BASKETBALL INVENTED TWENTY
YEARS AGO; NOW THIRD SPORT

Basketball, the third American
game in point of popularity, is with
us once more. Football died in Spo-
kane Saturday, and basketball will
reign supreme for several months.
What do you know about the game?
Z. Basketball was invented about 20
years ago at the Y. M. c. A. train
ing school. Springfield Mass, to
supply. q definite need for competi-
tive indoor work.
About the team. The most es-
sential thing in the success of a
team is to secure good center
q man who is a good jumper. It is
he who directs the ball to the play
ers. Outjump the other fellow, and
his team has a decided advantage
from the. start. In addition to this.
the center must be good goal
tosser and a guard of no mean abil.

Hard experts who started in right.
For hours at a time Perkins kept
him at one shot, keeping at it I'M
til his execution is wonderful. His
ability to keep his head under
fire, with little luck, is what
won for him.
In. billiards as in anything
else, there is an element of luck
which often turns the tide. A good

run a hundred, bad leave handi-
caps the other fellow, while Il Sec

his errors may lose many games.
A player to be successful must
be aggressive. This does not mean
that he should rough-house and foul
his opponent, but aggressiveness,
combined with skill in avoiding a
foul, is happy combination.
Team work is a most essential
thing these days. No matter how

it lacks team work five composed

BEST CARD OF THE YEAR AT
TOMORROW NIGHTS SMOKER

With the Portland Spokane inter
club smoker one day off, Bullivant
and Creel are putting their men
through the final period of train
Ing. Each of the S. A. A. c. defend
ers have made their weights with
comparative case and are in the
finest possible condition for the
fray
Judging from the advance sale of
seats, the club gymnasium will be
even morec rowded than on the
night of the Seattle-Spokane
smoker on November 10. This
months card promises to be a
much better one than was pre-
scented in November, with classier
main events, and a number of rat
Ting good preliminaries.
Portland Names 1876 Pound Event.
Cisco Bullivant received the Off
cial entries of the Multnomah club
yesterday. The following have been
named: 105 pound boxing, ]. j.
Tunney; 1875 pound boxing, Donald
s. Numbers: 135 pound wrestling,
H. Nelson Nose; 15S pound wrest-
ling, f. E. Vinson.
It will be noticed that Portland
names a 1876 pound boxing class,
with Numbers as their fighter. Spo-
kane decided to concede five
mounds to Numbers and allow him
to box at 100.
There is no 135 pound class in
this smoker" said Bullivant last
night. III Numbers cannot make
1870 pounds, Portland must forfeit

named by Portland, is last years

Portland Changes Policy.
Portland evidently intends MAX

championship this year, judging
from their importation of j. j. Tun-
ney, the Aberdeen champ, and
their efforts to secure Harry Stone,
the Hope, Idaho, lad who has joined
Crecis staff.
Heretofore Portland has been
content with using Dranga. Nieken
and West regularly. picking up
enough gymnasium lads to fill out
their teams. Il. G. Buckles took a
trip to Idaho to sign up Stone. but
the Hope lad had already promised
Creel 10 box for the 8. A. A. c.,

AN ENGLISH OPINION
OF ROOSEVELT

A few months ago President RSoose-
welt was held in high esteem by
Englishmen, but since he sent his
annual message to congress English
sentiment toward him has undergone Il
marked change. This is evidenced by
the following cable dispatch to the New
York Sun:
It is impossible to ignore altogether
the complete change of attitude which
has taken place in the last year in the
English press and among Englishmen
vt large toward the chief magistrate of
the United States The English people
are seldom inclined to openly criticise
their friends, and moreover, they are I'M
willing to incur misconception through
their structures upon an individual
being interpreted rs an Indication of
lack of good will toward those whom he
represents. The eff ut Of this state of
mind, SO far us the press is concerned,
has been for some time a growing cold
ness, comments upon presidential actions
and utterances assuming perfunctory
character.
The developments Of the last fort
night, however, have been of such a
nature that even friendly critics have
been leu to speak openly 1t would be
easy to quote manifold comments from
the best opponents of public opinion in
the nature of rebulIe to President Roose-
welt for his lack of restraint and his
undignified language. A single ex
ample in the Globe, however, will show
the trend of English feeling. The ar
ticle says:
Roosevelt is 50 great IL man in many
respects that it is IL Thousand pities that
he cannot contrive to b. greater. The
Office which he still holds is one of the
highest to which any human being can
aspire and the enormous power for good
which it confers has upon the whole
been w0rthily exercised by it's present
occupant. 1t is, therefore, with feel
ings of regret and repulsion that we
see the president of the United States
descending into the CUTTERS of con-
troversy and endeavoring to outvie the
very Bowery of New York in the vio-
lSICH ttlltl COuTSellcSS Ol Ills Ills
is the true lese majestic and it is in
finitely more damaging to the dignity
of a great ruler than any foolish gibes
from the outside can ever be. 4
Roosevelt talks of lying, Of black
mail and of scurrilous libel. He de-
clares that his parliament is deeply con-
cerned over the fact that secret service
agents arc investigating the conduct of
it's members and recommends the
criminal prosecution of a newspaper
which has dared to attack his govern
nent. Roosevelt had far better recon-
mend the prosecution of himself for the
heinous offense of degrading the presi-
Dental Office by mingling in sordid
and disgusting disputes.
THE ginger which, to use his own
words, he impaired TO Taft's campaign
has evidently entered his own system,
and the result is very melancholy
spectacle. 1t was betrayal alike of
the traditions of a great Office and of
the simplest canons of good taste even
to throw himself into the campaign at
all; having done so and having sue
ceeded, he might surely have spent the
last few months of his occupancy of
the White house in an atmosphere of
personal dignity. To preserve to the
