There will also be the canoe championship. The four-oar barge and singles races will be pulled over a course of 1 miles with a turn The course will be in Glorietta bay, just off Coronado tent city.

SMITH. AN FRANCISCO. June 19. (Spe cial.) Jack Dempsey seems to have made friends for himself. not so much with the sporting ele ment, as with the world at large, as result of his trial here in the fed- ral court. The government Is going to claim that it is a technical acquittal; that had the prosecution been permitted to produce the letters Dempsey wrote his now former wife, there would have-been a different story to telL But trials must be taken as they come and the fact remains that in no way has the government provea what it set out to prove that Jack Dempsey is a slacker. I'm not writing my conclusions from the standpoint of a sporting writer, for in this game one might v nrflndiced. But I'm taking the word of the reporters who covered thn trial. The trial has been handled by re porters from the local room; in other words, by men and women who have nothintr to do with the fighting game. And not one of these writers, who doubtless approached the work with more or less distaste lor a prize fighter, but has been won over Dy Dempsey. The Chronicle naa wuiimu re porter covering the trial. Before .it was half way over she was convinced that Jack Dempsey waa a muchly maligned man and that lt was a shame to have forced him to triaL The ex-wife, Maxine Dempsey, showed herself for the sporting wo man that she is. She made no hit with the jury. On the other hand, according to those who were in con stant attendance, Dempsey's mother won iniitant favor with the Jury. Such wiis the case when Dempsey wpnt on the witness stand and told his stoiy of the support given his mother and father and his wife, and how he would have been glad, indeed to have bought a home for Maxine and setje down to the right sort of a life. That sentiment in San Francisco and I fan say truthfully, it is pre valent here Is bound to be reflected in other parts of the country. I ve heard a lot of folks talking about the case and about Dempsey. A majority think that wnne Dempsey possibly was not so anxious to get into active service that there are thousands of others who avoided either the army or the navy and that It is unfair to discipline jacK aimpiy because he has been a fighter and in the limelight. Billy Gibson estimates that the in jury to Leonard's leg by which the lightweight champion was forced to cancel his three fights on the coast. cost the scrapper and his manager in the neighborhood of $32,500. Gibson says the San Francisco fight against Jimmy Duffy would have brought ln $7600, and that the fight in Portland during Shrine week, and later in Seattle would have meant another $25,000. In a wire to a San Francisco friend. Gibson sent word from Los Angeles that he was up in the air and sorry about it all. No wonder that he feels as he does. Benny, of course, has made good money in the moving picture game. but his film results, financially, are small as compared to what he could have produced ln the ring. Of course some of the Duffy ad' herents in San Francisco have tried to make' it appear that Leonard was afraid of the Oakland lad and can celled his fight rather than take a stein said Jack Kearnn, manager of I chance. That's all foolishness. A Dempsey, had approved this amount i man who has won a title In the ring soft and in no condition to take on his coast engagements. His first fight, unless there is still a further switch in the programme, will be on the afternoon of July 6, at Benton Harbor, Mich., when he boxes Charlie White of Chicago. White is a Chicago boy and Benton Harbor is a matter of a two hour trip from the Windy City. Larney Lichtenstein, Chicago box ing manager and promoter, says the advance sales for the Leonard-White battle are already in the neighbor hood of $15,000 and he predicts a $40,000 house when the two lads meet. Larney, by the way, came here to testify in the Dempsey trial and didn't stay long as his presence was required ln Chicago. Gunboat Smith has accepted an offer to box Tony Melchoir in East Chicago, Ind., on June 26, and will leave Los Angeles at once, announces Frank Carter, his manager. East Chicago, while in Indiana where fights are permitted, is but half an hour's train ride from the business section of Chicago. An arena has been constructed seating 8000 and if tne fans show an interest there will be fights all along. Lichtenstein is also Interested in the East Chicago venture. He says that on last Labor Day they had a couple of ordinary fighters and drew close to $10,000, so he thinks with any sort of a card it will be an easy matter to get the coin. Lee Anderson, the negro heavy weight who beat Gunboat Smith and Darcy and then came back to stage two bad fights, one at the Coliseum, where he was thrown out of the ring and another at Dreamland, when he deliberately allowed Spud Murphy to stay the four rounds, is through so far aa San Francisco is concerned. . He is wanted no more and the in timation has been conveyed to him that his room ia a lot better than his company. Lee is a fighter worth while when he wants to be, but off coior oouts or the variety in which he has embarked no pun Intended have killed him off. One of the sporting writers started the story that Anderson is masque rading under a fictitious name and that he is in reality one Blackburn, who in the days of Joe Cans was considerable of a' lightweight and I afterward made a name for himself witn heavier men of the ring. it is possiDie, of course, that such is the "case. Anderson does resemble Blackburn, according to pictures. mougn x nave never seen Blackburn However that may be Blackburn or Anderson there is one negro chap who might aa well pack up his little Kit nag and move along to the next stopping ptace. Club rowing is enjoying a strong revival all over the Pacific coast and before the season is over the game is expected to regain the popularity it had during pre-war days. The Portland Rowing club, the first on the coast to open the season, staged its annual spring regatta recently under the direction of Captain Fred Newell and got off to a good start, for the meet was a pronounced suc cess. The next venure of the local row ers will be a regattar to be held July 4 at St. Helens. The St. Helens chamber of commerce will send a steamer to Portland to pick up the shells, members of the Portland Row ing club and their friends who wish to take in the regatta. The regatta at St. Helens will serve as a final tryout for the rowers who are expected to represent the local club in the North Pacific Association of Amateur Oarsmen's annual regat ta, which will be held July 16 and 17 on Shawnigan lake under the au spices of the Victoria, B. C, Rowing club. Immediately following the St. Hel ens meet Captain Newell will make his selections for the trip north. Vancouver. B. C.; Victoria. B. C: Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, and Portland will be the four cities of the north west to be represented in the North Pacific regatta. The first day of the meet will be turned over to the junior events, while the open senior cham pionships will be on the day follow ing. The James Bay Athletic club, the famous organization of Victoria that has turned out so many crack crews in the past, is making great prepara tions for the event and under the leadership of Dan O'Sullivan, the vet eran stroke and dean of oarsmen on the coast, should prove to be espe cially dangerous to the other crews of the northwest. Rowing activities at Vancouver, B. C, will open on June 26, when the first races of the season will be staged under the auspices of the Van couver Rowing club, and they in clude fours, pair oars, singles and canoe races. The so-called Pacific coast cham pionships will be rowed this year at San Diego, Cal., on July 11. It will be a coast champlonsnip in name only, as it is many years since the oars men of the northwest and California have competed against each other. Rowing conditions in the two sec tions are different and' this makes lt difficult to bring about a meeting for the real Pacific coast champion ships. In the northwest, the racing is done for championship events in reg ulation shells. In California they are rowed in heavy lap-streak barges. due to the fact that wind and water conditions make it impossible for a shell to live on the waters around San Francisco. Greater progress in coast rowing could be made if the Cali fornia and northwest clubs could get together for a real coast champion ship event next year. The "fightingest fighter" of them all. That's the title that Mike O'Dowd, former middle-weight cham pion who fights Battling Ortega at the Milwaukie arena next Thursday night, has gained throughout the country, and he rightly deserves the honor. Mike is not one of the Gibbons boys when it comes to science, nor does he depend upon ring strategy to win. but rather on his good old right-hand wallop that hu put some of the best boys in the business to sleep. He has scored many knockouts in his short career and every one of them has been dealt by his trusty right-hand wallop. Several weeks ago. O'Dowd tech nically lost his title to an unknown named Johnny Wilson, but there are few fight fans in this country who are willing to hand Mr. Wilson any thing on St- Pauls great middle weight fighter. O'Dowd's Victories Numerous. It waa in 1913 when Mike was only IS years old that Jack Reddy, a pro motor In St. Paul "discovered" O'Dowd strapping in a back alley. Having Mike Gibbons in his stable then, Reddy saw great possibilities ln O'Dowd. He signed him up and Mike was started. Under the toutoring of Mike Gib bons, the famous phanton, O'Dowd was broken into the professional busi ness. Two months after Reddy found him, O'Dowd had his first professiona fight. It was a "sneak affair, be cause the game wasn't legalized a the time. He won easily by a knock out in one round. Mike had six fights hat year and won them all by knock outs, his most important kayo being inflicted on Mike Brown of MInne apolis. who in those days was pretty good. Good ShowinK Made. He stepped out after bigger gam in 1914 and made another year of sen sational showings. It was then tha the fans saw championship possibil ities. In 1915 O Dowd numbere among his victims Walter Monaghan. Tommy Murphy. Billy Miske. now contender for the heavyweight title Willie Schaeffer and Freddie Gilmore His knockout of Gilmore startled th boxing world as Gilmore was the considered one of the best boys in th business. But lt was not until November. 1917, that Mike took the boxing world off its feet by knocking out Al McCoy, the middleweight champion, in th sixth round at Brooklyn. But whil the victory was a surprise, the fan at once acclaimed him the middle weight champion and he became most popular fighter among the rail birds. Previous to his victory ove McCoy, in 1917, Mike showed his class by stepping with the best boys in and out of his class. He went the limit with Champion Jack Britton, Frank Carbonne, Soldier Bartfield, Ted Lewis, Silent Martin end all the rest of them. After winning the championship. Mike found the war at its height in Europe. He put his championship away in the safe and hiked off with Uncle Sam's forces. After a short training in this country. he was shipped to France. Gibbons Battle Hard One. In June, 1919, Mike started in to take on everybody who made a chal lenge to him.

NORTHWESTERN NINE WINS Ladd & Tilton Tossers Are feated by 9-0 Score. Bankers' League Standings, W. L. Lefts and Rights. w HEN Johnny Sheppard, the Eng lish lightweight champion, who meets Harry Schuman in the ten- round main event of tomorrow night's card at the armory, first started in to battle in England he fought as many as five times a week. In England some of the smaller clubs hold four shows a week at least, giving several matinee per formances. The bouts are limited to six rounds and if the boys get $5 or $6 they consider themselves lucky. Johnny relates when one time he was stacked up against a youngster he put the latter away in the first round. The promoters brought out another boy and told Johnny ' he would have to battle some more. That part of It waa not so bad, but when time came to pay off, the promoters only paid Sheppard for one fight, and a mighty Iw dollars for that. Several local boys have complained of late of treatment received at the hands of Nick Randich. one of the Aberdeen, Wash., boxing promoters. It seems that several weeks ago a local manager of boxers sent two battlers to Aberdeen to fill out one of Randich's bills. It is said Randich did not call by long distance tele phone until nearly midnight, while the boxers naa to leave at 8 o clock in the morning. The local manager told Randich it would be impossible to line anything up. but at the pro moter's earnest plea said he would do his best to send the boys up, who would box an exhibition, but not a fight. This was agreeable to Randich and he agreed to pay their expenses and a set purse. The night of the fight the boys had been stepping around in fas stvle for a round. When time came for the second canto Referee Tex Vernon stepped in and stopped the bout, saying he would not referee any exhibitions, despite the fact that the boxers had gone to Aberdeen with the knowledge that they were only to box an exhibition, and as a favor to Randich at that. When time came to pay off he gave the boys the house money, but re fused to pay them back what they had spent for railroad fare, after he had agreed to pay their expenses. Now the local manager who advanced the boys the railroad fare is on the war path. It is reported that there is a boxing commission in Aberdeen and If there is, such cases are just what they are needed for, to keep the promoters straight.
