WEDNESDAY CARD BRIGHT Poibility Suggested! That World Championship Bout May Be Staged During: Conclave. BT niCII.VRD P.. SIIAKF. i Billy Clibson, manager of Benny Leonard, lightweight champion of the world, is expected to arrive in Port land today to second Joe Benjamin in the hitter's ten-round mill against Freddie Anderson at the Heiligr the ater Wednesday n iilit and also talk over the possibility of Benny Leonard boxing here during the Shriner's con clave in June In a world champlon- Ehip contest. It may be that Gibson will not be Mc to reach Portland before Wediies day but he has telegraphed Match maker Jack Orant that he would be at the ringside in any event. Ieonard is on his way to Los Anee- .- rca to complete work on the seriol pic ' ture in which he is taking a proml i '" nent role and expects to remain in , : the south for several months. Before , rc'turaingr east he will likely take part . f, in several four-round bouts in San I'rancisoo and Oakland, havinir been . offered engagements in both of those -ities. Tommy Simpson is anxious - to send Jimmy Duffy, the Oakland .' Airdale. in against Benny, while the ,. Pan Francisco promoters are willing i to risk anybody's life that looks good. J Decision Boot Problematical. If Leonard fought ten rounds here It would be against a top notcher in ' the fistic game the caliber of Charley ' ; White or Johnny Dundee. Of course, whether Leonard would consent to ... meet a man of their class in a ten "'. round decision match here remains to be seen. It is likely that the cham , .'-"plon's manager would insist on a no t decision cl.vse in any arrangements although either the Portland or Mil ;! waukie boxing commissions could, af r - ford to pay Leonard a "fat stipend" ) to meet a real contender in a ten- ' round decision match during Shrine . , week. ' Jn the meantime the fans will awai 'i the outcome of the ten-round setto .' "Wednesday night at the Heilig be f tween Benjamin, Leonard's stable ,l,mate, and Fredie Anderson, the scin .'mating lightweight of Vancouver. ' Wash. Workouts End Today. Benjamin, who has been training in Milwaukie with Billy Nelson and sev- . eral other mixers, will wind up his workouts this afternoon at the Mil i waukie gymnasium. Anderson has been working out at ,'jthe London club and will also bring - , his conditioning licks to a close this iilternoon ana rest up uiilu me nism ..of the fight. Both men report them 'j selves in the best of shape and ready - ...for the test. rubber without care to. I have always believed this a bad rule. It has always seemed the rub ber wag to pitch from, and when the I pitcner got on the rubber be was in position and ready to pitch, yet every one knows it is impossible to pitch without a balL I think such an act by the pitcher is the rankest kind of a deception and therefore a balk, yet me rules give Ditchers "Such a rierht. Last year President Johnson made a league rule of his own on this Dlav. x was pleased when he sent out a bulletin which gave the umpire the right to declare a balk whenever the pitcher stepped on the rubber with out the ball. President Johnson in reaching such a decision said it was his belief the act of the pitcher in getting on the rubber was a pre Uminary motion to delivering the ball, and hence a Dart of it. which to his way of thinking constituted a de ception and was a balk. So that last year when an American league coacher or player warned the runner or runners to hold their base until the pitcher got on the rubber, he was talking sense. They knew that, for the pitcher to get on that rubber without the ball constituted a balk. However, in the ordinary game, such a shout of warn ing means nothing, since the rules give the pitcher that right. The rules committee can easily remedy this rule so that it will be definite, and cover an games from the amateur to the major league.

For years that has been a :-v word of the ball field. It has been "ihouted by coacher, batter, manager, t-'and bench warmer to the base runner.

BALTIMORE. Feb. 29. More than 500 athletes from colleges, universi ties and athletic associations in the east took part in great indoor meet held jointly by Johns Hopkins uni versity and the Fifth Regiment Ath letic association last night, and more than 4C-U0 persons saw several south Atlantic records shattered. The fastest time ever recorded in this section over an indoor course was established when, in the one-mile South Atlantic championship run. J. Connolly of Georgetown university dashed the distance in 4 minutes 30 seconds. Pennsylvania state came within one-fifth of a second of breaking the world's re'jord in the one-mile and three-quarters medley relay race, run ning the distance in 7:38 4-5. SEAL KOSTEB IS COMPLETED Every time "William K. Rodgers, Sacramento manager, makes 'a swap with Seattle there is an unpleasant aftermath to the affair. First the Senator skipper nanded the Purple Sox Harry Gardner and a few shekels for Southpaw Walter Mails. Gardner I promptly became ill with malaria and was of no use to the northerners. James Brewster, then prexy of the Seattle club, put up a holler and the affair was later ironed out to the satisfaction of both parties. On top of it all Harry Wolter, the slugging outfielder with Sacramento last season and turned over to Se attle, will not report to the Puget sound outfit for the stipened offered. He went to Clyde Ware's warriors in exchange for Pete Compt.ti. When Wolter returned his contract. Bill Klepper, the new president of the Siwashes, said if Wolter did not like the salary offered he (rilepper) would obtain a man in the east to fill his shoes. Wolter would not be bluffed and slipped the parchment In the return mail advising Klepper to go on his merry way. Result, Seattle purchased Manuel Cueto from the Cincinnati Reds. This gives the Rainland pack Cueto, Merlin Kopp and Bill. Cunning ham, but it is thought that Wares and Wolter will come to an understand ing before spring practice opens at Han ford. Harry Wolter declared during the latter stages of the last semester that he intended retiring and would not answer reveille for 1920. Maybe he's holding out for a fabulous sum with the intention of sticking to some other occupation. And maybe not. It's a 10 to 1 shot that when the birdies commence to twitter, the old boy will be out thumping his willow against the horsehide. will also defray part of the traveling expenses, which is a new . stunt in baseball, but introduced for the pur pose of showing their sincerity. "Tub" Spencer is at Rexburg. Idaho, where he will run an insurance agency and manage and catch for an aggregation playing one or two games per week. The former Ver non and Detroit Tiger was recently traded by Salt Lake to Seattle, where he does not care to play ball. CHAMPIONSHIPS AWARDED Scctionql Doubles Go to Cincinnati.

SWIMMING RECORD BROKEN Miss Sybil Bauer Negotiates 100- Yard Back Stroke in 1:22. DETROIT, Mich., Feb. 29. One world's record was shattered last night at the central A. A. U. swim ming championship. Miss Sybil Bauer of the Illinois Ath letic club negotiated the 180-yard back stroke for women in 1:22. Miss Bauer's former record for the 75-foot pool was 1:24 4-5. Pole Rolls Bohemian. NEW YORK, Feb. 29. Stanislaus Zbyszko, Polish heavyweight wrestler, defeated Franz Zollar, Bohemian heavyweight, in two straight falls last night. Secretary Brewster of the Seattle club was In the field for the purchase of Jingling Johnson, the big Phila delphia Athletics pitcher, but Jing re fused to come to the coast. Brewster was expecting the Athletic deceiver to take the place of Paul Musser. who also refused to come to the coast, on account of his inability to throw any thing but the spitball. The Seattle club may bring Red Ames out from the St. Louis Car dinals if they are unable to land a youngster. Branch Rickey has prom ised the Rainiers a pitcher as good or better than Lefty Thomas, who was purchased by St. Louis and traded to Los Angeles ia the Jack Fournier deal. Walter Mails, the pitching ace of last season's Sacramento team, has signed. It is needless to say that Walter got a nice little raise over his last season's salary. Mails did not start with the Senitors last season as he first entered the league with the Seattle club but came to the Senators in a trade with that club for Harry Gardner, who then was the best heaver in the league. Mails won 17 games out of 23 last season, for Bill Rodgers, and. right now he looms as the one big bet of the staff for 1920. There was just one clause in the signing of Mails for 1920 that might interest the fans in the fact the big southpaw has requested that he pitch the opening day of the sea son and the request has been granted. Joe Harris, who is the understudy of "Doc" Johnston at first base for Cleveland, is to hold out. If Joseph persists in his demands, he may find himself waived out of the junior circuit and sent to the minors. This would probably mean that Don Louis Guisto would be recalled from the Oaks. Steve O'Neill, great Indian catcher, is also asking for more dough-ray-me. "Red" Killefer, manager of the Angels, has promised Bill Leard, As toria skipper, that he will turn over to him several players after the spring grind is over. Leard is par ticularly anxious to land a first base man and an outfielder. Astoria citizens will not only guar antee each club a certain sum, but Clash Is Fast and Hard-Fonght Despite Crippled Iilneup of Team From Portland. NEWBERG, Or., Feb. 29. (Special.) In what developed to be the fastest and nardest-fougnt game of basket ball ever witnessed on the. local floor, the local American Legion five won from the Multnomah Guard quintet of Portland last night by the close score of 28 to 27. Elliott, the whirlwind forward for the local five, put his team in the lead at the start of tnl game with two field baskets. Gearniey of the Guard team followed a few minutes later with a basket from the floor. The lead alternated between the two teams from then to the end of tne first half, which ended 15 to 13 in favor of the visitors. Jumping into the lead in the sec ond half the local five held it to the end. The Multnomah Guard team had previously cancelled the contest on account of the illness of several play ers, but was prevailed upon at the last moment to reconsider, with the result that they appeared upon the floor with one substitute player and two or three others not in the best of condition. Unless a return game can be ar ranged with the Guard team at Port land the contest last night ended the season for the local team. The lineup: Mult.

Stats. 0 8 .0671 By taking two games apiece from the University of Oregon and the Ore gon Aggies, the Stanford University basketball team clinched-the cham pionship of the Pacific Coast confer ence last week on its invasion of the northwest. Only one, or possibly two, more games remain on Stanford's schedule. A three-game series was scheduled at the start of the season between the University of California and Stanford for the state champion ship of California. One contest al ready has been staged, and the Palo Alto five came out on top. The sec ond clash Is slated for March 5, and should the Bears win from Stanford, thereby evening up the series, a third game will be played the following night The University of California five which was also playing away from its home floor last week, did not com out as well against Washington State college as the University of Washing ton and Stanford did against Oregon and the Oregon Aggies. The Bears broke even in a two-game series with the Cougars and then won the firs and dropped the second of the series with the Sun Dodgers at Seattle. The conference schedule is prac tically completed with the exceptio of the Stanford-California contest and the return games between the Oregon Aggies and the University of Oregon at Eugene this week end. Unless it is able to pull out of th cellar by winning two games from the Oregon Aggies this week, th Lemon-Yellow five, which carried oft both the Pacific Coast and Northwest conference titles last year, will finiBh at the bottom of the pile this season, In the Northwest conference, Coach Vincent Borleske's Whitman college hoopers landed at the top last week by taking two in a row from the Uni versity of Idaho five, which had pre viously held the lead. With nine games won and two lost, the Mission aries are being crowded close by the Gem staters, who have won Beven and lost three. Local fans' probably will not have an opportunity to witness the Oregon Aggies in action on a local floor this season against the Multnomah Ama teur Athletic club tossers. There was some talk of the two teams being brought together this week on the Winged-M floor, but James J. Rich ardson, manager or student actlvi ties at the Corvallls institution, who arrived in Portland yesterday, states that the Beavers are not overly anx ious to schedule any further games this season, and want to call it quits after they have met the University of Oregon team this wk end. Most of the' Beaver basket tossers want to turn out for baseball, and are anxious to discard their gym clothes for the spiked shoes and baseball uniforms. The Oregon Angles had tough luck in the cape game this season. After getting off to a good start the team was weakened by the loss of hlkei men and Arthurs, two of the regulars, who v.ere benched on account of in Juries. www Manager Roy Toomey of the Mult nomah Amateur Athletic club basket ball team and "Si" Simonsen, who looks efter the affairs of the Mult nomah Guard five, are expected to reach some agreement this week re carding a gama between the two teams.
