The baseball weather for the early iart of the season was cold and adverse to good -playing. Ray linker assures the fans that it will lie plenty, warm enough Sunday to suit even the most particular baseball bug. The grand stand will be handsomely decorated with electric fans and ice water will lie served between innings. Keene has been out practicing this week and says his flinginrr wing is in rare shape and Ade Sieberts will warm the bench in case Keene is obliged to leave the game early to keep an en gagement or something. The Montavilla aggregation is said to be going great guns at present and the team has boeu considerably strengthened since the early season. This will be the first, appearance of the Montnvillains at the league park and the Salem fans promise to be out in force to watch their antics. Montavilla will use either "Spud" .hirphv or "lilitzen'' Hrunns in the box wilh Johnny Newman behind the liar. Campion and Konutz are lined up for first buse with Oils Jessop on second. Priteliard will perform in the short patch and "Letter'.' Muck at third is said to compare, favorably with our own Wilson. Hryson, Hurst and Duncan form the outfield trio. Salem's first sacker, Jones, has a bad leg and it is possible he may lay off Sunday and let Sieberts play first base. Humphreys will cover second with Miller at short and Wilson third. In the outfield will be Semour, Adams, and Rcinhnrt, or Michel.

Cornell, Syr acuse and Columbia eights make ready the battle oars in the famous Pough- lieepsie regatta. These eastern eights breath more easily with the knowledge that l.elaud Stanford, the hooted at and derided that last year so nearly captured the victory, cannot be here. Thev certainlv were scared of little old LS, the crew tnnt had to travel miles and miles overland to get to water to train. They laughed at Stan ford last vear before the race. Th ailed the crew a buncn of dubs; said they splashed and sozzled pitifully that they didn't have a chance. Mavbe Stanford did splash and soz .e; perhaps the dub indictment was true; and maybe all the other unkind 1 lings the easterners said were so, but lawsnivluws, how tlint Stanford I'U in-ii could pull! True, I. eland was nosed out at the finish and the oarsmen had to sell their shell to get back to the golden west, but just the same, the easterners lo not overly regret their absence this year. 1 he l nlitornians lost the race to Cornell bv only 20 feet. The strenuous training of the las two weeks has not resulted in auv n predictions as to the .outcome of the varsity .our mile race which the great crowd of marine fans here is patiently awaiting. It' the favorites are to be poke. I bv their past pertorinn nces tins season it would appear that they are Cornell and Syracuse.

The varsity challenge cup race, for which the four powerful crews of Pennsyl vania. Cornell, Syracuse and Columbia have been training for a year, will be rowed at 11 p. in. Syracuse will he a heavy favorite. The Orange has power and balance, which the others lack. The Cornell eight, with tremendous power in the waist of the boat, is row ing its last race under the active guid ance of "Pop'' Courtney, which means that every man will row his heart out for the "old master," who i.s retiring this year. Pennsylvania and Columbia have powerful crews and either may slip through in the role of a dark horse, particularly the former boat which lowered a record for the course cnrlv the season. Tennis at Del Monte Pel Monte, Cal., June 17. Women's singles were first to lie competed in the annual tournament of the Pacific Coast Lawn Tennis association, open ing here today. Considerable interest was shown in the plaviug of Miss Clara Cassel of New York who met Miss Marjnrie Thorn of San Francisco in the preliminary round. Keen court work was anticipated in the match of Miss Helen linker, San Francisco champion, and Miss Anita Meyers. The men's singles for Hie coast, championship begins tomorrow. Among those entered are. William Johnston, national champion, "Peck" Ci riff in and Roland Roberts, another product of the (lolden date Park courts. Swimming Tank and Bath House for Salem Salem will soon have a swimming tank and bath house that will compare favorably with anything in the nnith west, according to Charles K. Denisnn. It will be located at the foot of Slate street adjoining Mr. Dennisou 's boat house. The tank will be 25 by 50 feet, w ith an average depth of five feel, al though it is so constructed tliat.it may be easily raised, bringing the depth of the water to three feet or any depth desired. Kighty-five dressing rooms will be provided, and 150 lockers. The bath house will be provided with all sanitary appliances and a shower bath, and all parts to be electrically lighted. One side will be exclusively for women and children and the other for men. In building and arranging the swim ming pool, Mr. Denison has had in view the fact that there will be a de mand for a safe place where women and children may bathe, and a place that will be of a high order in every respect. He expects to make it an ideal place for family and swimming parties. ART SMITH WILL RECOVER. Sapporo, Japan, June 17.

In spite of his brokeright leg, doctors believed he would be about again within one month. season does not give the dopsters any ironclad reason to pick the Ithacans a winner but shows that they can be expected to stage a spectacular and eveiu.nl race. The Cornell crew threw a jolt into Princeton several weeks ago on Lake Cayuga when it defeated who earlier in the season the Tigers won from Harvard. This race, in which Vale rowed too, upset all the .lope by reason of the fact Cornell, before the race with Princeton, was beaten bv Har vard. Columbia is an unknown ipiautity. Since Princeton defeated the New Yorkers at Philadelphia, Coach I'ice has made wholesale changes during tre stiff training here. The Penn crow also has been put through ihe pace. Clinch Wright toiled tirelessly to whip the often defealc.l tnnUew into shape to avoid criticism of his methods.

BOX HERE IN Bobby Evans Will Bring Billy Mascott Here for Smoker Later in Year Al Summers and Farmer Burns may appear as the lieadliner in a smoker during the Cherry Fair according to a letter which was received from Bob by Kvans today. Evans says he is en deavoring to arrange a 'good boxing card for a Cherry Fair attraction and that the light heavyweight bout be tween Summers and Burns should prove a good drawing card. Summers has been showing a marked improvement since hi appearand.1 in Salem last, winter. Since his return to Portland Al has won from some of the best boys in the game and won a well deserved decision over Valley Tranibitas. Evans will not use Billy Mascott, the holder to the bantamweight title for the coast, here at this time as Hilly is matched with Johnny Coulon, the former champion of the world, for July 4th in Portland, l-.vans is taking no hanccs on having Ins boxer hurt in a smoker in Salem on the eve or nis big chance at Coulon. While Coulon is no longer champion of the world he is no "has been'' by any means. Coulon lias never been hurt by any long finish fighls and his experience and cleverness is still evident in the ring as many ambitious scrappers can testify. The showing that Mascott makes against Coulon July 4th will fashion the future of the South Portland boxer. If Billy wins or gets a draw he will be in line to be matched with the top notchers in the game and Evans says he will show him in Salem later this yea r. Kvans has made no final arrange ments for the Salem smoker but it is probable that the full iiiinoiiiiceiucnt will be made within a few days. MILL CITY CELEBRATES.
