SAN FRANCISCO, March 27. (Spe
cial.) On the eve of the Coast League
pennant race. Harold L. Johnson sets
forth an unbiased opinion of the teams
around the circuit, in which he rates
Portland as a second-division team.
Sir. Johnson is baseball expert on the
Chicago Kecord-IIerald. and for years
has been closely following1 the big
league teams. lie has had the ad
vantage of seeing all the Coast League
clubs in action against the hite box
this Spring and Is in a position to
cpeak authoritatively on their re
spective merits.
"Los Angeles will win. with Venice
the runner-up, said Mr. Johnson.
"Each Spring finds the two southern
club of the Coast circuit battlinj;
Comiskey's sprightly young men with
refreshing fervor, whereas the Port-
landers, who have a happy faculty of
starting slowly, always manage to
come dashing through the home stretch
and right into the midst of the pen
nant ' honors.
"On form displayed against the
AVhite Sox in four encounters at Han-
ford. Modesto. Stockton and Fresno,
Jlt-Credie's athletes failed to impress
as did the Angels and the Venetian.
"In judging the six clubs on their
performances against Rowlands ma
chine. I would list Los Angeles first.
a en ire second, San Francisco third,
Portland fourth. Oakland fifth and
Salt Luke sixth."

ROSE REGATTA 15 PLAN
MOTOR BOAT (LIB TO TAKE BIG
PART IX FESTIVAL,
Co-operatloa Is Promised to Make Huge
Success of River Event Many
Craft "Win Fame.
The Portland Motor Boat Club is
planning to take a most active part in
the Rose Carnival. Heretofore the
river has not received as much recog
nition as deserved. The Willamette is
one of Portland's and Oregon's big as
sets. The chief aim of the Rose Carni
val is to advertise the wonderful re
sources of the state.
The Motor Boat Club has produced
racing boats that are known the coun
try over. Sometime since quite a
lengthy mention was made in a news
paper of Germany of the "Happy
Heinle," a well-known local racing
boat of several seasons past.
The Oregon Kid, another local crea
tion, owned by Captain Milton Smith, of
Rainier, made a tour of the Eastern
States, cleaning up in easy style nearly
all competitors and establishing a new
world record for speed boats. The
K!,i was from the City of Portland, on
the Willamette River, in the State of
Oregon, and this fact was advertised
hroadcast through the Eastern jour
nals. "Heard of your Rose Carnival
all right." remarked the Easterner,
"but didn't recollect about your river,
thought vou raced in a lake."
A long list might be made of other
local boats which have brought back
trophies from all sections of the conn
rv The Wolf, the Baby Bell and go-
in'ir back into history, the Paoer, the
spirit and manv others all causing
the eves of the racing world to be
focused on their home town the City
of Portland, on the Willamette River,
in the State of Oregon.
Nn more fitting advertisement could
be given the river than by holding a
hio- recntta during the carnival. The
Yacht and Rowing Clubs have signi
fied their intention of joining with the
Motor Boat Club in any regatta that
may be sanctioned by the Festival com
mittee. Beaver Batting Average.

ONLY KIWLAHBSEflT
SEATTLE FLAYERS REPORT AXD
PRACTICE GAMES START.
Outlook Is for Better Outfield Tim
Inual, With Strong Staff of
Catebera.
SEATTLE, Wash., March 27. (Spe
cial.) With the exception or center
Fielder Martin Killilav. all of the Se
attle baseball players have reported,
and practice games were begun Thurs
day, Seattle beating Ballard, 6 to 5, in
a game marked by better pitching on
the part of Hovey than any of Man
ager Roymond's three twirlers, Hayes,
Hildebrand and Rose.
The outlook Is that Seattle will have
a hotter outfield than usual, a good
infield, strong catching department and
Hnhtfl nitchine staff. If two or
three eood twirlers are not developed,
President Dugdale will have to go on a
hunt before the start oi me season.
Losing Al Gipe. Weiser Dell and
Charlie Fullerton has left a big hole
in tho hrY ilenartment.
Seattle has a promising youngster, m
Berth, who came here as a caicner.
He likes to play ball, and has shown
well wherever placed. His early work
with the club seems to bear out the
advance dope that he is a natural hit
ter. . . ,
The reason ooens April 2, ana irum
now on Seattle nas pracntc
every day up to the last gasp, bo tar
the weather nas Deen peusii
.-nnri orA in fine condition.
The Aberdeen piayer u.iv vce'""&
. . - . , ; i o-
to arrive and will start training ai
Everett Monday.
Charlie Stis, playing-manager oi me
Aberdeen club, arrived this week, ana
brings authentic information of the
death of Jack' Huston, former scout of
the St. Louis Cardinals, in nan Auiumu
some time ago. He passed away in a
hospital, almost friendless. nusion
was the star pitcner oi tne rt"n;
Mrthwest Lea true in 1890, winning
more games for the champion Spokane
club than any other pitcher. He op
peared to have nothing, but won his
games just tne same.
Heard on the Links
THERE have been more cnanges in
the professional ranks this year
than has ever been known before. AI-
nost everv day we here or a pro leav
ng his old job to take up a new one
This is ihe time of , year wnen me
professionals Degm to prepare iur mo
coming season.
The present European war has not
only resulted in the cancellation of
the British amateur golf championship
this year, after 34 years of uninter
rupted competition, but has closed
down many links both in England
and ScotlaHd. Many of Great Britain's
amateurs as well as professionals have
gone to the front. The professionals
left at home are having a hard row
to hoe and most of them are awaiting
an opportunity to embark for America,
.
One fair golf enthusiast wants to
know whether it is proper to say
golf sticks or golf clubs. Harry Pratt,
new professional at the Portland Club
says clubs is correct.
. ...
The camel humping himself to
squeeze through the eye of a needle
has a swelier chance of getting there
than the golfer who tries to reach the
first green at the Seattle Golf Club
with his tee shot. The hole is 410
yards, over a practically level bit of
fairway, with heavy woods and traps
to the left and a curving roadway,
which acts as a links boundary, to the
right. There is never a hardness of
the course that brings an exceptional
run. So that, when a player does get
home at No. 1 in one shot he must be
credited with "some" shot. But it nas
been done only once, however.
It is an amusing thing to hear golf
players tell you what wonderful put
ters they were until they began to
give the rest of the game more at
tention. Then their putting became
very ordinary. This is true, strange
to say. Beginners are sometimes very
good on the green until they develop
a bad streak, which makes them con
scious that It is not as easy as it
seemed to be. After you once become
afraid of the hole you find yourself
overrunning the cup or being con
stantly short. Professionals are bad
putters, not because they don't know
how to put, but because they go into
every little detail on the green that
the amateur would overlook. Even the
way the lawn mower has cut the grass
or the action of the wind on the ball,
no matter how slight, enters into their
calculations.
. .
America never turned out a greater
golfer than J. J. McDermott. who re
cently suffered a severe nervous break
down. McDermott was a great student
of the game and had no end of confi
dence. - He was one of ten very best
approa-chers and putters the game has
ever seen when playing at his Dest.
And he never failed to give it the
proper amount of consideration when
practicing for a tournament. Many
times after a round it he tnougnt ne
had putted well he would practice on
the green before starting out again.
At Shawnee the day ne lea tne neia
with Vardon and Ray and the pick of
the American "pros" at his heels, Mc
Dermott was putting badly in tne tirst
round. He was discovered out behind
the clubhouse after the round and he
putted for fully an hour before he
worked out the kinks. His afternoon
round showed the effects, as he turned
in a 73 and led the field.
...
John Bunnv has taken up golf. He
just became attracted to the game by
posing for a golf picture. Kaipn w.
Ince. director of the vitagrapn com
pany, was nis instructor wnen ne
started. Bunny plays golf in every
town that he appears Jn in the West.
...
P. A. Valle. who is the author of
many golf books, is out with a new one
devoted entirely to putting. Mr. Vaile
is at his best when discussing this Im
portant part of the game, and his work
shows that he has given the subject
careful study. If every man could play
a stymie as well as Vaile there would
never be any discussion about whether
stymies should be barred on account of
putting too much an element or iuck
into the game. This little book will
make a handsome addition to any one's
golf library There are many scientific
points that are made clear to the reador
and should do him a lot of good to
read.
...
Every golfer who cares for his
clubs, and there are players who think
that they would have to give up tne
game if they lost their pet clubs, should
go over them thoroughly with Unseed
oil and see that the shafts are kept
straight and the club head not allowed
to dry up. Strange to say It Is usually
the player that depends on one set of
clubs mostly that gives them the least
care.

IGHT DATE CHANGED
April 5 Chosen When Clamor
Against Easter Grows.
SEAT SALES NOW $55,000
Women Society Leaders Engage
Ringside Boxes WHlard Breaks
One Opponent's Nose and
Roughly Handles Others.
HAVANA. March 27. Havana was
engrossed today in discussion of the
big fight to be staged here on Monday.
April 5. when Jack Johnson will de
fend his title as heavyweight champion
against Jess Willard. It was reminis
cent of the scenes in Reno five years
ago before the battle in which Johnson
lowered the colors of Jim Jeffries and
thereby established his right to the
heavyweight title.
There were countless rumors and re
ports following a midnight conference
of all those concerned tn the fight and
then came the announcement of the
postponement of the battle to Monday,
Sunday having been set as the date
originally.
Public Clamor Curl Change.
The postponement was due to the
great pressure brought to bear upon
the government officials by many per
sons, who declared that to hold the
fight on April 4 would be to desecrate
Easter Sunday.
It is understood that the promoters'
books tonight showed sales and reser
vations for the fight amounting to 355,-
000 and that these are increasing stead
ily.. Several women society leaders
have engaged boxes at the ringside.
Reservations have been made from New
Orleans, Galveston, and a dispatch was
received stating that the first special
party of 85 was sailing from New Or
leans tonight. '
The pugilists had a stiff workout to
day in the presence of good sized
crowds. The challenger roughed his
partners fiercely. He broke Walter
Monahan's nose; a bout with Hemphill
was stopped near the knockout point,
and Jim Savage was exhausted by the
rough work.
Sentiment Is General.
There was a surprising sentiment In
Cuba against the holding of the fight
on Sunday, despite the fact that the
first day of the week is a general holi
day on the island. Objection also was
raised by influential citizens in the
United States. William E. Gonzales.
Minister from the United States to
Cuba, and President Menocal, of Cuba,
received some 600 cable dispatches and
telegrams protesting against the hold
ing of the fight on Easter Sunday.
President Menocal decided to inter
fere and requested the promoters of the
fight to select another day. Both Wil
lard and Johnson eagerly seconded the
idea of postponing the battle. The pu
gilists exhibited many letters from
fight fans requesting a postponement
from Sunday to a week day.

the Coliseum April 10. The Dalles High,
Gresham High and the Willamette Am
ateur Athletic Club, of Isewberg, Or.,
are the new members so far.
"Although the meet is a little less
than two weeks off, things are shap
ing themselves which make me believe
that the coming atfair is to be tne
largest we have ever had," said Mana
ger Bach, of the ColumDla university,
last night. "Last season was a banner
meeting," he continued, "and we had
230 entries on the list. Of this number
220 were listed on the programme and
the other 10 were received after it went
to press.
"Present indications point that more
than 250 prominent athletes will repre
sent the high schools, clubs and col
leges of Oregon April 10. The selecr
tion of officials and minor details will
be made the first of next week."
The Spring vacation for Columbia
University will start next Wednesday
and last until the following Tuesday.
For this reason Coach Callicrate has
scheduled a dual track and field meet
with Martin Hawkins Multnomah Club
warriors for this afternoon, starting at
2:30 o'clock. This is an annual affair
between the two organizations and is
held to give the members of each team
a good workout before active compe
tition. In the annual inter-class track and
field meet at the university the Christie
Hall representatives took the day with
50 points, while the Day Dodgers were
a close second, just seven points be
hind. Third place went to the West
Hall boys. George Dixon and Al Ma
lone were the most consistent winners
for the Christie Hall squad, while
Claude Riggs and Johnnie Murphy tried
to bring a victory to the Day Dodgers.
Gene Schmitt made- most of the 23
scores credited to his teammates.
