
an entirely different story to tell o
their fishing luck since they Journeyed
to the Nehalem river last Monday and
Tuesday.
Rivalry in tournament bait and fly
casting is waxing hot around th
sporting goods counters at this par
ticular time. After the return of all
the veterans from the service and th
tournaments are started interest in
tournament bait and fly casting will
be at its height.
Mighty are the- preparations now be
ing made by many anglers who will
attempt the drive on the Chinook I
April and May. We hope that Mr.
Salmon is not posted on trench war
fare.
From the nature of plans now bctn
formulated by "Doc" Downs his offic
attendants will see very little of hi
smiling countenance during the salmo
season.
It is the wonder of many who th
lucky man will be who will show th
boys how to lay out 120 feet of fly lin
or average 200 feet in half-ounce dis
tance.
The annual meeting of the Salmon
club of Oregon will be held next Frida
night. Members are requested to at
tend. Ray Winters, secretary, has som
very interesting matters to be brought
to the members uttention.

BIRD ACT BEFORE COURTS
CASE IS HANGING FIRE WHILE
SPORTSMEN WAIT.
Law of March 4, 19 19, Declared
Unconstitutional, Carried to Hisu
est " Tribunal In America.
BT TOM A MARSHALL.
XEW YORK. March 2. (SpeciaD-
'The mills of the Gods grind slowly.
but they grind exceedingly fine." Court
decisions arc delayed, but many come
when least expected. The United States
uprcme court has the mills of the Gods
backed off the boards for procraslina
ion and dilatory performance. The
migratory bird act of March 4, 1913,
was declared unconstitutional by Judge
Trieber of the United States district
court for the eastern district of
Arkansas.
The case was Immediately appealed
o the Lnited States supreme court.
the first argument was heard on the
appeal in the fall of 19ir, acain in
February, 1916. and passed subject to
call in October. 1916. Since that date
the case has been "hanging fire," while
millions of sportsmen in the Lnited
States have been awaiting the decision
which would have put to rest for all
time the question of the constitutional
ly of the law. The law is good in its
ramifications and a. great protection to
the bird life of our nation If universally
enforced.
On January 6, 1919, based upon a re
quest from the attorney-general, the
case of pending appeal was dismissed
by the United States supreme court.
Again high legal comedy is being
played and staged with prospective
spectacular effects. Was this dismis
sal of this case a confession of uncon
stitutionality of the migratory bird
law as held by Judge Trieber? Was
the request of .the attorney general
made because the highest tribunal was
to decide unfavorably and there was
no opportunity presented to declare the
treaty with Canada of 191s the law of
the land?
It was claimed that the United States
supreme court was not given an oppor
tunity to render a decision because the
migratory bird treaty act of 1918 su
perseded the older law of 1913. That
the supreme court was not given an
opportunity to decide is a monumental
joke. Three years of procrastination
while millions of interested people were
on the qui-vive awaiting the decision
that never came. By dismissal the attorney-general
has shot his load in
mid-air, paving the way for unlimited
learned legal opinions, none of which
will carry weight with the opposition
until there is a decision eventually ren
dered by the court from which there is
no appeal.
The enforcement authorities should
as soon as possible get a final decision
on the constitutionality of the law and
Jurisdiction of Mates over migratory
birds, thus eliminating prospective le
gal conflicts. The fact that there is
a penalty, upon conviction, of not more
than J500 or Imprisonment of not more
than six months, or both, should deter
violators from taking a long chance

BT RICHARD R. SHARP.
The state interscholastlc basketball
championship tournament will be staged
in Eugene under the auspices of the
University of Oregon on March 14
and 15.
Dean Walker, graduate manager at
the University ot Oregon, recently
sent out letters in questionnaire form
to the roaches of all of the high school
teams throughout Oregon and received
such favorable comment on a cham
pionship tournament that all arrange
ments have been completed for such an
event. A number of different dates
were suggested by various coaches for
staging the tournament, but a vote
taken on all the suggested dates proved
March 14 and 15 tlie best suited.
Mate to Be Divided.
The state will be divided Into the
following sections: 1. the city of Port
land: 2. eastern Oregon, composed of
Pendleton. Baker. La Grande and their
natural opponents; 3. central Oregon,
composed of Hood River. The Dalles,
Bend and their natural opponents; 4,
lower Columbia from Portland to As
toria; G, Willamette valley: 6. Cooe bay.
and 7. southern Oregon. Cottage Grove
to Ashland.
The champion team of cacft section
will be brought to fclugene. The Wil
lamette valley section contains so many
teams that it is impossible for all of
them to meet, thus making it difficult
to select a champion, so two quintets
may be chosen from that section, but it
is hoped that the valley tournament at
Salem will settle the titular question.
Kntrtes must be in by March 12 at the
latest.
The tournament will be a straight
elimination one. and all contests will
be decided by drawing.
The schedule will be as follows:
Friday, March 14 4 P. M.. two games;
7 P. M.. two games. This will eliminate
four teams.
Saturday. March 13. 10 A. M.. two
games. The winning team will rest In

7 P. M., championship game and award
ing of trophies. All managers of the
teams will meet at the men's gymna

Trophies will be awarded to the win
nlng team and each member playing on
it. Trophies also will be given to mem

the tournament. All contestants will
be admitted free to the games in which
they do not compete.
All of the teams will be housed in
