SPORT CARD DELAYED CARMVAL SET Jl'LY 4 POSTPONED FOR PRESENT. Counter Attractions, and Threatening; Weather Given as Cause by Manaser Merrill. Threatening weather and counter at tractions, such as the athletic pro gramme on Multnomah Field, the picnic of the Loyal Order of Moose and o'her gatherings, have caused Fred T. Mer rill, manager of the Rose City Speed way Association and the Rose City Athletic Club, to postpone the first an nual carnival of sports scheduled for July 4. Manager Merrill will. feature Johnny Coulon. of Chicago, and Billy Mascott, of Portland, Indoors at the Rose City Athletic Club next Monday night, July 3. Nest In importance to this bout is a return engagement between Jack Sims and Al Sommers, which terminated in so much grief for Sommers at the last Rose City Club show. The free carnival of sports will be offered to the public at the Rose City Speedway track a week or two after next Monday night's show. Wrestling and boxing will be on this programme, which will be held in the first open-air boxing arena ever erected in the North west. In a letter received by Manager Mer rill last night from Charley Cutler, who wrestled Ad Santell in San Fran' Cisco last night. Cutler said that he would be pleased to take on Jack Tay lor, the Spokane heavyweight. This match will be staged July 10 at th Rose City Speedway. Johnny Coulon will arrive In Port' land tomorrow afternoon and will at once place himself under the wing of Mike Butler. He will start preparing for his contest with Mascott imme diately. Manager Merrill, of the Rose City Athletic Club. Is dickering with Kid Williams. The East Side club's boss wants Williams to meet Mascott if the later makes a good showing with Coulon. Ad Santell, the heavyweight wrestler of San Francisco, has written the Rose City Club management saying that h would come to Portland if a match could be arranged. Tex Vernon may meet Joe Gorman in one of the preliminaries to the Coulon Mascott match to be held Monday night Instead of Jockey Bennett. Manager Merrill fears that Bennett is too old to give the youthful Gorman a genuine contest. Sally Salvadore has written Ierrill asking to be placed on the card. Salvadore may meet Walter Knowlton in one of the other preliminaries or may be featured with some lightweight as a main event at a later out-of-doors show to be held at the Rose City Speed way. The Sacramento lightweight has been boxing regularly of late: in fact, he has had ten bouts since February 22. He is matched for three bouts between now and July 15, but If he had an op portunity of coming north would prob ably arrange his matches accordingly. Salvadore is at present at his home in Sacramento. He has met and de feated Willie Hoppe, Willie Robinson "Sailor Ted" Meredith, "Sailor Frankie" Kirk and has. lost a tough contest to Ralph Gruman. Salvadore has had over 100 contests and is now only 21 years old. Joe Gorman and Manager Sol Cohen will leave for Raymond, Wash., this afternoon to hook up with Earl Con ners, bantamweight of Tacoma, over the six-round route. next Saturday night. Gorman received an offer from Ash land, Or., yesterday and he may box there July 4. ' Kenton to Flay The Dalles.

ALL HAVE FAVORITES CIIAXCE LIKES PITCHER HORST- HAlf AND CATCHER BA85LER. t Angels' Manager Declares That Both of Tseiie Yoongsters Are Dne to Co Higher Soon. Nearly every baseball manager has one or two players on whom he dotes. Walter McCredie likes Noyes. Sothoron and Guisto. Cliff Blankenship is strong for Bunny Brief and Pitcher Paul Fit- tery, and so it goes. In his aggregation there are two youngsters whom Manager Frank Chance thinks are destined to go to the big show next Spring. They are Pitcher Horstman and Catcher Johnny Bassler. Oscar Horstman was picked up las year by Los Angeles. He is only 23 years old and this is but his second year playing the National pastime. He learned to play the game on the sand lots at Alma. Mo. This youngster weighs 170 pounds and is five feet 11 inches high. The 'show me kid has won seven and lost five games for the Angelic horde since the 1916 season started and is rapidly controlling his wildness, Chance uses him for a relief hurler quite frequently. The Missouri boy has been responsible for but 2.3 runs pe game in his 12 starts. Johnny Bassler is one of the real sensations of the Pacific Coast League this season. This youngster, who won be able to vote for another year yet, has already had two years' experience in the American League. He came to the Angels last year from Cleveland. In 1914 Bassler participated in 43 games with the Cleveland majors. He hit for an average of .182 and fielded .944. He hitting near .300 at present. Bassle and Boles, the veteran, are doing the Angels backstopping. Fred Carlsch was with the Cleveland club during the 1914 season and he caught In a few more games than did Bassler and hi hitting and fielding marks were better, Eighteen Angels accompanied Man ager Frank Chance, also Secretary Toots" Weber and Trainer. Alexande Finley, to Portland. All members of the club are in great condition except Johnny Butler, shortstop, who Is out with a spiked knee.
