No action has been taken by the local clins In the proposed series. An offer was discussed at a meeting of the Chicago League, but the home magnates are reluctant to oppose organised base ball by booking games with the Kansas Cltyans. Tha matter was Anally tabled ' until the next meeting, with the prospects favorable for Kling and his team event ually landing dates here. nicj-ele Marathon Planned. NEW YORK.

VaV 1I1!;rti,pa,e,1 ln college con tests have jcrfned the local organization, and some of the m,.i v ..nrit7BU),H races of the season will be pulled off on the water. Although, rowing Is principally a college sport, so far as racing is con cerned, a number of clubs in the dif ferent towns. and cities adjoining the water are taking an Interest in. the sport, and produce teams that compare yery favorably with the trained college teams. . It Is the intention of the Portland Rowing Club to have a regatta during the Rose Festival, and Invite the clubs and teams of the Coast universities to participate in the events. There will L0. -ny; reKatta at the Reposition for the Eastern teams, owing to the dif ficulty in arranging with the Fair authorities for transportation for the visiting teams. Therefore it Is up to the colleges and clubs of the Coast to put their heads together and arrange meets that will promote" the welfare of the sport. If possible, Stanford, Ber keley and the University of Washing ton will be prevailed upon to attend the Festival, and one of the best row ing matches of the season will be seen at that time. Coach Coming From Stanford. The local club members will use their own experience in the training line for the present, but after May .12 they will have the services of one of the best coaches in the country to put them through their paces.

I w-ho is now training the Stanford team will be hired to take charge of the prospective rowers, and as there is some good material to draw from it is thought that there will be a team In Portland. that will have a pood chance to win the honors of the Coast. Art Allan, who has had the position of bow for three years, is now In New Zealand, but Is expected back In Portland be fore the season is far' advanced, and to take his old place in the senior team. Rex Cnnant, the Stanford stroke, who rowed No. 3 for' the Portland club last year, is also out of town at the present time, but will be back in three or four weeks. Craig McMlcken and Tr. Byron Loomis. who belonged to the senior team lsst vear art i and their muscles are tingling with the prospect of getting busy with the oars once more. The club has a valuable addition this year in the person of" Townsend, who was on the University of Pennsylvania eight, and who wlil enter the ranks for a place on the club four. The club has no eight-oared shell. Moore, of Vancouver, who is in the city, will also be a candidate. A number of Multnomah football players will also turn out for a tryout; besides a number of other M. A. A. C. mem bers. Ed Gloss, the single sculler, who was the champion of the Coast until last year, has sent to England for a new single shell, and this is now on the way to Portland. Gloss was beaten last year, but intends to redeem himself this season. In addition ' to the rowing events, there will be a series of contests insti tuted among the canoeists. These races will be a feature of the Rose Fes tival, also as a side issue of the row ipg races. These races are short and, as the canoes are frail and liable at any time to upset in a race, are ex tremely Interesting. The preside'nt of the club. Ralph Wil liams, has gone to Seattle to make defi nite plans for the season and to sched ule as many races and other events as possible for the coming season. Latest style pumps at Rosenthal's.
