LOS ANGELES GOLIATH, FROM LIFE BY EDGREN. j SHORTSTOP MTCANN SAYS HE WONT PLAY HERE THIS SEASON All That Does la to Knock Whole Beaver Infield, if Threat Is Carried Out by Player. BY L. H. GREGORY. LIFE is just one tough jolt after another for the poor baseball magnate. Bill Klepper was feeling good all over yesterday , at word from Jim Thorpe that he would accept terms, when along came news that Emmett McCan, the Portland club's hope and reliance at short stop, had decided . that he wouldn't play ball at all this season and would "voluntarily retire." " All that does IB to knock haywire the whole Beaver infield if McCann carries out his threat. . A club with out a good shortstop is of about as much account as an armless pitcher. The peculiar part of it is that no body has any notion what is ailing McCann. He had accepted terms and wired Friday for his transportation to training camp. What on earth could have made him change his mind overnight is a puzzle indeed. Ordinarily this "voluntary retire ment" talk means that a player is angling for more money, but as Mc Cann already had accepted terms, that doesn't seem reasonable. Faced with the prospect of losing his shortstop, Klepper didn't waste time worrying over a bad outlook. His first move was to hop on the telegraph wires with a red hot mes sage to Tom Turner at Soboba Springs instructing him to find out what is the matter with McCann, and if he really has decided to quit base ball then to open negotiations imme ately for the purchase of ,the.best shortstop available. , Even with McCann out, it is some relief to know that big Jim Thorpe has agreed to sign. Jim held out for big money and he got it. He will be about the highest-priced ballplayer that ever played in this league, and that includes old Sam Crawford, who for the last two or three years - has enjoyed that distinction with Los An geles. " Thorpe . in his message accepting terms said that he might be a few days late at- training camp, because he intends to remove bag and bag gage to the Pacific coast, and will re Quire a few Ndays to "sell out." Whether he referred to his profes sional football interests by that term, Klepper can only guess. Thorpe is the principal owner of the Canton Bulldogs, one of the big professional football teams in the east. . With Thorpe and Rip King both in the lineup, the Beavers will have the makings of a pretty fair professional football eleven right in theii own ranks. It isn't impossible that a pro fessional football league will be or ganized along the coast next fall. If .t is, Thorpe and King will make a mighty fine nucleus for the Portland team. . Manager Turner sent word yester day from Soboba Springs, where he is supervising the Portland battery men in preliminary training work, that all hands at the springs are in fine con dition. The layout includes Rip Kin Rowdy Elliott, Suds Sutherland, Sam Ross, Sutherland s protege Banks, Ken Scott and Roy Crumpler. The will all move over to Pasadena by March 1 or 2.' . Turner also told Klepper not to worry about Joe Sargent and Frank Bruggy, and guaranteed that they will be at training camp before the end of the first week. Herman Pillette dropped in at base ball headquarters yesterday just in time to receive a telegram from Owner N'avin of Detroit accepting his terms. Herm has not been enthusiastic at any time over the salary offered him by Detroit, particularly in view of the $75,000 deal in which he and Syl Johnson were sold. He asked for part of the' purchase price at' first, but when Klepper showed him the hard and fast organized baseball rule fur bidding payment to the player of any part of his draft or sale price, he decided to concentrate on demanding more salary. It began to look as if Detroit might let Herm hibernate out here for the rest of the winter, but yesterday Owner Navin evidently thought bet BEHEMOTH OF RING WHO LOOMS ter of it and notified Herm that his terms would be met. That put a new light on things. Herm had about de cided that it was the independent leagues for him, for be was deter mined not to go east unless he got his price, but now he is anxious to be off to training camp. His only fear is that he may not get sufficient chance to demonstrate his real abil ity, for he' is notoriously a slow starter In the spring. The San Francisco club will have second basemen to give away this season, but the closest scrutiny ol its availables doesn't disclose one man who can play short. The Seals- have Kilduff. Ellison, Dee Walsh and Lefevre, all second basemen, and old Jack Miller, their new manager, can cover the bag in emergency, though his regular post for some years has been the less dangerous first. But where in that list is the player to replace Caveney? What happened to Portland in the last few seasons is proof enough of how vital it is to a club to have a good shortstop. The Seals will not get very far in the pennant race until they have a high-class man to fill Caveney's shoes. It wouldn't be surprising if the Seals try to buy Billy Orr from Sacramento, now that Harry Lunte is coming from Cleve land to play short. There are worse shortstops in baseball than Billy Orr.

JOC GIANT NEW FIGHTER SCORES KNOCKOUTS IN FOUR BOUTS Ralph Smith, Loa Angeles Amateur Heavyweight, Declared Likely Candidate for Championship. " . . BY ROBERT EDGREN. HE bigger they are the harder they hit all other things being equal. On that theory Ralph Smith of the- Los Angeles Athletic club, an amateur heavyweight, is likely to become the hardest-hitting fighter in the world, and quite possi bly Jack Dempsey's most dangerous rival within two years. Smith is an inch taller than Jess Willard, standing six feet sven in his bare feet. As he is just 21 and still growing rapidly, he will be a much bigger man than Willard when he reaches his greatest development. His weight at present, all bone and lean, wiry muscle, is 220 pounds. He will weigh 30 pounds more without becom ing fat. Smith is fortunate in being "started right." Like Willard, Dempsey, Jef fries and other big men who have made good, he was born on a farm His home place was in Minnesota, 100 miles south of Minneapolis. He heard a lot about Mike and Tom Gib bons when he was a boy, and boxed with the other youngsters in school, but outgrew them so far that he soon had no sparring partners. Style Declared Good. Going to California, Smith became a carpenter at a moving picture stu dio, where, because of his great strength, he became expert in putting tip the heavy timbers when sets wece built. He was working as a carpenter when George ' Blake, formerly army boxing instructor at Camp Freemont, saw him one day and proposed mak ing him a boxer. Smith jumped at the chance. That was four months ago, and every day since Smith has worked two hours under Blake's supervision. In this way he has started with all the best boxing methods and has no faulty style to forget. At first Smith was naturally clumsy, like nearly all very big men, but be ing perfectly proportioned and a nat ural athlete, he has improved rapidly in skill and speed. He had tremendous hitting power from the start. New Opponent Hunted. Just now Smith can't find an oppo nent on the Pacific coast, having fought himself out of rivals in four short ring battles at the Los Angeles Athletic club, whose colors he will wear in April, when he goes to Boston to box in the Amateur "Athletic union national championships. Smith's latest victim was Sailor Botts, a big fellow from the fleet at San Pedro. Botts rushed Smith hard for a round. In the second Smith knocked Botts cold with a single short right-hand punch on the side of the head. The sailor was "cuckoo" for 15 minutes after he came to and squared off at the referee, his sec onds, a ship's ofifcer who tried to quiet him and the crowd around the ring. At last they got Botts to the dress ing room by telling him he had won the fight. He never knew what hit him. A few days afterward Charlie Keppen, who runs the boxing matches, called up a fleet officer, who selects fight ing men for bouts ashore, and asked for another big sailor to fight Smith. "Say," shouted the officer over the telephone, "what do you want to do put the navy out of commission? If you want action for that big bird of yours why don't you chuck him into a cage with a couple of gorillas?" Reach la LonB. Smith has the longest reach known in the ring since Charles Freeman, the 6-foot 8-inch giant from New York,, went to England nearly 100 years ago and became the first inter national champion. Smith's reach is 85 inches, two inches more than Jess Willard' s. His wrists v measure 8 inches. Imagine a reach of 85 inches, and wrists 84 inches around to put be hind the blow! The reach is 10 inches more than that of Jeffries. Fitzstm- mons and Ruhlin, 9 inches more than Dempsey's, 5 inches more than Ful ton's. The Wrists are as big as Jeff's, v His other measurements show that he's built for the ring. His neck is 16, chest, normal. 41, biceps 14, calf 16, waist 34. His hands are so big his boxing gloves have to be made to order, and he wears number 13 shoes, so Blake had to have shoes made for him too, no shoes of that size being kept in stock in any sport ing goods stores. In general build, Smith is a huge Bob Fitizsimmons, lean, wiry, narrow hipped, straight legged and wide, square shoulders. He ' has the face of a fighter, bold and aggressive. His hair is black and wiry. His head is fairly large In proportion to his height, his jaw wide and his chin well rounded. His whoU build is io well propor 5AMTM HAS rV flREATr Pair Of HfV5 AMD wuae. yjtusTS Bti ENQW6H Fob. Hif. height t tioned that his height is not notice able until one stands beside him. He is built like an athlete from the ground up, with no awkward angles, no abnormal development anywhere, no fat and no apparent weak snot. Moreover he shows signs of havingr a real fighting heart which is the thing that makes a fighter, above all else. Each month, since he began box ing, Blake has sent Smith into the club tournaments for one bout against the biggest men he could find. Four Knockout Scored. The first month he knocked out Hazeltine, a big heavyweight, in three rounds. Next month he knocked out Hazeltine in the first round. A month later' he knocked out Sailor de Heck, from the Pacific fleet, in one round. Then he knocked out Sailor Botts in two. No other local amateur will meet him, and unless .some stranger is imported and deprived of a sight of Smith until he gets into the ring, it's likely he'll have no more bouts before the championships at Boston. When in the ring, Smith puts his hands up and wades in, hitting short, straight blows. He never swings. He has a wicked punch with either hand. His defense is undeveloped as yet, but Blake is working on that. He can take a hard punch without feeling it, and his natural instinct is to attack and trade blow for blow until something drops. Which is a fairly good defense in itself. Experience Chief Need. Jack Dempsey saw &mith one day in training, but declined o sit at the ringside when Smith was fighting Botts, on the ground that he may be fighting Smith some day and he didn't want any advantage. That day will hardly come in less than two years. ' Blake intends to take Smith along slowly and give hm a chance to fight his way to the top. Too many good men have been spoiled by being rushed in against the champions before they were suf ficiently experienced. But when the big fellow starts he's likely to make an awful crash among the "contenders." If Jess Willard and talph Smith were starting at the same time. Smith would be the more likely "prospect' for a champion. He has much of Dempsey's aggressiveness end no trace of the lazy good-nature that kept Willard from being an active champion after his one great fight against Jack Johnson at Havana.

ODIHET US GOLF TITLE m BOSTON MAN TAKES HOUSTON CLUB HONORS. Close Driving Is Remarkable Fea- ture of4 Play Tee Shots Go About Equal Distance. HOUSTON, Texas, Feb. 25. Francis Ouimet of Boston, former national amateur golf champion, won the championship of the eighth annual mid-winter tournament of the Hous ton Country club today when he de feated Louis Jacoby of Dallas, runner-up, for the state champion ship, 7 up and 6 to play, in a more or less one-sided but at the same time exceedingly interesting match. Of the 30 holes played, Ouimet won 14 and Jacoby 7, and the remainder were halves. The remarkable feature I of the play was the close driving of the men. In practically every In stance the tee shots went about an equal distance. Of the two Ouimet got the better distance, but was in trouble oftener, especially in the afternoon. Ouimet won the first hole, getting a par four. Jacoby won the second, getting a two. Ouimet won the third hole with a five. He won the fourth with five and the fifth hole was halved. Ouimet beat par on the sixth, getting a two and winning the hole, The seventh was halved in six and Jacoby won the eighth with a five. Ouimet won the ninth with a par three. The 10th and 11th were halved, while Ouimet won the 12th getting a three, one better than par, and making the match four up. On the next two holes Ouimet also beat par by one, getting threes on the 13th and 14th, making the match six up. Ouimet also won the 15th with a four. On the 16th he shot a three and won the hole, while Jacoby won the 17th with a four. The 18th hole was halved. In the afternoon round Ouimet started off rather badly, getting a hook to, his drive off the tee. His second shot carried him to the edge of the green and he won the hoi in a four. The second hole of the .afternoon rc-und, or the 20th hole of the match, was halved in three. Jacoby won the 21st hole in five and also the 22nd hole with a five. Oui met won the 23rd hole with five and the 24th hole with a three. Jacoby won the 25th hole with a four and the 26th with a five, making th match six up. The 27th and 2Sth holes were halved in four and three, respectively. Ouimet won the 29th in a four hile the 30th. the last hole of the match, was halved in four. LEAGUE HERE - IS REVIVED INDUSTRIAL ATHLETIC ORGAN IZATION OUT OF COMA. This Time Firms Step to Front and Try to Get Unit Under W7ay Themselves. After having apparently lapsed into a state of coma, the proposed indus trial athletic league has been revived. This time firms who were being con sidered for membership in the league have stepped to the front and are try ing to get the organization under way for themselves. Initial work in this matter has been taken up by O. H. Litsey, manager of the Doernbecker baseball team. The Doernbecker company expects to put a strong amateur baseball club into the field and Litsey is seeking to get other manufacturing or wholesale firms pepped up enough to organize an industrial baseball league as a starter. The Blake-McFall and Kerr Gifford companies are taking it into consideration and may put teams In the proposed league. A meeting of persons interested in the industrial baseball league will be held Monday or Tuesday night. There seems to be much interest in such a league. FROSH BASKETEERS WIN ALL University of Oregon Team Ends Season With Eight Straight. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene, Feb. 25. (Special.)

CHANGE IS DEMANDED Intention Not to Be Applicant Again Declared Result of Indi rect Request by Dean Bovard. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene. Feb. 25. (Special.) George M. Boh- ler, head coach of baseball and basket ball, will not be an applicant for that position another year unless it ia taken out of the hands of the physical education department, which at pres ent pays the salary and has charge of the position, according to a statement made by Coach Bohler today. In making the statement h de clared the reasons for his action wera that he does not agree with the poli cies of Dean Bovard. head ol the school of physical education, and that his decision was made after an in direct request from Dean Bovard for such action. Due to the fact that the school of physical education pays th salary of Coach Bohler, his position is some what different from that of other coaches. In the case of both Hay- ward and Huntington, the other two coaches of the main sports here, a major portion of the salary of each is paid by the associated students. Other Work Also Is Done. When Coach Bohler was employed last year, however, it was entirely by the school of physical education of the university. He was to attend to work in that department as well as taking care of coaching basketball. He was afterward elected varsity baseball coach' and this year practi cally all of his time has been em ployed in the performance of his du ties as coach in these two major sports. Considerable friction has heen, ap parent throughout the year between the physical education department and the athletic department. At the time that Coach Shy Huntington was re-electedi football coach for another year, tha executive council, which is made up of students, alumni and fac ulty members, and is empowered by the student constitution to "select all coaches and- trainers, subject to the approval of the president of the uni versity," took cognizance of the fric tion in the departments and' adopted . a resolution to bring about closer co operation. Resolution Causes Comment. This, resolution has been the cause of considerable comment and agita tion. The clause in question read as follows: - "The members of the executiva council desire to take cognizance of the prevailing rumors of certain in harmonies and lack of co-operation in the school of physical education, and will instruct those persons whom it elects to positions in coaching that they are members of the staff of the department of athletics in the school of physical education, and that ther shall give their best co-operat'on to the general programme of the school of physical education. The council regards the department of athletics as an essential part of the educa tional programme of the school, and will impress those members of the department of athletics over whom it has any jurisdiction that they must either work smoothly and effectively with the rest of the school or lav before the council the reasons why they cannot do so." Speedy Organization Urged. The last paragraph of the resolu tion was worded as follows: "The council will do its utmost tu promote speedy organization of th department of athletics of the school of physical education to the end that lines of authority may be clearly out lined. Lines of authority must bo "clearly outlined, so that overlapping of work and friction, either now oi in the future, and either withlntbe department of athletics or in the de partment's relations with the rest o( the school, will be minimized."
