O'Brien signs Umpire Owens.

President Joseph O'Brien OF the Ameri-
can association announced this afternoon
that he had signed Umpire owens of Kan
sas City to officiate during the coming
season at American association games.
owens umpired about fifteen games OF
the National league last season and his
work was considered highly satisfactory.
He originally came from the American
association and there was no idea that he
would not stay with the National league.
When President Pulliam was Informed
that President O'Brien had signed Owens
he was very much surprised, and stated
that he was under the impression that
the latter had signified his intention to
remain in the National. league as he was
perfectly satisfied with the terms offered
by the league, but If he thought he could
better himself by going to the American
association he would not throw the least
obstacle in his way.
President O'Brien stated that he had con-
sidered Owens as a free agent In the mat
ter and If he had thought the man was
bound by a contract to the National league
or In any way obligated to remain in it
he would under. no circumstances have
made him an offer, as 1t was not his
policy to be antagonistic.

Schedules Will Wait.

The schedule committee Of the National

here today as expected. but will probably
meet in Cleveland in about ten days.
The reason for the change is that Pres
ident Johnson misunderstood the orders
of the two leagues regarding this meeting
which were issued at New York and did
not bring his schedule committee with him.
Many leading base ball men are here,
including President Carson of the Central
league, O'Brien of the American a~ssocia-

President Hermann reported that the
actual cost of maintaining the commission
during the year was 5000. Mr.. Hartmann
also touched lightly uron the ticket scalp
ing cases in Chicago and stated that a new
method Of selling tickets must be made.
The alleged ticket scalping during the
worlds series games in Chicago was dis
cussed by Mr.. Hermann as follows;
LAS in the past, the series as played
was of the highest standard and met with
the approval Of the base ball public, the
only unfortunate thing being the manner
in which the sale Of tickets was handled
in Chicago. On investigating this matter
| enough evidence was submitted to show
| conclusively that a change must be made
in the future to protect the public. with
that end in view the commission will here

with his yacht Erin, asks that formal
announcement be made that he will
try again for the American cup and
will forward his challenge in August
next for a series of races under the
rules with a 90-foot boat.
The challenge will of course, be
intended to cover a series of races
under American rules" he said. Il do
not ask for English rules, but there is
no sense in cup rules made a half
century ago.
Let it be understood l have no COM
plant to make of past treatment. The
best boat has always won. The reason
for my persistence is that l want the
cup. In these further attempts l will
give good sport, even if l lose again.
/ do not think the New York Yacht
club will deny another contest for the
cup under the conditions 1 have
named.
THE races will be held a year from

further try. If Americans will race on
fair terms they may have it. My de-
signers are working on plans for my

Biz "Chief'' Myers of the Giants,
Who is A Wonder With the Bat.

If his early work this spring can be
taken as a criterion, Myers, the Indian
catcher of the New York Nationals, is
due for great season, both behind the
bat and with the stick. Big CHER is
credited with rapping out % home runs
during the spring the spring training
trip of the Giants Most of these were
made by lifting the ball over the fences
of small baseball parks in the south.
In the Yale-NeW York game on April
10 Myers made two hOmers. Myers
real name leaked out recently. The big
Indian had kept it secret ever since he
went into professional baseball. While
the Giants were in Richmond, Va, re-
Gently the players were told of ting
name under which Myers matriculated.
When the Indian appeared on the scene
some one surprised Myers by calling
him Chief Tories" The Indian smiled
and said: well, I guess you fellows
have got me with the goods. That is
my real name" Myers is a graduate
of Dartmouth university and was with
the ST. Paul club in the American as
ISOLATION last season.

Middleton Quits Football.

MOSCOW, Idaho, April 20.-When
John r. Middleton was seen this morn
ing relative to the report given out by
Captain Leigh Savidge that he would
again be the coach in football at the
University of Idaho this fall he said
DIR. Mclean came to me Saturday
and offered the place to me again for
the coming year, but l told him that
could not do the coaching together
with my work in the Moscow state
bank If they could give me something
else in the university beside the foot
ball work that would be a good thing
for me and make it worth while to
quit the bank, l would coach. AS there
was nothing of that nature open, l will
not be coach again. My work in the
bank will take all my time, and l am
done with coaching"
The athletic board has a number of
applications from eastern men for the
place, and will try to find a man who
can handle all lines of athletics, and
thus make it so that the men will have
a trainer with them all the time.
Nissen will likely be retained, if
he cares to stay, as assistant coach.
The BOYS all like his work and he
seems to get on we'll all around.

game until the first of the ninth. when
the visitors succeeded in tieing the
score. Only through a timely three
Dagger by Cushman bringing in two
runs in the last of the ninth, was ad-
ditional innings made unnecessary, and
the fans went wild. Shubert made the
star fielding play Of the day, getting
an unaSsisted double to his credit.
With the score standing to at
the end of the first half of the ninth,
Dunbar for the college copied a hit
which proved good for two bags; Belt
and Perringer failed to make good at
first; and w Belt made the second
safety of the inning. Then, with two
men down, and two strikes called on
him, Cushman landed on the horsehide
and sent it kiting over right field for a

hits, but he managed to keep them
we'll scattered and only in the Sec

ting two runs. For the visitors Pitcher
Hurd put up good ball, but the Mis-
siOnaries went after him hard with

and punched several hits. He was
touched up altogether for eight The
work of Bassett w. Belt and Dunbar
with the willow was of the highest
order and for the Oregonians, Coleman
at short, and Word, catcher were
there when it came to connecting with

an exhibition of ball at short that was
equal to anything in the professional

MISSIONARIES TO
PROTEST ORA JAY
Local CoIIesians Claim That PendIe.
ton Lad Has Not the Carnegie
Credits to Enter College
Athletics.

Assuming that it was the intention
of the Pullman track management to
enter Ora Jay, formerly the all-round
star man of the Pendleton high school
track aggregation, in the coming field
meets and understanding that young
Jay had only eight units where II
are required, signed report was Sc
cured from Principal A G.. Hampton
to this effect. Jay entered Washington
State college last fall hut it appears
without sufficient units to warrant his
appearing in track under the latest
conference rules.
1t is claimed that the State college
authorities protest against this and
assert that Jay has 81 units to his
credit when only "a are required and
in addition has made up several more
since entering that institution.
In a letter received yesterday by
Manager Fletcher from Professor Car
penter, of the W. S. c.. the latter
states that Jay has not yet been de-
clared eligible to take part in athletics,
in spite of the reports to the con-
trary.
Information from Pendleton states
that Jay enlereu w. .. y. last Ie'i' oo'
not being able to make his way, came
home. and has worked all winter in
Pendleton, re-entering college at the
beginning of the second semester. Last
week he came home again, presumably
to clar up his standing, and Saturday
the registrar of the State college
came to Pendleton to look the matter
up. AS the matter stands, Jay will not
be allowed to compete for w. S. c.,
unless he can produce the necessary
- Carnegie units, and according to
Principal A. c. Hampton, they are not
on the books of Pendleton high school
against his name. His loss will be felt
greatly by the Pullman track team, as
he is unexcelled in the pole vault, the
high lump and the high hurdles.
