THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX. PORTLAND. MAY 16, 1920 CALLAHAN SELECTED TO OPPOSE LEONARD Crack Lightweights to Step Ten Rounds June 21. 4 OPPONENT AFTER TITLE New Yorker Otuj Great Boxer Chump Has Never Shaded Place for 'Go Not Yet Decided' On. BY TJICK SHARP. Frankie Callahan of New York will meet Benny Leonard, lightweight champion of the world in a ten-rounS battle here June 21. Matchmaker Bobby Evans of the Portland boxing commission, came to a final agree ment over long distance telephone with Benny Murphy, Callahan's mana ger, yesterday and a contract will be forwarded to Boston today, where Callahan is now making his head quarters. The signing of Callahan means that the one great lightweight in the world today who has not been shaded by the champion will be his opponent here during the Shrine convention. Back in 1915, before Benny won the lightweight title, he and Callahan rjjiet in a ten-round no-decision bout in New York with Callahan getting the shade if any there was. Since that time Frankie has never been able to get Leonard in the ring again and has been camping on the""titleholder's trail since their first and only meet ing. nest Lightweights Met. Callahan is the only first-rate lightweight now in the limelight who has not been bumped off at some time or other since he came into prominence in world-wide fistic cir cles. He has met every good man in the game today, among his oppon ents in the last five years being Johnny Dundee, Rocky Kansas, Ad "Wolgast, Joe Rivers, Gilbert Gallant, Joe Mandot, Mel Coogan, Walter Mohr, Frankie Fleming, Harry Pierce, M ilburn Say lor, Shamus O'Brien, Johnny Harvey, Vic Moran, Charley "White, Jimmy Hanlon, Pete Hartley and many others. Callahan has fought Dundee four times. He knocked out Joe Rivers in two rounds in 1915 when Joe was still able to hold his own with the best men in the business. Portland fistic followers will best remember Callahan as the boy who knocked out Ralph Gruman, the most popular lightweight ever developed here, in Salt Lake City In three rounds in 1916. At that time Gruman was looked upon as of championship caliber, but Callahan broke his jaw in the second round and the battle was ended in the third canto. Three Defeats Listed. In every fight where Callahan has entered the ring with a decision in . view he has come out the winner. During his career, extending from 3911 and during which time he has taken part in over 200 fights, he has been defeated only three times. Two of these defeats were experienced when he was just breaking into the spotlight while he made up for the other by later reversing the call given against him. The New York contender's latest ring achievement was registered in Boston the other night when he put Kddle Fitzsimmons away in four rounds. Fitzsimmons had been looked upon as a foremos. prospect for Benny Leonard's crown until he step ped into one of Callahan's smashing wallops and went down for the count. Up to meeting Frankie. Fitzsimmons had a meteoric career, beating the best men in the east from 133 to 142 pounds. The latter is a southpaw at that which would make him even harder to get at. Kan Fears at Kent. Many of the fans were afraid that irfonara wouia De lea a set-up or local boy in his ten-round fight here, but their minds may now rest at ease. as a tougher opponent, who figures to give him a real contest, could not have been signed. Of course, Benny, might stop Callahan this time, but if he did he would be stowing away one of the five best lightweights in the game and put a serious obstacle out of the running for the title. Johnny Dundee, Irish Patsy Cline and other boxers were considered for the June 21 bout, but Leonard has beaten all of these men. He has kayoed Cline and won hands down from Dundee half a dozen times, although he never has been able to put the "jumping wop away. Where the battle between the light weight champion and Callahan will le held has not yet been decided. Three sites are being considered the lee Palace, the Vaughn-street ball park and the Pacific International Livestock Exposition building. A definite selection will be made within the week. Special TIekets Planned. Matchmaker Kvans already has placed an order for special tickets, the exact style and printing to be set when the place of the bout is decided and seats arranged.- The tickets will be patterned somewhat after those used at the Willard-Dempsey mill. Numbers of requests have been com ing in to Kvans and Walter B. Honey man, secretary of tile Portland box jng commission, for reservations. All reservations for the Leonard-Callahan melee and also for the Pete Herman contest will have to be accompanied by cash. With Leonard's opponent for June, 21 ont of the way. Kvans will now stay awake nights until he has signed a battler to meet Pete Herman, ban tamweight champion of the world. Kvans announced Friday that the niatca with Herman as the headliner would be held June 10 but after added deliberation may change the date to June 1. Herman's opponent will be either Bud Riley, Benny McCoy or Billy camps and Curley went upstairs to Curley's room. "In 15 minutes after that I was on my way to Philadelphia," Kearns is quoted. "I didn't say a word about fight to Descamps, and 1 don't want to for some time yet, or' rather till the slacker stuff is over with. Jack is entirely, innocent, and he will. easily prove himself so. Funny that during the war there was no talk connecting Dempsey with being a draft dodger, but after he beat Willard and became champion the stuff suddenly sprang up." NOTRE DAME IS TJP AGAIN Era of Athletic Expansion to Come at Catholic School. NOTRE DAME, Ind., May 15. Notre Dame university is about to enter upon a new era of athletic expansion. The approval of a general plan for compulsory athletic education, which was submitted to the university board of athletic control by Athletic Di rector Rockne, marks the first offi cial action taken on the proposal. The plan will be worked out in de tail to meet Notre Dame's special re quirements and will then be presented to the university faculty board for final approval. It is understood that the faculty board favors such a plan and thus assures Notre Dame of the innumerable benefits' to be derived from it.

Two more weeks of ball playing re mains for the high school toesers and then the 1920 interscholastic season will be brought to a close. Five of the remaining games are crucial con tests for those teams which are at ship with a possible chance of tying' with Washington for the title. Both teams have .lost one game this sea son. Franklin having gone down to defeat at the hands of Washington and Benson suffered the same fate last week, when Lincoln upset the dope and nosed out the mechanics in a sensational ninth-inning rally.' The game promises to be closely and bit terly contested with the chances of victory between the two teams about even. , ' Commerce to Meet Columbia. Commerce and Columbia are the teams scheduled to meet on Wednes day and interest in this contest has picked up considerably since the Commerce team surprised the league followers last Friday by downing the Hill Military academy nine.

It is' hard to tell what the Lincoln team will do after the manner in which the Railsplitters came from behind and defeated Ben son last week and the fans are figur ing them to turn the same trick against Jefferson. Lincoln is another of the teams which has a chance to land in a tie - for the championship. having rost only one game to date. The schedule of games for the final week follows: May 24.

Stay 31, while the opening cruise of the 1920 season will take place June 4. 5 and 6 with New berg again the objective point. Last year the P. M." C. flock of crafts journeyed up to Newberg on a grand cruise and put on one of the biggest events in the history ot the ciun. George Larkin will be down at the banks of the old Willamette to greet the crusade and a repetition of last year's time is held to be in store for those who. make the trip. The new sea sleds and hydroplanes will be there and race for real prizes that the Newberg Commercial club will have provided. As the cruise committee has stated, mere is going to be '"some real clean sport on a real clean river at a real clean town." An all-around programme of speed events will be carded for May 31 with the fastest boats in this part of the country competing. A number of new speedsters have made their appearence on the water this year and will give -the old timers some thing to worry about. Motorboat racing is coming into its own again throughout the world and with some craft on the river which can make some real speed will make its bid for popularity in Portland again. The club will entertain the members and their friends during and after the re gatta and refreshments will be served by J. J. Carter, chairman of the en tertainment committee. The officers of the Portland Motor boat club recently met with the chamber of commerce of St. Helens and made arrangements for a cruise there on Saturday, Sunday and Mon day, July 3, 4 and 5. Tlie chamber of commerce intends holding a ig cele bration at St. Helens on Monday, July in which all the adjacent towns are invited to participate. Motorboat races, surfboard riding and fancy diving will be staged by the motor boat club and it .is intended if pos sible to have a seaplane there to give all who desire a ride in the air. . While oiling the machinery on the Fav Queen last Sunday Captain P. X. Johnson was caught by the shaft and severely injured. The accident occurred several miles up the river while Captain Johnson was on a cruise with a party of friends. He managed to navigate his boat back to "The moorings and was assisted to his home, where his wounds were dressed. Although Miss Portland exceeded expectations- by several miles, Marion Boone says he can make her do' bet ter and is placing planes on her hull which he expects to let enough air under her to almost lift her out of water when she gets going around 20 miles. for the pennant, being the only team that has reached this stage of the race without being defeated and if the Colonials can get over their next three opponents they will have a claim-for the title as every other team in the circuit has gone down to defeat at least once. Washington has two games sched uled for this week, one of them being a' hard game against the Jefferson team tomorrow afternoon and the other against a weaker opponent, the Hijl Military academy, on Thursday. Jefferson has lost three games al ready this season, but with the play ers that the Democrats have this sea son they should have a better record and may make a late season start against Washington. Jefferson has been handicapped by the lack of a pitcher, but in their lat game, Louis Coulter, who twirled his first game of ball, showed up fairly well. The blue and gold equad numbers several hard hitters, on the lineup and Kenneth Scott of the Washington team will have to twirl good ball to keep up his strikeout record. Second Game With Cadet. Washington's second game of the week against the Hill team on Thurs day afternoon will not be as closely contested as the game tomorrow, as the Cadets are not figured to have much of a chance against the Colo nials. Coach Fenstermacher of the Washington team has a couple of second string pitchers in Ragenovich and Sunderleaf. and will probably start one of the two against the Cadets. Tuesday's game will bring together Franklin and Benson, both of which are running a close race for second position in the race for the champion- the season between Ffanklin and Co lumbia and Hill and Lincoln will have to be sandwiched into thd next two weeks' playing schedule. BICKER FINDING STARS Supcrba Star Locates Tlicm Out in Bushes. Nap Rucker is fast being forgot ten by the Brooklyn fans, .but he bids fair to perpetuate his former greatness by producing idols to take his place. vPaul Schrieoer. the pitcher rec commended by Nap Rucker. should win fame after he gains confidence and experience. In J. T. (Zack) Tay lor, Rucker appears to have discov ered a catcher who is already fit for the big league. Taylor has shown thus far that- he is one of the most promising backstops ever brought up from the minors. He is of the Bill Killifer type, of medium height and lightly built, as catchers go. He is faster on his feet, too, than the aver age backstop, while he hits them on a line to the outfield. He handles foul flies with greater confidence than any other rookie catcher we have seen on the first time out. Robbie has not yet permitted any throwing to second, so no opinion in that specialty can be advanced as yet, but the Jacksonvillians who have seen Taylor play, consider him the find of the spring, and are bet ting he will stick in the big show. Meanwhile "Rowdy" Elliott and Paul Beyers are right on Taylor's trail. All may be kept, indicating that Krueger or Miller is likely to go hence.

Phil Neer, last season's chamnion. will not be able to compete again this year in the junior event be cause he is three months over age. The best bets in Portland among the juniors seem to be Ted Steffen and Ed Durham. Amongst the bovs Dan Lewis and Norman Arena should make a strong fight for first honors After dropping the first set of this match with Ralph D.

"Duke" Reilly," former Indianapolis star, who is cavorting in left field for the Bees, says baseball is differ ent in Salt Lake -than any other pface in the country. Because of the short fences and the light air. allowing the ball to travel far, the hjts carom off the boards in the outfield. After the first game in Salt Lake Reilly came back to the bench and said to Johnson: "'Jiou' don't want a ball player for your outfield berth in this park. What you should get is a good pool player to Judge the enclish the ball takes after it hits the fence." Each Nation Permitted to Enter Six Contestants of Whom Four Can Start. American cyclists who will com pete in the 108-mile road race to be held in Antwerp on August 12 in connection with the Olympic games will find the course comparatively level and, suitable for fast riding.. For the most part the route con sists of either cinder or dirt, with the exception of a Jew spots where there is no cycle path adjoining the brick roads. Bicycle troops of the Dutch army will guard the course. With the exception of the territory near Antwerp there is little of the route which has been the scene of German bombardment. The course, which is to measure 170 kilomefers, is roughly star-shaped, with the starting point at Merxen and the finishing line at the velodrome, on the outskirts of the city.' Each nation will be permitted to enter six contestants, of whom four can start. The combined time of the four finishing wiii constitute the team score of the nation, while the first few cyclists to finish will be con sidered for the individual place prizes. The cyclists will start from Merxen, to the north of Antwerp, and after passing through a number of small villages in the direction of the Dutch frontier will arrive at the first control station, which is Esschen. a frontier village on the principal Holland-Belgium railroad. From Esschen they will double back south on another road. and. moving eastward and passing through countless small villages, will com plete the race at the old velodrome. There are two fixed control stations and four voluntary points of control for the races. At Moli. which is ap proximately the half-way mark, there is another supply station.
