-
Joe Page. T. M. C. A. athletic direc
tor at the Bremerton Navy-yard, was
a Portland visitor yesterday, and after
conferring with the manager of the
Standifer Shipyard team at Vancouver,
arranged a game with the shipbuilders
for the Camp Perry eleven of Bremer
ton, to be played in Vancouver, Sunday,
November 24.
St. Mary's College, of Oakland, Cat,
is scheduled to clash with the Mare
Island Marines tomorrow at Oakland
provided the Spanish influenza ban
does not interfere with their, contest.
Football games are being played Id
Ban Francisco without being interfered
with by the health authorities. All
outdoor e ports are being encouraged.
The Multnomah Club football players
are confident of their ability to take
a fall out of the Camp Lewis eleven
when they meet again in a return con
test. The Thirteenth Divisioners have
a formidable aggregation but only
sheer luck assisted the -oldiers in
emerging from last Saturday's fracas
with the long end of a 7 to 0 score.
When Camp Lewis comes here for their
game with the Winged-M Club they
are going to have a hard battle on
their hands.

Heavyweight's Former Man

CALL TO NAVY LIKELY
San. Francisco IDraft Board Asked io
Release Fighter Now in
Eastern Shipyards.
BY JAMES J. RICHARDSON".
With 500,00e,000 bugs ruminating in
your left arm after a gentle thrust of
the hypo needle by Doc Applewhite in
an effort to stave off the "flu," one
can't really be blamed for showing
friges of becoming- "g-oofy," but that
little episode has nothing at all to do
with the happiness that prevailed in
Milwaukie yesterday, when Jack Demp
sey was granted a permanent injunction
against his former manager, John R-is-ner,
of New York, known to the fistic
world thanks to Dempsey as "John
the Barber," which restrains Reisner
from sharing in Dempsey's ring earn
ings. As a sign that there was no hard
feelings between the judge and Jack
Dempsey, the magistrate ordered Reis
ner to kick through with 500 "smacks"
for Dempsey and also to pay the costs
of trying the case.
Surprise A Traits II I m.
But Jack Dempsey has a nice little
surprise party waiting for him in the
request of the Great Lake naval train
ing station, which is after the battler
to join the service as a sailor riveter.
The story has gone forth from one of
the Atlantic Coast shipyards that Demp
sey, during his spare moments, is a
riveter in the Moon shipyards on the
Atlantic Coast, which statement has
caused Lieutenant John F. Kennedy, of
the Great Lakes naval training station,
to wire one of the iSan Francisco draft
' boards asking for a release of Dempsey
so that he might join the Navy as a
"gob" riveter.
The impression prevails through the
East that Dempsey is registered for
the draft in San Francisco. The Bay
City officials quickly answered Lieu
tenant Kennedy's telegram. When Ken
nedy does locate the . city in which
Dempsey is registered and secures his
release, the Great Lakes authorities
will put the proposition straight to the
heavyweight fighter and tell him it's
his duty to climb into a "gob" uniform.
The message from Lieutenant Kenne
dy to the San Francisco draft board
reads as follows:
"I understand Jack Dempsey is riv
eting in a shipyard on the Atlantic
Coast. If you will grant his release
and wire it to us, we can give him
a riveting job in the Navy here as an
enlisted man with the colors, and not
for a private concern. I trust you will
favor us by granting the release. Demp
sey knows nothing of this. As his pic
ture shows him riveting in a shipyard,
3 would announce that here is a chance
to drive rivets as a sailor in Uncle
Sam's shipyard."
It might be that Lieutenant Kennedy
wants Dempsey as one of the "gob"
boxers to go to London for the inter
national boxing tournament to be held
at the National Sporting Club Decem
ber 11, 12 and 13. The tourney will
be for boxers of all the allied navies,
and they will compete for the King's
trophy, which has been presented by
King George to the club for competi
tion. The ministers who are criticising box
ing as cruel would do well to get in
touch with returned officers and sol
diers not only of the United States
forces, but of the allies. They will tell
you that the soiciier who knows how
to use his fists in a hand-to-hand en
counter is the i.ian who can wield a
bayonet with deidly effect. When the
United States Government is spending
millions of dolla. a on the world's great
est boxers and placing them in the
various cantoni;onts instructing the
soldiers in boxinv and bayonet fighting
it doesn't look the ministers have
a leg to stand on ...i their argument.
Facts, not theories, is what is wanted
in these days of democracy.
T
Frankie Russell dropped in yesterday
and wants to fight Bob McAllister, if
the middleweight will agree to make
160 pounds. Whils frankie was talking
about fighting Bot he carelessly bent
a 40-penny nail w.thout much effort.
"I want to fight someone, and I don't
care who it is," said Russell.
The New Orlears scrapper has been
paying a visit to Tommy Tracey every
day in the hopes of learning when the
first boxing smoker will be held here.
"Pinky Lewis, the big chocolate
drop, who waltzed with Frank Kendall,
Ben Bordson and Willie Meehan a few
times, is anxious to take on Kendall or
any of the other heavyweights in this
part of the country.
SHIPBUILDERS GET GAME
FOUNDATION SQUAD WILL MEET
UNIVERSITY TOMORROW.
Bremerton Navy-Yard Failed to
Connect, and Coach Dewey
Took Eugene Offer.
The Foundation Shipyard eleven will
play the University of Oregon tomor
row at Eugene. Coach Dewey made
final arrangements over long-distance
phone yesterday with "Shy" Hunting
ton, and the shipbuilders will leave
Tortland tomorrow morning, tackling
the lemon-yellow gridironers on Kin
caid Kield in the afternoon and return
ing to Portland tomorrow night.
Dewey was waiting patiently to hear
from Bremerton Navy-yard regarding
a clash with the "gobs" tomorrow but
as nothing percolated over the wire
from the Navy-yard by noon yesterday
Dwey got in touch with Huntington
at Eugene and closed for a game at
Eugene.
The shipbuilders are going 6outh
tomorrow primed for hard battle, but
confident of their ability to take the
collegians into camp. They have been
working out at Vaughn Street Park
eince they returned from Camp Lewis,

SEATTLE PUNS BENEFIT
FAST BOXERS TO APPEAR IX
AVAR WORK SMOKER.
Billy Murray and Mickey King: Prob
ably Will Be Signed for
Top Attraction.
SEATTLE, Wash.. Oct. 30. (Special.)
A united war work fund boxing pro
grame, in which some of the best box
ers on the Coast will show their wares,
will be held in Seattle during- the cam
paign for Seattle's quota. If the In
fluenza ban is tilted by a week from
next Tuesday the- show will be staged
on that night.
The above announcement came as a
result of a telegram from "Sunshine
Jim" Coffroth, who is at the head of
the athletic department of the drive.
That Billy Murray may box Mickey
Kins: in the headLjner is a possibility.
Murray is in the service in Califor
nia, and the local promoters are mak
ing1 an effort to match him.
"We plan to put on an all-star pro
gramme," raid Caruso Dan. "We can
use many of the boys in the service, of
whom there are dozens up and down
the Coast capable of puttinsr up good
scraps. We already have sent out tel
egrams and will be able to announce
some definite matches coon."
An effort Is beinjr made to get
George Thompson, the- crack Camp
Lewis .miller, on the card. Thompson
is one of the best little men in the
country and those who have seen him
box think he has a good chance to beat
the bantamweight champ. Herman.
California boxers who are in the serv
ice will also appear on the card if
Austin and Salt are successful in their
present plans.
Should the Influenza ban Interfere
with the holding of the show on No
vember 12 it will be postponed one
week and held on tha following Tues
day. AMENDMENTS ARE SUBMITTED
A. A. TJ. Constitution May Be
Changed to Reinstate Soldiers.
NEW YORK, Oct. 31. Several im
portant proposed amendments to the
constitution of the Amateur Athletic
Union, to be considered at the coming
annual meeting of that organization
have been forwarded to all units of the
union. The principal ones have to do
with the reinstatement of soldier ath
letes, who, previously to or since en
tering service, have violated the rules
of amateurism.
One amendment would permit the re
instatement of an athlete in any branch
of the United States service or hon
orably discharged therefrom, who has
not committed more than one viola
tion of the A. A. U. code of amateurism.
Another provides that where an ath
lete has professionalized himself by giv
ing instruction to soldiers or sailors
he may be reinstated without the cus
tomary five-year period of probation.
Boys under 21, who, during the period
of the war received pay foi playground
assistance during the Summer months,
also retain their amateurism, accord
ing to a third amendment.
CROSS-COUNTRY RUN DROPPED
Coaches and Athletes In Army, and
Little Interest Taken.
That cross-country running as an in
tercollegiate sport will not be with us
this Fall is evident from the present
outlook.
There are but two big colleges in
the East that are showing a disposi
tion to get together hill-and-dale teams
Pennsylvania and Cornell. There is
quite naturally but little interest in
cross-country running in the general
run of colleges this year.
With all the best men in the Army,
and with many of the coaches in the
service as well, things are pretty slow.
In this respect Pennsylvania and Cor
nell are particularly fortunate, Cor
nell having Jack Moakley at home and
the Quakers two good emergency
coaches to fill Lawson Robertson's
shoes in George Orton and K. R. Bush
nell, both of them Red and Blue dis
tance stars of former years.
BOBBINS LOOKING FOR MATCH
Wrestler Says O'Connell Took Eu
gene Position to Avoid Him.
Earl Robbins is so confident of his
ability to defeat Ted Thye, Eddie
O'Connell, Walter Miller or any of the
other matmen in the country that yes
terday he offered to leave $500 in the
hands of the sporting editor any time
any wrestler agrees to cover the
amount.
Robbins is sorry that Eddie O'Connell
Is not in Portland and is out with the
statement that Eddie accepted the Eu
gene position in order to keep from
meeting him.
"I'll wrestle O'Connell in private or
any other way if he covers my money,"
said Robbins yesterday.
