J . 10 THE MORNING OREGONIAX, SATURDAY, JANUARY 17, 1914. MULTNOMAH MEN TAKE ALL HONORS Vancouver, B. C, Boxers and Wrestlers, However, Put Game Contests. PACKED HOUSE DELIGHTED 5nler-Clul Programme Marked by I'M st Mills Sclimcer Loses to Cronquist and Madden Humbles Morrison. The Vancouver, B. C. Athletic Club boxers and wrestlers lost all the inter club events to winged M men at the Multnomah Club last night, but the defeat of the Northerners, although an honor for the Multnomah men, was far from ignominious for the Vancouver boys. They helped make up some of the best bouts seen in the amateur field for some time, much to the delight of a packed house of 1200 spectators. The best bouts of the evening were those in which Tost Schmeer, of the Multnomah Club, lost to lirnest Cron MUist O'Leary, of Seattle, knocked out Joe Bayley. of Victoria, in the 15th round of a scheduled 15-round bout at the Steveston arena tonight In the fastest battle between lightweights ever staged in the Northwest. Bayley was the aggressor at the start. , OVERALL KEFCSES TO SIGN Pitcher Xot Satisfied With Contract Offered by Howard. LOS ANGELES, Cal., Jan. 16. (Spe cial. )t Orvie Overall today received his contract from the San Francisco ball club, but has decided not to sign It. Overall received a contract calling for good figures, but he believes he is worth more to the Seals. "I don't want to sign my contract now and later inform Del Howard that I will not play," said Overall. "Some of the propositions put up to me look good and I may accept one of them. "Although Howard has sent me a fair contract I would not sign the present one, but I do not believe there will be a hitch over the salary question."

Petroskey wasfcreported to be suffering from an ailmiQt which it was said might be diagnosed as ap pendicitis. Petroskey was stricken yesterday and after having been examined by two physicians representing the boxing club, was taken to a hospital today. He has a high fever, and pains in the ab domen caused the physicians to suspect appendicitis. On their recommenda tion the postponement was ordered. It was stated that aa soon as Pe troskey recovers he will be rematched with Clabby. with the Seals for the past several years, also signed a contract that calls for his exclusive services. In the past he has handled both the Seals and the Oaks, and has been a borne trainer. During the coming season h will travel with the team' and will be in constant attendance to . the players. Oakland will, accordingly, have to look for a trainer to take Denny s place. Another change in the club s policy will be Manager Howard acting as busi ness as well as team manager.

MAJOR RATING POSSIBLE If Eastern Magnates' Fight Outlaws by Raising Status of AA Clubs in Their Territory Coast Will Get Equal Rank. BY ROSCOE FAWCETT. Portland's 191 baseball deck will be completely re-shuffled as a result of the desertion of the star outfielder, Chet Chadbourne, to the new Federal major league. While deeply grieved at the loss of Chad. Manager McCredie studied over his list of available pawns yesterday and It did not take him long to "dope" out a new combination of kings and rooks calculated to bring about the mystic "checkmate." Chadbourne's de parture, if it proves authentic, means that both Speaa and Lober will cavort in the outfield along f ' n - IIlll Beats Hood River. with the result that the game they put up was far from being a sensational affair.

OVERS of balkline billiards will have to hand it to George Sutton, the Chicago veteran, for sticking on Willie Hoppe's trail, even though both ape employed by the trust table manufacturers to boost business. Sutton has been licked so often by Hoppe that It takes a courageous make up to pull the front that Sutton has been putting up the past few weeks. And, don't get the Impress ion that George doesn't stand a good show of beating the al ways youthful (see a d v e r 1 1 sements) Hoppe. The other night ln Chicago Sutton played Cal vin Demarest a 400-point game, and, aside from defeating Demarest 400 to 143 and averaging 66 4-6 billiards, Sut ton didn't go much. But 66 4-6 billiards Is pretty speedy, sailing believe us, Mawruss, and out side of Fielder A. Jones, of Portland, there doesn't seem to be anybody on the horizon who stands as good a show at Youthful William. Sutton has always displayed nervous ness on former world's championship occasions, but, if he can overcome the "rattles" in the 2000-point match booked for February 23-25 at Chicago, Hoppe better look out. The next green cloth championship of the year will be the meeting of Ben nle Allen, of Kansas City, and James Maturo, of Denver, who will play for the pocket billiard, alias pool, cham pionship at Seattle, January 2s, Zi and 30. Allen is the champion. Maturo defeated De Oro in the last National tournament at Philadelphia about a year ago, but lost the title the next night to Edward I. Ralph. It's a great treat for the football fans up at Spokane to get a squint at any college football teams in action and now, further to -anchor the Falls City In the catacombs of sport, the Board of Education has passed a reso lution barring high school games with outside towns. The Ad Club and Chamber of Com merce, being wiser than the fogeys on the School Board, have passed resolu tions condemning the move, and a wild delegation plans to swoop down on the next session of the Boaru demanding a recall. Safe to say that Spokane got more real good advertising out of Wallace De Witt, famous Princeton All-Amerl can fullback, 1911 and 1912; Vincent Borleske, ' Whitman's great all-star halfback; Wesley Englehorn, captain elect of the 1913 Dartmouth eleven, unanimous All-American in 1912; Wal ter Shiel, captain of the 1914 Washing ton squad, and Stanley Borleske, All Western Michigan end 1911, than from all the School Boards that ever passed loounn legislation at Spokane. And yet, the present Board would stick a knife into the ambitions of the future Borleskes, Englehorns and De Witts, for, without the preliminary high school training no Spokane ath lete would be able to attend a big uni versity and compete on equal terms for a place on the varsity squad. This by Ring W. Lardner. the clevor writer ln the Chicago Tribune: "Zerah Zequiel Hagerman has been v'sold' by fortiand to Cleveland.- One cannot help respecting Charley Somers. Almost any other magnate would hint a fabu lous sum had been paid for the athlete. Mr. Somers admits that Portland e-nf onthing but a promise." - MUNICIPAL GOLF. I've an old-time friend, named Thaddeus . Jones, Who lives ln a one-horse town Where there's nothing much to do or see; And " 'ceptin' when there's a snnllin' bee," They hit bed when the sun goes down. Now Thaddeus Jones packed his bag une uay. And forthwith to Portland" came. For the first time ln his life, by Gee! And so, of course, it was up to me To brag some of the city's fame. The Morgan building and 'Multnomah Club, Thad saw all we had to show? Mount Hood, the river; here, there and back He saw Mayor Albee and "Walter Mac And to Washington Park did go. And Thaddeus Jones looked around him there. And I knew he liked It well; Then he said to me, "My friend, me thinks I would like to try your public links; I've my club at the hotel." What was there to say? I told him the truth. But I sought his eyes with dread. For long with pily at me he gazed; I knew how greatly he was amazed; "By gosh!" was all Thaddeus said. For you see in his little one-horse town They don't have so much to show. But they do have a free golf course up there; They have one, ln fact, most every where. Why not here, we would like to know? Chet Chadbourne, side Doane, and that Fred Derrick will be anchored again at the Initial sack. Milligan, the Central Association draft, will be retained as the utility out fielder, .Manager McCredle's original inten tion was to use Lober at first base, and Kpeas, Chadbourne and Doane in the gardens. With Bancroft leading candidate for the infield utility berth the popular Southerner, Derrick, likely would have drawn his 1914 monthly stipends from the Portland Northwest League club. In fact, McCredie was debating whether to have Fred report to the Beavers at Santa Maria or to the Colts at "Santa Rosa. But Chad's "jump" guarantees Fred another year in AA company, and the Georgian is fully capable of handling the job unless injuries again put him hors de combat just when he gets going good. Lober already is signed and Doane Is piitisfiec', and the entire' infield, Rodgers, Davis, Kores, barring Derrick, has likewise forwarded chirographic samples, so Mac's worries likely will be concentrated on the Chadbourne defection. Chadbourne is a mighty valuable man to have on a ball club and his loss may ultima! ely prove irreparable. Buck O'Brien May Jump. Buck O'Brien, of the Oakland club. Is the latest Coast Leaguer to figure In the "outlaw's" prospect conversation. "Buck" wants to play ln faster com pany and is said to be dickering with one of the Fed. managers. He still is the property of the Chi cago White Sox. but the Oaks have an option on him until next April, and Lcavitt's plan has been to trade him for some other more Juvenile relic According to the telegraphic dis patches from the Atlantic seaboard, the majors plan to combat the new Fed erals by raising the International and the American Association to major league status. The Feds have clubs in three Inter national' cities, Toronto, Buffalo and Baltimore, and in two American Asso ciation strongholds, Indianapolis' and Kansas City, and some such strategy will have to be employed or the fans almost surely will patronize the Fed major league clubs in preference to the AA attractions. The truth of this assertion has been shown here in Portland, where we have both AA and B ball. Despite the fact that there is little difference In the clalls, the fans have shown a shock ingly magnified preference for the bigger label. Coant May Get Better Ratine. But elevating two of the AA leagues to major proportions will leave only the Coast League in the AA ranks, and it Is as sure as daylight and dark that thcl'acific Coast will demand and will secure an equal ranking with its East ern rivp.ls. In other words, if there is any boost ing of the baseball scale. It will mean five major leagues within the pale of organized frolic instead of two as at present. "There isn't so much difference be tween the major and Pacific Coast sal ary standards after all," remarked President McCredie, of the Portland champions, yesterday, discussing this phase of the outlaw invasion. "Aside from a few stars,. I don't think they pay any more. than we do. "Coast League salaries will run be tween $1700 and $2300 per season. while major league salaries will not go much over $2400. "Raising us to major rank would take off that draft privilege and It wouldn't be long before wo would have teams fully as strong as any now in the American or National Leagues.
