Bp Invited to Compete With Americans. BT HARRY EDDAS. Hawaii plana to hold a big Interna tional athletic meet next year. Such was the information given to the offi cials of the Amateur Athletic union of America at their annual meeting: in Boston recently when Alexander Hume Ford, the Hawaiian delegate asked the official backing of the union after which it passed a resolu tion promising its moral support to these games. The Hawaiian delegate told the various representatives of the A. A. U. at the convention that the island ers planned to have this pan-Pacific meet every two or Miree years and there seems to be no reason why an athletic meet rivaling the best cannot be held. Swimming will play a big part in the meet and the world may expect a flood of new stars for there are hun dreds of youths and maidens In the islands who are today swimming in record time, but as yet have not been "found." The meet, if held, can be staged any month of the year for the weather is Ideal the year round. Athletes can train there without trouble for every thing that is attractive ;.nd necessary to the building of sport is there. The annual fall swimming regatta, that has been held for the past sev eral years will then be merged with this meet, the year it takes place. Athletes from China, Japan, the Phil ippines, Australia. New Zealand and Canada will be invited. Australia has some wonderful swimmers, and the gathering will bring out the aquatic stars of the other far eastern coun tries. Coast bwimmers entered at the fall swimming meet at Honolulu are all back again and have entered training for the events of the winter season. Pacific coast swimmers are indeed lucky, situ having the use of the tanks. The coal shortage has already put the swimming game out of busi ness in the cast. Winter training and events have been postponed indefin itely on account of the fuel adminis tration ruling governing the use of coal. Bachrach, famous coach of the Illi nois Athletic club, after sojourning on the coast and in Hawaii with Ross, is en route home to get .his team In shape for the winter events. He will face another vacation on account of the enforced closing of the club's pwimming pool. William G. (Buddy) Wallen at the recent meeting of the board of direc tors of the Illinois Athletic club was elected a life member of the club in recognition of his wonderful work on behalf of the club in the ' aquatic world. Wallen is the 1919 title hoder of the 440, 880 and mile swims. Perry lcGillivray was chosen for a place on the athletic committee of the club. Emil Vodjansky. former Multnomah elub swimming star, is up against it. Vodjansky several years back turned pro and during the war taught swim ming under Uncle Sam. He recently wanted to return to amateur compe tition, and upon making application the past week was informed that he will have to wait until the next meet ing of the Amateur Athletic union be fore his reinstatement can be acted upon. It is less than three weeks since the last annual meeting was held. In the meantime he will keep in training and be in condition when bis case is finally settled. While the date of the Oregon state swimming and diving championships has not been announced, local swim mers are preparing. The Multnomah club's women divers have this week entered training for this event. The men are to be seen splashing about on Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights. Much outside competition will be entered in the meet when it is held. The Portland public schools will have teams of youngsters out for the Junior events. Many unattached swimmers training in the Portland natatorium will also be entered. Much interest Is being shown in the prospects of Frank Kiernan. the fast est man at Multnomah, staging a come-back. Bus Douglas, who had the boys going before he left for France, will stage a return.. Wilsey always can be relied upon, as also can Hosford. Enegrene. Lindstrum and others. The Pembroke sisters. Vir ginia and Irene, with Ethel Knowles, will make up the ladies' swimming team. Mrs. Meyers, Helen Hicks and Thelma Payne will be the big stars In the diving. Mighty fine material makes up the junior swimming teams at the club this year. Following the state meet there is the Pacific North west indoor meet, events of which will be divided between Portland and Seattle. BOUTS GO "REGARDLESS" JiOTIUXG SHORT OF EARTH- QUAKK TO STOP CARD. Boxers Spend Idle Day Before Donning Mitts for Kendall's High-Class Menu. BT RICHARD R. SHARP. Neither snow, blizzards nor any thing, excepting an earthquake, will cause the postponement of tonight's card of fights at the Milwaukie arena under the auspices of the Milwaukie boxing commission. George Moore general manager of the arena, and Matchmaker Frank Kendall i nounced last night that the all-star card would go through to the smallest detail as billed, with Tommy Gibbon of St. Paul meeting Jimmy Darcy o Portland in the main event of ten rounds. Moore has prom'.sed to have the arena well heated and everything possible will be done for the comfort of the fistic fans. All of the battlers spent yesterday lounging in their respective hotel lobbies Or convened for a chat at vari ous locales where the sporting fans congregate. Both Gibbons and Darcy were reported to be fit and primed for their ten canto set-to. The boys will have to fight fast to keep warm. Pa rading a.ound in a pair of abbreviated tights will not exactly be comfortable this evening, if yesterday was any criterion. With visions of a match against Jack Demyscy or Georges Curpeulier HAWAIIAIVS in sight Tommy Gibbons will enter the squared circle tonight determined to beat Darcy as decisively as he can. On the other hand Jack Fahie, who looks after Darcy. said yesterday that Jimmy was never in better.shape and realizes that a victory over Gibbons will iu one leap place him in line for some bouts against the country's best mitt men; will enter the ring with just as much determination to score a decision over Gibbons as the -latter will to defeat him. Eddie Kane, .the St. Paul light-heavyweight's' man ager, is by no means underrating the local battler and has .been putting Gibbons through some stiff paces for the contest. - Stanley Willis will enter the ring with much the same kind of a mill on his hands as Darcy when he meets Bobby Ward, the clever St. Paul lightweight. Ward has a big reputa tion throughout the east and, al though he did not win over Muff Bronson in his first start in Portland recently, he showed the fans that ,he is a real boxer. Among his victories in the east is a two-round knockout win over Johnny Schauer. Ward has beaten a number of other well-known boys and while- in France won the lightweight championship of the 91st division. Willis came to Portland a little over a year ago from Pennsylvania. He got off to a fair start, but never burned any roads. He held his own and that was all. Not until the ten-round game came into vogue did Willis start to show any real class, but he -has done that of late. His showing against Harry Casey was a revelation to the fans, who always had the impression he could not take a punch. He took all that Casey had right on the point and came back for more. In meeting Ward he will be stacking up against a boxer along his own style and will perfectly at home. Both are ag gressive and, with eight rounds to go, he bout should be a whirlwind af fair. A bout that will draw a lot of the fans away from the fireside will be the eight-round special event between eorgle Brandon and Niel Zimmer man, Portland s two promising feath- rweights. As a bantamweight Bran- on cleaned up everything on the Pacific coast. His recent six-round ight against Zimmerman here, in which the latter won the decision, was is debut in local circles as a feather weight. Brandon served in the navy uring the war and made nine trips across the Atlantic. The battling oungster took on weight and is now ampaigning among the feather weights. He was greatly handicaped by a bad cold against Zimmerman ast time and, although a trace of the cold is still with him, he expects to be able to travel twice as fast against Zimmerman tonight. The all-star card will be opened by a six-round mill between Weldon Wing and Carl Martin. Two years ago this bout would have been a main event, but with so many top notchers in our midst these two have been crowded to the bottom of the mill, but still retain their class, nevertheless. Wing holds decisions over many leading 130-pounders on he Pacific coast while Martin is a formidable boxer. The first bout will get under way between 8:15 and 8:30 and Match maker Kendall figures that the rowd will be on its way home an hour earlier than the last show. In order to let out earlier the two spe cial events were cut trom ten to eight rounds for this bil, the main event being the only one slated for en cantos. GRAFTERS ARK WARNED AWAY lorida Metropolis Establishes Commission to Govern Sport. Jacksonville, Fla., is to the front with a wrestling commission to gov ern all mat matches pulled on in that city. It is the first move of its kind and will be watched with great interest Con Riley of Cincinnati, who is now the boxing instructor at the Jackson ville Athletic club, in a letter home states that all fakers and stallers had better give the Florida metropolis a wide berth. 'We have an innovation here." says Riley in his letter, "that will prevent professional grafters from picking up easy coin from the unsuspecting public. It is a wrestling commission composed of a half-dozen of our best citizens. The commission was ap pointed by the city council and is now in control of the sport locally." V. of W. Declines Game.

I. ; i BILL HANLEY COMES AS WAVERLEY "PRO" Bear State Golfer, to Take Country Club Place. VETERAN'S RECORD GOOD Course Marks Set in East as Well as California Testify as to Playing Ability. William Hanley or "Bill" as he is better known to the golfing frater nity throughout the country, former ly golf professional at the Annandale Golf club of Pasadena, Cal., has been appointed professional of the Waver ley Country club of this city to fill the position vacated by J. Martin Watson several weeks bko. The Waverley club certainly scored an "eagle" when it secured the serv ices of Hanley as professional for the local golf course. From the time he was a small boy Hanley has followed the golfing game, and at the present time his ability as an instructor and club maker is recognized throughout the country. It is in the latter de partment that he is especially pro ficient, and while at Pasadena Han ley received orders from all parts of the country for clubs. Jt was at the Richmond Country club of New York that Hanley while yet a boy picked up the rudiments of the ancient Scottish game. He se cured his first position as profes sional at the New Haven Country club where he tutored the linksmen of that club for three years. Course Records Still Stand. From the New Haven club, Hanley came to the Annandale Golf club of Pasadena, where he has served as professional for the past eight years. Although Hanley has played on near ly every large course in the country this is his first trip to the northwest. He holds the course record of 66 at the New Haven Country club and his 65 at the Annandale Golf club still stands. Hanley expressed himself as pleased with the course at Waverley and also with the interest taken in golf in the northwest. He said that he was suprised to find so many per sons in this section who understand and play golf. Bear State Colfrra Few. In California according to Hanley, there are comparatively few resident golfers; the majority of those who pastime on the southern courses be ing visitors from the east. The new Waverley professional left 'ast night for Pasadena to settle up his affairs at the Annandale club. While in the south be will attend the meeting of the Southern Cali fornia Golf Professionals' association which meets at Pasadena December 16. Hanley is president of the "pros" association. After he has settled up his business affairs in California Hanley will return to Portland to as sume the duties of his new position at Waverley. Baseball on the Inside. Would you please tell me the aver age height of major league first base men? Also name some instance of tall and short first basemen. L. r. B. Major league managers prefer tall first basemen. Six-footers are much in evidence. There are two reasons. They offer an excellent target for the infielders and because of their height are believed to be better able to handle high and wide throws. Of late years, however, a number of first basemen who measure less than six teet have broken into the majors and made good with a vengeance. Stuffy Mclnnis was perhaps the first to command attention. Joe Judge of Washington is another classy infielder who is several inches less than six feet. And there is Sisler, who, I am positive, will fall a bit short of the six-foot mark. Wally Pipp of the New York Americans is one of the elongated first sackers who uses his added inches to great advantage. Do you believe Connie Mack will ever build another baseball machine that will win the American league pennant? I was much interested in the stand Mack took when he broke up his great team, and have followed closely his efforts to rebuild. So far I have been disappointed in my hopes and am fearful Mack will not be able to turn the trick. R. D. L. For four or five years Mack has SNOW SLIDE NO. 764 had rather tempestuous time in his effort to get another pennant winner. Just as the United States got into the war, I began to think Mack had a team pretty well shaped up. Almost over night it was shot to pieces. I have such a great admiration for Mack as a manager and such confi dence in his ability to develop play ers and teams that I feel that he will come through shortly and have all the critics singing his praises. He has a great catcher in Perkins. In Joe Dugan I believe he has the making of one of the greatest shortstops in the history of the game. It wpuld not surprise me if Jimmy Dykes' filled the hole at second base. He was a good ballplayer when Mack sent him south for more experience and I un derstand he had a big year with At lanta. Naylor is destined to be a great pitcher. In Witt he has a natural hit ter, who should round into a good outfielder. Then there is the old re liable Amos Strunk, George Burns and a bunch of recruits. Don't give up hope in Connie, because he has an other good race packed away some where. Would you please give your opinion of the following: In a game between two teams, A and B, the score at the beginning of the fifth inning is 3 to 1 in favor of A. In the last half of the fifth. B ties the score on a dis puted decision at home plate, the um pire declaring the runner safe. A is dissatisfied with the decision and wfe.lks off the field, whereupon the umpire announces the game a 9 to 0 forfeit to B. Should not the bettors on A to win pay their bets? There was none out zt the time this run was allowed and two were on base. If the umpire in charge forfeited the game to the B team because the A team refused to abide by one of his decisions, the B surely won 9 to 0 and A lost by the same margin. Will you please give ruling on the following: There are three men on base with one out. Batter hits a short fly to left (not an inifeld fly), which falls safe. Man on third scores, man on second stays on second, man on first crosses second, but seeing man on second goes back to first. Ball is thrown to third, forcing man that was on second. Bali then thrown to second and umpire called it a double play. Did the mac that was on first have to be touched out be cause he had touched second or was he still forced out? Does the run count? Have you stated your play correct ly? A runner cannot pass a preceding runner on the base lines. It would seem from your description of the play, that the runner originally on first, technically passed the runner who was standing on second. That automatically retired said runner and removed any force. Hence the throw ing to third did not make a force out at that base, as the runner on sec ond was privileged to stay there if he desired. ELK TO BE FREED IX CLiATSOP Animals Will Be Unloaded at Sea side and Taken Into Timber. ASTORIA, Or., Dec. 9. (Special.) E. S. Prouty and E. N. Hurd of Sea side, who have been in conference with the state board of game com missioners, have informed Secretary Clinton of the local Elks lodge that they .have obtained a shipment of from 15 to 18 elk for release in Clat sop county. The car will be shipped to Seaside in a few days, and an ef fort is being made to have it lie in Astoria part of a day at least, so the local people may have an opportunity to see the- animals. The elk will be unloaded at Seaside and then taken several miles into the timber in the Elk creek district, which is a natural habitat for these animals. The work of releasing the animals will be under the direction of a committee from the Astoria lodge OI HilKS. Legion Teams to Play. ALBANY, Or., Dec. 9. (Special.) The first intercity basketball game of the season in Albany will be played here next Saturday evening between the American Legion' teams of Albany and Vancouver, Wash. Plans for the game were completed yesterday. The team of the Albany post of the Legion will play its first game Thursday evening of this week against Albany college. It will go to Dallas a week from Saturday to meet the Legion team of that city. Plans are being made for two games with the Multnomah Guard team of Port land, one to be played here and the other in Portland, but the dates have not yet been fixed. Oregon Wins Soccer Title. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eu gene, Dec. 9. (Special.) The Oregon soccer eleven is now state Inter collegiate champion following the tie game played at Corvallis last Satur day. Of the two games played be tween Oregon and O- A. C, in soc cer, Oregon won the first, 3 to 1, and tied the second, 1 to 1. RULES BIG FACTOR HI OLYMPIC GAMES Fiasco in Sweden Fresh Sportsmen's Minds. in FALSE STARTS COMMON Belgians Seek to Avoid Mixup by Sending Out ' Questionnaire Covering Running Events. NEW YORK, Dec. 9. Withih the last couple of weeks an exceedingly knotty point has presented itself to the Belgian Olympic committee, and incidentally this same question has been agitating the minds of the ath letia sharps the world over for some time. It relates to the style of start ing the sprint races to be employed at the Olympic games next summer, whether the Belgians will pursue a method of their own or adhere to the laws laid down by the International federation, or will revert to the plan of the Swedes in 1912 and inflict an other series of blunders on the com petitors. Those who happened to be in the Swedish capital seven years ago still remember what a fiasco the start in the final of the 100 meters turned out to be. Eight false starts and a half hour of valuable time lost on what could be disposed of in a few minutes, and even then the start was a poor one for Johnny Craig, the winner, by no means left on his mark. Neither did Alvah Meyer, who came in second, suffer from the muddle, nor did- Don ald Lippincott, the third man. To all appearances the only contestant to show the signs of the nerve-racking mess was George H. Patching, the South African, and the only competi tor in the race besides the Americans. When the men finally did get under way the Springbok was so befuddled that he scarcely knew whether or not he was going forward or backward, and, of course, as might naturally be expected, brought up the rear when he hit the tape. Belgians Play Safe. One of the Belgian athletic officials has gone so far as to send out a series of questions on starting and one of these shows conclusively that the Bel gians are out to remedy the blunder of the Swedes and to escape any mis take which might afterward lead to any unpleasant aftermath about the big meet. This question, which reached the New York Herald, is as follows: "Can you suggest any method to prevent false starts at the coming Olympic meet? You know the tactics which are indulged in are disgrace ful? 'Could a rule be made which wouli disqualify any man for a break?" Could the representative of any other country, one of whose men had already been disqualified by further breaking, disqualify the said coun try?" These may seem harsh rules, but something stringent which may act as a deterrent should be done to stop the 100-meter from degenerating into a farce; "at least, so far as the start ing is concerned. My idea of a sprinter is an athlete who can stand steady until the pistol is fired and can then jump into his running. As the primary object of the short dashes Is to unearth the best sprinter, a really good one need have no fear of a few restrictions which can at all times prevent a bad one from beating the gun. Of course there have been some isolated cases where mediocre sprinters corralled really first-class races by blunders on the part of start ers and official at the finish, but in the majority of the important races of the world, both amateur and pro fessional, the best man invariably won. A few simple rules will remedy all possibility of a man beating the gun, and not alone that, but such things as delays will be eliminated as well as other minor blunders. Such a rule at the start could be as follows: "Full control of the com petitors shall be given to the starter. who shall have the power to penalize for a break, to recall the men by pistol shot in case he thinks the Btart is unfair, and to disqualify a com petitor for -unruly conduct at the starting line. The routine to be adopt ed with regard to putting competitors on their marks to be, on your marks,' 'get ready' and "get set." For all races up to 100 meters the penalty to be one meter, for races up to and includ ing 200 meters tot be two meters, for 400 meters the penalty to be three meters, for 800 meters it should be four meters, and for all races up to 1500 meters and longer the penalty to be Ave meters. Three breaks at the start on the part of any com petitor to render him liable to dis qualification." Swedish Rnlea Defective. As the main offense against good starting is anticipating the gun, two things to cure the tendency is the fear of a penalty and the recall. There was no specification in the Swedish rules to empower the starter to re call the men once they were sent away, so to tease the starter was sim ply child's play for the Americans, who had plenty of practice at the starts, and one of the men was par ticularly coached by his trainer not to get left on his mark. Consequently when any of the other sprinters made a move to go he bounded away too. There was no penalty for breaking so his method was highly effective and when the men did get away on the ninth attempt he was moving ere the smoke left the barrel of the re volver, and into his full stride much quicker than any of his rivals. In the promotion of athletic meet ings the Swedes have not changed the method of starting which has made the athletes -so nervous that there is not a sprinter in Sweden to day who can hold his mark for more than a couple of seconds, and the evil effect was shown last summer when a team of Swedes visited the English championships. An athlete named Engdhal was the hope for the sprints, but he ran into trouble with a starter who held the men long and steady on their marks. He tried and advised Engdhal to hold his stance, but the Swede became so unbalanced tor having to stick in his hole that he was easily beaten by Hill, who won the century in 10 seconds flat. which in a soggy damp climate like England was a first rate piece of mov ing. Now the question is asked, what ill the Swedes do if the Belgians draft a hard and fast rule like the one suggested in this column or even should they stick to the law of the International federation governing the starting of all races? Home Rnlea Prevail. As a' rule, all countries holding the Olympic games enforce their own rules on visiting teams, and nobodv will blame the Belgians if they should put their ideas of sport into execution. When the English held the games at London in 1908 they included a pen alty rule for breaking in the sprints, and when the big affair was here at St. Louis in 1904 the laws of the A. A. U. were put into effect and the Swedes were not blamed very much for sticking to their. bylaws in 1912. The whole world knew that the Swedes were amateurs when it came to running the Olympic games and were it not for the fact that they per sisted in such items as left-handed throwing of weights and javelin they might since be considered the wise acres of modern sport. When they tried to drift from the old order of things and the old programme thev only exhibited a lamentable lack of critical acumen, for their supposed innovations. such as ambidextrous competition and a "blind" course for the cross-country race, only showed a superficial wisdom in athletics. BICHBD LOOKS ASKANCE DE5IPSEY - CARPEXTIER BOUT TOO HIGH PRICED, HE SAYS. Tortorich, New Orleans-Promoter, Asserts Pair Will Clash In His City March 17. Pugilistic followers are in need of the services of the widely famed Phil adelphia lawyer to straighten out the tangle developing from the proposed international Dame between neav-.y-weignt champion Jack Dempsey and the Kuropean champion. Georges Car. pentier of France. Carpentier's remarkable victory over Joe Beckett of Kngland natural ly makes him the only real contender for Dempsey's title. American eyes were turned to Tex Rickard as soon as Carpentier's victory was an nounced. But Rickard apparently is not interested. He says each fighter will demand such a tremendous guar antee that the contest could not be promoted at a profit. No such worry sets upon the mind of Dominick Tortorich. the New Or leans promoter. Tortorich claims to have Dempsey under contract to meet the winner of the Carpentier-Beckett fight in his city on March 17. Nate Lewis of Chicago, Tortorich says, was due to arrive in London yesterday to sign up Carpentier for the bout. But Carpentier cannot sign such ar ticles, if a tale coming from London is true. He has already signed an agreement with C. B. Cochrane, who promoted the Carpentier - Beckett' fight, to meet Dempsey in London next year. The purse is to be 35,000, or something under $175,000, the winner taking 60 per cent and the loser 40 per cent. The fighters will naturally be out to get the biggest possible purse. Paris wired a story several davs aeo that a Belgian sportsman would put up a purse or szza.uuu lor tne battle. And the Presse de Paris said that a purse of 2.000,000 francs, or about 1180.000 at the" present franc" Value, would be posted for the match, which it is planned to" hold" In Paris in July. Meantime Dempsey is in Los An geles, reaping shekels as a movie actor. His contract forbids his taking part in any sort of pugilistic affray before February 10.
