TRAINING TO BE HEAVY Jack Cody to Have One Practice Game Weekly Until IHg Kvent. Excellent Material Available. Interest In water polo Is reviving In the northwest this season because of the award of the National Amateur Athletic union Junior water polo championships to .Spokane. For sev eral years Multnomah has held the I'acific -Northwest association water polo title, but this Is the ttrjft chance for the Winged M water dogs at the national title. The date for the national meet in Spokane has not been set, but Jack Cody, swimming instructor at the Multnomah club, is lining up a heavy training campaign to put his players in first-class condition for the event. The Winged M team has yet to meet defeat and it has defended its I'acific northwest title for the last six or seven years at the annual champion ships. .Soma excellent material is available for the club team. Cody will try to have at least one practice game very week until the national meet. Next "Wednesday night the first same will be played between two picked teams in the Winged M pool. This contest will start at 8:35. No admission will be charged club members. Some of the swimmers who will be n hand for this game are Bus Doug- Jas. Myron Wllsey. Ben Lombard. Ted Alonen, H. Humphreys, 1'aul KIwell, Bob Gardner, Van Helm, Ed Oisen J. A. Russell, Sam Smooth, J. E. Berg, Collie Wheeler, Gurtin Carroll and Kobert Boggs. Phil Patterson, who started at guard In all Multnomah's outside games, also may show up for prac tice. Patterson has the size and speed for a guard. Ono thing the clubmen lack is weight, which counts more man anything else in water polo, specially in the guard positions. The date of the city swimming and diving championships to be held in the Multnomah club tank has been changed to early in February. If this meet were held earlier in the season it would conflict with the basketball schedule at the club. The Winged M basketball team has games set for every Saturday night this month. The postponement of the city cham pionships will give the tankers more time to get Into condition. The other meets will follow closely the city championships, so the contestants ehould be In prime snape for all the fixtures without breaking training In between them. According to Cody It looks like a banner season for aquatics in the northwest. Many of the present etandards are expected to crack when tlie swimmers hit the water in the coming meets. HCflfl Tfl DPEfi SEASON VAUSITV TO PLAV WHITMAN THIS AVIiKK. Coni-h Bohlcr Expects to Liose Be cause 2 or Best Players Are in Ilauaii AVith 1 ootball Team. UNIVERSITY OF OUEGOV, Eu gene. Jan. 7. (Special.) With two games scheduled with the Whitman college quintet to be played here Monday and Tuesday nights and a trip to Scattlo for three games di rectly afterward, next week will open the varsity conference basketball achedule. The Oregon quintet is hardly In shape for the opening of the conference season this year, which has been put ahead one week, and the team does not expect to win many of these early season games. Coach Bohlcr is not optimistic over .prospects for a victory in any of these games. Jis team is handi capped by tho fact that two of last year's veterans are with tho football ixiuad in the Hawaiian islands and that there are only two letter men available for tho varsity. Hunk Latham, who played a good game at center for the varsity last year, and Bill Keinhart. who made his letter at guard, are the basketeers on the trip with the football squad. Frank Boiler, guard, and Marc Latham, a forward, are the two lettermen who will be in the games next week. Tho material working out for the varsity five has been developed for the most part in the doughnut bas ketball competition, which ended just before the holidays. Hoi Andre and Itoy Veatch are both showing well at forward, with Andre apparently having the edge. Hockhcy and Alstock, other prospective for- wards, have done well but both are light and Bonier wants to put a heavier team on the floor in view of the difficult schedule ahead. Itockhey may develop later into a second Eddie Durno. Ho is lightning fast and is unerring in his basket shooting, but he tips tiie scales at only 125. Franz Heller Is playing his usual brilliant game at guard. The other guard position will be filled by Couch. Burnett, nice. Goar or Edlunds. Bur nett and Couch seem to have the edge so far. They were both on the squad last year, but failed to make their letter. The schedule follows: January 8-10 Oregon versus Whitman, at UUKi'ne. January 12 Orcunti versua llth army Corp. Ht Camp I..--h.

The Interference E MEET THIS WEEK 1023 IIAKXESS SEASON TO BE MAPPED OUT. Grand and Lake Erie Cireuits to Assign Pates for Contests Tlirougiiout Country. CLEVELAND. O., Jan. 7. The har ness horee racing season for 1922 will be planned here next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, when stew ards and representatives of the Grand and Lake Erie circuits hold their an nual meetings and assign dates upon which other harness racing dates throughout the country are based. The Grand Circuit meeting will open Monday and continue Tuesday. The schedules and rules committee will meet Monday afternoon, with the annual dinner to be held at night Tuesday's programme as mapped out by Secretary Kinnan calls for an open nioetinfr in the morning, to which all horsemen are Invited, and an execu tive meeting of the stewards in the arternoon, at which action will be taken on rules and schedules. Tr.e Lake Erie officials, controlling the half-mile tracks, will meet on Wednesday. One of the principal questions fac ing the (Jrand Cricuit stewards is whether dates will be assigned to the Kenilworth track at Windsor, Ontario, across the river from Detroit. Samuel McBride. president of that track, has signified his Intention of applying for membership with a view to holding a meeting during the two weeks pre ceding the North Randall meeting. under the Canadian law It Is pos sible only to race three days a week. and In order for a six-day meet to be held at the Kenilworth track it is necessary to race in two different weeks. However, the management of the North Randall track here Is reticent about relinquishing the opening of tho Grand Circuit. They point to the fact that they took the opening dates sev eral years ago when no other track wanted them, and since then has built up its open meeting second to none in the circuit. If Lexington decides to substitute a six-day meeting for the two weeks' gathering It has held for many years, as has been reported, this must also come before the stewards. Such action by Lexington would leavo a week open between the Lexington and Atlanta meetings. The addition of Kenilworth would give tho Grand Circuit 12 tracks. Present members are North Randall, Toledo, Columbus, Kalamazoo, Lex ington, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Pough- RULES OF GOLF DECLARED TO BE VERY MUCH NEGLECTED Strange Part of It All Is That Game Is One of Simplest to Play, Adds Jock Hutchison. BY JOCK HUTCHISON. Only American to Win British Open Cham pionship. IN the lust few weeks I have writ ten a great deal on the fine points of the game. I haven't yet men tioned one of the most important things in connection with the royal and ancient pastime. So I take this opportunity to gfve a little advice on the rules of the game. For some reason the rules of golf are very much neglected. I doubt if there is anyone that knows them all or would trust his memory to make a quick decision when called upon. The strange part of it all is that golf is one of the simplest gumcs we play. It consists merely in driving a little ball with a club from a teeing ground to a hole in the least number MA.W PLAYERS DOXT OBSERVE SAND-TRAP RILES. cf strokes, yet the complications that arise over this feat are astonishing. In golf, as a usual thing, players are left on their own. Every player is supposed to keep an honest count, and there are really few who would willingly cheat in this respect A player is supposed also to observe all the ruleB and call a penalty on him self before his opponent has a chance of calling attention to it. No player can learn the game prop erly without studying the rules and learning enough about them to play in competition. There is nothing worse than to be compelled to play with a partner who is constantly in-' fringing on the rules, because it is everyone's duty and obligation t the other players competing to see that all the regulations are observed. When it is not done, the player permitting DURING WASHINGTON AND JEFFERSON-CALIFORNIA GAME IN iriwuagi , '7 . '(Pr ' v h halfback, ripping tronB the Bmri' J.

Girls Begin Practice. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene, Jan. 7. (Special.) Practice for girls' class basketball has begun and some keen competition probably will be seen at the opening of the schedule January 20. Last year the trophy cup went to the freshmen class. Miss Emily Perry, coach, has arranged for two teams in each class this year. E 16 JCXIORS OF HUNT CLUB PARTICIPATE IX EVENT. Audrey Davis Kides Ironsides to Second Place; Jack McDougall on Daisy Deanc Is Third. The first of a series of closed paper chases for junior members of the hunt club was won yesterday after noon by Miss Dorothy McBride. rid ing her horse Black Prince. Miss Mc Bride was the only girl who won a ribbon. She took the blue over Audrey Davis, who rode Ironsides to second place. Jack McDougall, on his father's prize hunter, Daisy Deane, was third. There were 16 Juniors In the field, several of whom rode In the open chase last Monday. In spite of plenty of mud and a good bit of brush riding the going was almost as fast as the New Year classic over the same course. Thsl is the first of a series of four junior chases. With a girl taking the blue ribbon In a bunch where half the riders were boys, a precedent has been set that will make the other three chases hard run -events. The juniors gave, the seniors a hard go last Monday. The course yesterday was the same used as an open chase last Monday, but the rules for the closed runs, holding the field together, kept those familiar with the blinds from any advantage. The course was laid by James Nicol and tho blinds were puzzling all the way through. The field ran Into more than half of them yesterday. Miss McBride, winner of the blue ribbon, is one of the most active members and one of the best riders of the Junior hunt. hi partner to break rules can himself be disqualified. The most common things that the beginner and the duffer fail to ob serve are moving the ball and soling the club in sand traps. Players with out the slightest intention of cheat ing anyone will place the club head so near the ball in addressing it that oftentimes it is turned over. This is partly due to nervousnesc, but the habit should be broken immediately. Players who do this should hold the club a little farther away. Many players have this fault on the putting green. The penalty for this is a stroke. It also is a stroke penalty if you take your stance and ground the club and tho ball moves without being touched. It is presumed that you have caused it to move. One ehould be particular about touching the sand with the club when in a bunker or any other recognized hazard. . One Is not permitted to touch his club to the sand either in address ing the ball or in the back swing If ono were permitted to do this It would be possible to scrape away enough sand to make a better lie for the ball. Golfers, however, most frequently in fringe on this rule when they find the ball in a road or a path Both are hazards. You can't sole ycur club in them. If we all followed the golden rule it would bo simple. Don't do anything that you wouldn't want your opponent to do. Don't take a practice swing close to the ball, as it is sometimes impossible to tell whether it is a practice swing or a plain whiff. Many a player does this one the tee very close, to the ball, yet if bis opponent ! defen.ie. Dan McMillnn In nbont to tackle SOCCER LEAGUE PUNNED FOUR-TEAM CIRCUIT NEXT YEAR TO BE ORGANIZED. Canadian A'ets and Macleay Scots and Dental College to Have Three of the Teams. Members of the Canadian Veterans and Macleay Scots soccer teams, who have been playing independent games here since their withdrawal from the Portland soccer association, already are planning a new four-team circuit for next season. One of the new teams will be the North Pacific Dental college. More than 200 Canadian students are en rolled at the dental school and nearly all of them are adepts at the game. With such a wealth of material to draw from it should be easy to round out -one of the fastest teams in the city. The fourth club would be made up of players from both the Cana dians and the Macleays. Each team now has a surplus of players and could easily afford to release a few men. In the meantime the Canadians and Macleays will play a seven-game series, starting this afternoon. All the contests will be played at 2:30 o'clock Sunday afternoons in the Franklin bowl. The series will be called the Canada-Scotland series. The Canadian Veterans' team is com posed entirely' of Canadians while the Macleay Scots are all Scotchmen and all learned the game in their native country. A trophy inscribed by both teams will go to the winner of the most games out of seven. The two clubs have been marking time until the holidays were over bo that the Canadians could get back in the lineup. Wilkinson and Butler, stars of their club, have been visit ing their homes in Canada, but will be in the fray this afternoon. Wilkinson and Butler, both of whom attend North Pacific Dental college, will whip a team into shape next season to play under the colors of that institution. Coach Wiltshire of the Oregon Aggie soccer team has agreed to play two games with the new combina tion, one in Portland and one In Corvallls. There Is a possibility that Coach Wiltshire will send his Aggie team against an all-star aggrega tion of Veterans and Scots later this season. The Aggies have a contest coming up January 14 against a picked team from the Portland soccer association and when that game Is out of the way may tackle the Vets-Scots picked outfit. Coach Wiltshire saw the last Canadian-Macleay game and ' was minded to call a stroke on him there could be no possible comeback. When in the rough one must not take a practice swing at the ball while within a club's length of it. Another flagrant Infringement on the rules of the game is in bending and breaking anything growing In order to get a better swing at the ball. Everyone knows the water hazard rule. When the ball goes into water it is not necessary to find it. Another ball may be dropped with a penalty stroke, making the player shooting three, which means two actual shots and a penalty stroke. The ball must be dropped on a line between the place where it enters and the pin. That is. one must drop directly behind the spot where he entered the water. However, many golf rules a-e con fusing, and there are occi'S'.ons when one's judgment should be used. It ,is the spirit of the rule that should al ways be observed. At many clubs there are local rules made to fit any one particular course. A player before starting his first round should Inquire what these are and then observe them carefully. One very absurd ruling was made at Hollywood in the women's cham pionship. Mrs. Gavin played a' ball from l sand trap. The ball failed to get out and landed in another part of the trap. 30 feet a-ay. She thought lessly or thoughtfully. depending on how you look at it, covered up her tracks with her club before going over to play again. The committee penal ized her two strokes for this. It was in medal play, when there had besn no attei. pt to break a rule and she had done only what all good golfers should do cover up their tracks In a trap to protect other unfortunates fol lowing who otherwise may be found to play out of heel hole. This thing has come up before and golfing bodies have decided that no penalty was in curred. Some golf players art too liberal. Johnnie Ball is one of these players. He wanted Abe Mitchell to take a shot over after the latter had hit a spec tator and bounded into a trap. This was in the final of the British cham p onship a few years ago. There was a merry mlxup 'at Brae Burn in 1919 when Hagen and Brady were playing off a tie for the open championship. Hagen thoughtlessly picked up a pasteboard match-holder on the fairway 20 feet or so from his ball. Outsiders saw it and immedi ately wanted to penalize him two strokes, although Brady never noticed it. It was discovered that a hole fur ther back Mike had picked up a little stone on the fairway, but it had passed m.crserved. As & result, no penalt.es were exacted. No golfer would want to win a championship on a fluke of this kind. What either one of them did had no bearing on the shot about to be played. (Copyright, 1922, by the Bell Syndi cate, Inc.)

He is said to be very anxious to have the Canadian Vets and Macleays represented on the all-star team he will play here January 14, but as neither team is now connected with the Portland soccer association that is not pos sible. Seven members of the two teams were on the Portland team that played the Assies in Corvallls recently. WOMEN OUT FOR ATHLETICS Five Thousand of Fair Sex In France Agile and Strong. PARIS, Jan. 7. Five thousand women of France, between the ages cf 15 and 30, are taking part in ath .etlcs, in which men have figured mainly in the past. One hundred yards in 11 4-5 seconds, 1000 meters ir. 3 minutes 17 4-5 seconds, stand as a Joint British and French feminine record. Miss Lines of England and Mademoiselle Bleard of France, cov ering the respective distances in such time as would make many masculine athletes envious. In 1909 the "forward" feminine sec lion of the French sporting federation was founded. Sixty-two members formed the original club. It now numbers 1500. Mademoiselle Therese Brule of the latter club went over the 110 meters (10) hurdles in 17 1-5 seconds.

Evidence Shows More Than Ono Hoop Game Lost Because of Colors of Uniforms. URBANA, III., Jan. 7. The mental aspects of athletic performance is what the psychologist is especially in terested in today, according to Dr. C. It. Griffith of the psychology depart ment of the University of Illinois. "Psychologists have evidence to ihow that more than one basketball game has been lost because the colors worn by a team were not adequately apprehended in indirect vision," says Dr. Griffith. "Batsmen hit or miss a ball because they do or do not know the conditions of space perception and the perception of movement. .Football teams win or lose games because their coaches do not know emotions and the conditions under which they arise. "Successful achievement in athletics demands the highest mental and physical qualities. Up to this time, however, the physical qualities have received far more attention than the mental. Now the psychologist is es pecially Interested in the mental as pects of athletic performance. For him, the problems of vision, audition, memory, association, habit, Instinct, emotion, thought and reaction are very important problems. "The most important problem Is that involved in the selection of men. A coach in any branch of athletics experiences nothing more dishearten ing than to spend three-fourths of his time upon men who could not finally 3e used. The psychologist can and does devise tests designed to measure the ability involved in all cases of athletic performance. "In football, for example, it is abso lutely necessary for the coach to know how long it takes his men to charge after the ball has been enapped. In this situation a few thousandths of a second may make the whole differ ence between a good and a bad lines man. "In basketball, players must be trained to observe objects and move ments in indirect vision. The meth- ds of training and of selection fall within the interest of the psycholo gist. Many athletic performances de pend upon complex habit organiza tions which are modified under the in fluence of emotions or fatigue. The psychologist seeks to take account of these factors." $700,000 IS STADIUM GUT Anonymous Donor Gives Money to Columbia University. NEW YORK. Jan.. 7. A gift of $700,000 from an anonymous donor to secure the' site for a monster athletic stadium has been announced by Co lumbia university through Dr. Nicho las Murray Butler. The money will bo used to close an option sevcured on the huge Dyckman tract, which is bounded by 210th street, Broadway and the Harlem ship canal. Plans already have been drawn for a football stadium, with a seating capacity of 56.000, costing $750,000; a separate baseball plant to accommo date 10,000, costing $125,000; an ath letic fieldi with three tracks, with a capacity of ' 9000; a new boathouse and rowing quarters, and a field boulevard, 200 feet wide, that will park 1500 automobiles. The funds will be raised by a com mittee of prominent alumni, which lias been at work since last June, when the idea was conceived. Bidding for Shoot Keen. DES MOINES, Iowa, Jan. 7.

Pacific university basketeers won their first game here last night by one point from the American Le gion cagers of Forest Grove. The game ended 22 to 21 with the ball under the collegians' basket. The game was considered good for the start of the season and excep tionally fast. The legion boys out classed the Badgers in the first halt', showing the advantage of playing to gether for some weeks. Arthur Ire land, a former varsity forward, was the star for the ex-soldiers with 15 points to his credit. Hoar at forward for the Badgers and Blackman at guard were the best collegians. Hoar made 12 points. The first intercollegiate game will be next Friday with I'acific college. Contrary to a report yesterday. Pa cific university will not play Idaho university.

But Moore's action in with holding the fighters' money and com pelling them to go on in another bout that should be satisfactory has in a measure resurrected the sport. Noth ing short of such action, unprecedent ed In ring annals, could have saved it. But et It be understood that box ing still is on probation. There can be no more clips, no more accidents. One more fiasco, no matter what the cause, and there will be no need for agitation to repeal the 10-round law. It will become a dead, letter by unani mous consent. The Milwaukie commission has ar ranged a match for the night of Jan uary 17 between Harry Wills and old Sam Langford. Old Sam Is the dean of all the heavyweights in the ring today. He no longer has champion ship aspirations or possibilities, but no ambitious young fellow, eyeing Jack Dempsey's crown, can feel safe until he gets by the stumbling block In his path that Sam presents. Sam can take tin and bam can hit. In Harry Wills ho will have no setup, but neither will Wills have a setup in Sam. In fact, Sam is the only man in the ring today who holds the rec ord of having knocked out Wills. He turned that trick twice some years ago when Wills was a young fellow breaking in. Later, Wills returned the compliment by knocking Sam out. Any time Sam battles It Is an In teresting fight for the old man al ways has a wallop In reserve, with steam enough behind the wallop to knock any opponent cold if It lands Just right. Bill Klepper is not the only Coast league magnate about ready to stand pat. Jim Boldt at Seattle and Wralt McCredie. his manager, feel the same. Particularly with the news yester day that Seattle has landed one of the big-time pitchers McCredie has been after. Jim Shaw is the pitcher and he comes to Seattlo through Clark Grif fith at Washington. Shaw has been with Washington several seasons and is a corking right hander. He slipped a little last season, but he is still a young fellow and no doubt will pitch his durndest here next season in the hope of going up again. With Shaw. Harry Gardner, Jacobs, Mack, Finneran. Fisher and perhaps Al Demaree, Seattle has the makings of a good staff. Its weakness so far is that it . has no left-hander. There is Hunky Schorr, to be sure, but Schorr's arm went back on him last season, which removes him from the list of dependables. McCredie says Schorr needn't worry about a Job. anyhow, because If her can't pitch any more he can hit so hard and Is so fast that he will make an outfielder of him. But Walt wants a good south paw, and wants him badly. With the worries of managing the Portland club lifted off his shoulders, big Walt has been taking on a lot of weight this winter. So much weight. In fact, that he made a New Year's resolution to keep his flivver parked in the family garage at Multnomah station anil walk to Portland every day. He has broken that resolution already. Last Sunday a certain motorist was driving out Terwilliger boulevard for a little spin when coming towards him on the pavement he espied a tall and familiar figure. "Can it he " mused the motorist. Yes, It could be. : It was McCredie, trudging wearily to ward town. The motorist continued on his spin, went several miles, turned around and sped back toward town. As he came back along Terwilliger there ahead of him. sure enough, was the Bame familiar figure, trudging along. It was McCredie. walking bravely but apparently In great weariness. "Hey!" said the motorist. "Want A ride? I'll take you to town." "H'm." said McCredie. "H'm. Well now, to be frank about it, I made a resolution to walk every day, but doggone it, it's a mighty long walk. Let me see, let me see yes by Jlminy, I'll take the ride." I AY. and J.

New Men Aro Needed if Aggies Are to Develop Title-Winning Team This Ycur, It Is Said. OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL LEGE, Corvallis, Jan. 7. (Special.) Backed by conference victories, a wealth of material and an efficient coaching and training staff, the Ore gon Aggie wrestlers are out after an other title. Coach Rathbun nas issued first call, which has been responded to by Cap tain Alonzo Patchin. 135-pound con ference champion; Edward H. Fish, 145-pound conference champion: Smid Buttervich, 145-pound northwestern champion and captain of the 1919 Oregon Aggie wrestlers; Robert Ful ton, 125-pounder who won from Logan of Washington Slate last season, and Robin Reed, United States 125-pound amateur champion. Reed will not be eligible this year on account of the freshman ruling, out no snouja prove valuable to de veloping some man for the 125-pound class. Fulton has gained considerable weight during the summer months and will not be able to Eret down to the 125-pound class again. This win leave Coach Rathbun -with no man in the 125, 158 or 175-pound cxass. There is littlo doubt but what the Oregon Aggies can carry the 135 and 145-pound classes in their meet with Oregon, Washington and Washington State. The other classes aro a dif ferent matter, and unless Rathbun can find or develop some new men there is littlo prospects of another championship team this year . The first meet is scheduled with Oregon at Lugene on February 4 followed by one with Washington at Corvallis, February 25. The last meet will be with Washington State at Pullman. March 4. It Is also possible that some arrangement can be made for a week with Multnomah club or some eastern college later in the season. With the Hoopers.

GEORGES HELD CLEVER IiritiMi Are Not Poins Very Much " Ilctling but Are Praying That Their Idol Will Win. BY SPARROW McGANN. (Copyrglht. 11122, by The Oregonian.) NEW YORK, Jan. 7. (Special.) Kvery sporting man in the country from the everglades to Sitka, from Santa Monica to Coney Island, will have his lamps trimmed for a flash across tho old Atlantic next week. wher3 In London on Thursday night Ceorges Carpentier Is going to fight his first battle since he and Jack Iiempsey pushed their fists at euch other in Jersey City last summer. George Cook of Australia, a newly risen heavyweight, will be his op ponent. In a message received from Lon don today, Harry Dime, the western sporting man, said that the Urltlsli are not betting their heads off on tho coming battle. They want two to ono and, even if those who fancy Carpentier were loosening up to that extent, there would not be a great deal doing since even two to one doesn't hit the Johnny Hulls as a very attractive proposition. Surprise 1 l'rolinlile. It will be a good thing for Cook If he can take it. Carpentier will mush along, slash ing out with wallops and getting a lot of wallops In re turn, especially when he is fighting in close and then when everything is Just right bam! that is the way he worked it with Dempsey. Tho trouble was that Dempsey was abla to take the kick. To win Cook has to survive that right of Carpentier's. He will get it sooner or later on the button. Over ir. Knglund they think Cai-pcntler is much more clever than Cook, but keen American critics hold that in this event Cook must be a dull In deed, because they do not regard the light heavyweight champion of the world as extremely scientific. I:ncll!sh Arr PraylnK. While the Knglish are not betting they are praying. They would rather see (ieorge Cook beat Carpcnt'er than to see DeValera slip on an icy pavement, with a coal chute Just In front of hitu. Such a victory would hold groat significance for tho fight ing public, since it would mean that probably within tho present year our world's champion, lieinpsoy. would enter the ring 'n another "battlo of tho century" against tho prida of England and affiliated colonies. Cook has fought 16 battles In thren years. The only opponents who would bo known to Americans aro Jimmy Clubby. Albert Lloyd and Fritz Holland. Ho weighs nearly 190 pounds, is 23 years old and Mands 5 feet lO'.i inches. He Is an expert swimmer, was a mall stage driver In New South' Wales and as a woods man is said to have few superiors with the ax. Now If he could only take that ax with him Into tho ring Thursday night oh. what? HLTLKH CLI-MIllNG TO l'AMIi Mulch With Itoulicii Is l lrht Bis One in Wres-tler's Career. Oscar Hutler, Portland middle weight who wrestles Hen Reuben, the Chicago bone-crusher next Thurs day night at Knights of Pythias hall, is stepping up tlio ladder of grap pling fame. This will bo his first big match, though he lias met and defeated all the wrestlers that have ventured to meet him hereabouts, and is now out for a crack at Walter .Miller, tho niiddlowi Iglit champion. If he defeats Reuben, ho no doubt will have a chance to meet the champion. Itciilieii was badly Injured in his bout Willi Tod Tliyo last Wednesday night but says ho will go throiiRh with Uie butler match. This will give Butler quite a chance to defeat tlio Chicago boy, whoso rigtit arm Is very weak from the numerous wrist locks that Thye clamped on him.
