Philadelphia, where the woman's Na tional championship matchea have been held for the paat few years, la also "open to engagement." In part the letter follows: . "Our purpose Is to Inform you as to the claims of the Point Jodlth Country Club, as a place to hold the National tournament. The tennla committee of thla club la In possession of Informa tion which leads them to believe that the ail-comare tournament will not be held at Newport this year. We believe that we offer an unequaled list of at- tractlona and accommodations for the players In this tournament, and. there fore, are entitled to consideration, rropeeltloai la Extensive. "The proposition which we are pre pared to make to the national Assoua- tlon Is as follows: First, the use of our clubhouse, tennis courts and golf links free of chares during; the time of the tournament, and for a week before hand, if desired; second, reduced rates at all the hotels at Narracansett pier; third, entrance fee to the Casino (ad mission ordinarily $1): fourth, the use of the Narragansett Pier reading room. the local (itnUemaa'i Club, free of charse. during the time of the tourna m.nt: fifth, free bathhouse and suit during the time of the star of the entrant. - - -We propose to" add to this, free transportation from the center of the town to the club and return, running a bus Una back and forth. We are ne " jrotlatlng with the Point Judith Polo Club la the effort to make an agree went by which the entrants In tha tournament will have free admission to their grounds at any time, enabling them to see polo matches every aay it thev so desire." The letter then concludes with a re quest for tha club's proxy If a repre sentative of the Portland organisation Is not personally at the meeting, which ' Is to be held February 9. according to n call which baa just been Issued from the office of Secretary Hosklns of the National Association. From all appearances It Is likely that Champion Larned will be the next pres ident of the United States National " Lawn Tennis Association, as President James Dwlght. who realdes In Boston, has declined absolutely to be a candi date for office. As several clubs have voiced their ' sentiments in favor of Larned. It la most probable that ha will be elected, tor he Isn't yet In America to enter protest, though he may use wireless If he finds out It Is the only chance to save himself. Several Important matters are to come before tha organization at tha big meeting February . but the most Im portant Is trie ranking of players, elec tion of officers and choosing the place Tor the next tournament.

According to the latest word from New Zealand. Champion Larned very much opposea tha view of Harry Wald.

Anything from a mother hubbard to a dress suit and a silk hat Is permissible to this oscillating satellite of the col lege sporting world. He must scintil late, flash and glow at the same time and he is assisted materially In this by the cut of his trousers. A Yell Leader bears the same rela tion to football that a pig does to Its squeal. NO pig. no squeal. No Tell Leader and no football worthy of the name.

Rooting Part of Game. From a minor result of a victory or a good play, organised rooting has come to be a cause and a part of the game It self. Men once cheered good plays from enthusiasm over them and from admiration of the player. When "col lege spirit" came Into vogue in its new meaning followers of football, crew, track and baseball began to cheer be cause of loyalty to their Institution and It soon became a matter of good form to cheer louder than the man under op posing colors. There was so much difference of opinion as to what wa-a good time to cheer, when there was nothing but loy alty to cheer over, that a young man, who passed his Sundays at church and had for years watched the undulating limbs of the choir director, conceived the Idea that a musical director might be the solution of the cheering prob lem. Thus began the beginning of the modern Cheer Cxar. Now there Is scarce an Institution that does not have Its organized yelling department to dispense the right kind of noise at appropriate times.

ORGANIZED GAME IS URGED Suggestion Made That National Com mission Take Charge of All Ring Katohea and Forever Bar All Fakers Thompson Confident, ttv TOM 8. ANDREWS. ""MTLWAUKEE, Wis., Jan. 30. (Spe cial it seems almost an impossi blllty to keep the boxing game free from allea-ed scandal, no matter wheth er there Is any truth to such reports or not. A few years ago tne ooiihb world was startled by accusations .j. w . Jak O'Brien, of Philadel phla. In which he said he had faked certain bouts witn proniiunui "uDi Some of his statements were Incorrect, but ha tried to make It as sensational as possible, and In doing so did not stick to facts. For instance, he said he had agreed to let Tommy Burns stay six rounds with him In Milwaukee, when the truth nr the matter was he could not help himself, for It was In that bout that Tnmmv became convinced he could whip the Phlladelphlan In a longer to-fit Ha areued with Burns over the weight question for three hours and finally showed that ne reaiiy coma An th . miaaie-weiarni limit ui pounds. There was absolutely no rea son for Vlther one to fake In that con test, and . they didn't, but It sounded fine In the articles which Jack per mitted to go out, Corbetf Statements Crude. Now James J. Corbett and Jack Johnson are having a war of words in tha nanera. Corbett attacking Johnson because he does not defend his title of champion for reasonable purses and the latter coming back at him with the claim that Corbett and others tried to get him (Johnson) to fake a fight with Al Kaufman and Tommy Burns for 2100,000. Johnson makes affidavit to the effect that Corbett. and Harry Frazee-. of Chicago, approached him after the Beno battle with Jim Jeffries. It Is hard to believe that a business man like Frazee. a man who has been mixed ud In big theatrical deals, shoald stoop to such dealings In the boxing game. Harry Frazee really Denevea that Jeffries could defeat Jack John son and he felt so confident that he had planned a world's tour for the big fellow In case he whipped the colored man. Up to the day before the fight Frazee was sure Jeffries wouia win. as be had shown splendid form, but two days before the big contest Jeff began to go stale and the day betore the battle Frazee lost heart. He had spent over 15000 making arrangements for the tour, but at tnis junoture re marked to roe at Jeffs training quar ters: FTasVe Oat of Heart. Tom, I don't feel quite right on Jeff todav. and for the first time. I do not care about the tour and would gladly forfeit the 25000 I have spent If only Jeff could whip that black man." That did not sound like a man who was trying to have Johnson fake fight or anyone else. The boxing game gets some pretty hard raps, but it seems the hardest raDS come from the boiers themselves. And still tbey expect to sit around and have promoters offer fabulous sums for them to fight for. There should be a National commission to handle the boxinar affairs, the same as in baseball, and when men connected with the sport are found faking or being connected with anr crooked work they should be forever barred from the game. It may take some time, but It will come in the end. the legalizing of the sport, the same as other branches, and then It will be possible to protect .It the same as In baseball, racing, etc Cyclone Johnny Writes. Cyclone Johnny Thompson, of Syc amore. 111., who sailed for Australia last October, writes from the land of tha Southern Cross that he Is located safely in Sydney, at the old training camp and enjoying nimseii gTeauy. flan Johnnv: "Friend Andrews: Just a few lines thla time to let you know that we ar rived safely and found everybody well. We had a delightful trip across tne Pacific and my wife and children had the time of their lives. "There was an Immense crowd at the docks to welcome me back again, and they certainly gave us a fine reception. It was like coming home. I obtained training quarters at the old place in waverlv. where Jimmy Clabby and I located before wo left here a year ago, T have a fieht on with Bandman Rice, the English Hgnt heavyweight, but I am giving away considerable weight. (Since this was written word came that Rioe was given tne aecision over .i nan ny on points). "I im matched to meet Dave Smith, BAIXtX, ROSA KI.EI", ANNA BUCK AND HAZEL HENRI'S. my old opponent, again, and this time I expect to turn the tables on him. You. know he was the only man to get a decision over me while I was here. After I meet Smith I will be ready for any ot them. Sam Langford Included, and don't Imagine that the negro is to have a snap. I will keep him busy, and he won't need to look for Jack Johnson. "The .boxing game Is booming here, and big crowds turn out at all the shows. Clabby drew big with Smith. You can also tell those middleweight! back home that when I return I will meet any or all of them, for I still claim the title at 158 pounds, ringside, the weight I beat Billy Papke at when I fought him here. They never cov ered my J1000 forfeit In the States while I had it up, but challenged after I sailed for Australia. Vwell. I will give them a chance when I return. Best re gards to all. Johnny." Fencers to Go to Olympiad. NEW YORK, Jan. 20. (Special.) America will be represented at the Olympic games In Sweden next year by a fencing team. This will be the first time In the history of the tollmen that the United States has sent a team to compete against fencers from other countries in a meet of this character. The Amateur Fencers' League of America Is back of the move, and the chief spirit is Dr. Graeme M. Ham mond, president of the National asso ciation. Before the team Is selected a series of bouts will be held at the New York Athletlo Club. These series of bouts will determine the makeup of tha team. INTEREST IS TOO LAX JOHNSON-FLY"X SIATCH VTIL NOT DRAW CROWD. When Black Champion Met and De feated Jeffries on July 4, 1910, Situation Took Xew Torn. NEW YORK, Jan. 20. Special) If the promoters of the proposed John-son-Flynn bout, scheduled for decision somewhere In Nevada next July, are of the Idea that the contest will ap proach in popular Interest the Reno battle they are likely to have an un pleasant awakening within the next few months. Viewed from any angle except that of the negTO champion the match appears to be one that holds forth little financial or spectacular re turn. From the evidence available at the present time Johnson's ring career may be said to . have reached its cli max when he met and defeated Jeffries on July 4, 1910. The situation that made it necessary to resurrect a re tired champion after almost six years of absence from the pugilistic arena has changed but little since that date. Scores of "white hopes" arose with the downfall of Jeffries, -but without exception there Is not one who today is In a position to give real battle to Johnson. Al Palzer and Carl Morris, the two most promising of the new heavy weights, are far from being ready to face the black lord of pugilism. Tom O'Rourke, adviser of Palzer, and Tex Rlckard. who considers the Iowa boxer a most promising ring man, agree that at least fully two years must elapse before Palzer will have the experi ence necessary to cope with Johnson. No Money in Black Match. The title holder has shown a disin clination to meet pugilists of his own color In the ring, but has always been frank in stating that this was be cause there was no money in such a match. Rlckard and other-shrewd pro moters hold similar views. Johnson's rise to the position he now holds was an exceedingly hard struggle and he Is fully determined to reap the bene fits now that he is In a position to dictate. He has repeatedly stated that he was ready to defend his title for a guaran teed sum of $10,000. This was the price set by Tommy Burns when he defended the championship against Johnson, and the negro has often said that Burns, and not he, fixed the price for such a bout to a finish and there was no reason for breaking the pre cedent established in the Australian battle. Thus it came about that the pro moters pf the latest match were forced to give Johnson $31,000, training ex penses and one-third of the moving picture profits to induce the heavy weight title holder to sign. Flynn's share was not announced, but it Is certain that the "forlorn hope" will not reap heavily by this secret agree ment. Neither is there reason to be lieve that the promoters of the bout will enter the millionaire class via this route. rtgbt Receipts 276,775. The paid attendance at the Johnson- Jeffries battle was 15.768 and the gross receipts 1276.775. Tha admission charge ranged from fo to S50. No such bonanza can be expected at the con test next July. It was estimated that 6000 spectators from east of Chicago witnessed the Reno battle. Not 600 would travel to Nevada to see John son and Flynn meet. Any point that might be selected in Nevada for this bout would be approximately 3000 miles from this city. The round-trip railroad fare to- Salt Lake City, with berth. Is about $130. Local rates over the Nevada roads are 3 cents a mile. Such a trip from New York with incidental expenses would cost close to $200. Including a seat at the ringside. Very few Eastern pugilistic followers would care to pay that sum to see Johnson and Flynn battle. Neither Is it likely that the Pacific Coast devotees of the ring sport would travel In large numbers to see such a contest. A gathering of 12,000 spec tators from the territory adjacent to the ringside would be an extraordinary attendance and an average admission charge of $5 about all that could be secured. The real profits would come from the movlng-plcture receipts, and if such should prove the case, John son can be counted upon to furnish a neat bit of acting in return for his $31,000 and film perqulsltles. 'OUTLAWS" ARE NOT AFRAID Columbian League) Will Fight Trust With Sherman Act if Necessary. ST. LOUIS, Jan. 20. Organized base ball will be fought under the Sherman anti-trust law if it attacks the new Columbian Baseball League, according to John T. Powers, president of the new organization, who is here today. "We are not fighting capital with capital, and don't Beek a fight with any person or combination," said Pow ers. "On the contrary, we have the statutory right to exist and compete with the "baseball trust," and we intend to take advantage of our rights. We have the Sherman anti-trust law at our disposal if we are attacked. "We have most of our players lined up, and will be in a position when the season opens to give high-class and popular-priced baseball." Penn Baskct-Tossers Win. FHILAPKLPHIA. Jan. 20.

EXHIBITION DUE JANUARY 29 Athletic Show, Fourth Annal Affair, Promises to Be Unusually Inter estlng Pantomime Baseball Game Is Novelty In Itself. The fourth annual exhibition of tba Portland Turn Vereln is to be held on Monday, January 29, at the Heilig The ater. AH of Professor Genserowskl's pupils, from the six-year-olds to the women's and men's classes, will do various stunts illustrative of the Ger man system of physical culture on the stage that evening. One of the great est features will be the two teams, the women's and the men's, which won the first prize at the recent congress at Los Angeles. The overture to the regular athletic show will- be a selection from "Tann hauser," given by the Choral Society of the Turn Vereln. This band of sing ers Is a treat all by itself and has al ways enjoyed a good share of the ap plause at the former exhibitions of the club. One of the new events will be a pan tomime basebal game. All the move ments used In a full-sized baseball fray will be portrayed by a band of little fellows whose ages range from 6 to 11. This is an entirely original Idea of the club's instructor, who believes that the motions of the National game make the best kind of physical exercises when applied to Indoor work. Difficult steps will be executed by a troupe of girls, the oldest of whom are 10. The floor they will use will only be about six inches wide and be rather unstable, as it is the regular balancing board. The Gilbert system of fancy stepping will be portrayed by the same women's class which made a name for Itself at the Los Angeles tournament. The men's prize team will have a wand drill. Boys younger than 10 and the Junior men's classes will do apparatus work. The little fellows will perform on the hanging poles, while one section of the juniors will perform some rather dif ficult whirls on the horizontal bar. Another Bectlon of the same division will work with the parallel bars. The receipts from the affair are to be used In defraying the expenses of a team which will represent Portland at the next Congress of American Turn Verelns, which will be held at Denver In 1913. The original pennant whloh Walter McCredle brought home with him for coming out ahead in the Pi- 8iflo Coast League the past year will e on exhibition during the baseball exercises. GUEASOX TO COACH SOLELT Sox Engage Smiling Flayer aa "En ergy Man" of Team. CHICAGO, Jan. 20. (Special.) When the good-natured face of "Kid" Gleason is seen on the coaching line for the Chicago American League team this season It will be the Inauguration of a new custom In baseball. The smiling player, who was once among the best of the major league stars, has been engaged as the "energy man" for the Sox. It is not expected that he will do much playing, but It is possible that he will be able to get in the game on a pinch and bat the ball now and then, it the occasion should arise. He knows professional baseball so thoroughly that he will be valuable as a teacher for some of the younger play ers of the team. More than that, he will be able to take his turn on the coaching line and handle the base runners. Often these situations arise in a ball game where It Is more than handy to have a player of experience at third base to direct the runners properly. This is an item in which Gleason should prove his efficiency. A good base-runner himself, he Is also endowed with the faculty of handl'ng men on the lines In the way that they should go, and quite frequently It hap pens that correct coaching at third base means the gain of a run. The position which Latham has held so long with the New York National League team has been something on the order of that which has been planned for Gleason In the season to coma. It has been the theory of more than one baseball manager that a clever man with a great deal of personal magnetism can go further toward keeping a team In act'on than a very capable player, who is almost perfect in his own game, but who lacks the Initiative to bring . out the best in the players who sur-1 round him. If the fashion -which has been set by the New York and the Chicago clubs -is to spread in the future, a good "energy man" will be as much an ac cessory to a team as a good utility player. The new departure will be watohed with Interest by some of the old ball players whose ability to '-Jolly'" their fellow players has not flagged, even If their physical standard Is not quits up to what it may have been In the past. Hogan Begins Training. SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 20. "One Round" Hogan moved his trunks across the bay to San Rafael today for two weeks more of full training before meeting Tommy Murphy in this city.
