He is sched uled to go on in the feature boat of a programme arranged by the Port land boxing commission. Joe Gor man or Young Sam Langford will be his opponent. Leach caused more than one local fan a broken heart, if not a broken pocketbook. back In the days when Bud Anderson was the lightweight sensation of the country. Cross and Anderson were matched to battle at the Vernon arena in Los Angeles. The Vancouver boy at that time "was at the too of his career, having defeated Joe Mandot and Sammy Trott. The fans considered Anderson unbeatable, and made him a big favorite over the New Yorker. What Cross did to Bud in that first meeting is now history. However, the fans, or at least some of them, held that Bud was the victim of a lucky punch, and Uncle Tom McCarey, who was promoting all the important con tests In southern California at that time, was prevailed upon to rematch the pair. Cross repeated with his deadly knockout punch, thus putting a definite end to Bud Anderson and his pugilistic career. Anderson Is not the only well known battler sent to dreamland by tie hard-hittlnr Cross. He sent "One Rouid" Hogan to the mat as fast as xiugan was aoie 10 get to nis leeu Jn their first bout and in another meeting he put Hogan away in three rounds, joe Klvers. when in his prime, made it interesting for Leach.

Willie Ritchie, after he became champion of the world, was awarded a newspaper decision over Cross in New York after one of the most gruel ling contests ever held in Gotham. Red Watson, another Californlan. was put to sleep by Cross in a battle in San Francisco. Cross never had things all his own way with coast boys, how ever, for the record books show that early in bis career, when the 45-round contests were in vogue in California. Lei.ch tried his luck with Dick Hyland and his seconds tossed in the towel in the 41st round. Leach met Hyland in a return go some months later in i nuadelphia and gave Dick the lacing of his career. Cross retired some three years ago ana startea practicing dentistry, bu tne lure of the ring was too much fo him. He decided to stage, a come oacK several weens ago but at th time he said nothing of his plans. He rui in several weeks in the gym fcasium with the best boxers in and arrund Los Angeles, making sure that he was himself before telling anyone or nis plans. When certain that he still possessed the speed and hitting powers mat ne had when he was the terror of his division, he Issued his oeii. Finding some one to tackle Cross, however, was no easy task. The four rcunders who made Los Angeles their headquarters were not anxious to meet him. Chet Neff finally agreed 10 a Dout.

The story deals with the trials of a young couple who have married for love and are brought race to tace wun poverty.

A plot develops when, the young man meets a wealthy married woman, who loved him before his marriage and who ac cepted his marriage philosophically and had married a successful business man. Her heart is still with her first love, however, and she helps him to get on the path to success. Her hus band later learns of this and an es trangement follows between the two. Subsequent developments produce a like condition in tne lives or tne young couple, and the time comes when both couples, although living together, are invisibly divorced.

BY DICK SHARP. Joe Gorman, rugged Spanish fea therweight, displayed his hitting abil ity clearly at the Milwaukie aren last night, when he won a 10-roun decision over Young Sam Langford of Seattle. Joe did not fight his best, but he fought hard enough to trim the aggressive negro scrapper. The real fireworks did not begi until the fifth round, although the first round was not a slow session by any means. Langford played the role of the aggressor and- led three or four times with his snaky left. Qor man contented himself with stepping around and hooking Sam with short body punches. The fight nearly started in the second session when Langford caught Gorman with a short right uppercut under the heart. This punch stung the Portland youngster into action and he let a few lusty wallops loose, The third round was even. Both boxers circled around the ring, each leading and landing about the same number of times. Gorman had shade In the fourth round end shook Sam up with a short right crosa, Fifth Is Donnybrook. The fifth round was a regular donnybrook from start to finish. Langford rushed out of his corner at Gorman and was met with a swing ing left hook which caught hira on the side of the head.

Langford tried for Gorman's midriff and mouth. The pace they set in the fifth was so terrific that both had to slow up in the sixth and rest for a breathing spell. Gorman won the round. Langford rallied In the seventh round, but had taken too much pun ishment to fight hard enough to get any edge on Gorman. However, he boxed stronger and began using a right chop that bothered Joe. Langford made his best stand in the eighth round, when he nailed Gorman with a couple of right-hand chops on the chin that shook Joe up. Gorman was not groggy, but the punches hurt him and he showed it He smiled the blows off and brought ripping punches in from every angle in an effort to smother Langford. Gorman Takes Lead. Gorman settled down in the lead again in the ninth and purameled Langford around the ring. Gorman put everything he had in his punches and when the canto ended Langford was a tired battler. Both his lips were puffed and a few more solid blows might have spelled defeat in that round for him. The final round was a torrid, period. Langford tried vainly to breeze out in front, but could not muster the strength. The bout was a steady barrage of hard punches. Langford did his best work at long range, while Gor man accomplished the most at close quarters, although his wide left hook found a resting place on Lang- ford's head and chin many times. After being floored twice in the first round, Eddie Jackson, rugged Seattle lightweight, came back and finished in great form the remainder of his six-round scrap with Johnny Fiske of Portland. Fiske won the decision but knew he was in a fight. Things started off all Johnny. He caught Jackson with a right cross right off the reel that sent the Se attle boy to the mat. Instead of taking the count of nine he arose unsteadily to his feet, only to run smack into another right that put him down again. The bell rang be fore the nine was tolled off. Jackson Recovers Poise. Jackson fought carefully in the second round and recovered his poise. Match Postponed on Request of Local Grapplcr Because of Bout at Gold Hill. The wrestling match between Ted Thye and Mike Yokel, claimants to the middleweight wrestling title, which was slated for next Wednesday night at the armory, has been post poned to Tuesday. May 3, according to announcement last night. It is said the match was postponed on request of Thye, who has an en gagement to wrestle Ralph Hand at Gold Hill, Or., on April 26. Although Yokel has been In Port land two weeks and is not anxious to stay any longer than necessary, he gladly agreed to wait for another week in order to get a chance at the local grappler. Thye, it is said, might have gone through with the match on the orig inal date, but he had too much re spect for the ability of the Salt Lake man to take any chances of being caught out of condition. He also ex pects a tough match at Gold Hill next Tuesday, when he meets Hand. Hand appeared In Portland yesterday and took on Mike Yokel at the Lyric the ater for 15 minutes. Yokel says Hand is the toughest of the several grap plers who have attempted to stay with h'm. In a recent handicap bout between Hand and Thye the latter agreed to toss his opponent twice in an hour, but failed to gain a fall. The return match Is not a handicap affair, but is for the best two out of three falls. BALL GAMBLER CONVICTED Conviction First in Coast League for This Year. , SAN FRANCISCO. April 21.

What has become of the great inter scholastic meets the coast universities used to promote in years gone by?

After the race with California the crew from Washington got together and elected George captain for 1022. On arriving home George heard the bad news that his selec- i tlon would not stand. They have a rule at Washington that only men who have won varsity letters in the current year are eli-0-thlA tn vnt for caDtains. On this techni cality the election was declared unofficial. However, at a later date a new eieciinn will beheld and George may land the big leadership. There is no questioning his popularity with his crew members, and his permanent election will be generally pop ular. In the meantime, "rules is rules." If financial arrangements can be made, the winning crew of the Pacific northwest rowing regatta in July will row the win ning crew of the California organisation for the Pacific coast title. The Pacific association of amateur oarsmen has sanc tioned the meeting, and so has the north west, and the date of September 9 in San Francisco is satisfactory to both governing bodies. The only thing to be settled now is financing the race and prospects are good thst this will be adjusted. c. S. ALOOFXESS HELD XOT XECESSARILY FATAL. Telegraphic Sport Briefs.

April 21. (Special.) It may be the view of the irreconcilables of the United States senate that the league of nations now is dying as the result of America's aloofness, but It is not so regarded here, either in gov ernment quarters or among the more prominent supporters of the league. The opinion advanced by them is that the members of the league are villing to go a long way to secure America's adhesion to it, but so far ihere is nothing to Indicate any tend ency to scrap it to accept President Harding's promised association of na tions which, they think, would be held toKether so fragilely as to be in dan ger of collapsing under the first real pressure. It is contended here that, with the exception of a few reactionaries, there is country-wide support of the present league, nor is there any let up in the educational campaign to solidify public opinion in Its lavor, as London will be the Mecca, next month, for league enthusiasts from all parts of the nation who will gath er for a great demonstration. To gain America s adherence, it Is believed, the league would be willing to scrap article X. which is recognized as being in violation of the Monroe doctrine, and to make other modifica tions short of reducing it to Ineffec tiveness. It Is readily admitted that Amer ica's aloofness has been a severe blow, but not one serious enough to Jeop ardize the league's foundations. It Is slill hoped that President Harding will come forward with a proposal vhlch will pave the way for Amer ica's entry into the league. ment under the act, but who desire to remain in service, hereafter will fill out questionnaires and each ease will be passed on by the postniaater-gen-eral s office.
