Cenrge and his seconds claimed the verdict on the strength of the time keeper's pronouncement, but as both the referee and Williams had left the ring, the honor of war will go to the colored man. When Krayne and Hogan entered the ring at !: o'clock, there were about 4 psrsona present. There was very little wagering at the ringside. Several bets, however, were made at odds of 10 V with Hogan the favorite. The fight by rounda follows: Itound 1. The first three minutes of fighting favored Ifngan.

Ilogan had the better of a long siege of ln-figh:lng. which continued almost to the end of the round, when Krayne broke it np by clipping the one-round wonder with a savage right to the Jaw. Hound 4. Fravne coolly awaited rushes, and for the time lelng experienced little l-fTiculty in thwarting well-meant at. tack. Krayne soon afterward hooked his rtg'.-.l and left to tne face, but was repaid with Interest. Ilogan peppering hint with left and rtgM amashes on t!ie head and Jaw.

It wss an even round, with Krsyne constantly Improv ing. Hound t. Frayne by this time seemed to have solved Hogsn's style of attack and deftly avoided the latter"a rushes and swings. He drove a left and right with considerable force to the mouth and followed this with a terrific right uppercut to the Jaw. Hogan fought back a bit wildly and his blows were Ill-timed and poorly placed. They ex changed right awing to the Jaw and the referee had hla hands full Sep. grating the fighters.

After a long session of Inef fective fighting llogsn shot a straight right to the face with great force and this blow gave him the advantage of an otherwise even round. Round 11. Hogan waded In with tiger-like fe rocltv and almost rushed Frsyno off his feet. Frayne. however, clinched and kept In close, thereby avoiding danger. So constant were the clinches that referee Ilanlon wss a very busy man disengaging the battlers' clutches. It wss a tame and uninteresting round. Itound It?. After half a dozen clinches Frayne straightened Hogan up with a right uppercut to the Jaw. They then lapsed Into another clinching bee. during which' few blows were struck.

Spring- Norman C. Thome, of Port land Academy, made and Lincoln's delegate. Professor McKlnley, seconded the motion, whloh was carried. The reason siven by Mr. Thome for requesting- such action was that Dr. J. K. Wilson, president of the Portland Academy, thought Columbia's players too old and too large for his men to compete aitalnst. It was admit'.ej by the officials that Columbia had always lived up to the rullnirs of the ha;us and that Its players ae good at.Vfctes, fair and clean sportsmen. Sentiment Is Expressed. The sentiment was expresjed to have Columbia send In Its resignation "m medlately that the baseball and basket ball schedules may be rearranged. J. H. Bach, president of the Interscholastic Association and Columbia's delegate, at the next meeting of the league, will re fuse to acquiesce to that invltatinn. His stand undoubtedly will be ap proved by every lover . of amateur sport in the Northwest. Under no interpretation of the Ama teur Athletic Union rules, und.r wMch the local association Is guided, - is there a possible way In which the re quest can be approved. If it is based, as Mr. Thorne contends, -upon Colum bia's superiority in weight, size and are alone. If the standard of amateur athletics is placed upon the scales and directed according to weight some very puz iiing and weird sensations and complica tions will surely arise, not only in Portland, but throughout the United States. If. as Mr. Thorne and his con stituents allege, Portland Academy was handicapped In weight or will be in the basketball, what about Jefferson High School, which had the lightest football team in the league last year? If weight is to count, Columbia could protest and ask the debarment of ana jiiajra wicr in i r... I if cbr Washington High School on the ground of being outweighed in football. ' How Case May Be Solved. If Columbia's men are older than the other participants In Portland academic athletics why does not the Interschol astic Athletic Association enact a rul ing, such as In in force in Washing ton, prohibiting students from partic ipating in preparatory school athletics after they have reached the age of 21 years? Such a ruling would logically solve the entire problem. The stand of the interscholastic as sociation toward Columbia is a direct violation of amateur athletic spirit. It means, if it is carried out, that Colum bia's men must either refrain from ath letic competition with other schools, must go into professional athletics, or wait until they shall have entered col lege. ' Interpretations of the Amateur Ath letic Association's rules in no instance make room for the question regarding weight or size. If there were the slightest question of the eligibility of the Columbia men to participate In local school athletics it would be a different matter and pos sibly the league would have a legiti mate claim to ask Columbia's resigna tion, hut when there is no rule regard ing the matter it is a puzzle to see why this unheard-of action was taken. Co lumbia defies the league to show cause why she should be ousted. Until such time as the directors can show cause for their arbitrary ruling Columbia will not hand In her resignation. Columbia University has done more for amateur athletics than any other Institution In the Northwest. It has been due to the unceasing efforts, Spending large sums of money and earnest work of Columbia's committee men, that track athletics are in the position which they now occupy In the Northwest. At a very great expense Columbia University built its large out door gymnasium, wherein baseball and track events could be held. With the completion of this monster building Columbia then proceeded to promote track athletics, holding an annual Spring meet for Pacific Northwest As sociation and Portland Interscholastic Association athletes, it being looked forward to now as the opening of the annual trick season. Big Meet Is Outcome. What was the result of these 'meets? Track athletics soon gained the dis tinction of being one of the stellar ath letic attractions of schools and colleges. Then the Oregon Agricultural College and now the University of Oregon de cided to hold an annual all-Oregon In terscholastic track and-- field meet. These events-have -been the direct' re sult of Columbia's enterprise in holding these meets. Columbia donated ban ners, cups, medals and . other prizes every year and repeatedly lost money on every meet held. Until Columbia University entered the Interscholastic League In' 1905 it was a straggling, weak little organization, comprising three teams Portland Acad emy. Portland High School and Hill Military Academy. When Columbia en tered, through the - diligence of Frank Lonergan. its representative, and Hugh J. Boyd, the league became one of the factors of Northwest school athletics. In a word, Columbia has been one of the potent factors in upbuilding ama teur athletics In the state and north west. In athletic and fair play reputa tion Colombia ranks high in the North west. When Columbia entered the league It was reorganized, Columbia bringing about much of the present high standards of the league. This action has been impending f-r more than & year and is said to be in line with the policy, of Virgil Earl. Washington High School's paid football coach i.nd representative. For more than a year Karl has taken it upon him self to be the executive committee of the league, thereby becoming the dic tator of all athletics. At the recent game between Lincoln and Washing ton High School Earl, who officiated as umpire, had a wordy tilt with C-ach Schmidt, of Columbia. . At that time Earl declared that Columbia had held the "upper hand" of the league for long enough and that It was to stop. Another thing: If Portland has ah interscholastic athletic league why should it admit Vancouver High School and yet bar out Hill Military Academy, an institution within its corporate lim its? Hill was asked to resign from the league several years ago because of professionalism, which it did. If the charges were well founded, all well and good. But now that she again wants admittance Into the league and Is will ing to prescribe to the rules and regu lations, why should her request be not granted? It Is understood that a move ment Is now on foot Jo reinstate Hill should Columbia be ousted. College Player Has Appendicitis. OSWEGO. N.T., Dec. 17. R. W.

BURNS HAS TO USE CRUTCH From Lacrosse to Railroad Acci dents ex-Champion Decides Pugi listic Game Is Xot So Bad and Has Hopes for Protege. SEATTLE, Wash., Dec. 17. (Special.) With baseball absolutely on the shelf and football practically out of the way, the manly art is claiming the lion's share of the interest of Seattle's sporting fans. Pre-eminent in their respective classes, so far as this section of the country is concerned, are Jack Lester, heavyweight, and Pete McVeigh, lightweight. Tommy Burns', ex-champion heavyweight, who has Lester under his King, insist that the Cle Elum giant Is a coming world beater, who even now could make trouble for the best of the bruisers. Lceter is to fight Pete Muldoon, a local product, at Tacoma, January 10. If he does not beat Muldoon easily, his stock probably will take a slump. Lester Is matched alsj with Ed Hagen, who for merly walked a beat in Seattle. Lester had it on Hagen in a recent t-;n-round bout in Tacoma, for which neither of the fighters got much real money, owing to the disappearance of a promoter of the fight club with the gate receipts. Hagen, however, wanted a return match, s-.nd Tommy Burns, Lester's manager, think- 1: . lng it would be a fine idea to let th. people of Ellensburg see the boy from their neighborhood in action, attemr.ted to make arrangements to stage the bout in Ellensburg. Mayor Crais, however, failed to work up any enthusiasm over the affair and was unable to forget that such exhibitions are apt to be out of har'.nui:;' with certain laws and ordinances. He has therefore given it out that the fight will not be held in Ellensburg. and Tommy Is looking for another place for the match. Burns Changes Opinion. Burns' recent experiences are giving hira the Impression that as a really brutal and dangerous affair fighting Is not in a class with lacrosse and railroad ac cidents. In a recent lacrosse game be tween Vancouver and Westminster, Burns put his left knee out of commision and was forced to announce his retirement from the ring, fearing to trust the injured member in spirited action. He follows this op by getting mixed up in the recent collision on the Seattle-Tacoma interur ban, when he sprained his other knee. Now he's on crutches and is unable to attend personally to the training of his protege. Lester. "For Pete McVeigh, Seattle's scrappy lightweight. Manager Lonnie Austin has written to Battling Nelson asking for a match, to be held somewhere on Puget t 1 I "-'.Lv? s -ft In" V t t Pete McVelsh. f ; 1 y77t WW : 1 si Sound. Austin has offered the Battler a good guarantee and believes the Hegewlsch Dane may come. For his part, Austin thinks Pete can beat Nelson in his present, form, and he would like the match as a stepping stone to the lightweight crown for his rising young disciple. McVeigh showed his class in the masterful manner in which he dis posed of Chick Hudson in six tame rounds at Tacoma Thursday night, when he demonstrated that he could have won in half the time had he cared. He is' 23 years old, rugged, ambitious and, un der Austin, has picked up a sood knowl edge of boxing and ring tactics. Brlnker Out of Game? William II. (Dode) Brinker, who was purchased from Vancouver by the Chi cago White Sox, announces that he probably will never again play base ball for money. He is Just finishing hi law thesis at the University of Wash ington, and says he Intends to try to connect himself with some good firm and embark at once on his profession. "If I happen to be hardup in the Spring, it is possible that I may play." said Brinker, "but the way I feel about It now I don't think I shall." Bob Brown, who has had Brinker under his wing for three years, successively at Aberdeen, Spokane and Vancouver, thinks Dode is as good a one-game-a-week pitcher as there is in the West. Brinker also showed great form as an outfielder, batting close to .300. cover ing much ground and running bases with speed and Intelligence. The curtain will not ring down on football for this year in Seattle until the Wenatchee High School, unbeaten during the past season, and the Oak Park High School team, champions of the Middle West, come together here on the University of Washington campus December 26. Both teams are eager for the fray, and It is expected that several thousand enthusiastic bugs will be at the scene. Hackenschmidt 19 Coming. Seattle, and possibly Portland, wrest ling fans may see Hackenschmidt, tho great Russian wrestler, in action be fore many weeks. Hack Is under the management of Jack Curley, ex-manager of Dr. Roller, who is partial to the Pacific Coast, and he is eager to bring his man out this way. Local sporting followers expect to see a match hero before long between Hack and some Intrepid grappler who needs the money. Hackenschmidt would draw well. The Seattle high schools' athletic authorities are considering a proposi tion to participate next Spring in an all-coast track meet at Berkeley, under the auspices of the University of Cali fornia. Portland high schools also have been Invited to participate. ATHLETIC CHANGE IS DUE Oregon May Adopt Intra-Collegiates in Coming Year. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene, Or., Dec. 17. (Special.) It now seems probable that intra-colleglate athletics, as opposed to ihter-collegiate athletics, the movement fathered by Professor F. G. Young in a faculty resolution last Spring, are about to take definite form at the University of Oregon. A commit tee has been Investigating "the feasibil ity of such a move for several months, and it is scheduled to report soon after the Christmas holidays. This movement would Involve the es tablishment of a college conference, apart from the present Northwest Col lege Conference, to be governed by faculty representatives from each of the six large colleges of the North- W This conference, if called, will dis cuss the advisibillty of reducing the number of intercollegiate athletic games and promote the further de velopment of a system of intra-colleglate athletics. If, as is expected, the committee re turns a report with the recommenda tion that the idea be postered. Invi tations will be sent at once to the six conference colleges of the Northwest. Pugilists Seek Matches. : Sandy Dane, of Copenhagen, a mid dleweight boxer, and Kid Morrissey, a lightweight from The Dalles, are in Portland looking for matches either at Vancouver -or Astoria. Dane had ex pected to challenge the winner of the middleweight match scheduled for St. Johns Friday night, but the calling off of that affair gave him no chance to see either Fritz Holland or Jack Duarte. Morrissey is on the trail of Willie Con roy, the San Francisco lightweight, who is scheduled to meet Bud Anderson at Vancouver in the near future, and says he will accept any terms to get Conroy Into the ring.
