TTTE 3IORXIXG OltEGOXIAX, MONDAY, DECE3IBER 8, 1919. WILDE'S TECHNIQUE IS Punch, However, Is Not as Dangerous as Expected. REAL SKILL IS EVIDENT Newspaper Critics Declare Clever ness Is "ot Connected With Slugging Methods In JJ. S. CHICAGO, Dec. 7. Although beaten, Jimmy Willie, British flyweight cham pion, is regarded as a remarkable fighter for his weight, according to the views tonight of newspaper box ing experts who saw the pride of the Knglish fistic world outpointed by Jack Sharkey, New York bantam weight, in the Englishman's first American appearance in Milwaukee last night. Experts agreed that Wilde's superb blocking, head slipping, accurate hit ting and gameness and his cleverness in boxing would be more highly ap praised under the English system of scoring points than by the American etyie. Wilde did not box a defensive battle; on the contrary, he did his share of the leading and stood toe to toe and slugged with his heavier opponent. But he did not pack the punch that was expected of him, although his right cross was dangerous until the final bell. The weight question was a tremendous disadvantage to the little Welshman and the ten-round distance was not to his liking as most of his contests have been for 20 rounds. Experts pointed out that he prob ably would have made a better show ing If he had fought at 103 or 104 pounds, his usual fighting weight, in stead of building himself up to 107 pounds. Under the Wisconsin rule, there cannot be more than 10 pounds difference in the weight of boxers ex cept in the heavyweight class. The receipts of the match were a disappointment. The promoters had figured on $38,000, but that dwindled to about J19.000. Wilde was guar anteed $11,000, win, lose or draw. Sharkey, boxing on a percentage bas is, received about J3000.

DARCY TO BE MET HERE St. Paul Scrapper, After Milwaukie Bout Wednesday Night, Will Return to East. Tommy Gibbons. St. Paul light heavyweight, who enjoys the distinc tion of being one of the few boxers In the world who has never bad a referee's decision rendered against him. will hurry back to St. Paul as soon as his engagement in Milwaukie with Jimmy Darcy Is filled. Wednes day night. As soon as he arrives back on home soil, his suave manager, Eddie Kane will proceed to issue a few challenges and tell the world in general that Tommy Gibbons is ready and eager to meet either Georges Carpentier, heavyweight champion of Europe, or Jack Dempsey, heavy weight champion of the world. When Kane said yesterday that Gibbons was ready to meet either Carpentier or Dempsey he meant it and is ready to talk business with any promoter in the country. Gibbons' Record Cited. As to Gibbons, Kane had the follow ing paragraphs to say: "Although Tommy Gibbons will only scale about Hi) pounds, I am continent mat ne can beat Georges Carpentier and give Jack Dempsey an awful battle. Car pentier will not outweigh Uibbons over 10 or 15 pounds, while Dempsey of course would have the advantage of 20 or more pounds. But this does not worry Tommy. Gi boons is tne greatest man in the world today at his weight. He holds decisions over Billy Miske, Harry Greb, George Chip, Tom McMahan, Mick King, Jackie Clark and a list of other top-notchers. whom no other man can boast of hav ing beaten in their career. "Some of the fans may think trial Tommy Gibbons would not stand a chance with either Carpentier or Dempsey, but in truth he has a better chance to beat either one ot inem than any other boxer in the ring to day at any weight. Toi-umy is as clever and hits as hard as his brotner, Mike, and is much bigger in stature all over. Gibbons Declared at Best. "He is Just reaching the height of his career and from now on will have to be reckoned with' In the heavy weight ranks as well as the llght- heavvwelsrht division, of which he is the ria-htful champion, by virtue oi his victories over America's leading middlewelghts and light- heavy weitrhts. "I understand that this boy Jimmy Darcv. whom Tommy will battle in Milwaukie Wednesday night, is tough, rugged youngster. Well, he had better be for he will be In for a speedy session." Kane received an offer for Gibbons to box in San Francisco yesterday, but turned it down because the money was not attractive enough. Despite Gibbons' formidable record and standing in pugilistic circles, Jimmy Darcy is none at all awed, and worked like a trojan yesterday in the gymnasium. Both boxers will wind up their training today and take things easy tomorrow. The rest of the bouts of Wednesday night's card in Milwaukie are: Bobby Ward vs. Stanley Willis, eight rounds; Georgie Brandon vs. Neil Zimmerman, eight rounds; Weldon Wing vs. Carl Martin, six rounds.

Miss Winifred Byrd la Recital Is Rated as One of Greatest Musi cians. According; to Critic. BY JOSEPH MACQUEEN. REGON has the pleasure o and honor of saluting a new piano star. Oregon's own, (a girl bora and educated In Salem, Or. Miss Wini fred Byrd, who appeared in piano concert in the .Alcazar theater yester day afternoon, and won the plaudits of a large audience, which was com posed of many professional musicians from this and other cities. Not only is Miss Byrd an Oregon pianist, but by the divine right of her music genius. Is one of the greatest woman pianists In this country. In deed, who is superior to Miss Byrd in piano artistry in this country among native born women? It Is difficult to determine. It could not be settled off-hand. Genius has been defined by a high authority as belonging to the rnner soul of music, and In piano inter- GIBBOUS pretation to be an honest, painstaking exemplification of "a heaven-sent mes sage." It is an elusive quality that greatnational poets have, but few musicians have it because it ia a rare mental gift granted to few mortals. Miss Byrd has it in her music. At her concert, yesterday. Miss Byrd reached heights of intellectual mentality in her piano work far be yond dry piano technique and music scores. She appeared as a creator of beautiful prismal lights glowing in dozens of mental colors, colors paint ed by a master artist. This qual ity in music also has in it the soul stuff of which Paderewskl, Busoni. Harold Bauer are made. Along this royal road of flowers, on which we more humble mortals look from a distance. Winifred Byrd walks as one used to the path. It is not as a clever wit once said that 'genius is the capacity for making somebody else take infinite pains. In piano music at least performance is all in all, and here is where Miss Byrd shines. Miss Byrd, piano star, is a witch who charms away our senses from mundane things, and it is agreeable to come under her sway. Miss Byrd's modesty, her quietness before her audience, her humility when she is greeted by storms of laudation, are refreshing to concert goers accus tomed to note temperaments of art ists. From the soft silkiness of silk, to the immense power of a startling dy namic effect all is mastered by this new piano star, with apparent ease. She even visions an individual mes sage. Her piano technique is great and astonishing, as noted in the one extra number "she played, the Liszt "La Campanella," a selection of in comparable piano difficulty to any one not in active piano practice. Miss Byrd gave it a charming rendition. Miss Byrd, with her bobbed hair, her cameo-like face, her utter absorp tion of manner except to the per formance of the music, is a lively, but grave sprite from fairyland. Of course, she played without any music scores. Her interpretation of the Chopin "Fantasle, No. 49" was nearly J loganberries, raspberries, strawber sensational in Its sudden announce- ries. and, in fact, all fruit grown in ment of great and unsuspected talent in th tie pianist. Who ever thought I our Miss Byrd, from this Oregon j that of ours, a girl who left us just the other day to 6eek her fortune in the big world of music, would be able, so soon, to play that number with such all-round artistry? Her preachment of the famous Prelude was a poet's dream of soft, silken beauty, while her "Etude" had stirring, crashing ensation. Here she showed piano force that was nearly masculine in strength of presentation. The Brahms "Intermezzo" had quiet, soft dignity to the end. a A decided, popular favorite was the pulsing "Turkish March," from Ruins of Athens" (Beethoven-Rubln-tein), which was played so enter tainingly that it created a ripple of delight among its hearers. Miss Byrd cleverly portrayed the march of Turkish cavalry, even to the diB tant hoofbeats as the last of the horses sank away In the sandy dis tance of the desert. It had to be repeated. The Mendelssohn Liszt "On Wings of Song" lived again in quiet, sent! mental grace, and created somehow an inner picture of a tall, nodding lily swaying in the sunshine of perfect June morning. The famous Liszt legend, St. Fran cis Walking on the Waters," was in terpreted with due appreciation of its chant-like message and sea and wind effects. It will long live pleas- ureably in our memories. Th: two American McDowells received noble renditions. The celebrated Schubert Tausiz "March Militalre" was played with rare brilliancy and astonishing ease of finger-work. It is often played in this city, but surely never more artistically than yesterday. Miss Byrd received many recalls. but she only accepted two of them, So passes one of the young season's big concerts, KIWANIS MEET TOMORROW Important Business scheduled to Come Before Club.
