Tough Constitution to Hold
Off St. Paul Boxer.
BY RICHARD R. SHARP.
The belated fight card of the Mll
waukie boxing commission will hold
the Interest of the local sporting fol
lowers this week, as Tuesday night'
bill of battles is the only athletic
event' scheduled for the week outside
of the three-cushion billiard tourna
ment. Originally scheduled for last
Wednesday night matchmaker Frank
Kendall was forced to postpone the
show until Tuesday night of this
week, owing to the inability to get
transportation facilities.
Tommy GibbonB, the clever St. Paul
light-heavyweight and claimant of
the world's title in his division, is
primed to the minute for his ten
round clash in the main event against
Valley Trambltas alias Jimmy Darcy
of Portlnd.
Gibbons worked out for over an
hour yesterday afternoon at Ad Gar
lock's gymnasium, doing a little bit
of everything. Eddie Kane said that
Tommy has seldom been in better
shape for a match. Darcy Is also in
the best of condition and ready to
reel off ten cantos at top speed.
It will be a case of a rugged, ag
gressive youngster against a clever,
experienced battler who has never
tasted defeat. Darcy will have a
good deal to overcome and many have
it figured that he bit off more than
he can chew when he agreed to meet
Gibbons. Tommy made a monkey out
of Frank Farmer, which is more than
any man on the coast has ever started
to do. Such redoubtable boxers as
Billy Miske, George Chip,
Clark and others failed to dent
Tommy Gibbons' fistic ambitions.
Darcy is a tough nut to crack for
any boxer and will make his bid for
fame and fortune Tuesday night.

Walla Walla Tossers Take On
Winged M Five January 17,
During Southern Trip.
Bobby Ward, St. Paul lightweight
and a pupil of Mike Gibbons, Tommy's
famous brother, will step eight rounds
against Stanley Willis of Pennsyl
vania In the semi-windup. Both of
these men are clever mixers and can
punch. Ward has not had much of
an opportunity to show his real abil
ity here and will get a thorough test
from the shifty Willis. . The latter
can hit as well as box and will have
the edge of five or six pounds in
weight.
s
The slashing event of the evening is
expected when Nell Zimmerman and
Georgie Brandon hook up in the spe
cial event of eight rounds. These two
featherweights are a couple of mitt
wlelders who battle from gong to
gong and if their eight-round session
is anything like the six-round en
counter they put up in Portland re
cently, the fight fans who journey out
to Mllwaukle will be treated to a real
bout. The match between Zimmer
man and Brandon is the best special
' event that Frank Kendall could have
signed up. A decisive win for either
, boxer will put him in line for some
; thing further up on the card.

Weldon ("Wedding") Wing will

says that he will be forced to try to
win Just as hard.

of the best local lightweights In the

I
I As soon as Muff Bronson heard that
' there was a possibility of White box
ing in this neck of the woods he
came to life with the word that he
would like nothing better than a
crack at the Chicago battler. Bron
son has been going exceptionally good
of late, and several years ago no
other local boxer outside of Bronson
would even be considered to meet
an opponent the caliber of White. A
few reversals gave some of the other
battlers a chance to leap into the
limelight. Now Muff Is stepping up
to the fore again.

' DETROIT TO TRAIN IX GEORGIA
WHITMAN COLLEGE. Walla Walla,
Wash.. Dec. 13. (Special.) Portland
and Oregon basketball fans will get
a chance to see Wmtman college in
action this season against the Uni
versity of Oregon. O. A. C. and Mult
nomah club according to announce
ment of Whitman's basketball sche
dule by Graduate Manager Borleske,
who has just returned from Seattle.
Although no formal meeting of the
conference was held owing to the
deadlock between the University of
California ind Stanford in r. Pard tn
Jackie dates with the University of Wash
ington, BorleKke succeeded in making
dates with the Oregon teams.
Whitman s basketball schedule will
start with the Oregon trip when it
will meet the University of Ohio on
January U and 13; then Willamette
at Sa'em, January 14 and 15; O. A. C.
at Corvallis. January 16 and 17. and
the Multnomah club at Portland. Jan
uary 17.
Return games to be played here are:
WTillamette, February 12 and 13; O. A.
C February 17 and 18; University of
Oresron, January 23 and 24. Games
with W. S. C University of Idaho (
and University of Montana are yet to
be arranged, and when completed will
give Whitman a total of 23 games.
Contrary to the climatic conditions
of previous years, it appears that the
western football team this year will
suffer from the blizzard which has
been hovering over the northwest for
the past week, and which has pre
vented the Oregon team from any
heavy outdoor workouts. In past
years the eastern teams have been
handicapped by severe cold weather
during this period of training for the
Pasadena game and also by the un
usual change of climate encountered
on their trip west, which forces them
to pass over the middle west plains
and across the Rocky mountains into
the balmy air of southern California.
Western football authorities, by ex
periencing the present frigid weather,
can now realize what a disadvan
tage the eastern representatives have
had to contend with in conditioning
for the New Year's game. Although
eastern critics have harped on this j
disadvantage. It has never been given
very much consideration as a factor
In the final results of the New Year's
clash.
But with several inches of snow
covering Hay ward field at Kugenc,
Oregon's coaches will be willing to
sympathize with the mentors of east
ern teams.
Camp Recognises Steers.
Walter Camp, who for many years
has been a recognized authority on
ail-American football selections, has
picked Eddie Casey, the Harvard star,
on his first team and Bill Steers. Ore
gon's brilliant quarterback, on his
third mythical eleven. For many
years eastern football critics have
been unable to see across the Alle
gheny mountains, while football west
of the Rockies hs.s been forgotten. A
sample of the injustice shown by the
eastern critics was most ably demon
strated in the Oregon-Pennsylvania
game when Howard Berry, the highly
touted Penn star, failed to show any
thing startling in football ability, due.
according to those who were in close
touch with the contest, to the speed

FOR STADIUM GAME.
University of Washington Named

TACOMA. Dec 13.--Tacoma civic
clubs today started a movement to
book a football game in the stadium
here the week of January '4 between
Harvard and the University of
Washington.
Telegrams were sent to the athletic
managers of the two universities ask
ing acceptance of the game between
January 4 and 10. Harvard was asked
to specify the financial guarantee
necessary for the game and it was
promised the amount will be raised.
The telegram was signed by J. H.
Davis, president of the Tacoma Com
mercial club: H. J. Whltacre, presi
dent of the Rotary club, and C. Mil
ford Coye, president of the Kiwanis
club. In asking Harvard to accept the
game, it was promised a crowd of
45.000 people from the northwest
would gather In the stadium.
Attention was called to the fact
that the University of Washington
claims as good a record as the Uni
versity of Oregon, which will meet
Harvard in Pasadena on New Years
day.
SEATTLE, Dec. 13. Washington's
football team has broken training and
disbanded for the season and probably
could not be put back into shape for
a January game against Harvard at
Tacoma, It was said on the campua
today. Coach Claude Hunt's office
said nothing had been heard from Ta
coma regarding the proposed contest.
Coach Hunt could not be reached.
and fierce tackling of Brick Mitchell,
former lemon-yellow end. Before the
Oregon-Pennsylvania game eastern
football critics probably did not know
that Brick was playing- football on a
college team.
With Casey, the all-American half
back, pitted against Steers, all-Pacific
coast quarterback, who in the
offensive of the Oregon team takes
the same position as a halfback, the
spectators at Pasadena will no doubt
see for themselves which of the two
men has lived up to tho advance
reports.
Casey Open Field Runner.
Pale-faced Eddy Cased is 23 years
of gae and weighs 155 pounds, is 5 feet
10 Inches in height and had two years
of college football experience. He is
of the tricky open field, zig-zag run
ning type of player. He has also shown
an unusual ability in gathering In the
aerial shoots of his mate, Ralph Hor
ween. Bill Steers, Oregon star, is 24 years
of age, weighs 18u pounds, is 6 feet in
height and has had two years of ex
perience. Bill's success is obtained by
his fast end runs, short off-tackle
bucks, accurate passing and his abil
ity as a punter and drop kicker.
Captain Murray of the crimson team
and "Skipper" Brandenburg of the
lemon-yellow team are also backfieid
men of unusual ability. As Captain
Murray, quarterback of the Harvard
team, has not received any exceptional
mention by eastern papers it is im
possible to make any comparison be
tween him and "Brandy." Captain
Brandenburg has been handicapped
all year with a pair of bad shoulders,
but in spite of his injuries has stayed
In the game. His defensive playing
was a real feature of the Oregon
Multnomah turkey day clash.

President Dunn and Other Indian
Officials Wanted in Court to
Explain Matters.
XEW YORK. Dec 13. New legal
action against Ban Johnson, president
of the American league, was started
today by the New York American
league club. An order was obtained
from Supreme Court Justice Lydon
asking that Johnson and the Cleve
land American club appear in court
here December 17 to show reason why
an open commission should not be
created to take open testimony of
officials of the Cleveland club. The
officials named were James C. Dunn,
Walter McNichols and K. S. Bernard,
president. secretary and business
manager, respectively.
The object of the move is to ascer
tain the exact nature of Johnson'r
allegec. holdings in the Cleveland,
club. The order was obtained on tho
affidavit of Colonel Huston, part
owner of the New York club, and
Charles H. Tuttle. one of the club's
attorneys. Huston in his affidavit
charges that Johnson's interests in
the Cleveland club influenced his ac
tions in the Carl Mays case. A state
ment by the New York club said the
action was taken in self-defense be
cause of Johnson's eleventh-hour ap-
ijeai irom justice Wagners decision
tne .Mays case.
CHICAGO, Dec. 13. r
the structure of organized baseball or
to the championship season of 1920
exists in the factional fight of the
American league, according to George
W. Miller, attorney for President
Johnson, to whom tho American
league executive referred all Ques
tioners on his return from New York
today.
"The only damage th belligerent
three club owners can do to the next
baseball campaign," Miller said, "is to
refuse to open their parks and enter
teams in the race."
This action, he said, is not an
ticipated.
"The American league will continue
to function In the interest of clean
sport." he said, "in spite of all efforts
to hamper President Johnson in the
performance of his executive duties."

Paris Waits Word From America
About Dempsey Attitude.
PARIS, Dec. 13. M. Decoin has not
yet received a reply from Jack Reams
on his offer for the Dempsey-Carpen-
tier fight In the Pershing stadium.
Sporting circles in Paris are expec
tant in view of the official challenge
issued by Descamps. Carpentier's man
ager, to Dempsey, through the Inter
national Boxing corporation yester
day. Carpentier told the Associated
Press today that he was not con
cerned about the arrangements and
was leaving for England Monday.
The opinion in Paris is that Demp
sey would not be willing to come to
France, while Carpentier s expressed
willingness to go to America or Aus
tralia has caused renewed enthusiasm.
"I wish that this matter could be
arranged as soon as possible," said
Carpentier today, "so that I might go
to work. I desire to depart from the
old-time publicity stunts. I believe
that the records of both Dempsey and
myself speak for themselves and I
wish to get down to business and set
tle the matter once for all. If I am
defeated, I will proclaim Mr. Dempsey
the greatest living fighter."
