' : - 1 -OREGON
judge Landis Indicates Be
yond Doubt His Decision.
EARLY ACTION PROMISED
Only Consolation in Telegram Is
Announcement That Decision
Will Be Made Speedily.
f BY L. H. GREGORY.
It appears to be all off with poor
Bill Kenworthy. Judge Landis has
not announced his decision yet, but in
a telegram late last night to Gus C.
Moser, vice-president and attorney
lor the Portland baseball club, he in
dicated beyond doubt that it will ba
unfavorable to Kenworthy and Port
land. The only consolation" the telegram
tontained is that the long-awaited
decision at last will be made speedily.
Ihe Judge promised the full text of it
within two or three days."
The telegram came in answer to
bne Thursday by Mr. Moser to the
judge asking an immediate decision
for the good of baseball.
In his reply last night Judge
Landis said:
.Tour wire of May 18 received. Matter
will be disposed of In all aspects within
two or three daya. Meanwhile the Portland
club should make no plans on assumption
that Kenworthy will return to Its lineup.
Pee last sentence my wire April 18 to
Tresident Klepper.
The last sentence of the . April 18
telegram thus referred to was as fol
lows: ' Certainly I deplore the present situation,
but it must be distinctly understood as
a fundamental of baseball that no club
will be permitted to profit from conditions
fraudulently created on another club for
the definite purpose of enticing the other
club's players away.
The implication is unmistakable
that Kenworthy will not be per
mitted to play with Portland at all.
Whether the judge suspends him for
the season, orders his ears to be cut
off, sentences him to be hanged, or
what, will be known only when his
long-postponed rulinj; actually ap
pears. So It is now up to the Portland
baseball club to consider its next
move. That undoubtedly will be a
demand on Seattle for the return of
Marty Krug from the Chicago Cubs,
to which club he was sold for $7500
by Seattle immediately after having
been traded by Portland to Seattle
even up for Kenworthy,
It is not unlikely that Judge Landis
will take official cognizance of
Krug's status, along with that of
Kenworthy, for the two are inex
tricably bound together by the terms
of the trade with Seattle Those
terms as set out in black and white
were that the trade should be binding
only if Krug came to terms with Se
attle, which he did after holding out
for several weeks, and, further, only
If Kenworthy should be declared el
igible to play by Judge Landis In his
final disposition of the case. This
proviso was made because Kenworthy
at the time was under suspension by
Landis' order.
That leaves the Portland club with
what Mr. Moser considers unassail
able ground for demanding the return
of Krug from Seattle, which in turn
would have to get him back from
Chicago. How the complicated case
will end nobody can more than guess,
but it is likely as not to get into the
courts before it is all over.
If Portland gets Krug he probably
will be traded or sold elsewhere, for
with Frank Brazill due here today
from the Philadelphia Athletics to
play second base there wouldn't be
room for him in the infield. From
his record, Brazill u a much better
hitter than Krug. But whether it can
use him or not, the Portland club is
certain to demand Krug's return and
to fight for it if the Landis decision,
as seems certain, permanently bars
Kenworthy.
The Kenworthy case already af
fects three clubs, Portland, Seattle
and Chicago, and goodness knows
how many more will be involved be
fore it is cleared up. Chicago played
Krug regularly at second base dur
ing the first month of the season, but
he has been on the bench for the last
couple of weeks. Marty wasn't hit
ting well and his fielding also was
erratic.
Judge Landis in a message to a
Portland sports writer yesterday con
firmed his statement to Mr. Moser
that the Kenworthy decision will be
announced within two or three days.
He said his delay was due to dif
ficulty in getting the facts in the
case, and that he would make public
his ruling "within two or three days."
Harry A. Williams,- the veteran
Los Angeles baseball writer, put his
imagination into high gear the other
day and predicted that within 25
years Los Angeles would be in the
National league. He conjured up a
picture of a series between New York
and Los Angeles in the Los Angeles
park as parc of the regular Nationa'
league schedule.
While his reasoning is typically
Los Angeleno and presupposes tha
the Pacific Coast league will oblig
ingly fall dead and let the National
league butt into its territory without
ever a murmur, he is at least enter
taining about it. He says in part:
"By that time Los Angeles will
have a population of at least 3.000.000
and more likely 4,000,000, counting
tne cities witmn a few minutes' ride
of it, and will have outgrown the
remainder of the Pacific Coast cir
cuit. Probably by that time it will
be the second city in the United
States. The country's real baseball
rivalry will then be not between New
York and Chicago, but between Los
Angeles and New lork.
"Distance too great, you opine?
There is no longer any such thing as
real geographical isolation. Did you
ever stop to reflect that Los Angeles
could jump to Chicago almost as
easily as it does to Seattle under
present conditions? The latter trip
requires three days and two nights.
But 25 years from now the longer
jumps in baseball probably will be
made through the air, with Chicago
and St. Louis only a matter of a few
hours, and New York by no means a
long and tiresome trip.
"With a population such as Los An
geles will then have from which to
draw, the National league could well
afford to drop Cincinnati or the
American to eliminate Washington,
and substitute the western metrop
olis. Some years ago there was talk,
and rather; serious talk, of incorporat-

Ing San Francisco in the National
league, breaking the jump by also
adding Kansas City or some other in
termediate city. This, of course, real
ly was impracticable.
"When Los Angeles finally is ad
mitted to one of the majors, it might
be considered desirable to add one
more western city, possibly San Fran
cisco or Oakland, depending on which
of these has the larger population by
that time. This would be done chief
ly to balance the circuit, and with
Los Angeles to draw from the league
would feel justified in carrying one
of those cities."
It's a nice dream, all right, and
Williams' pipe must have been draw

Angeles isn't wiped out meanwhile

O you begin to feel creaky in the
joints and to suspect that the
old pep isn't pepping quite up
to the mark? ; .
Do you feel as If you couldn't make
a standing broad jump from the edge
cf the sidewalk within inches of what
you could Jump a year or two ago? j
Do you avoid exerting your
strength for fear of a strain or dodge
ary kind of an unusual effort because
it might "pull your cork?" ,
If you do, take my word for It that
nine-tenths of your supposed retro
gression is mental It's a state of
mind nothing more. A little train
ing and confidence and you're right
back in shape again. :
Twenty-five years, ago I walked
down the street in East Orange, N. J.,
with a young amateur bike rider who
had just won two or three race and
had shown a remarkable turn of
speed for a novice. His name was
Frank Kramer.
"I'm going to stick to racing," said
Frank, "and I'm going to take care
of myself and last as long as- I can.
1 think I'll be riding faster 20 years
from now than I can today. I have
it all figured out. Clean f living,
ptenty of sleep, no . dissipation, lots
of work."
The youngster's notion of lasting
20 years or more in his game struck
me as rather unusual. Few cham
pions think so far ahead.
A few weeks- ago, April 16, to be
exact, Frank Kramer started his
twenty-third year of racing as a
el'ampion professional bicycle racer.
In all he has raced for 26 years, four
a.; an amateur champion and 22 as a
piofessional. He has lost races oc
casionally, of course, but has always
come back - with another winning
streak. His early v speed stays with
him ami in fact he rides faster to
day than he did 25 years ago which
makes his prediction more than good.
Golf and 10 Hours' Sleep.
Opponents say that much- of Kra
mer's success on the track is due to
a hiehlv developed "iumn" he gives
his machine at the finish mark. Often
a rival will be riding neck to neck
with the speed king right down to
the finish line and lose by inches
when Frank pulls out that final ef
fort and leaps ahead.
Kramer is a hard man to beat. He
has "won the professional champion
ship of America 18 times and the am
ateur championship twice. ; He won
the world's championship in ' 1919-
the only time he ever competed for It.
Frank Kramer is now 41 years of
age and his speed is still there; ..He
was born in EvansviLe. Ind, but the
Hoosier state missed a lot of fame
because Frank emigrated to East
Orange when a little fellow and has
lived there since.
If you asked Kramer the reason
for his success he would tell you that
he keeps his speed because he sleeps
lu hours every night and makes it a
positive rule to be in bed by 9 o'clock
and to rise at 7. He lives largely
on a fruit and vegetable diet, and
oats sparingly. His only drink is
water. He never smokes and the
fact that many of his friends have
well-stocked cellars is no temptation
tc him.
In the last .five years Frank has
played a great deal of golf, which he
says gives him just the right amount
of physical and mental exercise to
keep fit. EVen on the days of his
hardest races he ffoea out in th
morning for a round on one of the
Newark courses. .
Asked how he can find entertain
ment while sticking to his early -to-bed
schedule Frank laughed and said
that when he wants extra amusement
h goes up to his attic and reads a
few of the "mash notes" that fill
two trunks. Kramer has long been
an idol of the bike fans. He has re
ceived thousands of letters from the
ladies.
"But I never answered : any of
them," says Frank.
Perhaps that's why he still has that
"jump'." -. 1
Cbnmpion 47 Years).' .
Bicycle racing is a strenuous form
of competition. To find anything
equaling Frank Kramer's record of
B u fc PUU1 I.
Tom Carroll, the great professional
weight-thrower and all around ath
lete, is another remarkable figure
among long-lived champions, the
greatest athlete I have ever known.
Torn1 first began - breaking world's
weight-throwing records when he
was 18 years old. He was then 6
feet 6 inches tall and weighed about
190 pounds.
Today at 65 he is 6 feet T, weighs
265 pounds, hasn't a gray hair, is built
like Jack Dempsey, and can etill
throw a 56-pound weight as far as
ever, although ho complains that he
lacks the swift drive and the snappy
wrist action he used to have when he
could put the 16-pound shot 50 feet.
He still holds about 20 world's pro
fessional weight-throwing records.-
M ve slipped back a little with the
hammer," Tom told me last time I
met him (he was 63 then), "and I can
only get it out about 165 feet" Then
he picked up a 56-pound weight and
hurled it 38 feet to show me the dif
ference. "I'm as strong as ever," he said,
"but I'm losing a little speed."
Forty-seven years a chamDion!
There's food for thought in that. Car
roll nas been a clean-Iivlnsr athlete
all the way. His one dissipation has
been a love for an occasional pipe or
cigar, and every two or three years
he took a "cure" for that and cut out
smoking for a while. .
Carroll,' like Kramer, saye sleepr is
the one absolutely necessary thing for
a man who want to be strong and
healthy; sleep and plenty of good well
water to drink every day. He eats
anything. He trains steadily, but
never to the point of exhaustion.
Among , fighters Johnny Kilbane
looks like one of the lasting champs.
Johnny won the ttle nearly eleven
years ago and he hasn't shown any
signs of being willing to give it up
yet. Every now and then some
youngster knocks out a lot of rivals
and gets up to Kilbane, only to be
knocked out himself. -
Jack Dempsey looks like another
long-term champion. He says that
he expects some young fellow to come
along some time and "knock him for
a goal."
"But it won't be because I don't
take care of myself," he saysl '
Brooks' Stamina Wonderful.
The most remarkable amateur golf
er I know is Walter J. Travis, who
started playing at 35 to restore
broken-down health and continued
playing tournament golf to the- age
of 59. He won many American titles
and in 1904 at Sandwich captured the
English .amateur, trophy-being the
only American who ever turne . the
trick. -
A few days ago Travis, who is play
ing a game now and then and still
shooting that amazingly accurate
ball, said that golf is a national bless
ing tht it saved his life and has
saved many others.
Among tennis players Norman
Brookes of Australia is a world fig
ure still, after'-.' 24 years of steady
play among the champions. Brookes
began playing tournament tennis at
20. He is a left-handed player, but
that has been no handicap.
A thin, wiry, gaunt-looking man,
he has developed tennis speed and
skill to a remarkable degree and his
stamina has often enabled him to beat
much younger opponents.
He has often represented Australia
in international matches. In "many
respects he is the most noted player
who ever took part in the Davis cup
matches. On three different occa
sions his playing won from the United
States.
This year Norman Brookes has
given up heavy competition and is
coaching the Australian team with
which he hopes to bring home the
cup and the world championship. '

Sparrow McGann Thinks Demp

ferent Color on : Battle.
BT SPARROW McGAJ?N.
(Copyright, 1922, by The Oregonlan.)
NEW YORK, May 20. (Special.)
Jack Dempsey is back again. Inci
dentally Jack kearns is back, too.
Don't overlook Jack Kearns. With
out the agile And ebullient Kearns,
Dempsey would be like a mandolin
player with a broken pick. Kearns
belongs to no union, but he is a mas
ter builder all right. He builds big
money fights for his ace. Kearns is
such a good builder that had he been
in this country, the proposed Bren-nan-Dempsey
fight in the open air
Michigan City wouldn't look like such
a pork-and-beans affair.
We don't know how Kearns would
have made it look any better. But
he would. He has the knack. To
watch Kearns work is almost as good
as seeing Dempsey fight. The Wills
battle project will be worth watch
ing, too. Building on that fight to
date has been along lines of having
it -appear that Dempsey is just a wee
mite afraid of Harry. Which he is
not. He has it up and up on that
blackbird.
Two years ago Wills would have
given Jack a better run than he
would be able to do today. The two
Jacks Kearns and Dempsey know
that. You didn't see Dempsey fight
ing Wills two years ago, did you?
Now the firm is ready for Harry any
time that anybody will put up a big
enough wad of money to make the
battle worth while. Wonder what
Kearns will do when he sees oppo
sition to a mixed bout developing in
Canada as it has in the last week?
Meantime, the Carpentler-Dempsey
bout is set for England in the fall.
Whether it is held or not depends
upon many things. It seems to be
certain that Carpentier will come
over here to meet the winner of the
Tunney-Greb . fight next Tuesday
night at the Garden. There would be
big money in such a battle it would
indeed be a small battle of the cen
tury, and not so small at that.
With Carpentier stowing away his
man in fine fashion, then the Demp-sey-Carpentier
fight will go on big
abroad. Otherwise the works will
sure be in on that battle.

THORPE LIKES BASEBALL
GAME
DECLARED GREATEST
SPORT OF ALL.
Indian Outfielder Attributes Suc
cess in Football to Glenn Warner,-
Carlisle Coach.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 20. Jim
Thorpe, the' Indian, who in 1912, was
the all-around star of the Olympic
games, said here recently that he con
sidered baseball the greatest sport of
all. The fact that he is an outfielder
for the Portland Coast league club
did not altogether affect his judg
ment, he said.
However, all sports are good in
their seasons, Thorpe admitted. The
records show that from 1904 to 1909
he played great football, on the Car
lisle Indian team. His success he
largely ascribed to Glenn Warner, its
coach, who may come to the coast to
coach Stanford's football squad. Later
Thorpe organized and played with
the Canton Bulldogs, a professional
football team, and when the baseball
season is over this fall he plans to
play again with the Bulldogs.
Next year, Thorpe said, he may at
tempt to form a professional football
league, with teams in San Francisco,
Los Angeles, Portland and Seattle.
He Is 38 years old, and hits the line
hard.
Thorpe believes that small colleges
develop better all-round athletes than
do the big institutions. Carlisle was
a small school, he explained, and kept
him busy wittf - baseball, " football,

MARKS ARE 'BROKEN
Fast Meet Is Replete With Thrills
and Dope Upsets Ole
Larson Wins in 100.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON". Eugene.
May 20. (Special.) In a fast meet,
replete with thrills and dope upsets,
the University of Washington track
feated the Oregon team here
oon, as the feature event
junior week-end programme.
by a score of 76 to 56. Washington's
feat in capturing aii three places in
the 220-yard low hurdle event was
the undoing of Oregon and the lead of
the northerners was made safe for
the afternoon. ;
In a beautiful 100-yard dash, Ole
Larson, the sensational .sprinter of
Oregon team who has been unde
feated this year, beat Vic Hurley, the
veteran sprinter of purple and gold
to the tape by a few inches. From
all appearances the sprint was a dead
heat but the judges agreed that Lar
son broke the tape in the lead. The
time in this event, run in the tace of
strong wind, was 10 flat. The judges
and coaches agreed that with no wind
blowing the time might easily have
been :94.
Spearow Takes Three Flrstn.
Ralph Spearow, of Oregon compet
ing his first year on varsity team,
took three first places and was high
point man with his total of 15 points.
He won the pole vault at 11 feet 6
inches, the high jump at 5 feet 10
inches and the broad jump at 21 feet
i inches. Vic Hurley of Washing
ton and Scotty Strachan of Oregon
tied for second place as high point
I men with 11 points each.
Coach Edmundson's men were not
content with upsetting the dope by
winning all three places in the low
hurdles, but the northerners also
captured first and second places In
the 440-yard dash, which was a sur
prise because Sundeleaf, who won the
race at Corvallis last week against
the Aggies was expected to be rated
among the leaders in this race at thj
finish tape.
Hurley Xows Out Oberteuffer.
Vic Hurley running in his true form
nosed out Del Oberteuffer of Oregon
in the 220-yard dash by a yard after
Oberteuffer had led him almost to the
finish tape. The sprints were full of
thrills and in no case wa there more
than a scant few yards between the
first and last runners.
A strong wind on the track during
the afternoon was probably all that
kept a few coast records from being
at least equaled, for the time in all
the sprints was the fastest made in
any northwest meets so far this year.
Even the distance events were closely
contested although the time was not
fast, considering the predictions of
coaches and dopesters. Guy Koepp of
Oregon and Zenner of Washington
ran a pretty race in the two-mile
event, the final quarter mile sprint of
the runners bringing the crowd to its
feet when the two men ran a dead
heat for three-quarters of the dis
tance of this last lap. Koepp took a
lead on the home stretch and finished
10 yards ahead of Zenner.
Anderson Defeats Hurler.
Vic Hurley of the purple and gold
team, eliminated his chances for sec
ond place for high point man in the
220-yard low hurdles by slowing up
when he saw he had an easy lead
and allowing Anderson to cross the
tape ahead of him. Anderson is in
debted to Hurley for the race and
the letter which he won as a result.
The Oregon team Jumped in the
lead from the start when Larson took
first and Oberteuffer third in the
century dash. This lead was held
until well along tpward the last of
the meet, the low hurdles, discus and
Javelin throwing th visitors in the
lead by a fair.ly safe margin. In the
pole vault Spearow did not try for a
record( contenting himself with first
place at 11 -feet 6 inches which he
cleared easily. Spearow was not
doped to win the high jump which he
took from Frankland, the Washington
veteran, at a height of 5 feet 10
inches.

relay race from the first runner and
