Walker is still reced ing money and tickets from some of the committees, and it is expected that the figure that the various schools will receive will be TO per cent. The meet was a great success. All eight teams that took part in the con test expressed themselves as well Pleased with the management and the manner of settling the state title, which was won by the Lincoln high school of Portland. Before leaving, the majority of the coaches declared that they would send their track teams here on May 10 to take part in the state interscholastic championship track meet. The work of the Lincoln high school basketball quintet while here is re ceiving the highest praise from the Oregon varsity and others who saw them in action. After having played two. games In Portland the same week the "prepers" came down here and played three contests in two days, and won them alL Five games in one week is about enough for any team, but to win them all Is exceptional.

Joe Rivers, the Los Angeles light weight, will return to the big game on April 4, having been matched to meet Ritchie Mitchell in Milwaukee on that date.

SPOKANE BOY WINS MEET CARL JOHXSON" STAR EV MICHI. GAX TKACK TEAM. World's Record In 50-Yard Dash Is Tied and 60-Yard Sprint and High Jump Are Captured. CHICAGO, March 23 Carl Johnson, sensational former Spokane high school athlete, now the "ace" of the University of Michigan track squad, added more laurels to his brilliant career In athletics by scor'ng 15 of his team's points in the western conference Indoor meet yesterday. Michigan winning the meet with 364 points. The University of Chicago placed second, scoring 34 c. Johnson was the Individual star of the meet and, besides tleing the world's record mark in the 50-yard dash with 0:05 2-5, he won the 60-yard hurdle race in 0:0S and took first honors in the running high jump with a leap of S feet 11 inches. The meet was a hotly-waged fight throughout between the University of Michigan and the University of Chicago. Both teams were in the 'lead at several stages of the game, and when it came to the relay, the final event of the meet, Michigan was leading by four no.nts. The Chicago runners captured first place in the relay event, but Michigan came in second, giving them the meet. O TRA1EGY in baseball from the snec- O tator's standpoint largely depends on who pulls it. If the manager of the home team refuses to let the star hit ter of the opposition have a chance to come through in the pinch, by order ing his pitcher to pass him, It is re garded as good baseball. The intentional pass Is classed as one of the features of so-called inside baseball. Despite its classification. many fans would welcome its elimina tion, if possible. While many sugges tions have been offered to bring such a happening, the rule makers have passed them all up. It is generally re garded as a wise move, if the passing of some star intentionally, puts the burden up to a following hitter who fails. If the supposedly weaker hitter comes through, then tha second guess ers always have a chance to insist that it. would, have been wisdom to have al lowed the star to hit. I believe no real sportsman looks on the intentional pass with much favor. Such a person goes out to see the star perform, particular ly in the pinch, and if the stars are deprived of such a right by resorting to the intentional pass at a critical stage of the game, then the spectator is not getting a run for his money. Several years ago In a game at Cleveland I saw Fielder Jones, then managing the St. Louis club, order Bob Groom to pass Tris Speaker on three occasions in a nine-inning game. Each time a base hit meant the ball game. It was shortly after Speaker bad joined the Cleveland team and many people were at the game to see Speaker in ac tion, particularly batting. About all he did in the hitting line was grab his bat, walk to the home plate and stand around while Groom threw four balls so wide that there was no chance for Speaker to cut at any of them. Per haps Speaker would have failed to de liver, but that is what the fans paid their good money for, to see him come through or "flivver." Perhaps the ac tion of Jones would have been forgiven had the men who followed Speaker in the lineup hit safely, but they dldn t, and Cleveland was trimmed for the lack of a timely base hit. I believe the most unusual case of the intentional pass ever staged came up in a game at Comiskey park in 1917. The Athletics were the opposing- team and, although Mack's aggregation fin ished last that year, the opposition al ways realized it was in a ball game. For years the Philadelphia club has always been a jinx for the White Sox. The way the strategy of Mack worked out in the game I have in mind strengthened such a belief on the part of the Sox. In this game, which went 12 innings. Mack resorted to every scheme to halt the Sox, at a time when every game meant a great deal to Chi cago in tts drive for the pennant. In the ninth the Sox threatened to win the game. Leibold reached first and was sacrificed to second by' McMullin. Col lins flied out. With Jackson and Felsch coming up, Mack ordered Joe Bush to pass both, filling the bases. It was up to Chic Gandil, a dangerous hitter, but his best effort was a foul fly to Mc- Innis at first. In the 11th Inning the setting was duplicated. Leibold reached first and McMullin sacrificed him to second. Collins flied out. Once more Mack ordered Bush to pass Jack son and Felsch, filling the bases. And Gandil again flied .out on a foul toMc Innis, who caught the ball at almost the same spot. BOATEVG BECOMES POPULAR Launches and Row-boats Pot River During Warm Period. One o the truest signs of spring; was noticeable yesterday when from early morning to late last night the Willam ette was dotted with rowboats, canoes,' motorboats and every form of water vehicle. The river proved an attrac tion for many of those seeking the out doors for the first time this year, and with yesterday's weather on tap fre quently, boating will soon become popular. As soon as the water itself becomes warmer the ole' swimmin" holes will again become the mecca of many. ANGLEVG FEVE VS HOOD RIVER Fishing1 Better Than for Years and Sportsmen Enjoy Big Catches. HOOD -RIVER. Or. March 23. (Spe cial.) Deputy State Game and Fish Warden W. O. Hadley, who has spent a part of the past week here invest! gating conditions on Hood River, de clares that angling was never better.
