STANFORD TAGTIGS
Enthusiasts of the Northwest
Hope to Have Dual Meet

about Kelly's going East to meet the
sprinters of the Eastern colleges. If
Kelly Is wise, he will make these East
erners come to Oregon for a race. He Is
certainly entitled to some consideration

?
General Gossip Concerning-the Men
Who Are Helping to Maintain
High Standard of Sports in
This Section of Country.
AUiletic enthusiasts in all parts of the
Northwest deplore the action of the Stan
ford athletlo committee In refusing to
nllow the Stanford athletes to "come
North for a dual meet with Oregon.
Since the first announcement of the
meet some weeks ago there had been
considerable speculation as to Its out
come, and It was pretty generally agreed
that the chances of victory were about
even.
The meet promised to be the most in
teresting affair of Its kind ever held in
the Northwest, and It would undoubtedly
have drawn a large crowd. The Oregon
men themselves are very much disap
pointed, because they really saw an op
portunity to defeat their Southern rivals
and to place themselves in line for the
Coast championship.
Both Stanford and Oregon have a num
ber of splendid athletes, and there la
every reason to believe that a meet be
tween the two teams would have marked
an epoch In the athletlo history of the
West. The Oregon management is now
endeavoring to schedule a meet with the
University of California, to take the
place of the Stanford-Oregon meet of
May .
Several weeks ago California refused
to consider a proposition similar to the
one that Oregon Is now offering, and it
is highly Improbable that Oregon will
meet either one of the California col
leges this year. There is some talk of
a meet between Oregon and Olympic,
but It Is sid that the Oregon faculty
Is opposed to such a contest. Olymplo
has an exceptionally strong team this
year, having already defeated the ath-
letes of both California and Stanford.
Olympic has a youngster named Glarner.
who recently lowered the Coast record
for the SSO-yard run and later won the
440-yard run against a number of fleet
footed Stanfordltes. In Powell and
Cheek; Olymplo has a pair of fast hurd
lers, while Snedlgar, formerly the cham
pion sprinter at Berkeley, Is a swift man
In the short runs.
Christie a Knocker.
Snedlgar Is one of Walter . Chrlstle'a
proteges, and when Pan Kelly made his
record of 9 S-fe at Spokane last June
Christie was one of the first and loudest
knockers of the anvil chorus proclaiming
from the housetops that Kelly was not
capable of running In 10 seconds and
that Snedlgar was the fastest splinter
on the Coast. It must have been rather
humiliating to Christie when he saw Jack
Holman, a Portland lad who Is attending
Stanford, show his heels to this renowned
man Snedlgar In the Olympto-Stanford
meet pf last week. Holman won an easy
race from the Olympic man In the com
paratively slow time of 10 1-6. "Dad"
Moulton believes he has a comer in young
Holman and there Is every reason to
believe, that ha will be running In 10 flat
by the end of another season.
A meet between Oregon and Olympic
would give Kelly a chance to run with
Snedlgar. Oregon has two other sprint
ers Moores and Huston who would
make things mighty Interesting for the
Callfornlan, any statements from Chris
tie to the contrary notwithstanding. If
the Olympic aggregation Is taken on by
Oregon, Charley Parsons, the speedy man
from Southern California, may accom
pany the team to Eugene. Kelly and
Parsons are, regarded as among tbe fast
est men In America today, and a raoe
between these fleet-footed lads would
prove a great drawing card.
Despite the fact that the meet with
Stanford has been called off, Oregon still
has a very Interesting schedule, and some
chances to display the full strength of
her team. The Euireno athletes will hold
dual meets with Pullman and Corvallls,
and posslhly Whitman and will go to
Prattle for the big Oregon-Washington-Idaho
meet on June 1. From the showing
mnde at the Columbia meet last Satur
day. It Is evident that Oregon has a von.
diM'fnlly strong team. Hayward has not
yet developed any first-place men for the
440-yard dash and mile run. but he has
two promising men In Reed and Piatt,
while Woods, the half-mile man. Is a
runner of great promise.
Oregon did not really have an oppor
tunity to show the full strength of her
team at the Columbia meeet for the low
hurdle race; the discus throw and the
hammer throw were not on the pro
gramme. With a full list of events and
all her men In fighting trim, Oregon
could make things Interesting for many
of the teams of the East and Middle
West. Kelly, Moores, Hug, Zacharlas
and MrKlnney are men that can win
points in any meet. Everybody knows
Kelly and knows what he can do.
Moores a Good Man.
Next to this fleet-footed champion.
Moores is probably the fastest sprinter
In the Kprthwest. He Is also a
good man In the hurdles. as Is
Kuykend-lt, his running mate. McKtnney
promlses to break the Coast record in
the shot-put before the season ends, and
Zacharlas and Hug will be heard frem
In the hammer-throw. At the present
time Oreson looks like a winner as far as
the Northwest is concerned, but Wash
ington and Pullman are both figuring on
handing a lemon to the Eugene lads.
Washington made a fine, showing at the
recent Indoor meet at Seattle, and Pull
man Is turning out a number of very
clever track athletes. These men will
have to hurry, however. If they overtake
the speedy Oregon bunch.
Corvallis still has her reliable distance
runners. DeVolt and Greenhaw. The
"Agtties" have a promising high Jumper
In Chapman and a first-class vaulter In
Swann, but beyond this quartet the Cer
vallisites have no first-place men. There
are some promising youngsters on "Dad"
Tritie's teuvn. however, and by another
season they will worry their Eugene
rivals. The State University will lose a
number of its best athletes when the
class of 190? graduates, and, unless Hay.
ward has some surprises In store, he
will have to work hard to down the Ag
ricultural College team next year.
Washington has several promising
freshmen, besides a majority of her point
winners of last year. Trainer Conlbear la
enthusiastic over Washington prospects
and believes he has a fighting chanco to
down Oregon. Conlbear recently expressed
his opinion In regard to the sprinting
ability of Dan Kelly. Ha considers
Kelly nothing more than "a good ten
second man," and adds that Parsons is
faster than the Oregon sprinter. The
efforts of rival trainers to belittle Kelly
are rather amusing. In spite of tha
knockers Kelly keeps on winning his

Oakland played rattling good baseball,

They found Schimpf easily after his field

The Beaver slabster was found for nine
safe drives, but at that he pitched far
better ball than the score would indicate.
Portland started out with two hits. A

looked rosy for the Northerners with
tow on bases and nobody down. But Van

making a double play and putting the

WATKINS SELLS FINE DOG
CHAMPION EDGECOTE PEER IS
BOUGHT BY PHILADELPHIA.
Famous Bull Terrier, One of Best of
His Breed, Will Be Taken East.
Price Not Revealed.
Frank B. Watklns has sold his Cham
plon bull terrier Edgecote Peer, one of
the best bull terrier dogs in the United
States, to W, K. Kendrlck, a Phila
delphia fancier. Mr. Kendrlck was Judge
of the dog show In New York and Phila
delphia of last February and when he
saw Edgecote Peer, whom Mr. Watklns
shipped East to take part in the Phila
delphia bull, terrier show, he at once
began negotiations for the purchase of
Peer. Mr. Watklns at first refused to
put a price on bis bench-show winner,
but when Mr. Kendrlck made him. his
last offer it was at such a price that
Mr. Watklns eould not resist. The pur
chase price is not given, at the request
of Mr. Kendrlck.
Edgecote Peer was shipped yesterday
to his new owner. Since Mr. WatRtns
has owned this wonderful bull terrier
he has captured all of the bull terrier
prizes that have been offered at all of
the -bench shows held on the Coast. Mr.
Watklns did not send Peer to tbe East
em shows until last February, but all
the Judges that had awarded champion
ships to the dog begged the owner to
enter Peer in the big shows of New York
and Philadelphia. Mr. Watklns finally
secured a handler whom he eould trust
hla valuable" dog with and entered Peer
in the bull terrier show held at Phila
delphia, with the result that ha beat
every dog In the show. One of the Judges
that awarded Peer tke Philadelphia prise
was Mr. Kendrlck, and the fact that
Peer was a Portland product caused the
Eastern bull terrier fanciers to sit up
and take notice. Mr. Watklns yesterday
in epeaklng of selling tbe dog said: "I
had made up my mind never to sell
Peer, but he was a fighter and a dog
that could not be trusted with a kennel
keeper. I was not situated so that f
could care for htm myself. He was too
valuable to take any chances with, and
when Mr, Kendrlck made me the very
flattering offer for the dog I deemed it
best to sen him. Mr. Kendrlrk Is a
man of considerable wealth and has a
fine kennel of bull terriers, so I am satis
fied that Peer will not only have a good
home, but he will be given a chance at
the big shows, a thing that X eould not
have given him. I have two dogs that
have been whelped to him Iris', my new
dog, and Oregon Sunshine 1& Peer will
be represented In Portland by his
family.''
Australian Pugilist Arrives in San Francisco
THE much vaunted Australian pu
gilist, Bill Squires, arrived on the
steamer Ventura in San Francisco
shortly after 8 o'clock Wednesday
morning. At first sight, says a San
Francisco sporting writer. Squires is
not very impressive, as he is much
shorter In stature than our heavy
weight fighters. But he has remark
ably broad shoulders, a powerful chest
and lopg arms. Reynolds, his manager,
claims that squires In Australia is re
garded as having an ldwal fighting fig
ure. Said Reynolds:
"Over there we like a man who car
ries himself like Bob .Fltzslmmops, a
slinkey man, who slouches and who
swings his arms like a gorilla when
he walks. We have no use for a man
who stands up straight, like Jack
O'Brien, for instance, as though he
were posuig."
Reyiolds went on to Bay: "We had a
fine trip over, a bit slow to be sure, but
as Squires was sick only two. days out
we heartily enjoyed the voyage.
"When wo left Australia Squires
weighed about 17s pounds, and I do
not think he has lost any weight on
tne trip over. I have been given to
understand that some time today we
will receive an ofTer to fight Burns.
But we will not under any circum
stances consider offers of any kind for
at least two or three days. -We intend
to go to some country place near by
and lay up until Squires has gotten
rid of his sealegs. We were under the
Impression that we would not be of
fered a match until after the Burns'
O'Brien battle at Loe Angeles."
Here Squires interrupted to- say that
In Australia he was always in condi
tion and ready to take on a man at a
day's notice. As this was his first long
sea trip he thought that he s'hould be
allowed at least seven or eight weeks
In which to condition himself.
"If this is the kind of weather you
always have." continued the fighter, "I
shall have no trouble in getting into
condition, as the climate is very much
like the sort we have, bright and sun
shiny, with the air eool. We thought,
of course, from the reports In Australia
that we would run Into a fog bank 50
miles out from San Francisco and that
we would have to And our way through
it all the time that we were here. You
can say for ma that as soon as I have
had that seven or eight weeks of rest
I will be ready to take on either Burns
or O'Brien.
Squires Impresses one as being? a
man who would not quit unfier pun
ishment. He has clear eyes, a good
broad forehead and has too much the
appearance of Jeffries to be a quitter.
Manager Reynolds ts a stout, affable
little man, who does not make any
great claims or his protege, but as
serts that they simply want the op
portunity to do some real fighting and
prove to the American people that their
contention as to Squires' ability is not

without a foundation. Both men ap
peared to be rather surprised at the
interest they have created, and while
undergoing the ordeal of being snapped
by the host of newspaper photogra
phers Squires seemed very much em
barrassed, squires, for a pugilist, has
remarkably regular features and shows
little of the marks that a fighter with
out service always bears.
On the whole, the impression created
by' these two visitors is very favorabla.
They carry themselves like gentlemen
and seem to be here for business.
SAY
GOING TO BUY AN AUTO THIS YEAR?
If you are, you will unquestionably want your money to buy you as much
value as it is possible for you to get. Now, you may of may not know all about
Automobiles, but. whether you do or not, you are a man of discriminating in
telligence, and can tell something about the quality of anything when you
look at it. "We want you to look at the Mitchell Automobile, examine its con
struction and make-up and read the letters from dealers all over, the United
States reflecting the satisfaction these cars have given to hundreds of gentle
men who are using them.
THEY ALL SAY:
There's $500 to $1000 more value in a Mitchell than in any car of its
price. v
THEY ALSO SAY:
There's as much value as in another car pricing $500 to $1000 (and
. some say $2000) higher. -
You say, How is it? How can it be? Simply this:
FIRST. Shop methods wMchadmit of the production of the greatest
. value at the minimum of cost. ,
SECOND. No connection with the trust of licensed' makers: a combina
tion to license each other, to make an exorbitant price on their product.
THIRD. A disposition to be satisfied with a reasonable and legitimate
profit.
If you pay more than the price of a Mitchell, you throw just that much
money away. If you pay less, -you don't get the kind of a car you ought to
have. The Mitchell is absolutely "the car you ought to have, at the price you
ought to pay."
Demonstrations freely and cheerfully given. Book your order now and
get in line for the next one that comes in that is not already sold. Kemember.
the number we can get from the factory this year is limited. Get in before
they are all gone.

Ia Spite of Duty, Purchases of Cars
Built in the United States
Are Largo.
Tpough tha demand for domestic au.
tomobiles is far in excess of the sup
ply, the situation for manufacturers is
becoming; mora complicated because of
the tremendous demand for ears made
in the United States on tbe part of
purchasers in botn Canada and Mex
ico. Until recently Canadians seemed to
prefer machines built abroad, and the
demand in Mexico was very limited,
but in the past year a phenomenal de
gree of prosperity has obtained across
both borders, and the people of means
appear to be determined to Invest in
automobiles rather than In railroad
stocks, aa has been the ease with so
many of tbe citizens of Unole Sam's
domain.
American cars have proven their
adaptability to the roads of both Can
ada and JJexico, and promoters of min
ing and agricultural enterprises have
discovered the value of possessing a
motor car as a substitute for the un
certain railroad schedules in districts
where the population is none too com
prehensive. Of course there is the duty to con
sider, and customs inspectors have
been instructed to make a vest pocket
search for automobiles and other ma
chinery, but even In the face of the addi
tional duty, Canadian and 'Mexican auto
mobile buyers persist in doing business
in the motor marts of the United States.
The "Wayne Automobile Company, of
Detroit, has sold a large proportion of
the American cars now in use in Can
ada, according to Jess S. Draper, gen
eral sales manager for the Detroit firm.
The Wayne Company baa been work
ing up Canadian business for the past
few years, and this year Is reaping tbe
harvest. With agencies at Montreal,
Toronto, Winnipeg and the Seattle rep
resentatives handling the buslneee of
British Columbia, the Wayne Company
is in a position to supply and demon
strate their machines in all portions of
the Dominion.
One of the interesting features of the
Canadian trade Just now la the demand
fop automobiles by the miners at Co
balt, who recently came Into wealth
by the silver strike In that vicinity.
The miners are partial to tbe Wayne
machines, Judging from the number sold
to them by the International Automo
bile Company, Ltd., Wayne agents at
Toronto.
"We have just received an order
from a dairyman near Toronto for a
Wayne chassis,'' said Mr. Draper yes
terday. "It will be provided with a
flat truck body for the purpose ef
transporting milk cans from the coun
try to tha market. This party has a
Keeler Strikes Out Early This Teas'
Willie Keeler this season followed in
the footsteps of Dan Brouthers, the old
time slugger, says the New Tork
World. Brouthers was a hard man to
strike out. and the pitchers always
worked their best with that 'object in
view. When Dan was with the Baltl-
more club he was fanned by a college
pitcher during the preliminary season,
ending the constant speculation as to
when the trick would be pulled off.
Last season Keeler did not fan until
late in the season. Ed Walsh, of tha
Chicago White Sox, was the pitcher
who sent Willie back to the bench by
the strike-out route. A few days ago
Pitcher Zeller, of the Atlanta team,
fanned Keeler, and now all the twlrlers
will not be pitching their sVms off for
the glory of causing Willie to thrash
the air.
