for
The elimination of the toe hold, sus
pension of an athlete engaging In a
match of more than 15 minutes, Intro
duction of the one-bout match and the
addition of a 175-pound class, are the
Fallent wrestling; features of the 1913
rules of the Amateur Athletic Union.
The boxers also have another class for
competition, the 175-pound or. liglit-Jeavywetg-ht
division.
The most drastic section of the new
rules for the government of amateur
wrestlers, at least s far as the North
west Is concerned. Is that prescribing
suspension for anyone engaging in a
natch of more than 15 minutes. Add
to this the elimination of the toe hold,
a. broad provision which gives the ,
referee unlimited sway, and you have
grappling revolution.
Under the rules of the Pacific North
4 west Association clubs as drafted for
Hierciuo. competitions, wrestlers are
rmtched for three bouts of 15 minutes
each,- best two In three falls to score a
victory. This rule really permits of
wrestling over an unlimited period, for
In the case of draws the men are to
tussle until a decision may be rendered.
3ut under the new ruling- no amateur
may grapple for longer than 15 minutes
In one match.
Referee May Deride.
As for the toe hold, which, along
"With the strangle, full Nelson and ham
mer lock. Is barred hereafter, the in
terpretation is left to the referee.
There Is no specific kind of toe hold;
the hold has numerous modifications.
The scope of the rule palpably is too
.broad, permitting a prejudiced official
to disqualify a contestant almost at
win.
The old rules, as well as the new, em
powered the referee to break all holds
Which endanger life or limb. Evident
Jy the purpose of the officials was to
bar all holds likely to break bones,
And they sought to protect ankle and
3c nee by eliminating- the toe hold. But
tne effect may prove discouraging in
the extreme.
In both boxing and wrestling the
17o-pound class, variously called light
heavyweight and commission weight.
bas been introduced. This class -Is
feature of the Northwest interclub
competitions, but not of the annual
championship meet.
Another poundage change Is that
from 105 to 108 pounds in both boxing
and wrestling. L,dgar Frank, presi-
cnt of the Pacific Northwest Assoc. a
tlon and Indoor athletics, chairman of
Iultnomah Amateur Athletic - Club,
-rote to the National authorities ad
vocating the dropping- of the 105-pound
- class because of the immaturity of Its
members. Recognition or tins came in
the shape of a three-pound boost, which
Is not a material advance.
Bandages Are Barred.
The wrestling and boxing weights
How are: 108, 115. 125, 135. 145. 158,
175-pound and heavyweight eight in
stead of the customary seven.
Boxers are forbidden to use band-
zes of any kind hereafter, the ama
teur officials determining- to put a stop
to the heavy bandaging in emulation
of the professional fighting. This ap
plies to han!s. arms and head.
The changes In the mafleh periods, as
touched upon before, are: Wrestling
Preliminaries, from one six-minute and
two additional two-minute bouts to de.
termine a decision If one fall Is not se
cured, to one 10-minute bout: finals.
Ifrom two six-minute bouts and one of
three-minutes, to one 15-minute bout;
boxing three three-minute rounds,
with an extra one of two minutes to
deride a draw. Instead of the two three
minute rounds, one of four minutes,
and a fourth of two minutes to award
A decision.
The wrestlers still go 10 minutes in
the preliminaries, or 15 minutes in the
finals, or to one fall, while the boxing
period is rut from 12 to 11 minutes. The
abolishment of the four-minute round
is commendable, but In the Northwest
boxing- has been in straight three-min-
tite rounds for several years.
Frank Will Awlt Explanation.
Mr. Frank has written to Secretary
Fulllvan, of the Amateur Athletic
Union, regarding the 15-niinute wrast-
Jing bout. Sevtitn !3 reads: "Any atn
Je who competes In a wrestling match
ir a longer period than the rules pre
r1be will be suspended." However,
2Wr. Frank holds that where all mem-
r-ers of an association agree upon a
different system for interclub matches,
the National ruling may be suspended.
Frank Is strongly opposed to the toe
hold section of the new ruls and will
endeavor to get a more explicit ex pi a
nation of the intention of the rule com
'mtttee on the subject.

National Trotting Association
Agrees to New District.
ENTRY FEES ARE REVISED
Salem Session Fails to Set Dates,
Owing to Uncertainty Regarding
State Fair, . but Portland
Meet Is Probability.
Turf protests and disputes in the Pa
cific Northwest hereafter will be aired
before a home tribunal. At the Salem
meeting of fair officials Friday the Na
tional Trotting Association agreed to
the creation of a new district, the Pa
cific Northwestern, and from this time
on harness affairs in the Northwest will
be run entirely separate from the Cali
fornia influences.
This drastic action, together with the
decision to give the every-heat-a-race
system a thorough trial during 1913,
conspired to make the session of horse
men at the State Capitol one or tne
most important In years. There has
always been trouble in the old Coast
district, and the appointment of a
Northwestern board to govern the new
district Is expected to be Its solution.
Both V. H. Gocher. secretary of the
National Trotting Association, and W.
H. Knight, secretary of the American
Trotting Association, were present.
Knight favored a retention of the for
mer three-ln-five heat procedure, but.
as the Northwest is controlled by the
National body. It was decreed that at
least 60 per cent of alt races in the
Northwest must be run under the
three-heat, very-heat-a-race scheme.
Another change of considerable im
portance- was voted In by the fair man
agers, that relating to the payment of
entry money by the horse owners.
Hereafter, instead of paying 6 per cent
at time of entry into the early closing
events, with another S deducted from
the winnings, only 3 per cent will be
taxed before the race, the balance of
per cent being mulcted from the
purse money. This 3 per cent, too, will
come in easy installments. 1 per cent
May 1, 1 per cent June 15 and 1 per
cent August 15.
In the late closing events the former
o-and-5 system will prevail.
This makes it much easier on the
horsemen." said John McClintock, edi
tor of the Pacific Horse Review, last
night. Mr. McClintock. A. C 1ohmire,
president of the Riverside Driving Club,
and Dr. A. J. Smith, secretary, were
the Portland representatives.
Whether or not Portland is to have
a week of racing the coming Fall is
still problematical, but the chances ap
pear excellent. No definite dates were
awarded at Salem, because of the un
certainty of the dates for the Oregon
State Fair at Salem. Mr. McClintock
believes that Salem will decide upon
the week of September 29 to October 4,
which case Portland. If the Country
Club Is still intact, will hold a speed
carnival the preceding week, Septem
ber 22 to 27.
If these dates are chosen, Portland
will have to compete with Walla
Walla, and Salem with North Yakima.
Portland, however, will be In line for
the California horses, as the Sacra
mento Fair is scheduled for the week
f September 13 to 20, under the recent
revision. Pleasanton Is billed for Sep
tember 22 to it: Santa Rosa for Sep-
ember 29 to October 4, and Fresno
October S to 11.
The prospective lineups of Js'ortn
Htnrn dates is, therefore, as follows:
Vancouver, B. C, September 1-6; Se
attle, September 8-13: Vancouver. Sep
tember (-13; Spokane, September 15-
20: Walla Walla, September 22-27
Portland, September 22-27; North Yak
lma, September 2D to October 4; Salem,
September 29 to October 4.
VEX1CE BAI.1, PARK IS AFLOAT
iiogan May Have to Seek New Field
on Which to Train.
IXDS ANGELES, Feb. S. (Special.)
From now until after the rainy season
is over the Venicft Baseball club (Ho
pan's) will have troubles all its own.
The new park at the seaside is the
main cause for this forecast.
A man coming here from Venice to
day reported that the park being laid
for the use. of the baseball team ap
pears afloat. He says the water gath
ers quickly and does not drain off,
even within a reasonable length of
time.
Some of the wood being used to erect
a fence around the grounds and for
other building purposes was afloat to
day. The ground, which has just been
freshly plowed, has caused small ponds
to be formed in many places.
It Is not so bad now, as the Venice
team does not want to do its Spring
training yet, but in March the men are
scheduled to work out on their new
diamond. As it generally rains con
siderable In March. Hogan will have a
hard time if he tries to use the beach
grounds. j
Hogan was out hunting mushrooms
today, and It was hinted that he had
visited Venice in his quest for the
edibles, but he denied this.

Cyclone Johnny Thompson Is
Gaining Weight Rapidly.
BY JAMES H. CASSELU
While the little fellows are seldom
numbered among the financiers of the
"ing, and their mills fall to figure In
he list of 10 greatest gale receipt bat
tles, more than ordinary interest is at
tached to the Kid Williams-Eddie Cam.
:i bout of next Wednesday at Vernon.
The lad who emerges victorious from
:hls 20-round bantamweight encounter
:nay be the next champion of the world
Those who have been keeping i
watchful eye on Champion Johnny Cou
Son and his performances for the past
rear say that he Is slipping. His
mends declare that he merely over
worked himself and went stale. But
the fact remains that Kid Williams out
pointed him in 10 rounds at New York
cn October 16. Hence the interest in
the Vernon scrap.
Tim McGrath, the versatile manager
of campl. says that his boy is the com
intr bantamweight king, and Los An
geles fans back up Tim's prophecy to
the extent of establishing the iilsn
Frenchman on an even-money betting
basis with the Dane No matter who
wins, the victor Is entitled to a match
with Coulon, and will get it sooner or
later.
Kid Williams, whose reaT name Is
John Kutenko, will not be 20 years old
until December 5, according to the rec
ord books, but has eneaged In nearly
60 fights, and won 36 of them on knock
outs. Eddie Campl. or Eddie De Cam
pus, will be 20 on July 4. and has been
In more than B0 flRhts. scoring 1
knockout victories. Campl started in
fighting In 1908. while the lad from
Copenhagen, Denmark, first stepped
into the rlns In 1910.
Strange to say, these two title con
tenders will battle for a chance to meet
Coulon on the 24th anniversary of the
champion's birth.
Packey McFarland and Jack Brltton
will not battle for a championship, If
they meet in New York on March 7,
but It's an even bet that as much In
terest will be evinced In the mill as thfc
ordinary championship affair.
McFarland and Brltton. both hailing
from Chicago, are generally rated as
the best lightweights of the day, i you
can style them lightweights. Neither
is likely ever to wear the lightweight
crown, for the task of making 133
pounds ringside, or even 135 pounds
Just before clamoring through the
ropes, seems an Impossible task for
either.
But lightweights or welters, few are
so strong in their partfzanshlp as to
contend that these two Chicagoans are
not the cleverest and best fighters of
their weight in the world.
A 10-round, no-declsion bout Is not a
thing of joy to the enthusiast looking
for decisive ring ciasnes, DUt wnen
these two get together look for the
greatest fight in years, and a crowd
which will tax the seating capacity of
any New York club, and cause another
scandal similar to that which marked
the Rivers-Cross bout.
.
Cyclone Johnny Thompson, who as
pires to the light heavyweight cham
pionship, is a poundage freak. This
veteran fighter, who will be 37 years
old on June 20. started fighting In 1902
as a lightweight. He continued a light
weight until he went to Australia, more
than a year ago, and then began to fill
out at an alarming rate.
Johnny was scheduled to fight
Hughle Mehegan, and posted a weight
forfeit for 133 pounds. He worked
hard, but a week before the fight'
weighed 140 pounds. Realizing his in
ability to make the lightweight limit,
Johnny quit training, forfeited his
money and entered the ring weighing
162 pounds.
Ha then turned miaaieweigni. oui
soon after returning home discovered
that he could not make 158 pounds,
and at present is a light heavyweight,
tipping the scales at 175 pounds.
Jim Flynn had a similar experience,
but one not so marked. He was min
gling with middles not so long ago, but
found the going strenuous, with few
opponents, and decided to buna up,
Soon he weighed 16a pounds, then lit),
and when he met Johnson vibrated
the beam, at 190 pounds.
While no definite date has been an
nounced, a Bombardier Welis-I.uthe
McCarty fight seems imminent, the bi.r
chaps to meet in New York in Maro i
or April. The match should be a goo-l
one. despite the easy victory scored by
Al Falser over the Kriton not long age.
Wells has Improved wonderfully In tlie
last year, according to all reports,
while McCarty. though not a Corhett,
Jeffries or Fltzslnimons. may take his
place among the greatest within a year
or two.
While McCarty Is the topic, it might
be well to say that I.uther has no
Indian blood In Ms veins, despite the
highly colored yarns to that effect.
"Lute" was born at White Horse Can
yon. In Nebraska. 21 years ago. of
Irish-Scotch parentage. If his dad's
testimony is to be relied upon. Mc
Carty senior traveled around as an
Indian medicine man. hence the ease
with which the redskin "dope" slipped
Into the records.
San Francisco writers are beginning
to give Gunboat Smith a rating among
the heavyweight championship possi
bilities. A year ago he was a rank
dub. with a faint heart, but now, after
a Feries of victories over men of fair
caliber, they think he will bear watch
ing. Despite the almost unanimous opin
ion of the critics that Rivers would
have knocked Leach Cross out in a few
more rounds at New York, the dental
fistic exponent says he would be glad
to meet the Mexican over the 20-round
route. However, as he was a little too
free with derogatory remarks concern
ing California after his first trip West,
there is little chance of Cross securing
an oimortunity to go 20 rounds with
any one.
Roy Cougar is the name of a light
weight at Cody, Wyo. Cougar is said
to fight harder than Oie animal of
that name when cornered, combining
fierce attacks with a punch fully up to
the Fltzsimmons standard. He has been
walloping every one In sight in that
region, and may invade California soon.
