8 TITE MORNING OREGONIAN, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1920 PUGILISTS TOP OFF iiKFoeeou T Gibbons and McCormick Are Ready for Title Clash. CHALLENGE IS RECEIVED "Chuck" Wiggins," Middle West Fighter, Wants to Meet Win ' ' ner of Wednesday Clash. Sunday did not mean a complete day of rest for TonJtny Gibbons or Boy McCormick, who will battle for the light-heavyweight championship of the world in the Milwaukle arena Wednesday night. Both men were forced to forego "one of those din ners" and keep up strict training rules. Gibbons and McCormick were up bright and early for a long walk. McCormick picking the Terwilliger boulevard, while Gibbons chose an other route for his run. Today will mark the windup of boxing until the participants enter the ring Wednesday night. Gibbons will work out at Ad Garlock's this afternoon with Marty Cutler while McCormick will go through his paces at the London club with Stanley Wil lis furnishing him some rough rounds. Fight Create Interest. The ten-round mill between Gib bons and McCormick is attracting more interest than any match that has ever bee a staged in this part of the country. The two gladiators were originally billed to tangle for the world's light-heavyweight cham pionship at the Milwaukle arena New Tear's day, but Gibbons was forced to call off the match because of sick' ness at his home in St. Paul. At that time some of the fight fans said some mean things abou Tommy to the effect that he did not want any of the rugged Irishman, game and that he would never return for the match. Frank Farmer took Gibbons' place New Year's day and was knocked out in the ninth roun after a terrific assault in that canto on McCormick's part. When the British champion steps through the ropes to test conclusion with Gibbons he will not be meet ing any Frank Farmers, but one of the greatest men in the ring today, providing it does not rain and make the turf soggy between now and then. Golfers have been playing temporary greens for several weeks at both the Waverley Country club and the Port land Golf club.

HIT'S FUTURE HAS FANS GUESSING Former Venice Outfielder Now Signed Wth Toledo. FAST MILL MEN DOWNED MCLTJfOMAH GUARD QUINTET WTXS BY 17-TO-12 SCORE. Astoria Basket Tossers Give Local Team Hardest Battle of the Season. Bob Lyman, who handles Lackey Morrow, the battler who was to have fought Weldon Wing six rounds, tele graphed yesterday that Morrow was sick in bed with boils and the grippe, which would force him to call off his bout with Wing. Matchmaker Frank Kendall either will get a worthy op ponent for Wing or put on a new bout of that caliber. The remainder of the banner card rs Stanley Willie vs. Harry Casey, eight rounds: Neit Zimmerman vs. Jack Barry, six rounds; and Leo Bell vs. Earl Zimmerman, four rounds. . Cnallenjpe Is Sent. "Chuck" Wiggins, the husky mid die western light-heavyweight, who recently returned from a successful Invasion of Australia with Tommy Andrews, has sent a challenge to the winner of the Tommy Gibbons-Boy McCormick match. Wiggins was a sparring partner of Jack Dillon when the "Giant Killer" was at his best. In practically every bout fought by Dillan "Chuck" held the sDonge. When Jack started to slip he slipped fast. One night he was matched to fight a big gent named Ray Smith. Incidentally, Smith is the fellow who took a decision over Bob Martin the other night. Smith stands six feet three inches and can hit like a steam hammer. Dillon started to circle in the cen ter of the ring and uncorked a swing ing right-hander. Smith ducked and retaliated by jabbing Dillon about seventeen times squarely upon the nose. Then he unloosened every punch that is known in the repertoire of fisticuffs. Jack was staggering around the ring blindly. Hoax Is Worked. . The bell clanged and Dillon ambled to his corner a mass of gore. Wig gins and the other Dillon handlers were frantic Realizing the fight could not go another round, "Chuck" decided to use strategy. When Dillon answered the bell for the second round "Chuck sneaked around to Smith's corner and heaved a sponge Into the ring. The referee, seeing the sponge, stopped the bout and awarded the victorv to Dillon. Jack stood in the rlnsr undecided whether to cry or kiss the official. He spotted Wiggins making motions and fading away. Dillon jumped from the ring. He didn't even put on his clothes. The crowd found that they had been duped and started after Dillon and Wiggins. They swung on. s train and got out of the town. SORTH PACIFIC BEATS PACIFIC Manager "Si" Simonsen of the Mult nomah Guard basketball team re turned last night with his basket tossers from Astoria, where they de feated the Hammond club five Sat urday night by the -score of 17 to 12 The Hammond team is the fa-test bunch of hoopers that t. e local team has run up against this season, ac cording to Simonsen, and the two for wards, Biddy Burns and Walt Mor gan of the millmen caused the Guardsmen considerable worry.

Report from Salt Lake is that the St. Louis Browns have been trying to get Bill Rumler back, but that the proposed deal has been blocked be cause the Browns could not deliver the players wanted. . One of these players, it is said, was Catcher Wal ter Mayer, who, when the Browns asked waivers, was claimed ty the New York Nationals. Salt Lake also wanted Johnny Tobin, according to the same report, but he hardly could be waived out of the majors. Bonus Up for Knockouts. MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 8. (Special.) Mike Collins, who runs fights here, stated today he would continue to offer bonuses for knockouts. So far, he declared, this method of spurring on battlers to their mightiest efforts had not cost him much. His last four bouts went to decisions.

NEW YORK, Feb. 8. Many boxers who served throughout the war in the trenches of France have rushed to the aid of Jack Dempsey in the contro versy now raging over the status of Dempsey during the late war. Every professional boxer who went to France has offered a testimonial to Dempsey and, further, has protested that the action of several American Legion posts has not been founded upon facts. Each of these boxers is a member of the legion. . Mike O'Dowd, the middleweight champion, has Issued a strong state ment in support of the heavyweight champion. O'Dowd declares that as a memhpr of the legion with three serv ! ntrines on Ms arm he cannot, in Justice to hlmseir or to tne esiuu, agree with the boycott of Dempsey. O'Dowd savs that he is well acquaint ed with Dempsey, knows Just what Dempsey did during the last three years and is perfectly satisfied that Dempsey did more than nis autj, BoxlnB Never Failed. "There is no Justice in the stand of some legion members," declares O'Dowd in a recent Interview. "Box ers worked desperately to help the country when help was needed. There was not a boxer who did not ao nis duty. Some of us went to tne iiring line and others kept up the good work In America. I personally know that DemDsey gave his time and money to aid every movement he pos sibly could. Maybe he did not wear the uniform, but I know a lot who did dress in khaki who did nothing but harm to the nation. I shall most certainly work to clear the name of Dempsey. He is hlameless. and if given a fair trial by the legion he will clear himself of the unfair stigma without irouDie. Ratner With Jack. Angle Ratner, who won the middle- weieht championship at the king's tournev and who, like O'Dowd, spent several months in France, is another who insists that Dempsey is being roughly treated by persons who know not what they are aoing. ainer in sists that Dempsey did not neglect an oDOortunity to help in the war and really did more than hundreds of those who wore uniforms and made rhe trip across the ocean. I know what the boxing rraternlty did during the war," says Ratner, and as a boxer I am extremely proud of that record. There was not a prominent boxer in the country, ex cepting possibly Jess Willard, who did not put his shoulder behind the ation and fight as hard as he could. Every trinlng camp was manned by boxer skilled in his profession. Every regiment had a boxer of abil ity as a member. Every division had team of boxers who had made their way in the ring. "Discredit All Boxers." In attempting to discredit Dempsey the American Legion is trying to dis credit all boxers and for this I cannot remain quiet. I have made an inves tigation of Dempsey anc. his war rec ord. It stands out as well as that of any citizen in a like capacity. The legion is making a sad mistake." Communications have come from Gene Tunney, Gene Delmont and a host of others who put aside their i gloves to shoulder a musket. All stand squarely behind Dempsey and insist that the champion be accorded a fair trial before he is convicted by the legion or anyone else. Some men who have returned from France seem t think that Carpen tier's war record has been painted in rather rosy colors by the Home Sector, as tne ionowing letters indicate: Sporting Editor, The World: Like thousands of others who fol low sports, I am interested in the pro posed bout between Jack Dempsey and Georges Carpentier. I know noth- ng about Dempsey's record as a sol dier, but I do know something about Georges Carpentier's. For this reason I protest against the comparison made in a magazine called the Home Sector, which seems to have gained wide circulation, between the two men. ! Having served 21 months in the :ir After a hearty meal you'll avoid that stuffy feeling if you chew a stick of Other benefits to teeth, breath, appetite, nerves.' That's a good deal to get for 5 cents! Vrench army, I kn -tr iiomething about Georges Carpentier, hero, as the Home Sector call3 him, .and would advise the editor and writer to look more closely into his war record before comparing it with others. It was not quite so heroic as many would have us believe. A VOLUNTEER. Sporting Editor, The World: If the A. E. F. had been made up solely of volunteers there would be an entirely different question involving Jack Dempsey's war record. The op position of certain members of the American Legion against Dempsey fighting Georges Carpentier in this country seems to me unfair. Dempsey, like many thousands of others, worked in a war industry which is most necessary in war times. As I understand, he was placed in the draft list as an essential of class 4. Probably De:rpsey could have vol- "FLOWERS THAT BLOOM IN THE SPRING, TRA LA." 4 k unteered for service and by doing so would .have been an Inspiration to men in his walk of life, as was Hank Gowdy, who was one of the first over and gave honorable service In the Rainbow division, but that is another question. I was in France for several months during hostilities, and from first-hand knowledge can say that Georges Car pentler, as Is usual in France, accord ing to military system, was a con script. The prizefighter trained Dijon as an aviator and was put In the Paris defense air corps. So far as known, Carpentier was never wounded. I have heard several well-meanli.g officers and men of combat divisions in France unmercifully criticize men who were serving in the service of supply far, far away from active war fare. But, on the other hand, if It had not been for the S. O. S. no army could be maintained In the front lines, I am holding no brief for Dempsey, but before final Judgment is passed his side of the story should be told and Carpentier's real war :corii pub lished.
