3 SEPTETS TO PLAY
Spokane Will Not Be in Hockey
- League This Season.
PLAYERS HARD TO FIND
President Patrick, of the Pacific
Coast Hockey League, Announces
That Portland, Seattle and
Vancouver Will Contest.
VANCOUVER, B. C, Dec. 20. Port
land. Seattle and Vancouver, B. C, will
be the only teams In the Pacific Coast
Hockey League during the 1917-18 sea
son, Frank Patrick, president of the
league, announced here today.
Because of a shortage of players,
Spokane will not be able to enter a
team in the race. The season will open
December. 28 with Vancouver at Portr
land.
PORTLAND ROSEBUDS PRACTICE
Prospects Look Good for Locals In
Coming Season.
The Portland Rosebuds enjoyed their
first regular workout of the season last
night when Manager Bryan sent the
hockeylsts through one and a half
hours of strenuous drilling at the Ice
Palace. ,
Eddie Oatman was on the Ice for the
first time since his arrival from Otter
ville, Canada, and the way he chased
the puck up and down the ice and made
accurate shots at the net surprised the
spectators. Oatman has lost none of
the cunning and speed which character
ized his wonderful playing of two sea
sons ago..
The star rover showed a bit of ex
cess weight last night, but expects to
be in condition within the next two
or three days. Oatman -has the rover's
Job clinched and stands a good chance
of being appointed captain. Manager
Bryan would be wise to select Oatman
to lead the team.
"Smokey" Harris, although still a hold
out on the salary question, reports for
practice each night and has been show
ing his old-time form. When it comes
to handling opposing players in a rath
er rough fashion you have to take your
hat off to "Smokey." This lad is one
of the most rugged players In the busi
ness and can stand more rough housing
than any player on the team. Last sea
son a number of the visiting teams
tried to put Portland's Btar left wing
"hors-de-combat," but Harris always
came out victor.
Manager Bryan will have a talk with
Harris on the salary question within
the next day or so and it is expected
they will come to some definite agree
ment. It is to be hoped that Harris
will be in the lineup when Vancouver
comes here to open the season, Decem
ber 28.
According to Manager Bryan. " Clem
0"Laughlin has not yet left Winnipeg
for Portland. According to the latest
word Bryan has received from Clem,
the defense player intended to leave
Immediately, but Bryan says O'Laugh
lin has not yet taken up his transpor
tation. From the way Al Barbour is per
forming each night Manager Bryan
need not worry much whether O'Laugh
lin comes to the Coast or not. Bar
bour is playing a wonderful game at
right defense, and bis work has made
an impression with the fans, and all
the players say he will be a hard man
to beat out of the position he is now
playing.
Tommy Murray, goal; Dunderdale,
center; Charlie Tobin, right wing, and
"Moose Johnson, left defense, are all
In good shape and ready for the open
ing game. Charlie JLTksila is working
out each night and may get one of the
spare positions.
The probable lineup of the Rosebuds
against Vancouver, December 28, fol
lows: Goal, Murray: left defense, John
son; right defense, Barbour; rover. Oat
man: center, Dunderdale: right wing,
C, Tobin, and left wing, Harris.
That combination appears to be the
class of the league and, barring serious
accidents, ought to be a sure pennant
winner.
As long as the teams put up a fast
and Interesting game Portland fans
will turn out for the games.
CANADIAN AMATEURS WARNED
Hockey Teams Advised to Be Care
ful -Who They Play.
The directors of the Eastern Canada
Amateur Hockey Association, the gov
erning body of Ice hockey in the East,
have warned the- Canadian amateur
teams under what conditions they can
play hockey at Pittsburg. Cleveland,
Detroit and other American centers.
When the Royal Canadians, of Otta
wa, arranged a" match with the Pitts
burg Athletic Association team some
time ago, they were notified by the
governing body that they must not
compete against Pittsburg until the
standing of the players was investi
gated. Secretary Melville, of - the Canadian
body, telegraphed to A. W. Moeller,
secretary of the International Skating
Union of the United States, which body
controls amateur hockey, regarding the
standing of the Pittsburg club and
was strongly advised not to allow any
of the Canadian clubs to compete
against them,, as their standing was
doubtful, none of the players being
registered.
John T. Taylor, secretary of the
Pennsylvania branch of the Amateur
Athletic Union, also notified Secretary
Melville that the standing of the Pitts
burg club was doubtful.
The Ottawa team evidently adjusted
matters, because it played Pittsburg
and was unable to break a 2-2 tie.

tonight, where Joe Rivers, one of the
country's most famous lightweights,
will meet Joe Benjamin, of Portland,
in a scheduled six three-minute round
main event. Rivers and Benjamin
have trained hard for the match and
are in good condition. Rivers has met
all of the best lightweights In the
United States with the exception of
"Irish" Patsy Cllne, and he expects to
beat the Portland lightweight. Ben
jamin appears full of confidence and
says that he will show the fans that
he is a real contender and is entitled
to the lightweight championship of the
Pacific Coast.
Rivers went through some light
gymnasium exercises yesterday and
will take things easy today. Rivers
has several matches In view in Seattle
and Tacoma before he goes back to
California. . The Mexican is angling
for a position as boxing instructor at
Fort Dodge, N. M., and may be called

ner of tonight's contest may meet Alex
Trambltas here January 11.
The semi-final between Harry An
derson, lightweight champion of Can
ada, and' Jack Wagner, the fast com
ing Portland lightweight, Is attracting
a good deal of attention. Wagner has
progressed fast of late. Anderson is
one of the best lightweights on the
Coast. Now that he has a chance at a
real boxer Wagner can see nothing but
a victory. Anderson, as usual, has
not had much to say, but has been
training hard and expects to win.
George Brandon will clash with
Danny Edwards in the special event,
which promises to be a fast bout.
Each boy wants a chance at Billy
Mascott for the bantamweight cham
pionship of the Northwest and the
winner probably will be matched with
Mascott. Brandon and Edwards will
fight at 118 pounds.
Every card Is designed to have a
slam-bang battle on it, and in this
case it is Jack Allen vs. Roscoe Tay
lor. Jack and Roscoe usually mix
from gong to gong when they box.

the curtain-raiser. The Boxing Com
mission will choose a referee at the
ringside.
MAZAMAS TO MAKE HIKE
PARTY WILL GO TO ASCHOFP'S
FARM AT MARMOT, OR.
Dance Also Will Be Feature and Big
Dinner Will Be Enjoyed by
Members of Club.
The Mazamas announce one of their
biggest events of the Winter to take
place during the Christmas holidays.
The scene of tha festivities will be
the Aschoff farm, at Marmot, Or.,
where the hikers will spend the better
part of two days, leaving Portland at
noon, December 29, and returning late
Sunday night, December SO.
The outdoor enthusiasts will leave
the city on the electric train for Bull
Run, a picturesque spot In the Sandy
River Canyon, 31 miles to the south
east of Portland. From here they will
hike seven miles through the moun
tains to Marmot, where the big Aschoff
farmhouse is located. After supper an
entertainment will be presented lor
the city pilgrims, winding up in a
dance. The Mazamas will take their
own orchestra.
The night will be spent at the
Aschoff place, which has, upon occa
sion, accommodated 200 guests. The
next day. Sunday, hikes will be en
Joyed through the big timber and the
picturesque surrounding country. Mar
mot is usually snow covered at this
time of the year, so snow sports will
also probably be enjoyed on Sunday.
A big dinner will be served in the
afternoon, and later the crowd will
hike back to Bull Run in time to catch
the 6:15 train for Portland.
The Aschoff place has always been
a most "popular spot with the Mazamas.
Every year two or three small side
trips have been made there, and an
nually a scheduled trip is announced
for the club members and their friends.
Expenses of the trip are exceptional
ly moderate. The round-trip fare to
Bull Run is SI. The night's lodging
at the Aschoff place will be 50 cents
per person and meals will be 35 cents
each, including the big spread Sunday.
The only other charge Is the regular
5-cent fee collected alike from Mazama
members and guests on each trip with
out exception.
Instead of being In chrage of a sin
gle leader, this trip will be under the
auspices of the local walks committee,
as it is of such general interest. A.
Boyd Williams is chairman of the
committee. and further information
may be obtained from him or by tele
phoning Mazama headquarters, Mar
shall 1400.
Three parties will leave Portland
Saturday afternoon on the trip. Trains
leave First and Alder streets at 12:45,
3:45 and 5:55 P. M.
Complaint, however, is registered at
what is regarded as favoritism In high
quarters at permitting such well
known fighters as Benny Leonard, and
others In the service, to leave camp and
box any time they desire. Boxers in
camp, who happen to be privates and
less known, declare that the order
should apply equally.
Ted Lewis, welterweight champion of
the world, won a decision over Bryan
Downey, after 12 rounds of fast milling
in Columbus, O.. the other night.
Eddie Campi and Lee Johnson were
scheduled to box four rounds in. the
main event of a boxing show at Em
eryville, Cal., which is Just out of Oak
land, Wednesday night. After two
rpunds of hugging and stalling the
referee took pity on the crowd and
threw the boxers out, calling It no con
test. Neither boy showed any Inclina
tion to fight. A referee stopped a bout
in San Francisco recently and all of
the Oakland papers gave the game In
San Francisco a good panning. Now
it will be the San Francisco papers'
turn to-go after Oakland.
Al Sommers, middleweight cham
pion of the Northwest, has started
training for his 10-round bout with
Billy George in Bend next Monday
night.
Eddie McGoorty. the Oskoosh, Wis.,
middleweight who has fought everyone
of prominence at his weight in the
world, arrived In San Francisco from
Australia a few days ago. Eddie fought
a number of battles while In the Anti
podes, Including two with the late Les
Darcy.
Sam Langford stopped Kid Norfolk
in two rounds In Denver recently.
FRESHMEN TO CONTEST
SEPARATE ATHLETICS FOR MEN
OF FIRST YEAR PLANNED.
Lefts and Rights.
The boxers at Camp Lewis are out
of luck as far as making-any money
on the side by boxing is concerned.
Brigadier-General Irons issued an order
the other day stating that hereafter no
one in the Army stationed at Camp
Lewis would be allowed to accept any
money for boxing. A number of the
boys had been annexing a few dollars
by boxing in Seattle and Tacoma.
The order prohibiting them from
taking money for boxing is pronounced
unfair by .hose who have been reap
ing the profits, although from the
standpoint of the soldier-spectator,
with a salary of $30 a month, it will be
a benefit, since now he will be able to
see fights in camp for 10 cents or
nothing, where formerly outside of
camp it cost him 50 cents and more.
Basketball Now Occupies Attention of
New-Termer at the TJnl
veralty mt Ore com.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Euarene.
Dec 20. (Special.) Freshman athlet
ics at Oregon will be maintained sep
arate from varsity sports, since Oregon
is a member of the Pacific Coast con
ference, which bars first-year men from
memDershlp on varsity teams.
This does not mean that freshman
athletics are to be frowned upon at
Oregon, however. The university is
doing everything within its power to
encourage tne first-year men to put
teams into the field in every line of col
lege sport. Separate schedules are ar
ranged for them, and the student coun
cil has provided that numerals be giv
en to inose wno male tne freshman
teams.
Basketball is now occupying the at
tention of the babes, and Coach Walk
er s can tor candidates has been an
swered by a score of material of such
caliber that the mentor is having dlf
ficulty In selecting a five.
Starr, of last year's Monmouth His-h
School team, appears to be the most
likely candidate for the center posi
tion, while Jacobberger, from Columbia
University, and Durno, who received
his prep training in Silverton High
ecnooi, snow tne most promise as for
wards.
Picking two guards from among the
IB who are seeking the positions is not
a simple task. Indications are that
these berths will be filled from among
the following: Hollenbeck, from the
Vancouver. Wash., High School; Ellisi
a Dallas lad, who Is showing consider-
aDie speed; Mautz, a Washington High
husky; Blake. lone High School; Chap
man, wno saw four years of interscho
lastlo basketball with Marshfield: Les
lie, of Coquille, and Gamble, who made
a name for himself in Portland High
School circles while playing with Lincoln.
MANY TO TRY FOB TURKEYS
Entries in Golf Clnb Handicap for
Saturday and Sunday Numerous.
Dr. W. I. Northrup, chairman of the
Portland Golf Club handicap committee,
is busy receiving entries for the turkey
tournament, next Saturday and Sun
day. From indications there will be
an unusually large number of golfers
out trying to land one or more gob
blers for Christmas dinner.
There will be no limit to the number
of turkeys a player may win, because
Dr. Northrup announces members can
enter as often as they wish, provided
they pay the 60 cents entrance fee.

BROWN HAS PLAN
Community Owned Baseball
Aggregations Advocated.
FANS URGED AS OWNERS
Vancouver Club's President Sue
gests That With Several Hundred
Supporters, More Interest in
Game Would Result.
Community owned ball clubs will be
the salvation of the great American
pastime. In the opinion of President
Bob Brown, of the Vancouver baseball
ciud, and winner of half a dozen North
western League pennants since he first
started piloting clubs In this section
or the country.
President Brown is going to follow
in the steps of President Rickey, of
the St. Louis Nationals, and give every
fan In his city a chance to become a
magnate. If other clubs throughout
the country would do the same base
ball would become the greatest pastime
of the age, declares the Vancouver of
ficial.
I am convinced that a community
owned baseball club will prove the
salvation of the game," declared Brown
In discussing the situation. "Whethei
the time will come when all clubs are
operated on the same basis as the St.
Louis National League club I decline
to hazard a guess, but I believe that
the interests of the game will be
served by giving everyone Interested
in baseball a chance to Invest and take
more than a passing interest in the
game.
If it is at all possible I intend to in
troduce the community owned baseball
plan In Vancouver next season. The
Northwestern League, with Portland a
member, promises to be one of the best
minor organizations in minor league
baseball, if we are successful In get
ting a class A rating. Northwestern
League fans will be provided with a
brand of ball not excelled by any other
class A organization in the country.
With better baseball I believe the fans
will take more interest in the- game
if they are given a chance to take an
interest in the individual club. The
community owned baseball club will
insure keener competition and it is
what we want in minor league base
ball."
