BY JAMES J. RICHARDSON.
With tha Pacific Coast Hockey Asso
ciation championship season In Its con
eluding- week of play. It Is appropriate
to select the bright stars of the league
for the roll of honor.
Selecting- hockey players for the all-
star team Is on a par with the annual
task of picking an aggregation of ball
players.
Lehman. Vancouver, at goal, has the
edge on Fowler and Murray, In being
cool and fortunate enough to have had
18 years experience at defending the
goal net. It Is practically Impossible
to score on Lehman with a long shot.
Lloyd Cook, of Seattle, gets the left
defense selection because he is a hard
checker, fast skater and a good stick
handler. . He has played a steady game
all this season. Lester Patrick, of Seat
tle, is one of the best defense men in
the league, but he has participated in
only a few games.
JohiMon Is Choaea.
At right defense "Moose" Johnson, of
Portland, is In a class by himself at
breaking up combination plays. He bas
the weight to check and is a dangerous
man at going' down the ice with the
puck. Johnson has the experience and
is a steady player.
"Doc" Roberts, Seattle, is the great
est left-wing player that ever cavorted
in the Coast League. He Is a fine shot,
hard checker and Is usually found in
tWe right place at the right time. Rob
erts plays the boards in great style
and Is one of the hardest men to stop
when carrying the puck.
At center "Cyclone" Taylor, of Van
couver, is the greatest man in the game,
bar none. He is speedy, a wonderful
stick handler and his record in scoring
this and other seasons proves what a
dangerous shot be packs with him.
Taylor is one of the cleanest players
In the league and in the game all the
time.
Oilnas Best Rover.
Eddie Oatman. of the Rosebuds, car
ries off the laurels for the rover's job.
He Is one of the brainiest In the game
and unquestionably one of the hardest
working players that ever pulled on a
skate. He is in the game every minute
of play and is a fine stick handler. Al
though Oatman is not far up in the
point-getting column this year, he is
nevertheless a fine Bhot. Morris, of Se
attle, is a close second to Oatman, but
cannot stand the gaff like Eddio does.
Oatman is also one of the cleanest play
ers in the league.
To Charlie Tobin, of Portland, goes
the right-wing job. He has played a
grand game this season. His back
checking has been a feature in almost
every game and he has shown the fans
more speed than ever before. Tobln is
well up In the scoring column.
Manager Peter Muldoon and the fort-
land Rosebuds leave for Vancouver
today, where they are scheduled td
clash with the Vancouver Millionaires
tomorrow night.
The Rosebuds are going to find the
Canadians a tough aggregation to beat.
If the boys from across the border can
take .Muldoon's warriors into camp and
beat Lester Patrick's Mets next
Wednesday night in Seattle, they might
have a chance of getting Into the play
off If Portland can defeat Seattle on
the local ice next Friday night In the
last game of the season.
trophy, for a decision, he ruled that the
game should be continuous, and that it
would not be if one unpocketed ball
was not left on the table at the termi
nation of play on each of the first and
second nights, and the positions of
the unpocketed ball and the cue ball
marked for resumption 1 of play the
following night.
Now that Taberski has become abso
lute owner of the championship trophy
at issue, a new tournament, and revised
rules are probabilities.

JOHXXY WELCH IN SERVICE
Ex-Oregon Pitcher Enlists In Army,
According to Word Received.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene,
March 2. (Special.) Johnny Welch,
whose record of losing only three
games In four years of intercollegiate
baseball has never been equaled by an
other Oregon pitcher, has turned his
twirling ability against the Boche and
will soon be hurling bombs In France.
According to word received by friends
of Welch on the campus, he has en
listed in the Army and will soon be in
training in one of the camps.
While in the university Welch was
for four years the mainstay of the
Lemon-Yellow nine and was elected
captain for the 191S season. Since leav
ing school he has been employed as a
traveling salesman for a Portland
dental supply house.
TABERSKI'S CONTENTION JCST
Conflict of Rules Gives Rise to
Pocket Billiard Argument.
The protest made by Frank Taberski
in connection with his match for the
continuous pocket billiard champion
ship with Ralph Greenleaf, recently
held in Milwaukee, was a proper one.
He did not wish to break each night,
as was reported, but did wish to have
the ISth ball left on .the table at the
termination of the play the first night,
having been advised by leading bil
liardists that it was the proper pro
cedure. Greenleaf produced a rule which said
that the table should "be cleared," and
the referee, John Scanlan, sustained the
contention.
The dlspute'arose from a conflict be
tween the rules governing the trophy
that was being played for and the rules
of play, one requiring that after 150
balls has been scored on the first night
and the total for two nights reached
300, play must continue until the table
be cleared, the other that only 14 balls
should be pocketed In any frame.
When the conflict was rererred to
Charles P. Miller, who had donated the
BILL HOLDEN. former University of
Oregon football star, has been pro
moted to top sergeant of his company

pany's plants, where
he inspects trucks

has charge of tn

Holden likes his
work and has been
studying hard and
expects shortly to
take the examina
tion for a commis
sion. He has been
stationed in his present location since
last November.
Holden writes in part:
"Tell the boys 'hello' for me.

must say I like it. Have seen a good

anxious to 'go over the top."
"Tell Bill Hayward that he would
be able to rake up a fast track team
around this section of the woods. We
have some good material, but no time
for practice. I expect to go across soon
and my one ambition will then be real
ized. "If you see Johnny Parsons, Leo Ma
larkey or Anson Cornell, tell them I'm
feeling great. You can't feel any other
way with so much snow around."
It looks a sthough President Robert
Blewett. of the' Pacific Coast Interna
tional League, has again fallen fast
asleep at the switch.
A short time ago the league prer.r
was awakened from his peaceful slum
ber by a fusilade of criticism directed
at him and some of his advisers by
writers all over the circuit,
circuit and immediately asked for an
time that he was In favor of a six-club
President Blewett announced at the'
other vote on the question of sending
Bob Brown, of Vancouver, up to Butte
to find out whether or not it was pos
sible to interest the Montana fans in
again placing a team in the P. C. I. L.
Dave Dugdate( of Seattle, and Russ
Hall, of Tacoma, voted against Brown
making the trip, but McCredle, Farr, of
Spokane, and Brown, of Vancouver,
swung the vote in the affirmative and
Brown was instructed to visit the Mon
tana metropolis.
The next heard of Bob Brown he was
advised by a baseball booster of Butte
to delay his trip until the fans held a
meeting and definitely decided on what
the attitude of the fans was towards
placing a team in the league.
That was the last we heard of the
entire matter.
It is up to the fans to sit tight and
await developments. Dave Dugdale
spent one silver dollar last week to in
form Judge McCredle that he would
sure announce before the end of the
weeks news which would be of great
importance to the league.
But Dugdalo must have fallen in
some place. Nothing has been heard
from him through tho press dispatches
or otherwise.
A big, fat envelope lays on Judge
McCredie's desk from President Blew
ett, which is supposed to contain con
tracts of players the Portland magnate
has signed. With Judge McCredie out
of town yesterday, it was impossible to
learn the contents of the missive.
All six of the teams comprising the
Pacific Coast League will start train
ing tomorrow. Bill Rodgers will have
a small army of pastimers reporting to
him at Sacramento. In fact, Rodgers
will have so many players . in camp
that he is very apt to overlook a cou
Dle of bets. That is usually the way.
Wilie, Wolfer, Fisher and Harry Gard
ner will head south tonight for Sac
ramento. Walter McCredie will be a busy man
at "Pnrfprvilln. C.a.. where the Salt Lake
! team will train. McCredie's aggregation
looks to be the most formidable in the
P. C. L. and the former Beaver pilot
ought to bring home the bacon.
That Harry Hannah, former Salt
Lake catcher, will be given a good
chance to make good with the New
York Yankees is pointed out in a two
column article in a New York paper.
The article deals with Hannah's great
work here on the Coast last season
and goes into the history of the "Iron
Man" from the time he saw the light
of day in Lawrence, N. D., June 5, 1891,
the deal wherein the Yanks paid J4000
for Hannah and how Branch Rickey,
of the St. Louis Nationals, lost the
valuable player by not having the nerve
to invest the purchase price. It is
pointed out that Hannah will give Al
Walters a tussle for first-string
catcher.
Trickery One of Late Boxer's
Strong Points.
Clarence Forbes, Who Died Recently,
Clever at Camouflaging.
Camouflaging distress and then
stretching his bewildered opponent on
the canvass was a favorite trick of
Clarence Forbes, who recently died
at Elgin, I1L
Forbes was regarded as one of the
trickiest and hardest punching boxers
ever developed in Chicago. He began
his career as a bantamweight and later
fought as a featherweight. It was a
favorite trick of his to take a punch on
the back of the neck and then wabble
around the ring as if ready to fall.
Tricked into believing that another
punch would finish him, Forbes op
ponent would come tearing in only to
receive a clip on the chin. His record
was dotted with knockouts thus scored.
Old-timers say that Forbes put over
one of the quickest and most amusing
knockouts on record. He was boxing
an "unknown" in a Michigan town sev
eral years ago. When the contest
started Forbes rushed to the center of
the ring and yelled: "Hey, take that
chair out of that fellow's corner." The
"unknown" turned his head toward his
corner." The "unknown," thinking that
his seconds had failed to take his chair
out, turned his head toward his corner.
Forbes snapped over a terrific right
hander to the chin, knocking his foe
completely out.
The incident was so amusing that
Forbes had to laugh himself. His op
ponent never knew what happened.
Walla Walla Defeats Prosser.
WALLA WALLA, Wash., March 2.
(Special.) The Walla Walla High
School basket ball team defeated
Prosser here last night, 60 to 12.
Bill Essick, Vtrnon manager, is back
home from the East and announces he
has a flock of players who will report
to him at training camp this week. Es
sick's latest additions to training camp
privileges will be a new infielder, out
fielder, a pitcher and catcher.
Just to get in shape to help Los An
geles win the flag this coming season,
Zeb Terry. Angel infielder, made an
unassisted triple play last Sunday at
Los Angeles. He was playing with a
team called the Vernon Athletics, which
beat the submarine base team, 6 to 1.
Sam Crawford, Babe Borton, Chad
bourne, Boeckel, Catcher Thomas, of
Boston, and Pete Schneider, Cincinnati
pitcher, were on the Vernon club.
Ehmke pitched for the submarine boys.
With runners on second and first, Bert
Whaling drove a hard liner to left. It
was a hit-and-run play and both run
ners were in motion when Terry
sneared the ball after a great effort.
He stepped on second base and then
chased over to first before that runner
i could get back, making the triple kill
I ing. Bobby Meusel. Vernon first sack
i er. played with the "Subs" and got a
' single and a double, while Sam Chaw-
ford, the slugger, went hitless.

MONTANA WINS FROM W. S. C.
Pullman Quintet Loses by One Bas
ket in Hotly Contested Game.
MISSOULA, Mont., March 2. In a
whirlwind finish, the basketball team
of Montana State University defeated
the Washington State College five here
last night, 22 to 20. Time was called
with the score tied at 19, and an extra
five-minute -period was played.
Larkin, of Montana, won the game
with a sensational shot from the side
lines just before the whistle blew.
W. S. C. led at the end of the first half,
11 to 6.
Grays Harbor Club Plans Growth.
ABERDEEN, Wash., March 2. (Spe
cial.) Members of the Grays Harbor
Rod and Gun Club have started a cam
