Johnny Buff. American flyVeitrht
and world's bantamweight champ,
holds his place unecurely. Johnny'8
division Is chockful of good boys.
They are so numerous that It would
require much space evert to name
them all. But there Is a host of good
ones, of whom several are better all
around men than Buff, o It wouldn't
be surprising to see the banty crown
chancre hands at any time.
Amonir the contenders on the trail
or Mr. Huff are Babe Asher. A. E. V.
champion, and hanny Kdwards. the
tiny colored streak, who meet Tues
day niKht at the armory. Ever since
his return from overseas Asher has
been cllmbinp steadily to the top of
the bantam division.
Edwards will make his first start
In the east shortly after hia fiarht
1 ere with Asher. Danny will invade
the home of the bantam king and
ho. pew to be wearing the crown when
he ruturns to the coast afraln. "
The year 1921 was a busy one for
Udwards. He engaged in 24 bouts,
an average of two a month, and lost
only one of the 2. That was the
ten-round fight with Billy Mascntt.
Iri which decision went against
lanny.
Kdwards tarted the year with a
Blx-round knockout over Harry Man
sell. Then followed a four-round de
cision over Ernie CSoozeman, a four
round draw with Georgie Marks, four
round decisions over Dynamite Mur
phy. Johnny Lotsy and Bud Manning.
JSert Hug-hen and Frankle Munroe
both were stopped in five rounds.
Georgie Eee lost a ten-round deci
sion to Kdwards. and then came two
more knockouts by the little black
. boy. one over Ray fccribner In two
rounds and the other ever Frankle
Carpenter in four.
After winning another ten-round
decision from Georgie Lee, Edwards
fought two ten-round draws with Bud
Jildley. Edwards In the latter part
of 1121 won decisions over Freddie
Williams. George Adams. Ad Rubl
doux and Ray Rose, two decisions
over Babe Herman and a four-round
decision over Len Holliday.
While boxing in Los Angeles Ed
wards got the once over from Bob
JOtlgren, one of the foremost boxing
critics In the country. Edgren paid
Ianny a big tribute when he called
him a second George Dixon.
The semt-windup to the Edwards
Asher match' coming in for its
share of attention. The bout, whch.
will be a si xt-rounder, will bring to
gether Battling Ortega, ance the pride
of the 1'aclfic coast, and Jack Davis.
Bobby Harper. Seattle's leading con
tender for lightweight honors, will
be seen in action against some good
lightweight from the east on the
Portland boxing commission's show
here January 31. Joe Welling prob
ably will be his opponent, although
Matchmaker Hansen says he has not
closed yet with the eastern boxer.
Harper's last appearance here was
when he so decidedly beat Leach Cross
at the armory.
Another light-heavyweight boxer is
In town looking for trouble. His
name, a good fighting one, is Jack
(Kid) Savage. Savage hails from
Los Angeles. The best thing he had
to show the Portland matchmakers
was a clipping showing where he had
fought a 20-round draw with Lee
Andertson at Mexlcalll last Sunday.
The newspaper clippings give Savage
all the better of the fight.

Grenadier club of Montreal has com

first-league soccer for 20 years and
ten times has been capped In an Eng

KNOCK-OUT FIGHTERS SAID
TO DRAW BIGGEST CROWDS
Fans Declared Unable to' Appreciate Clever Boxing
Best Drawing Cards for This Reason.
BY SOL METZGER.
BOXING is a fine exercise. To
those with an intimate knowl
edge of its fine points, witness
ing a good bout is fine entertainment.
Evidently this class is in the minor
ity at a fight between heavies.
Knowing that a knock-out is in the
offing, a promoter can pack his
house. But if this spice of life to the
pugilistic fan seems lacking, al
though the wind-up is sure to be a
whirlwind in the matter of scientific
boxing, no such assembly as gathered
at Boyle's Thirty Acres last July is
possible.
That is why heavyweights draw
the biggest houses. The big fellows
usually lack the flashy speed of the
boxers. But they do pack a wallop,
pempsey has 46 knock-outs to his
credit since he began in 1915. Bill
Brennan. of the cauliflower ear. has
51 since 1914. Fred Fulton 5S. count
ing his record from his start In 1913.
What better evidence that when
Die big fighters are booked for -a
bout one is fairly sure to go star
gazing?
On the other hand. Johnny Dundee,
junior lightweight champion and ad
mittedly one of the cleverest boxers
in the game, has turned in but 18
knock-outs since 1911.
The patrons are principally inter
ested la the ability of boxers to put
others to sjeep. Benny Leonard draws
weil for that reason. But because of
a long schooling in knock-outs by
heavies we prefer to take our chances
in getting our money's worth by pay
ing to see them scrap. For like
reasons we turned out to see Ruth
in preference to a pitchers' battle,
snappy fielding or scientific bunting.
Walter Hagen, home bred and pro
fessional golf champion of the United
States, ranks as the greatest match
player in America, if not the world.
Abe Mitchell is his one rival. The
ex-open champion sets clip In such
affairs that far outshines his work in
medal play. And why?
Because Hagen Is competitive. The
larger the stake and the greater the
strain, the better his golf. In medal
play, with 72 holes ahead of him.
Walter cannot get worked "up until
the home stretch. It Is only when
the last IS holes is to be negotiated

In the Portland public school league

having that date.
Commerce does' not open its season
until then, so will benefit by the two
weeks of practice. The other six
teams played last week, and except
for James John, appeared well
matched.
Benson's victory over WasMngtet
Wednesday, 25 to 22. broke the hoodoo
that has followed the Mechanics since
they joined the interscholaetic league,
five years ago. Until Wednesday's
game . Benson had never defeated a
Washington tean in any sport.
The Benson-Washington game was
so rough that the referee had to put
out of the game Mautz of Washington
and Barber of Benson for futving more
than four personal fouLs. Broughton
of Jefferson, with 21 points, is high
point ma,n of the league in scoring.
-Heavies Held
lead' of five or less strokes over
Hagen at this point more than any
other mental hazard. They know
from long experience that the psy
chology of this handicap tunes Hagen
to a remarkable pitch.
But in match play there is this dif
ference. From the "tart there is
competition and he is equal to his
best, a best no man can match. Pack
ing with him every stroke in the
game a tremendous wallop, excep
tional pitching accuracy and a deadly
touch on the greens. Hagen. pressed
and with a fighting chance, has the
heart to apply all his powers. He is
the direct opposite to most golfers:
those of us who can reel of f a fine
score in practice but who fail in the
pinch of competition.
All of which makes golf a highly
human matter In that there is far
more to it than merely knocking a
ball around flie lot.
Nox. that the physical directors
have departed from their annual con
clave we have again learned what a
horrible thing Is intercollegiate sport.
In order to keep everybody happy we
pj-opose as a solution setting-up ex
ercises for all spectators between the
halves of football games.
In both theory and practice ignor
ance of the law is no excuse. Never
theless it usually takes a few law
ers, a few trials and 12 good men and
true, not to overlook the Judge, to
learn the law. Wherefor, we rise to
remark, why this hot air that ignor
ance is no excuse?
Humanity wallows in rules, laws,
prohibitions. Any law library is proof.
Even the digests fill a good part of
them. How then is the ordinary
citizen to know when he oversteps
his limitations? As a matter of fact
he takes his chances.
Sport rules follow closely beaten
trails. Give a group the task of
evolving rules for a game and the
result is technical. The findings, once
printed, are supposedly for the mental
digestion of schoolboys and colleg
ians. Yet Jim Barnes, cunning, crafty,
experienced, all but came a cropper
In the open golf championship last
year by overlooking a technicality.
Gil N'ichols fell before the same one
several years back. In both instances
the scorer entered the wrong medal.
Yet Merkle failed to touch a base
In the excitement of a world's series.
Princeton's crack eleven of some
j( .yiSMrft
years back failed to recover a kick
off by Yale, thinking the ball auto
matically ttjere. That cost the game.
Is it any wonder, then, that the
ordinary athlete fails many . times
through ignorance of the rules? Of
course, that may not be an excuse.
But it is ground for action against
the rule-makers.
All of which Is ahent the recent
meeting of the football coaches. They
advertised that they would do some
thing about the code. About time
someone writes it in brief English.
m m m
The big league magnates, recently
assembled, decided upon an effort to
have removed the excess 5 per cent
charge on Pullman accommodations.
This action followed right after the
announcement that 1921 was their
most prosperous year. Say. who's go
ing to pay for this war, anyhow? ,
Following the Dempsey-Carpentier
fight Jim Corbett wrote to a man in
Australia, name of Corbett. that Jack
on that occasion would have been no
match for Jeffries, FitzsimmonB or
Johnson in their prime. Maybe so.
but- there has been no mad scramble
by the white hopes since to get into
the squared ring for a business meet
ing with Jack.
Usually boys, who leave one college
to enter another do so to get the
course they want. Such fellows are in
e .rnest. "about getting an education.
The vast majority of them are a
credit to campus and classroom. Re
cently the Southern Intercollegiate
Athletic association took an awful
wallop at such students by passing a
law barring them from playing foot
ball again if they had played at their
first love.
Srmebody aptly remarked that col
lege athletio teams should be made
up of representative students.
,
The papers announce that Harvard
is seeking a football game next fall
with either California or Pittsburg.
Al. we have to remark is: "You've
got to hand It to Harvard."

BY GEORGE CHADWICK.
(Copyriiht. 1D22. by The OreKonian.)
NEW YORK, Jn. 21. (Special.)
Before long now major-league base
ball players and others who aspire to
he will turn their faces southward for
six weeks or more of conditioning
tc make them fit for the opening of
the season. Training bills will be
heavier, this year than ever, and it
was' estimated here today that at
Least $175,000 would be spent by the
big-league clubs in this matter.
A souther-n training trip is not un
dertaken so much with the idea of
actual training as it is to get the
players in condition to play attractive
ball in the early part of the season.
Almost ail such trips are followed by
a reaction, and sometimes players of
a team which has- been a long time
in the south are not much better off
than if they had not made the jour
ney. However, if ballplayers were
put on the ' field In April without
training they would be a weak and
awkward club. While their muscles
were getting fit for fast ball, they
would play so crudely that the fans
would be inclined to jeer the stars.
Bad Ilasebnll Result.
One tlma some of the major-league
clubs agreed among themselves that
they would not send their players
south. The United States never saw
worse baseball than was played that
spring. The players themselves had
become furious at the "niggardly pol
icy" of the owners, as they termed it,
and made little effort to get ready.
Connie Mack, having taken his Ath
letics as far south as they can go in
the league standing, is'going to take
them about as far south as they can
go on the map for training. He has
announced that he will take .them to
Eagle Iass. Tex., just across the Rio
Grande from Mexico. Truly, baseball
is being carried into Mexico and to
ward Mexico at a rapid rate. Last
fall two teams from Texas invaded
Mexico. The teams were made up of
young men who had played in the
fast Texas league.
Giants Go to San Antonio.
The New York Nationals and both
&t. Louis clubs have gone as far south1
as San Antonio and the Giants go
back there this year.. But San An
tonio is a resort, and Eagle Pass is
on the frontier. For climate. Eagle
Pass may have it on San Antonio.
It is much 'further south and in a
region where there are not many ad
verse winds and no storms to speak of.
The Chicago Americans, like the
Athletics, are experimenting in Texas.
They have been induced to go to Se
guln, a town a few miles up the coun-'
try from San Antonio. The White Sox
have been noted for exploring around
here and there, and not always with
the most satisfactory results.
The Cleveland club trains at Dallas.
It really isn't training. The team
hangs around a good hotel in a city
with plenty of amusements and the
players fall into baseball habits by
taking hard exercise for about four
hours daily.
St. Louis Haa Texas Habit.
The St. Louis Cardinals have the
Texas habit. They train at Orange.
It is a small city way down In the
southeastern corner of Texas, so close
tc Louisiana that you can shake
hands with It. The trouble with
Orange is that it is too near the gulf
of Mexico. The St. Louis Browns train
at Mobile, amid roses and shell fish.
The Chicago Cubs train on Santa
Catallna island, in the Pacific, despite
the fact that many of the orthodox
trainers believe that only the best
results are obtained in a dry climate.
Brooklyn, however, goes to Jack
sonville, Fla.; Washington to Tampa,
and the Boston Nationals to St. Pe
tersburg, and all three are scheduled
to be caprices of salt water weather.
Tho Philadelphia Nationals train in
Leesburg, Fla., in Oie center of the
state.
Detroit has gone to Texas for a
leng time, but this year the Tigers
will train at Augusta, Ga. There has
been a feud between the Giants and
the Detroits, and Ty Cobb has aban
doned trying to stick it out at San
Antonio.
Cincinnati will go lack to Texas,
but to a different town than last year.
The Reds will try Mineral Wells,
which is not bad for location, al
though a bit windy. The Boston
Americans and Pittsburg clubs will
trainras usual at Hot Springs, Ark.
WRESTLING SHOW DATED
GARDNER TO MEET THYE OX
FEBRUARY 1.
Syracuse University Middleweight
Credited With Being One of
Best-Built Men in World.
The next professional wrestling
show here will be staged at the Hel
lig theater the night of February 1.
Pinky Gardner, the Syracuse univer
sity middleweight, is billed to meet
Ted Thye in the main event, , which
will be for the best two out of three
falls or a decision at the end of two
hours. There will also be two pre
liminaries. Carrol Gardner, better known to
the wrestling public as "Pinky," is
an unusual young man. He Is con
sidered one of" the best-built men in
the world. Many authorities on phys
ical education say he is better devel
oped than the famous Eugene San
dow. of strong man fame. He is one
of the few wrestlers whose body is
in proportion. Besides being a fine
physical specimen, he carries much
strength above his shoulders, and he
is a varsity graduate.
Gardner is one of the most aggres
sive wrestlers on the mat today. His
style is to go and get 'em until some
body drops. He never rests and
moreover will be a match for Thye
so far' as weight is concerned. Both
weigh around 165 pounds.
Ted Thye is ambitious for a re
turn match with Walter Miller or any
other wrestler who lays claim to the
middleweight title. He is willing to
make the mdidleweight limit the aft.
ernoon of the match and should a
match be arrange-! under these (Con
ditions, he says it would notweaken
him. Thye is out to get to the top of
the ladder and feels that by meeting
the best men in the game he can
do so.

S TO DEFEND TITLE

B.Y WILLIAM U.VMACK.
'The University of California track
and field team will defend its title
at the, annual games of t'n inter
collegiate American Amateur Athletic
association in he east this season,
but whether California or any other
coast college continues competition
in that organization is a matter for
the Pacific coast conference to de
clde.
That Is the substance of remarks
made by Graduate Manager Nichols
of the University of California. The
California team is a member of both
the Intercollegiate American Amateur
Athletic association and the National
Collegiate Athletic association. .The
long trip from the Pacific coast to
the ast. coupled with tho different
dates of competition of the two or
ganizations makes it practically im
possible for California or any other
coast college to compete in both the
big eastern meets. Eventually, Nicho
las believes, the coast colleges will
have to decide on one or the other,
and, as far as the University of Cali
fornia is concerned, Nichols and his
associates will abide by the decision
of the Pacific Coast conference in the

"Unless a college has a team of
all-stars,", says Nichols, "it is al
most impossible to make a showing
in the Intercollegiate American
Amateur Athletic association, let
alone win the meet. Entries in this
meet are unlimited. ..The result is
eastern colleges within easy access
of the city in which the champion
ships are held can send large teams
and enter four or more men In eath
event if they so detide. This is, nat
urally, a tremendous handicap to a
college from the Pacific coast, which
can send only a dozen men at the
most, and then the financial burden
is tremendous when compared with a
team 'of 25 or 30 men some of the
eastern colleges enter. The National
collegiate rules are far more suitable
and lmlt the number of men. This
method is fair to all."
California will havs a track team

Professor J. Ayer, the faculty ath
letic man of th' University of Wash
ington, smacked the pilfering east
ern' colleges square on the proboscis
when he disclosed the schemes of
Lonestar Die the other day.
Diets lost his job, Dick Hanley lost
his Job, and Purdue got a lot of un
favorable publicity all over the 'coun
try. No doubt the middle western and
eastern colleges will think twice be
fore making advances to Pacific coast
youths in the future.
' It was getting so that high school
kids out here were all figuring them
selves as worth so much in money
to play football. The condition was
brought about by the unscrupulous
eastern coaches, not by the colleges
themselves.
Now that Ayer has uncovered some
of the stuff the folks back there have
been doing, the piracy among west
ern high schools will no doubt cease
to a great extent.

NEW YORK, Jan. 21. ISpeciul.)
All the fight fans are satisfied today
that if Fred Fulton pulled a stall
uaalnst Hartley Madden at the Gar
dvn last week, he did not get away
with his stuff. In other words, l,i o
I-lynn. Bill Brennan's manager, lias
refused to match his big knocker
out against the lanky plasterer. So
all Fred gets assuming he was hold
ing back against Madden is the rep
of being the biggest mistake that
ever tried to make people think ho
was a championship contender.
Tho way the insldi.-rs figured oyt
the Fulton-Madden battle was that
Fulton couldn't possibly be as bad us
he looked. Why, honest, he gave
the best imitation ot a crude ama
teur that has been seen' in New York
this year. He seemed not to know
how to shoot his right and his left
was little better than a ham hang
lug in a delicatessen window.
Fred Held o Have Ktnllrd.
So the wise guys fibred it out that
Fred had stalled and would show
something as soon as the rush of big
fellows to get in the ring with him
began. But there hasn't been any
rush. "I don't think Fulton was
stalling," said Tex Kickard. "I think;
ho was Blmply had that night hu'i.
Just the same, Leo Flynn won't match
his big fellow, Brennan. against Ful
ton. 1 tried and fell down. Whut's
the answer?"
The answer may be that Flynn. who
Is nobody's fool. Is going to make
capital ot the good showing made by
Madden against Fulton by matching
Krennan against Bartley. Now Mad
den Is a fine, game, trial horse, but
what Bill Brennan is likely to do
to the New Yorker Is a plenty. Thus
brennan, by plasterirg the mar who
nlastered the plasterer? namely Ful
on, can, as it were, kill twe birds
with one stone. In si.ch cases as this
we s&e where, the clever matchmaker
has it 40 ways from the ace on man
agers who don't use their bean.
Kli-kard nt Ulnturbrd.
Announcement that Georges Car
pentler had signed to meet Ted (Kid)
Lewis In London in April did not seem
to disturb Tex Kickard today.
"You don't blame Carpentier for
picking up all the easy game he can
find, do you?" he said. "Ho will beat
Lewis easily and get well paid for
1U"
"Do you think," Tex was asked,
"that this agreement means Georges
won't come over here to fight Tommy
Gibbons?"
This question was all tho more
pointed because of tho fact that Tex
cabled to Descamps and Carpentier,
congratulating them upon the victory
over George Cook, and saying that
the fans were anxiously awaiting
their appearance in this country. '
Neither man has answered Tex'a
cable. This might look as though
r.elther wanted to commit himself
about a trip to this country to fight
the St. Paul walloper. But Tex doesn't
figure it that way.
"I fully expect that Descamps and
Carpentier will arrive here next
month, prepared to .fight Gibbons In
March," he said. "The big money is
here and there will be tho biggest
money for the Frenchman In that
fight that he ever dreamed of earn
ing outside, of course, of the big
Jersey City battle against Dempsey.
No, I don't doubt their coming at
all.".
