Milwaukie Arena Opened.
Real Boxers Matched.
M'CORMICK-FARMER FIRST
.KnglJsh Champion Should Put on
Good Contest With Coast Pride
in 10-Round Bout.
"With the opening of the Milwaukie
arena Tuesday night, Portland will
become the boxing center of the west
and will mark the start of a period
during- which time the many local
fight fans should get the opportunity
to see some real boxers of note in
action. "When Matchmaker Frank
Kendall signed Boy McCormick, light
heavyweight champion of England, to
meet Frank Farmer of Tacoma, holder
of the Pacific coast title ho set a
standard.
Both boys will taper off in their
training today. Farmer in Seattle
and McCormick here. Farmer wil
arrive in Portland tomorrow and may
do a little light work. He is in good
condition, having been in constant
training for his fight against Joe
Welch in Tacoma Friday nigTit.
Farmer gave the tough Welch a ter
rible lacing In six rounds.
The latter has been cleaning up in
his class around San Francisco and
had been figured to give Farmer Ta
good battle. Instead he was lucky to
get in one solid punch in the entire
six rounds, according to the ringside
version of the battle.
McCormick has been working hard
for the match and it will be his first
ten-round bout in America, The Eng
lish champion is much more at home
in a bout of ten-round distance than
the four-round affairs he has been
taking part in in San Francisco.
All of his bouts in bngiand were 01
20-round duration and the fighting
Irishman is out to stop Farmer. On
paper the match is by far the classiest
arranged in Oregon since the advent
of the new ten-round law. Both of
the men have reputations for being
real fighters, and all that remains for
them is to dig in and live up to their
reputations.
Two other ten-round bouts and a
six-rounder will complete the card
which will open the spacious new
arena in Milwaukie.
'"Scotty" Williams, Chicago colored
welterweight, will tangle with Billy
Wright of Seattle in the semi-wind-up.
It is said that Jack Grant, match
maker of the Portland commission has
already signed Williams for a ten
round bout against Battling Ortega
here on December 19, so evidently
Williams must be the real McCoy
He has been showing up well in his
daily workouts with McCormick.
Wright is a fast, clever boxer and has
decisions o.ver many of the best, boys
on the coast.
The fans should be in for a donny
brook when Stanley Willis and Harry
Casey tangle in the special event
of 10 cantos. Willis is not the hard
est puncher in the world, but is ai
aggressive miller. Casey carries i
stick of T. N. T. in either mitt and
if he lands on Willis' chin it may
mean curtains for the Philadelphia
battler.
Bud Ridley, who is heralded as of
championship caliber in the bantam
weight ranks, will make his second
start in this neck of the woods this
season against Bernie Hillon( the
rugged little Aberdeen boxer. Fred
Winsor has been coaching his fast
coming youngster to go in and get
Dillon right off the reel so there is
sure to be one round of excitement.
Again, Dillon may prove to be a
tougher proposition than expected.
Frank ie M alone, the Oakland
featherweight, who fought Joe Uor
man here recently, may box Jimmy
Dundee or Earl Baird in Seattle in
the near future.
Benny Leonard, lightweight cham
pion of the world, may meet Jack
Britton, holder of the welterweight
crown, in Newark, N. J., next month.
-
Frank Moran, the Pittsburg heavy
weight, received his first setback
since his recent comeback, the other
night when he was shaded by Bob
Itoper, the army champion.
Tommy Gibbons, brother of Mike, is
scheduled to fight M'ck King 15
rounds in Calgary, Canada, on Decern
ber 19. King has appeared in Port
land several times.

. Manager Offers., to Put Sandow,
Cincinnati Bantamweight,
Against Billy Mascot.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 22. (Spe
cial.) Dick O'Briei and his manager,
"Biddy" Bishop, are here from the
east and the big- Cincinnati boxer may
soon be matched to meet some of the
his: ones operating: here at this time.
O'Brien is probably one of the best-
appearing: heavyweights of any who
have visited here in some time. In
appearance he resembles Fred Fulton,
He is about the same height and size
and make-up of Fulton, except that
he gives the impression of being more
rugged and stronger than the Roch
ester plasterer.
O'Brien measures 6 feet 7 inches
tall, scales about 200 and has a reach
of 86 inches. He is 23 years old and
has been boxing less than two years.
He has a record of 22 knockouts out
of 29 battles in the ring.
O'Brien's manager, who was at one
t ime a boxing promoter, manager,
trainer and referee here, says he will
be glad to let O'Brien box any of the
big fellows of his own class, at pres
ent around the bay. "I do not claim
that Dick is a champion and there-
lore feel that it would be best to con
fine his matches to men of his own
rat in g," said Bishop.
Bishop also has in his stable Toung
Sandow. the Cincinnati bantamweight, J
whom he intends to match with the
best of the 118 -pounders. lf the
Portland boxing commission would
care to make the match 1 will be very
glad to put Sandow in up there with
Billy Mascot or any 118-pound boxer
they would care to pit hita against,
says Bishop. "During the world se
ries. Sandow made Champion Pete
Herman look like a very badly de
feated boxer in a no-decision match
at Cincinnati, and I don't care how
tough they pick them for him. I be
lieve he will hold his own with any
of the western boys. At least, he is
ready to make the try."
O'Brien and his manager and a
party of friends left yesterday for a
four days' goose hunt in the Sacra
mento valley.

The turkevs will bo shot for in

ties will be shot off on the miss-and

entrance fee on each turkey. That
every one may have a chance to win

promote trapshooting in the United

the hospital ship Solace and quite
a number of the battleships and when
the Solace made its memorable trip
through the Panama canal it carried
handtraps and trapshooting was in
dulged in every day from the deck of
the ship. This idea of shooting over

little late the night before.
The Toke Point Oyster Grille team
was not shooting in form, but at that
managed to squeeze two games from
the O.-W. R. & N. boys.
Wood and Kneyse of the Toke Point
team had a battle royal for the booby
honors. Wood winning out by 22 pins.
He rolled 476 as to kneyse's 498.

NEW YORK, Nov. 22. (Special.)
It was the chance remark of
one of the lawn tennis stars:
"It's my opinion that a lot of players
would greatly Improve their game by
devoting some time and study to bil
liards." that started an argument at
one of the clubs the other day. It
was not long before the majority oi
those present were ready to agree
that, especially in these days of varied
stroking of the ball, a knowledge oi
billiards and the action that may be
imparted to the Ivory sphere by vary
ing the point of contact by the cue
is regarded as of considerable value
to the follower of the-courts.
By no means is the difference so
great between the two games . a
seems to appear to the casual oo
server. The fuzzy, rougher surface
of the lawn tennis ball according as
It is hit by the racket takes on a
variety of actions because of friction
with the air. The polished billiard
ball gets its action as it rolls over the
rougher surface of the cloth on the
table. Aside from the action of the
ball there is another similarity con
necting lawn tennis and Diiiiaras.
Elon H. Hooker remarked it noi
long ago: In billiards tnere is tne
proper shot for every position of the
halin uDon tne taoie. im camo
theory absolutely applies to lawn
tennis.
As the expert observed: "It has
been a mystery to many why a tennis
ball should bound in the opposite di
rection from its curve, but if one win
apply the principle oi tne cobhhu
in billiards the reason is easy to un
derstand. In the overhand out twist
as served by Holcombe Ward and
Frederick B. Alexander in the days
of their greatest glory, the ball spins
sharply on its own axis. It is a com
bination of right-hand English and
the follow shot in billiards. To be
more exact the ball spins precisely
like a billiard ball -when hit for a
follow shot with English to the right.
This causes it to curve in the case of
the tennis ball to the server's left in
seeking the line of least resistance
because of the greater friction on the
right side. Also it causes the ball to
curve downward in its flight because
of the greater friction on its top
side.
"To my mind this stroke and1 the ac
tion furnish one of the best of exam
ples of the similarity of billiards and .
tennis. For instance, as the served
ball strikes the ground it breaks to
the right -because the spinning mo- .
tion drags it that way when it comes
into contact with the surface of the
court, just the same as a billiard ball
with right-hand English will rebound
to the right when it strikes the cush
ion of the table."
This player went on through a num
ber of illustrations which denoted his
close study of the subject. He told
that Dr. William Rosenbaum had to
slight degree devoted himself to
billiards according to the theories he
was illustrating. According to his
view the chop stroke had identically
the principles of the draw shot. The
same spin was imparted to the sphere,
the sharp back spinning motion on
the ball resulting in the low bounds
so baffling to many of the players.
The old-fashioned Lawford, mora
properly designated as the drop
stroke, this star of the courts regard
ed as another shining example in '
which billiard action was reflected.
In making the drop stroke.' he said,
the racquet meets the ball with a
diagonal sweep, striking it a glancing
blow with a sharp up twist that drags
the ball along with it and gives it a
sharp, spinning motion like a follow '
shot in billiards
It was the opinion of this student
that as in billiards the stroke was
delivered to the still ball and not to
the flying sphere as in lawn tennis,
the recreational game pon the titbls
with cue and ivories afforded ideal
opportunity to study the effects of
hitting the ball in various ways. It
was his contention that a comprehen
sive knowledge of billiard shots would
greatly add to the effectiveness of the
rank and file of players on the
courts. All of the great lawn tennis
players were now employing a wide
variety of top and cut and spin which
necessitated the knowledge on the
part of opponents as to the means by
which the often surprising results
were obtained. "A little billiard play
ing during the winter, real studious
billiards and caroms, will surely re-,
pay the tennis player, was his part
ing shot as he finished his talk.
