Every phase of activity In the

be exemplified in the annual en-
lertainment to be held at the audi
.. torium next Saturday evening and
Professor O. C. Mauthe, director of
physical education, under whose per
sonal supervision the event will be
staged, has devised for the occasion
'i a programme that will be one of the
most elaborate the club has ever pre
. stnted. This entertainment will be
the third the club has bell, in the
auditorium.
Nearly four nundred members of
the club, ranging in years from the
. youngsters of the junior boys' arid
girls' classes to the seniors, will
' participate in the entertainment,
j which will consist of a series ot in-
teresting features following in rapid
succession from the grand entry
. march in which all the classes will
. take part to the final ensemble
which will bring the entertainment to
a close. Following the final number
of the programme, the auditorium will
. be turned over to the members of the
, club and their friends for the regular
' Saturday night social dance. The
". stage will be reserved for the chii
. dren, while the adults will be allowed
to dance in the wings.
Jeffrey's orcnestra will furnish the
music for the numbers on the pro
, gramme and also lor the dancing.
. According to Professor Mauthe,
there is one thing that must be ad
hered to for those who contemplate
witnessing the performance, and that
Is for every one to be in his seat by
8 o'clock. So many numbers are on
. the programme, and all ai"-? on a par
. when it comes to selecting the best,

The pitcher who impressed Frank
Chance as the greatest performer on
the mound during the several years
which the famous manager was in
the majors was a hurler of the Amer
ican league, not of the National,
where Frank did most of his man
aging. Ed Walsh is Frank's choice.
In a recent fanning bee Chance had
the following to say about the pitch
ers whom he had observed:
I am not picking Walsh because
he smashed the hopes of my Cubs in
the world's series and city series time
after time, but because of the wonder
ful way in which he swept through
the American league. A manager
must have a pitcher who can work
and wui. He must be able to take
his turn on the mound and, if neces
sary, to take the burden off someone
else. That was Ed Walsh. No pitcher
was more anxious to get on the mound
than he was. Without being told to
warm up he would grab the ball and
start to the bull pen.
"Walsh was a spitball pitcher and I
am not crazy over that brand of
twirling, but I will have to give the
laurels to him. In Chicago there Is a
saying that Walsh is the man who
built Charles Comiskey's famous base
ball plant. : He did not drive a single
nail into the structure, but he helped
draw the money in at the gate, which
was more Important. He was the
man who made the spitball famous. I
believe that but for the remarkable
work of Ed Walsh the spitball would
have been banned years ago by every
league in the country. He was so
good with it that no steps were taken
when he was working every other
game in the American league. By
-that time every youngster in the
country started experimenting with
the moist delivery.
"This is a not a sermon on pitching',
but I believe that the life of a man
ager would be made easier If the
spitball was banned by every league
in the country, i don t rememoer all
the figures of Walsh's wonderful
work, but in 1908 he took part in 66
ball games and is credited, with win
ning 40 of them and only losing 15.
With a pitcher able to win 40 con
tests to lead off his staff, a manager
would not have many worries.
Walsh's breakdown was a mystery.
When he was on the coast trying his
comeback he appeared to have al
most as much speed as he ever did,
but he could not get his spitter to
working.
"After Ed Walsh domes Walter
Johnson. He Is another great pitch
er, but did not work as often as
Walsh. While the White Sox star de
pended upon his spitball and control
to win his games, Johnson, 'until the
last few years, placed his main re
liance upon bis terrlfio speed.
One place where Johnson has been
handicapped is that he never was
backed up by a good ball club. Often
a pitcher with a good ball club be
hind him will show 25 per cent im
provement. A good ball club not only
will score more runs and field better
than a poor one, but It Is bound to
give a pitcher more confidence in himself."

PARIS, March 20. In view of the
feeling in America that Jack Demp
sey, world s champion, did not do his
bit during the war, the record of
Georges Carpentier, the man who ex
pects to battle for the biggest honors
in pugilism, is highly interesting. Tbe
Frenchman put in a bit better than
two years at the front, according to
his record as given by Victor Breyer,
editor of Echo Des Sports.
.Carpentier was in London giving a
six weeks demonstration when the
war broke out. He immediately gave
up his contract and came to Paris.
He enlisted at St. Cyr, August 3, 1914.
His class was not called until four
months later.
Carpentier spent four months as
chauffeur of staff cars. On Decem
ber 1, 1914, he was transferred on his
own demand to the aviation service
and was sent to the Avord camp for
instruction as a pilot. He passed the
examination tests in February, 1915,
and went Immediately to the front
where he began piloting observation
planes. He remained at the front, ex
cept for the usual furloughs, until
December, 1916.
In September, 1915, he was cited in
army orders for doing more than his
duty, taking artillery officers over the
enemy lines for regulation of French
fire during the battle -of Champagne.
The citation commended him for
carrying out missions and reaching
all objectives. He also received the
croix de guerre and the military medal,
probably the most difficult for a eol
dier of France to win.
It was in a later battle of Verdun
that he was reported to have per-

With Portlanders occupying posi

proud.
Indeed we may well be proud of the
fact that among the first ten men are
several Juniors and we have at last
produced some players who will rank
well up in the tennis hot-beds of Bos

The efforts to help the boys and

is much to the credit of Oregon that
we occupy positions one and two.

He did not play in any outside

championship gives him undisputed

over Phil Neer ard also over Hob

ing the early part of the season with
most obstreperous tooth, wnich
caused a lot of sleepless nights and
was doubtless the cause of his defeat
by Wallace Scott.

To Phil Neer, out Portland junior

What causes most woe for tbe
average umpire? That question is
often put to Billy Evans, American
league umpire. Here is his answer:
The main trouble comes from four
sources: (1) Managers who are fool
ish enough to think an umpire can
be bulldozed into favoring them on
close plays; (2) veterans who are
losing ground who are on their way,
and barely holding on, and are out
