Portland took advantage of "Cy clone" Taylor's illness last night at the Ice Palace by slipping over a 5-3 vic- tory on the Vancouver hockey expo nents. For the first 30 minutes the ; Portland septet was outskated, out- combinationed and outgamed, and then i the Uncle Sams came to life, tied a ; 2-1 score and finally surged into the lead on the stretch with the winning ' goals. A slight in5ury to Dunderdale about five minutes from the finish, with the ecore 3-3, gave Dick Irvin a chance to i Jump Into the affray, and this little black-haired Winnipeg boy saved the I day or rather the night. Twice in quick succession Irvln fietted the puck, the first from Smoky I Harris in 15:45 and the second on a 1 pass from Captain Tobin in 17 minutes. L Johnson and Murray In Light. About 2200 spectators witnessed the j Affair, and. were it not for the whirl wind finish there would have been a striking dearth of enthusiasm. Up to Irvin's sensational debut into the soiree, "Moose" Johnson and ..Tommy Murray "hogged" all the cal cium. Murray's whirlwind goal-tending saved score after score, and, when he wasn't busy sticking his anatomy in the way of whizzing rubber discs, "Moose" Johnson was poke checking somebody to the Ice or madly dashing toward the Vancouver goal. Captain Tobin was noticeably off his game, and it were well that Murray and Johnson met with no mishaps or Incapacitations. Cyclonf'T Absence Snown. Although the visitors played sterling hockey in the first period, leading 2-1 at the finish, something appeared lack ing in their lineup. And, you wouldn't miss it a mile by guessing that that something was "Cyclone" Taylor, rated by many as the greatest hockeyist in the business. Moynes a tall, angular fellow tried to act as fourth man in the Vancouver offense, and, while Moynes held his own with his team mates, he'll have to grow bald in the head, more unerring as to stickwork and several speeds faster on his feet to make up for the famous "Cyclone." The game was unusually free of pen alties. Dunderdale drew three minutes in the second period for illegal use of the shillelah. Moynes drew a like sen tence in the third period. "Moose" Johnson shot a beautiful unassisted goal when the Sams were their man ehort in the second period. Johnson's goal put the locals ahead, 3-2. Tli f summary follows: 1'ortland (u) Murray O...

CUT IN SALARIES AGREED Interest Centers on Move to Change Rules Giving Batter Greater Ad vantage Two-Year Xotlce of Abolishing 'Spit Ball' Likely. .NEW YORK, Dec 15. After a ses sion lasting four days the National League club owners ended their annual meeting here tonight. During the day President Dreyfuss, of the Pittsburg club, endeavored to get his brother club magnates to agree to a reorgani zation of the National Commission. He based his plea for that proposed change on the outcome of the Slsler case and said that the commission should be made nonpartisan by appointing some person unidentified with baseball aa chairman in place of Garry Herrmann, of Cincinnati. Chairman Herrmann in reply said that he was willing to resign from the commission if such action would benefit organized baseball, but all of those present except Dreyfuss declared they old not relish any change in the per sonnel of the supreme court of base ball. All Agree to Lop Salaries. The declaration that "players" sala ries must be scaled down" met with unanimous agreement. The prevailing opinion was that if clubs desire to meet operating expenses and realize a fair interest on the money Invested, the high salaries brought about by the Federal League war must be cut down considerably. A readjustment of the gate receipts for the world's series was advocated and discussed at length. There was general sentiment in favor of players other than those of the pennant-win ning club being benefited fianclally. The question will be passed upon at a meeting at which both major leagues will be represented by their presidents or committees. The league took no action regardin the proposed changes in the price of tickets for the world's series, leaving it to be decided by a joint committee from both leagues. The league voted In favor of restrict ing the number of 25-cent seats in sev eral cities, principally fit. Louis and Philadelphia. Rule Change Advocated. Much interest was shown In the sug gestions offered by Percy D. Haughton, president of the Boston club, that the rules be changed so as to help batting and strip the pitchers of some of their power. Mr. Haughton expressed the opinion that the baseball public likes plenty of hitting and lots of scoring, Pitchers battles present nothing thrill ing to the ordinary fan, he argued, and to sit for two hours and watch a pitcher mow down one player after an other without a hit grows monotonous. He contended that much of the pitchers' supremacy is due to artificial means. The moist ball, the resin ball and the emery ball were all criticised. Al though many of the club owners thought the wet ball ought to be abol ished, it was decided not to prohibit it without two years' notice to the pitchers. The emery ball is now under the ban and the use of resin may be barred by next season. Plan Is to Aid Batter. The most radical change suggested to improve the batting was to limit the number of foul strikes to one. This would rob the" pitcher of a chance to have the second strike called on a foul ball. Another suggestion was to give a player his base on balls on three Instead of four balls. These changes were deemed certain to force the pitchers to put the ball over the plate where the batsman would have a chance to hit it- According to Secre tary Heydler, the league records show that it is the good batters who get all the passes and not the weaker ones. What the leagues Intend to do, Mr. Heydler explained, is to pass new rules so that the good hitters can have a better chance to show their batting talent. All suggestions were referred to the rules committee which will meet the rules committee of the American League in February. 30 WILL TAKE PART JX RIDE Portland Hunt Club to Stage Cross country Event Today.

Contest for Intersrholastle Football Offered to Be Played at Any Time or Place. Title If the Washington High School foot ball team accepts the challenge issued bv the Jefferson High eleven, Port land followers of the Portland Inter- scholastic League will have an oppor tunity of seeing a post-season game for the 191 championship of the circuit. Captain Gorden Giebisch, of the Jef- fersonlans. sent a letter to the Wash ington High management yesterday saying that the Blue and Gold team would play any time and any place set by their opponents. The result of the official schedule was five wins and no defeats for Jefferson and four wins with no defeats for Coach Earl's team. Since the schedule was completed last month there has been considerable comment as to which team was really the championship squad and as a result Captain Giebisch has come out with a challenge. If a post-season match Is staged it 111 be the first since 1910, when the Lincoln High met the Washington High on the Vaughn-street grounds late In December. Coach Jamison Is heartily In favor of the proposition. All that Is needed Is a little time to have both teams in condition. HUNT SUCCEEDS D0B1E CARLTOS COLLEGE COACH ELECT ED TO PLACE AT WASHISCTOX.

Chandler Egan Adriira Trial of Llnka to Man Mho Made 153 Rounds of 18 Holes Each In 1016. TTTHEN Chandler Egan. of Medford, V V former National golf champion was a Portland visitor last week, some body introduced him to Ft. T. Cox. prominent member of the Waverley country uiud. "Do you play golf?" queried Mr. Egan. after the handshaking. "Yes. a little," replied Mr. Cox. "Great game." added ex-Cbamplon Egan. "You ought to spend a little time on the links and really get onto the hang of the sport. "I hope to be able to devote some of my spare time in 1917 to the game." replied Mr. Cox. winking at a mutual friend, who was present. "In the first 11 months of the present year I was able to get out for only 153 rounds of the 18-hole course at Waverley. played only 15,132 strokes in that time. But some day I hope to have some spare time to give to golf. When Mr. Egan recovered from his faint it was explained to him that Mr. Cox held the record for marathon golf at Waverley for the year 1916. Ellis Bragg and R, P.

MANY SAY WILLARD HAS NO SINECURE Terry Keller, Who Trained Car pentier, Insists French -Boxer Will Win. WEIGHT RAPIDLY GAINING Golden West Athletic League Pre pares Card for Next Week's Smoker Decision Against Muff Branson Held Debatable. Norman Selby, who Is "Kid" McCoy in the fighting world, is quoted in the Eaet, as being of the opinion that Georges Carpentier will outpoint Jess Willard If they do finally get together in a 10-round tilt in New York. McCoy is not alone on the Carpentier side. There is a' Swiss personage in Portland right this minute who should know what he Is talking about, and he sides with the former middleweight cham pion. Terry Keller, the heavyweight who will appear at the Rose City Athletlo Club next Tuesday night, wae Carpen tier's chief sparring partner when the latter boxed Gunboat Smith in London July 16, 1914. This was the French man's last big fight before he joined the aviation corps of the French army, where he has been decorated for bra very by the French government. "Carpentier would punch Willard full of holes in 10 rounds," said Keller last night. "I will go as far as to say that he will defeat him In a 20-round bout, Georgea is one of the headiest heavy weights in the game. From all accounts he has been training right along with his military work. He weighed about 175 pounds two years ago and. as he will be only 23 years old next month, it is to be presumed that he has gained ten pounds since. He ought to weigh 185 when he meets the champion. carpentier was a bantamweight In 1909. a welterweight In 1910 and 1911. a middleweight in 1912 and a light heavyweight in 1913. He grew up in the boxing game, Georges has been beat en by Billy Papke and a couple of others; but it must be remembered that he was a green kid stacking ud against experienced ring generals. l conditioned Carpentier for his bout with Ounboat Smith in London July, 1314. when he won on a foul In six rounds. The Gunner was all but out when he committed thefoul. purposely, 1 think. Carpentier knocked him down in the fourth round. A knockdown ends a round in London. This saved Smith from a sure knockout. It was a scheduled 20-round fight. Georges is the speediest big man in the world and speed Is the thing that will beat the fellow with bulk and weight. Moran didn't have It and Car pentier has. I watched Carpentier from the beginning and I tell you he Is the most resourceful fighter that I ever knew or boxed with. He is amazingly fast, a perfect marvel of action and has two wonderful hands. "He flattened Joe Jeanette twice In their fight in Paris with short right hand punches. Little inside right-handers, mind you, punches that K.id McCoy showed him. 1 predict right now that Willard will be seen kicking on the floor at least once during the 10-round argument if they get together. He may stay down, too. for a fellow his size will find it hard to get up after once falling. , "They're mad about Carpentier In Paris. It's a wonder that their adula tion has not turned his head. But. it has not. He's a clean liver. I admire Carpentier. He is a wonderful fellow and has a fine personality Everyone who meets him falls for him. He never 'raps' anyone, having a boost for all." Manager Moore, of the Golden West Athletic League, yesterday announced the complete card which will be pre sented by that organization at the Eleventh-street playhouse next Friday night. It follows: One hundred and twenty-five pounds. Joe Gorman vs. Lee Johnson: 165 pounds. Jack Simms vs. "Young Jack" Johnson: 135 pounds. Ted Meredith, of Bremerton. vs. Frankie Sullivan; 158 pounds. Al Som mers vs. Kddie Palmer: 133 pounds. Hilly Nelson vs. Hughie Delaney, of Everett; 116 pounds. Jockey Bennett vs. Danny Edwards, of Oakland. Walter Knowlton was to have met Meredith, but Sullivan was substituted because he beat the fireman Thursday night. Hughie Delaney is the colored lad whom-Sullivan knocked "blind" in five rounds a while back. He wants another chance and most of the fans think that he is deserving. Jack Grant will referee the three main bouts, with "Denver Ed" Martin handling the others. Lee Johnson and Joe Gorman will both go to their homes in .Oakland right after their bout to spend the holi days with relatives. Johnson is then contemplating an Eastern trip. Gorman will return here and will also Invade Seattle. Private reports from Seattle would Indicate that "Muff Bronson was at least deserving of a draw In his fight with Harry Pelsinger, of San Fran cisco. at Seattle Thursday night. The Pacific Coast featherweight champion ship changed bands with the debatable decision. Weldon Wiog. the local bantam weight, who beat Bud Itidely on the same card at Seattle, will remain there for a couple of days and perhaps for longer If he can be rematched under the proper conditions. Ernest W. Jor genson, who looks after Weldon, said this last night. "Jorgy" did not go up with the Portland lad. as he could not get away from his work for that length of time. Jack Reed, "ham-and-egg" Australian lightweight, passed through Portland yesterday from Seattle on his way to Denver, where he meets Sailor Kirk, another one of the same braid. In a 15 round bout Christmas night. That is, Reed says he has the fight. Jack White, lightweight brother of Charley White, arrived here yesterday looking for trouble. He has met some of the best lightweights in the game. Harry Weber, who seems to be look ing after the Interests of Ad Santel here, yesterday announced that he ex pected a signed contract from the San Francisco heavyweight wrestler today which would be all signed and ready for Eddie O'Connell to give the O. K. In It Santel will agree to throw Eddie 20 times In an hour for a side bet of 11000. Weber says that he will post 1250 to bind the bargain just as soon as the contract arrives. O'Connell has agreed to do the same thing, so the match looks like it's on. It will take place within a fortnight. James J. Richardson, who has taken Joe Gorman under his wing, says that Gorman will have to beat Lee Johnson or get as good as a draw with him to continue under Jimmy's guidance. Rich ardson agreed to look after the Oak lander under those conditions. Eddie Gorman has already gone home. WiigSS rrprrrc MQfiiPv Don't Forget the Motorist!

At Meetlna; of Stockholders of Club Board of Directors Is Re-Elected. Murphy to lie President. SALT LAKE. Dec 15. (Special.) The annual meeting of the stockhold ers of the Salt Lake baseball club was held today. The present board of di rectors was re-elected, although a bit of an Insurgent movement developed. but did not amount to much. At the directors' meeting on Tuesday Frank S. Murphy no doubt will be re-elected president of the club. Figures submitted to the stockhold ers showed that the Salt Lake club's receipts at home in 1916 were a trifle ess than S8,U00 and their road earn ings a little less than $30,000. The at-home revenue was largely due to three weeks of cold weather when the regular six-bit fan sought the sun shine In the two-bit bleacers. The club paid $8000 for ballplayers dur ing the season and sold $5200 worth. The women s coupon book system proved a great success, the income from books being $1400, and the secre tary figured that an average of 33 wo men who had no books paid the full fare of 75 cents every day in the sea son, money which would have escaped under the old system of ladies' days. President Powers, of the Angels, and Judge McCredie, of the Beavers, took samples of the books with them with a view to their adoption. The club has about $5000 on which to start the 1917 season. A bit of league meeting news was revealed today. It was action due to umpire trouble in Salt Lake and else where. Under the new order umpires will remain no longer than two weeks on any stand.
