Weldon Wing, Album Gamester, Re garded by Mike Gibbons as Most Promising Youngster Bron son Goes to Winnipeg. BT HARRY GRAYSON. Mike and Tommy Gibbons, the two world's champions who have been In Portland for the past week, will leave today for Eugene, where they will stage an exhibition before the Elks' Lodge Tuesday night. In the in terim the St. Paul boys will enjoy a fishing trip on the McKenzie River as the guests of Bill Hayward, the trainer at the University of Oregon. Weldon Wing, the little Alblna gamester, came In for some praise at the hands of Mike Gibbons yesterday. Wing served as one of Mike's sparring partners and the phantom thinks Wing is one of the most promising young sters he has ever seen considering his limited experience. Mike has no hesi tancy In predicting that, if Wing is taken along . slowly he will develop Into a high-class boxer. What impressed Gibbons was Wing's wonderful willingness and his great natural speed. Coming from the world's champion, who is the closest student of boxing In the world, this is quite a boost for the Portland youth. "Muff" Bronson left yesterday for Winnipeg where he will hibernate and visit relatives for a few weeks. Joe Flanlgan has completed ar rangements with Dolph Thomas, of the Parkside Club. San Francisco, for an lnter-clty smoker to be staged at the Seal Rocks city May 18. .Al Sommers, Billy Mascot. Wing and Jack Allen will represent Portland. . Billy Mascott Is taking excellent care of himself. Joe Flanlgan, who is going to take him to San Francisco, is en thusiastic over the South Portland Frenchman. He Is predicting that Billy from now on will raise havoc among the bantams. Billy foolishly has been trying to give away too much weight in most of his bouts but from now on, accord ing to Flanigan who claims Mascott can make 118 pounds easily, he will battle boys of his own heft. There are few, if any bantams, who have much on the local boy. Mascott has promised to turn over a new leaf, take care of himself, and when he gets going, watch his smoke. Mike and Tommy Gibbons. Walter Miller, Joe Flanigan and a couple of others were in a downtown restaurant last night for supper. A friend of Flanlgan's came up to the table and whispered in his ear that Mike Gib bons was certainly a husky individual. He was under the impression that Miller was the St- Paul phantom. Joe introduced Miller to his friend as Mike Gibbons. The rest of the crowd immedaitely got wise and all com menced to address the wrestling king as Mike. Miller went through with it beauti fully and put a still better one across by commencing to eat with his knife. As Flanlgan's friend departed he leaned over and whispered: "Gee, but that fellow Gibbons doesn't know much about table etiquette, does he?" Mike Gibbons says he will never for give Miller. Last Tuesday was Walter Miller's 30th birthday. He held an Impromptu birthday party after Tuesday night's bouts. Among those present were Mike and Tommy Gibbons and Eddie Kane. The past week has been a pleasant one for Miller and the Gibbons boys. They had not seen each other for more than five years. Mike and Walter started their careers at the same time. Walter Miller closes his week's work at the Lyric Theater tonight. He has been meeting all comers. Joe Flanlgan and his four Portland boxers will leave Tor San Francisco Tuesday morning. At the Parkside Club's show in the Seal Rocks city Friday night Sommers will battle Jack Downey, of Salt Lake; Wing takes on Kid Bromeo; Mascott scraps Eddie James and Jack Allen swaps punches with Joe White. Harsh and Cgly Adjective Applied to Scrapper Wbo Kled to Get Away From Army Service and Enlisted in V. S. The loud expressions of satisfaction with which the public In Sydney re ceived the news that the Governor of New York had refused to allow the Aus tralian boxer, Darcy, to enter the ring there, afforded some line on the popu lar estimation of Darcy. It will be re membered that when conscription seemed likely this young man, within a few days of his 21st birthday, sud denly disappeared. While his best friends were still de fending him from the charge that he was a "mongrel" and had run away, he was reported In America, and it afterward transpired that he had slipped away from Newcastle on a tramp steamer. Harsh and ugly names have been ap plied to Darcy. He Is a young and healthy man. he had no responsibilities; he is known to be comparatively wealthy, and could have left his mother and young brothers well provided for, yet he sneaked away and left other men to do his fighting for him. He has, however, since enlisted In the aviation corps of the United States Army. Darcy made a miserable mistake. He will always be called a "slacker." He was mishandled or rather mishandled himself when he first arrived In New York. If he had signed up to fight at once and made good he might have never been barred in Gotham. But he hemmed and hawed, turning down Mike Gibbons for a match with Al McCoy after going into vaudeville for a few weeks. Contrary to general reports. Manager Eddie Kane, of the Gibbons boys, and both Mike and Tommy Gibbons declare that Darcy is not an intelligent youth He is clean living and likeable, but not Intelligent, they assert. They say that Darcy would not have been in khaki If left alone. It was said that Darcy had simply been In the hands of a gang of fight promoters, who found him much too profitable to allow him to waste his time on anything bo foolish as war. Eddie' Kane said that this is not true. "When a couple of New York sport ing writers and myself went to see Darcy at Goshen to get him to fight Mike, we talked to Tim O'Sulllvan first. He said he would have to see Darcy, and he was the boss," said Kane when he was here last week. "Darcy is a bull-headed Australian. They say there was a plot to smuggle Darcy to America, and some of the no torious "sports' in Sydney were parties to It. Well, If there was a plot you can bet your bottom dollar that Darcy was the principal plotter himself." It seems a pity that this fine type of fighter, who has not attained the wis dom of years, should have attached to him a stigma that will never leave him. But, If the words of the party from St. Paul can be taken as true, there was no unscrupulous, money-hungry gang which really misled him and which is now escaping calumny. It might be well to add that Mike and -Tommy Gibbons and Eddie Kane have a Nation-wide reputation of be ing on the square and what they say bears a lot of weight. "Muff Bronson left Friday morning to spend three months with his folks In Winnipeg. Bronson will rest up during this period. KERRON WINS OPEN CHASE Xatt McDougall Is Second in Hunt Club's Special Event. Harry M. Kerron, on Chltra, won the special men's open paper chase of the Portland Hunt Club yesterday afternoon.

The lightweight championship Is not changing hands In the East, but a lot of money Is changing hands. Big Frank Kendall, the Portland heavyweight, must have the brown derby handed to him for being a stick er. After being home for a few weeks upon his return from New York, Frank boxed Lowe Simms and was beaten. He was not warmed up to by the fans, but kept going on and today there is hardly a boxer in Portland who has more friends. Checkers. E. H. BRYANT. Editor.

NEWSPAPERS PROMOTE 2 Inland Empire League Managed by Spokesman-Review and Columbia-Willamette Is Handled by Tlie Oregonian. BY PETER P. CARN-EY. PHILADELPHIA. May 12. (Special.) The trapshootlng league Idea I growing like wildfire, especially in the Northwest, where three leagues, each one having 12 clubs, have been formed within the past few weeks. These leagues are known as the Inland Em pire, the Columbia-Willamette and the Northwest Trapshooters' League. The novel thing about two of the leagues is that the promotion was done by newspapers not the clubs and the movement is being fathered by them. The Spokesman-Review, of Spokane. Wash., is conducting the Inland Em pire League and The Portland (Or.) Oregonian is managing the Columbia Willamette League. Both have 12 cities represented in Washington and Oregon, and are conducted along the same lines. The entrance of the newspapers Into trapshooting promotion is a good thing for the sport. The publicity that the newspapers have given to last-ball has made that sport what it te today. The same co-operation with trapshooting will make that sport Just as popular. It Is growing faster than any other sport In America, has more followers today than anj other, and it will con tinue to grow with the aid of the press and public, and always remain the fairest of American sports. The trapshooting organization of the Central and Middle West get on the Job early.
