11 BASKETBALL SERIES CLOSES THIS WEEK FAST CHRISTIAN BROTHERS ALUMNI BASKETBALL TEAM WHICH WILL MEET SOUTH PARKWAY TEAM AT THE Y. GYMNASIUM TUESDAY NIGHT. MAY 3 IS FAVORED . FOR C0RVALLI5 MEET Five Games Remain to Be Disposed Of. Definite Announcement to Be Made in Short Time. LINCOLN SURE OF TITLE COLLEGE RULES TO GOVERN Washington and Christian Brothers Teams Scheduled to Meet League Leaders. Many Inquiries Rece!cd at Oregon Agricultural College) From Schools Tliat May Enter. THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, MARCH 9, 1919. Five games are billed to be played this week and the 1919 Interscholastic basketball season will be over. Tills Beaaon has been a very successful one and several exceptionally good teams have been uncovered and a number of classy players brought forth. The only mar on the game all season was the luck which befel the Columbia uni versity team when the victory over Lincoln was protested and granted be cause it was found that one of the Co lumbia players was ineligible to comr pete this season, having played a few minutes with the Christian Brothers basketball team last year. Although Lincoln was awarded a vic tory over Columbia, it was recorded in the books that the prep school basket tossers registered a 19 to 13 victory over the kailsplitters and they have that much satisfaction. Coach George "Ad" Dewey's Lincoln high school basketball team is as sure of winning the championship as Ben eon Tech is of losing it. Lincoln will play two games this week, meeting Washington tomorrow afternoon, and is scheduled to clash with the Christian Brothers quintet on Friday. Lincoln would have to bo defeated in both games to stand any chance of losing the title. " Washington has an outside chance of scoring a victory, but the doubt is very hazy, while it is hardly possible that the Christian Brothers team has a chance to wallop the league leaders. If the Lincoln team is to go to Eu gene to represent the Portland In terscholastic league in the race for the Etate championship, the game with Christian Brothers will have to be played earlier in the week, as the championship series slated for Kugene under the auspices of the University of Oregon will start on Friday, March 14. The Washington-Lincoln -game may bo played on the Y. M. tV A. floor, al though a location has not been chosen for the contest. Following are the rest of the games scheduled for this week: Tuesday James John vs. Benson. Wednesday Columbia vs. Hill. Thursday Jefferson vs. Franklin. With baseball as the next sport to occupy attention of the interscholastic athletic followers, students of the various schools are already limbering up their arms and preparing for a strenuous season. With each school having a number of letter men back in the fold there is every prospect of a great season. As en example every letter man but one will be back for this year's baseball nine at Hill Military academy. Wilbur Nelson, who was a good all around athlete at Hill, is back in school after a year's service in the navy and will be a welcome addition to the baseball team. Verne Johnson, who pitched some great ball for Hill last season, Is back and is expected to do some good work. Other last year men whom Coach Irvine will have available are: Al Ber ger, Heyden, Dick Ball, Phil Boyd, Rus sell Page, Wilbur Haines, Irving Day and Terry Livermore. New men who look promising at Hill are Royal Con ley, Harold Dooley, Errold Halton, Sliibum Kight, "Stub" Pendleton, Rob inson. Johnny Smith, George Wright, Fred Rooper, Tyle Brown. Bert Hath away, Thomas Teek, Tom Pollard, George Crawford and Norrls Coleman. Jefferson high school is still angling for a baseball coach and several well known players have been mentioned as possible men for the job. Jefferson will have a fair smattering of letter men back and with Norman YoumanB and Louis Coulter eligible for baseball this year Jeff should have a strong team. COLLEGE BOXERS LIMITED K. C.

V U HQPPE STARTS PLAY YOUNG BILLIARD CHAMPION RECALLS GAMES OP CHILDHOOD. Exhibition Match Games Will Be Played at Bowie & Caldwell Par lors Monday and Tuesday. BY WILLIE HOPPE. "World's Champion Balk-Line Player. I began to play billiards when I was 3 years old. Dad would not let me run around the streets with the other boys so I passed the time knocking the balls around on his table. That Is one of the secrets of my success. Ey the time I was 6 my kindergarten work with the cue was over. I had started on my career. I went to New York and gave an exhibition when I reached my eighth birthday. What an event that was for me. All the New " York sporting writers featured me as a "boy won der" with a great future. Many pre dicted me as a future champion. It certainly was a big day for me. Four years later I played my first match game. Al Taylor, a well-known professional of the day, agreed to a match at Chicago. We played for 1U0 a side.' I won, 300 to his 207. and was the proudest boy in the United States. I felt that I could beat any one and immediately wanted to play the best in the world. It is a great feeling to win when a boy. My ambition to become a great bil liard player Increased. I loved the game and wanted to reach the very top rung in the ladder. For 13 years now I have been cham pion. Still I am sure that I can truth- ully say I am still wearing the same BAY SECTION FEARS TOO MANY BOUTS WILL Four Shows Each Week Certain, and Fans May Tire of Fistic Entertain ment, Says WTriter Parente Remodels Coliseum for Four-round Fights. BY HARRY B. SMITH. I s AN FRANCISCO. March 8. (Spe- clal.) San Francisco and the bay , section is in for a lot of fights in tho next few weeks unless some of the promoters become discouraged and throw up the eponge. For a long time the allies of Dreamland rink had things pretty much to themselves. though of course there was Al Young's Association club to be .considered. Then Coffroth decided that when he could land the big matches he would cut In as a promoter. Jimmy Rohan opened up In Oakland and Tommy Simpson, after his eastern trip with Battling Ortega, came back with re newed energies. And the very latest is Louis Parente, who has persuaded some "angel" to spend $9000 in putting the Coliseum rink into shape for four-round fights. Now Coffroth, of course, doesn't in tend showing every week only when he has a big card that will gather the coin into the house. Still, he has to be counted, and that makes four clubs in San Francisco, with two in Oakland. We are certain of four shows each week, and that's altogether too much. The police say they will not interfere ust so long as the promoters don t fight among themselves or attempt to stage two shows ojj the same night. But even so. that's more in the way of fistic entertainment than we need or even can stand. It's bound to be case of the survival of tho fittetst- The danger, as anybody can appreciate. s that people, disgusted with reading about so much in the fight une, will put a stop to proceedings. Parente opened his new fight houee last Tuesday night. No end of money has been used in refitting the Coli seum once before a fight .arena, but ordinarily used as a roller skating1 rink and dance hall for its new task. Parente has back of him come chap who Is willing to spend bis dough. Al- THE RECENT BOWUNS MAKES ONE. WOMDER IU T.notCg, OF MUCH SINCE &0YH00P QAVi Ill size hat. Some say there Is little 1 change from the kid that had to be lifted on the soap box to play a shot. My most important match? Why, that was my tilt against Maurice Vig naux in Paris, with the world's cham pionship as the prize. I was only 18 years old at the time and was going across the ocean to play for the bil liard crown of the world. I was not worried; a little excited perhaps, but still certain of winning. I felt sure of winning Just as sure as the French were that Vignaux. their Idol, would crush mo by a ridiculous score. I won the title and have held It since. I am proud of it. Tho man who wins it must be a better man because there is not enough gold in America; no, not in the entire world to buy it from me. Defeating.. Vignaux gave me the greatest sensation, but Cor genuine hard playing my match against the late Jake Schaefer was the hardest. He was a wonderful player. We were nip and tuck for the greater part of the match, but I won out by scoring 500 while 472 buttons were on his string. Twice during the game Schae fer was 100 points ahead of me. I'll never forget that match. I have made five trips to Paris. On the last trip I ran C2i in a match game with Louis Cure, a record that still stands. . Hoppe will play exhibition match games assisted by George Butler Sut ton, former champion, at Bowie and Caldwell's billiard parlors Monday and Tuesday at 3 and 8 P. M. Sutherland to Coach. EASTON. Pa.. March 8. (Special.) Dr. John B. Sutherland, formerly star player of the University of Pittsburg football team, has been appointed to coach the Lafayette football team next year. The announcement .was made by Thomas Kisher of Philadelphia, chair man of the athletic committee of the board of trustees. INJURE BOXING ready something like $9000 bas been "sea -ana they ao tell me there's more '"".J1" 'ru,B- The new arena has a seating capacity of 10,000, which will accomodate the fans for most of the fights. The bleacher section is circular and built to stay. Tho gallery alone will take care of 5200 patrons and there are al most as many more seats on the main floor. Exits and entrances have been ar ranged to handle the crowds in good shape and there should be no trouble on that score. While the civic auditorium. naturally. Is a finer arena, there's al ways (he chance that the supervisors will shut down on fights. If that ever happens, the Coliseum will be In a po sition to grab the big events. Jim Coffroth as good as made the statement this last week that racing and booze are to be divorced so far as the Tijuana race course is concerned. Tijuana isn't opened as yet and nobody knows when it will be ready. But when it is, the big bar that ha always been one of the favorite features likely will be missing. The story came about over tho gossip that Coffroth was organizing a syn dicate to open up a resort at Tijuana and sell liquor to the thirsty Amer ican tourists who are going to bo out of luck after June 30. But Coffroth denies it absolutely. Ho admitted there are a hundred thou sand men who figure they will make fortunes by opening saloons and re sorts just over the. border lino Into Mexico, but ho says positively that ho Is not one of them. "Racing Is so much bigger a prop osition than booze," he remarked, "that 1 don't care whether we sell any liquor at Tijuana, when wo are allowed to open up again. As a matter of fact, we haven't a bottle of liquor on the premises. When we were forced to close because of the passport ruling, I sold what stock we had on hand. Since then we have not purchased a SPORT EVENTS OF ENTHUSIASM . IN TOWN - HAVE. fltN CHANGED I , x ua i co;... j Ga 1 "4 : barrel of whisky and so far as I am concerned, wo are not going to do so." Coffroth left this week for San Diego to look after some business af fairs la connection with the truck, lie says, however, that any announcement as regards tho opening of Tijuana is premature; that he has nothing of the sort in mind. Ha will await the ruling of the federal government on that score. Just as soon as the word Is given. Tijuana will be In tho running. It is hoped tho track will be ready for tho winter season of 1919-1920. Willie Ritchie will leave for New York the fore part of this coming week. He Is going cn a combined business and pleasure trip, but will not do any fighting. A lot of the prdmottrs be lieve Willie ought to strike whllo tho Iron is hot; that now is the time for him to gather the kale. But Ritchie has been a clever lad financially, as well as in the ring, and it isn't likely he is going to lose a whole lot. After a month of travel. If Ritchie wants to take on Benny Leonard In Newark, N. J., for an eight-round, no decision contest, it can undoubtedly be arranged. Ho already has an offer of S7500 for Just such a scrap and he is rather inclined to accept. Leonard plans to fight his way back to New York by easy stages and it be gins to look as if the middle of April will see the two boys tearing again. Wnilo Jackson, New Yorli light weight, so highly touted by Benny Leonard as one of the best, came a cropper in his bout with Frankie Far ren last week. Referee Toby lrwln gave tho verdict to Farren. I thought Toby was right, but the other critics. without an exception, held there should have been a draw. Jackson started like a flash in the first round, but he slowed down after that. He has a bad habit of tele graphing his right hand punch that Is said to be his knockout blow and he mas) get over the same. Last Friday night Jackson took on Tommy Rich ards, the Los Angeles lightweight, who gave Muff Broneon a surprise party. and it looks as if the New Yorker and Farren will be rematched. Jackson insists that it Is his right and the promoters are willing to sat isfy him on that score. Jim Flynn, who was knocked out by Fat Larue In a round on Washington's birthday, is still hanging around, try ing to get a return match. Flynn and hia manager are the only ours who see any reason for a return. I can't see where the request will be granted, and its not likely at all. While I didn't see the fight, from all accounts Flynn was fairly and squarely beaten. Ho Is. or ought to be, 'out of the THE WEEK AS PICTURED BY tt r i '' ' ! ' V i V - f ! tj-! v - -. . .

Baseball training this season is going to be confined very largely to S.m Francisco and vicinity. Already the workouts have started in a small way and by Monday every team will bo in the thick of it. The Seals are located at Santa Clara with their sleeping quarters in ban .Tos. Crockett, not far away, has the Portland crew, with Salt Lake at Pitts burg. Oakland itt going to train at home and the same is to be said of Sacramento. From all T can learn, the teams are to bo considerably strengthened and there obgnt to be a good season. It may take some littta time for base ball to come back aftor the l.ipse of last )ar, but it la bound to return, for the people must have rorae amuxeinent. The entrance into the league of the northwest clubs is going to add to the rivalry and that will help out a lot. Sam Langford brought with him to he coast as his sparring partner a Ight heavyweight of Chicago who ooks as if he might deliver. Tho chap's name Is Tony Melchoir. He weighs ISO pounds and Is an upstanding lad. Langford has been tutoring Melchoir for the past rlx months. He has a good straight left to the face and a lard right cross. In his workouts witli Langford bo looked particularly good. Indeed, he given a better Impression than did Jack Dempsey when the lat ter made his first start here. You never can tell how a boy is going to aevelop. but I'd like to see more of this lad in aclion around San Francisco. YANKS TO PLAY BASEBALL PROGRAMME IX ARMY OF OCCU PATION TAKES I ORM.

Tho athletic pro gramme to be followed throughout the occupied area in Germany and at all camps of the American expeditionary force in France during the term of service of the armies of the United States overseas is rapidly taking defi nite form. In this Important field sanctioned and controlled by the of ficers of the army, baseball will soon share attention with boxing. Director Dowd needs no intrductlon to American fans, having managed ma jor league teams and played wherever the nationa' game has been established as an Institution in America. He has been identified with the St- Louis, Bos ton, Philadelphia. Washington, Cleve land, Chicago and Milwaukee teams In major league ball and has for many years been the guiding star of minor league teams. Dowd enjoys another qualification for his new duties. He Is a good mixer in the sense of having a happy faculty of "getting along with the boys and will have little difficulty In getting results from the very start of the base ball season which will open with the first Intimation of the approach of the French springtime. Today, before leaving for a general survey of the baseball prospect, he said: "Whatever conditions I may find, there Is no doubt but that the army in Germany may have a fine brand of baseball. There is much good talent In the army and, now that It is necessary to find relaxation for the men who are awaiting discharge from the service, there is no reason why the very best of it should not bo used. You may be sure that no pains will be spared to give the A. K. F. a big league brand of base ball as eoon the the weather will per mit." Rldgcficld Team Organizes. RIDGEFIKLD. Wash.. March 8.

Itaiing Conldcrcl Belter Thau lliat or Bod l"Ulcr, Who Played in l'err Contorts. Joe Gedcon. one-time wearer of a Pacramento uniform, later a New York Yankee and now of tho St- Louis Browns, was the ranking second base man ln the major leapues for the season of 1918. Gedeon enjoyed the distinc tion of taklne part ln every time played by his club during: the season and he traveled alone from early April until Labor day with an average of only one error for each 43 chances he was called upon to handle. Uedeon cloecd the season with a fielding averapo of .977. The same mark was obtained by Bod Fisher of the Cardinals, but Fisher took part in only 63 games while Gedcon partici pated in 123 contests. Gedeon figured in 11 more frames than teddie Collins and managed to fin ish the campaign with a belter field ing mark. He also handled more chances per game than did the infield star of tho 'White Sox. generally rated as the best second Backer ln the game today. Tho fielding averages thow that Gideon handled 5 84 chances per game and Coliina handled &.3S per game. Derrell Pratt of tho New York Yanks. who camo to that club In exchange for Gedeon, ranked next to Collins in per centage of chances accented, but he led the Chicagoan In number of chances handled per game. Pratt, like Gedeon. took part in every content ilnyed by hi Hiirim. tlA 1 11 1 S KrAnn YtiM iveniKo for chances accepted per game, is i.ili. which is not far below the fig ure set by Gedeon. George CutNhaw. tho only National leaguer to play in every game last season, had an average of i.4 7 chances per game. Larry Doyle of the Giants was runner-up to Kisher with a mark of .6: for hts .3 games, ana .mikq iooian e I tho Koblns was third among tho regu lar tccond Backers, with a mark of .1GS. As is true of other positions, sec ond base was the scene of numerous changes during the season. Thouch all tho clubs played from 120 to 130 gumcs durlnic the. abbreviated cam paign, only two fercond basemen In the National league and three in the Amer ican league took part ln more than 101 games. Connie Mack used Davidson. Dugan. Dykca and Shannon at this po sition. MeGraw had at different times Doyle. Rodriguez and Sicking, and eve:i Bert Nichoif had a spell of second, basing beforo he was forced out of tho game by injuries. Veterans abounded amonir the second basemen In both leagues.
