St. John and Woodburnr and from that time on the eijrht clubs will play three frames each week until the schedule is completed. All the teams arc in promts-ins: shape for a hard strucsrle. and the race this year should be close as well as Inter estinsr. As tho Pacific Coast Teaarue does not open here until May local In teres t natnrally renters in the open ins: frames of the so-cal'ed "hushors." and as all the teams affiliated with this little leacu are composed of bichly promising material, the fans can be expected to turn out liberally to wit ness the panics. Oiitside of Portland the Interest in the Tri-City I.eacne is creator than ever before. The new towns added to the circuit. Salem. Oresron City and Vancouver, are deli srh ted with beinc represented in a repularly orsra nixed circuit, and the teams represent!). those towns wilt be fichtinp for the premiership from tha finst tap of the pone. Several of the teams will play exhi bition tfames today, and will enpape in liph t practice durinc the w.eek. The sean opens Saturday -with Kast Port land pi ay in c West Portland at the Vauehn-street prounds; Aibina playinp St. John at St. John: Vancouver playinp Orepon City at Orepon City, and Salem with Wood burn at Wood burn. The dispute between the West Port land team and tb Vancouver cltih over the services of Ash Houston has not been settled, and from the present at titude of the two manacers. the player is not likely to be allowed to play with either club. Houston is a first-class younp player, and on that account both clubs are anxious to secure his serv ices. Another promisinp younp player with the Tri-City I-eapue is Harry Gardner, a pitcher, whose work has attracted the notice of McCredie. and it is pos sible that be may wear a Portland uni form before the present Pacific Coast I-eapue season is over. Gardner i a member of the East Portland team, and Manaper Pomeroy believes that in this clever younpster he has the prem ier twirler of the leapue. The Salem club stole a march on Manaper Whitehead, of the West Port lands, and took away his star second baseman. Harvey Newell, and tried hard to pet Outfielder Johnson, but the latter was already sipned with the OGAL SEASON TEAMS. VAUKAST ST'' VAIv"?TST" ST. JOHX. OREGON' CITY. VANCOUVER. SALEM. WOODBURN.

The Portland Rowing Club's senior four will meet the crack rowing quartet from the University of Washington on the Williamette River on June 6, Rose Festi val week. Definite arrangements to this effect were completed between Captain Craig MdMicken of the Portland Rowing Club and Manager Rasmussen of the Washing ton university. With thia race in prospect the member's of the rowinc club are training steadily for a splendid season, which not only includes the Rose Festival events, but also a series of races extending from Portland to British Columbia, The senior four 'is daily at practice and has been favored during the past week with splen did rowing weather. The conditions hava bean so favorable that practically 'all the oarsmen of the club have been actively engaged in' working out in their shells and canoes. Coach Pan Murphy, who is again to handle the oarsmen here, is ill at Stan ford University and he may be delayed in reaching Portland, but in spite of this delay the candidates for the different crews are working out daily under the instruction of Captain McMicken and the champion single sculler. Ed O. Gloss. Some highly promising material is betnp developed from among the Juniors and the officials of the club are confident of a most enthusiastic season on the water. .

The events will be h"ld under the roof of the big gymna aJum of that Institution. This indoor field Is so largo that a regulation game of baseball can be player! on it. and Is therefore of ampl sire to acegmmodato the coming games. . The Columbia games have been an An nual event during the' past five years, and each meet inspires greater enthusi asm and better contests than the pre ceding on. It is believed that this year's events will be considerably more Interesting; than the fine Exhibitions of last. year. The Columbia meet affords the compet ing1 teams an opportunity to display thrlr ability on a track possessing" a regula tion earth floor very much earlier than is permitted outdoors on account of weather conditions. This indoor track is 12 Inps to the mile, and furnishes an excellent opportunity for early season work. The Columbia games will un doubtedly attract the largest crowd In the history of th institution, for there Is a more general Interest In track ath let les tb Is yea r than ever before.

Over 150 athletes from various North west Institutions have entered for the different events.
