"Do you want tennis to be placed once and for all upon an absolute ama teur basis." he asked, "or do you want to leave it exposed to the dangers of commercialism?" Mr. Adee said that four of the lead ing sport organizations the lntercol legiate Athletic Association of Ama teur Athletics, the Amateur Athletic Union, the United States Golf Associa tion and the National Collegiate Ath letic Association have shown the way by adopting rules similar to those awaiting approval of the tennis asso ciation at the annual meeting in this city on February 9.

PORTLAND QUINTS MAKING SCHEDULES Peninsula Park to Play In dians Here and Other Games Are Sought. GOLDENDALE IS WINNER Fast Newsboys Fire Ofrers to Give 'Away Weight to Get Matches. High Schoolers Soon to Open Season. Coach Al Bartholemr. of th Penin sula Park first basketball team, has made arrangements to bring the Chem- awa Indian quintet to Portland for a game in the Christian Bros Business College gymnasium a week from Sat urday night. Complete negotiations were made yesterday, and now efforts are being made to secure a prelim inary match. In all probability the Peninsula Vikingswili hook up with the Chris tian Bros. College juniors for the 125 pound championship of Portland for the 1917 season. The first game will start at 7:45 .o'clock P. M. Charles Botsford, of Reed College, will likely referee the main event. Homer Jamison, coach of the Jef ferson High School basket tossers, was named to referee the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club-Oklahoma State Normal School clash in the Winged Tvl" gymnasium next Saturday night. Jamison was an All-Northwest player while attending the Unlv- rr'ty of Ore gon, and he has been officiating for some time. He refereed several of the club battles last Winter, and he is ex pected to be present at most of the coming engagements. Manager Abe Popick, of the George Washington Camp "Wows," has been asked to take his aggregation to Gold- endale. Wash., for a game Friday night. The Goldendale athletes think they have a championship squad, and as a result they have been writing to Manager Masters, of the Multnomah Club, for a contest. Goldendale averages better than 65 sounds to the man. say several -f the -Portlanders who have competed against the team, and the hall in which the matches are staged is somewhat cramped. As a result the smaller con tingents which have traveled to that place have been laboring under extreme difficulties, it is said. m It Is hardly likely that the Multno mah . Amateur Athletic Club hoopers will have an opportunity of giving Goldendale a game this season, as Manager Masters, of the clubmen, at last thinks that he has lined up a good schedule for his side. The first game is called for next Saturday night and from then on until around March 1 he has selected all the Saturdays. Several of the dates are tentative. mainly because of the mixup in the con ference schedules. It is almost certain that only college or university squads will be taken on by the club, although there are many Independent town squads which would like to pit their strength against the clubmen. The Portland Newsboys' first basket ball players met yesterday and elected Harry Hafter to captain the 1917 team. Harry is well known in Portland's in dependent basketball circles, and is a popular player. He was a member of the star Newsboys quintet of several years ago, conceded to be the fastest squad of its weight at that time. Few teams have accepted the chal lenge of the Newsboys issued by Man aged Dave Schneiderman. His squad averages around 125 pounds, but as a last resort he has issued notice that he will tangle with any basketball team averaging between 135 and 140 pounds. Call Main 6228 or write to him in care of the Neighborhood House, Second and Wood streets, Portland. Abe Unkeles. who handles the second Newsboys, would like to hear from Captain Lou Herns, of the second B'nal B nth quintet, for a match. He can be reached by writing to the Neigh borhood House or calling Main 6228. Manager vCohn, of the B'nal B'rith basketball players, can be reached at Main 3088 or Main 8021 after 6 o'clock P. M.

COAST RULE IS NOT AFFECTED Judge McCredie Says Teams Must Have Four Youngsters. Judge William Wallace McCredie, president of the Portland Baseball Company, says that the decUsion of the National Baseball Commission handed down at Cincinnati on Monday, wherein it ruled that the only tests that should be applied in the engagement of a minor league ballplayer upon his wil lingness to play for a salary within the prescribed limit of the club desiring his services should be his eligibility to contract will not in any way affect the "four youngster rule" adopted at the recent Pacflc Coast League meet ing at Salt Lake. "The "four youngster rule' is the Pa cific Coast League's own inner work ing, and the National Commission has nothing to do with it. If any of the owners in this circuit breaks the com pact which has been formed between us they will be suitably fined," said Judge McCredie. Monday's ruling of the National Com mission was rendered as a result of resolutions adopted by the National Board at New Orleans reciting that the Muscatine club, of the Central Associa tion, had subscribed to a rule prohibit ing the employment of five veteran ballplayers on its team.

Referee Rocap announced he gave Herman nine rounds. Williams eight and three were even. After the fight Williams declared he had not had "a square deal" and asked for a return match.
