WONDERFUL PERFORMANCES BY NEW YORKS BOYS
SEVEN YEAR-OLDS CLEAR OVER SEVEN FEET IN JUMP

Il feet 1862 inches. The schools
record follows:
Fifth year. 6 feet 5.S15S inches;
sixth year, 6 feet 10.31S2 inches;
seventh year, z feet 2.3281 inches;
eighth year, z feet 7.4140 inches.
What's the matter with the
school boys of Spokane? Why
not have a public school athletic
league here? l don't see that New
York boys have any reason to run
better, jump better, hurdle better
Or vault better than our boys.
If the board of education won't
help you out, boys, get busy and
organize your own league, and
maybe when you show them the
way, the fellows who decide what
books you shall study out of will
use some of the money they are
spending for the three RS to edu-
cate your bodies.
Who knows but Jimmy Rector,
or Tommy Connect, or a Johnny
Hayes, or a Myer Prinstein may
be right here in town, waiting to
be developed? And what better
chance will you have than right
now, when you are kids, to learn
| the rudiments of athletics.
Get together. Get after your par
ents and start something. Then let
The Press know what you are 60
ing to do and perhaps together we
can stir up the board and induce
it to do something for you.
Come on, fellows, get together.

IF it can be arranged with the

gladly give them couple of games
at least, would suggest about
April 10 for the first game, for we

Though we are going to train over

over here.

ROLLER DIDN'T PROVE
SUPERIORITY OVER
ORDEMAN IN MA TCH

(By United Press Leased WIre)
SEATTLE. Feb. 11.-Followers of
the wrestling game who witnessed
the contest between DR.. Roller Of
Seattle and Henry Ordeman Of
Minneapolis last night are today
much divided in their opinions as
to which Of the wrestlers Is the bet
ter man. Although Roller was
awarded the match on a foul by
Referee Hermann after he had se-
cured one fall from Ordeman, many
of the spectators expressed their
displeasure at Ordemans disquali
fication, declaring that the Mime
apolis Swede did not use the
strangle hold, as claimed by the
referee.
The match was fiercely contest
A>and it was not until one hour
and six minutes of the toughest
sort of work that Roller pinned
Ordeman's shoulders to the mat for
the first fall. The second bout
went "a minutes and 81 seconds and
was stopped by the referee, who
awarded the match to Roller.
Several previous decisions of
Hermann had aroused the ire of
many of the spectators, and when
Ordeman was disqualified for clap
ping head scissors on the physi-
clan there were yells of disap-
prevail from all over the crowded
house. The head scissors Is not a
foul unless 1t is so used as to shut
off the other wrestler's wind, in
which case it becomes strangle
hold. Ordeman insists that he did
not cut off Rollers wind, merely
gripping his mans head in his
knees. Hermann declares the hold
was of the strangle variety, and
Roller Is sure of it, for he admits

The most astounding records
were those made by public school
No. 30. which captured the fifth,
sixth, seventh and eighth year
championships of the city.
Both the seventh and eighth
year classes averaged over seven
feet. Just think of it! Little
shavers in a seventh year class
clearing better than seven feet In
a standing broad jump-every one
of them! Why, they are regular
frogs.
Seven feet for a standing broad
Jump is a pretty good performance
for an average man. And II you
don't think so get out and try 1t
yourself. The highest grade aver

he was all in when the referee
clawed the big Minnesotan off him.
The concensus of opinion ap-
pears to be that Ordeman had the
advantage throughout the match
and that Roller was extremely for
tunate to gain the first fall, which
came Immediately after Ordeman
had let go of hold at the demand
of Referee Hermann. Roller saw
his chance and put his opponent on
his back like a flash before Orde-
man realized what had happened.
The men probably will be match
ed for another contest.

NEW AUTO
 LAW EXPECTED
Connecticut Automobile Club Prepares to be Represented
 at Hearings

:. At the meeting. of the directors Of the Connecticut Automobile Club held at the Hotel Elton, Waterbury. last Work of the American Automobile As sociation, (the National body). An ac- count of recent undertakings and ac- tivities was given by c. H. Gillette, of Hartford one of the directors, and sense of the discussion was that the Connecticut Automobile Assn. should do everything in it's power to ;tid and sustain the National organi- zation.
 The one great thing which the Amer ican Automobile Assn. is working for is the establishment of Federal reg istration law so that automobilists them to any part of the country. It is believed that eventually this de- s.rable condition will be realized.
 C. NJ. Robinson of New Haven made a report regarding a recent visit made by Secretary John J. Brooks of Tor rington. F. A. Strong of Bridgeport and himself to the headquarters of the 4. A. A. where they were cordially received and the workings of the var ious departments of the A. A. A. fully explained Under the direction Of A. 6 Batchelder, chairman of the exc
 
 the new secretary. the affairs of the A A A have progressed smoothly and with better results than ever be- fore.
 The Connecticut Automobile Assn. has recently instituted an active cam pa ign for new members in the smaller cities and towns where there is no automobile club and has met with gratifying success. c. M. Robinson, as chairman of the committee reported the addition of several additional names and plans were made to fur ther extend this work in various parts of the State. Later the committees agent will be put to work in some Of the cities where clubs exist in or der to strengthen the membership of the clubs.
 The possibility of a new automobile law being passed by the next session of the legislature was seriously con <idered and arrangements were made 10 be properly represented at legis- Ia tive hearings when the question should come up. There was an un- mistakable sentiment among the di- been taken out there should be no further assessment made upon the automobile by the city or town in which 1t was located. This is in ac- cordance with the new law in New York State which provides for only one assessment Ilduc III SCSolii Sh State license and the license fees in New York State are less than in Con necticut.
 ' Some of the inside history of the manner in which the automobile bill was beaten out of its original shape between the time it was passed by the legislature and the time 1t reach- ed the Governor was given. It was also +I~ sense of the meeting that in aiIsfairness, and as a matter of safe ty ak vehicles should be equipped with lights at night.
 The directors were the guests of the Automobile Club of Waterbury, Pres Fitzsimons acting as host and the splendid lunch served by Landlord Judd who is an enthusiastic automo- bilist New Haven, Hartford, Water bury.

ColfaX. NoX. 17.-Judge Pickrell
OF Whitman county has given an i'm
portant decision in favor OF the State
Railway commission in the test case
made by the Oregon Railway x NaVi-
gauon company. Judge Pickreil i'm
posed a fine OF $1,000 on the railway
company tor failure 10 build a depot
at Hay station, as ordered by the
commission. The railway company
refused to build a depot according to
location, also failed in time given by
the commission and did not install an
agent as instructed.
About 80 similar cases over the
state are waiting the decision Of the
Hay case which was made a test, the
railway company claiming the com
mission did not have power to order
such improvements. The action was
brought in Whitman county by the
attorney general at the request Of the
commission. For some time the Hay
station has been greatly in need of a
depot and agent. The railway com
pany placed a small depot on a high
bank where teams could not reach it
Photographs of the depot were USED

Modern Language Faculty Increased

Owing to the crowded condition of
the German department of the State
College the Board of Regents have
secured the services of an additional
instructor. Miss Bessie Callingham
of New York city has been engaged
to take charge of the overflow classes
and she arrived in Pullman this week
to take up her new duties. The new
instructor speaks German fuently,
having spent more than fifteen years
in Germany, and having been edu-
Gated from childhood in the German
schools. Miss Callingham arrived
only last year in America, coming
directly from Berlin after her long
sojourn in Europe. Her services
will be a valuable addition to the al
ready finely equipped department of
modern languages and the institution
is fortunate in securing such a com
petent instructor.
