JflPIESElll v? IS PEEVED ATTHYE Miyake Says Portland Man Is Afraid to Meet Him. TED BARS ANY JUI JITSU Local Grappler Declares Readiness to Battle Under American Rules With Oriental. Terro Miyake, Japanese bone-crusher par excellence, is still hot on the trail of Ted Thye. Miyake has been in town tor two weeks now and is getting rather peeved. He seems to think that he has a right to meet Thye on the padded square. He even roes so far as to say that Thye is afraid to meet him. Miyake is probably the best Jap anese wrestler in this country and lays claim to the world jiu jitsu . championship title. He has met Strangler Lewis, Marine Plestina and Stanislaus Zbysko in jitsu matches. Miyake is also a very good catch-as-catch-can wrestler, but prefers his own style the best. He wants to wear the Jackets in a match with Thye, but says he is willing to meet him in any style. Thye Bars Jin Jitsu. Thye, the local wrist-lock expert, has not much to say in regard to the match only that he wants it under stood that he is not afraid to meet Miyake or any one else near his weight. Thye will not grapple under the jiu jitsu rules, as he does, not know enough about them. He is will ing to meet the Japanese, but only on the condition that they meet under the American style. Should the matmen get together the macth no doubt will be conducted tinder the catch-as-catch-cah rules. This should in no way handicap the Japanese wrestler, as he has used this etyle to great advantage. While waiting on Thye, Terro does not want to remain idle and here 13 an excellent chance of some sort of a contest being cooked up for him with In the coming week. One promoter has come forward with an offer to Miyake to throw three heavyweights within an hour. Japanese Fixes Condition. The Japanese said yesterday that he would consent to do this if he would be allowed to wrestle jiu jitsu. This grappling show probably will be put on within the next two weeks. There is only one grappling event that is certain of being held within the near future and that is & return contest between Oscar Butler, Port land middleweight, and Basanta Singh, the Hindu middleweight. They will wrestle Tuesday night, March 14, at the Woodman of the World hall. East Sixth and Alder streets. Butler and Singh recently wrestled a two-hour draw, but this time the match will be the best two out of three falls or a decision at the end of two hours. The wrestlers have agreed that there must be a decision at .the end of two hours. The card will be rounded out by two fast pre liminaries. STROKE NOT TO CHANGE J t m BERKELEY 8-OARED CREW WILL COXTIXCE METHOD. Washington Rowers Loom Large Upon Horizon as Strong Coast Competitors. SAX FRANCISCO. March 4. Just how the rumors started that Coach Wallis intended to alter the stroke of the University of California eight oared crew no one seems to know. The rumor is just one of those mys terious whisperings that start from nowhere. There is no foundation for the rumor, vvallis has been working on the present stroke at California ever since he started teaching the boys at Berkeley. That his methods ana stroke have been successful is evi denced by the fact that he brought California from an "also ran" entry some years ago to the Pacific coast championship last year, and good enough to row into second place last year in the national intercollegiate regatta at Poughkeepsie. - Probably what started the rumors was the announcement by Wallis that he "was worried about his stroke," meaning of course, finding a man who could take the place of that greatest stroke oarsman who has ever rowed for the California crew, Larson. And that question is still bothering him. At present he is us ing Jacobus, a varsity man of other years, but is seriously' thinking next week of placing McMillan in the stroke slide. The California crew is ragged in its stroke, lacks smooth ness and has a decided inclination to fail on its 'pull through." These are faults that can be straightened out, but until .Wallis finally decides .on his stroke man it is hardly likely that he will achieve results. The University of Washington is said to be showing up in great shape. Coach Leader is not altogether satis fied with his crew, but they are rounding into perfection of stroke that is always gratifying to a coach. Last year's Washington crew was nosed out by California by only five feet. Incidentally, Coach Leader had in his boat the lightest crew that ever represented Washington, the men averaging only 169 pounds. This year's crew will be considerably heavier and probably will average nine or ten pounds per man heavier than last year. Three varsity crews are working out on Lake Washington at Seattle. One of the boats averages 178 pounds, and this looks to be the boat load which will represent the varsity; an other averages 174 pounds and the third averages 169 pounds, and there Is still another crew known as the 'featherweight crew," which averages 168 pounds. California, with only two of last year's veterans, is anxious to repeat its victories of last year, while the Washington crew is just as anxious to wipe out- its defeat. Only this one race will be rowed on the Pa cific coast this year, and the winner will go to. Poughkeepsie. YALE SHORTENS SCHEDULE Ells to IMay Eight Less Baseball Games Than Last Year. NEW HAVK onn..

Showing of Wrestling; Holds by Boys and Flashlight Dance .Are Among Interesting Features. The 14th annual gymnastics exhibi tion of the Portland Social Turn Verein was held last night at the municipal auditorium. The crowd was the largest that ever saw the ex hibitions, and practically every seat the house was occpied. One of the features of the pro gramme was the showing of all the known wrestling holds by 80 boys, while the music was playing. An other feature was th flashligt dance, which 16 young women in costume participated. Exercises on the parallel bars. wihtoh apparently are difficult to per form, were cleverly executed by sev eral class leaders. The building of pyramids in Roman ladders was a fea ture. Ths exhibition was under the direction of Richard Genserowski, physical education irestructor. The complete programme follows: Overture. George E. Jeffrey's orchestra; MINIATURE YACHT RACING IS GETTING START IN NORTHWEST Idea Gains Ground Locally and Enthusiasts Are Ambitious to Win Coast Championship by Inter-city Contests. BY P. GORDON LEWIS. INIATURE or model yacht rac ing, one of the scientific and popular sports in Europe and the eastern part of the United States and California, is getting a start In the Pacific northwest. Nothing is as thrilling to many persons as a yacht race; nothing as beautiful as a sailing yacht gliding over the blue waves with all sails "drawing," "a bone in her teeth," leaving a foaming wake. But most of us are unable to sat isfy the ambition of being real yachtsmen on 50-footers therefore the miniature. Most any one can own one. The writer built his first model 22 years ago in Los Angeles at the age of 11, and sailed a race with a schoolmate in West Lake park. From then on we built a boat or two a year until 1905 at the opening of Venice, CaL There was a great model yacht race held in the main lagoon for a beautiful cup put up by Abbot Kinney, mayor of Venice. This event brought together the model yachts men of Los Angeles'and vicinity and we organized a club of about five members, went to work and built new and faster boats, bought a perpetual challenge cup and sailed some races on the old lagoon at Playa del Rey, CaL About this time I was called to New Tork on some business matters and when I returned to Los Angeles two years later I was unable even to find my yacht, let alone any mem bers of the club. After that I had the pleasure of witnessing some races on Spreckels lake in San Francisco, and also saw some of the boats of the Centra Park Model Yacht club in New York. The most notable . clubs organized during the last years are the above mentioned, the Prospect Park clubs in Brooklyn, N.- Y., ' Irvington, N. J., San Francisco and. Just lately, Seattle, Tacoma and Victoria and Vancouver, British Columbia Idea Suggested Locally. I am told that Glasgow, Scotland, has several clubs, each one having its own lake. Here in Portland the idea was sug gested at a luncheon of the Portland Ad lub one Wednesday last June by A. C- Callan, local shipping man. The idea was sponsored by the club. Last fall when K. D. Dawson, manager of the Columbia-Pacific Shipping com pany, donated a handsome sterling silver trophy, we were substantially encouraged and are now ambitious to win the Pacific coast champion ship by intercity contests; and also to hold an international race here in lt'25. For some time the model yachts men built in all sizes and designs to suit their own fancies, and sailed in free-for-alls." This, to my mind, gave the designers more opportunity -to THE WINNING TOURNAMENTS TROEH. grand entrance of. all classes; Indian club swinging: with one club; Russian dance, first girls' class, 6-11 ; free hand ex ercises and marching; games, first boys' class, 6-11 years; dumb bell exercises and steps.

TAD JONES BACK AT YALE Football Coach Returns to Discuss Next Season's Plans. NEW HAVEN, Conn., Feb. 25. Tod Jones, Yale football coach, . has re turned after an absence- of three months. , Jones will confer with the Tale football committee and Captain Jor dan of the Eli eleven regarding next season's plans. Two matters will be immediately settled the coaching staff for next fall and the plans for spring practice. URBANA, 111., March 4. The second national intercollegiate traik and field meet, under the auspices of the National Collegiate Athletic associa tion, will be held in Chicago on June 17, it was decided today. compete with the skillful sailors. Now they are all building to rule and in some cases to exact class de signs, practically putting the entire competition into the handling of the Doats under sail. - To sail a' miniature yacht really required more skiii than a full-sized one for the reason that everything has to be adjusted exactly before she is started. Building Requires Skill. Building a model requires some skill and considerable patience, but any man or bov with some mechan ical ability can, with proper direc tions, a few good tools and the nec essary material, build himself a boat that not only will sail but may win a race. The simplest and most satisfactory mode of constructing a miniature is the "lift" method. This consists of taking several boards of the length and width of the boat being built, about one and one-half rnches or less in thickness, sawing them out to shape on the outside and on the in side and then glueing together what is left and finishing it off. The best material for the hull Is cork pine; sugar pine also is good. To build a 40-inch "overall" boat, get five or six boards about one and a quarter inches thick by eight or ten inches wide and 40 inches long, surfaced four sides. Next, take a sheet of heavy wrap ping paper, same length, rule a straight line- down the center and lay off the deck plan by using a batten or flexible stick. By making this paper pattern only the half width, or beam, it can be traced on the top board on one side of the center and reversed for the other side, thereby insuring symmetry. Then lay your boards or "lifts" on one another ac curately to form a block, laying the one with the deck pian on top face up. This block should be held to gether temporarily with two large ironwood screws going through all the boards and just taking hold in the bottom one. These screws should be driven exactly on your center line and well toward the middle, longi tudinally, so that they are sure to go into the keel and nowhere else. Now, you roughly cut the block to conform with deck plan with the band or turning saw and a draw knife, leaving plenty of material, about a half inch or more, for finish ing down later with the spokeshave. You will find that the two most necessary tools in this work are .a spokeshave and one-inch gouge, "out side bevel." Next the profile plan is roughly sketched on the new curved sides and cutting with saw and drawknife fol low. It is, of course, highly advisa ble to study the lines of good boats In the Yachting magazine or other authorities and keep in close touch .with same while cutting out the cull. ' I I SUNDAY OltEGOXIAX. TRAP SHOOT TEAM PICKED BY Mill Frank Troeh of Vancouver Ranked Number Six. TEN HIGH AVERAGES GIVEN Considering Only Records at Sin gles Targets Troeh Is High est With Average of 9 7 40.- With All -American teams of all sorts being selected, an all-American trapshooting team is in order, so Stoney McLinn, secretary of the American Trapshooting association, is out with his annual selection. Frank M. Troeh. the famous Van couver. Wash.', trap shot, who member of the Portland Gun club, is given a niche on the mythical team and ranked No. 6. In discoursing on his team MoMinn writes as follows "The All-American trapshooters, with their official averages, follow: Art Risser. Paris. Ill 9788 W. H. Heer, Guthrie, Okla. .9775 E. W. Renfro, Butte, Mont 878 Woolfo-lk Henderson, Lexington, Ky.. .97B5 Frank Hughes. Mobridge. S. D 9748 Frank M. Troeh. Vancouver. 'Wash.. .9740 W. H. Patterson. Buffalo, N. T 973 W CI. Warren. Verinirton. Nev. ' 973 John H. Noel. Nashville. Tenn 97L1 Paul R. Earle, Starr, S. C 9720 "Risser. No. 1 man of the team is entitled to his position, for the Paris gunner rolled up "the greates season's average ever made by amateur, trapshooter. Of the ten men seven are the singles champions" of their states. These are Renfro, Hen derson, Hughes, Troeh, Warren, Noel, and Earle. Patterson and Earle are champions of their zones. "The east, considering the Missip pi river as the dividing line, has four members on this team Henderson Patterson, Noel and Earle and is thereby outnumbered by the west. As the eastern follower of sport would regard the line-up, only one man Patterson, could be regarded as a rep resentative of the eastern section- of the United States, but it must be re membered that there is a real climax to every trapshooting season, which is unlike the condition found in foot ball. While each section of the coun try, or zone, has its own champion practically all title-holders come to gether at the Grand American tourna ment, and a iine on every man's abil ity is to be had while he is under the hottest sort of fire or competition. However, the All-American team presented above, is based entirely upon averages made on single targets of 16 yards rise. To settle all gossip regarding a five-man tesjm, which could be se lected from the amateurs who shot enough of all kinds of targets to show their true wares, it "would be necessary to consider only trapshoot ers who shot at least 1000 singles, 16 yards rise; 200 targets in doubles and 500 targets in distance handicaps. This, it is true, would show the all- round ability of a shooter and while he declined to select such a team or to give it official recognition, Sec retary McLinn announced that the five high men, considering their per formances on singles, doubles and handicap targets, would be: Average Sgles. Dbles Frank M. Troeh. Vancouver. Wash , 9740 Dave Fauskee, ' Worthlngton, Minn 9645 .8977 .9150 James S. .Day, San Antonio, Texas 9657 Charles A; Gunning, Long- mont, Cal 9623 R. A. King. Delta. Cal 9630 .8800 .9000 .9000 Team record Shot at 25.540 targets: oroKe, Z4,4z; average, .uotu. "It will be noticed that the. east is not represented at all on this team and that Colorado has won the unique distinction of placing two men. This, pernaps is due, at least to some ex tent, to the fact that eastern trap shooters have not taken so strongly to doubles shooting. This undoubtedly kept many men, who stood high in the singles race, out of the running. I Furthermore many of the stars of j singles and doubles did not shoot I enough handicap - targets to qualify for the mythical team, and those facts probably caused Secretary McLinn to state that the all-around team would not be officially recognized this year. Perhaps, however, All-Ameiican tim ber may be selected in this way. CHAMPIONSHIP GAME SET ' AKLETA JUNIORS ARE TO PLAY HOLY NAME QUINT. Contest to Be Tuesday Night on Christian Brothers' Floor. Good Men on Teams. The championship game of the jun ior basketball tournament will be played Tuesday night on the Christian Brothers' floor. The Arleta Juniors and the Holy Name quintet won the first games Of the tournament last Wednesday on the Y. M. C. A. floor. The winner of Tuesday night's con test will hold the undisputed cham pionship of the city. The managers have assembled tw" of the fastest lightweight teams seen here for some time. Several high school stars are listed in the line-ups. At the forward positions the Arleta boys have a slight edge. Slade and O'Brien are fast and good shots. Brennon and Sisk are the Holy Name forwards. Brennon has been playing with Christian Brothers. The centers on both teams will be watched with interest. This is the Holy Name team's strong spot. It has Dewey McLoughlin, captain and star of the North Pactic Dental col lege. Arleta Is by no means weak in this position as it has Clair Scallon of the Franklin high school. Sport News and Comment Jack Kirkwood, premier Australian golfer, and one of the best trick golfers In the world, has Just arrived from the Antipodes and is on his way to Europe, where he will compete In all of the prin cipal tournaments during the coming sum mer. Kirkwood picked up the game in the -mother country " by watching the pro fessionals at piay. He not only assimilated what they had to offer, but went them one or more better, so that today the Australian is ranking along in the same bracket with Vardou, Ray. Hutchinson, Braid and the rest of the top notchers.. . Johnny Wilson is the emperor of the unemployed and king of enforced leisure.
