Barrlesn Waits to Get Portland En gagement With Faster Contender In Northwest Field. The boxing show slated for August 15 at Vancouver has had to be called off, as Pete Mitchie has been unable to get in shape for the proposed bout with Jack Wagner. It is likely that the new date will be Friday night, August 24, at the Post gymnasium. Wagner has been training faithfully and the postponement was a great dis appointment to him, as he is sure that he can beat the fast-coming Mitchie in a ten-round bout. When they do meet, the fight fans should see one of the best bouts ever witnessed here. George Brandon, who was to meet Billy Mascott, will lay off training for a few days for fear of getting stale. If he beats Mascott he will claim the bantamweight championship of the Pa cific Coast. Valley Trambltas, who will clash with Soldier Arnold in the six-round double main event, is confident that he can stop Arnold and will then be ready to tackle the best of them for the local boxing fans. He would like to meet Jack Downey, Frank Barrieau, middle weight champion of the Pacific Coast, or any other good middleweight for any number of rounds. Johnny Boscovitch is scheduled to meet Charley Rooney in six three-minute rounds. Fred Wlnsor, manager of Frank Bar rieau, would like to bring Barrieau to Portland or Vancouver to box the best boy at his weight in this part of the country. The Portland boxing fans will remember Barrieau as the boy who gave Billy Wright, of Seattle, such a lacing at the Ice Hippodrome last year. Frank has been meeting the best at his weight all over the country and for the past six months has been box ing in California. He won the middle weight championship from Battling Or tega several months ago and has suc cessfully defended his title against all comers, meeting ten of the best boxers in California in ten successive weeks Battling Ortega. Billy Murray, Dick King. Mexican Kid Carter, Red Watson, Frankie Jones, Jack Downey, Pat Brad ley, Len Rowlands. He will meet Willie Ritchie on August 22 at Emeryville, CaL Ray "Wop" Dorey. local feather weight boxer, who has been fighting around Kansas City for the past year, is out with a challenge to any boy in the Northwest nt 122 nnnna TlnfAv to scheduled to meet Ritchie Siebert, of .ruicine, wis., ai Wallace, laano, on Labor day. If he defeates Siebert he will be matched to box Benny Chavez. Micky McMinn, who boxed Jack Allen twice here, is now in San Francisco and has been meeting with fair success. The other night he did not box up to his standard and lost a decision to Herb Brodle. A San Francisco paper in re-. OAKS. ferrlng to the bout says: "McMinn seemed content to make a wild rush once in a while, but that ended the of fensive. The only time he led was when he led himself out of the ring." Sammy Morris, another San Francisco boxer who is known here, lost to Eddie James on the same card. The referee's decision was hooted .by the fans, who thought that Sammy deserved nothing worse than a draw. SAILORS NOW BURKE'S PUPILS Former School Instructor Here Misses Kids From Swimming Class. James R. Burke, better known as "Jimmie," former instructor of the swimming classes in the public schools of Portland, is now swimming instruc tor at Bremerton Navy-yard. In writ ing to a friend in Portland "Jimmie" says: "I miss the kiddies I used to have in the schools and parks. It seems so strange to have all men and no boys in my classes. They all seem willing to learn, and that is the main object." Burke holds his swimming classes in salt water, and Bays it can't com pare with the old Willamette. What Ex-Coasters Did in the Majors Yesterday. RTJETHER. ex-Beaver, got knocked out of the box for the Reds. Oscar Vitt, ex-Seal, now with Detroit, got two hits, stole two bases and scored in two runs in two games. Harry Heilman, ex-Colt and ex-Seal, singled and doubled for Detroit. "Pep" Toung, former Sacramento star, tripled and singled for Detroit. "Tub" Spencer, ex-Vernon Tiger, singled for Detroit. Bobby Jones, ex-Seal, scored as a pinch-runner for Detroit. Harry Hooper doubled for the Red Sox. "Duffy" Lewis singled and scored for Boston. "Ping" Bodie, ex-Seal, doubled and singled for the Athletics. Ray Bates, ex-Beaver, went hitless for Connie Mack. Ivan Olson, ex-Beaver, got one hit in two games for Brooklyn. Jimmy Johnstone, ex-Oak, made four hits and four runs for Brooklyn. Cutshaw, ex-Oak, was out of the Dodgers' lineup. Wilhoit failed as pinch-hitter for the Giants. Dave Bancroft, ex-Beaver, singled for the Phillies. "Gavvy" Cravath, ex-Angel, got a hit for the Phillies. Roger Peckinpaugh, ex-Beaver, was blanked for the Yankees. Roily Zeider, ex-Seal, got two hits for the Cubs. Harry Wolter, ex-Angel, was out of the Cub lineup. Lefts and Rights. FRANK MORAN is hard at work training at White Sulphur Springs in an endeavor to get in good ehape for another whirl at Carl Morris and Fred Fulton. Fritz Holland, who has not been do ing much boxing the past year, writes from Australia that he is preparing himself for a real comeback. He says that the pickings are good for a boxer at his weight in the Antipodes at the present time, and that he expects to start in all over again and try to win the title left by Les Darcy. Jack Dillon has cancelled his en gagement with Bob Devere, scheduled at Kansas City on August 20. In spite of the reports that have been going the rounds that Dillon has enlisted in the Navy and would fight for Uncle Sam in the future, the truth is that Jack will be seen in the roped arena just as long as he is not drafted. Dillon is married, has a stepchild, a depend ent mother and a defective brother to support. Mike O'Dowd, the St. Paul welter weight, made short work of Tommy Madden, of Brooklyn, the other night in New Tork. O'Dowd waded into Madden from the start of the first round and put the Brooklyn battler out in the third. O Dowd has been com ing along with leaps and bounds of late and is to be reckoned with when it comes to the welterweight and middle weight championships. Eddie Campi is up in the mountains with Willis Ritchie on a vacation. It has been reported that Eddie has Just purchased a benzine buggy of the vin tage of 1917. Pittsburg promoters have telegraphed Eddie Kane, manager of Mike Gibbons, an offer for a match with Harry Greb, to be held in the Smoky City some time next month. Indications are that Mike will accept the bout. Frank Barrieau, middleweight cham pion of the Pacific Coast, passed his physical examination before the ex emption board in San Francisco the other day. Barrieau is married. -Willie Hoppe, the California welter weight, will clash with Joe Rivers at Emeryville, Cal., tomorrow night, in a four-round bout. Gus Christie, the Milwaukee middle weight, won in an easy fashion over Jack Clifford, of New York, in Brook lyn recently. Christie is a former sparring partner of Jack Dillon's and is showing signs of developing into a better man than Jack. OAKS AND BEAVERS OPEN SERIES TODAY Portland Needs Every Game of Seven to Get Out of Fifth Place. WILLIAMS BATTING HERO "Ken" Responsible, Personally, for Only Two Contests Mackmen Were Able to Grab From Salt Lake Bees. hen Oakland took six out of seven from tne Angels and the Bees trimmed Portland five games to two, the Bea vers were settled firmly in fifth place. Salt Lake moved into second place, thanks to the ability of her sluggers, and the help of Oakland. Rodgers got back into the game on Wednesday and played well during the remaining six games. Ken Williams got his home-run eye polished up and added three to his collection. Griggs also went off on a batting rampage, but otherwise nothing unusual hap pened. The two games Portland won were due solely to the hitting ability of Kenneth Williams. "Ken" won Satur day's game with four hits out of five trips, driving in all of Portland's runs. Friday's game was won by the Beavers because the aforementioned "Ken" got two homers, a single, a sacrifice hit and a walk. Griggs had a good week, poling out 12 hits in 28 trips' to the plate, and Hollocher got one or more hits in every game, finishing with 13 out of 33 trips to the rubber. The averages for the Beavers for the past week: P.. H. Ave. Williams 27 12 .444 Griggs 28 12 .420 Hollocher 33 13 .3H4 Fisher 14 5 .357 Baldwin 13 4 .307 Rodgers 26 7 .269 Wilie 15 4 .267 Farmer 28 6 .214 Penner 10 2 .200 Brenton 5 1 .200 Siglin 25 4 .160 Hunter 9 0 .000 Houck 6 0 .000 James 1 0 .000 Flncher 5 0 .000 Oakland and Bill Leard will make their appearance here this afternoon, meeting the Beavers in a seven-game series. Bill Leard went to Brooklyn and was released, catching on with the Oaks, his former teammates. Bill will probably etick with the Oaks in the capacity of a utility man. With the addition of Bill, the Oaks look like a Northwestern League team, with Bill Stumpf, Gardner, Murphy and Mensor. The Beavers are seven games behind Oakland and they would have to win every game of the series to get back Into fourth place. They have come to life in hitting and if the pitchers can hold up the fight for the head of the second vision may become interesting. Fournler, the slugging flrst-sacker of the Angels, is having a batting slump and attributes it to the fact that some body stole his favorite stick while he was north. Maybe "Ken" Williams was using said stick during the series with the Bees. Joe Schultz. ex-Angel, then with the Brooklyn Dodgers and lately with To ronto, has given up baseball. Uncle Sam grabbed Joe in the draft and he has gone. Brooklyn wanted to keep Schultz. but didn't like to pay hard cash for him and then lose him in the draft. "Buck" Weaver, former Seal, is out of the game with a broken finger, and the White Sox' pennant chances are hard hit. McMullen is holding down third in the meantime, but Buck will be missed, for he has been going great all year. RED SOX ARE HEAR TOP RUN5TER S-UP BEAT ATHLETICS, BE ING S POINTS BEHIND LEADERS.

Pratt which was offered as a prize. The driver was donated by Mrs. James Nicol, the competition be ing a handicap affair against woman's bogey of 44. There will not be a tournament for the women tomorrow, as most of the golfers are out of the city, many at tending the tournament at Gearhart. Mrs. James Nicol won the fourth, leg of the Henry Everding trophy with a gross score of 96 and a handicap of 14. NORMAN ROSS IX - LIMELIGHT Amateur Athletes Question Standing of Prominent Swimmer. Rumors are rampant in amateur ath letic circles that a protest will be made concerning the amateur standing of Norman Ross, now the most prominent figure in National swimming circles. Claims are being made that Ross is using his athletic ability as the means of securing a livelihood. It is true that the officials of the P. A. A. have frowned upon certain actions of Ross since his return early in the year from the various National championships in the East, but no evidence has been pre sented proving that he had violated any rules of the Amateur Athletic Union. Various promoters have made certain claims, yet none have pro duced any evidence. The matter was discussed at the last meeting of the P. A. A. and Ross was both severely criticised and equally defended. At the last annual meeting of the A. A U. held in November, 1916, a law was passed permitting men employed as life guards at bathing resorts to par ticipate in amateur events. The A. A. U. has met much criticism ever since. The P. A A. decided at its July meet ing to demand the repeal of this law at the next A. A. U. meeting, which will be held in St. Louis in November, and has so instructed its delegates. The claim has been made that this law was passed to allow the bars down for cer tain swimmers in Southern California, Hawaii and along the Atlantic Coast, where there are numerous bathing re sorts. Seward Simons, formerly of the Southern Pacific Association, who has been its delegate for a couple of years back, was chairman of the legislation committee and it has been alleged that he is the man who was responsible for its passage. There is no doubt but that this rule will be a great bone of con tention at the next annual meeting. There is no rule in the A. A. U. by which an athlete can disqualify him self by writing for a newspaper, which Is also one of the charges made against Ross' amateur standing. REGATTA PLANS MADE GOVERNORS, MAYORS AND EDITORS ARE INVITED, Races, Boat Trip to Seaside, Dances, Cabarets and Band Music Will Fea ture Annual Carnival. Programme arrangements for As toria's 22d annual Regatta are rapidly nearing completion. August 31 has been set aside as "carnival day"; Sep tember 1 will be "Elks' day"; Septem ber 2 will be "Mayors' day." and Sep tember 3 will be "Shipbuilders' day." On Sunday. September 2, the Regatta committee will take the visiting Mayors on a trip to Seaside for a glimpse of the ocean. Invitations have already been sent to the Governors of Oregon, Washington and Idaho, and to all the Mayors of all the cities of the same states. The committee also propose to invite newspaper editors and state and county officials, to the end that the Regatta may have an economic significance, in addition to the usual pleasure and carnival entertainments. The programme so far is composed of motor, fish and sailboat races, yacht races, motorcycle races, marathon races, footraces, log-rolling contests, sawing contests, tug-o-war and bal loon and airplane ascensions. There also will be a baby show, a dog show, a number of carnival attrac tions and cabaret shows, together with jitney and country dances, brass bands and orchestras. Bits of Schrapnell. M1NEY won his bonus when the Reds beat St. Louis Sunday. If the Beavers offered a bonus to the pitcher who won the most games. Ken Will iams would capture it, and he isn't a twirler, either. Eddie Collins is having a slump. He hasn't made a clean safe hit in the last 20 trips to the plate. Mark Anthony's speech had nothing on the remarks addressed to Umpire Held by Dennie Wilie Sunday. These two get along like a couple of strange bulldogs. Society Note St. Louis fans gave Umpire Byron " a pop-bottle shower. There was a large attendance. Brooklyn is one team that hasn't heard the news about -Matty and his winning tossers.s. The Dodgers keep on beating the Reds just as if they were the old 1916 rnpdejls with a new ton- neau. ' . The New Tork Giants not only seem to have the pennant sewn up, but every day they put a lot of fancy stitching on the job. George Sisler refuses to cover part of the Browns' field. About two feet of the-old bench is forbidden territory to George. Since the Browns joined him Sisler has played first, second, third, short, pitcher, catcher and out field. Tough luck George isn't a ver satile chap. You know Barney Oldfield. Well, when Sisler steals second they think the speed king is driving. Ross to Swim at Honolulu. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 13. Norman Ross, of ban Francisco, holder of sev eral swimming records, plans to leave tomorrow for Honolulu to compete In amateur races to be held there early in September. Miss Claire Galligan. of New Rochelle, N. Y., is expected here tomorrow to compete in the woman's championship races scheduled for August 18. Miss Galligan has an nounced that after competing here she will go to Honolulu to take part in the women s events there. rem I THIN( PEYTON GRAVELY DID A GREAT, THING WHEN HE INVENTED I PLUG TOBACCO.

FIRE DANGER I S ISSUE If Sportsmen Do Not Exercise Care Hunting Will Be Stopped, De- Clares Executive; Tomor row Is First Day. SALEM. Or.. Aug. 13. (Special.) Governor Withycombe today refused to close the deer season xipon the rec ommendation of State Forester Elliott. The season will open Wednesday and will go on as usual, but how long it will continue will depend entirely upon the sportsmen themselves, the execu tive declared. "I have conferred with the State Game Warden, State Forester and others well qualified to speak on the subject, and I find a wide divergence of opinion as to whether or not the opening of the season will be a menace to the forests. Request Made Too Late. "I am of the opinion that the request came too late to decide upon a closed season at this time. Hunting parties have made their preparations for the season and it would work a hardship upon a great number of people to de clare the season closed at this time. "But instructions have been given to keep a close watch of conditions, and I wish to make a personal appeal to sportsmen to use every care possible to avoid fires. If this care is not ex ercised and fires are started because of the hunting season, I wish to issue the warning now that the season will be closed immediately and the hunters compelled to leave the woods. State Forester Answered. "As a general rule, I believe that sportsmen endeavor to be careful, and if they exercise the proper degree of care now there will be no necessity for interfering with the season's sport. In response to a letter from State Forester Elliott setting out his reasons for closing the deer season, which was sent to the executive following' the verbal request made by the forester. Governor Withycombe sent the follow ing letter to Mr. Elliott: "I acknowledge receipt of your let ter of August 13 recommending that this office issue a proclamation post poning the opening of the hunting sea son until September 1, or until such time as a general rain occurs in the timbered sections of the state. Fire Danger Held Negligible. "You will probably recall that about two weeks since, I, upon my own initi ative, called you for a conference on this subject, and at that time you did not express yourself favorable to this action. Since that conference I have taken the matter up with the State Game Warden and a number of sports men, who believe the danger of forest fires from experienced hunters Is really negligible. The forests have been full of campers all Summer, and the in creased danger from hunters should not be great. "Since the date of the open Beason for deer, August 15, is so near, and a great many hunters have already formed definite plans for hunting, it would seem absolutely unfair to issue such a proclamation. However, I would suggest that your staff keep a very close watch on the situation, and If it is evident that forest fires have increased by reason of hunting, I shall be glad to issue such a proclamation promptly." GIRLS' MATCHES CLOSE JUNIOR FLAYERS OF LAURELHURST PLAY FAST TENNIS. Misses Bohlander, Stone and La Roche Are Winners Tourney to Close Saturday. Laurelhurst Club's Junior girl players supplied the sensation of the third day of the intra-club tennis tourney yes terday. Three three-set matches were staged during the afternoon, each of which re mained nip and tuck to the very end. Miss Nadine Bohlander furnished a sur prise when she defeated Miss Dorothy Bush, 6-3, 2-6, 6-3. Miss Dorothy La Roche vanquished Miss Dorothy Don Ion, 9-7, 2-6, 6-3.

DEER HUNTERS WARNED DANGER OF FOREST FIRES CITED BY GAME WARDEN. Co-operation of Sportsmen AVho Enter Wilds Tomorrow In Protecting Forests Is Asked. The necessity for caution with fire on the part of the hundreds of hunters who will invade Oregon forests tomor row, the opening of the deer season west of the Cascades, is strongly emphasized by Carl D. Shoemaker, State Game Warden. "On account of the extreme drouth, with its attendant fire hazard to our timber resources," said Mr. Shoemaker, "I urge all hunters and campers who go into the forests to use the utmost caution in the setting and extinguish ing of their campflres. They should be absolutely certain that the fire is out when leaving camp. Matches should not be thrown carelessly into under brush or along trails. Every effort should be made to prevent more fires. Good sportsmen will co-operate with forest fire officials in preventing and putting out timber fires. "The timber resources of Oregon are of incalculable value, not only from the point of view of lumjer, but for cover for our wild game, and it is to the greatest interest of all sportsmen to assist in their conservation."
