WIIXIAMS President Pacific Coant League "Written exclusively for NKA Service TJASEI3ALL on the Pacific cn .t lnt season experienced the br; gest year in its history, is on tie threshold of another race rich in pos sibilities'. It will be found that the league con tains more color in its plnyiujc ft'-r-aonnel, particularly in Portland and Seattle, while baseball critics nre of the opinion that greater plnyi: : h Bible, will he, seen. Of course it would be difficult 10 improve on the leaftue in the latter respect ns it will bo recalled th.it five clubs bad a chance for the cham pionship last season up to the final week of the neason. k ,r rl,,lu. Hint ir i.-t . every club in the running from stdrt j! to finish, never has been known. Jint Iff . after last year when only three clnJts ;ji were counted out, and these not until M'l the season had only about a mcith j i more to run, one inclines to the be- C'r.f lief that nothing is impossible in base ball and contemplates the possibilities With something akin to awe. Last year the league played t' 2,J.'16,519 paid admission, which wnw a gain over the preceding year of 490.081. The attendance was almost equal to the combined population nf the eight cities comprising the circuit. These figures attracted nation-wide attention, and the Pacific Coast Leag ue ReniH now to be quite generally regarded as tho most powerful base ball circuit in the country oiitsid the majors. Jn the event that last season's attendance achievements arc surpassed the coast will ugain claim the country's attention. This year there will he the nddH stimulus of the post-season wrifM for the Minor League championship which will be played in tho fall. Such o series has been discussed for many jjears, but did not becomea reality -..'N until recently when a five-year agree ment was signed with the . American association. '.'''.4' The International Lengueolso has , , been Invited to become a party to this ig agreement. Such a series of enst vs Kit west not only has n considerable ' jj monetary value to the players but will "' , do much to promote sectional pride ml enthusiasm.- I HaHobnll continues to be the com.- i ' '; try's leading competitive sport. For i! years much pessimism haH been peii- ' 1 itpd pertaining to its future. Hut all 4'y'l' this proved to, be merely Hounding V1 ; i brass. f i? ! First, the automobile was to re j duce baseball to a secondary attrac ts "tion; then golf was to give it tho .J: ( coup de grace. But neither of these 1 has hurt baseball in the least. In reality nwball not only has Ir.utNita own In point of public inter- t - 3t. btht has tremendously inerense.l ( jv.t rlmt infterest.

This picture shows the Paolfio Coast League umpl.es getting their soring training at the office of Harry A. Williams, league president. We cannot ' say whether they practice dodging soda bottles and no hearlna bad names, but Williams made each arbiter study religiously the little book, "How to Umpire," written by Billy Evans, veteran American League umpire, and sports writer for this news paper.

The Aggies failed to get their track in shape as soon as expected and they asked to be permitted to relinquish the right of staging the meet. Ore gon held it hiKt year.

Nineteen athletes accompanied by Bill I lay ward, coach, .and Jack Henefiel, graduate manager, will leave Kugene Wednesday noon for the sunny south. Oregon looks awfully good on pa per, mainly because Stunford. in win ning its meet with Nebraska Satur day, 80 2-3 to 50 1-3. did not have to exert Itself, and consequently did not make as good as showing as expected. Also a heavy downpour made the track slow,- and hampered both Ne braska and Stanford. If the Orcgouians, however, bo early in the season, make as good a showing as Nebraska did. the Kugene fans will be satisfied that Hill liny ward again has a bunch of real con tenders. Last year Oregon won 'the Pacific coast conference meet. Jlolt, star sprinter, will be unable to participate for tho Webfootors.

This inter- Warfare Declared By Berlin Actors BERLIN, April 7 (OP)) A group of about 100 prominent actors and singers of the Berlin stage have signed an agreement not to enter into contract with any theater whose management adheres to a plan re cently framed by the managerial as soaation, which divides all actors and singers into four categories and stipulates the maximum salary which those in each category Bhall receive. Stage folk say they will not be ar bitrarily branded as first, second, third and fourth class, according to the whim of managers, and insist that it is an insult to the profession to try to rob actors of all individuality and herd them together as If they were merchandise. When the managers announced their new plan they explained that many artists were demanding Buch high salaries it was impossible for them to meet their terms without in creasing the price of seats to a point where tbe public would refuse to pay.
