ONLY PRETEMDED AMATEUR Scheme by Which Seattle Sports Jtakpd In Portland Coin Inglis, Virtuously Indignant, Threat ens to Sever Relations. JL'N'BAU, Alaska, May 7. (Special.) Henry Croft, who was entered as a heavyweight by the Seattle Athletic Club and knocked out Ed Johnson, of the Mult nomah Club, in the Pacific Coast Amateur Championships, is the son of Charles Carroll, the veteran fighter, and is a brother of Johnny Carroll, now fighting in' the lightweight class at San Francisco. Croft fought Nick Burjcy as a profes sional in Dawson City, five years ago, los ing in the second round. He fought all over Alaska, according to Ed Russell, an authority on sporting events in Alaska the last ten years. The Juneau dispatch bears out the charge that The Oregonlan .made against Croft, that he was a professional before he was picked up and carded in the Mult nomah Club athletic tournament as an nmateur by W. Li. Inglls.' Mr. Inglis certainly must have known that Croft was a professional when he brought him to Portland, and It looks, on the face of It, that he was in on the frame-up with Joe Dizard, the Seattle cigar man who won all the money when Croft beat Ed Johnson. ' No matter who was responsible for the coup, it was well timed and cleverly played. On the night of the tournament Croft met a green boxer in Larry 'Mad den. Croft had a miserable time of it trying to fake the light, yet he did it well enough to fool a lot of honest people who were not looking for Inglls or the Seattle Athletic Club to put over a sleeper on them. It was the miserable showing that Croft put up against Mad den that made it possible for Inglis and Dlzard to get their money down, for Ed Johnson's showing against Madden was on the level, so a lot of the Multnomah Club men bet on Johnson to beat Croft, Just on the showing that both men had made in their battles with the same Madden. This play could not have come up bet ter for the Seattle sports. Dlzard and the rest of the Seattle contingent who were in the know, went to Croft's chances, hook, line and sinker, and when they saw that the local sportsmen were taking all of the money in sight, a hur ried call was sent to Seattle for more money. All told, Dlzard and Inglis and the rest of the frame-up artists carried away about $1,800. Just what action will be taken against Inglis and the Seattle Athletic Club is not known. E. K. Morgan, a member of the P. N. A. and one of the committee men, has already started an investigation and will lay the matter before President Sullivan. the Northwest by Croft that he (Croft) had once knocked McLagen down In a contest at a local gymnasium. McLaglen, to show that he means business and that he has the necessary confidence in him self to 'Whip Croft, has challenged the amateur champion to box him 20 rounds for a side bet of $500. So far Croft has not replied to the challenge. As to Croft's standing as an amateur, it is freely spoken of here and many say they have seen him box in Alaska under an assumed name. He admitted recently that he had boxed Billy Bates and Jack (Twin) Sullivan at Fairbanks. Alaska, and he also owns up to having fought with other boxers who have been known to be professionals for some time. If Croft decides to accept the challenge of McLaglen. the contest will no doubt take place in the same arena in which Abe Attell and Eddie Kelly boxed. Mc Laglen has many friends in Tacoma who will back him heavily if he and Croft come together. WITHOUT AN ERROR CARROLL- NEVER FOUGHT MI CH Only Lightweight Boxer and Xot Re membered in Alaska. SAN FRANCISCO. May 7. (Special.) Jimmy Carroll, the former well known lightweight, has a son, but he, never was anything but a lightweight boxer and never did much in that class. San Francisco people who have lived In Alaska do not recall the name of Crofts as a fighter in the heavyweight division. Seattle papers of last week, evident ly aware of the charges that bad been made, denied them and stated that Crofts is the son of a rich Tacoma business man. If the man who beat Johnson is a professional, he must be some other than the party referred to. At all events, the fact that Portland sports lost $200 on an amateur fight might have caused the stories to start. INGLIS VIRTUOUSLY ANGRY Threatens to Sever Relations With ) Multnomah Athletic Club. SEATTLE, Wash., May 7. (Special.) "The worst kind of rot" is the way the Seattle Athletic, Club officials character ize the statement that Henry Croft's real name Is Carroll and that he was a pro fessional fighter in Alaska. "Croft Joined the club a year ago last November," said Superintendent V. M. Inglis. "He didn't know a thing about boxing. All ho knows about It now ho learned from our boxing instructor, Lon nie Austin. "Croft Is an absolutely clean boy. He has no professional tendencies whatever. His parents are well and favorably known folks and their name is Croft, .not Carroll. They are known to officers and members of this club. Croft admits that he put on the gloves with Nick Burlcy Bt Daweon. He did so just as Gene West, of the Multnomah Club, says he boxed with llerrera. He never fought a match In Alaska, or, if he did, he has kept It covered up from this club. I don't see why he should ever have thought of fighting in the North, becausa when he joined this club he couldn't box a little bit. All he did with Burley was to allow Burley to hammer him around the ring a bit at Burley's training quar ters, just as any healthy youngster might. "If the Multnomah Club has any charges to prefer against Croft, it should present them to the registration commit tee and they will be sltfed to the bot tom. It should . not try to besmirch a clean young fellow through the news papers. The registration committee, is created to investigate just such matters. The Seattle Athletic Club stands square ly behind Croft, for we are satified that ly behind Croft, for we are satisfied that "I may add that, if Multnomah con tinues the course it is pursuing of cast ing odium on the athletes of this club whenever Multnomah's men are beaten, we are very apt to sever all athletic re lations with Multnomah. This has been very seriously discussed by the officers of the Seattle Athletic Club since the Portland championship bouts were held and the absolutely unwarranted Insinua tions against Croft have been made. If such things continue, the severance of athletic relations will undoubtedly be . the result." -CHALLENGE NOT YET ACCEPTED Boxer's Standing as Amateur Ques tioned in Tacoma. TACOMA, Wash.. May 7. (Special.) Lee Croft, the local amateur heavy weight boxer, who won the amateur heavyweight championship of the Pacifio Coast at the Multnomah Club's boxing and wrestling tournament, held In Port land last month, has been challenged by Vlo McLaglen, the heavy-weight boxer. McLaglen sets forth in his challenge that the story has been wafted all over HARE -AND HOUND- CONTESTS Y. M. C. A. Athletes to Hold Cross Country Runs and Paper Chases. A large number of the members of the Y. M. C. A. Interested in cross-country and track work met last night at the residence of Physical Director Grilley, East Flanders street, to discuss the formation of some organization which would handle the preparation of the men for track and cross-country running. The first proposal put before the meet ing was that an athletic club ba formed FRED "BULL" PERRIE. s s f a i) f t - 1 L f: rV? ' " i ' ' I'nelflc Coast I.eHRue Imptre Who Is Doing Splendid Work Thia Season. to handle all forms of athletics at the association, but for various reasons this plan was shown to be unreasonable. Vosper drew attention to the transient r.aturo of much of the Y. M. C. A. mem bership and pointed out that this would militate against the lasting ..success of such a club. Director Grilley thought that it 'would be advieable for somebody to organize and create interest in hara and hound contests and in paperchases. He said that there are too many mem bers anxious to get all they can out of the association and what is wanted is to create a general interest purely for the sake of the sport involved, and not in order to pander to the pot-hunter. C. Vosper moved and Himes seconded "that this gathering elect a committee which will give special attention to cross-country running and relay work and that such committee consist of a chairman and four other members." On the question being put the motion was carried. On a ballot to form the commit tee the following members were elected: V. We.tterborg, W. Backus, Laii, Keys and Himes. On the committee ballot ing for a chairman Wetterborg was elected by an almost unanimous vote. Taking up their duties immediately, the committee discussed the formation of training table regime and the methods by which it could be adopted at the T. M. C. A. Following this it was decided to hold the first paperchase Saturday, May 16, when Wetterborg and Cartozian, both of relay race fame, will be the hares and Himes will captain the hounds, the start being from Fourth and Yamhill at 6:30. On the motion of the chairman, Mrs. Grilley was added to the committee as an advisory board on the question of a training table, and the adjournment was made at a late hour.

Seattle won a game today that was in doubt till the ninth inning had been played. Carson lost yesterday for Ta coma, but thought he could do better today and went in. Seattle hit him freely, but he got out of several tight holes successfully. Ross' two-bagger and a'n error gave Seattle a run in the first. Tacoma tied It In the third, when Frisk dropped a fly and scored two in the fourth on Kellacky's home run and two singles. Seattle got to Carson hard in the fifth, netting three runs. Burnett's single and Kellacky's three-bajrger tied the score again in the eighth, but in Seattle's half Ham mond's single, Dudley's sacrifice and Cahill's drive brought in the winning run. The score.

Thus far they haven't expressed my sense of outrage by sev eral degrees. It is bad enough to sit and see Portland go to pieces like a pack of Teddy Bears, before the beau tiful work of the Frisco boys, without having to put up with glimmers of the game caught between the legs of the big duffers who spoil our view. That sort of thing would not be tolerated in any city in Wisconsin. L. B. RING. Relay Race, New York to Chicago. NEW YORK. May 7. The Y. M. C.

The game was not called off until the last moment. In order to catch up with the schedule.

Sporting World BY WILL G. MAC RAE. CAN FRANCISCO fight fans should do k3 one of two things, either insist that Abe Attell meet Owen Moran. or can him out of the fighting game. The greedy fight promoter should also come in for a trip to the down-and-outers. If Stanley Ketchel beats Jack (Twin) Sullivan on Saturday afternoon he is go ing after Tommy Burns. Ketchel is grow ing so fast that he has trouble making im pounas. t . Babe Danzig lost his batting eye gazln with admiration at Mount Shasta. In two games he hasn't hit one out safe. Al Dobsen. formerly a San Francisco newspaper man and race horse owner. passed through Portland yesterday on his way to British Columbia. Dobsen will conduct a series of 18 race meetings this bummer.

Billy Bloomfield and Chief Pln- nance woke up yesterday morning to find a yellow flag floating from the house next door. After having themselves ftimi gated they stampeded for a new place of lodging. There'll be a candidate for the screw' factory at Salem pretty soon if "Dr. Cox" Raftery doesn't get to hitting. The man from Boston is sure worrying a lot these days. Abe Attell and young Sullivan, and the fight promoters all should be arrested for obtaining money under false pretenses for the Tecent fake they pulled off. Such a rank deal is nothing short of robbery. . Captain Mohler stood talking to a fan Tuesday afternoon before the game when a man stopped, and after eyeing Mohler for awhile he said: "Is this Er nest Mohler?" The Kid very promptly said, "Yes." and then the stranger said: "Why I knew you 22 years ago when you played ball in Nebraska City." Captain Mohler nearly collapsed. AT THE- HOTELS. Hotel Portlands A.

He admitted that coffee dis agreed with him, but you know how the coffee drinker will hold on to his coffee, even if he knows it causes dys pepsia. "One day he said to me that Postum Food Coffee had been recommended and suggested that he would like very much to try It. I secured a package and made it strictly according to directions. He was delighted with the new beverage, as was every one of our family. He became very fond of It and In a short time his dyspepsia disappeared. He continued using the Postum and in- about three months gained twelve pounds. "My husband is a practising physi cian md regards Postum as most healthful of all beverages.
