MEET RITCHIE Frankie Burns and Joe Azevedo to Fight It Out in Oakland andv Murray AYI11 Face Petroskey in San Francisco. BI HARRY B. SMITH. BAN FRANCISCO. Cat, Nov. 21. (Special.) With the boxing game due to Bhut up Bhop in California on or fibout December 15, promoters in the state are pulling the "last fight" stuff until it is becoming rather disgusting to patrons of the game. With the idea somewhere in their heads that the fans will all want to be in at the death, every promoter who stages any contest whatever, announces it as being the last fight to take place. In consequence the public Is rather befuddled and one can't blame them. Secretary of State Jordan Issued an unofficial statement the other day, in which he expressed the opinion that the new law would probably take ef fect about the middle of next month. This means there will be two, if, not three or four 20-round contests in'San Francisco, at least one and possibly two of 15 'rounds duration in Oakland and about a half dozen four-round en counters. Murrir to Meet Pctrokcr, In San Francisco next Thursday (Thanksgiving day) afternoon. Sailor Petroskey and Fighting Billy Murray are to meet in a 20-round set-to. As has been announced, it is by no means a big card, but it looks fairly attract ive and may pull a bigger house than some of us Doubting Thomases have any idea. Across the bay in Oakland, Frankie Burns and Joe Azevedo, on Tuesday night, November 24, will forgather In a 15-round session to determine the question of which is the better man. The same pair met a few weeks back in Los Angeles. Burns was declared the winner on a foul. The truth of the situation came to light later, when it appeared that Burns, who looked a loser, taunted Azevedo until the Portu guese, boy lost his temper and sailed in, regardless of the rules. Coffroth Plana Bis Boat. Coffroth, who has the December per mit in San Francisco, of course is planning on something Important in the pugilistic line. Further, he has al ready announced that he proposes to stage three or four medium lightweight bouts. Of course they cannot take place in San Francisco, but there is nothing to prevent their being staged at his Colma arena, which is over the line in San Mateo County, and there fore not within the Jurisdiction of the San Francisco Supervisors. About the funniest thing pulled In all the turmoil was the application of the four-round promoter whose show was on the boards for last Friday night for the right to admit women to hia bouts. San Francisco has had a police regu lation for some time past prohibiting women from attending matches. The promoter urged the point that as this was one of the last of the four-round bouts, he wanted to give the women an opportunity to view the proceedings for themselves. Needless to say his application was denied. At the same time the promoter obtained a. lot of publicity which, after all, is what he may have been looking for. WolMh-rUtohle Match Sought. Coffroth has had several irons in the fire, but up to the present he has not been successful as regards his ven tures. The first of the week he started after a match between Freddie Welsh nnd Willie Ritchie, but negotiations have been hanging fire. While on a trip to Los Angeles. Coff roth had word from Harry Pollock indi cating that for the right sort of a con sideration Welsh would be perfectly willing to take on Ritchie in a cham pionship match before the new law goes into effect. Then Coffroth got into touch with Ritchie and suggested that Ritchie guarantee Welsh a purse of $15,000. taking 60 per cent of all the receipts to compensate him. Ritchie laughed at the scheme and said there was nothing doing. Then Coffroth came back with a new offer. He suggested to Ritchie that Welsh be allowed to take the first J15. 000 inside the gates and Ritchie to be allowed 60 per cent of what was left over. In other words, if the house went to $25,000, as might reasonably be expected, Ritchie would receive $6000. Ritchie Aaka 754o. The Californian thought sufficiently well of the proposition at first glance to accept. Then he cogitated for half an hour and announced there would be absolutely nothing doing unless he was guaranteed $7500 for his own end. He bases that on his fear that with nil the stores open for business In De cember the house receipts might be cut down. And Ritchie simply doesn't care to work for nothing. It is a certainty that Coffroth will never guarantee a sum total of J22.5C0 to get this match. While Sunshine Jim would like the glory of handling the last bona fide championship match within the boundaries of California, he is not exactly giving away his coin. There are half a dozen of the second and third-rate lightweights hanging around San Francisco at present with no visible means of support, and doubt less they will welcome the chance, if it comes to them, of getting getaway money before the game is put to the bad. And that is Just what Coffroth will do, chances are. Asevedo May Go Enst. If Joe Azevedo makes good next Tuesday night against Frankie Burns he has been promised an Eastern trip by his manager, Jimmy Rohan. Aze vedo has been East himself, but Rohan, who is an Oakland boy, born and raised, has never been out of the state. He is anxious to see what the country looks like and believes that a trip of that sort will pay expenses aa well as leave something over for Azevedo, who is a married chap and has to look after his better half. Don't regard the threatened invasion of New Orleans by Tom McCarey as serious. Tom might talk, because he likes to read about himself in the pa pers, but there Isn't a chance to put himself in right as a promoter. Domi nick Tortorich Is the one big bet in New Orleans and he proposes to fight for his interests II such a course is at all necessary. Girls' Orchestra Plays at Albany. ALBANY. Or., Nov. 21. (Special.) -i no gins orcnesira or the Albany High School has begun practicing and Al bany soon will have what is said to be the first high school orchestra in the state composed entirely of co-eds. The school already has an orchestra and two lianas composed ol boys, 1 Of yyi 'V' -y WALTER A. GRCETTER ON LADY MYRTLE. T CLUB TO Thanksgiving Contest Entries Now Number 15. SILVER TROPHY OFFERED Fast Horses Promise Big Race on Trail of Experienced Hares Old Winners In Line With Favorite Mounts Have Good Chance. The Portland Hunt Club will hold its annual Thanksgiving day run for the silver trophy Thursday morning. No vember 26. The start will be made from the Hunt Club clubhouse at Gar den Home at 10 o'clock. The silver trophy for this event was presented by the club In 1905 and the run has been held annually ever since. In 1912 and 1913 the cup was won by Walter A. Gruetter, riding Lady Myrtle, and, as he has the same mount this year, he intends to make another try for the trophy. This year's list of entries shows the fastest horses that have ever come together for an event of this kind, and undoubtedly it will be a horse race from start to finish. The trail will be laid by Mrs. Chester G. Murphy and Mrs. James H. Mur phy. As these hares have laid some fine trails there is no doubt but that the going will be good. Up to date there have been 15 entries, as follows: E. K. ODuenheim will ride Call Bond; Wil liam Walter. Mike Wisdom; Walter Gruetter. Lady Myrtle; C. G. Murphy, Tarn, arack; S. A. Volkman. Winnie; C. V. Bow man. Gvm: K. K. Crebba. Fox; William Whitfield. Derby; S. C. LJvlnBrton. Cub; A. M. Cronln. Ojar: H. C. Charlton. Chltra. C. C. Coburn. Gibson Boy; H. M. Kerron. Oregon Frank: James Nicol, Kdgewood Girl; William Healy, Colonel. Most of the riders and a large num ber of their friends will have break fast at the clubhouse at 9 A. M. A. M. Cronln has informed the riders that the start will take place promptly at 10 o'clock. The finish will be announced to the spectators and gallery immedi ately after the. riders are away, so that all may have an opportunity of wit nessing both the start and finish. Since 1905 the cup has been held by the following members: 1905. C. H. Leadbetter, won on Barn ado: 1906, E. B. Tongue, won on- Oregon ICid; 1907, William B. Walter, won riding Frank; 1908, w. F. Albee, won riding Rocket; 1909 and 1910, James Nicol. won riding Will Wehrung: 1911, William Walter, won riding Little Joe; 1912 and 1913, the cup was won by Walter A. Gruetter, riding Lady Myrtle. The Trainer Corner WHERE do the great boxers come from? During the course of an inves tigation into this subject I have looked into the antecedents of 100 champions, near-champions and runners-up of the Queensberry era. I have made no at tempt to pick out the 100 best boxers of the present generation, since that would involve endless differences of opinion. I have included all the cham pions of the last 25 or 30 years, and others who were or are near-cham pions, as well as some of the best of the also-rans. Right here I admit that it is probable that some boxers have been omitted who were better men than some of those included, but I have sought to make the list fairly well rep resentative.

Australia aird other parts of the British Empire, and eight on the continent of Europe. As the birthplace of star boxers, San Francisco easily takes the lead among cities, the above list Including seven who made their debut in the Golden Gate City. A Btudy of these statistics shows that the majority of the best boxers are the product of big cities. Of those in this list born in the United States and Can ada 40 were natives of large cities, and 26 hailed from smaller cities, towns and villages. Not more than half a dozen were born on farms. Outside of North America the division between urban and rural communities is more nearly equal, with 18 natives of bis cities and 16 of smaller places. Among the states of the Union, Cali fornia is the foremost as 'a producing center of pugilists, according to this list. The Golden State has 10 to its credit. New York. Illinois and Penn sylvania are tied for second place, each having seven native sons in the list. Nearly a third of the total come from these four states. Canada also has seven natives in the list, three hailing from the Province of Quebec, and two each from Nova Scotia and Ontario. In the matter of nationality the Irish are pre-eminently the fighting race. ine men of Hibernian birth or descent in this list number 31, or nearly a third of the total. Nor does this include five men of mingled Scotch-Irish, and French-Irish descent. Under the head of Americans, mostly of English racial origin, are listed 15 men. Within the last few years the Irish h. ro been slipping back a little, pugil lstlcally, and the list of recognized champions now includes only one man of Irish blood Johnny Kilbane, the featherweight champ. All the same, the dope points to an Irishman as the next heavyweight champion of the world. NEW'GOLF COURSE 53 IDEA Scotch Enthusiast Plans 18 Holes for Forty-Acre Tract. An 18-hole golf course in a 40-acre tract is the idea of a Scotch golfer. His plan is to lay out a perfect put- .ting green in the center of the tract and place the 18 tees at varying dls tances and at different angles about the green like the spokes of a wheel. The brilliant thought occurred to him while watching a clock golf putting competition. Needless to say, the plan' would be useless for clubs, as the spectacle of 18 foursomes approaching the same green from 18 different directions would be appalling. For a Drivate course to be used only by the owner and his friends the scheme might be worth considering. Albany New Pipe Organ to Be Triett, ALBANY. Or.. Nov. 21. (Special.)- Lucien E. Becker, organist of the White Temple, of Portland, will play the new pipe organ in the First Baptist Church of Albany when it is used for the first time.

WINNING TEAM MAY GO Clubmen, Armory, Christian Broth ers and Stilettos in Line for Mult nomah Meeting, While Other Strong Quintets Expected. For the purpose of- organizing a strong basketball team in the city and to choose 'a team to represent Fertland at the Panama-Pacific Exposition in San Francisco next year, basketball enthusiasts will meet Wednesday night at 8 o'clock at the Multnomah Club. Representatives of last season's quin tets will be present. At this meeting a league, consisting of eight or ten of the city's best bas ketball teams, will be organized, with Robert A. Krohn's name mentioned for the presidency. Several teams already have discussed the plan and are heartily in favor of the organization. Among those ihat are ready to join the league are the Multnomah Clubthe Armory Club, the Christian Brothers Business College and the Stilletos. The Harriman Club, the Jewish Boys" Club, the Y. M. C. A. and the Sellwood Y. M. C. A., all of which had strong teams in the field last year, are asked to be represented at the meeting. , The league when organized will be on a par with the highest class organ izations In the country. Games will be played on the local club floors, which are superior to any In the state. Whether tho team that goes to the San Franclsoo Exposition to represent Portland will be the league champions, or will be composed of stars chosen from the different teams, will be set tled at a later date. In all probability it will be the league's leading team, as this would make the race all the better by giving the teams something worth while to work for. "I think the plan is one of the best that has ever been put before the local basketball teams," said John D. Dwyer, the fctilleto manager, when told of the proposed organization. "It will give local basketball a big boost this Win ter. A trip to the exposition as repre sentatives of Portland is well worth working for by any team, and I pre dict a race that will cause considerable comment. Another thing that looks g.iod is the comparative evenness in the FlaylnS ability of the teams men tioned for a place in the league." Others interested in th forming of the Dew organization, besides Robsrt Krohn, are L. A. Spangler, T. Morris Dunne. Harry Fischer and John D. Dwyer. Gridiron Gossip. By Hon roe Fawtttt. EVEN back in George Washington's time they used to fib occasionally. At least that's the inference that can be drawn from the following interest ing communication from John Fulton, professor in chemistry at the Oregon Agricultural College. Professor Ful ton's letter explains itself: Corvallis. Nov. IS. Dear Sir; In your article in The Oregonian oday we notice that you give Oregon credit for a 44-0 vic tory over the Oregon Agricultural College. There never was such a score made between the regular teams of these institutions. There was a score of 44 made, but that was over a team that went from here for a practice game, and the aggregation was made uo largely of town men, not even stu. dents of this college. I was then assistant manager of the Ore gon Agricultural College team and the man ager of the Oregon team personally visited me and asked that we send up a team for a oractice game, which, of course, we re fused to do. However. I put it up to the men that If they cared to gather up enough men to make some kind of a team we were Just beginning football then to indulgo in a practice game, all well and good. But it was understood that no score was to be counted one way or the other. Oregon won this game. 44-0, but later the team from Oregon Agricultural College played Oregon, and Oregon won, 2-0. on a afetv. That Is the score that goes with us, but some years back lha 44-0 scora was resurrected and persistently has been claimed by Oregon. Of course, It means nothing one way or the other to either in stitution, and It is only to set you right with Oregon Agricultural Collese that I give you this first-hand information. Yours very truly. JOHN FULTON. Evidently the Oregon partisans did not wait until a few years back to claim the lop-sided score because the files for The Oregonian of October 2i, 1895 dusty though they be show that Oregon at that time accepted the score, it was 46-0, as a bona fide test between the rival colleges., We quote from The Oregonian of that date: Eucene. Oct. 26. Today was football dav In Eugene, the contestants belne the teams from the Oreron Agricultural College and the University of Oregon. That day WKs all that could be desired and the ground adjoining the university campus was all that could be desired. Paul Downing, coach tor the Corvallis team, acted aa umpire abd H. P. Benson, university coach, aa referee. The game was clearly one for the Univer sity of Oreaon from the start, though Cor vallis DUt up a strong fight. In the first half the winning team scored 22 points and in the second half 24 points. The total score stood: University of Oregon 40, Ore gon Agricultural College 0. No account of the 2-0 game could be found In the flies, but further investi gation may bring it to light. "Lutz is the greatest halfback I have ever seen in the Northwest conference since Dick Smith." This testimonial coming from Repre sentative "Pat" McArthur ought to be duly appreciated by Mr. Arthur Lutz, Oregon Agricultural College. You have to hand It to Mr. Gllmore Dobie, professor at the University of Washington. Gil generally always has something up his sleeve as a scoring play. Two years ago Washington and the Oregon Aggies battled along 3-3 until the fourth quarter and then Mr. Hap Miller shot a pass over the goal line and it was curtains for the Aggies. This year Washington tried only thiee passes against Oregon and the only one that worked gave Dobie's team atouch down. George Tarnell, Spokane referee and one of the most competent in the ring, tells a good one on himself. During the Oregon Aggie rout of Idaho last week. Varnell remarked to Captain "Gloomy" Hofer, of the Aggies: "What's the mat ter? Don't you ever smile?" "No," was Hofer"s quick retort. "Not when you officiate." Little by little rugby football is los ing its foothold in California. Occi dental College quit the English game this Fall and now the Southern Cali fornia highs are demanding a return to American football. Hollywood already has announced its intentions and Los Angeles high practically is certain to follow. With all the feeders gone Stan ford and California also will have to follow suit before long. SPORTSMEN TO COflTEST TRAP SHOOT AND CASTING TOUR NAMENT TO BE HELD. Joint Meet Will Be Feature of Tn-o. Day Convention of Learae in Fort land December 6 and 7. A joint trap ehoot and fly and bait casting tournament on the grounds of the Portland Gun Club at Jenne Station, on the Estacada carllne, will be held Sunday, December 8, the opening day of the two-day convention in Portland of the Oregon Sportsmen's League. Prizes will be awarded winners of the events. An open invitation is extended to visitors and others wishing to partici pate in the 'activities. Lunch will be served at the clubhouse. Special trans portation facilities to and from the grounds will be arranged. On Monday business of grave import ance to sportsmen throughout the state will be discussed. The day of business will be followed by a wild duck and steelhead dinner at the Commercial Club, the game donated by members of the Multnomah Anglers' Club and Portland Gun Club. W. L. Finley will show a collection of mov ing picture films of wild game, birds and fish. Matters of importance to duck shoot ers will also be discussed as there is now a move on foot to stop the feed ing of lakes throughout the state and also the abolishing of the use of au tomatic and pump shotguns.

FUTURE MUCH IN DOUBT Better Conditions at Vancouver Are Expected and Bob Brown Says Circuit Likely "Will Be trncnanged in 1915. SEATTLE, Nov. 21. (Special.) The annual meeting of the Northwestern League will be held in Seattle Decem ber 13, but It Is doubtful if any definite decision will be reached then as to the coming season. The war has upset plans in British Columbia and Joshua Kingham, owner of the Victoria franchise, would like to get out of the business. There is some talk of the franchise being taken over by other Victoria persons, but how far thjy will care to go under the present conditions remains to be seen. With racing out of the way, things will be better in Vancouver. In fact Bob Brown is quite encouraged, espe cially since the decision at the Omaha meeting to force the Northwestern to lower the salary limit. It is Mr. Brown's opinion that the Northwestern circuit will be the same next season as last. Such may be the outcome, but there is a lot of hard work ahead. A press report from Omaha unin tentionally did the Northwestern League an injury. Two of the leagues in Canada asked for permission to drop out next season and yet retain their territory. In one report the word "Northwestern" was used. The mistake was evident, but those who did not take the trouble to discover . it had something to talk about. HARNESS NOTES DOWN in Arizona, where the stray prospector still sees the phantom camel herds crossing the night horizon, they hold a state fair at Phoenix that ranks with the best Western events of Its kind. The big feature of the Phoenix fair Is the harness racing programme. Just at the time when the football huskies are combing out their long locks in preparation for the Thanksgiving games, the racing bell rings at Phoenix, the last call of the year for the reinsman. The meeting of 1914 was from No vember 9 to 14. One day, Thursday, is set aside for automobile and motor cycle races and the. other five are for the harness horses. Phoenix has met success by offering big purses. Kxcept for the local horses, no purse in the 1914 schedule was less than 91000. Ten $2000 purses were given and nearly $27,000 made the sum total for racing. Horsemen were in attendance from the Grand Circuit country and from Cali fornia. The Idaho mare. May Davis, started twice and made a good showing. Fast time was made at the meeting. King Couchman pacing a mile in 2:02 and the MacKenzie mare Maymack lowering the trotting record to 2:04 Vi. making this mare the Pacific Coast star trotter of the year. Maymack was trained by Charlie L. De Ryder, and last year had outstanding class on the Coast. This year she did well on the Grand Circuit, and finished at Phoenix with straight heats in her two races, every heat be ing trotted in better than 2:06. V. G. Durfee was there and won two pacing races with Don Pronto, a trot ting race with th good filly Esperania, winner of the Coast futurities this sea son; also a pacing race with Chango. The horsemen disperse after the Phoe nix meeting, some of the Eastern train ers remaining on the Coast for the Panama-Pacific meetings of 1916. Schedules for the Panama-Pacific races recently published show 72 races for the Spring and Fall meetings, with $227,000 hung up in purses and stakes. Never in turf history has such a pre tentious programme been offered. The S:10 trotters go at each meeting for a stake of $20,000, and the 2:06 pacers have the same opportunity. Maymack, 2:0is, is a mare by rather obscure sire. Arthur Wilkes, and when De Ryder took her she was regarded as being in the discard. Durfee's pacer' Don Pronto also had been regarded as past his usefulness as a money winner, but this year both horses have laid by a good sum for Winter hay and oats. - After the first of the year Northwest" racing cards will be made up, and it is expected that the presence on the ' Pacific Coast of the large strings of entrants for the San Francisco races ' will afford opportunity for splendid meetings at other California points " and in the Northwest. For the last tour years Minnesota has Droduced and marketed considerably mora -than one-half of the iron ore produced in the T"nltei States.
