Sanctioned by President Sullivan, tha
Multnomah man baa act out to do
seemingly stupendous Job.. His first
object will be to ouat William M. In
glls, paid euperintendent of the Seattle
Athletlo club, from the position of sec
retary and chairman of the regiatra-
xion commiuee oi (ne pacino jorin
weet association. With the aid of the
director of the P. N. A., who favor
amateurism in all athletlo relatione,
Morgan does not anticipate nard work.
It le believed that Inglls will are the
falsity of his position and immediately
tender his resignation when the matter
la put up to him. However, the dl rec
to re nave the wnip nana and n ne
doea not succumb to a little talk ha
will be summarily thrown out
Inglla may think .that since he was
lectea. even tnougn it wae irregular) y
done, he atlll controls enough votes to
retain tne ornce ana win nave nis
friends come to his rescue. In that
event the pe refit organisation will step
in, 'take complete charge of affalra,
thoroughly - reorganise the association
and blacklist the professionals and the
ciuDa wnicn winx at protessionai metn
ods. This much haa been threatened
by the man in charge of affaires le
smateur in the United States and he
la a man of bis word.
V'"Suinvad Zs Znosassd.
Sullivan la particularly Incensed over
the . manner In which Inglla secured
Iiractical control of amateur athletic
n this district By exercising the use
of proxies In direct violation of the
laws of the A. A. U., he went Into the
meeting oz tne delegates and was elect
ed to tne two positions he now holds,

There are at least a dosen chargea
that can be made againat Inglis and
the most prominent are with , relation
to club boxing matches. Should the
same condition continue-much longer
under Inglls' sanction, amateur boxing
and wrestling bouta will fall into dis
repute. It is a notorious fact that box
era and wrestlers have been Imported
by the Spokane and Seattle Athletlo
clubs to unhold tha "honor" of clubs.
Just as soon as the profeaalonal ap
peared in the ring and there are tew
I who deny thaf aome of the entries

commenced to arise. , Spokane reports
contained accounts of a disgraceful
scene enacted in the SDOkane Athletic

leged professionals are said to have

State University Consents to

test for One Year.
"(Special Slspeteh te The JoorsaL)
University of Oregon, Eugene, Jan. 18.
The athletic council today decided to
accept the proposition of the Oregon
Agricultural college- to play the annual
football gam In Portland this fall. Af
ter that Oregon will Insist thst ths
games b played on the campua of each
college. The 1109 gam will b played
In ttugane. ., . ,
Portland follower of th great col
lege gam will be-glad to learn of th
decision of th University of Oregon
athletlo council to consent to a game
on th local checkerboard, uregon Agri
cultural college and University of Ore-
fon are the two largest Institutions in
he state and it is fitting that the
rams should b played in the metropo
lis, which Is within easy distance of
each college town.
Th first gam will be entirely an
experiment Oregon stipulates In the
agreement that the gams the following
Sear must be played in Kugene, out
tils is probably to safeguard the uni
versity's interest in the event that the
game doea not prov th attraction It
ahould be.
However, football paid well in Port
land laat season, collegiate, club and
acholaatio team making good money.
Oregon cleared about 11,000 on the
game with the Untveralty of Idaho, the
city school league team in th aggre
gate made about $500 off tha season,
atid the Multnomah club cleared over
IS, 000 on Its gamea and grounds.
From a financial standpoint the game
should prove a success, but money does
not always enter into collegiate ath
letics. The campus gam arouses col
lege spirit as no other means can. and
the varsity's argument in favor of the
retention of the former plan was a
good one.
Now that tne Orea-on-Corvallls a-ame

Early next month work will bo started
on som much needed Improvements on
tha coast league baseball grounds at
Twenty-fourth and Vaughn streets, and
tha fans who patronize the summer
games will heave a sigh tf relief when
they attend tha opening gam. It is
reported th grandstand will be im
proved and tb left field bleachers ex
tended to tha fence, providing seats for
S00 more fans. The field will be put
in good condition for the early games
of the season.
It Is also reported that the McCredies
hav disposed of John Hlgglns, th ro
tund ground keeper of the last two
years, and th&t Hua-h MeCredia. a
nephew of the judge, will have charge
of the grounds. It is to be hoped that

predecessor, for the Portland field was
said to be the poorest In the circuit last
year, the outfield being especially bad.
However, with the Improvements
planned for. the rrounds should take
Ion an improved aspect altogether.
