MY I'ORTLS I1AXTKK. SEATTLE. April 20 . Special. The first week of the pennant race In the Northwestern Lraxue strengthens the impreeion of the preliminary practice that the teams are better balanced th:in they were In the Spring; of 1911. Victoria has made a splendid showing In Spokane, much -In contrast with their initial efforrs year tso. Despite the acknowledged strength of the Vancouver champions, the Tacoma tigers have given them somehlnj to think about. In fact, the Tigers should have had two out of the first three tnxtead of wlnntnr ojie and losing two. The unsteady work of pitchers at dif ferent stages of games and condition of players has made it rather difficult to get a satisfactory Idea of the rel ative strength of the Portland and . Seattle teams. Portland appears to he the steadier team Just now, especially when Hobby .oltrln is playing short. His bad ankle compelled him to be out of the open Ins; jrnme. and later on he retired in the middle of a contest. Matties, who took his place, is not yet sure on . (t round balls. He vis lucky In the opening same to escape much work. , I do not hesitate to say that the Port land infield Is better than it was at the start In 1SI1. when Ort was at tnlrd. Mensor t short. Casey at sec ond and Williams at first. . . Kibble ITMlm Well. While Kibble may not be a .300 hit ter, taking .2"3 record in Helena a year ico aa a basis, he Is more reliable than Ort and a much better fielder. In my opinion he is going to prove a very good third Backer. Coltrln Is a better ' shortstop than Mensor. but not so val uable a man to the team. Mensor is now playing the game of his career at erond. and. for that matter, in all -tepartments of the game, so he is an improvement on Casey, a really won lerful player, who was handicapped by i bad leg. Williams not only is a good .lrt ilckrr. but a dangerous hitter. Speas left. Storall center and Mun iorff right made up the Portland out field last Spring. Speas alone remains f the trio. Mather, is not up to Mundorffs mark in speed or hitting, but he is not a fizzle br any means. Strait has been :he hitting sensation of the week, so :here Is no use comparing him with p'tovalL If he continues be will be even a better clubber than Petttgrew, who closed the season In left for Port land last year. Yes. Strait looks like a find. Maff Better Tfcaa la 18)11. Without going into detail It may he aid tl.at the present Portland pitching staff is not only stronger but working better than the one Nick Williams had in lsll. He thought the old one was going to be a hummer, but It went to pieces from the Jump. Eastleyi Bloom field and Tonneson are working good, and although Ioty, from Kalamazoo, lost control In his first game, he went like a house afire at first. Harris Is a first-class backstop, and very timely hitter. . As I predhted prior to the opening of the season, the Seattle team's work in the Infield Is somewhat ragged. :'hick is not a second baseman, but has lone" fairly good work. Raymond may think he Is all right physically, but the operation on his neck for an ab scess has left him weak. Dulln haa fielded around third at an average pace, but has done much hard and timely hitting. Weed Is better at first than he was last year and his batting has been one of the strong points of the club. As toon as Hosea Slner's back will permit It he should go to second base. Chick switch over to short and Ray mond take a rest. Chick did not bat well In the first league games, but he was hitting the ball hard Just previous. He is' accustomed to playing on the left-hand side OT second, and 1 think he will show up better at short than he haa at second. .noraa tiraad Player. . Seattle has a grand young bail plaver In Pat Moran. who has been holding down left. Mann. In center, haa a world of speed and is improving In his fielding. Trying to bat left-r-andej he was useless, having no Idea where the ball was coming. Turning around to right-hand hitting he showed j tie form that made him a hitter In t.ie Mink League Inst year. Crulck shank went into right after a long lay off, and naturally he did not hit at first. His knee may be all right: and everybody is hoping that It will not ko back on him again. Seattle's pitching staff Is still "pros pective." beyond Charlie Fullerton. Sir harles is a wizard. Will James and Pete Schneider look good. Mclvor will be effective if he gains control. With this boy It is simply a question of time before he will be good. Ingersoll may prove a pleasant surprise. Seattle Cava To letorln. Portland and Seattle close their first series tlita afternoon. The game will be called at 2:30 o'clock Instead of 1 as la the rule on weekdays. After the am the Seattle club will go to Vic toria for the openltvg game Monday. Portland remains In Seattle, aa the home team, and plays Tacoma Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday. Thursday Portland and Tacoma play In Tacoma. Seattle and Victoria coming here. Van c oijver plays the entire week in Spo kane. One of the coincidences of the Seattle-Portland series bubs up In the dis covery that I'ort'and beat Seattle the third game 12 to . the same- score t.i.it Seattle beat Portland a year ago. Kach made the same number of tal lies, seven. In the big scoring Inning, but w'lllr Portland got only seven hits Seattle had nine. COKVAI.LIN TRACK MUX ACTIVE Athlete Preparing- for Meet With .

Manager Pays of San Fram-lM-o Klrt Official Visit City With Club. Tea m to Portland housed a baseball stranger lst week. The man In question is-no other than Daniel W. Lonif, San Fran cisco baseball manager. Although he has been at fne helm of the San Fran cisco club for five years, this Is his maiden trip to the home of the Beav ers. Longs contract with the California club does not require him to leave the home grounds unless he so desires. which accounts for his position as one of the few. or possibly only manager, who can say that after five seasons he has never seen his men In action in all parks of the circuit. While Long is not a well-known fig ure In Portland, there are few. If any. fans who have not heard of the San Francisco manager, and the strange feeling -wore off within a . few days. Now he says that he will "be In Port land again ere the season is over, mak ing it twice in si seasons. Long is one of the oldest baseball men on the I-aclfic Coast. He started In his professional career In Oakland, Cal.. In issl. when at the age of 1 years he was pitcher for the tHxkland Emeralds, with Rip" Van Haltren, present Northwestern umpire, as re ceiver. Two seasons afterward he switched to centerfleld, while "Van" went from behind the plate to the mound. Long captained the Oakland State League team of 18, and in 1XX9 the team won the pennant, with an Invasion of the old National Leaguavby many of the players following. The present Seal chief went to the Baltimore Orioles, but In 11 he was back on the Coast again, playing m-tth Oakland. He broke his ankle during the season and retired from active duty. He went back to his old occu pation of stenographer, but kept in touch with baseball, and In 1S7 he handled the Coast -trip of the Balti more team. In 1901 he booked the 1-aJole combination, in 1902 the Na tional and American all-stars, and In lo9 the Athletic-National teams which toured the West. Five years ago Cal Kwing persuaded Long to take over the management of the Seals. Long was never a phenomenal bat ter, but depended on his speed for suc cess In baseball. He was rated as one of the fastest men on the bases In the old days and covered an Immense amount of ground In centerfleld. As a pitcher he was only fair, using a raise curve. From the old Oakland team of 1SS9. the National League received.

(iuninrn Affiftrtl 1-f-t Vear. Hunters have generally been con Jiea to te in a maiorilv over anglers In Oregon, but a glan at the returns of licenses for both branches or trie sport reveal an ntirely opposite state of affairs ever since 1909. the first-year In which the anglers' license law went Into effect. During the year that the bunteri' license bill beame law. to be precise, in 1901. permits to the number of J40 were granted to sportsmen to hunt In Multnomah County, with an Increase of almost a thousand for the following year. In 1907 there were no less than 4X30 licenses. whll the following year saw the 6000 marked topped. Next season the anglers' license law went Into effect, with the result that 41(1 flshermon took out permits, while th hunters dropped from their previ ous high water mark down to 3770. Combination tickets, also issued for the first time this year, which granted permission for botli forms of spurt, numbered 1724. Figures for the last two years fol low: 1910 1911 Hunlera 19S 4J23 Arglers 94 1 7791 Combination fili 2'itJ Tho drop In the number of hunters Is explained by the fact that shooting of China pheasants was not allowed last year. At the present tiinei an Inveetlgutlon of the statements from the various County Cle-rks with resard to t'ie amounts of the license funds Is lelng undertaken by the State Fish and Oame Comunlaston. As a result it is shown that In some cases there has been con siderable horiage. list . year one, statement revealed a deficit of 7i. while the year before the tieasury was over $HI0 si.oi t. and this year it would sem as though there IS still J3"ii to he raked in. Another point notl. ei In checking over the ccourts was that many nun- residents have come into the city to take out resident licenses, with the in tention of retting the cheaper rates of $V for each Instead of i and flu re spectively for tfie nonresident anglers' d hunters' permits.

What is undoubtedly one of the strongest aggregations of secondary school track and Held stars ever de veloped In the Northwest will repre sent Portland at the University of Cal ifornia all-coast high school meet next Friday and Saturday at Berkeley. None of the preparatory schools out side of the three high schools will be represented on the squad. Sixteen men will make the trip, the schools being represented as follows: Washington 10, Jefferson 4. and Lincoln .2. The squad will leave Tuesday night on the Shasta Limited, arriving -t Berkeley Wednesday night. Thurs day will be passed In training, and Friday the preliminaries will take place. Saturday the championship of the Coast will be decided. The squad will return the following day. Smith May Make Trip. Washington will send Paul Wilson, Vers Windnagle.

William Blbee, Robert ljtngley and Kenneth Alorrison. and Lincoln will send Robert Woodworth and Basil Smith, if the latter recovers In time to make the trip. He has been ill for the past few days. In the Columbia University track meet last Saturday the three schools which are sending men south reprosented the three highest point winners in the open and the aca demic events among the competing high schools from all parts of Oregon. The performances of these stars at that meet Indicate that they are In many events almost on a par with col lege athletes.

Washington High will havs the strongest group of Individual stars, It Is thought. There probably will be lew men In the meet who will Ira able to approach Orant In the 120-yard dash. The relay team which will represent the school has not been selected by Coach (Veatch. and will not be until the Thursday practices at Berkeley. However. Orant will be one of the team and Nelson another.

Motor Boat Clab Notes If the plans which the Portland Mo tor Boat Club and the Commercial Club of St. Johns have under discussion ma terialize there will be an interesting series of motor boat races on the Wil lamette River down stream a few miles. The Elks' convention gave the mo torboat club an appropriation and the prizes that will be put up will bring in some fast boats from Puget Sound and Astoria. Mayor A. G. Rushlight became a member of the Portland Motor Boat Club Wednesday evening at a meeting of the trustees. Fleet Captain' George Kinnear has been hitting the high places at Oregon City Falls. He caught a salmon last Tuesday weighing 'steen pounds. Johnnie Wolf's new 20-foot speed boat is nearlng completion. He is get ting ready to install the machinery at the present time. , Joe Carter and Mr. Smith, new mem bers of the club, have been oerhaul lng their speed boat, the Keno.

Kelly, can be seen any Sunday morning with his cruiser around the clubhouse. He Is getting her fixed up In fine shape. The Rober Machinery Company pre sented the Portland Motor Boat Club at Its meeting of the trustees Wednes day evening with a full set of officers' flags. Earnest von der Werth reports that Mr. Cooper's fine new boat, Charmalee 2. will be completed about May 1. She will be the smoothest proposition on tne 'river.

Salmon trout fishing In the low er Lewis River is good again, as there seems to be a new run of fine fish. D. W. Whitlow, of Woodland, one of the most ardent fishermen with hook and line in this section, caught 12 trout in less than three hours last Sunday and seven in two hours on Tuesday. The 12 caught Sunday weighed nine pounds altogether and the largest one two and one-half pounds. These were caught above what is known as the Jacobson Ferry, about a mile above the railway bridge across Lewis River.

COLLEGE RECORDS FALL America it Intereollegate Mark for High Hurdles Is Tied" by Berke ley Cardinals Make Poor Showing In Sprints. STANFORD. Cal., April 20. Before 6000 spectators today the University of California overwhelmed Stanford In their 19th annual track meet, pcoring 80 5-21 points to 4116-21 for the Car dinals. Stanford captured only four firsts out of 14 the relay, the mile, the half mile and the high Jump. Cali fornia not only took a majority of the firsts, but of second and third places as well. Eight Stanford-California track rec ords were smashed, five by California and three by Stanford. Deming MacLise, of California tied the American intercollegiate record in the high hurdles in 15 2-5. Former Records Are Smashed. W. D. Fletcher, Stanford, lowered the mile record to 4:28 2-5. Former rec ord 4:31. Earl Crabbe, California, covered the two miles in 9:55 3-5. Former record (held by himself) 9:59. Karl. Shattuck, California, threw the hammer 161 feet 2 inches. Former rec ord 157 feet 5 inches. Fred Allen.

Former record 6 feet i Inches. Stanford's winning four-man relay team covered the course in 3:22 3-5. Former record 3:24 2-5. Former Victor Is Third. Stanford's poor showing in the sprints resulted in her overwhelming defeat. Captain Coleman, heretofore undefeated, could do no better than" third In the 100-yard, and strained tendon in the furlong event before he got well under way. Freshman Stanton, of California, won both of these races. Fletcher, Stan ford's winning miler, was hardly con ceded a place in the early prognostica tions. Bonnell, a Stanford freshman, won the half mile In the prettiest race of the day. The 440-yard run was won in the fast time of 50 3-5 by Todd, of Cali fornia, who "nosed out" Campbell at the tape. Crabbe, winner of the two mile, had Dodge, of Stanford, at his heels the entire Journey and barely beat him in the linal sprint. Vail, of California, tied with Miller. of Stanford, in the pole vault at 12 feet. The relay provided one of the clos est contests of the day, with Wallace, of Stanford, overcoming a lead of 12 yards in the final lap. Claudius lost the race for California.

By win ning the Times' modified marathon of 12 miles in one hour 12 minutes and 8 seconds, today, Philip Zeyouma, of the Sherman Indian School in River side, not only , established what offi cials said to be a new wrorld's record for cross-country running for 12 miles. but probably insured himself a place on the United States team of runners that , w-ill . be sent to compete in the Olympic games in Stockholm. Zeyouma finished his race strong. The record for 12 miles is 1:02:00, but this was made on a prepared track, and officials of today's race Baid the Indian's time was a record. Out of an entry list of 138, repre senting athletic clubs from all over the Pacific Coast, 180 started in to day's race. San Francisco won second and third, and Los Angeles took fourth and fifth.

Minor Baseball Owing to the resignation of tlie for mer manager of the Greenfield Blues, the team has been organized and the former schedule will be abandoned. Some of the dates have been signed up for the second time, but a good many more can be filled with out-of-town games. The team has received two ad ditions which are expected to strengthen the aggregation considerably, Joe Tuerck, formerly of Oregon Agricul tural College, and Phil La Rue having Joined the nine during the week. The Greenfields would like to have a few fast fielders Join the aggregation. For games and tryouts call Marshall 2311, and ask for Charles Fitzgerald. The Wintoii Six baseball aggregation plays Clatskanie at the Lower Colum bia town today. The battery for the Portland team will be W hetstone 'and ESflea. The Winton Six team was to be a member of the proposed Automo bile Baseball League, which had to give up .trying to play because of the scarc ity of grounds In Portland and vicinity. . The Baltimore Dairy Lunch baseball era will go to Oak Grove today, where they have a game scheduled with the Oak Grove team. Odell and Reeves probably will be the battery to start the game for the Portland aggregation. The players are requested to meet at First and Alder streets at 11:45 o'clock. The feeders' team would like an out-of-town game for next Sunday. Reuben Ka3ofsky is the manager, and can be reached at the Pioneer Stationery Com pany. According to Sol Reichanbach there seems to have been an idea prevalent among the semi-pro teams of the city that St. Paul was a bad town to play with because of . the poor management of the team. Reichanbach, manager of the O.-W. R. & N. team, contradicts the idea most emphatically, and declares that e baa never met a better man aged team nor played in a town where the crowd was better behaved. The trouble Was started by a Portland team, which had Its date cancelled because the St. Paul team entirely outclassed it. . The Columbus Club baseball team plays at Estacada this afternoon against the Estacada town nine. The Estacada aggregation tins been generally vic torious with teams that have come from Portland this Spring, and the Columbus Club, which is recognized as one of the strongest teams in Portland, will make an attempt to end the victories of the country team, The Timms-Cress nine will play the Salem aggregation this afternoon at Salem. The Timms Cress lineup is: Bleef, catcher; McClellan, pitcher: Duffy, first base; Robhins, second base: Smith, shortstop: McDonald, third base; and F. Uleeg. Tauscher, Hincks and Vilon. fielders.

The Meier & Frank baseball aggre gation will 'meet the Vancouver Inde pendents at Vancouver ,tod:v. Harlow and Black will lie in the b'x for the Portland team, while Bahler will do the receiving. OLYMPIAD MARKS KKVIVAL Sweden Building Stadium and lland liiiS Krent as Nation. NEW YORK, April 20. (Special.) It is the fact that for the first time since the days of ancient , Greece a government is conducting an Olympiad; building the stadium, supervising tha games and, more Important still, fool ing the bills. Despite the widespread publicity at tending preparations for the games at Stockholm next July there has been practically nothing said regarding this important phase of the event, and Pro fessor William M. Sloano. of this city a founder of the Olympic games revival, was the only one who could explain the situation. ' Professor Sloano. who is still a member of the International Olympic Grimes Committee, believes t'no fact that the Swedish government is "running" the games to bo held next Summer marks an Important epoch in the history of the revival of this his toric event. Incidentally he said that it Is practically certain that Berlin will be the scene of the next games after the Olympiad at Stockholm. "The first games of the revival of the Olympiad were appropriately held at Athens," said Trofessor Sloane, "and while the King deputized the Crown Prince, the Puke of Sparta, to take charge, the funds to defray the ex pense of the games were raised by un official subscription. At Paris and St. Louis there was no really official su pervision nor at London, except the support of the powerful Karl's Court. The status of this Olympiad is. accord ingly, vastly different, for not only is the Swedish government in compleie, control of the games, but furthermore it is building the magnificent stadium where the games will be held and de fraying all other expenses.
