FAIR BLOW FELT IN 1915 Record Crowds So Far Promise . Season of Well-Filled Seats and Improved Incomes, Says Harry B. Smith. BY HARRY B. SMITH. SAX FRANCISCO. Cat.. April 8. (Special.) All signs point to the healthiest baseball season for the Coast League that the magnates have expe rienced for some lime in the past. Henry Berry, the McCredies. Leavitt sind Cook, of Oakland, to say nothing of the millionaires who are in the pame chiefly for the pastime thusly afforded, accordingly smile most broadly. You can't make the financiers be hind, baseball in the Wets sore by an assertion of this sort, for they have bad quite enough of th'e lean seasons to yearn for the big; crowds and their quarters and half-dpllars clinking in the box office. Baseball is a good sport under any circumstances, but it is far better when there is plenty of the dough to be had. I.enKiie Once Senr RopkK. San Francifico" is and always has been the backbone of this organiza tion, and when things are breaking badly in this section the balance of the league is apt to go hungry. Two years ago Cnl Kwing pulled that cele brated bloomer to be known as "F.wing's Folly." Jn short it was .the new park out in a district that abound ed in fog and cold winds. The league that year almost went on the rocks. The magnates were gasping for breath when they finished their year's work, and one of the re sults was the sale of the San Fran cisco Seals to Henry Berry and his associations by Kwing and Ish. Last year better times were antici pated, but along came the San Fran cisco F.xposition and knocked the ever lasting spots out of the sport( in this section. ExpoMitinn Set Hack CJnme. Local people were more given to vis iting the Exposition grounds than they were to attending the ball games. They pulled that time-honored saw about "being able to see a ball game any old time and an exposition only in the few months that it was to last." The National pastime suffered in con Fequence. This is another year, and in far as can be anticipated nothing lias appeared on the horizon to inter foer with crowds from start to finlsn. interest has been at a higher pitcn because the teams have been kept away from the home grounds. You folks in Portland can hardly appreciate how the interest has died away as a result of the Spring games that in the past have been played with the Chicago White Sox. -Xttniellon In Explained. For a matter of four weeks local fans would look over the San Francisco talent so that by the time the Coast League opening came to hand there would be nothing left to say about the boys at home. For three weeks this season the San Francisco players remained at San Jose. Of course they participated in exhibition games, and a few of the fans made the trip to see their favorites, but on the whole there were no onlookers. As a result, when they returned home last Tuesday the biggest crowd that ever pressed through the gates at Rec reation Park took advantage of the op portunity to be on hand. The receipts for the day in San Fran cisco were estimated at $4000. Salt Lake and Los Angeles did even better, so that Berry predicts every team owner will receive J3000 for his share of the receipts, which are pooled for such occasions. Later in the week the attendance has been such as to bear out the prophets in their forecast that baseball is on the hum. Of course there are bound to be some poor weeks here and there as the clubs settle to the pennant race, but that sort of thing is to be expected. The best is the spirit that is on tap and the wholesome desire to see ball games. Magnates may not he turned into millionaires all in a matter of seven months, but they will be encouraged if they can show a fair return on their investment. JESS WILLARD will about serve out the average reign of the heavy weight king. Corbett, as heavyweight champion, ruled five years; Fitzsimmons ruled Jour; Jefferies' term of active service was five years, while Johnson main tained his supremacy for the same 3eriod. Five years seems to be the grand average, and it will be at least four years before Jess Willard is dethroned unless he gets too fat to waddle around the ring and is forced to abdi cate on account of surplus flesh. Xo Match In Sight. It would be foolish to match Fulton, Moran or any other heavyweight' with the big Kansan for some time to come. The Syndicate must stick to the cir cus either become a part of the three linged show, the elephants and the pink lemonade or arrange a set-up. In which case, if the public falls, it will Very justly deserve the eminent sting ing that will follow. You can take a cigar store Indian and headline him into a plausible con tender, but never into a championship. Circusi for Syndicate. No, it's the circus for the Syndicate Jiow. One may be born every minute, and there are 507.600 minutes to the year but they don't all fall for the tame brand of bunk. Frank Moran looked to be the next best man in sight. He had one chance. That was to take an ax or a shotgun into the ring. Courage is a rare qual ity. But without the rest of the tools it gets you little but a bloody nose and a sable eye. That is about all Moran's courage got him. He would have collected the $26,000 without It. If Moran is the next best man and he probably i. Willard is so far be yond all real competion that not even the highly commercialized instincts of .lack Curley and Tom Jones should lave the nerve to start another af fair. AVhaf the Vac? What's the use? Here is a champion 50 or 60 pounds heavier than the r.ext veal contender: a champion who is faster, stronger, more skillful and fully as enduring: who isn't a great champion because he lacks the fighting instinct of his profession, but who h;ts t plarid sort of courage that will take .

Winner of the Tournament and National Woman FrnclDK Champion, and 3XI.HM Margaret Stinifton. Mrs. Charles H. Voorhies won the championship title at the tournament held at the Fencers' Club, New York, beating Miss Jessie Pyle, titleholder, and five other Quaker women, and all contestants from New York. This was Mrs. Voorhies' first appearance in a championship tournament and she surprised everybody by her victory. Mrs. Voorhies had her arm well extended and she parried and attacked comme 11 faut, as the Frenchman have it, whereas most of the other participants persisted in using the bent-arm attack, which made most of their touches void. Some amusement was provided for the spectators by the judges of the contest, who were at times called upon to decide just where the waistline of the contestant was, as one of the rules states that whenever the point of the foil strikes the opponent above the waistline a touch must be called. The trouble lay in the fact that most of them did not seem to know where the waistline was located and several times had to appeal to the contest tants themselves for a decision on the pointv much and go far the courage that comes with a sure knowledge of su periority. The man who beats Willard in the next year or two must be a big man and a good boxer; a ke.en ring general, who can take punishment and who can hit: a man who knows how to use his lists and feet in a skillful way. Where is he? Answer: He isn't. The Lone Shadow. There is now but one shadow above Willard's igloo. That is surplus flesh. He fought Johnson a year ago at 245 pounds. He put in five weeks reducing for the Moran fight. He started weighing 272 pounds in his clothes, which means about 262 pounds stripped. After five weeks of hard work he finished weighing 259J pounds at ringside. In those five weeks he was able to take off exactly 2 Vz pounds. On the r.ight of the fight he looked about as he did five weeks ago. The thick rolls of meat were still there. On Ahead. Willard is going to find it harder and harder to prune away this surplus flesh. One glance at him five weeks ago was enough to know that he would never fight at 250 pounds again. By the end of another year he will find it hard to train below 265 or possibly 270. It was this extra weight that drove Butch Schmidt out of baseball. Each season the Braves' star found it harder to get in condition. His training weight went from 220 to 240 in two years, and then he decided the job was beyond him. It may be that within two years Willard will be forced to retire or give battle as a fat man in poor shape to go beyond ten rounds. The Penalty. Granting Willard his share of power and speed, it was bulk more than any other feature which gave him his crown. It would be one of the tricks of fate if the bulk that did so much to lift him up should turn and be the main factor in dragging him from the top. And it would be no great surprise to see this happen. No heavyweight champion has yet retired unbeaten. Jeffries was going to quit, and so was Johnson. But they both came back that one time too often. Yet Willard may be the first to break this law of the game, especially as he doesn't care for the sport. When he begins to find what a .job he will have slipping below 270, he may turn the crown adrift and volun tarily resign the sceptre. The champion. In condition, has put on 15 pounds in a year. Another 15 pounds in 1917 will do more toward crowding him out of the frolic than all the heavyweights in the land, tossed into one big heap. The Financial Side. In a financial way Willard and Moran were overpaid about four to one. Twelve thousand five hundred dollars for Willard and $6000 for Moran would have been fair enough. In the same way. 13,000 people paid over $150,000 to see a fight that wasl not worm over joo.uuo. xne crowd rushed to pay $25 in order to get $10 worth of stuff. But that fault belongs to the crowd that was willing to fall that hard. It was no more a $25 fight for the individual pocketbook than the average cigarette is a 25-cent smoke.

GRASS GREENS TO BE USED Two Hall Foursome for Men to lie Held on Portland Links- Next Sunday Mixed Foursome to Ue Played April 16. Grass greens will be played on to dav for the first time this season at the Portland Golf Club. There are a large number of entries for the "Cri terion tournament." It is expected that at least 50 players will start the con test for the cup put up by the handicap committee. The committee Is pleased at the in terest the members have shown in their effort to provide them with a contest for the week-end's play. It feels sure that these various contests will be an incentive to steadier and more consistent play on the part of the members. The player who goes to the links only to -drive the ball from one spot to an other does not concentrate his mind on the game and therefore will not im prove as rapidly as the one rvho is anxious to make a good showing or win a competition. In this competition the winner is the player whose net score is nearest the average of the three low gross scores. Players place the handicap they wish against their names when entering the contest. All cards must show 18 holes played and the three lowest scores at the end of the day's play are averaged and the player whose gross score, less the handicap taken, is nearest to the average of the three low net scores takes possession of the cup. This gives the poorest player a chance if he chooses a handicap which will make his score equal to the aver age of the three lowest scores played. A second prize will be offered to the entry of the opposite sex from player winning the cup. 'The prize will be a club to be made up by the club profes sional. A two-ball foursome for men will be held Sunday morning. April 16. at the Portland Golf Club. The tournament committee wishes to have it announced that each player should select the part ner with whom he intends to play and sign the entry list at the club as soon as possible. Entrance fee will be 50 cents for a side. Players who have not got handicaps at the club will play from scratch. Play will be for 18 holes under model play rules, a side receiving a handicap equal to three-eighths of their com bined medal play handicaps. The low net score for a side wins the trophy which will be selected -by the handicap tournament committee and which will be announced later. Entries for this tournament will start at 12 P. M. to day. Sunday afternoon, April 16, a mixed foursome (two-ball) will be held at the Portland Golf Club. Men and women entering this tournament who are not handicapped will play from scratch. A small list o women players having handicaps is posted at the clubhouse. The handicap and tournament com mittee has announced that players should select their partners with whom they intend to play and enter this tour nament by signing the list at the club house. The entrance fee is 50 cents for a side. Play will be for 18 holes, under medal play rules, a side receiving three-eighths of their combined medal play handicaps. Low net score for a side wins the trophy, to be announced later. K. 11. BRYANT, Editor. Contributions of pames, endinga, problems or items of Interest, criticisms and club notes solicited.
