WHITMAN FIVE VICTOR
BY RICHARD R. SHARP.
Alex Trambltas. the young Port
land welterweight who lost a 10
round decision to Johnny McCarthy,
the San Francisco veteran, at the
Heilig theater Wednesday night, will
meet Jimmy Duffy of Oakland in a
10-round clash at the fresiaio, ssan
Francisco, January 26. Jack Fahie,
who looks after Trambitas' business,
closed for his boxer to meet Duffy
vesterdav.
Alex is suffering no ill results
from his bout with McCarthy ex
cepting a slight cut over one of his
yes. which promises to heal rapidly.
McCarthy and his manager, Ssol Lev
tnsoru departed for San Francisco
Wednesday nisrht.
The San Francisco scrapper, who
Is perhaps endowed with two of the
largest ears in captivity, lougnl
through his entire career covering
10 -years more or leas, without ob
tainlng what is termed In the fistic
vernacular a "cauliflower" ear, until
he met his youthful adversary last
Wednesday night. Today the fight
ing Harp is disporting a most beau
tiful exhibit of said ear. The ripping
and constant punches which Tram
bltas landed on McCarthy's aural
flapper tended to sprout a luscious
spring cauliflower, so Johnny will
have something that will always re-
him rt I Via Vitir-rtfi-.nr.Tt 1 u 1 1 1
If Alex ever becomes a champion
Johnny will have the distinct honor
of boasting about the battle and
pointing to his "wounds."
Getting back to Trambitas again.
he and Duffy are expected to put up
a rattling contest over the 10-round
route. They met in a four-round mill
in Los Angeles some months ago,
Duffy taking a close decision. Fahie
snd Trambitas will leave for San
Francisco tomorrow;
The 10-round game took the Bay
City fans by storm, according to
Fahie, who was behind . his other
battler, Jimmy Darcy, in the latter's
bout with Battling Ortega at Pre
sidio last Monday night. The 10
round bouts are held by the army
officials 'on government property,
thus making them possible. Those in
charge are planning on staging two
shows a month, all of the profits go
ing to the Presidio Service Men's
club. It is estimated that the Darcy
Ortega match drew a gate of be
tween J5500 and $7500. The house
had not yet been counted when Fahie
left, but he states that the Oregon
building was packed to the rafters
mid the admission was scaled from
U to $5.
The next fistic fodder for the local
fans will be in Milwaukie, January
28. Matchmaker Frank Kendall has
signed Boy McCormick, light heavy
weight champion of England, to meet
the best man obtainable in the main
event of 10 rounds, but as yet has not
closed for an opponent. Kendall is
dickering with several well known
light heavyweights and expects to
land one by tomorrow. "Spud" Murphy
of San Francisco is a likely opponent.
Murphy and McCormick fought a
hard four-round draw in the Seal
Rocks city.
Two mafches have boon clinched for
the bill. Earl Baird of Seattle will
meet Harry Pelsinger of San Fran
cisco in the semi-windup of 10
rounds, while Boscovitch will tangle
four rounds with George Fiddler In
the curtain raiser.
Matchmaker Jack Grant of the
Portland boxing commission Is lining
up a list of banner attractions for
Its next bill on February 6. Joe
Benjamin, the Portland lightweight,
who has been standing the eastern
star3 on their heads, is expected from
New Tork next week and will face
Freddie Anderson of Vancouver In the
main event.
Pete Mitchle will step 10 rounds
againet "Puggy" Morton In the semi
wind up. George Brandon may also be
used on the card.
Although Morton failed to show
anything sensational in his 10 round
go with Farren. Grant is going to
give him another chance, stacking
him up against Pete Mitchle. Grant
figures that Morton Is the only boy
available that will make Pete step.
'
Harold Bird, Tacoma's best bet at
lt0 pounds "will shortly make his
debut before the local fans. He is
dickering with both the Milwaukie
and Portland boxing commission. Bird
la a. former sparring partner of Willie
Ritchie's and among the well-known
northwest boxers he has fought are:
Harry Gillum, Marty Foley, Jimmy
Storey and others. Tacoma critics
vouch for Bird and If he has the
goods he 'will be welcomed by the
local fans.
Joe Bonds, the Tacoma light-heavy
weight, who has fought every big
man of prominence from Jack Demp
eey down is another battler anxious
to get started here. Bonds Is willing
to take on anyone and writes that he
Is In good shape.
Lackey Morrow, a rugged Seattle
128 pounder, has written Jack Grant
and Frank Kendall for bouts here and
mentions that he would like to meet
boys of Weldon Wing's class and does
not bar anyone. The Portland fans
will recall that Morrow fought here
about a year ago. If memory serves
right he boxed Johnny Cashill of St.
1'au't, and put up an excellent go.

lem, Or.; Jan. 15. (Special.) The
Willamette five dropped another game
to Coach Borleske's missionaries on
the armory floor tonight by a score
of 39 to 23. The visitors outpaesed,
outshot and outlucked the bearcat
squad nearly all the way and were
leading by 8 points when the first
half was called.
The shooting of Dement. Whitman
tall center, was an outstanding fea
ture of tonight's contest. He annexed
eight field baskets and converted
three out of five free throws.
Rarey was called upon to fill the
guard positions left vacant by D!m
Ick, who received a fractured wrist
last night. Rarey played like a de
mon and will likely cinch a regular
berth hereafter. "Jeter" Gillette also
played a bang-up game for the locals.
For the spectators the game far
excelled last night's for thrills. Coach
Borleske remarked that this contest
was the best his men had played for
two years, and that their work was
superior to that displayed in the Ore
gon games.
Several substitutions were made by
Matthews in the second half. Jackson
was high point man for Willamette
with six field goals.

OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL
LEGE, Corvallis. Jan. 15. (Special.)
How to accommodate the 3274 stu
dents with faculty and townspeople
at the conference basketball games
is what Is troubling James J. Rich
ardson, general manager of student
activities.
During the game with the Multno
mah club of Portland last Saturday
evening, the entire seating capacity
of the men s gymnasium, which is
the largest building of its kind in the
west, was utilized, and it was neces
sary to seat persons on the floor.
Hundreds were unable to gain admit
tance.
The first conference basketball
game of the 1919 season is scheduled
for Friday night, when v Incent Bor
leske brings his Whitman college
quintet here for a clash with the Ag
gies. If the gymnasium was taxed
to its limit to house the crowd at
non-conference game. It Is a matter
of conjecture as to how the thr,png
will squirm Its way into the building
for the conference games, so great is
the enthusiasm here in athletics. Ad
ditional bleachers are being arranged
for by Manager Richardson, and it is
hoped to be able to seat about ooo
more people.
Coach Harglss Is putting his bas-
keteers through some strenuous prac
tice, and they are showing much im
provement in their team work. Stln
son, who looks like the Aggies' one
best bet, is going great guns. Elkel-
man, Arthurs, Hubbard, Rearden, Gur
ley and Iveene are also showing vast
improvement. They expect a hard
tussle with the fast Whitman team.
If plans now on foot go through,
Canadian baseball fans will witness
baseball rated as class B instead of
Class C, according to news imparted
by Nick Williams, former Portland
player and manager of the Colts, who
is part owner of the Moose Jaw club
of the Western league, Canada. The
Canadian circuit officials have ap
plied to the national commission for
class B rating next season, which
would put them on a par with the
old Northwestern league. Williams
is certain that the application will re
ceive a favorable reception and looks
for a great season this year.
Six live clubs compose the - league,
namely, Regina. Moose Jaw, Winni
peg, Calgary, Edmonton and Saska
toon. Last year the circuit did a
comeback and went over big. The
fans are primed for baseball and are
supporting their teams in every way.
Many of the Pacific Coast league
clubs are rumored to have made
dickers with various Canadian league
managers to use their clubs as farms.
The cream of all the semi-pro ball
players and bushers In Portland are
signed with the Canadian clubs, as
Well as many bushers In California.
Joe Devine, who will be at the head
of the Calgary outfit, is now in Cal
ifornia signing players. Bill Speas
will manage the Regina aggregation
and has lined up a lot of promising
looking talent. Williams will pilot
the Moose Jaw team.
Nick has signed Bob Marshall to do
the bulk of the backstopping for the
Moose Jaw team this season. Bob
has been playing with the Standifer
shipyard nine for the past two sea
Eons, but feels ready for another fling
at organized baseball. Nearly all of
the members of the Standifer club are
planning on hooking up with Canadian
combinations.
Little has been heard of late of the
newly proposed Northwest league
with Seattle, Vancouver, Victoria,
Great Falls, Spokane and several
other northern cities in the lineup.
John S. Barnes of Seattle, who man
aged the Aberdeen club years ago,
and Bob Brown of Vancouver, B. C,
are at the head of the proposition.
Between the northwest circuit, the
Western Canadian league and the
Southern Idaho association, Portland
sand lots will be pretty well stripped.
There is little outlook for any real
fast independent ball or a city league
here next season with all of the small
minor leagues coming back with a
bang.

Zinn Beck, who played third base
for Vernon part of last season, has
entered his promised land.
The blond infielder has been turned
over to Columbia in the South Atlantic
league and will manage that team
next season.
Only five games a week are played
In that circuit. Arithmetic shows
that leaves two days for the ambi
tious athlete. Beck owns a cotton
ranch near Columbia and he will de
vote two days to making two balls
of cotton grow where only one grew
before.
Piercy was slated to pitch for the
Bengaleers next season.
One of the clubs holding up Piercy
is the Philadelphia Nationals. Gavvy
Cravath likes the blonde twirlcr, but
Higgins does not want to send him
to the Phillies.
If Piercy .went to the Phils he
might be used to trade for Bill Per
tica and do his 1920 pitching for the
Los Angeles club.
Upon the outcome of the waivers
which have been asked for on Piercy
depends whether he will be an Angel
or a Tiger next season

Clash at Lincoln Will Be Inter
Sectional Classic, According
to Coach Bohler.
WASHINGTON STATE COLLEGE.
Pullman, Jan. 15. (Special.) That
the 1920 gridiron battle between
the State College Cougars and the
University of Nebraska to be played
in Lincoln on Thanksgiving day will
be an lntersectional classic was the
statement made by Athletic Director
Bohler. Not only will the crimson and
gray eleven be on the schedule of the
Cornhuskers as a distant rival but
the middle westerners will take on
Notre Dame on October 16 for the
opening clash of the season in addi
tion to Rutgers on November 2, Michi
gan Aggies on November 20 and Penn
State Just before the Washington
state game.
'The game with Nebraska next
fall." said "Doc" Bohler today, "will
be a true criterion of the real strength
of representative teams throughout
the country next season. Nebraska,
playing several of the leading col
lege teams of the country, will be
our big game next season and will, in
my opinion, be a real test of the
game as played in all three sections
of the country, namely tbe Pacific
ast. the middle west and the east.
Bohler pointed out that heretofore
there have been no games of an ln
tersectional nature which pitted teams
of real merit from the middle west
against western teams and in some
instances, eastern teams regarded by
scribes and critics as inferior were
sent to Pasadena. He substantiates
his statement by predicting that the
Harvard team, which this season de
feated an Oregon team not up to the
standard of Oregon teams of former
years, or really representative of the
Pacific coast conference quality of
football, was declared by eastern ex
perts not to be the strongest in that
section.
Bohler stated that the report re
cently published in coast papers that
the state college was dickering with
Northwestern university for an addi
tional football game next autumn was
untrue.
Cliff Lee, former Portland catcher.
who was sold to Pittsburg by Judge
McCredie, is spending the winter in
Denver. Cliff manages to keep hi
muscles in shape Dy playing in an
indoor league, which Is going over
big. Among the other major leaguers
playing with Lee are Buzz Murphy,
the Washington outfielder and Johnny
iting of the Chicago White Sox. Bert
Niehoff is also among those present.
When stocks tumble in Wall street
the whole country sits up and takes
notice.
When the major leaguers get fuss

("Ted") McGrew, umpire of the Vir

for the coming season in the Pacific
Coast league, W. H. McCarthy, presi
dent of the Coast league, announced

Bill H a y w a r d , famous Oregon
rainer, was a Portland visitor yes
terday but was noncommittal about
is plans for the future. Although
the student body at Oregon voted to
give Hayward a rise in salary mak
ing his yearly stipend $4000 it Is still
doubtful whether this will be enough
money to keep BUI at Eugene. Bill
stated, however, that he had until
Monday to make up his mind and
would be ready to give his answer at
that time.
The salary offered by the Oregon
tudents would be considered a fair
one by most people, but it is not near
as much as has been offered to
Bill. Although Hayward himself
would not state bow much the of
fer was or from where the offer
came, it was known by a few very
close friends of Hayward that if he
decides to stay with Oregon it will
be at a sacrifice financially.
Every student of Oregon as well
as the Oregon Alumni have the great
est respect for the ability of Hay
ward and he is receiving letters daily
from ex-Oregon students urging him
stay with the "Old School." Hay
ward was greatly affected by the
demonstration of spirit shown by the
students at the rally held in Eugene
last week and stated yesterday that
he did not realize how much he was
appreciated by the Oregon students
and that the Oregon spirit would be
hard to leave.
It is just a case of a better business
proposition against sentiment, as Bill
is getting to a point in life where
he must look out for the future, as
in the case of every athlete there is
time when you can not deliver the
goods and when this time comes the
record of former days is forgotten
Hayward has been approached nearly
every year by some other Institution
with a better salary offer but in
every case has let his love for Ore
gon predominate over his business
judgment, but this offer was so at
tractive that he could hardly afford
to turn it down. If Hayward decides
to stay with Oregon the identity of
the institution making the present
offer will not be given out, accord
ing to agreement made with Bill
when he was approached in regard
to the change. It is safe to say,
however, that the college making the
offer is not located in the northwest
or on the Pacific coast.
Captain Everett Brandenburg of
the Oregon team who was injured in
the New Year's game and was left in
Los Angeles to recuperate has been
reported as having been approached
by several motion picture companies
in regard to a western college drama
in which he would take the part of
the football hero. "Brandy" should
be a star at this game and it would
no doubt make a great hit as he
would be billed as the captain of the
famous Oregon team that battled the
great Harvard eleven to a standstill
on New Year s day.
Word has been received from Eu
gene that Arthur Tuck, famous Ore
gon track star who it was reported
had left Oregon, arrived In Eugene
yesterday from his home. He did not
know anything about any change in
his school and would not say that he
had contemplated any.
HILL TOSSERS WORKLXG HARD

Hill played the Vancouver high

whelming odds. The local team did
not get started until the second half
and marked up only three points in

er of Draft or Slacker," Asserts
Attorney J. S. Hogan.
SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 13. Jack
Dempsey, heavyweight champion of
the world, "is in no sense a 'slacker'
qr 'draft dodger," according to a
statement made to the San Francisco
Call today by John S. Hogan, San
Francisco attorney, who headed the
exemption board here which, handled
Dempsey's case. Hogan's statement
was sought in relation to charges
made by certain posts of the Ameri
can Legion that Dempsey sought work
in the shipyards rather than fight in
the trenches abroad.
"If the government as represented
by me as chairman of the local ex
emption board did not see fit to call
upon him for military duty his posi
tion in the matter cannot be ques
tioned." Hogan said.
Hogan said he had investigated
Dempsey's claims fully and after
establishing the truth of his claim
that he had dependents, placed him
in class 4A.
"I have not been convinced that
Dempsey s classification was wrong
or that his claim for exemption was
to be disregarded ' any more than the
thousands of others that have come
under my jurisdiction as an exemp
tion board chairman," Hogan said.
Dempsey's status as a married man
and the fact that he was supporting
his parents and an invalid brother
and sister and in addition was making
payments on a ranch for his parents,
were the fighter's exemption claims,
Hogan said.
INDIANAPOLIS. Jan. 15. Decision

Franklin D'OIier, national commander.
This announcement was made today

Jack Kearns. manager of the pugi

tional commander of the American
Legion in behalf of Dempsey, asking
that an opportunity be given him to
answer charges of various posts of
the soldier and sailor organization
that he was a "slacker" and draft

Elks Defeat
Tbs.scrs.
One of the heaviest basketball
ecores of the reason was rolled up
by the Multnomah Guard first team
when it defeated the Silent Five squad
on the Washington high floor on
Wednesday night, 80 to 4. The defense
of the guardsmen could not be pene
trated by the Silent Five forwards.
The losers annexed one basket in
each half, the first when the ball was
passed to them by a guardsman who
mistook one of their players lor one
of his team mates, a similarity in
colors of the two teams emits being
responsible. The second game as
result of some clever work on the part
of Thayer and Fowler of the Silent
Five team.
Coach P. W. Lee of the guard team
used eight men during the fray. uo
stitutlns: Wrls:ht and Lewis at for
ward in place of Goode and Fearnley
and Hill at guard in Cole's position
in the last half. Following the game
the first and second-string teams of
the Multnomah Euard held a stiff
workout, the last that will be held
before the Multnomah Guard-Dallas
game on the Y. M. C. A. floor Satur
