DALLAS COLLEGE, DALLAS. Or. April 28. An evening contemporary of The Journal on Thursday, April 18, con tains a correspondence from Willamette university, Salem, in which that insti tution lays claim to the basket ball championship of the Pacific Coast and asserts superiority over Dallas College basketball team. These sweeping claims are based upon the following asser tions: First That Dallas refused to play th deciding game of the series on any floor wiin tne exception of the Portland floor, rejecting Oregon City, Corvallla and In- aepenaenc. Second That Willamette is sure of being able to defeat Dallas on any neu tral Held with which neither team is familiar. Third That Willamette's superiority Is shown by the scores of the two games wiin uauas. Assertion Is raise. Taking up the first claim: The asser tion that Dallas refused to play on any noor is raise. Dallas was willing to meet Willamette at McMlnnville, New berg, Portland or Independence, and gave her opponents propositions to this effect. The disagreement concerning the Independence floor was not as to place, but aa to the dimensions of the court Willamette presented an ultimatum In which she demanded that the court be 40 feet wide and between 60 and 80 feet long. Dallas rejected this proposi tion on the ground that Willamette's home court had these dimensions, being 0 LbS ANQELkfl.

Yet considering this fact Dallas College desires to at this time place herself upon record as not claiming the Coast championship. This nonor, for either' Willamette university or Dallas College to lay claim to, is rldculous. All-gtars Sold Title. The basketball championship un doubtedly cornea to Oregon, but not to Dallas or Salem. The All-Stars from the Y. M. C. A. of the metropolis holds without room for a doubt the much coveted and enviable honor. Willamette should not forget her overwhelming de feats at the hands of Seattle, nor should she forget the result of the Seattle-Portland game. Dallas College regrets exceedingly that thla matter ahould have been forced into print. Athletics are for the field and should not be decided in trie newspaper. Championships can never be settled with Ink, nor should they W.

Since the court at Dallas Is but 24 feet wide the collegians claimed that the advan tage gained by Willamette would be un fair. But in order that the game might he played. Dallas College expressed her self as willing to concede 11 feet in width, making a court 86 feet wide and 70 feet long. Willamette, by such proposition, would conoede but five feet from her width. This proposition the university rejected, resubmitting her own proposition of 40 feet wide or no game. Basketball rules require a court con taining 2,400 square feet but do not specify dimensions. Dallas was willing to play on a regulation floor, but would not concede to Willamette University, a court identical In size to the Salem court. Second Proposition. Taking up the second proposition: While Willamette, with astounding con fidence, expresses herself as sure of be ing able to defeat the collegians, this certainly is poor argument and Dallas ui inclined to say: "Show me!" While the Polk County Institution does not de sire to stand in the light of a brazfrart. yet the confjdenee and determination that carried her from honest defeat on March 20th to honest victory one week later has not deserted her, and the sweeping claim from Marlon appeals to the humor of Polk.

For the benefit of the baseball patrons of this city and adjacent fbwns. The Journal suggests to the directors of the Portland Browns that all Sunday games shall begin at 2:80 o'clock. This appllea more to the Browns than to the oppo sition, because the foul strike rule is not observed by the clubs in the Coaat League, which fact necessarily lengthens the playing time of the contest. On Sunday, the only day 0 recreation for the great majority, almost everybody enjoys early lunch and early dinner. If a game does not start until 3 o'clock, and if It takes two hours in which to play It. if will be almost 6 o'clock when the fans reach their homes, whereas, if the game commences at 2:80, the latest that It will be completed is about 4:30, which will give everybody sufficient time for a constitutional before dinner or supper. The fans desire the games at 2:30, and why cant we have themT Another argument in favor of early playing Is that many of the young peo ple, who otherwise could nol get to- church services in time, will have ample time to attend to their religious duties in the evening. There are many good ' reasons why it should be 2:30 How ' about It? . uw- (Journal Special Service.) SAN FRANCISCO, April 23. Yester day proved most disastrous for favorites at Oakland.
