HARDSHIP IS IMPOSED Title Contenders Are In Need of Rest Preparatory to Game With Great Lakes Squad. BY JAMES J. RICHARDSON. Football conditions In California, es pecially the southern section of the Bear State, are in a badly muddled state of affairs and all on account of an apparent desire on the part of the Tournament of Roses football commit tee of Pasadena to place every obstacle it can in the way of the Mare Island Marines getting into first-class physi cal condition for their tentative tussle with the Great Lakes Naval Training Station team of Chicago, which will be the feature event of the Tournament of RoBes celebration at Pasadena, New Year's day. That the Marines, who have proved themselves to be far superior to any gridiron aggregation on the Pacific Coast, are getting a raw deal from Chair man Kelnholz and his fellow associates on the Tournament of Roses football committee, is very apparent from the committee's actions to date. The committee insists, in the face of the overwhelmingly large scores the Marine team has piled up against its opponents 457 to 20 in their nine con tests against the most formidable elev ens on the Pacific Coast, that they play the Balboa Park Naval training station team of San Diego, at San Francisco to day, and the winner to meet the Great Lakes team of Chicago. New Year's day. Balboa Park has played a few games around San Diego and Los Angeles and is In perfect physical condition, while the Marines are badly crippled and in need of a rest. Balboa's chief claim to recognition lies in the fact that they defeated the Rockwell Field aviators, ( to 3, whereas the Submarine Base team and Rockwell Field played a 3 to g tie. Marines In Poor Condition. Due to a heavy schedule, which was Inefficiently arranged by the several people who undertook to handle the Marines' athletic affairs. Bill Dietz's crew are far below their regular form, and instead of having to take the San Diego sailors on today in order to suit the whims and whams of the Pasadena football committee, with a very good chance of their "players adding to their already numerous injuries, they should be resting up for the New Year's day clash. The Great Lakes team will arrive in Paeadena next Tuesday, which gives them seven days to work out before the big game. "While the Easterners are resting, the Marines are scheduled to be playing or traveling. The de fenders of the "Western gridiron honors are therefore going into the big battle with a chance that they will be whipped before they step on the field, because of the unfair conditions imposed on them by the Pasadena committee. Football experts who have closely watched the performance of the 1918 Marine eleven say it is a much more formidable team than that which rep resented Mare Island in 1917. Last year the Marine team cleaned up all its opponents and did not play a game after November 23 until New Year's day at Pasadena. They were given plenty of time to break training and give their injuries a chance to heal and then start practice for the big game with plenty of pep and ambition. Just why the Pasadena football com mittee sees fit to' keep the Mare Is landers busy right up until the last minute. thereby jeopardizing their chances of victory against Great Lakes, can best be explained by the committee itself. "West Not Fairly Treated. The Marines are a wonderful ag gregation, but they are helped In being whipped by bad management, and it is not a square deal for the West. If the Marines schedule had been properly ar ranged and the Pasadena football com mittee had not imposed unjust condi tions on them at this late date, they would stand a good chance of winning from the Great Lakes team, no matter how good Paddy Driscoll, Jim Gonzelman, Bachman and the rest of the "gobs" are. Eastern players and their style of football have nothing on the Pacific Coast gridders. In 1916, at Pasadena, Washington Btate College defeated Brown Uni versity, 14 to 0. The University of Pennsylvania was the next Eastern aggregation to try and put the skids under Western football champions, but were humbled by the University of Oregon. 14 to 0. The Marines do not have to resort to alibis in their com ing struggle. They possess the cream of Western football talent. All they ask and all they should be given Is a square deal. The Camp Lewis team is in San Francisco today, scheduled to play the Mare Island Sailors. With two games scheduled in the Bay City, there is apt to be trouble. Major Riner, of the Mare Island Marines, is authority for the statement that the Marines will not participate in a counter attraction to the Camp Lewis-Mare Island Sailor game at San Francisco today, and if Balboa Park wants to play the Marines they will have to go to Mare Island and play, even if he has to forfeit the game against Great Lakes on New Year's day. It will be Interesting to watch today's develop ments at San Francisco. HAY WARD TRAINING MARIXES "University Man Arrives at Mare Island to Start Work. SAN FRANCISCO, Dec 20. (Special.) -Bill Hayward, the veteran trainer of the University of Oregon, went on the Job as trainer of the Marines' football club at Mare Island today. As a num ber of the boys are riding Charley horses and have sore muscles Bill will have plenty of work to limber them up. Before he left Eugene Bill said he had an offer to train the Great Lakes players, and that he had ac cepted that, too. Maybe Bill will look after the Great Lakes boys after he arrives in Pasa dena with the Marines, because even Bill would have a pretty tough time training one bunch at Mare Island and the other at Pasadena at the same time. Bill is a first-class trainer and he is a big help to a football sauad before an important game because of his long experience and his knowledge or now to put an athlete on edge. KID COTTON TO MEET DUNDEE New York Bantam Signed tor Fight In Wisconsin.. Kid Cotton, the New York bantam weight, who was in Portland several months ago in search of matches, is now in Chicago. From Portland Cot Ion went to San Francisco, -where he took on several of the Golden Gate City battlers at his weight.

His next bout will be at La Salle, Wis., against Mike Dundee, the well-known Eastern fighter. Dundee is making 124 pounds ringside for Cotton. The Kid is confident he can trim Dundee and will be In line for some good matches If he gets by Mike. PORTLAND 3IEN IN NAVY GAME JIare Island Sailors "Will Meet Camp Lewis Today.

Francis "Silk" O'Loughlln, famous as an American League umpire, died at his apartment here today after a short illness of influenza and pneumonia. O'Loughlln had umpired for the American League since its or ganization and he long had been rated as one of the picturesque figures In the baseball world. His "ball tuh," his long-drawn-out "s-t-r-l-k-e" and snappy "foulder-er" are known the coun try over. These and a series of other exclamations, accompanied by gestures to indicate a player, as safe or out at base, were pecu liar to O'Loughlln. He was born in Rochester, N. Y., 4 8 years ago. In 1902 he was appointed by Ban Johnson as an American League umpire. fornia field tomorrow afternoon.

The Camp Lewis team is stacking up its title of 1918 service champions against the Navy, but the boys from the cantonment are confident that they will come out victorious. On Christmas day the American Lak ers will battle the Olympic Club of San Francisco, on Ewing Field, after which they will proceed home. There was some talk of playing the Rockwell Field Athletics, of San Diego, but nego tiations have ceased. The sailors have been defeated but once this year and they are going out to beat Camp Lewis by a larger score than did Dletz and his Marines. According to the "Gobs," the Devil Dogs won't schedule a game with them. SMD LOT BULL TO EXPAND XATTOXAIi federatios makes PLANS FOB 1919 SEASOX.

MCARTHi OPPONENT H BEING SOUGHT Boxing Commission Secretary to Scour California. DARCY MAY HEAD CARD Jack Hall, of San Francisco, Is Sug gested as a Match for Roumanian. Walter B. Honeyman. secretary of the Portland Boxing Commission, left last night for San Francisco on a 30 day business trip, and while in the South expects to be able to select an opponent for Johnny McCarthy for the next smoker to be held at the Heillg Theater Wednesday night, January 8. The Boxing Commission has thor oughly scrutinized available talent in the Northwest, and has decided that If an opponent capable of giving Mc Carthy a battle is to be found, it must be within the confines of California. With this object uppermost in his "conning tower," Honeyman will have a conference with Sol Levinson. Mc Carthy's manager, at San Francisco. Monday, and after looking the avail able mitt-wielders over with a view of selecting one to meet McCarthy, may decide to send one of the California battlers north. If Honeyman is un successful in his plans to place Mc Carthy on the top of the next card with a worthy opponent, the task of ar ranging the entire programme will fall to George Henry, the diminutive mem ber of the commission, who will per form the duties of secretary in Honey man's absence and work with Match maker Tracey. Jack Fahle is anxious to send Darcy back Into the ring at the next smoker, provided a suitable opponent can be found. Darcy is the biggest local fistic attraction, and it is said that Jack Hall, a San Francisco middleweight, may be paired with the Roumanian. Fahle is considering taking his two proteges, Jimmy Darcy and Alex Tram bltas, to California if suitable oppo nents cannot be found for them In these parts. Darcy Is in big demand in the Bay City, and the allied promoters have plenty of talent for the Rouma nian to hook up with. Regarding the report that the boxing commission in the future would not offer boxers a percentage of the gate receipts, which rumor Commissioners Honeyman and Henry and Matchmaker Tracey knew nothing about. Fahie said: "I want to see both of my boxers ap pear in Portland rings, provided the terms are satisfactory. When I think they are not, I am not going to argue about it. but will take the boys to Cali fornia and see what I can do there. I have received several offers from San Fr&ncisco and Oakland, where the bouts are of four rounds' duration. I think Portland fans are satisfied with Darcys fighting. He gives them a run for their money and never stalls." Mike Gibbons' first bout since leav ing the service of Uncle Sam will be against "Soldier" Bartfleld in Minne apolis. January 14. They are to travel 10 rounds to a no-decision contest at 158 pounds at 3 o'clock. Mike Collins, manager of Fred Ful ton, although the latter seems anxious to "tie the can" to him, is trying to land a Jack Dempsey-Mike Gibbons fight for his Minneapolis club for some time in January. He has come forth with an offer of $15,000 for the match. Bobby Evans' right hand shows a few callouses from having "duked" the home folks since his return from Camp Lee. Evans has a few cards up his sleeve which he intends to spring within the next fortnight in the line of a pugilistic attraction of class.

BUTTE, Mont., Dec 20. Resolutions asking Congress to declare in favor of independence for Ireland were adopted at a mass meeting attended principally by residents of Irish descent here to At The leading article in THE LITERARY DIGEST this week, presents an enlightening summary of the demands that Britain may make at the peace conference as revealed in the editorial pages of the great English newspapers; also the most significant editorial comment in this country regarding them. While German sympathizers and propagandists, we are told by Judson C. Welliver, in the New York Globe, are blowing assiduously upon every spark of anti-British feeling that is still alive in this country and are magnifying every suggestion of divergence between President Wilson and the British government, we find the American press discussing in an entirely dispassionate vein the outspoken words of Winston Churchill and Lloyd George concerning Britain's naval policy and other questions that will surely come up for discus sion at the peace conference.
