.Ruling, Although Favorable to
Small Colleges, Is Considered
as Cause for Objection.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eu
gene, Dec. 9. (Special.) Professor
H. C. Howe, Coach Shy Huntington
and Trainer Bill Hayward returned
yesterday from the meeting of th-e
Paclfio coast conference held last
week-end in Seattle. Graduate Man
ager Marlon F. McClain remained in
Seattle to work over the schedules
for the coming year with other man
agers and has not yet returned
Professor Howe, who was Oregon's
representative at the conference, is of
tho belief that the business com
pleted by the conference was quite
favorable to Oregon,
"The ruling favoring a split of the
proceeds of a bis game," he said, "was
suggested by the smaller schools, but
the plan adopted was the one brought
up by the University of California.
SO-50 Split Is Allowed.
"This ruling allows each team a
EO-50 split of the gate receipts after
the student body of the Lost school
has been admitted free.
"This plan is all right for smaller
schools," commented Professor Howe,
"but I think Washington is quite
right In being unwilling to play on
that basis. I also believe that Wash
ington will stick to Its decision not
to play any conference games under
that agreement. Washington claims
that It has plenty of shipyard teams
to play, and that it will also arrange
a game outside the conference with
the University of Calif rnia."
Professor Howe also believes that
the smaller teams should get some
thing besides expenses when playing
ing a big contest with an institution
like Washington or California.
"Peeve" Felt at Pasadena.
California and Washington are
reeved at Pasadena for commercializ
ing the post-season contest, according
to Howe, and that was the reason for
the adoption of the ruling creating a
post-season gaiw under the auspices
of the conference. The game can be
played in Pasadena If the coast cham
pions are agreeable.
The reason given by Professor
Howe for the rejection of the ap
plication of the University of South
ern California for admiss on to the
conference was that the standards for
entrance to that institution w-ere very
low. "U. S. C. has a student body of
4000 and would offer good competi
tion," said Howe. "Their standards
for entrance are very low, however,
and the university is made up largely
of graduate schools."
Track Schedule Meets Difficulty.
Some difficulty was experienced in
arranging the coast conference track
meet, according to Howe. Stanford's
invitation to stage the meet was ac
cepted, and then it wt; found that
the only date that California could
enter the meet was May 15, or two
days after commencement at the
southern school.
This makes arrangements for duel
meets in the northwest difficult.
None of the coaches care to arrange
meets for the week befo j or after
this May 15 meet, and so far, accord
ing to Bill Hayward, Oregon track
mentor, no other meets have beeD
arranged.
QUINTS MEETING CALLED
INTERSCHOLASTIC SCHEDULE
IS TO BE ARRANGED.
Priucipul Fletcher of James John
Summons Delegates to Meet
Tomorrow Afternoon.
A call haa been issued by William
Fletcher, principal of the James John
high school, for a meeting of the di
rectors of the Interscholastic league
for tomorrow afternoon at the Mult
nomah Amateur Athletic club to dis
cuss basketball plans for the coming
season. As aoon as the manner of
arranging the schedule for the ten
schools which will be entered in the
league has been arranged by the di
rectors, the coaches will meet and
draw up a tentative schedule to be
approved by the board of directors.
Several schools have expressed their
desire to take up soccer football again
this year and this matter will also
be taken up at the meeting Thurs
day. The schools that will enter
basketball teams in the league this
year are: Lincoln, Washington, Jef

JjfHE Right to Happiness"
is an
J
anti-bolshevik picture.
It Is the present feature of the Co
lumbia theater. Dorothy Phillips, the
fascinating star of "The Heart of Hu
manity," is its lead and It was made
under the same director, Allan Holu
bar, who, by the way, is Miss Phillips'
husband.
"The Right to Happiness" is the
story of two girls, twin sisters, who
were separated in Infancy and who
grew to womanhood in different coun
tries, environments and circum
stances. One of these girls gave her
all for others in their "right to hap
piness." The other girl gave noth
ing. She was happy as far as she
knew. The picture is full of dra
matic, historical and romantic inter
est. Its locale Is Russia and the Unit
ed States and its time is both the
present and 1898.
The picture as a whole Is a plea
for co-operation and friendliness be
tween classes. It more than lightly
touches the surface, for it traces back
through the pages of history to other
days of unrest. It shows the progress
mankind has made. It shows the
safety of America over all other na-
10ns and it shows the problems still
to be solved. To the thinking per
son, "The Right to Happiness" is, in
deed, worth while. To the person in
search of pleasure only. It will prove
wo hours of intense interest. Many
beautiful gowns are shown as well as
some scenes of a beautiful and elab
orate estate.
The Columbia orchestra under the
direction of Vincent Knowles accom
panies the picture each afternoon and
evening.
Sunset.
A ragtime romance with a ragtime
star is "Upstairs" with Mabel Nor
mand, which is playing at the Sunset
theater for the balance of the week.
"Upstairs," is Miss Normand's
greatest success since "Mickey," and
her many thousands of admirers have
compared it favorably with that great
success.
Cullen Landis, who was the "Curley
Kid" in the great story, "The Girl
From Outside," plays the part of the
millionaire bellhop in "Upstairs."

among the movie stars of Los Ange
les. There are a lot of stars who claim
that music takes away the mechani
cal end of movie making, intoxicates
the artists, as it were, -and inspires
them. There are other movie stars
who claim the music Is plain "bunk"
and needless expense a nuisance as
it were. Most of the directors are
particularly gloomy when the violin,
organ anJ flute burst into "Smiles"
right when -an emotional scene is en
acted. Among those who play their parts
to the strains of melody can be named
Mary Plckford, Lew Cody, Kitty Gor
don and others.
Among those who claim they can
get along real well without music are
Dusttn Farnum, Florence Reed, Frank
Keenan and others.
The Producer is quiescent. With or
without music it's all the same to
him!
"Now," said Fatty Arbuckle. the
other day, "I know what I am."
"What are you?" some one In
quired, interestedly.
"I found out in an article in the
New York Telegraph the other day.
Correspondence from a special writer
in Paris. She said she was looking
for American pictures and finally
spotted one that advertised "Fatty
Bouchon." She went In and. to her
surprise, found It was one of my pic
tures. They call me Bouchon,' there,
it seems."
"But what is 'Bouchon'?"
"I looked that up too," responded
the comedian with a grin, "and I can't
get the allusion. Buchon means in
French, a cork or a wisp of straw.
Now the cork part might be all right
the allusion to my weight I would
float perhaps, see? But the wisp of
straw I don't get it. I've been afraid
that means buche, and that means a
blockhead. You don't think it was a
misprint, do you?"
The other assured him that it was
not, and Fatty ambled away scratch
ing his head and muttering, "Bouchon
Buche doggone it, I can't get this
French dope right somehow."
Ann Forrest, playing in the picture
"Dangerous Days," a Reginald Barker
production, is a palmist. She can look
at your mitt and tell you whether
you use soap, and lots of other inter
esting things. She doesn't look a bit
spooky; she looks like a good scout,
which she is; but she croons over
your hand like a regular old witch,
and she's got Director Barker so
shivery and shaky that he flatly re
fuses to let her inspect the lines in
his palm.
Miss Forrest made quite a reputa
tion for herself as a palmist during
the war. She read palms both at the
Goldwyn studios and at Venice, Cal.,
for the Red Cross fund.
Helen Ferguson, who appears In
Rex Beach's story "Going Some,"
made her first appearance in the
movies at the age of 12. She ran

President Heydler Emphasizes Need
of Working Agreement With
Minor League Clnbs.
NEW YORK. Dec 9. The annual
meeting of the board of directors of
the National league and the regular
meeting of the club owners took place
today. President Heydler said the
meeting might last through the
greater part of the week.
xu new ooara or directors was
elected, consisting of Messrs. Stone
nam, rew xork; Grant, Boston; Drey-
rus, Pittsburg, and Veeck. Chicago.
j.i was decided that In future two
western ana two. eastern clubs will
be represented on the board and that
they would alternate each succeeding
year. A rumor that the Brooklyn
club had been sold to a syndicate of
.Brooklyn men was denied by Presl
dent Ebbetts.
.Major a. Rickey. president and
manager of the St. Louis club, ex
plained that there was still a doubt
as to whether he or some other per
son wouia manage the team next sea
son.
ine constitution was amended sa
that any club owner, manager, player
or agent convicted of tampering with
players belonging to other league
clubs would be fined $1000. Expulsion
may be the penalty for second offense.
154-Game Schedule Favored.
The league voted In favor of a 154-
game schedule for the 1920 season
which will open on Wednesday. April
14. subject to the approval of the
American league, which will meet to
morrow. The training season was ex
tended from four to six weeks.
Mr. Heydler unofficially stated that
the lengthening of the world's series
to nine games and the new rules for
the division of the receipts seemed to
find favor among the club owners.
President Heydler presented his an
nual report on league affairs, part of
which read as follows;
"On the debit side of our affairs we
can place the ruling of Judge Stafford
in the Baltimore suit that profes
sional baseball is commerce and that
the system of operating organized
baseball is a monopoly or an attempt
at monopoly and therefore in viola
tion of the Sherman law.
'This finding has been appealed to
the higher court, which hearing, how
ever, may not be reached until the
spring or summer of 1920. We are
hopeful that in the final analysis the
national sport will not be classed as
commodity or as a combination In
restraint of trade. .
Minor Situation Bothers.
'The breaking away of the minors
from the national agreement may
likewise be viewed unfavorably; for,
although the majors have not suf
fered by this breach, yet chaotic
conditions are bound to ensue unless
proper working understandings are
re-established under a central gov
ernment. The minors have notified
us that they have appointed a com
mittee of eight for this purpose, and
there is no question as to the wisdom
of holding a joint conference. It Is
my judgment, however, that no new
agreement can be entered Into except
on legal advice of how best this can
be done without running into con
flict with the Washington court's
ruling on the question of monopoly.
"Passing to the credit side of the
year's work, we are all to be con
gratulated on the thorough and rapid
manner in which baseball made tne
transition from a war-time non
essential to an af ter-the-war public
necessity and stabilizer.
Bouquet Due Game.
"Baseball has full reason to be
proud of its share in the reconstruc
tion and in its share in furnishing
money to the treasury department at
Washington in helping to pay the
price of victory. We have it on the
best government authority that no in
terest contributing to the national
taxes has shown a finer spirit of co
operation than has professional base
ball. It came through right, with a
rating of 100 per cent."
Several deals were spoken of, in
cluding the rumored purchase of
Shortstop Rogers Hornsby of St. Louis
by the New xork club. President
Rickey spiked this rumor by saying:
"There is not enough money in the
National league to buy Hornsby from
St. Louis."
It was said that Manager John J.
McGraw had offered a record price
for this player, exceeding the $76,000
mark which was set by the purchase
of Carl Mays by the New York Ameri
cans. President Ebbetts ofr Brooklyn
stated that he had purchased Harold
Elliot, former catcher for the Chicago
Cubs, from the Oakland. Cal., club.

AMERICAN HEADS MEET.
Preliminary Session of Johnson
and Gotham Factions Breaks Up
In Healthy Disagreement.
NEW YORK, Dec. 9. The dove of
peace probably wil not hover over
the annual meeting of the American
league tomorrow when the two rival
factions meet.
Hopes for a peaceful meeting were
dashed tonight after a conference be
tween representatives of the two
sides broke up.
Negotiations ended when Charles
Comiskey, president of the Chicago
club, who met Frank Navin, head of
the Detroit club, accused the five
clubs loyal to President Johnson of
intending to "railroad through" legis
lation favorable to the league presi
dent. Ban Johnson, president of the
American league, and his so-called
"loyal" club owners arrived tonight
from Chicago to attend the annual
i meeting of the American league
tomorrow. Mr. Johnson's party in
eluded James Dunn, president of
the Cleveland club; Phil Ball, presi
dent of the St. Louis club; Thomas
Shibe. treasurer, and Connie Mack,
manager of the Philadelphia club;
Benjamin Miner, president, and Clark
Griffith, manager of the Washington
club; Frank Navin, president of the
Detroit club, and George W. Miller,
attorney for Johnson.
Johnson said he did not expect any
trouble tomorrow. He stated that
the averages of the players who ap
peared in games in which Mays took
part as a New York player appear in
the official summary, and that Mays
games with New xork were included
in the batting and pitching averages.
FEXX STAR IS PROFESSIONAL
Pard Pearce, Fast Halfback, With
Cubs Lst Season.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 9. (Special)
Pard Pearce, Pennsylvania's fast
halfback, considered one of the best
men on the squaa in tne season now
closed, has been a professional since
last summer. The news came as a
shock to athletes here.
Pearce said he played shortstop on
a team In the Three-I league under
the name of Dwyer. A month before
the close of the National league sea
son he became a member of the Chi
cago Cubs and was an understudy to
Hollocher. He expects to go south
with them next spring.
Pearce hails from Providence, R. I.
He came to Penn in 1917 and played
on the freshman team that fall. He
was captain of the 1918 freshman
baseball team.
