GRIFFITH
DRAWS IRE
OF OTHERS
.Washington Owner Condemned!
by Fellow Magnates; Big
Squabble Coming.
N
EW YORK. Sept. 20. (U. P.) 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.
Neale, Red Player,

Center Fielder Neale of the Cincinnati
Reds may play basketball with a Phila
delphia quintet during the winter
months. The Kastern league has re
organized with six teams, two from the
Quaker City, one from Reading. Pa. ;
another from Allentown. Pa., and two
New Jersey organizations representing
Camden and Trenton.
Famous Mar May Shine
One of the English runners expected
to shine in the Olympic games is G. Mill
of the London Polytechnic Harriers, the
half mile and one mile champion, who
in the recent sports of the Celtic Foot
ball club at Glasgow finished second in
the one mile race, covering the distance
in 4 minutes 16 4-5 seconds. He was
scratch man. The performance beat
Fred Bacon's Scottish record of 4 min
utes IS 1-5 seconds made at Powderhall
in 1894 and equals the British mark for
tho distance by amateur"

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.

More Than 100 Football Stars
Boing Figured on to Report
at Corvallis Soon.
OREGON AGRICULTUR
AL COLLEGE, Corvallis,
Sept. 0. During the past
week football players have been
turning out by ones and twos
until there are lo be seen nearly
two full squads working out
here on the campus. Several of
the men have not donned the'
moleskin suit since the Orcpon
game, nearly two years ago, but
are returning as rapidly as they
are honorably discharged from
the army or navy.
This week's work consisted in getting
the men In condition by light work only.
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.
Letters from all parts of the state,
including a great many from former
Portland high school stars, have been
received, and the strongest squad of
youngsters In the history of the Beavers
is expected.
PlerMy of backfield nd end material
will be available this season, and Coach
Harglss' hardest problem will be to
build up a strong and aggressive lln,
and can only be accomplished by shift
ing his men. Of the 15 old letter men
who will be Been on the field this year,
there are .only six linemen, with John
ston, Cole, Loosely. Tycer at guard ; Os
Walker remains the only old candidate
for tackle, and Bob Stewart at center.
Aspirants for the wing position are
plentiful, and a selection will be hard
to make from Reynolds. "Keek" Hub
bard. GUI, illrk and Russell. The back
field Is represented by Captain "Butts"
Reardon. quarterback; Powell, full:
P.ose and Lodell at halves. Lodell will
bo depended upon for the kicking.
The second tiring presents possibilities
for valuable material, the majority of
them being linemen. Van Hoesen.
lOlkieman. Keene, Briggs and Pinkerton
are end candidates, with McCart. Chris
tt nsen, Hayden at tackle, nn men who
will bid heavily for positions on the
varsity. Ramsey. Campbell, W. P.
Hubbard and Schwind will prevent Cole
and Johnson from laying down on tha
jcb. Strohecktr will push Stewart this
year for position at center. Backfield
candidates are not numerous, Schroeder
