SHORT SPORT ITEMS.

The polo outlook in the Northwest for this season is decidedly unfavor, able. and it is unlikely that there will be any playing worthy of men ton. sherman F. tIall, for the com mittee of the Waverly club of Port land, Oregon, writes as follows: In the long tests of endurance it is claim ed that the heavy man can lose weight without being affected, while the slim swimmer, not having any reserve flesh, is weakened The slim man, however, has the advantage in the sprints.
 With the opening of the trout fish ing season in many sections, anglers up and down the coast pretty general. ly have been told by their various war dens that the prospects of good sport this season are encouraging. It is said that the artificial stocking of the streams has been able to more than hold its own against the drain made by the fishermen, and this condition appears to obtain in all of the Pacific coast states. Whether or not the un- usually heavy rains and snows which have visited the country this year will have any appreciable effect on the fishing remains to be seen.
