President Ban Johnson of the Aiorican league, ac companied by five 'loyal" club own ers, departed tonight for New York to accept the challenge of the three "rebel" directors and attend the meet ing called for Wednesday to settle the contest for the presidency of the league.

The decision to at tend the New York meeting was reached by the five loyal club owners at a secret meeting this afternoon. After the session President Johnson announced that the meeting called for Chicago Wednesday had been called off. This action was taken on the advice of counsel in the belief that the quickest way to straighten out the tangle was to compel the op position to "lay its cards on the table of its own choosing." George W. Miller, counsel for Presi dent Johnson and his associates, said that the majority club owners. did not by their action admit the right of the directors to call this meeting, but it was their desire to compel a show down. The meeting today was not a pro tracted one and at its conclusion all parties to it maintained that it was both harmonious and confident. All five "loyal" clubs were fully repre sented. Those in attendance were- B. & Minor and Clark Griffith of the Washington club; President Phil Ball and Business Manager Robert Quinn of St. Louis; Treasurer Tom Shibe and Manager Connie Mack of the Philadel phia club: Frank Navin of the Detroit club and James C.

COMMITTEE ASKS FOR TIME Pasadena Body Urges Harvard to Wait on Coal Conference. CAMBRIDGE, Mass.. Dec. 8. The carnival of roses committee of Pasa dena. Cal., has asked the Harvard Athletic association to postpone final decision on the trip of the Harvard football team to the coast for a New Year's day game until the result of the coal conference at Indianapolis is announced. The trip was cancelled last Saturday because of the fuel situation. A meeting of the athletic committee has been called for Wednesday, when the request for reconsideration will be taken up. FRENCH Ml CHAMPION FIFTEEN THOUSAND CHEEK MAX WHO. BEAT BECKETT. M. Decoin Avers Readiness to De posit $100,0 00 to Secure Demp sey Go for Paris Sport Club. PARIS, Dec. S. (By the Associated Press.) Georges Carpentier. French fighter, who won the championship of Europe from Joe Beckett of Lon don, returned to Paris this evening. "I .have signed nothing. I am wait ing for offers. 1 want a little time to think it over," he said. Seldom has a conquering hero re turned from a victorious campaign received such a welcome as did Car pentier. Fully 15.000 persons were crowded into the North Station, cheering and Binging "The Mar seillaise." The French promoters are pleased that Carpentier has not signed an agreement of any kind with W. B. Cochrane. British promoter. M. De coin, manager of the Wonderland Sporting club of Paris, who on Satur day sent a cablegram to Jack Kearns, offering to deposit whatever amount Jack Dempsey would ask for a 20 round fight with Carpentier on July 14, informed the Associated Press that T DARCY COXFIDEXT OX EVE OF GIBBONS BOUT. Swarthy Boxer Will Depend . on Healthy Constitution to Hold Own Against ' Tommy. Tommy Gibbons of St. Paul, claim ant of the light-heavyweight cham- 'Pionship of the world, and Jimmy Darcy of Portland yesterday wound up the training licks for their ten tound bout at Milwaukie tomorrow night. Gibbons boxed six rounds at j Ad Garlook's gymnasium and went through about six more sessions of shadow work, bag punching and rope pulling. The St. Paul Phantom looks to be in great shape and prepared to do his best. Darcy is in splendid physical con dition and will depend upon hia stamina and agressiveness to beat Gibbons. The Portland scrapper has a world of confidence and in the past con fidence has been known to win soma battles. The fans are glad that he has plenty of self-esteem, as Gibbons appears to be a boxer requiring plenty of such a concoction to defeat. Gibbons has never had a decision rendered against him by a referee and it is not likely that he will take any chances of spoiling that un blotched record tomorrow night. Jack Fahie, the veteran Portland sportsman who seconded and managed the famous Mysterious Billy Smith, in his palmy days, will be behind Darcy and will send his protege in from the start of the battle. He realizes that Darcy's only chance will be to tear in and outfight Gibbons, if such a thing is possible, and Jimmy will enter the ring with that mind in view. Bobby Ward, who also hails from St. Paul and received the rudiments or tne Xistic art from Tommy's fa mous brother, Mike Gibbons, is ready to test conclusions against Stanlev Willis of Philadelphia in the semi- winaup or eight rounds. Ward uses the Gibbonsbody and head shift and has been training with Tommy since tne latter s arrival in Portland from Seattle. Ward Is the best man that Willis has been called upon to meet since he has been boxing around these parts and it will be a hard test for ntm. The former Pennsylvania battler, who has adopted Portland as his home, has been fast fighting his way into the main event class and a de cisive victory over Ward will entitle him to some consideration for a bout against one of the top notchers. The Georgie Brandon-Niel Zim merman eight-round or less set-to is coming in for as much attention as any other mill on the card and Matchmaker Frank Kendall is figur ing on its being one of the best bouts of the evening. For real scrapping the battle put up between these two featheweights at the last -show staged by the Portland boxing com mission has never been surpassed since the advent of the ten-round game in Oregon, and the fans look for another . red-hot encounter. Weldon'Wing and Carl Martin will open the show in a six-round claBh. pjisu game is in me TIME NOW VERY SHORT FOR SECTIONAL CONTEST. Action of Coast Conference Taking . Jurisdiction of Title Claimants Welcomed by Grid Fans. Harvard's cancellation of the New Year's game at Pasadena with an un named western university eleven, but generally considered to be Oregon, has placed the football committee at Pasadena in an embarrassing posi tion, inasmuch as the frlmann rffl I cials gave as their reason for cancel lation tne curtailment of passenger train service from the east. This not only places the same obstacle in the way of any other eastern team which might be selected, but also puts it in the position of playing second fiddle to Harvard. This is especially true of Princeton, which Is a member of the "Big Three" conference with Harvard. The failure of the Pasadena com mittee to select the western represen tative, coupled with the cancellation from Cambridge, puts the annual New 1'ear's east-west classic on an in definite footing. W. F. Creller, chairman of the foot ball committee, states that Pasadena will have a football . game January 1. regardless of Harvard's coming west. If the committee have made up their minds to this effect it might be said that they will have to ar rive at some definite conclusion very soon, as New Year's day is not far off. The time left now is regarded as being too short to properly con dition a team for a major game of this importance, especially consider ing the fact that all the teams have broken training and would have to go through a reconditioning process. The action taken by the Pacific coasj intercollegiate conference def initely to settle the champions of the conference by their own body no doubt will clarify the choice in fu ture years for the big intersectional games, thereby avoiding Just such a condition as now exists between Washington and Oregon in regard to the Pasadena game. It will also tend to stop the reported juggling of schedules by certain ' -ams as it has been rumored was the case this year. It is a well-known fact that cer tain teams in the conference were feared this year on account of the supposition schedules were tampered with. It appears that the conference officials' action on these matters was a master stroke and will relieve the tournament of roses football commit tee of the trouble of deciding cham pions in the future. - Graduate Manager Marion McCIain of Oregon will write finis on one of the most successful football seasons In the history of the lemon-yellow institution just as noon as the New Year's game is settled. Without a cent to start on. McCIain took hold of the job at Oregon and was told to build a new athletic field. He started in the middle of the summer on an old plowed field and ereoted one oZ the best athletic fields in the northwest, completing it in time for the annual Oregon-O. A. C. contest November IS. This field is a fittine- tribute to the faithful and best-liked man in Eu gene. Or., Trainer Bill Hayward. to whom it was dedicated by Governor Olcott on "Bill's" 16th anniversary as a conditioner of Oregon's athletes. The showing of the Oregon eleven nas oeen very pleasing to McCIain in a personal as well as a financial way. His report will no doubt re ceive the approval of all Oregon stu dents. Seattle Trains at Hanford. HANIHDRD, cal.. Dec. 8. The Se attle club. of the Pacific Coast base ball league will start spring train ing here March 1, according to a letter received today from F. B. Riv era, representing Director Brewster, former club preident. The letter said the directors would spare no effort to obtain a winning team for Seattle the coming season. Bend Elks Hold Memorial. BEND, Or, Dec. 8. (Special.) Me morial services for departed Elks were held here yesterday bv Bend lodge. No. 1371. B. P. O. E. The roll of absent brothers contains but two names, Vernon A- Forbes, formerly state representative from central Ore gon, and Ralph Poindexter. J. B. Cof fey of Portland was the chief speaker at the Elks "lodge of sorrow." a and the reason? Not pric,eertainly. Men who patronize such places as these can buy what they want. There's no doubt about ft they want Fatimas because ef the Fatima blend. Fatima contains more Turkish tobacco than any other Turkish blend cigarette. Not too much Turkish, like the over-rich Straight Turkish brands; cot too little, as in cheaper blends which lack Fat i ma's taste and smoothness. Fatima contains just enough Turkish just enough to taste right, and just enough to leave a man feeling right even if he smokes more than usual. Why not try "just enough Turkish"? SALE OF SEALS IS HEAVY X EARLY HALF OF OREGON'S TOTAL JiOW IX SIGHT. Downtown Booth Receipts Reach Second Highest Mark of Cam ' palgn; Hotel Men Contribute. "Twenty thousand dollars of Ore gon's $44,260 budget for the sale of Christmas seals is already In sight and the sale has been on but seven days," said Mrs. Saidie Orr-Dunbar, executive secretary of the Oregon Tu berculosis association, which is con ducting the seal sale. -."Two years ago the Portland returns at this stage of the sale were less than $8000. This year they total more than 110,000 and the avalanche of telegrams and let ters from all sections of the state asking for more seals indicates that the sale outside of Portland is going even bigger than it is in the city." Yesterday was the second biirirest day for the downtown booth sale, the total returns being $465.23. The booths in the hotels were occupied by the members of the ladies' auxil iary of the Oregon Greetera' associa tion, of wtilch Mrs. Victor Brandt is president. The Greeters' wives were so Tit Sfa4fcM determined to make their sale a suc cess that they took orders for $34 worth of seals at the state hotelmen'a convention, held In Albany last week.
