SECOND YEAR OP
ENS
Prospects Bright for North
west League.
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

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.
