With the Tommy Gibbons-Boy Mc
Cormlck fracas seeking; a resting
place in, the background, the fans are
already beginning to look forward to
the next set of mills Blated for this
neck of the timbers.
The next boxing show will hold
forth at the Milwaukee arena Tuesday
night; February 24. The main event
is yet an unsettled question, but it is
not likely that light-heavyweights
will be used in the topnotch position.
The big bruisers will be given a rest
for a couple of shows, with some of
the lighter, mixers holding the lime
light. Tommy Gibbons will leave for
Edmonton, Canada, where he will
meet Jack Reeves of San Francisco,
February 18 or 17, over the distance
route. While McCormick Is planning
on returning to San Francisco imme
diately, where he will seek a bout
with the winner of the "Chuck" Wig
gins-Jimmy Darcy fight In San Fran
Cisco tonight.
Getting back to the next card In
Milwanukie, Matchmaker Frank Ken
dall is dickering with a half dozen
well-known mittmen at various
weights, but will not close with any
of them until tomorrow at least.
Earl Balrd, the popular little Seat
tle boxer, has been mentioned as an
opponent for' Joey Fox, the English
featherweight champion. Fox has been
fighting all through the east and is at
present in Philadelphia.
Harry Schuman. the Tacoma light
weight,-who is laying claim to the
Pacific coast title. Is another con
tender for main-event honors. Eddie
Shannon of San Francisco and several
others are also In the field.
Kendall has already signed Jimmy
Marshall, , the San Francisco light
weight, to box some good boy in the
semi-windup. A heavyweight match
between- Marty Cutler and Dick
O'Brien may also be found resting
eome . place on the bill below the
main go.
Travie Davis, the Everett welter
weight, and Johnny McCarthy would
be a big attraction.
offense shall be in motion at the mo
merit the ball is put into play except
one man who may be in motion to
ward his own goal line, that is not in
the direction of Flay.
But, as usual with the football
rules, the committee failed to define
motion. A player may have both feet
planted solidly on the ground ' and
move his arms and shoulders er Wag
r.is tongue and that might be con
strued as "motion" toward an oppo
nent's goal line. Many a man has
been penalized for moving his tongue,
of course, but not under the non
motion statute.
Role Is Quoted.
The rule in question follows:
Rule IX. section 5. "At the . mo
ment when the balr is put in play in
a scrimmage no player of the side
which has The ball shall be in motion
except that one man of the side hav
ing the ball may. be In motion either
directly or obliquely toward his own
goal line or line extended. . . ."
The rule makers undoubtedly meant
the prohibition of moving the feet
toward the line of action, but col
lege football coaches are as finicky
as a bevy of prima donnas before a
tig game and this "motion" point has
been discussed by coaches and offi
cials as many times as there are hairs
In John Dee's toupee.
in a measure the Interpretation Is
important to those teams which use
shift plays. The shift loses much of
its force if the players must come to
a dead stop before the ball Is snapped.
There should be a happy medium. The
Jump should be made and the feet
brought to a dead stop, but there
should be no penalization for sway
ing or moving the arms and shoul
ders. The rule has been In the book
for years without interpretation and
It is time the co nmittee got busy.
Changes Were Extensive.
A few years ago the committee used
to tinker with the rules every winter
and when they came out in printed
form one might easily imagine that
they had been thrown together like a
jigsaw puzzle by a flock of psychopaths.
The changes and Interpretations
that appeared later as supplementary I
paste.
.
Igoe, a writer in the New York
World, pens the following:
Reuben, Reuben, I've been thinking
What a swell world this would be.
If reformers were transplanted
Far beyor.d the Northern sea.
Without doubt It's going to be a
dark day, 25 years from now, when
there will be nothing left to reform
or suppress.
. Some things ought to be suppressed
and among them the boxing gink who
sits in a corner with a large pan
almost under his ct ln and then expec
torates on the floor in front of the
press box.

, in Basket Line. .
Undoubtedly, Percy, Yes.
This is what an English editorial
writer has to say about boxing:
tfoxlng leaches the manners which
make men. To be able to take severe
punishment without loss of self-con
trol, vlctcry without exultaticn. and
defeat without depression, is a sound
mental and physical - discipline; and
we have little patience with those
who frown usually without much
knowledge of how it is conducted
upon a sport with which they have
no sympathy."
Quite true. "Quite true."
As a supreme test of physical en
durance, strength, skill and condition
there is no sport which approaches
boxing. Boxers, like good cricketers
and crokinole players, are not pro
duced by accident, but must have the
rough edges if any taken off by
degrees as they advance In the chosen
profession. We have never seen Ike
Cohen or Ping Bodie exult at victory.
Tom Sharkey learned in the prize ring
practically all he knew of parlor eti
quette and I dare say the same Is true
of Gunboat Smith, Arthur Pclkey, Jim
Flynn, Willie Meehan and a host of
other boxers. You could sit any of
them down in an English drawing
room and nobody would ever suspi
cion that they were not society
hounds unless the butler happened
to catoh them expectorating on the
csrpr-t or -whittling initials in the
piano stool.
Undoubtedly boxing leaches the
manners which make the men.
AGGIES TO MEET OREGON
Al Byers, former amateur feather
weight champion of the northwest,
will meet Georgia Eagles of San
Francisco In a 10-round bout In Tilla
mook. Or.,' next Wednesday night.
Jimmy Grady, a recent arrival from
Bremerton, Wash., weighing 152
pounds,, will tangle six rounds with
Johnny Houser of Wheeler -in the
semi-windup- of the Tillamook card.
Battling Macke and Bud Stengel, two
willing Portland ISO-pounders, are
down for a four-round clash. The
Tillamook fans should get their
money's worth of action of the in
itial card arranged by the boxing
commission and Matchmaker C E.
Jlowrey.
While there are many who think
McCormick deserved the verdict in his
match with Tommy Gibbons Wednes
day night and many more who
thought Denver Ed Martin's draw de
cision was right, a majority of the
so-called experts undoubtedly would
have given Gibbon's the decision he
earned.
Mike Butler, head of the Butler
school of boxing, remarked yesterday
mat uiddoiis won, but the bout was
close and a draw didn't hurt anvbodv.
James J. Richardson, former boxing
reieree, . tnougnt Ulbbons won, and
the same Is true of Bill Hayward. the
Oregon trainer, who referees bouts at
Eugene. .
"Gibbons did much the better box
ing." said Bill. "His work was done
at closa range and only those close to
the ring could appreciate his work.
McCormick did a lot of clouting and
looked good to the fans at some dis
tance from the ring, but few of his
blows landed anywhere except on
Gibbons' gloves or arms. I think
Gibbons won with ease."
Stanley McDonald, well-known in
structor and referee, said a draw
didn't hurt anybody, although the
edge was Gibbons' by a Blight margin.
Jack Grant, one of the best-known
referees on the Pacific coast, and
matchmaker of the Portland boxing
commission, is of the opinion that
Denver Ed Martini decision was cor
rect and the only one possible, taking
into consideration the amount of ac
tion the two men furnished.

WASHINGTON GUNNER FIRST
IN 125 -TARGET EVENT.
A hard game is ahead for the Mult
nomah Amateur Athletio club basket
ball team Saturday night when they
meet the Spokane Amateur Athletic
club quintet here, according to all the
dope that can- be gathered 'on the
boys from the Inland Empire city. Out
of seven games played the' Spokane
five has dropped only one contest
and that to the Washington State col
lege team, by the close score of 42 to
38. In the rest of their games the

the Lewis and Clark high school,
49 to 18; Spokane university, 59 to 20;
North Central high, 29 to' 19; Whit

Willamette "Bearcats" who is having
his own troubles right at present
with two members of the team sick
and another at home on account of
illness in his family, was forced to
cancel the game. The Mount Angel

local team is not in the best of con
dition they will be prepared to give
the visitors a run for their money

that Manager Fischer will have to
use a substitute in his place against
Spokane.

coached by Dr. George Pynn formerly
captain of the University of Minneso

the trip here. Captain "Toss" O'Neil,

sometimes every day in order to keep
the club in the race.-. Comiskey has
not forgotten this, and as he-knowi

snouia be restored. Several mem
bers on the minor league committee
declared, however, that there mus
be certain reservations made. The
minor leaguers' also declared for ap
pointment or an arbitration board
