OUT FRANK FARMER
English Champion Wins 10
Round Battle in Ninth.
CONTEST EVEN IN SIXTH
tYhlte Stows Away Bronson in Min
ute and 4 0 Seconds; Gorman
Baird Bout Is Draw.
BY RICHARD R. SHARP.
Boy MeCormiek, light-heavyweight
champion of England, knocked out
Frank Farmer, light-heavyweight
titleholder of the Pacific coast, in the
ninth round of their scheduled ten'
round battle in the main event of yes
terday's great fistic card at the Mil
waukle arena.
A left smash to Farmer's solar
plexus, followed by a terrific right
cross, put Farmer to the canvas for
the count of nine. He arose unstead
ily to his feet only to meet with a
shower of blows- and another smash
ing right cross put him down for
good. It was not necessary to count
the toll of ten, and Referee Denver
Kd Martin raised McCormick's hand
In token of victory.
Farmer was knocked out in his own
corner, and MeCormiek was the first
to help pull him up to his chair, as
sisted by Referee Martin and Far
mer's seconds, Dan Salt and Lonnie
Austin. The end came after the ninth
round had been under way two min
utes, and it was nearly ten minutes
before the Tacoma battler recovered
his full faculties.
farmer Draw First Blood.
Up to' the ninth round the fight
was fairly even, with Farmer holding
his own against the fighting son of
Krin. The first canto was even, with
both men feeling each other out.
Farmer stepped out in the second
round and opened up on MeCormiek,
taking a shade. There was not a
great deal of action in either of the
first two sessions. Farmer drew first
blood in the second round when he
ripped MeCormiek in the mouth.
MeCormiek came to the fore in the
third frame and might have earned
himself a slight shade, but the round
was nearly even.
The fourth round was even and the
fifth went to MeCormiek. Although
the Kngllahman was always willing
to lead. Farmer connected with many
punches. .Farmer drew the displeas
ure of the crowd on his head when
lie continually got some sort of a
headloek on MeCormiek in the
clinches. It might not have been in
tentional and it probably was caused
by the way the British champion
lunged in, but to most of the fans it
appeared as though Farmer was hold
ing oa.
Mix in Sixth Rvea.
The sixth round found both men
mixing evenly and fighting none too
hard. Farmer made a wonderful
purt in the seventh round and took
a shade. He hit MeCormiek low :n
this frame and MeCormiek nearly
dropped in pain. but weathered
through. Referee Martin did not see
the blow or thought it was fair. Me
Cormiek came back in the eighth
round like a mad bull and won the
honors.
The ninth round founu MeCormiek
on top of Farmer from the sound of
the gong and the knockout-followed
after he rushed Frank around the
ring.
The other ten-round main event be
tween Charley White and Muff Bron
son. was brief. White stowed Bron
son away In just 1 minute and 40
seconds after they had shaken hands.
White's left hook turned the trick.
Muff Bronson seemed afraid of the
Chicago boxer and did not land a
punch before he went down. Bron
son tried to get up, but fell over on
his side. Referee Martin did not give
him the count after he fell over and
tried to get up, and Bronson com
plained after the bout that he had not
been counted out.
ftorman-Bntrd Hout lrnr.
Joe Gorman and Karl Italrd fought
eight hul-ricaue rounds to a draw de
cision. It lookes as though Uorfnan
deserved a shade and only Baird's
wonderful eighth-round finish earned
him an even, break in the eyes of
the referee and his followers, who
were many. Baird put up a great
fight. Oorman smothered him with a
rain of blows from start to finish
and the Seattle featherweight was
always ready to swap back and he
landed many a solid wallop on Gor
man.
Gorman piled up many points at In
fighting and beat a steady tattoo of
body blows to Baird's rlbB and
' stomach. Gorman forced the fight
ing throughout the eight rounds.
In the fourth Baird opened a cut
over Gorman's left eye , which bled
profusely the rest of the battle. The
contest was one of the best ever
fought in this rart of the country.
Sominera Winn Over Mall.
The sixth round was a tyiirlwind
affair with both boya standing toe to
toe, taking and giving innumerable
. punches. The fight throughout was a
nip and tuck contest and could hardly
have been excelled. Gorman took a
big shade in the first and third rounds
and might be given a slight shade in
the i second, fourth and sixth. The
seventh was even and Baird earned
the call in the final round but not by
any margin 10 spare. it was one
grand battle. The fans saw 57
varieties of punches in the eight
rounds of milling and both were in
good shape at the end of the bout.
Al Sommers punched his way to
a decision over Jack Hall, an Aus
tralian middleweight, who fought
something like a kangaroo walks.
iou could tell he was from Aus
tralia the minute he squared off.
Sommers took a shade in every round
except the last, which was even, and
knocked Hall down for the count of
seven in the fifth canto. A right
cross ana two short letts put HaU
to the floor. He came back strong
In the seventh and eighth rounds
while Sommers tried to put him
away.
Brandon and Duffy Even.
Georgie Brandon of Portland and
Jimmy Duffy of Aberdeen fought a
slashing six-round draw in the first
bout on the programme. These two
featherweights fought like bulldogs.
Jimmy Cole of Seattle was to have
gone on with Brandon but could not
box because of a bad hand. Duffy
was in good shape and proved to be
a mighty tough youngster. Brandon,
who originally took the bout on
, three days' notice, was far from be
ing in the shape he was In when he
met Niel Zimmerman several weeks
ago, and on top of it has been both
ered with bad teeth the last two
days. He carried the fight to Duffy
In every round and, although he was,
on in receiving enu oi a lot OI
punches, deserved an even verdict.
Nearly 4000 fans Jammed themselves
Into the arena and It is estimated
that the house drew $10,000.
Another Brother Act Billed.
i
. With the scheduling of a Dart
mouth - Syracuse football same an-
other brother vs. brother battle Is on
the books for next fall. When the
Green and Orange meet at Honaver
on October 2S. Captain Jim Robert'
eon of Dartmouth will play against
Captain Harry Robertson of Syracuse.
Unlike Tim and Mike Callahan, cap
tains and centers of Yale and Prince
ton. respectively, the- Robertsons will
not be in direct contact, for Jim is
a halfback and Harry plays at center.

PASADENA, Cal., Jan. 1. East tri
umphed over west. Harvard over Ore
gon, here this afternoon by a single
point. Final score. Harvard 7, Ore
gon 6.
In the last quarter Oregon, having
fought Harvard down to within her
20-yard line, missed -winning by a
few inches when little Manerud's try
for a field goal floated outside the
line of the goal post by so slight a
margin that Oregon's exultant rooters
could hardly believe their eyes when
the score board showed the same old
7-8 that had decorated it since Har
vard scored In the second.
If there is any great difference be
tween eastern and western football
It failed to enow. Both teams varied
football strategy with straight line
bucking, and if anything Oregorvhad
a littla the better of it In both de
partments of the game. Each team
had an Iron defense when driven
close to the home goal line.
To thf surprise of all the specta
tors, Oregon's light line stood square
ly up to the Harvard giants and
never showed a sign of weakening.
In fact. Harvard's line was more
leaky than the lemon -yellow. The
speed of Oregon's attack was supe
rior. Toward the end of the game
Harvard stalled for time again and
again, while the eager Oregonians
flashed Into action so suddenly that
they seemed hardly to wait for their
signals.
Oregon Was badly handicapped
when her great halfback, Bill Steers,
was roughed out of the game in the
middle of the second period, when he
had Just broken through the whole
Harvard defense and run 30 yards
down the field on an Oregon series
play before he was forced out of
bounds and savagely jumped on by
three Harvard tackles. Steers was
unconscious for the time limit and
dragged from the Held, and was still
groggy when he was sent in again in
the last period on the desperate chance
that he might be able to boot one of
his long field goals.
Probably no other great football
championship game was ever played
in such picturesque surroundings.
The wooden stand, with its 35.000
spectators gathered from all over
the country, was surrounded by Or
ange orchards yellow with ripe fruit.
On the winding boulevards for half
a mile around the stadium were
parked some 10,000 automobiles.
Above the edge of the big wooden
bowl for all the world like the
wooden sta"nd at Prlhceton before' the
new arena was built the range of
the Sierra Madre loomed dark purple
against a gray sky. a dark purple
bank crested with the glistening
white of snow-covered peaks. The
day was cool and the sun clouded
fine football weather for teams that
had just left the snows of north and
east.
IULEV WINS PAPER. CHASE
Claude B. Starr Finishes Second in

Fat Riley, on Henrietta, won the
annual paper chase of the Portland
Hunt club yesterday in a close and
exciting finish. Claude B. Starr, rid
ing Spider, finished second and Fred
A. Martin, on Sammy Colt, came in
third.
The course was run over a four
mile winding trail and proved inter
esting to the spectators as well as the
riders, as it was visible to the spec
tators most of the way. A large gal
lery was on hand to witness the
chase, which was free from accidents.
W. U. Sanderson, president of the

University Game Opening
Feature of New Year.
BIG GAMES SEEN IN 1919
Fans Get Opportunities to Yell to
Heart's Delight When Some
Big Sport Events Are Held.
BY RICHARD R. SHARP.
The year 1919 was an auspicious
one for Oregon in the annals tt
sportdom. After simmering away
to practically nothing during the pe
riod of the war, athletics came back
with a whoop and a bang In greater
magnitude than ever.
Matty new records were set up in
various branches of sports, new
events were Introduced and every
thing went over big.
Playing In and as a member of the
Pacific coast conference, the Univer
sity of Oregon won two out of three
of its games, defeating the University
of Washington and Oregon Agricul
tural college and going down to a
close t-to-0 defeat at the hands of
Washington State college, This sea
son's pregon eleven, although perhaps
not the great machine of 1916, Is one
well worthy of representing any eeo
tion of the country.
The lemon-yellow squad played
three games out of the Pacific coast
conference, winning all of them. Ore
gon defeated the Multnomah Amateur
Athletic club twice and the Univer
sity of Idaho a most impressive
record.
Oregon Agricultural college, under
the guidance of Coach Bill Hargiss,
after getting off to a poor start in
1919, registered one of the big sur
prises of the football year by wallop
ing Washington State college 6 to 0.
The Aggies had previously gone down
to defeat before Stanford and Oregon.
Willamette university won the non
conference title of the northwest and
put an excelle- team in the field.
Other Oregon colleges were repre
sented by football teams, but none
broke Into the limelight, excepting
perhaps Reed, which took part In
Intercollegiate games for the first
time, as the 'result of a change in the
athletic policy at that institution.
Reed went at It easy for the first
year.
Many big football gamea were
dished tip to the Oregon fans the
past year. The Stanford-O. A. C. game
at Corvallis drew a record crowd;
the Oregon-O. A. C. game at Eugene
proved a banner attraction, and Port
land football followers had the en
joyment of witnessing a number of
"regular'' games, after a lapse of sev
eral seasons. Some of the football
attractions on Multnomah field were
Oregon vs. Washington State, O. A. C.
vs. Washington State and Multnomah
club vs. Oregon.
The revival of lnterscholastlc foot
ball was another big thing of 1919.
Practically every high school in the
state this season boasted of a foot
ball team worthy of note. An effort
was made to settle the state cham
pionship when Jefferson High school,
the Portland interscholastic league
champions, offered to play the best
team in the state. There were so
many aggregations that boasted of
formidable teams In various sections
of Oregon and which had gone
through the season undefeated that
plans for the staging of a post-season
game had to be. called off.
La Grande, Grants Pass, Eugene,
Corvallis, McMihnville, Hood River,
The Dalles. Albany, Crook county
high and others were represented by
crack teams and all would have
played Jefferson. So many worthy
challenges rolled in after the offer
to play off for the championship that
nothing could be accomplished. It is
hoped that some plan may be worked
out in the future to settle such events.
Not only Interscholastic football.
but every branch of interscholastic
sports proved highly successful In
1919. Track, baseball and basketball
came In for their Inning after a pa
tient wait. The Lincoln High school
basketball team won the state efown
at the championships tournament in
Eugene last March.
King baseball Is still the grand na
tional pastime. The Beavers did not
burn up the league. It la true, but
still most of the time they were put
ting up a pretty good brand of ball
nd, although they finished in the
second division, were raveling at a
fast clip the final half of the season.
Judge McCredle has promised a win
ning ball club for 1920 and is busy
lining up some Stellar talent for the
Beavef crew.
Tennis, the prince of outdobr games
and said to require the most skill of
arty spOrt to become really good t
the game, was not in the background
In 1919. The season started early and
lasted well into the year. The climax
In Oregon was reached at the state
chamDionship tournament on the
courts of the Laurelhurst club, Catlin
Wolfard winning the men's singles
championship of the State, defeating
Phil Neer, the sensational youngster,
in the finals.
Neer later In the season attended
the northwest championships in Seat
tle and won the title in that tourna
ment. Neer played a wonderful game
all season and played In every tourna
ment of consequence and as the
junior as well as the senior' cham
pion represented the northwest In
the national - junior championships
at Forest Hills, New York. Neer did
not win, but recorded an impressive
showing. He teamed with Vincent
Richards In the junior doubles. Ow
ing to a slight mixup Neer did not get
the opportunity to piay in the na
tlonal singles championship at Forest
Hills. On hie way east Neer stopped
off at several of the largest cities In
the country and polished off the lead
Ing Junior lights of those centers.
His steady game proved too much of
a strain for him, which in a large
way Kept mm irom going farther in
the junior national championships.
Tennis tournaments galore were on
tne tapis mrougnout trie summer
months here. The Irving-ton club, the
Lauremurst ciuo, tne Multnomah
Amateur Athletic club and other in
stitutions, as well as the city play
grounds, held numerous events. The
Competition in every Instance was ex
ceptionally keen. The northwest
Junior and boys championships which
were decided on the Laurelhurst club
courts was one of the greatest tennis
treats ever staged here. The youthftll
stars who predominated throughout
the northwest in 11 were all on
hand, and some matches that will live
long in tne memories of tennis fol
lowers were played off.
F. E. Harrigan inaugurated a boys'
championship tournament at the
Washington park playground, and it
will be an annual event hereafter.
Walter A. Goes, sectional representa
tive of the united States Lawn Tennis
association, ha co-operated with the
officials in charge of every event to
make them a success and has done
i soot individually for Vesnis la tie
Pacific northwest than any other)
man. I
Although Portland was the scene of ,
only two national swimming events.
Its swimmers carried the colors far
to the front. The Multnomah Amateur
Athletic club staged in 1919 the na
tional one-mile marathon and the
junior national diving championship.
The national mile was held in the
Willamette river, while the Junior
diving was contested in the Wlnged-M
tank. A classy array of talent en
tered in the mile swim, which was
won by William "Buddy" Wallen of
the Illinois Athletic club. "Stubby"
Kruger placed second. "Happy" Kuehn
of the Multnomah Amateur Athletic
club won the national junior diving
title from a representative field of
entrants, all of the leading Pacific
coast clubs having a participant un
der its colors.
Miss Thelma Payne of Multnomah
Club, who won the women's national
indoor fancy diving title in 1918, suc
cessfully defended her laurels in the
1919 national meet held In Detroit Un
der the banner of the Detroit Athletic
club. Miss Payne cleaned up in all
of the women's fancy diving meets in
the northwest in 1918 and continued
her triumphs in the year just now
rounded.
Mrs. Constance Dressier (Constance
Meyers), former national diving cham
pion, and Miss Helen Hicks, both of
Multnomah club, represented the
winged M Institution at the Pacific
coast championship in San Francisco
last July and placed high. It later
developed that through an error Mrs.
Dressier was deprived of first place.
In the swimming line, Jack Cody's
proteges more than held their own.
The P. N. A. Indoor championships
were held at Multnomah club and the
outdoor events by the Victoria Island
Athletic association in Victoria, B. C
In both affairs winged M swimmers
carried off their share of the honors. I
O. J. Hosford, chairman of the
swimming committee at Multnomah !
club and a star distance man, was
sent east to compete in the national
marathon at Riverton, N. J., and
placed in the first five, a real achieve
ment, as the greatest swimmers in the
country wefe entered, including Nor
man Ross, who failed to finish.
Journeying across the seas to the
inter-allied games, two Portland boys
will be found in the front. Norman
Ross, the world's greatest swimmer,
was the individual star of the games,
while "Bui" Doukas and another
Portland member of the A. E. F.
helped swing an American victory
and played on the championship Am
erican water polo team along with
Ross and others.
Track never saw a greater year as
far as Oregon as a whole was con
cerned. Under the leadership of
George Phllbrook the athletes of the
Multnomah Amateur Athletic club
took all first honors In northwest
meets and a team of six journeyed to
the national A. A. U. championships
in Philadelphia. Johnny Murphy
breaking the junior high Jump record
with a marvelous leap of over 6 feet
3 inches. The winged M mainstays
of the season, who converted most of
the points, were Ralph Spearow,
Mose Payne, Wallace Kadderly, Ar
thur Tuck, Tom Loutitt, Wlllard
Wells, Sam Bellah, Johnny Murphy,
Millard Webster and Ralph Coleman.
Ralph Spearow, the vaulting par
son, had his greatest year in the pole
vault and broke the northwest and
Pacific coast records. Arthur Tuck
of Redmond, Or., was the most sen
sational person on the cinder path to
burst forth in 1919. Seldom has a
youngster created such a furore as
did Tuck when, unheralded and un
known, he went down to the state
interscholastic meet at Eugene and
won nearly everything he entered and
placed, In all of them. He took on the
shot put. the discus, the javelin, the
100 and 220, high jump and hurdles.
The Javelin is his best event, and be
shattered all high school marks with
the spear. Tuck will attend the Uni
versity of Oregon and his' college
career on the track will be watched
with interest. Bill Hayward will
without a doubt limit Tuck to two or
perhaps three events, the javelin and
449 being the favored ones.
The year 1919 witnessed the advent
of the ten-round boxing game in Ore
gon under the supervision of munici
pal boxing commissions. - The net
profits of all of the shows are turned
over to certain worthy funds or
charities.
With the sanctioning of 10-round
bouts, boxing has opened in La
Grande. Marshfield, Medford. Grants
Pass, Klamath Falls, Bend, Pendleton
and other cities.
Golf attracted hundreds of devotees
and a number of Interesting tourna
ments passed the horizon in 1919. The
state championships were held by the
Waverley Country club, Rudy Wil
helm again winning the men's title.
Inter-club matches proved popular
and the annual Gearhart tournament
was one of the features of the sea
son. Dr. O. F. Willing taking top
honors.
The first clfy championship at the
municipal- links was held last year
with over 100 golfers starting In the
race. Johnny Rebstock surprised the
golfing fraternity by defeating Dr.
O. F. Willing In the finals.
Billiards, trapshootlng, horse rac
ing, bowling and other sports en
joyed a great season in 1919. The in
auguration of the annual three cush
ion handicap billiard tournament at
the Rialto by Manager Harry D. Green
has drawn a number of billiard stars
Into action and furnished many ex
cellent games. -
James W. Seavey won the 1919 state
trapshootlng championship and was
placed among the ten high amateurs
In the -United States for the year.
The M. L. Kline bowling team cap
tained by J. W. Blaney won the
northwest-international bowling
championship In Vancouver, B. C, last
March and Bet a new five-man team
record. In May the Kline pin-smashers
attended the Pacific coast cham
pionships in San Francisco and won
third plaoe. -
