BOTH PLAYING FOR MONEY IJenipsey's Training Done Mostly Before Movie Camera Moran Puts Chill In Carpenter. ET LAWRENCE PERRY. (Copyright. 1921, by The Oreionian.) NEW YORK, March 5. (Special.) While New York sporting men who know the financial game in London are laughing at the $750,000 offer made by George McDonald, the Eng lish promoter, for the Dempsey-Car-pentier fight, one finds among some of them a serious doubt that the big mill will ever be held. A man who stands in the forefront of boxing In this state and is closer to the game than most men expressed today to the writer his belief that the big fight will not be held next July. He does not feel and others share his views that the heavyweight champion in the last month has been giving a good imitation of a man who soon is expected to step into the ring against the most rormiaabie opponent he has yet met. He went to California before Christmas, it is pointed out, to begin training for two or three bouts which would put him gradually in shape for the battle with Carpentier. Trainina; Most for Msvies. And how has be been training? Mainly. If not altogether, before the movie camera, and now he is touring in vaudeville. If he and Carpentier had signed up for a contest to show which was the better screen hero or which could draw down the best big time contract on the variety circuit then Dempsey's activity since he left New York would have been of the proper sort. But that does not appear to have been the idea m the mind or Tex Rickard when he undertook to brine the two c -mpions together. What he was looking for was a fight. That is what he is still looking for. Will he be successful? As for Carprntier it cannot be said he has been doing much more than Dempsey. He had intended to In dulge in two or three bouts in Europe and from a letter just received from a London fight critic I gather that his intentions were serious. But just at the wrong moment Frank Moran. the blonde Pittsburger. slipped over his Mary Ann on Joe Beckett's jaw. Carpentier was in Joe's corner, so close that he could hear the hair raising whistle of Moran's glove as It sailed through the air to the Brit isher's waiting jowL Georges Gets Cold Feet. ' Georges, who had promised to meet the winner of the bout, thought bet ter of his decision after seeing Moran fight. He wasn't bashful about giv ing his reason. He said right out loud that Moran might slip one over on him and put him not only out of i that fight but out of the .Dempsey fight as well. - And that would mean a lot of money lost. No Frenchman in these days can think of losing money without a lot of pain. Carpentier may have been four-flushing on this Moran business, stalling the big fellow along until the purse got big enough; if so he is playing it just like a tight hand. Or, again, he may really be afraid to tackle Frank. Most of the n,ngnsn sporting men think he is. And all the sports want to see a Carpentier- Moran fight, or nothing, ho this nas served to keep the Frenchman idle. On the other hand, he didn't spend last summer and fall at Riverside drive and Ninety-sixth street as Dempsey did and he dtdn t bask be fore the movie camera in California's sunny clime, as Jack also did; so per haps he is in better shape man our champion. Carpentier Wants Money. But lie isn't making much money and is. no doubt, ready to take a licking if he has tc in order to drag off his $200,000 share of the Rickard purse. On the other hand, what Dempsey's earnings this year flsht or no fight will be of in terest to the income tax collector. - So far as fighting goes, they say that Dempsey took to heart his unsatisfac tory showing against Knockout Bill Brennan. It gave him a bad Jolt. He held Brennan cheaply in the first place and.didn't train very hard. And after his fight he didn't show any interest at all in meeting Jess Wil lard. According to Bill Tate, Demp sey's sparring partner, they used months after the Billy Miske fight trying to make a boxer out of the champion. Instead of letting him go ahead in his natural fighting manner. w BY L. H. GREGORY. ELL. mates .the old die la cast. Or if not quite fully and com pletely cast as yet, it will be all of that by four bells of the fore noon watch today. At that hour, which, translated into land lingo, is lb o'clock, the steamer Rose City w-ill slip her cable and shove off for Pan Francisco, having aboard ten stout-hearted young men who are regular and prospective players on this season's Portland baseball club, en route via the Pacific ocean for training camp at Santa Maria. Along about two bells of the mid watch tonight, or perhaps as early as six or seven bells of the second dog watch, some of these ballplayers, no doubt, will begin wishing '.that while they were die-caeting they had east the doggone die overboard and gone by train. Judge McCredie was plan ning to send them by train, but Rudy Kalllo and some of the others who had never been very far to sea horned is and asked for the cruise. They wondered why the Judge looked son pityingly at them as he gave his consent, though they would not have wondered if they had ever seen the Judge hanging over the lee rail under the influence of even a light breeze, from the sou'west. The Judge, anil Walt, too, for that matter, would just as soon take a good drink of carbolic acid and be done with ll decently and respectably in their own beds at home as to go to sea again. But the boys wanted the experience of a sea trip, so the judge is giving it to them, and for the first time in his life is praying for a falling ba rometer and heavy weather. The heavier the seas the more the judge wil be tickled. He has borrowed George Shepherd's sea-going barom eter and will sit there in his office and gloat if it shows any signs of dropping. The mercury could drop plumb through the bottom of the glass onto the floor and It wouldn't phase the judge at all. And yet his motive is absolutely altruistic. The boys want the experience and he wants them to have it. The judge called in Del Baker and conferred on him the honorary rating of chief bosun's mate for the dura tion of the cruise. Del, who served In the navy and doesn't give a whoop how high the waves roll, can be quite a salty bird when he tries. From all indications he will be some hard boiled skipper. As soon as the party gets aboard the Rose City he will line up all hand. and divide 'em into port and starboard watches. When he mentioned his plans yesterday Doug Taitt, recruit pitcher, wanted to know If the port watch wasn't something to drink, so Del said he would put Taitt in the port watch with instructions to en force the Volstead act outside the three-mile limit.- Herman Pillette, the big pitcher. has been working in a shipyard all winter, so he figures he should get by in fine style at sea, inasmuch as he already knows the difference be tween the keel and the topping lift. He voluntarily asked Del to assign him to the first dog watch. When Del asked him why he was bo eager for that detail Pillette said that the team would need a mascot and that this might be a fine chance to grab one. Del said that if Pillette felt that way about it he would let him stand both dog watches and stand by besides while the anchor is catted, and would guarantee to square it, moreover, with Captain Macgenn if he got away with either the first or second dog, or even with the first luff. Del assigned to Sylvester Johnson the job of getting pie checks to pre sent to the skipper so the boys can have plenty of pie on the cruise, in accord with a good old salty custom and asked Rudy Kallio to see to it that a couple of hammock ladders are hundy. Johnny Fredericks, the youngest rooky of the squad, was told to shake out his sea legs and to make it snappy. When Del calls the roll aboard the Rose City this morning the following players should respond: Pitchers Rudy Kallio. Sylvester John on. Harmon Pillette and JDousias Taitu Catchers Del Bilker and (jus Flbir. Outfielders Frank Wilson, Art Bourg and Walter Genin, all from the Pacific International league, and Johnny Fred ericks, Portland. Trainer H. A. ileikle. That makes 10 players and one '.rainer, 11 hands in all, and two short of the possible 13 that Walt McCredie so dreaded before he went aouth last week. m Jimmy Poole, first baseman from the Virginia league, will Join the out fit at Santa Maria direct, from the east. Dick Cox, outfielder, hasn't signed up yet and the judge was dis appointed in not receiving the ex pected letter from him yesterday 'laKid NfoTkr his VdviseA coached I H?. ' 'm" rtai"t hfi him In the beautiful art of hitting at long range, jabbing with the left and in-fighting. The result was that he was lucky to send Brennan to sleep in the 12th round. The whole thing, according to report, made Dempsey sick of himself and of the fighting game in general. And he went west to forget all about everything con nected with 1. When he seriously settles down to get himself into shape the best ex perts believe that no one standing in two shoes can beat him. But the speculation now is whehter he will settle down to a July 2 engagement. So far as Tex Rickard is concerned, he appears to be going ahead with his plans, but is not breaking his back hurrying. THE DALLES HOOPERS AVIX Hood Klver American Leg-ion Squad Defeated at Basketball. THE DALLES, Or., March 5. (Spe cial.) The final basketball game of the season, played on the local high school gymnasium floor last night, resulted in a clean-cut victory by The Pallea town team over the Hood River American Legion quintet, 25 to 21. The game was featured with sensational baskets from the center oi the floor, made by players of botj teams. In a girls' game the local Y. W. C. A. team defeated the high school girls' team, 10 to 9. Basebal now occupies, the center of the athletic programme in The Dalles. Approximately 50 boys turned out for practice this week under the coaching of C E. White, formerly of Reed college. With several of las; year's letter men back, the local high school expects to place a strong nine ;n .the ic.ld this season. . . he will be on hand early enough to r;et in shape. As to Marty Krug. the former Salt Lake second baseman is still a tena cious holdout. There's nothing much to be done about his "retirement" un til he plays another card. However, he probably will think it over and decide to return to baseball by the time the season opens. The judge did get one good letter yesterday. It was from Rip King, the sensational young catcher and professional football player, inclosing his signed contract. His signature had been assured, though, from the time when the judge met his terms early last week. v Bob Bescher's case eeems hopeless. Ruby Bob evidently doesn't want to come to the coast, so Walt will have to dig around and find some otlier experienced outfielder. In the mean time, prior to the arrival in the next couple of weeks of the five players, as yet unnamed, from Chicago and Detroit, there will be a host of young players at training camp for Walt to give the once-over. But what of Sam Ross, the globe trotting southpaw, someone may ask. Ross has signed for the season, so why Isn't he with the party? Sam passed about a mouth at sea, going and coming, on his globe-trotting cruise to Japan, so he figures that will be about enough deep water for him. Sam and the writer hereof will shove off together at about six bells this morning on a land cruise in a Chevrolet car via Pacific high way. Sam is an expert driver as well as an expert southpaw, so the driving will be ione on a watch and watch basis- There has been some talk about bad conditions on the highway, but Sam says he has a sure recipe against that- Somebody sent a package. daintily wrapped in white tissue paper and cotton, to Sam in care of Judge McCredie yesterday, and when Sam opened it he found a rabbit's foot therein and a neat card saying the good luck token was from Lotta Games. Sam wonders where ohe lives, as no address was given. This rabbit's foot should just about fix Sam for the season and turn his hard luck of last year into good luck. Sam will carry this rabbit's foot in his starboard hip bocket on the trip to California, and thus equipped it will have to be a mighty tough Jinx that can touch him or the Chevrolet. When he gets to Santa Maria he will shift the rabbit's foot from star board to the port hip pocket of his uniform pants. Then whenever he gets in the hole and has to bear down he can reach back and touch the rabbit's foot with his southpaw, and then cut loose and know everything will be over the platter and un hittable. Sam figures this will In evitably bring him in a lotta games, and inspire the boys to hit in some runs behind him, which was all. he needed last season. Doc Melkle, the Beaver trainer, pointed out to Sam an additional reason to believe that this rabbit's foot is the real fuzz as a good luck piece. The Doc, who is well versed on good luck tokens and knows how to chase a jinx as well as how to soothe a ballplayer's ailing muscles, showed Sam that this rabbit's foot is the left hind foot of the rabbit it represents. He said this was espe cially appropriate and lucky. Inas much as Sam is a outhDaw. whr. as if a mistake had been made anil .Miss Lotta Games had sent the right foot of the rabbit, it would have crossed bam s luck and given him lotta trouble. Harry R. Coffin, a former Harvard Player, has presented a suggestion to the football rules committee for bas ing the time of halves on the number of plays made, instead of on the actual time consumed by play. His Plan seems to have a lot of merit. In explanative memoranda just received here. Mr. Coffin eroes into trrpar ri. tail in explaining the advantages of nis proposed plan, and quotes a mass oi statistics collected by him at many football games. "When a shrewdly coached team ob tains a seven-point lead and has strong regard for the other team," he says in part, "it invariably plays slowly and greatly lowers the number or plays in order to give its oppo nents a minimum opportunity. A team sometimes does this with a three- point lead, a one-point lead, and also even when the score ie a tie. Scoring first Is the vital thing, as many facta win snow. "Harvard and Yale have played T,9 games together and, barring 191G, when the first and second periods were wrongly timed, the side that has scored first has always won. "Yale and Princeton have played 44 games together and when Yale has scored first she has only lost twice. The f-wst time was In "8S when Lamar of Princeton very near the end of the game picked up a loose ball and ran 1H0 yards for a touchdown and goal, thereby winning for Princeton, 6 to 0. The other time was In '03, when De Witt of Princeton about the middle of the second half picked up a loose hall and ran 73 yards for a touch down and goal, thereby winning for Princeton. 11 to 6." He cites figures In all for 104 games, showing that in only three cases has the team that has scored first failed to win. and continued: "By plays a team on the offense can use up four plays before they sur render the ball. Four plays is 10 per cent of 40 plays, the suggested num ber of plays for a period. On the de fense a team by plays can do no stall ing. By time, a team on the offense can use up three minutes in four plays. Three minutes is 20 per cent of 15 minutes, the time of a period. On the defense a team can delay enough so that the offensive team cannot get off four plays in a minute and a half, the proportion of 40 plays in 15 minutes. This shows that there can be more than 100 per cent more stalling by time than by plays, or, in other words, by plays the stalling is reduced more than 50 per cent." Rutherford Expected to Issue Call April 1. BIG TURNOUT EXPECTED Fundamentals to Be Taught aud Several Practice Games WiUiln College Arranged. OREGOV AGRICULTURAL COL LEGE, Corvaliis, March 5. (Special.) Spring football will be one of the Innovations of the athletic depart ment of the college. Coach Ruther ford has announced that about April 1 a call will be Issued !or all football men to turn out for practice. The purpose of the early trainlnsr is to get the men in shape for next season as well as to serve as a means of physical development. Not only will the f undamentais of football bo taught but It is planned to arrance several practice games within the college. Every line of football training with the exception of the final conditioning will take place. Tnraout Kot Compulsory. It will not be required that every football man turn out, but Coach Kutherford is anxious tor all to do s. The advantage of thohe who turn out lor spring practice over those who do not is apparent, he says. The number will not be as large as the fall turnout on acccunt of tli large number of men who are playing baseball und on the track team. Many of this year's freshman squad will aii materially in building up the squad. Practically all of last yt-ar's varsity will be out In uniform again as vc!l as several new men who are almost sure of a berth on the first squad. The vacancies caused by the losse-4 of Charles Rose, end and captain of lat year's squud. Hairy Swan. Marion McCart and Albert Hodler will be hard to fill. With the exception of these four men It is expected the en tire team will be back. The places will be filled by men, from the fresh man squad and several new men who are ill college. Kverett Miller Nrir Addition. Everett Miller, who plaed fullback, on the Long Keach high school team when they won the championship of tho United States, is one of the new addition? to the squad. Miller will be an exceptionally valuable man to the team on account of his punting and kicking ability. He is also considered one of the most accurate forward passers on the coast. Special competition will be arranged In forward passing, drop-kicking and punting. The Aggies have been ex ceptionally weak In this department of the game. Prizes are to be award ed and Rutherford will use consider able time in developing someono to help Miller out. Captain-elect Powell will lie back at his old position at full. He was out of the game last season on ac count of injuries. II TEAMS TO SEEK TITLE B YSJiETBALL CONTESTS TO BE HELD AT WHITMAN.
