14 THE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, MARCH 14, 1925 THORPE TIKES FIELD I N BELT WITH III Big Injun Takes No Chances in This Woolly West. BIG BOY TOLD BIG TALE Somebody in Kast Informs Athlete Kvcry Other Person on Coast Would Hold Him Vp. BY L. H. GREGORY. PASADENA. Cal.. March 13. (Sne clal.) Somebody back east told Jim Thorpe that every other person he met on the Pacific coast would shove a pistol into his ribs and try to hold him up, so big Jim came absolutely prepared for the worst. He aston lshed his teammates of the Portland baseball club today by appearing for practice with a huge six-sun hang; Ins from his belt. Jim made it plain to the boys that he didn't suspect any of them, but he also made it plain that if any out-west-Injun tried being wild and woolly with him he would give him a run for his money. Jim is an Oklahoma Indian himself and if any wild and woolly stuff is to be pulled he appears perfectly competent to pull it himself. Full Aincitnl Carried. But that wasn't all that Jim did. The boys discovered that he had brought a full arsenal with him. In addition to a couple of six-shooters, he had a repeating rifle of large caliber, a shotgun, two fishing poles and an Airedale dog. If he doesn't run into any road agents Jim plans to use the dog to shoo up a few bear in Oregon, and he may show members of the Multnomah Anglers' club in Portland some pointers in the gentle art of bringing a mess of trout. And speaking of that, Jim has heard about the salmon fishing with rod and line in the Willamette river below the falls at Oregon City, and yearns to try his hand at that game. The lineup at the dinner table to night for. the first time included every Beaver regular but one. Km mett McCann, the long-awaited young shortstop from the Philadelphia Ath letics, got in late last night and was in a uniform this morning. McCann, of course, was stiff and sore from his long railroad ride, but he showed some, brisk work about the middle sack.' He also rapped a couple on the beak when he stepped to the plate. This young man will remind old timers of Ivor Olson, when he broke into the coast league with Portland many years ago. He is of the same long-legged, stringy build as Olson, with the same limberness and snappy throwing arm and the same aggres sive way of stepping into trouble. He is a black-haired Irishman and, though a pleasant, soft-spoken lad, there is something about him that suggests he would as soon get into a fight as eat an orange. Brougy Only One Mixulng. McCann stands 5 feet 11 inches in his baseball socks and weighs 165 pounds. He is only 20 years old, but . this is his fourth year of professional baseball and. if he performs as Tom Turner says he can, he will be back on somebody's big league club next season. With the arrival of McCann and Jim Thorpe, the only regular not with the team now is Frank Bruggy, the catcher from the Phillies. No body seems to know where Bruggy i- or what he intends to do. He may be a holdout and he may be only teasing. But he hasn't reported and he hasn't sent . word whether he in tends to report or doesn't. While on that subject, Seattle seems due for some grief before Martv Krug reports. Marty has stayed right here in Pasadena since he was traded to Seattle for Duke Kenworthy. Jim Boldt refused to meet his demand for J.'.UO, so Marty won't budge. Today he sent word that he would not report now even if 'Boldt did kick through with the $500. He said that a brother in business in Omaha has been trying to persuade him for sev eral years t6 go into the business with him and that he has decided to do it. "I'm through with baseball for good," said Krug. "Tavre is nothing in it, anyhow. I don't have to play ball for Jim Boldt or anybody eise, so if I do play it must be on my own terms." Marty pulled a retirement on Judge McCredie last spring and made him kick through with a fat salary in crease over what he was getting from Salt Lake. Probably if Jim Boldt comes through with a little salve money, Krug can be persuaded to make his retirement a Patti. WHEN A FELLER NEEDS A FRIEND.

BOYES HOT SPRINGS, Cal., March 13. (Special.) With the exception of light road work this morning the San Francisco Seals had practically a day of rest. This was on account of the strenuous game at Santa Rosa yester day. Tomorrow real hard work will be in order once more. Weather is fair again after last week's miserably cold spell. Sam Agnew is having a catch-as-catch-can battle with his op ponent, appendicitis. Sam gets floored every once in a while, but so far has always come up smiling. He had an attack Saturday night and was too weak to catch Sunday, so Nick Will iams had to don the mask for the first time in years. Dr. C. H. Strub, president of he Seals, was here to see the boys work and was taken ill with the "flu." He had to stay longer than he intended, yet did not see much of the practice.

Baseball and Track Contests to Be Held Three Times Weekly for Next Two Months. WHITMAN COLLEGE. Walla Walla, Wash., March 13. (Special.) With play now ended in the intra-mural basketball league at Whitman college, Athletic Director Borleske has an nounced a schedule of 30 baseball games and 20 dual track meets for play during the next two months at Whitman. Commencing April 1 a baseball game and track meet will be held every other day each week, on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday afternoons, while commencing this week baseball games only will be held the rest of March, said Borleske, thus allowing Whitman men to com pete in both branches. Phi Delta Theta fraternity basket ball team won the intra-mural bas ketball championship with a record of 36 victories and but eight defeats. Beta Theta Pi placed second, white Tau Delta Sigma placed third. A total of 242 games were played In the league, and much interest -was mani fest in all the contests. Track work is to be stressed this spring in the intra-mural play at Whitman, according to Borleske, who says intra-mural sports will be con ducted on a larger scale than hereto fore. Every man will be required to participate in athletics three times a week for two full years as a part of graduation requirements. Men who have three uVexcused absences in their attendance will be auto matically marked "failed"- for the term, and be required to repeat their work for an .additional term. BT ROBERT EDGREN. Famous New Tork Sports Critic ' AFTER eight months of idleness. Jack Dempsey could handle Carpentier, Gibbons, Wills or any other "logical" opponent with only one week of training. The champion isn't going very far back. Certainly he isn't slipping enough to reduce his superiority to a level with the other heavies. There were numerous skeptics in the east who believed Dempsey since his defeat of Carpentier had fallen a victim to temptations that always lurk around a ring title. It was necessary for Jack to appear per sonally in a New York theater to convince these doubting Thomases he isn't hoe fat from soft living. The Scotland and all "Sandy" required was a small clubhouse where he might change into his tweeds. The middle west appears to be following Scotland's example. Under these con ditions the ancient sport can become a popular pastime. But as played around big eastern cities It can never become a repre sentative game when a single round of the links will cost upward of J 5 dollars. a To make a ballplayer quit the game it's necessary to cut off his uniform. Spring practice of teams down south with romantic stories of young "phenoms" showing rare form has had a very soothing effect on num erous hold-outs who said they'd never play again unless their salary de mands were granted. The magnates only had to stand champion carries only a few pounds ' pat. The lure of the game was of extra weight. He is nimble of foot and outwardly, at least, is as fit as ever. Dempsey Is naturally a clean liver. Turn him out in the open and he's satisfied. If for no other reason the champion keeps himself in condition to avoid the drudgery and hard work that's necessary before an important bout. Both at Toledo and Atlantic City, Jack, frowning and snarly, was the despair of his sparring partners. He was engaged in unpleasant work and didn't try to conceal his feelings. The champion wisely figures he can reduce his final training ordeals by always keeping in form. Many times out in Los Angeles I've come across the champion doing road work and engaging in gymnasium exercises when there wasn't even a thought of making a match. The programme would be varied. One day a long tramp over the mountains with his favorite dogs or several rounds of golf around the Annandale links. The next day the more strenuous pastime of bag punching and rope Jumping. Sack in the east, meanwhile, critios were sure Jack was misbehaving. The Pennsylvania relay carnival will be held at Franklin field, Phila delphia, th last Friday and Saturday in April. These games have grown tremendously in interest and in some respects eclipse the intercollegiate championship. Early indications point to 100 col leges being represented at the Penn carnival this yeaj. There waa a time when the east monopolized honors in athletics. Recently the west hae come up to even terms with the Atlantic seaboard. One of the first colleges to enter the Penn games was the Oregon "Ag gies." There are many promising athletes out in the northwest. Bill Hayward, one of the coaches of the last Olympic team, is at the Univer sity of Oregon. Bill writes me he's coming to the Penn carnival with a pole vaulter who does close to 13 feet and who is also good for 6 feet one in the high jump. Hayward also expects to bring on a relay team that will bear a lot of attention. It Is a bashful college that hasn't offered its pet solution for profes sionalism in intercollegiate sports. Occasionally we hear something in teresting from this mass of voluntary opinions. The other day the Harvard Crimson, the college paper, let loose a broadside, of suggestions. It would abolish all post-season se lections of honorary teams, do away with unnecessary advertising of foot- The Phi JDelts, by winning the I ball games, reduce the number of in- intra-mural basketball championship, added their second championship for tV.e year, the fraternity men having won the intra-mural football cham pionship last fall by coming through the season with not a single defeat, Lewis Pins Jurka. - ' ST. LOUIS, March 13. Ed (Stran gler) Lewis, world's heavyweight champion wrestler, tonight defeated Jack Jurka of Australia, taking two straight falls with headlocks, the first in 29 minutes and 29 seconds, and the second in four minutes and five seconds. Jim Londos of Greece won from Jatindra Gobar, Hindu heavyweight, in one fall after 36 minutes and 55 seconds. Boxing Bill Signed. TRENTON. N. J., March 13. Gover nor Edwards today signed the Evans bill limiting to $15 the maximum price for a seat at a boxing exhibi tion. tersectional games and restrict the activities of coaches. If these recommendations were put into practice they'd have to play football in Utopia. ' Golf is booming in the middle west. The wheat belt will, soon be a series of links. Chicago 'has more public courses than any city in the United States. Other cities in the middle west are becoming active laying out mu nicipal courses. Western folks are approaching golf ir. the right way.

Max Glover, Pendleton light-heavy weight grappler; Ernest Olsen, Swed ish 175-pounder, and August Rudsit, ISO-pound Russian matman, are the three latest wrestlers to cast their hats into the ring in answer to Tarro Miyake's challenge to throw any three wrestlers available witnin an hour's time, at the Columbia hall, Second and Oak, Thursday ntgnt. Ad Garlock, who took up th Jiu jitsu champion's unique proposition and agreed to stage the event, has been besieged by wrestlers weighing from 150 to 250 pounds, the last week All want to be one of the three wrestlers to try and stick the hour out. These three are not the first to jump at the famous Jap grappler's offer. Others who are clamoring for a chance are Tina Eno, the giant Finn; Motorman Beenson. Portland's aspirant for heavyweight nonors Moose Norbeck and an Austrian wrestler who's name is easier said than done, and several others of more or less note. Garlock is giving all the athletes the once over daily and will send the three best against Miyake Thursday night.' All are good catch-aa-catch can men but that style will be of little avail to them against the yellow peril. They will have to wrestle with the jacket on a la jiu jitsu and protect themselves the best they can Nothing will be barred. Out of the lot several have had experience in jiu jitsu wrestling and naturally these men would have the best chance of standing Miyake off. Miyake is letting Garlock do all of the picking. He agreed to throw any three men Garlock could dig up, regardless of what reputation they might have or how formidable they might be. There is also no weight limit. Miyake will scale around 175 pounds while some of his would-be opponents hit above the 225-pound mark. The' main preliminary will find Louis Pergantes, the Greek light heavyweight, meeting Paul Kentiy of Omaha, Neb., the wrestling center of the country. Kenny recently gave Eli Lux a tough match and will be in much better condition for Per gantes than he was for Lux. ALL-STATE HOOPERS CHOSEN Wrlnner of Idaho High SchoolTtace Fares Badly In Lineups.
