He Is Fit Contender.

Evans, well known in Portland as
a manacer of boxers and former
matchmaker for the Portland box
ing commission, is arranging for the
big boxer who hopes to regain ine
title that now rests upon the curly
locks of Jack Dempsey.
Evans, who returned to Portland
from Los Angeles yesterday, had
little chance to talk business with
the Portland or Slilwaukie commis
sion, but expects to talk Vhe mat
ter over with Vepresentatives of
both commissions today when a
dnte will be set for the appearance
here of the white hope who brought
the world's heavyweight crown
back to the white race.
Willard, according to Evans, is
the most sought after pugilist In
America today, not excepting the
champion. Jack Dempsey. Big Jess
could tour Americ and make more
money knocking over a lot of set
ups during the next six months
than he will be paid by Tex Rickard
or any other promoter to meet the
champion, declares Evans, but it
is not the desire of Willard to bunk
' the public.
Willard Ready to Show Good.
He is willing to take on Fred
Fulton, Bill Brennan, Floyd John
son or any other white heavy
weights in his training quarters to
prove to the public and press as
well as the successful bidder for
the Willard-Dempsey match, that he
really rates a shot at Dempsey.
, Should Willard fail to outclass the
( men who are being mentioned as
: opponents for Dempsey he is will
' ing to step aside and let any other
man selected step to the barrier
with the champion.
Willard is well fixed financially,
and while he may not have been
the flashiest boxer that ever held
the heavyweight crown, there is no
getting away from the fact that he
won the title from Johnson and
there is no reason why he should
have to fight his way back before
getting another chance at the
championship, is the argument ad
. vanced by Evans.
Return Match Held Only Fair.
Jim Corbett, Bob Fitzsimmons and
) other great champions were given
return matches for the asking and
Willard surely is Entitled to the
same deal, says Evans.
The present tour of exhibitions
: being arranged for Willard by
Evans is for the purpose of shpwing
l the fans that the ex-champion is
active enough, and that with a good
siege of training he could go into
) a real bout and give Champion Jack
a battle.
There is no question but what
the boxing fans of . Portland, asl
well as other cities in the north
west, want to see the big Kansan
strip and step a few rounds just to
judge for themselves whether he
really is fit for a return clash with
Dempsey.
WILLARD DENIES RUMORS
Jess Says No Articles Signed to
Meet Floyd Johnson.
LOS ANGELES, Cal Nov, 27.
Jess Willard, former heavyweight
champion, today denied a report
from Buffalo, N. Y., that he had
accepted an offer to meet Floyd
Johnson and renewed his previous
statement that he wants to fight
Jack Dempsey. He also denied that
he had said he was in condition at
present.
"Any story sent out from Buffalo
that I have accepted an offer to
meet Floyd Johnson is untrue," said
Willard. "I simply wired Charlie
Murray, the promoter, that i was
going to have a talk with Kearns
when he returned here and that I
could not give a definite answer
until fter that time.
"If it is true that Dempsey has
signed up with A. H. Woods, then I
expect to be the first of the two men
who will meet Dempsey. I believe
the first good man who meets
Dempsey can whip him and I want
the chance.
"I did not wire Murray that I am
in condition, and any stories sent
out by him or anyone else to this
effect are laughable. If I were, then
I would take on Dempsey on the
stage 'or anywhere else he might
name."

BABE RUTH IN TRAINING
BAMBINO ON FARM GETTING
IX SHAPE FOR 1923.
Ex-King of Swat Declared Trying
to Recover Lost Laurels by
Rigorous Workout. -a
' By Chicago Trfbune Leased Wire.)
SUDBURY, Mass., Nov.. 27. Babe
Ruth is making good on his pledge
to essay a "come-back." Far from
Broadway's lure he is living a sim
ple, regular, rigorous life on his
farm here. A farmer's chores are
his daily training. His muscles with
each ax blow are gatnering power
with which he expects to reclaim
the home-run crown, and there is
much wood chopping daily In the
Babe's new routine.
When he plays he roams the open
fields with a rifle, training the
old eye to see keenly. Or he gets
a healthy, clean enjoyment from
tfro companionship of animals, his
favorite pet just now beijig a white
rabbit.
The Babe has changed. He took
an oath of faith to his army of
worshipers to retrieve their re
spect, to return to baseball next
year ready to regain his lost laurels.
And he's working hard to keep that
pledge.
Baby Dorothy Helen, his bright
eyed daughter, is with the Babe
on the farm.
Ruth doesn't dress for dinner. He
is more interested in calories than
clothes. His interest takes him
into the kitchen frequently. He has
foregone cigarettes for a long
stemmed pipe.
The one missing figure in the
homely domestic scene will soon be
supplied. Mrs. Ruth, who is in St.
Vincent's hospital in New York city
recovering from an operation, ex
pects to jin her big and little babes
within a week or two.
Mrs. Ruth has refused to receive
visitors, under strict orders of her
doctor, it is said. In accordance
with her wishes, the nature of her
illness Is being kept secret.
UMPIRES
FAVOR
UNION
Organization "to Help Them As
sert Rights Is Considered.
(By Chicago Tribune Leased Wire.)
CHICAGO, Nov. 27. Minor league
umpires are boiling over with the
idea of forming a labor union to
help them assert their rights. They
expect to form this organization at
the annual Louisville meeting of theJ
Nationai association.
Foremost in their demands will be
the elimination of alleged "pull,'
which takes some "lame duck," ex
player cr green athlete and makes
him a major league arbiter, while
the competent minor league um
pires, veterans and capable, are
passed by. They cite two instances
of this alleged unfairness. One is
George Moriarity, noted umpire
baiter, who was made a major
league umpire when his playing
days were done. He had no ex
perience and never qualified with
men like Brick Owens and Hank
O'Day. Another case was Ed Walsh,
the ex-White Sox star. He was
alleged to have fallen down so
badly on decisions last summer that
he was shjfted to the utility list.
According to the promoters of
the new union, the organization will
demand that organized baseball give
each minor league umpire a chance
in the big league after a certain
period of service and as fast as
openings permit.
REED QUINTETS GET BUSY
Freshman Squad Is Causing Other
Classes to Worry.
With the intra-mural football sea
son over and the championship in
the hands of the upperclass team,
interclass basketball has come to the
fore at Reed college.
The freshmen squad, with a fast
group of men out for practice daily,
is giving the other teams something
to worry about. Wilson, Reynolds,
Pilpel and Colt are among a mass
of fine material.
Experienced men in the upper
classes are scarce. The sophomores
lead in the number of last year's
men, having Galser, Griffin, John
son, Riches, Frazier and Stone back
on the floor and proving good mate
rial on which to build a team.
The championship team of last
season finds Beich and Weinsteln
the only regulars back in the line
up, although Brady and Houston,
substitutes last year, are expected
to helB the seniors.
The juniors look to Henny and
Graham as a nucleus around which
to build their team.

Oakland Signs Chet Thomas.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 27. Chet
Thomas, former American League
catcher, has' signed a contract with
the Oakland club of the- Pacific
Coast league for the 1923 season, it
was announced here today. Thomas
was with Oakland in 1909 and after
ward played with Boston and Cleve

Nothing more amazing has occurred
in swimming than the 440-yard back
stroke performance in 6 minutes 24 4-5
seconds achieved by Miss Sybil Bauer
of the Illinois Athletio club in Bermuda
recently. Not only did the feat better
Miss Baeur's own world's record for
women by IS 4-5 seconds, but actually
broke the men's international standard
of 8 minutes 28 seconds, held by Harold
Kruger of Honolulu. Never before was
a woman known to beat a swimming
record for men.
An'interesting sidelight on Miss Bauer's
performance is that Kruger, now a resi
dent of Chicago, heard some weeka ago
that the Illinois Athletio club girl mar
vel was preparing to attack his mark in
Bermuda and mads up his mind that he
would put it beyond her reach before
shf got a chance at it. So he requested
that a special race be added to a meet
in Milwaukee, But all the trouble of
the trip went for naught, for the young
Hawaiian failed even to equal his stand
ard time. To have this fair natator
break his mark must have been a ter
rible Jolt to the man fish,
Observers of swimming have long pre
dieted that women would make swim
ming competition Interesting for men.
Women so far excel men in the water
now, taking swimmers as an average,
that put them in competition and you
will find that the women will win oh
points in every style or distance of
swimming. This is true of any section
or taking the United States in general
Meni holding world's records are making
better time than women, but with thess
tew exceptions swimming is tha women's
port.

More than passing Interest attaches
to the report from the Antipodes that
Miss Mina Wylle of Sydney is expected
to be the conspicuous figure In the swim
ming championships of Australia again

queen, who swept everything before her
