Six Straight Victories Win State Bane ball penant Other Teams of Val- ' ley Afraid of Aggregation. CHALLENGE IS ISSUED TO ANY SCHOOL TEAM T wirier Has Speed, Curves and Every thing Necessary to Puzzle Batter Players Exceptionally Clevor. The Hulem high school baseball team, having cnptured the stntu champion nhip, finds Itself in n most undcfli ruhlo situation. All of the high school touins of tho valley are afruitl of them and it scums impossible to schedule anoth er content with any team of their cluss. They have evou gonu m rur as to offer to play the University of Oregon or the Oregon Agricultural college, but these teams do not caro to take chances against the versatile nine thut repre sents tho local school. The record for tho season is six straight victories. The defeated high school tennis wero the best in their sec tions and consequently Sulem has tho state pennuut. Following is tho Ben Son's rcord: Hnlom U. S. 3, renitenrlary 0. Salem H. 8. 3, Columbia U 0. Snlom II. S. 9, Albany II. 8. 0. Halem II. 8. 10, Corvallis II. 8. 1. Hnlom II. 8. 2, Columbia LT. I. Salem II. 8. 7, Newberg II. 8. 2. Columbia university, the team that was twico defcatod by the local high school, is the champion of the Portland inter-scholastic league. Newberg high school, the last team that the local nine took into camp, is tho champion of tho west side, having defeated tall high schoois in that terri tory. , Albany and Corvallis, tip-volley tcums that wuru conquered, are cham pions of their respective counties, so that there is little territory where ac- - - 44444444 tual ball playing takes place that has not been directly conquered by the holders of tho state championship title. Hut becnuso there Is always some wrangling when any nigh school that docs not hnvo tho bucking of the sport ing puges of one or more of the Port land papers claiming a championship, the Halem high school U-nm challenging any high school team in the state that they huve not already plnyed and do rented, to schedule a contest with them. Nor are tho local boys satisfied with tho high school championship. They stand ready to meet any school team in the state, whether it bo college, univer sity, high school or technical school, so long as it is a team playing only men and attending an educational institu tion, If any of tho colleges desiro to play them, they desire to arrange a series of either three or five games so that there would be a fair and square chanco for the best toura to triumph. It is of course very improbable that any of the Colleges whr seo fit to ac cept the Halem school's challcngo, for us a mutter of fact tho team is of very exceptional caliber for a high school teuni.

It wni understood, however, that the Tiger manager will be off the bench for three days. He was not in uniform at yesterday's ' game. By Hal Sheridan. Now York, May 23. joe Levins, manager of Eddie McUoorty, says Aus tralia is the greatest sporting country in the world; that no other place has such genuine enthusiasm for pugilism and other sports, and that the natives think nothing of having 00,000 persons at a football or cricket match or a horse race. Levins has just returned from the Antipodes and is all "smoked up" ovor Sydney, Brisbane and Ade laide. "Take a boxer, for instanco," said Levins, "and his social position there is equal to that of "any other' profes sional man, American fighters are en tertained at the best Australian homes because thoy have amotion that boxers apd their managors nre human like anybody 'olse. "Everyone seems prosperous in Aus tralia, too. Thoy are good business men and eonduct their affairs on straight, open terms.' They certainly behove in enjoying life. When even ing comes even ordinary workmen don ovoning clothes. This looked odd to us at first, but wo soon got accustomed to it and did the sumo thing ourselves. "Snowy Hnker has a groat chain of boxing stadiums in the different cities of the country and they are run like a first-class vaudeville circuit. The fighters are all under contract and en gaged months in advance. The boxer has nothing to say about whom he will or will not fight. His opponents are selected by the promoters and that is as it should be. They treat the fight ers fairly, too. No matter how many timos he is defeated, the boxer roceives every dollar that his contract calls for. "Matt Wells was beaten three times in a row, but that made no difference with the Australians. They like a loser who fights well and will pungle up their eoin to see him work. "The big matches are usually held on Saturday, but they have Thursday afternoon matinees. In the matinees thoy have several boxing exhibitions ana tho Dig boxers who are matched go through their training stunts in the ring. "Australia is a great country, and American fighters who are. willing to pluy fair will do well there." PORTLAND TO BE ABANDONED TOR ONLY TWO SERIES Portland, Ore., May 23. That the Northwestern lenguo . would abandon Portland only for .tne two series in June instead of for the entire season was tho statement of Judgo McCredie, president of the Portland club, today. It was reported yestorday, and it was understood that Judge- McCredie had confirmed the report in full, that no moro Northwestern games would be seen in Portland in 1914. If only the Juno scries are transferred, the games scheduled with Spokane for tne week of June 15, and with Seattle the week of Juno 27 will be played on the home grounds of those teams. This will mean that Portland fans will not see either Seattle or Spokane in action this sea son. There was a persistent rumor la baseball circles toay that the action of the Northwestern league in transfer ring the June games scheduled for Portland, to Seattle and Spokane, was simply tho first step in a plan to leave the Colts homeless for the rest of the season, and that the league may aban don the town for good. NO FEDERALS TOR HIM. New York, May 83. Manager Joe Birmingham of the Cleveland Naps was indignant today over report that ho was preparing to jump o the Fed eral league. . - "There is absolutely no truth in the report," he said. "I have no inten tion of leaving the Cleveland club." POLO TEAM SAILS. Liverpool, Eng., May 23.

WILLAMETTE TJ. TRACK TEAM MEETS DEFEAT Judges Give Frost of P. TJ. Second and Third Place In 100-Yard Dash Axley Defeats Frost. The Willamette untversity track team was defeated by Pacific univer sity yesterday afternoon by the score of 72 to 48. Willamette's weakness in the weights and distances was respon sible for hor defeat. Hand bills which were scattered all over the town when the Willamette delegation arrived in Forest Grove yes terday announced that "the feature of the meet will be the 2ZV-yard dash be tween Small of Willamette and Frost of Pacific, who is expected to break a record." Small easily defeated Frost finishing a full four yards ahead of him. An interesting incident of the meet was the awarding of places in the 100 yard dash. Frost, the Pacific sprinter, had a brother entered in the event. The result of the race was: Small of Wil lumetto first, Axley of Willamotte sec ond and B. Frost of Pacific third. A mix-up among the judges of finish gave Axley no place at all. The iudue picking second gave that place to Frost and the judge picking third selectod tne same man. The clerk of course then credited one of the Frost brothers with second and tho other with third. Mills, the Willamette captain, called their attention to the mistake, but they refused to change it at the time. After they had won the meet, they then came ana ottered to make the chantre and give Axley tho place, but the Willam- etto men would not allow the change to be made then, as there was nothing to gain by changing the score, which would then have been 69 to 51. Another thing in connection with the meet which did not work in the Wil lamette boys' favor was the order in which Pacific had arranged the prog ram of events. The standard order was not followed in arranging any of the 1L npHAR ain't but' A two perfect comforts that I knows of a " good wife an' good to bacco.
