14 THE MORXIXG OREGONIAX, THURSDAY, JANUARY 22, 1920 ABSENCE OF DEALS DOLLS BALL YEAR Winter Sets Record for All 1 Round Sleepiness. TALENT HARD TO FIND Seattle Makes Best Showing Scramble for New Material. McCredies Stir Bushes. in Baseball is now trying- to shake Itself loose from the dullest winter in the history of the coast league. Some claim the encroachment made by football, which is attaining In creasing Importance. Is responsible for the feeble and impotent sputters of the stove league, which usually burns with the fury of a well-fed furnace. This may have Its effect, but does not wholly explain the mothball atmosphere In baseball circles. As a matter of fact, there never l.as been such a paucity of real baseball news as recently. This Is because the. minor league owners, for the most part, have been backward in putting through measures to rebuild their clubs for 1920. There was no absence of desire on the part of many to do this no wilful slacking or tightening of purse strings. Cutting right down to bed rock of the situation, it will be found that deals have not flour ished solely because owners have not known where to turn for talent. Baseball, like everything else, has suffered from underproduction. Charley Graham and Bill Esgick peregrinated eastward, but found it practically impossible to do any spot business with the majors and had to content themselves with promises, which in some cases are now begin ning to bear fruit. Seattle has perhaps made the most progress, which is a good thing, as the Siwashes were in need of it. They simply had to go ahead, as they couldn't go back any further. Wares was. more successful dealing with the majors than most of his rivals, putting through a "one-for-three" trade which promises to help bis club. Judge and Walter McCredie have started to boom along a little and out of the flock of bushers and with the help of Detroit and minor leagues that they have closed deals with should land a few good ball tossers. They are still hot on the trail, how ever, for any man with the goods, and several big deals are yet to be swung. Judge W. W. McCredie received an offer from Ontario, Cal., yesterday for the Beavers to train in that city. Ontario is said to be a live little place about 28 miles east of Los Angeles. The fans are anxious to have the Portland club train there this season and offer an excellent proposition. They are receiving a good deal of consideration by the McCredies. The signed contract of a shortstop named Konech. hanging his hat at Flint, Mich., was received by Boss Walter McCredie at baseball head quarters yesterday. The same mail carried a letter from Luzerne Blue asking for a salary said to top any thing ever paid a ballplayer on the club. "Chick" Gandil will go Into the au tomobile accessory business. He says he is through playing baseball in the east. Charles Comiskey of the White Sox says Gandil is one of the most valuable men on his club. It Is believed the Chicago owner will try to get him back next spring. . While he has no players to epart at this time, Cravath has assured Kil lefer that he will be able to get some good men from other clubs to turn over for Bill Pertica. So that he can show the same speed In getting players that he does in going after a fly ball, Killefer has informed the Boston Americans, Bos ton Braves and St. Louis Cardinals just what men he needs. The clubs are after "Curly" Brown and Bill Per tica. With the two pitchers going to the big show, Killefer expects to get enough players from them to plug up his weak spots. Cash also will be used in lining up other men. Joe Wood contends that the lack of one more good pitcher cost the Cleveland club the pennant last year and he believes that the addition of Ray Caldwell fills the void. Cald well joined the Indians too late to turn the tide last season, according to Wood. Frank Herbst, pitcher on the Water bury team of the Eastern league last season, has been sold to the Ath letics. Pitcher Ray Fisher has signed with the Cincinnati club. In spite of hold out stories, the champions are falling Into line earlier than usual. It Is said that Indianapolis will receive four players from the Reds as part payment for Shortstop Sam Crane. The Reds paid $5000 In cash and must give up a like sum if play ers cannot be delivered. August Herrmann has turned the atrical promoter and will leave Chi cago for Toronto, where one of his shows is playing. Road Secretary Hiram Mason of the Cardinals has been promoted. He is one of the new directors of the club. BOXING HITS ASTORIANS JOE BONDS BOOKED FOR JAN UARY 30 CARD. New Commission In Salmon City Has backing of Fans Anxious for Good Exhibitions. The boxing game will open with a bang In Astoria next Friday night, January 30, with Joe Bonds, former contender for wohld's heavyweight honors, meeting big Oscar Koch In the main event of ten rounds. Three classy preliminaries featur ing boxers known here will round out the opening card. A municipal box ing commission was recently ap pointed in Astoria and all of the real fans are behind It in the effort to see some good cards this winter and spring. The leading citizens of the salmon city are backing the game and are for clean sport. Koch Is well known In Astoria, having made his home there after re ceiving his honorable discharge from the army. Koch fought a number of bouts while at Camp Lewis and has participated in about ten fights in Seattle and Tacoma. He knocked out an opponent In Tacoma last week in three rounds. Joe Bonds, who is well known here, is back in Tacoma after two years In the navy and over three years of battling In the fistic centers In the east. Bonds has fought Jack Demp sey three times and has also tangled with such men as Fred Fulton. Al Reich. Frank Moran, Carl Morris. Joe Coffey and a host of other heavy weight lights. Jack Kearns, the present manager of Dempsey, had bonds under his wing In Denver four years ago, and figured Joe the next champion. Jack Curley and Kearns got together and brought Bonds to New York. He got along fine until he met Carl Morris at Madison Square Garden and re ceived a beating. An eight-round bout, a six-round bout and a four-round curtain raiser will round out the card in Astoria. Ad Macke and Bud Stengle, two promising-looking 133-pounders, will tangle over the six-round route. Mike De Pinto will tangle with some good boy in the four-round mill. The eight-round bout will be announced today. AUTO AWAITS HAYWAHD OREGON ALOCfl EXPRESS AP PRECIATION TO TRAINER.. Veteran of 10 Years' Service With University Athletes Also Gets Speed From Cars.

The telegram received by Hayward from Homer D. Angell, president of the alumni association, reads as fol lows: "Oregon alumni desire to express their appreciation for your years of service to the university. We know with what success you have labored. and were made proud of the climax of your endeavors on New Year's day at Pasadena. We honor the men who did it, and you, Bill, and Shy Hunt ington, who made it possible. Ore gon traditions and Oregon spirit have been held true. You have maintained with dignity and success the tradi tions and spirit of old Oregon which lies near the heart of all of us. "We still need your help to main tain Oregon's athletic supremacy. As a token of gratitude for your 16 years of loyal, modest, untiring services, and your delro and decision to re main with Oregon, we present you with an automobile of your selection, which awaits you here. That you may be as successful in getting speed out of it as you have out of the team is our wish. Come and get It." If Bill keeps up his present pace, he will soon be an automobile mag nate. Bill is now driving a roadster, the pride and envy of all Eugene. Whether he will use his new boat as a Sunday special and keep his road ster as an every day car is not known, but Bill Is as much an adept at getting speed out of a car as he Is with a track man. Just before the roadster broke Into history. Bill had his famous "Blue bird," a bug which made track history, and was rivaled enly by the Eugene fire department trucks. The siren on the blue demon was of the "mile or more" variety, and anyone could eas ily tell when Bill was dashing be tween Eugene and the campus.

MARTIN PILOT RAPS GES AS Bronson Denies Effort Sway Legion Opinion. to SOLDIERS ACT "ON OWN' Manager of A. E. P. Champ De clares He Never Attempted to Boost Bob Among Service Men. JOPLIN, Mo., Jan. 21. James Bron son, manager of Bob Martin, heavy weight boxing champion of the Amer ican expeditionary forces, said here tonight that he had no information other than press reports of the tele gram Jack Kearns, manager of Jack Dempsey, is said to have sent him, at tacking his alleged methods in "boost ing" Martin in opposition to Dempsey. "Kearns is running in circles," Bron son said. "The letter to which he re fers was only a copy of the resolu tions adopted by the Pueblo, Colo., post of the American Legion and an announcement, of a bona fide offer I have received from promoters there to stage a fight between Martin and Carpentier. "Kearns' telegram, as reported In press dispatches, evidently takes more exception to the resolutions than to any word or act of either mine or Martin's. These resolutions were passed without my knowledge or ad vice. The first word I received from there was the offer of a $75,000 purse ior juarun s services in a bout with Carpentier and a copy of the resolu tions was attached. "As a matter of fact. Martin was matched with Carpentier before Demp sey won the championship. Martin, the American representative at the inter-allled games, through the sys tem of drawing used, was to have met the French soldier champion, who was representing France at the soldier Olympics. A few days before the bout was scheduled to take place It was announced that Carpentier had in jured his hand, so Journet, a stable mate of Carpentier, was substituted and with Descamps In his corner, Martin knocked him out in three rounds. "As for Kearns' charges that I have attempted to use my influence with the American Legion, 6r have tried to trade on my own achievements In France, they are absolutely without foundation. I have never attempted to 'boost' Martin's stock with former soldiers in any way. They know him and his record and have followed his every fight and the actions taken by dozens of legion posts came to us as big a surprise as it did to Kearns." ROPER HANDS MARTIN DEFI Chicago Heavy Wants to Box Bob for Benefit of Charity. BY RICHARD R. SHARP. "If Bob Martin, so-called A. E. F. heavyweight champion, cares to meet few real boxers Instead of tackling set-ups and "divers," I will meet him for nothing but a railroad ticket, my nd of the purse from such a battle to be turned over to any charity that might be designated by the sporting editors or the newspapers of the city in wnicn l would right him. This straight - from - the - shoulder tatement was made yesterday by Captain Bob Roper, Chicago heavy weight, who is here to meet Boy Mc- Cormick, light heavyweight champion f England, in the main event of next Wednesday night's card at the Mil- waukle arena. "The best and only recommendation as a fighter that I can see In Martin the fact that he served with the overseas forces, for which I accord him all the credit and honor In the world; but as a boxer he Is working on the sympathies of the public through his manager. Jimmy Bron son, continued Roper. 'Bronson asked me as a special favor months ago to lay off of Martin and not try to get a fight with him. Matt Hinkel. the famous millionaire promoter of Cleveland, who has staged such bouts as the Kllbane-Chaney world's championship match, the Ted Lewis - Jack Brltton welterweight championship go, and the Carl Morris- Fred Fulton bout, offered a good purse for a match between myself and Martin, not only once, but at east three times, and each time DID CA X I ! r 1 NO.1.1 4 S NO IT'S A rT iTiS A BLAMCti HAKP JCOS .t VTrnTTs TYo?R ( RECUUAT 9P0ND J THESE PAYS O F7V0 AnV TtVWd j j V OlftTHlWr?

Bronson turned down the offer, pre ferring to make the one-nlgbt stands with his champion. "All of us could not get overseas and I think I did my bit by enlisting In the regular army in 1912 and serv ing six years and a half. I enlisted as a private and worked my way up to a captaincy. I see where Martin fought Jack Moran. who should not be confused with the real fighter Frank Moran, and knocked him out in three rounds In Des Moines. To my knowl edge this makes about the fourth time that he has fought Moran and knocked him out. Moran fought him twice under his own name and twice under a picked-up one." Roper is sincere in his desire to meet Martin In a bout any place In j the country over any distance, his I entire end of the purse outside of actual training expenses and railroad fare to go to charity. This ought to make Martin sit up and take notice. Roper is a member of the American Legion, an Elk, and a fighter. He did not indulge in any boxing with his sparring partner, Marty Cutler, at Garlock's gymnasium yesterday, but contented himself with about 12 rounds of shadow boxing, bag punch ing and rope skipping. He looks to have a little surplus weight on, but a few days of hard work should take that off. It was reported yesterday that Roper did not tip the beam over 190 pounds stripped. McCormick worked out 14 rounds at the London Athletic club gymna sium yesterday afternoon, boxing six rounds and doing stunts the rest of the time. The rest of the bouts on the Mll waukle card next . Wednesday night will be: Harry Pelsinger vs. Earl Baird. ten rounds; Tommy Hayes vs. Mike Pete, six rounds; Lackey Morrow vs. Niel Zimmerman, six rounds, and Johnny Boscovltch vs. George Fiddler, tour rounds. FULTON OUTCLASSES COWLER Britisher Lasts Under Three Can tos "With. Minnesota Heavy. PHILADELPHIA. Jan. 21. Fred Fulton, Minnesota heavyweight, out classed Tom Cowler of England in their scheduled six-round bout here tonight. The referee stopped the fight In the third round to save Cowler from further punishment. The third round had gone only 1 minute and 20 seconds, and Cowler had been knocked down four times when the fight was stopped. The first hard blow of the bout,, a left hook to the stomach, sent Cowler down for the count of nine In the first round and a few second later he was again floored with a right hook.

The Oregon men will be In much better condition for the coming game than they were for the Whitman contest, as the added week or so of practice has helped In the training of the squad. Oregon's chances for a victory depend largely on the work of Durno the midget forward of the lemon-yellow, as be succeeded in gathering a total of 31 points for Ore gon in the two contests played with the Missionaries last week. If Eddie is in good form, the Seattle team may have to requisition a sizable crew of guards to keep him awfgV from the basket.

The Lincoln high school basketball team, holder of the Oregon state title for 1919, won Its first game of the 1920 season yesterday by trimming the High School of Commerce five 69 to 10 on the Washington high floor. The game was fast and clean, with the passing and shooting of the Rail splitters up to championship standard. Referee Leon Fabre was compelled to call but seven personal fouls during the game. The first half ended with the score 45 to S, with the Lincoln hoopers on the long end of the score. In the sec ond period the Bookkeepers' defense tightened up and held the Cardinal five to 12 field baskets. "Mix" Grider was the only player on the Commerce team who showed to advantage. Grider chalked up all of the Bookkeepers' points, making tour neia naskets and converting two I urday night. The Guard basket fouls. Ted Gurlan, who replaced ' shootera have been taklnr thlnn es Munger at forward for Commerce In the second half, also looked good. Altimus. who was switched from cen ter to guard In the last session, played a good defensive game. For Lincoln the honors were very nearly evenly divided, with the en tire team playing a great passing game. Dave Wright was high-point man with 11 field baskets and one foul shot to his credit. Irve Cole crowded Wright close for high-point honors with 11 baskets from the floor. Lawrence Mische proved to be a tower of strength at guard for the Rail splitters and broke up several rallies started by Commerce. The lineup: Lincoln (88). Commerce 10).

The contest will start at 3 o'clock and will be refereed by Loen Fabre. With three men of last year's team back in suits again this season. Coach Fenstermacher of Washington has a strong five in the field this year. He will probably start Rageno vich and Captain Irvine at forwards, Rolley at center and Edlund and Haynes at guards, against Coach Dewey's Columbia five. Columbia Is at present an unknown quantity, but with any Kind of material at all Coach Dewey can be depended upon to put a first class team into the race for championship honors. The Jefferson high school five, which finished third In the race for the lnterscholastlc basketball title last season has been having nothing but tough luck since the season start ed this year. When the season first opened the turnout at the Blue and Gold institution looked promising. The first serious setback that the team experienced was when Coach Quigly was confined to his home with smallpox. Then Steele, one of the Blue and Gold's best-looking pros pects and a letter man of last year, received an injury to his shoulder In a practice match which has kept him out of the game for some time. Froude, another letter man, was the next player to be put on the hospital list. Froude was severely burned while playing against an out-of-town team when one of the opposing play ers shoved him against a red-hot stove and held him there. .The other mem bers of the team are at present nurs ing sore arms as a result of being vaccinated. Jefferson's first game against Franklin which was sched uled for last Tuesday was postponed. The next contest on the. Blue and Gold slate Is with James John on Monday, and It is thought probable that the Democrats will be In condi tion by that time to play. Dunlway Five Beats Sellwood.

Contract Outside Ring Activities, Explains Heavy's Visit Big Match May Be Settled. NEW YORK. Jan. 21. Private ad vices from France indicate .that Georges Carpentier. European heavy weight champion, will arrive in this country about the middle of February. The French pugilist, challenger for the world's title now held by Jack Dempsey, will come to the United . States to fulfill a contract entirely outside his ring activities, but there Is understood to be no obligation In this contract which would prohibit him from engaging In either exhibi tion or limited round boring con tests. While Carpentier's manager, M. Descamps. refuses to divulge the actual conditions embodied in the contract, promoters appear to take it for granted the French fighter will be permitted to engage In some form of restricted ring activity and there is certain to be a wild scramble for his services. In view of his early arrival, it Is considered unlikely that Carpentier will sign definitely for a championship bout with Dempsey, even if in a position to do so, before he reaches America. Cable negotiations appear to be un certain and unsatisfactory, and it is understood that the French pugilist and his manager prefer to do busi ness directly with the promoters who have already passed the 1500.000 mark in their bids for the fight. f - foints JhrnbavcL 2& Newest oC the new COLLARS Cigar trills cut way down.
