Xational Trotting Association Adopts
New Regulation.
NEW YORK, Feb. 9l Beginning with.
the season of 1915, no hobbles shall be
used on pacing horses, and up to that
time, the device is to be gradually elimi

I 25th Congress of the National Trotting
Association today.
Section 1 of rule 4 was amended as
follows:
"In all purses five entries are required
and two to start, unless otherwise speci
fied." It was also decided that "if only one
of the horses entered for a purse shall
appear 'on , the course he shall be en
titled to his own entrance money and to
one-half of the entrance money received
from the other entries for said purse."
President P. P. Johnston, of Lexington,
Ky.. was re-elected president. The asso

session in 1912.
BY W. J. PETRAIN.
The Northwestern League's Inst chance
of getting a team in Portland this year
went glimmering with the action of Judge
Undse-y at Seattle last Monday in re
fusing an injunction on the application
of Aberdeen to prevent that city's ex
clusion from the league, according to Wil
liam H. Lucas, president of the organi
sation, who returned to Portland ywter
day. President Lucas mays the Northwestern
league will comprise only four cities
during the coming season, and -in his
opinion, it will be an ideal circuit for sev
eral reasons, the most pertinent of which
is the acknowledgment that the North
western does not feel that competition
with the Pacific Coast League in this city
will be profitable.
Split-Week Series to Be Played.
As soon as the injunction suit brought
by the Aberdeen club was dissolved Mon
day, the Northwestern League went into
executive, session at Seattle and adopted
a schedule for the coming season which
will be published next Sunday. This
schedule provides for only four clubs,
and will also prove of added interest to
the fans for the reason of the- "pplit
week'; series to be played at Seattle. Ta
coma and Vancouver. Spokane will play
the customary full seven days" series as
last season.
The adoption of this new style schedule
was accomplished because of the variety
it gives the Puget Sound cities, which are
thereby afforded the opportunity of seeing
two different clubs each week of base
ball scheduled at home. The water trans
portation facilities, which are cheaper
than rail, between Seattle. Tacoma and
Vancouver also influenced the- arranging
of the schedule In this manner. .
"The Northwestern League will com
prise only four clubs during the coming
Reason." said President Lucas last night.
"We were unable to formulate any other
plan, and our by-laws plainly bear out
our action, dropping Portland and Aber
deen. We were convinced by last year's
showing here that the fans of Portland
prefer the Coast League, and, not caring
to compete in Portland under the con
tinuous baseball idea, which I do not
think is good for any city, we could not
take chances on a speculative proposition,
especially when we would get no more
than seven or eight weeks in this city.
Why Aberdeen Was Dropped.
"With only five clubs left in our cir
cuit, we either had to secure a sixth or
drop one of the remaining clubs, and Ab
erdeen was dispensed with when it was
found Impracticable to place a club In
the sixth city.
"Following the dissolution of the in
junction by Commissioner Llndsey we lm
mediately adopted a schedule for four
clubs, and this schedule will be given out
for publication next Sunday. It will be
something new for the reason that it
w-ill be 'the first time splitweeks between
baseball clubs has been tried in the
Northwest."
President Lucas was- asked if Manager
Brown, of Aberdeen, had mentioned any
thing of a deal for Bassey and Adams,
of the Portland club, and replied that he
believed Brown desired the services of
Adams, but heard nothing about Bassey.
Manager McCredle heard from Brown
some time ago. but yesterday he said ho
believed the Vancouver manager had
either forgotten abouT it or did not want
the players.

ABKRDEEN, Wash.. Peb. 9. (Special.)
Aberdeen pulled off an "April fool's"
joke on the Northwestern Baseball
Ieague two months ahead of time this
year, and this city today is laughing at
a certain quartette of club magnates as
the result of the court's decision at Seat
tle yesterday, disallowing: the petition of
the Aberdeen club, which sought to pre
vent the drawing of a playing schedule
with Aberdeen omitted.
"We never expected to win this first
action said S. K. Bowes, one of the
most active of the Aberdeen club direc
tors. "On the face of it, it was a case
of 'heads we win, tails, they lose fo?
whtit good will a thousand four-club

important mandamus suit on the ISth?
"We simply decided that we would keep
the fact before the Xorth western that

action was concerned, we had every

The Joker portion of yesterday's affair
was not fully understood by everyone In
Aberdeen until explained today, and for
a while some obtained the impression,
which the Sound .papers aided in con
veying, that Aberdeen had really "fanned
out" in the eighth inning of the game for
reinstatement. In reality, however, the

Former New York Player Sees Mc

NEW YORK. Feb. 9. Mike Eonlln,
r. f.. Polo Grounds, New York.
That's what they say Mike's address
will be next Summer, and this time it
looks like a sure go. In the last few
days ronlin has talked things over
with McGraw. and. while neither of
them admit that negotiations have pro
ceded as far as Mike's signature to a
contract, still it 1s known that a settle
ment of the differences between Don
lln and the New York club Is under
way.
Donlin and McGraw have seen little
of each other this Winter. Mike ended
his vaudeville tour a month ago, and
since has been In the city rehearsing
a small part of a new play which is to
present Mrs. Donlin (Mabel Kite) as a
star. But the theatrical game is grow
ing less attractive to Mike, because he
cannot resist the call of Spring and
the satisfaction of "putting; the wood"

Portland Player Decides to Quit
Western Game for Coming;
Summer at Least.
Ed Plnnance, the Indian pitcher of the
Portland team in -the Northwestern
League last season, has purchased his
release from Representative McCredle,
president of the Portland baseball club,
and has written Manager Walter Mc
Credle that he intends to manage a team
comprised of Indian baseball players In
the Chiaago City League during the com
ing Summer.
"Chief" Plnnance first joined the Port
land team in 1908 and pitched a number
of games that season, but hurt his arm
and went back to his home before the
season was concluded. Last year Mc
Credle sent him to the Northwestern
League team, and the Indian was one
of the most reliable pitchers he had on
that team.' Plnnance one, distinguished
himself by pitching a 23-inning game
against the Vancouver club which tie
won by the score of 8 to 0, Portland
scoring the three runs in the last Inn
ing. Manager McCredle received another
letter from his uncle yesterday in which
the president of the Portlnad club says
that additional evidence favoring Port
land's claim to Monte Pfyle has been
forwarded to the National Commission.
Representative McCredle does not state
the nature of this evidence, but announces
that more definite information will be
forthcoming as soon as he hears directly
from either Garry Herrmann or Presi
dent Lynch, of the National League.
February 22 will probably be the day
when Manager McCredie, Charley Arm
bruster, Howard Guyn, Perle Casey, Jesse
Garrett, Frank Turk and Lodell, the
members of the Portland squad now here,
leave for Santa Maria. They will be
joined here next week by Joe Smith, the
third sacker, secured from the champion
Enid team of the Western Association,

Cleveland club, and Frank Schmleder, the
newly engaged trainer of the Cleveland
team, who formerly acted in that capacity
for the Multnomah Amateur Athletic
Club, will leave Portland for the South
about February 20. The Cleveland team
is to train at Alexandria, La., and all
of the players will probably report there
instead of at Cleveland, though the
veteran pitchers like "Cy" Young, Addle
Joss and the others will go to Hot

BUCK HARD LOSER
Langford Anxious for Fight to
Finish With Flynn.
JEFFRIES' STOCK BOOMING
JIan Who Stayed 15 Rounds -With
Johnson Is Worsted. In Ten
Rounds) With Pugilist Jeff
Would Make Short Work Of.
LOS ANGELES, Cal., Feb. 9. (Special.)
"I will keep after this man Flynn until
I get him Into the ring for a finish fight,"
was Sam Langford's heartbroken cry to
day. "I have a right to It and I demand
it. I can beat him easily and I will
show him who's his master." Langford
is still very sore over the surprising re
sult of last night's fight and does not
hesitate to say so.
He said: "I trained faithfully for the
fight and have no excuses to make. Flynn
started to butt me in the first round and
also tripped me down and fell on me in
the fourth. I knew as long ae he would
not stand up and. fight me that I would
have my hands full to put him away In
ten rounds.
"I . am ready to meet Flynn again to
morrow or "Washington's birthday. Flynn
has not got a hard blow and does not
hurt when he hits. He can't strike hard
enough to put me out.
"I think I have as much endurance as
he and can go as far. He fights some
thing like Sandj' Ferguson, on the rough
house rushing and boring-in s'.yle. "With
both hands on each side of his head and
all Covered up it's hard to reach him.
Over a long route I am pretty sure I
can stop hhn."
The result of the fight has sent Jeffries'
stock booming here, it being argued that
Inasmuch as Langford held Johnson to
a questionable decision in 15 rounds, and
Flynn decisively beat Langford in 10
rounds, after taking an 11-round beating
from the alleged champion, Johnson was
absolutely no chance to beat Jeffries, who
would put Flynn away at will.
There is talk here of a 45-round fight
as a return match between Flynn and
Langford, but Woodman is so sore that
he bars Los Angeles in the future, and
says he will . fight Flynn over any dis
tance for 110,000 a side bet, but only in
San Francisco. Pittsburg or Boston.
They will leave tomorrow night, for
San Francisco to talk with Louis Blot
about a match.

Three Big Affairs to Attract Lovers
of Athletics and Show.
VANCOUVER. B. C, Feb. 9. (Spe
cial.) Three affairs of special interest
to sporting fans of this city for the
coming Spring and Autumn are al
ready taking definite shape. They araI
tne second annual British Columbia
bowling congress, to be held during the
week commencing April 23; the third
annual horse show. In April, and Van
couver's first annual exhibition, during
the latter part of August.
From the plans being formulated for
the bowling congress it is certain that
the coming tournament will be the best
ever held here. One team at least will
be sent to San Francisco to compete
there.
The Vancouver Exhibition Company
will enter the North Pacific Fair Asso
ciation and take the dates Immediately
preceding August 29, when the Ev
erett fair commences. This will avoid
conflict with the other cities in the
circuit, whose exhibitions all follow
that of Vancouver, according to the
dates arranged in Portland last week.

Team AVork of Both Aggregations
Good, hut University Proves Too
Fast for High Boys.
The Columbia University basketball
team continued its championship pace
yesterday at the Portland Academy
gym by defeating trie Washington High
School team 27 to 12.
The team work of both squads was
good. but the Columbia lads were
faster and excelled in basket throwing.
In the second half the game was rough
and fouls were numerous. The Co
lumbia team fouled 16 times in all,
Fitzgerald offending five times and
Kelleher four. Vierick, the High
School Biiard, made seven of the 12
fouls registered against his team.
Fitzgerald and Reed were the star
performers on the Columbia team,
while Jackson and George did particu
larly good work for the High Schoolers.
The score at the end of the first half
was 15 to 4 in favor of Columbia, and
during this period the Washingtonians
did not make a basket from the field.
Reed, the Columbia center, found the
basket within a few minutes after the
game started and during the remainder
of the half his team had easy sailing.
After four minutes of play in the
second half, Vierick made the first bas
ket of the game for Washington from
a hard angle after clever passing by
his team mates.
Lincoln High School and Allen Pre
paratory School will engage in the
next interscholactic game tomorrow
afternoon in the T. M. C. A. gym.
The teams lined up in yesterday's
game as follows:

writes Lewis Chamblin. of Manchester,
Ohio, R. R. No. 3, "as when a frightful
cough and lung trouble pulled me down
to 116 pounds in spite of many remedies
and the best doctors. And that I am
alive today is due solely to Dr. King's
New Discovery, which completely cured
me. Now I weigh 160 pounds and can
work hard. It lso cured my four chil

ment to his friends a few "days ago.
has rallied and Is much Improved.
While admittance Is denied his friends,
his family announce that he is prac
tically out of danger, and hopes are en
tertained for his thorough recovery.
Edgar Frank, Multnomah's champion
125-pound wrestler, is not likely to repre
sent the club at the National champion
ships in Chicago, for Frank says he can
not spare the time to make the trip.
His friends sincerely regret his inability
to participate at Chicago, for all are con
fident that he is able to win the title.
Yesterday's dispatches had a note to
the effect that the University of Oregon
was to compete with Washington and
Stanford in a rowing regatta. Can it be
that the U. of O. is about to organize a
crew?
.
Vincent Borleske, the sensational ath
lete of Whitman College, is likely to wear
a Tacoma uniform In the Northwestern
League this Summer. The success of
Curtiss Coleman with the Tigers Mas
caused a preference for college players
on the part of the management of that
team.
President William H. Lucas, of the
Northwestern League, returned to Port
land yesterday, and is enthusiastic over
the prospects for a successful season in
the North. He thinks the "split week"
schedule for Seattle, Tacoma and Van
couver will help the game wonderfully
In the Northwestern League this season.
The purchase ofthe Tacoma club by
Eddie Quinn will not make any difference
in the management of that club as far as
Cliff Blankenship is concerned, for Quinn
thinks highly of "Blank" and will give
him a thorough trial at the helm.
Dugdale has sold "Phenom" George
Capron to the Vancouver club, but he
did not get the J5000 (?) back he paid (?)
for the player, according to the Seattle
scribes a year ago. It is also remarkable
to note that there is no demonstration of
Indignation on the part of the Seattle
fans at thus disposing of such a "great"
player to a rival club.
According to a Washington dispatch to
the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, Represen
tative McCredie was left off the Repub
lican baseball team chosen from mem
ber sof the House of that affiliation. The
"Judge" need nobe piqued, however, for
Joe Cannon was likewise slighted, and
the "team" probably preferred to dis
pense with the "magnates."

Matsuda Arrives for Match
With O'Connell.
PRELIMINARIES ARE GOOD
Wrestling Show Tonight Promises
Some Interesting Bouts Side
Bet of $500 Has Been Agreed
on in Big Match of Exhibt.
All preliminary arrangements have been
completed for tonight's big wrestling
show at Merrill's Hall when Eddie O'Con
nell tries conclusions with M. Matsuda,
a Japanese grappler.
Matsuda, the- Jap, arrived yesterday
and looks like & tough proposition. Like
all of the men of his race, he is a trifle
undersized, though not to the extent no
ticeable in some instances, -and his gen
eral build and appearance give him the
aspect oX the wrestler as conceived by
sculptors. He has powerful shoulders,
strong, at hie tic -looking legs, and his arms
are like steel. Matsuda's muscles are
hard, -but pliable, indicating activity and
strngeth, and when Eddie O'Connell
grapples with, the disciple of Nippon
he will have no plaything on his hands.
Matsuda has backed himself - against
O'Connell with a side bet of $500 and
he ' is confident that he will win the
money.
O'Connell. on the other hand. has
trained hard for this match, and to look
at him today and remember how he ap
peared three weeka ago. gives one the
idea that he is a different man. In
reality O'Connell has taken off 12 pounds
of extra flesh in two weeks, and now
weighs less than 140 pounds. He is go
ing to rest up today, and will 'only do
enough work to insure his weighing in
at 142 pounds and no more. Bach con
testant has posted a forefit for weight,
and the stipulations provide the forfeit
ing of this in the event of either man
arranged for Gene West, the ex -Multnomah
Club champion boxer, to meet Harry
Arndt, a local grappler of considerable
promise, and another curtain-raiser be
tween Jack Davis and L. K.eppert. "West
has been anxious to show what he can
do in the wrestling line, and during the
workouts he has had with Frankie .Con
ley and other boxers, he has- done con
siderable wrestling and thinks he is In
first-class shape to give Arndt a run for
the honors.
