BT DICK SHARP. If the boxers run true to form tba fans should witness three gruelling mills at the Milwaukie arena tomor row night. Believing- that the boxing followers like the long distance scraps. Frank Kendall, matchmaker, signed up three ten-canto battles. Joo Benjamin and Harry Schuman top-line the show. Frankie Murphy and Lloyd Madden will step ten rounds in the semi-final, while Har lan Bunker and Ole Anderson clash In the third ten-round go. The Benjamin-tjchuman match has been in the offing for six months or more. Ever since Schuman stepped in and took Benjamin's place against jonnny bheppard, and handed the latter a lacing, the fans .have been clamorig for a match between Harry and Joe. Feeling between the two never has been the best, and right now they are at dagger-points. If Schuman beats Benjamin he will leave for the east. If Joe beats Schu man he may stick a while or return to his home at Stockton, Cal., for New Year's day. Both principals brought their train ing routine to a conclusion yesterday afternon, Benjamin at the Olympic gymnasium and Schuman at the Lon don club. Joe has been working with Frankie Murphy and Alex Tram bitas and is down to 134 pounds. Eddie Marino is again conditioning Schuman and reports Harry to be in great shape, : and says that he will not have any trouble weighing in at 149 pounds, the agreed weight he was to make at ringeide for Ben jamin and which he has 500 posted that he mil do. Madden will arrive from Seattle today, accompanied by Dan Salt. Murphy Is in as good shape this time as ne was for his recent encounter with Madden, which was some shape. Ole Anderson, the Tacoma heavy weignt. also will put Jn pis appear ance here today,, and, according to word from the City of Destiny, he is primed for a ferocious battle against Harlan Bunker. Every time ."Babe" Ruth fanned last season the crowd let out a groan. and if it didn't talk right out in the meeting it was saying under its breath, "i'ou big bum " Every time the mighty slugger got a homer, the same crowd cheered him to the echo. It's the same with Jack Dempsey. He "fanned" the other night against Bill Brennan and the same public that lauded the champion as a super man let out a groan that could be condensed to the same .thing; "You biff bum." Hero worship is all right for the hero worshipers. . .They make their own laws. And, like one's relatives, you have to try to get along with them, but; Having seen the champion topple Fulton, I-evinsky and Miske in a comparative flash, wasn't the public expecting considerable of Dempsey the night he fought Brennan? The sporting fans have been fed up on .Dempsey s sensationalism. It had seen the title-holder mow through his challengers in a fashion not credited to the old echool of champions. It not only expected dempsey to be a champion in name, but in speedy ring deeds. When Brennan didn't fall within the allotted three rounds there was an arching of $xpert eye brows. Dempsey was slipping, they said. But is he? Billy Wright, the clever Seattle welterweight, and Joe Simonich, the Butte, Mont., welterweight, will meet in the main event of the December 30 boxing card in Tacoma. They are slated to travel six rounds. - p Jim Berry, husky California heavy weight, residing at Petaluma, under the guidance of "Fighting Billy" Murray, former contender for the world's middleweight crown, will be Sam Langford's opponent here on December 29. Matchmaker Evans closed for Barry's services with Mur Tiy yesterday. ' Murray's protege has two decisions to his credit over Lee Anderson, the colored boxer, who beat Langford here ecently In one bout Barry made Anderson jump out of the ring. ' Frank "Doc" Bagley of New York, who has a stable of real fighters, in cluding Willie Jackson, Augie Rat- . ncr, American expeditionary forces champion, and Oene Genny, American 'expeditionary forces light-heavy- - weight title-holder, is dickering with ' Matchmaker Kendall of the Mil waukie arena for the latter boys' appearance here in the near future. Katner holds a IB-round decision over Boy McCormjck, which he gained in London. FALSE CLAIMS SCORED promotJers are acccsed op misleading public. Writer Says Figures Given Out on " , Dempiiey-CarpenUer Fight " ' ' ' Will Provoke Poubt. '.'. ' Business" today has come to the realization tiat it pays to advertise. Furthermore, after long battle for truth in adven s'nh-, the vlailance committee of tiie Amerloan Associa tion of Advertising- Agencies has shown that truth in advertising pays in a far greattr degree than mis statements and ciaiins of the impos sible. " This vigilance committee has reached out and gone Into practically all lines of business. Perhaps the com- ,' mittee does not consider the promo tion of boxing as a legitimate busi- v ness, but whether If does or not, there is a condition existing amopg boxing promoters that oalla for some one's attention, and it look as though the "truth in advertising" campaign f the advertising association could . well focus its investigation on these promoters. , It was November 5 that announce ment waa made that New Yorkr pro- - maters had signed with Dempsey and Carpentier to box, the former to re ceive $300,000 and the latter $200. 008. These are bis figures to conjure with, ana while these amounts have - been carried in press dispatches and guaranteed as official, yet there are SCENE FROM A LIGHT WOMAN," WHICH OFEKS TODAY AT THE KIVOLI, TODAY'S FILM FEATURES.

Majestic Harold Lloyd, "Num ber Please." Star Roy Stewart, "The Lone Hand." Circle Carmel Myers,'- "In Folly's Trail." Globe Constance, Talmadge, "Good Night Paul." A' LIGHT WOMAN," which comes to the Rivoll theater today, is from the pen of Robert Browning and adapted' for the screen by George L. Cox. The cast Includes Charles Clary, Helen Jerome Eddy, Claire Du Brey, Hallam Cooley, Guy Milham and Nanqy Chase, each one with an im portant role, and each one by his excellent acting makes It a big role. Helen Jerome Eddy has a sympa thetic role as the leading ingenue. Claire Du Brey has in this drama put thai screen "vamp" on a new footing. Hallam Cooley is a convincing actor in the part of the weak youth who is completely hoodwinked by the siren and yet so realistic and human is the story, that, as his mother's son, the weakling is not left without the sym pathy of the audience. GuyMilham, a Warfield actor, who only recently deserted the stage for the screen, and Nancy Chase, a young actress rapidly coming into prominence, complete an unusually pleasing cast. The settings of this are elaborate and most artistic. Several different interiors and a few beautiful shots in the open give a pleasing variety to the scenes. Screen Gossip.

This oontest calls for the distribu tion of cash awards amounting in an to $2400, and has been so planned that each section of the country, and each community, will get anoppor- tunity. to gain honors and gold for its particular artists. There will be a grand be a grand award of best poster; four sec--$250 for first, $100 for 1500 for the tional prixea- second, $50 for third and Z5 for fourth place, in each of the eastern, anthem I'entral and western sec tions of the country and four school rv fw neenle who believe the fighters will get that amount of money. If they are not to get that amount, why Is It necessary to try and fool the public? The public would go to that contest just as readily if the men were only receiving $100 each. Now comes a statemertt from New York that Tex Rickard, the promoter, says that none of the offers for the fight from the United States are sat isfactory and he is considering an offer from Canada for $250,OU0 to stage the fight. If the boxers are to receive $500,000 between them, how will ''this Canadian offer cover It? There is a possibility that the Cana dians have offered Rickard and his associates quarter of a million to relinquish all his claims for the match and these Canadians anticipate a million-dollar gate, thus leaving them a quarter million in the clear. If that is the case,' it should have hen clearly brought out, for as the matter now stands there is a question in the mind of the public as to what It all means. Sport .

Play for the cup staxtea Aionaay. PART III. BT WILLIAM UNMACK. On lour different occasions Aus tralia has played-the United States In the challenge rounds for the Davis cup and on every meeting the teams from the Antipodes have beaten down the opposition of the United States. There has been no question of the strength and superiority of the Aus tralian and New Zealand players on these four occasions. Now the repre sentatives of the two countries meet at Auckland this month for the fifth time. Can Australia repeat her previous victories? America has sent Its best team, and incidentally Australia has a phenomenal team. Headed by the renowned Norman Brookes, Australia is placing its faith and hopes of her team in him. With Brookes are Gerald Patterson, Pat O'Hara Wood and Major R. W. Heath. The whole world knows of Norman Brookes. He is a server and volleyer par excellence. He stands unre servedly as one of the greatest tac tioians of the courts the world has known. He is a large man and makes his height and natural reach count. he covers the courts in wonderful style with a minimum expenditure of energy. There are times in Brookes game that he lacks pace and it was this factor that caused his defeat in 1915 by Tilden in the national cham pionship series in New York. Just whether Brookes will play singles has not' yet been decided by the Australians. There are many who believe he will confine his ef forts to the doubles, teamine: un with Patterson. What a team this is! The pair won the American national dou bles in 1915. defeating Bill Johnston and Peck Griffin. If Brookes does not play singles Patterson and Wood will be the Aus tralian duet for these events. Pat terson has a style somewhat like that of the late Anthony Wilding with a serve that has every characteristic-of the American method. He is a phe nomenal net player. It was this phase of his work that almost won for him entry into the final match for the United States singles in 1919, but after a narrow escape in the fifth set Bill Johnston got the Australian's measure and won the match, one of the sensational pieces of tennis tnat year. Pat O Hara Wood, third member ot the Australian team, is a consistent singles player. He has a beautifully developed back-hand drive, on which he places great reliance. This is his first year' on he Australian Davis cub team, while Patterson, Heath and Brookes are; all previous campaigners. Heath has not developed his back hand to the same extent as Wood, but on tho other hand has a masterful well-developed fore-hand drive. On this. "Austral," the famed Antipodean critic, says: "Heath's driving on his fore-hand is maerful in depth and concealment at direction,, but his back-hand lacks force and he con sistentlv shirks using it-. He has i remarkably all-round good style and rtisnlavs form at all times. lnci dentally. Heath showed to gTod ad vantage in tennis he was aDie to play while encaged in the war. Also O'Hara Wood,andi Patterson won the inter-allied army aouoies cnampiuii- shio. He was also runner-up to Gobert for the singles title, and Go- bert beiner the famed Frenchman.
