Trambitas stepped seven rounds against his sparring mates at the Oiymp.c. gym yesterday afternoon. He is nieasuiing his punches and land ing with telling effect in his daily training sessions. The eight-round semi-wlndup be tween Hairy Casey of Seattle and Willie St. Clair of Sacramento is ap pealing to the boxing followers, who look for a hard-fought fracas when the two tangle. Johnny Kiske should get the toughest argument that he has yet experienced in this part of the coun try when he stacks up against young Sam I.angford. the San Francisco tar baby.

OCCASIONALLY real life outstrips even .the movies. Such is said to be the case at the Star thea ter, which will open tomorrow for a week's run with "Shipwrecked Among Cannibals." This picture purports to show how a couple o men. sent by the Universal Film company to take films of a few harmless volcanoes, were shipwrecked on a savafre Island and ran Into a cannibal tribe, which was much more exciting- than any mere volcano. Of course the fact that the men were able to salvage their movie cameras from, the wreckage and take numerous closeups of the fearsome Kla-Kia head hunters inlRht suggest that some of the scenes lacked the charm of spon taneity that the Americans did. in deed, win the confidence of the na tives go far as to bring them close to the camera without kicking-. As a matter of fact the Photogra phers, after six months among these primitive roughnecks, are said to have WILLS CITED FOB BOUT XEGRO HELD BEST CONTEND ER FOR DEMPSEY. Color Line Prejudice May Prevent- Match Antipathy Aroused by Escapades of Johnson. Sporting v rlters who - re assuming It, a foregone conclusion that Jack Dempsey. heavyweight boxing cham pion of the world. Is going to defeat Georges Carpentier, the French heavy. weight, whenever they get in the ring, now are figuring on the possi bilities of a Dempsey-Harry Wills match. - Their figurng is based most ly from the point of view of the color scheme. Wills being a negro. Interest in the subject does not seem to wane, and it constantly Is be ing approached from new angles. Tex Rickard. the New York promoter of championship battles, and the lessee of Madison square garden, is reported to have made the statement that he would not match a negro and a white man for exhibitio - purposes In his establishment. There are few who think he would abldje by this decision In the event he saw an opportunity to make a good financial haul. He had no com punctions in the matter when he matched the negro. Jack JohnsonM against the ex-champion Jim Jef fries. - As far es the public Is concerned, there are many persons who are op posed to the meeting of the black and the white man, but it is equally true that there are aa many. If not more, who believe that a fighter is a fighter irrespective of h's color, and it a ne gro behavee himself - and comports himself according to Hoyle, he has as much right to make his llv'ng as the white man. Further, they do not hes itate to say that the white man who fakes or lies down to an opponent is many fold more unworthy to be ad mitted to the ring. Undoubtedly a great prejudice was arousea when Johnson was the cham pion, but many who have analyzed the feeling express the opinion that this feeling was more against John son himself and his escapades than against his color. No such feeling existed against Peter Jackson and other upstanding negroes who played their parts on the level, To many It seems inevitable that Dempsey and Wills sooner or later must face each other in the ring, for of all the second and third-rate heavyweights who now cumber up the scenery Wills seems to be by far the best. Both Wills an' Dempsey have flattened Fred Fulton, who was considered by many the only other man who could be accounted in the running, SHERWOOD IS GIVEX TITLE Honeyman Manager Decides to Let Final Game Lapse. On account of the fact that the Honeyman Hardware team is . unable to get its regular team together, Manager Rogoway has decided to let the Sherwood "Protestors" get away with the championship ot the Inter city league. The hardware dealers .. ... i W won the friendship of the native chiefs, and to have been allowed to eat hot dogs, or whatever i the favor ite delicacy with them. But before reaching that stage, to judge by the miles of pictures they took, they had enough narrow escapes and tight squeezes to keep even a country house party on edge. The revelations of native customs are very interesting, and tne scenery as picturesque as anything Joseph Urban could do while there isn't a. tingle close-up of a caterwauling fem inine star in the whole picture.

The major leagues are far from havlnc a monopoly on the uncertainties attendant on a close Jlnlsh, for the Pacific Coast League now li In the throes 'of one of the closest fintshe.. In the history of the or ganization. While Vernon appears to have a fairly good mortgage on the pennant, the fact is there have been so many re markable finishes In the various series during the last few weeks that the point hii been reacnea that fans can do no more than make wild guesses. Kesutts usually are based on the sup position that teams will finish a series with a margin of only one or two games between them, but when on team will make a clean sweep or taks all but one game, the best of calculations are upset It was Just this thing which resulted last week lrr a nasty tumble for the Salt I.akers, who fell from second place into illlh in the second division which m be rated as considerable of a Jolt to get out of a single series. This fact also Is eloquent of the closeness of the various teams. Another one or two such thresh ings administered during the next few weeks may again rearrange ail the ore conceived Ideas of the dopesters, who have had anything but an easy time making ineir preaictions come out right. e Seattle, which administered the setback to the Salt Lakers, was the team 4o make the" greatest gain, and it Is a coincidence mat they jumped from second division Into the tirst. They play Sacramento thl week at home and, according to all' th rules of luck and averages, they ought to make another appreciable gain, for the Senators have been far from going wll, as as they have not been on the long end of a series in six weeks, a tie being the best tney can snow during this interval. When It Is figured that the first five teams In the league started the present series witn only a margin of 32 points sep arating the first from the fifth team It readily csn be seen that there is cause for a certain timidity In predicting re sults, especially In view of the many one sided series which have been liberally In terspersed during the past weeks. Even the universal Interest whlKh is being taken in the final games of the major leagues has been Insufficient to detract from the race on the coast, which Is one of the most unusual ones that has been expe ncuceu. . In view of the disagreeable features which outcropped this season In connec tion with the various gambling scandals, and In view of the whole-hearted and sin cere efforts made by the officials of the league to bring to light and stamp out the evils, they- certainly are deserving of the conditions which now obtain in the race. It Is also fortunate for the game that the discharge and suspension of the var ious players alleged to have been mixed up In the shady proceedings has not. In the slightest, detracted from the interest, as it will ge a long way to prove that no one or two players, however popular they may be. are needed In the circuit if they cannot play the game aa it should be played. DAIRY LEAGUE IS SUED FALSE AND FRAUDULENT REP RESENTATION charged: John Znppa of Ban-don,.' Or., Seeks Cancellation ' of Contract Signed for 5 Years. BANDON. Or., Sept. 23. (Special.) Alleging false and fraudulent rep resentation on the part of one of its agents, John Zuppa, a local dairyman, has brought suit against the- Oregon Dairymen's league with the view of having the contract between him and the league cancelled. Zuppa.ls a native of Italy and is un able to read or write English. He al leges, that by reason of fraud and deceit, practiced upon him by Agent Keller, of the league, he was induced to sign the contract wichout knowing the contents or having the contract read or translated to him. Keller Is alleged to have tqld Zuppa that every dairyman in Zuppa's neighborhood had signed with the league, and that unless he (Zuppa) signed, there would be no available market for his milk. He is further alleged to have told Zuppa that the rxestle s Jjood company cohdensery at Bandon would close down, and that the league had acquired all other available markets for milk. and that the league would accept milk only from its members. The complaint filed by Zuppa also eUlegea that Keller represented to To Unit him that the 10 membership fee would be the only cost for the period cf five years, the life of the contract; that he was not informed tne league could put up his milk as security to borrow money. Zuppa declares that at the time Keller induced him to sign only about 50 per cent of the dairymen of his neighborhood had signed with the league; that the condensery is not going to shut down, and that the cost of the league to him is much more per month than the 10 membership fee. The case is of Interest to all dairy men of Oregon as It Is at least. In part, a test case involving the valid ity of the Oregon Dairymen's league contract. Zuppa Is represented In court by Attorneys Flegel, Reynolds, Flegel.ot Smith of Portland, and John D. Goss of Marshfleld. CASH. THEFTS REPORTED Man Robbed on Street and Hotel Room Enetred. T.

One thousand Zion school children ana nearly as many of their elders saw their first moving pictures last night when Overseer Wilbur Glenn Voliva lifted the church ban on the movies. the Man who is Interested in Truck Tire Economy CAREFUL truck owners are figuring their costs pretty closely these days tire costs along wifli. the others. It is no longer "clap on a new tire and hang the expense." At least, not with the owners we come in contact with. Service, wear, traction, cushioning qualities, construc tion are coming to mean more than they used to, not only to owners but to drivers of motor trucks. And the more they mean, the more we find truck owners and operators turning to the new United States Grainless Rubber Solid Truck Tire.
