Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
rallU, Pc. 21. Th Income -, of Oregon
Agricultural college la expected to
fall 1201,04$ short of the estimated
revenues urtflr the mlllage tax law,
according to Ujje assertion of Presi
dent W. J. Kerr at a meeting of mem
bers of the ataff of the college Imme
diate! following his return from the
east.
A crippling nauctlon from the orig
inal estlmateji had been expected by
college officials acoordlng to previ
ous calculations. However, these last
figures, based on a review of the lat
est statistics regarding the tax situa
tion in its relation to the Income
of the college, raise the difference be
tween the real and estimated income
to a still higher point.
Valuation of Property xeduoed.
"The actual valuation of taxable
property in the state for 1916 as just
announced by the tax commission la
$878,753,944," said President Kerr.
"This is $53,246,006 leas than the
actual valuation of state property for
1816, and $121,246,066 less than the
estimated valuation of state property
for that year. Since it was estimated
that the increase in propery valuation
would be at least 6 per cent a year
from 1815 on, it follows that the gap
between the estimated Income of the
college, as analyted by the tax eom
mlsiiloners and other experts at the
time the legislature put the state In
stitution on a mlllage-tax basis, and
the actual income of the college under
the new valuations, grows wider
every year.
Punas Pall Thousands Short.
"In 1917, for example, the estimated
Income of the college was $441,000.;
the actual Income, according to latest
evidence, will be but .$350,000, a dif
ference of $90,600. In 1918, the esti
mated Income was $463,050; the actual
Income, on the basis of present valu
ation of property, will bo $360,400, a
dlerertce of $111,649. Thus, for the
approaching blennlum, the college
funds will fall short of the estimated
Income by $201,048."
The presence of the double dilemma
of a decreasing income and an in
creasing student oody, better prepared
under the new entrance requirements
and demanding a higher quality of
wor.k,,,wa emphasized . by President
KeVr.
In spite of misgivings over the
present financial situation, the presi
dent expressed hU belief that an in
telligent appreciation of both the serv
ices and the needs of the Institution
on me pan or ine puoiic will not per
mit, the college Suffer serious reverses.

Fred Mitchell.
Samuel Hill Coming Ilome.
tjn Francisco, Deo. 21. (I. N. S.)
arrived here from New York yesterday
and left for Portland. He has been
east on business.
Now that Fred Mitchell has been
made manager of the Chicago Cubs,
it has come to light that he is another
baseball man working under an alias.
Mitchell's real name is Yapp, but he
changed it early in his baseball career
because, while some people might con
sider the name appropriate for a pro
fessional ball player, he thought It
would make him too much of a Joke.
Fred Yapp was born In Allston,
Mass., a part of Boston, 42 years ago,
and lived In South Lawrence, Mass.,
when a boy, his father running a rid
ing park. Fred attended the Packard
School there, where he played second
base. The family removed to Concord,
N. H., and later to Brooklyn, Mass.
Fred played semi-professional ball in
Concord, then for Lawrence of the
eastern league.
Was Pound By Jim Collins.
He first attracted the attention of a
big leaguer when Jmmy Collins, man
ager of the Boston Americans in the
first year Boston had a team In the
young league, gave him a trial. He
was a pitcher then, and one day he was
warming up and Collins called him to
one side and suggested a change in his
name.
"If you ever get on this team," said
Jimmy, "every fan in the country will
pan you with 'Close your yap' and oth- ,
cue and adopted his mother's surname.
He was not considered good enough
by Jimmy for the Boston Americans,
and he went back to the Eastern league.
Backstops were in demand, so Mitch
went behind the bat. In 1909 he was
the best hitter in the league and was '
bought by the New York Highlanders.
New York had a surfeit of backstops
so he was farmed out to Rochester, of
the International league, in 1911. Pre
vious to this he had a very brief career
as a major league pitcher with the Ath
letics and the Phillies. He finished his
work on the mound on the Toronto
club's pay roll m 1908. From Rochester
he went to Buffalo as catcher, and
when Stalling took charge of the
Braves in 1113 he brought Mitchell
with him. Mitch was ised entirely by
Stallings as a coach, particularly of
young pitchers, and the "miracle man
termed him his "right eye."
Mitch coached Harvard in 1916, and
the Crimson had one of its best years
on the diamond. Harvard wanted him
badly to coach again next year, but in
September Percy Haughton, despite hi
Harvard affiliations, Bigned him for
three years as coach and scout, the an
nouncement being made that his duties
with the Braves would not permit any
leave of absence to coach Harvard next
spring.

Anticipation

: i-i r 1
,j owiMuociviuc, or cqmpmeni, wnicn may
add to the passengers' comfort, convenience or safety, is
a responsibility which the Pullman Company for fifty
years, has consistently fulfilled.
In order that no improvement might be neglected,
every practical suggestion is actually incorporated in a
car under construction in our shops, and once a month
these suggested improvements are personally inspected
& . ? Committee on Standards composed of higher
officials of the Company.
The development of the sleeping car, the parlor car
and the enclosed vestibule are characteristic steps in the
constant advance made by the Pullman company in the
perfection of its equipment. To this end every new in
vention practical for Pullman car construction is carefully
considered, and, if contributing to safety or convenience
is adapted to car requirements.
improvement are of a highly technical
nature and contribute chiefly to safety. Others result
pnmanly in added comfort, or convenience to passengers.
All serve to anticipate the passengers' requirements and
meet the most exacting demands of the traveling public

"Step right this way, gentlemen.
Money, marbles or chalk for Pitcher
Herb Kelly. Do I hear an Offer?
Who'll start the bidding? Guaranteed
not to rip, ravel or run down at the
heels. Croiwd right in gents, an'
gimme a bid on this bird."
While Pitcher Herble Kelly is one
of the players the fans pulled for last
year, about the only damage he did to
the other clubs in the league was the
shattering of Frank Chance's sang
frold one week In Portland. Kel was
credited with three victories over the
Los Angeles team, and that, coupled
with the rain, caused the P. L. to put
the question mark on this town.
It Is understood that Manager
Walter McCredle is casting around for
a trad for Kelly. He, like a lot of
close critics of the game, doesn't be
lieve that the little southpaw, who is
around 24 years of age, will get any
stronger. Kelly has no fast ball to
fool the batters with and his piece de
resistance Is a slow curve. McCredle
thinks that a man to get by In the
Pacific Coast league must not be de
pendent upon one kind of ball, as Is
young Mr. Kelly of Notre Dame.
If Kelly is shipped away and Mc
Credle persists in his declaration of
sending Rip Hagerman to Spokane,
the pitching staff will present almost
a new collection of noses. In view of
the fact that Win Noyes Is going to
the Athletics by draft, Reuther to the
Chicago Cubs, via draft from Spokane,
and Al Sothoron to St. Louis by op
tional exercise, there will be left only
Byron Houck and Lyle Bigbee.
In view of McCredie's oft-repeated
assertion that he wants only youthful
arms on the pitching staff, southern
scribes are poking a lot of fun at him
in his assertion that he may get Fred
Beebe for the pitching staff for next
pprlng. Beebe, they point out, is
about as young, agile and handsome
as Long Tom Hughes. y
Cliff Blankenshlp, former manager
of the Salt Lake team of the Pacifio
Coast league and discoverer of the
famous Walter Johnson, has applied
to the Detroit Americans for a posi
tion as scout. A report from the
Michigan metropolis states that Presi
dent Navln is considering the pro
position of signing Blankenshlp, who
will succeed Billy Sullivan, the Che
halem apple merchant.
