AT VANCOUVER which are entered to the North Pacific Criticism Is Directed ' -- : i Against "M Dismissal of Eddie 0'Connell Pleasing to Large ,Numbe of Members. ; Not CONSIDERABLE criticism has been directed toward, the Mult nomah Amateur Athletic club for failing to retain the services of E. J. O'Connell, who for the past 11 years has been wrestling instructor and who has handled the boxing claisses since the resignation of pTommy Tra cey several years ago. ! The reason for disposing; of O'Connell, it is said, is : his popularity ' with) the members of the club, together with the fact that he supported the lathletic ticket placed In the field against the club ticket at the last annual election LOSES VALUABLE 31 A si In losing O'Connell, the club will suf fer a great loss, for he was an instructor of great ability and turned out many wrestling champions. His added duties as "boxing instructor placed a burden on him and it la doubtful if a better man could be secured to- fill his place. I -! In addition to directing . criticism in the release of O'Connell. much comment has been heard about the little respons-J luuiLy. piaceti on uie cnainnen oi ine va rious committees. . -j: f- - The club, it was pointed; out by a very prominent member,' was ' organized for the purpose of encouraging athletics and the success of the organization depended upon the amount of Initiative and energy shown by a committee , chairman.' I The more energy ; the greater j success for a committee. -i J. '. SYSTEM CH15GED , In recent . years, the committee chair man has been reduced to ia great extent to nothing but a figurehead, v This was clearly demonstrated when the club of ficials did not even notify plmar Dranga, chairman of the boxing and wrestling committee, of the change in his depart ment and furthermore he was not con sulted when -Ted Thye was picked as wrestling instructor . and Tom Louttit was named to have charge of the box ing classes. ; . .-. V". ; . i "It seems to me." stated the club member, "that the club is drifting ito a point where paid officials will have full control of all athletics." ; , , "Another thing that tends to show the committee chairmen were practically re duced in rank was the appointment of members of the board as heads of vari ous branches," concluded tha member. A petition is being circulated by some of O'Connell's friends in hopes of per suading the club officials to reconsider. but .it is not likely that the petition will have any bearing on the case, f Tryster Winner of Saratoga Special ' Saratoga.

The excitement be came so Intense at the third and decid ing game between Brooklyn Park and Kenilworth j Park on the Sellwood grounds Friday night that, the athletes and spectators couldn't hold themselves, it is said. Some one hollered something which sounded like "kerio" and the fight was on. With Brooklyn leading 15 to 12 in the first half of the seventh inning Kenilworth started a drive jf or more runs but the tally was shortlived, however, as the bdxing contests started. It was said that the decision of the instructors Monday night will settle; which team rightfully is the 1920 champion of Port land. The battle cry of ' "Hold 'em, Brooklyn," was heard on .all sides. fair meet at Vancouver this week. Rule Does Not Say Batter1 Must Circle the Bags John B. Foster, editor of Spalding's Onlde, calls attention, to the wording of that scoring rale giving a batter credit for a home ran In the last half of the ninth Inning, if he hits the ball out of the lot, whether more than a single is needed or not, and points ont that there Is nothing la the role as worded to indicate the! batter hitting the homer hag to circle the bases la order to get credit for a home ran. -. In any other case except that of the so-called ninth Inning home ran. the batter can not be credited with a homer nnless he makes the rounds. Bnt In the ease of the ninth Inning 1926 brand of homer there is no such provision in the rule, i -Say the winning rnn Is on third, the batter hits one over the fence, en titling him to a home ran and a rec ord of a home rnn scored; he runs to first base and no farther. He trots oft. the field. Bnt he , Is' en titled to a home rnn and ntit be re corded as having crossed the plate, as well as must all runners ahead of him, whether : more than the one needed actually score or not. All of which Is more proof ef the ntter silliness of the new-fangled ninth inning home run that the base. uau scnues invented.

A sweeping vic tory for the American tearn is ex pected, at the seventh Olympic at Ant werp. British, athletes ire going to the Olympic games with their . tails -down. They admit that defeat; is certain, that they are hopelessly behind -the Americans In practically - every j branch of : the games, and that they j are certain not even of being able to score mofe points than the French. ' I : ! Defeat by Americans j in track events is nowadays accepted with equanimity by all British colleges, sports associa' tionsand clubs, where It is frankly con ceded that the day when England and Scotland held' world records has gone, probably forever. Fort' it- is strongly doubted that English athletes wilt ever agree to undergo the intensive scientific training which Is regarded In England as the secret of American success on the track and in the field. ( - Discussion on this point has been re vived by the smashing ilawn tennis vie torles of Tllden and Johnson and the triumph of the . Princeton team In their meet with Oxford Uv COACHIXO BIO HELP An Englishman who has studied Amer icans on the athletic track and field for 20 years, writes In Truth : - . i "If genius be in fact jan infinite capa city for taking pains. 1 then the Yanks have it : in abundance. Their best coaches are positively Napoleonic In their untiring attention to the minutest : de tails of technique, they are also, auto cratlc, in a country that boat of its freedom,-to an extent! which our ath letes .would, not tolerate - here. They make their men work, and. by Jove, he has to work, if he is to make the team. ! "The amateur , athletic champioaships have seen the "U. : S.i A. competitors on a broiling July dayj clad from head to heels in the thickest blanket coats, to the audible : amusement of an English crowd, who did not understand that a muscle gives of its best; when its owner is sweating. . The yanks did ana-walked off. with many championships. . AT PABTIJfG, OF WATTS i "There are other important factors in American success. Their intense na tional pride and ambition . to lead by the way, they find defeat very bitter their vast numbers, which enables them to-put three or four good men In the field to our one, and (the amazing en thusiasm of their own People over their performances all these make for sue cess. - . . ; "We" in England are ; at ! the parting of , the ways. Are we; or are we not. going to take up sport on American Unes? Are we going to agonize, to energise, to think long, furiously, con centratedly, or are we, going to continue taking a certain amount of trouble, doing our best and finding it not good enough 7 If we continue the latter then from an international) standpoint our number Is . up, and we had better realise It. We must be through or thorough.' This article soundly) reflects nation wide pinion in England. The answer to the writer's queries is that England will not adopt American methods and will be content to. allow pride Of place In world athletics to pass to Americans.
