preparatory to open in a: the aeaaon. and
the period between now and the open
ing: of the pennant rare Is when the
fan's anstulah over pennant prospects
ia almost as acute as durlns: the wind-
up of a hard-foiiicht strttasle.
Naturallr the mind of every fan Is
on the "makeup- of the team repre
senting- Ms home town, and the larare
number of baseball followera of this

and new hands, alike, corre In for dl-
ru.ston. an.l. In order to enlighten the
fans on the aMIity of the prospective
i-oriiand players, the writer will take
Into consideration the fonr cardinal
points to be considered In tha matter
f pennant winning.
ia tne nrst place It la necessary to
core runa to win baseball a-amea. Thla
Is the paramount Uaue In baaebajl. and.
in contract. ba.tttnc averaaes, while an
absolute necessity, count for little. It la
the man who scores runs who wins tha
came, and whether he hits .OkS or .404
loea net count In the modern irame If
, ine piayer crosses the plat often
enearh. However, a Itlance at tha table
wnirh precedes this article will show
the fans that M.-Credlea prospective
players rank hlah In the most Import
ant departments, especially Id run-
arettlna;.
HcHlgrrs nrst Rnnfcrttrr.
In this respect ilcCredle seems to
nave lined up an exceptionally Rood
bunch of rtmrrtters. for the I'ortland
players, exclusive of jjitchers and
catchers, scored a total of 4S" runs
last seaion. The beet runirettrr of the
bunch Is a new man. Will Hod iters, who
reaistered T runs In 114 frames. This
la a remarkable record, and taklna Into
consideration the fact that Rodger
stole (I bases, the second requisite of
a successful player. It can be seen that
he promises to be a regular player be
yond a doubt.
Ability to pet around the bases seems
to be one of Kodarrs' appointments, for
a piayer who can score runs In 1:4
Fames Is speedy enough to be riven a
thoroiiah trial In any company, and
that he will make itood In the Pacific
oast Leaaue seems a certninty. Irving
ougn ais- naa a splendid record for
the past season, as he scored runs In
101 games, which Is an excellent per
centaae. Hough also hit for an average
of .30. and Is the only recruit outside
of Walter Kuhn who made an average
In what la generally termed the "slugger
rlaas. or batamen who hit .SO or better.
Kodgers. however, batted IM. which Is
considered fine hitting In these days of
improved pitching.
Chad bourne, another of the new men
secured by McCredie. registered &1 runs
In 110 games, which i also a tirst-class
percentage. Chadbourne played with
Indianapolis last year, and the Amerl
can Association, of which league that
Clun la a member. Is the only Class A
organization which compares with the
Tactile Coast League, and If he was able
to make such a good showing In that
circuit, ne ought to prove a valuable
man for the Portland team.

With a final series of three games
between the Young Men's Christian As
sociation Spartans, Multnoman Amateur
Athletic Club and the Hawthorne teams
the ending of the Columbia Basketball
League aeaaon will begin this week.
After a long season of playing In which
nearly 40 games have been played, the
three above-mentioned teams have
emerged In the three top positions.
Wednesday night of this week the
Multnomah Club quintet will oppose the
Hawthorne team on the floor of the
Christian Brothers' Itusiness College,
Orand avenue and Clackamas streets.
The following Tuesday night the Spar
tana and Hawthornes will meet on the
same floor. Monday night. March .
the final game of the league series will .
be played between the Spartans and
Multnomah Club teame on tha Multnomah Club gymnasium. Thirteenth and
Montgomery 'streets.
Never In the history of sport In Portland has basketball had a boom like
that of this year. Heretofore It has been customary to have a few games be
tween Independent clubs and the Inter scholantle league games. At the start
of the Fall sporting season, however, the Columbia llasketbnll League was
orgnnlzed. The play was for the Colum bla Hardware Company silver trophy.
Flftv-sU games were scheduled. Not all were played, but the majority were.
The three contestants of the next three weeks of plav are amon Oregon's
best teams. It Is asserted by their adherents that the Spartans are the equal
of the famous Dallas Oregons. The Spartans have arranged for a barnstorm
ing trip next month. The team will j north Into Puget Sound and Ilrltinh
Columbia.
The Multnomah Club team, owing to the age limit rule enacted, was not
allowed to play aome of Its best men. but nevertheless had a representative
live. Except for the game against the crack Spartans Multnomah was not
beaten.
The Hawthornes. hitherto unknown, by their clean-cut playing won the
plaudits or the basketball fans.
There were many previously unknown players brought Into the limelight
by means of this league. Some of the best men played with some of the
poorer teams. Multnomah brought out Kroop. Pugh, Welch and Oetty: the
Spartans had Hartman. Sheets. Sweeney and Wetzel, and Hawthorne, besides
Moore, bad a good guard In MrKeen. The tall-end team. h.rrf iirht foe
honors. These teams were Behnke-Wal ker, Cuba and Catholic Young Men's

That the 1911 tennis season In the
Pacific Northwest will be one of the
best In the history of the game is the
aim of those who have been and still
are the boosters of the sport through
out this part of the country.
Plans have so far materialized for
this year that Portland will have the
pleasure of seeing Maurice McLough
lin. the famous California crack, in ac
tion in several exhibition mtrtches with
such men as Wickersham. Uorrill
Srhwengers and others. No doubt add
ed interest to the game will be given
this year, particularly at the time of
McLoughlin'a appearance, which. It Is
planned, will be during the play for the
international championship in this city
the honors of which are held by Ber
nard Schwengers. of Victoria. In the
singles, and Wickersham and Gorrill,
of this city. In the doubles.

Besides the players so far named.
Portland has Artie Krueger and Buddy

players, and both are assured of hold

ing the coming race.
In the figures compiled above.' Neal
Pall makes the poorest abowlng. but
deaplte this It Is generally admitted
that he Is a great minor league player.
His poor average denotes tils work with
the Cleveland American League team,
with which organization he was a util
ity role player. Had he been -.regularly
employed In some position he
would likely have made a better show
ing, for some players slump la their
work when playing the bench too much.
Ball, at present. Is dissatisfied with
the Idea of playing with Portland, for
he wants to secure a berth In the Kast
ern League or American Association.
With men like Rndgers and Kuhn on
his payroll. McCredie does not have to
worry over Ball, for either of these two
players ran take Ball's place with ease,
for they are rising stars In baseball,
and the former Clevelander will do him
self an Injury by remaining In the hold
out class, and at the same time favor
the young and ambitious lads who are
quite likely to supplant m unless he
aomes to time.
Pill Lapps and Tommy Sheehan are
both steady, reliable players, though
neither la a speed marvel on the bases.
However, they have demonstrated their
sterling worth to the team, and can be
expected to deliver the goods once .more.
Roger Pecklnpaugh Is an ambitious
young player of marked ability, and
his rungettlng proclivities pronounce
him to be a Arst-claaa plarer. and one
who will add strength to the Portland
team.

With better teamwork the Washing
ton High School soccer football team
defeated the Jefferson High School ag
gregation yesterday afternoon on the
Columbus Club field. The score was 1
to 0, the single goal being made in
the early part of the game by Fred
Adams from a well-placed shot from
the right wing. ...
While neither team , played really
good football the game was the best
of the season because of the tenacity
with which the men fought. They
stopped at nothing and played their
hardest from the beginning of tha
game to the last.
Washington had the better of the
game throughout, by virtue of better
team play, but the Jefferson defense
men headed off any more than the one
goal. Jefferson's men kicked wildly.
the ball going directly to a Washing
ton man almost Invariably. Team
play was entirely lacking.
The weather waa Ideal for soccer
and the field waa in good condition
for a fast game. The game was not
as fast as so small a score would indi
cate, although at time the playing
waa lively and spectacular. There was
much rough work and many falls were
taken, but none resulted seriously.
Referee Dick, of Multnomah Club, kept
a steady rein on the boys and officiated
nicely.
Jefferson won the toss and Washing.
ton kicked off. Jefferson soon got the
ball and much of the play for the first
five minutes waa In Washington's terri
tory. Then for about IS minutes tha
play was even up. with Washington
possibly a little ahead becatise of bet
ter passing. Then after a play In
front of Jefferson's goal Adams got tha
ball on a pas's from Gordon and In.
stead of passing as wss anticipated by
tne jerrerson defense, he shot, the ball
passing into the net above Tammer
lalne'a head.
Thereafter during the first half the
play was even with Washington more
confident. During the second half it
was the same old story of zig-zag. and
only the sensational work of Goal
keeper Tammerlalne prevented Wash

tional title holder, will defend her
championship claim in the Oregon State !

play here during the progress of the
North Pacific International champion
ships.
The above proposed tennis pro
gramme for this part of the country
will be passed upon at the annual meet
ing of the United States National Lawn
Tennis Association at Its meeting in
New York on March 25, and probably
will receive the sanction of the com
mittee. President Andrews, of the
North Pacific International Association,
has been busily engaged for the month
past arranging a satisfactory schedule
of dates that will not conflict in any
respect, and by the above arrangement
apparently has accomplished a rather
difficult task, for each of the eight
clubs have been notified of this pro
gramme and so far no request for a
change has been made.
.There has been some talk of trying
the plan of holding the play of Oregon
State and North Pacific International
at the some time here this year. But
this plan Is hardly feasible, owing to
the fact it would hardly give the Port
land players time to get In trim for the
best championship play of the season.
The holding of the Oregon State in July
thus puts the Portland men and women
In trim for a long- seaaon.

LOS ANGELES. Ctl., Feb. 18.
(Special.) A large crowd at Ho
tel Virginia courts at Long
Beach today saw McLoughlin, the
. Auburn-haired player of North
ern California, lower the colors
of Tom Bundy, the Los Angeles
man who, when in championship
form, is the second best man in
the world.
The come-back was a terrific
one, but Bundy seemed to be suf
fering an off-day, as he drove
into the net repeatedly. This
continuous error absolutely lost
him the last set. The score was
6-3. 8-6. 6-4.

Two Clubs to Be Hosts.
Furthermore, the Oregon State play
this year Is to be held under the aus
pices of the Multnomah Club and the
International under the auspices of the
Irvlngton club.
Chairman McAlpin, of the Multnomah
tennis committee, is working overtime
planning for a most successful tourna
ment for the stute championship, and
with such an experienced man as chair
man the same may he assured.
The Invlngton Club's tennis commit
tee chairman has not yet been named,
but C. N. Brewer and Lou Starr have
been suggested. It is probable that
President Woodward will make his
choice when he returns to Portland the
first of the month, though the question
requires attention even now, owing to
the many matters which arise in con
nection with the position.
The successful year of 1910 which
both the Irvlngton and Multnomah
clubs enjoyed from a tennis standpoint
has been most gratifj-ing to the mem
bers of both institutions and the year
1911 promises to be even better. The
Multnomah fire unfortunately struck
the club hard and at a vital time, bu
despite this tennis was kept alive i
the advantage enjoyed on the cemen
courts.

ADEIlSO, VOSI'KB (CAPTAIN ASD COACH).
In selecting a chairman for the Tennis
Committee for 1911. the directors of the
Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club chose.
In A. B. McAlpin. one of the best-informed
tennis- men in the Pacific North
west. Not only as a player doca the
veteran McAlpin loom up in amateur
athletic realms' in Portland, but also as
a promoter ofc-clean athletics. McAlpin
might correctly be termed "The Father
of Multnomah."
He was one of the men who started the
club In 192. and ever since has mani
fested club spirit that has been a reve
lation to the younger members of Port
land's big athletic organization. McAlpin
lias: done as much for local amateur ath
letics as any man in the city. He has
taken active part in almost every branch
of club activity, having been athlete and
officer for years.
His function at the winged "M" insti
tution the seaeion ending with the club's
fiscal year, February 12, was that of
chairman of the handball committee. It
was partly through his efforts that the
membership waa provided with a fine
large handball court at the temporary
quarters on Lownsdale street. His ener
gies for the club were not confined
merely to the channels of handball; they
expanded and took in every branch of
the club, and with many of the Mult
nomah veterans McAlpin waa among the
first to render aid when the clubhousa
was burned last July.
McAlpin has been chairman of tennis at
Multnomah before, and h.e knows the art
of handling tournaments; in fact, he has
been Instrumental in teaching the
youngor generation of clubmen how to
successfully carry them out. "Knowing
the ropes," Mr. McAlpin has already be
gun work shaping the destinies of the
annual Multnomah Club handicap tennin
tourney for the Katz challenge cup, and
later his efforts will, be required to shape
up the plans for the Oregon State cham
pionship tournament.
Mr. McAlpin is also a member of The
Breakers Tennis Tournament committee.
At a recent meeting of The Breakers
committee arrangements for conducting
this year s event were made. Aa hereto
fore, the tournament will be held during
the latter part of August.
Eugene Mersereau was chosen chair
man of the committee; T. Morris Dunne
was chosen vice-chairman, and Albert
G. Wakeman. secretary. Other members
of this year's committee are: A. B. Mc
Alpin, w. A. Goss. James Alexander, JR.
R. Warinner and Irving Rohr.
Mesurs. warriner and Wakeman have
given a cup for the men's handicap sin
gles. First and second prizes will be
provided for all events, which are as
follows: Breakers' championship men's
scratch singles, men's handicap singles.
mens handicap doubles, women's handi
cap singles, women's handicap doubles
and mixed doubles.
Irving Rohr and James Alexander have
been made the members of the 1911 enter
tainment committee. In all Its phases
The Breakers tennis tournament looms
more promising than at any time since il
was established.

Star Final Score Is 22 to 19,
but Contest Is Tied Through
Great Fart of Last Half.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene.
Feb. 18. (Special.) In a spirited con
test that was nip and tuck from whistle
to whistle, the University of Washing
ton basketball five played a strong up
hill game here this afternoon and
forged ahead of the Oregon men in the
last minute of play, winning by a 32 to
13 score. This is the first defeat that
Hayward's men have met at the hands
of a college team.
Because the gymnasium floor had
been polished for the freshman glee to
take place this evening the game was
made unduly rough and team play un
certain, but the treachery of the floor
served as a mutual handicap.
The particular feature of the game
was the performance of Captain Clem
entson, of Washington, who came down
the floor from his position at left guard
and landed 10 points on field goals. The
big Northerner possesses a deadly drib
ble which could not be solved, by the
Oregonians. Olsen elusively annexed
four field goals and Staatz, who re
placed Sugg at right forward for the
second half, contributed the other four
points at a critical juncture.
For Oregon, Jamison and Fenton
starred, each throwing three baskets
from the field. Sims, at guard, was in
strumental In breaking up many forma,
tions contrived by the Evergreen men.
Leading all the way and closing the
first half with the score 11 to 8, the
Oregon men tired perceptibly during
the latter half and allowed the splendid
fight shown by the Washingtonians to
accomplish a foreign victory. For
breathless intervals the score was tied
at 14-14. 16-16 and 18-18. but finally
Just before time was called, Clement
son and Olson broke the spell of alter
nation by sliding In two goals in rapid
succession.
Though the rival universities split
even here, Oregon still leads the North
west conference in percentages. In
playing the other teams of the confer
ence hitman, Pullman and Idaho
each has won all its games, but Wash
ington has won only six contests. Ore
gon has played one more game and
thus leads In the percentage column.

HANDBALL TITLE IS TAKEN
Jones and Watkins Are Multnomah
Champions.
Retaining their supremacy as doubles
handball champions of the Multnomah
Amateur Athletic Club for the fifth suc
cessive year, Arthur O. Jones and Frank
B. Watkin3 yesterday afternoon defeated
Dick. Jones and Milt Frohman on the
Multnomah Club court, thereby winning
the 1911 championahlp and the Cieland
cup. '
Despite the fact that they owed five
points on every game and their oppon
ents received three, the Watkins-Jones
team won out after they had gained their
"second wind." The younger men took
the first game amid the applause of a
large and enthusiastic gallery. The score
was 21-14.
Thereupon the team work which has
made the Jones-Wotkins duo the four
time city champions became apparent
and the aspirants for the honors suc
cumbed, but only after a hard battle.
Showing their old-time speed, skill and
ingenuity Watkins and Jones defeated
the younger Jones and Frohman in the
second game of the match, 21-11. Much
of the play was spectacular and some of
the shots were extremely difficult.
For the final and decisive game both,
teams started out to win and the play
was fast and furious. It was a see-saw
game with the champions fighting hard
to overcome the opposing team s handi
cap. They did this eventually, but In the
meantime the Jones-FTohman combina
tion had got well up toward the neces
sary 21 points. Then with a little luelc,
combined with clever playing, the vet
erans of the years past came to th
front and won the game and match. Th
final score read, 14-21, 21-11, 21-19.
Of recent years there has been na
match in the Multnomah Club handball
court that has attracted as much atten
tion as the finals of the Cieland cup
tournament did yesterday afternoon. And
seldom in any tournament has the pla
been generally as clean and fast.
