RECORDS IN DIGER
Athletes Training Hard for
Meet at Columbia.
MANY ACADEMIC ENTRIES
Nearly Ewty Club in City Will
Send Team and Astoria Will Enter
for FirRt Time Track Equal
to Any in Country.
Columbia University track met next
Saturday Is showing up In lino for cham
pionship honors. Rvery day a bunch of
Multnomah and other local athletes may
b found working out on the big Indoor
field at Columbia University. Greenhaugh
of Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club Is
doing hta entire training on the track
The Columbia boys have straightened out
the track and have to some extent re-
Kradod 1t and after a prolonged watering
anil rolling it la considered equal to any
of the crack Eastern Indoor field tracks.
One of the atrongest features about
the meet will be the academic entries.
Practically every school In the city is
sending some kind of team of varying
grades of efficiency. The preliminary
practice afforded by the Multnomah meet
at the Indoor meet at the Armory a week
9Ko and the way In which a large num
ber of tho Juniors showed up has led
enthusiasm up to the highest In the local
academic Institutions, and they are all
expected to make an usually good showing.
Astoria High School has announced that
It will put a strong team In the field
Astoria Is one of the new teams entering
and as It is known some promising ma
terial has been In course of development
there, Astoria la expected to make a spe
cial showing.
it lias been noticed that the athletes
coming from seaport towns are as a gen
eral thing superior to those developed In
the Interior cities and as to whether this
will be the rase with Astoria has caused
srveral animated discussions.
Perkins Promises Well.
At Columbia. aughan Perkins, cap
tain of the track team. Is doing good
work. Although young as an athlete
Perkins Is at present clearing the bar
at 10 feet In ths pole-vault. The Coast
record is believed to be held by Moullen
of Oregon Agricultural College, with 10
feet 9 inches to his credit. This record
was made at Columbia. The Columbia
boys are being trained to some extent by
Oreenhaugh of Multnomah. Practically
every day Oreenhaugh may be found in
the Coliseum, giving the boys an object
leeson in starting and In sprinting. It 1s
generally conceded that the start la 50
per cent of a sprint and Sfcnithson Is an
Illustration of this; the value, therefore,
of the training given by Greenhaugh can
not be underestimated by the young
athletes.
Multnomah entries have not yet coma
to the hand of Track Manager Black,
hut they are expected almost any time.
The unfortunate Injury received by
Smlthson In the Armory meet. It Is
thought, will n-ot Interfere with the com
peting of this promising athlete. Smith
son Is a product of the West and for this
reason hia friends and admirers are ex
pected at Columbia In great force.
Hayward believes his University of Ore
gon bunch will be world beaters. Although
Oregon has been all shot to pieces, the
recovery has been marvelous. The piec
ing together of a team mainly composed
of "freshlee" Is one of those things in
which Hayward has showed his especial
executive ability. Hayward writes that
his team is very fast and he looks to
keep up the name of the college. Wash
ington State College Is likely to be a
staunch competitor of Oregon. It is ex
pected to send one of h strongest teams
yet entered.
Oregon Agricultural College has taken

ss Iff
up the gauntlet thrown down by its
ancient rival, Oregon, in great shape. It
is said O. A. C. numbers world-beaters
among its men. The prospect of still
further records being broken at Columbia
is an enticing one.
McMlnnvllle .College has sent a terrific
list of hopefuls. Together with the lust
Manager Arthur has forwarded the
records. Some of these records are so
close to those made by the champions
that some of them may as well prepare
for defeat if they fall to liven up. In
the broad Jump, for Instance. W. Foster
is a bare six inches behind the redoubt
able Smithson. Maurice Pettit is a few
Inches behind Wolff of O. A. C. In rhe
shot-put: H. Li. McCabe is 3-5 of a second
to the bad as compared with Reid of
O. A. C. In the 440-yard dash, and EI F.
McKee rises five inches below Moullen
of U. of O. in the pole-vault. Track Cap
tain Louis Williams, of McMlnnvtlle. la a
clear 1 1-5 seconds ahead of Moore of
O. A. C. and several other runners ap
proximate on the best times.
It le feared that Idaho will not come
through to th meet owing to the distance
involved, but a final answer is expected
to be received in the next few days.
The improvement that has been made in
the Columbia track has enabled the
dashes to be run on the straight track in
the center of the field. This will enable
the side doors to be opened to allow the
runners to finish outside after passing
the tape. Thia will naturally lead to
better times when the men running are
in no fear of striking wall obstacles.
GOFFROTH AFTER CARDS
PROMOTER GOES EAST TO AR
RANGE NEW FIGHTS.
Expectation of Fans Is That He Will
Bring Back Enough Material to
Last Throughout Season.
BT HARRY B. SMITH.
SAN FRANCISCO. Cal.. April U (Spe-
cial. Promoter Jimmy Coffroth left us
the middle of the .week for New York
and Chicago. When he returns, as he
has promised that he will do in a couple
of weeks, it is expected that he will have
dozen or so first-rate fighters tucked
under his arms and that we will be
Btocked up for the balance of the Summer
months. It is really the best news In
fistic lines that we have had for many
a day. Things have been altogether too
quiet lnaa boxing line and now that Cof
froth has decided to bestir himself, some
thing ought to be accomplished.
Naturally Coffroth has In mind the one
big match Jack Johnson and Jim Jef
fries. But incidentally, he figures on
picking up a number of good fighters.
He has a number of choice holiday dates
which he wants to fill and there is far
from being sufficient talent on the Pa
cific' Coast at the present writing.
Will Ask Nelson's Intentions.
First of all. Coffroth will see Nelson
In Chicago. He will find out If the Dane
Intends to meet Fighting Dick Hyland in
that 45-round contest on Decoration day.
If the Battler ducks the issue, Coffroth
will discover if the Dane would be agree
able to a meeting with Freddie Welsh
for the lightweight championship of the
world.
Also, In the Windy City, Coffroth -will
have a chat with Sylvie Feretti, manager
of Hugo Kelly. Kelljt can have a fight
with Billy Patko If he elects. Coffroth
wants that match for his Mission-etreet
arena on May day. Papke is due in San
'Franoisco from- Los Angeles in a day
or so and it is reported that he Is will
ing enough. That being the case, it Is
for Kelly to say what he will do.
After his Chicago conferences, Coffroth
will speed on to New Tork. He will
satisfy himself as to whether Jeffries
really Intends to fight. If the big fellow
is out of it, Coffroth will bid for a
Ketchel-Johnson match. At the same
time, he has made up his mind to bring
back with him some of the lighter boys.
Owen Moran, the little English feather
weight, may be matched with Leach
Cross, the Blast Side dentist. Abe Attell
may be given another fight and Tommy
Murphy, also a New York lightweight, is
considered. In fact, Coffroth thinks the
local fight situation needs rejuvenation
and will do what he can to give boxing a
stimulus. He will return Inside of a
fortnight, so he says, and then we will
know to what we are to be treated this
Bummer In the line of flstio exhibitions.
April Match TJp In Air.
The -April fight permit in San Francisco
has at last been handed over to Charles
J. Lercari, who is a commission merchant
when he is. not running after fighters.
Charles J. at the present Is undecided
as to his match. The chances are, how
ever, that Chick Hudson, the Seattle
lightweight, who is thought so well of
In the Northwest, will be given an op
portunity to show what he can do.
Lercaii wanted to match Hudson with
Fighting Dick Hyland, but the latter is
waiting on Battling Nelson. Lercarl
would have liked to have brought Johnny
Frayne, a -San Francisco boxer, back .
from New York, but the time is too short. '
So it looks as if Johnny Murphy will be
the opponent of the SBattle man. Murphy
la a bit heavier than 133 pounds, but
Hudson says that he is willing to concede
something In the weight line, if he can
only get a chance. -
San Francisco boxing promoters ' and
the fans as well are somewhat cheered
by the news that the authorities in New
York propose to stop the boxing game in
that city. It means that it will be much,
easier to secure talent out on the Coast.
Boxers are only human and when they
can get good money for ten-round
matches, duck the longer fights in and
around San Francisco. If New York is
closed to them, however, they will be
hurrying westward to get the best they
can find.
Boston Players Obstreperous.
COLUMBUS, O.," April 10. Boston
American League players, who left hers
today, were not the most strict observ
ers of discipline. Jack Thlelman refused
yesterday to put on a uniform, and the
team left for the grounds without him.
The party has several other obstreperous
members.
Bennett's Yacht Damaged.
SAIGON, Chochtn China, April 10. The
American steam yacht Lyslstrata, owned
by James Gordon Bennett, has put In
here today to repair damages.
British foreign trade for the ten months
ended October, 1908, covered Imports, $2,367,
081,368. a decrease from 190T of $225,118,081.
ajid export $1. 660,810,416, a decrease of
J180.4S3.812, a total trad decrease of $414.-671.343.
With the seating accommodation largely
increased, it is expected that the coliseum
will be able to seat any reasonable crowd
that seeks the afternoon's diversion. The
meet will commence at lac o'clock and
a special service of cars will be placed
on the St. John line from 12. o'clock
midday. "With a non-stop service. Colum
bia will be reached under the half-hour.
Honeyman Hardware Co. Trophies.
The Honeyman Hardware Company has
contributed several - handsome trophies
for the various amateur baseball leagues
of the city this season. The winning team
in the Interscholastic Baseball League
will receive a handsome loving cup. An
other loving cup is contributed to the
winning baseball team of the Federated
Men's Clubs' competition. A handsome
pennant is also, contributed for the Gram
mar Schools Athletic League baseball
season now in progress. The winning
team in the Salem-Portland relay race
will be tendered a loving cup by this
concern, and nine Spalding baseball bats
will be distributed among the leading
batsmen of the different amateur leagues.
