to Meet Winner of
Francisco Match.
Today Is the biggest sporting day of
the year on the Pacific Coast.
This Fourth of July finds capital
events In boxing, baseball, swimming,
rowing, tennis and automobile and
horse racing dotted down the length
Of the card.
First In general interest come the
two lightweight boxing bouts at San
Francisco and Los Angeles, one of
which will decide the lightweight cham
pionship and the other In all probabil
ity the next recognized challenger for
that title.
Hltchle Beta flOOO on Self.
Willie Ritchie, the champion, meets
Joe Ktvers, of Los Angeles, at San
Francisco In a bout that may go 20
rounds. Betting stands 10 to 8 on
Ritchie, with the champion wagering
S1000 on his own chances at the ruling
odds. The fight is generally conceded
to promise more Interest than any bat
tle in the same division since Battling
Nelson lost the title to Ad Wolgast at
Richmond. Cal. Forty thousand dollars
Is expected to be the gate.
In Los Angeles, Bud Anderson, of
Vancouver, Wash., will meet Leach
Cross, of New York. Cross is a veteran,
erratic but always dangerous. Ander
son is the most promising of the new
comers. Although Anderson In meeting Cross
admittedly is to meet the best man of
his career, odds continue to prevail In
Anderson's favor. His supporters out
number by nearly two to one those of
Cross.
Anderson Above Weight.
Condition of the two fighters last
night showed little difference. Ander
son weighed one and one-quarter
pounds over the 133-pound mark, while
Cross stripped more closely to the
weight limit.
The winner probably will be matched
for the title with the champion, pro
claimed at San Francisco. Anderson's
last two victories were knockouts of
"Knockout" Brown, New York, and Joe
Mandot, New Orleans. The betting
last night was so strong In favor of
Anderson that his backers forced the
odds down another notch, making the
Vancouver boy a 10 to 6 favorite. The
prediction was made that before the
gong sounded Cross will have the short
end of a 2 to 1 proposition.
Jess Willard and Al Williams, among
the white hopes, meet for 16 rounds at
Reno, and Antone Lagrave and Rube
Ferns, welterweights, at Taft, Cal.
In baseball, double-headers will be
played up and down the Coast. Interest
centers on the struggle for first place
between Los Angeles and San Fran
cisco in the Pacifxc Coast League, and
the fight between Seattle and Vancou
ver in the Northwestern. Oddly enough
the leaders in both leagues are paired
off, Portland being a . close third In
both circuits.

For a time It threatened to break up
for good the Newell-Havely doubles
crew, but Dr. Hill, fleet surgeon of the
Portland Motor-Boat Club, "spliced" the
injury without the aid of an operation.
Havely was out rowing Tuesday even

off will not materially reduce the
hances of winning at the Vancouver
regatta next week.
Coach "Dick" Hart is pounding the
men at a hard clip for the finishing
touches of the training season this

to Harmon In one of the three sets, but
had an easy time in the other two. The
scores were 6-4, 4-6 and 6-2.
Harmon was the real dark horse of
the eliminations.
In the girls' singles the result was
somewhat different, as Miss Emma Du
Bruille, the Washington School cham
pion, easily defeated Miss Bessie Povey,
of the Jefferson High, 6-2 and 6-0. Both
sets were fast, but the serving of the
winner was too much for Miss Povey,

In the drawing, the two crack North

Fottrell and Griffin and Strachan

them will meet the best Southern Cali
fornia team in the finals, which will
be played Saturday. It is considered
almost certain that the honor of rep

fall to one of the San Francisco teams.
Interest in the rivalry between them Is
intense.

SAN FRANCISCO. July 8. (Special.)
The stage is set for tomorrow's
lightweight championship, in which
Joe Rivers, of Los Angeles, will meet
Willie Ritchie, the San Francisco boy,
who is defending the title. The two
weeks or more of grind have been
completed, the two contestants are re
ported by their respective, trainers to
be right and with no excuses to offer,
so all that remains is the fight itself.
Work at Rivers' camp at the beach
was practically abandoned today and
early in the afternoon the Los Angeles
lightweight moved his quarters from
the ocean boulevard to a downtown
hotel, where he passed the night.
At San Rafael Ritchie elected to
spend the last night with as much
quiet as possible. He was out tonight
for his nightly automobile ride, after
having been on the road in the fore
noon for half an hour, winding up by
boxing three short rounds.
Kelly In Rivers' Corner.
Spider Kelly and Tim McQrath
have been engaged to assist in second
ing Rivers. It is likely Spider Kelly
will be the chief second. If Rivers
wins it will be due largely to Kelly's
counsel.
Harry Foley will be chief second for
Willie Ritchie, as he was when the
local man won the title from Wolgast.
Foley has good Judgment in a corner.
Opinions about the outcome of the
fight seem to be largely due to sec
tional feeling. Northern California be
ing for Ritchie, while Southern Cali
fornia is enthusiastic for Rivers. Bet
ting is 10 to 8, with the champion the
favorite. He is a tall, rangy fighter
for the 133-pound ranks, who is cool-
headed in the ring, game and equipped
with a solid right-hand punch as well
as a good left. Mentally he is bet
ter equipped than the average fighter
and that should help him. Although
not to be regarded as particularly ag
gressive, the San Franciscan is quite
willing to take his chances in mixing
with an opponent. Winning from
Wolgast and traveling around th
country, as he was doing for six
months, has given him confidence that
ought to count.
Rivers Appears Faster.
Joe Rivers looks one of the best
lightweights in the country today. He
is aggressive and perhaps a trifle faster
than Ritchie. More than willing to
force the fighting, it is probable he
will do his share of the work. His
boat punch appears to be a left hook
that he can swing either to the head
or body. It can t be said that h
iooks as strong on the defensive as
the man he will meet and that may
help the champion.
The boys are well mated, but old ex
perts rather fancy Ritchie has the bet
ter chance of winning.
Betting continues to favor Ritchie
and there is little indication of
cnange from the odds of 10 to 8, at
which the wagering was opened. In
the poolrooms today there was more
Ritchie money than Rivers support ani
tnose who desired to back the North
-..i boy were forced to leave their
money, with the promise that it would
De placed if possible.
The seat sals Indicates the biggest
nouse or tne year.
Jtsotn Ritchie and Rivers satisfied
their trainers tonight that they could
make the weight and be perfectly fit
ana Kitcnie was a half pound under,
weighing 133 46 at the close of three
ruunds or Doxlng with a sparring part

Portland Teachers Required to At
tend Special Training Term for
Only Two Weeks Instead of
Four as First Planned.
Teachers in the Portland public
schools won a substantial victory yes
terday when the Board granted their
oft-expressed request for a Summer
training school of only two weeks, be
ginning September 1, and opponents of
tne present course of study gained a
valuable point when the clerk was in
structed to ask the Attorney-General
whether the law will permit the Board
to wait a year before adopting a new
standard of text-books.
Opponents of the present system of
education point out that any attempt
to adopt text-books at this time will
force the Board to build up the system
on the present course of study, to which
there has been much objection. As
the law requires the Board to adopt
text-books for a period of no less than
four years, the only hope of relief
from the old and objectionable system
lies in waiting a year, It is argued.
Delay Would Help Experts.
This delay would rive the exnerts
who now are conducting a survey of
the school system a chance to do their
work and will give L. R. Alderman, the
new superintendent, opportunity to in
ject some of his progressive Ideas into
the school work. The plan then is to
adopt a set of text-books In accord
ance with Mr. Alderman's recommen
datlons and his own course of studv-
uenmte action on the text-book Ques
tion will be taken at a sneclal meet
ing on xnursday. July 31, at 4 P. M.. by
which time an opinion from the Attor
ney-General is expected to be in hand.
Meanwhile book concerns and others
interested will be accorded opportuni
ties to present their views.
The motion to cut down the reriod
of compulsory training in sewing, art,
music and physical culture for teach
ers came somewhat as a surprise.
The Ainsworth School wll be fin
isnea under a separate contract and
special bids will be advertise for
Foster & Co., who had the contract for
erection of he building, failed to fulfill
me contract and considerable
annoy-
ance has resulted.

Upon recommendation of Simcrini

will be sent to schools at various riar.

INSKEEP RETURNS TO DUTY
Efficient Portland Policeman Ends
Leave of Absence.
Chester A. Inskeep, for many years a
policeman in Portland, was yesterday
reinstated in the department by Chief
Clark and Mayor Albee. The appoint
ment was made after Mr. Inskeep had
applied to the Civil Service Commis
sion for reinstatement and was placed
on the service eligible list.
Mr. Inskeep, who was one of the most
efficient of patrolmen in the service,
was one of those who passed the ex
amination of captain of police a year
ago, when Joseph Keller was appointed
to the position over the heads of all
others. Soon after that Mr. Inskeep
secured a leave of absence and has been
out of the department since.
APPOINTEES ARE NOT 0. K.
Chief and Mayor ' Refuse to Recog

Schiiler, who were appointed policemen

of Police Clark and Mayor Albee yes
terday refused to recosrnize their ap
pointments and notified them that they
cannot retain; their positions.
The two men recently took a civil
service examination and passed. The
Executive Board on its last day ap
pointed them patrolmen and they went
to the department to report for work.
Chief Clark, who had investigated their
records when they were in the depart
ment before, refused to put them to
work. They are to be kept from the service
by means of a provision of the civil
service rules which gives the head of
the department the power to remove
any appointee within six months after
the time of appointment provided the
appointee is not satisfactory to his em
ployer. CRIME STORY DISBELIEVED
