Special event, eight rounds

118 pounds.
Thirty-four rounds of battling will
te dished up to the fistic fans at the
first show of the Portland boxing com
mission at the Heilig theater Friday
night. September 19. Two ten-round
mills, an eight-round special event and
a six-round preliminary will round out
the card with the best known boxers on
the Pacific coast appearing on the ini
tial ten-rouna bill.
Billy llascoti. claimant of the Pacific
coast bantamweisht championship, will
try to make good his claim against
Georgie Thompson, the sensational Cal
ifornia 116-pounder n tne mam event.
Thompson has fought all over the coun
try and holds decisions over several of
Americans leading bantams.
Both Mascott and Thompson have
taken part in numerous ten-round
matches, so the distance will not be
new to them. Both boys have agreed
to weigh in at 116 pounds on the day
of the contest.
The semi-final promises to be a hotly
contested affair, with the rugged Peter
Mitchie and Stanley Willis furnishing
the opposition. This brace of light
weights met in a great six-round go
some time ago that ended in a draw.
The go was easily the class of the bill
in which they appeared and they should
have no trouble in settling their dis
pute over the longer route.
Freddie Anderson, the hard-bitting
Vancouver lightweight, will meet "Kid"
Kxposito in the special event carded for
eight rounds. Anderson hopes to rise
as high in the pugilistic game as did
his older brother Bud, and if he suc
ceeds in winning from the rugged Ital
ian, who has been going like a house
afire in San Francisco, he will have
made a climb up the ladder of fisti
cuffs. Eddie Gorman, brother of Joe Gor
man, who has been battling with great
success about Oakland and San Fran
cisco, will le imported to tangle with
Sammy Gordon in the six-round pre
liminary. Young Gorman has held his
own with such tough bantams as Char
ley Moy, Danny Edwards, Georgie Ad
ams, and should give Gordon the.-battle
of his career. Should Gordon win from
the rugged Spanish boy he will be in
line for many a good scrap, while if he
loses he raus1. remain in the preliminary
ranks until he gains more experience.
' Bill (Fat) Larue, the Oakland heavy
weight, who recently defeated Willie
Mrehan. will meet Tom Cowler, the big
heavyweight that Jim Corbett picked
up here some years ago at the Oak
land auditorium, shortly. Cowler will
never be a champion, but he Is a big,
fast fellow and should give Larue a
real go for four rounds.
Willie Meehan is finding it rather
hard to obtain matches in the Seal Rock
city. Only a short while back Meehan
could have named his own price and
picked hisown opponents. How things
do change In a very short time.
Ole Anderson, who was credited with
having shaded Meehan at Seattle re
cently, proved to be a flash in the pan,
as the veteran Frank Farmer gave him
a neat lacing at Tacoma the other
night.
Having recovered from his attack of
poison oak in his eyes. Mike Gibbons
has decided to go through with his en
gagement with Jeff Smith at Minne
apolis on September 25. The bout is
scheduled to go ten rounds, no deci
sion. Georgie Brandon, the battling Port
land featherweight, la now in Liverpool,
England, but expects to leave for this
country soon. Brandon enlisted In the
navy several years ago and at the pres
ent time is listed on the crew of the
U. S. S. Plattsburg. Brandon was a
bantamweight when last in Portland on
a furlough, some time ago. but writes
that he Is now a full-fledged feather
weight, and still growing. He ia one
of the most popular boxers ever devel
oped here, being a home product, and
his return will be welcomed. Since his
enlistment in the navy he has had more
than 40 bouts, gaining a world of ex
perience, and while stationed at Mare
island navy-yard won the bantam
weight championship of the Pacific
roast by defeating Charley Moy in San
Francisco. At that time Moy was rec
ognized as the title-holder.

LIGHT BAT EXPLAINS RIDDLE
OF WILHOIT'S HITTING STUNT
Frank Isbell Din covers Joe's Weakness Overlooked by Trio of Big
League Managers and fatting Star Is Result.
Ma
URDER will out, they say, and so
e secret of Joe Wilhoit's mur-
rous attack on the unoffenslve
baseball for some 60 odd games is now
known to the world.
Frank Isbell, the bald-headed gentle
man who controls the destinies of the
Wichita Witches, Is the informer. He
gave it away at Omaha, and following
Is the account carried in the Omaha
dailies on the expose:
"How did Joe Wilhoit the lanky
Wichita outfielder who was canned
summarily by four clubs because he
couldn't hit. suddenly compound a .200
battlnar average into an average of
.460 and achieve the most sensational
slugging streak In the history of base
ball by cracking out hits in 63 con
secutive games?
"That is a question hundreds of
Western league fans and at least three
big league managers are cogitating
over these days. What Is the secret
of Wilhoit's success?
"After giving it considerable thought
the only decision the average fan prob
ably will reach is that be started hit
ting 'em. And. with one modification,
that about sums it up.
"Frank If bell, owner of the Wichita
club, explained his Wilhoit suddenly
developed into the sensation of the
league when Wichita was here Thurs
day. And as Wilhoit is working for
Ixiy" the bald eagle ought to know.
Here's how It happened:
"When Wilhoit came to Wichita
from Seattle last spring he gave little
promise of burning up the league. He
was a wizard fielder, but that let him
out. His hitting was mediocre to say
the least.
"Isbell watched Wilhoit and came to
the conclusion that Joe ought to be a
first-class hitter. So after watching
old cheesecloth. Forty-four times his
name was recited to the grandstand
through a megaphone, and in only
16 engagements was he trimmed.
His pitching average of .600 attract
ed major-league sleuths and the fol
lowing season found poor Bill in St.
Louis. Awful.
In 1916 he put on a Tiger kimono
and twirled for Jennings up until his
army debut last year. When Uncle
Sam called for grenade artists Bill
hopped Into khaki and joined the
40th infantry at Camp Custer, Mich.
After the kaiser was driven to the
four Detroit pitchers hard and won.
The hitting of Heilmann and Tobin
was the only redeeming feature of the
loose play. Score:

repeating their success of yesterday
in winning all three events.
William M. Johnston of California.
American champion, today defeated
Norman E. Brookes. 6-4. 7-9, 6-2. 6-2
and William T. Tilden II, of Philadel
phia. American runner-up, outplayed
Gerald L. Patterson, who won the
world's title at Wimbledon, winning
by 3-6. 6-3. 6-4. 9-7.
In the doubles R. Norris Williams II
of Boston, and Wallace F. Johnson of
Philadelphia, were carried to five sets
by Randolph Lycett and R. V. Tlfbmas.
The score was 6-2, 6-4. 2-5, 3-6. 6-0.
Joe a bit more he finally made the
suggestion which made Wilhoit the
sensation of the year.
" 'Why do you use such a heavy war
club with such a thick grip?" asked
Isbell. "Try a light stick with a thin
grip around which you can wrap your
fingers, and you'll hit better."
"So Wilhoit got a light bat. a bat
that looked more like a billiard cue
than a club with which to swat a base'
balL The grip was very, very thin
and Wilhoit wrapped his hands clear
around it.
"That was the start. The finish is
yet to come. Wilhoit began hitting
the pill all over the park. He's still
doing It.'
" "He's the greatest hitter I ever saw,
said Isbell. 'The only reason he didn't
hit before this year was the style of
bat he used. He hits anything, curve
baH. fast ball or slow ball it makes no
difference. He hits "em any place the
pitcher puts 'em. Sail one alongside
or his ear and he U hit that. Put one by
his shoestrings and he'll hit that. Put
one in the groove and it's goodby balL
He's the greatest hitter I ever saw,
and I've seen a number in my time.'
"Omaha fans who watched Wilhoit
Wednesday and Thursday will agree
that Isbell must be right when he de
clares Wilhoit can hit any kind of a
pitched ball. When Wilhoit went to
the plate he swung at anything within
reach. He hit the first ball pitched
several times and not once looked over
one that was near the plate.
"Why George Stalllngs, Hugo Bezdek
and Muggsy McGraw, the three major
league managers who looked over
Wilhoit and pronounced him a punk
h titer, failed to correct Wilhoit'a fault
is a mystery. But from now on prob
ably they'll inspect the bats their
proteges use as a result of Isbell's dis
covery regarding Wilhoit."
showers Bill resumed his place In
the ranks of the Tigers, but early in
the season, was sold to Boston
through baseball etiquette still re
ferred to as the world champions.
His major-league twirling has
never been sensational, as far as
averages go, but had William been
a member of the pennant-winning
team the story may have been dif
ferent. As things stand, he ranks
well with many other reliable, will
ing, heavers who are liable to be
shoved into a nasty climax on a
moment's notice.

Big League Gossip.
AMONG those who have filed orders
for world's series reservations in
Cincinnati is Napoleon Lajoie and al
though the Cincinnati club is not mak
ing any reservations as yet. It is pos
sible an exception may be made In
Lajoie's case.
The Chicago Cubs during their home
stand had to compete against a street
car strike. Tnen when they landed
in New York for a series they ran into
another one. The Cubs also lost two
Sunday games in New York on account
of rain. Looks like the jinx was on
the club in more ways than one.
With the usual tendency to exagger
ate the New York scribes boosted the
attendance in the recent Giants-Reds
series a bit. For instance, one scribe
said the "official paid" for the first
day was 38,800. The Cincinnati club
officials say it was 31.785, or at least
that was all Cincinnati got paid for.
President Charles H. Ebbets of
Brooklyn, who has many wise ideas in
his bonnet, - declares his belief that
baseball grand stands should be re
built to accomodate 60,000 or 70,000
people, with popular prices charged

Despite the fact that Bill James is
a native of Ann Arbor, Mich., like
many other ballplayers and bankers,
he hits for the far west with the
first flakes of winter. Bear hunting
in New Mexico has occupied several
weeks of his annual vacation for the
past few winters.
Last year he was accompanied by
Bill Burns and Bill Rodgers, and the
result of this expedition still re
mains embarrassing. Loaded down
with enough artillery to level a for
tified city, the three hiked for the
at second base now under the excuse
that Larry Doyle's injured leg pre
vents the veteran from playing, and
even Mike Gonzales is being experi
mented with on first base in place of
Hal Chase, who has not caste with
New York fans. Frisch is the young
ster from Fordham college and he
looks like an awfully good bet. He

The Pittsburg club has purchased
First Baseman Charley Grimm from
the Little Rock Southern league club.
He reported to the Pirates September 1.
President Bob Allen of the Little Rock
club made the sale two weeks ago, but
left it to President Dreyfus to an
nounce at his pleasure. Grimm has had
trials with the St. Louis Cardinals and
the Philadelphia Athletics, but was a
raw kid off the lots then. He has had
a big year in the Southern league this
season. He is a southpaw thrower and

XATIOXAL LEAGUE UMPIRE IX
BOX FOR XEW YORK IX 189 0.
Part Also Taken in Memorable Game
Between Giants and Cubs In
Polo Park in 1908.
Hank O'Day, one of the National
league's veteran umpires, has been
identified with the sport for more
than 30 years. Back in 1889 O'Day
pitched for the Giants, who won
the pennant and the world's champion
ship that season. He was a sturdy
righthander and took a turn in the box
with Tim Keefe, Mickey Welch and Ed
Crane. O'Day also pitched for the New
York Players' league team in 1890, also
for the Washingtons and other big
league outfits.
As a National league umpire, O'Day
figured in the memorable game be
tween the Giants and the Cubs at the
Polo grounds in 1908, in which he al
lowed the visitors' claim that Fred
Merkle had failed to touch second base.
Six years later Charles Webb Murphy,
owner of the Cubs, suddenly released
Johrtny Evers from the management
and appointed O'Day, who had had a
previous experience as leader of the
Reds.
O'Day withdrew from the Cubs'
management after one year and re
turned to the National league's umpire
staff. He is doing excellent work in
this capacity and is perfectly happy.
