Corbett found Tom Cowler In a cheap Portland lodging-house some two years ago, the big Englishman's protruding Jaw has been getting badly battered by all the heavy weights in captivity. Memory of Cow ler was refreshed yesterday when Jack King came around displaying a letter rom the big fellow in which Corbett a rotege said he was contemplating a trip west and would like to appear here. Cowler ought to confine his training stunts to jaw work. If he could learn to breathe with his chin stuck down In his neck or find some other way of hiding the target on the end of his chin, or become able to take hard blows on the point of the chin, he would be good fighter. He la fast on his feet and very clever with his hands, but sticks that chin out and Invites trouble. It is like waving a. flag in front of a bull. Big Tom waa going great guns In England in 1911 when he met Prank Moran for the first time In London. Moran took a few wallops to port and starboard and tacked around the ring for five or six rounds and then glanced at his target- In the opening of the lxth he turned his heavy batteries right under Cowler's masticating ap paratus and Thomas didn't hear the referee count 10. Same situation the other night in New York. Cowler bounced one to the side of Moran's head after the bell rang In the fourth round, and Moran got all peeved up about it. After try ing out a terrific smash to the heart he landed a right to the chin and Cow ler arose at the count of nine only to go down again & few seconds later for a full tally. Dillon did the same thing In the sec ond round at Brooklyn, February of last year. He bounced across the ring and placed an overhand right in the proper place, and Cowler didn't fully wake up until about 15 minutes later in the dressing-room. Fulton pursued like tactics only two or three months ago, the only dlffer- nce being that he turned the trick in the first round. Cowlefa jaw will soon take its place in ring records as the greatest piece of porcelain ever toted by a boxer. You have to go early to see him fight. Calvo.r. . 4 Pick. 3...

The original schedule will be used with the exception that the contests scheduled for last Sunday's will be shot at the end of the campaign, Sunday June 3. Next Sunday La Grande will meet Woodburn, Pendleton will battle Astoria and Salem will break blue rocks with the Canemah Club, of Ore gon City. Albany will be idle for the day. Hereafter the club falling to shoot will forfeit the match, because the schedule cannot run too long before the regular tournament season will be breaking into the shooting.
