NEW TRACK MATERIAL
SPRINGS BIG SURPRISE


hustle to make good in their events
Especially is this true in the dashe.
and pole vault. Lowery, who did no
try out last year, seems to have tn,
making of a fast man and will helI
make the dash one of our strong
events. Calhoun and Boone will be
heard from in the pole vault before the
season is over. Boone has been seer
in action here at our interscholastiC
meets and this year is showing better
form than ever before. The shotput
was won by Mead. who shows great
promise in this event. Geo. Hardy
was close second, being only one
tenth of foot behind.
In the final event of the day, the
Juniors won the class relay after very
close and exciting race. Practically

they did this year. The members of
the winning team were Hedger, Nissen,
Kembel and McCroksey, all of whom
will try out for the track team.
The distance men have not yet had
an opportunity to work out. Running
inside does more harm than good for
distance men, but commencing this
week the whole squad will be given
long outdoor walks and this will help
round the distance men into shape and

remnants were presented to first
place winners in each event. These

BAS[AbALl SEASON
OPENS At THE COLLEGE

! VI kUV ~ tHb6 VV6bh@k
The baseball season was formally
opened last Saturday evening by feed
given to last years varsity by Manag-
err Logan and Capt. Weller. "Slats'
has been hard at work on a schedule
and has arranged one of the best sched-
ules ever made for the baseball team.
The team will probably be taken to
Lewiston for an early work out during
spring vacation. Arrangements have
nearly been perfected for taking the
team on an extended trip through Ore
gon. playing Whitman, DAG. U. of
O., Willamette and Multnomah Ath-
letic Club.
The following is the prospective
schedule:
April 2 and 3-Lewiston Normal at
Lewiston.
April 4-Butte League at Lewiston.
April 11-Blair, in Pullman.
April 17-Spokane League, Pullman.
April 25-U. of l., Pullman.
April 28-Gonzaga College, in Spo-
kane.
April 29-Blair, Spokane.
April 90-Spokane High, Spokane.
May s. Whitman. at Pullman.
May II, IL, 13-U. of W.. at Pull
man.
May 16-U. off,. at Moscow.
May %, 23-Whitman, at Walla
Walla.
May 29-University of Montana, at
Pullman.
May 30-U. of l., at Moscow.
The Oregon trip will be made the
latter part of May, playing Whitman
on the same trip. The Oregon dates
are not definitely set as yet, but will
determine the championship of Oregon.
Prospects for a winning team were
never brighter than they are at the
present time. All of last year s varsity
are back with the exception of "Slim"
CARED and "Pat" Crane, and there
is any amount of new material to pick
from. Among the most promising are
Triplett, of the championship team of
1906, who was rated as one of the best
second basemen in Northwest collegiate
ball. For the receiving end of the
battery, Thompson and Fullerton need
no introduction. Shanafelt is also try
ing out for the catcher position. Last
years trio of pitchers. Hahn. Dalquist
and McCully, are all working out their
arms and expect to be better than ever.
The new men trying for the pitch
ing staff are Patton, from Spokane Hi,
Dickson and Siemens, from Ritzville
Hi. The infeld will be picked from
the following candidates: Ex-Capt.
Brown, Jones. Buck, Triplett, Knight,
Root, Calhoun, Foran and Smith. The
outfeld will be taken care of by Capt.
Weller and Heine Meyer. Skeels,
Buck, Cave, Nissen and Knight, are
all trying for outfield positions.
Last years team had the reputation
of being the hardest hitting college
team in the Northwest, and under the
coaching of Johnnie Bender will clout
the ball harder than ever. Taken all
around, this years team has the ear
marks of the fastest team ever turned
out. They are all anxious to get out
doors, but it will be some time before
they can get on the field.
This is a subject that should be
taken up by the athletic association al
once. Some plan should be devised
for draining the athletic field so the
teams can get to work earlier in the
spring. We have one of the best fields
in the Northwest but it is always late

PROVIDENCE COMES
 HERE THIS EVENING
We Are Again on Even Terms With That Bunch-ResuIts of
 Last Nights Games.

Our defeat of last night by Bridge port and win by Providence again places us on a tie with the Rhode Island city for the last resting place. Providence will come here tonight and we will settle that disputed ques- tion, as to who is to be left on the last round. This will be a bitter bat tie. Nick McGilvray dislikes the idea of having to fight the teams ahead ot him to get away from the tailend. He will make the endeavor of his life tc polish off the Brass City bunch to- night and he will find the locals pre- pared and ready for the fray. The lovers of polo will see two teams fighting as though they were seeking for the top of the ladder instead ot trying to get away from the bottom The local managers have warned the Waterbury poloists that a win to- night will be as good as winning the pennant and naturally the boys will be there with hammer and tongs pre- pared to do things to everybody in sight. There is to be no let up from the time the referee first blows his whistle and of course that means a game that may be characterized by some little rough spots.

HOLY CROSS TEAM DISBANDS.
Faculty Dismisses Jones for Running
 When Conditioned.

Worcester, Mass, Feb 25.-An- nouncement was officially made from the faculty at Holy Cross college yes terday that the track team must be disbanded at once and all future meets this season cancelled. Nc reason was given for this action and the faculty's decision was a crushing blow to the student body who ex- pected strong team to be developed by next year which would force the New England Intercollegiate asso ciation to admit Holy Cross into its membership.
 Last night, however a greater blow to athletics was handed the student body by the action of Rev Thomas D. Murphy, president of the college, or dering the immediate dismissal from the college of George w. Jones, the star Holy Cross quarterback, runner and all round athlete. He is one of the crack athletes of the college. The faculty say that in spite of tue strict warning not to run because of con tlitiOn in a study, he participated in the Naval Battalion meet at Hart ford on Friday. He ran in the mile, crossed the tape first but was dis qualified for fouling Prentiss of Tufts His summary dismissal was wholly unexpected.
 In addition. Charles Flynn, mana ger of the track team. has been re- moved also by order of the president of the college. The track team will be re-organized.

PLAYERS RECORDS.

Hart made a gain on Jason last week and now leads him by eighteen goals, against eleven last week. The Springfield rusher is going very fast for man in losing team. Lincoln is under the weather, but continues to play, and is holding his own in goal getting and still leads by wide margin in taking rushes. Jason is second in rush taking, as he is in goal making, and is gaining a little on Lincoln. Pence has joined the ranks of goal makers, the Pawtucket goal tend having scored one goal, cag- ing the ball on clean drive the en- tire length of the floor. Pierce also broke into the select circle of foul makers last week, mourning his first penalty of the season Saturday night
 Harper jumped in the front in goal tending last week, supplanting Nal lory and leading him by two points. Sutherland shows the effects of hay- ing a weak defense in front of him and dropped to fifth place. The aver ages:

SQUARES IN PARIS.

Bill Squires, the Australian, who was an easy mark for Burns, Jack Uwin) Sullivan and others in Cali fornia, has bobbed up in Paris, France. Squires left Frisco about six weeks ago, saying he intended to visit New York and Philadelphia, but since then no word has been re- ceived from him. The inference is that he quietly slipped into New York and sailed for Europe incog- nito. Squires evidently has received a tip that the French sporting public just at present will fall for any kind of a glove fight and that there is big coin in sight even for second and third raters. Sam McEey, an Ameri- can negro heavyweight, is all the rage in Paris just at present, and it may be that Squires will get on a match with him. Although Squires has not won fight since he left Australia q year ago, he has cleaned up $25,000, it is said, in the losers end of various bottles. Ring followers say that he is the champion quince of the world

POLO NOTES.
Providence here tonight.

Providence here tonight. That will be battle royal for fair.
 Pretty near time for the hard losers down New Haven way to get in their little squeal Red Rorty is sustained, hurrah for Red and for his brave defenders. But the inconsistency and foolish moves of the magnates must make even Rorty laugh.
 Mrs Warner amused the western fans hugely, when polo first had It's run out there. She got SO excited she used to call out to her Frankie: "Dearie," Sweetheart" Don't get hurt'
 Bridgeport a tie with New Haven Springfield close up and the tailend. CTS beating the Boneites whenever they meet them, is not conducive to any choice language from those who conduct the destinies of the New Ha- ven team.
 The battle tonight in this city be- tween the two teams that are holding down last place should be one of the hardest fought of any yet seen in thig city. There should be things doing a plenty down in Eagles hall when they get going.
 It is quite a contrast between Mrs Fred Jean and Mrs Ramon at polo game and Mrs Frankie Warner. Mrs Jean and Mrs Ramon are as still aE the proverbial church mouse. but Mrs Warmers voice could always be aingi- cd out when she attended local game.

 to 3.-After a Slashing Game.

England and Ireland met for the thirty-second annual match at Rugby football about two weeks ago at Rieh- mond In the presence of 20.000 spec tators. After the close scratch Eng. land gave Wales the EugIishmen were favorites. especially as the Irish fifteen had seven untried men on if Ireland won the toss and played with the breeze. The Irish forwards did good work. but the passing Of the backs was poor and they made miser- able fumbles. England had the best of the score at half time, the figures being points to c

Jim Stewart. of Brooklyn, knock ed out Frank White, of Philadelphia, in the second round of their fight at the Consolidated A. C., New York, last night, with a short right hook to the jaw.

 In the other bouts Harry Johnson drew with Billy Smith. Eddie Smith beat Jack Sullivan, Griff Jones de- feated Gene Cooper, and Irish Paddy drew with Fred Dipples.
