BY RICHARD R. SHARP.
Sammy Pelsinger, slashing Pan
Francieco welterweight, and brother
of the well-known featherweight,
Harry Pelsinger, wili meet Frankle
"Donnybrook" Denny of Oakland In
one of the six-round special events on
the Portland boxing commission card
st the Heilig theater next Wednesday
night. Matchmaker Jack Grant closed
with "Moose" Tausigg for Sammy's
appearance here yesterday.
Harry Pelsinger Is well known to
the local fistic fane and Is a clever
boxer pure and simple and one of the
best on the Pacific coast. His younger
brother Sammy is said to be the com
bination of a rugged, boring-in fight
er and fairly good boxer as well. This
combination makes a man hard to
beat If he is any good at all.
Matchmaker Jack Grant is of the
opinion that Denny and Pelsinger will
put on one of the best six-round mills
between welterweights ever staged
here. Grant saw the two meet In a
four-round clash in Oakland, when he
was in the south several months ago,
and says that It was one of the best
bouts he ever witnessed.
Jack has seen a lot of quarrels in
Ills day and his statement should
carry a lot of weight. It will be the
tfebut in Portland of both Denny and
Pelsinger. Both men have met the
best at their weight in California and
u-e eager to make an impression here.
With the signing of the Denny-Pel-slnger
go the Wednesday night card
is now complete and looms as one of
the best of the season.
Johnny McCarthy, the fighting
r;arp, arrived here yesterday from
Tacoma none the worse for his six
round encounter Thursday night
gainst Morris Lux. Lux outpointed
McCarthy, but Johnny is not worried.
McCarthy knocked Lux out here and
is ready for Morris again when he
jcets througli with Alex Trambitas,
whom he will face In the ten-round
main event next week.
The remainder of the card slated
for the Heilig is "Puggy" Morton of
Los Angeles vs. Frankie Farren of
San Francisco, lightweights, ten
rounds; Jimmy Dundee vs. Weldon
Wing, featherweights, six rounds;
Jimmy Duffy vs. Bud Stevens, feath
erweights, four rounds.
Johnny K 1 1 b a n e, featherweight
champion of the world, is making
anything but an impressive showing
in his eastern invasion. Young Chaney
shaded him in Newark, N. J., recently,
and the other night in Philadelphia it
was said Johnny had the time of his
life beating Al Shubert of New Bed
ford, in a six-round bout. There
were some who saw that fight who
aid that Shubert beat him. The latter
only weighs about 124 pounds and is a
mediocre performer.
The fans are becoming convinced
bat Johnny is rapidly pointing to the
loss. of his title in the present cam
paign. One thing la certain, however,
and that is if Kilbane does lose his
crown, the one to win it is not likely
to hang onto it long unless he pulls a
"Dempsey" on the public. There are
too many good featherweights to let
any one hang on to his laurels unless
lie should pick his opponents.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 9. (Special.)
Goat Lavin's attempted come-back
at the Dreamland rink fights tonight,
the first appearance he has made since
his knockout at the hands of Ed War
ner, was anything but a success. Jack
Jleeven, Alex Greggains" champion,
who likely gave away 10 pounds,-took
the decision and with no great dif
ficulty. Lavin seemed afraid of
Jieeves and clinched repeatedly. He
Jidn't come out of his shell until the
fourth round and then it was too late.
Jieeves had a shade in the first and
& big advantage, in the second and
third.
J$e Miller and Joe Azevedo put up
a good four-round draw.

TIGERS TO RETAIX BUSH
3lldget Siiorstop Will Begin 12th
Year With Detroit.
DETROIT, Jan. 9. Donie Bush, the
midget shortstop, will play with the
Timers again next year his 12th for
Detroit.
The little fellow came in from In
dianapolis and talked over his con
tract yesterday afternoon with Presi
dent Navin. It was not signed, but
will.be within the next few days.
Donie and Navin agreed to terms in
xhort order. But Bush asked that
the contract be sent to his home. He
naid he would sign It there and mall
it back at the earliest moment.
Last year about this- time. Bush
and Navin were having words about
alary. It developed into a holdout,
but Bush finally joined the club and
played as of yore. He got a late
atart, however, and this seemed to
slow him up.
But when the pitchers and catchers
Ito down to Macon about February 22,
Bush says he'll go, too. He wants
to get into condition early, believ
ing it will do him good. Navin thought
it a good idea, and that's the way
things stand.

Chairman of Commission.
CHICAGO, Jan. 9. Selection of a
chairman of the national baseball
commission to succeed August Herr
mann, who tendered his resignation
yesterday, probably will be made at
the Joint session of the two major
leagues to be held here February 11,
John A. Heydler. president f the na
tional league, announced tonight.
The committees of the two major
leagues appointed a year ago to select
a man for-the commission chairman
ship, are expected to present their
recommendation at the Joint session.
he said.
"The man chosen to head the com
mission should be powerful, fearless
and independent enough to reach out
after any player, club owner or offi
cial in baseball who either by action,
association or speech brings the game
under suspicion or disrepute," Mr.
Heydler said. "Herrmann was a good
man for baseball, but the time has
arrived for a change. The game de
manded it. The men interested in
the sport realized it and are determ
ined to make progress. Baseball must
be kept clean and the man who heads
the commission will have the respon
sibility of seeing that it is done.
Gambling must and will be stopped."
President Heydler and Ban John
son, president of the American league,
will depart tomorrow for Louisiana
to draw up the tentative 1920 sched
ules. Four baseball meetings will be held
here during the second week of Feb
ruary, Heydler says. The National
and American leagues will hold sepa
rate meetings February 10, and the
following day will go into Joint ses
sion. Later the club owners of the two
leagues will meet with a commission
from the minor leagues to discuss
the advisability of framing a new na
tional agreement.

With the smoke clearing after the
sensational battle of' 1920 at the an
nual meeting of the Pacific coast
league magnates and Judge Wallace
Wilbeforce McCredie, as the southern
scribes would have it, dashing on his
way home, the next thing of Impor
tance is the Beavers' training place
this year.
Before leaving for San Francisco
last Saturday night Judge McCredie
said that he probably would arrange
for a 1920 training site for the Port
land club. Up to date nothing has
leaked over the wires as to where the
Mackmen might condition themselves.
The Judge haa several towns in view
in California, but had not reached
any decision toward any one of them
before leaving.
As soon as he arrives, which should
be by tomorrow, he will probably
make an announcement as to what he
has in mind.
One of the most likely sites is Santa
Maria, Cal., and if dope from the south
is true, providing that city furnishes
a new baseball park, Walter Mc
Credie will take his Beavers there.
It is said that Judge McCredie wrote
a letter to the Santa Maria chamber
of commerce to the effect that their
city would be considered if they
would see to the park proposition.
The chamber of commerce officials
are at present outlining plans for a
new park at a cst of $4000. Mc
Credie has been assured of all kinds
of support in Santa Maria and if
plans mature the team will gather
there early in March or the last of
February.
.Boyes Springs is another place upon
which Judge McCredie has his eye.
McCredie and Rudy Litchenburg,
manager of the Sonoma country re
sort, talked the matter over recently
and they may come to some agree
ment. Boyes Springs has no inclosed
park, but there is an excellent dia
mond there. If Portland trains at
Boyes Springs Saturday and Sunday
games would be arranged at Peta
luma. Santa Rosa. Napa and Vallejo.
Salt Lake pitchers are due to go to
Boyes Springs ten days befbre the
opening of the regular training sea
son and get themselves into condition.
The disposal of Ken Punner, Port
land pitcher, to Sacramento was fore
casted several days ago and it has
been a known fact for several months
that he would not be with the Bea
vers next season. Penner is not a
half bad pitcher and should make an
excellent moundman for Bill Rodgers.
The telegraph wires have not been
cluttered up with news about ball
players being signed by Walter or
Judge McCredie, but the fans can look
for some early action, as it is getting
mighty near the first call for train
ing camp. At that, it is not the num
ber of players signed, but the class.
A few good ones will suffice. Last
year at this time everything bore a
roseate hue, but those in whom the
most confidence was displayed fliv
vered before the training camp was
vacated. This year there is not so
much advance notice, but the fans
are hoping for the best. They sup
ported the team last year and are
looking for a return on the invest
ment. The palm goes to Clyde Wares. Se
attle boss, when it comes to signing
'em up. Hardly a day lumbers
through that Peppy Clyde does not
sign a couple of ball tossers. He will
have enough left over after he gets
through picking a club to support an
entire bush league. When last heard
of Wares had affixed the signatures
ot Frank Tobin, .a catcher, and Law
rence Harrigan, an infielder, to con
tracts in Sacramento. They are both
bushers.

It would not be surprising to see
the Angels do the bulk of their
training at the Vernon park. As yet
they have failed to make satisfactory

SAN DIEGO. Cal., Jan. 9. All that
is needed to have a Dempsey-Carpen-tler
fight at Tijuana, Mexico, for the
world's heavyweight championship is
Carpentler's signature to articles of
agreement.
This was the development of a con
ference here late today between Jack
Kearns, manager of Dempsey, "And
James Coffroth. president of the Low
er California Jockey club and well
known boxing promoter, whose bid
of $400,000 for the bout is acceptable
to Kearns.
. Reiterating his former statement
that he would prefer that Dempsey
fight in America and in a bout pro
moted by Coffroth, the manager of
Dempsey said:
Coffroth Bid Acceptable.
"The Coffroth bid of J400.000 is ac
ceptable to us and we see no reason
why. the fight could not be held in
Tijuana. If it is true that Cochrane,
the English promoter, has Carpentier
signed for a fight with Dempsey and
that this agreement Is effective until
early in February, why naturally we
must wait until the agreement ex
pires if Carpentier is to appear in a
bout promoted in this country by
Coffroth."
As regards the other bids, two of
which are higher than Coffroth made,
Kearns declared that the question of
a few thousand dollars would not
deter him from accepting the Coff
roth offer. .
Split Hurf Initiated On.
"I want to make It plain that I
consider Coffroth the most capable
promoter for the fight," said Kearns.
"If the fight is held we will insist
that the purse be split 75 and 25 per
cent. We don't want to go abroad
and fight, but if we must we will in
sist on a guarantee."
Coffroth explained that he was
hourly waiting a cable from Charles
Harvey, his foreign representative,
on the question of direct word from
Carpentier.
Kearns and Coffroth will go to Ti
juana tomorrow and view the site for
the proposed arena.
After the conference with Coffroth
Kearns said he had still under con
sideration an offer from William Fox
of $550. Onr) for the Dempsey-Carpen-tier

though that is the place he has in
mind, according to a personal letter
from Coffroth to appear tomorrow in
the San Francisco Chronicle.
After estimating the crowds the

of the contest going to some other
place than Tijuana, "but at the present

a notch u It did tonight, when the

Harvard eleven to a standstill at Pas
adena New Year's day.
Pep. enthusiasm, appreciation, loy
alty to Oregon, her coaches, her team,
expressed the sentiment which was
broadcast in the large -banquet room
of the chamber of commerce apart
ments from the time that the en
tire football squad and its coaches
marched into the room, together with
230 local business men, until the last
glowing tribute had been made by the
toastmaster of the evening, had died
away and the squad departed for
home.
Coarhers Are Cheered.
At a time when it is possible that
Bill Hayward, Oregon veteran trainer,
is considering offers from other In
stitutions the big rally had a double
significance. Shortly after the ban
quet had started over 500 university
men accompanied by the university
band marched into the outer portals
of the banquet room and loudly de
manded Coach Huntington and
Trainer Hayward. When they re
sponded the university men cheered
them wildly for many minutes.
"I haven't gone yet," Bill told the
enthusiastic mass. "I still have two
weeks in which to decide and 1 Intend
to take my time. This demonstration
has done a big bit." Hayward made
a glowing tribute to Coach Hunting
ton and prophesied that within a few
years he would be the greatest coach
In the country.
Coach Huntington spoke to the
crowd In a voice which trembled with
emotion. 'I am going to stay as long
as I can." he said. "I don't think BUI
will leave Oregon. It would be the
biggest blow the university ever
had."

A resolution expressing apprecia
tion for the work of Hayward and
Huntington have done for the univer
sity and a pledge to support them in
every way forevermore was read In
behalf of the entire student body.
Later the men formed a great ser
pentine and marched through the
banquet hall, while Oregon songs were
sung with gusto by all.
Governor Ben W. Olcott was pres
ent at the banquet and carved an im
mense Harvard cake, which was
adorned by miniature football players
representing Harvard men. A slice of
the cake was presented each Oregon
player. "You boys have done a. won
derful thing for the state, and It will
be remembered for many years," said

"If I am ever fortunate enough to
be a grandfather and my grandfather
and my grandchildren clamber about
on my knee and ask what I did dur
ing my administration, I will tell
them that the Oregon boys humbled
the wonderful team during my term
of office." Speaking of Bill Hayward.
Governor Olcott said that he had
heard rumors that Oregon's grand old
man was going to leave the univer

to the university," he said, "and if
he has the nerve to lfavo Oregon I
am going out and take his name off
the new athletic field."
