last Tuesday night and Edgar E. Frank,
Frank E. 'Watklna, Charles E. McDon-
II. Martin T. Pratt and A. It Allen
were chosen members of the board to
succeed Edgar K. Frank, George W.
McMinan, J. R. Rogers, E. E. Morgan
andH .C. Campbell, .Frank being the
only member of t:ie retiring board to
stand for re-election. The new direct
ors, together with the six holdover
members of the board, will meet next
Tuesday night and elect the president.
vice-president, secretary and treasurer
of the club. Treasurer Hal Ra sen and
Secretary Irving Kohr will undoubted
ly be re-elected, but the offices of pres-ldent--and.
vice-president will be filled
by hew men. for President George W.
McMillan, whoiinjr occupied that posi
tion so ably during the past two years,
retires -frem the board, as does - Vice
President H. C. Campbell.
Mention of the retirement of Mr. Mc
Millan recalls the great work that has
been accomplished by this highly ca
pable official during his two years'
tern as president of the club. It can
be safely, stated- that no other presi
dent of the club has enjoyed such en
thusiastic support and complete confi
dence of the members as has he. The
whole-souled and energetic manner In
which he took up the battles of the
club has earned htm the confidence and
respect of not only the members of the
Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club, but
of all Portland and Oregon besides, for
as president - of ' the splendid club Mc
Millan worked on the principle that
whatever accrued to the success of the
institution also benefitted the city and
state as well.
McMillan'- Work for Club.
The' "Multnomah Club" Is. now one of
recogniiod Institutions of Oregon. Since
hi Incumbency George McMillan has had
In view ; tlie purchase of the additional
property to add to the conveniences and
jrxandeufi of the stadium of the Multno
mah. CItrh.' and oh his last night as pre
siding, officer of the club, had the satis
faction of. hearing the gathering pf club
members unanimously Indorse his propo
sition. President" McMillan has served
the Multnomah Club ably." and the club
owes Jirm a lasting debt of gratitude for
the splendid battle he waged, for the
most part, single handed, in his effort to
persuade the members that the additional
property was a much needed addition to
the plant of -te - Multnomah Club. His
services hi-an athletic-line -are too well
known -for repet'tion.- His work as an
executive'will lm;ter long In the memory
of " tire club members,"" both young and"
old.i for; It stands for prosperity and pro
gress., as' well as for the future of the
younger generation. '
Mr. McMillan retires from active par
ticipation In affairs of the club as far
. as an official capacity. is concerned, but
he will always be with the organization
In spirit,.-. His retirement Is due to his
buslnetts 'connect icms, . for " he " has found
that he ..is unable; to spare-the time re
quired' as u. director of. the club, and the
club members agreed that his wishes In
this matter should, be respected.
Speculation Is now rife as to whom the
trustets, or directors, as the board Is
styled.. wihU select; to- 'take the place
vacated -' Mr.- McMillan. - -Edgar. B
Frank has, been -prominently mentioned,
but yesterday . Mr.. Frank .issued the fol
lowing statement: "I do not believe I
am old enough to fill such a responsible
position, and furthermore I shall decline
to be considered for the - reason that I
feel that the -club has honored me much
more thari'.I deserve-' The man for the
presidency of this club" should be an older
head, than ?nd' I respectfully decline
all such consideration' al this time. Per
haps. In later years, should the club
mi tubers desire my services in this capa
city 1 "may consider It. but not now. I
believe the presidency of the club would
better be in the hands of George W.
Simons or Frank B. Watkins, both of
whom are highly capable men."
Simons or Watkins for President.
The mention of the names of these two
men- by Mr r?ank indicates that either
of them is likely to head the club during
the ensuing year. George W. Simons is
eminently fitted for the place and was
president ef the club one term before. He
has always been a most progressive mem
ber, .and during his several terms as a
memaer of the Board of Trustees, has as
sisted ably In the upbuilding of the splen
did athletic Institution. Mr. Simons says
that he has not considered the possibility
of his being chosen president again.
"This- Is all news to me," said Mr.
Simons yesterday, "and I must say that I
would . appreciate whatever honor the
clubmen desire to extend .nie, but I really
believe the office 'should go to someone
else, for this is an honor I have once held
and I think It should be passed around
wher Hie occasion offers. However,
whether elect! or not. I shall work-for
the best interests of the .cluo of which I
am proud to be a member. -
Frank E. Watkins. who is also promi
nently mentioned as a possibility in the
selection of a president next Tuesday
night, seems to be second choice to Mr.
Simons. In fact, he himself Mates that
Mr.. -Simons is. his choice for the presidency.-
and unless it Is declined by him.
Mr. W atkins, will not be a candidate.
Frank . Watkins is -probably better versed
In athletic records than any other member
of thff club, and. as he is one of the most
enthusiastic workers in the Interest of
organization, -and as well possesses con
siderable executive ability, he will serve
the club well as a trustee, whether hon
ored with the pres'dency or hot.
When- th new officials- are chosen and
the new directors commence to work with
the holdover board the Multnomah Ama
teur Athletic Club" will commence another
record-breaking era In Its history.

PREPARE FOR TRACK
Athletes Begin Training for
Outdoor Games.
GREAT INTEREST IN SPORT
Portland St-liools Are Expected to
Have Better Tennis Than Ever
Before Season .Will Open
- at- Columbia Gym.
Within the. net two or .three weeks
baseball players will not be the only ath
letes in training, for, all the field and
track exponents and ambitious cham
pions at printing, hurdling, hammer
throwing and similar sports will be lim
bering up preparatory to the coming sea
son. More Interest" will be displayed In
field sports during the coming season
than ever before in the history of ath
letics ' in America. Toung athletes
throughout the country will take up
training with new enthusiasm because
of the splendid showing of the Ail-American
team at the Olympic games in Lon
don last July.
It is the spirit of determination that
ugurs well for the future of America's
supremacy among the world's athletes.
although last year s victory also served
to stimulate the athletes of foreign coun
tries into renewed endeavors.
The Portland Interscholastlc League is
already at work laying plans for the sea
son and the Grammar School League
will be on hand with renewed vigor this
year. The success of the latter organiza
tion last year assures regular competi
tion In the future.
Among the Interscholastic League,
which comprises the East Side and West
Side high schools. Portland Academy,
Hill Military Academy. Columbia Uni
versity and the Allen Preparatory
School, the young men. are taking up
light training stunts. This league prom
Ists to produce a number of crack ath
letes this season, for each institution
possesses good material in the junior
division and these lads are anxious to
show what they can do.
The fact that a challenge has been re
ceived from the Lincoln High School, of
Scatttle, is an added incentive to the
league, for each team Is now anxious to
get a crack at their rivals from the
North. A meeting will undoutbedly be
arranged for the early part of the sea
son, and Portland, under the circum
stances, can easily guarantee the Seattle
school the expenses of the trip.
Columbia University, which will also
compete In the Inter-meet when that
Is arranged, is now preparing for the
big annual Indoor field and track meet
which will be. held in Columbia's monster
gymnasium about April 1. The date of
thismeet will be announced as soon as
the University of Oregon and the Oregon
Agricultural College can agree upon a
day. . As matters stand at present the
Eugene team wants one week and the
Corvallis Institution wants another, and
Columbia is awaiting an agreeable reply
to a compromise date suggested recently.
. With all these field and track events
in sight, it Is plain that the young ath
letes of Portland and vicinity are going
to have plenty of opportunities for com
petition during the coming season.

ROLLER IS MATCHED
Signs for Four-Round Bout
With "Boomer" Weeks.
YOUNG CORBETT REVIVIFIED
Touted to Eight Battling Nelson, but
Story Savors of Overenthusiasm.
Jerfries Still in Calcium
. - Glow of Interest.
BY W. J. PETRAIN.
Dr. Benjamin Ftanklln Roller, of Seat
tle, erstwhile heavyweight "champion"
wrestler, and now aspirant for similar
honors in the prize ring. Is reported to
be matched for a four-round engagement
with "Boomer" Weeks, a Spokane scrap
per of more or less, principally less
prominence. The "Boomer," a few years
ago, was touted as the coming champion,
but some one got to him in time and
prevented him from becoming a chopping
block for Jim Jeffries, and ever since
that time he has contented himself with
dealing in Spokane real estate, which. In
cidentally is much more profitable than
the fighting game was at that time, or is
at the present time, unless the scrap
per possesses the "get-the-money" pro
pensity of a Tommy Burns.
According to reports emanating from
Spokane, this scrap is a sure-thing go.
Weeks has annexed his signature to the
contract, and Roller has followed suit,
and the promoters actually have the
nerve to announce that the bout may
take place in the tabernacle recently
vacated by Rev. Billy Sunday and his
flock of evangelists. ,
Several Eastern scribes, evidently over
enthusiastic at the prospect o.f the boxing
game's gradual Tevlvitteation, are pick
ing up all of the ancient champions and
restoring them upon the pedestals- they
once occupied. The latest and probably
most impossible of the restorations at
the hands of the scribes is that of Young
Corbett, who is slated for the champion
ship now held by Battling Nelson. All
this halo casting and laudation has been
brought about because the "Broadway
bum" has licked a couple of alleged live
ones somewhere down' New Orleans way.
In New York last Summer Billy Roth
u ell. or Young Corbett, as he was known
In . the ring, was a perpetual nuisance to
every one who hailed from the Pacific
Coast. Unless the unwary was wise
enough to dodge the issue, or better still,
dodge Billy, a "touch" was in order, for
the Denver lad was always In need; of a
feed and at times the plea was that his
room rent was over-due, and of course
he had to sleep, although no one would
belleve it who was cognizant of the hours
he kept. For Young Corbett, be It known,
graced the "great white way" as long
as there'was-a' tight burning or an indi
vidual in sight. As far as entering the
ring ;-in . his old-time form Is concerned
he is- -.'deaier" than Terry McGovern or
Joe Gans. '.
e -
James J. JeTfriea Is still In the lime
light. As the prospective candidate to
meet Jack Johnson he cannot escape the
calcium for a moment.. The rank arid
file of the fight fans seem desirous of
forcing the issue with the big fellow, and
that issue means the abolishment of the
color line, and all because an Insignificant
little braggart, who laid claim to some
thing that did not belong to him, allowed
the burly black to annex a claim to pre
mier honors to which neither la entitled
in the least.
Johnson Is reported to have started lor
I ' a
America, and in so doing he has started
renewed) activity on the part of the bugs
anxious to have him enter the ring with
the big Californian. Jeffries Is a pretty
wise, bird, and is not likely t be caught
In a net when he hasn't the implements
to cut 'his way out. So look out for the
big fellow if the Texas black com
mences spouting on his arrival home.

of the. previous matches played with
local teams. The superior speed, agility
and science of the game displayed by
the visitors marked them as the victors
from the start. The All-Californians,
composed of the star men of the univer
sity and Barbarian teams, and one man
from Los Angeles, fought desperately
and showed to advantage in the loose
play, but were outclassed in the back
field. Two long runs by Holman, of
Stanford, threatened the Wallabies' goal,
but his team mates were unable to force
the ball over for a try. The Wallabies
scored two tries and a goal In the first
half and two tries in the second.

The basketball five of the Multnomah

men simply outplayed the visitors in

stars of the contest. Dent and Fisher.
Multnomah's speedy forwards in many

scheduled to meet tho crack Los Angeles
team in a contest next Friday night. The
Los Angeles bunch has a record of

Multnomah Is anxious to add another
reversal to the string. Los Angeles, how
ever, is boasting that the lads from the
Orange belt will take Multnomah's scalp
and it Is safe to say that the game will
be well worth witnessing.
Last night's game proved that the club
has a basketball team that Is capable of
beating any record set by any other club
