The prof ec clonal baseball outlook here remains practically unchanged, excepting that proposltlone for ground facilities are assuming mere definite shape, and as two desirable locations for placing fields are being: oonoidored, the matter -will soon be settled. If rood bard rustling means suc cess la baseball, then Manager "Ted" Sul livan should have a gilt-edge team rep resenting the Northwestern league In Portland. Mr. Sullivan is indefatigable, and, should his plans fail to connect, the fault will lie with the public, who are Bupporters of ball, and not with the man agement. The National League in the Bast Is in a peck of trouble. Public support last Eea son o owned to wane. Syndicate ball, col lisions between managers, some rowdyism, oaused a falling off la the attendance. The unwieldy and lopsided 12-team league was another detriment. Too much dis parity between the quality of the teams has caused Louisville and Cleveland to be dropped for the coming season. The American Association, headed by Quin, of Milwaukee, and Anson, of Chicago, in tends to place teams in the Eastern cities now under league control. Will Fight the League. This aeeeelatten will fight the National League in every way possible. It will recognise in. no way the rules regarding the reserving of players In fact, it fol lows pretty much the plans of the old Brotherhood Association, formed in the early 'Ste, to fight the League. Right in line with this dtsaffeotlon comes Sam Johnson, of the eM Western league, who has formed what will be known as the American League, embracing some of the stronger of the eld Western League cities, and cutting into the Middle Western cities, suck as Chloago, Buffalo, Detroit and Cincinnati. The National League, which paid but Htth attention to the Tumors of war un til quite recently, has been rudely awak ened from its lethargy and Is showing a boM front. To meet its opponents and squash them, neither money nor pains will be spared. Its first move In the light, judging from press reports is to form an opposition association, directly under League centre!, to play in the same cities, on the same dates, with the Ameri can Aesooiatkm rebels. With so many leagues in the eld. the result is sure to be injurious to the national game. How ever, It is to be hoped that all this pre liminary skirmishing may prove merely a sham battle, to attract and keep up in teres kt the puhim mted during the off Jories-Corbctt Contest. Among the boxing fraternity, the next great battle of importance will be the heevy-weteht tmejapteashlp bout between the present commote. James J. Jeffries, and the or nhnmphm. James J.Corbett Btnee both thaw famed lighters are Call-f-trtntanfr. Tnwinuat interest on the coast is a result. Oerbett. at his best. Is a entity. fast rtog general, but the great question is whether Corbett is now in, or can get to, his best form by March lk Jeffries h a young, strong, massive fighter, who has shown that he can stand an immense amount of hard punching from harder- hit tors than Corbett ever was, so, naturally, the result Is now counted as in Jeffries' favor. There is a strong probability of the contest taking place in San Francisco, as the National Club, according to present Indications, Is banging up the heaviest purse. That little fighting machine, Terry Mc Govern, of Brooklyn, N. Y has clinched his claim to championship honors, at any weight from 117 to 122 pounds, by defeating George Dixon, and, more recently, Santry, of Chicago, considered to be one of the best in the 122-pound class. McGovern's fights have all been of tho short-order variety, as he Is a powerful little chap and. deals exhausting body blows, with the force of a pile-driver. His strong point is roughing it and mixing It up with his opponent, his short-range jolts on the ribs soon completing his work. Evans-Jost Bout. A contest that is stirring up a great deal of interest, at present, locally, is tho Evans-Jost contest, billed for this coming week. Jost is a pupil of Evans, and so apt has he become, that in their first meeting, a few weeks ago, he wrested the middle weight championship of the Northwest from his teacher. Since that time, Evans has trained faithfully and will make the fight for his life to regain his lost laurels, In the limited 20 rounds at his disposal. It will be a hard bout, and It looks like anybody's fight. The Oregonlan Js In receipt of the follow ing "defi" from Nick Long, manager for "Jimmy" Anthony, the famous little Aus tralian: "Seeing an item In the Evening Bulletin, of San Francisco, relative to 'Jimmy Flaherty, the well-known Portland ban tam, being desirous of meeting 'Jimmy Anthony, of San Francisco, I wish to state, in reply, that I am willing to match Anthony against Flaherty, or any other bantam in the country. Anthony, who, on January 5, defeated Micky Welch, in 12 rounds, before the Seattle A. C, Is also willing to give the latter a return match, if a Seattle, Tacoma"-or Portland club will gie a purse. "I am also willing to match 'Cockey' Bole, who has met Oscar Gardner, Dave Sullivan and others, to tox any man In Portland at 126 to 130 pounds. My other 'star boxer. Jack O'Brien, who meets 'Young Peter Jackson on February 14, be fore tho National Club, of San Francisco, Is also willing to box any 150-pound man in America." Nick Long Is the eporUng editor of the National Review, of San Francisco, so any communication from aspiring local men will be promptly attended to. . Eqpaled, the Record. The second athletic contest in gymna sium work took place last Tuesday night, in the Y. M. C. A building. The events were the long dive, won by J, A.

The ybungsters are taking an un usual interest in the work, and their ex hibition promises to be an interesting one. Return Game of Basket-Ball. The return game of basket-ball between the Turned women team and that of the Y. M. C. A women's annex, wlll'be held In the Y. M. G. A. gymnasium, on the evening of February 39. The first game was won by the Turners, after a pretty contest, and the Y. M. c. A team has been practising and-gettlng in some new mate rial, and another close game may be an ticipated. The annual meeting and election of eight mombers of the board of directors of the M. A A C will be held at the clubhouse on Tuesday evening next. GIVES THE REASOAS WHY. Fife, Sr., Bxplalns Why Fife, Jr., Did Not Beat Ootlambla. W. Fife, sr father of W. Fife, jr..lhe designer of the Shamrock, has given to the yachting papors of Englaad his opln- Ion of the reason that the Shamrock was so badly beaten by the Columbia. He says, to begin with, that the Sham rock was screwed up too tight, and then he finds fault with the steel boom which was carried by the Shamrock. He sajs that It sagged, and in the sagging affect ed the set of the mainsail to such an ex tent that the yacht refused to do the windward work for which she was de signed. In proof of this, he quotes the magnificent windward qualities of Emperor William's Meteor, which raced in English waters last summer and swamped all com petitors. Tha Meteor- pnntM a Rnllrf wooden boom, with no spring and no give, which kept the mainsail setting like a board. "TED" SULLIVAN GOSSIPS. Discourses of the Northwest and the Baseball Situation. "Ted" .Sullivan, the well-known writer on baseball topics In the Chicago Tribune, has been on the coast during several weeks last past, In the interest of the formation of a Northwestern professional baseball league. While his propositions and Ideas have found favor with the players and managers of the game at Portland and the bther cities of this section of the coun try, nearly all having professed a willing ness to embark In the project, there is a serious obstacle to the carrying through of the enterprise, in the difficulty of procur ing suitable grounds on which to play in this city. The other day, Mr. Sullivan got to talking about his trip to the North west, and was rather warm in his praise of our big slice of Uncle Sam's domains and the people he found here. Incidental ly, he alluded to the purpose of his visit. His First Visit. "I left Chicago," said he, "on December 28, on the Great Northern, for my first trip to the Pacific coast, and, after passing through the snowdrifts" of Minnesota, the cattle ranches of Dakota, sheep ranges of Montana, log camps of Washington, min ing .and lumber regions of Oregon, 'and the three-card monte men of Idaho, I landed In Portland. After one month's stay In the Pacific Northwest, I am deeply Impressed with the vast resources of this corner of the great American union, re sources that are destined to make it one of the richest sections within the confines of the country. "While the national game of baseball, with which I have been quite long identi fied, follows the flag, both being symboli cal and typical of our institutions and temperament, I notice that the flag is a little ahead of the game in some parts of 'the coast.' It is not that the love of baseball has left the hearts of the people far from it but that It Is lying dor mant, only to be brought to life by the magnetic touch of some enthusiast or votary of tho sport. A country that has no national outdoor game is on the way to physical decadence, and that Is surely not the situation here. On Eton's CrlcUet Field, "Tho Duke of Wellington wisely re marked, that the battle of Waterloo was won on tho cricket field of Eaton. An Englishman who would say aught against his national game of cricket Would be an anomaly; there are ery few of them who will He over the desks in their dingy offices to develop a humped back. In tho mad chase for pounds, shillings and pence, and to the sacrlfic of health and lung space. I was born and brought up on American soil, and I love every star and stripe of my flag, but I must give credit to the British people for their love of their national game, which makes them a hale, hearty and sturdy people. With a dense population of 35,000,000 people In Eng land, covering less square miles than Mon tana, Pennsylvania and NeW York, or even one county In the state of Texas, yet. In the heart of London, where real estate Is priceless, there are two great cricket fields Kensington oval and 'Lords' and for the government or city authori ties to Interfere with them would be con sidered -a desecration. TUlie for Baseball. "On the other hand, In some American cities, with a superabundance of unoc cupied land, grounds for ball-playing are hard to be got, principally on account of the real estate speculator. What I have observed In the cities of Spokane, Seattle, Tacoma and even the British Columbia towns, Victoria and Vancouver, indicates that they are ripe for professional base ball. Now, the thing is to give them what thoy want In that direction, arid In that connection I wish to say that the first llmo the Associated Press dispatches carry to the Eastern newspapers the results ot baseball contests in a professional league between Seattle, Tacoma, Portland and Spokane, then will the people of the Mid dle West and far East begin to realize the real importance of this great section of the country, in its sport-loving aspect. With all respect and kindness to the other cities, I am satisfied that, with a nice, clean team, playing snappy ball, the pat ronage of the Portland public would be equal to the best that could be found anywhere. I should greatly like to see a professional baseball league established In the Northwest on a first-class basis." AFTER. CUPS AND STAKES. American Oivniers Make Many En. tries in English Tarf Events. The 10 leading spring events on the Eng lish turf have received 30 nominations from the owners of American-bred horses. Sly Fox has been nominated for each and all of them. Mr. Dwyer disposed of this horse last fall, after many disappoint ments, but his new owner must have formed a good opinion of his abilities, not only for his speed, but also as a long distance runner, and he is entered In races from one mile up to two miles and a quarter. Mr. McDonald has strengthened hid string in England by shipping over A, N. B , that last season won such gdod races In the East as the May stakes at Brook lyn, the Larchmont stakes and Ramapo handicap at Morris Park. This colt ia entered In the London Cup at Alexander Park. Last ear J. E. McDonald had some jather hard luck with Renssalaer, who was tantalizlngly close at the finish of several good handicaps. Nevertheless he was a good bread-winner, as he landed over $000 in stakes. The season S. Pick ering, of Newmarket will have the hand ling of this gentleman's string. Messrs. Daniel and Farrel have also shipped to England, and among their lot Is the good colt Swlftmas, that wtm such races as the Kearney stakes and Citizen and Merchants' handicap at Saratoga last fall. The stable must think well of him, as he Is entered In the Jubilee stakes of fEO.000 that this year will be" run over one and one-fourth miles for the first time. Six American horses are down to try ferthe City and Suburban handicap, run at Epsom Downs, and it may be that the vlctbry of Parole In 1S79 will be dupli cated. Foxhall, as a. 3-year-old, ran sec- cod to Bend Or in 1SS1, which caused him to be heavily played for the Grand Prix de Paris, which he. won. One of Pierre Lorillard's importations, Montauk, by Strathmore Spinaway, has the -honor of being the nrst-Amerlcan-bred horse to be entered for the Grand Na tional steeple-chase, over four and one half miles of country, with 36 obstacles. HIS MARVELOUS SKILL. ' Wllshnry,Has"Xo Equal as an Ex hibition Chess Performer. "Harry N. Plllsbury, the great chess player," says the Chicago Tribune, "has been In Chicago taking a rest of a few days after a continuous series of engage ments for over two months. His tour has been productive of a great many brilliant games, particularly in his mar velous blindfold performances. His suc cesseverywhere has been almost uniform. He has played a greater number of game"? (from 12 to 16 blindfolded) than on his last year's tour, and notwithstanding the in creased number of boards, his record shows a greater percentage of wins. As an exhibition player, he certainly has no equal In the world today. "PIHsbury'3 memory is remarkable. Af ter an. -absence of 10 days in Ohio and Mlchiffan. he was asked to set up the po sitions of the men in several of the games left unfinished during his blindfolded seance here. As soon as the number ot the board was mentioned, he immediately proceeded to do so, although he had not thought about them since he had left here." TAKE BACK SEATS. Old-Time Jockeys Forced to Give Up Riding:. With the decline of the old school of riding and the advent of the lightweight, many of the old-time jockeys who, a. few years ago, were in the zenith of fame, have been forced to seek other means of making a livelihood. Jlmmle McLaugh lin is a well-known trainer. Ed Feaks and the Haywards, father and son, are also trainers. "Snapper" Garrison Is In the Insurance business; Ballard is a turf COURSE SELECTED FOR NATIONAL ROWING REGATTA. ," ' "" ' " ' "ll M! The national rowing regatta will be held ai New York this year, and Gotham sportsmen Interested in the event have decided on a course which will be a magnificent one from a spec tacular point, at leaef, and from the advantage it will afford to thousands to witness the races.

Scott's en try homo to victory In the Futurity, is a stable hand in Baltimore. Willie Ham and Johnny Lamle have a stable of their own, and are racing their string at New Orleans; Marty Bergen rides an occasional race, and has a thoroughbred or two of his own; Walter Wyburn is riding mimic races in a sport ing drama; Charley Ossler, crippled by a fall from a horse he was riding, is earning a precarious living on the race track; George Taylor is in the West train ing, and Hamilton is still riding, but With poor success. Too much prosperity, says the Brooklyn Eagle, was fatal to Hamilton. Fltzpatrlck, Jack Horton, Halloway, Prank Goodall and Harris Olney are all dead and forgotten. Ural has a laundry; Jimmy Lamle Is connected with a West ern stable; Cad Doggett Is training his brother's horses; Isaac Murphy, the great est judge of pace the turf has ever seen, is also dead. This will probably be the last year in the saddle for Fred Taral (the honest Dutchman) and of Lonnie Clayton. Increasing weight 'is the cause of their abandonment of the saddle. BOSTON COACHES IN DEMAND. Hub's Baseball Team. Suppljins Yale, Harvard and Other Colleges. Nichols, the great Boston pitcher, will coach the Yale baseball team this spring. Captain S. B. Camp andCatcher C. E. Sullivan, of the Yale team, met Nichols In Boston recently and a deal was com pleted, according to which "Nick" will go to New Haven for four weeks, com mencing some time after March 15. Nichols will give most of his time to the batteries, but will have an eye out for the players under the coaches' care and give the collegians a few points about training. Usually the Ideal train ing table of the professional player con tains about everything good to eat. Nich ols declined an invitation to take charge of the squad at the training .table. "That la a part of the game that I don't care to tackle," said "Nick." With Lewis at Harvard, and Nichols at Yale, the Boston player will be unusual ly Interested in the success of the two col leges. Fred Tenny is already at Brown, Bllf Clarke Is booked" for Princeton. "Chick" Stahl is at Notre Dame, and Captain Hugh Duffy will soon take charge of the Boston College boys, so that Man ager Selee will no doubt put off his South ern trip to the last moment. TRACK ATHLETES HANDICAPPED. Indecision Delays Preparation for Western College Meets, Candidates for the track teams at all tho various Middle Western colleges are at work training for the spring dual meets and the Western Intercollegiate champion ships, says the Chicago Tribune, but not $. word has been heard as yet from the Intercollegiate Association. Last spring the association recommended the abolition of the mile walk and the substitution of some other event, the twO-mile run being suggested. It Is a matter of considerable importance to the track men to know whether the walk will be retained, or whether the two-mile run or some other event will be substituted. ' For a time it will not make so much difference, but when It comes down to the actual training for specific events it will make a great deal. A walker naturally would be a candidate ,for the long run. where endurance counts for a great deal, but it will be a matter of some time to train a walker Into a runner, and that is the plan of several of the Western walk ers, provided the two-mlie run Is substi tuted, hut at present there is no decision either way- , ' Worse Than "Was Thought. The .dangers of bicycle riding," such aa varicose veins, enlargement of the heart, a reversion back through scorchers of the type of our simian ancestors, if not, of spinal curvature, have aU been pointed out. But now comes a Russian' physi cian who declares that long rides on the wheel result in parasthesla In the digits and impaired sensibility and paresis in the intercrossed and adductor poinds. It IS even worse than haa been Imagined, BOWLERS AND BOWLING OFFICIAL RESULTS IX "BIG FOUR COXIEST AT HAND. Portland Teasas Preparing: to Meet Seattle aad' Tacoma Bowlers on, Washington Alleys. The official scores of the "Big- Four" con test have been received by Secretary Mal lory, but have not as yet been fully tabu lated. The scores on pins have been figured out, and show that none of the teams did as well as was anticipated before the con test began. The Y. M. a A. team leads on team totals by" a large plurality, being nearly 400 pins ahead Of Illlhee. the latter taking second place. The Dalles third, 160 below Illlhee, and Astoria last. 47 less than The Dalles. Every one of these teams should be- good for a team average above 40, and it Is the general opinion that they are very evenly matched. Individual work Is a much greater dis appointment than that of the teams. It was confidently predicted that at least 10 of the contestants would be above 42, at f the end of the contest, and the high man considerably above 45. This proved to be a wild guess, as the hlgn man, Berger, of the Y. M. C. A, has- but 43.79. This Is the only score that can be tanked as an es pecially good one, and It Is far ahead of anything made by any of the other bowl ers. Kurtz, Barker, Magison. Baldwin and Whittlesey are above the 40 mark, but the rest are scattered considerably. Barker Is entitled to second place, as Kurtz bowled but 12 games, and all On the home alleys. The detailed scores have not been completed yet, so it is at present impossl- ble to announce percentage standing We will probably be able to do so next week. Complete returns of official scores in the association championship have not been received by the association, but will all be In by the end of the week, and summaries will appear next Sunday. Y. M. C. A. has taken possession of the 'Feldenhelmer Big Four trophy," and will retain possession untli the team Is beaten. Permanent ow&ershjp is determined by three winnings, and the contest will be held annually. The contest has been a satis factory one to the contestants, and all promise to do better work next season.

The Commercials put up much smaller games against Multnoraaa oa the 3d mat than the same team did against Arnogtoo, and Maltaeaah won three out of four games easily. The home, team seoqed a fine total In the, second game, whleh was the highest of met night, and wos by ntae pins. Multaomm also g4t it3wbest game here, but was unable to overtake the heme team. The result assured Multnomah ibst place among the Portland teams when they leave for the Sound, and it remains to be seen whether the trip will make any material change among them. Craft, ef Multnomah, again did splendid bowling, securing- a total of 3M, He has more than fulfilled the predwUefes ef bra value to the team, and has contributed more to its success than any other man on It Buckman and Idleman continue to do good work, and it looks as if the raoe between these three for first place on the team will be "very close. Leaving out Hut night's scores, they stand, with 12 games bowled, as. follows: Craft, 572; Buckman. 537; Idleman, 536. The team, as a whole, la doing fine work, and If It is maintained throughout the contest. It should Wm out, although, not counting the result of Sat urday's fames, there is- a difference of but one game in its favor, compared with the Seattle Bowling CluV team, which new seems to be the most ''dangerous, team oa the Sound. t Up NBrtfi. On the 3d Inst, the "Onion Club team, ef Tacoma, bowled at the Seattle Athletic Club, and lost four games te the home team, which put up somewhat teipreveA scores, which were evenly distributed, the high men, Bowes and ChurohMl, scorhg 170. and the low man, Barrager, 189. AH of Tacoma'3 games were low. TinMng again led the team with 156. The home team scored good games, all except the second being well above 40. On the afternoon of the 3d. Taeoma and Seattle Bowling Club bowled off the tie game made the week before. One frame was to decide, but the teams tied three times, when Tacoma. finally won by two pins. This game wa3 a valuable one to the Bowling Club, as It would have tied that team with Multnomah. The bowl-off was intensely exciting, and aX the f rasses were high. The deckling frame stood 23 to 27. Multnomah leads all the teams in the interstate match on total pins so far, being- almost two full pins ahead of the Seattle bowling team, which takes sec ond place. This does not include the scores made last night. Both Commercial and Seattle Athletic Club have bowled 18 games, but the other four have but 12 games each recorded The. averages, with out Saturday's games, are as follows: Multnomah, 43J2, Seattle Bowling Club, 41.15; Commercial, 40.09; Seattle Atbletffc Club, 39.25: Arlington, 38.68; TaComa, 36.31 In individual standing. Craft is high for Multnomah, with 47.67; Gillette for Seattle Bowling Club, with 45: Cullison for Com mercial, with 43.75; Mays for Arlington, with 42.67; Tinllng for Tacoma, wltji 4.W, and Barrager for Seattle Athletic Club, with 40.19. Barrager leads Churchill by one pin. There is a great scramble for percentage standing, and at the present time Craft Buckman and Barrager are the most promising candidates. This will be ari Interesting week for the bowlers. The three Portland teams Mult nomah. Arlington and Commercial have secured, a special car, and will leave for Puget sound Friday morning, where they will bowl the following scheduled games. Northern Schedule. Friday Arlington at Seattle Athletic Club, Commercial at Tacoma, and Mult nomah at Seattle Bowllnsr Club. Saturday afternoon Arlington at Seat tle Bowling Club, Commercial at Seattle Athletic Club, and Multnomah at Taeoma. Saturday night Arlington at Taeoma, Commercial at Seattle Bowling Club, and Multnomah at Seattle Athletic ClHb. Multnomah will be kept on the move, as tho team must bowl at Seattle Friday night at Tacoma Saturday afternoon, and at Seattle Saturday night. -As they have but two alleys at Tacoma, it is very prob able that the team will be unable to get back to Seattle Saturday night in time te bejrin at 8 o'clock, but no doubt the Ath letic Club, under the circumstances, wiH not object to a reasonable delay. Owing to the Inability of some of the bowlers to get away, all the Portland teams will be weaker on the Sound than at home. Each of the teams will lose from two to four of the regular members, and consequently will do exceedingly well to break even in the 12 games eaeh siays on the Washington alleys. Many fear very low scores at the Seattle Athletic Club's alleys, which have a reputation for slowness, but they expect to make uh tha loss on pins at the new BowMng Club's1 alleys.

Biddiaa- Hard, With Gee Material, fer AtUetle Championship at the MttdSe West. The problem track-attritrtms is at pres ent one of the most Important nUors before the ooMkgs oafcuts. With long sea sons before them, the matter of Keeping a toamf athletes who w compote in twj or Uftee events In a track meet in gxd condttlsa and be readyf tor aX emergencies has become a task which 1b even greater than that of the Jsta tratowr Net alone doea the eolfeg team trainer have to contend with the task of getting the- oM men mto snap, but Um devep ment and sefwatton of man competent to ftll the ptoses of those who have 'eft school, and the getting of those wbo can best stand -the strain of a long track sea sea, are causing eanalderabte worry to tie Lmea who try to bring out athlotss to meet own f opposing eellegss. Heretofore tho training of college ati letes haevnot begun untn the ffiwt dajs of spring, when a little sutdsor work was permfttsd. 2fw it is radnaOy different With tlpe end ef tha Chttetmas vacat'on. there osmss the announeamsnt that a t studonw who wish to try isr the track team must report at a certain hour la dose meets havs boon rteoenfrinle for this and with the laursts ts fee gamed by indo r work on the board tracks, the boys have nt only, by their awn free will, start -d training, but tho trainer, seotng the valaa of work before the outdoor season ca a out his candidates and sots them to work.

Indoor aad Onvtdeer Work. Often the question has been raLed throughout tho college world: "Is the in door man as good as an outdoor man anl cam an Indoor man equal his marks oh t 3 Sth" In the Middle West tins qu?sU n s been answered often. Take the ex ample of B. B. Smith, the crack mile Tin ner of the "maroon" team last year II 3 made a record at the Notre Dame in 3 or meet which, at that time, was consider .. a wonderful Indoor petormance and ( w months later he not only equaled his mark and lowered It on several occasions but .a several trials en Manman field be ga.a every evidence of being able to break a y Indoor record for tho event In the case of sprinters and sho't-dl.-tance men, tho queetton also has been ai swered affirmatively. W. A. Maloney cf the "maroons." created a place for him self by his indoor work. His battles on tha indoor path were equally as good as tfoso on the cinder traok. Not only can th33 eases be sited, but hundreds, of other mer irt the Western colleges last year proved themselves to be good performers boti Indoors and outdoors. The development of a track team I3 ore of the most Interesting tasks before tho trainer. The success ot A. A. Stagg, of ti- university of Chicago, in developing mei and hi his athletic "finds," has erafe! considerable interest among West" . schools, many of wWch are pursuing fo methods of the system which Stagg uses Although the system used by the mar 301 coach la hot Ws own. there are enoug' changes in the method m use by him to disguise It and make It seem different from any that Is In vogue at the prese" time at any of the colleges of the country Interests His Men. iith a comparatively small body cf aten to choose from, Stagg has undubt edfy tho record for developing a team o it of nothing-. It Is on this basts the untv slty man has been given all the ordi Starting out in January with a lot ot men who take gymnasium work simp because thoy have to, Stagg begins as tern of work within a week which tak3 off all the sdge of the compulsory side of the work and gets the men Interest 3 1 their task by holding trials now and t -Unconsctouslr, tho men show what ti" csm do, and before the end of the we the eoach has h his well-trained eje a future for each of Ms men. Three or four classes make up abou1 60 men, all of whom he carefully wat h" and notes every particular of their wrk Toward the end of the month he calls oi his old men and has tLem work wim l-n new men, wHh the reeult that the nov s learn a few tricks and also get a f w pe4nt8 toward the development of ti -stride. Bvery week day of the month f s takes placa, and the men respond to t o work wtth such interest that It gives 1 e coach considerable encouragement a" 3 with the assistance of the track capta a the work of developing a team for Li3 year goes en. The best of the new men are taken out and grven trials to see what they can do and one of the best tricks worked in the university gymnasium Is that of sending the now men around one mp of the tracs to do their best Although the record is . the neighborhood of 15 4-8 seconds, 17 sec ends for a new man is regarded by the eoacbes and tho captain as being a credl' ibte mark. The freshman or novice whi oueceeds hr making it In less time than sfll Is ah-saoV on his way to success. Bringing; Out Sprinter.

But this hs not all. Tho men are not stopped at this particular point, for the next trick te psrform that of gojrg around two or throe times, and so on up to the- quarter mile, and tho man Who can go a quarter on tho university track in keg" than a minute has a good chance av the track team. Those who can do It j.a less are reasonably sure of a chance 1 try for tho relay team which will gn t Philadelphia this spring to most the teams of other schools Tho long-dtetance men are found by o i or means. Usually it Is the man wbo - a. stand the pace set by the old men. hut t a man wbo can stand tha Jog of 12 or l laps and does it in good form stands e-- . a setter chance. Tho development of ? ht so men Is a little harder taek, for it is i s er and few of them are turned out S 1 Stagg has a number f Ms last ya'3 team te refer upon, and he has aev ri. promtstoer mod ef tats year's class upon whom he can depend.
