10 TTTR MORNING ORKCrOXTAN- MONDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1913. AD'S CONDITION IS TO BE BEST- Ex-Champion to Meet Murphy Weighing Under 133, Is ' Trainer's Promise. PAIR TO LEAVE WEDNESDAY Tighter Contemplates Adding His Share of Purse to Fund to Be Invested In Ranch Near Xashvllle, Oregon. BT ROSCOB FAWCETT. "Wolgast will enter the ring In bet ter physical condition than at any time In his career. Be will welsh betwee 132 and 133 pounds and will beat Mur Phy." Between gasps for breath, following a ten-mile run through the hills west of the city. Jack King, father of Mrs. Hattllng .nelson and Wolgast s new trainer, made this emphatic prediction yesterday anent the February 22 VVol gast-Murphy bout at San Francisco. Wolgast stepped onto the scales after Ills workout yesterday and tipped th beam at 136 V- pounds. He Is heavie than at a corresponding time prior to any other fight and for once will train down Instead of up. Wolgast and King will leave Portland Wednesday tor San Francisco and will have only on or two boxing sessions before chang ing bases. Peter Grant, a well-known pugilistic expert, has been watcbing King s hand ling of the ex-lightwelght champion, and he, too, is enthusiastic over the Cadillac wildcat's condition. He pre dicts a Wolgast victory. At any rate, the coming 133-pound tussle Is destined to exert a tremendous influence over Wolgast's future activ Itles. He announced yesterday that the 310,000 or 311.000 he expects to rake in Irom the Murphy bout will be suf ficient to swing the big ranch deal he has been considering since- coming to Oregon. Wolgast says be Intends to purchase 1700 acres near Nashville, 30 miles west of Albany and six miles from the rail road line running over to Newport on the pacific Coast. He and Mrs. Wol gast looked the property over a fort night ago prior to the matching for the Murphy bout, and Ad, virtually abandoned thoughts of completing the purchase because of the amount In volved, something In the neighborhood or Sos.000. Vhe "velvet" from the Washington birthday bout, however, will swell Ad's available cash balance to sufficient proportions to make the "buy" pos sible. The rough land will cost him in the neighborhood of $18 per acre, but he expects to Invest from 315,000 to 320,000 in buildings and stock. "When I give up boxing as a llvell hood I intend to come to Oregon and make this state my future home," said he last night, fingering a $225 14 karat chatelelne purse purchased at a local Jewelry emporium as a present for his wife. "I had a deal on for 400-acre ranch near Medford, but this Nashville ranch looks pretty good to me now. Wolgast and King Inspected a 4000 acre tract near St. Helens some time a za. but the property did not impress lae ex-champion. MLR PITY SAYS HE WTLIi WIN "Harlem Tommy" Glad He Is to fight Wolsast Instead of Mandot. SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 9. "Harlem Tommy" Murphy, who will meet Ad A olgust here in a 20-round fight Feb ruary 22, arrived here, tonight from c hlcago. He left the Iast before re ceiving Promoter Coffroth's telegram. pent Friday, telling him to await final settlement of the match before coming West. Murphy will begin training im mediately at a beach resort. "I am glad I am to meet Wolgast In stead of Joe Mandot." said Murphy, "as ft will place me in a much better line for the championship. 1 will begin to set in shape tomorrow and will work hard. 1 expect to win." TRAINER PRAISES ANDERSON Charles Du Puis Says VancouTcr Fighter Underestimated by Pans. VANCOUVER. Wash., Feb. 9. fSpe ciaD That many who know Bud An derson, of this city, aspirant to the lightweight championship of the world, underestimate his ability as a fighter Is the opinion of Charles Ou Puis, of Vancouver, an early trainer of Aider son, who Is now in Los Angeles. In speaking of Anderson today Du Puis said: "Of course. I will admit he doesn't know it all when it comes to fighting, but he is one who Is always ready to learn. Bud has a peculiar way of his own in fighting, and that same pe culiar way will make him champion some day. He has a punch that would be a credit to a middleweight, and you will never see him extend himself un less be is compelled to. Sammy Trott was no more to Bud than the others he has beaten. I trained Bud for more than two years and know him to be a good clean fighter and a game one. Any 133-pounder whom he can hit he uan beat."

Another meeting of the Portland Kennel Club has been called for Tues day night at 8 o'clock in the offices of lr. George B. Story In the Selling building. The, filling of the vacancies caused by the resignations of Frank R. Wat kins, president, and W. B. Fechheimer, secretary, will likely be filled at this meeting, and final action taken as to whether Portland is to stage the annual bench show. "The matter will have to be settled this week or Portland will have no show at all." declared J. J. McCarthy, last night. "It requires five or six weeks of hard plugging to arrange for the show, and it will have to be held the last week in March or the- first week In April to get in on the circuit." The site being most widely discussed Is the present location of the McCredte Billiard Parlors, which will be vacated on April 1. The building may be razed but the Kennel Club officials believe they can squeeze in a week before the demolition process begins. The Build ing is Ideal for show purposes. Club Meeting Postponed. The Portland Motorboat Club will not hold Its meeting tonight, owing to the absence of several moving spirits. Commodore C W. Boost set March 10 as the date for the meeting of the club members, and the site committee will make Its report then. Changes In the present by-laws will also come up for discussion. The Oregonian will publish, tomor row or Wednesday, the first of a series of baseball articles from the typewriter of W. W. McCredle, president of the Portland Athletic Club, which embraces the two local diamond teams. Presi dent McCredle Is now at work prepar ing the series, after several weeks of persuasion. were you to ask me to prepare a speech to the Jury I would be ngnt in my element," said the eminent jurist. laughingly, "but if you wish my views the various phases of the great National game, I can give them to you. guess every man ought to Know nis business better than anybody else. Baseball has grown to such propor tions that people are vitally interested in everything concerning the diamond," he added. "But the public has the wrong conception on a great many features of the game, as I will endeavor to bring out- in my brief articles. "A group of three or four fans will take In a bie Sunday game, gaze around over the big sea of faces, and one will remark to another: 'My, but think of the coin those owners are making. Just rolling In wealth.' They do not stop to consider that we naraiy pay Doaru bills on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. They forget all about the thousands of dollars that must be ex pended every year In assembling and maintaining a team. . "That Sunday crowd the fan com ments on is the only life-saver base ball has on the Coast, vere It not for Sunday names there would be no Coast League, and that's why I was glad to see the stringent anti-Sunday bill In troduced Into the "Legislature a lort- ight ago by Representative Molta go own to defeat. 'The baseball magnate haa his troubles the same as every business man, only more so. He must deal with fickle public and also witn nis Dan players, and, no matter how bard he tries to please he finds himself con tinually In difficulties. Some of the players are enough to turn one's hair gray. Why. if 1 were to tell the public some of the tricks that have been worked by the players to evade duty, to secure money, to force exorbitant salaries. It would make an Interesting chapter in Itself." phy, "for she will have ample time to prepare the evening meal after seeing a game," Bowman, the new captain of the Uni versity of Washington track team, probably will be the most consistent Seattle point winner this year. In 1912 he won first place In the high Jump at every conference meet, scoring 22 points. He has made his "W" three years. Bowman is tied for the North western Intercollegiate high jump rec ord with Dave Grant at 6 feet M Inch. His brother, Hugh, captained the 1911 track team. The Chicago White oi and Oakland will not dedicate the new Oakland Coast ball park. Instead, the practice games will be played at Freeman's park. Oak land has eight games with Chicago and three with St. Mary's College. Cottage Grove Team Defeated. COTTAGE GKOVE, Or., Feb. 9. (Special.) The Nesmith team was de feated in a basketball game here Satur. day night by the Roseburg Athletics. The score was 34 to 21. The game was a fairly fast one and the home team lost by Its inability to pitch baskets. !J IS PORTLAND BOY VAtXTS FEET 9 IXCHES. 11 Sporting Sparks HARRT WOLVERTON agrees with the doctrines of his Portland rival, Walter McCredle. "To my mind a ball club has to be built around an Invin cible pitching staff, and that Is what I am trying to form for Sacramento," said Wolverton upon his arrival at the California capital the other day. Mc Credle does not think Jack Lively, Sac ramento's newest addition, will be of much use to the Senators owing to an Illness last year. While the hammer-throw has been eliminated from the programme of th Northwestern Intercollegiate track meets, this weight event will be re tained by the University of Oregon In the annual interscholastic meet at Eu gene in May. The Oregon Aggies, like wise, will probably retain the 12-pound globule event. Upon the eve of his departure from Los Angeles for the East last week, Frank Chance reiterated his statement that he would refuse to waive on Short stop Joe Berger if the Chicago Sox at tempted to turn him back to Los An geles. Chance also said he might play first base for the New Tork Americans, and that there was a possibility, after all, of H,al Chase being moved to second. Dr. G. J. Sweetland.

"Even the woman who does her own work will appre ciate thia change," said President Mur- 'Stanford Coach Regards Athlete as Promising and Says He Will Make 12:5 This Spring. Robert Krohn, Jr., a Portland high school graduate, pole vaulted 11 feet 9 inches in a preliminary meet at Stan ford University Saturday afternoon. winning that event, and will likely rep resent the Palo Alto University in the dual meet against the University of California. This intelligence was telegraphed northward by Toung Krohn yesterday. His sensational feat was performed against seven competitors, among them being Miller, the man who represented Stanford last year In the big meets. Krohn's future seems all the more bril liant In view of his phenomenal rise within the past two years. In 1911 he established a new Portland Inter scholastic record of 10 feet. 2 Inches as a member of the Washington high squad, and last May Increased that to 10 feet 8 Inches, again winning the event. He has now bettered that mark to 11 feet 9 Inches, or more than a foot higher, and Coach Moulton believes that he will top 12 feet 5 Inches In the outdoor meets this Spring. Moulton de. veloped the world's champion, Leland Scott, whose mark of 12 feet 10 Inches held for years until last Summer, and he also brought out Sam Bellah, of the Multnomah Club, who vaulted 12 feet 9 6-8 Inches In 1912. Toung Krohn is 21 years old and Is a son of Robert Krohn, physical di rector of the Multnomah Athletic Club of Portland and of the local grammar schools. yuwJT7r,.....,U.... f ij' '" - ' v.' !

Northern Track Men to Compete at Eugene May 9 and Meet In Cali fornia Is Scheduled for May 10Cliange Impossible. Portland will not -entertain the Pa cine Coast Intercollegiate track and field championships this Summer, nor will the Universities of Oregon and Washington send athletes to the fourth Coast championships at Berkeley, Cal., May 10. This important announcement was made by Arthur M. Geary, graduate manager of athletics at the University of Oregon, last night upon his arrival In Portland from Eugene en route to Seattle. The southern colleges have refused to come north and have also bucked at a change In the date selected, and, as It conflicts with the dates of the dual meet between Washington and Oregon at Eugene, there will be noth ing doing on a California jaunt. "We meet Washington May 9 at Eu gene and hold the state interscholastic meet May 10, so cannot give those events up for the California meet. said Manager Geary. "I have done my utmost to have the Caltfornlans come north, but Donald's letter Just received seems to indicate that my efforts will not meet with success. Donald, how ever, is only one of four In charge." In his letter Manager Donald, of California, says in part: "I have talked over the matter of going north to Portland with the other colleges, and all agree tha't it would be mistake to leave the San Francisco bay district for the reason that the Universities of California, Stanford and Nevada.' Pomona and Occidental Col leges and the University of Southern California would have to travel through San Francisco to reach Portland. And, vice versa, they would have to travel through San Francisco to go to Los Angeles." Last year Oregon took second place to California In the meet and Wash ington fourth. It was in that meet that McClure established the new Coast record In the mile run of 4 minutes 24 1-5 seconds. He also beat Crabbe In the two-mile run. Hawkins defeated both Beeson and Kelly, the latter the Olympic high-hurdle champion, in the high sticks that day. Oregon had only five men entered against a dozen apiece for Stanford and California.

Morris Dunne knows well that it has been my Intention to enter the coming athletic meets and not to turn professional." said Hawkins yesterday. "My connections with the Hill Military Academy will be as instructor of mathematics and not as track coach, although I intend to help the men con dition themselves. I promised Dick Grant and Os Day that I would do all I could in the way of training them for the 1913 meets." . Amateur Athletics.

Clark Apprehended by Federal Authorities Alleged to Have Obtained Pass for Af finity .in Spouse's Name. , By a Federal indictment for a viola tion of the Interstate Commerce act. the alleged double life of Charles T. Clark, clerk in the O.-W. R. & N. Com pany's ticket office at the Union Depot, is revealed a necessary element of the offense charged against him belna? that the woman with whom he has lived In Portland for three years. Is not his wife. Following an indictment by the Federal grand Jury, Clark was sr rested at bis home by Deputy Marshal Beatty, early yesterday and furnished bond of S1000 lor his appearance. The offense charged is a violation of the anti-pass clause of the Hepburn act, which penalizes the using of false representations to obtain free trans portation to a person not Included in the classes to whom passes may be furnished. It is specified that Clark obtained for his supposed wife, trans portation between Spokane and Walla Walla, representing that she was the wife of an employe, to whom the In terstate Commerce law permits such transportation to be given. Clark has made frequent use of the privilege, which Is accorded generally to employes, but only recently the rail road officials learned of the alleged lack of legal relationship between him and the woman who was receiving the passes. As a continuance of the priv ilege would render the railroad crim inally liable, after knowing the true state of the case, the information was laid before United States District At torney McCourt, and the indictment was returned. At railroad headquarters It Is as serted that Clark has confessed having a wife and family In Minnesota. In the city directory Charles T. Clark, clerk for the O.-W. R. & N.
