THE SUNDAY OltEGOMAX, PORTLAND,' FEBBUAKY 11, 1917. VVYARD-BRONSQN MATCH INTERESTS Seattle Lad, but Recently in Professional Ranks, Has l Good Record. OTHER BOUTS SCHEDULED Jimmy Duffy Will Meet Joe Gorman and Peter Michie WU1 Battle Jack Allen Weldon Wing to -, Meet Joe Richmond. with the arrival today of Archie Wyard, Seattle's boxing' marvel. In terest in the Northwest lightweight championship tilt between he and "Muff Bronson. title holder, will be Increased. The match is scheduled for the Rose City Athletic Club Tuesday sight. Wyard will put the finishing touches on his training at the Butler School of Boxing In the Northwest building. The battle will be the main event of a fine card. Wyard is considered the best boy ever turned out by the Seattle Athletlo Club. Since he turned professional only two months ago he has boxed Harry Casey and Harry Anderson, ex Northwest lightweight champion, to draws and won a decision over Paul Steele, of Tacoma. Portland fans believe that "Muff Bronson. although only weighing 128 pounds without making any effort to take off weight, can successfully cope .with any 133-pounder In the business Jimmy Duffy, Oakland "shadow," who with Bronson and Nichol Simpson, Is In Joe Flanigan's stable, has been working out with the latter two and la ready for Joe Gorman. They are featherweights. Pete Mitchie and Jack Allen. 140 pounders. are scheduled for a slugging match" if advance dope goes for any thing. Weldon Wing will battle Nell Zim merman at 118 pounds, while Elmer Thorsness, who once was considered a great prospect, will take on Carl Martin, of Oregon City, at 130 pounds. Thorsness was once one of the best beta of the Multnomah Amateur Ath letic Club and his contest with Martin is In the nature of a "come-back." Ted Murphy and Jimmy Hurley, bantam weights, will furnish the , curtala ralser. If Nate Lewis' power of persuasion has the right effect, Charley White and Benny Leonard may meet in Madi son Square Garden In the near future. While Nate went to New York to learn the possibility of another White-Welsh battle for the championship, he found n. lot ,more interest displayed to see Charley go against Leonard. Consider the sad plight of Leslie James Darcy, who came away from Australia to get away from war. Jim Flynn, opponent for Jack Demp ey In next Tuesday night's 15-round boxing bout at Murray, Utah, was de layed three days by snowdrifts on his way to the Utah city. The Pueblo fire man was not a bit worse for hia expe rience, although a little rhort on Bleep. m Les Darcy met Jess Willard for the first time last Tuesday In Chicago and, shooting a glance skyward at the tow ering champion, observed: "My eye what a whopper." Darcy and Willard exchanged pleas antries, but said little about the pro posed bout between the two. After ward Darcy offered these opinions of the champion: "He's a big one, but I thought he was longer. But oh, that stomach what a target." Darcy was still watching Willard .when the big fellow left. Another battler's hands have been In sured. Benny Leonard, who is piling up a fortune in the East with his ring skill, is the latest to take out that kind of a policy. Ted "Kid" Lewis, English welter weight, knocked out Kid Graves, of Milwaukee. In the ninth round of a scheduled ten-round bout at New York last Wednesday night. Sports of All Sorts. TWA8 EVER THUS.

A STYMIE may not mean much ' In your young life, but that's because you are not gollufer. But to a gollufer it means well, have you ever had four teeth aching at one time, a freshly busted nose, a barked chin and six speedy bill collectors on your trail7 What's a stymie? Well, briefly: In a game of golluf the object Is to knock the ball into a little hole. Sup pose it comes your turn to "shoot" and your ball is Just a few feet or a few yards from the hole a cinch shot under ordinary circumstances. But it happens that your opponent s ball is directly between yours and the hole. That's a stymie. The rules bar you from moving the ball. If you shoot directly for the hole you'll hit the other fellow's ball, and perhaps score the hole for him. You can't curve the ball around his, because golluf Isn't billiards. And so you are stymied. The gollufing clan is almost a unit In demanding the abolition of the stymie. It wants new laws made whereby the obstructing ball can be moved. But nothing will be done until after the war js over, when a gen eral pow-wow will be held by the golf ing powers of the world. Famous Remarks. "I came to inter Ceasar; not to give him a boost."

Company septet will play the Northwest Auto Hockey Club team in the Ice Palace. The match will start at 8 o'clock, so that more than an hour of ice skating can be in dulged in after the game. Both clubs have been defeated once and have won one game, and tomor row's contest will have a bearing on the league cham pionship. The Mult nomah Amateur Athletic Club team Walter Newborn. ha8 won three games without being defeated, and the position at the top is secure for the time being at least. The Autoists lost to the Winged "M" In a l-to-0 overtime clash, and the Railroaders were humbled 2 to 1 in an overtime engagement. The showing made by the O.-W. R. & N. Company and Northwest Auto, Hockey Club squads so far shows that both are about equally matched, and as a result a good game can be expected tomor row. -. Walter Newburn, the Auto goal keeper, has been scored on only three times, while Gray, of the Railroaders, has had the puck sent past him only twice, both of them in the Multnomah game.

NEW YORK, Feb. 10 Jack Curley. who is associated with Tom Jones in the management of Jess Willard, world's heavyweight champion pugilist, today confirmed the announcement from Albany that a 10-round boxing bout between Willard and Fred Ful ton had been arranged for March 26 at Madison Square Garden.

Jess Willard as serted here today that the announce ment that he had been matched with Fred Fulton for a 10-round bout in New York on March 26 was news to him. Willard added, however, that he un derstood such a match was a possi bility, but that he had not Uen In formed it was a certainty. Tom Jones, Willard's manager, re Iterated his statement of last night in which he said that Willard would not meet Fulton or any other fighter in New Jork on March 26. The Principle of Progress. Bagehot. The customary discipline, which could only be imposed on any early men by terrible sanctions, continued with these sanctions, and killed out of the whole society the propensities to variation which are the principle of progress. 1917 Personnel of Three Big League Clubs.

UNCLE SAMS SPURT NEAR SEASON'S END Three More Hockey Games in Coast Association Race to Be Played Here. SPOKANE IS DUE FRIDAY j -V t- . It J 1 --'"iSfcll'i " " Lester Patrick. Canaries Will 3Iako Their Iiast Ap pearance In Portland Tlien At tendance at Spokane During; Season la Unencouraglng. BT PARL R. GOODWIN. Lester Patrick, manager of the Spo kane Ice hockey team of the Pacific Coast Hockey Association, vwlll bring his Canaries to the Portland Ice Pal ace to meet the Uncle Sams next Fri day night. It will be Spokane's last appearance in Portland this season. Rut three more contests will be played in the local Ice Palace before the season's close. Seattle will ring down the curtain here March 2, against the Uncle Sams and on the same night Van couver will play Spokane at Spo kane. The Uncle Sams will take their fin al workout before Tuesday's game in Seattle, tonight between 7 and 8 o'clock. The E-to-L trouncing given Seattle here Friday night caused Man ager Muldoon, of the Northerners, to issue orders that two hard workouts should be- held by his team before Tuesday's game with the Uncle Sams. It is unfortunate that Portland is at the bottom of the ladder in the league race, but the way they are going now makes It possible that they will yet dispute the championship hon ors. If they can "hook" Seattle Tues day night, Vancouver will be a little nearer, providing that Spokane la de feated on the same night. A strange part of the hockey sched ule Is that Spokane will play two games in succession in Vancouver, B. C, and later the Millionaires will Jour ney to Spokane for two matches.. The Canaries were at Vancouver last night and they remained over until Tuesday night, when they will tangle again. Vancouver will play at Spokane Feb ruary 27 and March 2. The patronage at Spokane for Its first season In professional ice hockey has been far from satisfactory. But one or two crowds have been obtained where there were more than 1000 pres ent, and at -several of the matches only 600 were present. Just what will be done for next year no one seems to know. William H. Royle. the big defense man for the Multnomah Amateur Ath letic Club septet of the Portland Ama teur Hockey Association, was in Spo kane last Tuesday night when Portland lost, 3 to 4, In an overtime clash.

REAL STARS IN LINEUPS Men Who Yearn to Continue In Harness Find Outlet In Paid Contests Public Now Ed ucated Up to Game. BT FRANK G. MENKE. NEW YORK, Feb. 19. Special.) Professional football watch It grow! Once upon a time It was construed as disorderly conduct for a youth to cavort on a "pro" gridiron. The very thought of accepting lucre for risking one's life and limbs in pursuit of a pigskin was repugnant to what is termed "the true lover of football." Star collegians, in the rain, ignored offers to become professionals after finishing their student careers. But all that belongs to the dim and distant past. The prejudice an un just one which always afflicted "pro" football was removed during the 1916 season when some of the best-known college players In America Joined the professional ranks. Professional foot ball, as played last Fall through the Middle West, made a decided hit. And from now on henceforth and forever we may expect to witness an ever in creasing popularity for the "pro" game. Ten and 15 years ago "pro" football was tried out. It failed. That was in the era when the interest in the pig skin combats was confined almost wholly to college men and their fam ilies. The hoi pollol didn't understand the game. Therefore, it didn't turn out to see the "pro" combats. But in the years that have followed the common people have studied football, found it an exciting game to witness and are almost as keen about it as for baseball. Some of the greatest football games ever played in America were staged last Fall in Ohio where three or four "pro" teams operated. Their lineups were constructed almost entlrelv with former college stars. Jim Thorpe, ranking as one of the most marvelous footballers of all time, was the bright particular star of the "pro" firmament. Soucy and King, who played with Harvard a year or two ago, and who made the "All-American" elevens, also appeared in "pro" uniforms. Players from the Universities of Pittsburg, Minnesota.. Illinois. Colgate, George town. Notre Dame. Nebraska, Cornell, Chicago, Washington and Jefferson, Dartmouth and a dozen other big col leges mingled in those "pro" battles. Do you wonder now why those "pro" contests excited so much interest? Why they drew record crowds? Why the games were thrillers from begin ning to end? Every man that played was a star of stars and each played a game that seemed superior to that which he displayed during his college days. And those collegians played with the same spirit that Imbued them during their college days. They didn't play Just because they got money for it. Most of them are wealthy in their own names or come from wealthy families. It wasn't the money that lured them but the chance to taste again of grid Iron battle to pursue the elusive pig skin, to crack lines and circle ends. A football player never loses his love for the game. And he never ceases yearning to get back into harness. Heretofore, the collegiate stars, at the height of their careers, have been forced to quit footballing after gradua tion. Many of them wanted to play afterward as "pros." but none really had the courage, until this season, to plunge into the sport. But more than 40 former satellites took the plunge iu 1916 and o one scoffed to any great extent. That has given courage to the others who have wanted to play "pro" football and didn't have the nerve to risk censure. In 1917 we may expect to see "pro" elevens recruited in many different sections of the country. The bulk of them will be made up of ex-colleglans, who starred in 1913 and 1916 and there fore, still are in their athletic prime. And they'll be real, regular combats. Portland Motor Boat Club Notes. - HE trustees of the Portland Motor I Boat Club held their first regular meeting of 1917 at the clubhouse Wednesday evening. Among other business, it was decided to extend the club moorings 80 or 100 feet farther downstream, to relieve the present congested conditions and af ford better facilities for the new mem bers. A membership committee has been appointed with Fred Lamberson as chairman personally to meet and wel come new and prospective memberB. It was agreed conditions were never more promising than at present for a record membership list. The secretary-treasurer has been au thorized to obtain that long-promised pool table with all appurtenances. A room has been set aside in the club house, and the members are promised an opportunity to "shoot the little balls" is the near future. Chairman Myers, of the regatta com mittee, proposed an opening regatta to be held sometime the first part of May at the club moorings to be followed by a party and dance at the clubhouse. It met with Instant favor by the trustees, and plans are now on the way. The entertainment committee is planning a series of dances at the club house during the Summer months. These will be strictly' informal affairs, but will be madetenjoyable, and are planned to interest the wives, daugh ters and sweethearts of the members. All told, the coming season promises to be one of the most enjoyable ever experienced, and should create more than usual interest In the Portland Motor Boat Club and river sports in general than ever before.
