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.

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.

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

Friday and Saturday at Berkeley.
None of the preparatory schools out

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. Martin Nelson, Theo

LOs ANGELES, April 20. 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. Paul Westerlund, of the

Haggart, of the same club, fifth, in
1:17:0S.
George Skyeagle, the other Indian
in the race, finished 12th, in 1:22:40. He
ran unattached.
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

idea most emphatically, and declares

the St. Paul team entirely outclassed it.

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. While there
has been no official announcement re
garding this, it is generally understood
that the fund supplied by the govern
ment amounts to at least half a million
dollars. The government officials also,
appoint the members of the Swedish
Olympic Committee."
Professor Sloane holds the distinc
tion of being one of the four remaining
founders of the Olympic revival. Tha
others are Pierre Coubertin. France;
Colonel Black, Sweden; Dr. Jiri Guth,
Bohemia. Originally, the international,
committee wan composed of 40 dele
