THEC0ASTERS
WANT--WHAT?

When the Pacific Coast league;
moguls meet in San Francisco next'
month to consider the ousting OF
Danny Long from the secretary's
chair, the application of the North.
westerns for a Portland franchise
for 1910 will be one of the para
mount questions before the session.
Cal Ewing's Honolulu trip may
have improved his health, but not
his feeling toward the northwest,
for he stated yesterday that he was
opposed to allowing the Northwest
erners to re-enter Portland unless
they agreed to certain things in
black and white.
The question is, What are these
certain things? Manager Bob
Brown is of the opinion that Ewing
will try to eXtort a promise from
the Northwestern officials to per-
init Coast league clubs in Spokane
and Seattle next year.
If Brown has the correct dope on
the situation, the Coasters will ask
far more thon they give. It's not+
an even trade by any means,
merely a case of genteel highway
robbery.
Why not strengthen the lines be-
fore the fight. Line up sixth city
to take Portland's place in the
event that he Coasters are not
amenable to reason. It's not too
late.

.PALOUSE PUCS
AFTER LESTER

Palouse fight promoters are after
Il match between Jack Lester, the
S. A. A. c. 1853 FOUNDER, and George
Sieger of Palouse on January 5.
Boxing Instructor Fred Creel stated
last night that he would not allow
Lester to enter the professional
game until after the Vancouver
meet on January IA, but that one of
his 1853 pound men might make the
trip Immediately following the Van
couverSpokane interclub meet.

VANCOUvER|TES.
PROFESSIONAL

Vancouver is evidently going to
have a hard time against the S. A.
A. C. on January IA. The British
Columbia club is suffering from an
attack of the professional bug
among the athletes and the simon
pure amateurs are becoming
scarcer eahc day.
Manager Binmore informed Cisco
Bullivant over the long distance
telephone the other day that 125
pound boxing and 145 pound wrest-
ling would be their weights, but
that he didn't know where he could
pick up a 1853 pound wrestler or 115
pound boxer to go against the Spo.
kane entrants.
There is a possibility that Van,
| couver will forfeit two of the
events, but as the telephone com
munication was unofficial and the
| northerners have three weeks in
which to secure men, in all proba
bility boxer and wrestler will be
| sent against Mccoy and Gesek, the
local lads named for the tourney.
A week ago Boxing Instructor
Paris informed Fred Creel that a
1875 pound boxer and 15S pound
wrestler would be named against
Spokane. The wrestler has evil
IDENTITY deserted the club or is un.
able to make the trip.
A letter containing the official
weights is expected today or tomor-
row and then the question will be
decided definitely.
George Brechin will probably be
sent against the 145 pound wrest-
Ter, while Tommy Kelly will box
McCallum, the whirlwind mitt art
list from Vancouver. This match
alone will be worth the price OF
admission.

GREAT BILLIARD
MATCH COMING

There will be a great fight for
the amateur billiard title, now that
Chick Wright has turned profess
sional," declared Otto Niedorfer, S.
A. A. C. instructor last night.
Chick has opened hall in San
Francisco and now Conklin, Pop
penburg, Gardner, Jackson and a
few others can fight it out for the
honor of wearing the mantle worn
successfully by Demarest and
Wright.
Last year Conklin gave Wright
a hard fight for the championship,
and with Wright eliminated, Conk-
lin should cop first honors."
Demarest won so easily for sew
eral years that he "cabbed" the
championship tournament some
what, but the struggle between
Wright and Conklin last year set
the billiard fans on fire.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 22.-"He
knows the game and he's honest"
That's how the San Francisco
fight fan epitomizes the virtues of
Jack Welsh, the man most talked
of for the honor of refereeing the
fight between Jim Jeffries and
Jack Johnson. And to back up his
statement he can pull the book on
you and show you that his estimate
is correct. He took to boxing early
in life and is correct to T. 1t can
honestly be said of Welsh that not
once has decision of his been SER
iOusly disputed, the breath of scan
dial has never touched his name.
and above all he knows when it is
time to stop fight to save a boxer
needless punishment.
Welsh has been connected with
the fight game ever since he was
