will b in the nlnk of condition. The
moat important bout ia the Muff Bron
son-Franki Tucker go In Everett,
Wash for the lightweight champion
shin of the Pacific Coast. There la
considerable arruraent in San Fran
Cisco as to who is the lightweight
champion of the Coast. The Southern
papers have it figured out that the title
belongs either to Jimmy uunaec, narry
Palsina-er or Frankie Farren. Eacb
boxer has his supporter In tha news
paper field. The other night Farren
did a comeback and now all of tha
papers ara hailing him as a champion.
How Farren or Pelstnger have any
claim to tha title Is more than Joe
Klanla-an can ficure out. Bronson de
feated both Pelsinger and Farren and
has held his own with every man whom
he has fought sinca he won the title
from George Ingle.
Lightweights Vie.
Prankle Tucker is no cinch for any
boxer and he will give Muff a good
battle In Everett on Labor Day. Real
izlng the situation. Bronson is nursing
his injured shoulder along like a pet
and doing all tha light training ba can.
As soon as his shoulder and arm get
Into condition he will step out and start
the hard grind of boxing with his
scarring partners.
Aberdeen will ba the scene of two
10-round bouts on the same bill. Harry
Druximan. match-maker of the Moose
Club of Aberdeen, is staging the show
and it promises to draw a capacity
crowd.
Steve Reynolds, the tough Seattle
middleweight, who flattened Frank
Farmer in 10 seconds in Seattle last
year, will box Fighting Jimmy Darcy,
the local claimant of the middleweight
title, in tha windup of 10 three-minute
rounds. Reynolds and Darcy are two
of the most agresslve 160 pounders In

Claire "Kid" Bromeo, tha San Fran

in the semi-windup, which will also go
10 rounds.
Two Portland boxers will also go It
rounds in Astoria, but their names

When the Base Hospital of Camp
Lewis stepped on the diamond they
looked like a bunch of "hicks" lust out
from "Farmervllle," but before the
game had lasted many innings tha local
prides began to look foolish and were
walloped in the end, 4-1.
Bill Smyth, manager of the Base
Hospital nine. Is former assistant
sporting editor of The Oregonlan.
Smyth developed a fine combination
and Pitcher Coffman, the diminutive
aouthpaw from South California, could
certainly bolster up some of the local
shipyard nines. Coffman allowed only
three scattered hits. Bill Stumpf being
the only tone to make a real hit Bill
smashed the pillet for two bases.
Outfielder Clynes, of the Grant Smith-
Porter nine, one of tha heaviest long
distance hitters in tha league, quit the
Grant Smith-Porter yards and is now
worklnr at Foundation. Clynes played
center field for tha Westsiders when
they played tha Base Hospital. During
tha first half of the season he was the
heaviest hitter on the nine and aided
that nine considerably in keeping in
tha running.

Stumpf will have a hard Job keeping
his reputation as the best shortstop in
the circuit If French, the iwmooi
shortstop, continues to play as gooa

With the two major league seasons
fast drawing to a dose, speculation Is
rife as to whether the world's series
this year. If played, will draw as well
as usual and arouse the enthusiasm of
tha fans and fanettes as in seasons
gone by.- Many of those dyed-ln-the
wool fans who view the situation from
neutral ground let's say. from' cities
not involved In the prospective series-
are inclined to mink it will ba but
moderate success.
Tha owners of tha clubs hovering
around the top rung of the ladder in
both leagues all appear confident that
the two clubs lucky enough to be in
volved will not ba disrupted during the
series, and there ia every reason to be
lieve the attendance and Interest will
be nearly equal to that of past years.
Contrary to general opinion, there
Is still wide interest in baseball, de
spite the trials and tribulations the
National pastime has had sinca the
start of tha world-wide conflict, and
the world's series is still the blue-
ribbon event in sportdom. With Boa-
ton. In the American League, keyed
up for a close finish, and the Chicago
Cubs clinging tightly to first place in
the National League, don't think for
a moment that the cities of New York,
Philadelphia, St. Louis and a few
more of the big league towns are not
going to show a lot of interest in tha
coming classic.
While a large number of the people
who talk and play baseball are serv
ing their country overseas, there is
sure to be a large attendance at tha
world's series. It has been demon
strated this year that the fans will
turn out in goodly numbers for a stel
lan attraction, and the world's series
is baseball's greatest attraction.
Portland baseball fans and those of
the Pacific Coast League will watch
with interest the work of Charlie Hol-
locher, Cub shortstop, who was a mem
ber of the Portland Beavers in 1917.
Hollocher has been playing a brilliant
game for the Chicago Nationals and is
regarded as the ind of the season
Charlie Pick, last season with tha
San Francisco Seals, is holding down
third base for the Cubs, and Roll i a
Zeider, former Seal shortstop. Is play
ing second for Fred Mitchell's National
League leaders.
Portland has one of its former pitch
ing stars with tha Boston Red Sox in
the person of Carl Maya He has been
one of the Red Sox mainstays this sea
son, and may get a chance to hurl one
or more of the games in the coming
series.

athletic directors of tha various ship
building plants to discuss tha tennis
situation and draw up the schedules in

Each shipyard is to send a number of
representatives to enter in tha singles

ba made to get the winners trophies
and tha City Park conrts probably will
be used for staging the tournament.
There are a number of star inter

of that kind would bring out some of
the best- talent in the city. Among
the 10,000 shipyard workers in this
