Loral followers of fisticuffs believe
that Anderson will stop Brown long be
fore the 20 scheduled rounds of toe
April 13 affair. They are more dubious
about Wolgast s position. A poll of 100
fans probably would disclose a Murphy
contingent of nearly 60.

bout with Willie Ritchie.
The alibis, if such are needed, will be
presented after the fights.
There is more likely to be one from
the Wolgast headquarters than from
Anderson's, although, when you stop to
consider how keen promoters, lighters
and fans are for a Wolgast-Rltchle re
turn melee, perhaps Ad will not be
forced to look about for an alibi. The
thought of the golden opportunity of
another crack at Ritchie may buoy up
Ad to the point of invincibility.
Jack King, the Portland trainer. re-
celved letters from Wolgast and Ander

Ad says that, if nothing happens,

Also thai he Is to get a 10.000 guaran

Boxing Is surely "coming back." and
coming back strong. Ten states, and
more than that many large cities In
anti-boxing states, have adopted, or
will adopt scientific boxing once more
during 1913. They say that Oregon
lawmakers would have favored the re
habilitation of the "manly art" had the
matter been brought before them in the
proper manner by proper people.
A few weeks ago Joe Rivers was
rated aa the bet lightweight of them
all. Tet lust the other night Leach
Cross, of New York, rated with Tommy
Murphy, of the same city, as a tougb
lightweight but really ranking no high
er than the trial-horse division, held
the Mexican even in 10 rounds at New
York.
A Cleveland writer quoted Willie I
Ritchie as saying not many days ago
that he expected to boost the light
weight limit to 13S pounds. If such
is the case how about forsaking Rivers
for a t'me and turning to jack uritton.

the Pacific Northwest Association, re
fused to Issue a sanction on the grounds
that tbe dates were conflicting and
that the city championships, being the
amateur boxing feature of the year,
should take precedence over the other
programmes, particularly as they had
been arranged nearly two months ago,
Kohler Makes Statement.
The following is a statement Issued
by Manager Kohler. 'of Columbus Club,
relative to the cancellation of the
smoker:
"In calling off the boxing bouts we
had scheduled to take place on the
15th insu 1 take this opportunity of
answering Mr. T. Morris Dunne s state,
ment that his refusal to grant a sane.
tion for the meet was based on his
desire to prevent commercialism in box
ing, and to again say that the officers
of the Columbus Club teei tnat Air.
Dunne Is using his position as secre
tary and treasurer of the Pacific North
west Association to further the inter1
ests of the club In which he holds mem.
bership. the Multnomah Amateur Ath
letic Club, commercially and otherwise,
and still maintain that our meet would
in no wise conflict with tbe so-called
city championships, as was well proven
In the recent meets held at the Armory
and the Brooklyn Club.
"Mr. Dunne Issued a sanction to the
Brooklyn Club for a meet, which was
beld April -7. and a few days later issued
a permit to the Armory Athletic Asbo
elation for the night of April 5. two
days earlier. Mr. Dunne did not have
to protect the Interests of his club In
either of these bouts, either commer-

dally or In seeing that the entrants
were fit. As a result, the sanction was
issued, and when afked why he Issued
a sanction for a bout In such close
proximity to the other, he Is reported
to have said that he bad no authority to
regulate dates.
Prices Are Quoted.
"We will quote a few of the dates and
prices charged, just to show our big
brother thinks pretty well of boxing
from a commercial standpoint. The
Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club held
meets In January, February, March, and
had three bouts billed for April 9, 17, 18.
The former was called off, however.
but not for want of a sanction or per.
mit. An admission fee of $1.50 and J?
was charged, except in the bouts of
March 28 with San Francisco, when it
was boosted to $3 and S2.50, as against
SI and $1.50 charged by the Columbus
Club for their meets of January 30,
February 13, March 6 and March 24.
"This shows that the Multnomah
Amateur Athletic Club does not over
look the dollars to be squeezed out of
the boxing department of the club. We
feel that our efforts to build up a club
are not receiving the support which
ought to be accorded by the local of
Qcial of the Pacific Northwest Assocta
tion, and will take the matter up at the
proper time. Moreover, 1 wish to em
phasize that the so-called city cham
pionships, under the auspices of the Pa
clflc Northwest Association, is only a
name, as the Columbus Club has not re.
ceived entry blanks to same, or been
Invited to take part, either by Mr.
Dunne or the Multnomah Amateur Ath
letic Club. I believe it will be admit
ted that we have some claim of recog
nition.
"In view of the foregoing facts, we
have decided to withhold all entries
from the so-called city championships
and to suspend any of our members who
attempt to disregard the ruling."

Ex-Champion Appears to Be
Preparing With Zest for
Bout With Murphy.
JULY 4 FIGHT IS IN DOUBT
Ooffroth rnable to Say Who Will
Be Independence Day Attraction
San Francisco Fans Wrathy
Over Seals' Beginning.
BY HARRT B. SMITH.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., April 12.
(Special.) Ad Wolgast and Tommy
Murphy, who meet Saturday afternoon.
April 19, are at last on the ground and
have opened up their training quarters.
Woleast really looks considerably Im
proved as the result of his days in the
mountains at Harbin Springs. He has
taken to heart the strictures of the
sporting writers against his lackadais
ical style of training In the past ana
has promised that he will be good.
I still am of the opinion that Wolgast
has gone back too. far to beat Murphy,
but at the same time if he will train
faithfully, his chances are Improved.
Coffroth doesn't know what he will do
f at- m. Fourth of July match, but pos
sibly the winner of this match will be
offered a chance, say at Leach Cross.
Once upon a time Leach was anxious
to return to the Coast, but now that he
is going so well in the East, it may be
a different story.
Wlllard-Smlth Bout Possible.
There Is also a nossibility that Coff
roth may have in mind Jess Willard
and Gunboat Smith for Independence
day. Willard Is in San Francisco, but
the other day he was obliged to under
go an operation for his nose that will
keep him out of the, ring for at least six
weeks. For that reason he was obliged
to refuse a date late in May, and the
chances are that now he will want to
wait until July 4.
From a letter that came to Hand tnis
week from Willie Ritchie, it Is more
than ever evident that the lightweight
Champion of the world la bent upon
postponing his re-entry Into the ring.
He talks in his letter of how glad lie
ill be when he closes bis theatrical
work in Portland ,early In June, and
then declares "me for the big rest In
tbe mountains."
That means. I presume, that he win
avoid the Fourth of July and await
some more auspicious time. So far as
a good date is concerned, he couldn't
expect anything better than the Fourth
of July, but from what I know of Wil
lie I surmise that he isn't so taken with
the fighting game, if he can mane
money otherwise, tie ougni to nave
saved up a tidy penny on this long the
atrical engagement, and he will keep
much of it, as ho Is no reckless spender.
Polo Ponies Valuable.
Horseflesh, when it comes to polo
ponies, runs into money. The announce
ment came this week that Malcolm
Stevenson, substitute on the All Ameri
can team that will defend the cup
against the Englishmen In June, had
left for the East after viewing tne
tournament at San Mateo. iie iook
with him four polo ponies, valued at
$20,000 that had been loaned to him
for thn international matches. Three
of the ponies belong to Walter Dilling
ham, of the Hawaiian team, and the
other is the property of W. B. Dever
eaux. Stevenson offered Dillingham
S5000 apiece for his three ponies. The
Hawaiian said they were not for sale
at any price, but added that as a pa
triotic American, he was willing to
loan them to Stevenson for use In the
international cup series.
Frank E. Watkins, of Portland, bas
Heen a San Francisco visitor this week.
Mr. Watkins very cleverly arranged
his outing so that he could take in the
annual bench show of the Golden Gate
Kennel Club and also some oi tne
Portland ball games. The Oregonian
hasn't any dogs entered in the show.
but he Is quite an enthusiast and wants
to see what's what.
-
Seal Fans Wrathy.
With two weeks gone, the San Fran
cisco 'Seals still figure a poor club in
the Coast League, and have called
down upon the management the wrath
of the fans. There are two vital
troubles. The pitchers can't pitch and
the batsmen can't hit. So far the boys
have been awfully shy of base hits and
there doesn't seem to be any improve
ment. The pitching staff has fallen
down woefully. Douglass, the recruit
from the Western League. looks to be
the best of the crowd. Cack Henley
looks to have gone back, and Delhi,
who was supposed to be back to his
Los Angeles form, is more or less of
a disappointment.
The crowds have been all that could
be desired, but the chances are tbey
will fall off, unless there is something
stirring. San Francico fans are about
tired of a cellar club. Howard says
that he will work until he gets a club
and here's hoping that he accomplishes
what he starts after.
I hate to think how weak the Seals
would be without Tub Spencer, who Is
their one bright and shining star. The
big catcher, who is of major league
caliber, through and through, has been
behaving himself nicely since the sea
son opened. McCredle gave him the
biggest kind of a boost the other day,

' Glenn Dudley, who gained fame as a

a little about the National gamo as

"I think I have some of the best In

OREGON AGRICULTCRAL COLLEGE.
Corvallis, Or.. April 11. (Special.)
More progress toward organizing the
college hopefuls into a bseball team
has been made by Coach Jesse Garrett
during the last three days of sunshine
than during the entire three weeks of
saturation which have Just ended. Tho
result is that the bulls are cornering
stock on the chances of the Oregon
Agricultural College manipulations of
the liorsehlde sphere to be well up In ,
the running when the conference base
ball season closes next month.
The results of the persistent Indoor
practice in bunting and covering the
bases was illustrated with telling ef-,
feet when the colts were turned out on
the sward again last Wednesday and
ran away with the Corvallis High
School lads to the tune of 5 to 1.
The game ran the full course with a
shifting lineup, which gave the candi
dates for baseball monograms slight
chances to show their real mettle be
cause the college batteries did prac
tically all the work. Although the high
school boys put up a fair gamo they
were no match for the collegians.
Coach Garrett used three pitchers
against the high school boys with lit
tle difference in effectiveness Culver
opened the game, and during his three
innings allowed one hit and gave one
base on balls. Moreland, who presided
during the next third, was a little wild,
and walked two men but held his bats
men down to one safe connection. Car-
dinell got out with a record of three
hits scored against his delivery. He,
gave do passes. . -;
Cantaln Cooper. Hutt and Wilson, on
the bases, in respective order, played-
the entire game and are considered Djr
the fans to be about the only men per-;
manently stationed for the season.
Shaw played right field during the.
entire game, Robins, Groce and Loot
each serving time In the other fields
with none seeming to have any partlc-'
ular claim over the others for a den-'
nite assignment.
Glayser and Weller divided time witn
the big mit. Glayser was less erratic,
with the bat but Weller bad the edge
on him when it came to whipping the
ball to the bases.
On tho whole. Garrets men lookea
good In action against the high' school'
last Wednesday, especially considering;
the fact that It was their first appear-,
ance against an outside team.
Friday's showing against the Port-.
land Colts and Saturday's game with'.
the Multnomah Club brought out some"
of the ragged places and gave tha .
"Aggie" coach his first direct tips as
to how to patch it up. At the same,
time the college boys took pointers on
the value of team work as contrasted
with their present "catch-as-catch-can",
methods which lack of practice has)
compelled them to use as an aggrega- .
tion of individuals rather man a per
