DOLPH' THOMAS LIKES
BOMNG COMMISSION
ON PORTLAND PLANS
fSan Francisco 'Promoter Will Work for Adoption of New System
Upon Return to Bay City; Battling Ortega Is Pronounced
Star of First Rank Among Welterweights.
TOLPH THOMAS, manager .of Frankie Farren, managing director of 'the
.11 Parkside Athletic club, and one of the three members of the Allied Pro
moters, the title adopted by the various boxing clubs in San Francisco,
';ts the latest, convert to the commission form of handling boxing under the
Portland plan. When Thomas returns to the Bay City, he intends to do a
HttU missionary work toward the ultimate establishment of a commission
there.
If San Francisco's ring game had been under the watchful eye of a com
. mission, Thomas thinks, the old 20-round game would never have been
booted out by the electorate and San Francisco would still be the scene
of the .world's Nggest ring contests

HOPPFS HANDS
AEE INSURED TO
SUM OF. $100,000
Billiard Champion Forbidden to
Play Golf or Baseball by
Company.
R. B. Benjamin, champion press agent
of the world, is In Portland with the
assertion that Willie Hoppe, who has
been breaking all the known billiard
records at balkline and three-cushion, is
the possessor of a $100,000 pair of hands.
Hoppe, whose hands are softer than
any woman's (oh, yes, they are, girls),
was compelled by the insuring company
to discontinue playing golf or baseball.
At that, says Benjamin, his premiums
are higher than the insurance premiums
on Theda Bara's eyes or Pavlowa's feet
or Kitty Gordon's back.
Benjamin says that Hoppe could win
the three-cushion title as easily as he
has held the balkline title, but doesn't
want it. Hoppe uses the balkline touch,
instead of driving the balls, as do the
regular threecushionists, and therefore
does not lose his wonderful stroke. He
broke the world's record of 18 three
cushion billiards In one Inning at San
Francisco which was held by Maupome.
by a phenomenal run of 25. Also in a
gameof balkline he ran out the 250 at
the first shot.

Hendricks Successful Pilot
' K t t at
Shoiild'PutSti Louis In Race
New Cardinal Boss Landed Three'
Pennants, in a Row for Den
' ver in Western League.
New Tork, Jan. 12. If -there ever
waa a minor league manager more
deserving of ' aT'chanc In the big
show than' Jack Hendricks." tbe new.'
pilot of the L Louis Cardinals, he '
must have kept in' hiding.
The recent signing of Hendricks
by Branch Rickey waa no great sur
prise. It came after a aeries of
unsuccessful attempts - on Rickey's
part to secure .Hendricks' services,
and had the St Louts magnate
failed In his affortahe would have
lost the beat major . league man
agerial prospect in the game.
Hendricks' record speaks .for ' it
self. He has been managing clubs
in the' minor leagues for 12 years,
and In all that time has never pilot
ed a club which finished worse than
third in a pennant race.
Started ' As Player
"Scrappy" Jack started out as a
ball player. He played a number of
positions In 'the minor leagues, but
his natural place was in the out
field, and he waa at one time a
member of the Washington and
New York clubs- Though he never
ra'nked as a phenomenal player, he
found his sphere In baseball ' when
he broke In as manager of the
Springfield, Ohio, . Central league '
club In 1906, . and drove his team
to a- second place finish. The fol
lowing year he won the pennant for
Springfield, and In the winter of
1907 he signed to manage the Fort
Wayne club.
After making two third-place
finishes with Fort Wayne In 1908
and 1909, Hendricks joined up with
Jimmy M6QU1 In 1910. at Dollvar, In
the Western league. - McGIll had just
purchased the club, and, as . he was
a progressive magnate from the
start, he gave Hendricks all the
leeway necessary to " buHd up a
winner.
Fat Denver oa Top
In his first year at Denver Hen
dricks led the Grizzlies to a second
place finish and then came a string
of three successive pennant winners
in the Mlle-hlgh city. Hendricks
was hailed as the miracle manager
ef the Western league by everyone
except his rival managers, and they

Fred Fulton, the Minnesota plasterer.
Is responsible for pushing back Smith
and Mortis. In the battle with Smith
he stopped the gunner in seven rounds,
and shortly after defeated big Carl
Morris in a 10 round bout. Frank Moran
was soundly pummeled by little Jack
Dillon of Indianapolis, and his per
formance in this bout proved that he
was fast losing his speed, and also the
kick of famous "Mary Ann "
Jim Coffey, after showing promise in
several bouts, was knocked out by a
comparatively unheard of boxer, Bartley
Madden, in a few rounds.

were mighty glad to see him leave
the circuit in the winter of 191S to
manage the Indianapolis club of the
American association, which was
purchased. by McGIll. -
Taking a tail-end team at In
dianapolis, Hendricks elevated it to
third place in 1914 and finished in
the same position the following year.
In 191S Jiis Indianapolis club fin
ished - second 'to the Louisville Col '
onels, after on of the hottest races
in association history, and last fall
they galloped home with a pennant,
following which ' they won a series
for the minor league, championship
from the pennant-winning Toronto
club, of the International league.
Won Five Peasants
With a record of having won five
pennants In 12 years and never
having finished lower than third
place, Hendricks comes to the big
show bringing a world of proof that .
he has managerial, ability. By
. nature Hendricks is 'a manager of
scrappy disposition on the bail field.
He is not a rowdy, but he loves an
argument now and then, and he has
a strong " pair of " lungs with which
, to lay claim to his rights.
He has proven his calibre as' a
tactician by his successes as a
minor league manager and there are
but few, if. any, managers In the
minors at present who have sent up -more
good players than Hendricks.
While in Indianapolis Hendricks,
lfke all other minor league man
agers, was forced to dispose of
players at times, and In player deals
alone he made J37.500 for the In
dianapolis club.
As manager of the Cards, where
he can hold onto .his star talent,
there is little room for doubt that
Hendricks will succeed. He Is a
capable judge of players, a smart
and aggressive manager, and he haa
the knack of making friends, and
that goes a long way toward suc
cess In baseball.
MISS MOAR WINS .
IN CLOSE PAPER
CHASE OF CLUB
Judges Have Hard Time Pick
ing Winner in Exciting Fin
ish; Trail Is Excellent.
In a spectacular nose-and-nose finish.
Miss Edith Moar, riding Winnie, won the
closed paper chase of the Portland Hunt
club from an exceptionally large field of
riders yesterday afternoon. Miss Marti a
Babb, on Lady Opie, spurred her mount
on during the home stretch on the coun
ty road, near Nesmjth station, and It
was very difficult for the judges to
determine the winner. Miss Rose Har
rington, on Blue Bell, finished third.
The chase started on the county road,
near the clubhouse and the trail was five
miles In length, leading the riders through
Khe timber and over fields and roads.
The footing was' somewhat soft and slip
pery, and although there were a number
of falls, no one was injured. The winner
and her mount picked a nice soft spot
for a spectacular tumble.
Too much credit and praise cannot be
given the hares, Mrs. Ambrose M. Cronln
and Mrs. James Nlcol. for the time they
spent and the work they performed. The
club members were also Indebted to V s.
Cronin and Mrs. Nicol for the Thanks
giving day trail. The chase was under
the direction of James Nlcol.
Twenty-five . rode through the event,
which was followed by a reception and
light repast at the clubhouse, where the
members were welcomed by Mrs. Claude
v. Bowman and Miss Pearl L. Cooke.
The next Hunt club event is the Junior
closed paper chase next Saturday after
noon. The seniors will hold a cross
country ride next Sunday morning.

ATHLETES
ter H. Shafer. former halfback of th
University of Illinois football eleven.
It is a fine testimonial for athletics
to point to the number of devotee , of
sports who have gone voluntarily at
their country' a call. Persona who have
been disposed to censure Indulgence in
athletics, have now little left -for -
criticism. - - .t
In. thla war more than any other,
the athlete .stands out In bolder relief
because there Is more of -his genua.
The lbve of- the ""game" la the earn
in sport and war. and the red blood '
set pulsing on the athletic field car
ries the yojmg man to the battle field ',
with kindred enthusiasm. . -i ;
The athlete la made more resource .
ful by reason of his Indulgence in ,
sports and the open air competition of
the American or Canadian or Aus
tralian boys may be expected to over
c me the gymnasium product of. the
German army. - . 'V
Flrat to Seek TkrUl v
Wherever there is excitement t be
found, one may expect the product of
the athletic field to be flrat on the
job. The early rush to join the Ameri
can arms found the athletes living uo
to the best traditions of the spoTtl
world. ' -' ' "
The time, then, that critics thought "
wasted frOm atudy periods, waa : well .
spent, and in the future, when " the
history of the war shall have been
written, one of the pages will be lllu- '
mined with the deeds of a Po or A
Wilding or ji Bouin.
