M'ALLISIER AND KING WILL CLASH "Middlewefghts Sign for Battle n Before Officers and Men of ,: Fort Lawton, Wash- AUGUST .17, IS AGREED UPON ; McAllister Will Leave Portland Next a. Friday for Seattle and at Present j. Is in San Francisco Is Dae Here Soon. BT JAMES J. RICHARDSON. ?. Bob McAllister, middleweight boxer, has been signed to tangle with Mick King- in a ten-round bout at Fort Law , ton, Wash., where the officers and men . of the 14th United States Infantry are ' said to be hungry for a real scrap. Ar . rangements for the bout were con .' eluded yesterday when McAllister's ? representative signed articles for the - bout. Marty FarrelL who was to hare ; boxed King at Fort Lawton this after noon, is comfortably domiciled at Oak land. CaL, . where he fights next 1, Wednesday night. Instead of meeting Battling Ortega as originally planned - rarren will take on spud iiurpny, an . other hard nut in the middleweight division. If Karrell succeeds in taming Murphy Wednesday night he will be .given Battling Ortega to clash with the following week. McAllister is at present in San Fran- Cisco, but will leave the Bay City to night for Portland where he will re sume his work at the Foundation ship yards and also train evenings for his clash with King one week from today. Ever since McAllister and King put ' np a hurricane ten-round bout at Se attle for the benefit of the Seattle Girls' Victory Carnival Puget Sound fight followers have been clamoring for another opportunity to watch these class AA middleweight in action. Austin and Salt, Seattle promoters, had - promised Farrell the next bout with King and kept their word and signed Marty to fight Mick at Fort Lawton, but Farrell's actions have been well aired and he and Seattle fight fans now 'jibe like two strange bulldogs. McAllister will put on the finishing . touches in his training at the Rose City Athletic Club. He will leave Port- - land next Friday for Seattle. Mc Allister and King drew close to $5000 . when they fought at Seattle three ,-. weeks ago. doe to the forest fires raging through out the deer district, and the closing of the major part of the open season by the game commission to prevent the further spread of fire by the careless hunters. The rain this Summer has changed such a condition. JiEW RULES ARE ADOPTED High School Athletic .Regulations Are Modified. SALEM, Or, Aug. 9. (Special.) The State Board of Control for high school athletics,, representing 70 schools all over the state and consisting of J. A. Churchill, state superintendent; A. C. Strange, superintendent at Baker, and J. C Nelson, principal of the Salem High School, adopted some new rules covering high school athletics at a meeting here today. It was decided to send out letters to all the schools ask ing whether any more modifications of the rules are desired and urging that the schools in all athletic activities ad here closely to the organization. A rule that if a boy left school in the Spring without completing the semester, and thus losing his credits, he' would be barred from athletics in the Fall, and another that a boy would be barud if he were not in school by October 15, were both suspended. This action was taken because of the lack of strong athletio material, and also because numerous boys are called away from school early and cannot return until late because they are required in the harvest fields or other work essen tial to the prosecution of the war. 17 SWIMMERS IN ANNUAL MARATHON Good View of Multnomah Club Event Can Be Had From Hawthorne Bridge. he is one of the oldest players in the game. Of the 13 games played between the Yankees and the Browns this season, the New Yorkers have won eight, lost four and tied one. The Yankees have won only one or two games from Bernle Boland since he first came into the America League. TWO CHAMPIONS ENTERED After Jack Dempsey flattened Fred ' Fulton in the first round of their bout at Harrison, N. J some one asked Dempsey what he hit Fulton with. "With my fist, of course," replied Dempsey. "What kind of a punch was it?" "Oh. I don't know, I never do." Robert Edgren, recently retired sport ing editor of the New York World, timed the match. "I timed the fight In 18 J-5 seconds," " said Edgren after the bout. "Fulton - was on the floor exactly 14 seconds. lie was lifted up by Dempsey Just four seconds after being counted out. Short and sweet, eh? Jack Dempsey is out after a bout with Georges Carpentier, said mix to be staged in Paris for the benefit of the ; soldier boys. Dempsey wants to go across the briny deep immediately after he has finished his appearance with Willie Meehan in San Francisco. He and his manager. Jack Kearns, believe thousands of dollars could be raised by Jsck's appearance in bouts In both Paris and England. Despite war con- dltions. sporting amusements in Paris are drawing big crowds and a really ' rood fight would be a record-breaker. Dempsey believes he could do more for his country so engaged man in any other way. A letter from Willie Bernstein in Pan Francisco says that Private Bobby Evans and all other Portlanders stand ace-high in the estimation of Frisco fight fans. . Evans will give Jimmy Coffroth a tussle for promoting honors 1 if they leave the bars down long enough. Bobby likes San Francisco from soup to nuts. Jack Dillon, the veteran light-heavyweight battler, is now matchmaker of a boxing club at Muncie, Ind. Besides arranging the matches Jack will do some battling himself. Muncie Is a good fight town and somo big matches are staged there. Dillon came out to Portland about four months ago and ' went from here to Tacoma to meet Frank Farmer. Farmer beat the former Bearcat in every round of the six that they fought and Dillon went back home a much broken boxer.

Anxious hunters may drown all fears of a postponement Of the deer-hunting season. Members of the Oregon Forest Association, in session yesterday, as sured the State Game Commission that they would not petition Governor Withycombe to delay the opening the Beason.

SMITH CHALLENGES GRAND ARMY MEN. Sprinter, 74 Years Old, Ready to Rua Miles Agalast Any SO in Qnarter-Mlle Hike, Colonel J. L. Smith, past commander of Memorial Post, No. 141. Grand Army of the Republic of Detroit. Mich., who annually challenges any 20 Grand Army veterans to race him five miles, each of the 20 men to run a quarter of a mile, arrived in Portland yesterday in advance of the Detroit delegation to the National encampment of the Grand of the Republic, which will convene here August 19. Colonel Smith is 74 years old, but is an excellent living example of one who has led a clean life. He is. hale and hearty and as nimble on his feet as a young athlete. He has white hair and a face tnat wouia ao justice to a man half of his age. "I wanted to get on the job early, that's why I am here," said Colonel Smith, last night. "I have agreed to run five miles straightaway against a relay of 20 men, each man running a quarter of a mile. My proposition is that I will win the relay and also agree to give $25 to any runner who can beat me any quarter of a mile he runs against me. Colonel Howe, of Fort Huron, Miclu, has agreed to get a relay team to gether to challenge Colonel Smith. Howe will bring a number of his run ners with him and the rest of the team will be recruited from Grand Army of the Republic veterans who will be in Portland during the encamp raent- Colonel Smith Is at the Mult nomah Hotel. and the few swimmers who did enter had a battle with the elements as well as with each other. The wind was blowing a .gale and only two or three water men finished the long grind from the Oregon Yacht Club to the foot of Salmon street. This year Instructor Jack Cody thought it advisable to change the course of the swim, conse quently the large entry list and the promise of a great race. The 17 swimmers who will compete are: O. J. Hosford, Myron Wllsey, Frank Kiernan, Jr., Jeff Harbke, Harry Eddas, G. W. Smith, Robert Enegrene, Louis Balbach, "Dutch"' Reilly, Frank Lindstrum, R. B. Cole, Ed Leslie, Clyde Ewing, "Happy" Keuhn, Cy Seymour, R. Hollenberry and T. Fleskee. The real race figures to be between O. J. Hosford, Frank Kiernan, Jr., Bob Enegrene, Myron Milsey and Louis Bal bach, but there are several "dark horses" in the lineup this year and some surprises may be sprung. All of the entrants have been train ing hard in the club tank and swim ming across the river several times a week for the past month. The mara thon, which is for men, is not the only attraction, as there will be a swim for women starting at the same time, and along the same course. Norman Ross, Americas greatest swimmer, will be unable to compete in the marathon, as he could not get the required furlough from the United States Army at the present time. Ross recently received his commission as a Lieutenant in the aviation corps and has been so busy that he has had little time to think of swimming and the handling of his battle plane will occupy his time for a while to come. Medals will go to all of the swim mers who finish the race. Frank E. Watkins will act as starter; George Byrne. Harry Fischer, A. D. Wakeman and Richard R. Sharp will be the judges of the finish; George L. Parker and George Phllbrooke, timers, and George A. Anderson clerk of the course.

Frankie won all the wav with the Oakland scrapper taking the worst beating fans in this neck of the woods nave seen mm handed. He was knocked down in the fourth round and almost out. But Farren. probably fighting to orders, was careful and failed to crowd his man where a knock out might have come. Farren Shows Headvrorlc Dundee was not as good as usual and led only rarely. Farren never looked better and never put up a head ler rignt. The Waltar McDevitt-Joe Miller match was called a draw. Miller looked to have a shade in the slugging bout, tnougn not a wide margin. Soldier Jake Stahl failed to show for the Joe Rivers match and Joe White, who has boxed with Rivers at EI Verano, was substituted. Rivera I Slow. White was the winner beyond any question. Rivers, as usual, was slow and lacked everything. He Just keeps on going back. Other results: 'George Shade lost on a foul to' Kid Tlllie Herman in the first round. Shade landed a low punch. Soldier Billy Neal won over Frankie Denny. Eddie Landon scored a win over Dave Shade. Danny Edwards beat Sailor George Brandon, who evidently has been fight ing too much.

TROUT and other species of the finny tribe in Eagle Creek are going to have one terrible time during the next few days evading the dangling hooks of two of Portland's well known min ions of the law. Harry Circle, captain of inspectors. and Frank Erwin, sergeant and also head of the motorcycle squad, left yes terday on a three days' fishing trip to the well-known trout stream where they intend basketing the limit. Circle has been telling the "cop pers" at police headquarters some ,in teresting stories regarding his prowess with a Leonard rod and challenged the entire force to catch more trout than he could in any stream, any time, any way, anywhere. Frank Erwin, he of speed cop fame, learned of Circle's boast and challenged Harry. It was agreed that the one catching the less number of fish go without, eating for one day.
