FT HARRY B. SMITH.
RAX FKANCISCO. April 10. tSpe
cial.) The king is dead. Long live the
king! Jack Johnson, disliked and de
spised, but for all that, holder of the
world s' boxing title for seven years,
has been dethroned. In his stead
reigns a white man and. while we have
likely belittled Jess Willard in the
past, for aU that he is at the top of
the heap and as such must ret credit.
There is no question but that it is
the best thing that could have pos
sibly happened to the game of fistiana
and may result in saving a sport that
has been rapidly going down hill.
Something had to be done and. thanks
to Willard. it has been accomplished.
Johnson Thoroughly Disliked.
It wasn't so much the negro as the
lnrtfvlrln.il. Johnson. Winning the title
- altogether too much for Johnson.
h it his head and his every action
has been such as to alienate public
opinion that might otherwise have
been on his side. There was no such
, feeling with regard to .Peter Jackson,
nor Joe Gans and George Dixon. These
men were equally prominent as com-
with Johnson, but tney mew
t.nnr tA irn their daces.
Johnson openly flaunted himself in
the face of white people and it Is little
wonder that he was more tnan ais
ltirjtH: even hated. '
Now all that is over. No matter how
Ioti Willard manages to retain the
title, it will doubtless remain with the
white race. Interest will have been
restored to a considerable extent and
there is likely to be a general awak
nfne on all sides.
And right here comes an admission.
The writer isn't one who can say "I
told you so." He can't say that he
figured Willard all the time. To the
contrary. Judging Willard on his fights
Atere, it looked like a cincn ior jui.u
son. Willard Entitled to Credit.
But different conditions prevailed.
Johnson was heavier and slower; in-
.Riihla of landing as damaging a
Dunch and not able to stand the punch
ing he had to take. Willard, the man
with youth, doubtless has shown some
improvement. At all events, he is en
iti.ri in everv bit of credit for nis
performance and for his victory. It
was clean cut and decisive. He proved
his gamcness. his staying power and
finally his ability to win.
Indeed, the white man's perform
ance was surprisingly good. While It
is true that Johnson looked a winner
for 20 rounds, that much was to have
been expected. Certainly it is not
.claimed for Jess that he is a clever
rlrtz- general.
Now that ho has won, however, and
ia the champion, I am quite willing to
predict a change. He will be less of
the happy-go-lucky scrapper and he
will show more aggressiveness. One
of his great faults hereabouts was his
apparent lack of desire to tight tne
other fellow. Now he will have some
thing for which he can fight Given a
little aesv money in the theatrical
game and Jess will appreciate what it
means. Then will come an awakening
and the chap who wrests from the
Kansan his title will have to do some
work.
Champion's Size Is Factor.
Furthermore. Willard is the biggest
man ever to have gained the highest
honors of the ring. Just as that count
ed for Jeffries, so it will count for
Willard. Scores of white hopes will be
after him. but the prediction has been
made hereabouts that W lllard will
hang on for the next five years from
sheer strength, if not cleverness.
Of course he is bound to pick up a
general knowledge of the game, al
though hardly as much as he would If
fighting was permitted in San Fran
cisco where he could get many bouts.
Willard has made the statement that
he will not risk his title against any
negro fighter. Let us hone he sticks
to that resolve. There is no sentiment
that would force him to go against a
black. In fact. If we hear public opin
ion correctly, the followers of the
sport are all for the man who draws
the color line.
As was expected. Willard and the
syndicate made no money in this partic
ular match. It was hardly in the cards.
Tom Jones-Jack Curly, et al simply
gambled on the possibility of beating
Johnson. Now that they have done so,
they will doubtless recoup. The picture
films are bound to be worth something,
although far from as much as if the
United States would admit them.
Fans Eager to See Jess.
The show busines Just now Is more
to the point. Willard is far from being
well known and the fans will flock to
a theater Just to see how he looks in
action. They haven't seen a champion
in so long that he wil be a good draw
ing card. Then, too, will come the ten
round contests in the East. I see
where Billy Gibson has offered him
$15,000 for a trn-round contest in New
York City. Doubtless that will be ac
cepted all in due time. As matters
stand. Willard is entitled to his share
of what Is termed "soft money," and
he is doubtless going in for that.
Of course since he is tied to a hard-and-fast
contract by the syndicate, he
will have to do Just what his managers
tell him. Their interests are alike, so
Willard will have no occasion to Jump
over the traces.
There is no inclination in San Fran
cisco to claim there was anything
wrong about the tight or that it was
framed in advance. Had there been
such an understanding. It is doubtful
if it would have gone 26 rounds or any
thing approximating that distance.
o Fake Suspected.
Willard wouldn't have agreed to take
the punching he endured for a matter
of 20 rounds. What doubtless occurred
Is that after the 20th round or there
abouts. Jack Johnson realized he was
weakening and that eventually he
would be beaten. He is a wise neero
and on many occasions has said that
he would never stand for being cut up.
So. when he saw the way matters were
tending, he simply took the first hard
crack and went to the mat.
That might be labeled quitting, but
certainly could not be held out as a
fraud.
Some writer remarked after the fight
that "Jack Johnson is now merely a
middle-aged, pompous colored man."
And tliafs all he stands. With the
glamor of his title taken away from
him J. Arthur will receive but little
attention and he deserves to be" passed
Into oblivion.
Jimmy Coffroth made the statement
the other day in explaining the out-
WINNER OF THE 1914 GREGOX STATE SHOOT, WHO WILL BE PRES
ENT AT THE ANNUAL EVENT TO BE HELD AT THE PORT
LAND GUN CLUB GROUNDS APRIL 25, 26 AND 27.

come of the fight that he knew for a
fact Jack Johnson is 43 years of age
instead of the 38 to which he admits.
CofTroth says he has seen documents
that convinced him of Johnson's age.
but that the champion, who is decidedly
vain, has insisted for many, years on
cutting down his ral age.
If that is true, and there is every
reason to believe Coffroth knows what
he is talking about, the way the negro
has held on is all the more remarkable.
Now that he is gone and will soon be
forgotten, it must be said of Johnson,
that he was a great fighter in his prfme
and there wera few, if any of the
heavyveights I know, who could have
beaten him.

The new auxiliary cruiser, the "Co
lumbian." is about ready for the water.
The engine will be installed the com

150 targets.
Beginners Get Chance.
The "Squier money-back system,
with the low entrance fees and losses
paid back each day, provides compe
tition for the beginner and the medi
ocre shot, who can compete in the reg
ular programme events and have a
chance to win something if he is in
good form. If he fails to shoot up to
expectations, his sport costs him the
price of the targets only.
The first regular shooting In the
tourney will be held Monday, April 26,
and will start at 9:30 o'clock in the
morning. The main event of the Ore
gon State shoot will be held the fol
lowing day, starting at the same time.
Shooting will last until late in the

cada car and get off at Jenne Sta
tion. Those going by automobile are
requested to go out Hawthorne ave
nue to Eleventh street, then south to
Division street, then east to the Pow
ell Valey road. In taking this route
the grade on Hawthorne avenue will
be avoided. .

OLYMPIC COMMITTEE MOVES
War May Determine Whether Games
Are to Be Held in America.
LAUSANNE, Switzerland, via Paris,
April 10. Headquarters of the Inter
national Olympic Committee, which has
charge of the Olympic games, were
established at Lausanne today and the
archives of the committeewere brought
to this city. Ceremonies were held at
the city hall. They were attended by
Baron Pierre de Coubertin. president
of the committee; Baron Godefroy de
Bionay, the Swiss member, and by the
mayor and other representatives of
the municipality. The mayor read a
telegram from President Motta, of
Switzerland.
The last meeting of the International
committee was held In Lyons, France,
last year. It was said that present cir
cumstances made it advisable for the
committee to establish headquarters in
a central European country.
BERLIN, April 10. (By wireless to
Sayvllle.) Supplementing his state
ment of yesterday that the Olympic
games of 1B19 had not been transferred
from Germany, Count Von Franeken
Slerstorpff, vice chairman of the Ger
man Olympic Committee, said that the
course of the war would detsrmlss
whether the games would be held in a
neutral country, possibly the United
States, If they take place in Berlin, he
said, it will be left to England and
Franee to determine whether they wiil
participate. , . .
The board of trustees of the Portland
Motor-Boat Club met last Wednesday,
at which time Vice-Commodore Boost,
who presided in absence of Commodore
Beebe, Directors Lea Myers, Dr. Charles
Hill' and Joseph Carter, Secretary
George J. Kelly and Clerk A. F. Flem
ing were present.
J A communication was received from
I the Pacific International Power-Boat
Association at Seattle advising that the
Portland Motor-Boat Club's appeal in
the Wastrel-Baby Bell case was allowed
by that association and that a meeting
had been set early in April to pass on
the matter. Regatta Chairman Myers
will represent the local club.
At the last Astoria regatta the Wa
strel, a Seattle entry, won the decision
over, the Baby Bell, a Portland entry
owned by Captain Spencer. This de
cision, the local cluD, alleges, was .un
fair, as there was no doubt of the su
perior speed of the Baby Bell. The
drifting of a buoy UDset the calcula
tions of the Baby Bell's crew, result
ing in a protest and a decision in favor
of the Wastrel.
The local club's action in insisting on
a fair adjustment of this case is looked
on with favor by the local yachtsmen,
as making a precedent for future action
in such cases.
Snme doubt has arisen as to the pos
sibility of the local river clubs partici
pating as clubs in a regatta during the
coming Rose Carnival. A great deal of
effort and a large expense is necessary
to make such an event entirely success
ful. as it was hoped to bring to Port
land a number of fast boats from the
vnrinus Coast cities. The Rose uesti
val Association may not be able to give
the financial assistance necessary to
warrant the local clubs In making the
effort.
This, motor-boat men say, is regret
table, as the opportunity was never
better than the present time for a ma
rine regatta that would be a most at
tractive feature of the festivities.
The efforts of the local clubs along
regatta lines are held to be productive
of wide advertisement ana tne commer.
cial imnortance of the motor-boat in
dustry and its allied Interests is said to
be no small one to the community. On
the Western coast motorboat regattas
have not as yet reached the popularity
that prevails In the Eastern states, but
motor-boat men say "the local river
clubs are making persistent efforts to
increase this popularity and In time
their efforts will no doubt be success
The coming regatta season is planned
to be one .of great Interest. Many towns
along the Willamette and Columbia will
be visited by the motorboat squadrons
and participation will be had with these
towns in their local celebrations, the
water feature of which usually is the
most important one.
Since the temporary removal of the
initiation fee, many applications for
membership are coming in. Local boat
builders report a renewal of activities,
and engine men are wearing unusually
orlad smiles. If enthusiasm is a basels
of judgment, then the coming season
should be a "hummer."
Captain Harry Kleister launched his
cruiser Luana last Sunday and enjoyed
a successful trial trip around the local
harbor. Several invited guests served
as a crew. The Luana is a large, roomy
cruiser, of the- most up-to-date type,
and about the last word in cruising
comfort.
Vlce-Admiral Boost has anchored his
floating palace. The Artisan, just below
the rapids near Magoon's Landing, on
the Upper Willamette, near Jennings
Lodge. He is using the boat as a fish
ing base from which to cruise around
in his small auxiliary. His efforts to
lure the salmon from their watery re
treats has been quite successful, so it
is said.
Blinker Echoes. .
"Did you know," writes an American
traveler from abroad, "that Gray wrote
his famous elegy at Stoke Poges, one
of the greatest of England's Inland
golf courses?"
.
Manager Hugh Jennings of the De
troit Tigers, has laid aside his golf
clubs for the year to tell the Detroit
team how to play baseball. Jennings
is of the opinion that golf and base
ball cannot be mixed with any degree
of success In either pursuit.
Club professionals are going to wage
a war on a certain class of golf patrons
who make purchases from the profes-i
sional store and then neglect to pay
the -bill. The matter has been taken
up by Secretary Whitney of the United
States Golf Association.
Forty-two members of the Victoria
Golf Club have gone to war as members
of one or the other of the several regi
ments recruited in that city.
Arrangements are being made to en
tertain delegates to the National bank
ers' convention at golf when they meet
In Seattle next September.
Women members of the Seattle and
Tacoma golf clubs will start a tourna

Baseball Brevities.
Frank Newhouse is the only umpire
in captivity that ever made the of
ficials of a baseball league purchase an
electric fan. Newhouse was offered a
berth in the Texas League, but re
fused to go unless the officials would
buy him a fan. He said that he had
visited Texas before and that he
couldn't get a wink of sleep unless an
electric fan was installed In his room.
Bob Wicker, the Spokane Indian big
chief, is having a hard time getting his
,-riskins Into shape. Spokane has been
having an overabundance of rainfall of
late.
Bill Donovan's men have thus far
shown up surprisingly well, and every
one concerned-deserves a lot of credit.
It would not. however, be fair to the
Yankees to expect too much of them
and then pan them if they fail to live
up to exalted expectations.
-
Another baseball surprise has been
sprung by Connie Mack in placing
Rube Oldrlng at third base to supplant
Frank Baker.
The National League clubs have tried
out 2305 players in the last nine sea-
eons. The highwater mark was last
season, with 308.
William Donovan and Christy
Mathewson have been acquainted for
some years. The first game Matty ever
won for the Giants was played on April
26, 1901. Bill Donovan, twirling for
Brooklyn, was the opposing pitcher.
Christy trimmed him by a count of 5

more recent Jitney bus. Then, while
some sharp-elbowed neighbor gently
prods us in the ribs, Tt try and find
out from the local paper just how many
Russians have been slain and the num
ber of ships the submarines have sent
to the bottom of the son. This may
presont brain exerctne, but it dooa lit
tle to exercise the lunrs end play the
different muscles. Many ef us spend
the fcUlowlnff hours of the working day
in some offlea or tstoro.
That there are net mere noj-row-
cbested people with u lo. I think, moat,
ly due to the several swimming pools
and gymnasiums In reaeh, o nearly
everyone at the dirrei-ent eluoa, yrie
playgrounds and publle pools in the
different districts are but a want, felt I
dom ot proper exercise becomes

Take the modern woman of the to
day with the exception of the few
who follow some healthful diversion
and picture her average day; a novel,
a box of bon bons and. perhaps, a spin
in the machine around the boulevard.
Of course, the rush and crush soma
women undergo at tne anierent oar
gain sales may be compared to the old
style football games, but I doubt if
much benefit is derived from them.
It was with great pleasure that I
learned the Portland schools bad de
cided to Install pools and make swim
ming a compulsory part of the curri
culum. What more cleanly and
healthful exercise is there than swim
ming? Every muscle Is brought into
play and, if one follows this sport con
stantly, he or she should have a deep
chest, stronjr. supple limbs, springing,
buoy&nt stride and perfect health.
I have watched with interest the de
velopment of some of the youngsters
under my ea re, and It gives pleasure to
see the timid child develop into a
irons, robust youngster.- No growing
child, over the age of 10 years, should
be without some healthful exereise.
Many grown persons do not have the
time. The youngsters certainly should
not neglect to take up a healthful
port, 1
Men Are Being- Pnt Through Paces by
Captain Goble Pitching Staff Is
Greatest Source of Worry,
OREGON AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.
Corvallis, April 10. (Special.) The
Aggie baseball team will leave Cor
vallis tomorrow morning for a week's
barnstorming trip. Washington State
will be engaged Monday and Tuesday at
Pullman. Wednesday the nine will
Journey down to Walla Walla to cross
bats with the Whitman aggregation for
two games, and Friday and Saturday
they will hook up with the Pendleton
Blue Mountain League team.
In the absence of a regular coach,
Captain Goble has been putting the
men through the paces. The pitching
staff is the greatest source of worry.
Culver's arm is not right yet. This
leaves the bulk of the twirling to
"Bicky" Williams, former Jefferson
High School star, and Phelps, a fresh
man. Williams is in tip-top shape.
"Chub" Weller will do the bulk of
the backstopping. Hayes, a freshman,
can change off with Weller if need be.
Captain Goble is a fixture on first base.
Hutt and "Sim" Smith are the chief
contenders for second base. Seiberts
has forsaken his twirling aspirations
and will make a strong bid for third
base. "Bllnky" Morgan has cinched his
place at shortstop.
Loof, Baldwin and "Blossom" Seely
have survived the scramble for outfield
berths. Loof leads the team in bat
ting. Baldwin, a freshman, is a real
slugger. Seely, an ex-Jefferson High
player, bats left-handed, is a good
waiter and has a peculiar faculty for
getting on the bags.
Manager Everett May and the fol
lowing men will make the trip: Catch
ers, Weller and Hayes; pitchers. Culver,
Williams and Phelps; infielders. Cap
tain Goble, Hutt, Seiberts and Morgan;
outfielders, Loof, Baldwin and Seely.
