Willie Meehan passed through Port
land yesterday on his way to San
Francisco, where he will remain until
Tuesday, and then return here to
train for his ten-round battle at
the Milwaukie arena, November 24,
against Boy McCormick, light-heavyweight
champion of England. Meehan
beat Bob Roper in Akron, O., last
Wednesday night, and expects to do
the same to McCormick. However, he
has a job cut out for him in beating
the fighting Irishman. r
The more one reads 'of English or
Australian champions being bumped
off, the more Boy McCormick is ap
preciated. The Boy is the only Brit
isher who has Invaded these shores
in years that has made good. Few
Americans have reached the popular
ity that McCormick enjoys among the
fight fans, and his following has all
been gained in a comparatively short
space of time.
Lew Edwards, the highly touted
Australian lightweight champion,
passed by the boards Friday night in
Minneapolis, Minn., when he was
knocked out in the second round of a
scheduled ten-round bout by Clonie
Tait, claimant of the Canadian title.
Tait has not been invincible, but was
good enough to floor Edwards seven
times in the first round and knock
him for a goal in the second canto.
When Edwards came to the United
States last year he was heralded as
better than Freddie Welsh, former
lightweight champion. He bit off
more than he could chew in his first
Btart. which was in Milwaukee, Wis.,
against Ritchie Mitchell. Mitchell
knocked him out in four rounds. Now
Tait comes along and turns the trick
in two, and Tait is far from being
world's champion, although he Is a
good boy. -
Freddie Jacks, Tommy Noble, Joey
Fox, Johnny Sheppard and Tom Cow
ler are all Englishmen, all but the
latter claiming some sort it title, and
all failed to make good. They win
now and then, but do not figure
against the best boys at their weight
here. And first and foremost, they
are not popular with the fans.
McCormick has made good in every
respect. Boy was slated to fight at
Madison Square garden, November 27,
but had to call the light off because
of the postponement of his fight here
from November 17 to November 24.
Calling the match off cost his man
ager. Billy Gibson, $250, the amount
of forfeit put up to guarantee that
McCormick would fight on the date
mentioped for Tex P.ickard.
Speaking: of English boxers making
good, there is another who at one
time was a good drawing card and
won a world's title. He is Ted "Kid"
Lewis, who hails from the British
Isles. Lewis put up some mighty
good fights, holding his own with
such men as Mike O'Dowd. and won
the welterweight title from Jack
Britton. He later lost the crown back
to Jack, and since that time has been
slipping fast. Boy McCormick saw
Ted box in New Jersey recently and
says that Lewis is but a shadow of
his former self.
-If Benny Leonard. lightweight
champion of the world, ever meets
TTJack Britton, welterweight champion
., of the world, over the 15-round route
.', In New York city, McCormick. for
!t one. is not only going to bet that
"Benny beats Britton, but that Leonard
Ttnocks him out. Leonard imparted
"to Boy the fact that he would stop
:'b'the clever welterweight titleholder if
they ever met in New York, and Boy
17 thinks that Leonard is good enough
to turn the trick.
The outcome of the Joe Benjamln
Ritchie Mitchell fight in Milwaukee,
""Wis., Friday nierht, naturally was
- very unsatisiactory to Joe s many
3 -'menus. According to a more detailed
""report on the fight, Joe had all the
'-best of the milling up to the ninth
''"round, when the hard-hitting Mitchell
caught him flush on the chin with a
crashing right-hand wallop and then
finished him.
" Mitchell is liable to stop anyone if
-'. he can hit them square. Many of the
fans were of the opinion that Billy
'-f Gibson was rushing Joe along a little
pitoo fast when he sent him in against
Mitchell, but when one stops to look
over the list of boys that Benjamin
8 has beaten since he went east, the
15 conclusion is drawn that he was about

'Painting Town Red" No Longer
Popular Pastime of Backers
of Winning , Team.
- BY WTLLIA1I C5MACK.
Twenty and more years ago when
a college football team defeated its
most important rival, said victor,
through its student body, immediate
ly started in to "paint the town red,"
and in those days the antics were
considered characteristic of college
boys. Such jamborees were in real-'
Ity unlawful, property was destroyed,
people injured and merchants and
business places were always in more
or less danger of having their win
dows broken or other damage in
flicted. By degrees this "rough-neck"
stuff has been eliminated and the col
lege students of today do not vent
their enthusiasm in euch pursuits.
The writer more than once has
been in the midst of such college cele
brations not as a college participant,
but as an unwilling part of the public
caught in the maelstrom. Back in
Boston in 1901 Harvard defeated Y.-'e
and it was the first Harvard victory
in several years. Harvard students
laid siege to Boston that night and
caused wide destruction. They upset
cabs in the street there were few
automobiles in those days took the
trolley cars off the tracks and in
general acted the part of .anything
but citizens pledged to law and order.
It was all excused on the ground
that "oh, they t are only college
boys." However,' their antics did not
repay the street-car company or the
cab proprietors for the damage.
We thought such "rough neck" stuff
was obliterated for all time from the
up-to-date colleges and even supposed
that such stuff was not included In
fhe curriculum of celebrations of
even "small town colleges" We are
therefore naturally surprised to find
wa are mistaken and that a fresh
man team from one of the big south
ern California colleges should invade
the precincts of a college acting as
their hosts, cause destruction and act
in euch a manner as to disturb and
disgust the citizens of the peace.

Boys will be boys, but in the final
analysis the boys themselves are not
so much to blame as those in charge.
Nevertheless no college countenances
such antics and this Is probably the
first such rough house in many years.
Quite naturally each college insists
on cordial relations between its own
and other colleges. When one col

team that college expects the visitors
to act. courteously.

.Finding Five-Pound Notes
In Their Bags.
LONDON. Nov. 13. The abandon
ment by Gordon Lockhart, the well
known British golfer, of his amateur
status has caused a great deal ' of
talk in sporting circles here and
widespread commendation for sports
men like Lockhart, who admit they
are in the business for what they
can get out of it. '
England has the same trouble with
the question of amateur status as
America. It nas Its amateur body to
compare with America's Amateur
Athletic union and with about as
many faults. Every now and then
it singles out a man and attempts to
make a glaring example of him.
One sporting writer here insists
that an amateur is a man who plays
a game for his own enjoyment rather
than for the entertainment of others.
He says it is an encouraging sign
that the ruling bodies in most forms
of sport in Britain are beginning to
look at things from that point of
view. Abuse is heaped on the so
called shamateur the amateur who
steps across, the thin ice of techni
cality by accepting huge expense ac
counts and soft jobs so he can live
comfortably and still be an amateur.
The Globe attacks the crude meth
ods by which "amateur" cricket play
ers found 5 notes in their bags afte
a match and asked no questions. It
says: "There have been amateurs
more exacting than professionals in
the arrangement of terms." It asked
how the tennis players manage to
travel great distances, from country
to country and staying at the best
hotels, and insists that it is the busi
ness of someone in authority to find
out. "Is it anything like true ama
teurism or syndicates to be got up to
finance a prominent player through
a campaign?" it asks. It adds:
"The thing Is more scandalous be
cause there is no disgrace nowadays
rather the contrary in the status
of professional. His conscience is
dear; sport is his trade; he makes
what he can out of it and he stands
deservedly high in public estimation.
The shamateur is the third clacs
the hermaphrodite of sport suspect
ed by amateurs, despised by profes
sionals. Perhaps we cannot stamp
out the shamateur, but it la the urg
ent duty of all sports to make the
attempt." '
CHICAGO, Nov. .13. Steps to place
every professional baseball league in
the country under the direction of
Federal Judge Landla, who yesterday
was appointed a one-man commis
sion to act as sole arbiter in major
league disputes, were taken today.
President John Heydler of the
National league, and other club
owners conferred with a group of
the highest officials in minor leagues
over the proposed reorganization of
control of professional baseball, and
after listening to the major leaguers
explanation of the plans, the minors
informed Judge Landis that they
approved of his election and favored
coming under his power.
In the delegation which called on
the judge were Mike Sexton of Rock
Island, president of the National
Association of Minor Leagues: John
Farrell, its secretary; G. T. Maines,
president of the Michigan-Ontario
league; E. W. Dickerson, president of
the Central league; W. W. ' Walsh,
president of . the South Atlantic
league, and Walter Morris, president
of the West Texas league.
Acceptance Seems Assured.
The support of these men for the
reorganization plan virtually assures
its acceptance by the minor leagues.
It is believed by baseball men here.
Possibility that Judge Landis'
powers might be given an interna
tional scope was seen by President
Maines of the Michigan-Ontario
league.
"We want to see you in charge
of the leagues in Canada, as well as
in the United States," he told the
judge. "Tour appointment is the
greatest thing in the world for base
ball and the good I know will result
from it must not be confined to this
country."
Judge Landis spent several hours
today conferring with the minor
leaguers and reading congratulatory
messages. He was particularly de
lighted with several from enthusiasts
saying he "wanted the approval of
the men In the bleachers more than
that of the magnates."
"It's their game," he explained,
and we've got to run It the way
they want it run."
Majors Appoint Committee.
The National league today ap
pointed Garry Herrmann of Cincin
nati, Barney Dreyfuss of Pittsburg
and Charles Ebbets of Brooklyn. Its
committee to officially arrange with
the minor leagues for them to come
under Judge Landis' control. Clarke
Griffith of Washington, Frank Navin
of Detroit and Connie Mack of Phila
delphia, were appointed to represent
the American league. They will
meet a minor league committee of

Performers in Their Classes.
The vear 1920 unauestionably will
go down in history as one of the
greatest in champlonsnip acoieye
ments this country has ever gone
through. It makes no difference what
line of sport you look at. Never be
fore have four champions stood out
so prominently as Jack Dempsey in
pugilism, Man o' War on the track.
Babe Ruth in baseball and Bill Tilden
in tennis. They are all of the super
type. !
There have been other years In
which champions have been -considered
"supermen," but not before has
there been such occasion to use the
word "super" with accuracy. Man
o' War stands pre-eminently and
without argument as the greatest
horse of all time In this country.
No horse has so attracted public at
tention as this great animal.
Not only in track, the ring, the
baseball diamond and the tennis
courts, does this country stand out,
but in nearly every other sport. True
we won the Olympic games, but our
victories there were not as outstand
ing as in past Olympic events, though
in the sprints the United States clear
ly showed its superiority. In this
Charlie Paddock of Los Angeles, eas
ily comes in the "super" class with
Dempsey, Ruth and Tilden. The
swimming was a big triumph for the
United States. It was the first time
in the Olympics that America has
done so well.
The success of the navy rowing men
is another factor of importance. The
Annapolis crew showed its unques
tioned right to the United States
championship and then went to Ant
werp and defeated all nations in the
recognised blue ribbon of rowing the
eights.
In tennis America has gone abroad
and defeated both France and Eng
lapd after the latter had eliminated
other nations. Besides that, William
Tilden has proved himself the un
questioned champion of the world,
winning the title at Wimbledon. Now
the American Davis cup team com
posed of Tilden, Bill Johnston, Wat
son Washburn and Sam Hardy is on
its way to Australia in an endeavor
to lift the Davis cup and bring it
back to this country. The cup has
been in Australia since 1914. Should
the Americans win in the Antipodes,
the world's championships in practi
cally all sports will be in this country.
America does not recognise the so
called "world title" at London as such.
Rather the victory in the Davis cup
series is considered here more of a
world title than the London affair.

Ail-Around Athletes Declared to Be
Common in Colleges of Both
East and West.
Many track and field men who
made good on their college teams last
spring are now starring on their col
lege football elevens. Included are
many men who made name and fame
for themselves as members of the
American Olympic team that went to
Antwerp. -
This . situation exists all over the
country and the various college teams
of the Pacific coast states are not
being outdone by eastern teams. As
a general rule a track man does not
go in for football, such participation
being the exception ' rather than the
rule, but this year the participation
by track men in football seems quite
general an over tne country.
The University of California has
several track men playing football,
two notable Instances being Brick
Muller. the high jumper of Antwerp
fame, now placing right end and
"Pesky" Sprott, who placed In the
Olympic 800 meters and la showing
in great shape at right half back. At
Moscow, Idaho, the state university
boasts of a dual athletic personality
in Perrine. the all-round track star,
who is equally at home on the foot
ball field. Nell and Evans are two
other Idaho track stars on the foot
ball squad.
Sanford university has discovered
a phenomenal kicker and full back in
"Dink" Templeton. He is the same
Templeton who won points for the
United States army in the broad Jump

Stanford team, is a 12-foot pole

University of Southern California is
using track men, one of the notables
being Evans, a discus thrower.
Back eaet there are many names,
famous on track, now making fame
on the grid. S. Harrison Thompson,
winner of the national all-round track
title, is making a great reputation
on the Princeton team as a back
field men. Aosta and Cruickshank,
the giant hammer throwers at Yale,
are making good as guards. Calder,
the shot putter of Pennsylvania has
found that football is natural for
him, and is proving one of the best

all-round athlete, is playing right
half.
ANNUAL CLASSIC NEXT SATURDAY.
STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Palo
Alto, Cal., Nov. 13 (Special.) Stan
ford's football men are now back to
the task of preparing for the Califor
nia game next Saturday, the last and
most important struggle of the sea
son. Tuesday the team went through
a light signal practise on account of
the long trip to Seattle, Wash., and
the game with the University of
Washington, but when their stiffness
was abated, they started to work in
earnest, with a victory over the
Bruins on November 20 as their goal.
It is the concensus of opinion that
the winner of the Stanford-California
game will be the one to play a team
sent out from the east on New Year's
day at Pasadena. So far the Uni
versity of California has defeated the
Oregon Agricultural college and
Washington State elevens. while
Stanford has won from Oregon and
Washington. This makes the annual
classic between the two California
rivals one of the most important
clashes in coast gridiron history. x
About a thousand rooters at the
depot in Palo Alto welcomed the
Stanford team home from its victor
ious invasion of the north. A rous

be forgotten greeted the grid war
riors as the train pulled in and the

Leader Kinney was on hand to lead
the rooters and the town of Palo Alto
fairly resounded to the Joyous greet

The first and second rounds of the
fall tennis tournament were com

tennis talent in th school. Two new
tennis courts are being erected at a
cost of J3000.
The additional courts will be used
