This is the big question in the minds of the local fans. Defensively, the Buds rank as the. best team in the league, but their offensive attack has been theif weak point. During the sec ond period of the game against the Millionaires, Portland players played like the champions of the world. Their attack proved far too much for the Canadians. The form displayed by Harris wm a sample of what he can do If he sets, his mind on the game. Harris was everywhere on the ice, hi back-checking being very effect-,: Ive and his passing In the second period being of high standard.

The Brooklyn club, pennant " winner only two" years ago, has contributed from Its finest to Uncle Sam's world's series.

His spirit of sacrifice has been one of the finest things in connection with the National league's avowed Intention of doing everything it can to help the government. The Dodgers already have given up hurlers enough and of suffi cient ability to form a very good major league staff.

' ' ' I WAR DOES NOT HURT A. L. TIGERS Despite Loss of Eight Players Detroit Will Have Strong Team in Pennant Race. EIGHT TIGERS 13T SERVICE Of the Tigers, eight men hare en tered some branch of the country's service. Hollywood, TTIehoIson, Puller, Alteo, and Oldham have Joined the Army. EUljMta Is ia the aviation corps. Howard Ehmke and Del Baker Joined the aary. . v ' By H. C. Hamilton NEW YdRK, Feb.- 9. (U. P.) There , will be no weakening of the Tigers next season, if Ty Cobb returns to the team instead of taking part in the war on Germany. Some departures appear to have struck the club in the midriff, but, aa a matter of fact, the Tigers actually will be stronger In some parts than when they gave up the battle for a. pennant last fall. For Instance, the Infield will have some added strength in the person of Lpeo Dressn. a first class first baseman, and in the- hurling corps Hughle Jen nings really should get some American- league material out of his youngsters. Kalllo Is Promising Rudy. Kail lo Is the most promising of the youths who will wear the Tiger spangles next season. ' He cornea from the Pacific Coast league with a long record of effectiveness. His acquisition is fully , expected . to offset the loss in the enlistment of Howard Ehmke, an other coast graduate who had proved a real find. The heavy Detroit attack will remain. Ty Cobb. BobVeach and Harry. Hell man. as doughty a trio of sluggers as baseball can boast, will be back pro vided, of course, the army or navy doesn'tappeal too strongly to them. The infield will be intact, with the probable exception of George Burns, and If Dres- sen is capable of putting the skids under Burns and taking over the defense of first base, himself the Tigers are certain to be stronger In the Inner works. . - ' ' Are Good Fielders Th Tiger Infield never has been as heavy a gang of artillery as cpuld be desired. Fielding has been a heavy point with tha olub, however, and a little punch shot In there will work wonders. In Vitt the Tigers have a third baseman who Is generally rated on a par with Buck Weaver. Donle Bush is one of the very best shortstops In the big leagues. Pep Young Is a . passing fair second baseman. If Burns can keep his health and play regular baseball, or If Dressen proves up to advance notice, the Tigers will be wen set. . ; ' Weak a Twirlers Pitchers always have been a soft spot In Detroit since-the days of Wild Bill Donovan. Hints that BUI might attach himself to the Tigers for coaching pur poses, therefore, sounds mighty fine In the Michigan metropolis. . Bill might be able to put something in that pitching staff. . With a fine crop of youngsters to -work-on,, it may" be that the-Tiger machine yet will get started toward the point it has hoped for so long. The punch Is certainly there. Wheneverjthe Tigers get to cutting downjujo opposi tlon to slightly fewer runs the Amerl can league Is going to recognise an up start. . . .

After a long period, during which. It seemed Jess Wlllard and. Fred Fulton might be drifting together - for a match that would settle Fulton's status as a championship contender, the tide ap parently haa now turned the - other way, and prospects' of a Willard Fulton match seem more remote than- ever;. The rock on which the negotiations came to grief was the Fulton-Mlske fracas at St. Paul last month. Had Fulton defeated MLake. deci sively, as most fight fans, believe he . should have done, it Is not unlikely . that Wlllard and the big Minnesota trowel manipulator wpuld have got ten together , in Chicago the week, of January 20-26 . and talked business. Such a conference waa -planned, but after the fight at St. Paul it fell through. Objects to Second Bater When Fulton failed to put Miska away .or even to make an Impressive showing with a man mors than 80 pounds lighter than himself, Wlllard Immediately cam forth-with a state ment that he did not understand how Fulton could continue to call himself a topnotch heavyweight. And Big Jess made it plain that he was not desirous of entering the ring with a second-rater. .Mike" Collins, the enterprising manager of Fulton, camouflaged his chagrin over the showing of his bat tler by coming forth with a state ment that he did not see any use in talking business with Wlllard until Wlllard announced a' definite basis on which to negotiate for a cham pionship match. Inasmuch as Wll lard , had repeatedly announced ho would fight at any time on the one condition that both contestants give their entire -earnings for the fight to the Red Cross, Collin's statement appears. to be without much foun- . dation. , . One Chance Left There is one chance still remain ing, however,?, that may, bring Wll lard and Fulton together again. If Fulton' should come out a decisive victor In .his bout with Frank Moran, at , New ' Orleans, some time this month,'v Wlllard might revise his opinion of Fulton's fighting ability. The Moran bout looks like Fulton's chance to rehabilitate himself In the heavyweight ranks. After reports of the Fulton-Mlske fight tend -to minimize the showing made by Mtske. Altough critics agree that Fulton did not fight as he had been expected to. It Is also J ack Dillon Through Top Notch Boxer Jack .Dillon, once renowned "Hoosler Bearcat," is through as a fighter of top most class, but Dillon is having - no trouble keeping the wolf from the door. The reputation he' acquired in the days when he was hammering the ambition out of the best of the light heavies and a great many of the heavies, seems to be carrying him right along. Dillon' fought- George Chip ' recently and even decrepit old George took a de cision from the former mankiller. But Dillon went right ahead and got himself matched for some more brawls. ' - To Build ; New Park In Cuba . .'; Abel Linares, former president of the Cuban National Baseball league. Is building a new park - in the center of Havana. ' Games will start in March. An efort will be made to havo some of the Major league teams go to Havana this spring from Florida for . practice games. : - i Volley Ball at .Harvard Dr. Dudley A. Sargent, director of the Hemingway gymnasium of Harvard university, . favors L the introduction - of volley ball, handball, battleboll and many other playground games tn the students' athletic curriculum. ' . Battle Remote Club Success agreed by many competent . Judgea that Mlske did not come anywhere near outpointing Fulton. Many sports writers who saw. the fight be lieve that Fulton had a shade the better of It and that Mlske was lucky to stay the full 10 rounds. Fifteen Years of Boxing ' Fifteen years of continuous public boxing, entirely uninterrupted in all that time, Is the remarkable record hung up by Joplin, Mo. It is be lieved no other city in the country has a record equalling It. In almost every city where boxing has flourished In the last 15 years, there have been Intervals when the sport was forced to - suspend. But Joplin- goes merrily on with abso lutely nothing to halt the even tenor of Its pugilistic way. And in all that time and this is the most remarkable partthere has been but one promoter in Joplin. He Is Jimmy Bronson, and" he runs an organisation known as the South west Athletlo club. The club has a membership of 4600. Joplln's method of running the game probably could be tried to ad vantage In other sections of the country. The big business houses of the town support the club. Member ships are sold for a dollar and this money may be applied upon a' ticket for any of the entertainments during the year. Of course the prices of the tickets run higher than that, but one must have an original member ship card to get In. Commission la Charge The mayor appoints a commission of three to run things and the mem bers serve without compensation. Boxing, wrestling And all other sports are out of the state's hands and under the commission's control as far as Joplin is concerned. Tom Douglas, a wealthy mine owner, la chairman, and other members are Henry Connolly, a prominent tailor, and Judge C. M. Walden, an attor ney. The city collects a. license fee of $10 for each show, and 15 rounds without decisions , aTre permitted. Bronson says that he has sold as high as 600 memberships at once to business firms who use them for ad vertising purpose. .They consider it good business and an ad for the city. Joplin has had soma excellent bouts' in the last 15 years, and boasts of a state record for receipts at a boxing show. The "V"arl Morrts Jlm:FIynn show drew $11,000, and several others have approached that mark. 1 Hendricks Denies He If After A. A. Stars When Jack Hendricks took up his du ties as manager of the Cardinals, was reported he was after Duke lieilly Steve, YerkeS and Herman Bronkie, members of the Indianapolis American Association cltfb. The three form the backbone of the club with which Hen drioks won the 1917 pennant. Jack im mediately denied it, but admitted he wanted one more outfielder to fit. in with Walter Cruise and Jack Smith.

AccL President Glass Will Lay k Plan Before Directors; Would In crease Interest in Game. PRESIDENT GRAHAM GLASS. SR.. of the Waverley Country club, will place the question of forming a state golf association, as suggested by The Journal, before the next meeting of tha directors of the club for consideration. It is believed that the Waverley' direc tors will cooperate with the other clubs in the organisation of a body to award and set the dates of championship events. . .. President John G. Clemson of the Portland Golf club has placed the matter bofore the directors of the Portland club, and a committee has been an- pointed to look into' the matter. Benefit to Golf "There is no doubt that the orranlsa tlon, such as suggested by The Journal, would create a great deal of interest among the golf players. The Portland Lawn Tennis association waa a huge success during its first year and I am of the opinion that a similar body would be a great benefit to golf." Roscoe C Nelson, chairman of the handicap committee of the Tualatin Country club, is In favor of the organi sation. Although no official word has been re ceived from out-of-town clubs, it is be lieved that the Salem Country club and the Eugene Country club would Join hands If such an -organisation were formed. State Meet TJatselded -Just where the state championship tournament will be staged this year has not been decided. The Waverley Coun try club will not put in a bid for the event this season, and if a tournament is to be held it will have to be staged either on the links of the Portland Golf club or the Tualatin Country club.

CrackinR--. fine weather has Sent varsity fans thinking of spring, with baseball anil track loomine to the foreground, and has like-. u wise, increased fandom's interest in wrestling and .basketball, which will hold sway for another rnonth or more. , The return of Bill Hay ward from Camp Lewis the early part of the week has added additional punch to varsity basketball, just as the arrival of former wrestling coach Edward Shockley has revived the mat game,.which was fast on the wane at Oregon. ' Bill Hay ward plans a near entire change in his green basket-, ball quintet. Ever since the disastrous series with the Aggies every possible combination has been tried in an effort to secure greater offensive strength, without hindering a checking defense Inexperience and inability to grab the finer points of the game, as well as a lack of team play have made the varsity easy for oppos-. ing fives. ' Unless some new star develops. Dot Medley. Besdek'a star forward pass receiver of last year's football campaign, will play one of the for ward positions in the coming series with Washington on February IS apd 19. Medley has always played basketball in a guard position, but his ability to dribble and put the ball in the net from close range has caused Hayward to switch him to strengthen up his team offensive. Billie Morrison, the diminutive for ward, will run with Medley. Mor- , rlson was sadly off. color In the Aggie series, but fandom expects him . to come back In the coming games. Comfort at Center Berth Charley . Comfort, the big 1S5 pound Junior, will be seen In the center berth. Comfort lacks the dash of an experienced basketball man, but has lately found his eye, and may be counted on for a few hoop shots In each game. Pow Wil son, end on the football team, will play one guard . position, with BUI Steers, football star from Tha Dalles, fighting it out with Par sons for the other sentinel berth. Walter Grebe of Portland and Ned Fowler of Pendleton are In, line for first substitute's berths. , The lemon-yellow i has a atrenu ous schedule ahead of them in the coming three weeks. : The University of Washington five will play on the local floor on February 19 and 19. followed by O. A. C. for the final two games of the four game series, scheduled for Eugene the nights of February 21 and 2X. Oregon will oomplete her season the last week end In February an the first two days in March. She will meet the Camp Lewis -team V at American Lake on February 27 ; play the Uni versity of Washington the -following, two nights, and finish up with Multnomah club in; Portland on March 2. ) Wreatllag Tryosts COmlsg Varsity wrestling tryouta, to de cide who will represent Oregon against the Washington mat men ' on February 1 at Seattle, will take place Monday afternoon, un der the direction of Coach Ed ward Shockley. j Slmola and Flegel will fight It out . for the 115 pound class, with present odds favoring Simola. Claude Hill, ,a holdover from last year, has no opponent in the 125 pound class. Dwlght Wilson, of the 1917 team, will J struggle with Charles Dundore, a senior from Portland, to hold down hla 115 pound berth. Captain Harold "Bearcat" Grey seems assured of his place in the 14$ division, as does George - Taylor j in the light heavyweight class. .. j Track Looks Gloomy Gloom is the only! thing Coach Hayward hands out when ap proached concerning varsity track prospects. "I have ho prospects," said the famous coach, when In terviewed last week. "I know right now, within five points, ex actly what I can get in each meet. Give me three men for each event - and we can heat O. A. C. otherwise they will whip us easily." But five men of any experience are. in college and only one, Oscar Gorecsky, is a letter man.
