FIGHTS SHY
OF MEETING ORTEGA
Middleweight "Champ" Like
All Other Title Holders.
ALL THORNS ARE AVOIDED
Way Picked" Along Titular Path
in Order to Retain Crown; More
Money Is Demanded. .
BY- DICK SHARP.
Johnny Wilson, Boston's adopted
middleweight champion, wants some
thing softer than Battling Henry Or
tega of Oakland, who meets Mike
O'Dowd of St. Paul in the main tan
pie of tomorrow night's boxing card
at the MUwaukie arena.
Wilson has turned down the Tulsa.
Okia., offer on the grounds that the
purse isn't sufficient size. Johnny,
like all "champions" before and after
him, is '"picking" his way along the
championship path and is not going
to step on any thorns being that he
was so fortunate as to earn a decision
over o'Dowd.
Wilson Makea Xo Answer.
If Wilson did not care to meet Or
tega it is a safe bet he hasn't any as
pirations to tackle the winner of the
O'Dowd-Ortega fight at the MUwau
kie arena. Matchmaker Frank Ken
dall has not yet reecived an answer
from Wilson as 'to the latter caring
to fight the winner of tomorrow
nicrht's battle, and is not likely to.
Wilson will stay away from Mike
O'Dowd just as long as he can, re
gardless of what he may have to say
in the east now that O'Dowd is on
the other side of the continent. To
hear Wilson talk, one would think
he would step in and take on Mike
any day, but perhaps if the St. Paul
tioy was back in Johnny's territory
he would not be so outspoken as to
his courage.
As soon as Wilson heard that Or
tega had got a draw with O'Dowd he
immediately became wary and
dropped the Tulsa. Okla., offer like a
hot potato.
Mulch Called Off.
The Wilson-Ortega match was sug
gested by (Jeorge IMummer, Tulsa pro
moter, according to Tommy Simpson,
Ortega's manager, who arrived here
yesterday. Simpson telegraphed back
his terms and here was I'lummer's
reply:
"Just had a return message from
Johnny Wilson. He asks me to get
someone else other than Ortega for
him. 1 have wired him again, a bigr
ger offer, but he sure wants plenty.'
But even with the added offer
Johnny could not see a match with
Ortega.
Both O'Dowd and the Battler worked
out yesterday afternoon at the Olym
pic gymnasium and are in great
shape. Ortega took the iloor at 1
o'clock and after skipping rope
punching the bag and going through
three rounds of shadow boxing,
donned the gloves and took on
several sparring partners. O'Dowd
limbered up and went through all
of the gym stunts, but did rot box
anyone. It was too ho; and. being
in excellent cendition already. Mike
did not want to sap his strength.
Nothing "was done , toward the se
lection of a referee yesterday, but a
meeting between Paddy Mulllns,
Tommy Simpson, Frank Kendall and
George Moore will be held today to
arrive at some conclusion for an offi
cial.
The eight-round semi-windup be
tween Willie St. Clair and Kddie
Shannon is coming in for a good deal
of attention. Shannon's defeat at the
hands of Joe Benjamin is being tabbed
as a fluke by a number of the fistic
followers, who still believe that Kddie
is the kingpin of Pacific coast light
weights. St. Clair has never fought
in the northwest, but comes here with
a formidable record behind him.
Willie has fought nearly all of th.
best 1 3G1pounders in the middle west
au'l California.
A slugging match is looming In the
six-round tilt between Johnny Fiske
of Jiock Island and Niei Zimmerman.
'The Portland youngster registered a
;knockout victory in Eugene the other
day.
The six-round match between Dan.
ny Kdwards and Baby Blue, the two
bantam tar babies, will be for the
colored bantamweight championship
of the world. Both now claim the
title and there does not seem to be
anyone else disputing their claims.
Toung Fisher and Johnny Bosco
vltch will clash in the four-round cur-
tain raiser.
Insures him a place on the diving
team to compete at Antwerp In Au
gust. The Northwestern swimming cham
pionships scheduled for Victoria, B.
C, to be held under the auspices or
the Victoria island Amateur Athletic
association, will take place some time
in August. Due to the fact that the
cream of Portland's aquatic contin
gent will -be in Europe, the diving
forces will be weak. Helen and
Irene Pembroke and Helen Hicks will
represent the Multonomah club in the
swimming and diving events for
women.
Fred Cady of Philadelphia, known
best as the swimming coach of Olga
Dorfner, world's sprint champion, has
another dark horse for the Olympic
games tryout to be held in New York,
on Saturday. Irene Guest, a youth
ful swimming sensation, is credited
with covering the furlong in 3:01, the
world mark being 2:56 and held by
Fanny Durack of Australia. The
American mark for this distance, held
by Dorothy Burns of Lob Angeles,
is 2:59.
The question of whether Fanny
Durack and Mina Wylie, world's
swimming champions of Australia,
who were beaten in their tour of
America, will attend the Olympic
games events at Antwerp or not is
unsettled. After their first defeat at
the hands of the American girls, the
Australian women returned to their
native water. It has been reported
that Miss Durack was about to re
tire from the swimming game.
More than one red nose can be ac
counted for in Portland today. No sly
winks either. Old Sol shown down
with such blissful, blistering persis
tence that hundreds of Portlanders
sought the cool breezes and a swim at
Columbia beach or Windemuth. Those
who did not make the beaches availed
themselves of the various natatori-
ums, clubs and the public schools.
which are being kept open during the
warm weather.
Under the direction of Miss Alice
Lidgate, three afternoons and. even
ings are devoted to swimming at
Couch school and three at Shattuck.
Miss Lldgate has enlisted the help
of several assistants in taking charge
of the crowd of women and children
who have flocked to the tanks for re
lief from the warm weather.
With the losing: of rts three bright
est lights to the Olympic club, the
Oakland Swimming club has gone
down a wreck. George Schroth, one
of the Pacific coast's best middle dis
tance men: Jack Howell, the breast-
stroke swimmer, and Irving Wender,
champion diver, have applied for
membership to the Olympic club or
San Francisco. The transbay club
has made a fight for its existence,
but the loss of its three best point
swimmers seems to fix it's destiny.

NEW YORK, July 17. Sir Thomas
Llpton's Shamrock IV, challenger for
the America's cup, and Resolute, de
fending craft of the New York Yacht
club, were hauled out of the water in
Brooklyn today for measurement In
anticipation of the international races
off Sandy Hook beginning Thursday,
July 15. The yachts are being meas
ured by Professor Harold W. Webb
of Columbia university and a corps
of assistants.
Measuring the cup yachts is a dif
ficult proposition, as the rule this
year requires that the craft be
weighed for displacement. It will
require at least BOO square meas
urements being drawn off on each
craft. At the rate of progress niado
today it is doubtful whether the
work wiil be finished before Sat
urday. It is generally believed that Sham
rock IV is the largest craft and will
have to give at least six minutes to
the American defender.
A look at the two boats as they
were out of the water was an inter
esting study to all interested in naval
architecture. Resolute is decidedly
smaller and has a rgore conventional
nun. tine iooks every men tne mod
ern yacht with absolutely nothing
revolutionary in her lines.
The challenger, looks smoother be
neath her water line than she does
on dck. She is unlike any other
yacht that ever has come after the
cup, and if properly handled she un
doubtedly will be a most dangerous
contender.
When Professor Webb finished his
work today the water line length of
the yachts had been taken off. He
stated that each yacht was under the
75-foot limitation required by the
conditions of the race.

AXDERSO.V AX D HEKJLVX DRAW
BY RUTH STACKER.
FOR the first time in the history of
the Olympic games, women of
America will be represented in the
water sports. Eight years ago
Fanny Durack, Australia's classiest
swimmer and world record holder,
took all honors at the games in
Stockholm, Sweden. This year, Amer
ica should come in for a goodly por
tion of laurel wreaths in the same
events.
Manhattan Beach. New York, will
see in close .competition America's
best swimming women in tryouts
next Saturday afternoon.
Connie Dressier and Thelma Payne
of the Multnomah club will compete
in the diving events against the east
ern girls. Frances Cowells-Schroth
of San Francisco, Helen Moses of
Honolulu and Dode Burns of Loa An
geles will -represent the west against
Charlotte Boyle, Claire Finney, Eileen
Biggins, Gertrude Artelt and others
in the eastern events.
It is nearly certain that the Port
land divers will make the grade.
Thelma Payne has held the national
championships lor three successive
years, and Mrs. Dressier has come
back this year with flying colors.
Eight years ago woman swimmers
in the United States in active com
petition could be numbered on the
fingers of one hand. This year three
elimination eontests have been held
' in order to sift a team down to twelve
swimmers.
At that time all swimminer and div
ing marks were held by Australia.
England and Sweden. Since the de

try, both diving and swimming are
numbered among America's world
- records.

DAVIS TEAM AT EASTBOURAE
American Players Favored to Win
Against French Experts.
EASTBOURNE, England, July 7.
The French and American Davis cup
teams have been in Eastbourne at the
same hotel for the past three days
hoping to get acclimated to the local
conditions. The courts here are much
slower than the center court at Wim
bledon.
The French representatives, Deougis
ana uoDert, tninK this will penalize
both sides equally, as all tennis play
ers like hard ground. Tilden's knee
is almost well and he is confident
that he will stand the strain of the
series without trouble. There is a
general reeling that William At. John
ston. American champion, will recover
his previous form. America's chances
of winning are regarded most favor
ably here.

versus America, the drawings are:
