CARD
FROM
PARIS
HERMANN Mil OH JOB
NATIONAL BASEBALL CHAIR
MAN FOLLOWS OLI POLICY".
BY RICHARD R. SHARP.
The boxing: card slated for the Mil
waukie boxing arena under the aus
pices of the Mllwaukie boxing com
mission tomorrow night was called
off last night and postponed indefi
nitely. Matchmaker Frank Kendall received
a telegram from Frankie Malone, the
Oakland featherweight who was to
have faced Earl Baird, the Seattle
rlngster. Jn the main event, last night
that he would be unable to meet Baird,
having previously signed for a match
with a boxer named johnny Weber in
San Francisco for Friday night. Ma
lone explained in the telegram that
he had taken the bout in Milwaukie
on a misunderstanding.
Rather than give the fans a last
mimite substitute main event, after a
conference with Manager George
Moore of the Milwaukie arena and
the Milwaukie boxing commission,
Matchmaker Kendall came to the final
decision to call the show off alto
gether. At first they planned to go
through with the show despite Ma
lone'B eleventh-hour refusal to keep
his agreement, by putting on another
match and making the Sommers-Gil-lum
a ten-round bout. After thinking
the matter over thoroughly, however,
the Milwaukie officials decided to re
fund the fans' money who had already
purchased tickets and hold a show at
a., later date.
The action of Malone in calling off
the match the day before the bout is
only another occurrence of a like
kind from Oakland. Oakland boxers
have proved the most unreliable that
have ever appeared in Portland and
have caused both the old regime pri
vate promoters and the municipal box
ing commission a good deal of grief.
Matchmaker Kendall telegraphed to
Malone to meet Baird here tomorrow
night, January 2. Malone telegraphed
bac kthe same day, January 2, that
the terms were O. K,' and to send
tickets. Yesterday he came through
with the alibi" that it was all a
misunderstanding and that he would
be forced to call his bout off, as he
was billed to mix in San Francisco
Friday night.
- That Malone should have discovered
his mistake so late looks very fishy.
Also the fact that he is not fighting
a main event in San Francisco and
could hardly be getting more than
3150 or so for his end. while in Mil
waukie his bit would be a number of
times that amount. So it looks as
though it was purely a case of cold
blooded "run-out." If it was the first
time that an Oakland boxer had
failed to live up to his agreement by
backing out at the last minute, it
might be a different thing, but it has
happened before, hence the Milwaukie
managers have a first-class grouch
on the Oakland boys.
: Boxers who will appear at the
Portland commission show at the
Hellig theater January 14 are begin
ning to wend their way here. Jimmy
Dundee left Oakland yesterday for the
northwest, along with Frankie Denny
;and Pete Nolan, who is handling both
boxers. Dundee will meet Weldon
Wing on the January 14 card, while
.Frankie Denny will meet the best
man at his weight obtainable. Match
maker Jack Grant was endeavoring
to line up Jack Wagner to meet
Denny yesterday.
' . .. ,
j Johnny McCarthy will tangle six
founds with Morris Lux in the main
event of tonight's fistic card in Ta
coma. Bud Ridley is down to meet
Charley Moy in San Frfancisco tomor
row night.
Jock Malone, the St. Paul welter
weight, who has been on the inactive
list for several months, is training in
Milwaukie for several bouts he has
in prospect. Jack Britton, the welter
weight champ, with whom he was
-matched to meet in Canton, O.. several
.months ago, which was called off
when Malone broke his arm, will
probably be his first engagement.
Malone' s father is a Portland resident.
Al Lippe of Philadelphia has de
cided to cart his entire stable to
Kurope. Al has it doped out that
"Tumbling Tom Cowler, who relin
quished all claim to the pugilistic
Kellerman title when he permitted
Apollo Al Reich to outdive him in
Jersey City the other evening, is the
local English champ, now that Joe
Beckett's bubble has gone plumb bust.
Jjippe and his troupe will .sail on the

IiOSE BASKET COMBATS.
Freshmen Prove Too Much for Sec
ond Year Men by 18-to-16
Score; Seniors AVin Easily.
Freshmen and seniors triumphed
over Juniors and sophomores in two
fast inter-class games at Reed college
yesterday afternoon before a gallery
of wildly rooting fans.
The best game seen for some time
in the Reed gymnasium occurred
when the freshmen took the sopho
mores into camp, 18 to 16. The final
issue was ever in doubt until the last
whistle. Greatly outweighed the
younger players were outclassed in
the first quarter and the score was a
to 0 against them before they rallied.
At the end of the first half, due to
the stellar playing of Rockhey. Ben
nett and Piluso, Y. M. C. A. players.
the score stood 9 to 8 for the fresh
men.
The upper-classmen came back
strong and took the lead in the sec
ond half, but a pretty toss by Rock
hey in the last minute of play lost
them their chance. Workman, Ells
worth, Foley and Robinson showed up
well.
The veteran seniors had no diffi
culty in trimming the sophomores. 33
to 7, although the end of the first
half stood only 6 to 0 In their favor.

YANKEES AFTER SAM RICE
New York Angling for Clever
Washington Flychaser.
NEW YORK. Jan. 7. The New
York Yankees are trying to obtain
Sam Rice from the Washington club.
Rice has developed into one of the
best outfielders in the American
league. Washington got him as a
pitcher from the Petersburg club in
1915. In 1916 he pitched and played
a few games in the outfield. He dis
played much skill and proved a heavy
batter and in 1917 was placed perma
nently in right field.
Last year he was with the United
States navy and played only a small
number of games with the Senators

Comment Points Out.
CINCINNATI. Jan. 7. August
Herrmann, chairman of the national
baseball commission, would not say
tonight whether he would resign at
tomorrow's meeting of the commis
sion. Herrmann has repeatedly an
nounced that he was willing to va
cate the chairmanship In view of tin
opposition in the National league ot
having a man interested in the clubs
in the circuit further serve in the
capacity of chairman. He main
tained, however, that he could not !
quit until a suitable successor had
been appointed.
Unless Hermann does voluntarily
resign, it is believed that a deadlock
will ensue at tomorrow's session.
John Heydler. national league pres
ident, before leaving New York Tues
day night, stated that he in nlerisreri I
not to vote for any man as chairman
who has financial interests in any
club. There is no doubt but that B.
B. Johnson, president of the Ameri
can league, will vote for Herrmann.
Such a situation would mean the re
tention of Herrmann.
3-CCSHION PLAY IS CLOSE
Max Levinson Wins From Peter

was there over four points difference
in the scores of the two players. The
men were tied at 29 when Levinson
went out. Levinson's high run was
three while Peterson went him one
better by making a run of four.
In the other match in class A, P.
Peterson defeated M. Ruven by the
score of 30 to 21. Both players made
high runs of four. C. F. Lathrop won
from Alex Merk by the score of 25
to 21. Both made high runs of three.

SAN DIEGO." Cal.. Jan. 7. James
Coffroth. whose offer of $400,000 for
the Carpentier-Dempsey match has
been accepted by Carpentier's mana
ger, Descamps. according to dispatches
from Paris, received a cablegram to
night from Charles J. Harvey, who
has been commissioned by Coffroth
to'represent him in negotiations with
Carpenticr. The cablegram, sent from
London, asked for further orders.
Coffroth at once sent the following
cablegram to Harvey:
"Yours received. Press here says
Descamps has wired me accepting my
offer of $400,000 for match. Have not
received same. Get instant action on
their plans and cable answer.
"JAMES COFFROTH."
Coffroth was preparing tonight to
have a conference tomorrow with
Jack Kearns. Deinnsey's manager.
He was proceeding tonight on the
theory his offer would be accepted.
Last night, on hearing that Carpen
tier's manager has agreed to have
the two heavyweights meet at Ti
juana, Coffroth said the plan was to
have an arena built to hold seats for
50,000 persons. Today, after going over
the situation more fully, he said he
would have it built to accommodate
at least 80.000 and possibly 100.000.
The climate of this section," he
said, "is such that a great outdoor
arena can be built here better than at
any other place, possibly in all the
world. I believe more than 50,000
persons will come here to see the big
event, and I am going to do what I
can to prepare for seating them."
As soon as any definite word is
received from Harvey, Coffroth says
he will confer with Governor Esteban
Cantu of Lower California regarding
the site of the arena and other ar
rangements for the match.
BUITISIIKK CLAIMS Kl BOUT
Londoner Positive Coffrotli Can't
Stage Tijuana Match.
CHICAGO. Jan. 7. That Jack
Dempsey could not meet Carpentier at
Tijuana. Mexico, July 4, was the state
ment made today by Charles B. Coch
ran, London promoter, who said that
Carpentier was already under con
tract to Cochran.
The Englishman, who promoted the
Carpentier and Beckett fight in Lon
don, and who is now in Chicago, de
clared to.lay that his contract with
the Frencnman was binding, and that
Carpentier and Descamps, his man
ager, would be liable if it were brok
en. He reiterated that he would not
offer Dempsey more than $200,000
plus ten weeks of vaudeville at
$50,000.
Cochran declared he doubted that
Descamps had actually accepted Jim
Coffroth's terms. "What I really think
has happened is that Descamps has
remarked that in the event I did not
sign Dempsey the offer made by Mr.
Coffroth would be accepted," Cochran
said.

offer from Miller or anyone else
would be ignored.
He declared he had acted similarly

The Oregon Agricultural college bas
ketball squad is down to real work
again, after taking it easy for the
last three weeks and a half. Prac
tice had only Just begun when the
cold weather arrived, and the short
age of fuel oil made it necessary to
leave the gymnasium without heat.
No team has been selected yet, and
the squad still is carrying from 20 to
"5 men who show promise of devel
oping enough basketball knowledge
and skill to insure them a place.
Multnomah club will meet the Ag
gies in a practice game on the Cor
vallis floor Saturday night, and Coach
Hurgiss will have an opportunity to
see some of the aspirants show their
ability. Hargiss plans to use a good
many different men during the con
test, in order to get a line on mate
rial that is out, and says this will be
his aim, rather than to go into the
game for a win.

PARKWAY DEFEATS SILENT 5
Score of 52 lo 8 Registcrd in Bas
ketball Contest.
The South Parkway basketball team
started its season with a rush last
night by trimming the Silent Five,
52 to 8 on the B'nai B'rith floor. It
was ten minutes before the Winged
S five could get started, but when the
players got their shooting eye they
dropped the ball through the net at
short intervals.
It Is evidenced by the showing the
team made last night that the Park
way boys are going to have one of
the greatest seasons since they were
organized.
Goldstone at forward was the out
standing star of the game, with Abe
Popick at center but a step behind.

opposing team took the well-known
run-out and Tessler is anxious to
find another team to take its place.

At the meeting of the directons of
the interscholastic basketball league
yesterday afternoon at the Multnomah
Amateur Athletic club, tho schedule
drawn up by the coaches at their last
meeting was adopted by the school
principals, with the exception that
the entire schedule will be postponed
one week, making the first game fall
on Monday. January 19, instead of
January 12, as called for in the ten
tative schedule drawn up by the
coaches.
Hill Military academy and James
John high are the schools selected to
open the season on January 19.
Smallpox Causes Delay.
The reason for delaying the open
ing of the season one week is due
to the fact that Coach Qulgley of
the Jefferson high school is quar
antined with smallpox while members
of the team who have been exposed
to the epidemic are being vaccinated
as a preventive.
This leaves the purple and gold
team completely disorganized and as
they were originally scheduled to
open their season on Tuesday, Janu
ary 13, the extra week allowed by
the revised schedule will give the
Jefferson team a chance to get on
its feet again before the season
starts.
Three Rrferera Selected.
Three referees were selected to of
ficiate during the coming season. Leon
Fabre, Karl A. Harmon and H. A.
Goodc being the selection of the board
of directors. It will be left to the
two teams playing to decide upon
which of the three men they want to
officiate in their game.
It will also be left to the two teams
playing to decide upon a floor. If it
is satisfactory to the two competing
teams the game will be staged upon
one of the high school floors and if
they cannot come to an agreement the
contest will be played on the Y. M.
C. A. floor. Fifteen cents will be the
admission charge to all games.
