Sine, Maisel, Cox,
Brooks and
Sutherland Likely
to
Be
Sought by Higher-Ups.
While we are going to miss the an
nual fall baseball lottery that used to
be known as the draft, the next few
weeks probably will see much barter
in? in Pacific Coast leagrue baseball
timber. Every year there are devel
oped in the Coast league about 12 or
15 athletes entitled to trials in the
major leagues where the "big money"
lies.
And this season has been no excep
tion, as witness the following list of
players who have shown themselves
to be stars of more or less magnitude:
Portland Blue, first base; Maisel.
outfield; Cox, outfield; Brooks, pitch
er; Sutherland, pitcher.
Salt Lake Rumler, outfield; Thurs
ton, pitcher; Johnson, shortstop.
Sacramento Mails, pitcher; McGaf
figan, second base.
Vernon Mitchell, shortstop.
Los Angeles Aldridgre, pitcher;
Pertica. pitcher.
Seattle Bonne, shortstop.
San Francisco McQuaide, pitcher;
Connolly, outfield.
Oakland Miller, outfield.
Blue In Excellent Player.
Lew Blue of the Portland club looks
like the best all-around first Backer
the league has developed since shortly
after they found out the world was
not flat. Blue is batting around .320
and fielding like a streak. He bats
both right and left-handed. Maisel is
leading the Portland batsmen, around
.340, and is having a wonderful year.
Cox in right is a youngster possessed
of. a remarkable throwing arm and a
good eye. He is worth a trial in the
majors. Young Brooks, the recruit
pitcher, has not twirled a bad game
since he came west from Detroit sev
eral weeks ago and his last two
games have been faultless. Suther
land's record of approximately 16
wins and 8 defeats speaks for ItselA
In the spring it was predicted that
Shortstop Wes Kingdon would be the
sensation of the Portland club, but in.
juries and a slight inexperience at
bat served to place the young short -patcher
into temporary eclipse. He
may come through another season
just as did Dave Bancroft and Charley
Hollocher.
Blue. Mrtchell and Johnson are the
best bets among fielders in the Pa
cific Coast league. The New York club
has made repeated offers to Salt Lake
for Shortstop Johnson but Ernie has
turned them down. Johnson is bat
ting about .350 and Mitchell about
.300. Jt is rumored that the New
York Americans already have made a
secret deal for Mitchell.
Mitchell Vernon's Best.
Mitchell is the only young player of
promise among the Vernon veterans.
Lob Angeles has an old ball club. too.
and Aldridge and Pertica are the only
players of promise. Pertica is a spit
baller and for this reason the majors
may fight shy of him, as he will not
be permitted to use the spitter In the
majors.
Thurston, a kid pitcher with Salt
Lake., has made a fine impression on
everybody. Another Salt Lake player
who ought to make good at the Jump
in faster time is Outfielder Rumler,
who led the league in hitting last
year. Rumler has improved 60 per
cent since he came, to the coast. He
is batting about .350 again this year,
has swiped 2S sacks and has more
than 20 home runs to his credit.
Hack Miller of the Oaks, is another
slugging outfielder who ought to help
some major league club. Miller is a
trifle indifferent in his work but
some of the wiseacres figure that his
indifference is due to the envronment.
Outfielder Connolly of the Seals
shows considerable promise. Both he
and Pitcher McQuaide may be still a
little unripe for the majors. Willie
Kamm, at third for the Seals, is hit
ting around .260 and might develop
into a major league player.
Shortstop Sammy Bonne of Seattle
1s hitting .320 and the coast league
ball sharps figure he is worth a major
trial. Second Baseman McGaffigan of
Sacramento has a bat mark of only
.260, or thereabouts, but Walter 11c
Credie thinks he is entitled to an
other trial in the majors. Southpaw
Mails ot the Senators is another in
the same boat. He had his fling with
Brooklyn but the experts are united
in voicing an opinion that "Buster"
Dow could make good in the big show.

Smith again will head the football
coaches at the University of Califor
nia, it has been announced, and will

Prize Boner Registered.
Frank Bancroft, business manager
of the Cincinnati team and pilot of
the ISS4 champion Grays, declares
that the prize bonehead play was
made by Miah Murray, who was
catching for his Worcester club 35
years ago. W ith a runner on first
Murray made a wonderful catch of
a foul fly against the stand. The
crowd broke into roars of applause,
and Murray, doffing his hat. bowed
right and left, and the runner, sizing
up tae situation, in out from first,
kept right on running hard, and came
all. the way home while the crowd
was raving and screetching all
vain. S

cial. According to - reports coming
from Southern California, there may

XEW ATHLETIC DIRECTOR EX
STAR OF XOTRE DAME.
Professor of Prep School Former
Football and Baseball Player,
and Track Man.
Columbia university 1 . the second
of the local interscholastic institu
tions to announce its plans for the
fall and winter sports programme.
Lincoln high was the first to come
forward with tne announcement of
the signing of a hew director of ath
letics in the person of Maurice n..
Post, former Michigan intercollegiate
star, and now the east side prep
school announces through its presi
dent. Rev. Eugene Burke, that athlet
ics at Columbia will be in charge this
year of Edward "Slip". Madigan, cen
ter of the Notre Dame football eleven
for the last three years.
Father Burke visited Notre Dame
in June and after a conference with
Coach Rockne. engaged Madigan as
director of athletics for the coming
year. -The new coach came to Notre
Dame in 1915 from the Ottawa. 111.,
high school, and in his freshman year
played in the backfield. The follow
ing year he wa shifted to guard on
the varsity eleven, and when Big
Frank" Rydzewski, Chicago's amateur
wrestling champion, finished his foot
ball career as Notre Dame's center.
Madigan took his place and played
practically every game until the close
of last season.
F'lKbtlng Sptrtt Displayed.
Madigan, who weighed 157 pounds,
in almost every game played against
men who far outweighed him. but his
fighting spirit made his position safe.
During the war he won his commis
sion as- ensign in the navy and re
turned to Notre Dame last year, where
in June he was graduated in law.
During last fall and spring Coach
Rockne gave him the care of training
the centers and guards of the varsity
nine.
He will no doubt introduce the
Notre Dame shift play and the pecu
liar forward pass attack that baffled
West Point and Nebraska last sea-
Son and brought the eastern ficnooj
through the year without a single de
feat. Coach Madigan will come to
Portland shortly after August 15 and
intends to call in last year s men a
week or so early In order to nave reg
ular practice in full swing by the
opening of school.
Father Farley to Assist.
Coach Madigan will be assisted in
whlDDine the football eleven into
shape this fall by Rev. John Farley,
who comes to Columbia as a professor
Father Farley was one of the best
ends ever produced at Notre Dame and
captained the eleven during his last
year as a student, at the time thai
v
i If , i'-- . N ' -j
Edward 'Slip" Bladlss. for
mer Notre Dine football atar,
who will be tn charare of ath
letics at Columbia university
thia year.
Sam Dolan. Dominic Callicrate and
I George Philbrook were just breaking
into the limelight as members of the
team.
In track he won his letter" two
years as a sprinter and played center
field on the baseball nine. For the
last ten years he has been rector of
Walsh hall in the South Bend school
and has turned out many winning
baseball teams.
With fair material for these two
men to work on Father Burke feels
confident that Columbia will make a
good ' showing this year in every
branch of sports.
CLOSING OF LAKES SOUGHT
Fish Commission to Be Asked to
Put Ban On in Hood River.
HOOD RIVER, Or., Aug. 6. (Spe
cial.) Following a tour of investiga
tion by J. H. Fredricy, president of
the Hood River Game Protective as
sociation, who waa accompanied by
fellow officials, George I. Slocora, G.
A. Molden and A. R. Cruikshank, the
state fish and game commission prob
ably will be asked to close North,
Rainy and South lakes, located near
Green Point in the southwestern part
of this county, to all fishing.
"We found a moat regrettable con
dition," says Mr. Fredricy. "Parties
have evidently visited the lakes
recently and have been taking fish
without regard to size. We found at
least 50 undersized dead trout on the
water's edge. We stocked the lakes
in order that the fish might spawn
and make the remote bodies of water
a fisherman's paradise. - .Unless the
lakea are closed, our ends will be
defeated."

OLYMPIC TENUIS PUZZLE
LACK OF AMERICAN ENTRY IS
CAUSE OF DISCUSSION.
Though Davis Cup Team Cannot
" Play Another Selection Is
Thought Possible. .
Considerable discussion is going on
in the east onithe failure of the
American Lawn Tennis association to
make entries in the Olympic games
at Antwerp. The reason given by
the tennis association was that the
Olympic games tennis dates inter
fered with the United States titles
to be played at Longwood and Forest
Hills the latter part of August.
The officials do not feel that the
best interests of the game would be
served by keeping Tiiaen. Johnston.
Garland and Norris Williams in
Europe for such a series and so leave
the national titles to be won by
those who have stayed at home. They
believe these national events will be
of far greater interest in this coun
try, as the great American ouartet
have defeated all comers In Europe,
including the best players France
and England could produce.
Many eastern people believe, how
ever, that if the Davis cup team
could not be entered another team
should have been ' sent to the
Olympics, the contention being that
there are enough good men now In
this country to form an exceptionally
strong team for the Olympic con
tests. The tennis association officials
did make an attempt to have the
Olympic committee alter the dates,
but this was found impossible.
Word from the east now makes it
practically assured that the Davis
cup team to go to Australia in quest
of the cup will be reconstructed and
the team that won the preliminaries
in England will not go as now con
stituted. CALIFORNIA PLANS REGATTA

Lexington Opens Circuit, to

Followed by Latonia; Churchill
Downs Closes Season.
LOUISVILLE, Ky., Aug. 7. The 46
days of racing the Kentucky Jockey
club will begin at Lexington the last
two weeks of September to run
through October and the first two
weeks of November will be marked
by- the distribution of between $550,
000 and $575,000 among horsemen.
The gross amount that will be
added by the Kentucky Jockey club
will be somewhat more than $509,000.
The gross distribution in added money
last fall was a little less than $390,
000. The Kentucky Jockey club added
morrey in stakes will be considerably
augmented by the subscriptions, for
feits and starting fees of nominating
owners. Kentucky racing will begin
at Lexington on September 18.
The Latonia meeting will follow
the Lexington meeting and the Louis
ville session will finish the western
season. The old scheme of having
the Churchill Downs meeting follow
the Lexington meeting and giving to
Latonia' the distinction of winding up
the year has been abandoned for good.
The change in the order of the
Latonia and Louisville fall meetings
was dictated by seasonal considera
tions.

Coaching: Staff at All Schools Fully
Prepared to Shove Out 'Win
ning: Teams.
Prospects are bright for one of the
best football seasons the Pacific coast
colleges have enjoyed for many years.
Last year proved to be a fair season
with the teams hardly yet recovered
from the effects of the late war.
which interfered in nany ways with
the gridiron game. ,
Stars of the gridiron were absent
from many of last year's teams and
some colleges found it difficult to
carry out a full schedule.- and on top
of that the public did not take the
interest in the popular winter pas
time that the game deserves.
By the time the colleges resume
activities this fall conditions should
once more begin to take on more
the normal standards they previously
enjoyed.
Certain Rivalries Neter Die.
Interest on the coast will of course
be centered on the games involved
in the Pacific coast conference sched
ule, and in this the various sectional
contests will naturally be the big
factors of the competition. There Is
always more interest attached to an
Oregon versus Washington contest or
a California versus Stanford game
than there is to a California versus
Oregon "or Stanford versus Washing
ton contest.
There are certain traditions and
interests of rivalry that have been
handed down from alumni to under
graduates which attach themselves
to these sectional clashes which are
lacking when a team from the north
meets one of the south.
There is therefore more real feel
ing displayed over a game between
University of Oregon and
uregon
Agricultural college or California and
Stanford than there is in games be
tween institutions that are several
hundred miles apart.
Training Date Is Set.
All members of the Pacific coast
conference are placed on an equality
and are given an even break at the
beginni-ng of the season by the con
ference rule which prohibits the
start of fall football training until
a certain date. There are also cer
tain standards of study that have to
be- lived up to. which prevents the
running in of "ringers" on some of
the teams.
Coaching staffs at all of the insti
tutions have been practically decided
upon for the coming season and the
opening games will see the work of
some of the best experts in the grid
iron game.
Rutherford to Head Assies.
The Oregon Aggies will have a new
man at the h-ed of athletics in It. B.
Rutherford, who comes with a good
reputation from an eastern institu
tion. "Shy" Huntington, mentor of
the famous Oregon eleven of last sea
son, will asain be in charge of the
lemcn-ytllow pigskin chasers at the
University of Oregon.
Stanford has a new coach, Walter
Powell, who comes to the Palo Alto
institution with a big eastern reputa
tion. Andy . Smith will again head
the grldders at the University of Call
fornia. and he will have four assist
ants, the largest coaching staff of
any college on the coast.
Six colleges compose the. coast con
ference and the games played be
tween this "big six" will decide the
coast championship. In the north
west. Oregon. Washington. Oregon
Agricultural college and Washington
State college are the conference col
leges.' while in the south California
and Stanford are the only two mem
bers. ' M altnomia Call Issued.
The first call for football practice
at the Multnomah Amateur Athletic
club will soon be sounded according
to Harry Dorman, chairman of grid
iron activities at the Winged M insti
tution, who states t-nat prospects for
a winnlnir tram at the club this year
are very bright.

HARVARD TO LOSE REGULARS
Freshman Team Men Expected to
Offset Defection.
CAMBRIDGE. Masai. Aug. 8. Bar
ring the pitching staff. Harvard will
lose three regulars next spring, but
that oWection is more than offset by
the caliber of the men coming from

players will be Jeff Jones, the lanky

feet." said Matthews. Irving's poor
est performance in these events in
collegiate competition this year were
43 feet and 170 feet. -

ful if he could have recovered in
time for the games in -Antwerp had
he been taken across." continued the

standard. He was handicapped not

sore right foot which compelled him
to do all his jumping .with his left
foot.
