CINDER PATH FOR '
MULTNOMAH CLUB
IS RECOMMENDED
Morrie Dunne Says "Winged M"
Should Have 100-Yard Straight
Away for Athlejes.
RECOMMENDATION that a cinder
straightaway be constructed on
Multnoniah field will bo made to the
board of directors of the Multnomah
Amateur Athletic club by T. Morris
Dunne, chairman of the grounds com
mittee. From past experience it has J
been ehown that a few hours of heavy j
rain -before a track and field meet
makes impossible for records as well
as sensational performances.
It Is the Intention of Chairman Dunne
, to put before the directors a plan
whereby the 100-yard straightaway will
be cinders at least. Tryouts foa the
Olympic games will be held on the Pa
ctfic Coast, and the "Winged M" club
Is thinking very seriously of making
application for holding the trials in
Portland. If the tryouts come here,
the cinder track will be needed more
.than ever, and efforts will be made to
have It constructed within the next
two months.
Blue Rock Classic
To Cost Big Sum
The Grand American handicap shoot
at Cleveland August 23 will, it is esti
mated, see at least 712,500 shots fired
during the week's competition. A total
of 12 traps are to be used. It will cost
for shells alone $35,625 and the entrance
fees will foot up $95,000. Every gun,
shell and powder company will be rep
resented. Out of the 900 to 1100 guns
' shot, 80ft of them will be single barrels ;
9.90 per cent will be. 12 gauge; 650 of
' them will have barrels over 30 inches
long. The total value of the guns will
be possibly $150,000.
Seven Hours Taken

CUB STAR
SEEKING
A RECORD
Alexander Anxious to Hurl Hitless
and Runless Game; Expects
Great Season.
CHICAGO, Feb. 14. (I. N. S.)
Grover Cleveland Alexander, pre
mier pitcher of the National league
and .king pin of the pitching staff
of the Chicago Cubs, ought to be
thoroughly satisfied with his record
as a major league moundsman. But
he isn't.
Mex the Great has been a star for a
good many seasons. He has basked in
the spotlight of fame, enjoyed the
plaudits of thousands of fans and has
been set up as an idol among players,
lie commands one of the fattest salaries
in baseball and has, perhaps, four or
five more successful seasons to enjoy In
stardom. What more could a fellah
ask?
HOPES TO BREAK I.V
The answer is easy. Alex has never
pitched a no-hit game. He is itching
to enter the select class of hurlers who
have chalked up no-hit, no-run victor
ies. He hopes to invade that class next
season, and if he is fortunate enough to
hurl such a game he hopes that it will
be one of those "nobody to first'' exhi
bitions. When Alex played with- Galesburg in
the Illinois-Missouri league in 1909 he
chucked a no-hit game but that was a
minor league affair. His attempts to
register such a victory in the big show
have been constant. He tries it every
time he enters the box and this may be
the secret of his great success. Of
course, he has natural ability scads of
It else he never would have reached
the realm of stardom.
FIVE I" CIRCLE
The ambition of the big right-hander
to pitch a no-hit. shut-out. nobody-to-first
game may fall short of realization,
however, for only five pitchers have ac
complished this feat since 1875. The
records of no-hit gardes show that they
come few and far between. Here are the
pitchers who achieved the goal at which
Alex Is aiming:
J876 O. W. Bradley. St. Louis X. L.
vs. Hartford, July 15.
1880 J. L. Richmond, Worcester X. L.,
vs. Cleveland. June J2. John M. Ward,
Providence X. L.. vs. Buffalo. June 17.
1904 D. T. (Cy) Young, Boston, A. L..
vs. Athletics. May 5. j
1908 Addie Joss. Cleveland A. L., vs. :
Chicago. October 2.
WATCH OUT FOR ALEX
"It Is the ambition of every pitcher
going to the big leagues to turn in a
no-hit came." Bald Alexander recently,
"and I am still waiting my turn. Look
ing back over my National league career
I can recall several one-hit games, but
something always happens to keep me
from breaking into the circle occupied
by such pitchers as Young, Joss. Toney,"
Hughes, Marquard. Eraser, Bender,
Wood and Rucker. But I'm not through
trying. Dn't forget that." I
It will be only a short few weeks
from now until Alex will limber up his,

Cubs will do their spring stunts.

MAT GAME POPULAR
IN GOTHAM RESULT
OF' TITLE CONTEST
Stether-Caddock Contest Reveals
That Wrestling Game Has
Strong Hold on Fans.
NEW YORK. Feb. 14. (I. N. S.)
Heavyweight wrestling has never
been more firmly intrenched in New
York than It is since the Stecher-Cad-dock
championship match at Madison
Square Garden.
Time was when wrestling was looked
upon with more or less suspicion by
the sporting public here as well as In
many other parts of the country. The
very nature of the sport, which makes
it comparatively easy for two finished
wrestlers to stage "one of those things,"
contributed to the cloud of suspicion
that once enveloped it. In addition
there were charges and counter-charges
of faking made at intervals, and wres
tling stalked about with a black eye.
EXJOY8 PRE8TIGK
Today the mat game is enjoyingi
prestige with the sport-loving, public
of New York and its environs. It has
been given a clean bill of health and
has become so popular here that when
ever an attractive match is made the
sport fans fall all over each other in
the rush for choice seats.
Joe S tec her and Karl Caddoek, young,
clean-cut, clear-eyed American types of
manhood, furnished the spectacle that
glued wreatllng tightly to the sport
map In this section, and Promoter Jack
Curley. who has been struggling to
build up wrestling tn New York for
several years, also deserves credit for
the elevation of the game to such a
popular plane.
W RESTLESS CHEEREJ)
New Yorkers are among the keenest
wrestling fans in the world. They un
derstand the game thoroughly and they
can't be fooled easily. The 10,Qp0-odd
spectators who' saw Stecher wrest the
world's title from Caddoek went home
satisfied that the match was won and
lost on Its merits. A majority of the
spectators were with Caddoek from the
first because he Is the smaller of the i
two men. The applause for Caddoek
when lie appeared indicated c.how the
crowd felt. Yet the rousing reception
Stecher got when he rose from the mat
th; new world's champion was Just aa
hearty.
MANAGER P. MORAN
PLANS TO KEEP HIS
CHAMPIONS INTACT
No Changes in Cincinnati Line
up Forecasted; Some Star
Players Are Holdouts.
THERE will be no change in the Reds
this season, either infield or out
unless caused through accident or
illness. That's the word from Pat
Moran the men who gathered the 1919
banner are good enough for another
whirl. There will be new utility men,
and that will be all. Championship
clubs that keep their membership un
changed ' were always good Tor two or
three successive pennants in earlier days.
Championship clubs that chase some
regular member of the winning outfit
always got it in the neck the following
season. As long as the 1919 flag-winners
are strong and active, they will hold
their places, and old baseball supersti
tions will be obeyed. 4taubert and Rath
are getting on in base -years, but they
were never better than in 1919, and their
rejuvenation should be good for another
I season. . Earle Neale hit only .242 last
summer, but due allowance, must be
made for the glare of the sunReld, which
has always shrunk the hitting record of
the Red outfielders. There Is.of course,
not an earthly chance for any new birds
to displace Roush, Groh or Kopf. Pat
Duncan has left field definitely mort
gaged. The utility men of the club will
be Juat utility men, and nothing more.
To sum It up, the Reds of 1920 will be
the Reds of 1919. and that the last word
of the argument. "1 think well have
them all in line by time to go south,"
says August Herrmann, "and the fel
lows who won for us last summer are
strtng enough to stick right where they
are no changes among them."
Llew Edwards Signs
Up forv Three Bouts
Llew Edwards, the Australian light
weight champion, who recently returned
to this country with Tom Andrews, the
Milwaukee promoter and manager, will
fight three bouts before a Milwaukee
club before accepting any offers to meet
Benny Leonard, according to a recent
announcement.
Edwards wants time to get acclimated
and also wants to put three or four
good fights under his belt before he at
tempts to knock Leonard loose from his
title. Edwards, it is said, will meet
Johnny Dundee, Eddie Fltzslmmons and
Kichie Mitchell before a Milwaukee club.
' Home and Home Games Sought
Mystic Valley league schools around
Boston, Including Melrose, Winchester,
Arlington, Wakefield, Woburn and
Watertown, practically have decided to
play home and home games in football
as well as baseball this year.
Knox May Coach Canadians
Walter Knox, the Orillia (Ont) ath-
jlete. is reported to be the. popular choice
among Canadian amateur athletic union
officials for coach of the Canadian Olym
pic team.
Only One Sport
"VNLY one sport billiardsout of the 11 conducted during 1919 by the
Multnomah Amateur; Athletic club showed a profit according to the
annual report of the treasurer. The cue games showed a profit of
$1915.96 while other sports were in the "red" at figures ranging from
$32.97 for football to $9595.85 for swimming.
. No athletic institution in the world can conduct all its sports at a
profjt, but football and boxing above all should not be in the "red." Con
ditions during the past, however, have been such that little or no Income
has been provided in these two branches of athletics.
The deficit in other sports wag Increased greatly by improvements
made during the year.
Amateur boxing has been more or less dead for the past several years
and football. receipts are falling off every year, although the receipts last
year wjms greater than in 1918 and 1917. The low figures in these years
can be attributed to the war.
Several years ago football produced a big profit and with a member
shipship larger than at any time in its history the trustees should do
something to bring back the interest in the great .American game. There
are enough young fellows in the club who can be developed into good
football players and in addition there are lots of college men who could
he picked up.
N. W. Tennis Rankings in the Making
ORTirVVEST tennis rankings for tho 1010 season will be announced
in the near future, according to word received from Kmest Young
of Vancouver, B. C, chairman of the committee. Failure of the Se
attle tennis heads to forward their score resulted In the long delay.
Considerable trouble, too, hafe been experienced In plating Hi
first 10. Marshall Allen, the Seattle youngster who annexed teverul
title, Including the international, will probably head the list despite
the fact that he was beaten In several matches by players of lest bril
liancy. Phil Neer, the local youngster, who was placed ticventh tn the
junior rankings of the United States, Is likely to be among the first
10, aa Is CaUln Wolfard. Xeer won the Pacific Northwest champion
shi) at Tacoma.
Miss Mayme McDonald of Seattle will head the women's ranking,
judging from her successes last year.
Olympic Games Committee Lagging
JS THE American Olympic Games committee going to wait until the last
minute before announcing its plans for financing the trip of the United
States representatives to the 1920 Olympiad at Antwerp? In 1912 there
was one final grand rush in order to get money enough to send a team to
the Stockholm games and indications are that the same will prevail this
year.
Western athletic leaders are awaiting word from Fret? W. Rublen.
secretary of the Amateur Athletic union, regarding several . points that
are in dispute before announcing any plans for the coast section. Tho
coast tryouts, according to present plans, will be, staged sometime in June,
about two months prior to the Olympic games events. This means that
the athletic heads must get busy in a hurry.
Gustavus T. Kirby, president of the Olympic Games committee, ac
cording to a letter received by T. Morris Dunne, one of the coast tryout
officials, will be in Portland some time in March-to make final arrange
ments for the coast trials and to lay plans for gathering funds.

Bagshaw Deserving of a Promotion
rjiHK move the University of Idaho athletic council made, in securing
the services of Enoch Bagshaw of the JCverett high school aa fot-
Dan coacii for tho 1020 season was a good one In the opinion of a num
ber of followers of the scholastic game In tho North we t.
Bagshaw's record with the Everett team entitles 1dm to an oppor
tunity to prove his worth in collegiate circles. During nine years
at Everett, Bagsliaw's team did not surfer a single defeat at the lunula
of high school elevens.
Idaho signed Bagtthaw after falling to socuro Cliarles Moran,
who established quite a reputation at Center college In Danville, Ky.
The Gem Staters had agreed to meet Moran's figures, but he stated
he would be unable to accept.
New Rules Will Beftefit Players
pRESIDENT WILLIAM II. M'CARTIIY will likely Include the Important
playing rules changes, accepted , at the major league meeting in Chi
cago, in the Pacific Coast league this season.
The rule declaring any ball that touches a players' bat or a part of
his clothing a "dead ball" will tend to lengthen a players' time at bat.
The home run rule entitling a player to a home run if he knocks the ball
over the fence or In the stands in a final inning and to allow all runners to
score is one that should have been Included in the rules long ago. A player
knocking a homer Is entitled to the extra bases and the runners on the
bases are entijd to the tallies even If one run breaks up the game.
Dartmouth Grabs More Grid Honors
JABTMOUTU football players will have the honor of dedicating an-
other football stadium. If memory serves rightly, when they lino
up against tho University of Washington eleven In the new field in Se
attle November 27, 1020.
The Green team played against Harvard In the first contest on
Soldiers' field, the Harvard stadium, and it also imrticlpated In the
opening game In Palmer stadium, Princeton's football gridiron.
This is quite an honor for the team and indications arc tliat one
of the largest crowds that ever attended a football contest In the
Northwest will witness these two teams in action in Seattle this fall.

and most versatile little mermaids.
At the water carnival for members

ON DATES
Decision to Hold Sectional Dou
bles Means Breakawya From
Old Tennis Schedule.
TBTALTEn A. GOSS, sectional dele
gate of the United States Na
tional Tennis association, is con
fronted with a problem in arranging
the dates of the Northwest tourna
ment fixtures this year.
An unusual situation has been brought
about by the decision of the North Pa
clfio International Lawn Tennla asso
siation to return to the old system of
selecting representatives for the national
doubles championships voted vpon fav- -orably
last year by the parent body.
Under this system, the district doubles
winners are eligible lo participate In the
national event.
ME AX 8 SCHKDULE SHIFT
The Northwest did not hold a sec
tional doubles championship in 1919, but
plans to do so this year end the award
ing of the tourney may mean breaking
away from the old plan of naming the
tournaments in rotation as provided for
in the constitution of th association.
Under the by-las. the Northwest sea
son opens in Spokane with the Inland
Hmpire tournament and is followed by
tho Oregon State championship and the
other fixtures, but in view of the fact
that the city allotted the doubles event
will be forced to stage the event during
the middle of July results in a difficult
situation.
Seattle Mill likely land the doubles
championship this year and as the
Washington tourney is usually held in
August, It means an advance of prac
tically a month In the state event, whlrh
Is always held In conjunction with sec
tional events.
MAY LAND BIO PI,AT
Portland will likely land the interna
tional events this year. This fixture,
which was revived lost year, has not
been held In Portland since 1911. The
awarding the Junior and boys' event of
the Northwest is another question to be
ironed out.
Gobs plans to communicate with the
various clubs in the Northwest in the
neur future In regard to dates for cham
pionship and junior ovents.
The date of the Oregon state champ
ionship will be fixed at the annual meet
ing of the Portland Tennis association.

limo when it meant postponement or
cancellation of bouts that would have
added tens of thousands to his. bank
