TWO HEAVIES TO CLASH Clem Johnson to Go Against Andre AtoderMn; l'rankie Garcia Matched With Brenton. BY DICK SHARP. Toung Brown. Clem Johnson and Frankie Garcia. California boxers, who are to show their wares at the Armory Friday night, will start north tonisht, accompanied by Jimmy Ual lagher. who directs the business af fairs of the trio. Brown will meet Joe Gorman in the headliner of what promises to be another one of thoee sensational af fairs that the fans will speak of for months to come. Johnson, who is a negro tipplne the beam at better than 200 pounds, will face Andre Anderson, the giant Chicajro heavyweight, in the semi-final. Both of these huskies are Gollaths and something is sure to drop when they come together, j Johnson has had but one start since comlnc west, that with Tiny Herman, the promising young heavyweight of C'het Mclntyre. which resulted in a draw. iney tanpiea in "mmahu. Anderson, while he will make his first start before the fane of the city, has been here for the better part of throe weeks and has impressed all with his daily stunts in the gymna sium. He is a big. powerful, jjrood natured chap with a kick that would fell an ox. Anderson has met some of the beet men in the heavyweight division dur ing the time le has been in the i'ame. Among others ho holds a 20-round decision to his credit over Sam Lang ford, gained at Saskatoon, Canada. Frankie Garcia, the third Califor nian, who is making the trip north to meet Dick Brenton. is regarded as one of the hardest hitting bantams in California. Spanish by birth, this youngster is said to remind one of Joe Rivers when the latter first started winning his spurs in the game of swat. Garcia is the youngster who won a four-round decision over Neal Zim merman in Oakland three months ago when the east side blonde cast his lot with Dick Discnbcrry and invaded the Bear state. Matchmaker Evans plans on using Johnny Boscovitch and Joe Swain in one of the four-round events, while xho curtain-raiser will be made up between Carl Martin. Jimmy Moscow, Johnny Fugate, George Burns and Johnny Trambitas. Ticket reservations for Friday " night's bouts are coming in faster "han they did for the recent Joe Benjamin-Eddie Shannon bout, and even larger house than that which eted the two lightweights is ex ited when the featherweights clash, e seat sale will open at Sherman, r xy &. Co. Tuesday morning. The sale of tickets for the Benny onard-Johnny Sheppards go will , en Saturday, June 12. Reservations an be made by mailing a money .order to Walter B. Honeyman or Bobby Evans at Shrine headquarters, Gasco building. In sending in reservation money the war tax must be included. Billy Gibson, manager of light weight champion Benny Leonard, long-distance telephoned Bobby Ev ans that he and his lightweight cham pion would start north next Satur day and would open his training quarters in this city Tuesday, June 15. Johnny Shepardo, the European lightweight champion, will leave New 1'ork for Portland today. Leonard will train at the Multno mah Amateur Athletic club while preparing for the match, and will be assisted by Joe Benjamin, Joe Gor man and Alex Trambitas. The Englishman will be located at the Police gymnasium and will have Stanley Willis and Billy Mascott for sparring partners. George Eagles, the San Francisco featherweight, who wasn't good enough for a chance here, won an other fight in his home town the oth er night, defeating Jimmy Roach rated as the hardest hitting young feather around the Bay section. Roach has beaten Eddie Gorman and other ''well-known boxers, but was out classed by Eagles. George Shanklin, Tacoma promoter, has closed shop for the summer, the recent Walker-Herman match being cia final main event of the season. Johnny Noye. the Minneapolis light weight, who came to the coast sev eral months ago under the direction of Bobby Evans before the latter was appointed matchmaker of the Port land boxing commission. Is again in the city. Johnny had but one fight in this neck of the woods, that with Muff Bronson at Milwaukie, and he showed to fair advantage. Those who have seen Noye work with other boys than Bronson say that Noye failed to show at his best when seen here, in which case it is conceded that he must be some bat tler. Jimmy Brenton, a younger brother of Dick Brenton, is anxious to start here. He Is said to be a better boxer than Dick, who showed so well in his first start here against Sammy Gordon. The featherweight limit in boxing has grown in leaps and bounds. Some 30 years ago it was- 115 pounds, and, according to Jack Skelly, the Yonkers encyclopedia on things pugilistic, it never has been officially changed. Then Skelly opines that he and George Dixon fought the last real feather weight battle in New Orleans years and years a-go, with the weight 115 pounds ringside. The 122-pound limit, according to Skelly, came in about 32 years ago. It was then regarded as a "special class," in which Jimmy Lynch. Johnny Larkens and men like that contested. Yet here today, with 122 pounds ring Bide generally recognized as the high est weight at which titular matches should be decided, we have Benny Valger claiming the championship. Valger weighed in at 12'. pounds at 3 o'clock, which made him about 128 at ringside and Kilbane didn't weight In at all. George Bothner. who refereed the Btecher-Landos wrestling match, took a pedometer into the ring with him lust out of curiosity. He wanted to se how much ground he would cover in circling the arena while watching the grapplera at work. At the end of the contest, which lasted Z hours 13 minutes and 35 seconds, Bothner discovered he had traveled tt mile. t College Star Bids for Fame. Now comes Horace H. Ford, a for- jner athlete of Massachusetts college mentioned as a coming star of the big leagues. He is playing with the Boston Braves and is considered by a number of eastern sporting writ ers as a pretty prospect. It is many a moon since so many former col legians trying out in the big brush have received so much favorable com ment from the baseball scribes. It will be interesting to note how many of them will measure up to the prog nostications made for them. McGRAW WAXTS OUTFIELDER Deal Rumored to Strengthen Giants Squad Is Needed. It is reported ir. the Giant camp that John McGraw is about to make a deal for an infielder who wilu mate rially strengthen the club, but no in formation on the subject is available at this time. Just where the Giant leader may lay his hands on the de sired player is not clear. He tried hard last winter to land an infielder, making excellent offers for Rogers Hornsby, Milton Stock and Walter Maranvilie, but without suc cess. The further the season pro gresses the more obvious becomes the need of reinforcements for the Giant infield and even when Frank Frisch gets back into uniform the situation now existing wiil not be entirely remedied. Portland Motorboat Club ' Orth Mathiot has sold his partially completed hydroplane to Billy Love, vice-commodore of the club, who will complete her and enter her in the races this summer. Orth will spend several months at Twin Falls. Idaho, where he is employed by the Warren Construction company. The Vogler Boy III is in the hoist having her hull rubbed and oiled in preparation for the regatta and New berg races. Frank Mathiot is super intending the work of getting her ready. Skipper McLean has installed a new motor in the Blink which he ex pects will increase her speed several miles. The Dissie Marquam is being paint ed and having some soft spots In her hull repaired. William Pietzold has bought the Rudy from Marion Boone and is hard at work getting her ready for the summer. ROLAND ROBERTS ASHED EAST San Francisco Man Has Chance ol Being Sent to Australia. Eastern tennis officials of the American Lawn Tennis association have notified Dr. Sumner Hardy, president of the California Lawn Tennis association, that they are anx ious to see Roland Roberts of San Francisco in action in all the prin cipal tournaments of the east this season. They do not say so, but it is implied that Roberts stands a good chance of being selected to go to Australia as one of the four mem bers of the American Davis cup team. William Johnston, the national champion, left San Francisco last week and is now in New York ready to sail to England and France next Saturday. Johnston, with R. Norris Williams and Richard Tilden, are going to Europe to play in the pre liminary games which will decide which country shall have the right to challenge Australia to play for the Davis cup. It is for these games in the Antipodes that the tennis as sociation is looking for etra players, as it is doubtful if Tilden or John ston will be able to make the long trip. X1XE NOT TO TOUR ORIEXT Corvallis Board of Control Favors Trip for Next Year. UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON, Seattle, May 30. (Special.) Contrary to former plans, the varsity baseball team will not tour Japan this sum mer. Such is the decision of the board of control, made at its last meeting Wednesday evening. Lack of funds and the time element influenced the officials in their decision. It was considered advisable, however, to send the team to the orient next year. Another action of the board was the reappointment of "Hec" Edmund son as trainer and track coach, at an annual salary of J3000. Coach ,-Stub" Allison was authorized to consider ap plications for an assistant coach and submit his name to the board of control.

Those receiving the varsity letter were: Quissenberg, Terry, Jensen, Moist, McLaughlin, Hedberg, Estes, Muir, Merrill, Cummins, Grove, War- naker and Butler. Most of these men are freshmen and sophomores and will play next year. GAMBLING BASEBALL CURSE National League President Fights Evil Among Players. "Gambling is baseball's curse," comments William F. Baker, presi dent of the Philadelphia National league club. "Every means at our disposal is being employed to kill it in its every form, from watering on the results of games you're going to play in down to penny-ante in the Pullman sleeper, with everybody else trying to sleep. I mean, of course, gambling by the players. "The case of Tom Seaton and Casey Smith wilPhave a salutary ef fect. They must have had conclusive evidence about those fellows. Usually in big leagues the evidence has been so shadowy that it was dangerous to make any definite charges, though the magnates were absolutely sure of their ground." Rickey Has Lazy Pitchers. I have three Ditchers on mv team who are hustlers and anxious for the success of the team," said Branch Rickey of the Cardinals some time back, "and I have three who have ability, but are indifferent and lazy. I am not going to keep those fellows long. They will loaf at the expense of some other club unless they show a reversal in spirit. Since making the remark iiickey nas disposed of sev eral, but he still has more than three pitchers on his staff. Legion to Play Iron Works. HOOD RIVER, Or.. May 29. (Spe cial.)

STATE TOURNEY TODAY Little Preparatory Practice Had Sunday for Full Week's Play About to Start. Preliminary to the Oregon State golf championships, which event opens to day, an inter-city match between Portland and Aberdeen lumbermen was played yesterday on the Wa verley Country club links. The Port land Hoo Hoos defeated the Grays Harbor mashie wielders 40 points to 11, almost reversing the score of the first clash at Aberdeen some weeks ago when Aberdeen almost made a clean sweep of the match. The Aberdeen contingent numbered 20 players so it was necessary for Captain McGill to call upon one or two hardwood men who had not stuck a canthook in a spruce log for many a year. Rudolph Wilhelm one of these hybrid quasi-Portland lum bermen was matched with Heinrich Schmidt, former western champion. and won two points- winning both forenoon and afternoon matches on the ISth green. Walter Fovargue won three points for Aberdeen by defeating Ellis J Bragg. Dinner Given for Visitor. A dinner was given for the visiting players last night at the Waverley.

GIANTS SEARCH DEEP BUSH College Players or Anyone Would Help Plug Holes. Having failed to buy players to fill the gaping holes of its infield, the New York Giants club is shaking the college bushers for another Frank Frisch or Arnold Statz. who were picked up last year off university diamonds. Fletcher, captain of the team, and EARLIER DATES ARE SET FOR OLYMPIC SWIMMING TRIALS Change Made by Request of Hawaiian Islanders Hundred-yard Record Claimed for Charlie Paddock Not Accepted. THE dates of the Pacific coast Olympic swimming trials have been advanced from July 3 to June 26 and 27. The alteration was made at tho express wish of the Ha waiian association of the amateur athletic union. A team of about six swimmers from the islands are due In San Frarcisco this week and will put in the time training at the Nep tune beach tank in Alameda prior to th holding of the trials. With the exception of Duke Kahan amoku and Ludy Langor. none of the Hawaiian swimmers have ever visited this country before, and it is for the purpose of acclimating the visitors that the swimmer, are getting here far in advance of the date set for the trials. Immediately after the coast trials the Hawaiian swimmers who make good will go direct to New York and put in time there preparing for the final trials. Considerable interest is being taken In the reappearance of Ludy Langor. He has been out of competition for some years, but made a successful "come-back" lait month in the islands and if he is swimming as well as he used to. he will be a welcome addi tion to the American team to go' to Antwerp. There his been considerable inquiry among swimmers as to just what events will compose the Olympic games programme this year. Here is the full programme: Men, 100 meters; 100 meters back stroke: 200 meters breast stroke; 400 meters; 400 meters breast; 1500 meters: plain diving at 5 and 10 meters: fancy diving ft S and 10 meters; springboard diving. 1 meter and 3 meters. For women, 100 meters and 300 ffieicfg; plain div Doyle, the veteran second baseman, upon whom McGraw staked a large part of his 1920 chances, have failed him. Manager McGraw wanted Maran vilie, Hornsby or Stock and was will ing to pay close to a Ruth mark for them, but he could not make the deal. Bill Bars "Fake" Telegrams. A bill has been Introduced In the New York legislature making it a misdemeanor to send a fake telegram or false news by letters or wire to newspapers. It will hit the "first to the wire" fight managers and make them come straight with the news of contests. It- has been a nuisance for sporting editors to get reports of box ing matches from some of these foxy managers, only to discover later that the reports were all wrong. OLYMPIC SCHEME GIVEN 31 EMBERS OF TEAM TO GET NOMINATIONS FIRST. Filial Committee to Make Choice of Men Who Will Carry V. S. Colors Abroad. NEW YORK. June 6. Selection of American athletes who will represent the United States in the various Olym pic games contests in Belgium, will be made by two committees, the per sonnel of which was announced here tonight. The nominating committee, consisting of two odd members, will name the athletes, after the various try-outs, who, in its opinion, are en titled to places on the teams. These nominations will in turn be passed upon by the team selection committee, which will have full and final power regarding the selection of all Olympic contestants from the Unit ed States. The same method will be employed in the selection of coaches and trainers for the various teams. Names will be presented by commit teemen from different sections of the country. The members of the two commit tees include representatives of every sport-governing body of the United States which is affiliated with the American Olympic organization and other athletic authorities from all parts of the country. VALE HAS SUNDAY SPORTS Undergraduates Given Concession Considered Unique. Sunday sport of a purely recrea tional nature has been allowed at Yale for the first time in the history of the university. Official action by the trustee board of the university permtited the opening of Yale field and adjoining grounds which are owned by the college to unorganized athletics for recreational enjoyment, but not for competition or organized games. The students of the university did not take advantage of the permission as generally as was expected, al though the fields were extensively used. Yale was founded by Congrega tional clergymen, and the permission could not have been gained in any previous era of the institution. . A number of clergymen still remain members of the corporation which passed the vote. The grounds will be opened for sports of an unorganized practice nature every Sunday till the close of the college year in June. ISLAND SWIMMERS IN U. S. Hawaiian Stars to Try for Places on American Team. Hawaii's swimming stars now In the United States to compete Tor places on the American team to go to the Antwerp olympiad are: Helen Moses. Duke Kahanamoku. Pua Kea loha, Warren Kealoha. If John Kelii, supposed to be in New York, can be located he probably will be added to the list, while an effort will be made to have "Stubby" Kruger, formerly of Hawaii but now of St. Mary's col lege, Oakland, Cal.. swim under the island colors. Helen Moses developed her swim ming ability at Milo, on the island of Hawaii, but recently moved to Hono lulu and now wears the colors of the Outrigger club. She was the only woman selected for the team. Duke Kahanamoku is the eprint champion of the world. He swam at the 1912 olympiad at Stockholm. Pua Kealoha and Warren Kealoha. are not brothers, although they are team mates of the Hui Makani (Hul meaning club) of Honolulu. Both jumped into prominenoe at the swim ming meet at Honolulu last Novem ber and improved their" performances at the recent centennial meet. Both hold world's marks. John Kelii left Hawaii some time ago and has been reported recently as working on the New York water front. He has given Duke Kahana moku some hard races In the 100 yard distance. Hastings Makes Fast Time. William Hastings, a 51-year-old athlete, recently won a 21-mile race in England in the remarkable time of 2 hours 34 minutes 8 1-5 seconds.

BIG CROWD HEARS SERMON Prognostication Based on Sacrifice or Abraham In 2 035 B. C. World War Foretold. Something unusual is due to strike this old world in about five years. The day of the resurrection is near- mg and Bible prophecy places the time at 1925. Such was the declara tion of Rev. M. L. Hurr of Brooklyn, N. Y., a leader of the International Bible Students' association.more com monly known as the Russcllites, In an address given last night in the Woodmen temple teefore an audience which taxed the capacity of the hall. Dr Hurr is on a tour of the Pacific coast for the creed sect which he represents. Millions who are now living already have achieved eternal life, for all practical purposes, the speaker fur ther elucidated, for if the resurrec tion occurs in five years and the dead return to earth at that time to enjoy everlasting life, then it natu rally follows that those millions now living who do not die between now and 1925 will receive the inheritance of the new order without passin through that strange experience of death and the resurrection. Skepticism Warned Against. "The longing in the human heart to have the loved ones back with us is to be answered, according to Bible prophecy." the speaker declared. "The dead are to be returned from the grave and the earth is to be restored to the perfectfon of the Garden of Eden. When but a few short years from now you read in the daily pa pers of the appearance of certain unusual men in Palestine with strange and Godlike powers who claim to be Moses and Abraham and Daniel and others, do not be skep tical, but realize that the time is at hand for deliverance of your loved ones from the tomb." The creed of the Russellites, as propounded by Dr. Hurr last night, is alleged to be based upon careful study of the Bible, and holds that the world is to experience redemption within five years. The end of the world, as ordinarily referred to, is not, to occur, but the present world system is to be discontinued and a heavenly state established on this earth, which will Include such fea tures as eternal life and world per fection. The speaker scored spiritual ism, asserting that the Bible teaches that there are certain evil spirits. black angels of an unseen world, who delight to plague the living by impersonating the dead and pretend ing to send messages from the dead to the living, either -directly or through so-called spiritualistic med iums. Key to Date Found. The collective ages of five animals which Abraham offered as a sacrifice to God is the key to the date of 1925 as the time when the trumpets of the resurrection shall blow, according to the speaker. In the year 2035 B. . C. God offered Abraham an inheritance of all the land of Palestine, he said, and Abraham in gratitude offered a sacrifice of a lamb, a heifer and a goat, each three years old. and a pigeon and a dove, that had each reached the age of one year. The combined age of the animals was thus 11 years. Under the promise Abra ham was thus to receive his inherit ance in 11 "times." Each Biblical "time" is given as 360 years and thus the Jewish father was asked to wait 3960 years before coming into his own. Starting with 2035 B. C. a period of 3960 years would come to an end in 1925, the date when not only Abraham but the entire human race Is to come Into its own. Through a somewhat similar reasoning, the speaker asserted, Bible students had been able to forecast the beginning of the world war in 1914. dating from the prophet Daniel's statement that the Gentile period would continue ior seven "times' from tne oaie ouo n. .. the capture of Jerusalem by tne Babylonians. The speaker declared tie couia not. picture the actual occurences in con nection with the promised resurrec tion, as Bible prophecy did not give Bible students sufficient insight into the nature of the event. Between now and then, however, he declared. there will be a gradual uplifting or the hearts of men, now clogged with selfishness, towards sympathy and brotherly love. POLO GROUNDS ARE AT STAKE Charges Bandied Abont Between Two New York Teams.' "If we are ordered off the Polo grounds it will mean that our Na tional league rivals will go back on their word to the Yankees," said Col onel Jacob Ruppert, president of the New York American league club. "When the Federal league peace settlement was made early in 1916, one of the stipulations was that the New York Nationals should grant us a " long-term lease on the Polo grounds. We had a verbal under standing to that effect with Hemp stead, who was then president of the Giants, and it had the approval of the National league." The refusal of the Giants to per mit the New York Americans to re main on the Polo grounds after this season will cost the National league club J65.000 a year the rental which the Yankees now pay for the privi lege on the grounds of their National league rivals. Rugby Union Has Grounds. The English Rugby union han a ground of its own for big matches. The football association, the body governing soccer, may shortly secure a field of Its own. This year's Eng lish cup final is tp be held on the Stamford bridge ground, the largest In London. Lillian Snow-grass Wins Swim. ALAMEDA, CaU June 6. Lillian Snowgrass, swimming for the Oak land Athletic club, won the Pacific association women's Junior 100-yard backstroke championship in the Nep tune Beach pool here today.

Football, However, Is Not Consid- ercd Practical Because of Coht of Equipment. OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL LEGE, Corvallis. June 6. (Special.) lntra-mural athletics have filled i large place this last year in the phys ical-education programs at the Oregon Agricultural college. J. G. Arbuthnot, professor of physical education, who has been director tms year, and rc. u "Coley" Coleman, assistant in the de partment, have put through a sched ule of inter-class and inter-organization competition that has included practically every man on the campus. Intra-murai iooioan was not con sidered practicable on account of the cost of equipment and the fact that Injuries are more apt to result where men are not in strict training for the sport. During the football season cross-country running occupied the attention of a great many men, who signed up for this sport as equivalent to their gymnasium work Local fraternity and national fra ternity groups were organized .into competition and a unai aii-organiza tion cross-country race was held just before Thanksgiving, resulting in win for the Aztec fraternity. A silver loving cup was given as a trophy. Sigma Phi Epsilon was second. Phi Delta Thete third and Kappa Theta Rho fourth. Indoor baseball, in which 27 teams competed, followed close on the heels I of the cross country. The large dirt- I floor armory was used for olavinz Ijiie, games.

Meteorologist. Klliott Would Drop "Rowdy." Aa a matter o fail- play it would v. 1 3 aS2M seem only right that "Rowdy" El liott of San Francisco, now playing with the Brooklyn team, be In future relieved of the incubus of the nick name that has been attached to him. Time was when Howard was younger and filled with the pep and jazz of youth. Possibly the monai-her might have been appropriate in those days. However, all reports are that F.lliott is one of the best behaved players in the big leagues, and tho aspersion cast on him by the nickname seems out of place. The following story is told of John Ball, eight times British amateur golf champion: On chancing to visit a lit tle place in Wales he was so struck by the picturesque character of the course that he thought he would like to play a round, not so much for the golf as for the scenery. In the club house the only person he found was a venerable old man, who. without inquiring into the identity of the vis itor, promptly agreed to a match. They played lev-el. The elderly man did not profess to be a great golfer, and as Ball took the game light-heartedly, enjoying the mountain views and knocking the ball around, the local man was one up at the 17th. Then the visitor thought he ought to do something, so r" r"""'uc.' " - ". drive to the 18th. He topped his shot into a chasm 50 yards in front of the tee. The patriarch popped his ball over the pit and won by two holes. By the time they had reached the clubhouse a good many members were present and the champion was rec ognized. "You've been doing a very bold thing this morning." said one of them to the old man. "What did you get beaten by?" "I didn't get beaten at all," was the reply. "I won by two up. And we were playing level." "What?" demanded the Interroga tor. "You won by two holes. Don't talk rot. Do you know you've been playing John Ball?' "I don't know, who ne is," remarked the amiable old party in maner en tirely unimpresed, "but I tell you 1 won by two holes. As k him if you don't believe it." ills r -' -' --I i'- nnii.' ifn '-'i nr " - - 1 The Better Way to Shave The Perfect Sharing Cream CUTS SHAVING TIME IN HALF.
