Favor Over California.

CLIMATE IS ONE FACTOR
Better Representation. Thought Pos
sible Also Amateur Athletic
Cnion Official Tells East to
Watch Westerners.
America's next elimination track and
field meet for the choosing of United
States representatives to the 1916
Olympic games may take place in Port
land. Tliis is from Edgar Frank, of
the Multnomah Club, who returned yes
terday from a month's tour of the East.
While in New York Mr. Frank talked
the matter over with Secretary Sulli
van, of the American Amateur Athletic
Union, and the latter declared that
there were reasons in favor of hold
ing the meet in Portland. One is the
fact that the last Western try-outs held
in San Francisco sera not entirely sat
isfactory. It was said after the meet
that the trials -.ere not as compre
hensive as might have been.
Better Representation Hope.
"I suggested to Mr. Sullivan (and he
aw some of the points in its favor)
that the meet be held in Portland,"
said Mr. Frank. "For one thing I
think that a meet in Portland would
probably bring out a more represen
tative Jiet of entries for the trip
abroad."
Climatic conditions would favor Port
land in this respect. The climate in
Berlin is very much like that of the
Northwest. California's more humid
and much warmer air is a handicap
which many athletes are unable to
overcome.
On that score it is thought that an
elimination meet in Portland would
really bring out the beet men for the
conditions involved. While California
will undoubtedly try very much to
btamp down any such plan, Mr. Frank
says that Sullivan will consider it.
J. E. Sullivan is now in New York.
He was on the Pacific Coast leas than
two weeks ago, and will be out West
again in a month or so. His next trip
will be by way of Portland, and the
plan will then be discussed with the
Pacific Northwest amateur officials.
1U13 Meet Being; Boosted.
Mr. Sullivan iB very busy boosting
the world's meet to be held at San
J-Yancisco in 1913. Every champion
ship, with the exception of boxing, will
be settled on the Pacific Coast in 1S15.
The boxing again will be settled in the
Boston Athletic Club.
The head and tail of the A. A. U.
was surprised at the strides that have
been taken in athletics on the Pacific
Coast since his last visit to California.
Mr Sullivan says that as a loyal New
Yorker it almost gave him an unpleas
ant shock to find so much enthusiasm
out here. In an Eastern newspaper
Mr. Sullivan said in an interview:
"California and other far-distant
states have been compelled for so many
years to send their best men East to
show their prowess that they are
Jumping at the opportunity to meet in
their own back yard the best we can
send to San Francisco, and Europe, too,
as far as that goes. The Westerners
are simply dying to get a good crack
st the Easterners.
"And. let mo tell you. there are some
very promising young men out on the
Coast. I can t remember the fellows'
names, but 1 was told that they have
four distance men Mho arc good for
4:28 for the mile.
West to Be Heard From.
"The South Pacific and the Pacific
NortliweHt, as well as the territory of
which San Krancist-o is the center, are
looking forward with great expectancy
to 1915. Clubs are springing up almost
as fast as dancing palaces are in the
Fast, and I can tell you these Pacific
Coast boys are going to be heard from
in the near future. There is nothing
like a good international meet, prop
erly organized and supported, to stir
up athletic enthusiasm.
"One tiling that will greatly help
things along in !5au Francisco is the
enterprise of the Olympic Club in
taking over the baseball park right
in the heart of the rity. Hitherto the
only decent track was tu be found out
at the Colilen CJate. which is some dis
tance from San Fran.iyco. A half
niile track is to be laid down in the
baseball park and the place will be
usetl for practice purposes for the big
meet tf-xt year."

FEDS LOSE CAMX1TZ CASE
Pittsburg National Players Must Be
Left Alone Permanently.
HOT SPRINGS. Ark April 4. Organ
ized baseball won a victory here today
when Chancellor J. P. Henderson gave
a decision in the Injunction proceed
ings between the Federal League and
the Pittsburg National League club,
making permanent the injunction
granted previously to the National
League club against interference by the
federal League with players under con
tract with the Pittsburg club.
The decision came after a three days
hearing in Chancery Court, with a big
array of legal talent representing S. H.
Camnltz. of the Pittsburg Federal
League club on the one side and the
Pittsburg National League club on the
other.
The court's decision and the long re
view of the case, totaling about 4000
words, holds that a baseball contract
is property and entitled to considera
tion as property rights; that no person
has a right to induce a third party to
break a contract; that interference
with labor contracts will be estopped
by injunction; that persuading a per
son to break a contract to the injury
of a principal is maliicous, and that a
contract partly void by reason of being
In restraint of trade Is not wholly void.

WASHINGTON. March 30. Dr. Har

"I want to warn everyone against the

"Why should babies be fattened?" he
