University of Oregon, Eugene. Or.,
Jan. 17. 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

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

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

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.

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.

BILL HAYWARD WILL
SPEAK ON OUTDOOR
ATHLETICS TO HIGHS
Starts Tour of Southern Ore
gon Tomorrow In Interest
of More Healthy Bodies,
University of Oregon, Eugene, Or.,
Jan. 17. 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.

Stroud, Klawitter, Lively, Arrellanes,
Munsell and Lehman of last season's

RITCHIE'S SENTENCE

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

done.
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.
