Hope Held That President-elect Harding Will Attend Big East-West Contest. PASADENA PREPARES FDR GRIDIRDN GAME Bi DICK SHARP. Battling Levinsky, who registers at the polls as Barney Williams, did not come to Portland holding" Boy Mc cormick cheap. The Battler worked out at the Olympic gymnasium yes terday before several hundred boxing fans and showed more boxing ability than any other light-heavy or heavy weight that ever stepped around here. This might be a broad statement, but it is a truth. Levinsky didrr"t even lose a day's training while traveling. He stopped off in Chicago one day and worked out at the Arcade gymnasium. The next morning he had reached Omaha and there made arrangements for the use of one end of a baggage car to work out daily. He put in three days of shadow boxing and rope skipping in the baggage car. Kvery time the train stopped for more than five minutes, Levinsky was out on the depot walk pacing up and down a la Harvard football team. He worked with Jess Taylor, the colored light-heavyweight, and Frankie Mur phy yesterday at the Olympic gym nasium, going four rounds with each of the boxers. He darted in and out like a lightweight and displayed a snappy, well - directed punch with tome stuff behind it. Levinxky to "Weigh 178. Jack Rogers, who is here with Levinsky, says that the Philadelphian is carrying but few pounds of excess weight, which he will have off by Wednesday. He expects Lvinsky to scale about 178 pounds ringside. Boy McCormick will hardly tip more than 3 61 tomorrow night, so it can be seen that he is giving quite a chunk of beef away to one of the best ring men in the world. Levinsky will be 30 years old his next birthday. He was born in Phila delphia June 10, 1890. The figures available disclose that he has en taped in over 300 battles in his career, taking part in 62 scraps in one year, more than one bout a week. His ring career has extended over a period of ten years. The Battler began his career with something of a punch, for his first year's work in the squared circle re sulted in eight straight knockouts. As he progressed, however, Levinsky gradually discarded his hitting pro pensities for the more clever and scientific style. Out of 42 victories that he has scored over the country's leading boxers, 20 of them have been knockouts. He also has a record of 139 no-decision scraps, which is un equaled by any man in the game. Steve Da-ltoa Mimting. m A change has been necessitated in tomorrow night's card. Evidently Steve Dalton's showing against Bat tling Ortega in Oakland last week put him up in the air and, as he did not put in his appearance from San Krancisco yesterday. Matchmaker Kendall decided not to wait any long er and signed another man for Mur phy rather than wait until the last day. Telegram after telegram failed to get a rise ou-t of Dalton after he had agreed to accept the match, so yes terday Kendall gave up all hopes and, via the long-distance telephone, se cured Lloyd Madden, the tough, Seat tle welterweight, to box Murphy. Be cause of the short notice given Mad den it was agreed to shorten the match to six rounds and add another six-round match to the card, along with, the four-round curtain raiser. As the result the fans will see an xtra match and two extra rounds. m Matchmaker Kendall is dickering "with several boys who have been in constant training here for the added six-round go. The match that he would like to get is one between Roy Sutherland and George Eagels, who fought a slam-bang draw at the Mil "waukie arena several days ago. Harlan Bunker has been creating quite an impression in his daily work outs and is a favorite over the vet eran Joe Bonds. Joe will arrive from Tacoma today, where he has been conditioning himself for over a month. Bonds set the boy3 a-talking a. few weeks back when he knocked out "Wild Bill Reed in three rounds, and is determined to subma rine Bunker. Joe Egan, Boston middleweight, who meets Johnny Celmars of Fort Worth. Texas, in the main event of Thursday night's card in Tacoma, is training here for the match. Egan is one of the best-known boxers in the country and was renewing old ac quaintance -with Battling Levinsky yesterday. Frank Kendall has been conducting an elimination contest all his own the last few days. He has three box ers weighing between 16S and 178 pounds who have been working out all week under his eye. The object is to select one of them to box Jess Taylor in the four-round ctrrtain raiser to morrow night. Kendall will pick the unlucky one this afternoon after giv ing the three the once-over once more. Weldon Wing lost a six-round deci sion to Bert Forbes of Seattle in Van couver, B. C, the other night. Wing outboxed Forbes the first four rounds, "but the Seattle boy rallied strong in the fifth and sixth and was awarded tire decision. ' Stanley Willis, who is well known in local fistic circles as a toug-h, clever welterweight, is boxing back in Pennsylvania, his home territory. It Is Stanley s first trip home since com ing out to the coast several years ago. He is meeting with great success. The other night btanley beat K. O. Billy Angelo of New York in ten rounds at Reading. Pa. MAJOR LEAGtES IVIX' APPEAL IMstrlct Court of Appeals Reverses Federal League Case. WASHINGTON". Dec. 6. The district court of appeals today reversed the recent judgment for $264,000 granted "by the district supreme court against the major baseball leagues in favor of the Baltimore Federal league club. which claimed a violation of the anti trust laws by the use of the "reserve clause" in the players' contract. The appellate court held that play ing baseball did not constitute inter state commerce and that the antl trust law did not apply. The "reserve ciause" imposed restrictions, the court held, which related directly to the conservation of the personnel of the clubs and did not affect the.move- ABOUT LI "PLACE S OF AMUS EMElJT M ments of the Federal league clubs. Any ill effect was merely accidental, the court found. Counsel for the Baltimore club an nounced today that an attempt will be made to carry the case to the supreme court for review. A verdict for ?S0,000 was awarded by the jury when the former Federal league club's contention was upheld In the lower court. As provided by the anti-trust laws, the amount of the judgment was tripled and an attorney's fee of $24,000 was adjudged, bringing the total judgment up to 264,000. ANOTHER COUCH WANTED AGITATION FOR CHANGE GAIXS STRENGTH AT WASHINGTON. Three Are Mentioned for Allison's Place but Bag-shaw. Seems to lie Favorite Now. UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON, Seattle, Dec. 6. (Special.) Agitation among the alumni of UnWersity of Washington for a new football coach has been particularly pronounced dur ing the past two weeks. Although Graduate Manager Meisnest has an nounced that no immediate decision regarding a change will be made, it is generally believed that a choice will be made by the first of next month. Allison's record this season is the main grounds of complaint on the part of the alumni and Seattle sport writers. The university has not had such a series of defeats since 1913. when the record was duplicated. As a successor to Allison in case of his removal, Henderson of south ern California, Borleske of Whitman and Enoch Bagshaw, high school coach at Everett, have been sug gested. The Bagshaw boom has assumed the largest proportions of any of the three. "Baggie" is an ex-Washington star and has a wonderful record as a coach, at Everett, where his prep school elevens have been defeated only once in nine years. Borleske has denied any communi cation with the university on the proposition but has not committed himself on the question ol. accepting. Henderson has been mentioned for his prominent work and record at University of Southern California this year. BASKETBALL TEAMS ORGANIZE Prosser Students, Business Men and Legionaires Take Up Game. PROSSER, Wash., Dec. 6. (Spe cial.) All attention has been turned to basketball with the end of the foot ball season. Not only are the high school boys turning out for places on the school team, but business men, faculty members and American Le gion teams are working out frequent ly and playing practice games with the high school team. Keen competition is shown and never before was such Interest taken in basketball. The high schoo'. has games sched uled with other teams of the valley and it is expected that a town team will be formed which also will sched ule outside games. In fact, the Pros ser town team will welcome corres pondence with any team in the state for the purpose of scheduling games for the coming months. STUDENTS TAKE WRESTLING University of Washington Grap plers Have Begun to Train. UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON. Seattle. Dec. 6. (Special.) A call for varsity wrestlers has been made by Coach Jimmie Arbuthnot and approxi mately 100 men are turning out in the University of Washington gym nasium. Arbuthnot returned to the Univer sity of Washington this fall. He was wrestling coach in 1918 and has been at Oregon Agricultural college for the last two years. Coach Arbuthnot is assisted by Blaine Gibson and Otto Bardeson, varsity wrestlers. . With a large number of men of practically all weights, and a number of former men back, the Washington grapplers will have a strong squad this year. Captain Bollinger, Bardeson, Gib son, Sartoris and M. Bollinger an all in school from last year's varsity. Lewis County Wants Golf Club. CHEHAL1S. Wash., Dec 6. (Spe cial.)

Sabbath da JUMBO STIEHM IS SOUGHT AS WASHINGTON GRID COACH Bill Klepper and Bill Kenworthy, and Tell of Plans for BY L. H. GREGORY. IN THE effort to get a coach who will put her back on the football map in the good old Dobie way, the University of Washington is an gling for none other than the cele brated E. O. (Jumbo) Stiehm, now head coach at the University of In diana. This became known yesterday from indisputable sources. Washington may not get Stiehm. The chances are she will not, for it would take a whale of an offer to lure him from Indiana. But she is negotiating with him to take the coaching job just vacated by Stub Allison, who resigned the other day after tutoring the Washington varsity through the most disastrous season it ever had. Jumbo Stiehm is known all over America as one of the best coaches in football. He is a University of Wis consin graduate, and a three-letter man at that university. While in college he made his letter in football, baseball and basketball. He was a star in all three sports. He made his coaching reputation at the University of Nebraska, which he coached five years. Each of those five years Nebraska won the Mis sourfvalley championship. In that pe riod Nebraska also twice defeated the great Notre Dame and. besides, de feated Minnesota, Michigan and the Michigan Aggies. For the past three years-Stiehn has been head coach at the University of Indiana. His eleven finished third in the "Big Ten" this season, its only conference defeat being a 7 to 14 game lost to Iowa early in the season. Indiana didn't meet the championship Ohio state eleven, but cleaned up on all other conference opponents. . Indiana also played Notre Dame. Though Notre .Dame won, 13 to 10. the score was the lowest the great Catholic eleven has been held to in the past couple of years. It would be a ten-strike for Wash ington to get a man of Stiehm's cali ber. But to get him doubtless would require '-every cent ''of that $10,000 a year Seattle dispatches have said are waiting in the Washington coffers for a coach who can fill the well known bill. Washington wants not only a football coach, but a man who can direct basketball and baseball in short, an all-the-year-around ath letic director. Stiehm would be at home in that job. If Stiehm doesn't come it still looks like Enoch Bagshaw for the Washing ton coaching job. But the fact that Washington is out trying to get Stiehm shows that there is consider able opposition to Bagshaw in uni versity circles, despite his continued football suacess with Everett high school. W. H. Klepper. president of the Seattle baseball club and brother of Milton R. Klepper of Portland, was in town yesterday with the new Seat tle manager. Bill Kenworthy. The two were feeling pretty good about the coming season, and small wonder, a.t that. According to Klepper, Seattle not only has all its last season's team except Brenton and Sammy Bonne, who went to Cincinnati, but still has five men coming from the Reds on that deal, and one from St. Louis on a deal for Thomas, besides a couple of good deals in sight. "We have had no less than three offers for Rod Murphy," said Klepper. "But, believe me. Murphy will not get away from us unless we get what he is worth In ball players. "Then we have had an offer or so for Pitcher Bob Geary, out of which we may land a couple of players. Be sides that, another club is angling for Ernie Schorr, soirthpaw. So, all in all, we seem pretty well fixed for players. "One thing sure, we are out for a pennant for Seattle this year. My in tention is to give those Seattle fans who were so lojfal to us last season the very best club we can put Into the Coast league race. We have the money and are willing to spend It. Watch our smoke." Klepper thinks he made a' mighty good move in signing up the veteran. Bill Kenworthy, to manage the Seat tle team this year at a salary prob ably larger than that paid any other minor league chief in the country. Kenworthy seems to think It was a good move, too. He was enthusiastic yesterday about the coming season, and not in the least apprehensive as to his own ability to deliver the man agerial goods. "Some of these players when they become- managers expect to sit on the bench and run the team," said Ken worthy. "I figure Just the opposite. Just as long as I can deliver you'll find me in the lineup. I don't believe managing the club will slow up my playing in the least. In fact, I ex REAM ABOoT Te CL oS i rJC of" ail Got F Courses "Bas?

As I look at it, playing will do a lot to take the worry of managing off my shoul ders. The unofficial records have me down as hitting .323 last season, and as long as I can bang the -Old pellet at that lick I sjtould worry about benching myself. j- "You're dead right in figurinar you'll find it easier to manage the team when you're playing yourself than from the bench," interposed Walter McCredie, who had come to congratulate Kenworthy and gossip about the coming season. "I was a Flaying manager for- a good many seasons in Portland before I took to the bench, and I tell you it's duck soup managing and playing compared to managing from the bench. "When you're in the game every day. your mind is on your playing and you escape a million worries that bother the bench manager half to death. My advice to the ballplayer who becomes a managerls to stay in the game himself just as long as he can hobble around. He'll last twice as long and cheat the goof club out of a good many years' dues." The proposed Notre Dame-Oregon Agricultural college football game here New Year's day is off. In its place Notre Dame has definitely closed for a Christmas day football game in San Francisco against the same Pacific fleet team that defeated Multnomah here Saturday, 41 to 0. This news came yesterday to James J. Richardson, general manager of student activities at Oregon Agricul tural college, in a telegram saying that Notre Dame had accepted the Christmas d&te and would be able to Play only the one game on its trip to the coast. This probably is Just as well, for it was becoming increas lnKly doubtful- if arrangements could be completed at the O. A. C. end for the New Year's game. The Pacific fleet eleven Is as well qualified to give Notre Dame a real argument as any conference college football team on the Pacific coast. Most persons who saw the fleet team in action on Multnomah field Satur day will agree thAt only tw of the conference college elevens this sea son would have stood much show against it. Those two are Washing ton State and California. After seeing Ingram and Fielding in action on those cross bucks Sat urday we haven't the.lea.st surprise at the action of Coach Elmer Hen derson of University of Southern Cal ifornia in hastily cancelling a prac tice game he had scheduled with the navy lads. . "I have promised George Maisel, Beaver outfielder, that if he can ar range a satisfactory dicker with a big league club for his services, I will put it through for him," said Walter McCredie yesterday. . ".Maisel has given us his best in the past couple of years and is entitled to another chance up above. I ap preciate a ballplayer's good efforts and will never stand in the way of his advancement! All I want is a satisfactory arrangement whereby we can get good players in exchange. -Maisel ought to bring Us at least two hieh-class ballplayers. "And don't think that Fritz won't make good up above. He will. Maisel is a much better ballplayer than he has had credit for being in Portland. All his hard luck in hitting has hap pened here. On the road he is one corking good pinch hitter and has driven in many a run for the Port land club. But every player slumps in his hitting at times, and it Just has happened that Maisel's slumps always have been in Portland." McCredie expects to get a couple of players from Boston, a player or so from Detroit in exchange for Lew Blue, perhaps a player or two from Chicago and maybe a couple of play ers in the Maisel deal. He figures this with what he has should give him a pretty erood layout when the TO OUR CUSTOMERS While our wholesale depot has been destroyed by fire, we will be able to fill orders with little delay. .

Plans are being made for a tour of the middle west late this month of the Junior Golds, a 130-pound Young Men's Christian association basketball team of Oakland. OREGON GETS FIRST MEET CONFERENCE MAKES SIX-YEAR TRACK AGREEMENT. Pullman, Berkeley, Corvallis, Se attic, Then Palo Alto Scene of Events After 1921. One of the most important matters accomplished at the recent coast con ference meeting at Berkeley, Cal., was the decision for a six-year agree ment for the conference track and field championships. Starting with the 1921 season and running until 1926 the meets have been apportioned as follows: 1921 to University of Oregon at Eugene, 1922 to Washing ton State college at Pullman, 1923 to University of California at Berkeley, 1924 to Oregon Aggies at Corvallis, 1925 to University of Washington at Seattle, 1926 to Stanford university at I'alo Alto. It is unfortunate that the Univer sity of Southern California could not be admitted to the conference. The past season has shown U. S. C. with a worthy football team and for years past the "-southrons" have always had track teams comparing with college teams in any part of the country. Southern California gave this country Fred Kelly and Charlie Pad dock. It-had Howard Drew and many more of a standard measuring up with the best. It is possible that the U. S. C. track men will be seen in competition against various confer ence college teams next season in dual meets. Arrangements to this end are being entered into by the southern management. It is not generally known that both French and English boxers are now touring Germany and milling in the squared circle with the "Huns." Fur thermore, these boxers are receiving a hearty and flattering reception from the "fans" who but a few months ago were referred to as "Huns." George Groves ,an English midfdleweight, and Dumas a French middleweight, have opened the way for further boxing invasions of Ger many and it now looks as though there will be a general flocking of the padded mitt men into Germany. Groves has had ten fights and won them all, so on that showing he says there is nothing to complain of and that the German audiences treat him properly.

' Y.-e I r . - -jAlr' BY HARRY $L GRAYSON. PASADENA, Cal., Dec 6. (Spe cial.) Elaborate plans are being made for the reception and entertain ment of the University of California and Ohio State football teams upon their arrival in Pasadena on or abouT December 22. When the teams take the field for their intersectlonal championship match. New Year's day, regularly organized rooting sections will cheer their favorites and the ccntest will have all the "color" of a big campus game. The Federation of Ohio State so cieties f Southern California, repre senting 50.000 Ohioans, will lavishly entertain the visiting Buckeyes. Of ficials of the society, headed by Presi dent Blatt of Long Beach and Secre tary Bering of Los Angeles, will head a big brass band and. hundreds of supporters of Dr. John Wilce's-charg ers that will meet the team upon its arrival in Los Angeles. Automobiles will whisk the Ohio footballers to the Hotel Huntington, and will be at the disposal of the visitors during their stay. A banquet will be tendered the Ohio State party by the Federation of Ohio State societies at a down town banquet room. The tentative date set is December 28. 1200 Buckeye Seats Arranged. Twelve hundred seats at Tourna n-ent park have been set aside for the Ohio rooting eection. Alumni from all of the Big Ten conference col leges will form the Ohio rooting sec tion, with the result that plenty of spirit should be shown in that qua rter. In the hope that President-elect and Mrs. Warren G. Harding will be able to attend the classic, the Tournament of Roses association has reserved special box, and a warm Invitation has been telegraphed them. Ohioans in southern California will be on h:ind to cheer the wonderful creation representing their home state. The Federation of Ohio State so cieties includes all Ohio organizations in southern California, besides the Ohio State University Alumni asso ciation of Los Angeles. This splen did organization is setting itself to make the visit of its home state foot ball team the most memorable of all time.. Ci 1 3S California Seats Arranged. California with its 14,000 students and upward of 20,000 alumni of ne cessity will make a great demand on seating capacity. When it is understood that more than 2000 men students are expected from the campus alone, while there are more than 2000 students at the southern branch of the university in Lcs Angeles, to make no mention whatever of the alumni gathered around Los Angeles and San Fran cisco and throughout the state, Cali fornia's allotment of 6158 seats seems small. The University of California both Btvdent body and alumni has been allotted 6158 seats, which will not in any way fill the requirement. How ever, with due consideration for what the Tournament of Roses associa tion feels it owes the general public. Graduate Manager Nichols and Leslie B. Henry, representing the alumni, regard the association's treatment of California generous. A full squad of 30 men with coaches and trainers will make the trip south and will be located at the Hotel Maryland. There are no more Tournament of Roses association memberships for sale in Pasadena. The list has closed with 3000 sold, .pfficials decided to end the sale when they realized that no longer could they guarantee pur chasers the very best seats in the park. Three thousand memberships represent the very best 12.000 seats a3 each member is entitled to buy four cardboards. A membership costs $5. Of this sum $3 is credited on the purchase price of tickets. Never before has the tournament as sociation sold so many memberships. Last year it disposed of 2563, which was the largest number up until now. Stanford Veterans Ttetnrn.
