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.

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.

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

ASTORIA, Or., Dec. 9. (Special.)
E. S. Prouty and E. N. Hurd of Sea

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.

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.
