Murphy Comes Out in Favor of
Ward for Baseball
President.
HERRMANN BACKS HEYDLER
Cincinnati Man, Chairman National
Commission, Opposes Ward.
Anson "Would Be Candi
date it Necessary."
NEW YORK. Dec. 10. Charles W.
Murphy, president of the Chicago Na
tional League Club, arrived In New
York today with the announcement
that he was in favor of John W. Ward
as president of the National League for
1910.
Mr. Murphy said that he had nothing
against John Ileydler, the present pres
ident, but that he considered Ward the
right man for the position. Murphy
looks for the National League mag
nates, -whose meeting is only four days
away, to wind up their business
quickly.
lie thinks that a president will be
elected on the first ballot. He denies
that Chicago capital va's behind the
recent sale of the Philadelphia Na
tionals, and says, so far as he knows,
the new owners of the Philadelphia
clu,b have not pledged themselves to
vote for either of the present candi
dates Heyd'er or Ward.
Murphy and Garry Herrmann, of Cin
cinnati, chairman of the national com
mission, are the only out-of-town club
owners who have arrived. Herrmann
Is a strong advocate of the re-election
of Heydler and says that his candidate
will be retained in oflice.
Adrian C. Anson, former manager of
the Chicago Nationals, conferred today
with Herrmann relative to the chances
he had of being selected as a compro
mise candidate.
Herrmann told him that he would
vote for Ileydler even If seven other
ballots were cast for Ward, and that
the Herrmann-Dreyfus faction of the
National League would not consider
the question of a compromise candidate.
COLLEGES FRAME SCHEDTI-E
Conference Leaders Will Arrange for
Baseball Series.
OREGON AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE
Corvallis, Dec. 10. (Special.) Representa
tives of all of the Northwest conference
colleges will meet at the Oregon Hotel in
Portland tomorrow to make up a baseball
schedule for the coming season.
Director Angellt of Oregon Agricultural
College, at whose suggestion the meet
ing was 'called, expresses the opinion
that the action will advance collegiate
baseball more than anything that has
been done by -the conference. It . has
been the custom In the past for the
colleges to work out their schedules in
dependently, with the result that there
has b!"cn very little intercollegiate base
hall. Last year Oregon Agricultural Col
lege ajid the University of Oregon played
only one conference college on their -local
grounds', while the University of Washi
ngton did not have a conference team
in Seattle.
A schedule will in all probability be ar
ranged this year which will make it pos
sible for each of the six conference col
leges to hold a baseball contest on its
local field with teams representing each
of the other schools. This will give each
Institution from five to ten conference
games.

ketball by Big Score.
Tim basketball team representing the
Oregon Brigade staff of the United Boys
Brigade of America defeated the Dia
monds of Sellwood by the score of 30 to

larger score would have been rolled
up if the officers had played In their usual
form. The Diamonds were outweighed
about 15 pojnds to the man and their op
ponents towered head and shoulders above

playing on a poor floor -and one with

PORTLAND BOXERS LOSE
SPOKANE BOY'S DEFEAT MULT
NOMAH CLUB ATHLETES.
With House Crowded to Suffocation,
Mat and Mitt Artists Go
to Finishes.
SPOKANE. Wash.. Dec. 10. (Special.)
The Spokane Amateur Athletic Club
quartet made a clean sweep of the box
ing and wrestling bouts with the lads
from the Multnomah Club of Portland
before a house packed to suffocation to
night. In one instance only was there any
material question over the Spokane vic
tory, although the Multnomah men com
plained over two decisions in one wrest
ling event. The Hughes-Tunny 105-pound
boxing bout, the stellar event, called
for a hairline decision, and it might have
been just as well to have asked for a.
fourth round.
The programme was longer than usual,
no less than seven preliminary events
preceding the four main "bouts. The last
seat was sold before 8 o clock and stand
ing room was sold to 200 more. Prob
ably better than 1200 persons saw the
events, the biggest crowd that ever at
tended any function at the club.
George Brechin, the club's unbeaten
135-pound wrestler, ran into the hardest
game of his career in H. M. Mose, the
Portola amateur champion. Brechin
scored .a quick fall in the first bout, lift
ing his man bodily and hurling him to
the floor. The second fall, attained after
13 minutes of superb wrestling, was in
the nature of a fluke.
Chris Gesek gave away 13 pounds of
weight to Ernest Vinson, the Multnomah
deaf mute. He had the lead all the way,
and worked hard for a fall, but the si
lent, shock-haired boy broke hold after
hold. Gesek got both falls on aggres
siveness. Joe Tunny, formerly of Aberdeen, who
won the 105-pound championship at the
P. N". A. meet at Seattle last June found
the slipperiest little customer Imaginable
la "Red" Hughes. Tunny had the ad
vantage in age, experience, reach and
height, and Hughes earned the little
edge shown by the Judges.
Donald Numbers was six and a half
pounds overweight, and forfeited the
medal and the event to the Spokane Club,
but Tom Kelly won It easily anyway.
Numbers was outclassed.
RACERS LOSE INTEREST
LISTLESS AND LAGGARD RIDING
IX 6-DAY BICYCLE GO.
STORY IS SHOCKING
Clark Would Refuse to Print
White Slave Report.
TRAFFIC . IS ON INCREASE
Ofrer or $100 to Team Gaining Lap
Before Midnight Puts New
Life Into CyclUts.
NEW YORK. Dec. 10. The fatigue of
desperate sprinting in the six-day bicycle
race earlier in the week showed itself to
day and tonight in listless and laggard
riding.
From a position at orte time more than
20 miles in advance of the record, the
leaders dropped steadily to the rear, and
at 10 o'clock tonight were 39.5 miles be
hind the mark for the corresponding hour
& 3'car ago.
At one time this1 afternoon all ten re
maining teams of the 19 starters were
within one lap of even terms, but the
failure of Tawrence, whose weakened
knees forced him to quit under the doc
tor's orders, and an accident to Pye, -who
broke a collar bone in a spill, compelled
a retirement. Halstead and Hehlr, the
surviving partners, combined as a re
constructed team and took the penalty
of one lap Imposed by the rules.
An offer of J100 to the team gaining a
lap before midnight put new life into the
riders, and jAndcrson-Vanonl, In a vain
effort to steal distance on the leaders,
started a sprint that cost the Oeorgct
brothers a lap. The same team played
a pretty trick an hour later.
Vanoni came out to relieve Anderson,
apparently, and stayed in the rear while
Anderson rode to the front and passed
on at a good sprint. Thinking him oft the
track, tho field did not pursue, and by
the time they had waked up he was
around and had turned over to Vanoni.
By-this trick the Georget brothers lost
another lap, and at 11 o'clock the Bcore
was:
Rutt-Clark. Root-Fogler, Walthour-Col-lins.
Hill-Stein, Anderson-Vanonl, 2264.9;
Halstead-Hehir, Lawson-Demara. Mitten
West. 2264.8: Georget-Georget, 2264.7. The
record for the 119th hour is 2304.7, made
by Demara and Hill last year.

TACOMA. "Wash., Dec. 10. (Special.)
Pete McVeigh, the Seattle Athletic Club
boxer who holds the amateur champion
ship of the Northwest. fought Louie
Iiong, the veteran, to a seven-round draw
here tonight in his professional debut.
McVeign had a shade the better of
the mill, but hardly enough to deserve a
decision. He did most of the leading
and landed the most punches, but prac
tically all of them were partially blocked.
The match was extended one round in
the hope of getting a decision.
Lee Croft, of Tacoma. who two years
ago won the amateur heavyweight cham
pionship of the Pacific Coast, made his
first professional appearance tonight,
knocking out Ben Knutsen, of Tacoma, in
the first mmtte of the first round. Se
attle and Tacoma fight fans jpacked Ger

by the Ruston Athletic Club.

Commssion Includes Portland in Pa
cific Coast Cities as Point of
. Entry for Women Who Are
Brought From Orient.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. All but in
credibly revolting are- disclosures of an
International system of traffic in both
the enforced and voluntary degradation
of men and women- contained in the re
port on the so-called "white slave" trade
submitted to Congress today by the Uni
ted States Immigration Commission.
Shocking as is the tale of voluntary
shame told in the report. Immensely more
so is the setting forth of well-attested"
facts as to the compulsory consignment
of innocent Immigrant girls to an immoral
life. -
Much of the Bubject matter of today's
report was covered by the Commission
in its 1400-page preliminary report pub
lished and widely discussed a year ago.
Today's report Is briefer. Containing only
60 pages, and a large part of it is un
suitable for newspaper publication.
Clark Objects to Printing.
When the report was presented In the
House today by Congressman Bennett, of
New York. Champ Clark, minority leader,
objected to Its being printed as a House
document, but later withdrew his objec
tion. The Commission says that the effect of
the importation of immoral women into
this country is one of increased degrada
tion and death of the women and of con
tamination by disease for those with
whom thev come into contact.
The Commission says the immoral traf
fic is not confined entirely to women,
but H is clear there is a beginning, at any
rate, of a traffic in men and boys for
immoral purposes.
"The vilest practices," the report con
tinues, "are brought here from Conti
nental Europe and, beyond doubt, there
has come from imported women and
their men the most bestial refinements
of depravity."
The committee, in describing the man
ner of its investigations, recounts the ex
periences of many of its agents. In
some cases they were attacked and
beaten, and actual murder was narrowly
averted.
No statistics are given In the report,
though the extent of the "white slave
traffic" is characterized as country
wide. Most of the women, it Is said,
come by the way of New York, San
Francisco, Portland and Seattle, although
many are coming lately by way of Can
ada. Frequently they are brought into
the United States as the wives or sis
ters of their procurers in order to pass
the Immigration officials.
Condition of Victim Pitiful,
The exploitation of these women, after
their arrival In the United States, is
characterized In the report as "most pit
iful for the women and most brutal on
the part of the men. . Not only the Inno
cent and betrayed young girls, but also
the more experienced women are made
the victims of" virtual slavery."
The Importations come from all coun
tries, France leading and the Chinese and
Japanese making up the majority of those
coming in by the way of the Pacific
Coast. Most of the procurers are of for
eign birth. The "market" pries varies
from toOO to J1000 for each alien woman.
Sometimes they are sold outright, but
their procurers continue to live from
their earnings after their arrival here.
Plan of Campaign Outlined.
The commission recommends that ef
forts be made through Government agents
abroad and on board steamships to pre
vent the importation of women to this
country; that more assiduous efforts be
made in the United States to arrest wom
en known to be engaged in immoral prac
tices, and to deport all possible; that the
limit of three years after landing within
which such persons may be successfully
prosecuted be removed; that any deported
person returning to this country be im
prisoned; that keepers of immoral houses
in which alien women are found be sub
ject to deportation, and that state and
municipal governments be urged to co
operate in stamping out the evil.

schedule so as to have the train for this

BOXER ENJOYED SNOW
CALIFORNIA BOY HATES TO SEE
"WHITE BLANKET" GO.
Born and Raised In Southern State,
Jockey Bennett Was Not Used
to Ileal Snow Underfoot.
While most of the citizens of Portland
gladly welcome, the departure of the
snow and slush, there is one little chap
here who sincerely regrets the "chlnook"
which caused the banishment of the fleecy
stuff. This is Jockey Bennett, the clever
little California boxer who Is to appear
before the Oregon Athletic Club in a
match with Jimmy Carroll, ' of Oakland,
on December 21, for Bennett, being a
native Californlan, and hailing from the
southern part of the golden state, had
never seen snow except on mountain tops
and from a distance before.
. During the period when the snow was
falling and the east wind blowing coldly,
"Jockey" Bennett kept up his training
stunts . and went on the road for runs
each day despite the drifts and cold wind.
He seemed to like it and would not
think of calling oft his stunts for any
thing: Bennett recently appeared before the
Rose City Club In an exhibition bout with
Freddie Couture, and his showing at that
time was so good that the Oregon Ath
letic Club Immediately decided he would be
acceptable as one of the principals In the
card this club plans to 'stage one week
from next Tuesday. Jimmy Carroll, one
of the cleverest little men In California,
comes north as his opponent. Carroll en-

fastest boys about San Francisco Bay,
and he will undoubtedly put op's, rattling
exhibition with Bennett. The two lads
have met before in California, and the
referee at that time was unable to decide
between them, so evenly were they
matched, and that afTair went 20 rounds.
Aside from the Bennett-Carroll bout
the Oregon Club has signed Frankle Ed
wards as one of the principals In the
other-match, and Louie Long la figured
on as a possible opponent to the crack
youngster who has come to the front so
rapidly.

COLLEGE MEN TO CONFER
BASEBALL LEAGUE TO BE OK
GAXIZED IX NORTHWEST.
Each Team to Play Equal Number of
Games With Each' Other and
Champion Named.
E. D. Angell, manager of athletics at
the Oregon Agricultural College, came to
Portland last night to prepare for the
baseball conference among the managers
of the six Northwestern conference col
leges. The other delegates are as fol
lows: Victor Zednick. University of
Washington; John Jones, Washington
State College; H. G. Walker, University
of Idaho; B. Jamieson. University of Ore
gon, and H. Davenny, Whitman College,
all of whom will reach Portland this
mornLng.
This afternoon the conference will meet
at the Oregon Hotel, where the iproposi
tion of arranging . an intercollegiate se
ries of baseball games during the coming
season will be discussed and undoubtedly
adopted. The object Is to adopt a base
ball schedule which will provide for an
equal number of games to be played be
tween each two of the conference insti
tutions. This will permit of a champion
ship decision on a percentage basis, such
as Is done among professional leagues.
In the past the championships in base
ball have rarely been definitely settled,
because of the failure to schedule games
between rival claimants.
