THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX. PORTLAND. FEBRUARY S. tOU. PROPOSED TENNIS CHANGE NOT LIKED Local Players Favor Paying Expenses of Visitors at Club Tournament. F. V. ANDREWS INTERESTED Portia ud Devotee of Game Does Xot Think Fnrcness of Amateur Sport Is Affected "Xew Service" IMan Is Hit. While Portland tennis fans are rather far removed from tne storm which Is centering about the new amateur ten nis rule, the changes re of interest to local players because the attendance of practically any tournament outside of the state will bring about questions under the proposed alterations. The rules committee of the American Lawn Tennis Association meets at the Hotel Astor in New York on Febru ary 13. The proposed rule is one designed to make tennis a more pure sport con cerning amateurism. Formerly It has been the custom of many clubs to pay all the traveling and hotel expenses of some visiting star. This has often been done in the Northwest. Where a club was particu larly desirous of having .some Cali fornia star appear In the tournament, the man was sent an Invitation to at tend, the bid carrying with it the offer of expenses. These were often paid, but in this the local men can see no harm, tiame Would Suffer, They Say. They figure, as have prominent ten nis men of other cities, that it is class discrimination and that it will make tennis the game of the idle rich. The measure was framed, not so much against the private clubs as Rgalnst the hotels and Summer resorts, which make a practice of staging in vitational tournaments. In many of these places the stars re ceive their board and room free, and sometimes their fare is paid. Where an organized club controls this, the tennis men see no harm. However in the distinction lies the trouble. "Of course we all like to see tennis kept a pure amateur sport, but I can not see that this will help." said Fred Andrews, a prominent Portland player, yesterday. "If the rule is designed to eliminate all expenses it will hurt the game, for more of tho men will become truly professional and it will be a drawback to many of those who would otherwise become amateur stars. Trunin Players Agalnnt Move. "Oregon and Washington are not, af fected by this in any great way, but the tennis men on the whole seem to be against any move of that kind, as near as I can make out." The proposed change in "the service" originated on the other side of the At lantic and will probably be downed. "I think the English showed poor sportsmanship In advocating any rule of that kind," continued Mr. Andrews. "The trouble is that they have not the foot form of the Americans, and Mo Loughlin, Johnson and other stars gain a big advantage over them on the way they follow up on their serve. "The idea of the rule, as I make It out. is to keep the player back of the line while serving instead of rushing In on the swing." Strikes and Spares INTEREST in the Northwestern Bowl ing Congress is still at boiling point and though there has been no bub bling over it is being worked up by the Portland officers. The latest piece of good news is from Salem, from whence two and possibly three teams will enter the Congress in April. Other towns throughout the state re showing- a corresponding amount of Interest and It is safe to say that possibly 12 teams will be entered from the other cities of Oregon. Occasional reports from the cities of the North indicate great interest. As a special feature of attraction the Portland Tournament Association will hold a banquet on the last night of the congress at one of the leading hotels. This, In truth, will be a grand affair and one which alnoe will be worth the trip to town. It will repay the losers in the tournament for their attempt at the prizes. A picked team from the Multnomah Club alleys defeated the Saratoga team on the alleys of the same name by a margin of 10 pins in matches plaved t riday afternoon. The Saratoga Alleys' high thi-ee-game contest aecms to be in the hands of Chitry. His best three stands far ahead of competition. Kail has the high score of the week. The sweepstakes of the Saratoga skids were won by Edwards and Getty. Werschkul and Hare took the runner up prize. Another sweepstake contest takes place tonight. The Oresoli Alleys have been rebuilt so as to exclude drafts and ventilate the place better. This feature was ap preciated by the large class of women who turned out on the skids Friday afternoon.

Don't loft the ball. Don't play the side ball until you have mastered the center delivery. Don't bring suit against the publisher if you find,' your score or - average printed .wrong. It is possible tqrae one else has made the mistake. Don't swing- the bal more than once before delivering- it. Don't start with a Jump: ua.k ope a,nd two steps. Don't deliver the balj with the right foot in front. Don't step on or over the foul line. Don't think you can ehange the course of the ball after it has left your hand. Don't expect a "strike" everv time you hit the head pin, Don't blame the pin boys if you get a split. Don't throw away a ''spare" because you think you are entitled to a ''strike." Don't think the other fellow has all the luck. Plug away; things will change. Don't use any unnecessary motions. , Don't exert yourself. Take It easy; an accurate ball is better than a swift, wild one. Don't quit bowling , on account of a sore finger. You have other Angers on the samehand. Don't roll the ball down the alley when there Is a ball in the pit. Don't use a wide grin if- you have a small hand, or too narrow for a, big hand. Don't use chalk on your shoes; leaves the runway in bad condition for whoever follows you. Don't bend your back when deliver ing the ball. With your feet far apart and knees bent you can start the ball with little or no sound. Don't expect alley owners to change everything- to suit you. .There are others to satisfy. Don't be .superstitious 13 is a better start than 12. Don't think it necessary to be a San dow. Many lightweights bowl well. Don't .get discpuraged-r-you can learn.

TRAIN ROBBER ' IN JAIL BCD COX, O.VE OF TRIO WHO DCLU UP O.-W. TRAIN, SK.XTENCED. Under ame of AVlllIaaaa, Brigand la Sent to California Penitentiary for Six Years. Under the name of Williams. Bud Cox, identified as the leader of a gang of three robbers who held up the pas sengers on an O.-W. K. & N. train in Sullivan's Gulch last August, has been sentenced to six years' penal servitude in Stockton, Cal., for burglary. This information was received by Police De tectives Coleman and Snow yesterday and disposes of two of the band of three train robbers. "Yellow Bill" Allison, another of the trio, was shot in the getaway from tho train and the local officers believe Cox did the shooting. Williams was arrested and held in jail some time prior to his conviction, but was not identified until yesterday, when Chief Special Agent Klenlen, of the Southern Pacific, with headquarters at San Francisco, identified him from a Portland circular. Cox, according to Klenlen, admitted his identity, but not his connection with the Sullivan's Gulch robbery. His picture -Was identified locally by sev eral persons who were upon the train the night of August 19, when the train was stopped just outside the East Side yards of the O.-W. It. & X. Chief Special Agent Wood, of the O.-W. R. & N., secured the identifications. The capture of the third member of the gang has been practically given jjp by the local detective bureau. Rewards amounting to nearly $20,000 were of fered directly after the holdup, but their disposition is a matter of specu lation now. MB.

"FIELD JUDGE" IS OPTIONAL Intentional Grounding of Forward l'uss to Be Penalized Other Al terations Are Made at Short Session of Committee. NEW YORK, Feb. 7. The intercol legiate football rules committee de cided today that hereafter coaches should be barred from the side lines. This was the most radical change in the rules adopted at the meeting to day, which was one of the shortest in the committee's history. Other changes were as follows: Intentional grounding of a forward pass will be penalized by the loss of 10 yards from the point of scrimmage. When the ball from a free kick hits a goal post and bounds back into the field, the play is counted a touchback. After the teams line up the team having the ball shall not enter the neutral zone in shift' formation. A player oot of bounds when the ball is put in play penalizes his team by the loss of five yards. Under the old rule there was no penalty for this offense, the first time it was com mitted. The committee left it optional with teams to decide whether they shall have a fourth official to be known as field judge, who shall have no specific duties of his own, but act as assistant to the referee and umpire. The committee reached no decision regarding the question of distinguish ing players in games by numbers. The members concluded to observe how this plan worked out next season before making any recommendations. The rescinding of the rule which per mits one player or coach of a team to walk along the side lines of the field will necessitate the coach's remaining on the bench with the substitutes. It was decided to abolish the- obso lete rule which permitted the ball to ALL-STAR QUINTET PICKED FROM THE TEAMS OF THE PORT LAND BASKETBALL LEAGUE. ft , M!K555w (""feifi -A state 3sccrz:, f f JSu6er Goeafe.

Hanley filed suit yesterday In Circuit Court asking an annulment of marriage from John Hanley, her cousin. She charges her husband misinformed her' by telling her it was not unlawful in this state for first cousins to marry. The couple were married, Mrs. Hanley charges, in Portland last August and when sev eral months later she discovered thai such a marriage was unlawful, her husband told her he had consulted an attorney, who had advised that if they wore to go to Canada and be remar ried, their marriage would be lawful, and they could return to Portland to live. Acting on this advice, they were re married in Vancouver, B. C. she al leges, in December last year, but on their return to Portland she was In formed that their marriage was ille gal in this state. Since that time she has not lived with her husband, she says. TAX INCREASE IS DENIED Mr. Holman Tells Audience in Grange Hall Ievy Is Lower. Rufus C. Holman, County Commis sioner, in an address yesterday after noon before an audience of 200 men and women in Evening Star Grange Hall, South Mount Tabor, reviewed the work of the county and asked the co operation of every citizen. Mr. Holman denied that the county tax this year is higher. He said that for 1913 the county tax for all purposes was 5.15 mills and the present levy Is 4.15 mills. "We need the co-operation of every citizen of Portland and Multnomah County," said Commissioner Holman. "We have more than $1,000,000 to han dle this year and will welcome any suggestions that anyone may have to make." BEING REBUILT BY COACH . ALL STARS PIGKED Earl R.

Hubert Uoode, Weonaa. forward. BY KARL. R. GOODWIN. I'resldent Portland Basketball League. Although the last games of the Port land Basketball League will not be played until next Wednesday night, the victory of the Archer-Wiggins Weonaa over the Christian Brothers Business College quintet last Wednesday gave the 1914 title of tne league to the Weonas. The Weonaa have tackled the best independent teams of the city and havo outclassed them all. Hence the Weonas receive preference on the all star selection. Without a doubt the most Important position on a basketball team Is the center, for around him all play must be directed. Poling, center and cap tain of the Weonas, won place over Powers, of the Christian Brothers Busi ness College, and Elvers, of the Mc Loughlln Club, because he garnered more points than either one of his op ponents and in helping his team in teamwork he was at his best. He was made captain of this mythological quintet because he can g-ive the sig nals and be seen by both his forwards and guards. The guard positions of this team go to Kenneth Irle, of the, league cham pions, and Ray Toomey. of the Mc Loughlln Club, for without a doubt these two players are the best that any independent team In the city boasts. tm P,ayers' when playing in the Portland Interscholastic League, were chosen for the same positions on the all-star team, Irle having represented Washington High and Toomey. Lin coln High. .v.At,.present Toolney is playing with the Multnomah Club team and as a re sult he did not play the last game with the McLoughlin Club, nor will he likely play against the Christian Brothers next Wednesday night. The only other guards of the league who are worthy of honorable mention are Burger, the silent Christian Brothers player, and Applegate, of the Harri man Club. Hubert Ooode, the Weona forward, is the highest point gatherer in the league and as a forward on the writer's team he is a fixture. Through him the Weonas were able to run up a big score and the teamwork exhibited by him with Irle and Poling made several of the teams look foolish. The other for ward of the league, who has no equs.1 and who would make a good teammate for Goode, is "Ade" Sleberts, captain of the Christian Brothers Business Col lege aggregation. "Ade" has been play ing with his team for three seasons, and out of all the points scored by his players he registered more than 60 per cent. With but two weeks' practice this team could give any quintet in the state a hard run for first honors, and already plans are being made to get a game with the Multnomah Club. In this event Toomey would probably have to get replaced by Burger or Twining. The teams of the Portland Basketball League have met many of the teams of the state with good results, the Weonas not having been downed so far this season. 1 If an all-star manager were to be selected John D. Dwyer, of the Mc Laughlin Club, would be handed that honor. Only the 181S football team of Lincoln High School made so many out-of-town trips. Manager Dwyer has obtained games from all directions and during the season he has had more than 15 players represent the club. Every Saturday night has found his team traveling, and although njt al ways victorious, the team has put up the best that was in it. The fight for second place In the league will be between the McLough lin Club and the Christian Brothers Business College next Wednesday night. The Harrlman Club will play the Weonas its last game in the Young Men's Christian Association "gym" on the same evening. The Harrlman Club has been handicapped this year because of the lack of a floor on which to play, and as a result very little attention could be given to teamwork. Dorney at forward and Applegate at guard seemed .to be the two mainstays of the squad. Kcbo Athletic Club 4 8, lone 15. IONE. Or., Feb. 7. (Special.) The fast team of the. Echo Social Athletic Club won from the local basketball team here last night by a score of 48 to 15, Hoskine brothers, forward and center for the visitors, played a star game. The game was watched by a large crowd. The Echo team is one of the fastest ever seen here, and will no doubt give a good account of itself in the same with Union for the cham pionship of Eastern Oregon. Oakland Wins Last Game ot Season. OAKLAND, Qr Feb. 7. (Special.) Defeating Sutherlin High School by a score of 71 to 9, the Oakland High School basketball quintet closed their season on the local floor Friday night. Out of the six games played, two with ftoseburg, two with Sutherlin, one each with Myrtle Greek and Creswell, the local boys won three victories. SCHOOL LUNCHES URGED Idaho University Issues Bulletin Discussing Vtensils. MOSCOW, Idaho, Feb. T. (Special.) An extensive bulletin on rural school lunches has been published by the de partment of home economics of the university and is now being distributed among the country school districts of the state, The purpose of tha bulletin is to encourage the installation in rural schoolhousea of a complete equipment for the preparation of hot lunches at noon in order that every youuguter in the school may be provided with at least one hot article of food to supple ment the cold lunch which he curries from home. The hot lunch equipment, which is suggested in the bulletin, includes about 30 different utensils, the total cost of which runs but a little over $17. Among the articles is an Inexpensive kitchen table, a small oil stove, frying pans, kettles, knives, egg beaters, etc. The table can be made by the older boys in the school, while the lunch itself can be cooked by the older girls. By the use of the hot lunch equipment it is estimated that hot lunches can be served for about 2 cents per day to each boy and girl. SITE SELECTION DELAYED Auditorium Committee Kxpects to Make llcport Wednesday. Although the plan of the public audi, torium committee was to make known its selection of a site for the proposed new $600,000 public auditorium yester day, the announcement was deferred until next Wednesday. The committee, with City Commissioners Brewster and Bigelow, held an executive meeting yesterday afternoon af . the City Hall but reached no decision. According to Commissioner Brewster there is still some information the committee desires to secure before finally deciding on a site and also be fore deciding on the class of building to erect. Another meeting will be held probably Monday, when the com mittee will attempt to make a finul decision and submit its report on the site and class of building. It is known that the Market block on the West Side is being seriously considered as the site for the building. Just what other sites the committee has in view still is not known. COURT ORDERS RETRIAL Convicted Osteopath Has Case llc vcrsed "yH'gl Tribunal. BOISE, Idaho. Feb. 7. (Special.) Or. Charles C. Smith, osteopath, con victed of manslaughter in the death of Clara F. Foy, a King Hill school teach er, will be retried in the District Court for Elmore County. The Supreme Court in an opinion handed down to night reversed the conviction on the ground that the complaint against Smith was not specific enough in its charge. Smith was called in to treat Miss Foy and ordered her to fast for 10 days. On her death a coroner's jury found she had died from starvation. Smith was given a heavy penitentiary sentence.

EARLE CRABBE IS CAPTAIN Portland Boy Launches Season by Signing Up Candidates for Many Events Leader Has Record. UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Berkeley. Cal.. Feb. 7. (Special.) The 1914 track season at this institution will bring to light a team of veteran headed by Earl Crabbe, the newly elected captain. This election was necessitated by the absence of the for mer captain, Ful Wood, who has left college. Some 80 members of last year's team gathered on the track last week and, standing not 10 feet away from the spot where the famous two-mile race finished last year, elected the hero of that race as their leader. Crabbe comes from the Allen Prepar atory School of.Fortland, Or., where his athletic career started. He has run in three intercollegiate meets with Stan ford, and in each he has won the two mile race, and at the same time lowered the existing record for that event. He, with Altman, another Portland man, successfully handled the cross country championships of the P. A. A. last Fall, and at the same time cap tained the cross-country team from this institution, taking third place in the big event. During the last semester Crabbe served as president of the Bis "C" Society and managed to establish a name for his administration. Crabbe already has officially launuhe l the season by signing up candidates for the many events. Tho trac men at the University farm have responde-i and have commenced to train On their track at Davis. Membership is held by Crabbe In the societies of the Golden Beur, 'Wingeil Helmet and the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity. LOCATORS" ARE TARGET CAN ADIAN CiOVKRN MKNT UiKM' IS HKRK TO WARN LAND SKKKIiRS. J. W. t.rleve Says United Stair Allow -Locators" to tiet Kees and Misrep resent Aisainst Dominion I.nw. The immigration department of the Canadian government has adopted a Unique method of combatting tlie activities of persons, who, operating without government affiliation or sanc tion, are engaged in cities of the I'-jutcd States in selling '"locutions" on Western Canada lands and exacting a fee of $50 for the service. .1. N. Grieve, t'anadian government immigration agent, arrived in Port land yesterday, registered at the Perkins, and immediately placed ad vertisements in local newspapers an nouncing ho "will bo pletis.d to meet all parties who are interested in West ern Canada." "The so-called locators," said Mr. Grieve last night, "are making ex travagant claims. and we are con tinually receiving complaints from their clients that the lands arc- not as they were represented." Canadian law prohibits anyone from receiving a fee for locating persons on government land, but there is nothing to prevent "locators" of Canadian land from operating in the United States. "We wish that we could get at these people." said Mr. Grieve, "but there seems to be no way to du it under the laws of the United States. "We have carried an advertisement in the weekly edition of The Oregonian for years, and have received thousands of inquiries from it, resulting in many people being located on Western Cana dian lands. My presence here means that we are going to do our best to have people locate through the gov ernment direct, and not pay $60 for a location on land that is not as rep resented."

The same teams will play again Mon day and Tuesday nights. Land Owners Get Damages. Judgment for $840.26 was returned by a jury in Judge Benson's court yester day in favor of James Anderson, A. J.
