that if the University of California should make I showing in any of the coast events that an invitation to par ticipate in the intercollegiate regatta was forthcoming, it. would be ac- cepted.
 California, he believed had a real chance this year to win as they had just received two new shells from the east and had completed improvements in the boat house on the Oakland Estury which would make it possible for the crew to get more and better practice than had been possible be- fore.
 The regular Pacific coast regatta will be held on Lake Washington, Se- attle, April s. between Stanford and the University of Washington. There will ne another regatta April = on the Oakland Estury in which Cali forhia, Stanword and possibly Wash ington will participate and Stanford and washington will meet again on Oakland Estury May 15 or 20.

 For q number of years" said MT. Shaughnessy, we have had to put up Wit!l the arbitrary methods of the big racing trust. and spend money in the manner in which they directed, and should Mir. Bullard make good his threats to black list our track. I am sure that all of the commissioners will receive the news with relief There is another big racing organi- zation, the International Motor Con- test Association, which can supply us with just as good racing spectaeles at the 3A. Neither will they be so domineering in their methods of doing business. We are at the present time spending something like $S000 per year for our auto races and most of it goes for two or three headliners whose performances on the track is not much better than many of the racers who are not so well known. It has always been the policy of the latter organization to freeze out all promising drivers who might become dangerous rivals to the few big fel- lows in the association. We believe that by encouraging some of the les ser lights in the racing world. we may be the means of discovering num- Der of new drivers who might, in time, unseat the present-day speed kings.
 "But the 3A cannot bluff us by their threats of withdrawing their sanction from our meets. We expect to go right ahead with our plans or holding all future meets whether the big fel- lows like it or not We can provide as good a racing card for 1916 as we have ever been able to give under the protection of the organization, and we expect to prove it next November

At present there are about 7O0 such rifle clubs organized in practically every state, and inquiries reach Washington by the dozens daily for information as to organiz- ing new clubs.
 The National Rifle Association is bending every effort to increase the number of clubs in the country and offers every encouragement for their formation. The organization of these clubs is regarded as a step in the di- rection of national defense.
 1 It is to be hoped that quite a num- Der of rifle clubs may be represented i by teams at the National Matches which have been recommended by the National Board for Promotion of Ri | fle Practice for Jacksonville. Fla beginning October 20 next. Score tary of War Garrison has not yet acted on the matter but it is highly probable that he will approve hold i ing matches this year. Riflemen throughout the country were pleased at the action of the board voting for annual matches instead of holding these competitions every other year At the recent meeting of the National Rifle Association the following off cers were elected for 1916:

SPORTING NEWS
COMMISSIONERS SAY WE SHOULD
 WORRY ABOUT C.PJRDY BU[LARD"
We should worry."

We should worrv."
 That, in substance, was the reply made Yesterday by Secretary Tom Shaughnessy, of the state fair con- mission, when asked what that body proposed to dc in regard to the threat of the local representative of the American Automobile Association to Blacklist the Phoenix track. The threat came on account of the com missions determination to feature home drivers in the auto races rather than invite the presence of the head liners iu the racing world
 Several days ago when it was an- nounced that the commission in charge of the racing. events proposed to eliminate the presence of the WOrld-famous drivers from local pro- grams on account of the latters' eX- rorbitant charges, George Purdy Bull lard. state representative of the A. A A. made statement through the columns oc the Republican that in case the commission adhered to it's determination to play local favorites instead of the top nOtchers who come unuef the protection or the 5A or sanitation, the track at the fair grounds would be permanently closed for further events in which 3A driv- CTS could participate
 Instead of becoming alarmed at the statements of Mir. Bullard, and fear ing that the policy of the 3A or ganiZation would queer the local speedway IS far as auto events were concerned, MT Shaughnessy stated that if the big racing association de- cided to place q tan on the Phoe- nix fair grounds. hereafter all rae ing events will be staged under the auspices of another big racing cir . cult which is at present pulling off some of the biggest and best races

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-The inter collegiate regatta which has been held for many years on the Hudson river at Poughkeepsie, probably will be row ed this year on Cayuga Lake at Itha- ca N. r.. it was announced there to- day after a meeting of the stewards of the Intercollegiate Rowing Association. The tentative date fixed was June 2i and tt was proposed that the race be ever a course three and one quar- ter miles instead of four miles as at Poughkeepsie.
 The chief reason for the proposed change was said to be the refusal of the New York Central railroad company to run an observation train for spectators either on June 90 or July l.
 Cornell met Harvard in two mile race on Cayuga Lake last year and the Cambridge. eight was victorious. Since that time Cornell rowing en- thusiasts have been urging that the chief intercollegiate event be held at Ithaca.
 
 covered by the oarsmen be shortened has been favored by Coach Courtney of Cornell and Coach Rice of Columbia also has admitted that a change might be advisable. A race of three and d quarter miles would be in the nature of a compromise.
 Incidentally it was pointed out to- night June 2i is the date set for the Iale-Harvard regatta at New London, Conn. =
 The proposal to take the intercol- legiate race from Poughkeepsie to Cayuga Lake, according to rowing en- thusiasts. is in keeping with general movement under discussion for some time to remove all college regattas from so-called neutral courses and lring them nearer the home of citi- ies of at least one Of the colleges par tlcipating.
 For the forthcoming regatta Le- land Stanford is the only Pacific coast institution thus far invited, it was said tonight. The intercollegiate regatta on the Pacific coast is to be held at Oakland, Cal. in April and in the event of Leland Stanford's defeat, the Winne. either the University of Cali fornia or Washington will be invited to participate in the eastern regatta in June.

 It might be known that Coach Os- borne has shifted his lineup in a way that cannot be surpassed. Heflin, the boy with the million dollar arm, will tWirl the horse hide covered snow flake for the Coyotes. If Dick pitches ball like he has in the past, Glendale won't have look in. He is due to pitch Q hittless game today. The Co., votes have in their lineup today the fastest aggregation of ball tossers that have ever appeared in r. H. $. unies.
 On the other hand we must not over look the fact that Glendale has a base ball team also. Yes, in fact it is quite a team. They have played two games so far this season and won them both Their average is thousand per cent, having heat Tempe and Mesa by good score Their team is composed of some mighty fast material and when Coach Morgan brings his tribe of Sugar Kings to Phoenix this afternoon. it Wil be to play in a hard fought game and try to place P. H. s. on their list of defeats.
 In order to stir up a little more spirit among the ball players of both teams, Pinney & Robinson have offered to give the player knocking the first three bagger. his choice of any bat in their store.
 This will be the first home game and a large crowd of rooters will be on hand to boost. Nho line ups for todaNs battle.
