A. W. Clement. Of Talent. the Victim or
California Sharks.
MEDFoRp, Or, March 12.-(Special. i
Considerable anxiety is felt by the family
of A. w. Clement. of Talent, this county,
as to his whereabouts. He left his home
about a month ago to go to Oakland, CAL,
to consult a physician for cancer of the
mouth. About a week later his wife re-
ceived letter which purported to have
been dictated by him, giving his
address as No. 162 Eleventh street, Oak
land. and saying that he was receiving
medical treatment. Nothing further has
been heard from him. and when a message
of inquiry was sent today to the address
given above, the answer stated that no
such number existed on the street men
toned, and no knowledge of the missing
man could be obtained. It is feared by
his friends here that he has been the vic
tim of confidence sharks.
His stepson. w. p. II. Legate, Of this
city. will leave for Oakland tomorrow to
make an investigation. A. w. Clement
has lived in Jackson county for over
twenty years and has host of friends and
many relatives living in this city. He is q
well-to-do farmer and has done very little
travelling. which leads his friends to be-
lieve that he has been victimizcd.

Good Work Accomplished In the Physi-

Good Work Accomplished In tho Physi-
cal Training Department.
The athletic department OF the local
branch of the Young Mems Christian
Association is doing an excellent work
among the young men and boys of the
city. There is finely equipped gym
nasium with regular class work under the
direction of competent instructor.
During the winter Prof T. 8. Lippy, tho
instructor, has had from two to four
classes every day, with an average daily
attendance of fifty. These classes will be
kept up steadily until the first of July.
One of the most important is the business
mems class, which has instruction on
Monday, Wednesday and Friday after
moons from to 6 o'clock.
In addition to work on the regular gym
nasium apparatus the members take part
in several indoor games. the most popular
Of which are hand-ball and Lang ball.
The latter game takes its name from the
inventor. who is a Y. NJ. C. A. man of st.
Louis, and is an adaptation of indoor base
ball. A small-sized diamond is chalked
off on the floor. The ball used is
inches in diameter. At the place for the

meath the bar. holding to it by his hands,
which are raised above his head. When
the ball is pitched to him he lifts himself
from the ground by the bar and kicks the
ball. The rest OF the proceedings are SINH
lar to those in baseball.
A bicycle club Of association members
was organized few weeks ago and has
already a considerable membership. The
members propose for the present to make
run every Saturday afternoon. A
new feature to be introduced will
be weekly athletic entertainments to
be given every "Wednesday night in

Cisy-The Athletic Questisa - she
state Univsrsity.

Within few weeks the fourth season Of
professional baseball in the Pacific North.
west will open. This fact was settled
during the past week by the incorporation
of the Pacific Athletic Association. under
whose direction the game will be carried
on this year. Three cities for . four-club
league are already fixed upon and the
addition of the fourth is only q
matter of the selection Of the most desirable
candidate. The lines upon which the
men who have effected the organization
propose to act is one of financial reform.
The leaders of the movement are some of
them Of considerable experience in base
men, and their management of affairs
ought to prove success.
The lesson of economy has been we'll
learned, and an avoidance of the errors of
former seasons will mean q saving of
thousands of dollars. The era Of reduced
salaries in baseball has set in and, of
course, will have its influence here as else
where. 1t is the intention not to
hire any high-salaried stars. but
to make judicious selections from the
big crop OF active young players
who are pushing their way to the front.
A salary limit of not more than 81 600 per
month will be established and adhered to.
The engagement of the managers of the
four clubs must be passed upon by the
board of trustees of the association In
order to insure wise selections. The man
ayers will choose their own teams under
the salary restrictions, but all contracts
must be submitted to the board Of trus-
tees.
1t is probable that the schedule will be
made shorter this year than in previous
seasons in order to avoid the rainy
weather as much as possible. 1t is proba-
bic that it will begin in the latter part of
April and close in the latter part of Sep
TENDER. There is some talk of a schedule
to begin on Wednesday. April 26, and end
on Sunday, September "a. With four
games a week this would give each club
eighty-four games, of which one-half would
be at home.
The competition for the fourth place in
the circuit seems to be between Victoria,
B. c., and Salem, Or, although Beiling-
ham bay is a possibility. Victoria seems
to be the favorite among the hackers of the
new association. although Salem has a
strong following. especially in Portlands
Victoria has many arguments in its favor,
being q wealthy town, we'll located, and
whose people give good support
to outdoor sport The only objection
urged is that it is out of the United States,
but it is not thought that this will pre-
vent a great display of interest in the
game. Toronto, London and Hamilton,
which are all Canadian cities. have sup
ported teams in the International League.
Salem is also . substantial town which
has done well by semi-professional base
ball. and its champions claim that the
rivalry between it and Portland is a strong
recommendation in its favor. The choice
will be made within the next two weeks.
