Sam Iloss and Suds Sutherland Are
Powerless to Feed Slugger
Unhittable Twisters.
PASADEXA, Cal., March 15. (Spe
cial.) Indian Jim Thorpe is going to
be the life of the Portland baseball
club. Big Jim is good for about 60
laughs an hour. Nobody has suffered
- from ennui since he joined the ciub.
Jim almost caused the severance of
diplomatic relations this morning" be
tween the ball club and the fashion
able hotel where the players are
quartered, which caters to wealthy
tourists of well-bred appetite. At
breakfast Jim ordered ham and eggs.
The waitress brought him a little
highbrow dab of ham and one lone
some egg.
"Oh, lady," said Jim, "you surely
misunderstood me. I always eat in
the plural and I asked you for ham
and eggs, not for ham and an egg. Now
you'll please give this' dish to some
millionaire and fetch me a slab of
ham and eggs E-G-G-S not an egg."
Msik Is Overlooked.
Jim got his eggs, but the episode
bothered him. He studied and stud
ied. Half an hour after breakfast he
suddenly burst out, "Gosh, I knew I
was hungry! I had to work so hard
for those ' eggs that I forgot to eat
my oatmeal mush."
Bill Klepper can afford to keep Jim
filled up on all the bam and eggs
and oatmeal the great athlete needs,
however. If Jim hits them in the reg
ular season as he began hitting them
this morning. Sam Ross was on the
slab and Sam would just as soon have
his nouse burn down as for a batter
to make a hit off him, even in bat
ting practice. Sam was really bear
ing down, but Jim hit one so hard to
right field that the ball hasn't been
recovered yet.
Suds Sutherland followed Sam on
the mound and Suds hates to have a
hit made off him even worse than
does Sam. He began shooting twist
ers and slow ones at Jim, who drew
back his big hat and crashed one
through the box that almost tore off
one of Suds' legs.
Thorpe Active Denpite Stiffness.
Thorpe' is still stiff and sore but
he is the most active man on the ball
club. If he gets to feeling mucb
better rival pitchers might just as
well prepare to work in relays when
he comes to bat. It will take about
three of them to get him out.
The apple of Thorpe's eye is hjs
Airedale dog. Tip-Top Oorang. whj
can trail bear, catamounts, bobcats
or coons. Tip-Top Oorang accom
panied Jim to the ball park this morn
ing and entertained all hands by
smelling a woodchuck or something
and starting to dig. When Secretary
Kivers interfered he had undermined
most of one end of the clubhouse,
which Rivers was afraid would fall
into the hole. Thorpe says that Tip
- Top Oorang Is a full cousin of the
Airedale dog owned by President
Harding.
No Game Played.
The Beavers didn't play a Yannigan
game today, but will go seven innings
tomorrow They will take on the Cox
Haas players again who licked them
iast Sunday, and Sunday will play
the Pasadena Elks baseball team.
After being on the sick list for one
week with "flu," Sam Hale is again
in uniform and hitting as hard as he
did last year.
. Secretary Rivers left Pasadena to
night for Portland to begin to get
things ready for the opening of the
season at home April 18.
SEALS TAKE DAY OF REST
Big Question In Camp Is Who Will

big question at the camp is. who will

Bert is no flash on his feet, but he

a line to all fields and he would prob

Willie Kamm is the best shortstop
on the Seals squad and he would just

Bell. Burger, Mack and Kelley will
all get into the games, McCredie says.
The fans will also get a line on
Cueto, Schulte and Connolly.
The weather was cold and rainy to

I'ADDOCK HELD INELIGIBLE
Sprinter "o Longer to Run Under
Trojan Colors, It Is Reported.
LOS ANGELES, March 15. Charles
W. Paddock, termed "the fastest
human" and holder of a number of
world records, will never enter an
other contest as a representative of
the University of Southern Califor
nia, according to a story the Los
Angeles Times will publish tomorrow.
The Times, quoting Gwynn Wilson,
graduate manager of the University
of Southern California, will state the
faculty athletic committee of the uni
versity decided that Paddock, "be
cause of his continued absence from
classes, w-as ineligible" to represent
the institution in future meets.
Paddock completed his course in
the college of liberal arts of the University-
of Southern California last
December, but did not receive his
oegree, as it was in the middle of
the college year. In January of this
year he registered at the college of
law. He was officially entered as a
representative of the University of
Southern California in the track meet
planned between that institution and
Occidental college here last Saturday
and which was called off because of
rain.
Two days ago Paddock announced
he would take a month's trip to
Hawaii. He completed a fouryear
course at the University of Southern
California in 3 V2 years. It is believed
that if he enters future contests he
will do so as a representative of the
Los Angeles Athletic club.
GRID STAR TOO GOOD STUDENT
Captain-Elect of Football Team
May Become Ineligible.
CHICAGO, March 15. Milton Rom-
n of Salt Lake City, captain of next
season's University of Chicago foot
ball eleven, and one of the star ath
letes of the western conference, may
not be eligible for the 1922-23 ath
letic teams, it developed today.
Strangely, Romney, if he is barred,
will be ineligible through having done,
too well in his classes.
David R. Robertson, dean of the
college of junior arts, explained today
that Romney, if he remains in school
this semester, will have so manj
credits that he will be graduated in
June. Holding a degree would make
him ineligible for athletic competi
tion. On the other hand, if he drops out
of school this semester and returns
next fall, he might be ineligible
through conference rule which pro
hibits a man playing if he has not
been in school the previous semester.
Dean Robertson said that he would
ask the conference to make a spe
cial ruling in Romney's case.

LEONARD RECEIVED 30 CENTS
AT FIRST BOUT IN BACK YARD
Total of 50 Cents Collected From Spectators Is Split With Joe Fogarty;
Uncle Is Manager.
BY ROBERT EDGREN,
Famous New York Sports Critic
BENNY
fair
Tw
EN'NY LEONARD gets pretty
money for fighting.
Twenty-five, thirty thousand.
nti.inir HkA that suits Benny, and
he doesn't object to a little more
Reminds me of a talk I had with
Benny Leonard before he was cham
pion jUst alter he made his first bid
for fame by knocking out Joe Man
dot. "Sure," grinned Benny, "I'm getting
the money now sometimes a couple
of thousand dollars for a fight. But
I didn't always get so much. -My first
fight was different. It was with Joe
Fogarty, in a back yard with a high
fence around it. My uncle was my
manager.
"We passed the hat around and
collected 50 cents from the spectators,
and agreed to split it 30 cents to the
.winner and 20 cents to the loser, and
fight until one had enough, or to a
knockout. I krocked Joe out in four
rounds. Thirty cents was my first
purse."
Benny's family never made any
strenuous objection to his selected
profession. There was some argu
ment over it just at first. Benny's
father called up Billy Gibson, who
was starting Benny as a preliminary
boxer, and asked what it was all
about.
"Why," said Gibson, "he'll learn
hew to box and take care of himself.
It's fine exercise for the boys."
"I don't care he should get enough
exercise working,", said the old gen
tleman. "It pays pretty well, too,"' said Gib
son. "A-ha. So? What did he get last
time?"
"Twenty-five dollars," said Gib.
"Telephone me when he's going to
fight again" exclaimed Benny's
father.
There's some " ballyhooing of a
Dempsey-Wills match, on the ground
that "there- is a public demand for
it." The public is more or less in
different. It hasn't any great cur
iosity over the question whether
Dem'Psey could beat Wills or Wilis
beat Dempsey. Dempsey and Wills
would be fairly well matched, phy-1
sically, and either might w?n. al
though Dempsey's past performances
in the ring entirely outclass anything
Wills can show.
Wills, for instance, recently lost
eys last night. "Shorty" Martin
wled high single game and high
total pins, with scort- of 229 and 530,
respectively.
City Authorizes Tennis Courts.
ABERDEEN. Wash., March 15.
(Special.) The city park board yes

nis club permission to build four ten
nis courts in the Eighth-street park.
Two of the courts will be of concrete
and will be only semi-public. The
other two will be of earth and will be
entirely at the disposal of the pub
lic. The tennis club will beg'n work
immediately to recruit members and
raise $1500, with which the courts
will be built.
TRACK WORKOUT UNDER WAY
Washington State Turns Attention
Toward Developing Team.
WASHINGTON STATE COLLEGE,
Pullman, March 15. (Special.)
With the basketball season ended, J.
F. Bohler. track coach, issued the sec
ond call for track this week, which
resulted in 180 aspirants answering.
For the last few weeks Assistant
Coach Jenne has been working out
the sprinters on the indoor track,
but official practice will begin this
week. Of the 180 men responding to
the call, 102 are freshmen and , 78
varsity men.
Owing to the fact that there are
only eight men on hand from last
year's team. Coach Bohler is some
what reticent over track prospects for
this year and unless freshmen of last
year develop into strong point win
ners, Washington State prospects will
be below that of previous years. In
tensive training is now under way
and much individual attention is be
ing given to men in weights, pole
vault and javelin, with the hopes of
developing new men for these
events.

on a foul to Bill Tate, and fought
Tate a "draw" when the officials in
a return match decided to ignore
foul and let the fighters do anything
they wanted to in the ring. Tate was
Dempsey's old sparring partner, and
I'empsey could flatten him whenever
he wanted to, and did it.
As for Will's- victory over Norfolk,
that shows nothing. Norfolk was good
four years ago, but has gone so far
back that he was only a "set-up" for
Wills. The bout was only a part' of
the Wills boosting propaganda, in
tended to create a "public demand"
for a Dempsey-Wills match. Every
one on the inside, from Leo Flynn
down, knew Norfolk had no chance
against Wills. ,
.Regarded purely as a contest, a
Dempsey-Wills match would be as
nearly even as any heavyweight bout
that could be arranged at present.
Personally, Harry Wills is a de
cent citizen, clean living, hard work
ing and honest. Also he's a first-
class fighter. -v It's really a pity that
any circumstances should cut him off
from a chance to become champion.
""
A story was recently spread around
the country to the effect that Jim
Jeffries would become a preacher.
The. facts were simply th-at some
preaching gent with a financial turn
of mind had a bright idea that a man
like Jeffries could capitalize his repu
tation by taking up preaching, trav
eling around the country doing a
Billy Sunday for profit.
He suggested this scheme to Jef
fries, and Jeff, with a grunt, simply
said: "Well, if I wanted to preach I
could deliver better sermons, than a
lot that I've heard."-
Jeffries, however, is the last man
in the world to think of preaching
for profit.
"Any man who would pretend to be
working for the good of mankind,"
Jim said when we talked it over, "and
who was just doing it to make money
for himself, would be worse than a
horse thief. I often feel like getting
up and telling people what I think
of all, the liars and hypocrites and fake
reformers" who are taking away our
liberties and spoiling a country that
used to be a fine place to live in.
I think any man wno would te'i
the truth about condations could pack
any na;i in the country because t.iere
are lots of people who'd like to hear
the truth for once. But that's the
only kind of preaching I know ,t
that would- be worth while."

ROUNDS AT ARMORY.

Two Other Fights of Same Limit to
Complete Triple Main Event
for Smoker on Saturday.
A ten-round bout between Mike De
Pinto and Ad Macke, who head the
list of Portland featherweights, has
been added to the .Portland boxing
commission smoker at the armory
Saturday night. There will be two
other ten-rounders, featuring Kid
Billings of Seattle and Jimmy West
of Portland in one and George Burns
of Portland and Tat Williams of Seat
tle in the other. .
Although there are plenty of local
boxers on the ground. Matchmaker
Hansen is experimenting by putting
on a semi-Seattle versus Portland
card. Williams and Billings, the two
Puget sound maulers, have, lappeared
here before. Billings lost a decision
to Pete Mitchie at the armory sev
eral months ago, while Williams gave
Eddie Gorman a neat trimming at
the armory two weeks ago.
If Saturday night's show is up to
the class of the last two at the
armory, the ring followers are in for
a treat
Two of Saturday night's argu
ments stand little chance of going
the lrmit. One is the Williams-Burns
contest and the other the West-
Billings mix. After an illness of sev
eral days Burns is back in shape. He
should make it mighty interesting for
Williams.
West and Billings Will be prac
tically of the same weight, and
against a boy of his own weight West
says he will make good. West fought
Ortega two battles, one a ix-round
draw, and in the other Ortega
stopped him in four rounds. In both
fights West was outweighed several
pounds.
De Pinto and Macke have fought
before. They recently went six
rounds to a draw at the armory. De
Pinto surprised everyone by his
showing against Georgie Brandon
last Saturday. He will be meeting a
clever boy in Macke. This match will
be a change from the slugging bees,
as both boyis are boxers, and will put
up. a clever go.
Either one or two four-round bouta
will complete the programme.
Battling Ortega and his manager,
Willie Bernstein, have left for
Omaha, Neb., where the battler meets
Morrie Lux next Tuesday night. After
the Lux bout Ortega will return to

Japanese Expert Keen Student of
Art of Self-Defense and Relates
i ,
Some Early History.
Jiu-jitsu, one of the oldest known
arts of self-defense, will be brought
out tonight for public gaze at the
Columbia hall when Terro Miyake,
Japanese world's champion jiu-jitsu
wrestler, takes on three heavyweights
and attempts to throw the trio in an
hour. Tossing tbree heavyweights in
an hour under catch-as-catch-can
rules of this country would be some
job, but to Miyake, who has studied
the science, it is only child's play or,
at least, that is the way the husky
brown man expresses himself.
There are more than six heavy
weight grapplers who feel differently
about it and at least three of them
will be on hand tonight to show
Miyake that he has bitten off a good
sized chunk when he undertakes to
dispose of three in an hour.
History of Art Told.
Although Miyake has been in Eng
land and this country many years he
still has great difficulty in speaking
the English language. However,
through the aid of an interpreter yes
terday he was able tp give several in
teresting facts about his native style
of wrestling.
According to Miyake, as far back as
200 years before Christ, the support
ers of the Japanese emperor fought
unarmed against hostile tribes, and
aided by jiu-jitsu completely defeated
them. The tribes in question carried
the arms of the day, bmt this advan
tage availed naught against the dis
concerting and often deadly tricks of
the jiu-jitsu experfs. .
Since that early peiod, says Mi
yake, the art has advanced consid
erably, although the principal tricks
have been kept secret. There are
some jiu-jitsu maneuvers that have
never been explained to Europeans or
Americans and probably they never
will be. Some of the holds would not
be recognized by spectators or even
the opponent against whom they were
being used, according to Miyake. Very
little is ever said regarding the dozen
or so death-producing grips and
blows.
Death Blows Remarkable.
These death blows are remarkable,
declares Terro. Some are delivered
on-the spine, others on the neck and
head, and two on the face. There are
almost numberless holds that tempo
rarily paralyze nerves and nerve
centers, and others that stop the cir
culation of the blood in various parts
of the body. A large proportion of
the tricks and holds introduce the
twisting of hands, arms, legs, ankles
and the neck, and many more depend
for success on the grappler obtaining
powerful leverage on arms and legs
and various joints.
Jiu-jitsu and ' catch-as-catch-can
wrestling are similar in some re
spects. For instance, all jiu-jitsu ex
perts use forms of the arm lock, the
full Nelson, half Nelson, chancery
holds, cross buttocks, arm and leg
grapevines, waist holds, leg holds and
strangles. These are the holds which
Miyake will use tonight in throwing
the three heavyweights, as he has
agreed n6t to use any of his death
producing grips.
Police Use Jiu Jltsn.
Jiu-jitsu, according to Miyake, is
used as a system of self-defense by
the policemen of Japan and also is
taught to the Japanese naval and
army officers. It is taught in the
schools, there being eight grades of
the jiu-jitsu system. After passing
the eighth grade the student is quali
fied to instruct in the art.
Ad Garloek, who is promoting the
show at the Columbia hall tonight,'
has about decided upon his three
heavyweights to go against Miyake.
Max Glover, 185 pounds; Moose Nor
beck, 200 pounds, and Tino Eino, 200
pounds, appear to be the best men
available.
There will be two preliminary
catch-as-catch-can matches. In the
first John Viedhoff will wrestle Jack
Larry in a 15-minute go, while Louis
Pergantes, Greek middleweight, will
take on Paul Kenney in a 30-minute
match.
SUZANNE IN NET GAME AGAIN
French Tennis Star Fails to Show
Best Form.
NICE, March 15. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) Mile. Suzanne Lenglen
today played her first tournament ten
nis since she .was defeated by Mrs.
Molla Bjurstedt Mallory last summer.
She was paired with Count Michael
Soumarokov-Elston, ex-Russian cham
pion, in the mixed doubles and with
Miss Elizabeth Ryan of California, in
the woman's doubles.
While the Langlen teams won both
matches. 6 0, 6 2, and 6 1, 6 1,
respectively, the French star failed
to display her best form and kept
away from the net, being content with
a back court game. She appears ta
he still short of the necessary training
for a hard singles match.

developed skill which can be acquired
through nothing but severe and costly
training and which people who ad

Dean Briggs" report was.for 1920-21.
In the principal intercollegiate sports
of that year, he said. Harvard teams
had a good share of success with the
exception of the crew, "which met a
series of defeats ending with the loss
of a close race at New London. Yale
and Harvard, which should represent
the best amateur rowing in America,
seem to have lost all claim to that
distinction; and among important col
leges Harvard was at the bottom of
the list.
"In December, 1920, the committee
considred unfavorably the possibility
'of a home and home game of football
with Ohio State," the report stated.
"It is the policy of the committee
and especially of the faculty to dis
courage distant contests. On the
other hand, western colleges are often
willing to play in the stadium, where
the guarantees are adequate."
