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

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. The Wisconsin state tour
nament will not be held until late In
July, yet the Wisconsin association al
ready has posted the country with at
tractive card3 announcing the shoot.
These cards have been sent to every
gun club in the country. The pro
gramme is novel, several thousand dol
lars in cash and trophies being offered.
The Minnesota state tournament takes
place at the same time as the Wiscon
sin meet, and the up-and-doing meth
ods of the Wisconsin people have
caused the Minnesota association to
get a move on and plan months ahead.
Both associations expect more than 200
entries. Illinois. Iowa. Kansas and
Missouri expect to do as well. It looks
like a big year in the Middle West.
Jack Graham and W. S. Stannard,
professional trapshots for some time,
are again back with the amateurs.
They were sterling amateurs before
Joining the ranks of the professionals.
