Thirteen." the official Jinx number
of the athletio world, played a prom
inent part In the election-of a captain
of the 1915 football team of the
Multnomah Amateur Athletic club.
Thirteen gridlroners. were present at
the meeting, which was called to order
at 13 minutes past 11 o'clock yesterday
morning. t
Thirteen ballots were passed out to
the 13 playersXand 13 pencils were
taken out of is pockets. Thirteen
ballots were placed In a hat One man
counted the 13 votes, ut before the
result was given out, Clyde (Red)
Rupert, who used to wear badgeV2 of
tne Portland poliee force, and whoNal
ways wears number 13 in games where
the teams are numbered, counted the
noses in the . room and then smiled.
Rupert was sure that his "Jinx" would
not desert him, and as a result he was
named leader for the coming season.
The result of the count of the 13 votes
was, Rupert, 9; O'Rourke, 3, and Phil
brook, .1.
The new captain of the "Winged
M" footballers has been playing the
game for some IS years and for five
seasons he has been a member of the
club team. During the past season he
played the quarterback position, and
despite the 200 pounds of weight that
he carries, he showed up Just as well
as he did when he was - playing with
the Albany college team . In the early
part of last decade
Rupert is very popular .with the
players and will make an Ideal leader
for them next season. The cfeib play
ers, who have made a record unpar
alfeled in the club gridiron ranks in the
world, are anxious to win the cham
pionship of the Pacific coast at the
Panama-Pacific exposition next year.
The prospects for a winning team
next year are very good. Practically
every member of the 1914 team "will
turn out next fall, and it is expected
that a number of new stars will join
the club eleven.
Rupert announced yesterday, after
his election as captain, that instead tf
depending on line smashing for their
victories the team would adopt the
open style of play.

By Hal Sheridan. i
New Tork, Deo. 21.- Bob Edgren,
sporting editor of the New York Eve

snd Battling Johnson, In their recent
10 round bout here, "gave New York
the best imitation of a- fake eyr
slipped to the palpitating populace of
this burg at from 31 to $7 a seat.
"At the Very start of hostilities
or alleged i hostilities.' Edgren said,
"Promoter Billy Gibson nodded at me
and winked, which I took to mean,
'Watch McVey. Billy sat with his chin
resting on the edge of the ring and an
expression of pleased anticipation ; on
his face, like that of a cat viewing- a
large dish of cream.
"When the bell rang McVey was
smiling pleasantly. Suddenly he shot
out. his left hand and flicked the glove
against Johnson's right eye.' Then
Johnson rushed into a clinch, and plac
ing the heel of his left glove roughly
under McVey's chin, tilted bis head
back and shoved hira away. As John
sorf repeated this little performance In
every clinch, some few spectators
thought at first that he was very much
annoyed with Mr. McVey. He also
whanged at McVey's side, using the
barred 'kidney punch.' stamped on the
floor. - scowled and looked 'altogether
too ferocious to be natural It's my
guess that he was 'doing It for the
pictures.' -i
"Round after' round went by m much
the same manner and the crowd hooted
and hissed and finally began to sing
derisively and asked the management
to 'take off the preliminaries end put
on a fight:' McVey was evidently not
trying and Johnson was JUttle better.
"But In the sixth, McVey. stung by
a wild wallop that Johnson. In an un
guarded moment, slipped into his ribs,
suddenly began to fight.' Ha lammed
the huge Battler around the ring, land
ing smashing lefts and crashing rights
with absolute accuracy, every blow
going in like a bullet and hitting
squarely on the mark, . In spite of his
bombproof jaw, Johnson tottered, came
back strong with a a wad el of wild
ewlngs, threw McVey nearly through
the ropes and tottered again. Then
McVey let up.
"From that time until the end of
the tenth there was no action at all.
The only interesting thing was Bijly
Gibson's face. Ha was peering up Into
the ring at "McVey in bewilderment,
unbelief and something like disgust.
