Captain Payne Training
Track Team
Outlook for Baseball and Outdoor
Sports Never Brighter in the
History of n Institution.
(Journal Special Service.)
IWIVERSITT OP OREGON, EU
GENE. March 2. The tracK men are
getting down io hard work now under
the supervision of Captain Payne. About
26 candidate appear at the track every
afternoon and this number will be con
siderably increased within the next week,
aa many of the old men have not turned
out aa yet for regular work. An eager
crowd of itudenta gathers around the
track every evening, carefully sizing up
the new men. and the consensus of opin
ion Is that a bunch of speedy men will
be developed this season.
Trainer Ray will arrive some time
the early part of next month and he will
iind a hearty reception awaiting him.
From present appearances the team
this year will be strong In the sprints
and runs, but will be weak In the field
events. Henderson has done the best
work thus far with the weights, but
he has not been ablo to equal the dis
tance which Morrison of Albany has
been putting the shot.
3few Feature.
Manager Earl has Introduced a new
feature In the meets this year for the
university athletes. This Is the SO yard
dash. It has been several years since
the state university has been In a meet
in which this event was contested, so it
Is not known exactly what the sprinters
will be able to do In It. The short dash
was placed on the list of events in ac
cordance with the wish of some of the
smaller colleges of the state with which
the university will contest.
The McMlnnvllle College will be In
eluded In the list of competitors this
year. The varsity team will make a trip
down the Valley, meeting the Agrlcul
tural College, Willamette 1'nlversity, the
McMlnnvllle College and Pacific Univer
sity, while the meet with Albany College
will be held here.
zrw Athletic yield.
After much deliberation and discus
Ion the question of a new athletic field
Is practically settled Klncaid field will
be leased for either Ave or ten years
and the track, football and baseball
fields will be Immediately graded.
Is very doubtful, though, if the new
track can be gotten in shape for this
spring.
It is not probable that the university
will put out a baseball team until after
the close of the track season, as there
is not enough men to properly support
both branches of sport. Captain Murphy
of the baseball team Is doing track work
nd has promise of developing Into
peedy distance runner.
The golf club which was organised
ome time ago has rented a house near
the grounds and will proceed to put It
In repair for usage. The club is In
vsry flourishing condition, having a large
membership. .

Ike Butler In the opinion of noma
of the San Jose "fans." Is one of the
best pitchers they have ever seen.
Charles Shield has also Impressed them
favorably.
Oeorge Engle and .Joe Kostal, the two
Pitchers of the Browns who were on last

Ed Van Bur en, the tall center fielder of
the Portland Browns, has Impressed the
Ban Jose "fans" by the easy, graceful

Paragraphs of Interest Concerning
Athletes of Far Off Island.
That well-known and popular sporting
bonlface of Oxford street, Mr. Andy
Flanagan, says that Australian Tom
Tracey, who has as rood a right as
anyone else to the welterweight cham
pionship of America, is agreeable to
accept the National- Sporting Club s offer
of a 260 purse and his fare out, and
will come Sydneywards directly he hears
definitely from Mr. Brennan. A match
between Tommy Tracey and George
Johns would draw the biggest crowd
ever seen at a fight In Sydney of late
years.
Dan Creedon, the well-known Austral
ian-American boxer, who was listed to
box Bill McCall for the heavyweight
championship in Sydney, February 28,
was reported as being a favorite in the

Charley Mayhood baa charge of his
training and will send hi man in the
ring In the best of condition. Terry is
well under the 127 pounds agreed upon
and looks good. . He shows up strong
and fast In his boxing bouts during the
afternoon hours In the gymnasium. He
works wh a vim and perspires freely.
The champion, Corbett. has Harry
TuthiUl and Tim McGrath to look after
him, with Moxey Kane, the soldier
pugilist, who holds the title of cham
pion of tho Philippines, to withstand
his hatd blows during sparring bouts
In the gym. He will enter the ring In
better shape than he was with Eddie
Hanlon. He will also be several pounds
lighter. Corbett does more road work
than any fighter who has trained on the
Coast. He Is off for a spin of 10 miles
on the road In the morning and in the
afternoon also takes a long Jaunt.

head, better punch and (rood hands and
furthermore has a declaim over Terry.
Joe also soys that a,' champion who has

The fans of the entire Northwest are
justly Indignant at the recent action of
John J. McCloskey and President Lucas
In their desperate attempt to disrupt
the Pacific Coast League through the
agency of Pierce Chiles, the player who
whs dismissed in diHgrace from the
Portland baseball team. The fact that
Chiles had the audacity to follow the
Portland team to San Jose, and by offer
and bribe attempt to secure several of
the players for the Northwest League ts
an evidence of the desperate methed
that McCloHkey, Lucas and company will
resort to when hard pressed for a re
spectable standing.
There Is no plainer truth than this:
The Portlund baseball team of the Pa
cific Coast League Is here to stay. Some
of the stockholders were Interested in
the old Portland Club. They did not
leave the Northwest League for any
reason other than that they desired to
travel In better company. They could
not endure the schemes, intrigues and
plots of the Northwest League. Realiz
ing that the future of the national game
in this city depended upon a radical
change, a move was made to the Coast
League.
Oreat Wrongs Bone.
Persons familiar with baseball history
in the Northwest are aware of the gross
wrongs done both players and public In
days gone by. As for redress, there was
none.
A change had to come if baseball was
to exist on the coast and the Portland
baseball club Intends furnishing the pat
rons with the best article of ball that
money can procure.
As regards the public, they are sick
