Another thing, the James John team that battled Jefferson on Monday was also a different team from that which played Lincoln. It fought harder, played better ball and lost out only by a hard break of luck, so one can gain no In formation on how today's game will come out by the scores that Lincoln and Jefferson registered over them.

Collins suggests either January 12 or la for the date of the battle, and he proposes to stage It In the rebuilt Minneapolis Armory, which has the seating: capacity of at least tOOO. Both Dempsey aad Gibbons seem willing to meet, only Mike thinks the date a little too early. When told this.

Gordon will leave for Seattle tomorrow accompanied by bis manager. Abe Matin. Sammy fought Murphy a four-round draw In Seattle about six months ago and Is confident that he can trim the clever little Seattle mixer. Johnny McCarthy and Harry Ander son, who fought four rounds to a draw Seattle recently, will most likely settle their differences over a six- round route In the'main event of the ext boxing- smoker to be held at the Heilig Theater, Wednesday night, Jan- ary 8. Commissioner Honeyman sent letters, containing the commission's most liberal terms, to both boxers yesterday nd an early acceptance Is expected. McCarthy s clash with Anderson over he four-round route was not satis factory to the San Franciscan, as Ander son waa the only battler McCarthy met the Northwest who managed to weather the storm until the fin round, all of Johnny's other opponents taking the count before the limit. The boxing bouts held at the Heilig Theater Thursday night were the most uccessful ever staged from a financial andpolnt. the total receipts netting 3212. There were 26;1 fans present. Darcy and Farmer walked off with two huge "medals' adorning their "chests" said to be valued at 562.2j each, which was not bad for 18 minutes work. The Oregon boys' emergency fund which receives the net profits of all smokers held in Portland, will be en hanced by a goodly sum. That Port land fight fans are hungry for the fistic game was 'well demonstrated at Thursday night's bouts. What is needed in the future is new faces In the ring. The next smoker will contain numerous outside boxers paired with the best In the local field.

CENTER, Dec. 13. (Special.) An automobile baseball league, with clubs in Denver. Colorado Springs. Pueblo, Greeley and Cheyenne ia likely to be the outcome of the State League ven ture which provided Colorado with baseball during the last season. The Colorado State League a four club circuit was the only minor league organization in the United Statea to weather the period of depression re sulting from the war, and the fact that it was able to play out Its season has encouraged baseball fans all over the state to look, forward to a bigger and stronger league In 1919.

A game in Portland for the championship of the state today was offered to the Eugene High School football team by Lincoln High School, provided Lincoln defeats Jefferson ,for the Portland ln- terscholastic title ln their battle to morrow. Tne aate set ior tne proposed game is December 21. . , BT JAMES J. RICHARDSON. When the Pacific Coast League di rectors greased the skids for Portland's slide out of the circuit in 1917 it was Johnny Powers, Los Angeles magnate. who played a prominent part in throw ing the big harpoon into the McCredles. After putting the thumbscrews on the Portland magnates and substituting Sacramento for Portland, the class AA magnates found out that the switch was not all its supporters prophesied and now comes this same Johnny Pow ers playing the role of the Good Sama ritan and publicly announcing that he favors Pacific Coast League expanding to an eight ciub circuit to take in Portland. and Seattle. So, Friday, the 13th. may not be such an unlucky day for Portland baseball fans after all. Powers argues that there is no need of the Coast League magnates going nto executive session this month. On the other hand. Powers firmly believes the executive conference should be post poned as long as porslble In order that he directors may learn the prospects for lower transportation rates, which t this time appears to be the only ob- tacle in the way of an eight club Pa cific Coast League. ' if conditions should continue as at present. Power says the league will undoubtedly be pruned down to four clubs and the teams will travel from one city to another by motor bus. that being the cheapest form of transporta tion. It is possible that the league may start that way and then expand to eight clubs in mid-season should con ditions warrant the-change. Mr. Powers advances the argument that by taking In Portland and Seattle and branching out into an eight club circuit it would give the fans more new faces and would do a great deal towards livening up the Interest which has lagged considerably during the past two or three years. It is said unauthoritative that the major league magnates are negotiat ing with the United States Railroad Ad ministration for a teduction in trans portation rates and that the abbrevi ated meeting of the National Associa tion of Professional Baseball Leagues will again convene when the desired information is at hand. It Is Johnny Powers' desire that the Coast League magnates not meet in ex ecutive session until such time as some authoritative information regarding rail rates is forthcoming. If Secretary McAdoo can see his way clear to per mit baseball teams to travel on a one-and-a-third rate, it would help consid erably towards guaranteeing the suc cess of baseball next season, espe cially an eight club Pacific Coast League, a Kenneth Williams, former Portland outfielder, who sojourned with the St. Louis Americans last season until drafted into the Army, was a Portland visitor yesterday, having received his discharge from the service and is on his way to his home in Grants Pass. Williams looked to be in the "pink" and is ready to start the 1919 season, pro vided his contract with the Browns proves satisfactory. e a The Sacramento baseball club will not hold a meeting until after the Pacific Coast League holds its session and the directors see how baseball condi tions corns) out In the East.

I WHAT IT MEANS IN AMERICA, ; ENGLAND AND FRANCE There is a very interesting article in this week's LITERARY DIGEST December 14tK -bearing upon the most vital topic likely to be discussed at the great peace conference the Freedom of the Seas. While Lieutenant-Colonel Repington, the famous British Military Expert, remarks that "I have not the slightest idea what freedom of the seas means, nor have I met anyone who can tell me," London and French newspapers have quite definite ideas as to its meaning. Much of the comment in the London and Paris papers emphasizes the fact that Presi dent Wilson has not yet defined what he means by freedom of the seas, but most of the French journals agree with the Paris Matin when it says "if this doctrine means any diminution of the power of the British navy, France will reject it."
