MECHANICS' BUILDING. Boston.
April 7. A group of fighting cham
pions, who are regarded as excellent
possibilities for selection as repre
sentatives of America at the Olympic
games, were developed at the national
amateur boxing title tournament,
which closed here last night. Six were
new holders of the premier honors,
while two of last year's winners who
tried to retain their laurels were
beaten back. Tommy Murphy of Kan-,
sas City returned to the title list on
which he appeared three years ago,
and Sam Lagonia of New York re
peated his success of last year.
Principal interest in the closing
bouts of the tournament centered In
the game attempt of Edward Eajan,
Yale's husky boxing leader, to retain
the heavyweight title which he won
last year and gain also the 175-pound
crown. He went down to defeat in
two slashing battles, each semi-final
events, that gave the best exhibition
of fighting spirit of the night.
Burke Brki Hand.
Burke. Eagan's conqueror in the
175-pound class, lost a chance for the
double honors which the Yale man
sought when he broke his right hand
in defeating Rudolph Peterson of San
Francisco for the title in that class
and was forced as a consequence to
default in the heavier "division.
tThe final bouts without exception
yfert hard and close. That in the 135-
pound class went an extra round.
Tommy Murphy of Kansas City, re
gaining his title through a foul by B.
lionteau of New York, a negro.
Donza's attempted defense of his
title' failed before the pluck and the
punch of Neal Brock of Cleveland, who
eliminated the champion in the semi
final round.
Eagan went down In the semi-final
of the 175-pound class before John
Burke of Pittsburg. Floored in the
first round, Eagan forced the fighting
and outscored his opponent in the sec
ond. The last round was a slugging
match, with Eagan groggy but still
fighting at the finish. Eagan had
lost two pounds in his previous fight,
but was outweighed IV pounds by his
opponent, Karl Wicks of Boston, but
he gave almost as many and as hard
punches as he received.

PREP SCHEDULE ADOPTED
Ed Rankin and Dan Sbea to Be
Umpires.
The tentative Interscholastic base
hall schedule drawn up by the prep
school coacnea at a recent meeting
was adopted by the directors of the
league at a meeting held in the Mult
nomah Amateur Athletic club Tues
day night. Outside of putting their of
ficial "O. K." 6n the baseball sched
ule there was very little other busi
ness of Importance transacted by the
principals at their session yesterday.
Ed. Rankirr and Dan Shea were se
lected as the official umpires of the
circuit. Rankin, besides having sev
eral years' experience as an umpire
in the Pacific Coast league, has also
worked In the Interscholastic games
before. Shea haa had several years
of experience as a league ball player
May 28 has been set as the date
for the annual interscholastic track
meet, which will be held on the Mult
nomah Amateur Athletic club field.
T. Morris Dunne, secretary-treasurer
of the Pacific Northwest Amateur as
sociation, will again handle the track
meet of the high schoolers.
The opening game of the season
will be played on April 26, with Co
lumbia university and Lincoln as the
opposing teams. The first game was
originally set for .May 28 between
Hill Military academy and Columbia,
but as this game would fall on the
same date set for the track meet It
was decided at the meeting yester
day to et the final game ahead to
the following Tuesday, which will fall
on June 2.
: All games scheduled for Monday
and Tuesday of each week will be
played on the field at East Twelfth
and Davis streets or some other avail
able grounds, while the contests
heaved a wild one to first base in an
exhibition game. Let the season
commence. Buck -is in form.
Hap Felsch of the White Sox is a
real hitter; next to that somewhat of
a comedian. The Sox athletes delight
in goading 'Hap into conversation,
enjoying, among other things, his
German accept. One day a player
made a remark about Felsch's physi
cal strength. Hap admitted he was
pretty muscular and then added:
"But you ought to see my brother.
When he was 11 years old he was so
strong he grew a mustache."
"Manager McCredie of the Port
land Beavers is after new players."
Thus the headlines. Not in the mem
ory of a man has there been a time
when Mister McCredie was not after
players it they didn't cost anything.

COTTAGE GROVE. Or.. April 7.
(Special.) The millage tax measure
for the maintenance of the institu
tions of higher learning, the rural
schools millage tax, the measure to
raise the limit of indebtedness for
state bonds to 4 per cent and the lo
cal school budget all received heart?
indorsement at a meeting of the citi
zens of the community held in con
nection with the regular meeting ofj
when speeches were made by Presi
dent Campbell of the university and
Representative James Stewart, author
of the road measure.
President Campbell referred to the
days of 60 years ago when in com
pany with his father, one of the pio
neer circuit riders of the Presbyterian
church, he visited Cottage Grove over
roads that were almost impassable in
even the best of weather and drew a
contrast between the little settle
ment of that day compared with he
busling little city of oday, whose
graduates outrank those of all the
Btate in the marks by which they this
year gained admission to the uni
versity.
Representative Stewart explained
that unless the limit on road bond in
debtedness is raised the work pro
Jected by the state must come to an
end by the close of 1920. Mr. Stewart
also made an appeal for the 2-mill
rural schools amendment. He ex
plained that this, as a matter of fact.
added nothing to the tax roll, as the
money raised through this tax will
reduce by that much the amount to
be raised in each district by direct
taxation.

NEW TORK, April 7. It's going to
be a hard matter to drive the idea
out of some promoters' heads, that
a world's championship boxing match
between Jack Dempsey and Georges
Carpentier is not the real thing
among sporting events. Urorn a at
traction standpoint the, Carpentier
Dempsey thing is the article, but tak
ing the prospects of a real, honest-to-goodness
contest into consideration,
thene are many other matches the
French visitor could engage in more
satisfactorily than one with the
world's championship.
At present there is little prospect
of agreeing on details for a bout be
tween Jack and Georges. That event
has been set back until Dempsey has
cleared himself of the "Blacker
charges. In the meantime the field
b nice and clear for the Frenchman
to go and gather easy money. That's
what he came here for, and' he is
lucky to hit a time when nobody can
say, "Why don't you take on Demp
sey?" Fight Easy to Evade.
The question is easy of evasion
now, but a fighter is a fighter and he
should stick to his game to some ex
tent, at least. Carpentier should do
some fighting while he is here. He 11
find plenty of opponents, and among
them are men who would probably
draw a fine, big gate with him.
It is the suggestion that the three
heavyweight championsip aspirants
namely, Ray Smith, Gene Tunney ana
Bob Martin meet in a aeries of bouts
to determine who is the champion
of the former American soldiers men
who did their bit in the war as well
as did Carpentier and tnen let tne
final winner meet Carpentier. Such
a bout would be one that would ere
ate world-wide interest, and no
early forecasts of an annihilation of
one contestant or the other could be
made.
Tunney is willing to undergo such
a series of bouts to get to the much
touted visitor," said his manager,
Sammy Kelly, who has just arrived
in town from Havana and who nas
resumed managerial relations. "Gene
isn't afraid of any of them, nor Car
pentier, either. He was willing to take
the Frenchman on in France w.hil
he was over there, but Georges didn't
accept the issue. However, it's not
too late, and, with the prospect or us
getting 13-round bouts to decisions
inthis state, nothing could be finer
from a sporting and promotion stand
point than a bout between the Amer
ican soldier winner and Georges.
Record Not Startling.
Kelly speaks truly. It would be a
treat bout. It would be an attrac
tion of wonderful dimensions, and
from it Carpentier would probably
get almost as much as he would In
a bout with the merican champion
As the days pass and as Car
pentier is judged by the critical eyes
of the fight fans, it is almost sure
that the ranks of his followers will
be depreciated, so far as the pro
nosed Demnsey match is concerned.
There is notHing in Carpentier3
record that measures up to that found
in Dempsey's. It will be recalled that
the American mtddleweights, Billy
Papke and Frank Klaus, clouted"
Georges until he cried quits. We
readily understand and admit that
Carpentier was a mere -youth then,
less than 20 years of age. when he
met those reverses. But in 1914, the
last year in which he faced a good
man. the aging Joe Jeanette defeated
him on points, and then there was his
victory, on a foul, over Gunboat
Smith. They were fine performances
for a youth, but since he has attained
his full growth he has not beaten a
first-class man, and the years since
have not served to increase his box
ing skill, because he spent most of
the time in the service of his coun
try and boxed only a few men. These
had no class.
Eddie Stanton, manager of Willie
Green, has been swamped with offers
for his protege's services. Stanton
will probably close with the Spring
field, 111., club for a match with Willie
O'Donnell, the Cleveland flash, April
15.-
Mickey Sheridan has taken undet
his management a bantamweight who
looks like a promising lad in his di
vision. Sheridan is after a match for
his boy against Sammy ButtB. Jimmy
Kelly, or any other one of the ban
tams around this vicinity.
...
George Wilson, the colored light-1
heavyweight who has been helping
Sam Langtord in his training bouts,
has received an offer to meet John
Lester Johnson before the Arena Ath
letic club of Detroit.
v
When a champion boxer falls and is
"down and out" for good, he becomes
a mark for many of the aspiring
fighters in his class. That has been
the case with Jack Dillon, once king
of the light heavyweights, and known
as the "giant-killer" the world over.
Years Make Difference.
Dillon never asked about how much
the other fellow weighed, although he
never scaled over 160 to 168 himself
and could make the middleweight
limit of 158 pounds if necessary. Jack
merely 'said "bring 'em along." He
fought the best of the big men. in
cluding such heavyweights as Frank
Moran, 200 pounds; Gunboat Smith,
190 pounds: Jim Flynn; Tom Cowler,
220 pounds; Joe Cox, 220 pounds;
Porky Flynn, 200 pounds: Charlie
Welnert, 190 pounds; Battling Levin
sky, 175; Billy Miske, 185, and a score
of others.
The other day a letter and clipping
from the manager ..pt Paul Roman.
Kansas City middleweight, was sent
broadcast stating that he had given
Jack Dillon a severe beating, knock
ing him down twice and "accomplish
ing something no other boxer ever
did."
From all accounts, Paul Roman is a
fairly good middleweight, but he Is
not helping his record by giving glow
ing accounts of how he whipped the
famous Jack Dillon, for poor Jack
has been "all In" the last two years.
and the pity is that he should be
obliged now to take on matches of
any kind.
The reports said that "youth and
aggressiveness triumphed over age
and prestige," but it was not needed
in this case, for Dillon was not fit
for a real battle with a first-class
lightweight, let alone a middleweight
or heavyweight.
The wonder is that Jack was able
to go the distance at all. It was no
doubt his wonderful constitution that
enabled him to eves stand, through
