EFFECT OF WAR IS SEEN
KUht
American
Equaled
Athletic Marks
Arj
but
or Surpassed,
Feat Fall
to
Reach
World's Record Standard.
KEW.TORK. Feb. .w The effect of
the present war upon American track
and field athletic can be accurately
auced by the fact that for the first
Ime in eome years there waa not I
incle claimant for a new world's rec
ord at the close of the 1)1T season.
This is the first year In a dacade
that one or more performance by
tnertcaa athlete have not been re-
tewed and prepared for acceptance by
he International Amateur Athletic
Federation. .The same situation pre
vail In othr countries, which in nor
mal times dvot considerable atten-
Ion to track and field s porta So far
aa Is known there were but two ath-
letee whose record a, made durlna 117,
ppear entitled to acceptance by the
I A Al F These are Zander, th Hwad-
lab mlddle-ditance runner, and Hack
nor. tha javeltn-th rower, both ef whom
trained undar Ernl HJrtbrC-
Purine the past year elsht American
athletlo records wars equaled or sur
passed, but In no case did the perform
ace reach a world s record standard.
In sharp contrast to this waa tha work
the American swimmers, for both
la natatorlums and in open water the
xponenta of th crawl, trudreon and
other strokes clipped slsable slices
from th best previous ftcures In ir
rloua events.
No less than five new records were
msde under the rules of the Interna
tonal Swlmmlnc Federation and these
111 be duly accepted when a meettns;
that organisation Is held after tha
erlaratlon of peace baa restored con-
Itlona.
No such strlnr ef track records for
th past rear la awaltlns; the action of
International Amateur Athletlo
Federation. There haa been but one
formal conference of thla organisation.
hlch followed immediately after the
formation ef the federation. At that
meetlns; a lone Hat af world's amateur
records was passed upon and accepted
and a list ef rerulatlon drawn up for
the handllnc of any reoord established
In the future. Thla salherinr waa bald
early In 11 In Prases. Within a few
on the the European war broke oat
and ended the activity of the orrul
tloa.
The athletlo associations of the ootuv-
trle which subscribed to the orfantsa-
on of the L A. A. P however, have
pt careful record of all athletlo per
formances which merit the consldera-
Ion of the federation and the will
be submitted to that body at Its first
meetlns; followirnr the close of the war.
At the present time the American Ama
teur Athletic Union haa It records
hlch equal or aurpass exlstlnc fig
ures and these, havlnc been accepted
by the American organisation, will In
m, be presented to the International
roup for Its sanction and stamp of ap
proval.

JOHXSOX, CATCHER, ADDED
TO PORTIaASTD CLl'B.
Bis; "Basher" to Be Given Tryout With
Beaver Squad In Train Ins Camp
Thla Sprlns.
Judge McCredio added another to his
already long- list, of players yesterday
when he signed up O. J. Johnson, who
claims to be a catcher of ability. John'
son Is 25 years of age. stands six feet
two Inches and weighs 195 pounds.
Johnson called on Judge McCredle
and said he was desirous of displaying
his ability in Spring training camp
and gave the Portland owner such a
convincing talk that It took only a
few seconds for the Judge to hand
Johnson the pen and ink and asked
him to affix his signature to on of
the Portland contracts.
Johnson has been spending the Win
ter In Portland working in one of the
box factories. He is minus two fingers
on his right hand, but says he can
catch as good as anyone with a full
deck of digits. Johnson explained to
th judge how Mickey Lalonge, who
formerly sported a Portland uniform,
is in the same predicament as Johnson
and was In the big show for a while.
Johnson caught a game for Spokane
on the Vaughn-street grounds last sea
son when Williams' cohorts played the
Baby Beavers. His arm was not In the
best of shape, so he says, and he went
to Eastern Oregon, where he played
"bush" balL
Johnson Is a bie strarinlne- fellow and
the Portland owner figures he is worth
taking to camp to receive a trial. With
all the pitchers the Judge will have In
camp he'll need about a dozen catchers
to hold them.
JOHN L. SULLIVAN DIES
(Continued From First Page.)
him a National character in fisticuffs
and won him the right to challenge
Paddy Ryan for the championship.
His friends ranged all the way from
the ordinary "fight fan" to many men
oi social ana financial distinction in
the United States, and it is said he was
on chumming terms with the late King
tnwira vil oi England.
He began his fighting career soon
after he was 17, when, as the "Boston
Strong Boy," he took part in amateur
boxing contests in several cities in
Massachusetts, if Sullivan's customary
procedure In his early youth could be
called boxing. Tactics, strategy, plans
of campaign were all swept away when
John La hammered his ruthless, undevi
atlng way to the front. His style waa
atavistic, a return to th simple, prim
itive principle of battering an opponent
into Insensibility. His suocess, coupled
with his free manners, a certain social
triumph and his sab-sequent position
as a seml-puollo character, proclaimed
him a sort of dignitary in the sporting
world.
A.fter his nine-round flrht with
Paddy Ryan, on the strip of green
sward on the Gulf of Mexico, the word
'knockout" waa manufactured by Billy
Madden, Sullivan's trainer, to describe
the effect of his blows when properly
delivered.
Kllraln Fight Hardest.
His hardest fight waa with Jake
Kllrain. It was fought near New Or
leans aad lasted for 75 rounds. That
was the last championship contest in
the united States to be fought with
bare kunckles, under the old rules.
That fight practically decided the
nselessness of trying to beat Sullivan
by combating him in his own sledge
hammer style. A 9-round fight with
Charley Mitchell, a wary and skillful
boxer, seemed to show fighting mana
gers that the great John I might be
vulnerable to a man who could box
well and stay with him long enough
to wear him down. The opportunity
to try this method on the champion
fell to James J. Corbett. The purse
was the largest ever put np In a ring
battle up to that time. The purse was
125.000 and the stakes ,20.000. The
fight that was to end John La's cham
pionship waa fought before the Olympic
Club, of New Orleans. When the fight
was over there was a new champion
of the world. Sullivan was 84 at the
time of his defeat.
Sullivan said himself that he made
$2 000,000 in the fighting business and
that he spent Sl.000,000 of it In buying
drinks for himself and his host of ad
mirers. He had knocked out 200 men. of one
sort or another, in his fighting career,
and finally he said that in a saloon in
Terre Haute, Ind., In 1906. he gave the
Black Bottle." his greatest enemy, mo
knockout wallop. On the occasion of
the decision with regard to the "Black
Bottle," he said: '
"If I take another drink, I hope I
choke, so help me God." He never took
another, but kept up his fight for tem
perance by lecturing occasionally on
the evils of drink for those who have
athletic ambitions.
He was born in nosiun, vtiuuci a,

MILITARY STUNTS FEATURE
Every Eulisted Man to Be Given
Opportunity to Take Part In Some
Event Meet to Be Staged on
Parade Grounds at Post.
On Saturday, March 9.' the soldiers
stationed at Vancouver Barracks will
take part In a big track, field and mili
tary day. All of the men of the S18th
Engineers and Av(ation Service Signal
Corps will take part in the monster
Post Field day affair. There will be
events of every imaginable sport on
the programme being arranged by the
athletic committee, composed of Lieu
tenant Joseph Doman, Engineers Re
serve Corps, chf.lrman ; Lieutenant B.
S. Snowden, Engineers' Reserve Corps;
Lieutenant William Hunicher, Signal

letic director, Y. M. C. A. cantonment.
Besides the regular track and field
events familiar to tha outdoor athletic
fans there will be a number of athletic
feats practiced only in the Army, such
as fencing on horseback, bayonet renc-
ing, feats of horsemanship, tent-pitch
ing, wall-scaling, chariot racing and a
number of other tricks known to the
soldiers.
The athletic committee under the di
rection of Lieutenant Doman is rapidly
rounding the programme into form and
will announce the complete list of
events within the next few weeks. The
athletic meet will be staged on the
spacious parade grounds at the Bar

arranged for. The coming tournament
among the soldiers promises to be the
bifgest thing of the year in tne ath
letic line -at the post and every man
will have a chance to shine, as there
will be something for every soldier
to enter.

Trouble is brewing in Amateur Ath
letic Union circles because of the ac
tion of the Western Association in ex
pelling the Columbian Athletic Club,
of S(. Louis, which had permitted Its
athletes to compete In an unsanctioned
meet-
Just how far tbiB action will affect
the National body it Is difficult to say.
but It is certain that It will not tend
to make conditions better In St. Louis,
where the growing strength of the
Municipal Federation haa been over
shadowing the A. A. U.
Although no specific information has
been given out relative to the trouble,
It would appear that it Is much the
same as that which led to the aliena
tion of the Crescent Athletlo Club, of
New York, from the A. A. U. several '
years ago because of trouble over bas
ketball. Charles A. Dean, the new
president of the Amateur Athletlo
Union, will have an opportunity to
prove his ability as a peacemaker in
the St. Louis row.

Lawson Robertson, coach of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania track team,
has announced an annual Winter track
carnival to be held on February 16. An
innovation of the meet this year will
be military events, such as wall-scal
ing, hand-grenade throwing, rescue
racing and a relay race between the
different companies.

Although Phillips Andover College
will enter its track team In only one
Indoor meet this season, the Boston
Athletlo Club games. In which the 1 1

Clinton E. Bailey, of New York, who
played fullback on the Andover eleven
last Fall, is captain of the relay team,
and the boys who are showing promise
in practice are: W. E. Stevenson, of
Princeton; E. F. Leland, of Brooklyn,

Bnslaesa Managers of Various Major
Clubs Deelare That Task of Han

Baseball magnates certainly could
not have realized what they were do
Insr at the American and National
League meeting at Chicago when they
decided to collect the war tax by
charging 28 cents for 25-oent admis
sions. 55 cents for the 50-cent tickets,
83 cents for the 75-cent tickets and
$1.10 for the $1 seats.
The fans are willing enough to pay.
hut hnalness managers or. mo ma
leae-ue clubs say It will be an Impos
sibility to keep enough nickels, dimes
and. pennies on hand to mak tne

Tn Cleveland It will require
pennies to make cnange lor a.
attendance. In Chicago It will take
32,000 1-cent pieoos to make change for
