THE 3IORXIXG OREGOXIAX, SATURDAY, DECEMBER It 1920 IS FIGHT DATES CAUSE OFFICIALS TO WORRY Two Programmes Announced for January 1. DEFINITE SPLIT POSSIBLE Each of Rival Managers Wants to Stage Show on Sew Year's as Matter of Right. BY DICK SHARP. Just -when the boxing game is b ingT torn from stem to stern, a threats ened war looms on the horizon in our own bailiwick. The sum and substance of the mat ter is that both the- Portland and Milwaukie boxing commissions have . announced that they will stage cards cn New Year's day. which falls on a Saturday. Matchmaker Evans broke into print several days ago with, the tact that he would stage an all-star card et the Armory January 1. Yesterday Matchmaker Kendall of the MUwau kie arena stated that he had signed Jack Britton, welterweight champion of the world, to meet Johnny Mc Carthy the first day of 1921. Clashing dates have loomed before, but the trouble up to date has always been ironed out before things had gone very far. A month or so ago the Portland and Milwaukie boxing officials had a joint meeting and agreed to work in harmony, agreeing that it was the only way in which the fistic game could hope to continue here, legal or not legal. Since that meeting everything has been running along smoothly with the two commission's taking dates in rotation, usually showing on a Wed nesday night, the day agreed upon as the most suitable to stage cards. Now the New Years proposition is up. Last year when the Milwaukie commission held its New Years card it billed it as the first "annual" show on that date. Matchmake Kendall and Manager Moore have been plan ning on the date all year and work ing for something as big as Britton. Milwaukie officials have no objec tions to the Portland commission holding a card on December 29. its regular date, which would be three days prior to the New Years show nor do they care about the quality or tne card figuring that Britton and Mc Carthy would draw a good share of the money even if held three days after a card in Portland. The trouble. which may not turn out to be much of a squabble at ail, will be straight ened out today to the satisfaction of one of the two commissions. Evans has signed Bob Devere, Chi cago heavyweight, and Eddie Mc Goorty, the Oshkosh middleweight, to box here New Years, and also planned on using either Charley White or George K. O. Brown on the bill. De vere is to box Sam Langford. Mc Goorty, the best middleweight ob tainable. If White Is obtained he will be pitted against Harry Schuman. Someone will have to back down as to stage two cards on the same day would be folly. It has also been announced that starting the first of tie year the stage a card every week at the Armory. Two of the shows will be big time events, featuring ten round bouts. The other two will be popular-price cards, with a limit of four or six rounds in the main event, with seven matches on the card. . . mm In the meantime a well-balanoed card is slated for the Heilig theater next Wednesday night. Joe Gorman has taken his match with Al Grunanto heart and is work ing like a demon in the gymnasium. Both boys-are out on the road every morning bright and early. Crunan is getting some goqd work outs daily, boxing with Joe Egan, the Boston middleweight. Egan and Grunan step in like a couple of hun gry wildcats. Earl Ritchie, the Klamath Falls heavyweight, is peeved over the dec laration to the effect that he was a set-up for Tiny Herman. Ritchev fig ures that he is a cinch to beat Tiny. Ritchie was not stopped by Wild Bill Reed. He broke his hand in the ninth round and was forced to call it quits. Up to that time he had been leading by a good margin. Ritchie has been boxing for three or four years. Gorman is working with Freddie Lough, George"- Eagels, Harry Schu man and his brother Eddie Gorman. It seems that the Joe Egan Johnny Celmars fight will not come off until next Thursday night in Ta coma. They are slated to go six rounds. Frankie Jones, the San Francisco welterweight who lost a decision to Frankie Murphy at the Milwaukie arena several months ago, is making good in tne east. He beat Johnny Wol gast, a big middleweight, in his start the other night. Wolgast is a brother of Ad Wolgast, and flight around Seattle several years ago. Johnny was stationed at the Bremerton navy yard, serving in that branch of the service during the war. Biddy Bishop is managing Jones. The rumor is going the rounds that Joe Benjamin has spilt with Billy Gibson. Joe is now in San Francisco and the dope is substantiated by the following statement in a San Fran cisco newspaper several days ago, "Billy Gibson is no longer my man ager," said Benjamin. "Gibson and I will continue to be Juwt as good friends as we ever were. There is no trouble between us. But Gibson must devote so much qJJ his time and thought to Benny Leonard that he has not the time to give me. "I should have had several big matches at Madison Square Garden which I didn't get. I was entitled to them just as much as was Joe Well ing, who did get them." . Ovie of the habitues at a local gym nasium asked Sam Langford the other day if he was ever really hurt while fighting. ' "Yes, sah," said Sam. "Yes, sah! When Ah was fightin' Harry Wills down in Los Angeles he-' saps me on the haid and down Ah goes.. "Ah gets up and starts fighting again, and bang! he cluts me and down Ah goes once more." "When Ah gets up he saps me again and once moah Ah hits the'-floah; seven times Ah goes down altogether, and the last time Ah looks up and Ah was shuah hurt at the way Harry was so surprised and discouraged be cause Ah didn't stay down. "Yes, sah. Ah suah was hurt." Benefit Soccer Game Set. VANCOUVER. Wash.. Dec. 10. (Special.) The soccer teams of the G. M.

Wrestling gained considerable ground along the road' to a comeback as a result of the card of grappling bouts staged last night in the re vival at the armory. Ted Thye, who has a better claim to the middleweight title, than any other- wrestler' in the country, strengthened his hold on the crown by taking two straight falls from Guy Raymond, claimant of the Cana dian title In the same aivision. Considering the inclement weather and the fact that last n'ght's card was more or less of an experiment, wrestling fans turned out in fairly representative numbers. Those who braved the wind) and rain saw plenty of action. Thye Proves Superior. Raymond might just .s well have tried to roll the courthouse over on its back, as to tackle Thye. It can't be said that the Canadian champion didn't try or that he didn't put up a wonderful showing, but Thye proved himself superior In all the angles of the game. Thye took, the first fall after 45 minutes of wrestling In which Ray mond tried out all the holds In the book on his opponent without result except to tire himself considerably. Thye then pinned Raymond to the mat for the first fall with a head scis sors and wristlock. The wrlstlock is Thye'a strongest point and when he clamped it on Raymond, it was cur tains for the Canadian champ. Prior to the first fall, Tyhe caught Raymond with a head scissors several times, but the latter managed to squirm out. Raymond was working hard and trying everytning ne naa on the locs.l grappler. but Thye took things easy and awaited his oppor tunity. The second fall came after the men had been on the mat 19 minutes. Thye got an arm scissors and a bar arm hold on his opponent for the se'eond fall. Thye was in danger' once before the second fall when Raymond put a body scissors on him, but the local mat man showed his superior strength by giving a mighty heave and break ing the hold. Thye worked harder and faster for the second fall than he did" for the first and twice had Raymond practically pinned to the mat. Each time, howeyer, the wrest lers were on the edge of the mat and Thye was forced to break his holds and go back to the center of the ring. O'Connor Shows McClain. A. E. McClain may be Intercol legiate champion of the - northwest, but he was no match for Jean O'Con nor, a heavyweight from Vancouver, B. C. O'Connor toyed with the Eu gene pride for several minutes and gave an exhibition of all the well known holds before he tied him in a knot and rolled him on his should ers. It was a one-fall match. O'Con nor took Just 13 minutes to get his head scissors and arm bar on Mc Clain. In the first preliminary bout Ba santa Singh, Hindu champion in the welterweight division, proved too much for John Vidahof, who fell vic tim to a head scissors and arm ba after 23 minutes of strenuous wres tling. Before the main event usual chal lenges were announced by Clay Hite in a gorgeous baritone voice. One of the defies was hurled by a grappler with a neat brace of cauliflower ears who said his first name was Elijah and who averred his willingness to meet any 158-pounder in the world. Basanta Singh promptly climbed through the ropes and accepted the challenge. Ray Lescher, wrestling instructor of the Y. M. C. A., refereed the bouts, with Ed Gloss handling the watch.
