16 LATEST NEWS IN THE WORLD OF SPORTS 1 THHOVJtteUAWr( i - ........ NELSON'S TIRE; TERRY'S PUNCH "Britt Thinks the Dane Should Win the Battle With McGovern. IS ROOM FOR ACCIDENTS $ix-rtound Go Scheduled to Take Place in. Philadelphia Is the Topic of Convcrsatloiiiii . Pugilistic Circles. IJr .Jimmy Brill. SAX , FRANCISCO. Feb. 30. We had been 'eagerly awaiting Billy Nolan's pleasure for some weeks In the matter of the McGovern battle, and now that It is an assured fact that Nelson and "Terrible Terry" will meet for six rounds in Phil adelphia -a little talk on this battle seems in order. Though on form Nelson should be the -winner, the fight does not look like an entirely smooth sail for the Dane. As has been remarkec" several time?, six round fighting is no hls forte. The longej it goes, the bcttei for him. On Uuk otjicr Hand. McGov ern has nearly al ways been a quid- finisher. He won the championship In eight rounds and los1 It in two. He lias always hern a grcal short-distance fight er, and the distance in this case is therefore, in hh iavor. Of course. . . . ... nobody believes that McGovern is now at his best, but he seems to be pretty good. That he still has the wallop was shown when he dropped that tough little fighter. Tommy Murphy, in one round. As long as he has that he will be a dangerous man to mix up with in a give-and-take festival. According to the best disinterested in formation on the subject, Terry Is In ex cellent 'physical condition. He will be in shape to go six rounds at least at his old time speed and old-fashioned hurricane style. That means that he will be an in teresting problem for 13 minutes. alwayB allowing for a fairly even "division of lighting luck. The form of the fight, though, is Nelson. Form is upset almost as .often in fights as in races, but that Is Ihe" only way you can figure a battle. On the form of his other fights. McGovern is made for Nelson. He will not run away, and o far the Dane has generally been able to brat a man who will fight him toe to toe. On the other hand, Nelson is also made for McGovern, because the "Terror" nccms to have regained his old trick of killing everything ho can hlL There is no reason why ho shouldn't hit Nelson. If it goes to the limit Nelson will prob ably have the edge of the honors. It Is interesting, though, to figure out what might happen should the fight not go the limit For instance, Jt would be rather a unique Incident in ring history for a championship to change hands on the Issue of a six-round bout. There is al ways a chance that this may happen If Terry accidentally bumps the Battler with one of those Justly celebrated hay makers. . Considering that fact, it U evident that Nolan has not picked out a very soft spot for his man. Still, as I say, the form Li all with him. Nelson had to fight some body, as he was getting out of range of the spotlights and losing advertising. Also, Joe Gans Is camping on his trail, and this side-tracked him temporarily, at .least. Besides, Terry has done nothing really startling since he started after new honors. On the whole, it looks like a. pretty, good proposition for the cham pion's camp. I see that Delaney has decided to go on with his campaigning- of Al Kauf mann among the heavies. Ruhlin has been selected as the sacrifice to pave the way for the young- man's march to the head of the big: division. This prompt matching: of the Coast young ster against another experienced fight er came somewhat -as a surprise, fol lowing so quickly his defeat at the hands of Jack O'Brien and his victory over Dave Barry. Delaney figures that Kaufman n has learned a great .deal from these two U . . . . . ..... f .,.'. . - IT... . ....,.

''. w 'vyHL . if mi i battles and Is now fit, -for a fight with a better man than Barry. Delaney knows his -business, and since he has matched Kaufman n with the big Ak ron fighter, it is a safo bet that Kauf mann has a g-ood "chance to win. -The man who brought out Jeffries and Corbett seldom goes wrong, though he was a little hasty when he sent bis latest find at O'Brien. In this fight the Coast man will be meeting a scrap per bigger than himself. Kaufmann weighs about 13" pounds when In fighting trim, and that is all the weight a heavy needs. Ruhlin will be -probably over the 200-notch when they face each other. The fight Is all-important to both men. If Kaufmann loses he will have a long:, hard row to lioo before he can again get recognition from the best men of his division. It will be prac tically oblivion for several years. If nc wins lio will be In the hunt for the title and will be permitted to chal lenge topnotchers without fccing told to behave. Ruhlin has been in the background for a long time. He was never a world beater at his best, and time has prob ably not improved him notably. He Is a big and rather clever fighter, willing to fight and game all through. He and Kaufmann should make an ex cellent battle. I have to go to the younger man a little on the result. Joe Gans insistent claim to the light weight title and his recent announcement that he is willing to fight as lightweight champion threatens us with the old, tire some dispute about the 133-pound cham pionship when Is a welterweight not a lightweight? "We who are bored with the constant re opening of this old wrangle are suffering for the sins of our fathers. Some years ago they began the custom of calling any man who beat a champion the champion of that division, no matter what was the weight stipulated for the fight nor what the fighter happened to weigh. This pre cedent once established could not well be broken without doing somebody an Injus tice, and the result 1 the hopeless confu sion that now exists In nearly all the weight-limited divisions. The whole proposition resolves Itself to this: Is a lightweight champion the best fighter who can fight at 1S3 pounds ring sidefight at thatr weight, not make it the night before? This is entirely an impersonal argument, but if that is the correct definition of a lightweight champion, then Gans never was one, because he beat Frank Erne at a weight several pounds in excess of that limit. But. on the other hand. Gans has al ways been recognized as the champion, and so many exceptions have been made to the weight rules for the benefit of other fighters that it would be unjust to make an exception to the exceptions to take honor away from Gans. Yet It is rather amusing to hear a man solemnly claim the lightweight championship in one breath and then In the next announce that 123 pounds at 6 o'clock is absolutely his lowest fighting weight. The same sort of thing is going on In the middleweight clas?, only more so, and the feathers are in a fearful muddle. Tommy Ryan claims the middleweight ti tle, and says that 151 pounds ringside is the correct limit .for that division. One hundred and fifty-four pounds is Ryan's best weight. Jack O'Brien also claims the title, and says that ICS pounds ringside is the proper notch for mid die weights. O'Brien says, further that he can get down to JSS pounds ringside, but no lower. So there you are. According to a New York report, Charlie White has been appointed secretary to a Gotham coroner. White has been tho third man in the ring at many a great fight, and has always been popular with fighters and the fight crowd. Of course, somebody broke a speed record to remark that the job ought to suit ChBrlle. as his long connection with the ring should have made him a good judge of dead ones. From Reno comes a wild story to the effect that Al Pane Is gathering a purse for a battle between Jeffries and Jack O'Brien Reno is known to be fight crazy, but n( one wants to believe that the disease has reached the, acute stage. There is no public demand for a meeting between Jeffries and O'Brien, and until there Is the .fight will never come off for two reasons; first. Jeffries will not fight until there Is such a demand, and, second, the financial success of the bill would de pend on the Bame condition. Reno Is not big enough to ay for a 20,OX purse with out considerable -outside help. Jeffries, by the way. still insists that he has retired from the ring for good. He Is living quietly on hi ranch near "Los An geles, and "he has no further desire for the ring. He is tired f cities and Is going to live the "simple life" for the remainder of his years. Well, let's believe him. This is the champion's first retirement. (Copyright, IMS, -by James Edward Britt,) Y. K. C. A. Beets Pacific XJalvcrsltr. The Y. M.

With the Flood-Smlth-Toren-Atz-Schlaf-ly deal practically settled by the order of the league's chief executive, who issued the ultimatum to the contracting clubs that the deal shall remain as a bona fide affair, the attention of the fans and mag nates has been turned to speculating on the lineup of the different teams in the Pacific Coast League for the approaching season. Manager McCrcdle announces his team as complete, although it Is not unlikely that should he be able to secure certain men he has bad In mind during the Win ter one or two changes will yet bo made. The Portland array follows: Catchers Jack McLean and William Donahue. Pitchers Virgil Garvin. Will Kssick. 11 Cates. Elmer Calif. Cy Jerry, Bert Jones, Ben Henderson, Roy Gillespie. Charles Moore.

Right fleld-MIke Mitchell and Walter McCredie. All the foregoing players have not yet coaae to terms, as so far no agreement has been reached with Smith. Garvin. Es sick or Van Burctu but these men will .probably be In line when the gong sounds. Ferry, French and possibly Jones and Mitchell may figure In a sale or trade. Four men will be dlspoped pf from this bunch, as the manager announces that he will have 15 men at the training quarters at Stockton or San Jose, the latter place having requested McCredle to bring the Portland team there for Its urellmlnary work, and'he is thinking seriously of ac cepting their offer. The Los Angeles team, pennant-winners of the put season, will not be weakened greatly by the loss of Smith and Flood, for tbelr infield will comprise three good men In Atz, Dillon and Brasbear. and M or ley can be trusted to get another crack player to fill out. The lineup of the other Coast clubs, as announced to date, follows: Los Angeles James K. Morley. manager: Catchers Helney Spies and Bobby Ea rer. Pitchers Charles Baum. Warren HalU William Gray.

Ike Butler, who has spent moat q the Winter at a sawmill near Vancouver. Wash., where he was employed as assist ant to Manager Tappendorff. has returned to Portland for the rest $f tha off-season. Butler has -net considered any of the sev eral baseball offers he has received, ow ing to having been occupied with accounts at the mill, and yesterday started corre spondence with some of the Coast League managers from whom he has received of fers. Butler Is one of the most reliable play ers that ever wore a Portland uniform, and any club that secures his services will get a first-class man. He announces that be intends remaining on the Coast, and will not consider any .offers from the EasL Of the Coast League Clubs he pre fers this city to any In the league, but as the local manager has a dozen pitchers' on his roll already It Is not likely that But ler will sign with McCredle. and for that reason he has sent his terms to tbr of the Coast League clubs, which have of fered him a berth. In all probability But ler will be found with the 8an Francisco or Oakland dubs when the bell rings on April 10. Harry Spencer, the fast little second baseman, who was discovered in 1901 by Fred BJy. has signed to play with the TIM FLOOD. New Bcd Bmub of the 2rtlasd Tna for 5eaa ef 194. Grand Rapids team in the Central League next seasea. Ike Butler recommended Spencer to Manager John GanzeU and the Grand Rapids magnate easily came - to terms with the former Portland player. Tim Flood, the second baseman; who has been awarded to Portland, writes trcsi St. Louis that he Is delighted to be a member of the Portland team, for he Is one of the heartiest admirers of the City of Rosea among the many players who have played In this league. Flood prom ises to give his best efforts to the local team, asd'wlsfces to be remembered to his friends Ja this city. Eddie Van Buren. who will probably be one of McCredlc's flychasers again this season, has arrived In San Francisco from Southern California, where he has been spending the Winter. After spending a few days In San Francisco, Van says he intends ceming to Portland In a short time. MONTANA'S NEW FIGHTER.

NEW YORK. Feb. 10. Ten yards to be gained In three downs was the principal football reform tentatively agreed upon at a meeting of tne national Intercollegiate football rules committee In this city to day.

Jr., of Harvard, explained that none of the rules suggested either teday or at the confer ence two weeks age. had been finally adopted. The committee Is framing a set of rules covering different points of the game and. when these are all covered, the completed rules will be voted upon. The committee adjourned to meet again Sat urday.

That every player oa the kicking side shall be on side when the kicked ball touches the ground. That the question of affording proper protection for the man catching the ball be taken up and carefully defined- at the' next meeting. That one forward pass shall be allowed on a. Play, provided the ball dees not touch the ground befere being touched by a player of either side. Such a peas to be made by any man who was behind the line of -scrimmage when the ball was put In play. If the ball touches the ground before being touched by a player of either aide.

The pass shall not be received by a man who was on the line of Bcriaroage when the ball waa put in play, except for the two men playing on the ends of the line when the ball was put In play. X direct lop over the line within the space of five yards on each aide of the center shall be unlawful. Nothing was done with regard to the question of a field laboratory, but Paul Doahlel. on behatf of Annapolis, offered the Naval Academy field and its facilities for use by the committee in the matter.

No Records Broken at Intercollegiate Meet in. Boston. BOSTON, Feb. 10. The annual intercol legiate athletic meet between colleges and preparatory schools of New England, Cor nell, Princeton and the University of Pennsylvania, was held tonight. No rec ords were broken and but one tied, that of the three-legged race, the record of six seconds for E0 yards being equaled by Cohn and Bonham, representing Boston. Harvard came in for defeat at the hands of Tale. In the mile relay race Yale had things about her own way. Harvard, started. jiut to do things, but before half a dozen laps had been reeled off the Yale representa tive forged ahead, and before the last re lay for Yale started on his Jaunt. Yale was assured of victory. In the freshman race Yale again proved herself to be the goods. Although closely contested for the most part, the race was hardly ever in doubt after the blue warmed, up. By sphmdid work Dartmouth won from the University of Pennsylvania, and although the result hung In the balance until the last lap had been run the green and whits woe with yards to spare in the prettiest event of the night. The times of moat ot the races were slow, much bejqw the average of past years. Fully 5000 admirers witnessed the sport. FINNS ARE THE CHAMPIONS Win the Tug-of-War Tournament Against All Contestants. The final. night of the tug of war tour nament wltneeeed the largest crowd of the series, and incidentally the pulls were as exciting as they were short, for not one of the coatests on last evening's card lasted over three minutes. Interest naturally centered In the match between the undefeated Finnish team and the. Italian team, which was really the deciding contest of the series, and much sacculation was. indulged in as to the ability of the sons of sunny Italy- to down tho Flans who were odds on- favorites In tho contest. Captain Llswig's contingent made good and. Is the champion of the tournament with an undefeated record, for it pulled Its rivals over the mark In a trifle less than two minutes, and each man on the team was. the recipient of a neat little souvenir pin given by the ladles, in addition to the trophy offered by the tournament committee. W. A. Story. whbheia the gun on the contests, presented the trophies amid deafening applause from the assemblage. After the programme was concluded challenges were Issued by the Swedish and Norwegian teams to the winners. The other matches resulted In victories for Denmark, Nor way and Bweden, over Canada, Germany and the. United.- States, respectively. Considerable f the success of the tug of war tournament Is due to the Inde fatigable efforts of A. M. Planck, who has wprked hard to make a success of the venture. The Finnish team is composed .of the following members: A. Liswlg, captain; Theodore M. Lahtl, vico-oaptal Oscar Johnson, Jean Saari. Fred Memela, Mat Hautala, Martin Adameoa, T. A. Manner and A.

Fighting Game Gossip of Tug-of-War Tournament PLAY RUGBY GAME Portland Football Team Will Meet British Columbians. HOW THE PLAY DIFFERS Admirers of the English Sport Com pare It With That of the Amer ican. Colleges and Point Out Its Advantages. The Portland Rugby football team, whicVt practiced at Multnomah Field yesterday, was recently organized to meet the Brit ish Columbia fifteen on the return trip of that club from San Francisco, whero it will play a game with the crack New Zealand Blacks next Tuesday. The local Rugby team has been recruited from the. many admirers of the English college game who are residents of this city, and the players who are to compete In the game against the northerners will be selected from the squad that was out at practice yesterday. The game of Rugby is one of the three styles of football now being played, and Is somewhat similar to the American col lege game. for. tackling, punting and run ntng with the ball are much the same. The principal difference In the two games is-the fact that there are no llne-buckins: formations In the Rugby game, which the advocates of the sport claim eliminates much of the danger of accidents. From a spectator's standpoint, Rugby Is a much more interesting game than association or "aocker" football, for the flayers arc per mitted to run with the ball, and frequent scrimmages take place. Touchdowns and goal figure in the scor ing of the Rugby game, as they do in the American college game, except that each goal counts one and touchdowns the same, while the rate of figuring in the American game is one for the goal and five for the touchdown. t. Spectacular plays are of frequent occu--rence in this game, for It requires light, fast and agile players, who often get away with the ball and run great distances be fore being downed. The kick-off method of putting the ball in play Is another feature of the game that is like the American sport, but In lining up for the ball to be placed in play, the Rugby players are required to stand, and not permitted to kneel in the line. The op posing forwards form a circle around, the spot where the ball's progress Is stopped, and the official tosses the spheroid Into the center, and then the effort to pass the ball outside by kicking is In order. A deft punt with the toe usually sends the ball out of the circle, where It Is pounced upon by one of the players, who either runs with it or punts to some other mem bers ot his side at some other part of the field. Passing the ball from one payer to another is also permissible, but only to the rear. Penalties are inflicted for the breach of the rules, as In the local games. Captain Rylance, of the Portland team, expects to have a- good team In the field when It lines up against the British Col umbia aggregation.
