BY DICK SHARP.
Portland boxing fans will have to
travel some miles out of the fair
City of Roses if they care to witness
any mitt-wielders in action for the
next two months at least.
George Moore, manager of the Mil
waukie arena, announced yesterday
that his club would remain darkened
until Labor day, a decision having
been reached by the members of the
Milwaukie commission at a meeting
. of that body in Milwaukie yesterday
not to stage another card until that
date at least.
In the meantime Matchmaker Frank
Kendall and George Moore are not
letting grass grow under their feet
and have feelers out to Boy McCor
mick, lightweight champion of Eng
land, and the only Bnglish boxer who
las invaded this country in years that
has not proved a flivver. McCormick
IS perhaps the most popular boxer
that is not a home boy that ever
made his debut before Portland fistic
fans. He is at present in England
trying to force Georges Carpentier
Into a match, but as there is not ny
likelihood of such a bout being
brought about Kendall Is- of the opin
ion that they can .prevail upon him
to return to America in time to meet
the best boy available at the Mil
waukie arena Labor day.
Bout la Unfortunate.
The unfortunate O'Dowd-Ortega af
fair Friday night kept the fans on
the buzz yesterday and for those not
on the inside it is hard to see the
exact proposition. A book could be
written about the various angles that
presented themselves and there would
still be something not made clear.
Kendall and Moore did everything
in their power to prevent the mishap
but could not ward it off.
It was the referee question and that
only which was the reason for calling
off the card. Tommy Simpson btood
pat in that he wanted Denver Ed
Martin or Jack Grant'to referee, while
O'-Dowd signed with the distinct stip
ulation that Martin was not to ref
eree. The Milwaukie commission gave
l'aday Mullins a list of four names
outside of Martin who were eligible
to officiate, those being Mike Butler,
Stanley McDonald, James J. Rlchard
on and Herbert Greenland. It nar
rowed down to three men, as Richard
eon is in California. Mullins finally
ereed to take McDonald on the
strength of the recommendations.
Mullins took McDonald with the un
derstanding that he was agreeable
to Simpson also.
Mmuon Then Butki,
After all the principals were at the
. i 1 n n XT t T r n n 1 d
arena Simpson ouuncu
and said it would be Martin or no
fight. The financial question regard
Ins O'Dowd's guarantee was second
ary and if the referee could have been
straightened out Moore stated that he
would have gone through with the
match if it had cost him another $5000
on top of what he had lost on the
card during the Shrine convention.
His stand is entitled to consideration,
for if he had wanted to call the show
off to save money he could have done
eo in the first meeting of Ortega and
O'Dowd, when there was a deficit of
over $5500 in the house and he knew
it long before the .match started.
O'Dowd at the time offered to call ,it
off but Moore stood .pat and took his
medicine. The Friday night affair,
if it had gone through, would have
been a loser of more than $2500 or
$3000.
But when two fighters themselves
cannot get together it is out of the
promoter's power.
A thine which should really be
stepped is the general stdmpede of
tho one-dollar boys at every show.
All of the smart ones buy dollar seats
and as soon as the first bout is on
make a grand rush for the ringside
Keats that are vacant. As yet no soiu
tion has been offered, as to how to
check the "landslide.
Paddy Mullins and Mike O'Dowd
left for New York yesterday -morning,
two regretful men. Both seemed to
be sincere in that they were sorry
that such an occurrence had to come
about and said that they hoped some
time to repair the incident. Mullins
also manages Harry Wills, the giant
colored heavyweight, who meets rrea
Fulton in New York next Thursday
night. Mullins landed the match for
Wills the day before he left for Port
land and has to be back in time to
handle his boxer.
'
Among those well known in fistic
circles on the Pacific coast who were
on hand for the scheduled O'Dowd
Ortega match -we're: Fred Winsor,
discoverer of Jr ck Dempsey and pres
ent manager of Bud Ridley, his "Little
Dempsey," who he says will be the
next bantamweight champion of the
world; Jimmy Duffy, Oakland light
weight and claimant of the coast
title; Billy Williams of Seattle, f fir
mer lightweight boxer and present
owner of a sporting publication; Sid
Brunn of Seattle: Don Shields, Sacra
mento boxing promoter, and others.

Frank E. Watkins, chairman of the
Portland Boxing commission, made the
nnounaement several weeks ago that
there would not be any cards under
the auspices of the local boxing body
during the summer. Matchmaker
Bobby Evans has been entertaining
the idea of experimenting with a Sat
urday afternoon card at the Vaughn
street ball park, but as yet has. not
gone into details or made any defi
nite decision.
REED PACKS HARD WALLOP
'Spud" Murphy Pay? Tribute to
Tacoma Boxer.
"Spud" Murphy, who Is reputed to
be the toughest light heavyweight on
the Pacific coast, has metsome tough
nomores during his career as a boxer.
Spud is easy to hit and can hit
hard himself and the other day he
was asked if he had ever met a man
whom he thought could knock him
out.
You re dern tootin'" answered
-Spud," "this 'Wild Bill' Reed, the
boy I knocked out in Tacoma, is the
hardest puncher I have ever seen and
the roughest fighter. He hit me on
the neck, threw me out of the ring
and broke my ankle and every time
he punches he burns the air. That
boy can hit harder than any man of
his weight in the world, bar none,
and airy one he hits Is going down."

NAME TABOO IS APPROVED ' !
RACKETS NOT TO BE NAMED
AFTER TITLE HOLDERS.
Action Is Generally Indorsed by
Players and Clubs Who Think
Sport , Is Protected.
The resolution adopted by the ex
ecutive committee of the United
States Lawn Tennis association de
signed to put an end to the practice
of manufacturers of tennis rackets
naming their product after famous
players universally is considered a
step in the right direction for the
protection of the good name of the
sport.
While the United States tennis
authorities are satisfied that Ameri
can players after whom rackets have
been named have in no wise benefited
financially from the practice, the fact
remains that nine out of ten persons
among the public are of the opinion
that the player has permitted the use
his name in return for some mone
tary consideration.
According to the report of the ex
ecutive committee, which has sound
ed the proposition, both players and
manufacturers have signified their
willingness to discontinue the prac
tice, so the chances are that from
now on no tennis rackets will carry
the names of prominent players.
The practice seems to be as old as
the records o? the game in this coun
try. R. E. Sears, who was the na
tional singles champion from 1881 to
1887 inclusive, had a racket named
after him. as did H. W. Slocum Jr.,
O. S. Campbell and others who suc
ceeded to the title.
Terry Release Is Mystery.
Just why Zeb Terry was permitted
to getaway from the Pirates is rather
mystifying, in view of the excellent
work the veteran has done around the
keystone sack since his acquisition by
the Cubs. Terry has been in the game
PROMOTER CHARGES ORTEGA
OF BEING AFRAID OF MURPHY
Tommy Simpson Likewise Declared to Have Declined All Overtures
Looking to Such An Engagement Leonard Go Causes Flurry.
. BY HARRY B. SMITH.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 10. (Spe
cial.) Frank Lawlor, who helps
promote fights at Dreamland rink
as well as manage divers ecrappers,
is trying to wsrk up a bout between
pud Murphy and Battling Ortega, the
Oakland middleweight. Lawlor'a
propaganda consists largely of the
assertion that Ortega is afraid of
Spud and that Tommy Simpson has
declined any and all overtures look
ing to such an engagement.
As proof, Lawlor has been waving
a letter that reached him one day
from a Seattle promoter in which
the promoter explained he had been
anxious to stage such a bout but
Simpson had replied there was noth
ing doing; that he weighed 170
pounds and was too big for Ortega.
"Ortega never did want to fight
Murphy," says Lawlor. "As to weight,
Simpson knows he is exaggerating
when he makes such a statement.
Just to prove it, I put Murphy on the
scales this morning and he weighed
172 pounds, clothes and all. Spud
can and will make 168 pounds for a
championship fight and he will do a
weight for Ortega that is reasonable.
But I'm afraid Ortega will continue
to dodge the issue."
It's quite up to Simpson. now, if he
wishes to keep the argument before
the public.
Reports of the Leonard-White fight
in Benton Harbor have caused the
fight fans to sit up and take notice.
They are wondering whether Leonard
is slipping. Most of the fight stories
indicate that White was doing the
forcing for at least seven rounds;
that Leonard looked the more tired of
the pair and that White might have
taken down the newspaper decision
had he been careful Instead of lower
ing his guard in that fateful ninth
round.
It is probably true that the long
absence Leonard has enjoyed from
the fight gp? fcas done him no good

for a long time and has played on
many teams, yet right now he is
about as clever a fielding second
baseman as there is In the national
league. He covers a wide range of
territory and is death on hard hit
ground balls, while his throwing is
exceptionally good. He isn't a ter
rific hitter, but he fits well Into a
team that has -eome hard hitters in
its lineup. Perhaps he wont win many
games for the Cubs with his stick
work, but he'll save a lot of them
with his fielding.
Waterbury Wants Big Bout.
George Mulligan, boxing promoter
of V.'aterbury, Conn., is the first man
in
the field with an offer for the'
prospective fight between Georges
Carpentier, the French champion, and
Battling Levinsky. Through his New
York representative, Clarence Gillis
pie, the Waterbury promoter offers
$60,000 for the battle. Mulligan has
an open air arena which seats 15.000.
and that he needs a match or so to
put him in condition. But unless
Charlie White, the veteran, is a lot
better than I can possibly figure is
the case, he is not the boy to show
up the champ.
The big thing of course is that
Leonard won and that he won ao de
cisively there can be no quibbling.
White can't call for any return en
gagements or anything -of the sort.
He was put out for keeps and that
about settles it.
Four-round fight folks, or manyof
them, took a week off during the
democratic convention. Captain Dan
O'Brien of the San Francisco police
department, who censures the four
rounders in his "idle" moments, took
charge of the police arrangements at
4he convention.
Kayo Kruvosky stubbed his toe the
other night in his match against
Hugh Walker and as a result of the
fight being stopped in the 'third by
Referee Toby Irwin and called no
contest is once more in bad favor.
Some time ago Kruvosky incurred
the displeasure of the powers that be
and was ruled off. Later the officials
relented and Kruvosky's first match
was against Harlan Bunker, and he
put up a good fight.
Then he signed with Walker, who,
as a heavyweight fighter, is a good
watchmaker. Kayo was winning all
right enough, but he didn't fight with
the vim that he usually does and so
far as his vicious left was concerned,
it might as well have been tied to
his back. Irwin warned the men and
later stopped the bout, indicating that
ne considered ivayo was at fault.
I had a talk with Kruvosky later.
He claims there was nothing wrong;
that he had been told to outbox
Walker and let it go at that. His
excuse was that Walker outweighed
Mm 30 pounds at least and was there
fore a dangerous opponent.
The excuse was a good one for just
about a round. After that Kruvosky
should have sailed in.

r,E boxers superstitious?
This question has been put to
me on Quite a few occasions. 1
generally wanted to say "No.." But
1 hesitated.
Sometimes T countered with the re
ply, "Are you?"
The questioner as a rule insisted
that he didn't have a superstitious
hair in his head. I felt instinctively
that he had never taken part in an
important athletic encounter. I would
never admit that I was inclined to
woo the goddess of fortune, but I
guess I have Just as every other
boxer has. College athletes, baseball
players, billiard stars and other lead
ers in the sport world have proved
to be the prey for foolish notions. Not
being much of a psychologist I cannot
define the reasons why I have done
nbrtain thine II T1 rl nAVA AVnMfd do-
in,i other things, especially before an
important bout. But I believe the
kernel of the reason is an jnstlnct v.
desire to avoid doing anything which
might cause worry or Distraction.
' ? ' Sinb hTMn'' July 18' Showers from Tacoma.
A distinction can be drawn between . fhhnli, r.i Rou s.v.
prove a powerful element of lnspira
tion. If a baseball player becomes
attached to a certain bat it is quite
natural that his confidence may not
be 100 per cent when he is obliged to
use another war club for the first
time.
Bath Robe a Jinx.
Before I beoame a boxer I did a
little wrestling. After graduating
from amateur mat work In the St.
Taul Y. M. C. A. 1 engaged In a few
exhibition bouts with a veteran grap
pler. It seemed proper that I should
wear a bath robe into the ring and
I got one. I lost the next three or
four bouts. One night I forgot the
TCe and I won. A couple more vic
tories followed. Then I put on the
robe and a defeat was the conse
quence. 4 decided the covering was a
Jinx.
The feeling remained when I began
my
career as a boxer. A t. raui
business man presented me with a
beautiful robe and ha was disap
pointed when I did not wear It into
the ring for my next bout. I told him
the robe was entirely too good to
spoil in a prize ring. Then Mrs. Gib
bons gave me one; it, too, was won
derful it had all the colors of the
rainbow and a few extra ones. I
wtir it at home once in a while.
The most trying time for a boxet
is whea ha has reached top-notch
condition for a bout and feels that
he is about on edge. Deviations from
routine are likely to disturb him.
Unless things go "just so" he is likely
to fidget. Perhaps we may call thi
feeling strain. When I reached that
stage I became as pleasant as a
catamount. Once, while training in
the east, this condition became ao
pronounced that foi the first time in
my career I came within an ace of
participating in a street bout. The
other fellow was Soldier Bartfield.
But that's a story for another day.
On one occasion, when I was in St.
Paul training for a big bout, I decided-
to spend the morning on the
road. I walked to a lake about three
miles from my home. My intention
was to walk part and run part of the
way back. I began the return trip
with a steady Jog and soon ap
proached a clump of trees Just off the
road to my left. Suddenly a black
cat emerged from the weeds ahead of
me and to my right. it sprintea
across the road and disappeared jn
the woods.
Not Superatltlona, bat
"Black cat bad luck," was my first
thought. "Oh, shucks, don't be a
boob," was my second. "Go ahead,"
was my third. "Better not," was the
fourth brainstorm. I had stopped. I
did not have the slightest respect for
the black cat myth but?
Suddenly I decided that my road
work had been sufficiently atrenu
oue. I ran back to the lake and
started home via a roundabout route
on the other side of the woods. When
I approached the forest a powerful
sprint seemed advisable. The hun
dred yards was covered In about nine
and two-fifths seconds. I didn't see
the cat.
It is surprising how a boxer be
comes accustomed to routine. Dur
ing the latter years of my career
either my brother Tom or mjr man
asrer. Eddie Kane, was in my corner.
Quite often both were there. When
the gong sounded for the Qpenine
rcund it was their custom to slaD
me on the back and say. "Good luck,
Mike."
I never thought anything of this
until one night the bell rang while
Kane and Tommy were out of my
. corner. o o iefu -v 1110 iniuuio
! o; tl.e rlnr; I realized the usual sen-J-
off was missing. That incident played
in my mind and actually bothered
until I got warmed up to the task.

OUIMET FAVORS 400 YARDS'
TELL-TALE IN ALL MATCHES
More Rigorous Test, Requiring Good Tee Shot, an Iron and Putter
Would Remove Objection to Extra Hole Play, Is Writer's Opinion.
BY FRANCIS OUIMET. !
HEN Bob Gardner lost the Brit
ish amateur championship to
Tolley on the 37th. or extra
w
hole, of their match at Muirfield a
few weeks ago the thought that I
trrv. have held in mind
? f n r some vears
riJ: for some
j jrr t found another
i-5 .-- :;S substantial ex
t -i" ' J pie that when

able 10
wage an even bat
tle inrougn jo
holes o f match
play that the test
usually given
them to decide
which" is the bet
ter of the two
should be other
than it usually is.
In the case of
Gardner going down befora Tol
ley the extra hole was a short
affair a tee shot with an iron
being ample to place a fair golfer on
the green. Now while an iron shot of
this nature is a test of golf, I do not
think it marks the difference between
two men of equal ability over a 36-
hole course. That test should be more
rigorous, a more all-around one, one
that should bring into play more dif
ferent strokes. . -,-
Short Hole Argued.
I, for one. think that when matches
are squared the tell-tale should not
be a short hole, but one. say, of-400
yards and up, that would bring into
play a moire rigorous test, requiring,
as such a' hole does, a good tee shot,
an iron and the putter. That would
remove . the one objection to extra
hole matches, which I believe Is an
important one. v . .
Now. I am not setting this down as
an alibi for Gardner. What is fair for
one player is fair for another. But it
seems to me that while a committee
is abroad discussing the rules of golf
that it might do well to consider this
point. All of which leads to other in
cidents in match play that have a
bearing upon the subject I have just
proposed as one needing attention.
Let us see ' what has happened in va
rious extra-hole matches. Perhaps I
might frankly become a post-mortem-1st
at the outset.
Extra Hole Necessary.
Back In 1911 the .late Fred Herres
hoff was badly out of luck in losing
to Harold Hilton in the amateur. At
one time Hilton was six up and 13 to
go, only to have Fred rally and, by
dint of magnificent pluck, square the
match dVi the home hole.- An extra
hole or so was necessary. In this
case it was a two-shotter, and Hilton
sliced his second so badly that it
struck well into the rough. Luck was
with Hilton that, day, for the ball
rebounded from a friendly rock and
landed on the green close to the cup.
As a result Hilton won the decision.
But how much better it happened on
a two-shotter than or . a o.i.

UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene
July 10. (Special.) Accompanied by
Bill Hayward, trainer; Henry Foster
of John Day and Kenneth Bartlett of
Estacada and Arthur Tuck of Red
mond, have left for Tloston to take
part in the national tryouts for places
on the team which will represent the
United States in the Olympic games at
Antwerp, Belgium. The tryouts will
be held in Harvard stadium, July 17,
and the men expect to arrive in Bos
ton a few days early in order to rest
up from the long trip.
The three entries from the Univer
sity of Oregon will be the only entries
from a northwest college, and outside
of the university of California. Ore
gon will be the only coast Institution
with entries. All other athletes who
won places at the Pasadena tryouts
will be sent east by athletic clubs.
Foster will enter the 220-meter run
and the broad jump. Foster has for
the past three years been a consistent
performer in the broad jump and tho
100 and 220 dashes in intercollegiate
meets, and his record of 23 feet 10
inches in the broad jump was the best
made in this country this year. Fos
ter failed to place in the Pacadena
tryouts. bat was recommended for
the Boston tryouts on his past record.
Bartlett Leads Country
Bartlett who took first place in
Pasadena with the disous with
throw of 143 feet 3 inches, made tho
best record Jn the country this year
in that event. He will enter tho dis
cus only in the Boston meet, and
according to Hayward, has a very
strong chance of placing on the
American team.
Tuck, who has just finished his
first year in college, will enter the
javelin and decathlon. Tuck placed
second in tho javelin in the Pasadena
tryouts with a throw of 177 feet
John F. Hammer of tho Olympic club
took first place with 178 . feet 11
inches. Tuck was not in the best of
condition at the time of the western
tryouts, and is capable of doing bet
ter when In more perfect condition.
He has thrown the javelin better than
180 feet in practice.
The decathlon, which consists of
ten events, the javelin, discus, pole
vault. 100-meter, 400-meter, 120-meter,
high hurdles, broad jump, high jump
and 1500-meter, is entered only by
very versatile athletes. Tuck, who
distinguished himself by winnng an
interscholastc track meet held at the
University of Oregon two years ago
single-handed is capable of perform
ing in practically all of the events of
the decathloji.
Tuck Does Fast Work.
He first won fame by entering in
all the events of a regular inter
scholastic track meet and placing in
each. He was strongest In the 100
and 220 dashes, the high -jump, broad
1umD and weight events. Lately, how
ever, he has been concentrating on
the lavelin.
All three of Oregon's entries In the
national tryouts have been prominent
in collegiate athletics. . Foster has
been captain of the track team of
Oregon for the past two years, and
has been high point winner for Ore
gon in every meet he entered. Bart
lett has performed on the track for
Oregon -all season, and was a member
hole. All of us have similar expe
riences. Luck will turn the day. Yet
luck is not so likely to do so on the
longer holes.
I recall once coming to the home
hole all square In an important match.
This hole measured some 400 yards,
but as we faced a high wind, it was
equivalent to 50 -yards more. Both of
us got off well,-his a bit away.
Forcing his second, he pulled it into
a sand-trap some 80 yards away.
I landed 10 feet from the cup and
naturally felt a sure winner. I was
doomed to receive a horrible surprise.
Opponent Wlna on Loif Game.
Out of the trap came my opponent's
ball, and when it came to rest it was
snug In the cup. As I nearly fainted,
you may rest assured I missed mine
and the match. Had we squared that
hole and been forced to play the extra
one I was counting on a certain win,
as the first was a short affair, one
that I counted oh taking because I
was a much better man with my short
iron shots. My opponent held me even
and won because of his fine long
game and splendid putting.
Thus, you see how much better my
chances were had the match been
carried an extra hole. It was one par
ticularly favoring me In that match.
as it called for but one shot to the
green. It would not have been quite
a fair test of golf had we played it:
A-dmlt Room for Improvement.
Yes. there is room for Improvement
in this part of the game. True, as I
have said, what is fair for qne is fair
for another. But is not the short
extra hole as a deciding factor much
like settling a match with one- club?
Let us suppose it happened to be a
putter and Travis was your opponent,
a man you had held even because of
your long game.
Would that be fair to you? Or let us
resume it required a mashie to turn
the- tide and Evans was your oppo
nent, a man you had held even be
cause of your long game. Would that
be fair? I scarcely think so. What
we all want is a test of the all
around game.

Real Tobacco Chew than
you get out of the ordi
