TIIE 3IORXIXG OltEGOXIAX, WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 13, 1918. TO sports leaders of the Northwest began laying plans ror what they think will be a great revival of sports and ath letics in this country. A few short weeks ago anyone men tioning the possibility of baseball operating in the Northwest next Spring would have been given the big laugh. Not so now. however. League baseball will operate again next season, according to Robert Blew ett, president of the Pacific Coast International League. The leagus prexy, who has been doing his bit building ships and letting his business take care of itself while Uncle Sam needed tonnage, declares that the un expected ending of the hostilities makes it appear certain that the league will operate next . Spring. He hinted that some drastic changes, however, would be made during the Winter. He AGGIES SEE VICTORY OVER OREGON ELEVEN BE STAGED DEC. 6 Miller and McCarthy May Meet ' in Main Event. Peppery Young Warriors Are Ready for Season's Classic. GOOD CARDS' PROBABLE FANS ANXIOUS FOR BATTLE 10 BOXING SMOKER BIca Who Fought July 4 at Van couver Available for Benefit. BY JAMES J. RICHARDSON. The initial boxing smoker under the auspices of the Portland Boxing Com mission will be staged Friday night. December 6, according to the present plans of Tommy Tracey, official match maker. Portland fans have only enjoyed a fow bouts this Winter, due to the in dluenza ban and a desire on the part of the Commissioners to put the fight game on a more businesslike basis, dur ing which interim they failed to issue permits to private promoters. Now that the war is at an end and as conditions gradually become normal, there is no question but what Portland fight fans are in for a rare treat. Tommy Tracey has a number of stellar bouts lined up which he has been keep ing on ice until such time as the "flu" ban was given the exit. With the State Board of Health ready to dyna mite the lid placed on the city, forbid ding public gatherings or amusements of any kind, and a promise that said exploding will take place next Satur day, Tracey put in a real busy day yesterday formulating plans for his opening card. Miller Wild Match. Joe Miller, the youngster whom San Franciscans hail as a comer, is anxious to clash with Johnny McCarthy in the main event. Miller, in a recent letter, said he was in the best condition of his career and wanted a chance at Mc Carthy. Yesterday Tracey mailed a letter to Miller offering him the best possible terms for a bout with McCar thy at the next smoker. There is no ouestion but what Miller will find Tra cey'3 terms to his liking and immedi ately wire his acceptance. A short time ago Tracey received word from Sol Levinson. manager of McCarthy, agreeing to come north pro vided suitable training expenses are offered. Tracey immediately sent his best terms south, but to date has not heard from Levinson. McCarthy has a scrap scheduled for Tacoma the last week In November, and the Portland smoker. December 9. would be right in line with his trip north. With Miller and McCarthy both anx ious to get together, and Tracey's terms of "huge" proportions, there is every indication that these two hard hitting exponents of the fistic game will be seen swapping punches in the main bout at the first smoker. Another Boat Planned. Another bout Tracey is trying to land is a clash between Weldon Wing and Joe Gorman. These two feather weights carry a grudge against- each other. Wing was given a decision over Gorman at Vancouver Barracks. July 4. With the verdict went Gorman's title of Northwest featherweight cham- pion. Wing went south into California and under the title of Northwest featherweight champ he secured many fights and won a greater portion of them, defeating some of the best feath erweights in the Bear state. He has returned to the scene of his childhood, having first saw the light of day in Albina, and is willing to take on Gor man. Gorman is anxious to clash with Wing and stipulates that the battle be fpr the title and also that their sashay be billed as a main event, or is willing to have the bout classed as a double main event. Tracey will agree to any thing Gorman wants in the line of publicity, so the match is about cinched. Bronson Wants Chance. Muff Bronson is anxious to redeem himself. Since Muff was roughly han dled by Johnny McCarthy at the last Portland smoker, the Lithuanian has been clamoring for a chance to re establish himself in the eyes of Port land fight, fans. He has been prom ised a fight with George Ingle at Aberdeen Within the next few weeks. A number of other high-class bouts are being sought by Tracey for the initial show, which will probably be held at the Ice Palace. Any boxer wanting to display his prowess is re quested to get in touch with Tracey at the Corbett building cigar stand. MURPHY ON NAVAL TEAM FORMER PORTLAND ATHLETE WITH TJ. OF W. Reports From Training Station Say Oregon Man ' Is Playing Wonderful Game. Johnny Murphy, well-known former Columbia University athlete, is captain and left end of the Naval Training School eleven at the University of Washington and is playing a great game, according to word received here. Murphy played with the Columbia Uni versity team for several years and was on the mythical All-Star team for two seasons. Murphy also played with the Columbia Park team of several years ago, which cleaned up everything -in the state. Johnny not only starred at football, but is one of the best-known track men and baseball players in the city. He caught for Columbia Uni versity while he. was at that school and last season worked behind the bat in the Columbia-Willamette Shipbuild ers' League. As a track man Murphy was good enough to set the state record for the high jump in interscholastic circles. which still stands. He made the record three years ago on Multnomah field and it has hot been approached since that time at any track meet in Ore gon. He also did well in the broad jump and other field events. Murphy enlisted in the Navy some time ago and has been stationed at the University of Washington since his nlistment. The Jackies have a great team and are being coached by Elmer Henderson, the Seattle football mentor, who is one of the best-posted men in the griridon game in the West. "Tex" Williford. former Jefferson High School football, track and base ball star, is also playing on the Navy eleven at the University of Washing ton and at preseat is holding ,down right half, the position he played at Jefferson.

The announced hoisting of the cen sorship ban on dispatches from the western front means nothing In the young life of W. H. Hargiss. football coach of the ' Oregon Aggies. who la fast whipping his eleven into shape for their state gridiron championship game with the University of Oregon at Cor vallis next Saturday. The peppery grid iron mentor is working his youngsters hard, according to information which managed to ooze past Corvallis censors who are anxious that none of the in nermost workings or plays be passed on to the camp of the enemy at Eu gene. Last Saturday, after the game at Corvallis, where the Aggies stepped on the Standier shipyard eleven, score 14 to 0, Hargiss read the riot act to his squad and told them that they must get down to brass tacks and put their heart and soul into the game, because "Shy" Huntington's athletes are pepped up and confident of their ability to take a fall out of the Aggies. A((ln Out for Practice. Last Sunday, 'tis said, Hargiss led his gridiron heroes out into the hills near Mary's Peak for a long hike. Monday afternoon saw the boys out for signal drill, punting, piace-klcking and forward-passing. Hargiss did not care to send them into scrimmage so soon after their clash with the shipbuilders. Yesterday, a long-distance message said, the Aggies went through two hours of blocking, breaking through the line, tackling, interference and for ward passing. The news that the big game in Europe has been called off has given the squad added pep. The play ers reported for practice early yester day and were hard at It when Coach Hargiss called, a halt. Machine Much Improved. The Aggies are said to be a much Improved machine. Those who managed to evade the eagle eye of gatekeepers at Corvallis say the Aggies are putting a world of ginger into the work and reel off their plays in machine-like pre cision. So much has been said about the Aggies' win over Oregon last year, when for the first time in almost 10 years the Corvallis institution put across a victory, that the 1918 Aggie eleven are anxious to cement the im pression, now that the Aggies have broken their losing streak against the State University, that an Aggie victory over Oregon is going to be an annual event. Kootball fans who Journey down to Corvallis next Saturday are going to see a hard-fought battle. The Oregon eleven is composed of a bunch of young sters who think themselves almost in vincible when talking of other North west elevens. Coach Huntington is having a hard time ridding the squad of its cockiness, caused by the lop sided scores the Oregon eleven has been piling up against its opponents. Coaches Remain Silent. Neither coach will venture an opin ion on the outcome of next Saturday's game. Coach Hargiss limits his state ments to saying the Aggies will give Oregon a hard tussle, and that the Bugene athletes will know they have been in a struggle when the game is over. The probable Aggie lineup against Oregon next Saturday and weights of players follow: Lippman. right guard, 200; Stewart, center, 165; Knapp, left guard, 181: Ash, left tackle, 195: Van Hoesen, left end. 170: Badley, quarter, 160; Archibald, captain and right half, 175: Hedler. left half. 170, and Powell, fullback, 190. Oregon's lineup will be almost the same as it was against the Depot Brigade eleven at Camp Lewis last Saturday. Until the announcement the war had ended Coach Huntington thought he might lose the services of Francis Jacobberger. quarterback, and Trowbridge, tackle. They were in formed to be in readiness to depart for the Aviation Ground School at Ber keley. These orders have now been canceled. - .XT . , X 4-v .....

Football-starved Portland fans will get their first morsel of the big-time gridiron game on Multnomah Field Saturday afternoon, when the Mult nomah Amateur Athletic Club eleven will face the crack team of the 13th Division, representing Camp Lewis. The Army team has been banging along in great style this season and so far the speedy Army aggregation has been in vincible and already holds a four period decision over the Winged M team, having defeated the latter by the score of 7 to 0. earlier in the sea son. The club gridders have taken on a good deal of class since the offer of their game against Camp Lewis, and neither team is a favorite in Satur day's game. Camp Lewis scored on Multnomah by a 41-yard pass and run for a touchdown in the last few sec onds of the second quarter of the game. The Multnomah Ciub warriors made yardage nearly three times as great as did Camp Lewis and but for the fatal pass in the second quarter would have played a scoreless tie with the soldiers. Oeorge "Ad" Dewey, former O. A. C. and Multnomah Club football star, who coached the Foundation team and who is at present coaching Lincoln High, will assist George Philbrook In put ting the Multnomah Club team through the paces from now on. Dewey has had wide experience in coaching and should be a great help to the squad. Tom Loutitt. captain of the team, is giving the line a good dual of per sonal attention and has it working In great shape. Philbrook is on a busi ness trip at present and Dewey will oversee the work until his return when he will continue as Philbrook's assist ant. It has been decided by Manager Bertx and officials of Multnomah Club to charge an admission price of $1.10 and for grandstand reserved seats and 55 cents for the bleacher seats. Both in clude war tax. The seat sale will open Thursday and tickets will be obtainable at Si Rich's cigar store and A. G. Spaulding Bros.

Meeting of Professionals In Peoria Indicates Coming Activity on Diamond. When the report of the National As sociation of Professional Baseball Clubs, now In session at Peoria. 111., was read to Judge McCredie yesterday, the Portland magnate remarked that it looked like the moguls meant busi ness next season. The Judge has al ways been for what the other direc tors wanted. This was his chief asset in the Pacific Coast League. If Presi dent Al liaum. of the Pacific Coast cir cuit, suggested launching ships on dry land, McCredie would have voted for It. Yesterday's report of the big base ball meeting seemed to add enthusiasm to the already overflowing rays of Joy which featured the Portland magnate's countenance. "Yes. that looks as if we will have baseball next year." said McCredie. "and as soon as peace is signed and conditions gradually become normal, baseball ought to have a fairly good season in 11(19. but I look for 1320 to be the banner year. I am somewhat afraid of conditions and uncertain times. Everything will depend on the prosperity of the people. Some think there will be a period of stagnation after the war. If so, baseball will suf fer. Stagnation does not mix with baseball or any other sport. People, to attend baseball, must be feeling pros perous and in a happy mood. "Portland has been In the throes of a depression, as far as baseball Is con cerned, since 1914. It started to slip four years ago, and each year gradu ally became worse. With the people happy and times prosperous. I look for it to take a slant in the opposlto di rection. "I do not know just what Portland may expect in the baseball line next year. If. the fans want baseball we will have It. The Pacific Coast Inter national has a claim on this territory. If we received an offer to Join the Pa cific Coast League, we would have to get "permission to vacate In the Pacific Coast International. That Is a condi tion I don't care to express any views on at this time. You might say. how ever, that I always did and always wilt favor an eight-club Pacific Coast league. Transportation, of course, will be the deciding factor in our entry In the class AA circuit.

Sound Fight Fans Want More Widely-Known Opponent for King In Main Event. All Is not well with the proposed benefit boxing show for Seattle some time either this or next week. Dan Salt, who Is arranging the matches, signed up a boy by the name of Harry Gllum to met Mick King in the main event, but one of the Sound city sport scribes has hit the pan and Insists that a Gilum-King bout Is not a contest to head a monster benefit. The Seattle fans were In hopes that Salt would be able to line up some good California boy against King, but he was unable to land a worthy op ponent from the Bear state for Mick. Gilum hails originally from Idaho and has a fairly good reputation, but the fans up north do not seem to take to him In the case of the benefit. Kveryone in Seattle wants to make the show the biggest and best ever staged in that city, and are afraid that Gilum might not prove the right op ponent for King. , The rest of the tentative card Is a good one. Johnny Wolgast. the broth er of Ad Woljrast. who is in the Navy, will meet Chet Neff. who has fought In Portland a number of times. Danny Weston, a new arrival in Seattle from California, will met Frankie Murphy. Frankie Tucker. Harry Anderson. Leo Houck. Mike Pete and George Thomp son, all well known here, will box on the bill.
