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."

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.

Both associations have clever and ex

but there are some new arrivals at the
Y. M. C. A. who are expected to hold
their own with the clubmen.
Among the Multnomah Club players
is Holbrook, who with Moore won cne
doubles championship In the tourna
ment at the Lewis and Clark Fair
against the cleverest players on the
Pacific Coast. Jones, Dunne, Watkins
and Cleland also ' participated in the
Lewis and Clark Fair tournament, and

Dunne and Holbrook are considered
the strongest team that will represent
the Multnomah Club, while Watkins
and Post are two of the best Y. M- C.

twd teams are looked forward to with
considerable interest.

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.
