Wcflk Behind the Bat. s i, In reading over the scores of tiie games Cwtt have been played, it is evident that MeCredie is weak behind the bat. Mad den was. showing up well until he injured Iws hand. This left MeCredie with the .youngsters Whalen and Walsh, both of ttjtnm were untried in fast company. In desperation. MeCredie lias had to use Madden, in spite of his split hand and his throwing to bases has been bad. I'n .douhtedly half of the games lost were due to this weakness among the back stops.

SEATTLE HAS STRONG TEAM Pncdale Has Signed h Bunch, of Hitters and Fast Infield Seat tle Manager Imports Two Players From East. SEATTLE, April IS. (Special.) The" North-west League opened its second season this afternoon with the teams much better balanced than . in 1907 and with considerably better prospects for a successful year. Last year Seattle, Vancouver and Butte began the season with teams that were little better than jokes and as a consequence Aberdeen by winning' nearly every game from Seattle and Vancouver in the first few weeks got a flying start that put the other teams under difficulties that were never overcome. This year Seattle has as good a team as any of them. At least, it looks so. It is a hitting team, the first one Dug dale lias ever had in Seattle. .The in field is fast and if there is a weak spot it is apt to be found In the pitching staff. The general opinion is that Se attle. Taeoma and Aberdeen, last year's champions, ought to be the first divi sion teams. . Two of Seattle's players cost Dug dale some money. He bought frisk from St. Paul and brought Bennett from St. Louis. Frisk -was the boss hitter of the Coast League a few sea sons ago. and Bennett whf n he played second for the Seattle Coast League team was considered the best man in the position that had been seen" here. Bennett is also a hard hitter, but he is .besides a crack fielder- and ;base run ner and an inside ballplayer. - Frisk is valuable for his hitting and his hit ting alone. But hit he certainly can. Cabin and Hammond, who with Frisk will play the outfieJd .places.. look good in the practice games, although Cahill has not shown much with the stick. Dugdale's infield - is lopsided. Scho field at first and -Bennett at second look to be the class of the league, but Dudley at short Is a youngster, al though a promising xne. and Myers, who will play third In all .probability, has yet to be thoroughly tried out. He is the fastest thing with his hands and feet that has ever been-seen here, out he can't bat, -and It remains to be seen how he fits into the .team. Kd Hickey, a finished third .baseman, so far as fielding is concerned, broke his ankle in a practice game and is out, probably for the season. Stanley, Arbogast and Fortier are the backstops. Stanley is, . of course, the most valuable man in the team. He will get more out of he pitchers than anyone else "possibly can. and is as wise a head as there is in the busir ness. Arbogast is- remarkable chiefly for a $10,000 arm. Fortier is from somewhere down in Eastern Oregon. He is, of course, a youngster, but looks mighty good. He is counted a fair hitter and plays a good, all-round game. The pitching staff as made up to start with, is Welsh.. Rush. Mobley, Metcalfe. Allen and Coy. It is a fair lot of pitchers, and Rush, were he of stronger; physique, would be a crack ajack. Welsh was good the latter part of last season, and Mobley, who comes from the California State League, is promising. Quigley will play utility roles. Aberdeen has? pretty well the same smooth running machine that won the flag last year. - The few changes have not weakened the team any. - Spencer and White are the backstops instead of Spencer and Boettiger. who proba bly will play in the outfield, in House holder's place. Moore replaces Ander son at second. The others. Streib, Brown. Fitzgerald. Van Buren and Ma rion, remain. The pitching staff, Brinker. Thompson, Califf. Starkells, Boyle and Hickey. again looks to be the best of the league, unless it be that of Butte. - Taeoma has a -,first-c!ass outfield, with Martiuke, Lynch and Clynes, and a fair infield, with Kellarky, Graham. Bresino and Burnett. Butler. Osborne. Franklin. Campbell. Williams and Lakaff ought to round into a capable Ilr.MK,S i;.i;7.7:7?;:7;!7I pitching staff. Danny Shea will prob ably catch every game this season, for he can't be kept out of it for anything less than a broken arm. Shea's brother has been signed' to play behind the bat if the worst happens. Butte looks only fair, with the ex ception of the pitchers. Another Shea and Kreitz will do the catching. The infield is made up of Lussi, Stis, Adams and Cart wright. and the outfield of Swayne. Bennet and Irby. The pitch ing staff is nearly as good as that" of Aberdeen, with "Soldier" Thomas, Jocko Thomas. Claflin. Samuels and Mc.Clair. Soldier Thomas was a Fort Flagler artilleryman last year, and asked Russ Hall for a tryout. He proved to be a find. Claflin . played with Ta eoma, Seattle and Spokane last year, and made good nowhere. He has every thing but luck and Hall hopes that wilj come his way this year. Spokane ought to round into a gxod team with Rogers, Renieker, Hulen, James, Mack tin, Donovan and Carney, and Kf Hi lay, Roosevelt, Wriight and Jensen for pitchers. The chief trouble with Spokane last year ,was a lack of team work. It remains to be seen, if Hulen will do. better as captain than Swindells. The pitching staff looks better than some of the. others. Joe Sugden will do most of the back stepping for Vancouver, the same Joe Sugden that was once a big league fig ure. There are a good many young sters among the pitchers who Include Hughes. Walden, Erickson, Paddock, Van Zandt and Engle. . Hughes is a University of Washington boy. Engle Is the same George Engle that was Portland's star pitcher in the days- Of the old Pacific Northwest League, six or seven years ago. Lou Nordyke, the old Tacoma tigers first baseman, will play first, and Van Snyder, Gray and another Snyder make up the. rest of the Infield. Shipp. Mendehall and Hy att make up the outfield. Sitpp was signed by Dugdale this year, but was turned over to Vancouver, whence W. H. Uavnlt, Wlnnrr of Mile nnd Htilf-Mfle Rung at Colom bia. OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL-' . LEGE, Corvallis. Or..

Mr. Davolt ts a senior electrical engineering student at the Oregon Agricultural College, which institution he has repre sented in all its field meets for the " past three years, having been defeated in the mile but once during that time. ' Mr. Davolt received his early train ing from the late "Dad" Trine. He hold the O. A. C. four-mile cross-country record at 23 min utes 7 seconds.

INLAND EMPIRE ATHLETICS Undergraduates or Xorthwestern Vniversltlca Are Taking Greater Interest Than Ever in Base ball Other Sports. BY REFEREE. The Columbia Indoor meet proved con clusively that the teams of the Univer sity of Oregon and the Oregon Agricul tural College are very evenly matched this year and the prediction Is madfe that the fight for the Northwest champion ship will narrow down to a close race between these two aggregations. Ore gon seems to have the edge on her Cor vallis rival In the short sprints, hurdles, the 440-yard run, the relay and the ham mer throw, while the . distance runs, the shot-put. the 220-yard dash and high jump are j the strongholds of Trainer Heater's inen. In the discus throw, broad jump and pole vault there is lit tle difference between the teams. " The-dual- meet between the two state insti tutions is scheduled for May 22, at Eu gene. Brought Out New Ones. Despite the fact that none of the col lege lads broke records at the Columbia meet, . the day produced a number of ' classy athletes." DeVolt. the long-distance runner from the Agricultural Col lege, showed good form in both the 880 and mile events. In the former event he was given a good race by Dodson, of Oregon, while Downs, an. Oregon fresh man, made a gallant fight in the mile run. In Downs. Slevers and May. Ore gon has the best trio of distance run ners that have worn her colors since the days of Payne. Poley and other old timers. Greenhow, the fast . middle-' distance man of the" Agricultural College, was not in the best of condition at Columbia and was beaten by Reid, of Oregon, who has developed into one of the best quarter-milers in the North west. Reid is also a fast man In the 220-yard dash, as was shown in the final lap of the relay race. Schroder, of O. A. C, surprised the crowd last Sat urday by defeating Moores In the 220 yard dash. Neither Moores nor Huston, of Oregon. ' has done anything worthy of note tliia year and unless they im prove rapidly before the time of the championship meets, they may suffer more defeats. Moon, an Oregon fresh man, showed good form in the 220-yard sprint, as did Oberteuffer and Kiltz. two of Oregon's relay men. Wolff Is a Star. Wolff, the big football man. is one of the stars of the Corvallis team. He gives promise of . being the best shot putter in the Northwest this year and at the present time has a good lead over Zacharias and Mclntyre. the Oregon shot-putters. Moullen rose to the occa sion last Saturday and cleared 10 feet 10 inches in the pole vault. This dis tance is very creditable for a man who weighs ISO pounds. Swan, the O. A. C. vaulter. injured himself during the meet, but escaped without serious accident. Had he been able to compete in the broad jump, the Agricultural College men would have given Oregon a much harder fight for the honors of the day. In Lounsberry and Chapman Trainer Heater has a good pair of high jumpers? but neither he nor Hayward have de veloped any good men for the broad jump. Eugene Little the Best. One cannot estimate the strength of a track team by seeing a meet that does not include a full list of events. On paper the Eugene team looks a trifle stronger than Corvallis.- but when the 220-yard hurdle, the hammer and discus throws and the mile relay race are added to the programme, an .element of uncer tainty attaches Itself to the situation. Oregon appears to have .more well-developed freshmen than her rival and in this respect. Trainer Hayward is to be complimented. In Seivers, May, Moon and Downs, the university has a quartet of very promising, men. The real test between the university and the Aggies will come when the dual meet is held. In the Inland Empire. The Inland Empire colleges will hold their championship meet at Pullman on May 9. Critics say that the Washing ton State College will win this meet and that Oregon will defeat both Washing ton State arid Whitman in the dual meets of the following week: If reports from Seattle are correct. Oregon will have a hard tussle with Washington and Idaho In the Decoration day contest. The Eugene men are probably, stronger than either one of the other teams and could d-efeat either one in a dual meet, but Idaho will break in on some of Oregon's strongholds and thereby increase Wash ington's chances. The last-named team has a number of splendid freshmen. In cluding Green, a sprinter from Chehalls. Baseball Is Picking Vp. College baseball Is more popular than ever In the Northwest, and the coming season will he most Interesting. The strong team of Whitman College has al ready Invaded Oregon and has met de feat at the hands of Willamette and the University of Oregon. The last-named team will Invade Portland before long for a series of games with Multnomah and other local teams and lat in the season will meet the Agricultural College in a three-game scries. The Aggies have ex cellent prospects and their games with Oregon will doubtless prove as interest ing as the other athletic ' contests be tween representatives of the hig state schools. Pullman. Idaho. Washington, and. In fact, all the Northwest colleges, are devoting an' extra 'amount of atten tion to the National game this year. Both Oregon and Corvallis will play in Portland twice during the coming foot ball season. The Corvallis team will come here for a game with Multnomah on November 14 and the big Intercollegiate game with Oregon fcill be played here on November 21. Oregon's second ap pearance here will be on Thanksgiving day in the big annual game with Multno mah. All of the Northwest teams are getting their schedules arranged early and moM of .them will announce a full list of games before college closes in June. Oregon. Corvallis and Idaho are the only teams of importance that have selected their coaches. THE DAY'S HORSE RACES Aqueduct Park Resnlts. AQUEDUCT, N. T..
