' SEASOX GOIXG THIS WEEK.
BY IUCK SHARP.
Harry Casey. Dan Salt's slashing
Seattle welterweight, and Willie St.
Clair, clever Sacramento boxer, .will
meet in the eigrht-round seml-windup
of next Wednesday night's card at
the Milwaukie arena. St. Clair af
fixed his signature to a contract yes
terday, while Salt closed for his man
via telegraph, and a contract will be
forwarded to him at once.
Casey and St. Clair fought eight
sizzling rounds over at Vancouver
barracks last month during the Wan
ington state Elks convention, Referee
Jack Day giving Casey the decision,
which met with a storm of disap
proval. The bout was mighty close,
Kt. Clair clearly outboxing Casey, but
being on the receiving end of most
of the hard punches landed during
the match. Casey knocked him down
once, which might have influenced
the referee, but St. Clair hardlV
touched the floor before he was up
and fighting. The battle was replete
with action, and a return go should
be even more so because of St. ('lair's
dissatisfaction over the 'package"
handed him in their laet Wangle,
llloomberjr May Appear.
Only one more detail remains to
be ironed out before the card will
be compl.-te. It has been settled that
Mickey Dempsey, the youngster with
nns j iiciiiuie in tuner milt win uox
in the curtain-raiser, but as yet an
opponent has not been signed with
him. Matchmaker Kendell will have
a talk w ith Sol Bloomberg this morn
ing, and if Sol is in shape and wants
to give away a few pounds in weight
he can have the match.
As announced yeterday, the two six
round specials will see Johnny Fiske
in action against Young Sam Lang
ford and Joe Dunn of Tacoma will
meet Joe lloff of 1'ortland. Hoff will
be remembered as the be-haired bat
tler who put two great fights against
Ted Hoke at the Eleventh-street play
house several years ago. He has been
boxing in various sections of the
northwest and at present is in Wood
burn running a chicken farm. Dunn
has fought all of the good feather
weights around Seattle and Tacoma
and 'is said to be a clever, -willing
mixer.
"We can get just as much money
beating 'dubs' as boxing tough ones."
Raid Manager Jack Kearns when he
was charged with picking a soft one
In Gunboat Smith as Jack Dempsey's
next opponent. "Suppose Dempsey
does beat him In a punch. That's what
the public wants, don't it?" ejaculated
liearns. "Dempsey will give them a
run for thein money so long as he is
ii inn i hi;, v uemer n is one rouna
or ten," added Kearns.
Don't laugh. There are a few left
who still think, Jess Willard has a
chance with Dempsey.
Willard is almost certain to get a
crack at the title he dropped to Demp
ney at Toledo. Those who think Wil
lard has a chance-base their belief on
one punch Willard landed in the third
round of the Toledo battle just before
he went down to defeat.
Willard Humored Ucttlns; Ready.
Beaten apparently to a pulp. Wil
lard threw a long rieht tiDnerent at
Dempsey's chin and for the moment
Jack, by his own admission, didn't
Know where he was. He felt that
his tongue had been glued to the roof
of his mouth and his head pushed out
of shape. Of course it was a dying
effort of big Jess, but it came near
turning the tide of battle.
Dempsey never advertised this,
and there is no reason why he should
have done so, but it's a fact, never
theless. Another thing: They claim con
ceit beat Willard; that Jess boasted
the day before the Toledo battle that
no man had ever knocked him off his
feet, and that Dempsey wasn't going
to accomplish it.
Willard. they claim, has been
training secretly for months, and that
if he ever answers the bell against
Dempsey again ha will be a different
fighter.

Players Hold First Meeting and
Planchedule; Six Teams-Will
Make Cp Circuit.
Local league bowling will be going
full tilt this week. Several organiza
tions have already started their
schedules on the Oregon alleys, and
there are at least a dozen more
leagues that will come into the fold
before October 1.
Fans are anxiously awaiting the
opening of the premier city league
circuit, which should get under way
in about two weeks. The teams of
the city league are composed of all
of the class A bowlers of the city,
who are evenly divided among the
various teams, so that the race for
title is always a close one.
The initial meeting of the league
was held Tuesday night for the pur
pose of electing officers and laying
plans for the coming season. Frank
A: Johnson, who held the office of
vice-president last year, was elected
president. A. V. Anstey was elected
vice-president, "Buck" Elasser secre
tary and Marty Flavin treasurer.
There was considerable discussion
as to whether to make the league a
six or eight team affair. It was de
cided to start the circuit with six
teams and to enlarge to eight teams
larjfer if arrangements for alleys can
be made.
Monday night was selected as the
bowling night for the city leaguers.
The teams which have made applica
tion for entrance into the circuit are
the Board of Trade Barber Shop, cap
tain, Marty Flavin; Hadley & Silver,
M. Wood, captain; Oregon Alleys, T.
River.captain; Blue Diamonds of Hood
River, Elmer House, captain; St. Nich
olas Cafeteria, F. A. Johnson, captain,
and Rialto Billiard Parlora, F. "Bugs"
Raymond, captain. If the league is
enlarged to eight teams the Toke
Point Oyster Grills, captained by Paul
Kineysey, and the Zellerbach Paper
Company, captained by Charles Mon
son, will probably be taken into the
circuit.
All matches In the city league will
be rolled on the Oregon alleys unless
the circuit is enlarged to eight teams,
in which case two teams will have to
roll on the drives of the Multnomah

issued tonight by Hartley Heplogle,
prosecutor in charge of the Investi
gation. Seven Chicago players are Involved,

would make public all information
they had.

American leag-ue, presidents Charles
Comiskey and William Veeck of the

tions this year.

Chicago American players last year
while investigating charges that had
come to his attention but declared

any player.
An armful of reports from private
detectives was given the Jury by
President Veeck. but he declared that
none of it "furnished conclusive
proof against any member of the
Chicago National team. The reports
dealt primarily with charges that the
pnuaaeipnia-cnicago frame of August
13 had been "fixed" for Philadelphia to
win, he said.
Baseball Moguls to Testify.
Other witnesses-were Sam Hall art.l
I. E. Sanborn, baseball writers who
were questioned largely as to how
many players on a team would have to
be fixed in order to assure victory

thought two men could insure a- de
feat of their team under ordinary cir
currfstances.
Subpenas were issued tonight for
John X McGraw, manager of the New

game August 31; John O. Seys, secre

America today stands aa the champion

Writers on boxing are prone to uphold
the sport as a manly and beneficial one.
and to decry- those persons who set forth
the argument that it is brutal and de
moralizing. Is it any wonder that this
opinion exists with a certain proportion
of te public when one reads some of the
stuff these selfsame boxing writers turn
out? Hera are some sample excerpts of
2
lurid piffle turned out on tne Dempsey
Miske affair:
"How any human being coul. take a
wallop like that and still be amcng the liv
ing is beyond the comprehension of many
ring followers. . . . Personally, I never
want again to see depicted such suffering
and agony on a courageous man's face.
And remember this prediction
some day somebody 1 going to be in the
path of one of those punches, and a white
collar will he wear ever after- . . .
We heard a piercing scream and turned to
see a woman fainting In the arms of her
two lady friends. It was Mrs. Miske."
Any newspaper that employs an emo
tional guy like that ought to keep him
away from boxing bouts and confine his
activities to chess or the reporting of some
other mild sport which won't wear so on
his nerves.
Lester Smith, the 16-year-old swimmer,
