Stanley Ketchel seems to be the man of
wio nour in pugilistic circles today, for
the Michigan lad is in line to meet Jack
Johnson, the colored claimant to the
WriT-1 H ' V. 1 i , . . .
.......... t.miiitJiuiiBiiip. R.eicnei a per
formance against Philadelphia Jack
O Brien. when he beat the "confessor" in
three rounds recently, is mainly respon
sible for the present day halo pictured
above his cranium.
Ketchel's showing against O'Brien Is
made a great deal of simply because the
Pniladelr.hian a short time previously had
apparently outpointed Johnson in a six
round bout at the Quaker City, and the
many admirers of the Michigan lad imag
ine he is quite likely to trim the colored
la d also.
However, Ketchel is taking up a big
task when he aspires to the heavyweight
championship, but in doing so, he has
only one advantage over Tommy Burns,
and that is, he possesses a knockout
punch, at least such a blow that would be
required to dispose of the burly black,
and which Tommy Burns did not possess
Ketchel is admiftedly the best man in
Tils class since the days when Robert
Fltsslmmons fought at the middleweight
limit, and Fritz eventually usurped the
heavyweight title as well, and It may be
rnat the Michigan boy may follow suit.
BUU .t seems somewhat presumptuous on
the part of a fighter so handicapped as
to size and weight to presume to lower
the colors of the big negro.
It may be Ketchel is another Fltz
Jlmnions. but he has not yet shown that
he Is such, for the ruby one had fought
and won 10 or 20 times as many fights
s has Ketchel before he met and de
feated Jack Dempsey at New Orleans.
January 14. 1S01. Ketchel enjoyed a rep
utation as a Montana wonder, for he
fought something like 35 battles In and
around Butte and Miles City before he
came Into prominence by defeating Joe
Thomas decisively in California, and It
J"'1" not generally known that he was a
native of Michigan until he knocked out
incm ?, and followel this by defeat
ing Billy Papke In 10 rounds. He had
,V?I5 WUh Papke and ,s sched
uled for a fourth meeting shortly
In the second meeting with Papke. the
,11 .1en tleman knocked Ketchel out in
the 12th round at Los Angeles. Hw.
er. on their third meeting Ketchel
out in the 11th round at San Francisco.
These two later battles occurred within
a short time of each other, and In a
measure, bear out Ketchel's claim that
t cThance blow which scored for
Papke at Los Angeles. As they .are
.v,aKaln the fisht fans eagerly

Forrest Smithson, Oregon's most fa

while he is now on his honeymoon, he
has assured the Multnomah Club that he
will be on hand for the Seattle games
and that he expects to equal Shaw's
American record for the high hurdles of

when he covered the 110 meters event at
London in that time, for that distance is
a fraction longer than 120 yards. Because
the A. A. U. turned down one of his
marks and allowed Shaw's mark. Smith
son is anxious to beat Shaw and his rec

tire from athletics.

Several improvements are bein made
at the club s headquarters. All the

LIST WILL INCLUDE 120
California and Washington Are to
Send Fastest Racquet-Wielders
to Contest Honors With
Oregon Experts.
Tennis players are beginning to look
forward with interest to the eleventh
annual tournament for the tennis
championship of Oregon to be held on
the Multnomah Amateur Athletic
Club's courts July 13 to 17, inclusive.
A full tournament of five events, con
sisting of men's singles, men's doubles,
ladles' singles. ladies' doubles and
mixed doubles, is scheduled, and some
of the best-known players on the coast
will participate. It is estimated there
will be aproximately 40 entries in the
men's singles and 120 entries in all.
The tournament this year will undoubt
edly be the best the club has ever held
and the spectators who witness the
series will see the playing of champions
of National fame.
W. A. McBurney. the Northwest
champion of 1908. who lives ln ' Spo
kane, will enter the tourney to defend
his title to the Fiske cup, which he
now hdlds as champion of 'Oregon. This
cup has been competed for for a num
ber of years, and has been held by
several , crack players.
Miss Hazey Hotchkiss. of Berkeley,
who holds the J. C. Ainsworth cup.
has signified her intention of taking
part in the tournament. Miss Hotch
kiss is now in the East winning honors.
Miss Ryan, of San Francisco, one of the
best lady players of California, is also
expected to take part in the tourna
ment. In the men's doubles McBurney and
Joe Tyler, also from Spokane, will
probably form a team that is looked
on as the favorite. They hold the
men's doubles cup. which was put up
for the first time last year.
Of the local players the winners ln
the Katz cup and Irvington tourna
ments will attempt to wrest the honors
away from the present holders of the
championship. Wickersham and Goss
being looked upon as strong compe
titors. Major W. A. Bethel, a former holder
of the Fiske cup. who has been living
in San Francisco for two years," will
also take part in the tournament In
addition the entries will be augmented
by a number of crack players from
the Sound.
Several tennis tournaments have been
held on the Coast this year, and some
fast games have been reported. The
greater majority of the fastest entries
will take part in the Portland tournament.
"Chuck" Taylor Is Expected Back
From Cornell and Freshman Class
Will Have Much Promising"
Gridiron Material.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene,
Or., June 19. (Special.) The stage
setting is all prepared for Oregon's
act in the football drama of next Fall.
Robert Forbes, all-American end on
Yale and coach at West Point in 1907.
will for a sedond time, teach football
at Oregon, according to the Yale sys
tem. Dudly Clark, the champion punter
and all-Northwest fullback, is to cap
tain the team of 1909. while Bill Hay
ward, the noted trainer, will once more
enforce his strict training rules.
The Fall season of 1909 bids fair to
be the brightest football year in the
history of the University of Oregon.
Out of 23 men who played in all or
parts of conference games last season.
Oregon will lose only three by gradu
ation, while a host of "prep" school
stars have already appeared. Among
the men who played or had the bene
fit of coaching and practice under
Coach Forbes last year, and who will
be back to try out for places next
Fall are Dodson, Main, Clark, Pink
ham, Means, Sweek, Kiltz. Latourette,
Scott, Hayes, Michael, Kellogg, Haw
kins. Chandler, Hlckson. Voight, Mc
Kinley. Gilles, Sullivan and Newton.
Word also comes from Cornell that
"Chuck" Taylor, the freshman star
halfback on Oregon's team of 1907,
.will in all probability be back at Ore
gon next year. The fact that Taylor
did not compete in athletics at Cornell
and can, therefore, once more defend
the honor of the lemon-yellow on the
gridiron, has sent Oregon's stock
aboomlng.
Was Famous at Cornell. .
Last Fall letters came from Cornell,
telling that "Chuck" Taylor, from Ore
gon, on the freshman squad, was the only
man in his class and was attracting
much attention on account of his phe
nomenal playing, when fortunately for
Oregon in practice one night just before
the first game "Chuck" broke his collar
bone and was disabled for the rest of the
season. With Taylor playing one half.
Bill Main, last year's star from Lick
High School, San Francisco, playing the
other, and Clark, the redoubtable- full
back and punter, in his old position, Ore
gon will have a trio which for combined
speed and strength will be unsurpassed
west of the Rockies.
Latourette and Chandler, the two- fresh
men quarterbacks of last year, brothers
to Jack Latourette. the quarterback, and
Weary Chandler, the end. both former
captains and all Northwest players on
Oregon elevens, will, with another year
of experience back of them, do good
work. For center Leslie Means, the Pen
dleton freshman of last Fall, who did so
well will have pitted against him Glen
Scott, center on the team ln 1907. who has
been away from college one year. There
will be a great array of men. both old
and new, trying for line positions, and
among them Oregon's old war horse,
Louis Pinkham. a Northwest player and
mentioned by Van Camp for the All
American team last Fall. For his weight
there is no tackle to be found equal to
pinkham and Oregon rests assured that
his side of the line will be invincible.
Strong Bunch or Ends.
In Dodson, Michael, Kiltz and Hick
son. Oregon has the strongest bunch of
ends in the Northwest. rodson wa8 An
Northwest end last season and is a fierce
rro V, vB2,Ck" Micha' hails formerly
from Lick High School. California, and
in the game with .idaho early last season
demonstrated that he had few equals ln
the West. Unfortunately, however, he
received a heavy blow on the head in
practice one night, which kept him out
of the game for the rest of the year. In
J.tltz and Hickson. the university has a
PaLJf.fast and gritty ends also, whose
worth is well known. With these four
and the usual two or three freshman
aspirants on the field, there will be keen
rivalry for the end positions.
The men lost by graduation are Moul
Ien. last year's captain. Hurd and Mcln
tyre. Of these, Moullen is unreplaeable
as he without doubt has no peer in the
place-kicking field.
In the game with Idaho at Moscow
last Fall Moullen kicked a goal from

place kick on record. This year's new

gon's closing Portland games with O.
A. C. and Multnomah. This coming
Fall Forbes will be famHiar with the
playing of the different men .which
will give him a better chance to bring
his great system to a higher degree
of efficiency.
Promising Freshman.
The Incoming freshman class will
bring In some promising material.
Among the prospective candidates are
Baker, of Pendleton High School, a
halfback: Merrelles. of Lick High
School, fullback: Reiser, of Alameda
High School, fullback; Walker, of Co
lumbia University, fullback, and Donal
son. of H. M. A., center.
It Is worthy of note that Oregon has
not ceased to be an attraction to the
California. High School lads, three ol
these new men hailing from there.
Last season in Moullen. Main and Mi
chael, all from Lick High School, Cal
ifornia, Oregon had as pretty a trio of
football men as ever played In the
Northwest. All of the above named
high school lads hold a good scholas
tic reputation and should be a source
of strength to the squad.
Last year Just before the opening of
college several of the football men
went up the McKenzle River for an
outing and spent a week fishing and
hunting. A couple of footballs were
taken along and spare moments were
spent ln practice. The trip was such
a success that Bill Hayward, the train
er, has decided to take the squad up
there every year, where a training
camp will be held for two weeks. This
year the headquarters will open at
O'Brien's on September 15. The men
who make this trip up the McKenzle
have a decided advantage over the oth
er candidates for the team, as they re
turn in better condition to stand" the
hard knocks of the early season prac
tice. . From the amount of material ln
view' there will be keener competition
for places on the team next Fall than
ever before and many of the old men
will have to hustle to hold their posi
tions. The annual game with Multnomah
on Thanksgiving day has been supple
mented by the game with the Uni
versity of Washington at Seattle. This
game Is the last, and in all probability
Oregon's hardest contest, as the Wash
ington team won the championship of
the Northwest last year. The Univer
sity has games scheduled also with
the Alumni. Willamette. Multnomah,
Idaho and O. A. C
