My low- rent prices on GOLF TRAINS SOUTHERNER Ix)9 Angeles Man Says Scotchmen Have Developed Greatest Game lor Building Cp Body. SUIT -THE SUNDAY - OREGOXUN, PORTLAND, JUNE 1, 1919. Walter Miller, worlfi middleweight wrestling king, ,and wrestling Instruc tor at the Los Angeles Athletic club, will arrive in Portland today to com plete training for his finish match with Ted Thye at the Heilig theater Wednesday night. Charles Keppen, manager of the Southern California Institution, will accompany Miller, Like Willie Ritchie, the ex-champion lightweight boxer. Miller trains chiefly by playing golf. In the past two years Walter has played so much at the ancient Scotch pastime that he now turns in cards in the 70s. "I can appreciate how much Ritchie was assisted by the same," write Miller, "for since I have taken it up I cannot understand how I neglected playing long ago. Golf Benefits Recited. "Golf made me arise early to the morning to get advantage of the early morning air. It has helped me keep my weight down and improved my wind and all around condition. Take It from me, it' 3 the best game ever Invented. The professional here (Los Angeles) had a hard task with me at first, but of late I have been playing rigrnt along with him. Ted Thye, the Spokane boy whom Mike II- Butler believes is the great est middleweight in the world, has been whipping himself Into the pro verbial "pink" for the past three months, and is confident that he can defeat the champion. He and Miller have wrestled twice before. They went to a lengthy draw on one oc casion, with the champion receiving decision in the second encounter, which took place In ban Francisco. Good Preliminaries, Too. There will be two good preliminaries Wednesday night, the first one com mencing at 8:30 P. M. The men will weigh In at 158 pounds at 1 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, which will give Thye the advantage, as he is heavier than the champion. The grapplers will tangle for the best two out of three falls, catch-as-catch-can style. If the match Is not concluded by midnight It will be stopped and a de cision given by the referee. Portland fans are strong for Miller, although Thye Is not without his supporters. Promoter Butler was unable to say last night whether or not Miller's Police Gazette belt, emblematic of the world's middleweight wrestling crown, would be at stake. He will thresh this out with Miller today. a Jimmy Duffy and Frankle Burns will crap four rounds at Emeryville, Cal. July 4. Duffy has fired Frank Pacassl as his manager and returned to the fold of "Traveling Tommy" Simpson. When Burns was training for his last few contests before entering the service, which earned him to the bat tlefields of France, Duffy was his spar ring partner and pupil. Battling Ortega seems to have lost "his old popularity around San Fran cisco, and through no fault of his own. The customers blamed the match maker for feeding the battler a pair of eet-ups in Salinas, Jack Robinson and Joe Coughlan. J Ira Londos, who has resided in Canton, O., for the past three years. defeated Pete Visser of Ogden at the latter city the other night in what reports say was an interesting wrest ling match. Visser won the first fall in 26 minutes and 5 seconds, and Lon dos the second In 35 minutes. Phy sicians refused to allow Visser to finish. Reports from Boise, Idaho last Mon day night told of Konstantine Romanoff of Omaha, heavyweight wrestler, defeating Nick Decourt of Los Angeles In two straight falls. Decourt Is none other than Nick Daviscourt, who wrestled as an amateur boy for the Multnomah Ama teur Athletio club. Eddie J. CConnell, wrestling Instruc tor at the Multnomah Amateur Ath letio club, is of the opinion that Walter Miller will defeat Ted Thye when they meet at the Heilig theater Wednesday night, although he predicts that Thye will give Miller a hard run for his money.

Seventy-five thousand trout have been planted in the small streams tributary to Gales creek in this locality, the fish coming from the hatchery at Bonneville. These fish are Intended to replenish the streams for next year's fishing. The Forest Grove Commercial club is making an effort to secure the location of a hatchery at or near Gales creek to supply the fish for all streams in this section of the state. Application will be made to Governor Olcott to recommend to the Fish . commission that a hatchery be located in this vicinity, as there are many fishing streams In this section of Oregon.

For three weeks band running he has been the main eventer In the Oakland mu nicipal auditorium shows held under the management of Tommy Simpson, who is likewise the manager of Ortega True enough. Ortega has had noth ing difficult to tackle In the way of opponents. However, he is quite a popular idol with the Oakland fans and as long as he wins they are satisfied. His Butte. Mont, engagement fell by the wayside and the Battler is con tented to pick up what coin he can with the small chaps of the ring game, Martin Denny, one-time Australian featherweight, who made his home for so long In Portland and more recently came to California, has finally settled in Napa. Martin went to Princeton by-the-sea, which is not far from Half Moon bay In San Mateo county, and conducted a hotel there Also he had training quarters for fighters. But Martin had an opportunity to dispose of that property at a profit to himself. . In consequence he sold ou and Is now located In the hotel game in Napa, where he plans to remain. OXE-DAr TOtJRXEYS PROPOSED &eporta Pram Almost Art Sections of Kortliwest Indicate Condi v tions Are Favorable. Fishing fa all streams throughout Washington and Oregon shows much improvement over last week, although heavy rain for a day or two raised some of the streams, with consequent set-back to good fishing conditions. A flock of local anglers left for their favorite haunts yesterday with more going today and early tomorrow morning.

The squabble of the promoters that Incipient row between Louis Pa rente of the Coliseum on the one hand and the allies of Dreamland rink on the other has resulted in some good, at least. Captain of Police Dan O'Brien called the rivals into conference last week and when he had finished with them they certainly had a clearer idea of what's what and Just what Is ex pected of them. The four-round fight censor didn't mince mattera. He gave the boys a good going over and when he was finished, ordered them out of his office. First and foremost, there Is to he a reform, so far as the medals are con cerned. They must hew to the mark, let the chips fall where they may.

And If he doesn't he will be barred from future engage ments. - - - - The one loser In all the wrangle seems to. be. Johnny. Ray. the Pittsburg lightweight. Both sets of promoters insisted that they had signed Ray for last week. O'Brien decided the best thing to do wouia oe to Dar ivay. ne was allowed to meet Earl Baird last Thursday night for Louis Parente and was told that after that match he would have to leave for other parts. . New Featherweight Champion. We have a new featherweight In our midst and a champion at that. Jimmy Hill, featherweight champion of Aus tralia, and. still further, recommended by. the fact that he is a brotlitr-ia-law of Fanny Durack. the noted Sydney swimmer, came into San Francisco the first part of the week. Hill is all alone, his wife and baby deciding to remain at home while he was in the U. S. A. Jimmy won his championship five years ago by knock ing out Joe Russell. Ever since then he has successfully defended his title and has, among others, beaten two American lads, Harry Thomas and Lee Johnson, the colored scrapper. He says the game Is mighty slow In the Antipodes and that he has come to America to see what he can do for himself. It Is well within the possibili ties that he will box In the San Fran cisco four-round game and that later he will betake himself to the east to see what there la in store for himself. Decision Was Close One. Muff Bronaon, the Portland boy. did not make a showing the other night when he boxed Lee Johnson. You will remember that some time back In Port land be knocked out Lee Johnson In what was rather a spectacular engage ment. The same boys were rematehed for the Louis Parente show, Johnson claim ing that his knockout wai more or less of a fluke. And he rather redeemed himself by winning over Bronson. It was somewhat of a close decision, but he won. nevertheless. Big Fight Makes X.irtle Interest. So far as I can learn San Francisco isn t exactly going wild over the Demo sey-Willard fight in Toledo. The match is just about a month off at the pres ent writing, and aside from the dyed-in-the-wool fight fans no one seems to be going crazy about it. As a matter of fact, while Dempsey is rather regarded as the chap who is going to win, not very much was thought about Willard. He was never held up In this western country as a champion of champions, and there will be no great stir if ha is beaten. Fight followers, of course, are going to be glad of the news, but they will accept it without any great stir. The best proof is that Spider Kelly, who was offered the Job of training Dempsey. and who, by the way, is a close friend of the challenger, had to decline The Spider naturally puts his declination on the ground of a busi ness engagement. But the truth prob ably is that Kelly doesn't feel it all important and that he can well afford to stay at home. Flnkman Refused to Fight Eddie Brewster Pinkman has as bad a standing in and around Los Angeles as he won for himself in San Francisco. The Seattle boxer was rated as any thing but a fighter during the shows he staged here. - Then he went-to Ver non and his match- with Herb Brodie was called a "no-contest" affair. The truth, as gleaned from the southern pa Suggestion, Made That "Wednesday Matches Be Thrown Open. In the events scheduled for 1S19. golf clubs should consider giving a one-day open tournament a place on their pro gramme The custom of golfers taking a mid-week holiday for a round or two of golf, preferably Wednesday, Insure a big entry list, on these mid-week holidays four-ball matches are very popular. Why not once a year bring to aether at each club a large field an 18-hole medal play handicap. Clubi that do not hold the larger open tourn ments Bhould welcome a one-day ope tournament. Whilst medal play competition Is us ually in two-ball matches, for thl tournament it could be played in four- ball matches. The many trade associa tions In their one-day medal play tournament play in foursomes. If few clubs will list an event of thl character, the other clubs In large golf ing centers will follow. It will com bine the mid-week golf holiday tourna mailt competition and the pleasure of playing a different course every week. Groups of players can arrange thel matches for these tournaments from week to week. Four-ball matches 1 one-day medal play tournaments will foster good fellowship among golfer promote the welfare of the game and permit the course to hold more players. Men of affairs who enjoy golf, bu cannot afford the time and energy fo three-day tournament play, would wel come a mid-week competition limited to 18 holes. Each club would schedule one-day handicap sometime betwee May and October so there could be on every week, Wednesday being prefer able The additional daylight hour extend the playing time so that all could fin Ish, in fact, most players could get 1 two rounds. Clubs should give thl one-day tournament a trial, as all golfers will enjoy the pleasure of visit ing courses other than their own an the sest that open competition gives to the game.

Interest In the events Increase. Each day George Philbrook, coach and man ager of the Multnomah Amateur Ath letic club track and field team is re celvine assurances of new entries from various institutions throughout the northwest and Pacific coast. Among the colleges and universities to be represented are the University of Oregon. Oregon Agricultural college, Washington State college, the Univer sity of Washington. Whitman college. University of Idaho and the University of Montana. Cities that will be rep resented by club teams are Seattle, Spo kane, Vancouver. B. CL, and rortiana with probable entries' from San Fran cisco. Georee Philbrook Is now In toucn with the Spokane Athletio club ani Is endeavoring to get the Inland empire institution to line u one of the strong est teams in the country to send to the P. N. A. meet. With the University of Idaho, the University of Montana. Whit man college. Gonzaga college and its local talent to draw from the Spokane Athletic club could muster one of the best teams on the coast. H. Williams, sensational sprinter of the Spokane Athletic club who ran the 100 yards in 9 4-6 seconds at the far western championships in San Diego on August 20. 1916, has written Philbrook that he is conditioning himself and Intends to enter the P. N. A- champion ships. He did not say In the letter what organisation he would represent, but it is likely that he will compete under the colors of the Spokane Ath letic club. e e While all of the colleges and univer sities mentioned may not have full teams entered because of the lateness of the date the best of the athletes of each will be on hand for championship honors. Some great marks are being set In both track and field events throughout the northwest this season, which stimulates interest tn the coming meet. With such men as H. Williams of Spokane, Foster of Oregon, Carter and Snook of Oregon Agricultural col lege. Arthur Tuck of Redmond. Ralph Thayer of Multnomah club, Richmond of Idaho, Dailey of Washington avail able for the sprints there should be some events worth traveling miles to see. Tuck. Richmond. Carter and Will lams have marks of 10 flat or less In the 100 while Dailey. Snook and Foster have turned the distance in 10 1-5. Neither Vere Wlndnagle nor "Mose" Payne, the two Multnomah Amateur Athletic athletes named by the cham- I pionship committee of the American Athletic Union to make the trip to France to compete in the inter-allled games next month, will be able to cross the pond for the event. As the team is scheduled to leave the United States on June 3 they could hardly make ar rangements in time to enter. Both will be on hand for the P. N. A. meet on June 14 and the Pacific coast champion ships iu Tacoraa in July. Wlndnagle and Payne are both in good condition after several months of consistent training and if they do not set some new marks in their specialties it will be a sur prise. A five-mile run will be one of the features of the P. N. A. and It la likely that both Windnagle and Payne will enter. If Windnagle runs the 440. S80 and mile he may not take on the five mile event. Payne Is an assured en, try In the five-mile grind and Is out to break the Pacific coast record. As an added attraction at the P. N. A meet Philbrook is arranging to hold a set of relay races for grammar and high school teams. A handsome cup will be up for each winning team. Ralpb T7n d erwood Returns. Ralph Underwood, the 125-pound Pa cific coast amateur boxing champion, who fought under the colors of the Multnomah club before the war, has been mustered out of the service and Is working out at the club the past week.
