HANDBALLTDURNEY Portland Academy and Lincoln High First Off in Basket ball Series. PLAYERS ARE IN DISPUTE Decision That Term Ends at Xoon February 4, Qualifies Runyan for Afternoon Contest Eliglbility of Others Is Questioned. The 1910 season of the Portland In terecholastic Basketball League will open next Wednesday night with a game at the Portland Academy gym nasium between Portland Academy and Lincoln High School. This game is looked forward to with considerable Interest by the members of all the school teams and basketball fans of the city, for the reason that.it will give a general line on the com parative strength of the lnterscholastlc teams, and afford the other three teams of the league an opportunity to see what they will have to meet. The team's have been spending the last few. days in putting an edge on their ability to pass and throw baskets accurately, and have dispensed with practice games. Both the Lincoln and the Portland Academy teams are re ported ready for a strenuous game, and each confidently expects to win. Runyan Will Not Play. . -R.von tho T A. center, will not be Allowed to enter in the game, and the P. A. boys will be weakened somewhat on this accourft. Norrts, however, is v-r.otpH to make a fairly good substi tute, and at any rate the boys expect to win the game on their team work and the ability of the forwards to Ihrnv baskets. Dr. J. R. Wilson, principal of the PnrtlnnH Arademv. with whom the question of Runyan's eligibility to play In the game on February 4, with Allsn Preparatory School, was left by the in-tet-of-hnldfslli- athletic committee, has rlonlded that the first term of school tnds at noon on February 4, and that Runyan therefore should be allowed to play that afternoon. Runyan last year Dlaved with the Lincoln High team, and hence is not eligible to compete on any other school. team until he lias been in that institution one term. The eligibility of the present mem bers of the Lincoln High team to play In the lnterscholastlc. games has been placed in doubt by a report that they participated two weeks ago under the name of the Portland Y. M. C. A. in a game with the Salem Y. M. C. A. This subject was discussed by the inter scholastic athletic committee in a meet ing last Friday afternoon, and the 're sult was that the secretary, James Bach, of Columbia University, was in structed to write to Physical Director Carter, of the Salem Y. M. C. A., to ascertain the truth. The action of the lnterscholastlc committee depends, on Carter's answer. Ixe Tenles Report. There apparently is no reason why the Lincoln High players should wish to assume the Y. M. C A. title, because they were aware that this would bar them from participating In the inter scholastic games. Arrangements were made for the boys to play under the name of the Lincoln High School, and Assistant Physical Director Lee, of the Portland Y. M. C. A., who is coach o the team, asserts that this Is what they did, and that the newspaper report fror. Salem was Antrue. It now remains to be seen whether Carter will substan tlate Lee's statements. If the Lincoln High team should be barred under this rule, it is expected also that Compton, Hays and Shaver, TRACEV BLOCKS BENEFIT PLAN Ex-Champion Welterweight bays He's Able to Get Along Yet Awhile Some old-time, friends of Tommy Tracey started an agitation yesterday to cri vp h. benefit for the veteran welter weight, who once was the champion of the world, but Tommy, while he wishes to thank his friends for their interest in his behalf, does not appreciate the idea at all and claims he does not need a benefit. 'Do I look as though I needed a benefit?" said Tommy last night. I have a nice little business and I man age to eat three squares a day ana have so far been able to clothe my wife and myself. No, I don't want a benefit. but I wish you would thank the boys for me. It will be time enough when get old and am ' down and o'ut to think of such things, but just at pres ent Tommy Tracey is able to get along very nicely In his own way." Teams From Y. M. C.

PIRATES' TRIAL'DUE TODAY Burke and Feran Must Answer Sev eral Serious Charges. 1 George Burke and "George Feran, the river pirates who were caught with two stolen launches and thousands of dollars' worth of loot by Constable Wagner, were arriagned yesterday in the Justice Court and charged with larceny. They asked for time to secure attorneys and a date for their hearing will be set today. That they may not only have to face enlarges of burglary and larceny, but also one of a more serious nature, that of endangering the lives of a tralnload of people by interfering with and carry ing away a block signal apparatus from the O. R. & N. Railroad, was brought out yesterday by the finding among the stolen property of a complete out fit of a semlphore which was taken from Oneonta, a station-28 miles east of Portland on the O. R. & N. Railroad, last October. Railroad officers identified the elec trical relays and the signal motors yes terday. At the time of this theft the line was left open, the lights set to show a clear track. Had there been a train stalled in the next block system ahead the passenger train which next passed this place would have collided and caused a serious wreck. The matter was laid before Deputy District At torney Fitzgerald yesterday and it is considered probable that a statute will be found covering this feature of the case. v In a talk yesterday with Constable Wagner, Feran maintained that he had not known Burke prior to the - time when the two went up to the Cascade Locks, but this statement is doubted He alsewsays that Burke made the sug gestion that they steal a boat on the lower part of the' Columbia and denies that he had anything to do with the thefts of the stolen property found in their possession.

FAN DOM AT RANDOM BY W. J. PETilAIK. Dannv Webster, holder of the McCarey diamond belt for the bantom weight championship of the world, will begin "working out at the Policemen's gymnas ium tomorrow afternoon. ' As late as Sunday the, San Francisco scribes had not awakened to the fact that James J. Jeffries and his big show had cut out the Bay City entirely. While it Is possible Jeff may show in San Francisco later, he won't for several weeks, for he Is booked from Portland north, and from Seattle and Spokane he travels to St. Paul. Such a schedule will take him far from San Francisco, so if the Southern bugs set their lamps on Jeff before March, they will be lucky. Frankie Conley, who is matched with Webster for a ten-round exhibition here on Febraruy 3, worked out before another large crowd at Tommy Tracey's gym yesterday. Frankie says he is feeling fine, and expects to be in perfect trim when he meets the little Los Angeles speed marvel. Max Wiley, a well-known welter weight wrestler, who claims New York City as his home, is playing at a local theater this week with "Seldom s Venus statuary poses. Wiley says he will lay off here next week and would like to secure, a match with either O'Connell or Lanlgan. ' The wrestling match between Gus An derson, of Des Moines, Ia. and Eddie O'Connell, of Portland, which was sched uled to take place tonight, has been postponed indefintely because of an in Jury sustained by Anderson at Salt Lake City last week. O'Connell will not wrestle now until February 10, when he expects to meet Matsuda. the Jap, who recently posted a side bet of $600 for the match. Paulhan. the bird man, is making the San Franciscans gaxe skyward, for he Is giving a few demonstrations of aerial navigation at the Bay City. Paulhan's success in aerial navigation has caused the Callfornlans to become overly ex cited about the new method transporta tion, and they are flocking to see . him each day. Jack Johnson is belne tried in New Tork for assaulting an old-time friend who refused to buy wine for the colored champion. Almost immediately after his arrest, Johnson appeared before a colored Y. M. C. A. and gave a lecture on so briety. He ought to know, and prob ably will after sentence la passed on him. E. J. McCullough, another advance man for the Jeffries-Gotch combination, spent Sunday and yesterday in Portland, leaving last night for Tacoma. where the big fellow shows after appearing here. McCullough is sanguine in prophesying that the battle between Jeffries and Johnson will not be a moving-picture battle, for he firmly believes that Jeff will defeat Johnson in five or ten rounds.
