i - TILE STJXDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, MAY 23, 1915. CONFERENCE TRACK RECORDS IF1 DANGER Two Marks, Discus and 2-Mile, Regarded as Sure to Be Bettered Friday. FOUR OTHER EVENTS FAST A fO, 3Hle, Javelin and High Jump May Yield New llccords at Annual Con fere nco Meet at Corvallis This Week. ORKGON AGRICULTURAL. COLLEGE, Corvallis. May 22. (Special.) Two Pa cific Northwest Conference records are almost certain to go by the board, and several others will be In danger, when the 1915 Conference track meet is held on the new Oregon Agricultural Col lege track next Friday. Provided that the weather is reasonably good, arid that the track is in good condition, it is almost a safe bet that new records will be established in the two-mile run and in the discus, throw, while the 440-yard dash, the mile run, the Jave lin, and the high Jump should also yield records which will compare favorably with those hung up In 'days gone by. The official record in the two-mile Is 9:50:1, and was made by McClelland, of Washington, in 1913. Since that day, two sensational distance stars have landed in the Conference firmament. One of them is Buy Hobgood. wearing the orange and black of Oregon Agri cultural College, and the other is Mose Payne, whose colors are the lemon and preen of the University of Oregon. Dopesters everywhere figure that one of these two boys will hold the record after Saturday's meet. Oregon fans cay it will be Payne; O. A. C. fans say it will be Hobgood. Hobgood's Best Time. Hobgood lias run two miles on an official track in 9:37:1, which is 13 seconds better than the record. Payne has been caught almost this fast, and at the tian .Francisco meet was the vic tor over Hobgood on a slow track. A Croat race is sure to result when they meet Friday on the fast new Aggie path, with a big field to start from and every condition favorable for a record smashing gait. Fans here are not only sure that the Conference record will go to the winner of the race, but they ex pect the time to bo nearly 9:37. Cole, of the Aggies, is the man who 1s doped to knock the spots off the Conference discus record of 129:11, set by himself at the Oregon-Oregon Agri cultural College dual meet last year. Cole is probably the greatest man in his event who has ever appeared in track suit at a Northwest Conference meet. His only rival Is Edmunds, of Washington, who will also be in the ring next Friday. Cole hurled the plate 136 feet and some inches at San Fran cisco, winning with ease after Ed munds had beaten him in all the pre liminary throws. On the way home, the Oregon, Corvallis and Washington teams were stalled for a few days In Northern California, and a track meet was scheduled to while away the time. Cole took a long swing, and 137 feet "Vi Inches was the result the best inter collegiate throw ever made. If Cole can come within seven feet of this Saturday, the record is his. Loucks' Mark In Danger. A sweet race is due in the 440-yard between Loucks, of Oregon, and Kad derly, of Corvallis. Loucks Is credited with a record of 49:3, -which ties the Conference record, but Kadderly beat him at Kan Francisco. Should both these boys be in shape Saturday, It is not at all unlikely that the winner will breeze across the tape close to the record. Muirhead. of Oregon, is doped to win the high Jump Friday, and many wise ones have it that the record will go. This sesnational recruit of Hayward's cleared 6:2 at the Columbia meet, which is three-quarters of an inch better than Stuller's record of last Spring. Again, in the Javelin, with Phillips, of Idaho, pegging the stick around 180 feet, and considering the well-known tendency of this man to pull off phenomenal heaves at intervals, it will not be a surprise if this Idaho star should tear loose and hang up a new one. No sprinter has appeared this year who has shown enough as yet to make it likely that the Conference record of 9:4 will be touched. Jo the 220, Kelly's 21:3 record seems safe. Morrison, of Idaho, looks like the best of the field this year in this event. Plata nee Men Fast. Clyde, of Washington, Loucks and Nelson, of Oregon, and Reynolds, of Oregon, should force the time in the 880 well down toward the record, now neld by Nelson at 1:57:1. Again in the mile. HuRgins,. Clyde, and Reynolds should furnish competition for each otner ana a beautitul race for the fans. Field events, other than the discus. Javelin and high Jump, though closely contested, and though there will be good men entered in each of them, will probably not yield records which will touch those now holding. The new track is well drained and well built, and even though rains may occur during the week, the track should be fast. Only rains on Friday morning can slow it up. The 220 and 240 hurdles will have to be held on a curved track, but a beautiful straight away will be ready for the century and high hurdles. The track Is 10 lanes wide. No rreltminary heats should be necessary, which means that the ath- mis group or men contains the Portland Gun Club, on the .''. ' ' . ! M . .. ... . ! ' , ' ' ft --fi 7 - .

Ample grandstand room has been provided. George Varnell. of Spo kane, will act as referee and starter, and from the time that lie pulls the trigger to let the bunch away qn the mile, it is promised that there will be no delay until the relay brings the meet to a close. RAIN PKEVEXTS TRACK MKET Athletic Carnival at Corvallis Is Spoiled by Blustery Weather. OREGON' AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE Corvallis, May 22. (Special.) Heavy rains this afternoon frustrated the plans of "Doc" Stewart and "Bill" Hay ward for a track meet to determine the respective strength .of the Oregon Agri cultural College and the University off Oregon. The classic meet was post poned until Saturday, June 6. The Ore gon team, accompanied by rooters, wa on the ground this afternoon, but th. outdoor track was wet as a lake, and the wet-grounds sign was hung. Not only was the track meet spoiled but the baseball games at Eugene were postponed of necessity. the tenni maicnes wnn tne Oregon were playeo under difficulties and the athletio car nival was, perforce, made almost en tlrely social in its nature. A dance to night in the gymnasium brought th carnival to a close. TILLAMOOK WILL PLAY COUNTV LEAGUE OK FOUR OR SIX TEAMS TO ORGANIZE. Bay City, Nehalem, Beaver, Cloverdate aad Tillamook Suggested as Towns for New Circuit. BAT CITY, Or., May 22. (Special.) Tillamook County is to have a basebal league in the near future, either fou or six teams to bo included. This wa made certain by the interest taken i the movement this week, when a meet lng was called in Tillamook and plan discussed. Representatives from Bay City, Ne hale in. Beaver and two Tillamool teams were present and a telephon call to the manager at Cloverdale dlb closed that a team from that poin would likely seek admission. If thl proves true Tillamook will enter tw teams otherwise one picked .team i to be chosen. J. R. Callahan was elected temporar president. The bylaws were drawn up with view to making the teams local, and t make -it impossible to run in outsid professionals when the need arises. N one will be allowed to play who ha not been in the county 30 days, and player is prevented from being reg istered on more than one team at time. He must register with his tea: at least two days before playing in an game. Business men have willingly prorr) ised to support the league. Two gamel have already been played this yea Bay City having defeated Tillamook, to 1, a week ago, and Tillamook gettln revenge last Sunday in a 3-to-2 gam. their best when the BEFORE UNIVERSAL PEACE IS DECLARED IT MAY BE NECESSARY FOR THESE WELL-KNOWN TRAPSHOOTERS TO STEP UP some or tne greatest proiessionai trapsnooters in tne world.

VICTORY IS EXPECTED Boylen Jiot Kxpected to in in 100 Unless He Runs as Xever Before. C20 Is Likely to Be or Keen Competition. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene, lay 22. (Special.) One more meet nd the collegiate season for track will end at the University of Oregon ampus. The games to come, however, ire among the biggest of their kind ito be staked In the Northwest. The conference games will be held on the Corvallis track Friday. This afternoon Bill Haywara ana his lemon- yellow athletes are goiny: through the schedule of a dual meet. The odds are heavily in favor of the Oregon mentor and a victory is taken for granted. Th Aggies are not ceded more than four first places and with this margin Bill should have little trouble in carrying off the honors. Oregon will not win a point in the 100-yard dash, unless Tommy Boylen runs as he has never run before. The 220-yard dash should be a pretty struggle between Loucka and Kadderly Idaho, Whitman and Pullman have men in this race who will furnish the keen est of competition. Morrison, of the Gem State College, especially, is a fleet man and the result is far beyond pro motion. Loucks. by virtue of his great record-making race of a year ago. is the heavy favorite In the quarter. " The half mile should go to Martin Nelson. "Swede" has been enacting a great comeback during the past three weeks and is once more running in great style. Reynolds, of the Agricultural TRACK AND FIELD RECORDS. 9:4. 1808; 9:4.

Once more the dope in the mile is upset Clyde, captain of the Wash ington team, ran Chet Hugfflns. the Oregon mainstay, off his feet in Eugene a week ago. "Moe" Fayne and Hopgood will fur nish the grand excitement of the af ternoon when they start on their Jour ney of two miles. Chet Fee. of the Oregon team, is the favorite in the pole vault. The lemon-yellow sviator re cently ascended to the height of 11 feet and 9 Inches againrt the Washing ton vaulter. Cook is booked to take the shot-put. Sam hasn't lont his event In the North west circles for three years and this season he is tossing out the steel bat! better than ever before. Muirhead is slated as a certain win ner In two events, the high Jump and high hurdles. The "lows" are doubtful as the freshman hasn't given them a great deal of attention this season. The relay race will be an affair In which Oregon will figure but little un less Hayward can get four sprinters in the field. As it is he has only Nel son. Loucks and Bull or Gorecsky. Thl week will see the Oregon men tor putting the finishing touches on his men. The year has reached a grand climax and it Is all over but the shout ing. The Oregon athletes are keyed to the highest tension and there is not a one who is stale. Practically every student in collejre will take advantage of the excursion and attend the meet. It has been years since the conference games have been held In this section of the country and everyone who can go will be in Cor vallis Friday. WELTERWEIGHTS TO BOX VALLEY TRAMBETl S IS MATCH ED WITH FRANK PARSLOW. Imperial Club Takes Over Drlanct Mohawk Club Quarters and Schedules Beats for Friday Mght. Valley Trambctus and Frank Pars low, the two beat welterweight boxers in the city, will settle their dispute, regarding thn city title next Friday night. Thi Imperial Club has taken over the defunct Mohawk Club on Union avenue and will stage the bout. In the future the place will be known as the Imperial Club. Boxing fans have been awaiting the Trambetus-Parslow bout for some time. Both boys have made creditable show ings of late and a deal of intercut cen ters in ther meeting. They w ill weigh in at 150 pounds. This would evidently Irdicate that Trambetus la getting hefty, is he has been fighting at 140 and 145. Billie Mascott. the featherweight flash, has been matched with a new ar rival from Seattle named McCool. They will meet at 120 pounds. Jimmy Howe, the Chinese 100 pounder, will do battle with "Touchy" Winger, who is being brought out by Jack Allen. Jimmy Moscow was not satisfied with the draw decision in his recent bout with "Carman" Syverson at the Baker Theater and the boys have been re matched. Both can make 140 pounds. Alex Trambetus, who trimmed "Kid" Saxe neatly In four rounds aj. the Baker, will bo matched with "Nig" Pluto. They fought a three-round draw at their last meeting some time ago. Alex is a younger brother of Valley Trambetus, wno Doxes in me main evert. The bouts will be of tlx rounds' dura tion and the rules governing them will be in accordance with the new amateur- boxing ordinance. The si.x-round bouts should prove an improvement over the four-round affairs, as they give the boys more of a chance. The clubrooms are located at 45 Union avenue, near East Pine street.
