University Defeats
Cherawa Second Time

Eugene, Or, March 2S.-By nipping
one of Chip Tuerck' IS groove balls in
the bud with the bases full, R. Adams,
shortstop for Chemawa, poked out
clean threebase hit and made four bases
on it when Grebe failed to throw the
ball in from second after catching it on
the relay, and made possible the close
score of seven to six in favor of Ore
gon yesterday afternoon. Beckett re-
lieved Tuerck in the fifth and held the
Reds to two runs for the balance Of the
game.
Yesterdays game was much better
than on the previous day from spec.
tator's standpoint as the Oregon bat.
tcrs did not find Elk, pitcher for Che
mawa, as easy as they did Adams the
day previously and long hits were not
so plentiful, Oregon did not get going
and with the bases full twice, did not
get their signals Strengthened out in
time to clean the bases.
Morris Bigbee secured the only home
run of the day on long tdrive while
most of the drives were received by
the Indian outfielders who proved
death on them.

Mexico City Seems Certain

Washington, March 30-The situation
in Mexico became increasingly alarming
today. In addition to the tense stu.

lives and property are threatened, and
the alarm created by the news that the
Carranzistas seem certain to recapture
Mexico City within two days, it was re.
ported that the railroad line from the

Although refraining from taking
sides in the renewed activities in Mex.

anxious as a result as the evident grow

The latest development in the rela.

COAST LEAGUE OPENS
WITH BLARf OF BRASS
Each Manager Claims He Has
Corraled Championship
Aggregation
San Francisco, March 3O.-They r,

San Francisco, March 30.-They re
off m the Pacific Coast League.
The opening gun in the 1915 baseball
season was fired today in three of the
larger cities west of the Rockies when
the Coast League, one of the larger
minor league organizations, got under
way. San Francisco, Los Angeles and
Salt Lake were the cities where Hot
Stove Leagues were disbanded and the
fans came into their own.
Here s the way they lined up: Oak
land at San Francisco; Portland at Los
| Angeles; Vernon at Salt Lake. The
usual ceremonies, including brass bands,
parades and speeches, preceded the
games. And then the fans and fan.
cites settled down, so far as the Pa
cific Coast is concerned, to eight
months of baseball.
The same old brand of predictions
were voiced by the managers of the
several clubs.
"Every man on my team is cham
pion," said "Happy" Hogan, manager
of the Vernon Tigers, "and I can t
see how they can keep us from annex
ing the pennant"
The five other managers in the
league were to the front with similar
statements, but unbiased experts have
declared the San Francisco club to be
the greatest aggregation Of players
ever assembled in a minor league
This team was constructed by Harry
Wolverton, former manager of the
New York Highlanders. Portland and
Los Angeles also loom up as contenders.
Several changes have occurred in the
Pacific Coast League since the close
of the 1914 season. Cal Ewing and
Frank Ish, two of the best known base
ball men in the country, disposed of
their holdings in the San Francisco
club to Henry Berry, formerly owner of
the Los Angeles club. Berry disposed
Of his interests in the Los Angeles
club to John Powers, son of Alderman
Powers of Chicago. After several dis
astrous seasons, the Sacramento fran.
chise was sold to Salt Lake, one Of the
best baseball cities in the west. Cliff

DISTRICT 70 HAULS
GRAVEL At LOW PRICES
Supervisor KapIinger Makes
Favorable Contract With
Salem Transfers

According TO the reports of road
supervisors of this county which havo
reached the office Of County Clerk
Max Gehlhar, W. +, Kaplinger Of Dis
trict No, 20 Just south Of Salem, has
placed gravel on the roads nt the low
cst price. Mr.. Kaplinger pays So ccnta
per cubic yard for gravel hauled fiv0
miles and $lOO for gravel hauled six
miles. The gravel is loaded at tho
bunkers in this city and there is no
charge for loading, Che So cents for tho
fiyo mile haul is the total price for
placing the gravel on tho roads ex.
elusive Of the first cost of the gravel.
II is hauled on contract by eity
teamstors who have two yard Gravel
beds and who make $500 per day for
wages, None Of the residents Of tho
district nre hauling as they we're un-
able to compete with the city teamsters
at these prices.
Five years ago this same district
paid zoe for five mile haul for tho
hauling alone. At that time also
gravel cost So cents per yard with an
extra charge Of 10 cents per yard for
loading. Gravel at the bunkers now
costs the district 10 cents per ward
At iho rate now being paid by Mr.
haplinger the gravel road is costing
the district about $500 per mile. MosE
of the Marion county roads are gravel
roads but In no other district is gravel
hauled the same distance at such a low
cost.

gineer to succeed Major Bowlby, Mr.
Cantine was placed in nomination by
Governor Withycombe and State Treat.

The newly elected engineer will as
sumo his duties as soon MS practicable
for him to do so and will have charge
of all plans and specifications for new

luton was unanimously adopted under
the terms of which Major Bowlby will
be retained under salary by the state
to finish up the Columbia highway

county and act in behalf of Columbia,
Clatsop and jackson counties in the
adjustment Of all differences between
the counties and the contractors arising
out of the claims Of the contractors for
an excess in the cost Of road "cnstruc.
tiOn in these counties over tha state
engineers estimates.
This latter action was taken by the
commission for the reason that j. wl3
not deemed fair or just to the incoming
highway engineer to inhcrit and assume
the responsibilities created by his pre-
decessor and because Of the fact that
Major Bowlby is familiar with all OF
the facts and details connected WITH
the original estimates and the con
tractors claims he would be in bct'er
position TO arbtratc the differences and
protect the counties in the event of
threatened lawsuits. Hope was also cX.

begun and finished under favorable

TO Be TESTED
IN THE COURTS

Washington, March 25.-Prepara-
tons have been made for considera-
ton by the supreme court shortly at
ter the Easter recess of litigation in
volving the constitutionality and inter-
pretationof the Webb-Kenyon liquor
law, enacted by congress in 1918.
The "drys" contended that the Webb
Kenyon law has withdrawn from in
terstate shipments of Intoxicating
liquor consigned to local option terri
tory the protection previously offered
such shipments by the commerce
clause in the federal constitution.
The "wets" declare the law was
merely aimed at "bootlegging," and
does not withdraw the commerce
clause protection from interstate ship
ments designed for personal use.
