BT REFEREE.
Xow that the football season is a thing
ol too past, those who are interested in
outdoor sports are turning their atten
tion toward baseball and track athletics.
Preparations are already under way for
an active season of the last named
branch of sport here in the Northwest,
and although some time will elapsa be
fore any of the meets are held, there is
already considerable speculation as to
their outcome.
For the past two years . the Oregon
team has been without a peer in the
Northwest, and has won every meet by
a comfortable margin of points. With
such men as Kelly. M'oores, McKinney,
Hug and Zacharias, the Eugene aggre
gation has made a clean sweep and has
shattered many records. Now that Hug
end McKinney have been graduated and
Kelly has gone to Michigan, there are
many athletic critics who believe that
Trainer Bill Hayward will meet his
Waterloo, and that Oregcm will not main
tain the pace-that she has been setting
In track and field athletlcB.
Corvallls Students Are Hopeful.
Students of the Oregon Agricultural
College who spent the holidays in this
city believe that they will have an even
break with their Eugene rivals this year,
and that Oregon's expectations of cham
pionship honors are doomed to disap
pointment. The absence of Kelly, Hug
and McKinney and the presence of sev
;ral promising men at Corvallls. together
with the recognized ability of Trainer
.Hoy Heater, has stimulated enthusiasm
among the Aggies, and has led them to
believe that a victorious season awaits
,'lhem.
in the last dual meet between the two
' big state schools, the university won out
by a score of 77 to 45. With the excep
tion of Swann, .he clever pole-vaulter,
' ill the members of last season's team at
' the Agricultural College will be on hand.
.. Conspicuous among the new men is
i Lounsberry, a former WiUamette star,
who holds the state record for the high
lump. Lounsberry is also a good man in
-.the weight events, as is Jamison, the
ill-Northwest tackle. Among the sure
point-winners left from the team of last
season are DeVolt and Cross, the milers;
3reenhaw, the fast middle-distance man,
nd Wolff, the weight-thrower. Canting
that Trainer Heater is able to develop a
pood supply of new material, there is
very reason to believe that Corvallis will
le a big factor in the championship race.
Oregon Has Good Men.
Despite the loss of a number of her
best men, Oregon appears to have
'. prospects for a formidable team. In
Vfoores and Huston the university has
:wo sprinters who are the peers of
. tny men in tlie Northwest today. In
ill of Kelly's races of the past two
rears. Mooree has been a good second
uid In most of the meets of last sea
ion Huston was & point winner in the
uprlnts. Moores and Huston are both
fast men In the 220-yard hurdle race.
Moores holding the Northwest record
.'or that event. Kuykendall, captain of
".She Oregon team, has a record of IS
feconds In the 120-yard hurdle and
has cleared 21 feet In the broad jump
He is also a good man in the high
lump.
Reed, the man who von the 440
tard dash ''from Edmunson. of Idaho
'n the triangular meet at Seattle las
Spring, l in good condition this year
snd ought to win many points for
Oregon. Among the long-distance men
'ho won points for Oregon last season
Ind who are still in college are Dodson,
iVood and Platts. The return rt Harry
Lowell, the freshman who put up a
tame fight against De Volt in -the
mile run at the Salem meet in 190S, is
igaln at Oregon, and Mays and Breed
ing, two Portland freshmen, are count
?d on as his running mates in the long
distance events.
In the weight events Oregon still has
Zacharias. holder of the Northwest
record for the hammer throw, and
point-winner in the remaining weight
tvents. Moullen will no doubt ba heard
from in the weights, but it is said
.that he has become too heavyfor the
pole vault and that he will no longer
tppear In that event. Oregon will miss
Kelly In the broad Jump, as well as
in the sprints, and the absence of Hug
snd McKinney will materially weaken
the team.
Teams to Meet In Eugrne.
This year's dual meet between Ore
gon and O. A. C. will be held in Eu
gene and will be tie foremost event
of the season In the Northwest. The
triangular meet -at Seattle will be a
farce as usual, for neither Idaho nor
Washington will be able to give Ore
gon much of a battle. Pullman seems
to have better prospects than either
Idaho or Whitman, although the last
named institution has a number of
rlcver men.
What the Northwest should have
rvery year Is an intercollegiate meet
between teams representing the Big
Six Idaho, Oregon, Corvallls, Pullman,
Whitman and Washington. The wln
. ning of such a meet would rarry with
it the undisputed championship of the
states In this section of the country.
Such a meet could alternate between
Portland, Seattle and Spokane, and in
time it would become the big athletic
event of the Pacific Coaet.

situation at all times. You must have
executive ability in so far as it applies
to keeping the Jockeys within bounds.
"The Jockeys are all anxious to win,
and they will try to beat the barrier at
every opportunity. But once you con
vince them that you are a supreme power
at the start they will learn to obey your
command.
"I was starting a long time before I
ever fined or set down a boy. I won't
do it now until 2 have to. and you can
rest assured that no Jockey was ever set
down or fined by me that didn't deserve
the punishment.
"Out In the West you don't have any
wide tracks the same as they have ' in
New York and where there Is plenty of
room for every boy or horse. On the
narrow tracks out West the fields are
usually large and the boys are often
crowded back. And you know one Jockey
is not going to- get out of the way of
another, so the boys have to use their
wits, and are taught to take care of
themselves in a crowd.
"When they come East on the wide
tracks they are fully schooled and usually
make good right away. I think this is
borne out by the fact that all of your
successful Jockeys are developed on the
small tracks in the West."
When Evers Made His Debut.
Johnny Evers, the Cubs' second base
wonder, broke into baseball at Troy, N.
Y., where he had established a reputation
as a crack amateur. The sickness ot
Troy's second-sacker gave Johnny a
chance to break in, and, dressed in a
suit, built for a 200-pounder, he seared
the grass around second Just as he has
been doing for Chicago.
After the game Evers was told to report
the next day and he did So. At the con
clusion of the practice a friend outside
told Johnny his kid brotner was outsid9
without the necessary two-bits for ad
mission. I .' '
The young player approached the man
ager with a request that the boy be ad
mitted. "We play for money here, and
the lad will have to cough up the price,"
replied- the magnate. "But," he added,
"I don't suppose you have any change
in . your uniform, so I'll lend you the
price."
Supposing it to. be a Joke, Evers took
the quarter and paid his brother's way
iqo the park. That it was stern reality,
however, he knew on pay day, when he
was docked 25 cents by the club.
Rise of McGraw, New York Magnate
Leader of the Giants Started at Fifteen Dollars a Week; Now He Gets ?
I
DON'T know what has come over
some of these minor league ball
players," chirped Johnny. McGraw
the other day after reading a letter from
one of the Giants' latest recruits. "Here
I have word from a kid ballplayer, a
piteber from a remote league, and he
demands a salary of $3000 a season, or
there will be nothing doing. I mailed this
chap a contract calling for $1200 and a
promise of a raise if he comes up to ex
pectations, but he wants more than some
of the old-timers are getting. And, mind
you. this fellow didn't play in 11 gajnes
las't season.
. "It is amusing how big these fellows
get when a New York club ofTers them
a job. It didn't use . to be, that way.
When I first broke into the game I was
a kid. Just as this fellow who demands
a big salary Is now. 1 jumped out and
played with an all-American team down
around Florida. and was getting about
$15 a week. We located In Gainesville,
and Cleveland came down there for prac

son, Big Ed McKeon, Chip McGarr and
the other big men of the Cleveland team.
"They were a bit raw then, having had
only a few days' practice, while I was
ar chipper as a kid could be at my age.
We played 'em one afternoon, with Vlau
in the box. and I tell you this Vlau was
a pitcher in those days. But, of course,
lie didn't have a seasoned arm, so he. Just
lobbed 'em up to the plate. And maybe
1 didn't soak the horsehlde. I got three
doubles and a single that day, and it
proved. the start of my career.
TERRITORY IS
WASHINGTON
REACH AN
AND PULLMAN
AGREEMENT.
West of Cascades Washington Will
Regulate Interscholastic Athletes.
. Pullman Takes Territory East.
PUXJMAN,. Wash., Jan. 12. (Special.)
At the conference between Dean A. R.
Priest, chairman of the University of
Washington Interscholastic .committee,
and Professor Charles Timblin, chairman
of the Washington State College, inter
scholastic'' committee, in Seattle last
week, arrangements were completed
which will make the Interscholastic track
and field meets of the future assume an
entirely different plane than has hereto
fore been the case. For the past three
years there has oeen considerable compe
tition between the two largest Institutions
of the state in the matter of these meets,
and last year the Washington State man
agement drew heavily from the West Side
High Schools in the number of contest
ants that participated. The University
of Washington also included many of the
High Schools of the East Side in their
contests. With a view of arriving at
some definite plan regarding the second
ary schools of the state. . the two repre
sentatives of the leading state institu
tions met and mutually agreed ' upon
many points which will materially affect
future meets.
In speaking of this, Professor Timblin
said: "The Cascade Mountains was de
cided upon as the dividing line in deter
mining our respective territory: the uni
yersity takes all the high schools west of
the summit, Washington State takes all
east of the summit. By this division
each institution can work independently
of the other ' and accomplish the desired
result, namely, inspire athletic ambition
among high school students. By this
plan it becomes necessary for any ligh
school in the territory aftoted to the Uni
versity to send its representatives to the
University's track meet, and it cannot
compete In the one held at the Washing
ton State- College. Similarly.- the rule ap
plies to the schools in the territory east
"The papers were - full of ffce great
thing? I did, but no one was wise to the
fact that the pitcher was only lobbing
'em up. After a few days I was receiving
telegrams from all over J. the country.
Some offered me $60 a month, and that
looked, like big money to me in those
days. But I kept putting them off until
the Cedar Rapids club wired me an offer
of $125. I didn't even stop to take off
my uniform, but ran all the way to the
telegraph office to. accept the offer.- That
was just. 19 years ago.
"When I drifted to Baltimore I re
ceived' only $1200. and was only getting
$1500 when we won the first pennant.
Then tfiey boosted me to J2100v- and
finally to-- 92500. And, mind you, we
were, winning pennants in those days.
Why,' Kheeler never drew more than
$2500 a year in Baltimore, and at that
time he was the greatest ballplayer in
the business and to think of that kid
writing me to send him a contract for
$3C. . -v
"The year I managed the Baltimore
club my 'stipend was $3500, and, let me
tell you, Johnny -McGraw wouldn't step
out of the way for the President in those
days.-..
"My first big pay was when I went to
St. Louis. I had a contract calling for
$8SO0 when I took Robinson to the Mound
City, and it looked like a million, .dollars
to me. -
"These young fellows make a great mis
take.. They simply have exalted ideas
when they get an offer from a big league
club. We all had to start at the bottom
of the ladder. And as soon as a young
of the Cascades: if they wish to take
part in an Interscholastic meet they will
have to send their men to Pullman.
"By arranging the meets in this man
ner the object for which the intenscholas
tlcs are held will have been attained. And
along the same line, it was further
agreed that the winner of the. Washing
ton State College meet would hold a. dual
meet with the winner of the banner at
the University, the place of this dual
meet alternating between the West and
East Sides. This year it will be held in
Seattle, and next year on the athletic
grounds of the Washington State College.
The time for this1 event will come very
shortly after the main meets have been
pulled off. Both interscholastic contests
will be held at .ne 'same time of the
month, May 8 and 9. Each institution
will pay the expenses of five men, no
more. The medals, cups, and banners of
the two colleges will be of the same de
sign, the only difference being in the
lettering.
"To further promote the good work the
University will send a man to Pullman to
assist in the work here, and likewise, we
will send a man to Seattle as an official.
This will give each institution a chance
to see how the other works and will be
an aid in facilitating future contests.
The rules governing the conterts will be
drawn up later, but they will be uniform
In every particular."
For the first time the two leading edu
cational Institutions of the State of
Washington have come together to assist
each other in promoting athletics In the
high schools. The division of the state
leaves each to assume its share of work,
and the competitive nature of previous
interscholastic contests will be eliminated.
- Vail Will Coach Georgetown.
It has been generally understood that
the University of Georgetown has been
contemplating . a change of rowing
coaches, and It has recently developed
that the desired instructor in aquatics is
Harry Vail, who has been in charge of
one of the Harvard boat club crews. Vail
will in all probability, replace graduate
Coach Murray A. Russell. The reversion
of Georgetown to professional coaching
follows the recent revival of interest
shown by the undergraduate body in
aquatio sports. ' t

ball player makes good he gets what is
coming to him. Take Matthewson, for
Instance. When he came to New York
his contract called for only $1200, but he
didn't have to play for this small amount
long. - Now he is the highest priced pitch
er in the country, and he earns every
dollar that he gets. Yes. I played ball
for nearly eight years, that is, in the
big leagues, before I passed the $3000
mark."
McGraw got talking about Tad Jones,
who has been offered a berth by several
leaguq clubs.
'Jones will play right here in New
York when he. decides to become a pro
fessional. I have his promise, but I don't
believe he ever will play for money. I
think he is the greatest backstop ever
developed at a college. But he'll come
to New York and nowhere else if he de
cides on professional baseball."
Young McKinney, the six-footer whom
Con Daly recommended to McGraw, looks
like a good pitcher. , -He called on. Mc
Graw last evening and they talked sal
ary. McKinney will sign a contract to
day. "Con Daly, who in his day was one of
the beadiest catchers in the baseball
game, tells me McKinney is a second
Rusle." said McGraw after ' McKinney
had departed, "and I will take anything
Daly says seriously because he was a
great Judge of a pitcher. I will give the
boy plenty of work down South, and the
other youngsters will get lots of work,
too. By the time I get back North with
the crew I will know just what is good
and what ain't."

Those enthusiasts who aspire to be

George R. Lawrence. As the balloon

cal club. Mr. Lawrence will have a
balloon of very small size to contain
about 30,000 cubic feet of gas. It will
be constructed of the finest grade of
Japanese silk by J. L. Case, of South
Chicago. Mr. Perrigo's craft will con
tain more than three times as many
cubic feet of gas and will be built
along the lines of the Pommern, which
won the last James Gordon Bennett
race.
Carl E. Myers, of Frankfort. N. Y.,
will build the Coey and Tarrant bal
loons. They will have a capacity of
about 80.000 cubic feet.
Mr. Perrigo's balloon will be ready
for delivery March 1. Its trial flight
will be made from Captain Angiemlre's
farm on the north shore and it is
claimed by the captain, who will build
the ship, that Lake Michigan will be
crossed and recrossed with one filling
of gas.
Entry blanks for the international
contest to be held in Chicago July 4
will be off the press early this week
and will be sent out at once. A great
many foreign cars are expected to en

Frank Gotch, champion catch-as-catch-can
wrestler of America, has announced
his intention of going to Europe next
March to tackle the grapplers of the OU
World, with particular reference t
George Hackenschmidt. Alter beating th
Russian Lion, Gotch will he ready to
take on all comers.
. There are those well pasted, in the mat
game who .doubt tee Iowa man's ability
to defeat either one of the three men
now before the public on the other side
of the water. Charles Dellvuk, who is
now in this country, has met Gotch in
handicap matches. DelWuk has been
on the mat with Hackenschmidt and
Zbysco, the man who has chased the
Russian Lion all over Europe without
being able to get a match.
"I would willingly go on with Gotch
or Hack." says Dellvuk, "but with
Zbysco never again for all the money on
earth. That man Is terrible. Gotch
would not have the slightest chance with
him at any style, and still I think Gotch
one of the best men in the world.
"Zbysco. the mighty one. is a biEger
man than Hack In every respect, phys
ically, weighing 260 pounds, while he is
said to be a wonder on the mat at his
own style, which, like that of the Lion.
Is Graeco-Roman. Zbysco has a chest
that measuj-es 50 inches, his waist is a
little over 42. his neck 22. thigh 2i.
calf, 19 Inches, and his biceps have been
pronounced the largest in the sporting
world. No standard sise of shirt or col
lar will fit him. The, new champion Is
a total abstainer and a non-smoker. He
has a brother 15 years old who Is al
ready his equal In physique.
"Zbysco has. met all comers In England
during the past few .years, and has never
met a man who could begin to make a
showing against him. He came to Lon
don with a great reputation, having won
the International tournament at Paris
two years ago, with which goes the title
of champion of the world, and having
simply toyed with Madrali, the Turk, a
victory over whom gave Hack his first
reputation. This remarkable wrestler has
chased Hackenschmidt all over Europe,
but has been- unable to induce the Rus
sian to enter a ring with him. Every
pound of his 260 is said to be solid mus
cle, while in speed there are few whe
can excel him, one of these few being
Poudubbny, the latest aspirant to the
title.
"Poudubbny Is the real champion of
Europe, having won the international
tournament last year. After this victory
he chased Hack, even as had Zbysco,
meeting the same poor success. Pou
dubbny compares favorably with Zbysco,
being about 240 pounds in weight and
built proportionately." i
As for Hackenschmidt, Dellvuk thinks
the Russian Lion could toy with Gotcb
despite the fact that he would be obliged
to meet him at his own game. Hack is
too big and strong to be thrown by any
ordinary leg hold, while he is so fast
that it is doubtful whether Gotch could
get behind him as they came to the mat.
