FAST CARD PLANNED
Billy Williams to Meet Nelson
in Ten-Round Go.
BOXERS EVENLY MATCHED
Both Lightweights Fairly Known to
Portland Fans Boats to Be
Held at Vancouver on
Friday Night.
The officials of the Vancouver Ath
letic Club yesterday signed Billy Wil
liams to meet Billy Nelson over the
10-round route at their next boxing
show, which will be held next Friday
night, July 27. '
Both of these boys are fairly well
known around Portland, as they have
boxed here on several occasions. Wil
liams recently returned from a trip
East, where he met George Kelly, at
Superior, Wis., winning from the home
boy by a wide margin. He Is one of
the coolest battlers in the country and
should give Nelson an interesting ses
sion during the 10 rounds. Nelson is
confident that he can out-battle Wil
liams and is backed up by his manager,
Miles Coakley, the well-known Port
land sporting man, who Is looking after
Nelson's business.
There will be three preliminaries on
the card which will be good ones if
the promotors obtain the boys that
they are trying to get.
Johnny Boscovitch, Jack Wagner,
Charley Rooney, Soldier Bird and sev
eral other good -boys have been men
tioned as candidates for matches. Jack
("K. O.") Wagner, the battling Port
land lightweight, will meet the win
ner of the Nelson-Williams go. a few
weeks after the bout.
FAME OF OLD STARS RECALLED
Darby O'Brien as Great in His Bay
as Ty Cobb.
Old-timers among the fans will re
member with admiration Williarrl
O'Brien, popularly known as "Darby,"
who was famous as an outfielder in
his day as Ty Cobb is In this. O'Brien
was claimed by the great reaper 24
years ago this month. He succumbed to
consumption. "Darby" first gained
fame as a member of the old New York
Metropolitan team, but It was with
the Brooklyn Nationals that he made
his greatest reputation. He Joined the
Dodgers in 1890, the year they Joined
the National League.
It was in this year that the Players
League tried to break up organized
baseball.
O'Brien played left field for the
Dodgers and led the club in bat work.
his average being .314. He continued
to star for several years until death
cut short his career.
Right here It might be well to men
tion a few other stars of earlier days
who rivaled the accomplishments of
Ty Cobb. There was Lipman Pike, of
Troy; Edward Cuthbert, of Philadel
phia; Mart King, Dave Egglor, Albert
Godney, A. J. Reach and Jim O'Tourke,
all of whom were star performers In
the National Association of the early
70s, the parent organization of the
present National League. Don't get the
idea that we of the present day have
a monopoly of stars. There were
plenty of them in the old days and
they had to play a harder game, too.
TRAPSHOOTERS NEVER GO BACK
Best Marksman in Country to At
tend Chicago Shoot.
A law of sports as Immutable as
the laws of the Medes and the Per

the grand American handicap, at the
South Shore Country, Chicago, I1L, Au
gust 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, where on the
firinc line will be found many of the
old guard of the grand army of clay
bird busters.
Among the veterans who will at
tend the big shootfest are Tom Mar
shall, Edward B: nks, W. R. Crosby,
Fred Gilbert and Rolo Heikes, mem
bers of the all-American team that in
vaded the British Isles in 1901, and
vanquished the Britishers despite the
fact that the Englishmen fired "both
barrels" In successive attempts to
bring down each clay target while the
Americans pulverized the saucers in
much greater numbers, shooting with
one barrel."

these few lines over the woodpile in
the basement.
Swede Risberg recently got five hits
in as many trips to the plate, a feat
he has pulled twice In two games.
Prospects for Ice hockey at Palm
Beach do not look good for August.
New York sport writers have one
line set up and it Is used frequently:
that Is, "Peck doubled to left." . The
ex-Beaver shortstop is doing all the
clean-up work for the Yankees.
You've got to hand It to Matty's Bed
for getting ahead of the Scent.
In baseball the fastest working
pitching ever was that of Christy
Mathewson. When Matty worked, as
a rule, you could figure the span of
the game from an hour and 30 min
utes to an hour and 40 minutes. He
wasn't out there posing or chewing
on the ball or making extended flour
ishes. His Idea was to pitch. Having
fine control, he wasted few throws.
What he did counted. The result was a
short game.
Walter Johnson and Alexander are
both along the same lines. Neither is
a slow, deliberate worker. Both hustle
their games along and rarely go be
yond an hour and 40 minutes to achieve
their ultimate destinies for the day.
Games are delayed and held up by slow
pitching more than by any other factor.
And when the stars are pitching there
is always less delay, with few excep
tions. Very few of the great golfers belong
to the deliberative, lagging type. Trav
ers, Ouimet and Evans step up, hit the
ball and move along. Bob Gardner
travels along at a fast clip, taking
very little time for his shots. John G.
Anderson, Phil Carter and Oswald
Kirby are three of the fastest workers
in the game.
Careful play Is all well enough, but
too much deliberation kills Impetus.
The slow golfer is very rarely a good
player. Alexander Smith, twice open,
champion, plays like a streak. Virtual
ly every leading pro spins through a
round at good speed. Delay and delib
eration are too often merely a strain
upon nervous energy.
