The second Of the Father and Son
Bowling league games were played on
the Y. NC. A. alleys. In the beginning
OF zach game the Giants started out
strong but could not stand under the
strong scores made by Emery and Son.
Smith and Lawrence were the stronger
ones in the Giants. The men who are
not as accustomed to the game did very
well and with a little practice they
will undoubtedly show up well.

RUGBY COACHES
Powers Behind the Football
Throne Think They Can
Straighten Out Mixup
BY WILLIAM UNMACK

That the Pacific association is anx-
ious TO clear up the question OF pro-
fessional and amateur status in local
football was evidenced last night,
when the registration COMMITTEES
paved the way for men who have
received money as football coaches to
gain amateur cards, provided such
applicants have abandoned coaching
for money. Any man who is receiv-
ing money for his services at the
present time will not come under this
favorable ruling of the association.
and the acceptance of these men who
have quit coaching is subject to final
action by the governing body in New
York
The action of the COMMITTEES will be
welcomed in football circles and will
undoubtedly clear the atmosphere OF
what was somewhat exaggerated
affair
Last night w. Won Mandersheid of
the Olympic club and G. Faulkner of
the Barbarian club were given anna
teur cards. Won Mandersheid easily
proved that he had never taken a cent
for helping the school teams gain an
insight into the game.
The football situation here is a
peculiar one and does not exist in any
other part of the country. The rule
on which the registration acted last
night Is as follows:
ANY person receiving compensa-
tion for any services performed in
any capacity with any athletic games,
or In an athletic club, will be ineligi~
bic to represent such club In games
under the rules OF the Amateur Ath-
letic union until he shall have per-
manentIy abandoned such employ
ment"
All registered athletes who have
played with the Barbarians and Oiym-
pics will be given immunity from
disqualification under tho circum-
stances. and no further action will
be taken in the matter. in so far as
these athletes are concerned The
Pacific association. however, will con-
fer with the Rugby union tomorrow
and the whole situation Will be
thrashed out

but Lacks Former Speed

One Round Hogan came half way

Tommy Mcfarland and he might
have done even better had his oppo-
nent stood up and fought him instead
Of indulging in wrestling and clinch-
ing tactics throughout It was a
good decision and IT seemed TO strike
the popular chord, for there was no
outcry
It was q different Hogan than the
one who used to strike terror into the
/ hearts Of the four FOUNDERS some
three years ago. The Hogan of to-
day lacks the dash and the steam and
the punching ability of the Hogan of
yesterday He tried desperately last
evening and perhaps he realizes now
that the comeback act is the hardest
Of ali the others IN the lighting game
Hogan rushed at Mcfarland in the
I opener, and after a few light ex-
changes little Tommy hooked a right
to the jaw Of his man and all but sent
him on his back. Hogan stalled and
hung on and tried hard with his right
hand uppercut. The balance of the
round was devoted mostly to clinch-
ing, for Mcfarland refused to stand
UP and exchange wallops with his
man
The second spasm also was a series
of elinches and catch-as-catch- can
movements. Hogan's Judge of distance
was bad. and when he would start one
Of those sweeping swings of his
Tommy would crawl under II, get in
close and fight for the body In this
way the spectators were robbed OF the
clean, open fighting which they like
sa we'll and which Hogan used to excel
at.
The one rounder rushed Mcfarland
and wrestled him down to the third.
He also fell on top of his man and
was loudly Kissed for his foul tactics
This was the main feature Of the
round, aside from McFarland's bear
like work Tommy would have made
a great little wrestler He missed his
vocation.
Round four found them both des-
perate. but in different ways. Hogan
wanted to fight in the. open. McFar-
land refused They compromised by
pulling and tugging and trying for
shortarm body jo1ts. Hogan threw
Mcfarland through the ropes, and
once more the wrath of the crowd
was upon him They were tugging
away when the bell sounded. and
Referee Frank SchuIer called it a
draw. which was a very fair decision.
Little Johnny O'Leary, the north

made a game battle against Babe
Picato Of Los Angeles and got draw
for his pains. This was easily the best
beat OF the evening Picato almost
