Mare Island Team Has Close
Call From Overconfidence.
BANGS MAKES ALL SCORES
Sailors Gain Lead In L-ast Quarter
When Fnmble Gives Touchdown
jLnd Goal Adds One More Point.
VAXJLEJO. Cal., Dec. 25. (Special.)
-The Mare Island Marines' football
team clinched Its title to the "Western
service championship this afternoon
when in a game marked by brilliant
plays it vanquished the eleven from
Balboa naval training camp. 12 to 7.
That old buebear of all athletes
overconfidence came so close to
smearing the Marines today that
Coach Diets was still panting like a
dog that had chased a. coyote over the
hot sands when the final whistle
blew. The Marines did not get the
winning touchdown until about five
minutes before the game ended.
Up to that time Balboa Park was
leading, 7-6. and it seemed as if Bangs
never would get over that last chalk
mark with the winning touchdown.
When he did, of course, everything was
all over, for Balboa Park could, only
score then by a fluke.
Fumble Helps Sailors.
The only score made by Balboa was
the result of a fumbled ball in the
fourth period. Dean, formerly of the
University of Southern Caliofrnia,
picked it up and raced for a touch
down. He was given splendid interfer
ence on that run and when the goal
was kicked Balboa was leading 7-6,
and the Marines were not only fight
ing Balboa, but were also fighting the
clock, for the time was getting short.
The Marines thought so little of the
Balboa Park boys that they figured
they could use their second string men
and win easily. The dope was to let
Bangs and Glover put over a few for
ward passes in the first quarter, put
ting up a safe margin of points, after
which the first string men could retire
tSo the shower baths, while the sec
ond string boys held Balboa safe.
Like many another better team that
has been beaten by over-confidence,
the Marines finally awoke to the fact
that they had to play football to win.
Benton Bangs made both touchdowns
for the Marines and Lodell failed each
time to kick the goal.
Bangs Scores Quickly.
The game opened with the Marines
kicking off to the Sailors, who returned
the ball to the 35-yard line. The Ma
rines regained the ball and carried It
to the five-yard line, where Bangs went
over for a touchdown. At the close of
the first quarter the score stood: Ma
rines 6, Balboa 0.
The second quarter ended with the
ball In the center of the field and the
third ntiarter was notable for clever
open field work of the Sailors, which.-
however, netted tnem no points, ana
this quarter ended with the Marines in
possession of the ball on the 50-yard
line.
In the fourth the Marines had run the
ball down the' field to the 0-yard line,
when, on a fumble. Dean picked it up
and 'ran over the goal. Schwill's suc
cessful kick added another point and
for a time it seemed the Sailors were
on the road to victory.
The Sailors kicked off and the Ma
rines ran the ball back 15 yards. Two
forward passes by the Marines and a
penalty dealt the Sailors on a charge
of slugging brought the ball to the 10
yard line, where Bangs went over and
the final score was: Marines 12, Sail
ors 7.
Marines to Go South.
The Marines planned to leave tonight
for Pasadena, where on New Year's day
they will meet the Great Lakes Naval
Training Camp team in a contest that
will decide the service championship of
the United States.

Bicycling Season to Open In France.
The "Paris L'Auto" announces that
a great Winter bicycling season is In
preparation in France. Should mili
tary matters pan out as expected, next
February will see the famous Bol d'Or
race, a 24-hour event created in 1894
and interrupted since 1914. In March
. plana have been made to run the six-
day race. The paragraph was written
three days before the signing of the
armistice, and there seems no room
for doubt now that circumstances will
permit both events being brought off.

Jack Skelly, one of the best known

"Battling" Ortega, the Oakland middle

"From California I have read many
sensational reports of the daxzling
combating ability of Battling Henry
Ortega, who has fought and won so
many four-round bouts in a most spec
tacular manner.
"If all these glowlngreports be true
about this new, young welterweight
he must be a coming champion. How
ever, we will probably soon have an
opportunity of seeing the new star In
fighting action here In the East against
some of our top-notchers. and will
thereby be able to judge for ourselves
as to his fistio prowess.
"California has Bent us many great
fighters from time to time, but she
has also wished on us many inferior

OLYMPIC CLUB LOSES
TO GAMP LEWIS, 27-0
Ralph Selph Scores Sensation
in His First Touchdown.
BRYANT SHARES IN HONORS
San Franciscans Play Good Game at
Times, but Lack Condition
and Teamwork.
BY SERGEANT EARX. R. GOODWIN.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec 25. (Spe
cial.) "In all my football career I
have never scored a touchdown."
Little did Ray Selph realize that two
hours after he was making this state
ment he was going to offer one of the
big thrills of the 27-to-O victory of the
Camp Lewis All-Stars over the Olym
pic Club eleven, on Ewlng Field, In
the Christmas attraction here today.
The 'big 205-pound center grabbed a
fumble in the third period and. with
the assistance of Schultze as running
mate, he annexed a touchdown after
a 85-yard sprint. It was some ran and
the big former Oregon Aggie cov
ered himself with glory the way ha
straight-armed and maneuvered like a
dreadnought through the mass of ath
letes. Bkadan kicked goal.
Bryant Shares In Honors. f
Jimmy Bryant, the diminutive Camp
Lewis quarter, shared honors with
Schultze and Selph for the sensations
of the afternoon. Time after time
Bryant brought the crowd to Its feet
with his running with the ball.
The first score came with five seconds
left to play in the first period. Huyck
threw a forward pass to Schultze. who
went 52 yards for a touchdown. Black
well kicking goal. In the second canto
the American Lakers rushed the pig
skin to the four-yard marker and
Towell bullied his way through for elx
more points. Black well again making
his educated right toe speak In con
verting the EoaL
Nothing more came until the ' third
stanza, when five plays after the kick
off Blackwell was across the Winged-O
goal line. A forward pass, Huyck to
Schultze. for 38 yards, being largely
responsible for the score. Blackwell
failed to make the goal kick.
Selph Scores First Tone he own.
The Olympics had just made three
successive first down when out of one
of the mix-ups Selph came dashing
with the leather. It did not take the
husky center long to realize that he
had an opportunity of achieving his
one big desire, that of scoring a touch
down. With this as an incentive he
pushed, shoved, tore away from and
sprinted like a 2-year-old for the Olym
pic goal line. Three clubmen tackled
him just as he hit the line and his ankle
went bad on him.
Captain Cook replaced him with Dun
lap and Selph received a big hand as
he limped from the gridiron. Less than
800 saw the fracas, and it was the first
time this year Camp Lewis showed any
real class. The San Franciscans put up
some good ball at times, but lacked
condition and teamwork.
Fiechtinger, the sensational Multno
mah Amateur Athletic Club end. played
part of the game today for Olympic
Club, but he was Injured. Coven,
Schroeder, Incell and Gordon, the
colored lineman, featured for the club
bers, with every man on the Camp
Lewis squad playing great ball.

J. Cal Ewing, president of the Oak

into Rod Murphy's plans to manage the
Portland team next season when he
broke out with the statement in Oak
land' last week that no matter how
much Judge McCredie wanted Murphy,
who captained the Oakland team last
year, he will not be able to land the
player.
"Murphy will be with the Oaks next
year if he is releirved from the Marine
Corps in time to play. There is no
chance of him going to the Portland
club or any other club," was the state
ment given the Oakland press by
Ewing.
Murphy is still at Mare Island, a
sergeant in the Marine Corpe, but ex
pects to obtain his honorable discharge
in a few days.
"When the Mare Island Marines foot
ball team made their recent tour of
the Northwest and played the Van
couver Barracks team in Portland,
Murphy had a conference with Judge
McCredie and the Portland magnate
said at that time he would be glad to
talk business with Murphy, if he could

FRAZEE RAPS BIN JOHNSON
)
OWNER OP RED SOX DENIES
SALE WILL BE MADE.
Sharp Queries Made at American
League Meeting Said to Have
Caused Enmity of Chieftain.
While Harry Fnaree, owner of the
champion Boston Red Sox, was speed
ing eastward from Chicago to New
York after the annual American League
meeting in Chicago, Ban Johnson broke
In to print with a short notice announc
ing the coming sale of the Boston club.
He Inferred, according to the outburst,
that FTazee had Incurred the enmity
of the league chieftain, and that any
one who opposed Ban must go. In his
proclamation Johnson stated that the
Boston club had been found guilty of
not stopping sraJnbltTig and that this in
itself waa.euf t telent to cost Frasee his
fnanchise.
When Frazee reached New Tork he
felt none too elated when he read of
Ban's offering to the scribes. Harry
broke out In the New York preaa and
Calked for two columns in one paper.
Listen to part of Frazeo's reply:
"I am one of the eight men who em
ploy Johnson, and this statement by an
employe would be absolutely ridicu
lous were it not for the harm Johnson
does to the league and baseball. John
son gave out this statement after he
knew I left Chica o. While I was there
he was tame enough.
"During the American League meet
ing Comlskey and I told Johnson some
sharp truths, but he never attempted to
reply. He answered such questions as
we put to him, but other than that he
had nothing to say. We were specially
anxious to catch him on several items
that formerly appeared In the financial
reports, but even these had been
changed.
"I will sell anything I own at a cer
tain price. The price that I have placed
on the Red Sox Is far more than I would
pay for the property. I asked the
Boston syndicate, headed by ex-Governor
Dave WaXsh, of Massachusetts,
to band me a check for $100,000 last
Thursday at 3 o'clock and I would give
them a month to pay the rest. They
did not come across.
"As to that ao-called Cleveland offer,
it was with moving picture money.
Johnson was on the wrong track from
the start because he did not know I
owned 65 per cent of thj stock. He
asked my partner, "Sport Herrmann,
who has 15 per cent of the stock, if I
would sell. Herrmann replied, 'If he
gets his price.'
"'Herrmann then named the terms I
made the Boston people, and when John
son heard them he nearly swooned."

A continuous world series on a
smaller stage than that of the major
leagues will be waged in the American
Association next season. Details of the
players bonus plan, recently given out,
show that the athletes have really
something worth while to strive for.
One cenf will be held out from every
paid admission. In normal years the
aggregate attendance In the American
Association has been around the 1.400.
000 mark and It has' gone as high as
1.800.000. Since the war started in 1914
the average attendance has been lowei
than 1,400,000. but with the return of
peace and the continuous scrappy play
ing that the bonuses are certain to pro
duce, the club owners are looking for
an aggregate attendance of 1.500,000 in
1919. which would yield a prize of
$15,000 to be distributed among the
athletes.
