OLD SAM WORD
MEETS HIS MATCH
Shifty Cafifornia Black De
feats Him in 10 Rounds.
TAR BABY BATTERED UP
Great Crowd Sees Anderson Win
1'roin. One-Time Star of Them
All Other Bouts Good.
BY DICK SHARP.
Bam Langford, peer of the best of
negro heavy- eight boxers for years
and one of the greatest battlers that
ever drew on a padded glove, met his
master last night In Lee Anderson,
' negro 170-pounder of San Francisco,
In the 10-round main event at the
Helllg theater. Referee Grover Fran
els', decision met the approval of the
packed house, Including the veteran
Boston tar baby himself. Sam tipped
the beam around 200 pounds.
Anderson lived up to advance no
tices and put on a masterly exhibi
tion. He had Langford figured at
every angle. From the first round tc
the final canto he was on safe ground
and kept pounding away with both
hands. He hit Langford on the side of
the head, on the chin. In the solar
plexus, slammed him on the short
ribs and socked him over the heart.
Of course while Lee -was slugging,
tugging, pulling and slamming away,
Langford was not idle. Sam kept his
hands moving every minute and dealt
out unmeroiful punishment to Ander
son's body. But ho couldn't plant a
solid enough smack to the San Fran
cisco boy's chin to slow him up. At
times it looked as though Langford
would wear Anderson down with
ripping punches to the stomach and
ribs.
Andrraon Showy n the Ropci.
Anderson stttped out confidently
In the first round and won a shade.
He landed with right and left swings
and caught Sam once with a back
hand wallop that he used frequently
through the fight.
One of Lansford's body blows must
have caught Lee at the start of the
second, as he slowed up and boxed
cautiously. Langford earned the
. round.
Anderson brought the fans to their
feet In the third round when he
opened up on Sam, swinging both
hand and lati'ding. I.ee used the
rope trifk. grabbing the top strand.)
venting i'uiii aiue i Mue ana enuing
the play with either a right or left
swing to l.angford's face. Three right
crosses caught Langford clean.
Anderson continued trying to get
at Sam in the fourth, but found it
hard to batter down his opponent's
defense. Langford landed with sev-
eral left hooks and a right cross, but
did not hurt Anderson at least, not
isibly.
Langford brought a right to the
stomach into the fore in the fifth
round and came nearest In that stanza
to making Anderson back water. Two
rips to the body brought Anderson to
a to(; for a minute and caused him
to hang on. Langford's round.
Poor. Old Sam SlovrH I'p.
The sixth was even. Anderson
claimed that Langford hit him low,
but continued fighting. He stepped
around and contented himself by out
boxing Langford at long range.
Anderson landed most punches in
the seventh, but Langford's straight
left began to catch him and evened
the round. j
Anderson opened a cut over Lang
fords left eye in the eighth round.
From then on old Sam was practically
blinded by the stream of claret in the
left optic. Anderson followed up his
advantage and banged away with both
hands. Ho staggered Langford to the
ropes.
With the fight drifting fast his way.
Anderson began to box in the ninth
round. He jabbf-l continually with a
straight left and a shifting left hook
to Langford's stomach. Sam caught
Anderson with a left hook to the stom
ach that came near lifting. Lee off
his feet, but he came back strong.
The tenth was all Anderson's. The
match ended with the men battling
In the renter of the ring.
The big kick of the evening, barring
the greut main event, came in the
first bout on the card when George

lilrdie Tnltlerrd for Him.
The two wmlked to the center of the
ring, shook hands and before the sec
onds had the chairs out of the ring
Woods was lying stretched on the
floor listening to the birdies. A vicious
loft hook, almost from the floor, re
corded one of the quickest knockouts
on record. From the time the two
shook hands until Wood's seconds be
gan to lift him from the floor was
only "0 sccouds.
Al lirunan. clever Los Angeles
lightweight, and Weldon Wing, fast
l'ortland scrapper, fought a clever
eight-round draw in the semi-windup.
It was another of those mills where
two clever boxers try to put up a
fight. It Is almost an imnossihle
thing but both tried hard. Many of
the fans thought Grunan should have
had the decision. I'it either of the
two against a fighter and a good
fight would be the result.
Baby ltlur'n Klatht.
Referee Francis stopped the sched
uled six-round match between Kddie
Gorman of Oakland, featherweight,
and George Brandon of Portland, in
the fifth round, friving it to Gorman.
It was a good fight with Brandon
taking a shade the first three rounds.
. but he was not in condition to stand
the gaff. He was still fighting when
Francis stopped the mill and could
, probably have gone the distance, but
was a mighty tired youngster.
Baby Blue. Sacramento 120-pounder,
won a six-round decision over Atlie
Taylor. Bend bantamweight. The
fight was a hummer from gong to
gong. The fans booed Referee
Francis, but if ever a boy won a start
it w as Blue last night. He was too
heavy, too tough and too experienced
for Taylor.
South Africa Tennis Poncr.
South Africa will have to be reck

M'CREDIE OFFERS DRASTIC
BILL TO CLEAN BASEBALL
Plenty of Teeth Put in Proposed Measure Which Will Be Submitted to
Legislatures of All Pacific Coast States.
BY L. H. GREGORY.
NOW comes Judge W. "W. Mc
Credie, owner of the Portland
Beavers, with a completed
draft of the first measure ever- pre
pared anywhere, so far as deponent
knoweth, to make "throwing" of
baseball games a felony. The judge
finished drawing' up his measure yes
terday. He will have it introduced in
the Oregon legislature this winter,
and next week will take several
copies along with him to the Pacific
coast league directors' meeting in
San Francisco, October 26.
If the directors approve it, and no
doubt they will, for it has teeth
enough to frighten a submarine, let
alone a poor, simple-minded ball
player, the judge's bill will be pre
sented in every Pacific coast legis
lature. It may go even further afield
than that. Since the Chicago grand
jury broke open the scandal In big
league baseball, just about every
state of the union is ripe for a law of
this kind.
The judge has loaded his bill for
big game. He doesn't confine it to
tempted ballplayers alone. There
is a fine, fat paragraph for the bene
fit of the gambleis and, fixers. This
paragraph provides a little matter of
five years In the penitentiary, or
$5000 fine, or both, for any person
"who gives, or offers, or attempts to
give, any money, thing of value, or
consideration of any nature what
ever," to any ballplayer with the in
tention - of having him "throw" the
game by direct action or indifferent
playing.
feallplmyers Face Penalty.
The same penalty is provided for
the ballplayer accepting money or
other consideration to toss away a
game. Neither has the judge forgot
ten his loving friends, the umpires.
Any person who bribes, or attempts
to bribe and umpire is in for the same
five-year imprisonment or $5000 fine,
or both.
There is no clause in the bill pro
viding punishment for the umpire
himself, however. Probably the judge
figures that the fans will take care
of the umpire and besides, no um
pire ever had $5000 at one time in his
life.
Here follows the judge's bill in full:
(Caption to be as required by the laws
of he state.
Section 1. Whoever ffive or offers, or
attorrkpes to give, any money, thing of
value, or consideration of any nature what
ever, to any participant in a basetoall same,
with the intention that such participant
shall not use his best efforts to win such
?ame. or so conduct himself in such game
that the opposing team shall win. thai!
be deemed guilty of a feiony, and shall
Ijfi punished by imprisonment in the peni
tentiary tor a period of not exceeding five
(5) years, or by a fine or not more than
five thousand dollars l$50OO.i, or by both
such fine and imprisonment.
Section 2. "Whoever accepts, or offers or
attempts to accept any money, thing of
value, or consideration of any nature what
ever, with the intention that he will not
use his bejot efforts .to win a baseball
game in which he is to participate, or to
so conduct himself in such game that the
opposing team shall win, shaH be deemed
guilty of a felony, and shall be nuni.ihfd
by imprisonment in the penitentiary for
a period of not exceeding five (5) years,
or by a fine not exceeding five thousand
dollars jo00), or by both such fine and
imprisonment.
Section 3. Whoever gives, or offers or
attempts to give to any person any money
thing of value, or consideration of an-
nature whatever, to any cLher person who
is umpiring or aoout to umpire any base
ball game, with the intention that such
person shall umpire unfairly orln a man
ner not according to the rules of base.bajl
or render any decision in such game which
does not conform to the rulz r Ka.aV.ai
shall be deerrfed guilty of a felonv. a.nd
shall be puni.shed by imprisonment In the
penitentiary for a period of not exceeding
five (5) years, or by a fine not exceeding
live tnousana aonars is.hkjoj. or by botb
such line ana imprisonment.
The judge says there is no Ques
tion mat sucn a law win stlcK In any
court of the land. And he ought to
Know. lor he used to be judge of the
superior court at Vancouver. Wash.
Incidentally, the judge was somewhat
of a bolshevist for those days. While
he was on the bench the Washington
legislature passed a law requiring all
superior judges to wear judicia
robes. The judge opined that he
uoulil hold down the bench and hand
down opinions a heap sight better in
his street clothes than dolled up in
a stuffy gown. He never did wear
the robe.
The Aggies will leave Corvallis a.t
5:05 o'clock tonight and are due to
reach Portland, en route for Seattle,
at 8:15. They will stay at the Mult
nomah hotel until 11 o'clock, when
they take the train for Seattle. The
Aggies are not claiming a victory over
Washington, but they do assert that
the northerners will have to. play like
wildcats to beat them. O. A. C has
developed a strong defense. What its
offense will be in a big game remains
to be seen.

got through the Multnomah tangle
last week In good shape, except for
Rose, at end. Rose had been knocked
cuckoo in practice a couple of weeks
previously, and got another bad bump
on the same spot against Multnomah.
He was a sick bo.y after the game,
and his playing against the clubmen
was affected by his injury, although
he made somenice tackles. He is all

m m
All kinds of wild stuff Is percolat
ing through the Idaho censorship as
to the prowess of the University of
Idaho team that plays University of
Oregon at Eugene Saturday, and the
methods of Tom Kelley, the new
Idaho coach. Kelley, by the way, is
reputed to spell his name with an "e,"
which at least has the boys guessing
over his political .affiliations. If half
the tales trickling through are so, he
must be quite a unique bird. Any
way, he evidently has something as a
coach, for Idaho never was doped to
hold the strong Washington State
team to a 14-to-7 score last week.
He may spring something equally un
expected against Oregon. Listen to
this one from the Idaho camp:
"Indian war dances are used by
Coach Thomas Kelly as part of the
work of training the University of
Idaho squad at Moscow. Kelley says
the dances are fine for developing the
legs. In the dance the squad forms
two long lines and the men extend
their arms to full length. The coach
gives the command and the men jig.
lifting their knees high and plowing
up the soil with their cleated snoes.
Kellev. a former Chicago star, is put
ting his men through 40 minutes' fast
work every day.
.
Whatever the effectiveness of thla
war dance in 'developing his players'
legs, if Kelley wants it to produce
scores for him, too, he ought to arm
hi-s interference with tomahawks.
They are still talking In the east
over Stanley Coveleskie's feat in win
ning three world's series game. An
alysis of his work only eerves to em
phasize its brilliance. In the three
games Coveleskie hurled the ball 26
times, which Is an average of 87
pitches to the game. In the first game
he shot the sphere plateward 85 times,
In the second 86 times and in the third
and deciding one 90 i times. In his
three games he allowed just two runs
and 15 hits and gave only two bases
on balls. That is pitching.
William B. Hanna. the veteran
sports editor of the New York Herald,
has the following interesting com
ment on two of the men seriously
mentioned for places on the civilian
commission that would rule baseball
under the Lasker plan:
"Of the various names suggested
a,3 worthy a place on the proposed
board to govern baseball, none is
more worth the serious considera
tion of the magnates than that of
Walter Carter, lawyer, fighter, ardent
lover of the game and old Yale
pitcher. W'e have heard of the need
of practical baseball men to taki
charge of the affairs of the game.
"There are practical men and prac
tical men. Practical men have not
prevented baseball from getting .into
a pretty mess. A little more ideal
ism and a little less practicality
might not come amiss just now.
Carter is both practical and an ideal
ist. He knows the playing eide of the
game as well as anybody living; he
is a lawyer with long experience In
big administrative matters; he is a
live, energetic citizen, upright and
aggressive. The writer also has
great respect for the ability and
probity of John Conway Toole as
qualified for one of the men of the
hour in baseball. There are. of course,
others, and a man of nation-wide
standing would fit in well."
Abe Attell. safely perched in Mon
treal. sa.v he will stay there for life.
He forgets the Underwood tariff law.
The first fine morning some Mon
trealan finds something under his
pillow, Canada will dump him back
into the Lnited States In a sack of
duty-free wheat. And speaking of
life, a bird of Attell's stripe really
should enjoy himself most in a quiet
nook like Sing Sing.

only to have referee Ted Whitman

with Storey and gave the latter a
boxing lesson. The second round was
a repetition of the first, only Alex
knocked Jimmy down for extra
measure.
In the third round Storey caught
AJex fiush with a haymaker and
Trambitas went down. He was hurt.

near out of commission. He finished
the round in good .shape and came
out in the fourth canto and handed

had been "robbed and all of the Se

Benson Tech uncovered unexpected
driving power lu yesterday's game
with James John on Multnomah field,
piling up a 34-to-u score against the
double-J squad. Straight line plungis
through tackle, with an occasional
end run., were the chief offensive
tactics used by the Mechanics and 't
was seldom that this method failed
to gain yardage. y
The line-smashing sains of the Bon
son team were made possible through
the work of the Mechanics' lineiaen,
who worked together in fine style,
ripping huge holes in the double-J
eleven's first line of defense.
Benson scored twice in the first
period. Fullback Cover taking the
bsll over on a 20-yard run around left
end. Right Half Maloncy crossed the
goal a few minutes later on an off-tai-kle
buck. Captain Colt converted
both goal kicks.
James John Pats I p Great Flsht.
James John put up a great fiht
within the shadows of its own goal
posts just after the start of the s-c-ot.d
period, wnen the double-J line
held on its own one-yard lino fur
four downs. On an exchange of punts,
hewever, the Jaaje John satety
drooped the -ball and Fullback Cover
of Benson aga'n came into promi
nence by plunginu; through for an
other score. Captiin Celt kicked go-il.
Benson scored twice in the .hi?'a
quarter, but Jam-?s Jonc held th- Me
chanics even in the last period, quar
terback Peters carried the ball over
for the first touchdown of the recond
half. The attempt at goal kick railed.
Barber Races for Touchdown.
Right End Barber figured promi
nently in the final touchdown of tho
game when he scooped up a fumble
and raced 40 yards to the goal. Cap
tain Colt added another point by kick
ing goal.
On the Benson line there were no
individual stars, for the entiri line
squad worked in harmony. The chiof
ground-gainers of the Mechanics'
backfieUi were Cover and Maloney.
The playing of the losing team was
featured by the work of Wagner and
Ermler. the two ends, who got down
on punts in fine style and proved
I strong on the defense.

PEXDLETOX HIGH TKA1XIXG
Promising Eleven Will Do Battle
i
With Hood River High Squad. .
PENDLETON, Or., Oct. 20. (Spe
cial.) Pendleton high school football
team is going through a siege of
hard training in preparation for the
next game of the schedule, which
will be played here with the Hood
River high school eleven Friday aft
ernoon. Interest In this contest Is height
ened by the fact that the Hood River
siuad is being coached this year by
Earl Fleischman. former local high
school mentor, and that it will be the
first big game- of the season for the
local gridsters.
fao far there is little comparative
dope available which would give an
Inkling as to the possible outcome of
Friday's battle. The local team put
up a game fight against the heavy
team representing Touchet. Wash.,
here last Thursday, running up a
score of 29 to 0 in the first quarter.
Following the first period three first
string backfield men were injured,
but despite this handicap Coach Han
ley's second-team men surprised local
fans by forging ahead and chalking
up a score of 41 to 0.
Hood River lost its first game of
the season last Friday, when the
speedy The Dalles machine quit the
final quarter on the long end of a
14-to-7 score. Considering the fact
that The Dalles team is probably one
of the best in eastern Oregon, this
score augurs well for Fleischman's
chances against the local organizar
tion.

two weeks' rest in store for them
prior to the next collegiate struggle,
the Cougars today resumed their
workouts and tonight the second
stringers battled the strong frosh
eleven in a half hour of scrimmage.
With the exception of Moe Sax. who is
out with a weak back, the Cougars
suffered no pnysical injuries in the
Idaho fray and began working out
a defense to meet the Minnesota
shift formation employed by the
Montana Grizzlies in . their victory
over the University ot Washington
Saturday.
That Coach Welch is not underes
timating the strength of the Montana
eleven is evident from tjje talk lie

Keeping men's
feet
Men of all occupations, from those in offices to
those in logging camps, are coming to know the
dollar-and-cents. value of dry feet. They are
demanding not only that their shoes look well,
wear long, fit comfortably and be priced econom
ically but they are insisting also that the shoes
they wear keep their feet dry in all sorts of
weather. They are demanding that their shoes
protect them from the discomfort and ill health
that invariably originates in wet feet.
Shoes that combine all these qualities good
style, long wear, footcomfort, economical price
and weather protection are the WASHING
TON DRY SOX shoes. Some idea of the high
quality materials and thorough construction that
enters into the Washington Dry Sox Shoes can
be gained from the cut-away diagram.
