All 10 mitt artists scheduled to par ticipate in tonight's fistic entertain ment at the Heilig theater are reported to be in tiptop shape and ready to do battle every second they are on their feet. Dr. Samuel Gellert. member of the boxing commission, gave the local ewat artists their physical examina tions yesterday and placed his approval on their condition. Each of the five six-round bouts on tap tonight is almost a main event in itself. That Portland and out-of-town boxing fans think highly of tonight's boxing programme is evident from the statement of Billy Pangle, manager of the lieilig theater, who said last night that the advance sale of seats is by far the largest of any previous fistic event staged at his showhouse. Klynn Training steadily. Jim Flynn, who clashes with Jimmy Darcy in the main squabble, did not let up in his training yesterday. Flynn Mas on hand in the policemen's gym nasium and mussed up his sparring farmers in the usual manner. If Flynn uses the same methods in his bout with l"arcy that he has been em ploying in his daily workouts tonight's main bout is going to be a rough af fair. Klynn can take plenty of pun ishment and Intends standing right up under Darcy's shower of punches to get across the wallop that he expects will eend Darcy to the cleaners. Darcy is in perfect fettle for his tilt with Klynn. The local boxer cannot afford to be on the short end of a de cision in his bout with Flynn if he ex pects to maintain the prestige he now commands in Pacific coast ringdom, and Flynn has spilled the beans for more than one aspiring boxer. Sid Mitchell Arrive. Sid Mitchell arrived from Seattle yesterday for his bout with Kid Her man in tonight's semi-windup. Mitch ell, in company with his manager. Dan Salt, and Lackay Morrow, who boxes Johnny Cashill in the curtain-raiser, are domiciled at the Treves hotel. Kid Herman is primed for a fast bout tonight and expects to topple Mitchell off before the sixth round looms in sight. Herman will make his first appearance here since he lost a fast aifd furious six-round decision to Johnny McCarthy and wants to wade deep into local fans' good graces by stopping Mitchell if he is able to do so. Peter Mitchie, who won a six-round decision from Harold Jones of Tacoma at the last smoker, is down to weight for his bout with Harry Anderson of Seattle. These battlers agreed to make JJ8 pounds ringside and Mitchie is well under weight. Anderson has been having some trouble getting off sur plus poundage but is expected to get down to the weight agreed upon by the timo the boys enter the ring tonight. Surprise Promised Johnson. Lee Johnson is taking things easy, it is said, figuring he can beat Muff Kronson in their six-round tilt with out much effort, but Bobby Evans, who is looking after Muff's condition, says the colored lad is going to be treated to one big sweet surprise when he mixes with Bronson tonight. This bout ought to be a sizzler if the par ticipants battle according to the dope. Lackay Morrow arrived from Seattle yesterday for his bout with Johnny Cashill in tonight's curtain-raiser. Morrow conies well recommended for liis ability to mix and as Cashill always fives the. fans a run for their money they ought to put the pasteboard hold ers in good spirits for the balance of the programme. Stanley Macdonald has not fully re covered from his attack of influenza and yesterday visited Commissioner Henry and requested that he be ex cused from officiating in any of to night's bouts. Jack Grant will referee all five bouts. A jazz band will provide excitement from 7:45 to 8:15 o'clock for those who arrivo early on the scene of hostilities.

Jlieh Stake Up Xor Big Race. CINCINNATI. Feb. 12. f SDecial.'V The Latonia. championship stake, to be run curing the autumn meeting this year, will be the richest turf event ever run in America. From all indications it looks as though the winner will get about J60.O00. No other stake has ever approached this. When Boundless won the- American derby In 1S93 his owners received $49,600, net, as their share of the puree. The Latonia etake is bound to exceed this amount.

Captain Wallace, Halfback and Cross-Country Runner, Returns l'rom Service With Marines. MINNEAPOLIS.' Feb. 12. Every branch of athletics at the Uni versity of Minnesota sent its quota of fighting: men to France, and the record indicates that the men displayed the same frlitterinff quality as shown on the gridiron, the diamond and the track. Nearly every member of the famous 1916 football squad served his country. Most of these- men won commissions. Lieutenant Baston, captain of the team. was wounded in action twice while his marines were smashing: German forces in the closing: days of the war. Baston received the war cross. Lieutenant Jack Townley. who was in the 19th di vision In the St- Mihiel drive, was cited for bravery. Jimmy Eallentine, track and football star, was wounded: Judee Wyman and Shorty Long are with the army of oc cupation. All are lieutenants. Gil Sin clair is an ambulance driver in Italy. Georg-e Hauser and Frank Mayer of the 1916 eleven did their bit the for mer as an ensign and Mayer as an of ficer of a machine grun company. Jack Hanson, Emmett Dougherty, Ed Wiske, Parker Anderson, Walter Haertel, L. E. Teberg-. Theron Gerow, Bob Gray, Archie Carlson and Perry Johnson of the same team are officers. Paul Car roll and Kewpie Sohroeder- were traiiv ins to become ensig-ns when, the war ended. Captain Wallace, halfback in 1916 and 1917, and a cross-country star, is back in college after seven months of service with the marines. Lieutenant Paul Tobin, Captain Loren Solon, Cap tain Ossie Solem. Poles Rosenthal, Bernie Bierman. Paul Flynn, Jack Phil lips, Dave Goode, B. Jr. Johnson, Neal Aronson, and a host of others fought as bravely and successfully for their country as they did for their alma mater. SOME of the weirdest and funniest plays possible often happen in the majors, though a big leaguer is sup posed to know . baseball from A to Z. Often one hears the statement that the amateurs can bring about situations which it seems the rules don't even cover, but I have seen situations in major league games which rival most anything that could be staged on the sandlols. Plays in which two runners arc stand ing on the same base at the same time, with a fielder nearby with the ball ready to touch either man, for the moment causes . the fan, and this inci dent will prove, the player, to wonder which is the proper man to touch. If one would only remember that a base always belongs to the original oc cupant unless he is forced to vacate it, the situation would be easy of solu tion. With runners on third, we will say, the runner originally on that base is entitled to it. The runner who came up from second is not exempt from be ing put out. even though standing on third. The fielder should always touch the runner other than the original oc cupant. Several years ago in an American league game a catcher, considered a good backstop, made the play that provoked a big laugh, cost the ball game and caused embarrassment for the backstop. He has since passed from the major league, so X will not reflect on his good work by recalling one of the costly "bones" he pulled. With runners on first, second and third and two out, the catcher, by a snap throw to third base, got the run ner napping off that base. A run-up ensued and while the catcher and in fielders were trying to touch out the runner between third and borne, the other runners advanced from first to second and second to third. The plaj ended with two runners etanding on third and one on'second. The catcher, with the ball, touched the runner who was the original occupant of the base and then tossed the ball toward the shortstop, believing tho side had beea retired. The moment he did so. the two runners on third almost did a lock step for the home plate. The short stop recovered the ball, and threw to the first baseman, who had first figured in tho run up and was the player near est tho plate. The throw was wild and before the ball was recovered all three runners had scored. I recall another instance where such a play caused two veterans, upon be- WONDER WHAT A MAN THINKS ABOUT WHILE DANCING WITH HIS WIFE? See TuA-fi j Swell lCOtfM& 3lRL OVER Tweree - 5omc Fenowy ARC LOCK V - BUT TUeej i s pose it a OUT TomORROiV Ml GUT To do BELT " OUT To KAY PASTY" Tmis r' ins touched, to walk off their base, whereupon the fielder again touched the original occupant of the bag, mak ing a double play, and making the original occupant of the ba glook de cidedly foolish, in leaving a bag that belonged to him. It is surprising how players often complicate this situation by the original occupant forgetting he is entitled to the base and walking off. believing he is forced. Of course, the moment the fielder touched the runner who had come up from second, that runner was out, though standing on the bag. and, when the original occupant stepped off the bag. believing he was forced, he made it possible for the fielder to complete a double play when he was touched with the ball. Some years ago two wise base run ners made a rather embarrassing sit uation for me by taking advantage of their rights. Both runners were lying on the ground at their base. The run ner coming up from second slid into the bag feet first, while the runner who had been trapped between third and home went back head first. The catcher with the ball started to touch the foot of the player who had come up from second. As he did so the runner who originally, occupied the bag withdrew his hand a few inches from the base. The catcher after having touched the foot of the player, surprised that I had made no decision, discovered the hand of the other player a few inches from the bag. That act made the other run ner who had his foot on the bag exempt from being put out. The catcher made a lunge at the arm of that player and immediately the other runner pulled his fopt a few inches off the base. The act was repeated several times and began to be more or less of a joke. 1 finally decided the runner from second was touched before the other runner ! had withdrawn his hand. We might have been there yet if I hadn't so de cided. STANFORD POLICY OUTLINED Re-establish men t of American Foot ball Play Recommended. - STANFORD UNIVERSITY. Cal.. Feb. 12.

("Art") Ritter, infielder for the Portland Buckaroos in the Pacific Coast International league last season, and slated to wear a McCredic uniform in the Pacific Coast league this year, who is wintering as a student at the University of Oregon, has evidently not been coached to run on a foul, or with a fowl. As a result of the nrglcct of this ed ucation. Ritter fell into the clutches of the law late yesterday afternoon, and will tomorrow make his explanation to Miss Grace Stearns, umpire presiding over the police court of this city. Rittcr's decision to "farm out" with the college boys and his later accept ance of an invitation to join a local fraternity is at the bottom of the epi sode. Initiation rites among tho fra ternities are on the schedule for this week, and Ritter went to bat Tuesday afternoon with Instructions to gather in a fowl and cook it according to primitive rules. Bitter connected and got the fowl a nice, fat one the pride of a local fancier's coop. But luckless "Art" was not far off the roost before the owner got wise and sent in a riot call for the police. Chief C. B. Christensen re sponded, only to find Ritter well on his way along the paths. But "Art" never got as far as the plate, nor did the fowl. When Chris tensen located the erring ball artist in the deep outfield of the Eugene suburbs. Ritter had tho chicken quartered, drawn and corraled in a stew pot over a merry fire. The chief and "Art," the latter still hanging on to his fowl, started for the city 'clubhouse." but as they neared the business district Ritter broke loose for another steal, this time for liberty. Outdistancing Christensen, ho swung around the third corner and attempted a squeeze play under a low porch, only to be put out by the heels. Today Rittcr's frat brothers ex plained away the theft of the fowl. Dallas to Meet Portland Team. DALLAS, Or., Feb. 12. (Special.) BY BRIGGS. ACHS. tXt. "BcT GLAD S ofea- KMowy a.
