VETERAX IS HERO OF RACE
ALLIES TAKE TO BASEBALL
Instruction and Equipment Are In
Demand In Europe.
NEW TORK, Oct. 20. The popularity
of baseball among the allied nation
abroad is spreading so rapidly that
there Is already a demand for simpl
instructions and rules of the game,
printed in foreign languages. To mee
these requirements several expert base
ball authorities are collaborating In th
preparation of a baseball primer which
will be distributed in various section
of Europe.
The pamphlet, which will be printed
in French, Italian, English and Spanish,
will carry the rules of the game in th
simplest form. In addition there will
be pages of explanations and answers
to the questions -which arise among
those who are playing their first con
tests. These' questions and answers
will be printed both In English and
various foreign languages in parallel
columns in order that when American
and foreign players or spectators meet,
-without being able to speak the lan
guage of their opponents or neighbors
in the stands, there may be a medium
of communication at hand. A glossary
of technical and baseball terms in all
languages is also to be appended.

CAMP KEARNEY. San Diego, Cal
Oct. 20. Strenuous work Is going on
here looking toward production of a
football team which shall satisfy ath
letic officers of its worthiness to rep
resent the ISth Division. About 40 men
are practicing daily under the eyes of
Joseph A. Pipal, local athletic director
for the Y. M. C. A., and sometime men
tor of Occidental college athletes.
Because of the newness of this divi
sion and Its great proportion of re
cruits to the trrined soldiers. Pipal Is
finding It difficult to obtain material,
specially as the recruits are held in
quarantine three weeks after arrival.
Some of the younger officers have
come to his aid, however, and any day
about 4 o'clock groups of them may be
seen in football togs awaiting the hour
of practice.
The division's first scheduled game Is
October 2, against a picked Navy team
representing the submarine base and
Naval reserve station at San Pedro. It
will be played at Los Angeles.

Commissioner for Ventura County, is
sending invitation! to many of the
The announcement that an all-star
independent football eleven was being
formed and was ready for all comers
has at last awakened the independent
football players, and five teams are now
getting ready to enter the field and
claim the independent championship ot
Oregon.
The All-Stars met yesterday after
noon and elected Dick Sharp manager.
It was decided to name no set captain,
but let that honor alternate between
Bob Tucker and "Ick" DeCuman. The
name of the team is still up in the air,
but one will be decided upon before the
end of the week.
When pruned down the average
weight of the team will be about 175
pounds, but enough light men will be
on the squad to shoot them in to lower
the weight average so that the team
can tackle elevens averaging from 143
pounds up.
The latest team to issue challenges
is the Liberty Eleven, an aggregation
of former newsboys and independent
players. Abe Brown, for three years
halfback and quarter of the fast news
boys' team, is manager and captain,
first practice has been called for to
night. Bill Kurtz, who starred for sev
eral seasons with South Portland, will
play one of the halfback positions, and
men of equally well-known ability will
be on the squad.
Arleta has played several practice
games this season and is anxious to
clash with any teams in the city. A
crack team is organizing at St. Johns,
and Albina will also put a squad on the
gridiron.
LEWIS PROSPECTS GOOD
COACH T. G. COOK -TEACHES
YOUNGSTERS TEAM WORK.
Ira Biackwell, Former O. A. C. Star,
Turns Out In Suit and Shows
His Old Form.
CAMP LEWIS. Tacoma. Wash., Oct.
20. (Special.) Quite a stir was occa
sioned here when a big husky soldier
asked for a football suit here last
night. The athlete was none other
than Ira Biackwell, the famous Oregon
Agricultural College star of a few
years back and more recently of the
University of Montana. Biackwell,
who at present is a member of the
166th Depot Brigade, spun around the
field in bis old-time form, but he was
not kept out very long.
While the prospects for a sensa
tional team are not as bright as they
were last year. Captain T. G. Cook, ath
letic officer, is in hopes of organizing
an eleven that will hold its own with
any of them. Most of the players turn
ing out now are youngsters at the
game, but they are willing workers,
and the main .thing that is getting at
tention at present Is better team work.
Several candidaes are expected to
arrive with the new draft and members
of the athletic office are keeping their
eyes peeled for everything that looks
like good material for a moleskin
artist. Practices are being held every
afternoon between 3:30 and 6 o'clock
and more than three full teams attend
the workouts under the direction ot
Coach Lieutenant Eddie Kienholz.
After several months of research work,"
Captain T. G. Cook, athletic officer for
Camp Lewis, has had published . 88
recreative games selected from Major
Herman J. Koehler's Manual, Captain
T. J. Brown's System and the English
Supplementary Tables. The rules for
playing the games have been distrib
uted throughout the cantonment by the
athletic officer's Staff.
The contests, while primarily ar
ranged for the benefit of conditioning
men in the various training camps,
have become so popular that they are
being used for recreational purposes. All
of them can be used by playground in
structors who have found -that the old
time-worn games for their proteges
have become threadbare from constant
use. Anyone Interested in the work
can secure a list and rules from Cap
tain T. u. cook, athletic officer. Camp

EX-CHAMPiOHS IN WANT
WOLGAST AXD BATTLING NEL
SON' IX POOR SHAPE.
Ad Trying to Regain Health Work
Ins In Woods; "The Battler" Is
IDoivn and Out in Chicago.
CHICAGO, Oct 20. Eight years ago
In Point Richmond, Cal., Battling Nel
son, the "Durable Dane," of the ring,
and Ad Wolgast. a rugged young "wild
cat" from Michigan, fought one of the
bloodiest and most desperate battles for
the lightweight championship ever
staged. After 40 rounds of terrible
fighting. Nelson, the champion, being
all but blinded, was waved to his cor
ner the loser, Wolgast became the new
lightweight champion. The referee had
called a halt when both men were
hammered to a pulp. The "gate" for
the encounter totaled 132,000. and Nel
son received the lion's share.
Today the conqueror, Wolgast, un
able to obtain a penny of the fortune
he earned in the ring, is doing odd jobs
in the timber country of Northern "Wis
consin, where, he is trying to regain
health. His wealth, estimated at $150,
000, is in custody of his wife and his
mother, who are living in Cadillac,
Mich., Wolgast's home.
The Michigan Wildcat, as Wolgast
was known, became the new idol of
ringdom by yirtue of his victory over
Nelson, then regarded as unbeatable.
for two years Wolgast gathered the
riches of a champion, meeting claim
ants in ehort contests for purses reach
ing from $4000 to $12,000. He "cleaned
up" before he faced Willie Richie, .a
San Francisco newcomer, and lost his
title on a foul In 1912, after 16 rounds
of vicious battling.
The vanquished. Nelson, the marveled
"Durable Dane," today is in ft, Chicago
hospital, down and out, flat broke, suf
fering from an illness threatening
pneumonia. He has appealed to friends
for enough money to pay his hospital
expenses. His ring fortune of $250,000
is tied up in real estate in Hegewich,
HI., his home, and every penny of it is
in the custody of his father. Nelson
is regarded as "land poor."
Nelson, whose boast is that he was
always on the level and never misled
his friends, is not asking for charity,
but .wants some of the $250,000 he
loaned in the old days of great pros
perity. Some of the friends Nelson as
sisted are in excellent financial cir
cirrnstances, capable of reimbursing
him.
Willie Ritchie Expected at Camp.
CAMP LEWIS, Tacoma, Wash., Oct
20. (Special.) Word has teen re
ceived here by Captain T. G. Cook,
athletic officer for the 13th Division at
Camp Lewis, that Willie Ritchie, the
cantonment's boxing instructor, would
arrive from the East some time next
week. Ritchie has been taking a spe
cial two weeks' course in bayonet
work at Camp Gordon, Georgia, and,
according to his Tetters to officials
iere, he expects to introduce some new
stunts along with his boxing work
among the soldier boys. He has been
suffering with the "flu," but last re
ports were to the effect that he was
himself once again.
Mrs. Bousfield Wins Plate.
ABERDEEN, Wash., Oct 20. (Spe
cial.) The handsome plate for which
the women of the Grays Harbor Coun
try Club have been contesting every
Wednesday since last January, has
been won for the third time in hand
icap to par play by Mrs. Fayette Bous
field. This is called the Captain's
trophy, as it was presented by Mrs.
J. B. Bridges, woman's golf captain at
the club. It is the custom to award
the trophy to the woman who has won
the play three times, and it then be
comes her personal property.

DAUBERT CONTRACT RELIC
ECHO OP BASEBALL WAR IS
HEARD IX COURT,
Forty-five Thousand Dollars for
Five Seasons' Playing Promised
Dodger Second Baseman.
What' is probably one of the last of
the special baseball wartime contracts,
which star players insisted the mag
nates should sign in order to retain
their services, during the days when
the Federal League was raiding the
major circuits, was spread before the
public recently. When Jake Daubert,
first baseman of the Brooklyn Na
tionals, carried his appeal to the Na
tional Commission for the balance of
his salary due under this interpretation
of his contract, the special articles in
the same were announced as follows:
"The club agrees to pay the player,
for the seasons of 1914, 1915, 1916, 1917
and 1918, beginning on or about the
14th day of April in each of eaid years,
and ending on or about the 14th day of
October, in each of said years, a sal
ary at the rate of $9000 per season." In
addition this contract had eliminated
from It the paragraph known as the
ten days' notice of release clause, and
also had inserted therein the following:
"It is further understood and agreed
that the services of the party of the
second part shall not be released, as
signed, traded or" transferred, without
the consent of the party of the second
part."
It is very doubtful, according to the
baseball magnates, if a contract con
taining similar clauses ' favoring the
player will receive the signature of
club owners for many years to come.
An agreement giving a salary of $45,
000 to an athlete for approximately 30
months' work, with an annotation
which makes it impossible to dispense
with his services without the consent
of the player, is going to be a rarity,
well worth framing in the future, if I
the baseball club owners ar to b be
lieved.
