Coffroth Promoting Double
Headed Card With Winners
to Meet Each Other.
FOUR BOXERS SELECTED
Main Event to Be Between Saylor
and Moy and Other Between Wat
son and Hyland Victor to
Fight Man in Limelight.
BY HARRY B. SMITH.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Oct. 10. (Spe
cial.) A double headed card of light
weights, with the winner of the two
contests scheduled to meet and the
winner of the second elimination bout
sent against one of the more preten
tious of the lightweights, is the next
thing1 in the pugilistic world here in
Ban Francisco. Coffroth is promoting
the card, which will be staged at his
Alisslon-street arena Thursday night,
October 15. The main event will be
with Milburn Saylor, just returned
from Australia, sent against Eddie
Moy, the Kastern lightweight, who
came to the Coast along with Freddy
Welsh several months ago. In the other
affair. Red Watson, and Dick Hyl ud
are to meet again, this time over the
20-round limit. In fact both matJhf.s
are for the full distance.
The affair with Saylor had been
promised to Watson, but he made such
a. miserable showing against Hyland
that Coffroth dropped that possibility.
Hyland seems to be doing a comeback
stunt in good fashion.
"My idea," said Coffroth, "is to bring
the winners of these two matches to
gether as soon as possible and by that
time we will have a really formidable
candidate to send against one of the
lightweights who stands Out in the
limelight."
-
Coffroth is having a lot of trouble in
bringing Jimmy Clabby and -George
Chip to an understanding for a 20
round bout October 30. It was thought
to have been agreed that the winner of
the Chip-Murray fight was to go
against Clabby, but at the eleventh
hour Clabby started objections.
The trouble seems to be whether the
two middlaweights are to make 158
pounds at 3 o'clock or at 6 o'clock on
the afternoon of the fight. Bounds
like rather a silly dispute, but it is real
none the less. Clabby. who is natur
ally a light chap, wants Chip to make
158 pounds at 6 o'clock.
Manager Dime has replied on behalf
of Chip that George cannot do himself
justice at such a weight and that the
very best he will offer is to make the
same weight at 3 o'clock in the after
noon. Coffroth, for all the talk, is
convinced that if he can get the two
fighters and their managers on the
ground, he will be able to talk them
into a compromise.
Such a match undoubtedly would be
a. big card hereabouts. Chip made a
more impressive showing when he
knocked out Murray than in either of
his two other contests.
Murray, as a big card, is through, al
though his manager. Jack Kearns, talks
glibly of building up his reputation.
Chip showed quite enough to con
vince the experts that he will be a
formidable opponent for Clabby. Chip
and Murray, in a second match, gath
ered more than 9000 so that Clabby
and Chip ought to do correspondingly
better.
Billy Nolan is trying the come-back
stunt. The first of the week a story
was "released" to the effect that
Packey McFarland had decided to have
Nolan look after his affairs in the fu
ture and that his first move would be
to secure a match against Freddy
Welsh. McFarland declared that he
could do 135 pounds several hours be
fore the fight and also that he is will
ing to back himself to the extent of
$25,000.
However, McFarland Is doing nothing
but enjoying his honeymoon. He looks
decidedly large and far too heavy to
be able to make anything close to 135
pounds. Nolan has been trying for
many a month to get some fighter to
manage.
Willie Ritchie, who returned the fore
part of the week from Los Angeles and
the Southern beaches, has about decided
to spend a couple of weeks in getting
Into shape for the Winter's campaign.
Ritchie appreciates that he is some
what over the normal in weight and
that it means a strict diet together
with daily roadwork to bring him down
where he belongs. It is whispered that
Welsh, who hasn't made any money.
Is nibbling around for a return match
over the 10-round distance and it Is
just possible that Ritchie will ac
cept, for it would mean a lot of money
to him.
Abe Attell looks like a little, old man.
He stills talks bitterly of the way
Johnny Kilbane Is avoiding him, al
though experts do not figure Kilbane
would have any great amount of trou
ble in winning over the Ca'.ifornlan.
From the way things look, the catas
trophe of last week, when a preliminary
boxer died, probably as the result of
punching he received in the rin is
not going to hurt the game hereabouts.
It may have an effect when the vote is
taken in November, but otherwise there
is no sensation.

CARL MAYS.
Weather permitting, the final baseball game of the year in Portland
will be played this afternoon on the Vaughn-street grounds with the
Piedmont Maroons going against the Kandall All-Stars. Manager Ran
dall has secured some of the best talent from the Western Tri-State
League to be in his lineup.
The team which has been playing under the colors of the Maroons
all season, with two exceptions, will be put on the field by Manager
Bartholemy. The Piedmont Maroons and the Meier & Frank teams tied
for. third place in the race for the 1914 city championship. The Battling
Bradfords went through the recent series without a defeat, thereby
winning the handsome silver W. W. Metzger trophy. Pitcher Meile, who
did the main part of the twirling, is a former Portland Colt.
A "big league" battery will be in - the points for the Piedmont
Maroons, according to Manager Bartholemy, for he has secured the
services of Carl Mays as pitcher and Selmar Brenegan for backstop.
Mays is slated to go to the Boston Americans next Spring, while Bren
egan at present is drawing his pay check from McCredie's Pacific
Coast League leaders.
The game will start promptly at 2:30 o'clock.
FRENCH LIKE BOXING
Classes Organized in Colleges
and High Schools.
PROFESSIONALS ARE GOOD
Besides Georges Carpentier Many
Fighters mio Have Won Cham
pionships Are French or
French Americans.
While modern boxing was originally
an English and Irish game, men of
nearly all races, colors and nationali
ties have made it, in the 20th century,
a cosmopolitan sport. One of the great
est surprises in recent boxing develop
ments is the proficiency attained by
the French, and the enthusiasm with
which that alleged "decadent" people
have welcomed the Ted-blooded and
virile game of "le boxe." Just now the
French boxers have more serious
fighting to do, and at last reports
Georges Carpentier. the idol of the
French fans, was driving an army au
tomobile and trying to run. over the
German army.
Boxing in France has not been limit
ed to professionals, but has been wide
ly taken up by amateurs. Many col
leges and high schools or tne great
European republic have boxing classes,
and "le boxe" has become the most
popular pastime of the pupils. The
French have always been long on men
tal culture, and now that they have
taken seriously to physical culture
they may look forward to an even
greater future.
In the French army and navy boxing
has been for some time a part of the
dally physical culture programme.
The Hebert sj'stem of exercise, adopted
for both the sailors and soldiers of "la
republique," pays much attention to
boxing, as calculated to develop not
only strength and agility of body, but
individual initiative and quick tnlnk-
ing.
Frenchmen Win Titles.
Not so many years ago the American
fight fan would have sneered at the
idea of a man of French blood winning
a pugilistic title, but in the last quar
ter of a century we have had several

champions who boasted French descent.
George Lavigne. who held the world's
lightweight title from 1893 to 1899, was
a French-Canadian, and a better little
boxer the world has seldom seen. The
"Saginaw Kid" whipped Dick Burge,
the English champion, and twice wal
loped Joe Waicott, the great negro
welterweight, both being men much
heavier than himself. Lavlgne visited
Paris in 1905, and, although he had
seen his best days, his work was a
revelation to the French. Incidentally,
the "Kid" lost his title to a native of
Switzerland, Frank Erne.
George LaBlanche was another
French -Canadian who won a title. "The
Marine" was famed for his "pivot
blow," and used that punch to knock
out the Irish "Nonpareil." Jack Demp
sey, from whom he took the middle
weight title. LaBlanche was a native
of Canada, of pure French blood, ud
-v. F ia" -wKtu. -.tj.'?
served in the United States marines
before he took to the ring.
Tommy Ryan, the classy welter and
middleweight champion, had a French
father, but an English mother. Johnny
Coulon.. long the bantamweight chief,
is French-Irish an ideal fighting com
bination. Arthur Pelkey, tho Canadian
who became prominent by reason of his
tragic victory over Luther McCartv at
Calgary, is also Irish-French. Other
boxers with this mixture of blood in
clude Eddie Campi, the clever San
Francisco fighter, and Tommy Devlin,
the Philadelphia lightweight.
Tommy Burns, the former heavy
weight champion of the world, is a
French-Canadian, and for his weight
he was one of the best boxers in the
business. Johnny LaVack. a French
native of Montreal, was one of the best
featherweights in the ring in the late
'90s. Other French-Canadians who have
made good In the ring include Gilbert
Gallant, Kid Yoakum and Pat Drouil
lard. Of the French-Americans now before
the sporting public, Joe Mandot, the
New Orleans "baker boy," is the star.
Joe recently whipped the German
American Ad Wolgast, former light
weight champion. Sam Robldeau. for
mer lightweight boss of Uncle .Sam's
Navy, and now a professional, is of
French descent, and Eddie Revoire and
several others could be added to the
list. The Frenchmen on this side of
the Atlantitc certainly have no reason
to be ashamed of the ring records of
their countrymen.
Others Beside Carpentier.
While professional boxing is, com
paratively speaking, still in its in
fancy in France, a number of native
performers have attained a high de
gree of skill. Carpentier. who de
feated Bombardier Wells and Gunboat
Smith, heads the list, but the French
also have good men in Marcel Moreau,
Charlie Ledoux, Henry Piet, Louis de
Ponthieu, Paul Til. Jean Poesy. George
Papin. Albert Lurie, Bouzonne and
others.
The first French boxer in hlstorv
was Monsieur Pettit." a French giant
who became interested in "le boxe"
while touring England with a circus.
He whipped a number of Britishers and
in 1751 he was matched with Jack
Slack, the champion. By his wrestling
tactics the Frenchman almost put
Slack out early in the battle, but when
the Englishman landed one of his fa
mous "slack 'uns" the Frenchman lost
all interest In the sport. Glove box
ing was introduced into France by
Englishmen about a century ago and
an account of a battle in 1818 describes
the gladiators as "with their hands
guarded by huge padded gloves."
In the late 'SOs several great prize
fight were pulled off on French soil
by English and American bruisers. In
1887 Jake Kilrain and Jem Smith, the
British champion, fought a memorable
106-round battle in France. The fol
lowing year John L. Sullivan and
Charlie Mitchell went to Chantilly,
France, to do battle for the world's
heavyweight title, scrapping over three
hours to a draw.
Skill . Interests Parisians.
These prize-fights did not particular
ly appeal to the French temperament,
and it was not until they saw more
clever and scientific boxing that the
Parisians were aroused to enthusiasm.
Skill and generalship and fast foot
work have always been the character
istics of the French disciples of "le
box "
Before the "Anglais" style of boxing
attained popularity in France the
French boxed "la savate," using the
feet as well as the hands in landing
blows. When Jim Jeffries visited Paris
in 1899, shortly after becoming cham
pion, he was matched with Blah, the
French champion. In the first round
the Frenchman leaped over the head
of the crouching Monsieur Jeff and
landed a stinging blow with a foot as
he passed. Jeff followed the whirling
dervish of a boxer and when he landed
a punch on the jaw the agile French
man had a plenty.
It was about 10 years ago that
French enthusiasm for "le boxe" be
came general and the American and
English fighters found Paris an invit
ing held. Sam McVey, the California
negro, was one of the pioneer mission
aries and he was long a favorite. Wil
lie Lewis was another "early bird" and
Frenchmen believed that he was the
greatest boxer in the world. Scores of
other American boxers have since per
formed in France, among them Frank
Erne, Tommy Burns, Bert Keyes,
George Gunther, Blink McCloskey. Har
ry Lewis, Billy Papke, Kid McCoy,
Dixie Kid, Frank Moran. Leo Houck,
Frank Klaus, Jeff Smith, Jack John
son, Johnny Daly, Charlie Thomas, Sam
Langford. Joe Jeanette, Biz Mackey and
dozens of others. The Parisian fans
used to fall for the dubs, but now they
are as keen Judges of boxing as -can be
found anywhere. -

George Tyler, the Braves' twirler
says he intends to become a farmer
when his days on the diamond are over.
Fred Clarke, of the Pirates, is quoted
as saying- the Spring- trains camp is a

In their last three world's series, the
Athletics have played 16 games! of
which they have won 12 and in whtch
they have made 85 runs. 152 hits and
32 sacrifice hits, and stolen 23 bases.
"I can break any man of a longstanding-

"Do you think you could cure me,
doctor?" spoke up Cornelius McGilli
cuddy. "To what habit are you addicted?"
asked the specialist.
"Winning American League pen
nants." replied the patient.
"I can guarantee a positive cure,"
replied the specialist, "but it will be
necessary for you to take the manage
ment of the Cleveland Naps."

"Frank Chance is going to Califarnia

Baseball has some funny' freaks.
None, however, can beat the one a
writer recalls happening- in a game in
Indiana. May 30, 1890. when the Ander
son club got three triples, a double
and three singles in one Inning but
failed to score.
Ireland, the first batter, hit for a
triple and tried to score on a short
passed ball, but was tagged out. The
next batter slammed out what looked
like a homer, but was caught at the
plate by u fast relay. The next batter
tripled.
Following him the next man bunted
and while the third baseman was wait
ing for the ball to go foul, reached sec
ond in safety. The following player
also bunted and was safe when the man
on third was held from scoring. The
last man to hit came up and sent a
single between first and second that
hit the runner going to second, re
tiring the side.

Such ie the true and veracious story
of one of the most thrilling events in
all ball history. In years to come griz

Victor Zednick, former graduate man
age of athletics at Washington, agrees
witn tne football folk who think Wash
ington will have fully as strong an
eleven this Fall as last.
"It la too early to hazard any rea
sonable estimate of the strength of the
teams other than the general state
ment that they seem more evenly
matched than usual," says Zednick. "I
do not -look for Washington to be
weaker than last--year. but indications
point to stronger teams both at Ore
gon and at Washington State College."
Speaking of bonns, Happy Hogan and
Cal Ewlng ought to give Detective
Swennes a bonus if Portland loses the
pennant this year.

Hunters Bug Three Deer and Goat.
WOODLAND, Wash.. Oct, 10. ( Spe
cial. ) A party of hunters composed of
T. N. Hulett.- R B. Behymer. Carl
Fritz, Deed Tesch, Thomas Stratton,
William Lawyer. Edwcrd Erickson.
Cheater Spitznogle and John Geiser re
turned yesterday from a hunting trip
.in the mountains near the foot of
Mount St. Helens, about 50 miles above
Woodland. Although they report game
of all kinds plentiful, they only suc
ceeded in getting three deer, but se
cured one of the finest specimens of
mountain goat that has been brought
in here in many years. This was se
cured on what is known as Goat Moun
tain, a few miles from the foot of
Mount St. Helens. The hunters report
that, owing to the fact that foliage is
still dense on the trees and underbrush.
It made successful "still hunting" hard
and dangerous on account of the large
number of hunters in the mountains.
