Drastic changes in the regulations and rules governing harness racing un der the grand circuit colors were adopted at the annual meeting of the Stewarts here. One of the biggest drawbacks of the rcort was the 'false breaks" by the drivers at the score. Formerly a email fine was imposed for this offense, but that was Ineffective. Vnder the new rules drivers may be suspended from one to seven days for breaking. The starter, instead of the judges, shall make the ruling. In ad dition the starter may disqualify the horse and refund the entrance fee, or impose a stiff fine. This is considered one of the most forward steps the circuit has taken in years. Another change was the adoption of the two in three heat system, whereby a horse may be declared winner by winning the first two heats. Previous ly all races went three heats, regard less of the winners. In all races con ducted under the three-heat plan, any horse winning a heat shall take a win race record. All grand circuit meetings will be con ducted under this system, except handi rans and dashes. By Leea B. Jacksea T1USH baseball fans are assured of at least two fast semi-pro leagues dur ing 1922, the Willamette Valley league and the City league. Both are tinder the process of organisation, the Valley league electing Fred N. Bay as head of their, organisation, while the City league will choose their head In a week or so. By the limitation of teams in each league and the friendly spirit between the two, fans should be assured some real fast games this summer, and it Is hoped that sufficient patronage will be extended to both of them to insure their success. The City league, a new organisation sponsored by the writer, has been be sieged with applications for admittance by every class of ball club, but efforts will be made to hold the circuit to eight clubs, with an excellent chance of hold ing to six teams. There are arguments In favor of both the proponents of a six and an eight club league, and -this will be threshed out at the next meet ing of the league. Some of the "first class bushers are making plans to leave where the money rolls in a little more frequently. Idaho and Canada seeming to be the favored spots so far. Quite a few of thenv will I go north to the newly organized West- ern Canada league, while the rest will I bush around the small towns. days bossing around ta sell their sup plies. Semi-pro managers are very much pleased to find oat that it will coat tbem about S3 per cent less to put teams in the field this year, the average having dropped about that much. This will also be Joyous news to the younger genera tion of sand lots fame. worker In the propeawd Industrial laagne. which, - from appears no . swims to ba pretty good." If sufficient enthusiasm amongst th basinaaa ' men caa ba aroused. Rumors of big "dough" for semi-pro ball players for the coming season are being passed around as is usual at this time of the year. These always float around at the beginning of the season, but It is the wise player who likes to see the cash la hand and not on the bush. Semi-pro managers have not the income to pay handsome prices, as there are too many good youngsters who sim play play for the sport of the game and as a rule cause less trouble to their managers. , , . --. Clarence Fosa, be of the Portland Woolen Mills fame as' manager, is, as usual,, quiet as a clam and will have nothing to say- regarding bis . plans. other than die expects to put a first class ball club in the field. Foes made a-ood last year and there Is no reason to doubt that he cannot put as good a team out this year. Fred Qaas, temporary secretary ef tfe City league, is going to tax a band at umpiring this aeason. Oaas was one ef the unfortunate ones to ba badly hurt last season, breaking his right arm, so be has decided to retire and "call tbem for the boys this year. - The "blind squad.' consisting ef "--; eral of our well known umpires, vucb as Ed Bankln.

Representatives of the various sport ing goods houses may be seen these George Henselman, representing Hon- eyman Hardware, may be seen around getting acquainted with the bushers. George is new in our midst, but be is easy to get acquainted with. He was around seeking news of the City league last week.

The two west side Institutions will send their basketball tnams together in the Washington high school gymnasium Tuesday afternoon in the annual hoop contest, and anything la liable to hap pen. The RailEplitters surprised the fol lowers of the Portland Public High School league by defeating Franklin high l&et month, and next Tuesday's clash will be the eccond appeearance of the Ltnoolniles during the 1921-22 cam paign. Jefferson handed the Stenographers a terrible setback last week, bat that does not mean that Commerce won't bo there fighting to score a victory over the old rivals. Coach Baldwin is handicapped considerably, inasmuch as Commerce does not possess a gymnasium, and it is necessary for his proteges to workout on various courts. Ability to hit the basket seemed one of the faults exhib ited against Jefferson high last Ruea-day. JEFFS TO FLAT TECH Jefferson remains at the top of the league at present, but on Wednesday the High Schoolers will have their hands full tryinit to eliminate the Benson Tech representatives. Benson lost to James John High last Wednesday just at the time that Benson had figured on going a steo higher in the league race, espe cially after having trimmed Wastung- ton high. Coach Craig's main cog, Leon- ard Barbur. is out of the game, and will be perhaps for the remainder or tne I son. having been badly mjurea in an automobile accident almost two weeks asro. Aa a result Benson Is crippled, and the boys are having a nam ume getting a working combination together, but they can always be depended on to bat on for all they are worth. The final game this week will be staged Thursday afternoon, when James John High meets Franklin High. The auakers have a new player who la very much talked about, both In Independent circles, as well as in the Portland Pub lic Hleh School league. His name IS Clair Sca.ll on. and what he did to Wash lngton HUh last Thursday Is history. He made 20 points out of the 30 regis tered by bis aide,- while Washington was able to garner 22.

Semi-Pros to Perfect 1922 Ball Plans ORGANIZATION of the City Baseball league last week, which provides Portland with two semi-pro circuits this coming season, should stimulate the In terest of the fans. Since the war semi- pro baseball has not prospered as It should owing to lack of proper organ ization. By forming smaller leagues and more of them, a bnlky organization is done away with and it Is hoped to form an association of leagues later on and se cure cooperation of all the leagues. This should prove to be to the advantage of good fast baseball, as there should be no unevenly matched games as there have been the last several years. Fast baseball should result from the formation of the City league, and al ready semi-pro managers are vying for the services of bush stars. The City league has four teams, three of them holdovers from last season's circuit, which furnished good baseball and were rated as the top notchers in local circles. They are : Nicolal Door, Woodlawn club. South Parkway. Kach of these clubs expects to put out a bet ter team than ever. South Parkway In particular, should be greatly strength ened as they will not restrict the per sonnel of the team to club members. as was the case last season. The new club In the field is the Brotherhood of Railway Clerks. Frits JosBe will be the manager, and with the excellent backing assured him, he ex pects to put a team in the field that will vie for state championship honors. The City league will hold a meeting at 521 Artisans building, Broadway and Oak street, at 7 :45 o'clock Monday night, when it Is hoped to complete the organ ization by the admittance of two or four more teams. Several clubs other than the original members have applied for admittance, but an invitation has been extended to all prospective man agers. Acting President Leon S. Jack son states that ths league membership has not yet been definitely decided and wishes to have all interested managers present. W. S. C. Football Players to Have Spring Training - .

Head Coach Welch will not re turn to the west this spring and In his absence Coach Applequist will handle the spring work. Under the plans In augurated, Coach Applequist will be in I communication with Welch all during the season. Captain-elect Ford Dunton Will assist. More than SO men are expected to turn out for the spring work. This will Include the freshman football squad, the varsity men. together with the like ly looking football material developed in Professor Frank W. Z Ink's physical education classes.

It is interesting to know that the large-sized and heavier mitts have been gradually given up for the lighter and smaller protections, and where only a few years ago there was but one small sized mitt used to ten of the larger ones now the mitts are about even or perhaps a little in favor of the smaller size.
