TENNIS . folk are . wondering
whetaer this country will be
able to develop a team capable
of taking the measure of Brooks and
Patterson, the Australian wizards of
the tracquet. Johnston and Griffin
couldn't do it last year, and Johnston
and McLoughlln failed just as dis
mally. The writer saw this arrange
ment in action and the Antipodean
racquet wlelders couldn't be touched.
Johnston and Tilden would make
the best team and it is a likely bet
that these two stars one from the
west and the other from the east
will be found playing side by side next
year in an endeavor to bring back the
cup that Brooks and Wilding took
away.
It may be of interest to the tennis
enthusiasts to know that Champion

" pitchers Roll Waters.
. Two pitchers a southpaw named
Lesher and another slabster named
Morrison were the disturbing factors
in an otherwise serene and soothing
day for the judge. Both are gradu
ates of the Western Canada league.
Lesher lives In a "hick" town in
Nebraska and wants to play with
Omaha. He notified the judge to trade
or sell him to Omaha he wouldn't
play In the Judge's yard. But the
Portland magnate responded to the
effect that Lesher would report here
'or nowhere. Morrison resides in Mis
I' sissippl. although the McCredies first
heard of him aa a pitcher for Moose
Jaw. in the Canadian circuit, and
forked over 500 for him. Morrison
tasued two ultimatums to the judg
one dulling for a substantial salary
. transportation both ways and a bonus
if he on two-thirds of his ball games,
and tie other minus the bonus but
with I clause which would give him

Kract without a single frill and
soon as Morrison hears that the

lie usual-sized caps he may see the

If Walter McCredie takes half the

that the judge has on the roster, the
hat checking privilege will pay a divi

Hats Off. Everybody.
But just a moment here's a story
In a New York newspaper that wins
the hand-painted oilcan. "He then
holed his fourth shot for a three,"
reads the headline. This shot is one
of the most difficult in golf and one
that Rudolph Wilhelm and Dr. Will
ing, and even- Mr. Holbrook, will have
to work on assiduously before they
will be able to play with any degree
or certainty.
Holing the fourth shot for a three
wins the plush-rimmed spectacles

A baseball fan writes in to rebuke
the American league magnates for
prohibiting the sale or purchase of
players in the American league clubs
after July 1 or August 1. "Suppose
New York has a good club but one of
the good men gets injured in August?"
writes Bug. "Why shouldn't the
Yanks' manager be privileged to go
out and buy players to fill the place?"
Regulations Necessary. j
BasebalLshould be a sporting event.
but there Is too much money involved
to keep it a sporting event except by
regulations. There was too mucn
room for iockevine for the big world's
series coin under the old scale of
things It doesn't take much strain
ing of the imagination to conjure up
a pennant race in August where the
bigger purse would be the deciding
factor if some star was needed to
swing' the balance of power.
Anyway, for what are utility players
If not to fill out the ranks in case
of injury?

Nick Williams has a better yarn. In

pitchers, Maxmeyer, sit up all night on

Monday night and the final score was
21 to 10 in favor of the Maroon F five.
The game was rough and personal
fouls were called freely on both teams

Draw With Flashy Caiifornian Is
Awarded as Result of Short
Notice and Game Fight.
SEATTLE, Wash., Feb. 24. (Spe
cial.) Flu, making its last stand In
these parts, reached out and mussed
up the Pool boxing card tonight, ne
cessitating last-minute changes in the
two principal attractions. Billy
Wright, a victim of the disease, spent
the evening at home, and Morris Lux
took his place, while Willie Keeler
withdrew because of illness tn nis
family. Tom Woodhouse was the
martyr who substituted against Wild
Bill Reed, and Tom wishes Keeler had
kept his engagement. Lux. taking
the bout on a few hours' notice, re
ceived a draw with Billy Shade
through the kindness of the judges,
and Bill Reed pushed Woodhouse over
in the second round of the semi
windup event.
There were few In the house who
thought Lux deserved a draw with the
flashy Caiifornian. and yet there were
fewer who were not glad to see the
blonde Kansas City boy get the even
verdict. In no condition to box a
rough opponent like Shade and giving
away six or eight pounds. Lux took a
beating for three rounds an-d then
Morris put his foot on the accelerator
and made such a plucky finish that
the judges called it a draw.
Lux was dead tired when he came
out of his corner forthe fourth frame.
Tired, but game, he changed from the
defensive to the attack, and. lunging
at the visitor with lefts and rights, he
forced Shade to back around for the
first time during the evening. A
minute before the close of the round
it looked as though Morris' game ef
fort to stay was frustrated, as a stiff
right sent him reeling into the ropes.
He leaped to his feet, tore into the
surprised Caiifornian and finished
slugging toe to toe with his rival.
Saturday night the Multnomah
Guard basketball team will meet the
American Legion five of Newberg on
the latter's floor. This will be one of
the hardest games that the local team
has participated in this season. The
Newberg legion tossers hold two vic
tories over the fast Dallas team, and
are considered to be one of the
strongest basketball quintets in the
state.
Wednesday night the Multnomah
Guard league team will play the
South Parkway second teams on the
B'nai B'rith floor.
Manager "Si" Simonsen of the Guard
team has accepted an offer from the
South Parkway first team for a three
game series for the city champion

not yet been set. but they will prob
ably .be run off the latter part of the
month or somewhere around the first
of March.
South Parkway's first team will
meet the Standifer team of Vancouver
tonight on the B'nai B'rith floor, and
Saturday night the local team will
play a return game with the Che

The Parkway team is considerably
stronger right at present than when
it was defeated by the Indians on the
Y. M. C. A. floor recently. Morris

in the Interscholastic league on the
Y. M. C. A. floor. This will be the
third game of the season for the
Quaker crew, the other games sched
uled being postponed on account of
illness among the players. The fol
lowers of the scholastic hoop game
have not had an opportunity to get
much of a'line on the wearers of the
maroon F as both of the games which
they have participated in were
against -weaker teams and proved to
be easy victories for the Quakers.
Franklin has a chance to finish well
on, in the running for the champion
ship providing they can get over the
Columbia five his afternoon. The
prep school tossers were not work
ing well last week and received a
drubbing at the hands of the Jeffer
son hoopers, but If Coach Dewey can
get his charges traveling this after
noon they should be able to give the
Quakers a hard fight. Leon Fabre
will referee the game which will start
at 3 o clock.
Commerce and Hill should furnish
an interesting contest tomorrow af
ternoon. Both teams have not fared
very well in the hoop game this sea
son Commerce having lost every game
played while Hill won its first game
and then dropped four in a row. The
cadets appear to be the favorites
the game tomorrow although the ab
sence of several regular players
the Hill lineup may give the book
keepers a chance to slip one over.
What promises to be one of the best
games of the season and one that
will have a direct bearing on the
championship of the league is the an
nual tilt scheduled for Friday after
noon between Lincoln and Washing
ton. Lincoln has been beaten once
this year while the Washington team
has gone this far with a clean slate.
In order to keep in the running th
Colonials will have to win from the
Rallsplitters.

With the exception of the final bout
between Schuman and Marshall, the
card was satisfying. Marshall made
such a poor showing against the
