SAN FRANCISCO. Cel.. Feb.
Speculation continue to be the princi

outcome during; th coming year. Col
leges, school and clubs of the West are
practically agreed that all branches of
sport should b continued on a broad
a acal aa possible during the progress
of the war.
At the moment it would sppear that
so. far as Intercollegiate rowing is con

nounced today by the I. il. C A.
A meeting of prominent college

made to assist the Y. SI. C. A. in

hold their varlou regatta.
Baarball "aa tauaL"
Baseball trill be continued as nearly
aa possible along pre-war line, al
though It la bellevad by many that the
quality of gamea offered may suffer
because of tb absanc of many star
hrough volunteering and th draft.
Officials, both of th Pacific Coast
League and the newly framed Pacific
Coast International Leagu. formerly
the Northwestern League, appear opti
mistic In tht respect, however.
Practically all of th California ten
nis stars, who are Nationally known.
already are enrolled In the service of
he country. This, It Is contended, will
afford an unusual opportunity for the
youngster to lore Into th limelight
and beoom known.
Golf, with lta larger proportion of
men above the draft age, seems to be
leas affected by th war than most of
th other branches ef sport.
That yachting will continue to hold
th Interest of its devotees Is best at
tested by th fact that reports from
varloua. parte of th country Indicate
that many new craft. both sail and

There appears to b no question as
to th future of trap-shooting. . With
th encouragement of shooting begotten
of the war. this sport enjoyed an ex

Two big athletic fields have been
laid out at either end of Camp Lewis
at American Lake, Wash., and stands
with a seating capacity of from 16,000
to 18,000 persons erected at an approxi
mate cost of 13000 each. The work
was done under the supervision of Cap
tain T. G. Cook, athletic representative
of the War Department commission on
training camp activities The expense
was met with funds derived from ath
letic contests and entertainment given
by the men.

Instructors has been instituted In the

Kearny. Linda Vista, Cal., by Captain
John R. Case, Jr., athletic representa
tive of the W ar Department commis-
lon on training camp activities. One
lieutenant and one non-commissioned
officer from each company have been
detailed to take the courses which In
clude boxing, wrestling and calisthen
ics. Classes ar held three times
weekly and the officers in turn in
struct their men in what they have
learned.
a
Enthusiasm for boxing Is running
high among the soldiers at Camp
Gordon, where . the National Army
roops from Georgia, Alabama and
Florida ar stationed, according to
the weekly reports made to the War
Department commission on training
camp activities by c A. Boyer, the
commission's athletic representative
here
Tbe boys are crazy over the boxing
game, Mr. Boyer has written the com
mission. "In some of the barracks the
men have portable boxing platforms
which can be easily assembled and
boxing and wrestling bouts held on a
few minutes' no tic. There ax also
V - , in iitin,:(,"r r
several platforms out of doors which
are almost in constant use."
Director Boyer has had the outdoor
basketball courts at the camp strung
with electric lights and the soldiers
are now playing by night. He also has
found that tug-of-war Is a popular
pastime among the men and that it
is particularly adaptable for camp
recreational purposes because of the
large number of men who can partic
ipate. In contests held here in the
last week, as many as 600 soldiers have
taken part.

Baseball scribes in the big circuit
will find it an easy task to pick an all
American team this year. It will not
be necessary to go outside the Boston

While the controversy over the use
of the spltball has not set the world
afire, it is a relief to hear the magnates
squabbling over something else besides
money.
Two persons were recently fined for
conducting baseball pools in St. Louis.
It showys that somebody in St, Louis is
interested in baseball.
Judge McCredie will order that all
his baseball players be vaccinated. He
fears an attack of pennant fever would

According to Bill O'Donnell. the sim

Dolph Thames Doesn't Propose to Give

Case of Return Match.
SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 13. (Special.)
Dolph Thomas, who is home with
Frankie Farren, expects his scrapper
will have a layoff of several weeks at
least before he can get muck into the
ring. Farren returned to San Fran
cisco last Friday night week, just in
time for the four-round scraps. Ho
has to make the rounds on crutches
and fairly was lifted into the ring for
his introduction.
A physician who examined the boy
said that the ligaments hal been torn
loose and that it was altogether a mat
ter of conjecture as to when he would
be right. -
Thomas, speaking of the possibility
of a return match with Trambitai,'
declared that he would like to arrange'
one, but Trambitas is much larger than
Farren and he doesn't propose to give
away a lot of weight.
Tommy Simpson, who returned from
the Northwest on the same train, an
nounces that he is getting ready to
take Ortega into Seattle on March 1
for a return match with Al Sommers,-
who was given a draw In Portland.
Simpson admits that Sommers will have
the pull In weight but avers that he
doesn't care If he weighs a ton.
The four-round game in San Fran
cisco seeme to be back on a substantial
basis. The promoters have at last got
the crowds coming their way and with
good cards, which, however, don't cost
a fortune, they figure to do some good
in the way of making a little moneyj
Well - known professionals are still
