Th. real world's record- for- overtime
Is claimed by the Victoria and New
Westminster teams. The game was
. played in 1912, the second year of hockey
- on the coast, and the two teams bat
tled for IT minutes overtime, beating
the record at Seattle by over 17 mln-
' utes. ' With both clubs weakeaing under
- the strain, Victoria managed to sag the
, ,Tnet and won the contest by a 1 to 0
'count. .
Muldoon says that with any kind of
luck, Portland would have won the
rflme" In the last half minute of the
regular period. Charley Tobin skated
down the Ice with . the puck, "duked
. Ooalle Fowler and shot the ball at the
. other side of the net. It missed going
y "into. 'the jnut by two inches, according
to Tobin and . Fowler. Fowler played
. a wonderful game at1 goal, stopping
' shots from every conceivable direction.
' Muldoon says all of his fine plans
. went awry. First he got his men away
from here Monday night, figuring on
getting into Seattle ty 7 :3tf a. m. They
got in at 12 :30. There was no diner
on the train and when they reached

W. McCredie Has Jinx Down
K t K
Auto Trip Starts a Shebang
Walter Hennery McCredie, new ,
manager of the Salt Lake club, is
lucky to be back in Portland with
his life, let alone a new suit of das
sling blue tint and the latest in
scarfs.
This trip away from Portland has
been rather a Jonah for Walt. First,
along with the judge, he was kicked
out of the Pacific Coast league, and
then began a suacesston of events
that finally landed him safe of body
and reasonably sound of mind in
Portland. He will leave shortly for
Salt Lake and believes that he has
given the jinx the slip.
-It all started in Los Angeles. J. C.
Furness, who runs the Continental
hotels in San Francisco and Los
Angeles, .at which the Portland ball
club stopped, invited Mack to make
an auto trip with him from Los
Angeles to San Francisco. Sure
Mack would until he saw two of
the fellows who were to make up
tke party of four.
Slipping Lightly Away
Hunting up Furness, McCredie,
who doesn't admit that he is super
stitious, said : "Now listen - here,
Furn, I'm not a bit strong on this
superstition bunk, but did you no
tice those two fellows you invited
to go along are cross-eyed? I don't
want to break up the party, but I
think you better get somebody else.
I don't - mind being out with one
cock-eyed guy, but when you got a
pair of them with lamps looking
for trouble, then you better count
me out." '
Furness, who Is the most sus
picious fellow in San Francisco,
when the Jinx goes a-roamln, trem
bled sljghtly and remarked :
Yankee Manager in Conference
New -'Fork, Jan. 3. (I. N. S.) Miller
Huggins. manager of the Yankees, was
expected to arrive here today to confer
with President Jacob Ruppert regarding

his recent dickerlngs for Derrill
of the St Louis Browns. The Yankees
have not vet riven no hone of landinar
the Browns' second sacker and may
make a new offer for hira.

"What can I do, Mac? They're
both good friends of mine and
they're banking on this trip. Well.
I'll tempt fate just this once, and if"
I ever get over the Tehachapi alive,
I'll give the next list of guests
the 00." .
What BYe Think o' This!
When Mac saw Furness a week
later in San Francisco, the hotel
man exclaimed : "Can you beat it?
Here I am fighting the jinx and
thinking I'm getting by nicely, when
all of a sudden my new Stutz and
a big oil tank conclude to mix on a
mountain road. Well, you know
who finished second. .It cost me a
good $700 to get my car fixed, and
all because I was courteous to a
span of bum lamps."
Well, that same week when Mac
was complimenting himself on -passing
up the goggle-eyed special, he
crossed Market street and got him
self all messed up by an automo
bile and, as Ring Lardner said, he
mentioned the name of the vehicle
r(ght out loud. Had It been any
other kind of a machine Mac might
not be managing the Salt Lake
Bees.
Then on the way home, McCre
die and two other late-to-bed per
sons were sitting on the observa
tion car when & freight train
sneaked up and swatted the rear
coach an awful wallop on the cou
pling pin. If the freight "bullglne"
had had 20 cars behind it instead of
only six, says Mac it would have
gone right on through and shaken
hands with the passenger locomo
tive. Anyhow, Mac Is here and glad to
get baclo, if only for a few days.

tor does not make him exempt.
San Francisco, Jan. 8. (I. N. S.) The
name of Gerhardt A. Stef fen was placed
in class one, the first to be called to the
front, by the draft board here today
and If that does not interest you per
haps the fact that Gerhardt A. Steffen
Is none other than Willie Ritchie, former
lightweight champion of the world, will.
Ritchie thought the fact tnat he
was boxing instructor at Camp Lewis,
near Taeoma, made him a government
employe, and he so stated In his ques
tionnaire. The board disagreed with him.
Heat Played Havoc
With Lewis Eleven
" Pasadena, Cal., Jan. 3. (TJ. P.)
! Camp Lewis' Ninety-first footballers left
here last night for home. They call It
that now, and they're gloomy because
they are not bringing home the bacon.
But as Willie Ritchie, former light-
1 weight champion, and the Nlnety-firsts's
strongest booster at the game, remarked.
"somebody had to lose." However, the
boys all would like another crack at the
1 Marines. Not as an- alibi, they say, but
I as a fact, the beat played havoc with
their "pep" and they figured .for more
speed In cooler weather. All the crip
ples-got Away with the team. The team
will not disband.

Jones Won $1000 on Papers
Chicago, Jan. 3, (1. N. S.) Tom Jones, manager of Bryan Downey,
is always willing to risk a big bet on his boy. Tom's gambling instinct
enriched him $1000. Shortly after the Downey-Johnny Griffiths match
ended in Akron, Ohio, New Year's afternoon Tom walked into Old Man
Griffs saloon. There was much discussiorf as to the winner. Some one
suggested to Tom that his boy got an awful licking. Tom was hot under
the collar, for while there were fully 3000 people in the hall at ft. 2
and $3, the promoters paid off only on 12400.
"Bet you $1000 every paper. in town (meaning Akron) gave the fight
to Downey," came from Jones. The bet was made. An examination of
the decisions of the kron papers showed the Times, Press and Beacon
Journal gave the decision to Downey. Since there were no other papers,
Jones cashed. "When the home papers rule against a home boy, it must
be pretty good evidence as to who won," said Tom -when he pocketed
the $2000.
