PLEASANT READING

My only books were women's looks
Wrote Tom Moore, Lucky fellow!
That's if the same were lit with flame
That made them warm and mellow;
For women can, when they SO plan,
By charms they own securely,
Make their sweet looks such pleasant books
That they speak volumes. surely.

Whitman Wins Third
Game From ''AgqieS"

The Whitman college Varsity basket
ball team annexed the third and de-
Gliding game of the series played with
Oregon Agricultural college last night
in the Whitman gymnasium to the tune
Of 81 to 20. This makes two games to
Whitman's credit against the web
footers' one, and places Captain Belts
team in line for the championship,
Pullman being the only dangerous
stepping block. Should Whitman take
two games from Pullman now, she
would be champion Of the "big six
and there is every indication, from the
way they showed up last night, that
she will do it,
In spite of the inclemefft weather
which prevailed last night a large
crowd of enthusiastic students and
interested basketball fans of the city
braved the elements and were reward
ed for doing so by seeing one of the
fastest, closest and most exciting
games of the season. The game last
night was replete with brilliant play
ing by the men of both sides, and the
splendid work which was done by the
guards of the two teams accounts for
the comparatively low score. The
game was easily as fast as the recent
contest with Washington State col
lege but was nowhere nearly as
rough The men played hard an(
clean. Referee Apologize, who ran the
game did splendid work. His decisions
were impartial and he refereed wha
was difficult game.

CONLEY WINS
FROM ATTELL

JEFFRIES ARENA, LOS ANGIE
LES, Feb. 22-FranlSie Conley of Ken
osha, Wis, knocked out Monte Attell
of San Francisco today in the And
round of fight that was scheduled
for 40 rounds. Conley emerged from
the free encounter without a scratch
while Attell lay on the floor for two
minutes after receiving Conley's fin
| ishing blow on the jaw, his left eye
entirely closed and badly discolored;
his mouth and nose bleeding and his
! lips swollen and bruised. His seconds
i did not wait for the referee to count
| him out, but threw up the sponge as
the fallen fighter Strengthened his
limbs and rolled on his back five sec
onds after he had fallen.
| Conley danced to his corner, conf
dent Atten could not get up and that
he had won the bantumweight cham
pionship and the McCarey diamond
belt that goes with it.
ConIey's Defense InprenetabIe.
| Attell never seemed to be able to
break through Conley's defense. When
they mixed it, he was always the ag-
Gressor but nearly always got the
worst OF the exchange.
! Attell perceptlbly weakened In the
! 23rd round when Conley landed ter
rifle drive with his right under the
heart and he was going down hill from
that point on to the finish. In the
9th Conley fought him to the ropes
and in the mixup Attell turned his
| back on COnley and started to run.
! Conley was on to him like a flash
and the gong saved Attell from a
knockout at this juncture.
/ Attell started the 42nd round with
| his usual rush but slipped and fell
on all tours. Conley waited for him
, to rise and then staggered him with
| a series of lefts and rights. AS he
came away from a clinch Attell was
dazed by jabs to his face and turned
| his back to run. COnley suddenly
drove his right to the jaw, and the
| fight was over.
! Attell's friends said after the fight
that he was not trained as thoroughly
as he might have been but they did
| not attribute his defeat to this fact al
| together, but rather to the fact that
Conley puzzled him with his defense
and was able to withstand a lot of
fearful punishment.

Bob Brown, the newcomer of the
Vancouver ball club, announces that he
is about ready for the spring training
season to begin. Bob did some energetic
housekeeping after he got hold of the
Vancouver club and there will not be
many of the men who represented
ancouver last year on his pay roll this
season:
Following IS the list of players Civ

Catchers-Joe Sudgen. Dick Boettin-
ger, Flanagan, Burridge, Laid ard Do

First base, Bobby James; second
base, Billy Quigley or Dick Breen;
third base, Smith or Broadbent; short
stop, Scharnweber, Brown and Samp-
son.
Outfielders-Charley Swain, George
Capron, Croker, Tallant, Adams Bas-
sey and Pierce.
A report comes from Portland that
Bassey secured his release from Nc
Credie and that he could not be turned
over along with Adams, Croker ano
the rest, but Brown includes his name
in his list.
Neither Smith or Broadbent is up to
league caliber as an infielder, so Brown
may use Brinker on first, Bobby James
on second and switch Breen over to
third Or maybe he will put through
deal for a slugging first baseman ano

make this switch, using Brinker either
in the box or in the outfield.
Adams is a pretty good fiy-chaser
and he looks much better in the pasture
than he does in the infield, SO Brown
may use Swain, Capron and Adams In
the outfield. All that will work out In
the spring practice.
Brown is not certain yet that Dick
Boettinger will report. Dick is in busl-
ness at Aberdeen and may conclude to
stay out of baseball for another year.
Sugden will be Vancouver's first string
catcher anyway the chances are, for
DESPITE his age the veteran still puts
I'D a good game behind the bat and
he can outhit most of the young catch
ers who try to supplant him.

last season that he is a good young
pitcher and if Erickson, Jensen, Rush.
