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.

OREGON ALOCfl EXPRESS AP
PRECIATION TO TRAINER..
Veteran of 10 Years' Service With
University Athletes Also Gets
Speed From Cars.
TiNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene,
Jan. '21. (Special.) Bill Hayward,
Oregon's veteran trainer, who an
nounced his decision to remain with
the college with which he has been
associated for the past 16 years Mon
day night at the annual football ban
quet given by the football men. will
leave soon for Portland to select the
car which has been presented to him
by the Oregon Alumni association as
a token of appreciation for services
which he has rendered the university.
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.

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

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

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

was again floored with a right hook.

BASKETBALL TEAM WILL MEET
WASHINGTON SQUAD.
Games Are Scheduled for Tvmight
and Tomorrow In Sound City.
Eugene Team Stronger.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eu
gene, Jan. 21. (Special.) The Uni
versity of Oregon basketball squad
left for Seattle this afternoon for
two games with the University of
Washington quintet. Coach "Shy"
Huntington has not announced the
lineup but it is practically certain
that Captain Herm Lind, Eddie Durno,
Nish Chapman, Francis Jacobberger,
Vincent Jacobberger, Mark Latham,
"Skeet" Manerud and Francis lie liar
will be seen In action against the
sound city team.
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 probable lineup for the two
games with the Washington five to
morrow and Friday: Captain Llnd
and Durno, forwards; Latham, cen
ter; Chapman and Jacobberger,
guards.

flicting Democrats.
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).

Washington high and Columbia uni
versity will clash In the third inter
scholastic basketball game of the sea
son this afternoon on the Y. M. C. A.
floor. 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.

CARPENTIER SOON IN 0. S.
FRENCHMAN REPORTED DUE
IN MIDDLE OF FEBRUARY.
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.
