(By Willie Hoppe.)

The billiard situation cleared very
appTeclably as result of the recent

with Morningstar, brings me a little
closer to chance to compete for the
1872 title. 1t is true that Albert Cut

the championship, but my challenge

be prepared to play the winner of that

Whitman Takes the
First From Idaho

By the one sided score of 80 to 9,
the Whitman college basketball team
last night defeated the Cnlversity of
Idaho quintet in an exceptionally in
teresting and exciting contest, played
in the college gymnasium. This game
is the first of the final series of in
tercollegiate contests being played
here this season, and was character
lied by the exceptional team work of
the local aggregation. and the clever
guarding on both sides. Although the
Muscovites put up a strong fight, es-
pecially during the last few minutes
of play they We're outclassed by the
Whitman lads in almost every stage
of the game.
When the Idaho players rushed up
on the floor for few moments of
practice in the Whitman cage, their
brilliant basket throwing from long
distances surprised every one present
and gave the impression that the Mis-
siOnaries would soon enter into one of
the hardest contests of the season, but
their clever work seemed to fail them
when they bucked up against the fast
and husky local team. 1t is the opin-
ion of many of the local college stu
dents that the Idaho team saved their
main strength for the game tonight
So far this season they have made a
record that is about equal to that of

his action.
Never before in the history of the
ring has championship title changed
hands without the champion at least
being knocked down. Once Nelson was
saved from a probable fall by the ropes,
when he was weak, but it can be said
of him that he was beaten standing
up and endeavoring to force the bat
tie to the very end. He cried out pro-
test as soon as he realized what had
happened, but his seconds carried him
back to his corner and out of the ring.
There We're few stages in the fight
in which Nelson was dangerous. Those
of YOU who have seen the Dane in act
ion remember what a ripping punch
he had in the clinches and how he
could fight while wrestling with his
opponent. 1t was different story last
TUESDAY afternoon, for Wolgast out
fought and outboxed him, and all that
Nelson could do was to wait for
chance to land his dreaded right.
Just once. in the 22d round. it looked
as if Nelson would score victory. He
sent a right to the stomach that
knocked Wolgast clear across the ring.
Then he landed another right that
sent the Michigan boy to his launches
Wolgast was undoubtedly groggy as
he stood on his feet, but Nelson
weakened bv the loss of blood, was un-
equal to the task of rushing his man
and the round closed without further
results In the next round, the Battier
did little more than hold his own, and
after that II was in easy matter TO
predict his defeat.
The succeeding rounds were tireso1ne
to watch and altogether one-sided. Mel
son had lost everything save his IN
domitable courage to press forward
For all that, Wolgast continued ms
careful cautious fight.

House FdVOrS
Townsend Bill

WASHINGTON, Feb 2S.-By a ma
jority of two, the house committee on
interstate commerce today voted to
one of the principal features of the
Townsend administration railroad bill.
This provision the president nd the
attorney general have been fighting
to have kept in the bill. The vote in
the committee was 10 to 8. Chairman
Mann, Representative Stevenson of
Minnesota, republicans, and Represen-
tativeS Adamson of Georgia, Richard
son of Alabama, Bartlett of Georgia,
Russell of Texas, Sims of Tennessee
and Peters of Massachusetts, demo-
Gratis, voted against the measure.
Those voting for the court were
Representatives Wanger of Pennsyl-
vania, Esch of Wisconsin, Townsend
of Michigan. Kennedy of Ohio, Know
land of California, Hubbard of West
Virginia, Miller of Kansas, Stafford of
Wisconsin, Calder of New York and
Washburn of Massachusetts,.
The committee adopted with minor
amendments the first six sections of
the Townsend bill, all of which relate
to the court, and mad just reached the
seventh section relating to the tariff
agreements when it adjourned. 1t will
consider the rest of the bill section by
section and probably will be able to
order a favorable report on the bill
by the end of this week.
An important amendment adopted
by the committee was a section of the
Mann bill referring to classifcations.

result they have agreed to issue joint

city as a fighter, but the fact that

the Whitman FIVE, and the big lead
which the Missionaries got over them
was a great surprise to every one who
has been watching the record and COM
pairing the scores made by the two
teams.
Throughout the game Cox and Belt
were watched SO closely and held down
so well by the Muscoites that it was
with the greatest of difficulty that they
succeeded in making any field goals at
all. Both, however, played their usual
strong game, by clinching the ball and
passing it on to Barnes and Mccoy,
who tossed it into the basket with
great accuracy. Schubert, the plucky
guard for Whitman, played one of the
fastest games that he has put up this
season. On the other hand, Edmun-
son and Lundstrom for Idaho played
excellent ball.
Tonight's contest will be the last
game of the season that has been
scheduled by Manager Howard Baker
to be played in this city. The last
game of the series will take place in
Moscow, when the Whitman team goes
north to meet Washington State college
for the northwestern championship.

made him respected. Naturally, At
tell was rated a favorite here, and it
Is conceded that Conley must be some
thing of fighter.
Monte is hardly cut out for the long
that the distance tired him and made
it easy for Conley to win in the clos
ing stages. For a matter of 20 rounds
Attell is a great little fighter.

UMPIRE TO BE CHIEF MORE
THAN EVER IN BASEBALL
Revised Rules Emphasize Importance
of Umpire-DoubIe Umpire System
Is Planned.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2S.-This season
more than ever before in the history
of baseball the umpire will be the
reigning power on the diamond. the
most striking feature of the revised
rules which have just been given out
here, is the Importance which umplres
and duties of umpires hold in the mind
of revisionists. The innovation is gen
orally held to be a result mainly of the
efforts of President Lynch OF the Ma
tional league, who used to be an UNI
pire himself and is thoroughly famil-
ar with the handicaps under when
that official labors.
A double umpire system for all
games is officially established by the
new rules. The umpire in chief, sta
toned behind the bat, will have full
charge of the game and will alone have
full authority to declare a game for
feited. The field umpire will have full
authority in removing and filming play
ers.
The two officials must work in har-
n.ony and in case a point Is ralseo
on decision, one umpire may ask Tor
reformation from the other. But one
umpire will not interfere with the
other unless requested.
The revised rules give the umpire
absolute power over the players on the
bench This feature has long been
hcbhv with the National league presl-
dent and aims to do away with all
the rowdyism from that quarter which
has frequently disturbed the game IN
the past.
A new rule gives the base runner
the privilege of turning to either the
right or left after touching first base
where heretofore he was compelled to
turn to the right.

Murphy Wins
Says Referee

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 2S.-With
both lads on their feet after 20 rounds
of desperate fighting, Referee Eddie
Smith declared Harlem Tommy
Murphy of New York winner over
Owen Moran, Englands crack light
weight. The decision was jeered and
Moran frantically protested, claim
ing he had been robbed.
The fight throughout was practic
ally a bloodless one. Murphy scored
first blood in the ninth round with a
singing left smash on the nose and
Moran evened this up by cutting the
Harlemite's right eye in the 18th. Be
yond this, however, the fighters bore
no marks of punishment after their
20 stirring rounds.
Moran had the advantage during
the first half of the battle. He forced
the pace and several times pushed
Murphy outside of the ropes. Moran's
favorite blow was a right hook to
rights which he worked with great
rapidity over the kidneys. Murphy
met these attacks with straight left
punches to the jaw, his most telling
blows, which Jared the Britisner on
several occasions.
The 18th round was the best one.

point in favor of the New Yorker

with left hooks and left swings to the
Jaw, Moran countering with right
stomach punches.
In the 18th round the Harlem fighter
dazed the little Englisl man with
succession of right and left chops on
the jaw Moran came up strongly
in the last round, forced the fighting
and at one time had Murphy in dis
tress so desperately did he fay the

ended with both men strong and fight
ing tooth and nail for the advantage
Referee Smith promptly declared Muir

ting at odds of Is to 6. The general
opinion Of fight followers is that Meth

worthy feoman for Champion Wolgast
