FISKE TO FIGHT SPECIAL
Milwaukie Management Fixing
Card for Tliclr Arena on Acxt
Wednesday Xight.
BY DICK SHARP.
Harvey Thorpe, rugged Kansas
City welterweight, left his home town
last night for Portland and should be
here ready to workout at the Olympic
gymnasium by Thursday afternoon,
in preparation for his ten found go
against Alex Trambitas at the Mil
waukie arena next Wednesday night.
Alex Trambitas is devoting most of
his time these days in getting in as
much road work, as the weather will
permit him. He will not start work
ing in the gymnasium until tomorrow
afternoon when he will settle dn to
a stiff daily grind with three or four
sparring partners to toughen up for
Thorpe, who is coming out to the coast
with the reputation of being on of
the best boys at his weight in the
country.
Jack Reddy, St. Paul boxing pro
motor, who is here looking after the
interests of Johnny Tillman, has seen
Thorpe fight a number of times "ana
says that the Kansas City boy is 'a
flashy mixer and a glutton for( pun
ishment. Tillman has never met
Thorpe although they were matched
to tangle in the squared circle some
time ago. Thorpe was forced to call
the match off because of illness.
.Keddy is certain that Thorpe will
make good here whether he wins or
loj.es being the kind of a scrapper
that fights his y into the hearts
of the fans. Trambitas has gained
a lot of confidence ince his showing
with Tillman and will go right in af
ter Thorpe, according to Jack Fahie.
Tno Special' Arranged.
Matchmaker Frank Kendall signed
hoth of his six-round special events
yesterday afternoon. Johnny Kiske,
Hock Island ISO pounder, who has
adopted Portland as his home and
hereafter will be known as a Port
land boxer, will meet Young Sam
l.angford. the San Francisco colored
boy in the topline six-round special
while Joe Dunn of Tacoma, feather
weight, will meet Joe lloff of Port
land in the other six-round mill.
Mti'key Dempsey will again , box
the curtain raiser, hie opponent yet
to be selected.
The eight-round semi-wlndup of
next Wednesday night's card is yet
to be arranged and will likely be an
nounced today. Hatchmaker Kendall
is dickering with two boys who will
put up a real fight.
mm
Andre Anderson, the big Chicago
heavyweight will mingle with Frank
Farmer over the six-round route in
Tacoma tonight. Andre Is in great
shape and if he has any heart at all
should step in and polish Farmer off.
The Tacoma light-heavyweight packs
a lusty wallop, but with such an ad
vantage in height, weight, reach and
boxing ability Anderson should knock
him off.
Opponents of Jack Dempsey should
form a union. Gunboat Smith was to
get only. 110,000, Mike got 23,000.

The third annual Pacific coast
field trials opened on the Lebanon
course today with a fine etrlng of
dogs from all parts of the coast.
The fields are in better condition
for the runs than at either of the
previous trials held here in that there
is a good stubble this year for cover
for the birds and the recent rains
have settled the dust which is a
great aid to the dogs to do their best
work.
The farmers who a few years ago
were reluctant to allow a big bunch
of dogs and a crowd of people going
over their farm have become used to
the meets and have seen the good ad
vertising done for the community,
now welcome them to their places,
and even go out with the sportsmen
and see the dogs fun. .

are given' over to the California field
trial men for their trials, and to

will bo followed by the California
all-sges runs.

pearance in fast company. Friday will

closing of the meeting with free-for-all-dogs
to enter the races for the all-
age Oregon purses.
