Jerferson virtually has won the championship of the leag-ue by its victory over Lincoln last week. The democrats are the only una feated team in the league, and as their remaining- game is with Washington, which occupies the Derth next to the cellar, there is little chance to upset the done. Jefferson undoubtedly has the best team. It excels all others in team work and has the best pair of guards. Its center. Broughton, leads the field In scoring, and the two Jefferson for wards Anderson and Westerman have been playing consistent ball all season. Many Are Good Flayers. While the league has not developed any individual stars this year, there are so manj4 good players in it that It seems almost impossible to pick an all-star team without mentioning two or three men for the same position. Slade of Franklin and Anderson of Jefferson are in a class by themselves as forwards. Although neither has been a hero in any particular garnet each has played steady, consistent ball all season. Anderson is undoubetedly the fastest man in the league. On many . occasions he had got the ball in the center of the floor and dribbled It to the basket, leaving- the man guarding him in the rear. Slade Best Foul Shooter. Slade, the other forward, is the best foul shooter. He has been playing rood steady ball all season and is ac curate in shooting baskets. His team mate, Scallon. and Johnny Faust of Lincoln also are good forwards, but have failed to perform in several games when they had been checked by good guards. Honorable mention must be given to Bauer of James John and Westerman of Je'.rerson. Flynn of Lincoln is the best center. He has outjumped every other center and has played consistent ball all sea son. He also is proficient in shooting fouls. Broughton of Jefferson is the only other center who has done ex cellent work, and was placed on the j second team. Robertson of James John has played good ball all season, but is net as good as Flynn or Broughton. Two Good Gaardm Develop. -Hutchinson of Jefferson and Kelly of Franklin are the best guards 'in the league. They are not only good in checking their man out, in an emergency, can shoot baskets.

DUNDEE IS AFTER K I LB AXE Scotch Wop Aspires to Win Feath erwelght Crown. NEW TOEK, Feb. 25. Johnny Kil bane, the featherweight champion may be Inclined to stay abroad whe he hears about It, but Johnny Dun dee is making no secret about th fact that he has started a campaign to force Kilbane into the roped arena orrelinquish his crown. The holde of the 130-pound title Is not only spilling a long typewritten page set ting forth his rights to a meeting with Kilbane, but he has also posted a $10,000 check guaranteeing to mak 126 pounds for the king of the feath ers at z o clock. The $10,000 check looks better than do the prospects of coaxing the foxy Mr. Kilbane into the ring with any dangerous opponent. Dundee ha been around for a long time, but he Is still dangerous. th reference to Dundee's age might be out of place but for the fact that he bases his claim on the right to l crack at Kilbane and bis title to the fact that eight years ago at Ver non, Cal., he went to a 20-round draw with the featherweight champion. The Scotch Wop weighed 121 pounds for that fistic engagement. All in all. Dundee would seem to nave an excellent chance of do'ng even better against K.Hbant than he did eight years ago if ho can get fclm in the ring. FAXXIXG BATTERS IS ART Few Twirlers Have Whiffed Trio In Nine Pitched Balls. Fanning three batsmen on nine suc cessive pitches doesn't happen often. Fitzgerald, pitching for Guelph of the Canadian league on September 3, 1885, struck out three of the Torontos on nine consecutive strikes. George Van Haltren, former big league star and noted batsman. In the earlier days of his career, was a won derful left-handed hurler. On May 20, 1886, against Oakland of the Cali fornia league. Van put over nine suc cessive strikes that retired three batsmen. "Rube" Waddell achieved this feat when on July 1. 1902. he fanned thir teen of the Baltimore team. Three of that number were retired on nine sua cessive balls. Tom Ramsey of Louis ville In 1886 struck out nine of the Baltimore players in succession, retir ing the first three of this string- on Cine pitched balls. City Ball League Complete. The admittance of Montavilla and Camp No. 17, Woodmen of the World, to the city league Friday night pives this organization six clubs and com pletes the personnel of the league. The clubs which make up the league are NIcolai Door, South Parkway, Brotherhood of Railway Clerks, Al berta Commercial club. Woodmen of of the World and Montavilla.

The opening date of the league has been set tentatively for April 1$ and. the closing: jaiy 30. J UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene, March A. (Special.) With the of- ficial'closing of the conference bas ket bail season this week, Coach Boh- ler is planning to begin active work with the baseball squad early next week. Workouts in the batting cage have constituted the bulk of the train ing so far this season, and uniforms and outfits other than bats and ball have not been issued. With the official call, however, it is expected that about 40 candidates will be Issued uniforms. Coach Boh ler's chief concern this year will be the pitching staff. The loss of Art Berg, the dependable southpav of the varsity nine last season will make it hard sledding for the varsity unless some Mdark horse' breaks out in a uniform. The official call for the pitching staff was issued this week and preliminary instructions given out to the veterans and members or the last year's freshmen team. Rollo Gray is the only varsity twirler avail able this year and the best prospects from last year's freshmen nine-are not, of a very likely-looking quality. "Lefty" Baldwin, Doug Wright and Phil Ringrle form, the trio of green men who worked in the box for last season's freshmen. The steadying down Influence of a veteran will not be . available to keep, the twirling staff working In the best shape. No freshman baseball coach has been selected and as a result Coach Bohler of the varsity has also been giving instructions to the first-year twirlers. Rainy weather has prevented outside workouts and the battery as pirants have been working in the in door gym and in the batting cage, which has been constructed in the old grandstand on Kincaid field. . Major Club Managers Backstops. One-half or the major league man agers who start the 1922 race will be catchers. Six of the backstops will boss National league clubs, five from the bench and Bill Killefer of the Cubs behind the bat. The others are Mitchell of the Braves, Gibson of the Pirates. Rickey, St. Louis: Robinson, Brooklyn, and Moran of Cincinnati. Of these Gibson was the greatest star, being one of the best of his day when an active player on the Pittsburg team under Fred Clark. In the American league Connie Mack said Lee Fohl represents the catching brigade who are managers. Connie Mack is the oldest manager in major league base ball, having turned 60 years. He was catching in 1886 and was sold by Hart ford to Washington in the old Na tional leagut HAIXES SUCCEEDS HARLOW 'Hinkie" Named Football Assistant to Hugo Bezdek at State.

The business of scaring up an opponent for Bobby Harper, the Seattle lightweight, is becoming' Mg problem to Harry Hansen, match maker for. the Portland boxing com mission. The Portland commission will stage a show next Saturday night at the Armory providing a good boy can be found to meet Seattle Robert and right now Hansen is scouring the coast for a good lightweight who figures on having sn outside chance with the crack Seattle boxer.

GT OLF has been regarded ever since became a popular pastime as a "gentlemans game. or au games played it la the only one In which a player is left to count his own penalties, In other words to he his own Judge, jury and advocate. Do we all play the game like gen tlemen and follow the simple dicta tion laid down by the golden rule? It has been suggested that golf of all games offers more opportunities to annoy opponents and win through sheer trickery than in any sport one can mention. A golfer may go out and play an honest game so far as counting each and every stroke and every penalty is concerned, yet stoop to the smallest things imaginable to win a match. If you are playing a gentleman's game at all times you will not stoop to any of the following petty annoyances that helo to win matches: Do you begin your matcn Dy teuing vour oDDOnent tnat he as going to have an easy time of it and that you are badlv off your game? If so, you are commiting the first breach of golf etiquette, which is an adroit way of letting him know that he need not play his best golf, thereby throwing him off guard. It is just as bad to tell an opponent this as It is to re mark to him before starting that he in for the licking of his life. In other words, attempting to intimidate him. Do vou keep up a running fire of conversation while playing and praise every shot he makes when you know n your own heart that you do not mean it? Sufrsrestions Poor Form, Do you tell him point blank to his face that he is playing the wrong way and offer suggestions that you think he needs or doesn t need? Do you stand in the line of his putt and annoy him in this manner or move while he Is making a stroke? Do you unconsciously stand behind your opponent while he is driving? Do you tee up your ball before your opponent has hit his drive? Do you stand over him while mak ing a shot with the idea that you mistrust him and are afraid that he is not going to count his strokes? Do you overpraise him on his style or his long drives, or attempt to take his mind off the' scoring by making him self-conscious of his own game? Do you ask him after every strike ow many he has played? Do you call attention to any luck ! might have with the idea in mind that he Is getting all the breaks in the game and that you are getting none? Do you swing your club while your opponent Is about to make a shot? Do you take an unusually lone time on the green to putt when you are aware it is making your opponent nervous? Do you annoy others by taking two or three practice swings? Do you refuse to let others come through when you are holding up the course? Do you keep an opponent waitini to make him nervous before starting Too Muck Silence Bad, Too. II you are not guilty of any of these you are a gentleman and play ine game as It should be played xnere are rew who can live up to every, rule of the game by which gentleman is measured. it has been said that the silent game is best of all, but there are players who overdo even this Some go so rar as to glare at an opponent and say nothing, makinsr him III nt ease. Others laugh at an opponent in a manner tnat makes him uncomfortable. I The code of golf rules call fnr or tain penalties but there are no penal ties attached to breaking any of the ruies oi etiquette of the game and Liiey are gust as important. One of the rules of etiquette lnslst3 mat wnen a player has Incu.rert penalty he should Intimate the fact to his opponent or partner as soon as puasioie. mere is but one penalty or sug- ecoiiuu ui a. loneit m all the ten rules. This is the tenth and last rule. It says that any player who does not continue in match play after "'e qualifying medal prize onuuiu tie wiusiuerea to nave forfeit ed the prize. x-ew goiters consider that there is wi minis in me rule book that sug gests that a player replace turf tak en up with the shot. Another 9. gestion, an important one, says that every player should fill up any holes made by him while taking his stance or making a stroke out of a sand trap. Hold Opponent to Roles. There also are susrerestions ininHj to keep the field moving- and nlavers are asked to consider others when counting up their strokes or trying cci. iiuna over again on the green. It is Just as necessary tn uim , rules of golf and the etiquette of the game as to learn the art of shot mak ing. Many golfers brag that they do lot iwiuw me ruies. Learning the rules would be important if we used mem only as a matter of golf knowl edge. We should each and every one of us know what to do and what not to do at all times. Playing in a qualifying round or in match. It is quite as essential that we hold our opponent to rules as that we obey them ourselves. If we per mit him to Infringe on any rule, both lay themselves open to disqualifica tion. tCopyright by the Bell Syndicate, Inc. MITZE COAST VETERAN BASEBALL- PLATER IN CONTIN UOUS SERVICE 13 YEARS. Two Seasons Were With Vernon and All Others With Oaks, Twice as Manager. BY WILLIAM UNMACK. There are a few baseball players who string along for 12, 15 or perhaps 20 years. Adrian Anson and Cy Young are two men who hold long years' service in major leagues, both having gone along 22 years. Then there is Hans Wagner, who for 17 years bat ted .300 or better, and today we have Ty Cobb wth 17 years of service, also in that charmed .300 circle. In the minor leagues the life of a player has not been as continuous. On the Pacific coast a record of 13 straight years will be made this sea son by Honus Mitze of Oakland. True, Mitze is not a Ty Cobb or any of the others. He cannot show any batting record equaling these men. nor does his 13 years equal those years of the men previously men tioned. He is, however, popular and Is one oi the best catchers that ever worked hereabouts. He joined the Oakland team in 1910. He has in the 12 years of actual playing participated in 1263 games and shows an average batting strength of .221. As a catcher he has been one of the best and his fielding shows an average of .967. In 1915 and 1916 he played with the Ver non team, and every other year has been with Oakland. He has twice managed the Oaks and has also worked under Bud Sharp, Harry Wol- verton and Del Howard, Things have changed since I first started." . said Mitze. I remember when the top salary used to be $300 a month and a "busher' was glad to get in at 1 100 a month. Today the stars get $750 and a busher won t look at le.ss than $250. The game has im nroved in the minors, and besides there is .more and more natural tal ent beiner found au over tne coast than in the past. There were always nlentv of ballplayers, but the stand ards of the players are higher today than in other years. Mitze's batting and fielding records follow: Bat- JTleia- Year Games, msr. mgr. 1910 : ism i 1912 1Q13 W 1914 1? 1913 1916 - J 1917 - 123 1S18 6 iaia Ill 1920 1? 1921 58 Averages ma w jjl p New Series a czgpr 1 l A x 1 ri I if " zj uLumooiies .191 .228 .228 .183 .231 .234 .240 .222 .196 .248 .248 .207 .221 .979 .9S4 .984 .986 .987 .906 .974 .909 .976 .961 .963 .983 .967 YANKS MAY LOSE SOUTHPAW New Tork Americans' Lone Left- Hander May Quit.
