Local Sportsmen Expect Celebrated Expert to Make This City Center of Scatter Gun Tourneys. O. N. Ford, one of the best-known trapshooters in the world, has been signed to manage the Portland Gun club, beginning the first of the year. Ford's home is in California and he put the Olympic club on the map as far as trapshooting is concerned. Several years ago the famous San Francisco institution decided to add trapshooting to its programme of club sports and built one of the finest shooting grounds in the country at Lakeside. At that time Ford was running the San Jose Gun club and was engaged to look after the Olym pic club's plant. In a short time he built up the scatter-gun department of the club to one of those recognized as chief in the United States. He staged what was termed a world's championship event in San Francisco last year over the Lakeside traps and has held many other big and success ful events since taking cnarge. C. B. Preston, newly-elected presi dent of the Portland Gun club, thinks the local organization made a ten- strike by signing up Ford to take charge here and make Portland one of the scatter-gun centers of the coun try. Several previous attempts have been made to get the well-known trapHhooter to move to Portland, but not until several days ago was the ob ject accomplished. The gun club resumed its regular . Wednesday practice shoots yesterday, when a handful of scatter-gun artists braved the cold and strong wind for a try at the blue rocks. C. B. Preston and J. W. McCormick tied for high honors with 47 out of 50 targets. L. Cook, professional, was second with 46. J. C. Braly brought down 38 of the blue rocks. In a 25-bird event IL B. Newland broke 24 targets, while P. J. Holahan smashed it SCHOOL SPORT DEFICIT $6343 Baseball and Football Are Only Games Which Show Prorit. CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Dec. 15.

(Special.) ew York city sporting writers, commenting on the Dempsey-Brennan battle here last night, which was won by the cham pion in the 12th round by a knock oat, say: Vincent Treanor (Evening World) Fighting only in spots, principally from the fifth round on.

Their - expectations man flat on the floor for the count and then some. It was more of 'what mignt be regarded as cavemannlsh. However, it retained the champion ship for Dempsey and that's all that is necessary. It lacked everything of the sensational. The fight proved that either Dempsey isn't as good as he was, or wanted to show that he can go the route if necessary. Any how, Brennan proved a big surprise. Hugn S. Fullerton (Evening Mail) Jack Dempsey knocked out Bill Bren nan of Chicago in 12 rounds of as sorry fighting as a champion is li censed to reveal. His New York debut pleased the throng that jammed the garden, but If New York Judges the champion by his initial perform ance it will never again believe the experts who have been hailing him as the champion of all time. It took Dempsed 11 rounds and 1 minute and 57 seconds to dispose of Brennan, known to be a rugged and willing low-class second-rater, ani for eight rounds, the decision, had it. been given then, the Chicago laa would have earned on points. Not intil the eighth round did Dempsey eem to cut loose with fuH driving power behind his blows and even the he did small damage. Dan Lyons, Evening Globe. The first real championship heavyweight bout staged here n more than 20 years that between Jack Dempsey, the titleholder, and Bill Brennan, his challenger has been fought. But while Dempsey won, and by a knockout, too, he did not cover him self with glory while accomplishing the feat. To the contrary, he lost much prestige and left the ring amid the hoots and Jeers of the spectators. Dempsey's performance was far be low the standard expected of a cham pion; particularly one who had been so highly rated. Indeed, it would have discredited a "white hope" of the Jack I were unreasonable. For in the fero clous fine art of the ring, as in every other human pursuit, men may show enough superiority over their fellow men to become champions, but the best man will never be so superior to a good man as to be able to demon strate his superiority without either taking trouble or taking dangerous chances, So there was nothing spectacular aDout .Dempsey's mastering of Bren' nan. He may have heard of super men, but he knew very well that there were no such thines as suner jaws or super-solar plexus, and so he took none of the risks necessary to achieve a sensational triumph. He knew that "class" takes time to dem onstrate itself, and he allowed him self enough rounds to "outclass" Brennan in a severely practical way, New York Tribune (Editorial com ment.) There is no evidence that Jack Dempsey, the heavyweight champion of the ring, did not do his best to beat bit,' Bill Brennan In the four rounds his admirers set as the limit of the bout at Madison Square garden Tuesday night. Yet,Jhe did not dispose of Brennan until the 12th. That this showing on Dempsey's part was discouraging to those who have consistently maintained that he could take care of Carpentier as easily as he put Willard out. is undeniable. Many ring followers who were deeply impressed by Dempsey's showing up to the time of his meeting with Bren nan have revised: their opinions as to his present capacity. What Dempsey did this week in New York was not what was expected of him. The outstanding feature of the Madison Square contest was that Dempsey did not put his man out as easily or as quickly as was expected and the consequence of this will be a greater Interest than might otherwise have been aroused in his next bout. fifth, eighth and tenth rounds. Frush dropped his opponent for a count ot ine in the first round and bad the better of three others. CHAMPIOX TO DEFEXD TITLE Benny Leonard Matched to Fight Ritchie Mitchell. NEW YORK, Dec. 15.

The Osaka Asahl Shlmbnn says that disarmament discussions are useless wmle tne united states ana uermany remain outside the league of nations Japan, the newspaper declares, con stantly is menaced by America's naval expansion and, - being deficient in technique and material for warships, Japan should concentrate on subma rines and aircraft. - LAW ADVISERS; GATHER Assessors' Committee Frames Pro posed X ew Measures.
