(Spe ed a.1) "Jack Dempsey Is not only as rood as he ever -was. but he la bet ter." said Jack Kearns, his manager, her today, "Just because Dempsey did not leap from his corner and knock Bill Bren nan dead with one punch, some of the boys say he pnt up a poor fight and rthers eay be is slipping." continued Xearaa. "Nothing- Hke that; Jack fonght a pretty fight. He stepped ( "; aronnd like a lightweight, and there i iMtr was a time when he did not J kave the fight well in hand.

It is so seldom that Derap . ewy is hit hard that some of the crowd thought Brennan would cop. There never was a chance. "Notice how the boys came out of biding after it took Dempsey 12 rounds to stop Brennan. Before that they would hardly talk about a match with the champion. Now they all want a crack at him. Let them all come. That's duck soup for us. It looks as if Jack had eased himself into quite a number of matches by carrying Brennan along to the 12th rcund before dropping him." Picture Charge Denied. Kearns denied emphatically that Dempsey let Brennan stay as long as he did just for the sake of the mov ing pictures. He save Jack wanted -.t to try-himself out after a long lay- oti ana took: no chances with Bren nan. He knew he could win any time he cut loose, so he boxed along, nice and easy, giving the fans a run for their money. Dempsey spent Christmas with his home folks in Salt Lake City.

Since then Bob has never ceased to wonder how he performed the hat trick.' ' 6TAR PITCHERS MISS SERIES Star Monndsmen Have Quit Game "Without Being In Big Event. The average fan wants to see the big guns of the pitching- game work in the annual struggle for the su premacy, of the diamond. This desire Is not always gratified. Many of the game's greatest hurlers have passed out of the big show without getting an opportunity of participating In these classics. . In the days of old, such prodigies f the pitching game as Tom Ramsey, Eddie Morris, Mat Kilroy, Fred Shaw, Jimmy Galvin, Guy Hecker. Charles Ferguson, Charles Buffington, Gus Veyhlng, "Tale Bill" Hutchinson, Xony Mullaue and the great Sweeney J never had the good fortune to get in these big events. . In recent years many great pitchers never had the opportunity to exhibit their skill in these contests for world's honors, much to the disappointment of thousands of the faithful. Jack Chesbro, the spltrball king; Russell Ford, the wizard of the emery ball; "Noodles" Hahn, Frank KlUen, Theodore Bre'tenstein and Jesse Tan nehill were phenomenal southpaw hurlers, every one of them, but none ever figured In a clash with the world's bunting at stake.

L l! E SABLES AND HEARXE DEFEAT ED AT BAKERSF1ELD, CAL. Distance of 100 Miles on Dirt Track Is Covered in One Hour 28 Minutes and 18 3-3 Seconds. BAKERSFIELD, Cal.. Dec. 26. Ira Vail today won from Roscoe Sarles and Eddie Herne what was advertised as "the dirt track automobile cham pionship" when he ma le 100 miles over one-mile track here. Vail's time was 1:28:18 3-5. The world's record is held by Tommy Milton who covered the dis tance at Phoenix, Ariz, on October 10 of this year in 1:24 2-5. van won easily, banes, winner oi the Los Angeles speedway race, being forced to drop out on the 27th lap with engine trouble and Hearne being forced out on the 16th lap, when broken piston was driven through his crank case. Vail drove the entire 100 miles without a stop. Automobile officials here believe that Vail also established new records for the 25, 50 and 75-mlie marks over mile dirt track. His 25-mile time was 22:29 4-5; the 50 miles was made 45:04. and the. 75 miles in 66:57 2-5. His average speed was 71 miles an our and many miles were clocked in 9 or 50 seconds. The track record is 46 2-5 seconds, held by Barney Old field, who paced today's start. Sarles took the lead on the first lap, but immediately lost it to Hearne, who showed the way on the second and third. Sarles regained the lead ing position on the fourth lap and eld it throughout the r-rtn Derore Hearne forged ahead and maintained his lead until the 14th lap, when Van came to the fore and never again was headed. The race was held under the sanc- on oithe American Automobile asso- iation. A purse and diamond medal were at stake. The event originally was scheduled for last Sunday, but had been postponed until today because of rain. Sport Comment. Th Olympic club of San Franctaao vidently has come to the conclusion that one's caddie has consmeraDle io do th the amount or enjoyment a piayer ran drtve out or a rouna OI ine linns. The 125 youngsters who BO to make up the armr ot bae carriera for the club enRh waa nrepented with a brand new- pair of shoes for Christmas by the board of directors of the club. There Is little question that an Inditerent, eareless and unalert caddie can do much to mar what otherwise might be a pleasant morning or afternoon on the course, and a show of appreciation and recognition on the part o fthe players la quite uaoiy to oe re ciprocated. Judging by the reams of stuff that is being written about the Tarious men who make up the squads of the University of California and Ohio State university which will meet on the gridiron at Pasa dena on New Year's day, a lot of super men and super-players will be on view when the teams clash. A number of young entlemen on both teams will have a heck of a time living up to the reputa tions that are being made for them by the writer folks. ' Of the Ohio and California players who were considered good enough to be in cluded by Walter Camp among his 33 beat players In the United States for the year 1920 and who will be seen In action on New Tear's day are: Stinchcomb. half back, first eleven, Ohio State; McMillan, tackle, second eleven, California; Trott, guard, third eleven, Ohio State; Muller, end. third eleven. California. When you come right down to it this 19 a pretty big representation among only 33 men when one considers that the en tire country has been combed for the best it produces. Needless to say that this quartet will carry a big burden on its collective and Individual shoulders when the referee's whistle starts the game to make good their right to hold their places In this high and select company. If Mike O'Dowd's offer of $5000 for an other chance at Johnny Wilson and the middleweight title Is genuine, it is going to be a aomewhat difficult task for John to continue sidestepping Mike, particu larly in view of the fact that the boxing public is considerably set in the idea that Mike is entitled to another crack at tbe laurels. But boxers and promoters have been so loose, profligate and unreliable in their financial announcements, that the public takes little stock In any mention they may make in financial terms. The record of Coach Bagshaw of the Everett high school teams for the last nine years reads a good deal like that of Gil Dobie when he was coaching the Uni versity of Washington. In that time Ever ett has scored a total ot 8350 points to Its opponents' 237. It has won 84 games. tied one and lost one. Bagshaw played for four years when he was at the University of Washington. He was with the Fortieth Engineer during the great war. CtfP COMPETITORS NAMED Tilden and Johnston to Represent America In Tennis Play. AUCKLAND, N. Z., Dec. 26. Will iam T.

HEAVYWEIGHT SHOWS WELL IN TRAINING Farmer Lodge Biggest Boxer to Visit Portland. FIGHTER SAW SERVICE Coming Contest With Some Fast Lightweight. BY DICK SHARP. From all indications Tiny Herman, the Astoria heavyweight, will need something more than leather on his gloves Wednesday night when he clashes with Farmer Lodge, the giant Minnesota heavyweight, at the Ar mory, in' One of the feature bouts of the card being staged by the Port land comir i&Elon. The rustic gentlemen from the Twin City in his workout at the London club, gave the fans an idea why he has been selected by Mike Collins to be groomed for a crack at Jack Demp sey. Lodge Is the biggest man ever Imported to appear before the Port land fans. . He tips the beams at 220 and stands 6 feet 1H inches. Judg ing by the manner in which he pum mels the sand bag and the way he handles his sparring mates Lodge posesses a kick that rates second only to T. N. T The big fellow Is a good-natured chap with plenty of confidence in bis ability to cope with any of the pres ent-day crop of heavyweights and feels that his coming tilt with Her man is but a stepping-stone to matches with the better known boxers of the heavier division. The Min neapolis mauler plans on remaining on the coast for the balance of the winter, provided of course that he sue ceeds in winning from Astoria's con tribution to the heavyweight ranks. Lodge is one of the many boxers who did his bit during the war .serv ing overseas for the better part' of 18 months with the American expedi tionary forces, and it was while in the service that he learned his A. B. C. of boxing. While in France Lodge took part in many contests 'th more than ordinary success and though lacking in knowledge at the time he met and held his own in a four-round go with Bob Martin the A. E. F. champion. Upon receiving his. discharge from the service Lodge was asked by Mike Collins to take part in a preliminary contest in Minneapolis. Collins was so impressed by the showing made by Lodge that a short time after he had him on top ef his cards. In Tiny Herman Lodge will face a boxer with the same amount of ex perience, a man who like himself picked up the rudiments of boxing In one of Uncle Sam's cantonments. Herman though knocked out by Sam Langford in his last two starts here, won his way into the hearts of local fandom by his great showings with the "Tar Baby" and is held in higher esteem today than he was prior to his contests with the famous Boston bone-crusher. The card being held at the Armory is perhaps the biggest staged here since the patriotic benefit show held at the Ice Palace in 1918 when Bobby Evans, at that time a member of the 62d infantry, staged nine of the fastest contests witnessed in this section. With all the participants on the bill on hand and In training, the fans seem assured of seeing every go as advertised. The prices are the same for the coming show as they have been for all contests staged here in the past, so the public can figure for themselves what a treat isj in store for them. Only the larger seating capacity obtainable by the erection of elevated seats " at the Armory make this sort of a card possible and the fans can look for similar attractions in the future if the commission is given the proper patronage for the coming show. Joe Gorman, who has been spend ing Christmas with relatives, is ex pected to return to the city today and will start immediate training. Joe Is under contract to the Municipal Boxing commission for January S. Hfs opponent will be Al Grunan, Frankie Callahan, who put Ralph Grunan to sleep in eight rounds, or Jimmy Dundee of Oakland. - The George Eagels-Jess Ingram lightweight match will take place at Gold Hill, Or., January 1, instead of In Eugene as originally announced. Eagels got his dates mixed and the promoters at Gold Hill thought he I waa running out on them. However, George had no Intention and will battle Ingram at Gold Hill. New Year's day.

AMERICAN PUBLIC DISPLAYS INTEREST IN TRAPSHOOTERS Exhibitions Given by Experts on Tour of Six Weeks Show People Like . to. Watch Proficient Handling of Firearms. BY PETER P. CARNEY. THAT the American public likes to witness exhibitions by those who are proficient in he handling of firearms was proven lastrau anu again recently when teams of, expert trapshooters and rifle shooters rep resenting the Winchester Repeating Arms company made six weeks tours eivlng exhibitions daily. The 1919 tour carried the shooters through Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, Missouri, Arkansas, Kentucky, Michi gan and Tennessee while the 1920 tour carried the Bhooters through the New England states: Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Ver mont, New Hampshire and to a few places in New York state. Thirty three exhibitions were , given in 35 days on the recent .trip and the av erage attendance was more fhan 2000. At Newport, R. I., the exhibition was given on the grounds of the United States Naval Training station at the instance of the officers of the war college and 3S00 jackies lined the lawn to see the best shots In the world in action with trapguns and rifles. The attendance at Newport was near tbe 5000 mark. On the trip last, fall the shooters went Into places where there were gun clubs and rifle clubs but on the recent trip many cities and towns were selected that had no trapshoot Ing club or rifle organisation. New England has been backward In a trap shooting way. and rifle clubs are not as thick as they are in other sections and the hope of the promoters of the tour was that it would develop a greater interest in all kinds of shoot ing in each of the cities visitedNew Englanders are strong for field hunt ing but haven't taken very strongly to the clays, but now that they have witnessed real shooters In action at MOVIE OF A MAN TRYING FEELS -INCLirMCD To LAU3H - But "caki-t efrmw FROM MOcriJT 1U3HTcR ; .

In the game tonight the Lumber men will have to step sumo " trim the greatly Improved Alameda tossers. The Oreeon Tech five has a goon combination and Is expected to give the Arleta clubmen a hard game w.Hn...i.r niirht. Both teams will be weakened somewhat as the Tech boys ari having a two weeks' vaca tion pe.-iod and some of the players will be out of the city. - Arleta will be without the services of Captain .lnhnnv Kolkana. which Will weaken the team's defense considerably. Kol kana, who playa a guard on tne team, is visiting with his parents in Cali fornia. It is also reported that Babe Thomas, a forward on the Arleta team, has had trouble with his eyes in the last few games. The South Parkway team, which is tied with Arleta for tbe leadership of the league. Is scheduled to journey to St. Johns Wednesday night to Dame the St. Johns Bachelors club aggre gation. Parkway will be outweighed several pounds to the man, but ex pect to overcome this handicap with speed. In the other game scneauiea ior Wednesday night the Y. M. C. A. Swastikas will meet the Peninsula Park Cadets on the latter's home floor. This should be one of the best our best sports there Isn't a doubt but that trap and rifle shooting will be on a better basis in the New Eng land states. v With the exception of Bender the members of the shooting team that toured New England are now in var ious parts of Texas showing theii wares. These two team trips have worked wonders for the sport of shooting and it Is more than likely that one and maybe two more such trips will be put through in 1921. The exhibi tions are wonderful. It was noted on the New England tour that people who saw the exhibition in one city would drive to another city later on and see the performance again. Trav eling salesmen proved the greatest boosters for the team. Salesmen after witnessing the exhibition In one city would pass along the word and there was always a good sprinkling of trav eling men on hand. Preserved Tennis Balls Used. SHANGHAI, Dec. 26. In the opinion of Shanghai tennis players "canned" tennis balls were an Important factor in the singles chamDionshin match. which was won by W. S. A. Pott from the Japanese player, J. Tanaka, who had held the title for the preceding two years. Until this season tennis balls shipped In the customary way have been used, but when manufac turers learned that these often were affected Jy moisture on the long ocean voyages they began to pack balls consigned for shipment to the far east in hermetically sealed cans. a practice commonly followed with many products. Tennis balls, so paoked, were brought into use in the singles tournament held this fall and as they proved to be unusually resili ent it was thought this had its ef- feet, particularly in the opening! . w, , - ' rounds of the tournament.
