MITCHELL. . , "With thr news from the East that the i minor collnres had decldM to remove tiia ban from Summer baseball, a tar rry ha been hard among; baseball flarera of the various Northwestern colleges that the Northwest conference - sooner or later also will talce orr me restrictions. Members of the conference naturally rlll abide by the ruling; made at the i meeting last Fall at Bpokane. but It t even rumored that tha faculties or varl ; nut colleges, even In the conference, would concede some leeway to the stu tlent. outvlde of professional ranks, for once a profcssonal. always a profes sional." 1 the American-wide regula tion by which all sport enthusiast are While the conference rules allow a student to play on teams, other tnan professional, when a peclal written permit from Ms college faculty is is sued, few Northwestern college base hall men have seized the opportunity for f-ar of being ruled out or contested In some Intercollegiate conference sport. The University of Oregon faculty has iever passed on the subject of Summer baseball, leaving that matter to tha Jurisdiction of the athletic council, and a Oregon la a prominent member of the conference, the state university will , live up to all rulings, at least during ltl. I Action Will AVrigli. . It l. believed, however, by students seeking more athletic liberty that at . the conference meeting this year the action of the newlv-organlie.I "College Xbletlc Conference of the Mld'lla West." which Included ljke Forest. Be- ' Inlt. Monmouth. Armour Institute and ' Knox colleges, will carry considerable Wright when the matter again come up for discussion, as It will It was after a long debate that this Middle West conference last week de rided to let down the bars and allow the students to play the National gam daring the Summer months after the , college season Is over. Armour Insti tute led the fight. Professor II. C. Cof feen coming out frankly In favor of tha proposition of allowing the students to earn money during the vacation months. The proposal was enthu siastically taken up by the other rep xrsentatlveM and passed without a dis senting vote. Washington on Watrh. That the ftilverslty of Washington trill more closely watch Its athletes ; fT.ls year than heretofore, la vouch safed by Tean Mllner Roberts, chair- r man of the faculty athletic committee. who has declared that no college stu ' dent, who has accepted money for play ing Summer baseball, wtll be eligible , to play on the Waehlngton team this hpiing. The dean has made a personal ' Investigation of the athletic records of ' all the baseball candidates who. It Is : expected, will make bids for places on the 111 team, and he says. If any ' record Is unveiled proving that a col . leg candidate has engaged In Summer baseball for money he will be elim inated from the training squad and all games. Washington State College, also a member of the Northwest conference, .will continue to keep the bars up i against Summer baseball Insofar as the . professional game Is concerned, but the : faculty wll! Issue permission In re quested cases allowing the student to play bail. with other teams, but not for money. Whitman Cotlege faculty has opposed ' the Summer baseball plans from the beginning, and will so continue to op pose any move to allow Its students to participate In any professional games. Apropos to this stand ix opposition . I the expression of opinion of Pro- fessur Coffee, of Armour, who voice his sentiments In this wise: Violation of Hale Sure. ' "It Is a sure thing that students will ,plav baseball during the Summer, and ' to pass a rule prohibiting It only means t ist the student must tell lies In order t'? play. Other organisations which ikave passed rules prohibiting Summer 'baseball have found the rule a difficult one to enforce. We might as well 'take the bull by the horns and not pas rule that cannot be enforced." I-ak Forest, through Its representa tive at the mentioned meeting In Chi cago recently, expressed the belief that the students should be permitted to earn money during the Summer as best they might, and If baseball was found remunerative and to the enjoyment of a capable plarer. that he should be permute I to piny the game. What tne attitude of the Northwest ern conference will be at the 111 meet ing remains to be seen, but with such eviilence as the record of Henkle. of the I'nlverslty of Oregon, who pitched sev eral game for Seattle last year, and others of California and Kastern' col leges before the conference. It seems a possibility that the majority against Summer baseball this year may be cut down. SWIM IS WOX BY ARKETT 'Multnomah Scratch Entry Take 13- t wood Wile Trophy. .

Third Machine Built by Experiment Association Offered by Curtis to SmlthwonUn Institution. Th. famous June Bug. the first aero- nlinn to make an official flight In this country, haa been offered to the Smith sonian Institution at Washington by it designer. Glenn If. Curtlss. Since th pioneer American riyer -waa usea in making history It haa been stored In the Curtlss hangar on the shores of Lke Keuka. at Hammond uport. N. i the scene of It many flights. Th June Bug Is the third flying ma chine built by the Aerial Experiment Association, which waa composed of Mr. Curtlss. Dr. Alexander Graham Bell. F. W. Baldwin. J. A. 1. -alctjurny ana the late Lieutenant T. 8. Selfrldge. It la an Improvement on the Red Wlnjc and the White Wing, the first machines built by the association, and wa the first machine with which circling fllghta were accomplished. It waa with the June Mug mat mr- tlss won the first leg on the scientmc American trophy, on July 4. 190. This flla-ht wa the first public aeroplane contest In America and the first flight officially observed by the Aero Club of America. A peculiar coincidence wa that th Aero club was represented by Charles M. Manley. who assisted Pro fessor Langley In his experiment when he was connected with the Smith sonian Institution, which now receives his history-making machine. Compared with the well-known aero planes of todsy. this pioneer machine had many peculiarities of construction. t was peculiar In Its own day in that It waa one of the first aeroplanes to be mounted on wheels for running over the ground In getting Its initial start Instead of being shot from a rail by a falling weight. Practically every present-day aeroplane of standing ha nllowed this Idea. J. E. Maxon Drives Car Into Central Oregon on Roads Thought Impassable. INTERIOR IS FOUND BUSY Machine Shipped to' The. Dalles, Where Difficult Journey South ward Is Begun Bad Koads Encountered- on the Way. Bucking It way through .65 miles of snow, three feet deep In most places, going through many miles of mud, and yet traveling 325 miles In four days, a machine, driven by J. E. Maxon, made a trip unprecedented in the automobile annals of Central Oregon. The trip wa south through Central Oregon from Th Dalle to Paisley. Or. Shipping their car to The Dalles, the Journey was begun on February 13. Al though reputed to be an unlucky date. Mr. Maxon and C W. Wither con cluded to begin the long Jaunt regard less of consequences. ' Although persons familiar with the road conditions of the Deschutes River Canyon end the terri tory through which they must pass, told them the Journey in the dead of Win ter was little less than foolhardy, the two autmoblle enthusiasts started. All along the route they were told that their machine was the first one to make such a trip in Winter and one of the few car running In that section of the state at that time of year.

From there on It waa a case of buck. buck. buck, with the odds seemingly in favor of the elements. At time It wa all the little automobile could do to make headway at the rate of two miles an hour and at beat the going waa decided ly hard and machine-wracking. For more than 65 miles up hill and down dale this sort of going was .met with and overcome. At times It seemed to the driver that they would have to yield and go back, but they atuck to it nd won out. the car none the worse for wear, except for a amashed wind shield. In place the automobile- was more than 7500 feet above sea level and the thermometer waa close to aero. The party waa bound for Paisley, Or., 40 mile north of the California line, the home of Mr. Wither. Mr. Maxon la an expert automobile engineer, en gaged by the owner to drive the car inland.

'It waa a hard trip, one which would he enough to test the strength and run ning shinty of a steam engine." said Mr. Maxon last week, "but we pulled 1 through, thsnk to good luck and provl- I drnce. Everywhere we found things booming, especially In Redmond and Madras. In the latter city there were many kilo men by virtue of the railroad being Just completed to that point. About Redmond, though, there was an air of bustle and bustle that bespeaks well for the city. Irrigating la being done on all aldea of the city. "On the devert way south I saw many homesteads and aa astonished by the large number. Everywhere people I met were discussing the advantagea of hav ing a railroad through the territory.

Coates, as sistant manager, and Dave Patterson, field captain. It Is planned to arrange a big schedule of games, including con tests with any amateur team of West ern Oregon which desire to play. Al bany has material for a fast team and a strong one probably will be developed for the season of 1911. Practice will begin as soon as the Rambler Park grounds are put in condition.

"The automobile is running the uni versity extension courses and the farm ers' institutes a dust-cloud race In all parts of the country," said Rudolph Schmlttdlel, an automobile man of Chi' cago, after a long trip Into the coun try districts, lylnff south of Chicago. "As an educational force, the automo bile Is better than a seven-to-ten prop osition In the three-cornered race. "The farmer whose nearest neighbor Is a couple of miles away.

Albany High School has won' the basketball championship of the -high schools of the Willamette Valley and Southern Oregon. It has defeated all of the high schools in the southern part of the state and also all those on th east side of the Willamette Valley. It lost one game and won one In contests with th Newberg High School, champions of the West Side high schools, but lost by only four points on Newberg' floor and won by il points on It own floor, so on scores has beaten Newberg decisively. Albany lost a game by one point to McMlnnvlIle High School In that city and was unable to secure a return gam here, but Newberg defeated Mcaiinnville easily prior to Its overwhelming defeat at Albany's hands, the local school laya claim to the championship.

These patented tires out sell our clincher tires six to one, now that the price is equal. They cut tire bills in two. The No-Rim-Cut Tire This is the Goodyear No-Rim-Cnt tire, which trebled onr tiro sales last year jumped them to $8,500,000. It has become the sensation. Every man who knows it wants it. Millions of dollars are being saved motor car owners by the use of No-Rim-Cnt tires. Goodyear No-Rim-Cnt tires have no hooks on the base. They don't need to be hooked to the rim. Your removable rim flanges are set to curve outward when you use these patented tires. So the rounded edge comes next to the tire. One can run this tire deflated for 20 miles without the least sign of rim-cutting. The hooks are unnecessary -because we have invented an nnstretchable tire base." Into the base we vulcanize 126 braided piano wires. As the tire is inflated these braided wires contract. They hold the tire to the rim by a pressure of 134 pounds to the inch. No hooks are needed no tire bolts are needed. Nothing can force a No-Rim-Cut tire over the flange. We control this feature by patent. It gives ns the only Here is the clincher tire the ordl nary tire fitted on the same rim. Th removable rim flanges must be turned to curve inward to grasp hold of tha hook to dig into the tire when de flated. This tire can be ruined In a single block if you run it flat. 10 Oversize Goodyear No-Rim-Cut tires are made 10 per cent oversize. The hookless construction allows that Yet they cost no extra price. That means 10 per cent more air 10 per cent more carrying capacity. It means, with the average car, 25 per cent more mileage per tire. Fully 19 in 20 tires are overloaded- beyond the elastic limit. It is done by the extras the top, glass front, gas tank, extra tires, etc. Also by over weight passengers. Most of the blow outs are caused by this fact. Wo give you practicaltire with an nnstretchable base. It is the only safe tire which isn't hook ed to the rim the only desirable tire which can't rim -cut.
