gies have returned from their base
ball tour of California. The team
failed to win game in the south and
while Jimmie Richardson is salts
fed with the work of his boys he
admits that the visit was too early
in the season for the Aggies to show
their real ability. Climatic condi-
tons make big difference in the
matter of getting a team into shape
in this section as a gainst fine wealth
er conditions that prevail in Califor-
mia. The varsity teams in California
have been working for some weeks
past and are right in the middle of
the season.
Bobby Vaughan. manager of the
Tacoma team in the International
League, is a real hustler. Bobby
does not believe in letting grass grow
under his feet and he has just re-
turned from visit to Los Angeles
and San Francisco. where he was sue
cessful in signing up several players.
That Bobby put it over" on other
managers of the International League
is evident from the fact that his visit
to Los Angeles got promising
young player away from Bob Brown,
manager of the Vancouver team. The
lad in question is young Comes, an
outfielder who already had a contract
in his pocket from Brown when Bob
by hit the southern cafeteria town"
Vaughan had personal talk with
Gomez and it did not take more than
five minutes argument to convince
Gomez that Tacoma and not Vancou-
yer was the team the infielder should
sign with. Bobby Immediately pro-
duced a contract and the south Cali
fornia boy put his name to the sheet.
McCreedie of Portland also figures
Gomez as a good prospect and was
trying to arrange to get the lad.
! Vaughan looks on Gomez as one
of the real finds he has made this
season. The lad covers any position
in the outer garden in great style and
is also particularly handy with the
bat. Several leagues were after the
services of the boy and he showed
Vaughan contracts from the Peoria.
ILL.,. as well as from Vancouver and
another from the Arizona League.
Another boy that Vaughan signed
up is Peppin. an infielder from the
Phoenix, Arizona, league team. Pep
pin is also considered by Vaughan as
conner who should give the North
west ball fans something to get "het
up" about when the International
season open.
While in San Francisco Vaughan
made arrangements with Charlie Ora
HON of the Seals and other Coast
League managers to supply his team
with two good pitchers. Bobby fig
ures that his team is now pretty we'll
fixed with the exception of few
pitchers.
Pete Stanbridge, of the Calgary.
Canada, team is now in San Francis
co angling for few men to strength
en- up his team and other Northwest
managers are figuring on coming here
to recruit players after the Interna-
tional League meeting.
Palo Alto. Cal. March 25.-Var-
sity oarsmen are deeply regretting
the fact that the University of Wash
ington oarsmen will not be contend
gatta at Oakland, April II. Both
California and Stanford crews are
starting to show up in good shape for
the race but neither Coach Rogers of
Stanford or Coach Wallis of Califor-
MIA have yet been able to come to a
definite decision on who will form
the crews for the big race. Wallis
has definitely decided that Larsen
will be the stroke oar of the Califor-
MIA boat and Rogers has put Stein
bach in teh stroke slide.
Seattle, Wash, March 25.-Uni-
versity of Washington students have
