BT DICK SHARP.
Billy Mascott. clever little Portland
bantamweight, who will defend his
Pacific coast title against Danny
Edwards, the negro flash, at the Mil
waukie arena tonight, has an excep
tional amount of backers, who think
that he will be returned the winner.
After Edwards polished off Bert
Hushes. Georrie Lee, Frankie Mon
roe and several others in quick order
the bulk of the fans at once picked
him as an easy winner over Mascott
and even gave him the chance to atop
Billy. However, within the past tew
days the sentiment seems to have
been changing and now Mascott is
the favorite.
Neither boy seems to have a great
dsre. Mascott's cleverness in a way
offsets Edwards' superior hitting
ability, making It an even up fight.
The battle somewhat resembles to
morrow's tussle of the age between
Carpentier and Dempsey. . Of course
the great weight difference is ab
sent and is a much more even fight
on paper, but it brings together the
combination of a boxer end a fighter.
The big "if" is if Edwards can
land on Masoott. Billy will not stand
still and take anything he don't have
to and at the same time is a bear at
getting in licka at close quarters
himself. One of Mascott's best fortes
Is his ability to get In a flock of
lightning punches when in close.
The fans have not yet forgotten
the last match between Mascott and
Edwards, which was fought over the
six-round route at the Milwaukie
arena over a year ago.
Edwards was not near the for
midable proposition then thar he is
now, yet he caused Mascott no end
of trouble. In fact, he came within
an ace of stowing Billy away with a
right-hander in the second .canto.
Both principals are in excellent con
dition and will weigh in at 3 o'clock
this afternoon. Both men have
posted forfeit money, agreeing to
make 118 pounds at 3 o'clock.
Mickey Dempsey, the sensational
young featherweight, has been pick
ing up a lot of speed working out
dally with Danny Edwards and is
likely to be a very different looking
boy against Eddie Gorman than he
did against Sammy Gordon a month
or no ago. Edwards has been im
parting a good deal of his ring
knowledge to the promising youth
who has proved an apt pupil.
'
The three preliminary matches on
the card should be productive of
plenty of fight. Johnny Fugate and
Red Callahan are two of the best
looking lightweight prospects de
veloped here in some time and are
eager to step up a notch on the card.
Frankie Murphy has Blgned to box
Johnny Griffiths, the Akron welter
weight at Casper, Wyo., July 4, and
Is waiting for his tickets to leave.
Whether Al Sommers wins or loses
gainst Mike Gibbons in their 15
round tussle at the Alan race track
In Idaho July 4, he will get a nice
chunk of money. Al is drawing down
a mere J2500 for his bit. which is not
to be sneered at.
Who do you think will win," is
II one heard yesterday along the
rial to. Numerous bets have been
recorded the past few days here rang
ing from one dollar to several thou

round; many even money bets are
down that the Frenchman won't come
up for the seventh round. Several
J35 to 70 beta that Georges don't
come up for the fifth; three and four

a, few are willing to take a chance
on the knockout proposition.

With the announcement of the dates
of the outdoor diving t'tle tests to

More Evidence Is Given.
JERSEY CITY, N. J., June 30. Rob
ert L. Doherty. chairman of the New
Jersey boxing commission, tonight
issued the permit for the Carpentler
Dempsey contest to the New Jersey
Athletic club and George L. (Tex)
Rickard.
The Issuance of the permit and the
statement of Prosecutor Garven that
he will not present the complaint of
the International reform bureau to
the grand Jury unless, further evi
dence of conspiracy is presented, vir
tually disposes of all legal difficulties
in the way of the contest.
Dr. Wilbur F. Crafts of the Inter
national reform bureau. In a long let
ter to Governor Edwards, made pub
lic today, demanded that he prevent
the bout. Governor Edwards, before
receiving the letter, stated:
"You may say that the fight will go
on and will be conducted absolutely
within the law."
In his letter Dr. Crafts declared
that the governor would find him
self in an awkward position if he at
tended the fight and it turned out to
be a crime. Dr. Crafts also wrote

In the World.
PARIS, June 30. By the Associated
Press.) Georges Carpentier will
receive, a few hours before he enters
the ring In Jersey City Saturday to
meet Jack Dempsey, a cablegram
signed by Gaston VIdal, undersecre
tary of state for sports, wishing the
Frenchman "a fair and even break of
luck in the battle of your life."
Almost the sole topic of conversa
tion today, had to do with the ap
proaching fight in Jersey City. Many
prominent financiers, although wor
ried over the financial situation
growing out of the banking troubles,
expressed the opinion that it was a
good thing "that the attention of the
public is centered on the fight rather
than on finances.
Mme. Carpentier has decided to re
main at home Saturday evening. She
has requested L'Auto to telephone her
the details of the match round by
round.
Shortly after noon today, for the
first time since the fight was ar
ranged, there appeared on the boule
vards money to bet on Carpentier at
odds of two to five. They were as
commodated with about 20,000 francs
in one cafe.
. Dr. Faidherde, who has been Car
pentier's medical adviser for several
years, in a signed article in Sporting,
says Carpentier must win over Demp
sey, "because his reflexes are in
finitely faster than those of any man
in the world." Dr. Faidherde adds
that between the time an idea of a
blow generates in Carpentier's mind
and the moment it is delivered "there
is nbt one photographic machine in
existence, even gauged to one
thousandth of a second, that can reg
ister the blow."
One pessimistic writer, however,
comments as follows:
"Alter a few minutes of fighting,
will there be enough of Carpentier's
brains left to Initiate a winning
blow?"
NEW YORK, June 30. When Jack
Dempsey and Georges Carpentier face
each other for the world's heavy

Portland's Move to Get Warship
Oregon "Receives Attention.
THE OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU,
Washington, D. C, June 30. Secre
tary of the Navy Denby expressed
sympathy with Portland's desire to
have the old battleship Oregon
anchored at that city, in a letter today
to members of the Oregon delegation.
He said, however, that the depart
ment, while anxious to send the old
ship into Oregon waters, was bandi
oapped by insufficient appropriations
and personnel, but continued:
"I suggest that the governor of
Oregon write a letter to the navy de
partment stating the place at which
it is desired the Oregon be berthed,
the wharf space available, depth of
water, availability for visitors,
whether or not the vessel could be
used for training United States naval
reserve forces or naval militia, the
probable expense to the government
for wharfage, and other expenses, and
what part of -the expenses the state
Pf Oregon would be willing to pay.
The subject then can be taken up
with the object of making some defi
nite arrangements."
