WASHINGTON GONE
Governor's Announcement He
Would Veto Bill Makes
. Dead Issue of tt.
BACKERS GIVE UP FIGHT
Senator AVray's Voting to Override
Feto of McArdle Measures Held
to Be Factor In Decision
of State Executive.
BT ROSCOE FAWCETT.
There will be no legalized boxing in
the State of Washington within the
next two years. Governor Tester dealt
the Wrzv boxing bill a Jolt in the solar
plexus Thursday by announcing that
he would veto it if it came to him for
action. As the bill passed the Senate
12 to Is and as it requires IS votes
to pass it over the chief executives
head, the measure can be considered
a dead issue. . ...
Senator Wray was certain his bill
would pass in the House, but he has
now asked that the issue be dropped.
As usual. the answer to tne
Governors stand can be spelled
p-o-l-i-t-i-c-s." Senator Wray dared
to presume to oppose the Governor In
the McArdle bills voting to override
fc veto and he didn't have to wait
long for his retribution.
Hardly had he stepped from tne
Senate chamber than a page handed
him the following letter from the chief
mogul of the state: ..
February 18. 1913.-Hon Will am
Wray. Senate chamber. Capitol build
ing. My Iear Serator Wray: I have
carefullv considered Senate bill Jo. as.
which is 'An act establishing a state
athletic commission and regulating
boxing and sparring in the State pf
Washington and. along the lines of our
conversation some days ago. at which
time 1 stated to you if I made up
mv mind that I felt it my duty to veto
this bill I would immediately so in
form you. I beg now to say that if
. ... t shut fee.l that
tne Din is p. : r ..-
this is the action I ought to take.
Sincerely yours.
Ernest Lister. Governor.
A similar bill introduced in the Ore
gon Senate by Senator Perkins got no
further than the Judiciary committee,
a a a
John L. Sullivan, working in con
nection with the Civic Reform League
has begun a campaign to kill this
same sport in the State of New York.
John L. says its a brutal sport and
should bo done away with. But don t
fall over with apoplexy this John L.
Is not the former world's champion
merely an up-state legislator desiring
a litt-e free notoriety.
We have at hand a letter from a
personal friend in Kl Paso, who is an
ardent enthusiast of the pillow-slinging
game. Quoting:
"At first the people of El Paso were
widlv excited over the Johnson-W 11
lard' fight Willard's arrival with his
retinue was a signal for great glee.
The public went daffy over the big
fellow and enwds visited his camp.
But the novelty has worn off now and
there s lamentable lack of interest
This is due. I guess, to the absence of
Jack Johnson from the scene of the
battle So far there has been no se
lection of a training camp for the big
smoke.' ,
"In the meantime Willard is pro
gressing finely in his training. His
wind has Improved and his weight is
down to 230 pounds, and he is faster
on his feet than I have ever seen him
before. His Judgment of distance has
Improved 50 per cent since Monohan
took him in hand. His sparring part
ners have been roughing him of late
and he takes the wallops and returns
terrific Jolts with complacency. His
one chief blow i3 a punch to the body,
which he uses to advantage, and folk
here flguie this Is the punch that will
get Johnson."
While there isn't any burning In
terest in the world at large concern
ing the impending heavyweight fistic
battle, everybody naturally has a
secret pining to seo the big cinder
whipped and his laurels wrung from
him.
In that halcyon period between lS3a
and 1500 there were at least five first
class heavies. Including Jim Jefferles.
Jim Corbett. Bob Fltzslmmona. Tom
Sharkey and Kid McCoy. Now there
does not appear to bo one good heavy
besides Jack Johnson, and. if Johnson
loses at Jaurez. the victory for Willard
will be more by default than by actual
achievement.
Nobody knows whether Johnson can
stand a gruelling 45-round fight. But
everybody knows that Willard will
have to show a lot more stuff than he
ever has before to become champion
of the world March 6.

SOX IN SAN FRANCISCO
PARTV AHEAD OF TIME TO SEE
OPEXIA'G OF EXPOSITION.
Several Recruits Are Taken By Rowland,
and More Than Few Places on
Teaaa Are In Donbt.
SAX FRANCISCO. Cal.. Feb. 21.
fSnecial.) Comlskeys Chicago White
Sox are here, several days In advance
of their intended schedule, to be on
band for the opening of the exposition.
Ed Walsh, veteran of the party, com
plained of a cold, so Instead of going
to the exposition grounds, he went to
the Olympic Club for a preliminary
workout. Tha others of the ballplayers
as well as correspondents were hustled
into machines and taken to the exposi
tion grounds. .
Two minor leaguers, headed for their
Coast League camps, were included in
the party. "Bugs' Reisigl. the new
t wirier of the Seals, and Dutch Klawit
ter, of the Oakland contingent, were on
hnarri the special, and lost no lime in
getting into touch with their respective
managers.
Reisigl. who is a stocky-looking chap,
drifted in on Wolverton during the
forenoon and announced that, given a
couple of days to look over the exposi
tion, he would be ready lo mi ior
Rhvpi Korinirs. He sizes up wen, ana,
judging from the reports. Will be a val
uable member of the team.
Rowland has several "rookies" witn
him. and more than a few of the posi
tions on his team are in doubt. Walsh.
with 12 years of service as a Sox heaver.
Is naturally the oldest of the men. oui
always a reliable performer. Scott,
Benz. Wolfgang, Faber, Jasper, Lathrop
and Russell are also holdovers. In ad
dition, "Lefty" Scroggins, of the West
ern League; Ed Klepfer, of the Pacific
Coast League, and Ellis Johnson, of the
International, are to be tried out.
Bunny Brief, from Kansas City, win
attempt to give Jack Fournier a race
for first base. Collins, at second, and
Buck Weaver, at short, are fixtures.
Jimmy Breton, 1914 holdover, will tussle
against Al Bromwlch, from Davenport,
and Howard Baker, a Central League
product, for third.
With Ping Bodie a Seal, there are
six outfielders from whom to pick,
Bobby Roth, Shann Collins, Larry Chap
pell. Ray Demmitt and Tommy Daly, of
the 1914 aggregation, and Happy Felch,
of Milwaukee, who hit .311 in 1914 and
has a record as a fence-buster.
San. Franciscans are going to miss
some familiar faces. Billy Sullivan, who
has worn a Sox uniform for 13 years,
received his release just before the club
left for the West. Jimmy Callahan,
manager of old. has been switched to
an executive position, and his duties
have held him in Chicago. .

Beaver Manager Rejects Roy Mitch-,

Negotiations for the release of First
Baseman Derrick, of the Portland

St. Louis Americans are nearlng a
head.
Walter McCredie has agreed upon the
acceptance. of First Baseman Coving

Roy Mitchell, pitcher, was the last

Browns' manager. Mack spurned
Mitchell because he was uec juwi i"

lejames Bitter and William Hollander,
inflelders. also were offered to Port
land, only to be turned down and later
sold to Wichita, of the Western League.
"I have submitted the name of an
other Southern Leaguer on the Browns
roster," said Manager McCredie last
night. "I will take Covington and
this man. whose identity I cannot re
veal at this time. He is an outfielder.
Covington is a southpaw thrower and
left-handed batsman, according to dope
furnished to Mack by Manager Dobbs,
of New Orleans. Dobbs brands him a
corking good ball player.
"I like him because he is a youngster
coming up fast," declared Mac. "Two
years ago he broke in at Denlson, in
the little Texas-Oklahoma League, bat
ted .301 and fielded .981. Denlson won
the pennant that year and Covington's
work was so noticeable that Birming
ham, of the Southern League, grabbed
him. .
"Covington made good and was Bir
mingham's regular flrst-sacker in 12S
games. He batted .254 and nelded .990
and was drafted by St. Louis. Birmingr
ham won the Southern League pennant
last year, so this Covington must be
of pennant caliber to hold his own In
that company."
Carl Mays will not have to report to
the Boston Red Sox until March 7, ac
cording to a circular he received, yes
terday from the club secretary. The
Red Sox will train at Hot Springs, Ark.,
and Carl was tipped off to take a bath
robe with him to encompass his 195
pounds on trips to and from the bath
house. . c
"Speck" Harkness is undecided about
his future plans in baseball. He has an
opportunity to go to New Orleans, in
the Southern League, but he says the
South is too hot. "Speck" has tele
graphed Harry Wolverton. of the Seals.
Tyler Christian, of the Oaks, and Cliff
Blankenship, of Salt Lake, to see if any
of these Coast managers has a va
cancy. If "Speck" fails to land on the Coast
he may accept an offer at Omaha.
The big twirler won 16 games and
lost only 12 In 1913 and he won six and
lost three last season, so has a good
record to point to. "Speck" won 29
games lor Portland in 1909 before he
went to Cleveland, so his stay in the
Coast League has been profitable to his
employers in the matter of wins and
losses.
There will be no fancy green sweat
ers or pink alarm clock mackinaws for
the Portland balltossers this year. Dis
gusted because his 1914 champions dis
tributed their emerald over-garments
promiscuously among women friends
when they departed for their homes
last Fall, Walter McCredie yesterday
announced tho he would not patronize
the woolen factories this year except
for the pitchers.
"I looked through the clubhouse the
other day," remarked Mack, "and there
wasn't a green jersey to be found
among the uniforms. A friend of mine
saw two women wearing them on
Guild's Lake during the skating sea
son and I guess that's where most of
them went. Only the pitchers require
mackinaws. so I will let the other play
ers skirmish for themselves this year."

MOTORBOAT CLUB HOST
YACHTSMEN OF PORTLAND ARE
ENTERTAINED AT SMOKER.
Continual Round of Pleasure Is En
Joyed and Closer Affiliation In
Future Is Suggested.
Under the direction of "General" Joe
Carter, chairman of the entertainment
committee, the Portland Motorboat Club
held a successful smoker last Tuesday
evening.
Fleet Surgeon Hill, in' full nautical
regalia, presided over a continuous
round of pleasure. Music, songs and
sketches were the order of the evening.
Messrs. Carter, Hey. Bob Wallace and
Jack Newbold furnished the musical
numbers.' The Yacht Club had char
tered a boat to bring its members down
to the motorboat grounds, under com
mand of Commodore Bobby Bain.
Commodore Bain responded in be
half of the Yacht Club with a message
of good cheer. Linn Marsh gave a
characteristic sketch in a humorously
serious vein of the good things that
fall to the lot of the average yachts
men. . Jimmy JDunn provoked much
mirth with his wondrous tales of Lon
don life. It fell to the lot of George
J. Kelly to introduce the new commo
dore of the Motorboat Club. He left
nothing unsaid that was worth know
ing about his "naval majesty."
Commodore Beebe responded, outlin
ing his policies for the season of 1915,
and struck the keynote of co-operation
among the clubs on the river for a
bigger and greater yachting year. He
said it was the Portland Motorboat
Club's desire to bring together the
yacht and rowing clubs' members with
those of the Motorboat Club in pulling
off various regattas, especially during
the Rose Carnival.
Commodore Beebe announced that for
three months the initiation fee of mem
bership in the Motorboat Club will be
suspended and a membership campaign
soon will be inaugurated.
George L. Baker expressed his keen
interest in tho sport of yachting, ac
knowledging that the closest he ever
came to the sport was from the deck
of an ocean liner. '
. Refreshments were served at a late
hour.
It is probable that a committee will
be appointed from the Motorboat, Yacht
and Rowing clubs to meet with the
Rose Festival management with a view
to arranging for a water regatta dur
ing the carnival.
The local river clubs comprise nearly
500 members, representing nearly as
many boats, and it is believed that a

Gloom in basketball circles at the Ore

The Aggies, however, are 60 per cent

"Doc" expects two fast scraps, and

(Special.) Good old Oregon rain took
a hand In the proceedings here today,
with the result that Swimming In

had to postpone many of the stunts
planned for the afternoon. The morn
ing was clear, but soon after 1 o'clock

the ballroom of the hotel. Everything
has been done to make the outing one
great success, although the number of
visitors was reduced because pf the
weather conditions In Portland when
the special train left. Mr. Moore has
several surprises in store for the Port

until tomorrow. Norman Ross, Jack
Cody, Louis J. Balbach and Miss
