of the selection the Western team to meet Harvard in the annual foot- ball battle at the Tournament of Roses to be staged at Pasadena, Cal., on New Year's day, the Harvard squad has helped to solve the difficulty by calling off their After endless dilly-dallying over trip to the Coast because of the fuel shortage. The tournament officials say they are going after another big eastern team to come to the Coast, in spite of the fact that the government has urged all unnecessary travel to be abandoned at this time. With Harvard taking this action in complying with the government's request at this time, it is hardly likely that Washington would take the offer for the big game it did come now. All there is in the game for Wash- is the honor of meeting Harvard. No champion- is at stake, and unless Harvard was the team to play at Pasadena, there would be no special it for the “W” squad to make the trip. There is a lot of talk up and down the Coast that the ment of Roses affair is more or less of a sham. the teams that play there get out of the big game their expenses, and the tournament officials pocket 5 the coin, using the football teams of the big schools as the goats of their private enterprise. Protection against such methods for Coast teams has made by the Pacific Coast conference, which was session here over Saturday and Sunday. Next year and the following seasons, the Coast champions will be by the conference and the winners will have the it to schedule their own games with the eastern teams, the games to be played wherever the winners fee fit. This plan is to be commended because why _ @hould the schools that are furriishing the teams for the big game lose out? Washington will not meet California on the gridiron mext year. The and Gold schedule for 1920 calls the big game with Pullman on Turkey day here. lord will tackle the locals here on November 6 and Washington journeys to Eugene to play Oregon on No- vember 13. Whether 0. A. C. will play here in October has not been decided. ‘Washington and California were over-ridden at the ; erence session Saturday and the visiting teams of Ae conference are entitled to an even split in the re- ceipts with the home teams after this. is was stren- objected to by Washington and California, who are big money winners each year. “Graduate Manager Meisnest, of pees, says Washington will not live to the rule and to the Middle West for games Necessary. It must be admitted that the smaller col- Teges do not have a chance to draw the crowds that bigger institutions do, but the smaller schools do have the overhead expense that the bigger schools meet. It seems that a better plan of percentage be worked out because the new ruling is even unfair than the flat rate paid smaller schools under the old procedure. ick Sharkey, the little New York bantamweight, handed out package In Milwaukee Saturday when he won a shade over Jimmy Wilde, the Engtish flyweight king, in bout. With the defeat of Joe Beckett and the falling of Wilde, sland has received a couple of wallops in the of her ring pride that will take a long time to recover Py ; i H offer of $100,000 for the proposed Dempsey-Car- match for the world’s heavy title comes as a more or Regardiess of whether the match is staged in the the offer brings = gob of publicity to the Oregon if the offer is meant to be taken seriously it is the hope of the Northwest that the Portland offer ix accepted it will give the fans in this section their first real chance a regular championship battle. The bout is proposed for 1920, during the Shriners’ convention, which will be heid in Rose City then. It will be a 1¢round bout as 10 rounds are allowed under Oregon law. _ i Ef ft H f Seattle is off to a flying start for the coming season and the hope of the fans and the scribes that the locals get an early start is bearing fruit. From the East comes the news that Prexy Klepper and Manager Wares of the Siwashes have lined up Merlin Kopp, outfielder; Kobert Geary, pitcher, and Ray Bates, infielder, for Pitcher Lyte Bigbee to the Athletics. Kopp is one of the fastest men in baseball and a good run scorer. He played in the Inter national league for a couple of years before joining the Athletics. He can't hit hard enough to hold down a Job under the big tent, but should stick about .240 out here. Geary is of unknown quan tity. Bates was with Los Angeles last year and didn't have a real chance to show what he could do because he didn’t have the bene fits of spring training. We should be a valuable man for Seattle mext year. He wasn't the property of Los Angeles. Bates is as a possibility for first base. Kopp will replace Jimmy Walsh in the outfield as Walsh won't return to the coast next year. Ray Blossom, who made a mighty sweet record as a pitcher in semi-pro ranks here last year, has signed « contract to pitch for the Vernon Tigers next season. Ray is just a kid and if he doesn't come thru next season he still has a lot of time to de- velop. Just why we should let home talent get away is a mystery. Ray had a day or so trial with the locals last year, but wasn't a chance to show. He must have something if a wise leader Bill Essick will give him a trial, ‘There will be a 25-cent admission charged for The Star basket- hall games. The cost of officials, floors and other operating ex- penses will be met by this charge. Any moneys left over at the end of the season will be turned over to some charitable organt- gation by The Star. —_—_ Let's go eat Boldts—uptown, ‘M4 4d Ave.; downtown, 913 2d Ave. i ——————— - SEVEN BALL Im A CLEVER Guy, rLL SAy so! ——e i guard.

In San Francisco they know him for the story Be wrote of the Chinaman who got his queue caught in a cable slot and wound around the cable and then spent the atfernoon run- ning on the same schedule as the cars. They know him in Chicago, in New York, in Cleveland and all over for his baseball classics of newspaper humor. For the first time in his career, he has agreed to interfere with his winter's fishing to the extent of writing one fable each week. Never before would he consent to undertake this “What Mutts These Mortals Be.” George Ade, Damon Runyon and other authorities on humor have said that Dryden would be the funniest man writing today if he would tackle it.
