That little tilt brought about when the Colonels Ruppert and Tluston. owners of the Yankees, flopped their gauntlet at the feet of Ban Johnson promises to branch out into a free-for-all that will Involve all the magnates in the American league. When the Yankee owners made good their promise to go to the mat with the "league czar" over the Mays case, Harry Frazee and Charles Comiskey rallied to their colors and announced their inten tipn of staying with the New Yorkers in the drive to get the goat of the league boss. GRIFFITH FOR BA Johnson had also a few seconds In his corner, but they were of the quiet work ing variety until Clarke Griffith came out and openly declared his disapproval of the effyts being made to force John son to report how he had been spending the dough of the league's sinking fund. The words of the "old fox" leader of the Senators had hardly come out when the New York-Boston-Chicago forces opened their big guns on him. They claimed that Griffith used to be an anti-Johnson man until the league boss loaned him $30,000 to steer his club over some rough places. They condemn him for repudiating an interview, in which he along with the other anti-Johnson crew assailed Ban when he recom mended cancellation of the league schedule in 1918. Griffith promptly re plied "liars." Then came Colonel Ruppert and claimed that Griffith allowed Lavin to get away with as much "murder" as j Mays pulled in bolting from the Sox and j causing all the rumous. He tmintui m, I that Clarke didn't use any of his recom-mendi-d discipline when Lavin flatly re fused to play with him and demanded a transfer to the St. Louis Nationals. Griffith not only did as Lavin demanded, Ruppert claimed, but he got $15,000 in the deal. With such interesting fuel for the winter stove league, it's bound to be a big season while the snow flies.

Poor Matches Hurt Ring Game Wrongs Should Be Corrected TVJOW that boxing has been grant 1 ed a new lease on life under the 10-round law, let's take a brief glance at the game and attempt' to see how it may prosper and enter tain without blindly stumbling Into the pitfalls which have heretofore sent it away from popular favor a hopeless cripple after a temporary stay. Ever since Jim Corbett made box ing widely popular by scientifically lambasting the championship out of the redoubtable John L., the pas time of the padded mitts, like the Wall street market or the cost of living, haa had its ups and downs. For periods it has flourished like a scantilly clad debutante, and dur ing other periods the public has rightfully banished it as a design ing and dishonest old hag. The public has not been to blame for this fickleness. It has by no means been a question of the public's taste tiring of the game. The public would go on patronizing boxing without end if boxing were to always be willing to meet the public just half way in the deliv ery of its wares. Rather is the fault to be found In boxing itself and in the boxers themselves. That is to say that boxing has too often been the worst evidence against itself and the boxers too often the executioners of the game which has provided them with three squares a day. KEEP IT CLEAN The Portland boxing commission ers and the boxers who expect to take part in the local boxing shows should make an honest effort to profit by Jast mistakes. They should sincerely make an effort to keep the game clean, to hold it above board and to cleanse it from the shady tricks with which it is honeycombed and the unfair advan tages which one side or the oUuer of a match is always striving to attain over the other. Now is the time to start this house cleaning : not later on when the public has been duped so much "Babe" Ruth Makes 27th Home Run of Season; Beats Sox Boston, Mass., Sept. 20. The home run record was shattered today when "Babe" Ruth, Red Sox pttcher, burst through a tied score with the Chicago White Sox in the first game of a double header by walloping the ball for his twenty-seventh home run of the season. "Babe" went to bat in the ninth in ning with the score 3 to 3. Pitcher Williams sent a hot one over and when Ruth's bat connected with It, the stick had steam enough in its swing to put the ball over the center field fence. Admiring friends presented "Babe" with $600 worth of War Savings Stamps after he walked in with the run that gave Boston the game 4 to 3. Harvard cross-country, candidates will report September 22. and has become so disgusted that the game has to be stopped. These remarks are occasioned by a few of the old signs which showed themselves at the smoker at the Heilig Friday night. Spe cial reference is made to the match between Billy Mascott and George Thompson and that between Fred Anderson and Kid Exposito. The matches were poor, to say the least, because of the difference In weight. Yet that is not the main point of grievance. The main point is that Exposito wouldn't give his weight and Thompson refused to weigh until practically forced to do so. A "ham and egger" like Exposito shouldn't be allowed to make a state secret of his weight. Anderson readily gave his weight as 137 and Mascott's was an nounced as 116. Yet the fans had to wait while an unavailing effort was made to get Exposito to tell what he weighed. Thompson did consent to weigh in after a long wait Hereafter the boxing commission should see that every man who goes Into a local ring is weighed before the fight and his weight announced at the ringside. The fans are entitled to know if one man possesses an advantage over another. Many big idubs don't want to give their weights when fight ing a smaller man because of the shame they may feel after being licked. There is nothing criminal about this stubbornness over weight, but it is one of the old tricky signs and if it Isn't stopped there will be scores of other unhealthy signs that will crop out and crab the boxing game before it gets well under way. Has boxing come to stay this " time with a clean bill of health, or Is it going to make Just a fleeting bow and go its way as before? We await an answer to that question, Mr. Boxing Commission, and whether the answer be yes or no lies altogether In your hands. 7 ' Dallas Sportsmen Have Successful Deer Hunt in South Dallas, Or., Sept. 20.

Coach Harglss Is a firm believer In fa mll!jrizlng the old men as well as the r.ew In the fundamental principles of the game, and accents "InBlde football" as well as the other work of the team. At present the men are kept busy In punt ing, passing, falling on the ball and work with the "dummy." Although the coach has at hand suf ficient equipment for more than 100 players, the number of letters he has received has caused him to contemplate the purchase of additional parapher nalia, as he is now. counting upon hav ing from 150 to 200 candidates for the arslty and the freshmen teams. None of the freshmen players Mill make their appearance upon the gridiron before the middle of next week, being kept busy registering tho first two days.
