' (Journal Special Berries.) -UNIVERSITY OP OREGON. KIT. GENB, March 16. Friday afternoon be fore a crowd of 400 cheering, howling students, tha State University basket ball team went down before the sturdy lads from the Oregon Agricultural Col lege by a score of 14 to 22. Ths gams was characterised throughout by bril liant playing on both sides. The crowd was pretty evenly divided In their sup port and the closeness of the game kept tne intense enthusiasm up to the very last for It was anybody's game until the timekeeper's whistle blew for the end. Falls were numerous. but the 'varsity team was the worst in this line, having three falls charged against them in each half, while the O. A. C team made two In each half. Of these free trys at baskets, each team suc ceeded In converting two Into scores. For the visitors, Moores was the star player, making three field goals In each half. Pllklngton, the speedy football player as center, did some great work. For the university, Captain Thayer was always' in the game, and to him a large part of the credit is due for hold ing down ths score. Taylor, who re placed Hug, was probably the most bril liant player in the game. Notwithstand ing the fact he was pitted against th giant Pllklngton, the little fellow suc ceeded In making four field baskets. La tourette also deserves special' mention for his work, making three field goals. While the supporters of the teams were very Intense in" their enthusiasm, the best of feeling prevailed on both sides. The captains of the respective teams expressed themselves as well satisfied with the result of the game. The offi cials were: Warfleld, W. II. referee; Pat- ) (Journal Special Service.)

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., March 18. Frank Schoenfuss, who up to a few days ago was regarded only as an unusually good baseball pitcher, has now come for ward as the best Bhot putter Harvard ever had and a likely aspirant for the Intercoueglaata record. With the 16-pound ball In the Hemen way gymnasium today he put the weight 44 feet 8 Inches, which is only three Inchest less than Becks' record breaking put at the Mott Haven games last spring, and Incidentally Is three-quarters of a foot better than Harvard's best previous record of 43 feet 11 Inches, made by Chester Robinson last year.

" PITTSBURG, March l.The depart? ore of the Pittsburg ball team of the National League for the Southern train ing ground is set for this evening and all of the players are on hand to take the trip. Hot Springs, Ark., has been selected as the most suitable place for the team to get Into condition for the pennant race. Ert route home from the Arkansas resort practice games will be played with Little Rock. St. Paul, Pine Bluff, St Louis Americans, Louisville, Indianapolis and Columbus. John J. McCloskey, of the Butte Base ball team, arrived in Portland thje morning from San Francisco, where he pent tha past two weeks making ar rangements to finance the two new clubs that are to represent the Pacific Northwest League In the cities of Los Angeles and San Francisco. According to Mr. McCloskey, his trip was successful In every detail, he hav ing secured the necessary flnancdal backing and perfected plans for rival looms in the California cities. In speaking of his trip to Ban Francisco, Mr. McCloskey said: ' "When I left here for California, no one but President Lucas knew my des tination. J 'went to San Francisco and got the people there interested tn our proposition. Sidney Hart after I as sured him that our proposition was all right, agreed to back us, aided by sev eral other gentlemen. For Los Angeles Mr. Garrett said that he would furnish the , necessary wherewith. When I got this far, I wired to President Lucas and Manager Dugdale to come to San Francisco, fho former to receive his for feit money, the latter to furnish a bond that be would remain with the Seattle team. After I assured them' that Dug dale was all right and that he would remain loyal to the Northwest League, they did not require any bond from him. At no time was there any suggestion or mention that Dugdale would leave Se attle to manage the San Francisco team. That -story which emanated from Seattle was Incorrect. That I am going to manage Ban Francisco is at this time untrue. I had an offer to manage the San Francisco team, but on account of my two years contract with the Butte team, I could' not accept the offer un less President, Lane agreed to release nie. If ho does, then I shall manace Frisco. The outlook for the Northwest League to bright Great credit should be given to President Lucas for the able manner In which he has handled the delicate situation. I hate person alities and cannot Indulge in any.. The pumisnea reports in dinerent papers that I have read lately are so full of mistakes that I must overlook them en tirely. The work we have accomplished will speak for itself. Walt and see." Mr. McCloskey will leave this city to night for Butte, where he will confer with President Lucas regarding his re lease to San Francisco. ERRORS GALORE Tommy ReiHy Will Meet Kid Car ter Instead of Kid Parker This morning's Oregonlan printed the statement that Tommy Kellly and "JCld" Parker had been matched to box 20 rounds before the Pastime Club of this city. Such a statement was erroneous throughout and' anyone professing to know the slightest bit ' about boxing would not have been responsible for It. Tommy Reilly was not matched with "Kid" Parker, but was signed with "Kid" Carter. Furthermore, Parker is a light weight and could never make 158 at the ringside, which Reilly demands of his opponents as a middleweight .Again, Reilly Is from Seattle and not San Fran cisco. Again, Carter is from Brooklyn and not from Los Angeles. Again, Reilly meets Jim Tremble, a bona fide middle weight at Marysvllle, . Cat, on March 21. The custom of fighters is to box in their class. This rule is adhered to strictly. Carter has an excellent rec ord, having met some clever men in bis time. Ths Hatch. Tommy Reilly of Seattle, who scales but 168 pounds, and "Kid" Carter of New York, a 170-pounder. are listed to box 0 rounds before the Portland Pas time Athletic Club on April 9. It is reported that the weights have been mutually agreed on at lOu, at ringside. poet- McGelfand and Daley. (Journal Special Service.) ' PITTSBURG, March H.The poned Jack McClelland-Andy Daley con test, which is scheduled for decision to night before the Allegheny Athletic Club, is attracting considerable atten tion in sporting circles. McClelland has always been a prime favorite In this locality and In Daley, who has defeated such., man as Austin Rice and Patsy Sweeney, It is believed , McClelland will find a worthy opponent- Sammy Myers of New York has announced his Inten tion to challenge the winner of the bout. Is said that Vawter represents the anti Fulton element and will be opposed by the supporters of Senator E. V. C. Carter. Here, as everywhere, the recent oourss of the Democratic members of the Leg islature and the record made by Gover nor Chamberlain, has built up the Demo cratic party. The Mays law, honored by the Democrats and dishonored by the Re publican authors.. .has been a boomerang whtch would cause n Australian bush man to (urn green- with envy. The coming of Vawter Indicates a fac tional fight since ha is so strongly op posed by Carter, Tjho will be the Her mann general in Jackson County. This Is the view taken by some of the big politicians. There has been an intima tion that the embarrassing home candi date plea might compel the Carter-Fulton people to avoid a hot fight In Jackson County. Yet the Fulton-Carter-Hermann clique, when faced by this local candidate proposition In Lane ahd several other counties, will endeavor to send Hermann delegates to the Eugene convention. Senator Daly's Appointment The naming of Daly is looked upon as an endeavor to harMonlzfi- the factions. Fulton people think that they should have been rewarded for their unfaltering fealty, but the higher consideration of disarming opposition And the recognizing of the other faction won out over the payment of personal debts. This is be lieved by the Fulton people "to have been more than offset by the projection of l...s one ray of sunshine through the dark political clouds that had en veloped the defeated and discouraged anti-Fulton warriors. Notwithstanding this effort of nnrmpnlzation there are abundant materials evident for prolong ing the fight. The conclusion of the convention on April 19 will be to send forth the element in- more or less bitter ness. ' Brownell's Candidacy. "George C. Brownell as United States District Attorney, will mean almost 1,000 votes In the First District In favor of the Democrats," said E. R. Sklpworth of Eugene, Democratic state central com mitteeman for Lane county. "It looks like he would secure the appointment. continued Mr. Skipworth, "but if he does the Democrats will have placed In their hands the most powerful weapon with which to be hi bo r the opposition. All In all. the Democrats are In a very ad vantageous position. If Brownell Is not appointed certain factions In the other party. . will be disappointed that the Fulton machine does not reward the faithful Simpson Wins Match. Basketball Note.

When ths members of the Port of Portland Commission meet under spe cial call and view the Victoria site which has been offered for tho estab lishment of the new drydock tomorrow afternoon, , It will not be with the in tention of making a decision at that time. It wjll be impossible for tests, which have already been undertaken, to develop .the fact desired until later in the week. "I have a fores of. men at work mak ing soundings and testing the adhesive ness of the soil at the site of the old Victoria dock," said Engineer J. & C. Lock wood to a reporter for The Jour nal this morning, "and thus far the W ture of the earth Is about the same as that found at the St. Johns proposed site. It will be impossible for me to form anything. like an accurate opinion for some time to come, but I hope to have my report in proper form by Frl day, the date of the next regular ses sion of the commission." Tests at Victoria Sits. Ths men employed at tho Victoria. sits are sinking a drill into the earth as rap idly as possible, carefully testing the soil extracted in order that its adhes Iveness may be fully determined. Pres ent Indications are that piling will not have to be sunk nesrly so far to find substantial foundations there as was proved by the experiments carried out some time ago oh ths Mock's Bottom tract It Is not expected that any definite Information can be supplied the mem bers of the commission until the report of the engineer is submitted at the Friday meeting, but on tomorrow after noon the commissioners will gather at their chambers and proceed in a body to the Victoria site, devoting some time to looking it over in a general way, giv ing attention to the current the depth obtainable northward from the river bank, the amount of excavation neces sary and such like points. . . .. Simply Informal meeting. "The meeting will be purely an in formal one," said President Banfleld this morning. "I simply desire that each member shall be given an opportunity to get a general idea of the lay of the land In order that they ma the more readily understand the report of the engineer when It is placed before them." The members of the Port of Portland Commission have taken no formal ac tion with regard to the Mock's Bottom tract offered by F. W. Leadbetter, and in that sense the site Is still before them. However, it is understood by all that it has been withdrawn from con sideration. The statement made by Mr. Leadbetter at last Friday's -.VmeeClng, when he said he would withdraw his site from further consideration in favor of the offer made by Captain Spencer, which wa so much more liberal than his own, which was considered sufficiently conclusive proof that he had no further In tention of prssslng his offer, really be lieving that the duty of the commission ers lay in another direction. This Is understood by the various members and they are not giving attention to th Mock tract, preferring to devote their time to more practical and feasible lo cations. Pleased at Mock Withdrawal. 'It Is too early to make any state ments regarding the advantages or dis advantages of the Victoria dock site for the drydock," said Colonel J. McCrack- en, member of the 1'ort or roruana Commission, this morning. "We. have not yet gone into all the details of the offer and are not in a position to weigh its real merits. There are many things to be taken into consideration. I be lieve, however, that there are several sites better suited to drydock purposes than the Mock's Bottom offer, and I am pleased that tne latter nas Deen an nosed of. I do not believe it should have ever been considered. 1 am In formed on the best of authority that there would be danger to vessels at tempting to ejnter a dock located there, and I believe that the lax adhesiveness of the quicksand soil would result in any excavation that might be made filling in again wiU more or less rapidity. It would thus be Impossible for any lm provement made to become permanent and constant dredging wouia De ren dered necessary. There Is no real pro tection from the wind there, either, as the bluffs which .have been claimed to act as a wind break are on the north side, and hard winds never blow from the north in this section." Tale Xeadbetter's Advice. C. F. Adams, another member of the commission, said: "The Intention of Mr. Leadbetter was plainly to withdraw the Mock's, Bottom proposal, as I un derstood his advice as a taxpayer to be against Its purchase and in favor of the Victoria proposition made by Cap tain Spencer." Commissioner Ben Selling said: "Mr. Leadbetter advised tne commission In favor of the proposed Victoria site, say ing It was more liberal than his offer. That was certainly a very plain state ment" The matter now to be determined by the board and which it Is hoped to bring out at the Friday meeting when the re port of the engineer is read, la the prob able cost of Improving the Victoria site. These figures will be compared with the probable coat of Improvement of other sites and it will then be possible to de termine which will be cheapest and most advantageous in other ways. Other things being equal the comparative low price at which it is offered would ap pear to influence the commissioners to ward accepting the Victoria offer, but Whether other things are equal must first be determined. gsES3ac2iaiaBszii5SMisasTs:srszx2rr;i::rzrrzr:;ii For Strength and Durability ; For Ease of Running ' For Oroceful Unes For General Excellence , NOTHINQ EXCELLS OR EQUALS TUB .
