. Earl Miebu and Walter Knowlton,
two of th best bozera wearinr the
; colors of tbe Multnomah Amateur Atn
letle club, are contemplating; entering
- the ranks of professional fighters,, ac
cording to a story from Los Angeles.
Mlebus hold the middle light heav-
. and heavyweight Pacific coast ama
teur titles and Knowlton Is the Paclfio
coast 13S pound champion.
Mlebus has .been on the verge of
' Jumping out of the amateur ranks for
- a couple of years. He has defeated
practically every heavyweight boxer
; In the northwest, losing Only to Larry
'Madden, the bin 200 pounder of the
Police Athletic club. Mlebus Is a
blacksmith by trade and Is a rugged
: fellow and a good boxer. :
Knowlton, who Is a fire fighter as
well as a boxer, can right now defeat
any second rate lightweight on the Pa---clfic
coast. This Is the opinion of
Tommy Tracey, the Multnomah boxing
teacher. Knowlton has been boxing
, for about six. years. He is a hard
hitter and can take a lot of punish
ment. 1
. Tommy Tracey. at their request. It
is said, has written a letter to DeWut
VanCourt, the Los Angeles boxing
pert, asking ii t'ser is nny chance of
Mlcbu- or Knowlton ev?uring a :na;ch
In tliat section- ; Thy are will lg to
v go against anyone in the middleweight
or lightweight classes.
Just how soon these two boxers will
turn professional is not known. Both
are lovers of the boxing game and it is
'. certain that they will not desert the
- amateur ranks unless they are certain
of a number of professional engage
ments In the near future,
Van Court pays this tribute to the
- local jlnstructor:
"As for Tommy Tracey. I will say
h is one of the greatest welter
' weights that ever came over from
Australia. I have seen him fight many
.. times and there was no welter in this
country that "bad anything on him.
But he was, unfortunately, a light
welterweight, and was compelled to
'meet heavy welters and middleweights.
"He met Kid Lavlgne in the old
.'. Woodward's pavilion some years ago.
and the oldtlmer, Jim McDonald,
refereed the contest He gave the
decision to Lavlgne, much to the sur
prise of every one in the hall, an I
after the fight Tommy went into the
Kid's dressing room and said: Tou
know. Kid, I beat you.' The Kid
r said: Tommy, I was not the referee,
so; you must not blame me for being
given the decision.' This was the
way the oldtimere did things. They
shook hands and parted as good
friends as. they ever were. Ask
; Tommy what he thinks of Kid La
vlgne if you dbubt what I say.
'Tommy Tracey's Judgment Is worth

CUBAN BALL TOSSERS
10 WON PENNANT
PLAY BEFORE BIG COIN'
Long Branch Team Won the
Flag and Ten Men Play
Every One of 120 Games,
New York, Jan. 9. Having swelled
up so often and allowed as how base
ball Is the great American game, it
might be expected that something
would come along and gently ease over
the intimation that a few other na
tionalities In this broad universe ara
picking up batting, pitching and base
running. Down Jersey way they have
a team made up entirely of Cubans,
and, whether yoq believe it; or not. It
is on the records that the Long Branch
team of the New Jersey-New Tone
league won the pennant. The Long
Branch aggregation happens to be an
all-Cuban cast, so there you be.
We are all more or less acquainted
- "
?Ith on Senor Marsans, outfielder for
the Cincinnati Red!, who is one of the
leading exponents of the game as it
is did in Cuba and Cincinnati. Lone
Branch, however, is an incubator f jr
Cuban baseball players for this coun
try. Four members of this team were
sold to Boston last fall. Next yea-
there will be a new crop for the major i
league scouts to look over. Manes, a
pitcher, who will perform during the
next heated period is said to be a rine-
dtnger. The Long Branch manase
ment has already been offered $3009
for him, but the offer was refused.
After dangling before the eyes of tho
majors for a few months next year
more money will probably be offered.
Dick Henriquez, captain and mana
ger of the Long Branch team, goes to
Cuba every winter now. He : looks
'em over on the Island while Long
Branch is closed up and the summer
resorters are hugging radiators. Then
he bobs up in the spring with a new
bunch of senors who wallop the pill
all over the lot. Netx year Henriquez
expects to arrange a series oQ pre
season games with several of the
major league teams. His :Cubans will
report from the island ready for busi
ness, as they have done their "spring
training" around Havana; Fifteen
new players are to h wrought up from
Cuba next spring, which augurs much
business of looking things over by big
league scouts.
One thing about these Cuban play
ers that is not found in the average
American of the league ; teams Js
ability and willingness to play peveral
different positions. During the last
season 10 men. including pitchers and
catchers on the Long Branch team,
played every game of the 120 in the
league schedule. They shifted around
and played different positions. When
a pitcher wasn't working In the box he
would take a place in tle outfield.
Long Branch won the pennant by a
margin of 22 games.
This Long Branch team probably
has the distinction of playing ball be
fore more money than any other team
In the country, considering the size of
the crowds it draws. One day last
summer fortunes) estimated at J90C,
000,000 were represented in the boxes
Long Branch being a summer resort,
draws much money. . The Guggen

A FIGHTER FIGHTS

E
Cheese Merchant Won $6500
With Crack Horse, Wal
ter Cochato,
It is not often that a $90 horse is
able to go forth and battle with the
very best of the grand circuit brigade,
and it is not customary for a country
merchant to campaign the fastest pac
er In the 2:05 class. The records for
the racing season just closed, however,
prove that to the lot of a cheap horse
and a country owner have come the
honor of heading the list of money
winners in the 2:05 class, and the big
stables are now casting a longing eye
in the direction of Converse. Ind., and
wondering how it happened.
When William Maple, a cheese mer
chant and huckster of Converse, bid
$90 for a tall, long-legged and rather
coarse black colt at the last sale held
by Daugherty brothers In Wabash,
Ind.. three years ago he bullded bet
ter taan he knew. Few men about the
sale ring considered the colt worth a
season's training, but Mr. Maple did
not regret his purchase when the fol
lowing spring the colt under the name
of Walter Cochato took a record of
2:17 as a 3-year-old over the half
mile track at Ru8siaville, Ind.
Now the name of Walter Cochato Is
known from one end of the grand cir
cuit to the other. Opposite the name
stands a record of 2:04 M, and the sta
tistics for the last racing season show
that Walter Cochato won for his huck
ster owner $6500. the largest amount
credited to any pacer in the 2:05 class.
While the campaign and the turf his
tory of Walter Cochato are known to
many followers of the grand circuit,
but few know of the debut of this
noted star.
The son of Cochato (2:17) and
Kitty Burgess, by Patchen Wilkes,
was foaled in Franklin county, Ken
tucky, seven miles from Frankfort, on
the farm of W. H. and W. J. Lewis,
prominent breeders of trotters. The
black colt grew so rapidly that he was
nojf highly regarded by his breeders
and he was picked up at a small price
when representatives of the Daugherty
Brothers were in Kentucky.

PAST TWELVEMONTH
Freddie Welsh Won More
Battles Than Any Other
Carpentier Won Air Bouts,
A complete record of the battles of
prominent fighters for the past year,
just compiled, shows Battling' Levin
sky, the New York light-heavyweight,
as the busiest person In the American
ring. Dan Morgan's hope has engaged
m 28 fights during 1913, winning 8,
losing none and taking part In 18 no
decision bouts. Jack Dillon, middle
weight, is the second best scrapper,
with 22 fights, 7 of them victories, to
his credit. He fought 14 no decision
goes and one draw.
Freddie Welsh, the English light
weight champ, won more battles than
any other fighter. He copped 12 out
of 1& contests, the other three being
no i decision fights. Carpentier, the
French heavyweight conqueror, and
Gunboat Smith are next In number of
wias, both annexing 10 victories, the
former out of 10 and the latter out of
lLJfights, Smith fought one no de
cision. Neither lost a battle,
Juck Johnson was the most idle
scrapper In the list, taking part in
just one contest, which was a draw.
Willie Ritchie, the peer of the light
weight ranks, also waa conspicuous
by the small number ef battles he
engaged in. as he risked his title but
twice during the whole year. He vir
tually won them both, as the no de
cision go In New York was his by
mile.
The great number of no decision
goes were largely fought in New York.
Levinsky would undoubtedly have J
larger number of victories to his cred
t had a decision been given in all
of his fights.

A Donovan, the veteran boxing 4
Instructor of the New York
Athletic club, is a great ad-
, mlrer of Bob McAllister, the 4
San Francisco middleweight.
o McAllister is scheduled to meet A
Mike Gibbons of St. Paul In -a 4
bout here soon.
e "McAllister is every bit- as
clever as Jim Corbet t was when
e he beat John L. Sullivan in
New Orleans In 1892." said
a Donovan. "He Is the best boxer
today In either the middle- 4
weight or heavyweight classes, 4

Tacoma, Jan. 9. Two big league
bavseball players were made offers today
by the new Federal league to Jump or
ganized baseball for the 1914 season.
They are Jacques Fournier. slugger of
the Chicago White Sox. who makes his
home in Tacoma. and Ham Hyatt of
Shelton, slugging pinch hitter of the
Pittsburg Pirates.
Fournier has an offer from the Chi
cago club in the outlaw league. Mana
ger Joe Tinker evidently preparing to
put on an all-star team. Whether or
not Fournier will go with the Federals
he would not say today, but Intimated
that if his contract with Comlskey for
this season is not satisfactory he will
Join the Federals.
"The fact that the national commis
sion has acceded to the requests of the
players has done much toward mend
ing the breach," said Fournier. "I am
a member of the fraternity, and be
lieve that in the course of time it will
be an organization which will do much
to ameliorate the conditions of the
players. If the big leagues will now
remove the reserve clause from con
tracts, I believe that all further trou
ble will be eliminated."
Hyatt has received offers from two
Federal league clubs, but declined to
say whether ornot he would Jump.

I would not be a bit surprised if
Lober did not go to the Cleveland
club this year." said Manager Walter
McCredle this morning, "for I have
had no further Information along that
line from President Somers, of the
Naps.
"There is one thing sure. If Lober
goes to the Naps I must have Buddy
Ryan for the Beavers. I guess they
are having a hard time getting Buddv
away from Toledo. Tliere are few of
the American association clubs that
would want to waive on him. If
Cleveland takes him hack .thev will
have to take him to spring training
and then get waivers all ovr neain
It begins to look as if Bud will not
be out here next summer, much as he
would like to play with Portland, and
I would like to have him with us.
"There Is one thing certain. 1 won't
let Lober go until I get a clean-up man
to replace htm." 41

G0LFTo Play or Not to Play-S$mies
If you are asked, as frequently hap-;
pens In these degenerate days, by s
player to whom you are giving strokes
whether you mind not playing
stymies, a plsn we have found effec
tive, is to ask aim how many strokes
he proposes to allow off his handicap
if stymies are barred, says a London
newspaper. He will probably ask
what you mean, when you can point
out to him that, as the better player,
you are leBs likely to lay yourself
a stymie than he is, and more likely
to negotiate one if it occurs, and that
as the handicap has been framed on
the "all In" basis, not to play stymies
is to his advantage.
"I would venture to give It as my
opinion that no match has ever been
lost entirely by the stymie rule. Tru
you did not manage to screw around the
opponent's ball from a range of six
feet at the eighteenth hole, but what,
my good friend, about the two-foot
putt you missed at the second, when
t?iere wa no excuse and a fair flelJ?
We had better keep our old foe. the
stymie, for if we kill him we shall
rob ourselves of many a nice looking
excuse."
The above excellent observation was
recalled to memory the other day by
a player who informed us that it was
no wonder he was beaten in tne final
of some tournament or other since
he had no fewer than six of tese
something stymies in the course of

King of Roumania IsNll.
Bucharest. Roumania, Jan. 9. King
Carlos' was suffering from a severe
Cold today. Owing tcj his age. consid
erable uneasiness wai felt concerning
him. 1
one round. A course of judicious ex
amination elicited the fact that he
had laid three of She. stymies for
himself, and that oit of the whole
six there waa only $ne In which his
own ball was lying iiess than a yard
from the hole. Thai others were nil
distances up to six did 12 or 14 feet.
We then asked hlm.fas geptly as wo
couia. it he thought- that he wouM
have holed all these, putts if tliem
had been no stymie, and left him cal
culating the probable, actual effect of
the stymies plus Irtsfjown bad rl' on
the result of the math.
There Is another rhing that mut
often have recurred jto tne really re
flective mind about Mymies. A player
is stymie within a yitd or two feet of
the hole. He "hegottaljes" the shot suc
cessfully and wins oV halves the hoje
rrJd the plaudits of .the gallery. But
putts of a yard or , two feet are by
no means dead, even when entirely
unobstructed by the opponent's ball.
Our best professionals missed a great
many In tae latesU big professional
tournament, and It ir quite possible
Bay a 6 to 1 chance that had there
been no stymie the'jjputt would have
been missed. For at'one knows, owing
to some unseen Inequality in 'the
ground, the lofting! or round-about
method of playing. Jhe stroke forced
upon the player may have been tho
safest, and perhaps fhe only way of
holding the ball. I
