DUAL TRACK MEET
AT EUGENE MAY 3
Struggle Between Oregon and
Stanford Will Decide the
Coast Championship.
FORMER HAS ADVANTAGE
Prophets of Athletic World Freely
Predict Cardinals Will Meet 'Wa
terloo In Coming North Sport
In the Pacific Northwest.
Definite arrangements have at last been
made for a dual track meet between the
teams of Stanford and Oregon. The con
test will be held In Eugene. Friday, May
3, and if Indications count for anything.
it will be the best field meet ever pulled
o(T In the Pacific Northwest. Those who
keep In touch with the athletic situation
on this Coast are aware of the unusual
strength of the Oregon team, and predic
tions are freely made that Stanford will
meet her Waterloo when her athletes
come north.
Trainer Haywaxd and the members
of the Oregon team are not so sanguine,
however, for they realize that Stanford
has a large, well-balanced aggregation,
and Is fltrong In every event.
Oregon has a number of star perform,
era that win undoubtedly win many first
places and will have a considerable ad
vantage In holding the meet upon her
own campus.
Stanford's team is composed of veteran
athletes of more than ordinary ability
and althouRh the wearers of the cardi
nal may not win as many firBt places as
the Oregonians, they are almost certain
to take more of the seconds and thirds.
The list of events has not yet been agreed
upon by the managers, but It will doubt
less include the two-mile run an event
which Oregon has never used In her
Northwest meets. This advantage will
be offset by the advantage which Oregon
will gain in having experienced men in
the discus-throw, an event which Is not
in voruo at the California colleges.
There may be a relay raoe, but this
matter has not been settled.
In any event, the contest will be a
close one. and as tt will doubtless decide
the Coast championship for the year
ISO? the young athletes will fight hard
for every point.
The Southerners should be in better
condition than Hayward's men, for they
have been training longer and have had
the advantage of a mild Winter. Out
door work in; the Northwest, during the
months of March and April, is carried on
under many difficulties. The Oregon men
have an indoor track and are already
in training. Haywood hopes to have them
in good form by May 3, although he could
doubtless obtain better results if the
naet were held two or three weeks later.
Kelly Should Win Sprints.
There has already been a good deal of
speculation as to the outcome of several
or the events. Kelly is looked upon as a
w:r,avT- of the WO and 230-yard sprints and
the broad Jump, but Stanford seems rea
sonably sure of the remaining places in
these events. Moores, the Oregon cap
tain, is a rant sprinter, but hardly the
eaul of Holman and McNeil, of Stan
ford. Aside from Kelly, Oregon, has no star
performers in the broad Jump, while Cap
tain McFnrland, of Stanford, haa a record
of 22 feet 8 Inches. The hurdle races be
tween McForland end Moores promise to
be very close. McFarland has records of
lti seconds and 25 4-6 seconds in these
events, while Moores is credited with 16
and 25 2-6. IWwards and Rawls. Stan
ford's middle-distance runners, have rec
ords of 61 seconds in the 410, while Moun-
drell has a record of 2 minutes in the
half-mile event. Stanford has a speedy
mtler in Miller, while Nash holds
record ot 10 minutes, 27 seconds for the
two-mile evont.
Stanford looks stronger than Oregon in
a!l these long-distance events, although
word comes from Eugene that Hayward
hits a promising bunch of men in both the
mile and the half-mile runs.
Stanford appears to be stronger in the
high Jump, but in the pole-vault Lana
ran and Moullen have equal records.
in McKlnnoy, Hug and Zacharlas,
Oregon hue a trio of weight-throwers
that will undoubtedly win a majority
of the points In these events. McKin
ney, with a record of 45 feet 6V4 inches,
should win the 6hotput, while Hug
and Crawford (Stanford) seem to be
evenly matched for second place. Craw
ford can throw the hammer over 140
fet. but Hug and Zacharlas can do
equally as well. In the dlsoue throw
Hug and McKtnney Should t&lLe first
honors.
Oregon Hs an Even Chance.
Trainers Hayward and Moulton may
have some surprises to spring at the
last minute, and the calculations of
the wise ones may be badly shattered.
Ai far as first places are concerned.
Oregon seems to have an even chance,
and Hayward may be able to turn
few unexpected tricks for seconds and
thirds. The progress of the) Oregon
m'jn will be watched with interest,
and if they succeed in defeating the
crack team of Stanford, they will be
entitled to no little credit. Stanford
haa a large squad of men from which
her team will be Belected, and Ore-
gon'a squad of candidates is larger
than usual this season. Many Stan
ford alumni who live in this city have
announced their intention of going to
Eugeno for the meet, and there will be
large delegations of visitors from oth
er cities.
The Eugene merchants have agreed
to close their stores on May S. and the
little university city will enjoy a half
holiday in honor of the event.
Seattle Indoor Sleet Next Friday.
Elaborate preparations have been
made by the Seattle Athletic Club for
the big indoor meet of next Friday
evening. All the athletic clubs of the
I'uget Sound country and British Co
lumbla will be represented. A number
Of the Washington colleges have ar
ranged to send teams. Tho University
of Washington will enter a lull list o
men in every event, and Trainer Con
it-ear thinks his men will win. Mult
nomah will send James, Livingstone
and May, and the Lniversity of Ore
gon will be represented by Dan Kelly,
James will appear In the weigh
events, Livingstone in the hurdles, and
Mny in the long-distance runs. Kelly
will enter the 100 and 300-yard sprints.
This meet promises to be the bigges
indoor event ever held on the Coast,
and it Is almost certain that a num
ber of records will be smashed.
Local interest is centering in the
Columbia indoor meet, which is sched
uled for April 13. The University o
Oregon will send a number of men to
this contest, and there will be good
sized teams from Corvallls, Willamette
and Pacific. All the local athletic or
there will be number of events for
academic and grammar school athletes.
The annual California-Stanford meet
will be held on April 20, on the Berke
ley campus. There was a lengthy dis
pute as to the place where this year's
meet should be heldt Berkeley claiming;
the meet for her own campus, upon the
letter of the inter. collegiate agree
ment. Stanford, on the other hand,
contended that the meet should be at
Palo Alto, and that the spirit of the
agreement rather than the letter
should be obeyed.
The whole trouble arose because the
earthquake of last year made It neces
sary to abandon the annual meet- The
controversy as to this year's meet
lasted for several months, and for a
time it seemed that the contest would
not be held, as no agreement could be
reached.
The Berkeley-Stanford contest will
be held just two weeks before Staa-
ord s meet with Oregon, and the out
come will be watched with Interest by
Hayward's-men, as It will give them a
line on the strength of their Palo
Alto rivals.
ATHLETES BACK FROM TRIP
Manager Ren nick Eays Dranga Was
Not Knocked Out.
Boxing Instructor Fred Rennlck in
charge of the Multnomah athletes, who
participated in the recent Northwest
boxing and wrestling tournament, ar
rived from Spokane this morning. Ju
lian Hughes, who won the 115-pound
wrestling championship of the North-,
west stopped over at Tekoa. to visit his
brother and will not return for several
days. All the boys were well Dleased
over the treatment received at Spokane
and say that Wrestling Instructor Bul
llvant and other members of the Spo
kane club did everything to make their
tay pleasant.
In regard to Dranga 8 dereat Dy
Parsons, Fred Rennlck had several
things to say that were not published
In the reports at the time of the fight:
'The report that Dranga was out
classed 1 not true," he said. "Dranga
was in the fight every minute till the
end and he was exchanging wallop for
wallop. At the opening of the flgkt
Parsons rushed across the ring and
umped fairly on top of Dranga and
smashed him a number of savage blows
before the Portland boy was on his
feet. Of course this rather dazed
Dranga, but he held his own till the
end of the"rotmd.
'Dranga in a fight always gives the
Impression that be is almost out, but
his is his style of fighting and does
not Indicate anything. He came up
strong in the second round and until
the unfortunate ending of the fight he
had received only three effective blows.
Two of these were on the side of the
head and one in the ribs. It was while
the boxers were In a close mix-up in
the second round that the alleged
knockout rranch is said to have been
landed, but I was In the ring and I
know positively that Dranga was not
hit a single punch on the chin. As the
boys closed Parsons placed both
hands on Dranga's chest and gave him
a hard push which sent the Portland
boy backward through the ropes. His
head hit the bare floor with terrific
force and I knew from the force of the
fall that he was out. He made no at
tempt to rise and was counted out. I
will try to arrange another watch be
tween these boxers and it is a safe bet
that there will be no knockout In the
second round."
Edward E. Smith, of Multnomah, lost
to L. W. Venables, of Seattle after 15
minutes of the hardest kind of wrest
ling. Venables could not place the
Bhoulders of the plucky Bralth on the
mat and was awarded the contest on
his more aggressive work In the early
part of the match. It Is the opinion of
Portland men who were present that
Venables should have been awarded
the decision at the end of the first 13
minutes, but the referee could not make
a decision and called for an extra three
minutes. In the last three minutes
Smith easily had the better of the argu
ment and was on top of venables dur
ing the last two minutes. The Seattle
wrestler was completely exhausted and
had the bout gone a few minutes longer
there Is little doubt that Smith would
have scored a fall. After calling for
ttrit time to make his decision Ren
nlck and others are of the opinion that
the decision should have gone to femun
stanshurr. nf Spokane, never Had s
chance against Julian Hughes and the
crack Portland midget added another
victory to his career by winning a fall
after 11 minutes of fast and rurious
wrestling. Rennlck entered Hughes In
the 115-pound boxing class, Dut as no
opponent could be found to go against
him no medal was awarded In thlB
class. Hughes is both a boxer and a
wrestler and had the 115-pound boxing
class not been left out It Is probable
that Multnomah would have captured
another medal.
The next boxing and wrestling meet
will be the inter-club meet between
Multnomah and Spokane at Spokane
Anril 12. Edgar Frank. Ed Johnson,
Jack Walsh and possibly another of the
club's old standbys will enter this con
test, Spokane will have to hustle if
she hopes to win this meet as every
man entered from Multnomah is at the
head of his class. In every meet held
this year Multnomah has been com
pelled to switch her men at the last
minute or enter one or more novices.

DUBDALE'S CLEVER
SCHEIE EXPOSED
Fat Magnate Plans to Bring
Northwest League Teams
Into Portland.
GENEROSITY IS A BLUFF
Yet Local Fans Might Attend Exhi
bition Games Just for Cnrioslty.
Tacoma Angel Up Against
a Losing Game.
bt wn.1, o. Macrae.
President ' Lucas and D. E. Dugdale
have found an angel for the Tacoma ball
team. Any way, this le the story the
Northwest League moguls have given out
to the baseball scribe in Tacoma and Se
attle. His came Is Prince and it is as
serted that he will come through with
the coin and be president of the Tacoma
ttaseball Club while his money is being
spent. Gregory Shreeder, the former
president, who could not raise $4000, will
cling to a big bundle of the stock, how
ever. Now this 4s not the story that I get
from Tacoma. My Tacoma informant
gives It out that the Tacoma situation Is
still up in the air and that Dugdale and
Jucas are worried to a frazzle over the
situation. It is hard to believe that Ta
coma will be without a ball team this sea
son. Civic pride will hardly stand for
this. To have it published broadcast that
Tacoma could not support a ball team
and that Bellingham could, would be a
nice story for the Seattle and Belling-
harn papers to gloat over. Tacoma Is not
without its quota of 'loyal baseball fans.
Prince, if he' is the man who is going to
put up his money. Is one of them, for lie
going into a losing proposition and
knows it, unless he has been deceived.
Prince Is In the tobacco business. His
money comes easy and therefore he should
be willing to spend it without a qualm.
It Is really very funny to see how
quickly Dugdale Jumped at the chance
to enter into a reciprocal baseball fight
with the Portland team. After the sched
ule had reached Seattle- and the fans
and .moguls had noted that the Coasters
were going to drive the Northwest League
into the outlaw corral by playing games
in Seattle, foxy old "Dug" eaw a ohance
to break into Portland.
Dugd ale's Deep -Laid Scheme.
His offer to allow the Pacifla Coast
-League teams that play In Seattle the
use of his ball park, on the face of it,
looked like generosity Itself. But behind
the offer was a deep-laid plot to break
into Portland once more with Northwest
League baseball teams. Really it was
clever of you Dug, but it is hardly to be
believed that Judge McCredle win be
caught by such open work stuff.
It is evident that Dugdale and Lucas
are counting on invading Portland with
clubs from the Northwest League. Un
doubtedly they will be palmed off as ex
hibition games and the games will be
played between the two best balanced
teams in the Lucas league. The motive
for this is simple. Dugdale and Lucas
evidently are of the opinion that If the
Portland fans get a taste of the kind of
ball that Is to be dished up by teams in
the Northwest League, they will cry for
more of it.
There is nothing to prevent the Dug-dale-Luoas
invasion but the railroad fare
and the hotel bills that would have to ba
paid. I will even venture to say that
the fans would turn out in force to see
such games, that is, they would If the
games were played while McCredie's
team was on the road. Curiosity will at
tract people when nothing else will. A
true test of what the Portland fans think
of the Northwest League would be to
have Lucas invade Portland when our
champions are at home. The difference
In the gate receipts would be the test.
Local fans axe getting a bit nervous
over the Portland outlook and already the
croakers are out in force. That not all
of McCredie's men have reported at Sa
linas is causing no end of worry to the
fans, but they are no worse off than the
McCredlea. The failure to show up of
Gum. Casey and the rest of those who
were expected is not the fault of the Mc
Credlea. but the fault of the railroads.
Pearl Casey wired for his ticket.
Error Was the Railroad's.
Instead of sending It to Casey's address
in Denver the railroad company sent the
letter containing the ticket to the general
delivery. It was not until Casey began
clamoring for his ticket that the mistake
was discovered. Gum's ticket also found
its way to the general delivery.
Another thing that must be worrying
the heart out of "Manager Mac" Is the
rain. So far the weather has not given
McCredle a chance to make one good try
out of his men. It is true they look good

of "dope" on the new men and figure
them above the rest of the players in the
league. In -the breast of every local fan.
there is a hope and a wish that every
new man that McCredle has signed will
prove himself a star.
Doping players that have been signed

and predicting that they are wonders be

FOR FIVE YEARS
X HE Stevens-Duryea has had a record of success marred by NO FAIL
URES, and without a blemish. Let us repeat that: NO Failures.
When a Stevens-Duryea agent talks to a prospective purchaser, he doesn't
get the conversation going smoothly, only to have cold water thrown on
the whole by having to answer unpleasant questions such as "I an) told
that your last year's car was very unsatisfactory, what was the mat
ter with it?"
Nor is the Stevens-Duryea Agent ever embarrassed by having to ex
plain, "Why is it that you are using bevel drive gear this year, when last
year you claimed that bevel gears were so much more wasteful of power
than chains."
Nor does anyone ever say, just as Mr. Stevens-Duryea Agent Is get
ting especially enthusiatsic, "I was talking to you last year, and at that
time you claimed that there were a number of things wrong about that car
which you have 'perfected' in the new model."
: It's easy very easy yes, deceptively easy, to write up ads and frame
up talks which picture the car so attractively as to make sales, but MY I
how these statements do come home to roost if the Public find that they i-re
NOT founded on fact and won't hold water. So we say again, NO FAIL
URES mar the past record of the Stevens-Duryea from the day five years
ago, when the first of this line of now famous cars made its appearance,
and despite all the strong statements we have committed ourselves to,
time has never shown any of them to be incorrect, therefore the Agent
who sells the Stevens-Duryea is saved many, embarrassing explanations.
