BY ROSCOE FAWCETT. 0" NE hears some wild and woozy tales about this French boxing champion, Georges Carpentier, but the wildest and wooliest yarn is that sprung by an English box ing expert, explaining Carpentier's summary defeat of Joe Beckett. The Englishman didn't plagiarize on Bob Edgren and say that somebody put some bootleg or other brand of poison in Beckett's soup. He was an original bird. His alibi for Beckett was that either Carpentier or his manager, Descamps, hypnotized the English champ. There is no question but that Beck ett was in a trance for a few mo ments after Carpentier sunk him with a punch. It might have been a trance or hypnotic origin. And somebody might strike a gold mine on Ross island. And lots of other queer things might be. The hypnotic theory, however, be longs in the same morgue with the Edgren story that Jeffries was doped at Reno. When a New York writer asked Descamps about his alleged hypnotic eye the Frenchman laughed and put forth this interesting explanation: Sixteen years ago a little white-faced boy crept into the gymnasium of the "Professor of Lens." The professor was an unusual, mysterious man with shaggy eyebrows and piercing eyes. He was a physical culturist and con- urer. He even taught la boxe An- glaise, then an unknown art in France. That was the beginning of the uart- nership of Carpentier and Descamps. At that time Descamps had few pu pils and the francs were scarce. Every Sunday morning the "professor" took his pupil to a neighboring town where handbills were posted announc ing the following performance: "he Acrobat Superb Juggler Mag nificent La Boxe Anglaise The Man of Mystery The Hypnotic Trance. Professor Descamps and His Pupil Georges." The 'Professor" opened the show with feats of jugglery, after which Georges would do a few turns at acrobacy. Then the two donned the gloves in an exhibition of la boxe Anglaise. As a grand finale Des camps would hypnotize little Georges and while in the trance Georges would spiel off a lot of information about local people, which "info" the two of them had picked up during the day. It is a safe bet, too, that Georges didn't forget to pass the hat while in his trance. Thus did Carpentier start on the road to fame. Hypnotize Beckett? Yes; just like Fulton hypnotized Gun boat Smith. Benny Leonard, the lightweight king, will make approximately $200 000 from his first experiment with the motion pictures. Recently while in southern California the writer took a jaunt out to Hollywood and went through several studios, includ ing Universal city, where Leonard is doing bis shadow boxing with' the camera men. The inBide "dope" on Leonard's contract bears out the in "TINY" HERMAN SIGNED ASTORIA HEAVYWEIGHT WILL MEET JOE LAWSON.

California seems to be split over the stymie question in golf. The South ern California Golf association paid no attention to the stymie rule in its recent tourney, but the game is to be played according to Hoyle in the northern California event, which opens Friday. While we thoroughly agree with those who think the stymie rule ridiculous in its present form. It is a question if sectional in terpretation of international rules is a good thing for any sport. The Western Golf association tried a fllnger at manufacturing a new stymie rule without consulting the u. 8. association and the attempt fell flat. Revision of the golf rules should be left to international com mittees else we shall, have different brands of golf in this country and in Great Britain, and the added 'stim ulus that comes from international competition will be gone. The northern California golf cham pionships this year will bring together two of the greatest young exponents of. the game on the Pacific coast Claire Griswold of Seattle. Pacific northwest amateur champion, and Sam Conlan Jr., city champion of Can Francisco. Conlan is a member of the Lincoln Park Municipal club in San Francisco, and he won nearly every tournament in which he was entered in northern California last year. After defeating Jack Neville in the finals of the city champion ships on the municipal links an in vitation was extended him to com pete in a special meet at the San Francisco Golf and Country club. Everybody winked and said: "Get him off the municipal links and he's through." But Conlan crossed the wisacres by qualifying low in a field of 240 entries. In the match rounds he mowed down his opponents in one, two, three order and won the compe tition. Griswold also is a product of the municipal links Jefferson Park. Se attle.

Jack Thompson will not arrive from Tulsa until Saturday. He will be ac companied by bis manager and a sparring partner. Ad Garlock has a heavyweight pro tege whom he will shortly start in the local ring. Garlock's battler would particularly like to take on Henry Wilde, another local white hope, as soon as he gets in shape.

STATE TO BUY DECISION ALLOWS EXTENSION OF PHEASANT BREEDING. Louis E. Bean Says Thousands of Birds Will Be Liberated When All Farms Are Operating. EUGENE. Or.. April 14. (Special.) With a favorable decision of the state supreme court, allowing the state game and fish commission to purchase the Reddish farm near this city for a game farm, plans for iti improvement and enlargement . will now Se carried out, according to Louis E. Bean, member of the state legislature, who was largely renpon Bi ble for the establishment of the farm here. Mr. Bean said yesterday that the capacity of the pheasant pens will be doubled in the near future and when the Improvements are completed 4000 birds can be handled. He said that it is the plan of the commission hereafter to purchase at least one new game farm each year for four or five years. The money comes from the game licenses and only enough to buy one farm each year is available from this source. When the plans of the commission are finally consummated, said Mr. Bean, it is expected that 20,000 pheas ants yearly will be liberated from these farms, meaning a great in crease in the number of wild game birds in various parts of this state in the future.

Ever Hammer (yes. that's his real I name, arrived from Los Angeles yes terday to put on the finishing touches for bis ten-round setto with taaie Shannon of San Francisco in the main event of tomorrow night's flstio card at the Armory. Hammer has about the best natural name fitted for a fighter in the business. Battling Nel son was a wonderful natural cog nomen, but Ever Hammer seems to have the best. And Ever Is a rip- tearing battler just like Nelson, only he don't take Quite as many on the chin as the original Battler did to get in a good one himself. Although Hammer knows that c.a- die Shannon is perhaps the greatest lightweight on the coast he does r.ot fear the clever Harp in the least and said after bis workout yesterday ufternoon that he expects to polish Shannon off in shipshape style. Ham mer has seen Shannon box and knows what he is up against. Mahoney Gets Hammering. Ever's last fight was in Los Angeles when he took on. Eddie Mahoney, Jack Kearas' Irish lightweight champion. iThey say Hammer hammered Mahoney all over the ring and then was given the worst of the decision. Hammer is accompanied by "Dutch" Meyers and the latter said his man is just getting in real condition since being on the coast. It is the general opinion among tne Portland fistic fraternity that it will take a mighty .good man to beat Shannon, basing their conclusions on Eddie's showing against Freddie An.- derson on the last card staged under the auspices of the Portland boxing commission. Shannon is in excellent condition and is primed for a ten- round clash against a man the caliber of the Chicago battler. Hammer la 23 Yeara Old. Hammer is far from being the old man that has been pictured by some of the knocking brigade. He will only be 25 years old on his next birth- day and does not look a day older than many of the "young" light weights boxing in the northwest. Harry Casey, Chet Neff. Harry Ander son, and many other well-known box ers in these parts who are fighting regularly are 25 and past and never reached the heights on the fistic lad der of fame that Hammer has achieved. The last two cards staged by the Portland Boxing commission have been humdingers for action and Matchmaker Bobby Evans has what looks to be a top-notch bill lined up for tomorrow night. The tickets went on sale Tuesday at Rich s and Sailer's and they have been in brisk demand. The remainder of the card sticks out with class. Stanley Willis slammed the daylights out of the rugged Lloyd Madden in Aberdeen Monday night and will tackle another rough cus tomer in Steve Dalton of San Fran cisco in, theight-round seml-wlndup of tomorrow night's kill. Dalton 11mm Southern Rep. Dalton is one of the welterweight kingpins of California and said to be a veritable whirlwind for aggressive mixing. Joe Gorman is scheduled to go eight rounds against Eddie Jackson, a fast- coming Seattle featherweight; Sammy Gordon meets Harry Mansell of Eng. land In a six-round -go. while Freddie Lough and George Burns open the show in a four-round contest. Grover Francis, well-known foot ball star and refeTee, will make his debut as a referee of boxing matches tomorrow night. "Soldier" Bartfield. the New York rild man, is now promenading the boulevards of Paris. He has won sev eral bouts across the pond, and will return t the United States soon. Pinky and Ritchie Mitchell, the clever brothers from Milwaukee. Wis, who boxed in the Northwest last year are coming to the coast again this summer. Bill Talt. the big colored heavy weight, who was serving as a spar ring partner for Jack Dempsey, has been shipped back to New York by Jack Kearns. Tait will be left in New York until Dempsey gets into actual training for a championship match. The New Jersey boxing commission announces in the future all but the heavyweights will have to weigh In the presence of the commission, and all stalling lighters will be eliminated from the state. Morris Lux. the clever Kansas City boxer, may meet Benny Leonard in Seattle, if the champion fights in the Sound City this summer. K. O.

Baseball Team Will Probably Have to Face University of Oregon With Almost No Preparation. WASHINGTON STATE COLLEGE. Pullman, April 14. (Special.) With Rogers field covered with a sheet of water, spring athletics at the state college are at a standstill. The opening game of the baseball season is but two weeks in the offing and the first conference track meet, that with the University of Washing ton, is scheduled for May 1. Ath letic Director Bohler stated today that workouts for his trackmen have been confined to jogging about the Indoor track. Bohler has unusual prospects this season for a winning team in at least the Northwest conference for he has Jenn, pole vault record holder. and Captain Jit Smith, claimant of the two-mile record, in addition to sev eral other athletes who are consistent point winners. No outdoor baseball workouts have been held by Coach Schroeder for three weeks and the team will prob ably enter the arena against the Uni versity of Oregon on the local dia mond with practically no preparation. HATS OFFERED PLAYERS FIRST "BOXERS" WILL DRAW REWARDS FROM J. MAUCK. Plans Are Being Laid for Big Parade on Opening Day and for Other Features. Joe Mauck, the hatter, was the first baseball booster to start the ball rolling and has announced that he will give to the first Beaver register ing a bonehead play during the sea son here this year a cap. or hat with the player's name imbedded with gold letters. The boner may be made at the opening game April 21 or may occur later in the season. The base ball writers will determine the first boner made by a McCredie cohort. Mauck has another unique offer in that he will give the two umpires here the opening week each a cap with their names in gold letters if they get by without having the fans raise a squawk against any of their decisions. The baseball boosters have begun to come to life and at a meeting Mon day it was decided to hold the usual parade with a lot of extras this year.
