The Seal, as usual, wml train at Boyea springs. This leaves Oakland and the two .. Southern clubs. Lob Angeles and Yen ice, to be heard from.

Portland likely will assera ble one week later, as McCredie always has a shorter training; season than his rival. "I have chosen Tucson for two rea sons, first of which is climate," re marked Walt McCredie yesterday. "It never rains at Tucson this time of the 3 ear. I understand, so Tucson ought to be an ideal location. The financial side - also cut acme figure In my plans. Heretofore spring training has always cost us about S.'OOO.

"Now It will roxt me considerable extra to take my Coast men to Tucson and bark to Los Angeles, but I can have my L'astern players buy their tickets via the Southern route, with a stopover at Tucson. It will not cost me any extra transportation for them. "My plan is to condition at Tucson for about a fortnight and then begin the journey to Los Angeles by easy stages. We could play games In a dozen (rood-nixed towns on the way. and might, by good luck, cut down the Spring training expense item to a minimum. "Two years ago ick illiams t trained hi. Colts at Santa Roa and played all along the road on his trip .North, and Nick made money that Spring. I do not expect to do that well, but if 1 can lop a few hundred dollars off thu training expense it might help some. Apparently the dentin. ea of the new Salt Lake club are In exctdlent hands. - At a temporary organization meeting m couple of days ago Ueorgo F. Wnsnon, a well-known attorney aud member of the School Hoard-elect, was chosen chairman of the Hoard.

The victory of the Bos ton Braves in the pennant race and the world's series was a big surprise. The coming indoor track season at the I'niversity of Pennsylvania will be a busy one. One of the features will be the meet between the freshmen and the Philadelphia high schools. According to reports. Jack Johnson is giving boxing exhibitions at Buenos Ayres and is planning to make the South American city his future home. Some San Francisco bug is endeavor ing to have Umpire George Hilde brand. Bill James, of Boston, and Jim Scott, of the White Sox, stage a match auto race. The big league trio are buzzing around an Francisco in their car at present. Robert C. Zupple. the coach who took the ill out of Illinois, has received a new contract calling for his services at the university of Illinois as foot ball coach for five years. Nineteen fourteen will go down In history as an epoch-making year for vacht racing. Great progress was made In the development of the sport. ... Although America did not win the Davis cup matches.

YESTERDAY AFTERNOON' ON Trinny Jontu, Coach Woodworth, TEN RIDERS FINISH RON STAIITERS I.V MOTORCYCLE ENDl'R. AXCE RACE NUMBER 3S. . Distance Covered Is 375 Miles and Four Competitors Are Credited Witfc Scores of 10O0 Points Each. Ten of 38 starters finished last night in the annual New Year's motorcycle endurance run. which started at mid night Thursday. The race was 375 miles long over a 25-mile course In the vicinity of Portland, and four riders were unofficially credited with 1000 points by the referee. Not until today will the official re ult of the race be known, as the ma chines must be taken apart and exam ined thoroughly. Bert Hedderly, on 1 Dayton: Archie Rife, on a Harley-Da vidson; Ed Berreth, on an Excelsior, and "Sky" BeletskI, on a Thor. are said to have records of 1000 points each. The best time on the course was made by Archie Rife, when he covered one of his 15 laps in 38 minutes. The first rider rode into Broadway and Yamhill street at 5:21 o'clock, almost two hours behind time. Jack Tauscher, on a Dayton, and another rider un known to the Judges were still on the course at a late hour last night. For . the most part the roads were In a bad condition and worse than at the time of the W14 race, according to all the entries. The wind was so strong going out Sandy Road to Troutdale that the intake valves of the car buretors on several machines froze and delays of many minutes resulted. L. G. Olson, on an Indian, ran into Bert Hedderly. on a Dayton, and the accident caused considerable delay to Olson. Jack Tauscher rode his Dayton 15 miles on a flat tire, and a delay of 55' minutes was made when he had to put a whole new casing on. On his second lop Archie Rife ran Into the ditch, but it was not serious. The start was made from Broadway and Oak streets and the riders then went over the Broadway bridge to Sandy Road, along Sandy Road to Troutdale and across to Ferndale and Powell Valley and on down to Gresham. From Gresham they went to Eighty second street and Powell Valley road and then along Eighty-second street to Sandy Road. This course was covered 15 times by the 10 riders who finished. Following are the names of the rid ers who finished, and the scores cred ited to them: Bert Hedderly. Dayton, 1000; Archie Rife. Harley-Davidson, 1000; Ed Berreth, Excelsior, 1000: "Sky" BeletskI, Thor, 1000; Gus Peppel, Harley-Davidson, 975; Axel Kildolph, Day ton, 975: George Swygert, Harley-Davidson. 960; L. G. Olson, Indian, 960; E. H. Allen, Flying Merkel. 950; Ted Gil bert. Harley-Davidson, 940. GRCMAX GETS SEATTLE OFFER Dan Salt Proposes to Arrange for Bouts AVlth Topnotchers. Ralph Gruman, Portland's representa tive in the boxing game, who holds the Pacific Coast lightweight cham pionship, received an offer yesterday from Dan Salt, of Seattle, for four bouts in that city to take place in the near future. The boys Ralph will be required to meet, if he accepts the offer, are among the topnotchers of the North west. The first bout probably will be between Gruman and Johnnie O'Leary. The Portland boy won the Coast lightweight title from O'Leary in the south. O'Leary is a big favorite in Seattle and a bout with him likely would draw well. Joe Bayley and "Roughhouse" Burns may Ue the next two for Ralph to take on. If he dis poses of the trio, he then would be matched against Chet Neff. who is con sidered one of the classiest boxers in the Northwest. Gruman will forward Salt's corre spondence to his manager, Harry Foley, who is in California, and will await Foley's decision. Ahearn and Dillon Box Draw. PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 1. Honors were, about even at the end of a fast six-round bout between Young Ahearn, of Brooklyn, and Jack Dillon, of In dianapolis, here today. Ahearn con ceded the Indianapolis middleweight eight pounds in weight, but his clev erness enabled him to offset Dillon's aggressiveness. "Ted" Lewis, a lightweight of Eng land, outpointed Willie Moore, of Phil adelphia, in six rounds at another club. TEAMS PLAY AGAIN TO SCORELESS TIE Second Western Club-Albina Football -Match Fought Out in Mud Ankle Deep. THIRD CONTEST ORDERED Lines Are Obscured and Bedraggled Players Battling for 145-Pound Title of Archer & Wiggins League Masked by Slush. It's the same old story with the Albina-Western Amateur Athletic Club football game. For the second time in the past week the two elevens battled to a 0-to-0 score on Multnomah Field yesterday afternoon. The field could not have been in a worse condition for a grid iron contest. Large and small puddles of water dotted the gridiron and at no spot was the mud "shallower" than ankle deep. The match was supposed to settle the 1914 lightweight or 145-pound championship of the Archer & "Wiggins League, but President Rupert has de cided that another game still must be played a week from tomorrow uu Columbia Park grounds.

Sidelights and Satire By Koscoe Fawcett. LL football players In the West A ern Conference will be numbered next year. This was decided at the annual meeting recently, and, while Michigan is not in the conference, tne Wolverines also have adopted the numerals. This means that the public which supports football in the Middle West will get a run tor Its money. Here in the Northwest pressure has been brought to bear upon the gradu ate managers for the past two seasons to do something. All the managers admit the benefits of the system, but when they get together to do business they have such a mess trying to ar range football schedules that the num bering matter loses itself in the shuf fle. a According to Dave Fultz. the allies have something like 600 prisoners. a Tyler Christian has signed Al Lean as trainer for the 1915 Oaks. What an opportunity forthepunsmith. Not until Cal Ewlng built his new ball park at San Francisco did the Pa cific Coast begin to realize the in adequacy of its coast defenses. a When Jim Jeffries was training at Rowardennan for his Jack Johnson fiasco the camp was in despair because Bob Armstrong, the big black trainer of dozens of champions, had a pair of magic dice that had taken all the loose and some of the tight money of such camp followers as Jim Corbett. Walter C. Kelly. Joe Choynski, Clarence Kolb and Bob Vernon. There word came down to the little mountain retreat that Charlie Van Loan, the author, and Just ly celebrated as the only person who ever stole second with the bases full, was coming by stage to the Jeffries camp. Armstrong was called into council. "Now, Bob," began Jeff, "you're go ing to meet a real blood. This fellow Van Loan's recreation Is rushing Old Dame Fortune right out into the sea at Monte Carlo. Around Denver, he tells us, they never use chips In poker games just toss live cattle on the table. It's 'I chip a bridle calf see the brindle calf and raise you two longhorns see the two longhorns and bet a herd of mavericks.' and so on. Bob. look out for this fellow. He's an intellectual giant and some gambler." "Let him come. Mister Jim." said Bob softly, "baby needs a new pair of shoes?'

"Come behind the barn," said Arm strong. No brezes there to oliill the dice. Let's be private." They were gone three hours. Finally Armstrong came slowly around to Jeff's cottage. "Well?" came the chorus from Corbett, Choynski, Kelly, Kolb, Ver non, Jeff and company. "Did you take him?" "Take him?" said Armstrong with a grin. "Gentlemen, I left that bovine bettor with nothing but the perspira tion in the palm of his hand!" BOUT PROMOTER FIGHTS CHARLEY DALE AND MANAGER OF HECTOR ST. JOHN CLASH. Impromptu Battle Takes Place at Spo kane When Harry Needham Refuses to Send Man Against FarrelL SPOKANE. Wash., Jan. 1. (Special.) Charley Dale, light promoter of the Hillyard Athletic Club, staged an im promptu battle in the hall today with Harry Needham, manager of Hector St. John, when Needham refused to let St. John meet Billy Farrell, a tough light weight who was once considered good enough to meet Freddy Welsh. Dale says Needham demanded a pro hibitive price for his man to appear against so tough an opponent. This the Hillyard promoter refused to pay. Advancing to the center of the ring, with Farrell stripped ready to meet St. John, Dale announced: "St. John demands a sum to appear in the ring that I cannot pay. I have, however, agreed to put up S100 for this fight, winner take all." Dale then went back to where Need ham and St. John were sitting, and was met by a swing from Needham's right Dale rushed to a clinch and the men wrestled about for several minutes. A policeman showed up and placed both under arrest. They gave bail to appear at 9:30 o clock in the morning.
