Ona of the best possible matches on the flstle calender la a contest between in world s lightweight champion, Hennr Leonard, and the world welter woia-nt champion. Ted "Kid" Lewis. Ifa match that would draw a capacity "Rate" any place. Wherever It would be staged !t would be a knockorer. While It would be a handicap affair to a certain extent, for Lewis out weighs Leonard aereral pounds when in the best of shape, the latter ap pears to outclass hla rlrals ao far that he baa to go out of his division to meet competition worthy of his steel. Kvsr since Leonard defeated Freddie Welsh and won the lightweight cham pionship. Lewis, or rather his manager, Jimmy Johnston, has been seeking this Catch. Maaager Art at Oats. The one and biggest obstacle to the consummation of it has been the per sonal enmity that exists between Jenny's manager. Billy Gibson, and Sohnston. For certain reasons these two are at loggerheads. Gibson refuses to give Johnston or his battlers a chance to make any money through him and Leonard Is aver more determined In backing Hilly up. It la a personal squabble, pare and simple, but, anyway, l.ibson and Johnaton are at daggers end. Appreciating the differences between 1 i -V . " - : . i "V : ! .. K . : I- I ft " ' I . i , ! ; . !

Johnston' haa come W 1 W out with a proposition which seems to lvel all discriminations. Briefly, John ston makes the offer for Lewis to box match to go to the fund of the "Train- Fighters From California Out- Ing Camp Activities Commission, the lied Cross, or any other war charity. Jehaataa Oatllaea rrpaltlaa. Johnston outlines his proposition In the following letter, and. on the face. It ppears to be a proposition that Leonard might well accept dtspite the personal Xeud between Johnston and his man ager and his obligations of -uniform. The mutch would draw many thousands of do:ir and would be of Inestimable benefit to the "ruD-of-the-mill" boya In khiki. Johnston s letter reada: "Ted Lewis, the world's welterweight champion. Insists upon Benny Leonard, the lightweight champion, meeting him in a . 1') or 20-round contest, the en tire receipts to go to the "Training Camp Activities Commission, or any charitable organization that has the wrlfare of the soldiers and sailors at lieart. Iwia does not want one cent for hi services. "This contest win surely draw 110. 0. if not more. Leonard cannot say that I am the stumbling block no' f-o one but the soldiers will benefit through this content. So. come on. Kenny, no more bluffs: make good your boast that you want to do something for I'nele fra'i boys. You have re peatedly said that If Johnston did not manage Lewis or Joe elltng you would box them. ell. here'a your ehar.ee for you to make good. Twenty thousand dollars or more would help many of the boy Give them enough paraphernalia to get long for some time. You can glvs no reason why you will not accept the rnatrh.

The former haa been fighting for 21 years, while the colored heavy wetrht haa been at It close on to that t.me.

Twenty feet away stood Nelson. "Who's that colored guyr asked ftson of some friends. The words cam a a surprise, but "Bat" was In earnest. -Why. that's Sara Langford." was the answer.

In a driving rain atorm last week r.tulolph Wllhelm. Oregon Stats and Pacific Northwest golf champion, with Wili;am OotellU defeated Heinle Schmidt and Forrest Watson In a four b.il match at the Waverley Country Club, four up In the morning and two bp la the afternoon. class Local Battlers. BRONSON SOLE SURVIVOR Muff, Battling- Hoppo to. Stand' till. Show That at Least One Boxer Here Is Able to Uphold Ilonors of Northwest. Portland fight fans have started to notice the auccessful Invasion Cali fornia fighters havs made on Port land's array of fistic talent. Willie Hoppe. th San Franclaco lightweight, was th first rlngster to display his warea before a local ring audience alnce th fight gam waa placed on a sound footing in this city Hoppe. who Is a tough nut for any fighter, found tougher sledding in Portland arena than did any of th others from th south. Muff Bronson foaght th California lightweight to a standstill and while th decision went against him h was entitled to a draw. Hoppe Is con sidered on a par with Joe Rivera. The next lad from California to lm' press local fight followers was Johnny McCarthy and he settled tbe pugilistic asplrationa of Fred Gilbert, th butcher wagon driver of Bend. Or., In three rounds. Gilbert waa no match at all for McCarthy and Johnny could have taken him down th ladder of fame with on arm tied to his sld. Beajasala "Hesse Owtekly. Th llghtnlng-qutck ending of the Rivers-Benjamin bout la still fresh In the minds of fight fans. Benjamin was knocked senseless by Rivers in 1 sec onds. After paying their hard-earned coin to see th Mexican boy they were sorely disappointed when Rivers, with wicked right-hand crash on Benja min's jaw. knocked him clear through th ropes, and In another few seconds knocked him cold. The fourth California miller to spill th "Llmaa" waa FransJ Farren. of San Francisco, who put a stop to the meteoric rise of Alex Trambltae by knocking him stiff In th second round of th Golden West Athletic Clubs smoker at the Eleventh-Street Play house last Friday night. L'ntll the tlm Farren placed a right-1 cross squarely on the point of Tram bltaa' Jaw the latter held Farren even. It appeared to ba any one's fight the way th boys went at It until Farren finally knocked Trambltas out. And after all Is said and done Muff Bronson was the only lightweight to uphold th honors of the Northwest against th Callfornlans. He battled Hoppa to a standstill, and would give Farren the battle of his life. Th next fighter from the Bay City to appear before a Portland fight au dience will be Battling Ortega, who Is scheduled to clash with Al Sommers in th main bout of the Columbia Club smoker. Wednesday night. January 23 at the Eleventh-street Playhouse. Ortega Highly Rad. Ortega Is In his prime as a fighter and, according to fistic experts of tbe south. Is destined to wear the middle weight crown. Ortega has beaten Frank Barrleau. Al McCoy, Valley Trambltas and Dick Wella and fought a draw with Ted Lewis. He Is unques tlonably th best fighter of his weight sver turned out In California and will make Sommers extend himself to win or even hold Ortega even. Al Sommers has an. awkward style while In the ring, but he has never been beaten except by Mike Glbbon.s, In an exhibition bout last year, which went six rounds. Bommera has steadily Improved and his battle with Chet Mclntyre at Seat tle, laat Wednesday night, stamps him as a hard nut to crack. According to all of th Seattle papers Sommers had a shade over Mclntyre, who claims the heavyweight championship of the Coast. The fact that Sommers went out of his class to fight Mclntyre shows that hs possesses the courage. Centralia Wins Debate. CENTRA LI A, Wash., Jan. 12. (Spe cial.)

Krankle Farren. he got a setback which will mean a hard and bitter re covery to the round In the ladder of fame he held In the eyes of Portland s boxlns; fans. Trambltas was a comer. True he may come back, but he won't for some time. When that stinging punch from Farren sent ths Portland pride of If years through the ropes and to the floor the first time, not only dazing tbe youngster, but costing him full control of himself, plainly to ba seen by anyone near the ringside, then was the time for Fahle and the seconds to call a halt and save the boy. 'They owed It to him. They have seen him come up from a youngster full or am bition and one too greatly confident In bis own ability. But It was another case of being pushed too fast. He went Into the ring irlday nlgbt with Mr. Overconfidence. Truly. It was a good match from tbe financial viewpoint, both for Fahle and Tiambllaj. but batter lor Farren. U not only added another scalp to his belt, but placed himself In favor of more good matches, worth goodly fig ures. In the Pacific Northwest arena, but Trambltas wss too young, too new, to be put up against so experienced a man as Farren. Ring generalship means much nowadays. Farren hasn't seen so many gloves In bis Ufa In any two-round bout In which he ever participated as he did in that first round snd the fore part of the second round Friday night at the Kleventh-Street Playhouse. Trambltas waa coming fast. He jabbed the San Franclaco boy at will, but all the time Farren was trying to locate the fatal blow. The first round gave Trambltas more confidence than he already had before entering the ring, previous bouta here In which he had won, and easily, .too, being a greater incentive to put across another and "show up" the boy from the south. He bad aa much chance as Joe Benjamin did against Joe Rivers, only Farren had a much more clever opponent, and It took him. a little longer to carry out tils purpose. But here's hoping tbe Portland boy has not lost himself entirely, for he can't win every time, and it goes with out saying he Is clever with his mitts and la deserving of more attention and closer application on the part of his manager.

FAST BOAT IS PROMISED CRAFT CAPABLE OF SPEEDING MILES AN HOUR IN SIGHT. 100 Michigan Builder, Who Produced "Miss Detroit II," Hopes to Win New Laurels in 1018. Progress In almost every lino of en deavor has been so astonishingly rapid during the past three war-torn years that "big figures" cease to arouse the overworked imagination of the ordi nary individual. Nevertheless no boat man of this city can read that 100 miles an hour on the water Is In prospect for 1918 without feeling that the "impossi ble" soon may be realized. President A. L. Judson, of the Amer ican Power Boat Association, produced boat In 1917, "Whip-po-Will, Jr.," which made a mile in the East at the rate of 70.15 miles an hour during pri vate trials in November. This is sev eral miles an hour faster than the off! cial record held by "Miss Detroit II. Now Chris. C. Smith, of Algonac, Mich., builder of "Miss Detroit II, and all tlje other world champions of recent years, declares he is prepared to pro duce 100 miles an hour during 1918 and thus Insure rentention of the world championship title -in the West. One of the features of the National Motor Boat Show In Grand Central Pal ace, New York City, January 19 to 29. will be exhibits of the type of motors which will drive these wonderful boats. In fact, the very motor Smith plans to use In his 100-mller will be one of the features of the big National show, al though for the present the identity of this marvelous piece of machinery is being kept dark. It is safe to assuirfe that if Smltn produces the promised speed. Western boatmen will get the first chance to see it, for Smith has made practically all of his world records In Western waters and many of them at the races held un der the auspices of the Mississippi Val ley Power Boat Association. This latter organization has 44 asso ciated clubs in the Mississippi Valley states, with an aggregate membership of more than 5000 boatmen. Hundreds of these motorboat enthusiasts have cil iated in the naval service for the dura tion of the war, but there are plenty left to promise the liveliest contest of years for the 1918 world speed championship.

A new, event will be introduced Into track ath letics in the Western Conference if plans can be carried out successfully. This event will be known as hand gre nade throwing and will be primarily for accuracy, a point not now featured in any of the present track events. Coach Jones, of the Wisconsin track team, has written Dr. A. D. Browne, of O. A. C, for suggestions on the new event which Dr. Browne has been ad vocating recently. The Western Con ference wishes to put hand grenade throwing into its programme of events. Dr. Browne has worked out the event' in this manner: The participant will stand in a four-foot square and throw in 20 seconds five grenades. The throw ing wUl be done as in a trench and will be for accuracy. Another event might supplement this one by being for distance. The hand grenades are about the size of a baseball and are made of cement and weigh 22 ounces. Dr. Browne hopes to interest the Coast schools in this new test. Telegraph Would Save Costs. Track events this year for the entire country will be run off largely by tele graph wires rather than by the old method of having team meet team. The new idea as worked out in the East may be used In all Individual contests with a huge saving of traveling ex penses and time. For instance, a dozen high jumpers in Washington snay compete with a like number in Alabama by simply having the men jump at home and then com paring by wire the scores made by each group, the highest score proclaiming the winner. This method is interest ing the Army men and will be used for competition between camps. Collegiate track largely will give way to Army even-ts in importance. It is probable that colleges will compete by wire also, as this method will be the most patri otic possible and will give an oppor tunity for many contests. Intramural Sports Gain. - The collegiate situation in athletics during the war will be largely intra mural with inter-collegiate contests as stimulus, according to Dr. Browne, who has just returned from a meeting Lof the National Collegiate Conference at New York City. Colleges will be urged to put on a big recreational pro gramme to fit the men for military ser vice rather than to put out a few stars for selfish interests. Since O. A. C. already has a system of intramural athletics with practically every physically ,flt man in some sort of contest, little readjustment will be made, but training will be Intensified along special lines. Student Manager Leach will hold down as much as pos sible all expenses for trips. SPORTSMEN'S CLUB PLANNED Grays Harbor Rod & Gun Club Is Back of Project. ABERDEEN. Wash., Jan. 9. (Spe cial.)
