THE MORNING OREGONTAN', TUESDAY, JANUARY 18, 1916. 18 PULLMAN TO ALTER RULE ON FRESHMEN Colin V. Dyment Says Wash ington State May Adopt k. Non-Freshman Plan. OLD CONFERENCE DOOMED president of Xcw Pacific Coast In tercollegiate Association Sees Handwriting on Wall Diet' ' Opinion on Oregon Out. Washington State College Is prepar ing to adopt the non-freshmen rule in athletics. Professor Colin V. Dyment, cf the University of Oregon, president of the newly organized Pacific Coast Intercollegiate Association, was a Port land visitor a day or two ago and tipped off this information. Of course, it is too late this year for Washington State to take any action regarding the playing of fresh men in baseball, track and football. At the next meeting of the Pacific Coast Association, however, it is ex pected that Washington State will have delegates present and will apply for membership. The University of Idaho, too. is said to be on the verge of falling in line with the larger universities and ac cepting the inevitable. With Stanford University already practically assured as another mem ber of the big Coast Association it takes no abnormal stretching of the imagination to see the doom of the old Pacific Northwest conference. At present two conferences are in existence. The Pacific Northwest em braces Washington, Washington State, Idaho, Whitman. Oregon and the Ore gon Agricultural College. This associa tion permits the playing of freshmen. The Pacific Coast conference, organised in Portland last December, embraces Washington, Oregon, the Oregon Ag gies and California and bars the play ing of freshmen. Thus it can be seen readily that th two associations overlap and that their rules are radically different. At the December meeting, Washing ton State announced that it was quite willing to Join the non-freshmen clique but as Washington State earlier had taken a staunch tand in behalf of the two smaller institutions Idaho and Whitman it could not consistently desert these smaller institutions at that time. Now. however, it is quite apparent that the non-freshman rule is bound to prevail and Washington State and Idaho are said to be ready to accept the inevitable and climb aboard the band-wagon. Stanford already has been voted a member and further applications will require a unanimous poll on the part of the present members. Bill Diets, the Washington State foot ball coach, has a high opinion of the University of Oregon eleven as it finished last Fall. Diets thinks that Oregon will defeat the University of Washington when these two varsities battle in 1916. Oregon and Washington did not meet last Fall. Fans will recall that Gimour Dobie got up on his high horse and side-tracked Oregon and its signed contract in favor of a couple of games with California. Bexdek's outlook at Oregon will de pend in great measure upon whether his 1915 players return to college or not. Last year all the 1914 crew were eligible and Bex was looking forward to a great season. Then Sam Cook de verted to go to Montana: Bryant and Parsons found their finances too low to permit them to enter and Wlest and Garratt also were missing at rollcall. Already one of Oregon's available stars for next Fall Is lost to the team, ilalfback Bigbee has signed to play tViseball with the Portland Coast club. Bigbee Is a big husky lad weighing about 175 pounds strip weight and an all-around athlete. He excells In base ball as a pitcher. In basketball and in football. HOT Cl.rH CHASE POSTPONED Condition or Weather Allows No Setting of Exact Date. fnow has forced the postponement of the Portland Hunt Club's paper chase three times already and. accord ing to the present outlook, it cannot lie held for a week or so more. The ipipatlent Hunt Club coursers. In their warm stalls, tugging at their halters and threshing around nervously in anx ious attempts to get out and race away over the trail mapped out for them by M rs. Natt McDotigall during the last week of December, seem to be implor Ing the weather man to be kind enough to allow them to get In the fray at onre. No one can explain to the horses about low barometers, storm pressure areas or any of 'the reasons for the postponements. Usually New Year's day in Oregon is always balmy, or. at the worst, only drippy and drizzling, with plenty of sloppy mud-puddles, and a the horses splash along through the woods they are used to swishing their tails over sprouting ferns and tender pussy-willow buds. The horses can't he made to believe that they are not rping discriminated against, and from looking at ihem. seemingly pining for tlio day of the chase, one can tell that they are kicking about it. President James It- Murphy has set no exact date for the chase, but will at the first sign of Tain or enough warm weather to thaw out the frozen e round. SEALS MGX IP JERRY DOWN'S Return of Last Year's Timely Hitter Welcomed by Wolverton. SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. IT. (Special.) The first contract of 191S has been signed with the San Francisco club. Jerry Downs, the second baseman, got together with Manager Wolverton to day and put his name to the docu ments. "I am mighty pleased to sign up Jerry." explained Boss Harry. "We have been dickering for the past week, and now everything is settled, with both sides satisfied. Jerry played great ball for us last season. He improved wonderfully in his fielding, and his timely hitting was a feature of our victories. He looks good, and I am counting on him being of much value to the club this coming season." The other regulars under contract include Skeeter Fanning, Autrey, Ping Bodie and Poll Perritt. They were signed last Fall, and from now on all the papers will be rolling Into the office. LEAKD PLANS TO LEAD CLCB Wolvrnon Promises Him His He-lea.- if He Lands Pilot Job. SAX FRANCISCO. Jan. 17. (Special.) Bill Leard. who arrived from New fork Sunday night to cat away. JromJ the cold weather, was In conference with. Manager Wolverton today relative to being disposed of by the Seals. Bill explained that he has a chance to be come manager of a Northwestern League club, and requested the privi U ia Hn kottii dickering. Wolverton told the Inflelder that if he could obtain a position of manager the Seals would tender him his uncon ditional release, as it would not want to stand in the way of bettering him self. Just what club Leard has in mind was not made known. CASHMERE PLAY'S WENATCHEE Award of Game Depends on Final Decision of Close Score. WENATCHEE. Wash., Jan 17. (Spe cial.)

Athletic Stars. Johnny Wolff Is Declared to Be Kqnnl In Hla Day of East's' Math ewsona. Benders and Ollphants. THE East may have its Christy Mathewsons. its Benders, its Oll- Dhants and its Thorpes bears for ver satility but the West has a few itself. Take Johnny Wolff, tor instance. The well-known motorooat demon has been participating in all sorts of sport for nigh onto 30 years, and he has shone brilliantly in everything ne nas unaer Years ago Johnny first sprang into the limelight as the all-around gym nastic and field athlete of the Turners hereabouts. Johnny also played short stop on the Northwestern champion Torpedoes tn bygone aays. He was and is an expert rifle phot. a daring and intrepid mountain climber, a strong swimmer and an. expert boxer. Johnny used to box the beBt amateurs during his school days around San Francisco. As f urfher evidence of his versatility ha butted into the bike game, and ped dled himself into the amateur cham pionship at all distances in the North west in "95, "96 and '97. Still later Wolff tried his nana at rowing, and pulled stroke oar on the Northwest champion Junior crew of the Portland Rowing Club. Johnny never forsook the water after that, even goin so far as to use It lor cnasers. It was Wolff who built and sailed tne Swallow, the champion sloop of the Willamette River, and his exploits as a builder and driver of champion mo- torboats Is known throughout tne en tire country. Wolff's Oregon Wolf IV at one time held the world's speed record for motorboats over. a 30-mue course. His boat averaged 42.8 miles on a six-turn course, as against 42 miles or thereabouts for the Dixie IV. Wolff Is not the only all-around atn- t in the Northwest, but he has cut quite a swath In his day. His brother. Carl, also was a great aimeie. -a" was one of the greatest football play era ever turned out in this section. Carl also excelled as a weight heaver on various track teams. ; I JESS DISCUSSES FIGHT TERMS Heavy Champion Confers With His Manager Over Moran Bout. j v 4 i a err V AT iv. Jan. 17.

Wis. 4 Add to the foregoing a couple of bouts around Tacoma since the first of the year, one a nlp-and-tuck affair with Joe Bonds, the 190-pound Taco ma boy, and you have a good line on Frank Farmer, the Sumner, Wash., light-heavyweight who combats with Al Sommers at the Rose City Athletic Club, East First and Morrison streets, tonight. Many old-time fans compare Farmer, with Bob Fitzsimmons and there is quite a little resemblance. The Sumner boxer is a rangy chap as was Fits, practically the .same weight and height and possesses the same regard for big, heavy boxers. "Frank, never has been defeated by anyone near his weight." said Sammy Howard, who is with the lanky north erner. "When he arrived at my club in Oshkosh last Summer, he was un able to obtain matches with boys in his class and having just knocked out Ned Carpenter, a 220-pounder, I took him to Eau Claire to meet Fred Fulton, who was then a novice. Fulton was alto gether too long-armed and big for the Washington boy and the police stopped the affair in the sixth round." "I don't believe that there is a boy at 158 pounds, and he can make that weight, that can beat my protege ana after we get through in the Northwest, we are going after big game, Clabby, Gibbons or Ahearn." Sommers has been working earnestly and weighed 161 pounds yesterday. He is in the "pink" of condition and full of confidence. If Al can hold his own with the lanky Farmer, he need not fear any middleweight' in the game. Some wise heads believe that he is tackling too tough a customer in the Sumner boxer, but it is a good op portunity for him to find out just how good he really is. It is mighty hard to hurt good defensive boy like Sommers in six two-minute rounds and he is hardly making a mistake in grabbing the match. There will be six bouts in all. Next to the main event, the go between Tommy Clark, always aggresive, and Ed Boatright, former Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club welterweight should be the most Interesting. Billy Mascott will tackle Shel Mc Cool. a favorite 122-pound boy, who is coming fast; Jack Allen vs. Young Blazier. 135 pounds: Oscar Gardner, Jr., son of Oscar Gardner, the Saginaw Kid, former world's champion, vs. Earl Zim merman and a match between George Sommers, brother of Al, And a boy to be named today complete a really classy card. Frank Farmer has a match lined up with Joe Bonds to be staged .at the Glide Skating Rink, Tacoma, the latter part of this month. He says that after getting through with this affair he will be pleased to come back and take on Earl Miebus, that is, if he disposes of Sommers. Although the referee gave Battling Levlnsky a decision, Tom Cowler, the English heavyweight picked up in Portland by James J. Corbett, easily earned the verdict in a 12-round bout put on by the Armory Amateur Ath letic Club, Boston, last Tuesday night. The Herald and other papers some what roasted Referee Charley White, of New York, for giving Levlnsky the edge and speak favorably of Cowler. Mysterious Billy smith was in cowiers corner and when Introduced received a great .reception. Charley White, of Chicago, and Joe Azevedo are the at traction at this club tonight. Ted "Kid" Lewis and 'Willie Ritchie have been matched to appear in a return bout under the same conditions that governed tbelr former match. The date is January 28. and place. Madison- Square Garden, New York. In their last meeting lor the welterweight title, Lewis gained the popular decision. The coming contest will go ten rounds as did the first. Vnim cr AhArn and MikA Gihhnns fight in St. Paul tonight In their last contest Gibbons won decisively but Ahearn has shown marked Improve ment, having defeated several good boys since.

New York this week, would not be per mitted. Charlie Harvey, promoter of the bout, has declared it off. Able Gordon had better dig for the tall and uncut.

TOM SEATON HERE; WQNDER5WHATNEXT Former Portland Twirler Would Like to Know What'll Happen to Him. CASH TALKS IN CONTRACT 'Ballplayers Who Didn't, Jump to Outlaw League Were Suckers," Says Pitcher, Who Cites His Own Case as Evidence. BY ROSCOE FAWCETT. I Tom Seaton. former Portland pitcher and still later a star with the Phillies, and in the Federal League, wants to land next year either with Detroit 'or the New York Giants. Seaton and hla wife a sister of Jacques Fournler. of the Chicago White Sox were Portland visitors yesterday, en route for New York via Colorado. Tom has an $8500 contract with the Newark Feds, good for one more year, and be has a hankering to know what they are going to do with him. Aon-Jnmpera All "Suckers." "The ballplayers who didn't jump to the Federal' League were suckers," said Seaton last night. "Look at me. I won 27 games for Philadelphia and they of fered me 3500 for the next season with a prohibitive bonus offer attached. Lit tle wonder I jumped when the Brook lyn Federals came along with a three year contract calling for S8500 a year and other extras." Seaton also tipped off some of the inside negotiations relative to a trip of Coast Leaguers sought by the Feds this Fall. "Ray Bates, of the Portland Club, was a chump," said he. "I offered him a Newark contract good for three years at $4000 a year, and he stalled along until he went East and did not sign at alL Now he is with. Vernon, and will be lucky to get $1800 a season. He lost about $6000 by his lack of courage. Gedeoa to Slake Deal Stick. "I signed Joe Gedeon. of the Salt Lake club, to a $4000 contract for three years, and be will make it stick. Jimmy Johnston, of Oakland, also grabbed a nice fat contract when he signed with Stovall." Seaton doesn't think Philadelphia has a chance to win the National League championship again. "Why, the throwing of these Federal League stars into the two big leagues is sure to revolutionize things," he de clared. "Joe Tinker will just about land the National League title. Tinker had a better team in the Federal League last year than the Phillies, and when he scrambles these In wltb the Cubs be is certainly going to have 'some' club. "The Detroit Americans and the New York Giants will be the best clubs for pitchers. Each needs three or four good pitchers, and I intend to try to land on one of them. My arm went bad on me last year, but it is right now, and if I don't have a good year in 1916 I never will have." Another ex-Portland twirler, Carl Mays, of the Boston Red Sox, went East yesterday to prepare for Spring training. Mays will stop off at Tulsa, Okla. for a few weeks. "SPOKANE CLTJB DILATORY" At I-east Multnomah Is "at Sea" Over Visiting Representatives. According to Frank Harmar, chair man of the boxing and wrestling com mittee of the Multnomah Amateur Ath letic Club, the Spokane Club is dilatory in naming their representatives to the dual meeting to be staged in the Port land gymnasium Friday night. They have named Duncan Andrews. 125 pound wrestler, and Bill McKevitt, 145 pound wrestler, to oppose Virgil Ham lin and Arthur Bohosky, of the Mult nomah Club, respectively. Ralph Un derwood. 125-pound boxer, and Albert Byers, 135 pounds, have been selected by Tommy Tracey to represent the club. The Spokane institution has changed continually its representatives in the manly art of self-defense until the winged "M" officials don't know where they stand. It is believed, however, that Wade, 125-pound boxer, and either Holcomb or Bland at 135 pounds, will be the entrants. Byers, the Portland boy who formerly boxed at 125 pounds, has taken on weight, and from now on will enter as a lightweight. WILLARD GETS $32,500 CHAMPIOW SIGNS TO FIGHT MORAN IN APRIL.'
