CAN OREGON REPEAT,
IS A BURNING QUERY
i AT STATE UNIVERSITY
Bad Weather Has,. Put Crush
er on Workouts but Sup-
" porters Have Hopes.
NO CHANCE IN 3 EVENTS
i Btantnun Own Century, Fhlllips th
ss Javelin and Col tb Discus, but
- Others Are Tunp Apparently.
University of Oregon, Eugene, Or
JJay 22. Th burning question that
confronts the dopesters now is whether
. or not Oregon can repeat ner pertorm
ance of a year ago winning the North-west
Conference track meet at Cor
"'rallis on May 29. 3111" Hay ward is
" confident that this year will see an
other victory for the lemon yellow,
.making 10 since he has been at Ore
gon. . -
y : This year was prophesied as a
. classic milestone in the history of Ore-
gon!s prowess on the. cinder path. The
- ryear thus far has not been totally sue
rssful, in that Oregon fell down in a
few instances at San Francisco. Baa
.weather has also put the crusher on
efficient workouts. Despite this, how
ever. Oregon looks forward to an
other victory. ;
- - In three events Oregon has no chance
r f or first places, and those are the 100
i'yard dash, which the fast Washington
lan. Stent rum, has cinched; the javelin,
,in which Phillips of Idaho has easy
i pickings and the discus, which Cole,
the Aggie, will have little trouble In
. taking. r
-V--'- In the other events Oregon will stand
a chance of monopolizing. Several
events, however, are a tossup.
Oregon, Colleges Look Bast.
Everything points to a race between
. : Oregon and O. A. C. for first place.
In the distances both schools are
strong. If Reynolds runs the mile the
tug between the Aggie eight-forlonger
, and Hugging Will be a classic, and at
.,th same time either of the Oregon
runners will inure to extend himself to
jr-his utmost to read Clyde, the Wash
ington miler, who won last year race
j and holds the northwest record. The
"race . between Payne and Hobgood will
be a thriller to the finish, notwith-
standing the fact that Payne had the
feather on the Aggie two-mile marvel
f In the California meet. Payne won the
...race last year in 9:64, but has made
t th distance in 9:44 3-5 this year. Nel
on is a sure bet in the 880-yard event. j
, Since Parsons left college Oregon has
looked in vain for his equal in the
t broad jump. Mulrhead and Fee are
"good men, but are not experienced
r;enough in the event to be dependable.
t" In Mulrhead and Fee, Hay ward has
j, two men who will vie for high point
winners. Mulrhead is a phenom in the
curdles and the high jump, while Fee
is an artist in getting over the 11-foot
mark In the pole vault, and can place
In the high hurdles, the high jump and
the javelin. . ,t ;
IiOocks and Xadderly.
c The event, however, however, that Is

I down in the California meet it has
'dawned on the dopester that perchance
the - lean, elongated grasshoper can be
lead. But the fans say they will have
to be shown.
. Of late several mishaps have injured
I the team. '"Moose'' Mulrhead is hob
tiling around with a cane, because of
' boils on his knee; Sam Cook has had
a Dad arm lor the past week, while
Tom Boylen has had trouble with a

To have the fans appreciate the

should learn to get the games off to
a prompt start and to go through them

cares to sit through a slow game,

much faster time. It wears on their
patience and, after they have waited

UMPIRES NOT INFALLIBLE
VtU Tolly OlspUytd In Tryinr to Get
Arbitrator to Change Decision, sad
Fans Grow Disgusted.
New Tork, May 22. Umpire baiting,
the biggest blot on the escutcheon of
baseball, could be eliminated if tht
club owners assessed a heavy fine on
every man other than the manager or
field captain who attempted to argue
with the arbitrators.
And the magnates should fine the
manager or the captain in case his
language or conduct became such that
the umpire felt it necessary to chase
him from the field.
Umpires are human beings. They
aren't dogs. The trouble is that the
players think they can call the umpires
any and all the foul names that their
tong-uesrcan form. The practice of um
pire baiting besmirches America's na
tional game, and it should be stopped.
Umpire baiting is a detriment to the
game and always has been, t But It
ui uvu udui ciud nresiaanis
co-operate with league presidents and
fine the players for their disgraceful
conduce The most vulnerable part of
a player is his pay envelope. If he's
swatted there a few times for sums
ranging from 125 to 3109, It is a cinch
bet that he will conduct himself with
a certain amount of decency In the fu
ture, j
What utter folly it is for a player to
use abusive language toward an um
pire in an effort to get him to change
his verdict on a play! The umpires
8re not Infallible, but they work on the
theory that they are, and not once in a
tnousand times do they reverse a de
cision. The ball player knows this, and he
knows that the best he ever gets in an
argument with an umpire Is the worst
of It. Tet hardly a game Is played In
the big or little leagues that some of
the players do not upbraid an umpire
for his rulings.
Probably the chronic umpire baiters
kick up the fuss In an. effort to make a
grandstand play in a foolish, effort to
show the fans that they have some of
this j,o-called "pep" and "fighting qual
ities." The play to the grandstand,
however, is a failure. The, spectators
don't consider umpire baiting anything
other than a boob exhibition on the
part of the player, and further proof
that the player should have his bead
examined.
Umpires very often make miserable
errors. But ,they won't change their
rulings. Th grandstand may groan
and it may shout its Jeers at the um
pires, but it doesn't want its attitude
construed as an invitation to the play
ers to rush up and cuss the umpire. It
wants the players to play ball; it
doesn't want the" player to indulge In
debates with umpires.
Perhaps in the. dim arid distant past
players really forced umpires to change
their .decisions. But those instances
are so tare that they can be counted
on one band. But In the past and in
the present there are thousands of
cases where players were chased from
the game for arguing with the um
pires, and either suspended for several
days, thus weakening their team, or
were assessed a nice, fat fine.
The height of foily that's the real
definition' of the : practice of arguing
with umpires.
