HONOLULU TEAM COMING S DECLARED WEAK Democfals First in AH but . One of Major Sports. . TENUIS IS WALK-AWAY Honors In High School League In Track, Baseball and Bas ketball Captured.. Championship honors of 1922 in the Portland high school league were almost monopolized by Jefferson. The Democrats won, four of the five major sports. The football cham pionship, which Jefferson did not win, remained a deadlock with Washington and Franklin tied for first place and a post-season game between the two schools resulted In a 7-to-7 tie. Except in tennis, which was a walkaway for Jeffereon, that school's three victories were hard fought and well earned. Jefferson started its winning rampage in basketball by defeating Lincoln in the champion ship game, 26 to 22. Lincoln had led a few minutes before the end of each half only to be overcome in the last threa minutes of play. Jefferson won all of its six basketball games and was the only undefeated team. Track Meet Won. Of the olx men on that champion ship team, only one, Mimnaugh, has graduated. The other five Ander son, Clark, Broughton, Hutchinson and Westerman are playing on the 1923 quintet, although Clark may not play regularly as he was badly bruised in football. The quintet was coached by Harold Quigley, who also handled track and football. . Jefferson's next victory was the l.igh school track and field meet on Multnomah field. Washington led jntil the last two events the high jump and the relay. The Colonials practically had the meet stowed away, as Wilkinson, who won the 1921 high jump, was almost conceded first place. Then Wilkinson was disqualified for hurdling and James Shaver, a dark horse, won the high jump for Jefferson. As the Demo crats also won the relay, they topped Washington by 4 points, 68 to 53. Bnseball Team Victorious. By defeating Lincoln in a post season baseball game Jefferson won its third consecutive championship. The two teams were tied for first place, each -having won four games out of five. In a post-season contest Jefferson won, 7 to 3. George White coached the baseball nine. Jefferson's final victory was in tennis. The Democrats won the boys' singles, boys' doubles and girls' doubles. Betty Hatch of Lincoln won the girls' singles championship. This was the only tennis event not taken by Jefferson. Isadore Wes terman won the boys' championship; l.lrglnia Lounsbury and Beatrice Thipps the girls' doubles and Will Wood and Richard Hoogs the boys' doubles. The high school relay carnival, one of the minor sports, was won by Washington high, which scored 21 points. Benson was second with 18 and Jefferson third with 11.

Hugh Mc Quillan, star pitcher, for whom the Giants paid the Boston Braves $75,000 last season, may never be able to pitch again. . Details of a serious injury to his arm and side, received in an auto mobile accident last October, were learned when McQuillan sued Miss Mildred Taylor, daughter of a broker and a prominent society girl, for 510,000 damages. As the second plaintiff In the case is Mrs. Margaret Farley, his mother-in-law, who was injured at the same time. The plaintiffs seek damages on the allegation that Miss Taylor was re sponsible for a collision on the Jeri cho turnpike which resulted in their injuries. McQuillan has been tinder medi cal treatment since then and his arm is responding slowly. The Giant of fice said today it would be impossi ble to tell until spring if he will be able to use his arm.

The four boats finished in ex actly the same order as they did in yesterday's heat, but made much slower time on account of rough water. The fastest lap was negotiated by Miss Detroit, which covered the three-mile leg in 4 minutes, 3 seconds, or an average speed of 44.4 miles an hour. This was exactly one minute slower than the fastest lap yesterday, when the Miss America finished the final three miles in 3 minutes, 3 seconds, an aver age speed of 59 miles an hour. Having won- two heats out of three, the Miss America is expected to have no difficulty taking first place in tomorrow's final heat.

LIFE OF CHAMPIONS NOT ALL ROSES. SAYS DEMPSEY Title-holder Tired of Honors and Expresses Desire to Lose Crown and Get Away Front Troubles. BY ROBERT EDGREK. I T'S tough to be a world's cham- j pion. Jack Dempsey told me so. I repeated Jack's remark to Christy Mathewson aftd wise old Christy smiled and said: "You tell Jack for me to think it over. He may be tired of all the attention that comes to a champion, but when he doesn't get it any more he'll miss it. Tell Jack for me he'll miss it when that time comes. The world will seem different. Tell him that for me." I told Dempsey, and Jack was partly convinced, but not entirely. "Sure," he said, "there's fun in being a champion for some people. But see what it's got me. Before I was champion I could box every week if I wanted to. No boxing com missions picked on my opponents and said they couldn't go with me because I was too good. "Any fellow who fights his way up is entitled to a chance to win the title. Suppose they hadn't let Willard fight me because he was a champion and too big and too good for every body! I was the outsider then. Lots of 'em thought I didn't have a chance. Some young fellow is likely to come along, If they'll let him. and clip me just the way I clipped Willard. I'm not so good that I can't be knocked out" Here Dempsey made a startling statement. Startling because It was such a contrast to the expressed am bitions of our old friend Benny Leonard, and of Johnny Kilbane and a lot of other ring champions who love the old title and think that it should have been turned over to them with the clause, "until death do us part" in the articles. "I don't want to retire with the championship when I'm through,' said Jack. "I want to be socked out of it when my time comes. "I want some young fellow to come .along and knock me for a Koal. "I don't Want to be known as the undefeated retired champion of the world. "I'm going to fight and defend my title as long as I can. but when I'm through let the next fellow have his chance, and I'll wish him luck; "When I'm through I want to be fx M.K1E EBEnT HITTER S- - v " C ABILITY TO FIND PITCHERS - fSSL WPi BOTHERS OPPONENTS.

Bcntley Is Stricken at Stanford Contest. SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 30. Charles H. Bentley, vice-president of the California Packing corpora tion and director of the Alaska Packers' association and the Cali fornia Fruit Canners' association, dropped dead at the football game at Stanford university today. He had been a sufferer from heart dis ease for several months, according to relatives here. Bentley was 62 years old and a brother of Robert J. Bentley, presi-. dent of the California Packing cor poration. He was a graduate of the University of California and first became identified with the fruit canning industry in Sacra mento and Visalia. In 1899 he was named general manager of the Cali fornia Fruit Canners' association and in 1916 went to the California Packing corporation as general sales manager. Bentley was an ex-president of the San Francisco chamber of com merce and was one of the chief aides to Herbert C. Hoover during the war. He is survived by his widow, the former Florence Beal Hush of Fruitvale, Cal., a son, Wilder, 21, a student at Yale uni versity, who was with his father to day, and a daughter. Sports Taught by Mail. Wisconsin university will teach sports by mall. The courses' will cover football, baseball and track athletics. . all through, and the sooner I'm set tled down quietly somewhere on an orange ranch or something, and peo ple forget I ever was a champion, the better it will suit me. 'Migosh!" said I. "Wouldn't you be contented to have somebody beat you on points?" Jack grinned. ' "Well, that might do," he con ceded, "but 'I've socked a lot of 'em and there's no reason I shouldn't get it in turn. A knockout doesn't hurt just cuts it short. I'd be satisfied to lose the title on points, sometime, if it was decisive enough so nobody would try to resurrect me five or six years afterward and make me fight again on the ground that I'm not through. When I'm through which won't be for a few years yet, I hope, nobody's going to drag me back to make a show of myself. Not for any amount of money." ' - "Listen," said Dempsey. "I didn't always feel this way about it. I had a wonderful time working up to Willard and beating him. I wasn't so sure I could beat him, and it was the most exciting moment in my life when he went down the first time. For a while after that, being cham pion was immense. I sure loved It. Then I began falling in with a new kind of "friends." Mostly I hardly knew them, but they introduced themselves to me and just Joined my party. I've begun to get wise to them enough so that I can pick out my real friends from the bunch, but I sure have some funny experiences with the rest of them. . "You know I kept my hotel apart ment when I went to the woods hunting a while ago. What do you think happened? Why, when I came back I got a bill for six men. The hotel charges according to the num ber of the people in the rooms. Six fellows who had just hung around and met me in the lobby moved In when I left. You ought to have seen the place when I returned. I had a couple of dozen good ties, some good shirts, and a lot of other clothes there. Every one of my shirts, collars and ties were gone and most of my clothes and shoes. "These birds would just say they were 'with the Dempsey party' and go up to my rooms and sleep there and take what they wanted. - They PRAYS FOR. left a few old dirty shirts of their own when they took mine. That was about all they did leave. . They even took my tooth brushes and things. And listen that wasn't all. They ate their meals in the dining room downstairs for a couple of weeks and charged them to my ac count. And I didn't even know those birds by name!" Dempsey began to' smile. Then he broke into a laugh. . J "That may be funny once in while, but when it happens all the time I don't get the joke," he grinned. "I'll tell you a funnier one. When I was on the Pacific coast with vaudeville show a while back we stayed for a week at a town in Washington. There was a fellow In another part of the show who was quitting at the end of the week. "He didn't have anything to do with my party. When we were leaving for the next place I went to settle up my hotel bill for the week and there was one item on it that didn't check up. " 'What's this?" I asked. " 'Why,' the clerk said, 'that's Mr. 'a bill. He said to have it charged to your party when he left last night, and he had us buy him a first-class ticket and berths to New York city on your account.' " 'He wasn't in my party. I don't even know him, and I won't pay it,' 1 said. " 'You'll have to pay it, or we'll sue you for it,' the hotel manager said. "Did I pay it? Well, I did that time. If I didn't, and the hotel sued me, a story would go all over the country that I was beating my hotel bills. As a champion I couldn't afford It. But you bet I let them know who I'm going to pay for. since then. ; "Still there are hundreds of guys trying every scheme in the world to horn into the money I'm supposed to have. I've made some big purses, but' far apart, and my expenses are heavy, traveling around with a staff of trainers and all that. They try to get close to me and sell me bum stock oil wells, mines, anything. It s got so I have to watch every step I take. If I bumped into some body on the street they'd bring a fake damage suit. I can't take a chance driving a car. Any business I do I figure out myself, and my Brother handles it for me. "Gee, I don't know but that I'll be glad when somebody does come along and sock me for a ten (count, because once I'm beaten Tm through me for a quiet life. Then I'll soon know my real friends. It'll be worth taking a sock on the chin for." At this Dempsey suddenly chased the look of gloom from his features and began to chuckle. .. "Say," he chortled, "there's one ioc oi leuows i never nave any doubt about, though. The kids are all my friends my best friends. Yeah, every one of them. Whenever I see a bunch of kids waiting to eet a look at me and call me 'Jack' or 'Champ' I feel like getting down in tne crowa ana putting my arms around the whole lot of 'em. They haven't grown up yet and they're honest and on the level. They like me. Kids always do. And I like them. "I'm never so happy as when I get into a gymnasium with a lot of newsboys and other kids and box with about a dozen of them. Gee! Kids like that! They never forget having the gloves on with a cham pion. It's great stuff for them. I tell 'em to cut loose and sock me as hard as they can, and I'm mighty careful not to hurt them and they have all the fun in the world. On the level, I wouldn't miss working out with a bunch of kids now and then. It sort of makes a fellow for get the other kind of people. Kids are great!" "With this in mind," said I. "per haps you won't be in such a hurry to nave someone sock you out of the championship.' "Well, perhaps not," grinned Jack. "I'd hate to disappoint a lot of kid friends of mine." College Favors Linemen Captains, Princeton football leaders run consistently to linemen, Snlvely, the new leader, is a guard, and so were Captains Dickenson and Mc- Graw. Callahan and Keck were, also. Many of the Tiger leaders of the past played on the line. Trench ard was an end; so were Langdon Lea and Garry Cochran. Hillebrand was a tackle, and Bill Edwards guard. Pell. was a tackle, and John de Witt a guard. Davis, Cooney Hart, Ballin and Wifcon were all linemen. Smith Trying His Best. William Smith, owner of the In dianapolis ball club, is bent on giv ing the fans a winner if possible. His latest move, a good one, was to get Carmen Hill, the bespectacled righthander, from John McGraw. Hill went to the Giants, near the close of the A. A. season. He won 16 out of 27 for the Indians. Batter With Average Near .400 Held to Be One of Best in American Association, f ST. LOUIS, Dec. 30. Sherwood Magee offers another contribution to the book of stories in which Joe Cantlllon figures as the hero. "The most dangerous hitter in the American association," said Sherry, "is Jay Kirke. He always hits from .360 to .400. He hits every thing bad balls, good balls, curves, fasts and slows. "What to pitch to Kirke is a seri ous matter for a pitcher in the American association, and at our skull sessions much of the time was devoted to talking on this point. "One timet in a game, Kirke was playing against us and his team started to score runs. Three runs were scored and the bases were full with two out when Kirke stepped to the plate. Cantlllon immediately signed his pitcher to come in and waved to a veteran left-hander in the bull pen to go in. At the same time there had been warming up in the bull pen a kid left-hander 6 feet 2 inches tall and weighing 200 pounds, named Cy Williams. "Williams rushed in to the bench and shouted at Joe: 'Let me go in; I know how to pitch to Kirke." "Acting on an impulse, Joe said, 'All right, go in and pitch.' Then he waved the veteran southpaw back. "Williams went to the tee, took a long wind-up and burned the ball three feet over Kirke's head. It was, the king of all wild pitches and two runs crossed. "Joe stood up and yelled for Will iams to come In. When he stepped down into the dugout Joe said, in the most serious vein: 'Boy, let's shake hands. You are the first pitcher I ever saw that knows how to pitch to Kirke." . SOCCER GAME IS BOOKED Camerons and Macleays to Play for Title Today. Portland Seccer League Standings. G. W. L. Pts.

Although the ground is muddy, the managers have decided to play regardless of weather. For three years the Macleays have finished in second place. This is the first time the Camerons have been in the running. Manager Bennett of the Camerons has strengthened OVERLOOKING OF DEFENSE TRAINING IS DISASTROUS Pennsylvania's Troubles Prove Chief Problem of Football Is Balanc ing of Offense and Defense in Coaching. BY SOL METZGER. PROBLEMS of football are many, but the chief one is balancing the defense and offense. Gen erally speaking, the eastern teams are strong on defense. They de velop It oh the theory that a team will not be beaten if its goal line remains uncrossed. In fact, most of the winning football systems in the east have been wedded to de fense first and all the time. They build defense first and then perfect the offense. As a result tney do not always show to advantage in early season games. Sometimes a cog slips. Usually they have tight battles to pull through If the op position is strong. One of the oddities of football is the failure of Helsman at Penn sylvania the last two seasons. No coach ever apparently developed greater attacking power than this mentor did while at Georgia Tech. But at Pennsylvania for two sea sons Heisman's teams have not been able to get going. There is a tale back of all this. Heisman's old Tech teams were powerful on offense because they worked on the theory that many touchdowns won games. Defense was overlooked. In fact, defense has been grossly neglected in south ern football until recently. As a result Heisman's old teams were able to run wild against most opponents. But when Tech at tempted invasions of the north, meeting teams like Pitt and Penn State, the widely-heralded offense of the Golden" Tornado was crum bled by the superior defensive play of these elevens. The result was demoralizing, for it Is an axiom of football that once you have stopped the attack of an eleven It Is not so difficult to counter-attack successfully. At Pennsylvania Helsman began by neglecting defense. His whole idea was to attack with quick shifts. The fundamentals of play were neg lected In an effort to score. The result was never in doubt. Penn's elevens, coached in offense only and lacking the ability to charge and tackle, crumbled before most oppo nents. It Is claimed that Helsman has profited by the lessons of these years, but whether he can think and work along different lines than his Canadian players. The two contestants have played each other four times. The Macleays won the first two games, but dropped the next two. Each team has scored five goals on its opponent. Donald Harris will referee and Edward Mitchleson will be head linesman. H. H. Langford, president of the league, will assist the ref eree. Should there be a tie at the end of the regular playing time, the elevens will play an extra half hour. RAY'JS $100 GIVEN Ineligibility Depends on Whether ' Payment Is Accepted. CHICAGO, Dec. 30. Joie Ray, dis tance runner for the Illinois Athletic club, suspended from amateur com petition because of an excessive ex pense account, must pay a ?100 fine by midnight tomorrow to escape danger of being forever barred from amateur athletics. A check for that amount has been sent to the National Amateur Ath letic union officers at New York by the Illinois Athletic club, but whether it will be accepted was not known here today.

NEW YORK, Dec 30-The first note in international tennis play for 1923 was sounded today in announce ment by the United States Lawn Tennis association that Ichlya Ku magae and Seeichiro Kaehio, Japa nese stars who have gained fame in this country In past seasons, will return soon to prepare for the com ing season on American courts. Several younger Japanese players of promise will . accompany Kuma- gae and Kashio and play in most of the important tournaments to gain experience which is expected to fit them eventually for Davis cup competition. Merchandise Shoot to Be Held. ROSEBURG, Or., Dec. 30. (Spe cial.) A merchandise shoot will be held January 14 by the Roseburg Rod and Gun club. This new or ganization has been holding weekly shoots and much interest is being shown. Turkey shoots drew marks men from many points in this part of the state and some high scores were made. Although the club has been organized only a short time, it already has a large membership. Rainier Beats Benson Tech. RAINIER, Or, Dec. 30. (Special.) Rainier basketball team last night defeated Benson Polytechnic school of Portland by a score of 34 to 23. Holloway was the star for Rainier. Rainier players are all seasoned men and do splendid team-work. They contemplate a trip through the Willamette valley later in the season. whole football experience taught him to do is doubtful. has Balancing offense and defense Is the chief problem of football. It is a fact that both cannot be de veloped to a high point at the open ing of a season. One must be sacri ficed temporarily while the other is perfected. Eastern teams attempt easy schedules for the first few games in order to get by with de fense. That accomplished, the stress is placed on attack and all effort concentrated to that end. Harvard In early October Is not the Harvard which strikes Yale and Princeton In November. The former is a de fensive team. The latter Is, in ad dition, an attacking team. The coach has his choice at the beginning of each season. But that team which piles up large scores in early October is not always the winner in the November classics. Ind-eed, the eleven which comes more slowly and is soundly schooled in fundamental football and defense Is likely to strike its stride at the right time when the big games are played. .' Great football teams, those which go in fine style all through a sea son, are composed of players who are brainy and who have had much experience in former years under the same coach. Such teams get into their stride early. They have a defense to start with and can be gin work early on attack. This is because the principles of defense are somewhat simple. It is mostly a matter of aggressiveness and quick thinking. The player who has had experience knows what to do and how to do it and how to change and tackle. He is soon ready for of fensive instruction and can quickly be co-ordinated with his fellow players Into the machine. Offen sive football is machine-like almost entirely. Each man has a part to play and must play it and then add a bit more to bring about the final punch victory. Every squad presents its own problems, to be sure. But the main Idea Is to strike the proper balance between defense and offense as early as possible. Ample veteran material permits this to be done at far earlier stage than does new mate rial, no matter how skilled In play. his eleven Eastern Cities Drop Out of Grand Circuit. SEASON TO BEGIN SOON Programme to Be Opened Second Week in January With Big Meeting In Toledo. LOUISVILLE, Ky.. Dec. 30. (Spe cial.) Within a month the racing associations will be busy selecting dates and announcing race pro grammes for 1923. The grand cir cuit will lead off with a meeting at Toledo the second week in January. At this conclave the dates will be fixed and an effort made to patch up the eastern end of the circuit. At present ' it is rather weak, as both Philadelphia and Poughkeep sie have decided to drop out,, while C. W. Leonard has stated that he will not finance another meeting at Readville. If the horsemen in Boston and vi cinity put their shoulders to the wheel they cankeep up their end. Goshen is also talked of as a stop ping place for a week. If others cannot be found to nil the open dates the inaugural meeting will have to be moved back from the first week in July to the third or fourth, where It was before each of the Ohio tracks asked for two meet ings. For the first time in years the mile tracks can announce a free- for-all trot and get plenty of racing material to All it. As Nedda will not be started in competition and there is nothing in the light harness bri gade to race with Peter Manning, the horses eligible, to classes of 2:05 or better present an array of racing material that never has been dupli cated. Good Hones Ont. Any grand circuit track -can afford to offer a $5000 or even a $10,000 event for such horses as Lee Worthy, Peter the Brewer, Czar Worthy, the Great Volo, Grayworthy, Peter Earl, Great Brltton, Bill Sharen, Escotillo and the Great Rose. Periscope and Jeanette Rankin can also be added, even If their time allowance makes them eligible to the 2:06 class In 1923, while It Is never advisable to overlook E. Colorado, even if he can start off as a 2:07 trotter next year. Lee Worthy and Peter Earl cannot fail to prove important factors In the 1923 campaign. The speed which both of them showed in the futuri ties was as fast as trotters go and both of them will be raced. Czar Worthy, Peter the Brewer and Great Brltton are a formidable trio. Mur phy considered Czar Worthy a sec ond Peter Manning. While he did well in the fastest company he only showed his true form, in two races at Columbus and In the $10,000 event at Syracuse. Brewer Great Card. Peter the Brewer Is what the plain every-day folk call a good horse. Like Grayworthy he won the Char ter Oak purse and the Transylvania. If the pair ever meet there will be a track full of people to see them. Both of them have marks below 2:03 and both of them acted as If they could go faster than the tab that was handed them by the timers. The Great Volo's flight of speed in the Walnut Hall cup gave him a free-for-all rating, while the man ner in which Great Brltton handled his fields until he reached Lexing ton placed him in the first flight of trotters. In her first two races the Great Rose looked like a star. Sick ness put her on the sideline for a few weeks, but she never recovered her July form. The Orange county circuit will duplicate its 1922 offering next year. It is also reported that one or two towns are considering joining Endl cott, Monroe, Goshen and Middle town, la 1909, when Rensselaer Weston revitalized the Goshen meet ings. It Is very doubtful if he ever dreamed of the revival of racing In that locality on the present scale. He lived to see Monroe and Middle- town get into line, but he never thought that there was a chance of the mile course near the village competing for racing honors with the "historic track." Circuit Pays Well. The tenth series of the Bay State circuit promises to be almost a duplicate of the one which preceded it Since It was organized in 1914 this circuit has paid out $553,275 at 96 meetings and is going strong. Scouts are now scouring the coun try to find racing material to dupli cate the showing of Iskander, Colonel Bldwell, Binworth, John R. Hall, Trumpet, James Albert, Mary O'Connor, Dan Hedgewood and oth era which led their fields on the trip from Combination park to the clos ing dates in August at either Woon- socket or Norwich. During the past few seasons Maine and the maritime provinces have become an important factor in supplying a superior brand of sum mer racing. The Aroostook and New Brunswick tracks keep the horses busy from the last week in June until the fairs attract the attention of those who control racing mate rial. With John R. Braden, Roy Grattan and Jackson Grattan as free-for-all stars the track man agers were always sure of an over flow attendance when these battlers met. No one ever saw a better series of races than were put up by them. With Dan Hedgewood and another possible starter added the down easters will have a free-for-all each week that will not only keep the grandstand buzzing, but also bring in many a dollar at the gate. Ohio Tracks Good. The Ohio half-mile tracks sup plied a good brand of racing in 1922. This will be duplicated next season by the members of the Lake Erie and Ohio circuit. They keep the sulky wheels humming until the Ohio fair circuit gets under way in August. The most peculiar feature in con nection with the outlook for 1923 is the dearth of known fast material for the classes on the mile tracks from 2:10 up. Last winter the woods were full of highly tried trotters. This winter Bunter is the fastest and best nfannered in sight. In his futurity engagements this Belwin colt showed that he could trot in 2:04. Aside from him, Taurlda, Elea nor Guy, Eleanor Worthy, Worthy Son, Peter Pf aff, Silvie Brooke, Edith Worthy and Bisa Dillon look like the best They are not all, however, as If Belle-at-Law will do for the mile tracks there should be an open ing somewhere on the big line for the horses that have been battling with Alliewood the Great.
