Champion Says lie Is In Hands of

Opponent for Gameness and
Says Injury Saved Knockout.
BY W. O. M'GEEHAX.
JiEW YORK, March 26. (Special.)
Jess Wiliard. still champion heavy
weight of the world, left for Chicago
this afternoon with his right hand In
splints but able to keep a. firm clutch
on J32.000, the amount which remained
of $40,000 paid to him before he en
tered the ring with Frank Moran. after
Tom Jones and Jack Curley had "got
theirs."
Frank Moran nursed two bruised
eves, some resentment and about 1S.
000. Tex Rickard nursed a few regrets
over the $20,000 extra that might have
been taken in had those in quest of
standing room been permitted through
the police lines, but on the whole he is
decidedly cheerful. The 13.000 persons
who saw the bout Saturday night prob
nbly are nursing somewhat mixed emo
tions. Wiliard May Retire.
The chances are that Wiliard will
never enter a ring again. Dave Lewin
Bohn. Rickard's Chicago agent, is au
thority for the statement that the
champion was reluctant to sign for this
fight. Only the lure of $47,000 brought
him into the ring with Moran. He de
clared that he did not like fighting
and that he expected to quit the game
as soon as lie could.
By the way. this same Pave Lewin
john was one of the most intrepid men
at the Garden Saturday night. He
came into the place with $60,000 in
large bills tucked into the sock on his
right foot. And the place was full of
-Wall Street brokers and traction mag
nates. Wiliard demanded $40,000 the mo
ment he entered the building. The
first word uttered by the champion
was "Where is the kale? I won't go
into the ring until I get the kale."
Moran Refuse Money.
Whereupon Mr. Lewinsohn grace
fully elevated his right foot and ex
tracted from the silken hose five
$10,000 bills and two $5000 bills. Mr.
Lewinsobn was the secret stakeholder.
Everybody knew this but a squad of
deputy sheriffs and process servers.
Moran refused to take the money until
after the fight. He was able to sign
a receipt for $20,000 in a steady hand.
There were no splints on it to make
the pen Joggle.
The pure Spring air was cluttered
up with rumors of a return match be
tween Wiliard and Moran. The red
Irishman is still convinced that he can
knock out Mr. Wiliard. He is earnest
ly desirous of a return match.
Frank Moran probably will be cham
pion in a year or so. Not because he
-will knock out Wiliard in that time,
but because in 12 months more Mr.
Wiliard will be a portly gentleman
with a strong aversion to training for
a prizefight, but Curley and Jones have
in mind a match for him here this
Summer with Fred Fulton, the Roch
ester giant who weighs 220 pounds.
Wiliard to Join Circus.
Wiliard expects to join his family at
Chicago some time tomorrow and he
will rest until the last week of April,
when he will begin a six-months' tour
with a circus.
Speaking today of his bout with
Frank Moran at Madison Square Gar
den last night. Wiliard said:
"Moran is a great, strong fellow, both
clever and full of courage, but I think
1 could have knocked him out last night
liad I not injured my hand early In the
fight. The doctor says I will not be
able to use my right hand for at least
two weeks. As to fighting Moran again
or F ul ton or any other man, my mana
ger will ha-ve to attend to that mat
ter. I am willing at any time to de
fend my title."
Walter Monohan, one of Willard"s
trainers, was with the champion, who
did not show a mark from last night's
contest.
Moran Wants Another Fifth t.
Moran was up early this morning
end received many callers at the hotel.
The Pittsburg man's face was puffed
mid his eyes discolored from Wiliard's
Wt-hand jabs, but he was cheerful.
He was unwilling to admit that Wiliard
beat him and contended that if the
teventh round had gone a minute long
er he would have knocked out the
champion.
"1 want another go with Wiliard"
(aid Moran. "and would like it to be for
0 rounds or more, as I am not at my
, rest in a 10-round bout. In six weeks
I will be ready to meet Wiliard or any
other big fellow they match with me.
Believe me. I am not going to remain
idle, as 1 know I possess every requi
site to win the title."
AMORT REFUSES TO AVRESTEE
Title "Won by P'luke From Clark Is
Xot Risked In Bout.
In the Pacific Northwest Association
championships held recently at the
Ilultnomah Amateur Athletic Club Paul
Amort, of the Oregon Agricultural Col
lege, threw George Clark, of the Mult
nomah Club, in one minute and 20
seconds on a fluke. He thereby won
the Northwest championship. After the
match Clark did not feel that Amort
was the best man, so asked him for a
return match.
Amort said then that he would wres
tle the Winged "M" grappler if he
would come to Corvallis. It was ar
ranged for George to go to the Aggie
school one week ago yesterday, which
lie did. He made the trip with the
Washington State College grapplers.
who were meeting the Aggies in a dual
jneet.
But when Clark got there Amort re
fused to go on with the match, saying
that he would be gaining nothing by
taking another chance with Clark.
Clark took on some other Aggie man
nd defeated him.
Clark and his instructor. Eddie
O'Connell. are a bit peeved at Amort
for not going on with the Multnomah
boy after agreeing to do so.

third successive year.
The University of Pennsylvania bas
ketball team will meet Princeton in a
post-season game in Philadelphia to
morrow night to decide the intercol

Pennsylvania faculty gives consent.
The Princeton players have already se

Coach Herrick is giving the first and
second Harvard eights workouts on the

the race with Princeton, will be ready
soon.
At a meeting of the International
League, held in the McAlpin Hotel, New
York, recently it was announced that
the season would open April 26. The
player limit was raised from 16 to 17
and the transfer of the Jersey franchise
to James R. Price and Fred Tenney, of
Newark, was ratified.
For once, the majority of Portland
fans are convinced that a wrestling
match is to be cn the square. The old
grudge whici has existed between
Frank Vance and Eddie O'Connell is
bound to make their match here on
April 7 one of the genuine merit order.
It looks now as if the Phillies will
have a good claim to the championship
of Florida, as there is no chance for
the Red Sox to get near there.
Efforts are being made to organize a
Wisconsin-Michigan baseball league as
a successor to the old Wisconsin-Illinois
League. Frank E. Murphy, of
Green Bay, Wis., ex-president of the
latter organization, is directing the ef
forts along this line. He proposes that
the league be made up of teams repre
senting Escanaba, Marinette-Menominee,
Gieen Bay, Appleton, Oshkosh and

sliip received $425, Layton $325 and
Clark, Greanleaf and Ralph $221.06
each. The five men tied for the next
position got $92. Allen won $25 for
high run. As the players who took
part in the tournament have the right
to challenge first, these who tied drew
lots for the right. Layton gets the
nrst chance as a result.
Bert Forbes Arrives.
Bert Forbes, who meets Joe Benjamin
for the featherweight championship of

Club tomorrow night, arrived yester

CLUB GIVES FIRST PROGRAMME
Pool and Boxing Matches Make Card
Interesting for 200.
About 200 persons gathered at the
Rose City Park Club Saturday night
to witness the first athletic entertain
ment held by that organization. The
evening's entertainment opened with a
pool match between J. Pauer, of the

The lightweight and featherweight
went four rounds at top speed. "Fight
ing Billy" Murray refereed the boxing
matches.
AGES, WEIGHTS AND EVERYTHING
Winner of 85-Yard Hurdle Sure to
Get Credit for World's Record.
Weather Can Have No Effect
on Games In Big Stadium.
World's records are likely to be
broken or tied at the first annual Far
Western indoor track and field cham
pionships of the Amateur Athletic
Union at Corvallis. Or., next Sat
urday afternoon. Three world's in
door records have been made in the
big armory of the Oregon' Agricultural
College.
The 23 1-5 seconds for the 220-yard
dash indoors was tied by Captain Wal
lace Kadderly. of the Oregon Aggies,
at the Northwest Conference meet last
year, and he also established a new
world's mark for the 40-yard dash in
doors, doing the distance in 49 4-5 sec
onds. Captain Hoover, of the Whitman Col
lege, went the 220-yard low sticks in 26
seconds flat at the same meeting, tieing
the world s mark.
Dr. E. J. Stewart, director of athletics
at the Oregon Agricultural College, was
a Portland visitor yesterday, and he
expressed confidence that the Far
Western indoor meet at Corvallis next
Saturday afternon would see some
great work done by the many athletes.
"We have done everything possible to
make the coming meet a success," said
Dr. Stewart last night, "and the track
will be in better shape than any track
on the Pacific Coast. We held the
interclass track meet yesterday and
while nothing out of the ordinary was
done, still, all the athletes were 1
pretty fair shape.
"There is one athlete sure of making
a world s record at the meeting. He
will be the winner of the 85-yard high
hurdles. As far as I can find out. there
is no record as yet for the high hurdles
at that distance, so whoever wins the
gold medal will have the honor of a
world's record.
"The track has been banked with the
greatest care andit will be faster than
any track in the Northwest. Arrange
ments have been made to start the meet
around 1:15 o'clock, so that all th
events will be . completed before 5
o clock.
"No one but the competitors and offi
cials will be allowed on the inside of
the track. This Is one rule which will
be rigidly enforced. The track is a
220-yard affair, and this will make it
possible for the low hurdles, something
that most indoor meets are unable to
schedule.
"Let it be understood that the weath
er will have no bearing on the meet.
It can rain as hard as it likes, but the
events will go on as if nothing was
happening. There is no possible chance
for rain to interfere with the pleasure
of the spectator.
Sam and Ty.
(Crediting Service "with hiB proper ratio.)
Just Sam and Ty the words ana small
Few little letters unto each;
And yet you will not find in all-
The wide, wide range of baseball speech
Two more so wondrously complete;
When Bugdom raves in accents high
Be sure It ranks no stars more sweet
Than Sam and Ty.
Just Sam and Ty It's hard to guess
Which of the two were best to own;
Sam without Ty means one run less,
Ty without Sam might not get home!
Though each alone will often do,
Tho pair together never die;
Don't figure one jufit count on two.
Both Sam and Ty.
John H. McGough.
The Dynamite.,
MR. M'GOUGH'S pleasing lyrical of
fering suggests a topic for to
day's dissection.
In each batting order, or in most
batting orders, there is a cluster of
dynamite arranged for the production
of runs. Sam and Ty. or Ty and Sam,
form this run-making cluster for the
Tigers. Last season they had but one
real rival pair in the big leagues, viz.,
Cravath and Luderus.
But the walkover for 1916 will not
be so complete.
Rival Rattine Pairs.
Cobb and Crawford should still lead
the list for another year, although
Sam is now 34 years old. But in addi
tion to Cravath and Luderus, two noted
sluggers who did eo much for the
Phillies, there will be further oppo
sition from the two Yankee mates
Ma gee and Baker.
Cobb will outbat Magee. but Baker
should outbat Crawford, and you will
find the Magee-Baker combination
quite near to the redoubtable Tigers,
renowned in the Sagas of Swat, Magee
should bat .300, with Baker around
.325. and as the former is also fast and
a star on the bases, he should deposit
many a precious tally at the plate
through his own ability and Baker's
deadly eye and swing.
The Giant Entry.
Thero is still a fourth brace to con
sider. Larry Doyle and Benny Kauff,
of the Giants. Doyle led the National
last season and Kauff led the Feds.
Both are fine hitters and inclined to
the long distance type.
These two should give the Cravath-
Luderus team a great battle in the
National, for, while not so lusty at the
slugging game, the two Giants are
much fleeter than their Philly rivals.
The White Sox.
The most dangerous combination of
all even upon a par with Cobb and
Crawford belongs to the White Sox.
Collins and Jackson should average

ALBANY, Or.', March 26. (Special.)
People of Albany and Linn County
are watching with, interest the work of
the Bigbee boys in their first entrance
into professional baseball in the Port
land training camp at Sacramento. The
boys are Lftin County products and al
though they are young, they have
played baseball for several years. Their
father. Professor C. F. Bigbee, of Leb
anon, was the first pitcher to throw a
curved ball in this section of the state;
so the boys have grown up in a base
ball atmosphere.
Three boys compose the Bigbee fam
ily and all have played ball since they
were large enough. After playing on
Juvenile teams, they got their first real
experience at the Albany High School.
During two seasons all three of the
boys were on the team.
Morris Bigbee. the eldest of the three
boys, made the University of Oregon
baseball team when he entered that
institution, as did Lyle and Carson
when they entered the university at
intervals of a year apart. Not only did
the boys play on the high school team
here, but the three of them played on
town teams in Albany and in many
games the Bigbee boys were responsi
ble for almost all of the run-getting.

on a couple of good bantamweights,
with an agreement that if he wins his
first two bouts a (San Francisco club

accept for a while.

The bout between Al Sommers and
Billy Weeks, to be staged Wednesday
night at Centralia. Wash., has been
changed from four three-minute rounds
to six two-minute rounds. It is thought
that this will help the game in Cen

from Jack Reams asking him to come
back to Oakland. Cal., and box two or
three four-round engagements. Billy
has declined, preferring to loiter around
the Pacific Northwest for a while.
