Oregon faces the 1914 track season with, two seasoned first place veterans, two or three consistent sec- tertal." "BiU" Hayward, Oregon's trainer does not put much faith in "prep" school records. "The ten sec ond man from high school generally negotiates the century In 11 or there about. The reps these freshmen have don't appeal to me. Tell me whom they have beaten and I'll tell you who they are." -.She two first place men from last year's team back are 8am Cook, the Idaho "strong" man, who manages to heave the 16 round around 42 feet and throws the javelin consistently 150 feet. and Parsons, broad Jumper, who is good for better than 22 in his event. In all but -one. meet in which he was entered last' year Chet Fee, the Pendleton high rhrtnl hnv waa 1 nrll vlfln a 1 nni ti t win. ner. Fee is an all round track man doing 150 in the Javelin, 11 feet three inches in the pole, vault, five feet nine Inches in the high jump, and topping the high hurdles near 16 seconds. Fee should develop from the consistent sec ond place man of last year to a star this season. Tommy Boylen, another Pendleton boy, is a good quarter iniler. Tommy didn't do very much last year but he says he is due to arrive this year, neiaenreicn aoes izu leei in me discus and should better this mark this year. Floyd Payne, the phenomenal fresh man from Athena, Or., breasts the taps In the mile in 4:28 and., is the only man of the newcomers upon whom Hayward is depending. Payne repre eented the Multnomah club of Portland In' the recent Portola carnival in San Francisco. Payne never had a tutor In high school and learned to run by himself. His friends predict big things for him under Hayward's tutelage Among the other "green cappers" who 1 r-lr nftniii lit XT a rt n Kftlflnn a short distance graduate of Johnny Veatch's athletic 'actory at Washing' ton high, Portland.

Lake is not yet in school but will enter In February, There Is a possibility that Goreczky will matriculate at Oregon In time to be available for track. Gor eczky has a-record of 22 flat in the 220 and 10:1 in the 100 yard dash. Malarkey has a :52 mark In the 440. Lroucks, a Junior from Reed college.

CAPTAIN BAKER SEES AGGIES' BEST CHANCE TO BEAT OLD RIVALS j . Qregcrn Agricultural College, Corval- lis. Or., Jan. 18. O. A. C. has the I best chance to beat the University of Oregon In track this year that she has i ever had," said Captain John O. Baker, track- captain at the Oregon Agricul tural college. "If the strictest train ing regulations, and steady, faithful work can accomplish anything, then O. A. C. will take the Lemon-Yellow on. They have lost a bunch of good men over there, Wlndgale, McClure, Hug gins and othersand our force is near ly as strong as It was last year. We ought to take them on." Coach Stewart cannot see the optim ism of Captain Baker. He feels keenly the loss of McKenzle, Williams, Doyle and Mllering. They filled the places last year which, according to the O. A. C mentor, will prove to be the weakest spots in the local' squad this season. New material is scarce, only 10 new comers appearing to answer the first track call.' With such a condition star ing his squad in the face. Coach Stew art Sings in the minor key. Strict training regulations were en forced this week. . Late hours, tobacco, hard and soft drinks, and other Indul gence harmful to the wind and const! tution must be abjured by all who have visions of winning a monogram on track or field this year. More than the usual severity will characterize the punishments meted to the offend ers this season. ; : Three Times a "Week. Practice will take place three times per week. The armory, will be used 'during the wet weather, and If the plans go aright, there will be an eight- lap track, banked at tne turns, con strttcted in the big stadium during the coming month. Coach Stewart is dick ering with the war department for the i concession at .the present time. A new system of early training has been inaugurated this year. The men were divided Into nine squads, depend ing upon the specialty which he intends L to pursue. Baker and Anderson will Fthe middle distances.

"San Francisco at Boyes Springs. Cal. Los Angeles at San Bernar dino, Cal. Oakland at Livermore, Cal. All "Pacific Coast league .teams, with the exception of the Los Angeles and Oakland teams, have definitely decided upon the sites of their training camps for the 1914 season. Manager Dillon of the Angels will likely have his players report at San Bernardino while the Oak tossers will likely- get the kinks out of their arms at Livermore. Manager Devlin is expected to pick his training place during the coming week. Happy Hogan is the only P. C. man ager, who will train his players on bis home field. Hogan believes that the Los Angeles climate will benefit his players more than the climate In any other part of Southern California. Masager McCredle will take his players back to Santa Maria, where he trained two years ago. Last season Mac had his players report at Visalia, Sacramento and San Francisco are the only clubs that will train on the same grounds as they did in 1913. If Oakland selects Livermore, it will be In the same class as the Seals and Senators. All Coast league teams, with the ex ception of Portland, will begin train ing during the latter part of February. McCredle will take his players south during the first part of March and will be in the training camp four weeks. ASTORIA'S ATHLETIC ORGANIZATION IN THRIVING SHAPE Ninety Members Keep Things Humming at Mouth of the River, Astoria, Or., Jan. 17. The Astoria Athletic club which was organized In this city about three months ago is progressing nicely, and now has a membership of 90. The club is the i center of all local athletic activities, and the best material in tbls section is affiliated with it. The quarters are well equipped with gymnasium appar atus for the benefit of the members. The basketball team managed by Fred Evenden has been very successful, and last evening defeated the fast Beaver ton club quintet. A game has been scheduled with the McLoughlin club of Portland for January 25. Next summer the club will support a semi-professional baseball team, and is expected to be th fastest aggrega tion of the kind in this part of the country. Arrangements are ' being made for a park, and It will be put Into shape as early as possible. The Astoria Baseball Association, which has5 supported the Astoria Giants for the past two seasons, will not put a team in the field this season, and is making arrangements to sell Its grandstand and other equipment. Among the members of the club are a number of boxers and wrestlers who show considerable ability and who have won more or less honor with the gloves and on the mat. Dick Phillips, formerly of Calgary, Canada, Is a qiassy little 124-pound boxer, and Kid Martin, 130 pounds, also has much ability In this line. Fred Sidney, who was a number of years ago, one of the best middleweight boxers In the northwest. Is serving in the capacity of boxing Instructor. Leb Carlson, heavyweight, Billy McMullkt, middle weight, and Johnny Marlla, light weight, wrestlers, are tne leading mat artists of the club. lngs, and will practice faithfully under the direction of the leaders. The Aggies have taken up a long and arduous training season. The first conference meet will not take place for It weeks, and in that time, with the preseason events which Coach Stewart has arranged, tke locals should be pre pared to put up the hardest scrap yet made for the championship. " t Dr. W. L. Duck) Dressly. who managed the Roanoke team In the Vir ginia league last season, has signed to pilot Norfolk in the same organi zation.

Answering requests from a number of high schools in the state, William L. Hayward, athletic director of the university, will leave tomorrow on a lecture tour of the southern part of Oregon. Mr. Hayward will lecture upon the organization of outdoor ath letics, personal hygiene, and will also exhibit slides and moving pictures of famous athletes In their specialties. The Itinerary of this trip is: Medford, January 19; Ashland, January 20; Klamath Falls, January 23; Grants Pass, January 26, and Roseburg, Jan uary 27. Later a trip will be taken Including Portland, Astoria, Coos Bay and coast points. "For several years," said Hayward, "the physical measurements of the freshman class in the university have been poorer." The letters from the high schools In the different parts of the state Indicate that this is known to principals, and the university is happy to be able to do this extension work. No one believes more thor oughly In the principle of a sound mind in a healthy body than I do. But you must have the healthy body. So ciety does not want the lopsided indi vidual, all head and no body, any more than it wants physical brutes. Mr. Hayward will take along a num ber of exhibits. He has a human stom ach, and from slides will show the normal stomach, able to function prop erly, the stomach with just a little alcohol in It, the drunkard's stomach. and the stomach of a person in the last stages of delirium tremens. "I believe overtraining is as bad as under-development,'" said Mr. Hay ward, "but abuse of one s body Is a sacrilege. I am trying to eradicate the negative cause of the decrease In phy sical measurements among high school students as shown by those entering the University of Oregon, that of ath letic Inactivity, but am certainly tak ing a punch at dissipation, the posi tive cause of weakened vitality. I shall try to Impress upon my audi ences the disastrous effects of alco hoF ana tobacco. If lh no other way I shall tell them that any one hav ing athletic ambitions will have to abandon either his dissipation or his hope of supremacy In sports." CALIFORNIA HAS REASON TO BE PROUD OF TENNIS California has reason to be proud of its lawn tennis experts, with Maurice McLoughlin rated first In singles and sharing with T. C. Bundy In doubles, while Miss May Browne tops the list of women In singles. Two other Call fomians are In the ranking 10 in men's singles, these being Johnson and Strahan, the Matter, with C. J. Grif fin, ranking second in doubles; Mrs. Bruce and Miss Florence Sutton are second and third In women's singles, and Miss Myers, still . another Call fornlan, is ninth on the women's list.

SIXTY PITCHERS TO GET.TBYOUT ON COAST Holdovers From Last Season Greatly in Majority in All Baum's Circuit But Enterprising Managers Get Busy in Securing New Twirlers for 1914, Over 60 twirlers will be tried out by the managers of the six Pacific Coast league teams during the spring practice season, which opens next month. A majority of the wing artists played in Allen Baum's league last season, while others have been drafted and purchased from various leagues throughout the country. Three twirlers. White, Hughes and Geyer, were In the major leagues last season and are expected to be regu lars on the Venice, Los Angeles and Oakland twirling staffs, respectively, this, coming season. A number of promising bushers will be given try outs with Coast managers. The Port land Beavers will carry at least half a dozen promising youngsters to their Santa Maria camp. Many changes will be made in some of the teams' pitching staffs. Manager Devlin of the Oaks has secured two new faces, but has hopes of landing a couple of other good pitchers before the opening of the training .season. XiOg Angeles to Reinforce. Hogan of the Venice Tigers and Dil lon of the Angels will have several new faces In the makeup of the 1914 pitching string. The Portland Beav ers will have one new face, while Man ager Del Howard of the Seals will be pretty well satisfied If all of his 1913 twirlers return. Wolverton loses Wil liams, his star twlrler, but hopes to be able to replace him with a twlrler of major league caliber. On paper, the pitchers of the Port land staff appear stronger than the twirlers of the other teams of the league. R. Brown, the player drafted from the Cedar Rapids team, looks like a comer In Coast circles. He had an excellent record during the 1918 sea son. McCredle Is also banking on Larry Pape, the former Sacramento twlrler, to deliver the goods this sea son. There Is little danger of any Mackman signing with the Federals, although rumors state that "Rip" Hagerman Is likely to Jump. The Beaver leader will take Hafey, who was tried out last season; Fram bach of Rupert, Ida.; Berslng of Twin Falls, Ida., and Miller, Hall and Sal veson of California. Hall and Hafey are left handera. McCredle Is hopeful of getting two good twirlers out of this bunch of bushers.

It is expected that Manager Howard will have a coupla of other major league twirlers on his roster before the middle of February. Six Twirlers, in addition to the seven holdovers, will be taken to the spring camp of the Los Aneeles team. Owner Berry is anxious to keep the Angels in the lead all season and ex pects Manager Dillon to get a good. live minch of twirlers for the 1914 season.

Fleharty from the Southern league, White from the Wite Sox and Decannler, the southpaw turned loose by the Seals. Hogan has his eyes open for a number of other twirlers. Oakland to Brace. Southpaw Geyer of St. Louis and Barrenkamp of the Pittsfield, New England, team are expected to brace the Oakland staff. Six of Oakland's last season pitchers will return and all of them" are expected to de better work than they did last season. Ma larkey, the Oak's mainstay last sea son, is expected to be at the top of the league this coming season. Manager , Wolverton will have Stroud, Klawitter, Lively, Arrellanes, Munsell and Lehman of last season's team. This, sextet of twirlers kept the Senators up in the race after Wol verton's star, Williams, hurt his arm. The Senator's manager has purchased Southpaw Cann from the Kansas City club and has lined up Lang. Los Angeles southpaw; Keegan and Gil llsple, right handers, who have been setting the bushes on fire with their great pitching. The Federals are after Klawitter of the Sacramento team, but the former Portlander is too fond of the Coast to desert it for the hot middle west. Won. Lost. Lost. SO. BB. Pet. BA.

LEFT FOOT ON PILLOW FOR TWO LONG WEEKS RITCHIE'S SENTENCE (Continued from Page 1. This Section.) match, does not stand with those who assert that it is fear of the conse quences that is causing Ritchie to de lay the issue with Tommy Murphy. "Time is fleeting" and It may be but a short while until Willie heaps eon fusion on those who are twitting him with cowardice. At the same time candor compels me to say that Ritchie himself Is largely to blame for the fact that he la placed in an equivocal position. When he hurt himself instead of communicating personally with Pro moter Luiirum ana acquainting mm i with toe facts, he delegated the tattk to Harry Foley. The latter went about bis, work in a bungling, tactless way. First he gave out that Ritchie was going to ask for a postponement on account of "washouts" that would pre vent the out of town fight fans from attending the bout. Later he told that jniiciuo uau nun nil aieei. w.

Kltchle Bepadlatss Xanager. Foley told certain of the newspaper writers that RltcMe was III abed and unable to attend to the forfeit matter and that same afternoon Ritchie at tended the Cort theatre. From the time Ritchie twisted hU ligament until the present he has neither telephoned Coffroth nor called upon him. i Is It any wonder that Ritchie's mo tives are questioned and that opinions unfavorable to the champion ars formed? Ritchie's tactics have caused many to think that he Is Indifferent to pub lic opinion, whereas, those who are close to him say that he Is an ex tremely sensitive young man. He w'.l) have plenty of time to ehew tie cud of - reflection while he Is nursing his lame leg and It may be be will decide to be more considerate of the rights oi otners in tne ruture.
