vent to bis disapproval by some such
leather-lunged bit of badinage as:
"Take "em off. Where'd they learn

Yet that is what you hear at pearly
every boxing show.
What would be termed disorderly
conduct at any other amusement
place apparently is considered good
form at a boxing entertainment.
It is the inherent privilege of
every fan to applaud his favorite and
many seem to think the price of their
admission includes the right to jeer

"If the Judge is able to pacify our
prima donnas and the boys show up
at spring camp in time to get in shape
we will have a good club." said the
Portland manager yesterday. "Contra
ry to opinions I have heard expressed
by many, the Portland pitching staff
is as formidable as almost any staff
in the league.
"We lost Oldham, who was a star,
but I figure Cunningham of Detroit
to replace him. Jones is a good pitch
er; so is Poison, secured from Detroit,
and the same is true of Kallio and
Sutherland. Kallio has been with De
troit for two or three years, but he
grew up in Portland as a semi-pro.
and some folk can't get it out of their
minds that he is no longer a semi
pro pitcher. He has had experience
and should be a winning pitcher if he
isn't worked too often.
"Baker behind the bat is as strong
as any backstop in the league.
"Blue is a first-class inltial-sacker.
Ellison of Detroit hit around the .300
mark in the American association be
fore he went to Detroit and ought to
be one of the most valuable players
in the league. This deal is not yet
completed, but I expect to get him or
a man just as good. Wisterzll at third
will fill the bill. Kingdon is a great
fielding shortstop. He may hit and
he may not. If our pitchers hold up
we may not need a heavy hitting
shortstop."
Manager McCredle is figuring on
Maisel. Walker and Schaller in the
gardens.
"It is nearly Impossible to secure
players from the majors now unless
you have somebody to trade them.
Vernon won the pennant last year
because the Tigers had a man that
New York wanted. It Is particularly
difficult to get good men at this stage
of the year, but if I need reinforce
ments after the major training season
has gotten under swing things will
not be so tight. As soon as the ma
jors have had an opportunity to size
up their men they will be willing to
talk business.
"We don't want a losing ball club
here, because it means money to have
a wlner. and I Intend to have a club
that will be in the running all the
time. My club as it finished last fall
was a first-class outfit. What put us
in bad last year was the disastrous
start We won only two games on the
first trip."
Barring an lnfielder and an out
fielder, the San Francisco club is
ready for spring training. The Seal
lineup reads like this:
Catchers Sam Agnew, Earl Bald'

Pitchers Jim Scott, Tom Seaton
Johnny Couch, Casey Smith, Bob
Steele, Jim Jordan, Lefty Cole, Her

Sam Agnew is an old veteran catch
er who has been up In the big league
for years. Jordan was bought from
Washington, and Bob Steele, left
hander, from Indianapolis. Manager
Graham is out after another pitcher.
SeatAe's troubles with its crop of
Rufus Wallingford ballplayers is al
most at an end. All the Seattle "hold
out" players are signed with one ex
ception Harry Wolter. Seattle claims
to have an option on Schutz of St.

he will not fool long with Wolter.
Spencer is not signed, but Kleppef
says he is not a holdout.

or four of these "birds" at every box
ing show and their presence brings
only resentment from the fair-minded
fans.
The English, perhaps, carry their
ringside manners to the extreme, but,
as between the parlor manners of the
English boxing show and the barn
yard etiquette of some of the box
ing shows I have witnessed in this
country during the past 10 years, the
English nave it all over us.
If boxing is to become popularized
as a sport for the better people the
promoters will have to see to it that
the foul-mouthed ringside hecklers
are given the gate. This practice
would not be tolerated in any other
place of amusement. There would be
a rush of ushers and special police
men and the obnoxious Individual
would soon find himself in need of
a croix de courtplaster.

Mike Collins is threatening to give
up the promotion of boxing matches
in Minneapolis. He has to give out
nearly 600 passes to every show, and
at the present high cost of boxers
he doesn't figure to break even more
than half the time. There Is some
advantage in having a law like the
Oregon boxing law. Here the passes
are limited to about 2 per cent of
the house.
The recent Welling vs. Mitchell en
counter in Minneapolis yielded only
$5500.
Dempsey's friends may glean some
satisfaction from the knowledge that
nearly every champion "gets the
grill" sometime or sooner.
Admiral Dewey was a great hero un
til he gave his wife the house that was
given him by the admiring public.
Look at Admiral Sims. About all that
is left for him in the navy is the
mascotship of the Annapolis football
team. Hobson got his bumps.
Jim Jeffries drew a bouquet of
Kilkenny rosebuds for his "lack of
patriotism" in not coming out of re
tirement to fight Bill Squires. And
then the whole world sat down on
its haunches and laughed at the pre
posterous idea when Burns flattened
the Australian with one punch. ,
Jack Johnson was a great boxer
and a real champion, but his popular

Babe Ruth ought to establish still
another home run record next year.
He belted 29 home runs over the
American league fences last season
for the present record, and did it on a
140-game schedule. In 1920 the Amer
ican league will play 154 games, and
there will not be the deliberate pass
ing of the batsman in future owing to
the new baseball rules. Ruth was
walked to first base 100 times last
year, and probably 90 of them were
Intentional acts on the part of the
pitchers.
Of course, sport Is a kaleidoscopic
succession of upsets and convulsions,
but the prospects would seem to favor
another new home-run record ere the
ides of November.
The spitball pitcher is the hard luck
guy of sport.
At first they made tne country ary,
and he felt mighty blue.
But now they've taken pitching up,
and made it arid, too."
Commercial, Fraternal and City
Leagues Will Be Organized.
Latter to Include Shipyards. .
Independent baseball in and around
Portland will see the biggest year in
history, according to Jack Routledge,
who will handle the independent
booking department at A. G. Spalding
Bros. Ever since baseball has been
a "pup" Spaldings have annually con
ducted a booking department to facil
tate the bringing of the many teams
together In a systematic manner.
Those in charge of the booking de
partment also help in the organiza
tion of leagues and get teams under
way.
Last season a Commercial league
was organized and went through a
very successful season.
The city of Portland Is large enough
to support several Independent leagues
and it is the desire of Routledge to
get several leagues started. He has
plans of organizing a fraternal league
which will be composed of lodge teams
exclusively.
The organization of a commercial
league with teams from the various
commercial and business houses and
a city league, which would consist
of four or six of the best teams ob
tainable, will also be undertaken.
It is not likely there will be enough
teams to have a Bhipyard circuit this
coming season, so the shipyard play
ers will be seen in the proposed city
league.
With old Sol staying out frequently
for the duration of- the day it is get
ting high time for the "amateurs
and "bushers" to get under way.
and an early meeting of managers
will be called.
A Willamette valley league or six
teams is almost an assured circuit.
Salem, McMinnville. Woodburn, Eu
gene. Corvallis and one other city
will support teams. Whether Port
land will be represented has not
been decided.
The Salem team will be managed
by "Biddy" Bishop, who has a number
of well-known oan tossers iinea up.

Coach Kenneth Irle's Lincoln high
school basketball team piled up a
u-io-i6 score against the James
John quintet in the opening basket
ball game of the week yesterday aft
ernoon on the Y. M. C A. floor. The
big score which the Railsplitters
marked up against the double-J five
was due mainly to the efforts of Can-
tain Irve Cole and Bill Beck of the
Lincoln team, who were running wild
irom guard positions. Captain Cole,
who held down a forward nosition in
the first half, was switched to guard
during the second period, where he
was able to net six field baskets.
Beck, who played guard in the first
period, also marked up six field bas
kets while playing on the defense.
The Lincoln boys took the lead
right after the first tipoff, when
Pierce mad-e a nice shot From
then on the Railsplitters steadily in
creased their lead and the first half
ended 24 to 10.
In the second period the Lincoln
boys marked up 16 points while they
held the Saints to three field baskets.
At times during the contest the
double-J tossers displayed flashes of
speed which made the going rough
for the cardinal five, but these rallies
were short lived.
For the losers, Bauer, Hiatt and
Girt played a good game, while Brame
also showed up well during the sec
ond half. Cole, Wright and Beck
formed the scoring combination of
the Lincoln team, while Mische played
a steady defensive game. The lineup:
Lincoln (40). James John (16).

Long Passing Game Fails to Give
Victory Morton High Man
With 18 Points.
The Multnomah Amateur Athletic
club basketball team added another
game to its long string of victories
last night by defeating the University
of Idaho tossers on the Winged M
floor by a score of 30 to 29. The
game was fast and closely contested
throughout. The Winged M hoopers
took the lead at the start of the
game and were not headed once dur
ing the rest of the contest.
The score at the end of the first
half stood 11 to 8 and the clubmen
increased their lead in the first part
of the second half when the score
stood 30 to 22. The Gem Staters,
who had been attempting long shots
during the first part of the game
without a,ny degree of success, now
dropped three through the hoop In
rapid succession. A converted foul
by Hunter gave the Idaho team an
other point and made the count 30
to 29. The visitors tried hard for
another basket but the whistle blew
before they had another chance to
score.
The Gem Staters used a system of
long passes and long shots at the bas
ket while the clubmen worked the
ball down the floor giving their for
wards easy shots at the hoop.
Hunter was high-point man for the
losers, while Bob Morton marked up
18 points for the Winged M team.
W. H. Harglss, coach of the Oregon
Aggies basketball team, refereed the
game and his officiating was the best
seen here this season.
In a preliminary game the Mult

mediates defeated the Y. M. C. A.

DARCY TALKS ABOUT WIGGINS
Baker, outdoor athletics and track;
Indianapolis Middleweight Believed
No Match for Battling Ortega
Jimmy Darcy, the Portland middle
weight, is breaking into print regu
larly now in San Francisco. He had
the following remarks to make when
questioned by a boxing critic in the
Seal Rocks city the other day after he
received a trimming from " Chuck
Wiggins, the Indianapolis middle
weight:
"Jimmy Darcy tells me that Chuck
Wiggins 'made a fortunate decision
when he accepted a match with Bat
tling Levinsky in the east and passed
up Battling Ortega.
"Ortega can whip Wiggins in any
kind of fight," says Darcy. "Wiggins
shows up well only when he can stand
away and fight. When a fellow forces
him he becomes rattled.
'I found this out in the last round
But then it was too late. He had out-
boxed me and was entitled to the de-cislon.
'Ortega would be on top of him all
the time and would give Wiggins no
chance to use his cleverness.
"Boy McCormick would also whip
Wiggins. The Boy would be too ag
gressive and tough for him.
"Cleverness does not bother Ortega
very much. He just brushes aside the
punches and gets past them."
Darcy is not saying that he could
whip Wiggins in another fight.
"But I know Ortega would whip
him." he says. "Wiggins doesn't hit
hard enough to slow Ortega."
THE EVOLUTION OF A MAN'S FEET AFTER A VISIT TO THE ATJTO SHOW.
I -W
(5)
BY RICHARD R. SHARP.
The four participants in the double
main event at the Milwaukie arena
tonight will have something more to
fight for besides the usual referee
decision. A victory tonight will mean
a whole lot to any one of the four
men, as the winner in each of the
two ten-round topline mills featuring
Harry Schuman vs. Jimmy Marshall
and Tommy Barone vs. Earl Baird
have been promised a bout not later
than next month against one of the
best men at their weight in the
country.
Charley White or some other of the
country's leading lightweight battlers
will be engaged to tangle with the
victor in the Schuman-Marshall scrap,
while Joey Fox, recognised feather
weight champion of England, will
likely be signed to meet the winner
of the Barone-Balrd set-to.
Of course the reward will come
only if the winner makes a worthy
showing and figures on his ringwork
to be able to cope with anything that
might be sent in against him in the
line of a formidable opponent.
Both Boys Brilliant.
Both Schuman and Marshall claim
that they can hold their own with
anything at their weight outside of
Benny Leonard and either would
tackle the champion if offered the
opportunity. Schuman Is a fast-mix
ing sensational style of fighter, while
all the "dope that Is available on
Marshall points to the fact that he
is an ever-on-the-go boxer with bet
ter than the average boxing ability
and a good punch.- His record Is
studded with knockout victories and
all of them have been recorded inside
of four rounds.
Tommy Barone, the husky little St.
Paul ringman, is one that will bear
watching tonight. Barone carries sn
assortment of punches and styles that
have seldom been introduced by a
boxer who has Invaded the northwest
and Baird will serve to give him the
acid test, when they clash in their
ten-round go.
Motion Is Middle Name.
Barone hits from every Imaginable
angle and keep? boring in with a
rip-tearing attack, shooting In upper-
cuts and hooks of every description.
Baird has never backed up to a
fighter at his weight yet unless he
was fighting while he was movtna.
back and is a regular perpetual mo
tion fighting atom.
Scotty" Williams, the colored wel
terweight from Chicago, whom Jack
Grant thought was good enough to
meet Battling Ortega and signed him
up after watching him work out with
"Boy" McCormick, will make his sec
ond start in this neck of the woods
against Marty Foley, a boy with a
regular "k. o " record from Tacoma.
Williams came to Portland abou
three months agj with the informa
tion That he had acted as a sparring
partner for Jack Dempsey and had
fought many of the best men in thtj
country. Matchmaker Frank Kendall
signed him to meet Billy Wright of
Seattle and about the same time Jack
Grant signed him to meet Battling
Ortega in Portlprd at a later date,
figuring that on his showing in the
gymnasium Williams would make
short work of the clever Wright
Scotty worked out dally with the
rugged McCormick and the night of
his bout found himself dead on his
feet, losing the decision to Wright.
Williams, however, showed flashes or
form that stamped him as a mighty
good boxer and this time he says that
it will be a different story.
It will be Foley's first start in
Oregon but he has been meeting them
all up north the past four years and
for a time looked like a coming
champion. Williams and Foley will
go six rounds or less.
Johnny Fontana. the United States
army featherweight champion, and
Weldon Wing will meet in the other
six-round special event, which prom
ises to be a regular "he" battle from
start to finish. Fontana Is not an
old boxer in years, but is a veteran
in experience. He has been fighting
for quite a stretch and has met some
f the toughest Bantamweights ana
featherweights in the game.
Wing has been making better
showings with each start and can be
depended upon to give any of the
boys at his weight a real battle
Wing has never been able to get
started in bis home town. In Los
Angeles. San Francisco or Seattle
Weldon steps like a champion and Is
good for a main go any day. When
he gets back to Portland his work
goes for nought.
However, Wing has been traveling
at a fast clip of late and seems about
due to jump into the top rank again.
Fontana is a man that he should be
able to make a showing against.
George Burns and Frankie Webb
will mix four rounds m the curtain-
raiser, with the card getting under
way not later than 8:30 o clock. Am
ple car service will be available fot
the fans. "Denver Ed" Martin wit
