EDDIE
MAY
NOT RETURN
Multnomah Instructor Away
. on California Trip. '
CLASS CHANGES LIKELY
Congestion at Club May Cause
Forming of Pepartment for
Each Sport.
Edward J. O'Connell. for the past
several years boxing and wrestling
Instructor at the Multnomah Amateur
Athletic club, will in all probability
not return to the Winged M Institu
tion this fall when the winter activi
ties are resumed.
This was the consensus of opinion
among the club officials yesterday,
who stated that O'Connell had left
the club in June for a trip through
California and that it was practically
certain that he would not again take
up his dutea in the fall.
Class Change Likely
A change In the method of han
dling the boxing and wrestling
classes to be inaugurated this Win
ter at the Winged M club is
the reason given by the club of
ficials for the securing of new in
structors. The plan now on foot is to
segregate' the boxing and wrestling
classes and to have a man at the
head of each department. It is
thought that this plan did not alto
gether meet with the approval of
O'Connell and is one of the main rea
sons why be will not return this win
ter.
Owing to the congestion In the
classes when handled ty one instruc
tor under the same department the
club has been somewhat handicapped
when It came to turning out champion
grapplcrs and mitt men and it is ex
pected that the new plan will remedy
this. More material -can be developed
In each department and more atten
tion can be given those who show
promise of developing into cham
pions. As yet nothing has been done by the
Multnomah club as to seourlng new
Instructors for the departments.
O'Connell Here 11 Years.
O'Connell has been with the local
club since 1909, coming here from
Yale university, where he was an in
structor in boxing and wrestling after
his graduation. He is nationally
known as a wrestler, having at one
time laid claim to the welterweight
title.
It was through the influence of the
late Edgar Frank, national amateur
wrestling champion and a former
member of the Multnomah club, that
O'Connell was' brought to the coast.
While training for a national meet in
the east Frank made the acquaintance
of O'Connell and upon his return to
Portland secured him the position
with the loral club.

The leader fell off in the last round

had scarcely totaled his 29 when

the last tee with four strokes to tie

Will Rogers has come into his own
with a rush that is one of the miracles
of photoplay history. This homely.
hard-bitten, sun-tanned wit of the
wettern plains, with his bashful grin
ana twinkling eyes, comes closer to
the accepted ideal of the typical
American than any man before the
public.
In "Jes' Call Me Jim" Will Rogers
has a part that seems as well suited
to his personality as the flannel shirt
and coon-skin cap he wears. As Jim
fcenton, the simple, rugged woods
man, he is a character your patrons
will not easily forget. His bashful
code of honor, his loyalty to a friend,
and above all, his delightful humor,
are reflected in a picture that is bet
ter than "Jubilo" and "The Strange
Boarder." good as they were.
Irene Rich and Jimmy Rogers are
the bright particular lights of the
supporting cast. Other well-known
names are those of Raymond Hatton,

(Copyrieht by the New York World. Pub-

YOUNGSTOWN. O.. Aug. 5. (Spe
cial.) The 36-hole best ball match
that we played over the excellent
course of the Youngstown Country
club today was the most hotly con
tested one that we have played since
we 'began our tour. It was halved.
as it should have been. We were
one down for the morning round and
one up for the afternoon.'
Harry Vardon and I were against
Emmett French, the club professional,
and Herbert C. Lagerblade, who for
merly held that position. They both
played exceedingly well, but French,
to my mind, is one of the finest
golfers I have seen. I could not find
a flaw in any stroke he made.
When we first began I thought
that French was a bit weak in bis
putting, but as the game warmed up
I learned that I had been badly mis
taken in my first impression. He can
putt; he-can drive, he can take good
care ot himself in trouble. .
Lsk im Mateh Changes.
Lagerblade seemed not to have been
too keen; apparently he has not been
on the links recently as often as
.would be good for him. His form
was fitful. He played amazingly
early in the day and afterward at
irregular intervals. He convinced me
that he can do much better. But bis
eye was not quite right. He had a
bit of ill luck, too. He played about
the rim of the hole on his long4 putts
just about as much as Jim Barnes
did at Hollywood last Sunday.
The turn the match trok is an as
tonishing thing. I got away to
rarely good start In the morning by
holing out five birdie threes in the
first five holes, a four on the sixth
and a par three oi. the seventh. At
the fourth hole we became four up
and I was beginning to have visions
of a runaway match score, perhaps
win by 7 or up for the day. But
things took a change. They had got
the sixtTi hole by grace of an ap
proach spot to the rim by Lagerblade,
and then he won the ninth by a long
putt. French got going at the tenth
and took a birdie three for that and
for the next one. At the fourth he
went under par again by running
down a 30-foot putt for a four, while
the rest of us were playing along lor
fives. Harry Vardon gave us a glint
of hone by sinking his ball at 10 feet
for a two on the fifteenth but French
got another and we went in to lunch
eon, one down.
Vardon's Pnttins Game Suffers.
More brilliant golf was displayed
during the afternoon, with Harry
Vardon ' shedding luster and French
playing well-nigh perfectly. Vardon
was somehow off in his putting game
today. He missed several that were
within a Very few feet of the hore.
The fact is, he did not appear to have
nearly as much difficulty in sinking
his putts from lies 10 and 15 feet
away as he did these short ones. He
ha3 had a bad week of it in this de
tail of his game. He can run them
down, short or long. But now he is
in the grasp of a little spell of putt
illness. Everybody gets it once in
awhile but Vardon has got it slightly
worse than most cf the others evtjr
have it. Before I try to tell what he
Is doing th&t he shouldn't, I want you
to know that it is not malignant nor
pernicious, and he will probably be
thoroughly curef. of it by Saturday.
He was the first one to discover the
trouble.
Vardon is not putting ctraight. He
is slightly pulling his strokes here
and is not striking in a straight line.
He is crossing the line that the ball
should follow with the club, and only
a few days ago he was playing them
exactly proper.

Maier Attempts to Find Out Crap
Game Particulars.
LOS ANGELES, Cal.. Aug. B.
Babe" Borton, first baseman of the
Vernon club of the Pacific Coast
Baseball league, declined today to tell
Edward R. Maler. owner of the club,
names of persons involved in an al
leged crap game where Borton is said
to have lost $300 to Harl Maggart,
Salt Lake outfielder, according to a
statement by Maler here today.
Maier said he would make another
attempt ta obtain the information
from Borton, but had little hope of
success.
Maier said he would not . release
Borton pending further developments.
Maier has perfected arrangements
to fight gambling on the ball games
at Washington park here. He has
engaged special policemen and plain
clothes men to guard the entrances to
the park and to be stationed in grand
stand and bleachers with orders to
eject any person caught betting on a
game.

day.
Changes in the rules affect the
stymie, the lost-ball penalty, amateur
and professional definitions, stan
dardized ball and other minor details.
All changes take effect September 1.
except the standard ball ruling, which
will go into effect in May. 1921. The
new rules are:
Professional definition: One who,
after attaining the age of 16, has
carried clubs for hire, received any
consideration, either directly or in
directly for playing or for teaching
the game, or for playing in a match
or tournament, or for a money prise
in any tournament. Every application
for reinstatement to amateur status
will be considered on its own merits,
but a player, may not be reinstated
more than once.
Violations of the amateur rule In
clude: Lending one's name or like
ness for the advertisement or sale of
anything except as a dealer, manu
facturer. or inventor thereof: per
mitting one's name to be advertised
or published for pay as the author of
books or articles on golf of which
one is not actually the author.
There will be the same penalty for
lost ball, unplayable ball and out of
bounds; in other words, the player
must go back to where he played
from and lose stroke and distance,
and a provisional ball may be played
to save time.
The stymie definition states a
stymie is laid when both balls are on
the putting green and the opponent's
ball "lies in any position which the
player regards as interfering with his
line, provided the balls be not within
six inches of each other. The rule
then provides that "if the opponent
lay the player a stymie, the player
may remove the opponent's ball; the
opponent shall then be deemed to have
holed in his next stroke." If the
Kolfer playing within the putting
green lays himself a stymie the rule,
does not apply.
The rule regarding the standardized
ball requires that the weight of the

in the coming 800-meter Olympic
championship at Antwerp faces the-
same danger that wrecked the United
States' hopes in the 1500-meter race at
Stockholm eight years ago.
In the middle distance contest at
Stockholm America had three first
string runners Norman Taber, John
Paul Jones and Abel Kiviat. All or
the trio were perfectly capable of
beating 4 .minutes and 18 second for
the mile, ana the rivalry between
them was Intense.
It was this rivalry that proved their
downfall. The three - watched each
other so intently that they quite bver-
looKea tne gaunt iorm or the now
colonel Arnoia w. strode-Jackson
wno came aiong witn a rushing fin
ish to nose out the struggling Yankee
trio in the final 50 yards.
If fate is kind to America at Ant
werp, Uncle Sam should have three.
and possibly four, flnalsts in the 800-
meter dash with Earl Eby of the
University of Pennsylvania, Allan
Helffrich of the New York Athletic
club. Lieutenant Don Scott of the
United States army and Joie Ray of
the Illinois Athletic club. It is the
next thing to a certainty, too. that
Beril G. D. Rudd of South Africa will
be the "Jackson" of that race.
It remains now for the Yankee
half-milers to run that race regardless
of personal ambitions, so that Rudd
will be overwhelmed in the final 100
yards by the speed and strength of
one or more of them. The situation in
the Antwerp race will be a bit dif
ferent than it was at Stockholm, if
Don Scott qualifies for the final
Scott is essentially a front runner.
When the gun goes off he dashes to
the lead and fairly "eats it up,", as
the runners say. If perfectly fit,
Scott will go to the quarter in 53 sec
onds and he won't stop there. Such a
condition will resolve the contest into
a test of. real "half miling." which
should show Eby, with his ability to

SEATTLE, Wash.. Aug. 5. (Spe
cial.) Protection of the federal gov
ernment was invoked today by Al
fred M. Hubbard, Seattle boy inven
tor of what he terms an "atmospheric
power generator.
As a result of his petition, L. M.
Bowman, eaid to be a business man
of Tulsa, Okla., and S. V. Arnold, a
local man. were interrogated for two
hour." by United States Attorney Rob
ert C. liaunders. upon young Hub
ard's assertion that Bowman had in
timated himself to be an agent of the
federal bureau of investigation, and
that he desired to ascertain the work
ings of Hubbard's mystery coil, whioh
was used to propel an la-foot boat
on test trials several days ago.
Both Bowman and Arnold denied
Hubbard's assertion, and District At
torney Saunders stated that insuffi
cient evidence had been produced .to
warrant detaining them further.
Hubbard, the story runs, demurred
at revealing his secret. He gathered
then, he says, that he would be ar
rested if he did not permit tbe coil
to be examined.
A coil was produced which was ex
amined, but Hubbard admitted that
it was not the real apparatus he had
used in his tests, but merely a dummy
which he had constructed to deceive
Dossible thieves.
Then he agreed to meet Bowman
and Arnold in front of the Savoy ho
tel today at noon ostensibly for the
purpose of testing out his coil in
an automobile. Bowman agreeing to
furnish the machine.
In the meantime, becoming wor
ried over the situation, ho commu
nicated his fears to Gilbert Skinner,
son of T. E. Skinner, president of
the Skinner-Eddy corporation, ship
builders. The young Skinner sought
the advice of his father'a attorney.
L. B. Stedman.
Mr. 6tedman immediately took up
the matter with District Attorney
Saunders, who desired to Investigate
the report. A department of justice
operative was called in and directed
to make the appointment in front
of the Savoy hotel and Bowman and
Arnold were taken into temporary
custody.

Prisoner Says Meeting: With Wom
an Street Car Romance; Pen
alty Is Prison Term.
SEATTLE,- Wash., Aug. 5. (Spe
cial.) Biblical precepts justified his
love for Carrol Favor. Willis Dee
Johns, street-car conductor, of 7052
Fifteenth avenue northwest, told De
tective Captain C. E. Tennant Thurs
day. Johns said that the Bible justi
fied all love, if marriage is Intended.
He could not tell what part of the
Bible the passages are in.
Seduction charges were filed
against Johna by Deputy Prosecutor
Carmody in tbe superior court today.
Carmody based the charges on Johns'
alleged concealment from Miss Favor
that he was married at the time he
was protesting his love for her.
Penalty is not more than five years'
imprisonment in Walla Walla prison,
or not more than one year in the
county jail, or $1000 fine or. both.
"Married and happy," was the con
tents of two notes, the woman says
Johrus forced her to write to her
mother and sister. The chirography
of the notes written by the woman
plainly showed she was under stress,
according to J. W. Sampson, hand
writing expert in Captain Tenant's
-office. Fully loaded, a 32-caliber
automatic revolver was found under
a pillow in the man's room by detec
tives. "A street-car romance," was the
way Johns termed his friendship with
Miss Favor. He " had met her when
she rode on his car on the Green
wood route, he said. Her parents
objected to him, but they met any
way, on the street cars, he declared.
