TTlth the tiff Northwest track meet
only two weeks off. all the track
coaches of the Interacholastic League
re taking advantage of the good
weather and are having- their trams
out In full force. Although most of
the old stars are now in the military
service, there are enough left to start
up some keen competition.
Captain Hanson, of Lincoln, has been
arolnc over the quarter and the half
mile courses on the Multnomah field In
almost record-breaking; time. The Lin
coln star expects to "cop" first place
In either one of the two distance even t
and the way be has been coins; lately
It will take a re-ord-breaker to cheat
htm of hla laurels. Hanson has placed
second In the 444) twice In the past two
aeasona and also took second place In
last rear's Columbia track meet.
Dude Hitchcock. Washington's best
art. will give the Lincoln captain some
stiff competition, as he Is a cracker
Jack runner, but be has not practiced
much of late, as he is on the baseball
tam and likes the crest American pas
time much better than be does track.
Jefferson has some stars out for the
distance events, but none of them have
a "rep" as yet and Coach Qulgley may
have a couple of dark horses hidden,
who will make things Interesting at
the next track meet.
rake Da Wla Mile.
Captain Peake. of Franklin. Is ex
pected to win the mile. Franklin's 4nly
letter man Is golnic at top speed on
the Franklin bowl dirt track and
should not have much trouble In pla

All tbe rest of the distance men from
the other schools are out for the first
time tbla season and may spring soma
surprises.
Every track man will have a good
chance la some event this year,
thera are practically no stars out.
In the sprints. Kalph Thayer, of Jef
ferson. Is considered the best bet In
the league. Even in the days of Coul
ter and Snook. Thayer always held his
own. This Spring, with all the old
stars gone and with added experience.
Thayer ahould make a wonderful stab
at the record
Lincoln and Columbia may bring out
some good sprinters and surprise the
Jefferson captain, but It la very doubt

la the pola vault. "Shrimp" Phillips,
of Columbia, should place. He is the
only pole vault letter man left In the
Interscholastic League. Like Hitch
cock. Phillips spends most of bis time
on the ball field and does not practice
much. Any man practicing faithfully
ahould not have much trouble In pla
cing in the pole vault.
There are no letter men back In the
hlirh Jump or the weight events. Whs
will place In those events Is a mystery
to the coaches. Although each school
baa at least a half doxen men out for
the weichta. all of the material is
green. There will probably be no rec
ords broken at the comtng meet, but
these la going to be brisk competition,
as tbe boys are practicing as the)
never did before.
This is the first tlma sines the
schools decided to go In for track, that
so few letter men are back. War has
taken most of the great athletes and
the coaches will have a good chance
to develop new stars In the previous
pick the Inner before the meet. It is
not so this year. Every school has an
equal chance and tbe breaks will count
a great deal.

Tbe grammar school will enter relay
teams In the Northwest military and
open track and field meet on Frklay
evening. April 2. at the Ice Palace.
This is sn added attraction and will
have a lot of competition, as most of
the 30 schools In this city are going to
enter runners.
Trotting Gossip.
M1GNOLA la on of the handsomest
stallion that has been seen on
the turf since Pamlico was laid away.
He Is a bright chestnut, while the
shading of his mane and tall would
lead a spectator to infer that ha was
descended from Dsnlel Lambert. His
color, however, comes to him through
Nutwood, while In his two top crosses
he combines tbe blood of Allerton and
Axtell. the stallions bred by C W.
Wllltsma, of Independence. lows, and
which started htm on the high road to
fame and fortune. Mtgnola is also an
Iowa product and la now being pre
pared by Bob Wright to start In a few
of the early, closing events In the
Urand Circuit He la eligible to the
2:17 class and as he trott'd a mile In
3:1 at Lexington last Fall, it will
take a high-class performer to step by
htm at the finish of a heat. Mignola is
also a good actor in company, as was
shown by hla deportment In the Walnut
Hall cup that waa won by Early
Dreams.
see
A Boston association announces that
it la the first to offer a selling race at
a trotting meeting In IMS- Five years
ago the Connecticut Fair Association,
at Hartford. Conn., offered sellin races
for 3 21 trotters and S IS pacers, the
purses for each being 11000. with the
condition that It was for horses valued
at 110. and the winner be sold XV
minutes after the race.. It was also
further provided that If the winner
sold for over 1 1000 one-hslf of ths ex
cess was to go to the second horse and
the balance to the nominator. The 1:1
r-ace did not fill, while Ed Avery won
the trot with Allerworthy In S:15
and an officer had to be sent to the
stall In order to get the horse oat to
be sold. When he was put up no one
made a bid. Tbls Is simply a running
turf Innovation without any of the act-
vantages that the gallopers get In tte
matter of weight on account of tbe
price named In the entry.

Bea Earl 2:00i. Is being prepared
for the season's campaign at Readvilla
by Bob Proctor. His present trainer
came very near riding a mile In two
minutes behind L'hlsn. as he finished on
the outside of Hamburg Belle at North
Randall when she made th world's
race record of J SlVi for trotter. Pos
sibly Bea Earl may carry htm on In
even time If hia owner decides to give
him a few race on th mile tracks. i

This life la but a world of care; man needs

Th monotony of daily toll often causes dis

Its combinations.
Its problems, traps and counter shots, and
many variations.
Ths game Is fair, the players square. It
causes none to grieve.
Its votaries are never caught with cards
tucked up their sleeves.
The gambler, con and bunco man at check

And never try their tricks to ply across the

Joseph Babson Is a chess master but I
am learning his style and do not anticipate
any further trouble. Chess, like everything
else man constructs, is characteristic of the
man. Thev are known bv their walk,
cough, or, as the Good Book says, by their
works. George Griffith, amateur.
Friend Babson called our attention to the
fact that king and two knights against
black king can win If black king has a pawn.
Yes, and following the editor gives an illus
tration: Black king on KR, pawn on KB.
White king on KB, knights on Q4 andKB5.

GAME NO. 319.
This game taken from "Chess, by Mitch
ell," was played 125 years ago In England,
oetween Lord Henry Seymour and Dr. Bowd
:er, who had the white pieces. It is a bril
liant game. Mr. Bowdler allowed white to
capture most of his pieces and then brought
about a very pretty mate.
