It was at this session that they knocked the baseball world topsy turvy by announcing; their decision to wipe the Northwestern League off the baseball slate and paddle tneir canoes In the future under the title of Pacific riuat International I-eaitue.

The leading trap-shooting clubs of t Standing- room was at a premium yesterday at the Columbia Club's gym nasium. Eleventh and Morrison streets. where Battling Ortega, who will meet AI Sommers Wednesday night, held forth for two hours, during which he displayed his ability to box, skip the rope, punch the bag and chase his shadow" around the ring to the curious fight fans who crowded every nook of the gym, eager to get glimpse of the Call forn lan. Ortega started off the afternoon s workout by pummellng the punching bag. and played a continual tit-tat-too against the stand. Then the dark- skinned battler skipped the rope for 25 minutes, after which he took on hree of his sparring partners. Judging from his freshness at the conclusion of the session with the padded mitts, he could have ' taken on about two dosen more boxers. Big Jack Clifford did not show up at training quarters. The chances are hat Clifford preferred to observe the Sabbath without trying to stop an al most unlimited amount of wallops di rected at various parts of his anatomy. Ortega, while he was fast and howed plenty of dash In his ability to step sround, could not put the steam Into his punches that he would if he had the privilege of boxing with heavier and more experienced oppon nts. He Is In perfect physical condi tlon and primed for a great battle against Sommers. Al Sommers went out on the road yesterday morning, and in the after noon went through 10 fast rounds with his sparring partners. Muff Bronson was the first one to mix with Som men, and the fast lightweight had to step lively while be faced Sommers. Al worked like he never worked be fore. The Portland middleweight re alisea he Is up against the best boxe of his weight in this section of th country and is leaving nothing un done in order that he might step into the ring with Ortega ready for the battle of his career. Jimmy Duffy showed the fans that his opponent will need more than tw eyes and handa in order to nit mm unless he travels at a mlle-a-minut clip. Duffy was as fast as a strea of lightning in yesterdays workout. and It was the consensus of opinion that Frankie Tucker has his work cu out for him next Wednesday nigh when he faces the San Francisco light weight. mah Water Polo League at the M.

While Billy Mascott and Weldon Wing were working sealously at the! respective training quarters yesterday, two admirers of the boys got into mlxup at the Columbia Club's gym naslum over the respective ability of their favorite boxers. "Anybody who comes from Albina can whip the best that South Portland has, said an admirer of Weldon Wing, who is scheduled to meet Billy Mas cott. "And. further than that, they have beaten South Portland at base ball and football, and next Wednes day night you 11 see Wing show era how to lo it In the ring." Is that so TT came back a strong sup porter of Mascott. 1 111 here to tell you that Wing can't beat Mascott any more than you can beat me, and ir you tblnk you are a better man than I am we'll settle the argument right here Only the Interference on the part of bvstanders and officials of the club prevented a battle between the sup porters of the rival lads. Tommy Simpson, manager of Bat tling Ortega, arrived yesterday from Oakland with Frank Barrleau, and the latter continued on his way to Boise, Idsho. where he is scheduled to battle tonight.

Th character of these men Is beyond re proach and their Interest In the game as sport Is well known to all followers o tennis.

COLLEGES MUST PAY TAX TEX PER CENT OF ItECEIPTS FROM GAMES GO TO WAR FIND. Teat Claim Made by University of Chi cago I Lout Ruling Applies to All Contests Slaee November 1. . Colleges must pay 10 per cent of their football and other athletic receipts to the Government war fund. Institutions that neglected to tax their patrons at the gate will have to dig down into their own pockets and settle with Uncle Sam. This was the decision received by In ternal Revenue Collector Julius F. Sniietanka. of Chicago, from B. C. Keith, Deputy Commissioner of Internal Revenue at Washington. It applies to all contests since November 1. The decision was put up to the Wash ington officials on a test exemption claim made by the University of Chi cago on the ground that the profits derived from football and other athletics are used for educational purposes. The Collector at Chicago assigned men to nves'igate the case, and they reported that, in their opinion, the university, should pay the tax. The report was forwarded to Washington several weeks ago and, pending a final ruling from Washington, the university officials withheld payment. Mr. Smietanka said that the university should have levied the 10 per cent tax on individual patrons at the gate, but failed to do so. This was by advice of counsel. It was claimed at the uni versity that notification had been ob tained from Washington to the effect hat the university did not come with- n the meaning of the law. Squirrel Food. GEEi: It was chilly yesterday. If the cold weather continues the ath letes will have a new morning exercise thawing out water pipes. An athlete wanted to know how far south the frozen north extends. George Larktn, Mayor of Newberg, says it reaches to Billy Sullivan's apple . or- hard. Personally, we do not pretend to be very gond at figures, but Al Baum and Judge McCredie soon will be giving battle to the Insurance companies, who ways seem to be doing well at fig- res. mm There was a littl man and he had a little gun.

Now that Al Baum has challenged Judge McCredie. the peddlers of lead pencils will do a thriving business. Yesterday the Judge purchased enough Imanacs and scrap paper to fill an rdlnary truck. The Portland magnate is bound to show somebody up, but why pick on Baum? UNIVERSITY OP WASHINGTON, Jan. 20. (Special.) In a final effort to bolster Washington's basketball team before the opening of the confer ence season Friday night. Coach Hunt has persuaded Ernest Murphy, giant football star, to turn out tomorrow. Murphy, while an All-Northwest foot ball man twice, has , never played col lege basketball, and it is doubtful if he can do much more than make the rest of the squad hustle during the first week. His presence on the team is expected to add fight and speed, and by the time of the second series, against Pullman next month, he should be in shape to take his regular turn. Team's Outlook Poor. As a high school athlete at Wallace, Idaho, Murphy was considered one of the best centers in the state, and he has also played guard. Where Coach Hunt likely will use him is a matter of conjecture, and probably a chance will be given him in all the positions. Coach Hunt is not at all satisfied with the showing of his squad so far. and with O. A. C. opening here Friday night for a' two-game series, he does not hold out high hopes for either con test. In practice games so far the first team has lost twice to the Seat tle Y. M. C. A.; and local high school teams have held them practically even. College of Puget Sound, Tacoma, lost by a 25-to-20 score after a great up hill battle. Mti Are Inexperienced. Not an experienced man is on the first squad, and besides this essential, they lack speed and weight. Wilson Ide, guard and center, is the biggest and speediest man of the lot and has shown up well so far. Gilsaly and Charles, both former Broadway men. have been holding forward positions, with Halbrook and Nelson alternating. Slack, at guard, plays a good game in spots and Is death on free throws. When he has Ide for a running mate. Jamieson, the tallest man on the squad, takes center. Following the two Oregon Agricul tural College games, the varsity will have two weeks in which to prepare for Washington State College, which is reputed to have a strong five this year. 'FREE RUSSIA' CLUB RAIDED Quantity of I. W. W". Literature, Wrapped for Mailing, Is Seized. KANSAS CITY, Jan. 20.

Princeton University has returned to the athletic fold. No longer will it be represented by "informal" and min or sport teams. Its famous Tigers hereafter will do battle in all branches of Intercollegiate sport. They will be known as varsity teams, and the stars will be awarded the coveted "P's," as was the custom before the authorities placed the ban on major sports when the war broke out. The board of athletic control at Princeton has placed its approval on all athletic activities. Its members have expressed themselves in favor of resuming all sports on the ground that they are a valuable adjunct to military training. Economy Is Urged. In granting its sanction for the re sumption of all sports, the board at Princeton made only one stipulation that athletics be conducted on a much less expensive plan than heretofore. For this curtailment there is a reason, according to the members of the board . Th. nihl.Ho a a uhri n t i n n itt UL WllllUl. uii.iuii- " ' - . . . in financial difficulty at nresent and! cannot look to the university for sup port. As a result of the board's verdict more serious attention Immediately will be bestowed uuon the work of the crew, and it is expected that a record number of candidates will report to Dr. J. Duncan Spaeth and Trainer Fitz patrick for work on the machtnes. Indications are that an elaborate programme will be arranged' for the Spring, which will include a triangu lar meet with Columbia ana uorneu on Carnegie Lake and a dual meet with the Navy. It also is probable that the Tiger varsity crew will be seen in competition in the big regatta on the Schuylkill in Philadelphia. ' Track Candidates In Field.
