SPORTING WORLD TO
i RETURN TO NORMAL
Promoters, Magnates, Man
agers Are Making Plans. ,
baseball: men are busy
Men Now in Training Camps Will
Bo Released, and Sport
dom Will Benefit.
BY JAMES J. RICHARDSON.
With yesterday's announcement that
Kaiser Bill had skidded Into oblivion
for all time, thanks to the men and
money of Uncle Sam rushed to the
assistance of the allied countries at
a most critical time, doings in the
realm of sports, amateur and com
mercial, will once again come into
their own and enjoy their former great
prestige, only upon a much larger
scale.
No sooner had the word gone out
that the armistice had been signed than
boxing promoters, baseball magnates,
race-track managers and those con
nected with every branch of sport and
athletics started dusting off the cob
webs which have thickly clothed va
rious branches of commercialized sport
during the past two years.
From now on we will hear the cry
of the baseball magnates tuning up
their machinery to start the great
National pastime next Spring. The an
nouncement that troops now in canton
ments and civilians in various officers'
training schools would be mustered out
within 60 days and that all men in
the November draft would not be called
has acted as a stimulant to those
identified with various branches of
sports and athletics.
With a large number of major and
minor league ballplayers, ice hockey
ists, boxers, swimmers and exponents
of other branches of athletics about
to be turned loose, it is almost a cer
tainty that by next Spring the country
will once again retain its normal pulse
as far as the athletic and sports fra
ternity is concerned.
Only a few days ago some of the
major league magnates said they were
ready to start the ball rolling again
next season. Now that hostilities have
ended and players are about to be re
leased from service in time to report
for Spring practice, there is no reason
why we should not see a resumption
of all major and minor leagues next
year.
The same situation with reference to
baseball is applicable to other branches
of sport. The flower of the country's
boxers are either in the service or con
nected with war camp activities.
They, too. will be ready to launch out
into the fighting game in their former
status.
Boxing is one sport which will flour
ish irpore than ever. No sport in the
world's history has been so thoroughly
exploited as has the manly art of self
defense. The United States Govern
ment, quick to realize the wonderful
benefits accruing from a thorough
knowledge' of the art of fisticuffs, has
expended millions of dollars in having
its soldiers drilled by the world's
greatest boxers. Bayonet fighting,
which has played such a prominent
part in the great allied victory, is
fashioned after boxing.
Where the boxing game was once
classed as brutal and shunned by
young men and noted reformers, it is
now heralded as a major sport. One
of the best-known universities in the
Kast recently adopted boxing as a
major sport, and this action will most
likely be followed by other institu
tions of learning.
.Tnd?e MoCredie, owner of the Port
land baseball franchise, was so busy
celebrating yesterday that it was im
possible to locate the portly magnate
to secure his views on the resumption
of baseball on the Pacific Coast next
season. It is known that McCredie
favors an eight-club Pacific Coast
League and during the period of the
fracas he had with the P. C. L. when
Portland was ousted it appeared to be
a general understanding that after the
war the California magnates would
hook on to Portland and Seattle. Just
what President Baum and his directors
have up their sleeves is not known,
but we all live in the hopes that Port
land will not have to suffer the agony
and torture of Pacific Coast Interna
tional baseball. Far be it from such.
Tee hockey fans who have been clam
oring for their favorite sport may have
their wishes fulfilled, now that the
war is ended and everybody is happy.
Manager Bryan, of the Ice Palace,
wears no medals for taking the initia
tive, but once he gets started he
usually goes through with his plans.
It would not take much coaxing on
the part of Manager Bryan to entice
the crowds to the Ice Palace for a
good game of hockey. .Let's hear
from you. Sir. Bryan.
NEBRASKA WANTS CONTEST
Attractive Game Sought for Turkey
Day in Lincoln.
LINCOLN. Neb.. Nov. 11. The Uni
versity of Nebraska football manage
ment Is angling for an attractive
contest to be played in Lincoln.
Professor R. B. Scott, athletic man
ager, is considering switching the Nebraska-Northwestern
game, scheduled
for November -3. to Turkey Day.
Northwestern was promised a $4000
guarantee for the November 23 tilt,
when the game was contracted for.

duce the Evanston management to cut
that figure nearly in half on account
of the very poor financial opening of
the season here. However, the orig

Scott, if transfer to the holiday can be
arranged.
If Northwestern accepts the Thanks
giving proposal. It is probable an in
vitation will be extended to the soldier
team of Camp Funston to meet Ne

Cornhuskers the following schedule:

taste of big football games next
Saturday afternoon on Multno
mah Field, when the "flu" ban
will get the hook to allow, the
formidable 13th Division grid

career at Mount Angel, where he played
second base for the Mount Angel team.
His work was such as to attract the
McCredies, who sent him to Santa Rosa,
Cal., where Nick Williams was putting
his Portland Colts in shape for the 1914
season. He did not make the grade at
Santa Rosa and returned to his home,
where he continued to play with Mount
Angel.
Last season he played with the Sup-ple-Ballin

Grant Smith-Porter team, where he
played one of the infield positions. He
was well liked among his fellow-players.
Besides his widow he leaves two

CAPT. COOVERT IMPROVES
MARE ISLAND ATHLETIC DIREC
TOR RECOVERING FROM FLU.
Agreement for Football Game With
Multnomah Club Will Be
Signed In Few Days.
The condition of Captain - Lynn
Coovert, United States Marine Corps,
who was taken seriously ill with Span
ish Influenza last week and removed
to Good Samaritan Hospital, was much
improved yesterday and visitors were
permitted to talk with him. Captain
Coovert, who is athletic officer at the
Marine Barracks, Mare Island, was in
the Northwest arranging the north
ern tour of the famous Marine football
team and band for the latter part of
this month, when taken ill.
The initial contest scheduled on the
northern tour will be with the Mult
nomah Club on Multnomah Field, Satur
day, November 23. The agreement for
the Multnomah game has not yet been
signed by Coovert, but he said yester
day he expected to be up and about in
the next few days, when he would most
likely come to an agreement with
George Bertz, manager of the club
eleven.
The supply detachment and football
team of the United States Marines at
Mare Island who wired the sporting
editor; of The Oregonian a total of J105
to purchase floral decorations for the
wife of Captain Coovert, who died of
influenza last week, but which tele
grams arrived after the funeral had
taken place, have again telegraphed
asking that flowers be purchased and
placed on the grave. The money, which
had been returned to Mare Island, will
now be used to keep fresh flowers on
the niche at the Mt. Scott Crematorium.
Such was the suggestion of Captain
Coovert.

CONTRACT SIGNED BY DOYLE
"Babe Smith" of Great Lakes to
Play With St. Louis.
GREAT LAKES, 111.. Nov. 11. Joe
Doyle, the "Babe Ruth" of Great Lakes,
has signed abig league contract. Doyle
is a St. Louis amateur who played
third base for the First Regiment Rab
bits, one of the strongest clubs on the
station. He broke into the limelight by
flogging a home run over the Camp
Dewey drill hall, a smash that might
be compared to a Hft over the left
fence of any major league park.
Not only did Doyle lead the league in
hitting, but some of his slugging rec
ords are remarkable for an amateur.
He gathered a dozen home runs and
nine triples.
He has signed with the St. Louis Car
dinals, the contract calling for his serv
ices after he is mustered out of the
Navy. A special contract for him was
drawn by the National commission and
forwarded to St. Louis.
Doyle is 21 years old, hits and throws

BT BEXXT LEONARD.
World's LJshtwelrht Boxinir Champion
and U. Array Boxing instructor
at Camp L'ptun.
I have taught boxing: to 40,000 sol
diers in training; at Camp Upton, most
of them men who never saw a boxing
glove, let alone pulling one on. They
learned how to Jab with the left, counter
wita the right, step out of a clinch, hit
arid get away and some other tricks of
the Marquis of Queensberry art. Be
lieve me, it didn't take long to get them
acquainted with these tricks. In just
11 months there were 40,000 more boys
who could use their fists as a result
of having taken military training at
Yaphank.
It is generally admitted that the man
who knows a few boxing tricks be
comes A great bayonet fighter. Using
the bayonet then comes naturally to
the fighting man. A lot of my pupils
are giving good accounts of themnelves
in prodding the Hun back to Berlin. I
refer to the 77th Division, the first
Turned out from Camp Upton. Its rec
ord in France speaks for itself.
After I took the championship from
Freddie Welsh I was ent by the Com
mission on Training Camp Activities to
be boxing instructor at Upton. There I
was associated with Captain Frank
Olick, formerly "some" football player.
We formed classes of 250 men each for
calisthenics. In two months the boys
could shadow box in regular style.
The officers saw the benefit of the
work and formed officers' boxing
classes. Calisthenics became rather dull
after a few months of it and we took a
chance by putting some boxing gloves
into circulation. Oh, boy! how those
soldiers hustled to get them on their
hands. They were daffy to show what
they could do. I must have boxed a
hundred rounds a day regularly, but I
liked the hard work.
The next problem was to find a place
in which to hold the boxing shows. The
V. M. C. A., the K. of C. and the Jewish
Welfare Board came to our rescue and
granted us permission to string rings
in their huts, and in this manner regu
lar shows were held in the huts after
noons and evenings. And what action!
Wow! They kept mauling each other
to their hearts' content. Three exhibi
tions a day put them in fine fettle.
Officers Enthusiastic.
Major Thomas, of Major-General J.
Franklin Bell's staff, and Generals
Hays and Thompson became red-hot
boxing enthusiasts. Major Thomas put
on the gloves frequently. Generals
Hays and Thompson said they wished
they had ten Benny Leonards in France
to teach the thousands of soldiers there
how to box, thus fitting them for open
warfare.
In the preliminary work I made the
soldiers dance around, using the left jab
exclusively. The left jab is a duplicate
of the long point with7 the bayonet.
The uppercut is the short point, and the
right and left hooks correspond to the
slashing blows delivered t f rom either
side with the bayonet. Boxing gained
its great popularity because it is the
nearest approach to strafing the Hun
that the hoys can get before they reach
the battlefield.
In the Y. M. C. A. huts, as well as
those of the K. of C. and the Jewish
Welfare Board, boxing lessons are given
in the morning and the big shows are
held in the afternoon and evening.
These organizations, as well as the War
Camp Community Service and the Sal
vation Army, have co-operated with us
and treated us splendidly.

UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Euxenc,
Nov. 11. Special.) After having
beaten Company B, of the S. A. T. C,
in every event of the military meet
here Saturday, Company A has issued
a challenge to the Second Company and
the Navy unit combined for a soccer
game Wednesday afternoon. The Var
sity soccer team is evenly divided be
tween the two companies and a great
game is expected. ,
Company A will have Tt. L. Riley,
who is coach of the Varsity team, to
get their team into shape, while Com
pany B will be under the direction of
Sam Lohman and probably William
Vance, Y. M. C. A. secretary, will help
get B Company men into shape.
Russet Myers, left end on the de
feated Company B football team, who
was injured in the fray Saturday after
noon, was out of the hospital yesterday,
and will be back in shape in a day or
two. The Company A football team
will probably clash with a team that
the naval unit is organizing some time
later in the week. Company B, which
was defeated Saturday, wants another
crack at the winners, and another meet
may be arranged for November 23,
when the varsity football team will be
in California.
MALARKEY TEAM CRIPPLED
SOLDIER SQUAD BEING DRILLED
FOR CAMP LEWIS CONTEST.
Lieutenant Day, Former Multnomah
Club Player, Dons Cnlform
of Vancouver Team.
VANCOUVER BARRACKS. Wash..
Nov. 12. (Special.) With three of his
husky chargers seriously injured and
out of the game for at least two weeks.
Coach "Tick" Malarkey, of the Post
team, is working his soldier players
overtime, whipping them into shape for
the game to be played with the Camp
Lewis team next Sunday.
Steere, tieuple and Davis received In
juries In the game last Saturday
against the Chemawa Indians, which
the hospital surgeons assert will pre
vent any of them entering tthe fray on
Sunday.
To offset, in a measure, the loss Is
the acquisition of Lieutenant "Os" Day.
who was a member of the Multnomah
Club gridiron team last year. Lieu
tenant Day donned a uniform yesterday
and expects to be in trim to take a
position In the line in the Lewis battle.
Realizing that the Lewis team will
be a hard nut to crack, especially with
his team somewhat disorganized. Coach
Malarkey is depending on individual
playing to bring home the bird of vic
tory. Whether it will be win or defeat,
the soldiers are preparing for a battle
royal, and no stones will be left un
turned to have the team In proper
shape.
Twenty-five men will go to Tacoma
next Saturday. In addition to the
players. Captain Robinson, manager of
the Post team. Coach Malarkey and one
of the trainers will travel to the Wash
ington cantonment.
It is probable that Coach Malarkey
will put the boys through a light sig
nal practice Saturday morning, before
the team's departure. Every member
of the Post team received instructions
last night to be prepared for extra
practice during the remaining days of
this week. The Camp Lewis team will
play Multnomah Club in Portland on
Saturday, but this will prove .no asset
to the Sprucers, as the Lewis team has
personnel of more than 40 members to
draw from, whereas high-class pig
skin material has proved to be rather
scanty around this Post.
"We are up against a hard prop
osition. said Coach Malarkey yesterday.
"but the boys are ready to put up the
battle of their lives. With the odds
decidedly against us. we are working
overtime getting Into shape."

Army Training Corps football team,
which Is to be composed of the hest

Joint committee in charge of athletic
affairs at the university came the ap
plication from the Multnomah Amateur
Athletic Club, of Portland, for a (tame
next Saturday. November 16. as It Is
probable the game scheduled with Camp

With Tony Savage. former varstty
star and last year coach at Lincoln
High School, and Cook. Nebraska var
sity man and recently coach at Camp
Perry, Bremerton, co-opratlng with
Henderson in whipping his team into
shape, there is some possibility that the
Multnomah game may be arranged, as
they are very desirous of playing, but
the final decision must await the con
firmation of the cancellation xf the
game with Camp Lewis.
A game with O. A. C. is already set
for November 23 and one with Oregon
November 30. so even in case the game
with Multnomah does not materialize,
the men have a definite objective.

TAX BURDENS
BE
Both Parties in Congress Call
for Cut in Expenses.
McADOO, SIMMONS CONFER
Uncertainly as to Future Govern
raent Needs Causes Hesitation in
Greatly Reducing Revenue.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 11. Peace to
day threw Into the conference, between
Congressional and Treasury ' of flciils
the question of whether the tax burden
planned in the pendipg revenue bill
could be lightened. In view of prospec
tive reduction of expenditures.
Senator Simmons, chairman of the
Senate finance committee; Chairman
Kitchin. of the House ways and means
committee, and Secretary McAdoo dis
cussed the problem, but reached no
conclusion.
Mr. McAdoo said he would undertake
an Immediate survey of the Govern
ment's tentative plans for return - of
the Army from abroad, for curtailing
war orders, and other phases of war-to-peace
conversion, and make recom
mendations within a few days.
The uncertainty of future Govern
ment financial needs and the urgent
need of pushing the revenue legislation
to completion at an early date, con
stitute the principal reasons prompt
ing many Congressional leaders, both
Democrats and Republicans, today to
advocate that the bill be not changed
to reduce the revenue to any great
extent.
Already the Senate has revised it so
that the Income is estimated at about
$.250,000.000. Instead of the 18. 000.000,
000 provided by the House draft. Treas
ury officials also pointed out that a
large Inflow of taxes would reduce the
volume of war bonds which must be
floated In the Spring.
Demand for Immediate steps to cut
down expenditures is coming strongly
from both parties In Congress. Sena
tors Borah and Smoot, Republicans. In
addresses in the Senate today, urged
immediate curtailment of vast Govern
ment expenditures, and said Democratic
Leader Martin would have difficulty
In carrying out his recently announced
economy programme unless the public
Is informed of the details of all ex
penditures. "Senator Martin will find there will
be 1000 reasons advanced for maintain
ing and extending existing bureaus,"
said Senator Borah. 'One thing Con
gress has never been able to do Is to
abolish an office or a department."
Senator Smoot said the time had come
to point out how the saving could be
brought about. He urged immediate
curtailment of Washington war bu
reaus, some of which, he said, have as
many as 10.000 employes.

HANG KAISER, SAYS GERARD
Former Ambassador Demands Ex
tradition and Trial.
NEW YORK. Nov. 11. Extradition
for ex-Kmperor William of Germany
from Holland and his trial in England
on the charge of murder for which he
has been indicted there was urged here
tonight by James W. Gerard. ex-American
Ambassador to Germany, In an Im
promptu address before a theater audi
ence. Asking whether a man shall be al
lowed to escape who had "killed sa
many people that if they were stretched
on the ground they would form a line
almost around the entire world. Mr.
Gerard answered his own question with
an emphatic "I should ay not."
"There is a treaty between Holland
and England." Mr. Gerard declared, "by
which they can extradite the ex-Kaiser,
who has been indicted In England, and
try him before an English court. I
guess we all know what the verdict
would be. When the hangman drops
the trap he will be doing away with one
of the world s greatest murderers.
