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.
"PRET" HOLT IS ELECTED
PORTLAND BOY IS CHOSEN TO
CAPTAIN STANFORD ELEVEN.
Choice to Head Footbull Squad
Causes No Surprise Real
Progress Mude in Game.
STANFORD UNIVERSITY. Cal.. Dec.
7. (Special.) Alfred Preston Holt,
popularly known as "Pret," will lead
the Stanford varsity football team
next year.
At the circle in Palo Alto today.
Holt was elected captain of the cardi
nal squad for the 1920 season. The
choice of football men was by no
means a surprise, for It had been
Benerally considered that Holt Was
the man for the position.
The meeting was held in conformity
with the regular custom when the
cardinal players lined up in Palo
Alto and were officially photographed
for the Stanford year book, the "1921
Vuad."
The new leader made a name for
himself in 1918 at Stanford, when he
captained' the cardinal players in the
students' army training corps. He
has shown steady development from
that time and acquitted himself with
credit at halfback in the recent big
name with California. Holt came to
Stanford from Portland to study eco
nomics and incidentally has found
time to play lootbau. He is 21 years
old and belongs to the Chi Phi lodge.
Preston Holt, formerly of Lincoln
high school here, is an all-around ath
iete, having starred In football, base
ball and soccer. He was captain of
several Lincoln soccer teams and
played quarterback on the Railsplit
ters" eleven during his final year in
school.
-In baseball, Pret. as he Is known
to the athletic followers here, excelled
at second base.

Chairman Creller Declines to Com
ment of Rumor of Having Two
Coast Elevens Play.
PASADENA, Cal., Dec. 7. (Special.)
There were no new developments on
the football situation here tonight.
Chairman w. r. Creller, of the foot
ball committee of the tournament of
roses association, issued the follow
ing statement:
"Pending further word from Har
vard and the officials of the railroad
administration, all football matters
will be held in abeyance."
The consensus of opinion among
members of the local association is
that the whole affair will be Ironed
out satisfactorily within the next few
days. In the meantime, although the
committee has been urged to name
the western team, it has decided it
will not do so. Heavy pressure is be
ing brought to bear on official Wash
ington to permit the crimson to make
the jaunt.
It has been hinted that Oregon and
Washington might meet here New
Year's day or that the tournament
would feature one of the other of the
northern institutions against the Uni
versity of Southern California in case
Harvard could not make the trip.
Creller refused to discuss this angle
of the situation.

Light -Heavy to Challenge
Dempsey and Carpentier.
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.

Piano Artistry of Oregon
Girl Is Highly Praised.
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

SALEM. Or., Dec. 7. (Special.)
Signing up of more than 300 acres
of loganberries owned by independ
ent growers of this vicinity, and the
promise of a new cannery to be lo
cated in Salem, were chief develop
ments at a meeting of representative
farmers from almost every section of
Marion county held here Saturday
flight.
The purpose of the session, as out
lined by those in charge, was to sign
up acreage not now under contract
and to organize so that growers may
command the highest prices for their
product during the 1920 season. While
no name has been adopted for the
new organization. It probably will be
known as the Valley Growers asso
ciation. Bruce Cunningham of Sa

manager for the Puyallup & Sumner
Fruit Canning company of Puyallup.
Wash., nf which W. H. Paulhamus is
president. Mr. Scott said his com
pany had great faith in the future of
the Salem district, and it was the
purpose of the corporation to erect a
cannery here in the event sufficient
acreage was available. He declared
that there was no danger of low
prices for at least another year, for
the reason that the demand for ber
ries was fast increasing, both in the
local and eastern markets.
Professor C. I. Lewis of the Oregon
Growers' Co-Operatlve association.
presented an outline of the plans of
the association for the future of the
industry in Oregon. Other speakers
