TIIE MORXIXG OREGOXIAN, FRIDAY, XOYEMBETt ,21, 1919. 10 E Free Creases Demanded by Pacific Coast Arbiters. PROPER DRESS IS VITAL but Kales Require Fresh Presses. Provide. No Means for Payment Out of Club Strong Box. The Pacific Coast league Is con fronted -with the first punts problem in history. Recently it was recorded that the umpires are poing to aslc for more and better food and large, airy bedrooms with bath and other facil- ities. Now they are going to rise up and ask the league to press their pants, or provide them with money to hire it done. There have been signs of un rest on the part of the umps for some time, but nobody expected it to settle In their trousers. It is pointed out that the American association each season sets aside an appropriation for the pressing of the umpires trousers. Each arbitrator is allowed $2.50 per month. He uses it to remove the baggy, wind-blown effect from the knees and put pretty perpen dicular creases fore and aft. Each umpire Is supposed to have his trous ers pressed once a week, and is sub ject to reprimand if he shows up with riffles in the same. Coast league umpires are compelled to pay for the pressing out of their own pockets and, as the pockets are In the pants, they do thla after the trousers are returned to them. True, some of them are suspected of trying to cut down the high cost of living by doing their- own pressing, while others look- as if they had never had a red-hot iron near the fabric. However, most of the umpires wish from now on to take pride in the appearance of their pants, if the league will stand the expense of the pride. President McCarthy, who Is a neat and careful dresser, will, it is be lieved, encourage the umpires to look spiff y, and declare each Monday legal pressing day. . The 1920 manager of the Seattle club is still in doubt and has the boys guessing. Mike Kelly and "Chick Oandil both are out of the running- Kelly announced in St. Paul the other day that he would manage the Saints again, while Gandil has been counted out by Charles Comiskey, owner of the White Sox. Bill Rodgers now looms as the fore most contender for the position, with Clyde Wares also down as a pos sibility. Numerous other names have been mentioned from time to time, but just who will land the job will remain a mystery until the Seattle directors clear it up. Right now Bill Rodgers seems to have the best chance. A meeting of the Sacramento directors is sl&ted for tonight and some defi nite disposal of Rodgers' case .will be made as far as he is concerned with the Senators. John McGraw has forgiven Phil Douglas and mailed him a contract for next season with a neat raise. Phil, who used to hurl tall steins and baseballs for the Seals,- went on a spree in the waning months of the eeaEon just closed and incurred Mc Graw's wrath. "Wade Killifer is to boss the citrus aggregation next season, having signed a contract to this effect the other day. Since he relieved Chance, Killlfer has met with unusual suc cess, winning cue pennant and finish ing second. www. Cactus Cravath of the Phillies fs sweet on Bill Pertica. ' the Angles youthful hurling star, and it is pos sible that a deal may be hatched which will sentence Pertica to the sleeping village. Walter Boles, veteran receiver of the Cafeteria machine, is rehearsing his annual Bwan song. Walter wants to quit but the only thing that pre vents is the juicy contract offered as bait by Jim Powers. e Robert McGraw, a right-handed pitcher, claimed by the Tanks via the waiver route from Boston, was with the Giants before they traded him to the Stall in grs outfit. Mickey La Longe, who, with Claude Berry, used to share the catching hon ors for the Seals, finished last sea ion with Kansas City in the Ameri can association. Gotham scribblers apparently have been informed that "Babe" Pinelli of Sacramento will not linger long in the coveted circle. Pitchers fear Ruth, but the slab Bier who states that he likes to pitch against the Detroit club is too brave a -soul to linger long on this costly soil. Anyone who can gain the least iota of pleasure facing Heilman, Flagstead. Veach and Cobb certainly haa a stunted sense of humor. . . The proposed third major league is a chimera. .Ruppert. Frazee and Co misky, despite their avowed dislike ot" Ban Johnson, are not feeble-mind ed and seriously do not entertain any ideas of a new organization. . Brooklyn has hopes of .landing Frank Snyder, catcher of the Giants. Snyder was with the Cardinals before he landed with McGraw. and Is rated a valuable man behind the plate.

Coach "Bob" Evans of Stanford today an nounced that the Cardinal line-up would not be made public until just before the game with the University of California Saturday.

Middleweight Champion Mike O'Dowd and Mike Gibbons, the St. Paul phantom, today completed training for their 10-round bout here Friday night, so far as boxing is concerned. Both fighters declared they were at weight and in top-notch condition. Twin City papers have announced that the prevailing odds have in creased to 10 to 7 on Gibbons, as a consequence of his improved showing this week. TO SHOW HIS CLASS Much Face Discussed Middle to Mike O'Dowd Tonight. ABILITY ONCE RATED HIGH! TRICK PLAY PROTESTED W. S. C. FOOTBALIj FAXS AL LEGE UNFAIR RULIXG. Victory in T7. of W. Game Depended on Official's Incision Is Assertion on Campus. WASHINGTON STATE COLLEGE, Pullman, Nov. 20. (Special.) There is a wail all over the campus because of the alleged Injustice rendered the Cougars last Saturday in the Univer sity ot Washington Dattle. It con cerns the copping of additional yard age, first downs and even the game, so the crimson and gray rooters are wont to say. Students and fans generally claim that the trick play which the uni versity used when being held for downs inside the Cougars" ten-yard mark was illegal, and the referees should have allowed Captain Hanley's protest and penalized Washington on both occasions when the penalty against the locals cost touchdowns. Furthermore, the more learned of these arguing gentry quote specific ally and vociferously from rule 14, section 6, of the football rule which reads: "If a player of the side in possession of the ball makes a delib erate attempt by a false start or otherwise to draw the opponents' off side, the ball, if snapped, shall not be regarded in play -or the scrimmage begun. Penalty five yards." The trick was first executed in the first half, when the university had eight yards to go for touchdown and one down to make yardage. The trick, consisting of a false start by the vis iting line, resulted in a penalty giv ing the university four down to nego tiate four yards to a touchdown. The same play was worked for the de ciding touchdown in the third quar ter, and the protest was disallowed. MATHEWS USES SUBSTITUTES Phantom" Boxer Xo Longer Occu pies FirmPIace in Fistic Af fairs He Once Enjoyed. Mike Gibbons, who for many years was rated as the greatest middle weight in the world excepting per haps the late Les Darcy, will have the opportunity in St. Paul tonight to show what he really is, against a man who is recognized as a-world's cham pion by virtue of victories over the best men in the world at his weight. Alike O'Dowd. Although he has never held the title Mike Gibbons has always been regarded as the kingpin of the mid dle weights, or rather until the last few months. Not long ago Mike took on Jeff Hmith and according to those at ringside made a miserable show ing. - Some unkind things were also said of Alike, in a bout with George Chip, and some even went so far as to say the 6t. Paul - phantom has stooped to framing not depending upon his great ability to .carry him through. As a boxer there have been few men in the world that have sur passed him and none at his weight. Mike O Dowd won his laurels ea titleholder when he knocked out Al McCoy In New York several years ago. McCoy having won the title on) a lucky knockout. After once land-i ing the crown McCoy never took a chance in a decision bout and it was in a scheduled no-decision contest in which ODowd knocked him out. O'Dowd was the only champion to enlist in the army and see actual service on the front, of which he got plenty and went through the fray without a scratch. Mike is a popu lar champion and has been fighting as much as four times a week the past month. He has not barred anyone and is not holding out for unheard of purses. They all look alike to the Fighting Harp and he is not in the least afraid of Gibbons. O'Dowd is a tiger in the ring and fights with heart and soul from gong to gong, smothering his opponents with his aggressive ness. Gibbons and O'Dowd are sched uled to go ten rounds. O'Dowd's ability to batter down the elusive Phantom in their clash to night apparently is not questioned by boxing promoters in the east, as be has been offered & bout already for Thanksgiving day in Newark, N. J., against either "Soldier" Bart fie Id or Augie Ratner. The Keystone Ath letic club of Pittsburg is also after O'Dowd and has offered him $12,000 to defend his title against Harry Greb, with the weight at 160 pounds at 3 P. M. Willamette Prepares to Give Reed - Hard Fight Tomorrow. WILLAMETTE UNIVERSITY," Sa lem, Or., Nov. 20. (Special.) Coach Mathews is fast whipping his substi tutes Into shape to fill the holes in the line and backfield occasioned by injuries to several varsity men. As a result, it seems apparent . that Reed will have to fight hard to stop the Bearcats Saturday. With Rarey, Day, Basler and Vin son out of the running for this week, at least, the line-up selected to face the Portland representatives will be something like this: Bain, center; Lawson and Ramsey, guards; Tobie, Brown, Thomas, guards; Barnes ana Jackson, ends; Irvine, quarterback; Zeller and Dimick, halves, and Wapa to, fullback. Eighteen men will be taken on the trip, and Yell King Flegel expects to have a rooters section of Willam ette students at the game. No real excursion will be attempted, how ever, due to the proximity of the Thanksgiving vacation. On Thanksgiving day, the College of Puget Sound eleven will be enter tained on Sweetland field in. the clos ing contest of the year. JUXIOR GIRLS WIN STVIM Sophomores Take Second Place in O. A. C. Interclass Programme. OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL LEGE, Corvallis. Nov.O. (Special.) The junior women won-first place In the interclass swimming meet held this week. Lucille Resing of Portland being junior class manager. The sonhomores were awarded eecond place, under the leadership of Agnes Maginnis of Corvallis.

The meet was held under the dl rection of the Women's Athletic asso ciation, of which Gladys Lennox of Roseburg is president. Two other swimming meets will be held before the cup is awarded to the class re ceiving the most points. Johnny Cashill, the St. Paul feath erweight, who fought in Portland sev eral times last year, is back in St. Paul and has been training with Gib bons. Boy McCormlck, lightweight cham pion of England, who meets Frank Parmer in Milwaukie next Tuesday night, stepped eight fast rounds in the gymnasium yesterday, doing most of the work with "Scotty" Williams, the colored welterweight. McCormick impressed the large, crowd of fight fans who watched him work out as the best man at his weight that has parked his hat in Portland for many full moon. He is a natural fighter and in his two workout sessions has lived up to all advance notices. Wil Hams also wields a nasty mitf and from the looks - of things is due to give Billy Wright of Seattle an in teresting engagement when they clash in the 10-round semi-wind-up of the November 25 card in Mil waukie. Bud Ridley. Seattle "bantamweight under Fred Winsor's watchful eye, got in some good licks yesterday and will be in excellent shape for his six-round tilt against Bexme Dillon in Milwau kie. Dillon Is a rugged boy and al though perhaps not the classiest fighter at his weight in this-neck of the woods, figures to put up a battle. AV insor will send Ridley in to stop him in a round if possible, Roy Moore, -who is making a strong bid for a match with Jimmy Wilde, will meet Joe Lynch in a 12-round battle in Baltimore on November 28. Joe Welling was to have fought Benny Leonard six rounds in Phila delphia on Thanksgiving day, but re eived such a lacing from Joe Benja min, the Portland lightweight, re ently, that the promoters called the match off.
