On three of the four title hold. ers the crown is resting very un- easily. One good wallop from some ambitious youngster and then soft music. Johnny Wilson, fluke holder of the middleweight title, has done little or no fighting for a year. There are a half dozen middie- wolghts capabie of disposing of Wilson, Joe Lynch, if he ever consents to a meeting with Carl Tremaine, will almost certainly be on the losing end. Several other bantam are equally dangerous, Criqul, the European champion, is being preanagented for a bout with Johnny Kilbane. It Is doubt- ful If Criqui will be able to defeat the feather champion, but there are a half dozen fighters in this country who have better than an even chance, Will Mickey Walker, the welter champion, be able to hold off Dave Shade? Also there is a rumor that Benny Leonard t# packing on weight so fast that he will soon have outgrown the lightweight Mmit.

Such an act la usually referred to as baseball stratecy. There are many fans who dislike the Intentional pasa, The other day I received a very! interesting letter from a well-read! fan, who offers m very unique idea} to eliminate the intentional pass. [ am taking the liberty of reprinting| the important part of the communt- | cation that deals directly with the| big idea, eliminating the intentional | “Make a rule that whenever a batsman has received a baad on balls he can, at his option, continue at bat, and if he then receives an- other base on balis, he can take two bases instead of one, and still} have the option of remaining at bat;) and if he recetven a.third base on balls, take three bases. “In order to make this option of some value, it could be understood that if first base were occupied at the time of the first pass, the base runner there could move up a base, and other base runners move ahead if forced. This same thing would apply if thy batsman gets a second base on balls, “Assume & tie @core in the Inter innings of A close game, a man on first and third, one out and Ruth at bat. Under present conditions, an intentional pass would put three men on bases, make a forces play to any base available to the de- fense, a possible double play at a number of points and a weaker bate. man at bat, all factors in favor of the defense. JUST A SITUATION “Under the suggested rule, after a base on balls to Ruth, the man on first moves to second, no force plays are then open anywhere, and the pitcher {is still faced by Ruth. A poa. sible second pass (moving ahead the man on second, would force in a run, leave a man on third, and the pitcher still faced with the problem of deal- ing with Ruth if the batsman de- cides to stay at bat. He can, if he elects, take second and leave the bur den of scoring base runners to the next man on the batting order. “This plan would at once do away with intentional passes and force the pitcher to pitch to the batsman, thereby very much increasing the value of the hard hitter to his team at critical moments. “The nituation would work itself out with only one base occupied if the batsman should exercise his op: tion and take three passes, Of course if at any time the bataman hits the ball he must abide by the result of that action in tho regular way," GAME TOSSED OUT Frank Patrick, Coast hockey presi. dent, has thrown out the protested Victoria-Vancouver game of last Fri day, when Vancouver won in over. time, It was charged that the nets were out of place when the goal was scored, The game will be played over March 6 if it has any bearing on the championship.

KIVIAT WILL '_DO COMEBACK IN NEW YORK BY JACKSON V, SCHOLZ EW YORK, Feb. 6-—The Wilco games, to be held here next! | Saturday, will offer several attrac. tions which will keep the crowd well on the edge of their seats, ‘The event which has perhaps been given the most publicity and which the fans are awaiting with the great- emt degree of curiosity, ts the horaid- ed comeback of Abel Kiviat, the mf mou distance and middie distance man of 10 years ago. It has been| weven years since Kiviat has com- peted, but at the time of his greatest | speed he established records which will always stamp him ag one of the country’s greatest milers. Angther feature of the meet will be the one and only Jole Ray, who will attempt to uphold his fame as a] record smasher. The chief difficulty with all of hin Eastern appearances this year is the fact no one can be found to give him a race, With this in mind the Wilco officials have obtained the consent of Willie Ritola, the latest distance sensation, to stretch Jole out for 3,000 meters, This distance is somewhat whort for Ritola, but from hia recent perform- ances It's & pretty safe bet that Jole will have to step right along to come home in front. MACK’S SON, TIPPED HIM TO ROMMEL EWARK, N. J., Feb. 6—Connio Mack can thank his son, Ear!, for acquiring the services of Eddie Rommel, the pitching sensation of the American league last year. While it isn’t generally known by fandom, Rommel! was once the prop- erty of the New York Giants and wan given the thumbs down by John McGraw. Rommel, in 1918, had a pretty good year with Newark in the Interna- tional league. He was purchased by the Giants in an optional deal, Before the opening of the 1919 sea, son the deal was called off and Rom- mel reverted to Newark, Earl Mack, son of Connie, man- aged Newark that year, He confided to his dad that Rommel! was the mont promising youngster in the ctrouit. On the recomendations of his son, Connie bought Rommel and has de- veloped him into one of the best pitchers {n the majors.

Hoe is diagnowing the plays with speed and his whooting has been the big feature of Washington's game. Mush Hyelte, the lanky O. A. C center, hag proved his class tn the games so far this year and will be the almost unanimous choice for All-Northwest center. Hunk Latham of Oregon, was badly outclassed by Hielte last week. Al Fox, the Idaho captain, has When he's on his game he's about the class of the Coast forwards. Captain Gill of O. A. C,, is another corking good forward, and unless there's an upset in the dope, Fox and Gill will again be chosen for Northwest forwards, The other guard position is very much open as yet, altho Jimmy Bryan will make a strong bid for the position. Bryan hasn't been the class that he showed last year, the hard football season telling on is experience Craw. CONCERNING NEXT YEAR It’s a poor coach who doesn't look forward to next year, Heck Edmundson has three big holes to fill on his varsity five when Crawford, Bryan and Lewis check out. But Edmundson has some great men coming up. Gundlack, guard, Beckett, forward, and St. John, a guard, should make strong bids for next year’s team. Then Edmundson will have Walter MeCloud, the star Lincoln running guard of last year, eligible. McCloud didn't play frosh basketball this year becaune of an injury sustained in football. Besides these he will have Dick Frayn, who ts improving every game, forward, and Bruce Hesketh for center, IDAHO GAME SATURDAY It's the big teat of the season for Washington Saturday when the Purple and Gold faces the Idaho team at Moscow. Last year Idaho crumbled Washington's champion- ship hopes by winning two torrid games.

The Goldendale five hag held the championship of the Columbia river valley for the past five seasons, hav- ing lost one game in this time. Teams from Portland ag well as The Dalles and the vicinity of Goldendale have been taken on each succeeding sea- son with but one loss. Most of the team are speedy young- sters who have played high school basketball in Goldendale and as a pivot man they have an old timer by the name of Spalding, who fs over six feet tall, and he has con- siderable experience, having played at that position for the past 12 years. ‘Those who are making the trip up this way are Spalding, center; BE. Kaiser and Guinan, forwards; with Richards and R, Kaiser, guards. They are also carrying Ballou as a substitute and Bonebrake, manager. So far this year the Knights haye played 16 games and have lost one, and chey are exceptionally anxious to win all their games and then re- deem themselves by defeating Spald- ings next Saturday, who took their measure recently. Prior to the main event, the 90-Ib, team representing the Moran school, will play the Knights of Columbus 90-Ib, team. The little fellows are fast and should make a very inter- esting game to watch.

FARRELL EW YORK, Feb. 6—With the indoor season half over, it has become apparent that many of the tickets for the Olympic jaunt to Paris in 1924 have been cinched. When the United States team went to Antwerp in 1920 there were only six athletes in the bunch who had had previous experience in the Olym- plc games. They were Dan Ahearn, Pat McDonald, Ted Meredith, Fred Murray, Pat Ryan and Matt Mo- Grath. The long interim between the games, on account of the war, was responsible for a practically new team, and perhaps {it should not be considered unusual or a slap at the new generation that Uncle Sam's next team would be composed almost entirely of veterans. In three years only a handful of new athletes have been developed. The most outstanding of the athletes who were not on the 1920 team, but who, no doubt, will go to Paris, are Alfred Leconey and Bob McAllister, sprinters; Leroy Brown, Dartmouth high jumper; Allen Hellfrich, middle distance runner, and Gourdin, the world's champion jumper. In another year a flock of new stars may be developed, but it is not probable, Form shown this winter makes it appear certain that the next team will have on {it Jole Ray, champion middle distance runner; Jimmy Con- nolly and Jake Driscoll for the same distances; Lon Murchison, Bob Mo- Allister and Jackson Scholz, sprints} Leroy Brown, Dick Landon and Johnny Murphy, high jump; Willie Plant, walks; Earl Johnson, dis tance events, and Pat McDonald and Matt McGrath, weights, While they have not been engaged this winter in active competition, tt is a bet that Charley Paddock, Brick Muller, Jack Merchant, Bob Le gendre, Frank Zuna, Sol Butler, Allen Woodring and Ray Watson will be on the team, ATONE La FISHING GOOD “Tho werther continues ideal fe steelhead fishing, and the streami are in splendid shape," is reported by H.
