Slowly but surely there IS creep

a mistake to call off all sports. From

stopping Of all sports gave rise to a
little real hard work done either in
the class room or in the field. The
colleges have simply marked time. AL

Ban Johnson Not Sure
of His Job I'm Tacoma's
Famous Night League

There'll be high jinks in Taco
ma Monday night when the Amer
ican Night league holds its first
meeting OF the season.
The league adjourned last sea-
son, after Bill Carrigan had won
the pennant from New York, with
banquet at the Olympus. Mon
days reunion of all league direc-
tors, called by request of Clarence
Rowland Carl Myers will be
held at Myers residence, 1905
X street. Earl has promised a
fine luncheon for the directors,
and there will be music and talks.
There will undoubtedly be some
wrangling at the league meeting,
and for that reason the directors
have attempted to hush things up.
There is some doubt as to whether
Ban Johnson will be seated or not.
Leo Kellogg formerly held that
office, but Frank Leslie claims
Johnson's seat this time. Whether
Leslie Will act as president of the
Night league or not, remains for
the directors to decide.

This Mack Person
Is Liable to Show
Paul a Few Things

Wnen Paul Steele of Tacoma
meets Willie Mack Monday night
in the main event of a boxing
card at Steele's gymnasium, he
won't be facing any spring chick
en-.
Mack is a boxer of even more
experience, and probably more
ring victories than Steele can lay
claim to. And the chances are
reported to be very good that the
plucky Tacoma boy may have the
time of his life trying to keep both
feet on the mat.
When Paul signed Mack for the
bout, he did not pay any attention
to his opponents record. But dur
ing the past week, out of curios-
ity Steele has studied the dope a
bit. The Tacoma boxer is still
game to put up scrap against
Mack, but he isn't half as conf
dent as he has been in other bouts.

geles. After making quite an
amateur record he started on The
road in 1908, getting much tom-
ment in San Francisco for his
ability. Since that time Mack has
toured the entire west, and the Pc
culiar thing about him is that he
has won most of his battles with
a knockout.
In 1909 Mack was member of
Jim Coffroth's stable of Califor-
mans. More recently he was DoX-
ing instructor of the Four AS
(Austoria Amateur Athletic Asso-
ciation).
Among some of the men he has
beaten in the past few years are

Stone, Eddie Danaher, Jimmie
Konkel, AL Rogers, Jack Allen,
