DEBATE AROUSES ANGER Prcsly Calls Opponents of Boxing Game Mollycoddles Xlchols Re torts by Saying All Profes sional Sports Are Crooked. OLYMPIA. Wash., March 1. (Spe cial.) The perquisites of the bell-hop and the Pullman -porter are In positive danger In this state. The Senate today after adopting antl-tipplng- eeetlons passed the criminal code with its 448 sections by a vote of 32 to 7. In addition to tacking: on the anti tipping features, the Senate did other things to the code. It refused to sanc tion the provision permitting six-round boxing contests and added several sec tions which are designed to abolish the manufacture or sale of rectified, blended or irnpropsrly agred spirituous liquors. It reconsidered Its action of Saturday, when It placed an amendment In the code that would have made it unlawful to admit women to restaurants where liquors are sold and changed the prohibition so It applies only to drinking saloons and con cert or dance 'halls where liquors are sold. The Senate agrain sanctioned the so cial game of draw, when played In private residences or apartments be tween the host and invited guests. To allay the alarm of some of the puritans of the Senate, the bill was amended so that such Raines although played for stakes, must be for "amusement." But still It did not satisfy a number of the Senators and the exemption caused six of them to vote against the code on Anal passage. Discussion over amendments at times errew acrimonious. On one occasion Presby, of Klickitat, attempted to In clude In the mollycoddle c'ass those opposed to the six-round boxing con test, which brought from Nichols, of King, the sweeping assertion that all professional sports are crooked. It required two and one-half days of solid work for the Senate to dispose of the code. It was oruered Imme diately transmitted to the House, where It probably will not be reached before Wednesday. UtEXCH'S- REMARKS SPIRITED IClark County Solon Objects to Yakima Fair Deficiency. OLTMPIA, Wash., March 1. (Special.) e The State Fair deficiency appropriation Again raised the local option storm in the (House when it was brought up for final action today. In spite of a bitter attack 4y French, of Clark County, the bill passed, 67 to 13, the absent members 'numbering 26. French charged that local option mem 4ers had told him that they were op posed to the fair bill and other deficien cies, but had apparently been whipped into line. "I have supported the local option Issue," he said, "and in doing so supposed it was along the line of reform. You will fail to convince me or the peo ple you represent that In order to get local option we must give our support to a measure so victoua as this. Must we. In order to pass1 a local option bill, itack on all the deficiencies and schemes to plunder the public treasury?" The bill appropriates ttO.699 and this is the measure which the Speaker rescued Saturday, after declaring that the lib erals were trying to use the fair bill to xrlub him into line on local option. Defi ciency appropriations this session have totalled $!.000. 0. A. C. TEAM RUNS AWAY CLUBMEN 1VTX LADYLIKE BAS KETBALL CONTEST. Farmers Go Down Before Doughty Multnomah Five by Score of 6 to 18. He who fight and runs away Shalt live to fight another flay. Because they played with a belief In this adage, the Oregon Agricultural Col lege basketball players were defeated 3ast night by Multnomah Club quint 26 to 13. Whenever" the ball was at any 'end of the "gym" floor It could be depended on that at least four of the "Agrics" were out of reach, at the other end. In deed they handled the ball so little that tliey srored only two field goals. The first half was played In a pretty, ladylike manner, neither team exerting Itself, for fear of hurting the feelings of Its opponents, and although the half ended 11 to 4 In favor of the clubmen, the O. A. C. boys could have had the same had they thrown a little spirit Into It. They did make an attempt in the second half when Pugh made a basket, but there was nothing to it; Morris, as center, tipped the ball to Fischer, who passed to Dent, the latter lifting a pretty basket. Such a prompt reply to their touch of spirit was almost fatal to the "farmers." They went to sleep and did riot wake again till one minute of time. But It was then too late The visitors did have one star who little Kid Horton. who made one bas ket and got the rest of the points left out of foul throws. In dribbling and passing he was superb and had the rest or the team given him adequate sup port there might have been another ending to the story. Moore and Pugh were good in spots, but for the balance they would have formed an effective basis for a Junior team. ' Ient and Fischer shone, as usual for the clubmen, but the whole team played a well-sustained game. Had there been Just a little more "draw" to it -they might have raised the score a dozen points. There were quite a few fouls called, about equally divided and well deserved. Barton and Allen held some what and the rest of fouls were for run ning and rough work. There should be congratulations passed to Jim Mackie, who did quite the cleanest work with the whistle seen on any floor this season. The line-up follows: M. A. A.

JEFF WILLING 10 FIGHT IF- MATCH WITH JOIIXSOX HANX3S ON GETTING IX CONDITION. Ready to Fight. If Can do Himself Justice In Excellent Condi tion, but Heavy. CHICAGO, March 1. "I will fight Jack Johnson for the heavyweight championship of the world. If I am able to get Into condition to do myself Jus tice," said James J. Jeffries, who stopped off on his way to New York today. "The story from Omaha that t said I would fight Johnson as soon as I fin ished my vaudeville engagement Is not true," continued Jen. "I never have said definitely I would fight Johnson, and I am not ready to do so now. My future depends on my ability to get into condition, and I am not certain yet whether I will be able to do my self Justice If I return to the ring. 1 must have more time to analyze my condition before I will make any defi nite answer."

PORTLAND GOOD BALL CITY J Will Not Be Lost to Coasters, Al though All-Pacific Coast League Is Impossibility Until Outsider Can Bo at Head. BY W. J. PETRAIN. A few days ago Hyland L. Beggerly, porting editor of a San Francisco even ing newspaper, volunteered the informa tion to the readers of his paper that the Pacific Coast League was making a seri ous mistake by allowing Portland to en ter the Northwestern League and sound ed the warning that It meant the loss of this city to the Coasters In the future. A few days later he came out with an other story to the effect that the outlaw California State League was becoming exceedingly dangerous. Unfortunately for fandom along the Pacific Coast there are too many people who take Mr. Beg gerly seriously on these topics. In the first place, he Is closely related to the president of the California (outlaw) State League and would naturally claim all he could for that organization. In the sec ond place, ne can see no further than San Francisco In becoming an authority on what is going to happen, yet at that ho Is not on record as having predicted the recent earthquake. But that has nothing to do with baseball. If the Pacific Coast League has made a mistake in allowing the McCredies to place a Northwestern team in Portland, it has also repeatedly made the same mistake in allowing San Francisco to ac quire the control of the Oakland club and thus enjoy continuous baseball. In addition. It has further aggravated this mistake by allowing Henry Berry and his associates to acquire an additional baseball club for Los Angeles In order that Los Angeles may also enjoy con tinuous baseball. Yet Mr. Baggerly, whose baseball lore Is cited as authorita tive in some quarters, does not think continuous ball for San Francisco and Los Angeles harmful. Why? Simply be cause J. Cal Ev.-ing and the California crowd owns and controls practically the entire set of California clubs comprising the Pacific Coast League, and he himself is directly Interested in the California State League. Portland Believes In McCredio. Here In Portland the baseball fans have confidence In the McCreaies. Fur thermore, the McCredies have proved themselves amply able to uphold their own In contest with the Calif ornians. and by having two leagues represented In Portland, the fans here areaccorded the opportunity of seeing 12 clubs In action instead of six. as is the case In Cali fornia. Because Judge W. w. McCredte was foxy enough to outgeneral the Cali fornlans In this respect. Brother Bag gerly wishes to throw cold water on the proposition by predicting the loss of Portland to the Coast organization. He knows better than to predict that con tinuous baseball will prove a failure in Portland, because Portland is as good if not a better baseball town than is San Francisco. As far as the Pacific Coast League is concerned, Portland Is not lost to that organization, nor wfll it be for at least another season heKide the coming one. Portland will enjoy two baseball teams in 1909 and 5J10, and after that It Is more than likely an all-Pacific Coast League, extending from Spokane to Los Angeles, will be organized, though this will be contingent absolutely on tho elimination of a Californian at the head of the league. Had J. Cal Ewlng and Henry Berry showed the slightest inclination to accept the proposition made by Dugdale and other Northwestern magnates to choose a chief executive from any other part of the country, and one who would have absolutely no connection" In a finan cial way with the California clubs, an all-Paelfic Coast League would now have bpen the result. But California-like. J. Cal and Angeleno Helney wished to hog the whole show, as well as the offices, and the Seattle fat man naturally could not see bright prospects for his Invest ment. Dugdale is not In Seattle baseball for fun. Dug likes money, and is in a position to make money, therefore he proved himself wise In looking out for his end by refusing the overtures unless the way was paved for an outsider to head the organization. Outsider Needed to Head League. That Dugdale is right as to his con tentions was satisfactorily proven to the w-riter last Summer when two of J. Cal Ewlng's umpires, who were appointed about the latter part of the season, anx iously Inquired whether or not "Kid" Mohler's protests were listened to at 'headquarters." meaning Ewtng. As a matter of fact, whatever Kid Mohler or anyone connected with the San Fran cisco Club says or whispers into Swing's ear carries more weight than the testi mony of all the friends of the umpires In the league. The reason for this Is plainly apparent. In the fact that the president of the league is heavily Inter ested financially in the San Francisco and Oakland clubs. Unless new tactics are shown decisively by Mr. Ew-ing, he and his umpires can be prepared for some red-hot receptions in Portland this Summer. In this city, wher fairness predominates, we do not want any um plres who, through their lack of con- THIS SPLENDID STOMACH TONIC WILL CURE YOU OF INDIGESTION Eat.

To say the least, the umpires selected by J. Cal this season, with the exception of McGreevy, about whom we know nothing, are pliable In the ex treme. When the Pacific Coast League gets the idea that an outsider is needed to head it, then it will become a baseball league In which all teams have a chance. Un til then it will be a constant struggle for Walter McCredie to secure even 10 per cent of an even break in matters base ball, whether on the diamond or off. Mr. Baggerly realizes this as well as anyone else, but he would rather have the other impression sent broadcast.
