McElroy, managing director of the King County alr association, which controls local facing. Is preparing to leave shortly for- California a,nd the east, where he A ill Investigate the system of betting "at Emeryville and in New Tork,' with a view to holding . a race meet at the Meadows track near Seattle next sum- "If Emeryville can conduct racing successfully and In compliance with the taw, the Meadows has a chance to do the same," said McElroy. " While not entirely familiar with the systems of betting in vogue elsewhere, McElroy believes that In their essential features they are similar to the Hanson law, enacted at the last regular session of the Washington state legislature. No attempt will be made, McElroy says, to race In violation of the law, and it is on this point that he Is preparing to in form himself fully before taking any definite step. 1 7 M I V Tou ean take It from me," remarked Tommy Tracey the other day In com menting on the Attell-Ca'rroll boxing ex htbltlon, "that Monte Attell would not last two rounds with a fellow liko Jimmy Barrt For a champion I never saw such aoxer as Monte, and If he carries on In all his fights as he did last week, then it la an indication that the present day boxers are not In a class with the boys of a decade ago. Now I'm not grumbling that there were no fellows like the old fellows, Sot theVe are Just as good now aa there ever were. What surprised me most was Attell's lack of footwork. He gets around over the floor like an Ice wagon and he has set himself to bit. He didn't 1m press me witn having tne puncn i champion ought to have. "When I say Barry could beat him In two punches I think I know what am talking about. I don't believe that Attell could lay a glove on Barry, while Barry would simply slaughter him. Bar ry could hit from any position, just as Bam Langford can do today, and he had the kick of the proverbial mule In either hand. His footwork was great and against a slow going fellow as At tell proved himself, would have bewil dered the Hebrew boy. "Really, I don't .think the two can be compared, even though Attell today outweighs what Jimmy did when he was In his prime." Bob Fitisimmons, who has made his last appearance in ring. When Bob was in his prime he could have beaten a dozen Bill Longs in a night. . WRIGHTS SCORE OVER , CURTISS AEROPLANES (United Press Leased Wire.) Buffalo, N. Y., Jan. 6. Aa aoon aa the order of the court la entered In the recorda Glenn Curtlss will be prohib ited from using an air crsft of the pattern against the use of which the Wright brothers recently secured an In junction. The prohibition against Curtlss is said to be individual, and will In no way affect other aviators using aero, planes 'of the, Wright design.

AMERICANS PASS UP fTALY AND GERMANY Ths flat racing season In Italy has come to a close with Sir Rholand at the head of the winning owners with nearly ffO.OOO to his credit The Basnste stsble was second with about $50,000 in winnings, M. T. Teslo is third with fJJ.OOO. . The closing season on the German turf shows the Imperial Stud at the head of the winners with nearly $200, 000. While there are American Jockles on every turf and race track; In the world, there are comparatively no American owners In either Italy or Ger many. , Frankton Girls Are Winners. ' 8pecliil Mantled to Th Journal. I Hood Itlver, Or., Jan. 8. The Hood River girl's basketball team played a match game last night at the Orange Park hall with the high school team from Frankton. The. gams was hotly contested at every point and the score shifted from one side to ths other un til It stood IS to 15 in favor of ths Frankton team when the gong sounded for them. Those Easterners " ars after Eddie OfConnell again- and some really high class wrestling wilt be seen soon If ths Multnomah Instructor pays heed to the challenge of Gus Anderson, ths famous Des Moines, Iowa, grappler. Anderson la out with a challenge to any 168 pound wrestler In the country for a side bet and burls his deft particularly at O'Connell, who bss many times aa. nounced himself ready to tackle any man in the world under lei pounds. ' ' Anderson has had a wonderfully suc cessful career In ths east and is anxi ous to visit ths coast In order to dem onstrate his ability. He has a couple or matches in Utah early this month and will probably meet Tokel, ths only fellow that has thrown O'Connell In the west Anderson has met and defeated such wrestlers as Clarence Bouldln, the Cuban wonder; Walter WUloughby of Buffalo; Ed Ada meson, the famous Chi CAgoan, and a score of other squally high classed men. Would Bather Meet Tenable, O'Connull would rather take a chanoe with Virgil Venable, the Seattle wrest ler who' defeated Peter Busukus ths other night, than- tackle Anderson's game, admitting aa much. Hs says he thinks Venable is after soma cheap ad vertising and doesn't mean . business with his challenge, to meet ths Multno mah' man In a straight match at 140 pounds ringside. O'Connell says he will cover any- sue side bet that Venable puts up and agrees to post twice the slss of the side bet that hs will make 140 pounds ringside, as Virgil de mands. O'Connell admits that hs has grown heavier during the last year and that he will have some troubls maklng40 pounds to meet Venable. For that rea son he wants a good slsed Mde bet for the trouble hs has to go to tp make ths weight. If the pair are ever brought to gether to sign articles O'Connell will doubtless insist that It be set far enough away so that hs can get down to the required weight without weak ening himself too much. He weighs about 165 pounds now and taking off 15 pounds Is no easy task. . Venable has a lot of friends in Port land who concede him an excellent chance against O'Connell at the weight he names and the match ought tp prove good one from the box office stand point. Curtiss in Los Angeles. Los Angeles, Jan. 6. Glenn H. Cur tlss, holder of the world's aeroplane reoords for dlstanoe and speedy arrived here early today over the Santa Fo direct from New Tork to. take part la the aviation contests hers next week.

He plans on holding the tournament next May or June, nrob ably in connection with the annual Rose Festival. If it is so desired by ths fes tival committee. v Cavill has had wonderful success with the Multnomah swimmers, and ths club will no doubt give full sanation to his tournament plans. Those who ' havs been broached on ths subject are ea- thusisstlo over It and will lend both moral and financial aid to the scheme. Several races will be put on,' varying from 100 yards to a mils. Charley Dan iels, ths world's short distance cham pion, and H. J. Handy, the famous Chi cago dlatancer, will be among others who will be Invited.
