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

the last game, and by having defeated
Corvallla which team defeated Wil
lamette University making six field
goals to the varsity's two from th
field the Polk County college, by virtue
of this situation, ranks above her rivals
In the capital city. 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.

The basketball championship un

without room for a doubt the much

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

40 feet wide and 60 feet long. 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.
Taking up the last proposition: Bas
ketball championships are not decided by
points, but by games. But if Willamette
desires to stand on the present situation

NASHVILLE, Tenn., April 23. The
annual spring race meeting began to
day at Cumberland Park with Ai out
look never brighter in the history of
the Tennessee Breeders Association.
Since last year the course has been
vastly improved and new stables erect
ed. The latter are filled with fast
horses from nearly all of the well
known stables in the country. The
Cumberland Derby, as usual, is the
event of the opening day.
The meeting oontlnues until May 2.
Five stakes, including the derby with
33.000 added, and the Citizens' handi
cap, 31.600 added, are offered. The 1
purse races are from 8300 to 3690.

The Fans .Want It.
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-

SHORT DUSTINGS
Brief. Paragraphs Concerning Pa
of c National Players. .
Helney Deisel Is one of the best men
Grim has on his team. "Jake's brudder"
is as fast as any player in the league
and is also a good sticker.
In Quick the Portland Nationals have
a very good twlrler and with a good team
behind lilm ought to win a majority of
his games.
and con has arisen over my latest vic
tory over McGovern. On November 28,
1901, I lowered the colors of McOovern
at Hartford, Conn., In the second rour.d
and annexeQ the championship title. In
my second meeting with McGovern I
found him Just as hard gnme as when I
first defeated him. In my. last meet
ing I knocked out McfGovern completely,
despite the statements of his press
agent and others Interested In his win
ning. On my arrival In New York la
June I will consider McGovern's offer
after my vaudeville tour closes. I have
defeated him twice, and feel asaured if
we ever meet a third time I can still
retain the championship title. We go
from here to Seattle. Spokane, Butte,
Salt Lake City, and on my arrival at
Denver, dn May 10, will play one week
at my old home."

PHILADELPHIA, April 23.--Harr
Tuthlll, "Young Corbetfs" trainer, now
in this city en route to New York, says:
"Corbett will box McGovern again if
the inducements are large enough, for
he is more confident than ever that he
can beat the ex-champion any time they
meet. The champion will not bar any
man in the world in his class and they
can't come any too fast to please him.
He is out to get all the money in slght
and if he can see any good prospects In
another contest with the Brooklynlte
he will give the Brooklyn boy a third
and last chance to regain his . laurels.';
The champion's manager gave a ver
bal. promise that the great feather
weight would box at the closing show
of the Washington Sporting Club, dl
this city, meeting any man in his class
the club might select.
"Jack" Munroe and Tom. Sharkey are
to meet in a 6-round bout befors th
Washington club for a side bet of
$2,000. .
