A good deal of talk has been going

ball league, and a meeting in the near
future may make It a fact Instead of a
fancy. Six of the shipyards have al

hare teams if a league Is organized,
and without a doubt a football league
would be even more successful from a
financial standpoint than the baseball
circuit. There Is no limit to the Hum
ber of college, university, high school
and club stars that could be brought to

and It should be an easy matter to put
at least six teams of college and club

large crowds always attend and a good-

held the strong Cornfoot nine to three
scattered hits last Sunday. His wild-
ness, however, lost the game for him.
Wayne Barham will twirl for the
lowly St. Johns nine. Wayne has some
thing on the ball besides his two fin

terror to the opposing batters.
Peninsula will try to hold the heavy-
hitting McCormlck crew to a low
score. The former has been going like
a house afire and with Harstad pitch
ing the greatest game of his career,
has been taking the measure of every
shipbuilders team In tbe league in good
fashion.
Peninsula. however, has been
strengthened by tbe addition of Nick
Williams, former Spokane manager,
and Ritter. former Buckaroo second
sacker. and should a new pitcher be
added to the staff, Buck Keith's crew
would give all the teams in the league
a big scare.
Cornfoot and Standlfer, the two teams
tied for second place, will meet this
afternoon at Vaughn street In the ban
ner game of the day. Each team will
have a host of rooters and each one is
confident of a victory. "String-Bean"
PUlett will be on the mound for Standl

the Columbia has been taking his med
icine regularly. He Is a puzzle, how

. TALK AT CAMP LEWIS.
Ex-Major Leaa-uera Shins' on Both

Team and Shipyard Boys.
CAMP LEWIS, American Lake,
Wash.,' Aug. 10. (Special.) Fans
throughout the Northwest still are
talking about the sensational . 20-ln-nlng
baseball game between the All-Army-Navy
team and the All-Shipyard
aggregation in Seattle two weeks ago
and many letters have been pouring in
the headquarters of each aggregation
asking that a return engagement be
staged.
While nothing definite has seen done,
August 24 at Seattle has been suggest
ed and athletic directors on both sides
are looking with favor on the proposi
tion.'" The last game resulted in what
might be termed as a "lucky" I-to-1
win for the shipworkers, but they won't
have a ehance, say the young soldier
and- sailor' athletes, when they clash
again, ,
Ex-major leaguers are listed on both
teams and the caliber of ball displayed
in the 20-inning fracas was better than
any that has been seen on the Pacific
Coast In several seasons. Both contin
gents worked from start to finish and
it was a thrilling battle to watch, being
filled with sensational plays and base-
runnnig. '
If the teams clash, "Scotty" Reuther,
unttl recently known as "Dutch," in all
probability will be on the mound for
the men in the Army-Navy service. The
nickname "Scotty" was given to Reu
ther by a Canadian baseball fan sev
eral weeks ago when Reuther led a
team from Camp Lewis against a Van
couver, B. C, lineup. At a critical time
in the contest this particular baseball
bug yelled "Atta boy, Scotty" at Reu
ther, and it has stuck ever since. The
soldier fan up North didn't have the
nerve to call Reuther "Dutch," and we
can't blame him.
In the 20-inning game McHenry, for
mer Cincinnati Red, worked for the
shipworkers and. he went tbe full limit,
as did Malls.

agree to go to Portland for another
show of the same sort.
Fast Beya'oa List. '
Having randed Dempsey, so to speak.
Evans plans on using Frank Farmer
as the other end of the show. He says
that while Dempsey figures to beat
Farmer, still the fans will like to aee
Frank step.
Also. Bobby would like to take a
number of boys well known in the
Northwest. First he wants Sailor
Georgle Brandon, who has been mak
ing such a hit hereabouts. Then he
would like to call on Spider Roche.
Jimmy Duffy, of Oakland, who has Just
turned sailor, and several other boys.
"In Portland," said Evans. In ex
planation, "we have had no great big
Red Cross show. I think it's a shame
that it has been neglected, but as long
as the other boys haven't taken any
steps, I'm perfectly willing to step into
the breach.
S13.OO0 Is Bam Sengkt,
"I have it all doped out that Portland
ought to contribute at least 115.000 to
the Red Cross. I'm eager to donate
my time, though I would very much
like to have Jim Coffroth make the
trip to Portland for the last three or
four days and give us the benefit of
what he knows. It would be the big
gest boost In the world to have the top
notch promoter of them all lend us his
presence and his advice.
But the rub comes in getting a fur
lough. So far Corporal Ardiss has not
been successful. But he has friends at
work trying to Impress the officers at
Camp Fremont with the Importance of
the commission, and there is still a
chance that something will come of It,
see
The San Francisco benefit show like
ly will see Jack Dempsey matched with
Willie Meehan. Coffroth had his mind
all set to land Jess Willard. But the
latter absolutely refused to play In our i
backyard.
Jimmy Rohan, a former Oakland i
fight promoter, who has been co-oper
ating with Coffroth in the-attempt to
get Willard, sent Judge William Geary,
his own attorney, back to Lawrence,
Kan., where Willard has his farm.
Judge Geary conferred with Willard
the close of the week and then sent
Rohan a telegram that told us there
was no chance. He said Jess Willard
refused to box Dempsey and particular
ly in San Francisco; that he was "sore'
on this city and afraid ha would be
double-crossed.
Just why Willard figures he might be
double-crossed Is a hard question to
answer. It's not so hard to reason out
why he doesn't want to come to San
Francisco.
The big fellow bad two matches here
both of them In the Summer of 191s,
when be was under the management
of Tom Jones. The first was a 20
round mill with Gunboat Smith. The
decision was given to Smith, though it
would have been a pretty good draw.
Also Willard, had he forced the issue.
might have knocked Smith out.
On top of that, the then four-round
fight promoters got after Willard and
booked him for a short-round encoun
ter with Charlie Miller, the giant mo
torman. Miller held Willard to a draw,
and It was chiefly because Jess, who
then didn't even dream he would ever
win the title, simply wouldn't take a
chance.
And on top of that, as the story goes,
Jim Coffroth, when he was in New
York City, gave forth an interview in
the course of which he is said to have
referred to Willard as the "big bum.
Putting it all together, there's little
wonder, perhaps, that Willard shies at
San Francisco.
Of course, he is using all this as so
much camouflage. Big Jess, since the
war started, hasn't made a move to
help out. and there's no reason to be
lieve he will start In at this late date.
Billy Gibson has just written a letter
to Jimmy Coffroth in which he has all
sorts of praise for Jack Dempsey.
Coming from a man as well known as
Gibson. It counts for a whole lot, too..
He says: . .
"Jack Dempsey shapes up as one of
the greatest light heavyweights that
ever donned a glove, and this takes in
Bob Fitssimmons. He seems to have
everything that a fighter needs to be
a great fighter, including speed and
hitting power."
Which. I'll tell the world, la pretty
much of a boost for any boy. When
you commence to comparing Dempsey
with Fitssimmons, we all have to sit up
and take notice.
e e
So it will have to be Willie Meehan
against Dempsey. Coffroth put the
proposition to Meehan by letter before
he left San Diego and today had a wire
from the sailor, in which he said ha
would be dee-lighted or tickled toi
either Labor day or Admission day. Un
less Dempsey Is tied up with theatrical
work. It's quite likely one of these
dates will be selected for the big show.
Chester J. Smith, former sporting
writer and now publicity director for
the Red Cross, this division, who has
Just returned from an Eastern trip,
says that the baseball game in both of
the major leagues la ready for the
mothballs.
Smith saw a National Leag-ue game
at the Polo Grounds between the Giants
and the Pittsburg Pirates. Though
men in uniform were admitted free of
charge, he says there were not 1200
spectators.
Then he went to Chicago. Walter
Johnson, one of the greatest pitchers
If not. the greatest In the game, was
billed to work against the White Sox.
And yet a poll of-the house showed no
more than 800 fans in attendance.
"That shows to what an extent base'
ball has fallen off," said Smith. "It's
ready for the discard. They will play
the world series, l suppose, out it will
be a big joke, with nobody caring
which team wins or NIor any of the
details.1
The f lstlo sport, he says, is very much
on the toboggan. Fulton and Dempsey,
while not directly fighting tor the
title, made up a big fight. And yet the
match that it had been predicted would
draw $30,000 fell away to less than
118,000. The fighters themselves were
paid something like $9000 apiece and
the promoters were the losers.
The days of big houses seem to have
gone by the wayside. Johnson and
Willard didn't gather as much as it
was thought the match would produce.
Hereafter you will find promoters rath
er chary of offering big guarantees to
the scrappers.
A lot of the experts think that after
the war there will be a revival of box
ing. They base this on the ground that
lot of fellows have been taught how
to box who never saw a boxing glove
in the old days. Perhaps they are
right. But for the period of the war
the prospects are anything but en
couraging.
Jimmy Duffy, the pride of Oakland,
has enlisted In the Navy. Ever since
Duffy returned home from the North
west he has been eager to do something
for his country. His parents discour
aged him and thought he should wait
unttl he came of age. But Jimmy was
to be denied no longer. Last week.
Just after he had been beaten by Harry
Pelslnger, Jimmy went to the Navy re
cruiting station . and enlisted. Of
course, he will be available Just so long
as he Is in this section.
Battling Ortega Is finally at home
after his Montana fight, in which he
won from Leo Bens on a foul. The
Battler's mother, who had been living
In Los Angeles, died while he was
away, and he went to southern Califor
nia before he returned here. Both Or-
era and Slmpeon say the foul was a
deliberate one and that Bens took that
means of preventing a knockout be

and the pacers 213.
Last week at Columbus Murphy con

keeps up the clip for a few weeks
longer some clever paragrapher will
refer to it as "the Murphy circuit."
With 63 starts he has won 23 races,
while of the others 11 finished second.
Six third, three fourth, while 10 were
unplaced. Chilcoot won his first race

First to Finish in Long; Distance Event
tn the Olympic Games In London
U 1908.
Johnny Hayes, who a few years ago
swept across the Atlantic sky as a
star of the first magnitude when he
won the marathon race at the Olymplo
games in London, Is anxious to do
his bit in the war by serving as a
Knights of Columbus secretary over
seas.
Until 1908. Hayes, clerking in a New
York department store had done noth
ing to signalize himself. Then came
the Olymplo Games and Hayes became
world-wide celebrity when he was
first to breast the tape In the famous
marathon. Incidentally he wore the
colors of the Irish-American Athletic
Club. New York City. It was the first
marathon In the Olympic Games ever
won by a runner from this country.
What he liked to do best of all was
to train young runners so they, too,
some day, might bring additional glory
to the ranks or American runners. His
advice, as director of physical training,
has been sought by many and he is
now engaged in supervising the phy
sical-training of students at North
Bergen, N. J., under the direction of
tbe Board of Education. Many of the
young men In the American Army
abroad, now doing a marathon chasing
Huns owe their ability to "stick"
through long wearisome marches to
Hayes' advice.
