The game, played in the Washington high gym, was the most spectacular and sensational so far played In the high Bchool league. Anderson and Hutchinson put the pa me on ice between them for Jef ferson, when each shot a Held basket In the secpnd overtime period, after Eroughton for Jefferson had tied the Bcore with another sensational flip. Neither team scored in the first over time period, the score at the end of the second half being 19 to 19. Franklin Take Lead. Franklin Jumped into the lead at the start, when Hobson and Thomas threw a basket each, Jefferson's first score resulted from a converted foul by Broughton. In the first ten min utes of piay the Quakers lead, 8 to 3, but Jefferson braced and baskets by Eroughton, Anderson and Mimnaugh and a converted foul by Broughton put the Democrats ahead at the end of the first half, 10 to 9. Franklin again took the lead early in the second half, when Thomas shot a basket'. Then the two teams see sawed back and forth in thrilling rallies. At one time In this period Jefferson had the lead, 15 to 13, only to lose it when Slade, who replaced Hobson, shot two baskets within one minute. Franklin tied the score just 20 sec onds before regular time was called at the end of- the second half when Slade converted a foul. Both teams, made several changes in the lineups for the first over-time period but to no avail at.d when the time was up the score remained 19 a.. Chances Are Taken. In the second over-time period players on both teams took chances on long shots. Scallon placed Franklin ahead at the beginning of this second period with a sensational shot from the right-center of the floor. Brough ton immediately tied for Jefferson with a basket from the center of the floor, and then eJfferson put the game on ice. Captain Hutchinson of Jefferson, al though the smallest regular of the two teams, was easily the outstanding atar. He guarded Scallon so closely that the Franklin player annexed only two baskets. The team work on both fives was excellent and the playing of the four guards was noteworthy. Broughton converted five out of six fouls and made three baskets for a total of 11 points. -For Franklin, Slade converted one foul out of one attempt and Hob son two out of four. The game was the cleanest played thus far and only a few personals were caliea. Lincoln and James John play today at 3:15 o'clock in the Washington high gym. The lineups yesterday: Jefferson (25).

SUNSHINE AND SUTHERLAND PUT BASEBALL, FEVER IN AIR Stories About Suds Being Physical Wreck, Half-blind and Tottering, Belied by Appearance of Clear-eyed Young Pitcher. BY L. H. GREGORY. WELLi, mates, the baseball sea son is just around the corner. Yesterday's weather started the fever and then, to aid and abet It, who should come to town but Suds Sutherland, direct froni Detroit, his good right arm a-tingle to be at training camp and heaving 'em across the plate. And he looked like the same old Suds that he used to when he led the Coast league pitchers in 1920. All these stories about his being a physi cal wreck, half blind, tottering, hard ly able to hobble or lift his arm were belied by the appearance of this clear-eyed young fellow, who said he felt just as good as at any time in his life, and looked it. . Suds never was a Hercules in build, but he weighs 170 pounds, which ought to dispose of the " wasted - skeleton " yarn. Not only Is Suds back to pitch for Portland again, but he says he is back to stay and that he intends to end his pitching days in the Pacific Coast league. "I've had my little fling iir the big leagues," he asserted with vehemence, "and it's never again for me. Once was enough. I wouldn't go back there again If I were to become the best pitcher in the world. Hereafter the good old Pacific coast, where the real white 'folks live, will be my per manent territory and I never want to see the country again east of the Rocky Mountains. Suds announces he will pitch his head off for Portland this season, and he thinks he will have a fine year. He had his fast ball' last season until Walter Johnson beaned him on the pitching arm in Junethe - real old fast ball that he had when he first went into baseball and he says he feels In his bones that he will have It this season, too. "But - even if - I don't, I should worry," declared Suds. "I got my fill of fast-ball pitching in the big leagues, I'll say I did. That's all the managers up there seem to know fast ball, fast ball, fast ball. They all want you to use a fast ball. The batters lay back and maul it, but that doesn't make any difference. They're fast-ball crazy. . "In eight games I pitched for De troit, only two hits were made off my curve ball, and about the same num ber off my slow one, all the others being off the fast one, and yet the management Insisted and demanded that I use a fast ball. Sometimes I wonder why they call it the 'big league.' Suds has some interesting stories about his experiences in the big brush and the idiosyncracies of this man ager and that one. About the fun niest he tells is how Ty Cobb wouldn't ltt him pitch to the Detroit batters in practice because he said that Suds' slow ball put the hitters "off their stride." "No, sir," said Suds, "after I had pitched to the batters a tew times they were all squawking about my slow ball and Cobb couldn't hit it himself, so finally he told me that I couldn't pitch any more In batting practice. I asked him if he didn't want the batters to have some prac tice ,on slow balls, and he said no, that it put them off their stride. The only man on the team who wanted me to pitch to him was Bobby Veach, so I used to go over in a corner of the field and pitch curves and slow ones at him by the hour. 'The upshot of it was that Veach was the only man on the club who could hit a slow ball. After he had practiced against me a while he would go up in a game and just mur der slow-ball pitching. But that didn't make any difference, wasn't allowed to pitch to batters. "What the batters wanted was someone to Are them fast and straight down the alley so they could bust two or three and feel that they were primed to hit the onion out of the lot If the opposing pitcher in the game also pitched them fast and straight down the alley." . Another big-league stunt that was new to Suds was the managerial custom of selecting pitchers on "hunches." Suds says Cobb worked his hunch system with great en thusiasm. "At least four times when I was supposed to pitch a game and was nicely warmed up and feeling just right," said Suds, "Cobb would glance at the bench, get a hunch on some other pitcher, and give him the balL Far be it from me to say anything against the 'hunch system.' though I must admit it was an entirely new baseball wrinkle to me. But then I was only a busher from the coast "When I was allowed to pitch my own way, the big league batters were easier for me than those in the Coast league, and that isn't in any way a boast. The reason is that they are all fast ball hitters. They break their backs at curve ball pitching, many of them, or slow balls, yet it's the sys tem to have the pitchers keep right on shoving fast ones down the alley. "Cobb gave us pitchers orders that we must always lay the first ball dead over the plate and that it must be a fast one, never a curve or a sdow ball. He said that if a pitcher curved the first one or threw a slow one, and it wasn't over, that Dut him in the hole,, so the thing to do was to put the batter in the hole by always making the first ball a fast one dead over. We weren't allowed to throw a slow ball or a curve unless we had the batter in the hole, say with two strikes on him. 'That's why I say that when I could pitch as I wanted to, those bat ters were easy enough, for they weren't accustomed to curve ball pitching and a curve or slow ball pitcher could make suckers of .them." Sutherland asserts that Jimmy Mld- dleton.'one of the pitchers who will come here from Detroit, is a curve ball hurler and a mighty good one. He wasn't at his best under the pitching rules in vogue, but Suds thinks he will be a big winner in the Coast league. Likewise he declares that Joe Sar gent, , the third Backer coming from Detroit, is a great ball player and a star at third. Sargent didn't iave much chance to show . his wares in that position with the Tigers, for when he was played at all it gen erally was at second or short, where he was absolutely lost. Play him regularly at his position. which is third base," said Suds, "and he will be a whale of a ball player. He was considered the best third sacker in the International league when he played with Buffalo before coming to Detroit." ,, Suds resilly was hit on the head and laid out near the end of last sea son when he was playing independent ball, as dispatches at the time saM, but he declares that his condition never was half as serious as it was painted. 'I was at bat in tht fifth or sixth inning," explained Suds. "The oppos ing pitcher was a big, strong busher, wild as a hawk and using the emery ball besides. There was a clump of trees back of center field that made the ball hard to follow. Well, h.t pitched me one that I lost sight of against that background. It was a fast one coming in at me, and I drew my head back, but he had used a file on the ball and It took an emery hop at the plate of about two feet. That ball caught me In the temple and knocked me flat. "I got up and a couple of doctors looked me over and told me I'd better go home" and to bed. Like a fool, I pooh-poohed the idea, pitched the rest of the game and won It, and batted twice more and made a hit each time. But when I was taking my shower after the game I keeled over. "That crack on the temple caused concussion of the brain and blood clots and about everything elso. For three days I was semi-panalyied on one side and couldn't see out of my left eye. That was due, of course, to the blood clots. Then that all cleared away and ten days after I was hit 1 pitched another game, the last one of the season. The Injury has not bothered me in the least since. "I had an ulcerated tooth pulled, too, and since then I have been feel ing better generally. The dentist said it had been ulcerated probably for years. I'm going to have a couple more teeth yajiked and my mouth put in tip-top condition, and I believe 1 will be In better shape than I ever have been." , After he was blacklisted last sum mer by Judge Landis for playing in a game against a pitcher on the ineligible list and incidentally Suds says he had no idea that the pitcher was ineligible until the game was almost over Suds pitched Independ ent ball, and won 20 out of 25 games. Last winter he went to work in the. Hupmoblle factory as a tester of brakes. He brought wKh him to try out with the Portland club a young pitcher named George. Banks, who; Suds says, is a cinch to make the Portland pitching staff. Banks is a husky 180-pounder, 21 years old, 5 feet 11 inches tall, who flings right handed. He won 30 out of 34 games pitched for independent clubs around Detroit, 15 of his victories coming in succession. Sutherland and Banks will lead the procession of Portland ballplayers south. They start tomorrow for a hot springs near San Jacinto, Cal., for a week's work before the- main Beaver gang opens training at Pasa dena March 1. Phone your want ads to the Ore gonian. Main 7070.

(Special.) The most ambitious baseball schedule of a Whit man team in years has been lined up for the coming spring. The Whitman nine will play 21 games . In 33 days. Eleven of the contests will be played at home, with the other ten on trips into Oregon, Idaho, and throueh Washington. The Whitman schedule will open April 2S-29 against the University of Oregon at Whitman. Two days later the Oregon Aggies will oDnose Whitman at Walla Walla'in a game May 1. Although no official call has yet been issued, several candidates are out tossing the ball around. The weather Is yet too uncertain and the ground too wet for turnouts, and Coach Borleske is occupied with the basketball hoppers. Knudson, Sher wood and Gloomy McDowell will be the mainstay of the pitching staff; Dad Walther, catcher: Sid Rich, third: Dean, second; Raaberg, short; Com rada, Matsuno, Wilsey and Ingraham, outfielders, are other veterans who will be on deck. The loss of Garver. Reynolds, T. Rich and Tate will be felt. The refurn of Coffee has settled the full sack question. The weak spot of the nine seems to be the pitching staff. With 21 games billed In a month, Borleske is sadly in need of mound men. The Whitman schedule follows: April 29-30 Oregon at Whitman. May 1 Oregon Aggies at Whitman. May 6-8 Idaho at Whitman. May '10-11 Idaho at Moscow. May 12-13 Washington State at P.ull man. May 15 Oregon Aggies at Corvallis. May 16-17 Oregon at Eugene: May 18-19 Willamette at Salem: May 20 Multnomah club at Portland.

Y" Feb. 20. Four world's records were shattered in the international Ice skating cham pionship here Saturday. Arthur Staff of Chicago, and Ed mund Lamy of Saranac lake, skating a dead heat, broke the two-mile record ot five minutes and 48 seconds by three full seconds. The former record was made 12 years ago by Lamy at a meet in Cleveland. Staff broke his own record for the 440-yard dash by one-fifth of a sec ond, skating the quarter in 27 sec onds flat. Miss Gladys Robinson of Toronto, international woman amateur cham pion, broke both the 100-yard and 120-yard dash records. She skated the century In 11 2-5 seconds, or three fifths of a second faster than the world's record. On Wednesday Miss Robinson broke the 220-yard record at Saranac lake. At that time It was 23 3-5 seconds. She skated It in 23 1-5. Today she clipped a- full second off that time, finishing in 22 1-5 seconds. At the end of the first day Arthur Staff, dethroned as national cham pion In Saranac lake last week by Everett McGowan, was leading for the international title with 85 points. Lamy was second with 45; Bobby Mc Lean of Chicago, former world's champion, third with 30 points, and Morris Wood of New York, fourth with 20. . St. Louis Nationals Leave. ST. LOUIS, Feb. 20.

Rival Lightweights Clash Tomor row Night in 1 0-Round Main Event at the Armory. The railbirds who have oeen keep ing close tab on the daily training sessions of Bobby Harper and Joe Welling, the rival lightweight battlers who clash in the ten-round main event of tomorrow night's boxing card at the armory, concede the Seattle boy an excellent chance with Welling. Welling Is a polished ring veteran and still a serious contender, but Harper is a fast, coming youngster, who will not be denied. Harper has been showing more stuff in the gym nasium In the last week than at any time he has worked out for a fight here. Bobby has always depended jnore or less on fighting at close Quarters to put him over. Now he seems to have developed a different style of left-hand attack that is im possible to avoid. He is becoming a long range fighter as well as an ln fighter. Harper Is quick to learn and has a good fighting head. When Eddie Shannon beat him in Seattle several years ago by using a ripping upper cut delivered at close quarters. TODAY'S SPORTS CALENDAR. Portland.

Bobby Harper fights Joe Wel ling at ' armory, ten rounds, Wednesday night, Sportsmen's show opens at auditorium, 2 to 10 o'clock P. M., Wednesday. Hunt club chase at Garden Home, Wednesday morning, 11 o'clock. Harper at once learned how to use the selfsame blow and has been using it ever since with effect. Harper really does- it better than Shannon. The latter's punch re sembles a foul blow with the heel of the glove half the time, but Harper's damaging uppercut is an absolutely clean punch and has never been questioned. Harper has picked up and stored away in his 'head the best points of all the boys he has fought or worked with In the gym. When he faces Welling the fans' will see the best northwest lightweight that has bat tled an eastern topnotcher since Johnny O'Leary fought around Se attle. Welling is a very deceptive fighter. Like Harper he has no bulging muscles, 44-inch chest, exceptionally broad -shoulders, or any of the usual marks of a fighter. His best punches are delivered coming in or going out of a clinch. At long range Welling is better than the average boxer, but his most telling punches are short rips to the body or head. The eastern star is in great condition, having been here almost a month working for the fight. The bout will be a real test of Harper's ability. All Macke, the boy whose rapid rise in local fistic ranks has been the talk of the year, will make his first start since his ten-round victory over Freddie Williams, in the semi final bout tomorrow night against Mike De Pinto. Mike is another youngster who Is making a bid for featherweight honors. The better the boy he fights the .better De Pinto seems to go. In Macke he is biting off a husky chunk but seems confi dent enough. Three other bouts round out the card. Eddie Gorman and George Burns .will meet in a return setto of six rounds In the special event, Tommy McCarthy will tackle' Neal Campbell an4 Fr-ankle Webb will box Puggy Walters In the opener. Mc Carthy,' who gave the fans a thrill by taking a count nine times in a match with Jack Davis, has decided to cut out the southpaw milling and will "make his- debut as a reversed fighter against Campbell.
