The Stenographers at present are in the cellar with little chance of getting out. With the exception of Commerce, all other teams seem fairly evenly matched. Even Washington, although It occupies the berth next to the cellar, has a strong team and gave Lincoln Its hardest battle, losing by only tour points. James John and Washington will clash Thursday. This game will wind up the schedule for the week. Only two more weeks of basketball are en the docket. The crowds have been so large this season that the Washington high gym Is pot big enough to accom modate them. When Jefferson played Frankiin last week the crowd on the floor anp in the baloony was naif dozen deep. 80,523 MILES AKEJ ON ROTJTE Pittsburg to Hake Most and New York Fewest Trips. NEW YORK, Feb. 6-Th eight clubs In the National league will travel 89,523 miles to complete the schedule formally adopted. The Pittsburg Pirates must cover,, more ground than any other club-" 13,751 miles, to be exact, while the New York Giants are lucky enough to have the minimum, as they will travel only 9622 miles. In quest of another pennant. The season will open on April 12 with Brooklyn at New York, Boston at Philadelphia, Chicago at Cincln nati and Pittsburg at St. Louis. It Is fitting that the world's chan plons should open at home at the Polo grounds. As a matter of fact the Giants will open at dome and close at home, which will be in their favor if they are In the thick of the pen nant fight next September. The New York team also Is well served in holiday dates, as it will have 13 Saturdays, 13 Sundays and July 4 at the Polo grounds with Brooklyn. The Giants also will have two games on Memorial day in Philadel phia and two games with the Boston Braves on Labor day. The Robins, after opening the sea eon against the Giants in New York, will have their own opening in Brook lyn on. April 16 against Philadelphia. They will have 13 Saturdays 18 Sun days and Memorial day at Ebbets field, a strong assingment. 3TXD McCOY GETS REVENGE Sparring Partner, Once Punished, I Plays Trick and Wins. Kid McCoy, former sparring part ner of Tommy Ryan, challenged the latter to fight for the middleweight title in 1896. Down in his heart McCoy entertained a hatred for Ryan because the latter had punished him wickedly when McCoy was in the champion's camp. But he concealed that feeling from Ryan and allowed the latter to believe he need not train hard for the bout. They met in the ring at Maspeth, I I.. March 2, 1896. Ryan, in poor condition, had the first round, but McCoy was the aggressor from then on. The end came in the 15th round, the details of which are: McCoy Jabbed his left to the wind three times and swung a right to the head and it practically was all over. McCoy landed a left on the jaw and Ryan went down at the ropes. He got up as the referee, Tim Hurst, counted ten, but it was his last effort, as McCoy sent right and left to the Jaw, putting Ryan down and out. He tried to get up, but was done for. Ryan was carried back to his corner in a badly battered con dition and had to be helped to his dressing room. The round lasted one minute and 54 seconds. "" 'V?' ' u f fl vAi PS IN? Co-operation of Many Seconds and Manager in Reforming Practice Declared to Be Certain. The Portland boxing commission has pledged Itself to take some action toward curbing Beconds who handle boxers in shows held under its aus pices. The commission will meet tomorrow noon, at which time the matter of the seconds will be brought up. A date will be set also for the next show at the armory. There has not been a show either in Portland or at Milwaukie recently at which some second by his yelling and shouting at his boxer, besides insulting remarks to the boxer's opponent, has not made himself obnoxious to the spectators. Mem bers of the commission have come out flatfooted and .say that this must stop. They promise drastic action toward curbing the seconds, prob ably modeled after the New York rules. That the commission will receive ' the co-operation of many of the seconds and managers of boxers here is certain. Stanley McDonald, who has been handling- and instruct ing boxers in Portland perhaps as long as any of the managers, said yesterday that he favors a stiff code for the seconds to follow. McDonald would like to have at least four official towel swingers appointed by the commission to do that work for all the boxers. Any rules,, the Portland commis sion lays down regarding seconds will be followed cheerfully by me. and I feel sure that most of the other chief seconds feel the same way about it," said McDonald. "There are only a few seconds who do not know how to govern themselves when they go behind a fighter and they should be made to behave or be barred altogether." The next show by the Portland boxing commission probably will be held next Saturday night at the armory. Tentative plans for the card call for three six-round bouts and three four-round contests, all with local talent. This is the proposal Matchmaker Hansen will lay before the commission at its meeting. The Portland commission has a clear field for the next two weeks as Milwaukie has no card coming up until March 17. The Portland com mission wants to try out Saturday night- for shows.

Davis, pitcher, who comes to the San Francisco club of the Pacific Coast Baseball league from the New York Giants, sent in his signed contract re cently and announced he would leave soon for the coast. Davis spent the winter in Utah. Another player from the majors, Pete Kilduff, inflelder from Brooklyn, has wired that he will leave immedi ately for San Francisco. Kilduff has not accepted the terms yet and it is said he is asking a rather high sum. As the local owners rate him highly, however, they probably will come to terms. made a fine showing at his workout and bids fair to be one of the coast league's best pitchers this season. Elmer Jacobs and Joe Dailey checked in at the camp Wednesday and Harry Gardner was due yesterday. CALIFORNIA ' PLANS STADIUM Hope Expressed to Use New Field for New Year's Day Game. BERKELEY, Cal., Feb. 25. Uni versity of California hopes to play football against an eastern college team next New Year's day in a sta dium to be buiit on the campus here this year, Graduate Manager Nichols has announced. California has played in the annual New Year's day east west games at Pasedena for the last two years. The new stadium is to cost approxi mately $800,000 and will seat 70,0000. The playing field is to be excavated and the earth banked on the sides for seats. California originally planned a million-dollar concrete stadium off the campus here, but the plan was dropped when the land which was wanted for the stadium could not be hand at the price figured on.

At this time last year the United States Lawn Tennis association had received challenges from approxi mately a dozen nations for competi tion for the Davis cup. Thus far in 1922 the only challenge has been that of the British Isles. It Is almost a certainty that both Japan and Australia again will be on the list, and these nations, with the OBSERVATION NECESSARY TO SUCCESS IN ATHLETIC WORLD Few Athletes Rise to Top Until They Have Had Many a Good View of the Stars in Action. . BILLIARD TOURNEY NARROWS Only Eight Players of the 40 Start ers in the Lists. The three'eushion handicap bil liard tournament at the Rialto has narrowed down until only eight play ers of the 40 that started remain in the lists. C. Fairbanks and George Weber remain undefeated, each having won five matches without losing a game to date. Fairbanks carries a handi cap of 27, while Weber is playing with a 32 handicap, so when they meet the former has to run only 27 billiards to win, while Weber must register 32. Harry Gardner, one of the six players with four games won and one lost, is packing a stiff handicap of 40, the highest in the tournament. All the remaining players are about even. Gardner and Weber each have turned in a high1 run of seven billiards. Four games will be played off this week. Results in Friday night's matches were: George Hart beat E. H. Dainard, 32 to 24; R. B.

Thecouncil will be made up of Manager Pat Moran, Jake Dau bert, the veteran first baseman, with George Burns as the chief field as sistant. Daubert will captain the Reds. Manager Moran and his as sistants will start a drive to make every player run out his base hits. "There will be no loafing this sea son," Moran said. "Every man will tear into first base at top speed. There will be no stops to find out where the ball has gone." GOPHER COACH TELLS PLANS BY SOIi METZGER. i ALTOGETHER there are as many ways of perfecting one's self in any game as there are Instruc tors. But a close study of the meth-, ods of champions brings to light the Interesting fact that observation Is always a most necessary factor In attaining the pinnacle. : Athletes may be perfect in fundamentals and pos sess all the nerve In the world, but few of them rise to the top untl they have had many a good view of the stars in action. We submit In support of this con tention some few facts: Take the big leaguers. Rarely do they get their berths until they have devoted a sea son or two to the bench watching. Take the golf champions. The ma jority have risen from the ranks of caddies, a school offering rare op portunities for noting the form of the best players. Take football. The big teams of all time have been those made up of ex-school boys whi have had abundant opportunity to witness the best college elevens in action. Pop "Warner attributes his success with the Indians to the fact that they learned football by watching it played, so amazingly developed were their powers of imitation. What advantage Is to be gained by observation? How does It actually benefit your game? These are per tinent questions, readily answered. Did you ever note how easy It seems for a good golfer to play a good shot, or a good footballer to make a clean tackle, or a star third baseman to field a grounder and whip the ball to first. Come to think of It, didn't every one of these actions seem simpler easy? The result was that if you hap pened to be playing any one of those games you strove to do the particu lar act ;n wnicn you were Interested in like manner your next time at It. And in proportion to your ability to note carefully the swing of the golfer, the movements of the third baseman, the drive of the tackier, you improved your own game. You had seen how really simple were the ac tions and movements of the i.killed a'.niete in doing his stunt. If you are quite keen in your sense of observa tion and your ability to imitate you will somehow get the "feel" of the golfer's swing, of the third Backer's movements, of the tackler's drive. Then you go and do likewise or know the reason why. You battle for im proving your game Is half won. Many books have been written how to play our various games, good ones, too. But the authors and champions will admit, once they are cornered, that the keen observation of the methods of the more skilled will carry you further and faster than will all the study of texts and treatises you can crowd into your cranium. The textbooks on sport are of ben efit to the experienced player. From them he can gain valuable tips! His experience alone permits him to ap preciate what the writer Is driving at. The beginner and the one lack ing In sound methods gains little from reading, much from observation. One must know what the goal is before attempting It. Even the messenger who sought Garcia admits that ad vantage at the start. STANFORD UNIVERSITY. Palo Alto, Cal., Feb. 25. (Special.) According to an announcement by the coaching staff, Glenn Waraer and Tiny Thornhill will arrive at Stanford In time to start spring foot ball practice April 4. Warner, con sidered one of the greatest of foot ball mentors, will have plenty of material frnm which to select a workable squad. Though Warner is under contract with the University of Pittsburg for two more years, he will coach spring work at Stanford and leave a lieutenant to complete the fall training. In an interesting swimming meet in the Cardinal pool last week the Olympic club team tied the local tank artists, 34 to 34. The surprise of the meet was the defeat of Phil Patter son, the Olympic club's Pacific coast diving champion, by White, who has been under Coach Brandjsten's tute lage only a few months. Hawley of Stanford scored 68 feet In a record plunge. The main event of the asuatic year will be an invitational swim ming meet in the Cardinal pool March 11, at which various universi ties and clubs in northern California will enter strong teams. It is planned to make this invitational meet an annual event. Daily tryouts for places on the handball team, which will meet the University of California In the an nual dual meet, are conducted under the eye of Director Botsford. Mack sen and Mark Cohn, former Lincoln high champion, have shown up well. Handball is now recognized as a minor sport and championship players will meet the Californians on the Olympic club's enclosed courts. Six additions to the Cardinal track squad were made by Coach Temple ton last week. They are Bennlnger, Wassum. Ely, French, Wilcox and SchalL The following- event leaders were selected: Sprints, Kirkseyr hurdles, Falk; 440-yard dash, Will iamson; 8&0-yard run, Scofield; two mile run, Eddleman; pole vault, Black; high jump, Howell; broad jump, Hartranft; discus, Tauzer; and javelin throw, Hanner. Tho first meeting with an outside club will be held In the local oval March 18, when the Cards test their strength against the Olympic club of San Francisco.

MINNEAPOLIS,' Minn., Feb. 25. Development of the individual will be the first point stressed by W. H. Spaulding when he assumes charge of the football coaching at the Univer ffty of Minnesota next fall, in suc cession to Dr. H. L. Williams. Spauld ing, who comes to Minnesota from the directorship of athletics a't West ern State Normal school, Kalamazoo, Mfch. outlined his tentative plans for Gopher football in a statement to the Associated Press. "My great personal endeavor," he said, "will be to teach the individual player to block right, tackle right, run with the ball right and forward pass right, and do those things with every atom of energy that can be stirred up in his system. Men must perform the requisite individual acts with their bodies against the bodies of their opponents or the most won derful schemes of attack or defense on paper will fall flat on the field of action. "Secondly, an endeavor will be made to develop a team punch. Part of that punch comes naturally from thorough drill in fundamentals, but the team as a whole must have drive, fighting quality and something else the ability to lift itself to the extra pitch of play needed lor a crucial game. "For my general scheme of attack, I believe in a few plays and fast, hard drill in them. I am not a great hand for anything intricate, feeling that there is too much timo taken up in working out highly, involved plays which more often than not- fall flat against a smart defense." California Crews at Practice. BERKELEY, Cal., Feb. 25. Two varsity and two freshman crews of the. University of California already have taken to the waters of the Oak land estuary in preparation for the collegiate races against the Univer sity of Washington on Lake Wash ington at Seattle April 22. California looks for no easy race at Seattle, for the Bear boat this year will contain only three veterans, while the north erners, It Is said, have six men who were in the shell which was defeated on the 'estuary here in 1921. UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO, Moscow, Feb. 25. (Special.) Insinuations that, the University of Idaho has no right to take the coast conference cham pionship with only an eight-game schedule, which are coming as an aft ermath of the Idaho-Washington series, in which the Vandals took both games, are declared by Fred Graf, graduate manager, to be unjust and unfair. Mr. Graf formed the Idaho schedule at the Portland meet ing last fall, at which Idaho was ad mitted to the Pacific coast conference and Washington to the northwest conference. "Idaho was willing to sacrifice other games to make way for coast I conference teams," said Mr. Graf. "We even offered to play a return series at Seattle with the University of Washington, but Darwin Meis nest, graduate manager, said that it would be impossible this year on account of a full schedule, and that anyway it was Washington's time to visit Idaho. "The Oregon Aggies also were of fered two games, either at Moscow or Corvallis, and an effort was made to play two return games with the University of Oregon. California, likewise, was approached in the hope that It could find room for a game or two with the Vandals and one game was tentatively arranged, but this was canceled shortly before the Bears started north. In making the Idaho schedule an effort was mado to play as many conference teams as we could and yet retain our standing it Tuesday. This organization, com In the northwest conference. Special i poge(i 0f the leading photo experts effort was made also to arrange our I o the university, was instructed in scneauie ana games 10 suit tnose oi other teams." Last year the University of Oregon took the Northwest conference cham pionship with only eight straight vic tories, while the University of Idaho, winning 17 out of its 19 conference games, ended at second place.
