MARINES FORCED TO
MEET BALBOA PARK
Pasadena Football Committee
Insists on Game.
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.
After several matches In San Fran
cisco, he left for Kansas City and was
matched to meet Paddy Ryan, of
Denver, In a 15-round contest there
on Thanksgiving day, but had to call
the bout off when he was stricken
with Spanish influenza.
In a letter received yesterday from
Cotton, he states he is once again in
good shape and is training daily at
Kid Howard's famous gymnasium in
Chicago. 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.

SILK OLOUGHLIV IS DEAD.
BOSTON, Dec. 20. 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

other exclamations, accompanied
by gestures to indicate a player,
as safe or out at base, were pecu

in Rochester, N. Y., 4 8 years ago.
In 1902 he was appointed by Ban
Johnson as an American League

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

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

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.

ball in the East. Middle West and
Southern sections of the United States
would be played on a much broader
scale during the coming season than
ever before and activities of the Na
tional Baseball Federation, the sand
lot governing body of the country, will
be extended to additional cities in
1919.
These facts developed here today
when members of the semi-professional
division of the National Federation
met and discussed plans for the next
season.
C. C. Townes, of Cleveland: Tom
Nokes, of Johnstown, Pa., and Ralph
Davis and W. S. Hadsock. of Pittsburg,
attended today's sessions.
It was announced that the annual
meeting of the federation will be held
in Cleveland, January 18, when offi
cers will be elected, including a new
board of directors, and the official
1919 programme will be adopted. Mr.
Nokes was today commissioned to visit
Eastern and Middle Western cities and
endeavor to establish sand lot otsm--zations.
He will stop in Buffalo, Min
neapolis, St. Paul. Indianapolis and
other localities and in the event these
cities come into the federation, those
attending today's meeting expressed the
opinion that sand lot ball will then
have as large a circuit as it cares to
handle. At present Chicago, Cincin
nati, Cleveland, Detroit, Canton, Louis

The outlook for semi-professional
baseball during 1919 is very promising,

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.

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.

and lost firstkto one boy and then to
another. He disappeared and fin

He got In shape again and became a
pretty good card throughout the New

Coast again and fought all through the
Middle West and South before he got
back to. Seattle- He met Billy Miske,
K. O. Brown. Jack Dillon, Gus Christie
and many other topnotch boxers In his
travels and although he never created
any furore by beating any of them,
he always stood up and met them com

He is .a baker by trade and as one
New York sporting scribe once wrote.
"He kneaded the dough at night and
needed the dough In the daytime." He
fought here several times last year,
but did not make any encouraging
showings.
Hagen has not fought any since he
has been In France but cleaned up

Now that the football season is
