THE HORNING OREGOXIAX, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1920
1020 SEASON LOOMS
AS BRIGHTEST EVER
Track Plans of Northwest
Colleges Line Up Big.
NEW CLASSICS ARE BILLED
Oregon .Aggies After Far Western
Indoor Meet Vahington Backs
Mammoth Relay.
If the presrnt plans of several
northwest colleges unci universities
for track and field events this year
go through the year 191' 0 should see
the passiug of the greatest athletic
season fn history as far as track Is
concerned.
Last season was a banner one in
this department of outdoor sports and
fnany successful meets were staged
all along the Pacific slope. In 1919 a
special Pacific coast open champion
ship meet was staged in Tacoma, the
Pacific coast conference meet was
held in Seattle and the Pacific North
west association carnival in Portland
under the auspices of the Multnomah
Amateur Athletic club.
This year the inter-collegiate
championships will fro to California.
having been awarded to Stanford
iniversity, but this will not cause a
ack of competition in the northwest.
Aesiea After Bis Mret.
Oregon Agricultural college has
made a formal application, with the
Amateur Athletic union for the far
western indoor championships, which
if granted would mean one of the
biggest events of the season in track
circles. The Beavers have every
facility for staging such a meet and
are ready to so the limit to put it
over in big style. If the event is
held it will likely hold forth April
3 in the big Aggie armory.
A mammoth relay meet similar to
that held annually at the University
of Pennsylvania is being: planned by
Coach "Heck" Edmundson of the Uni
versity of Washington. An annual
classic, in which representatives from
all Pacific coast and Rock,y mountain
colleges would compete for titles in
track and field events, is the aim of
those interested in the project.
Seattle Field Ckmn Is ''Dope.
- An effort to interest the various
members of the Pacific coast and
northwest conference is now under;
way. According- to the dope from
Seattle favorable returns are being
received and it is quite probable
that the Blue and Gold athletic field
will be the site this spring for the
gathering of athletes from all parts
of the west. The tentative date for
this tournament has been set for
April 24. At the present time only
the members of the two coast con
Terences have been approached re
garding the meet, but should plans be
accepted it is the intention to invite
all western institutions to enter.
The carnival would call for five
events 100-yard relay with a race
of 100 yards to the man. half-mile
relay with stretches of 220 yards and
the one mile, two mile and four-mile
relays. This programme is merely
tentative, however, and it is probable
that field events and even a few
others, might be included in the meet.
Examples of such meets are found
both at Drake university and at the
University of Pennsylvania. Con
testants are invited from all parts of
the country.
Other Meets Xo Supplanted.
The proposed meet at the Univer
sity of Washington would tend in no
way to interfere with the track meets
of the Pacific coast and northwest
conferences. It would merely allow
competition between these two or
conizations and outside institutions.
The matter of finances would probab
ly include the division of the grate
receipts on a basis of mileage
traveled. The matter was discussed
for a short time at the meeting of
the Pacific coast conference in De
cember in Seattle, but more pressing
business delayed definite action.
The Pacific Northwest association
meet will again be held in Portland
by the Multnomah Amateur Athletic
club. The winged-M institution put
last year's gathering over in such
good style that the event was re
warded for 1920 at the annual meet
ing of the Pacific Northwest associa
tion here several months ago.
Multnomah Field Draws Three.
At least three dual meets and per
haps an interscholastic state and
city championship meet will also be
staged on Multnomah field this com
ing season on the cinder path. With
prospects of a great team looming at
Multnomah club in all probability the
University of Oregon, Oregon Agri
cultural college. University and Wash
ington State college teams will be
invited here at some time during the
season for dual meets.
The annual open and academic meet
held by Columbia university in its
coliseum will open the. season here.
Oeorge "Ad" Dewey, director of ath
letics at Columbia university, will
direct the staging of the meet this
year, but as yet has not decided on a
date outside on the fact that it will
be held in April.
Both Oregon and Oregon Agricul
tural college boast of record track
turnouts and the return of nearly all
of the veterans of last year with soma
likely looking new stars in the ranka
MAJOR AND MINOR LEAGUES
CONFER ON DRAFT SITUATION
Hallucination of First Baseman Blue Cited as Case in Point Showing
. Value of Old System.
BY ROSCOB FAWCETT.
CAL EW1NG, owner of the Oaks,
Is now in the east as a delegate
for the minor leagues at a con
ference with the majors on the draft
situation. Cal is one of those who
thought that the abolition of the draft
was not a beneficent scheme for the
minors, and. after one year's trial,
great many more minor leaguers have
come to the same conclusion.
Just at the present time Portland
is having difficulty with First Base
man Blue, who harbors the hallucina
tion that some big league club offered
the McCredies J15.000 or $20,000 for
him and they wouldn't take it He is
very peeved about it thinks the
Macks have denied him his opportu
nity to make good in the majors and
11 that and in consequence doesn t
seem anxious to sign with 1'ortlanu
and there is ill-feeling all around.
Under the old draft system Blue
probably would have been drafted by
some major league club, t in any event
lie would not have had any grounds
for a grievance. On the other hand.
under the old ' scheme, the minors
didn't find it so tough trying to worm
good ballplayers out of the majors.
Viewed from the several angles it is
a good bet that the draft will be re
stored in some form or another.
Senator Knute Nelson of Minnesota
suggests that the paper shortage
might be relieved by abolishing the
sporting pages. Another way would
be to put leather in the soles of the
shoes for which ycu pay about $20
per pair to say l-othing of abolish
ing the Congressional Record. There
is enough wMite japef wasted in the
Record to make cellars for the entire
boi.shivik army and how many read
its contents? I'll guarantee that if
Babe Ruth's performances could be
read into the Record the circulation
of that periodical would arise like a
spring dandelion.
The new Jack Dempsey movie serial
ill be ready for public consumption
in about one week under the Inspir
ing title: "Daredevil Jack." Jack
started his movie career in December,
and. while the fight star didn't take
kindly to the paint smears at first
it is said in Los Angeles that he
walks up to the camera now with the I
sangfroid of a Douglas Bareshanksi
and is proving quite the "daredevil"
with the queens and papooses of the
movie world- Dempsey ought to have
with the Hindenburg axiom in mind
that a good offense doesn't require
a stiff defense. Such men as Joe
Jeannette, Marvin Hart, Al Kaufman,
Stanley Ketchel and Bill Lang hung
on with' Johnson for from six to 15
rounds, and even poor old Vic Mc
Laughlin stuck with the black smoke
for six -rounds in Vancouver, B. C,
in 1909. How long do you suppose
that list would have stayed with
Dempsey? Not long.
However, as we remarked before,
it is entirely a matter of opinion as
to whether Dempsey would have been
able to rock Lil' Artha to dreamland.
Personally, we believe that Johnson
could have walloped Hercules, and
it is our opinion that Eric the Red
had it all over Dempsey as a ship
builder. e
The city dads at Ontario. Cal.. may
have to change an ordinance or two
before the Portland Beavers begin
their spring baseball training grind
in that fair city March 10. It seems
that Ontario has an ordinance against
the dpiving of spike-shod tractors
over the paved1 streets, andi one ex
cited fan has called attention to the
fact that the ballplayers wear spikes
on their shoes and that tne orainance
may interfere with their travel be
tween the park and the hotel.
Years ago, when we were covering
baseball games, ballplayers used to
wear slippers between the park an
the hotel. Those who didn't use
slippers owned automobiles. Thi
year, with shoes twenty smacks per
pair, the ballplayers probably will
play in their stocking feet, in which
case Ontario will not have to worry.
Babe Ruth," the world's greatest
slugger, celebrates his 26th birthday
today. Six years has made a great
difference in Ruth's career. In 1914
he was in the reformatory at Hal
timore, and it was there he began
his remarkable baseball career.

Now that Willie Meehan has been

to lay off fighting until he meets
Jack Dempsey. No matter how many
times Meehan gets licked somebody
is sure to bob up a little later with
the Dempsey fight Chatter. It is to

BOISE, Idaho, Feb. 9. (Special.)
Betting at athletic contests in this
state will not be permitted if it is
within the power of the state constab
ulary to prevent it. That is what
Secretary of State Jones, state law
enforcement commissioner, told Gov
rnor uavis ana nis advisers at a
recent meeting. A bureau of ath
letics has been created as a 'unit of
the state law enforcement depart
ment.
"The attention of the athletic com
mission having been called to the
practice in different parts of the
state of betting on athletic matches,
an aggressive policy has been estab
lished to defeat such practices," said
Commissioner Jones. "The bureau of
constabulary and the sheriffs of the
various counties have been advised
regarding the situation. The bureau
of athletics earnestly desires to keep
boxing and wrestling upon the high
est possible plane- and is determined
to prevent gambling and prevent
bouts not strictly on the square."
The new bureau will enforce the
anti-gambling laws, prosecute pro
moters of "fixed" matches and pre
vent disorderly exhibitions.

BY RICHARD R. SHARP.
Tommy Gibbons, leading claimant
of the light-heavyweight champion
ship of the world, completed trainin
yesterday afternoon for his ten
round battle against Boy McCormick,
light-heavyweight champion of Eng
land, in the main event of tomorrow
night's card at the Milwaukie arena
The clevar St. Paul boxer indulged
in about eight rounds of gymnasium
work and rounded out the afternoon
by working three slashing round
with Marty Cutler. Gibbons gave
Cutler a terrific battering through
out the three cantos, using every
punch recorded in the books. Cutler
is no slouch and brought some stiff
punches into play but they did not
tend to slow Gibbons up in the least.
Boy McCormick also wound up his
workouts with a stiff session in the
gymnasium. McCormick went through
about the same stunts as Gibbons, ex
cepting that he spent most of the
time outside of boxing in punching
the bag. At the conclusion of the
gymnastic work the English title
holder took on Scotty Williams, the
colored welterweight, for four rounds
and then called it quits until the
gong rings -for the battle to start to
morrow night.
Each man reports himself in top
condition and is equally confident of
victory.
George Eagles, the shifty San Fran-
incisco mixer, will take on Weldon
Wing in place of Lackey Morrow in
one of the special six-round mills.
Eagles 'has a good record and al
though he is taking the bout on only
day's notice will be out to make a
showing.
Stanley Willis will meet Harry
Casey in the , semi-windup of eight
rounds, Niel Zimmerman will box
Jack Barry six rounds while Earl
Zimmerman will meet Leo Bell over
the four-round route.
Billy Mascott and Joe Gorman may
both start in an Oakland ring tomor
row night. Mascott is down to meet
either Lee Johnson or Georgie Lee
while Gorman may meet Jimmy Ford,
Mascott is a cinch to start against
either Johnson or Lee, but the Gor
man-Ford match is up in the air.
Bobby Evans, who is looking after
Gorman and Mascott. has been trying
hard to land a match for the latter
with Bud Ridley, Fred Winsor's "lit
tle Dempsey," but so far has not had
any luck whatever. As it now stands
Ridley and Mascott will fight it out
for the bantamweight championship
of the coast in Oakland in about two
weeks.

One year ago there was a mad
scramble in the Pacific Coast league
for the services of Tubby Spencer,
&ait Lake catcher. Tub hit a mere
Job last season and yet he seems to
he a drug on the market. A day or
two ago an announcement came over
the wires that Salt Lake had pur
chased Catcher Joe Jenkins from the
Chicago White Sox. This makes it
certain that Spencer will not be with
the Bees this coming season.
Seattle and Vernon seem to be the
two cities upon which the scribes and
Pharisees are wishing the rotund Ed-
uward.
Seattle Is after Spencer because
President Klepper admits having tele
graphed an offer to Salt Lake. Little
Wares and Klepper are determined
to assemble a gang of heavy artil
lerists on the Seattle squad and
Spencer would help in that determina
tion, with Wolter. Kopp, Murphy,
Kenworthy and a few others, includ.
ng Bates, on the payroll.
If wares is able to line up a good
pitching staff to keen the other fel
low from getting too many runs his
club ought to be dangerous. '
Spencer Is on the market only be
cause he does not want to play in
Salt Lake. Perhaps the "high multi
tude" as Ping Bodie used to call it
interferes with his breathing. Or
Apollinaris may be too much per Jug.
The best guess is that Tubby had his
eyes on the managerial job and didn t
like the general ourlook when Ernie
