night and arrived as a serious candi-
date for the heavyweight champion

All of the heavyweight title holders
since the days of John l.. Sullivan
with the possible exception of Bob
Fitzsimmons---were classed as jokes
for considerable period. Jeffries
made his ring debut as a sparing part

Johnson. when he first challenged JET
fries, was regarded as highly presump-
tuous. Jeffrics was so contemptuOus
of the black man that he suggested
that they go into q cellar and that the
man who came ont alive should be
classed as the heavyweight champion
This led to the famous Jack Johnson
epigram. "Ah amt no cellar fighter

ASKS FOR go MORE
DIVISIONS IN WEST

London, Jan. l5.-The Times mill
tary correspondent maintains that the
prolongation of the war, "as a result
OF the ioredoomcd failure of the peace
move, throws on all the allies the
duty Of making great efforts in order
to deserve victory. He says that Ger
many did not wait for reply to her
peace offer. but initiated measures a
month ago to expand her supply Of
men and munition. I'VE onght to see, -
the correspondent writes, clearly

HAVE CHANCE FOR TITLE
Bruins Will Make Good
Showing in First Year Of
Conference Games.

Has the Montana State University
basketball team a chance to win the
northwest championship in the hoop
game for the year of 1917? If the
Bruins had all their games on the home
floor. they would probably stand Il
good chance of taking first place. but
q long trip in February, when six con-
ference games will be played in the
enemies territory, will he such a
handicap as to put tho team on it's
mettle to. stay in the first division.
Last year Washington state college
won the championship of the north
western conference, but finished only
one game ahead of whitman college.
Boiler has won about four champion
ships in the eight years he has been
coaching the basketball team at Pull
man and has always been dangerous
contender for the title. The Washing
ton State team played two games here
last year, winning one and losing one
in n close battle. "A to 25, but on THEN
| easy.
The Oregon Aggies will have team
to be reckoned with, although it has
not played a conference game as yet
The University of Oregon has been out
of the game for a year, and by its
showing in the one game played, will
give somebody a hard fight for the
cellar position. The University of Wash.
ington, after winning two consecutive
championships, finished next to the
bottom last year, and the material Is
not much better this year. Captain
Davidson of the Seattle team takes
upon himself the duties of coach II

Iward positions. sse-t
| The University Of Idaho, was no
able to win a game last year, but hope!
Yfor better luck this year. Edmund

The Montana basketball teams o
years gone by have never been abb
to win game from a Northwest con
ference team on.a foreign floor. Tw
years ago Washington State colieg
won two games from Sam Crawford
Bruins. while last year they were de
feated both at Pullman and at Mos

Attack md Defense.

Football leaders waited only a year
or two before chopping away certain
sections of the defence to give the at
tack chance.
Those in charge of baseball, or most
of them. have taken little interest in
the matter of building up q more at
tractive game. They are willing enough
to admit that the defence has all the
best of it and that entirely too many
ball games are merely duels between
two pitchers with the rest of the cast
rarely involved in the days contro-
yersy.
But admitting this. they are content
To forget it and pass along to other de-
tails.
II making the game any more at
tractive to the spectator is any part of
the desire or thought of baseball lead
ers, the least that can be done is this:
/. Eliminate the spitball, or the APP
plication of any outside matter to the

3. Have a stricter balll interpreta

These requests were presented to the
national commission at It's recent

sion replied concerning the first one
only because that was the only one
concerning major league players. and
the other requests could be taken up
by the commission only on. an appeal
from the hearing Of the national board
|of the minors association. Regarding
the first request. the commission
showed that no. major league contract
ever contained q clause permitting 1t
to suspend without pay players injured
on duty and followed by giving the
disability clause inserted in the new
contracts. which makes it still stronger
in favor of the player.
