THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAN, PORTLAND, APRIL 18, 1915. WELSH SAYS FIGHT 1 1 FALLS AT OREGON CITY LURE FISHERMEN FROM ALL PARTS OF THE STATE. The Store of 100 Per Cent Service. . IT WAS i FRAMED Referee of Havana Pays Trib ute to Willard's Ability and Gameness. JOHNSON OVERCONFIDENT San l'rancisco King Expert Says "White Man Could Have Scored Knockout in Sixth ir Jones Hadn't Held Him Back. BT HARRY B. SMITH. SAN FRANCISCO, April 17. (Spe cial. ) Jack Welsh, sole eyewitness rem San Krancisco to the Willard Johnson match at Havana, returned home this week and has a world of in formation regarding: the contest, to gether with many incidents that es caped the wire and cable. No one will deny that Jack, in hia capacity of referee, had a remarkably "good seat" from which to view the conflict. More over, he is trained to watch closely what is happening in the ring and would, naturally, see a. lot of things that would not appeal to the ordinary citizen. Therefore his statements have far more worth' than would attach to an interview from an ordinary spectator. "Welsh has been connected with the boxing game in one capacity or another for a quarter of a century, and he is fully capable of speaking. No Frame-up Indicated. First and foremost, "Welsh says there was absolutely nothing to indicate a frame-up in the bout. "It was Just a case of a fighter (Johnson) so far gone back he was nowhere near his old form. Jack was overly confident and thought he was in a cinch match. Willard was too strong for him and could have scored a knockout as early as the sixth round. Tom .Tones, however, was strong for holding his figrhter back and simply wouldn't let Willard take any chances. It is true,- as I said in Havana, had the match been but 20 rounds I would have been forced to have given the decision for Johnson. After that Jack was through, but. even so, it took Willard six rounds to de termine that fact. "Whether Johnson could have gone further I am not prepared to say. He might have stood on his feet, but the result would have been just the same. The knockout was a clean punch and took what little strength there was left In the black. "Willard is a much improved fighter over the matches in which we saw him perform here in San Francisco. He knows something more about boxing. Of course he looked awkward against Johnson, for the latter is one of the cleverest men of the ring. However, Jess can not only box, but he can hit a hard blow. "No, I can't say that I was surprised at the result after I had. seen Johnson. He was about 25 pounds overweight and that oldtime speed and dash were miss ing. "Even so. he nearly stowed Willard away in the 14th round. Jack loaded up with everything he had for a final rally. He whipped in several lefts and then brought his right across with all the force he could muster. Willard staggered and I thought that he was going to fall. But he only shook his head, stalled for a minute and then went after Johnson again. Jack knew that his finish was near at hand. JnhnfioD Leads On Points. "From the 14th to the 20th round. Johnson continued to box and had a nice lead on points. His last rally was made in the 20th when he tried again with his right to the jaw. It was a futile move and Willard only laughed at him. He simply waited for Johnson to tire himself out and all the while the white man seemed to gain strength and courage. "A left over the heart started John son on his way in the 26th. He was weak and exhausted and he dropped his guard. Willard then landed hia right to the jaw and it was all over. "After I had counted ten on the fallen champion, the crowd surged into the ring and I was nearly carried off my feet I don't know what happened to him but they told me hia seconds picked him up. Was he out? Well, 1 could not say. However, if he did get up, I know that Willard would have flattened him again for he was ready with his haymaker. "1 will say this for Willard. The Kansan is as game as any big man I ever saw. He is rather slow but he doesn't know what it is to quit. I think he will remain champion for some years to come for he is a clean living, big fellow and knows how to take care of himself. He told me that ho in tends to stick to Tom Jones through thick and thin." Welsh brought with him an interest ing story of an incident just after the fight. It Eeems the crazed populace took Willard's trousers and cut them tip for souvenirs. Jess just had to have something of the sort in which to adorn himself and Anally was handed a pair of baggy trousers worn by a jockey. As was to have been expected, they were far from being a good fit and the new champion of the world cut rather a funny figure as he strode off down the street. That Havana will never make a fight center is the assertion of the referee. He declares that the Cubans do not understand or appreciate the sport and that . enough Americans cannot be brought into the country to make lighting a profitable venture for the promoter. O. A. C. -OOTBAI,Ii MELD DONE Gridiron to Be One or Best in North west When Season Opens. OREGON AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE, Corvallis, April 17. (Special.) Work men have finished the new football field of the Oregon Agricultural College, and when the season opens next Fall the Corvallis institution will have one of the finest gridirons in the Northwest. It will be well turfed and tile drained. and will be fit to play on no matter how rainy the weather. A new baseball diamond also has been completed, and work on the quar. ter-mile outdoor running track, which surrounds the football field, is progress lng rapidly. The track will be made to conform to the new ruling of the Amateur Athletic Union and will be the regulation distance. The lack of suitable fields on which to train has hampered the Corvallis athletic teams in the past, and Dr. Stewart, director of athletics, is antici pating an increased interest in athletics of all kinds as a result of the improvements. f iV ?fr ' 4 -r i f ' 2 CCa&MW-' A t "5 4 "1 o MS jri IT7 tic 1 1 vn 1 1 T p , -4 30out7c?

WILLARD FOE LOOMS Coffey -Is Most Formidable Heavyweight Aspirant. DUBLIN GIANT'S WORK FAST Wenatcljee Team to Compete. WENATCIIES, Wash., April 17. (Speoial.) A picked team of athletes from the local high school will be sent to compete in the Washington State College interscholastic meet May 14, at J'uliman. Tom Cowler, Who Got Start in Port land, Expected to Appear Soon In Role of Opponent for Title Honors. At present there seems to be but one white heavyweight "white hope" has gone out of fashion who is equal to the task of meeting Champion Jess Willard. This fellow is no less a personage than Jim Coffey, the Dublin uianu Cnffev risrht now is the only Heavy weight in the crowd who appears to be of championship caliber. Coffey need have no fear, however, that Jess is going to take him on and give him a crack at his title in the immediate future. Those who are handling the business end of the big Kansan's fistic endeavors do not feel that he shpuld enter the ring to defend his title be fore nine months or so of vaudeville has netted some easy coin. The Dublin Giant naa been snowing some real class of late, after having been nursed along tenderly by iioinam boxing experts. He has been slipping the sleep potion to a mimoer oi ui hrwa nrt dishing uo knockouts on the side in New York. The least that can be said of the big irisnman is uiai he is a good man for Jess Willard to stay away from. Before many more moons ruu aiuunu another heavy is going to maKe nis appearance on the championship hori zon. When this Happens roiusuu una will recall the name of Tom uowier ana the fact that Portland was the place where he first got his real start. Not much has been said about the big Eng lishman in Eastern boxing circles, or any other for that matter, but those who saw him wnue in roriio.no. anu have seen him since he left with Jim Corbett, and who are credited witn knowing a thing or two about Doxing flesh, are unanimous in their praise of Cowler. At the present time Tom is sojourning with Corbett in Australia, where Corbett is doing a theatrical turn. Before he left Portland with Cowler, Corbett said that when he returned again to the Northwest it would be with a new heavyweight champ, and the new title-holder would be Cowler. It having been recalled that Jack Johnson once was a Portland visitor, and that as early as 1903, when he was here, he was picked as a coming champ, there seems to be some hope for Cow ler when, the same dopesters say that he will develop into a better man than Johnson was at the zenith of his box ing career. While Johnson has been called the best heavyweight boxer who ever donned a mitt. Cowler's admirers think big Tom better. Cowler is faster than Johnson ever was and has the same way of toying with an opponent that made the big "smoke' famous. Eddie Flannigan, one of the cleverest boxers seen in the Portland four-round amateur bouts, left during the week for Dallas, Or. He will have charge of a large dairy at that place and will for sake the boxing game for the present. Ralph Gruman seems to have got off to a flying start in New York. He has annexed every battle he has fought so far. Charlie White, the Chicago light weight champion contender, bad a hard time explaining to his Chicago admirers lust what happened when he bumped up against Jimmy Duffy, the Buffalo boy. Willie Ritchie isn't half as unpopular as he was before he came back and administered a drubbing to Freddie Welsh and Johnny Griffiths. Spokane has discovered a boxer who is larger than Jess Willard. He is a trainman by profession and stands a half inch taller than the giant Kansan, He weighs 222 pounds stripped and in tends learning a few fine points of the arena game and later will get into action against some of the lesser heavyweight stars. He is Lou Bodle. Aberdeen Has Semi-Pro Team. ABERDEEN. Wash.. April 17. (Spe cial.)" Organization of a semi-profes sional baseball team for Aberdeen has been completed by William Eaton and N. V. Conklin, and the club will play at home every week that the Black Cats are on the road. The first game will be played tomorrow at Elma. Other games will be against Central ia, Che halis, Tono, Montesano, Olympla and possibly with railroad teams in Tacoma and Portland. The lineup for the team is similar to that which played ama teur baseball in Aberdeen last season. TENXIS CLUBS BEIXG FORJMTED Southwestern "Washington Tourney at Grays Harbor Projected. ABERDEEN, Wash.. April 17. (Spe cial.) Organization of tennis clubs in Aberdeen and Montesano are under way and as soon as these are organized they will Join with Elma and Hoquiam clubs in holding a southwestern tour nament on Grays Harbor. Each club will have about 30 members, and a reg ular schedule of games will be played during the Summer. Among the cities which will be in vited to participate in the southwest tournament will be Elma, Montesano, Aberdeen, Hoquiam. Chehalis, Centralis and Olympla. DUE'S HAND IS HEAVY STRICT REGULATIONS FOR MNB VIE WITH THOSE OF GRIDIRON. FIGHT LAW IS READY Council Probably Will Act on Measure This Week. MEDAL GIVING IS ALLOWED Slightest Dissipation Untolerated. Most of Time Given to Develop Strength In Batting. UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON, Seattle, April 17. (Special.) Any ques tion as to whether Coach Dobie would inflict upon bis squad of ballplayers the same spartan regulations that the grid iron men lived, up to has been dispelled. He does. When the tall Scot first took charge of baseball at Washington, he found the same happy-go-lucky manner of training that preceded his advent as a football coach. The first requisite for a ballplayer, according to Dobie, was that each man should, be on the field every day on time. Even the slightest forms of dissipa tion, late hours and other violations of the best training rules are not tol erated, by Dobie. To antagonize the coach is to make life miserable for oneself and the baseball team fast is learning that few infractions escape his notice. Dobie has taken this squad and grad ually is getting it to hustle and. work all the time it is on the field. The coach has had poor material to work with. He can scarcely hope to com pete with some of the teams in the conference this year, but he is build ing up a squad that will know how to get into the game lots quicker in seasons to come. His batters are weak and he passes hours with the men at this angle of the game alone. In spite of the handicaps that Dobie has had to start with he is expected to form a winning team and if train ing methods of the gridiron will bring out the talent in a ballplayer Dobie's system should, produce a champion ship. SAIjEM track to be hvesed Mrs. Wcathcrred, of the State Fair Board, Would Make Course Better. SALEM, Or., April 13. (Special.) We are going to have the fastest and best race course at the state fair grounds in the West," declared Mrs. Edith Tozier Weathered, member of the State Fair Board today, after a crew of men had been put to work putting the course In condition. "Here after we shall keep the track in fine shape throughout the year, .and make it and the fair grounds real show places. Many persons are attracted to the grounds at various seasons when the fair is not being held, and we want them to like the place so well they will comment uupon it favorably, no matter where they go. That will be a big advertisement for our fair. "The race course at Lexington, Ky., is said to be - about the best in the country, but we hope when we get through with the work now planned that ours will be as good as that," Mrs. Weathered has long been inter ested in horses, and the other mem bers of the board, readily agreed to her suggestion that the track be put In prime condition.
