DEMPSEY DECLARED

BAN FRANCISCO. Dee. 2. (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

and drew blood and an awful howl

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. He
will stay there and take part in a
benefit to be given for the family of
Walter Bratz, a former eport writer
of that city who died suddenly, and
; after that he will go to Los Angeles.

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.

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

45:04. and the. 75 miles in 66:57 2-5.
His average speed was 71 miles an

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

Hearne forged ahead and maintained
his lead until the 14th lap, when Van
came to the fore and never again was

A purse and diamond medal were at

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

quartet will carry a big burden on its

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.

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.

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

England has been backward In a trap

eight teams of the circuit in action

Arleta tangles with the Oregon xecn

Peninsula Park cadets.
In the game tonight the Lumber
men will have to step sumo "

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.

CORNELL RUNNERS OFF
AMERICANS IXVADE ENGLAND
FOR CKOSS-COl'NTKV RCX.
American Champions , to Try Tltcir
Speed on British Soil Again!
Picked Tam of Sprinters.
NEW YORK, Dec. 26. Tne first for
elgn Invasion of an American college
cross-country team started with the
sailing of the Cornell university run
ners for K n gland last week where
hey wilt meet a combined team rep

versities tomorrow In the first Inter
national intercollegiate contest of
this type ever staKud.
The run will be field ove- the 7V4
mile course of the Thames Hare
and Hounds club at itoehampton. near
London, and both Cornell and Oxford-
Cambridge will start teams of seven
runners. Of the 14 long-distance hlll-
and-dalers the first five of each team
to finish will score and the team hav-
ng tne lower total after ten runners
cross the line will he declared the
winner of the race. Thus If five Cor
nell entrants- were to finish in the
lead of the pack, a most improbable
occurrence, the total team score of
the American university would be tbe
minimum of 15 points.
The Roehampton course, which is
always used for the Oxford-Cambridge
dual cross-country run. Is considered
one of the 'best In England, where this
particular branch of sport Is popular,
especially during the open winter
months when any other form of run-
Ing Is out of the question on ac
count of soft tracks. The seven-and-
half-mile course la roughly divided
between two miles of road, one mile
of plowed land and the remainder of
rough grass land. It includes two
small hills and two water Jumps.
neither of which can be cleared wlth-
ut a wetting. The record for th
course is 41 minutes and 63 seconds.
While Cornell is ,the champion
cross-country college of the country,
no forecast as to the outcome of the
race can be made, for the personnel
of the English universities' combined
team Is unknown here. England has
been noted for years for the ability
of her distance runners and hundreds
of cross-country runs are held there
during th winter season. In select
Ing Cornell as the Institution to b
Invited to compete In this event the
English collegians recognised the pre
mier standing of the Ithaca univer
sity In thle branch of sport. Cornell

cross-country races held annually In
the east, whereas no other college ha
won more than one title In the five
contests not captured by the red and
