Happy Hofran, of the Venetian "Gon
doliers," believes the day of the South
Daw in the Coast League is passing.
For two years the heartsiders have
kept Vernon up In the race and it was
common to hear players remark: "Any
. kind of a southpaw can- get away in
this league." But now the old order
changetn. Just as McCredie, of Port
land, plans the Inculcation of a couple
of the forkslders. Hoian announces a
cut of 50 per cent in Schedule S.
Last season Hogan carried four
southpaws on his staff. Think of it.
Four of those curious "critters"
for whom the average manager
holds a wholesome dread. But
only Roy Hitt and Raleigh
will remain. Roy Castleton has
been sold to Nashville in the
Southern League, and Dolly Gray, once
pride of Washington, is doomed to
walk the plank.
Los Angeles will likely struggle
through. 1S13 southpawless. and the
same is true of Sacramento. The Seals
have Jess Baker as headliner. while
Portland boosts of Stanley, the At
lantic City phenom secured from Phila
delphia In the Howley deal.
Oakland, as usual, is well fortified,
having Abies and Pernoll back ir.
harness. Abies wrote a Portland
friend from Terrill. Texas, the other
day. saying that he tipped the scales
-at 212 pounds. If this is true, Harry
will need some rot gh work at Liver
more to get him down into the pink.
Speaking of southpaws. Harry
Krause says the Toledo management
inserted a notation in his 1913 con
tract to the effect that he can pur
chase his release at the close of this!
season for s-1000. Just wnat purpose
actuated the spilling of this surplus
Ink can only be guessed at, but it is
safe to say that Toledo will use any
form of hint threat or coercion to in
duce Krause to report at Pensacola
satisfied with the American Associa
tion. "Bud" Anderson has Incurred the
displeasure of San Francisco fight pro
moters and fans through a foolish and
unguarded remark dropped by his man
ager. Dick Donald. Donald informed
Promoter Jim Griffin, who saw his
protege beat Sammy Trott at Vernon
last week, that, inasmuch as San Fran
cisco had given him the cold shoulder
when he and Bud were there, the pair
would continue to show before Los
Angeles clubs.
The Vancouver lightweight has been
safely started on his pugilistic career
In first division ranks, but he Is still
in the class of the cub reporter. Cer
tain attempts to dictate to the fifrht
promoters will only result in Buddy
getting a more frigid welcome than
ever when he does appear in the Bay
City.
Reviewing Anderson's work In the
Trott battle. Harry 'Williams, the
Times expert, says of the Vancouver
lightweight:
"Anderson has several crudities !n
Ills boxing that will have to be rem
edied If he expects to cope successfully
with the top notchers. Against Trott.
Anderson left openings large enough
to drive a span of mules through. Im
agine the avalanche of gloves that Joe
Rivers would have hurled through that
aort of an aperture. He appeared, too.
to be deficient In infighting. He didn't
even ruffle Sammy's hair in the
clinches."
Insofar as the infighting criticism
goes, if one can be pardoned for com
menting from this distance, Anderson
seems to have played the game Just
about right. As long as he could stand
off and whale the life out of Trott at
long range there could be little use
in "ruffling hair" and wasting strength
in the clinches.
According to a report from Phila
delphia, the deal for the transfer of
Pitcher Stanley and the cub catcher.

has not been finally sanctioned.
"If through insofar as my end Is
concerned," commented Manager Mc
Credie. of the Beavers. "The Phillies
may want an option on the men but
they will not get options. They made
me an offer and I accepted and that's
all there is to It."
Uncle Sam's parcel post and the
bellicose Oregon game laws have not
hooked up In combat- as yet, but It
takes no modern Plato to forsee
troublesome days ahead for somebody.

WASHINGTON BOTS CHALLENGE
High School Students Would Play
Ancient Foes of Lincoln.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene.
On, Jan. 23. (Special.) That the old
"prep" school spirit has not left the
graduates of Washington High School,
of Portland, who are now enrolled as
students of the University of Oregon.
Is Indicated by a challegne Issued to
their old rivals from Lincoln High
School.
The challenge was announced at a
meeting of the Owl Club, a University
organisation composed exclusively of
Washington High graduates. It calls
for a basketball game between a team
composed from that club and a five
composed of Lincoln High School
alumni now attending the University.
Although the latter have no regular
organization, they undoubtedly will ac
cept the challenge of their ancient
foes, and the game Is expected to
resurrect some of the old rivalry be
tween the two institutions.
On "dope" the challengers appear
to have the better of the argument,
for there are half a dozen former
members of Washington fives in col
lege. Among these are George, a
former Washington High captain;
'i
shown for the proposed Oregon Trap
Shooters League, I believe that the
league will be formed and will meet
with great success," said J. A. Addle
man, secretary ond treasurer of the
Portland Gun Club.
ANDERSON IS REBUFFED
AVOLGAST TELLS PUGILIST TO
"GO OX AXD SLAKE KEP."
Manager Donald Replies by Otter
ing to Bet $2000 That Ad Can't
Last 16 Bounds.
Efforts at matching "Bud" Anderson
and Ad Wolgast for St. Patrick's day
have been rebuffed by Wolgast with
the request that Anderson "go on and
make a rep."
Manager Donald, upon hearing this,
made a counter proposition to th ex
champion. Instead of offering a side
bet of big proportion on the general
result, Donald offers Wolgast an even
money wager of $2000 that Anderson
will stop him Inside of .IS rounds.
"Wolgast knows that Anderson is
his master and that he Is the most
dangerous lightweight In the world to
day," said Donald. "The cry of "go
get a rep' is a chestnut. Ten thousand
dollars is behind Anderson and that's
reputation enough for any of the light
weights who think they can whip my
boy. Wolgast or any other lightweight
can win that sum by whipping Ander
son. Besides, I will bet Wolgast JiOOO
even money that Anderson will stop
him In 1 rounds any time they meet."
Donald and Anderson are going to
Catalina for a few days and upon their
return they will take a cottage at
Venice, where they will take life In
ease until time to open their training
quarters again. Donald wants to get
a March 4 date for Anderson and says
he is going to hound the big four in
lightweight affairs until some of them
come across with a match for Ander
son. Amateur Athletics. ,
Manager Adams, of the Washington
soccer football team, was elated yes

a good one. as both teams are fast.

future the University of California and

five games each season to settle the
championship if the decision which the
intercollegiate agreement committee
reached at its meeting recently is ac
rolls."
McCredie and Corbett met In the lob
by of the Teon building yesterday af
ternoon. Just as the latter was part
ing from Fielder Jones, with whom he
had been chatting on baseball topics
for more than an hour.
"Remember that sore arm I was
sporting in those days?" queried Cor
bett after greetings had been ex
changed between the big chaps. "All I
could do with the gloved hand was to
raise It up to ray face, and the Tiigh
throws went to the fence.
"I never was a sensational ball play
er." conceded the actor man, "but I
always managed to get away with it
because the fans never expected much
of me. They didn't think I could play
at all, and when I stopped them around
first and hit the ball occasionally, the
fans felt that I was making good.
Stage Success Explained.
."That't one reason I never have any
trouble on the stage. The public look
at old Fitz. Sullivan and other old
time fighters and don't expect much
of me. When I give them more than
they expect, everyone is delighted, or
at least I hope everyone is. If they
expected to see a Nat Goodwin things
would be different."
Corbett has a right-handed pitcher
on his string who Is branded as a
comer. "Buster" Webb is his name,
the lad hailing from Long Island, Jim's
home. Corbett recommended him to a
friend of Harry Davis last season and
the boy was carried by the Naps for
six weeks, losing out when Davis was
released. Harry expected to send the
boy to Portland for seasoning, and Cor
bett advised McCredie to give the
speed-merchant a chance.
-Jim has always been a great admirer
of Fielder Jones, the former manager
of the world's champion White Sox,
and now head of the Northwestern
League.
Jones' Personality Praised.
"There was one grand baseball play
er," declared Jim after he had indulged
In a talkfest with Fielder. "And," he
concluded, "he's certainly a fine fel
low off the diamond. I saw him In
many a game in the majors and admired
his playing, but really don't know
which I like best, his baseball playing
or his personality."
- Among the men visited by Corbett In
Portland Is Mike Butler, former foot
racer and well-known trainer of ath
letes. Jim didn't get a chance to see
Tommy Tracy yesterday, but hopes to
have a chat with the Multnomah Club
instructor today.

Nat Cartmell, of Louisville. ""Ky..
former Pennsylvania sprinter, - and
champion professional of the world, and
Will Martin, of Seattle, Cartmell's
greatest rival as an American sprinter,

Ranking as the best In this country,
Cartmell and Martin will first go to
England, where they will clash with
the best English professionals in four

400 yards.
From England the pair will go to
South Africa, where a series of races
are to be run with Donaldson and
Walker, the great sprinters, and also
with Patching, the Olympic runner, if

Test Proposed Is ThatT Countries
Should Be Allowed to Enter Their
Best Athletes, Amateurs or Not.
LONDON, Jan. 29. At the annual din.
ner tonight of the South London Har
riers' Club, President Willis, who said
that the club was the pioneer In In
ternational athletics, made the start
ling proposal' that the next Olympic
games should be open both to amateurs
and professionals.
Without any direct reference to
Thorpe, he contended that the line be
tween professionals and amateurs was
less sharply drawn in other countries
than In England, and, therefore, Eng
land was not In the same position to
compete as other countries. He argued
that until the Olympic games were
thrown open to the professional and
the best athletes any country was able
to produce were brought together,
England's position as the premier ath
letic country of the world never again
could be attained.
Sporting Life commented on the
Thorpe incident, completely exonerat
ing the Amateur Athletic Union of the
United States, and thinks its ample
apology should be accepted in the
spirit In which it was offered. It adds,
however, that it is high time for the
International Olympic committee to en.
deavor to evolve a code of honor for
the amateur, as there are many com
petitors, not Americans only, whose
status will not bear a strong light.
