CIRCLING the EARTH III lUliLLII UnULUnLL ,11 iSsw HELD UNPROFITABLE Answer Made to Wails From Major Leagues. NATIONAL WORST OF TWO American Declared to Have "o Reason to Coniplalu of Show ings by Ks Ilurlcrs. BY GEORGE CHADWICK. (Copyright. 1)121. by The Or(tonlan.) Why all of this wailing about pitch ers, about ball, about bat and about pretty much of everything else which doesn't happen to meet the fancy for the moment of any manager whose team is not doing as well as he ex pected? For the benefit of the fans 1 have made a comparison up to June 2 of this year, estimating the prob able success of the pltchaTs for this season as against their achievements one year ago. I don't see that the American league has much about which to complain. For instance, Jones of Boston, is away better than he was in 1920. If he keeps on as he is going he will be one of the stars of the circuit. Cleve land can't kick about Coveleskie ior his ratio of victories for 1921, if con tinued, will give him a higher rating than he had last year. Bagby of Cleveland, is 12 points off his 1920 rating. If he does not Improve he will be likely to lose twice as many games in 19"! as he did last year. Bagbyti however, is of the Improving kind and it is too early for Cleveland to dispair of him. Malta .Not I'p to Standard. Mails of Cleveland has not lived up to the phenomenal showing he made in 1920 but it could not be ex pected that he would. He is doing better every day and by the middle of July should be pitching .667 which is enough for all championship purposes . On the other hand, Uhle of Cleveland is pitching much more successfully this year than last. There has been a lot of talk about Shocker of St. Louis, slipping. He shows no sign of it when you review his work from the beginning of the season. On the contrary he is pitch ing better than he did last year. If he keeps on as at present he will have four or five more victories and per . haps three or four less defeats at the finish. Mogridge of Washington and Hoyt of New York are doing better than they did in 1920. Carl Mays of the Tankees is pitching almost exactly to the form he displayed in 1920. Erlck son and Zachary of Washington are running In the same channel and holding so well to the course that one would almost believe a winter had not elapsed between efforts of 1920 and those of 1921. Faber Doing Better. Faber of Chicago Is doing better and the same is true of Rommel of Philadelphia. Collectively, the De troit pitchers, except Ehmke and Leonard, are meeting with better re sults. Leonard is less effective and compares badly with both 1919 and 1920. Kerr of Chicago is another pitcher of reputation who is wallow ing In the high seas. Pitching looks worse in the Na tional league. Much of the complain ing is coming from the senior organ ization and many of its star pitchers have been floundering hopelessly. Alexander and Vaughan of the Cubs are away back. Alexander, of course, has been unable to do much work. Vaughan isn't winning as often pro portionately as in 1920. Tyler, on the other hand, has oeen more successful although he hasn't pitched much. In Pittsburg, Cooper is miles ahead of his last year's record. Pittsburg's youngsters have been a winning sol ace to the Pirates and Hamilton, who has borne the brunt of the losses, is no worse than he was a year ago. Glaata' Pltrkrn Off. The Giants haven't been able to get their pitchers going well enough to last through a game but by patching them together and using two to a contest they are winning. Toney and Nehf have been more successful than they were last year. Barnes is thought by some not to be up to form, but he Is doing every bit as well as he did a year ago. Cadore and I'feffer of Brooklyn have dropped perceptibly. Each of them is more than ten points off. Ruether is five points worse than he was with Cincinnati. The other Brooklyn pitchers are running on an even keel. Filiingim is much better for Boston than he was last year. Mc Quillan is fully as good. In Cincinnati Marquard has dropped 50 points. The St. Louis pitchers are showing no improvement, and that in itself, is sufficient to indicate why St. Louis Is not doing much. i BT DICK SHARP. THE high price of boxing. There are few boxing promoters In the game today who can boast of a summer and winter suit. The fight ers have it all. .The Mllwaukie arena lost more money on the Mike O'Dowd-Battling Ortega fight than the total losses at tained by the Portland boxing com mission during its entire existence before and after the ten-round law. Main event matches which are fig ured to draw capacity houses fall down dismally, while bouts which are figured not better than break-even affairs turn out huge winners. Tak tng It all in all. the boxing game is about the most uncertain proposition in all sports promotion. A bad de cision, a poor fight, a poorly handled show and a hundred other things will keep the fans away and ruin a club in a day. The fans will support poor baseball to the en'd and go to see any kind of a football or basketball game, but give them a card of poor fights and they are off for life. Boxers Demanding; More. Boxers are now demanding and get ting more money throughout the United States than ever before in his tory. Unheard-of sums have been paid boys in New York since the res toration of the game in that state. The sky-high flight of purses set a pace all through the land, and if a promoter cares to stage an attractive match he must pay the price. And it is not only the easterners, southerners and northerners who want the money, but the local boys do as well. However,- when you come right down to it, how many of the fans in a house on fight night would step in the ring and take a lacing that the boy they are applauding and urging on is. for $75, $100 or $150? The lat ter sum is absolutely top for a six round match in Portland or Mil-waukle. Say a boxer gets even $150 for a six-round match, and th,ere hasn't been one get more than that in Port land for a year, to box six rounds. How long will that last? The prob abilities are that he is lucky if he gets two fights a month. He must pay his traning expenses, pay for be ing rubbed down, pay his board, room, Incidentals and perhaps split with a manager. It can hardly be said that such a boxer Is overpaid and most of them are getting only from $75 to $100 for six rounds of battling. Many times thejr are badly cut and suffer tin ears, which means a big doctor bill. Quality Cmti Money. The only possible cause for com plaint can be on the prices paid to main eventers and to get a boy of any class at all the price he demands must be met. They can get it in the east or in any other part of the coun try and In many places fight no-decision contests. Pal Moore was guar anteed $800 for four rounds In Seat tle, Jack Britton is said to have re ceived $2500 for four rounds in Seat tle. Willie Jackson, Battling Ortega and manv other boys 'received from $750 to $1500 for boxing but four rounds on top of cards in San Francisco when the game, was going. Jack Doyle, the Vernon, Cal., pro moter, is paying his main event boys from- $500 to $1500 for boxing four rounds. Boys like Jimmy Dundee, Young Brown and Jimmy Duffy get that for traveling the short distance. Bert Colima, a big card in the south, won't start for less than $750 with a privilege of percentage which might net him as high as $1500 or $2000 on a big gate. - Des Moines la., which is not a big city by any means, paid Jack Britton $3500 to box Johnny Tillman a ten round no-decision "match several weeks ago. Rock Island, 111.. Terre Haute, and other middle western cities of that size are willing to guar antee Britton $3000 with a privilege of percentage. ' Promoters Get Little. There are no big profits in the box ing game from a promotion standpoint and there never has been. Tex Rlck ard. the king promoter of them all, has had to go but and dig up a couple of "angels" every time he cared to stage a world's championship fight. Oif? show will make $6000, the next one will lose $7000, and the next one make $1000. Thais the year in ana year out run of the boxing game. In some cities where one promoter through political pull gets a monopoly on the game and stages weekly cards he may make money. Instances are Jack Doyle in Vernon and Hardy Dowing in Salt Lake. Tacoma, al though a good fight town, has never been a consistent winner and George Shanklin figures himself lucky if he breaks even on the season.- Outside of Austin and Salt no promoter has ever made any money in Seattle and Austin and Salt made their money handing boxers and not by promoting shows. Many Cards Are Loners. San Francisco drew some big houses and some lost a lot of money. None of the allied promoters were ever rated as having, a "poke." Wherever there is more than one boxing club you will find that there are no profits and in many cases there are cities which boast of only one club and yet it is never a consistent money-maker, or can show any amount of profit at the end of a season. Portland boxing fans have been get ting the best boxing in the country, not barring New York or any other fistic center. Every outsJder who has ever visited Portland has declared that the bouts in Portland and. out at the Milwaukie arena are of a far better class than In other places throughout the country. There has never been a boxer thrown out of a Portland or Milwau kie ring since the ten-round game, for stalling, which is a record. Portland's boxing colony was well represented in the war and has never been mixed up in any gang activities. There has been poor refereemg at times, but that is encountered every where and the percentage of poor officiating here has been much, less Forest City Club on Record as Making $10.61 on Trip.

SALEM, Or., June 4. (Special.) Columbia university, in the second of a series of games with the Salem high school nine for the championship of the Pacific northwest, this afternoon defeated the local team by a score of 3 to 1. A long drive with two men on bases brought in the three scores for the visitors. Adolph, with a home run, made the lone score for the locals. Ashby worked on the mound for Salem, with Caughill receiving. Smith and Stockton were the battery for the university. The deciding game in the champion ship series will be played on the Port land grounds probably next Tuesday, with Salem and Columbia competing. BT TOMMY RYAN. (Tommy Ryan fought through a period of 'SI years, during which time he was ner defeated in the welterweight or middleweight classes. He held bolh cham pionships and retired undefeated. Kyan formerly taught boxing at the Multno mah Amateur Athletic club and is now living in Los Angeles. As told to Harry M. lirayson for The Orcgonlan ) LOS ANGELES, Cal., June 4 (Spe cial.) Who do I think will win the Carpentier-Dempsey fight? Well, that's a hard question. I don't know so much about Carpen tier, but from what I've seen of Dempsey I guess the Frenchman has a f'ne chance. Have been told by men whose opinions I value that Car pentier is a fine fighter with a punch and brains. That's what counts as much. as anything else brains. Any body can be a fighter, but it takes a man with something besides Just a fine body to be a real champion. Notice some of the experts are in clined to discount Carpentler's fights with Joe Beckett and other European heavyweights. Well, I don't count the Jess Willard fight when .1 figure Dempsey's ability. I think most any good middleweight could have beaten Willard that day in Toledo. He was fat acd slower than any heavyweight champion I ever saw. You cannot give a man much credit when he has to hit an opponent nine or ten times before knocking him down. That's what Dempsey did. Then, after knocking him down seven times in the first round, he failed to knock the big fellow down at all in the second and third. Can you imagine James J. Jeffries or the late Robert Fitzsimmons fall ing to finish an opponent when they had him helpless? Dempsey didn't show me any boxing skill. He looks like a tough slugger and that's all I can say for him. It took him 12 rounds to knock out Bill Brennan. Dempsey must have been away off color if he is as good as he Is supposed to be. Brennan used to fight at my club and I never considered him more than a good second-rater. Billy Miske was laid on the shelf long before he met Dempsey at Ben ton Harbor. He's another one of those fellows who come back for that last bit of money. 1 don't say that Demp sey won't stop Carpentier. Maybe he will, but the present champion fails to arouse enthusiasm in me. I think people who put Dempsey in the same class with Fitzsimmons. Corbett and Jeffries are foolish. I don't believe all this talk about Dempsey weighing more than 200 pounds. Throwing a Few Naturals. By Don Skene. BY PHILIP McCOLLUM. DEMPSEY'S CAMP. New Jersey. June 4. (Special.) The champion, after sleeping all night in a bed. got up this morning before breakfast. At a private workout he brushed his teeth, mixing a long swinging sweep with his right with short, choppy upper- cuts. The king of modern heavy weights then took a bath, using soap and water. For the morning meal the Utah gladiator ate a grapefruit, two plat ters of hard-boiled tiger meat with gunpowder gravy and six cream puffs. He expressed a desire to lie down soon after breakfast. Manager Kearna approved, announcing that his charge had gotten a sufficient work out shadowboxing with the grape fruit. In the afternoon the real training grind started, when Dempsey took on four sparring partners. After they finished the poker game the cham pion called it a day. The two big losers called it a frame-up. BY SYLVIA SAPLEY. I was awfully worried when the gruff old city editor told me yester day that I was to Interview Jackson Dempsey, the champion of the world, who is to defend his title in a match with Babe Ruth or somebody July 2. ' Imagine poor little me, I thought facing that great brute man. But Mr. Dempsey proved to be just the sweetest tiling, and the after noon passed like magic as we chatted on topics near this big bo's heart. "My hobbies are bird and flowers and flights in the rosy realms of poetry," he said, stroking the three days' Van Dyke beard, which gives him a distinguished look. Before leaving me to don his work ing clothes, which are almost as ab breviated as the ball gown of a seciety debutante. Jack handed me a copy of his own receipt for divinity fudge. "Tell the women of America," he said; "tell the women of America anything you want." And with this inspiring message of a modern Her cules and Apollo echoing in the cav erns of my mind I left him. BY CON SEETE. I am now ready, after I have vis ited in person at both heavyweight camps, to give my readers what I consider my best opinion at this time on the Dempsey-Carpentler fight. jl nave Deen particularly fortunate in getting close to the inside of the situation, although 1 have not de cmea aerinueiy as yet wno Will win the big battle. i was met at me outSKirts of Demp sey's camp by a special committee sent by Jack himself to give me a proper reception. After a short talk from this delegation of sparring part ners, in which the chairman ex pressed his opinion of me in the warmest terms. I decided to postpone my visit to the training quarters for a while. I have also visited the camp of the French invader. As I neared the quarters of Carpentier, I noticed that Francois Descamp had" thoughtfully enclosed the place with a barbed wire entanglement to keep out all other sport writers. After looking over the scene, I decided to give the rest of the members of the profession a somewhat even chance by staying out, too. BY CHARLOIS GUILLAUME McGOOK. "Get an Interview from Carpentier," says the sporting editor, figuring I'm the guy for the job, because I learned the lingo as a sergeant with the 71st in r ranee. "Oui. oui," says I, and the fight was on. When T met the frog champ I asked: "Who pensez-vous will win. the granda bataille July 2?" "Je ne comprend pas," he answered, meaning that he doesn't know. "Comment feelez-vous?" was my next question. "Je ne comprend pas," replied Georges, which means he doesn't know. ' . . "Quelle 'plan usez-vous versus Dempsey?" was my next query. "Je ne comprend pas," answered the French flash. I only hope this Interview will not change the betting odds. Tennis Clubs Amalgamate. The recent amalgamation of the Spokane, Wash., Tennis club and the Spokane Athletic club has proved a big factor in bettering tennis condi tions in that city. The tennis courts of both clubs will be kept in commis sion and it means a larger playing membership. The tennis club will now play as the Athletic club and a combined committee from both or ganizations, headed by Paul E. Weatherhead, will handle the game in the future. The Spokane Tennis club was formed in 1911 and has a well appointed clubhouse and five courts. BY MALCOLM MacLEAN. CHICAGO, June 4. (Special.) Fifty years ago this summer tne Forest City club of Rockford, 111., was one of the most famous ball teams in Amer ica. Composed of such men as Anson (later leader of the Chicagos), Bird. Ryan and others, the Forest Cities toured this country and Canada and wound up with a profit of $10.61. Per haps they were lucky to finish on the right side of the ledger. . William B. Barbour, a life-long resi dent of Rockford, acted as business manager on this Journey. Mr. Bar bour died a few months ago, and among his papers was found .the little memorandum book in which he kept account of the expenses and receipts of the remarkable jaunt. It certainly makes strange reading today to learn that the Forest City's part of the gate at Cincinnati with the Red Stockings was $18.60. ' The team evidently left Rockford with only $250 in the treasury, be cause this amount was noted as re ceived from a Mr. Waiao. The Forest City receipts of the trip follow: May "'2 At Chicago $270 Oo May 23 At Fort Wayne 83 00 May 24 At Cleveland 70.38 May 2fl At Troy 33 May 27 At Pittsfleld 31.85 May 2!l At Boston HO.6'1 May 3 A( Boston 144.

This was close enough figuring, goodness knows. The year 1871 didn't find ball play ers receiving much money for the! services. There were no holdouts the for $20,000 a year, which sum was fa in excess of what a club would take in during an entire season. They were glad to get expenses and a little loose change, playing for the joy of th game. Cap Anson, who was with this For est City team. Was just starting on the road to fame which led him to the management of the Chicago Whit Stockings. He received $26.50 spending money on the trip Just al luded to, the account book showing these sums advanced to him: Cash at Cleveland II. Cash at Troy 12. Cash at Troy 25 cents. Cash 'at Philadelphia tl. Cash 2. Cash at Washington 50 cents. Cash at Baltimore $1. Cash at Philadelphia 15 cents. There were several other advances, bringing the total up to the sum men tioned. Cap received $1 while in Cni cago. One can't help wondering what he wanted that 15 cents for In Philly. Other interesting memos in the book are: Mending Fisher's shoes 25 cents. Spikes for Addy 25 cents. Theater tickets 2. Bat for. Anson 50 cents. Blacking boots $1. Silver to the nine 115. x Shirt for Ham $1.75. . Pants for Anson $1. During the 1871. season the Forest Cities, who had no salary list, battled in something like 60 games. Among their most notable triumphs were a 1 to 12 victory over the famous Olym pics of Washington at Rockford: 5 to 5 tie with the Mutuals at Brook lyn: a 39 to 5 win over the Atlantic at Brooklyn, and a 15 to E victory over the Haymakers at Troy. Their biggest score was 78 to 0 ove the Maple City nine at Ogdensburg Forest City had other large ccrunts in its favor, beating the Kansas nine 70 to 0. Kaw Valley 67 to 11, the Maple Leaves at Hamilton, Ont., 50 to 9, and the Red Stockings Jr., of Cincinnati. 38 to 3. Outside of the 5 to 5 tie with the Mutuals, their hardest fight was when the Haymakers of Troy beat them 5 to 4 at Troy. N. Y.
