Mclnnis fell well below .J00. Collins
skidded ba:k a healthy number of
points from his usual high average. A
none of these is yet a decrepit veteran,
the chances aro that the 1916 slump
was merely a coincidence, one of those
things of which the game is full.
But since there is always the chance
that even a star may have reached the
peak to begin pointing downhill, it
will be interesting to watch the bat
ting of this trio through the year
ahead. Baker, especially, will come
In for close observation, as John
Franklin, of Trappe, while retaining
the power of his punch in a long-distance
way, fell away further than the
other two so far as the complete aver
ages went. Baker's return around his
old mark of .330 would do the blesaed
Yanks a world of good.

The only outstanding feature, of last
week's play in the Portland Interschol
astio League 1917 basketball season
were the breaking of the individual
scoring record, the team scoring mark
nd the fact that Jefferson High went
into the lead of the circuit without
any opposition.
... "p?c" Bure. of Jefferson, made 17
Held baskets against Benson Tecji Fri
day in the Washington High School
gymnasium, and his team was good for
66 points. Both brnlc. h. n.l..
scoring marks for the season. Coach
Homer Jamison's boys now have six
wins and no defeats, and the schedule
makers must have known that Jeffer
son and Columbia were going to fight
it out for the tile, for they made the
two Institutions meet In the final con
. test next Friday afternoon.
Kach is scheduled to play two con
tests this week, Jefferson meeting Hill
Military Academy tomorrow afternoon,
while Benson Tech will try to take a
fall out of the Columbia athletes Tues
day, both games to be played in the
"Washington High School gymnasium.
Lincoln High and James John will
lock horns In the Washington High
gymnasium Wednesday afternoon, while
on Thursday afternon the schedule
calls for Franklin High to meet the
High School of Commerce.
Just where the Jefferson-Columbia
match will be played has not been
decided as yet. In all probability it
will be staged In the Young Men's,
Christian Association gymnasium. It is
Elated for Friday afternoon, but it
may be that Coach Conway, of Colum
bia, and Coach Homer Jamison, of
Jefferson, will decide to set it ahead
one day.
.
Jefferson High will be the only one
to complete the 1917 schedule this
week. All the other aggregations will
have to hold over until next week.
Washington High does not appear on
the list, so it will give Captain Bob
Snodgrass and his athletes a chance
lor- another rest.
Arrangements were completed yes
terday whereby the B'nai B'rlth first
team and the George Washington
Camp "Wows" will tangle in the Young
Men's Christian Association gymnasium
next Friday night. This affair has been
hanging fire for more than a month,
but at last Manager Abe Poplck, of
the ' "Wows," was able to squeeze in
a date. Just who will referee has not
been decided.
No game was played in the Mult
nomah Amateur Athletic Club gym
nasium last night. The team was at
Dallas. Or. Next Saturday night the
University of Oregon delegation will
be in attendance on their way to Eu
gene from Seattle. Jay Fox, former
all-around athlete from Columbia
University, is with the Oregon institu
tion. Captain Coieand his aggregation of
basketball tossers won the champion
ship of the Night Owls' League in the
Peninsula Park gymnasium Friday by
defeating Captain Roper, 25 to 12. In
the Senior Basketball League Captain
Quirolo won from Captain Weston. 12

Business Men Believe One Would

POMONA, Cal., Feb. 17. (Special.)
Business men of this city are behind a
move to establish golf links in the
South Hills. This is the only city of
Its size in Southern California which
has not a good golf course, and in the
past business men have had to go from
here to the Indian Hill links at Clare
mont in order to play.
The South Hills have all the natural
obstructions so necessary .for good
golfing. Business men here believe that
a good golf course within easy reach of
the city wouid bring here a share of
the tourist business which now goes to

PORTLAND HAS 3 CLASHES
Uncle Earns Will Yet Play Couple
of Games With Vancouver Mil-
lionaires and One With Se
attle Metropolitans.
BY EARL R. GOODWIN.
One more week after this one and
the 1916-17 season of the Paclflo Coast
Ice Hockey Association will be fin
ished The final two games will take
place a week from Friday night with
the Seattle Metropolitans playing
against the Uncle Sams In the Portland
Ice Palace and the Spokane Canaries
battling the Vancouver Millionaires at
Vancouver.
Next Tuesday night the Vancouver
team will make its final appearanoe In
Portland and the match promises to be
all that hockey followers want. The
Uncle Sams won the championship of
the circuit last Winter and now they
do not propose to be left in the cellar.
They have three more games on the
schedule Tuesday night against Van
couver here, Saturday night against
Vancouver at Vancouver and a week
from Friday against Seattle in Port
land. The race for the championship sees
Seattle as the favorite, although the
Millionaires are not out of the run
ning. Seattle has three remaining con
tests, one with Portland and two with
Spokane at Seattle. It Is certain that
Spokane wlllv fight hard to win, al
though the Birds have dropped five out
of -six games so far to the Metropol
itans, and with this In their favor Pete
Muldoon's aggregation looks like "the
goods" for the title.
Captain "Moose" Johnson Is satis
fied with the showing made - by his
Uncle Sams in their 9-to-l victory over
Spokane here Friday night. The boys
fought for everything and the size of
the score was just about the differ
ence in the two septets. Tommy Dun
derdale played a great game and caged
three goals, as did Charley Tobin. The
lone Spokane goal was made by Leo
Cook on a pass from Kenny Mallen.
The Portlanders are out to show Van
couver a few things about hockey here
Tuesday night.
"Smoky" Harris expects to be In
shape to play against his old rivals
Tuesday night. The speedy one did
not put on his suit last Friday be
cause of his Injured leg. He reported
to Dr. Earl Smith, the club physician,
last night and Dr. Smith announced
that he was getting along fine. Tommy
Murray has been afflicted with bolls
on his neck.
'
Although he has not had much
chance to show his real worth so far.
Stan Marples went In Friday night,
scoring one -goal and getting two as
sists. He was in the play all the time
and he made an impressive showing.
The next game of the Portland Ama
teur Ice Hockey Association will b
played tomorrow night, when the Po
lice and the Northwest Auto Hockey
Club meet in the Ice Palace. At the
first meeting of these teams the Police
lost.
Lincoln HIgh'a puckchasers will tan
gle with the Wsshington High team In
the Ice Palace tomorrow afternoon at
3.15 o'clock. Both Institutions are old
rivals. Columbia University and Lin
coln High are tied for first honors,
with three victories and no defeats,
and the championship battle is sched
uled for next Friday in the Ice Palace.
The second Ice earnlval of the season
will be held Thursday night. Several
prizes will be awarded to the best
