Mill Will Be Held.
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.

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

BIG TURNOUT EXPECTED

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.
