C. IS BEATEN BY PULLMAN Basketball Team From North Wins by Score of 2 7 to 15. OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL LEGE. Corvallls, Or., Feb. 10. (Special.) The basketball team representing Wash ington State College defeated the O. A. V. team here tonight by a score of 27 to 35. The W. S. C. players seemed to be in much better condition than their op ponents and this was largely responsible for their victory. The game was fast and the scoring very even in the first half, the score being 6 to 7 in favor of the visitors at the end of the half. Shortly after the intermission the O., A. C. player? seemed to tire and W. S. C. began to run up a safe margain of points. "Englehorn. the W. S.-C. center. Is one of the biggest men playing basketball in the Northwest and an exceedingly fast man. Dalquist was the particular star of the game. He scored 16 of the 27 points made by his, team.

That the boycott Instigated by this clty is not only continuing in strength but is also gradually spreading to unexpected fields cropped out today in the report that a movement was on foot to boy cott Seattle newspapers in this field, owing to the alleged unfair representation given the harbor during the present base ball controversy. It Is the contention that only news favorable to Dugdale and anti-Aberdeen movements secured space, while on the other hand the actions, statements and views of the situation from Aberdeen's standpoint were either misrepresented or else refused publication entirely. "PcrsonaJly I know nothing of the movement." said President-Manager Row land today, "but several have asked me BANTAMS BOX about it and I understand the field is being canvassed." "Why shouldn't we?", said a prominent department store man ftoday. "If they are not giving both aides of the question in our case, how do we know but that their news is equally unreliable in other cases ?' ' "It is possible that a boycott on Sound papers may be started," Baid Director Bowesof the Aberdeen club today. "While the club itself would probably not participate In such' an action if one is inaugurated. I believe it would be sup ported a by those who ' are now turning their trade to Portland. It seems reason able now that Portland papers reach Aberdeen as quickly as do those from the Sound." LANGFORJJ TAKES NEW MATCH Liberal Terms Granted for. Retnrn Engagement With ' Jim Flynn. L03 ANGELES'. Feb. . 10. (Special.) Just as the train was about to leave Arcade- station with Sam Langford for San Francisco this evening. Manager McCarey of the local fight club secured his signature to a set of articles calling for a 45-round return engagement here with Jim Flynn, to' be staged at Vernon the night of March 17. McCarey had been negotiating with Joe Woodman, manager for Langford. since yesterday morning, but until late this evening Woodman refused to come out of his grouch, occasioned by the decision SMALL FIGHTERS WHO WILL MEET IN LOS ANGELES INSTEAD OF PORTLAND. -1 ff Iff t 'f" Frankie Conley. against Langford Tuesday night and maintained that he never would fight in Los Angeles again. McCarey was determined to land the match, however, and finally offered such inducements to Langford that Woodman could not refuse and articles were signed a few moments before the train pulled out, the signatures being affixed while Woodman and Langford were sitting in their Pullman. The terms by which Mc Carey landed this battle were not made public tonight, but it Is understood that Langford gets a guarantee of more than tSOUO. with one-fourth interest In the moving pictures that will be made of the fight. Flynn gets a straight guarantee of $5000 and also shares one-fourth of the returns from tle moving pictures. odman said this afternoon, before signing the articles, that he was taking Langford to San. Francisco to fight Flynn for Louis Blot on March 17, but the McCarey offer proved too great a tempt ation. Langford and Woodman continued on their Joumoy to San Francisco and will go to Cheyenne to fight Nat Dewey on Washington's birthday., returning here immediately afterward. This gives McCarey two 40-roundV fights in the next five weeks, with the Conley Attell scrap as the other. SOCCER TEAMS ARE PREPARING Nationals Get Men With Reputations . to Strengthen Squad.

SALT LAKE- AGAIN HOPES FOP. FIGHT Saltair Beach Official After Conference Offers Wager on Outcome. RICKARD GAINS SUPPORT Proposal to Buy Gleason Out Is Formulated' by Utah Business Men Authorities Said to Be Secretly Willing. SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Feb. 10. (Special.) Salt Lake City's hopes of Monte Attell. retaining the Jeffries-Johnson fight are strong again. They have almost as many lives as a cat. Following Jack Gleason's departure for San Francisco, after a four days' conference with Tex Rickard, his part ner in promoting the bout, Rickard held a conference today with officials of the Saltair Beach resort, with whom has' a contract to stage the fight. What transpired is not known, but at its close one of the beach officials was quoted as saying that he was willing to wager $5000 that the fight would stay here. There' is no confirmation or de nial of this report- The business men of the city . and state rallied to Rickard's support to day; and tonight a proposal Is forming to buy Gleason out. The sum is not known. The proposal may be submit ted tomorrow to Gleason. The au thorities, their declarations to the con trary notwithstanding, will not inter fere, it is contended, and If Gleason does not accept the offer Utah's chances to keep the bout will not be affected. Rickard issued many bear stories while Gleason was here, but with Glea son gone he appears, as hopeful as ever and tonight he is credited by fight fans with a clever maneuver in his tales to outwit Gleason. NELSON IS LOSING WEIGHT Advisers Order Fighter to Stop Toss Ing Medicine Ball. SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 10. (Special.) A sudden falling off in weight of Battling Nelson has caused his advisers to order him to cut down the amount of work he does every afternoon in the gymnasium. The Battler is a willing boy when he gets into his gymnasium costume, and for that reason he has to be witched carefully After he had fin ished his work today his weight was discovered to be 134 pounds. This is altogether too close to the lightweight limit for so many days previous to the fight, and Manager Jack Robinson is sued orders forthwith that there was to be n more tossing the medicine ball and that the boxing was to be taken in easier fashion. It is possible that the Battler is tak ing a leaf out of the history of Joe Gans. It will be remembered that be fore Gans had his first Colma fight with Nelson the one In which he lost the championship he - was away below weight. It bothered him at the time but it was only when he entered the ring that he understood that he was not as good as he had been. Nelson never was a tieavy man in his division, but he has al way had plenty of weight to take off in the past in the way of getting into condition.

MATH IS LOSER Jap Wrestler Protests When 0'Connell Wins Fall. SEGOND BOUT REFUSED Local Athlete Proves Better Man Than Son of Nippon Bad Feel Ins Is Shown, and Jap Draws Blood From Opponent. BT V,'. 3. PETRA1N. Eddie O'Connell, after throwing? M. Matsuda. the Japanese wrestler. In the first fall, was declared the winner by Referee Arthur Cavtll because of the failure of the Oriental wrestler to ap pear on the mat for the second fall within the time limit of 10 minutes pro vided by the wrestling; rules. Matsuda seemingly quit, although to many it . appeared he had not been downed. However, his trainer, who made himself obnoxious about the arena after the dispute arose, admitted that the Jap was "nearly" down, and Ref eree Cavill is positive that both shoul ders of the Jap touched the mat. Matsuda's manager tried to defend his entry, but was somewhat disgusted with the affair himself. He made a short talk to the fans present, de claring that Matsuda would continue providing another referee was selected, but O'Connell replied with the state ment that he had as much of a kick coming as had the Jap, and that if he was satisfied to continue with Cavill the Jap ought to be. O'Connell's re marks were greeted with cheers, show ing that the crowd was with him. Arm Bar Lock Throws Jap. Matsuda's colored trainer raged about the place like a caged lion, though at the time Cavill called the down, he went away tamely enough, and it was not until after he had held a confer ence with Matsuda and the latter's white manager that he rushed out of the dressing-room and protested that his man had not been downed. The hold with which O'Connell threw the Jap was a head and arm lock, com bined with a half-body scissors, and because of O'Connell's arm being about the Jap's head the colored trainer tried to assert that It was a strangle hold. Iuring the wrangling after the fall, the ten minutes intermission elapsed, and the call was sent for the Jap to make hfs appearance, and upon his failure to show, Cavill awarded the match to O'Con nell. A- couple of minutes later the. Jap appeared, but the decision had already been rendered, and while O'Connell seemed to reverse his ruling, . and the match was ended. . While the match ended in a manner whloh disappointed the big crowd pres ent, it was clear to all at the ring side that O'Cpnnell was the better man of the two. He outpointed the Jap in all manner of wrestling tactics, and both men showed a disposition to rough it on the slightest provocation. Early in the match Matsuda butted O'Connell in the nose and the claret" flowed freely for a few seconds. Referee Decision Protested. That O'Connell was not favored by the referee was evident when both men rolled off the mat with. O'Connell having the upper hold, but on being returned the Jap was given the top position in spite of the protests of O'Connell's friends. The Jap Is a strong rugged wrestler, but O'Connell is equally so if not his superior, for last night he seemed far the better man of the two. The preliminary match between Gene West and Youifg Aradt was a fast and exciting match. West won the first fall, but Arndt. with his superior experience, came back and took the next two falls hanidly, though .-West displayed enough science and agility to please the crowd. The other preliminary between Keppert and Davis was fairijsh and won by the former. - During the Intermission, while O'Connell and Matsuda were preparing to their make their appearance, Ed.
