March 2. (Spe Willie Meehan. San Fran Cisco heavyweight, has made u his mind that Fred Windsor, one-tim manaser of Barrleau and later han dler of Monk Fowler, was only foolln when he proposed a Meehan-Fulton fight In Ienver. At first blush. Meeha waa decidedly enthusiastic and figured there wasn't a chance for him to lose out. But more recently it has been a different atory. Willie, at first in credulous, haa reached the state where he simply doesn't believe. As the proposition came at the jump, It waa for fight on March 4 In the metropolla of Colorado. But it waa pointed out to Meehan that Fulton couldn't very well fight Frank Moran In New Orleans on February 2S and shoot to Denver In time for another en gagement on March 4. Willie shook his head and later when there came from Windsor a telegram acknowledging postponement of the bout until March IS. admitted the scheme looked funny. Windsor, it might be aald. still Insists that Willie to have the Denver date. He h asked that photographs be forwarded to Colorado for boosting tha match. However, it doesn't sound rtrht. Per sonally I can't see that W indsor is getting anything aave some publicity for himself. Meehan haa already been ordered by the Navy to report for duty with the reserves at ban Pedro on March 18. He thinks he could secure an extension of time from irienas in the service, but that Is doubtful. It'a getting so that when Uncle Sam puts In a call he means business and the matter of outside engagements doesn't cut much Ice. When Brooklyn Al McCoy was taken sick the other night from a nervous breakdown, Meehan substituted on half hour's notice in the bout with Knockout Kruvosky. The affair was a draw, and while it seemed to the au dience that Willie didn't force matters aa he should, the fighter explained that he was not in the best of condition. McCoy, Improved after a couple of days In bed, was on the card Friday and Willie may get a crack at the win ner next Friday night. Meehan was In a position to demand a good-sued medal for that Kruvosky show, and if he can do aa well another time it will help out when it comes to providing for his wife. a a The four-round shows here are con tinuing to draw big houses. The allied promoters did mighty well last week. They played to capacity and there is every Indication they will continue to have good crowds, if the shows hold up to snuff. For several weeks the spec tators were mighty scarce, but the boys persevered in spite of financial disap pointments and now they are reaping the harvest. Willie Hoppe. always a good drawing card In San Francisco, Is back in the harness for fights, and while the supply of taleht is not as good as was once the case, still there are enough of the huskies to causa the fans to turn out. Further, the promoters are treating the public fairly. When McCoy was taken alck at 3 o'clock on the afternoon of his scheduled fight with Kruvosky they didn't call off the bout or put on a weak substitute. Instead they paid Meehan what he asked and It wasn't any small medal at that. Also they had their spielers out on the street and a signboard In front of Dreamland rink to tell the crowd about tha change: warning them in advance so there could no no holler. That's the way to treat the paying public If you want the confidence of the men who support your game, you've got to be on the level with them; treat them Just aa you would like to he treated. a a a Ad SantelL wrestler. Is trying to work his way back into favor in San Francisco, by the simple trick of let ter writing. Ad sent another long com munication to some of his local friends one day this week. He explained right off the reel that the reason his bout with Caddock was cancelled was be eaught the champion waa afraid of him. Now, it is pretty well known here In San Francisco and elsewhere that the Army issued an order recently that barred Caddock and other profession als from accepting engagements that would take them away from their camps. Also, remembering how Joe Stecher and Plestina beat Santell, we can hard ly conceive that Caddock would be afraid of Ernst. Ad further explains about his dis graceful showing on the Coast with Marin Plestina, He says he was woe fully out of condition when he accepted that match, but thought Plestina would be easy for him. When the match was on, much to his surprise, ne round Plestina had grown stronger and couldn't be handled. At the bottom of his letter tbe im pudent Santell puts in a dare when he remarks that "he thinks even Frank Schuler will not refuse him a bout when the people demand It.' Ad still has an idea that he Is just as big a card as was ever the case and that all he has to do Is to put In an appearance. I grant you that Santell 1 doubtless be more or less of a drawing card, but he will never be the hero, such as he was before all the exposes and hia own quitting tactics. There was no show in the wrestling sport this week, but next Tuesday night will see Pat Connolly meeting Konstantine Roumanoff. The latter isn't much, when you try to compare him with first-chop matmen, but he's good enough to help start the sport. a a a With the sale of the San Francisco baseball club to Charles H. Graham, George Putnam, Dr. Charles Strut and Thomas J. Stephens and the passing of Berry, the situation has cleared consid erably. I doubt whether- this sale has been made In time to boost the game as should have been the case, but it will help some. Conditions demanded a change and that Henry Berry, once aa popular a manager as ever stepped Into the league, should retire. Henry wasn t giving as much of his attention to base ball as he should. Instead of build ing up his machine he was tearing it down. Hia dismissal of Manager Harry Wolverton, particularly Just when the Seals were on a winning stride, shat- ered local confidence. Berry Is out. bag and baggage. The new men, or at least one of the new men Charles Graham Is well known. Charlie started his career at Santa Clara College, where so many stars have been produced. He afterward was catcher for Mike Fisher's Tacoma Tlg- rs and still later was connected with the Sacramento club in an executive capacity. Graham knows haseball and he knows business. Putnam, one of his associ ates, comes of a wealthy Sacramento family and it Is understood they are financing him. Putnam himself was porting editor of the Sacramento Bee for several years and a atrong sup porter of baseball. Dr. Strub. a dentist, was a baseball player himself both here and In the Northwest and since then a fan. Of course T. J. Stephens is known. Orlgin- lly he was in baseball with Berry In the Los Angeles club.. When Hen bought out Cal Kwing he took a block f stock and now. haa an even larger Interest, Stephens is slated to be treasurer of the club and will pay more ttentlon to the game than In the past. Aa goes San Francisco in baseball so goes the Coast League If these chaps can't make the game pay, they might aa well close up shop until after the war. i CLASSES TO EXHIBIT Reed Extension Gymnasium Boys to Appear. PROGRAMME TO BE VARIED Students iu Course to Put on Exlilbi tlon of Boxing, Wrestling, Bar Work, Races and Stunts on Wednesday Night. AH sizes, ages, nationalities and de scriptions of boys will appear in the extension course gymnastic exhibition In ihe Reed College gym next Wednes day evening. The boys are training en thusiastlcally for the event and will undoubtedly make it the best exhibition they have yet given. Amongr the many hundreds of young fellows who attend the classes regularly a number of ex cellent boxers, wrestlers and mat and bar workers have been developed, so a number of excellent events are as sured. Mayor Baker, who has shown an en thusiastic Interest in this excellent work which Reed College is doing, has promised to give a talk on some subject of interest to the boys. President Foster, of the college, has promised the boy an Illustrated talk on The Dogs or War. Dr. f osters descriptions and pictures of this In teresting development in modern war ware are awaited eagerly by the young sters, who all have an intense interest in the war. Programme to Begin at 7i30, The evening's programme will begin at 7':3u with a maze run by all the boys. This will be followed by a series of "stunt" races between teams select ed from the various little fellows' classes. Then will come Mayor Baker's talk, followed by boxing, wrestling, swatting contests and an excellent ex hibition of tumbling, bar work and pryamld building by a special squad of skilled gymnasts who have been work ing for several years under Physical Director Botsford. Dr. Foster's talk will be the final number. This exhibition marks the close of a most successful year for the Reed extension courses. The free classes priven every Monday, Wodnesday and Thursday night and on Saturday morn ing have been attended by many thou sands of youngsters and young men who do not have access to school gym nasiums and cannot afford to belong to the various athletic clubs and associa tlons. Here in the Reed gymnasium Instructor Botsford and his student as sistants. Rowan Whealdon, Loyd Hab erly. Bruce Shumway and Reed Ells worth, have given the boys special in struction in any branch of gymnastics and athletics in which they are inter ested, as well as teaching- the boys to obey orders and respond to discipline, Youngsters Show Results. Under this training the youngsters have developed noticeably physically and a number who were at first unruly and more or less dishonest have been converted Into well-behaved, hones workers. The numbers in attendance have Increased steadily during the year, total attendance during January, 1918, being- over 1300. Though the approach of Spring weather makes further in door work undesirable, Botsford is lay ing his plans for an even more suc cessful season next year, when he plans to give free gymnasium night classes in several parts of the city. In May of this year he plans to hold a track meet on the Reed College Ath letic Field, opening the entry list to any boy in Portland During the re maining months of the college year special examinations will be given at the college gymnasium on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3 to 6. At these hours any boy who wishes to take special or corrective exercises of any sort may come for examination and have a schedule of corrective home ex ercises made out for his guidance and benefit. At this coming exhibition, as well as to the various classes given, the public and the boys of Portland are invited and urged to attend free of charge. B Wins Bet. PRINEVILLE, Or., March 1.

Oregon, center. Cook. Washington, guard. Steers, Oregon, guard. Howard Ray, O. A. C. is one of th best all-around players and the onlv veteran hooper in the conference. He has played three years at Corvallis, captained the Aggies In 1917 and 191s and coached the quintet this season. He is the best man in the conference at playing the floor and taking lonir shots, at which he is very accurate. Krueger, O. A. C, is a natural bas ketball player.. He handles himself well and Is a wonder at running shots. He shoots with either hand, which makes him a hard man to guard. In the 10 conference games he scored SO field goals, and only five were scored against him. They were made by Sorenson in two games. In eight games not a point was made by Kruegcr's op ponents. There was not a real good center in the conference this year, so, to make the conference quintet stronger, Bis sett would be the ideal selection. He Is absolutely the best standing guard In the conference. Bissett played cen ter a great part of the time last sea son, and his work received meritorious comment. Sorenson, W. S. C, was one half of the Washington Aggies' team. He is adept at guard, a hard fightr-r and shoots accurately. . He made four field goals against Krueger of O A. C. in one game, which is more than all the other guards combined made on him during the season. He was the player who threw fouls for the W, S. C. "Butts" Reardon, O. A. C, is a won derful running guard. He Is regarded as the fastest man in the conference. He runs down, takes a shot at the bas ket and gets back to his man like a shot out of a cannon. He mac'.e 21 field baskets this season. Ray, hi;:h man at forward, only made 10 more baskets than Reardon. Reardon held his op ponents down to four baskets, which is considered excellent guarding. It is not often that four players off of one ' team makes the all-star ag gregation, but the excellent work of the Aggies this season earns for th players all the honors that can be Rive them. With Howard Ray acting a coach and captain, the Aggies wot every game of the season against ir dependent and intercollegiate quintetc The second team is much harder ti select than the all-star outfit. It mufl be remembered that the majority ot the players this season were of mediocre ability. DIRECTOR GETS OFFER OTTO MALTHIS IS CONSIDERED FOR POSITIO.V AT UNIVERSITY.
