Enter another triumph for the west
over the east in the record book of
H I athletics.
gj The Multnomah Amateur Athletic
c'.ub team, composed of the greatest
stars in the northwest, scored a 59-to-52
victory over the New York Ath
letic club's representatives on Mult
nomah field yesterday afternoon be
fore several thousand dyed-in-the-wool
fans.
Until the 220-yard hurdlle race was

of an exhibition, as points In it did
not count, but this did not keep both
men from extending themselves from
the start. The Pacific coast record
for the five miles is 26:00 3-5. Payne
developed a pain in his side about the
22d lap. and but for that fact might
have shattered the record. "Mose"
took a half a lap lead after the sixth
turn around the oval and finished the
-5th and last lap about a half a length
ahead of Floeter. who stuck to his
guns the entire distance.
I Wlnged-M Men Tie for First.
Ralph Spearow, University of Ore
gon, and Eldon Jenne, Washington
State college, both competing for
Multnomah club, tied for first place
l in the pole vault with a mark of 12
ieet 4 Inches. At the completion ot
the event the bar was lofted to 13 feet
2 inches and Spearow made an effort
to break the coast record, but failed.
In his third try Spearow .cleared the
bar eas'Iy with his body, but had the
ill fortune to 6tr;ke the stick with his
arm coming down and the bar fcil to
the ground.
Pat McDonald lived up to his record
as American shot putting champion
and had little trouble winning his
team five points in that event. Mc
Donald's best mark was 47 feet lOri
inches. Gus Pope placed second with
a heave of 44 feet with "Gap" Powell
of O. A. C. a few feet behind that
for third honors.
Pope swung into his element fn
the discuss throw and hurled the
Grecian plaything 142 feet 2 inches.
This was an exceptional throw and
is not marked up in every meet. Pat
McDonald decided to enter the dis
cuss to try to win his club a few
points and took second place. It was
the big Irishman's first try at it in
more than two years.

Turk Beatn Own Mark.
Arthur Tuck, sensational Univer
sity of Oregon all-around athlete, who
has been the particularly bright light
In track and field events for the last
three years in this part of the coun
try, both as an I nterscholastic and a
colleg-iate participant, bettered his
own Pacific coast mark in the jave
lin throw of 193 feet 5 inches by hurl
ing the spear 195 feet 9 Inches yes
terday afternoon. The American rec
ord for the event is 197 feet 4 1-S
inches. One of Tucks' throws went
above the American mark, but it was
declared a foul.
Pat McDonald, veteran weight
thrower of the New York Athletic
club and present American shotput
champion, set a new coast mark in
the 56-pound weight event with a
toss of 38 feet 7 inches. The for
mer record was held by Con Walsh
of the Seattle Athletic club, who
registered it on Multnomah field in
1913.
I andon Mnken A Fret 3 Inches.
Dick Landon, Yale high jumper,
Olympic gajnes and intercollegiate
high jump champion, skimmed over
the bar at 6 feet 3 inches, setting
a new Northwest mark. Landon's
easy style in clearing the mark cre
ated a sensation. With the bar
resting around the 5 feet 8 mark,
Landon experienced trouble in get
ting Over, and knocked it off twice.
The event was started with the
stick at a higher notch than usual,
and all Landon needed was warming
up. Once the thin, youthful-looking
athlete got under way it was as easy
as falling off a log for him to make
each leap. He seemed to get over
without any visible effort, even with
the bar resting at 6 feet 3 inches.
These three were the best marks
made. Two of them, the Javelin and
the 66-pound mark, were made in
exhibition events, but they were not
the only events that kept the fans
on their toes and held the interest
of the crowd from start to finish.
The New York Athletic club led in
taking first places, wearers of the
Winged foot finishing number one
in eight events while the wearers of
the Winged M came in first in five
events. However, the second and
third place points counted in the ulti
mate results.
Fnrrell and AVells SJan,
Kddle Farrell. junior national sprint
champion, of the New York athletic
and Willard Wells, former National
hurdles champion, and captain of the
1920 Stanford university team, com
peting for Multnomah club, were the
brilliant running stars of the day.
Karrell took first places in both the
100 and the 220-yard dash while
Wells flashed across the line a win
ner in the 120-yard high hurdles and
the 220-yard low hurdles.
Farrel showed the field his heels
in the century, breaking the yarn in
ten flat, and won the 220 with feet
t spare in 21 4-5 seconds. Maifrice
Snook. O. A. C. sprinter, on whom
Multnomah club's hopes were pinned
to win in the dashes, finished sec
ond in the 100 and not at all In the
220. Later Snook stepped out in the
broad jump and won the event with
a leap of 21 feet so, in a way, meas
ured up for his loss in the two -un-ning
fixtures.
Irish Safely Ahead.
Charles Irish ran a pretty race In
the mile for New York winning in
1.31 2-5. 20 feet or more ahead of
Glenn Walkely, the Oregon coast con
ference champion. The mile had been
doped as a cinch for Walkely by the
Winged M coaches but Irish took the
lead shortly after the grind started
and finialied with a burst of speed.
Metroe Hollinger, O. A. C. quarter
miler, running for Multnomah club,
gave Howard Ray of the New York
Athletic club, a thrilling race in the
440-yard dash, which was perhaps the
best of the day. Ray got away to a
flying start and held the lead past the
turn and up the grand stand stretch.
Hollinger came up from behind with
a rush amidst a burst of cheers, but
couldn't quite make it.
Hulllnger Dora Well In Relay.
Hollinger gave another fine per
formance in the one-mile relay, which
the New York Athletic club team,
composed of Bernie Wefers Jr., A. B.
HelfricV Jack Sellers and Howard
Itay, won in 3:281-6. Hollinger ran
the last stretch for the Winged M in
stitution and cut down a lead of 60
feet to 10. When- Lee Simms. run
ning third, got the stick In Hollinger's
hand, Ray was well on his way to cer-
I tain victory. Hollinger moved like a
H'blue streak but went down to a glo-
r nn. riereat in a tnnmne: eiiort to
overcome his man, which he almost
accomplished. Every person in the
grandstand waa up and cheering for
him.
A. B. Helfrich. of the New York
Athletic club, who holds the metro-
I poiitan A. A. U. 880-yard champion-
B ship, displayed why he holds the title
in the 880 event yesterday. Helfrich
ml ran a beautiful race, with Lee Simms
lof Multnomah club running a vain
i secend.
Floyd Mose" Payne, northwest as
sociation distance champion, ran the
five-mile event against F. Floeter of
Multnomah club in the fast time of
il-.&V 1-5
ii to camp this season and Multnomah
club took one of the biggest eastern
athletic clubs down the line yester
da y.
The meet was run off better than
any other ever staged here, due to
the management of Dick Grant. The
affair was pronounced the best eve
witnessed here, not only because of
the way it was handled but because
of the class of the competition.
Points were not counted In the
five-mile run, the B-pound weight
event or the javelin throw. These
three were billed as special events,
One thing not to be overlooked was
the work of Millard Webster In the
high jump. The winged-M entry had
a world. s champion to beat and
reached 6 feet 1 before he was force.;
to retire with second honors. Webste
is a consistent 6-foot-l man.

MANHASSUT, June 25. ( Special.)
If anyone is worrying over the

Georges Carpentier. I spent this aft
ernoon with Georges at his training
quarters, coming a little late because
I didn't want to horn in on his secret

with Dempsey at Toledo, when the
referee sent him from the ring at tin
end of the first round and called him
back to fight again.
"As we fought on I missed a swing
at Smith and slipped on my knees. He
rushed over me. I looked up and
saw him draw back his right hand
and look down on me and hesitate,
and then strike."
Foul Illovr Aliened.
"I ducked my head. He hit me on
the back of the neck so hard that my
face was driven against the floor. As
I was on my hands and knees it was
a plain foul, but 1 did not wish to win
that way."
It is not true that I try to claim
fouls for Georges.' out in "Pesianips.
"but that was a very bud foul."
"Didn't you Jump into the ring in
me Klaus fight?"
"Yes," alj Ivscamps. "That was
my mistake. Georges was fighting
him very hard and was unhurt. One
of Frank's blows had cut his lips in
side and he held the blood to prevent
showing It. Klaus hit him In tho
stomach and the blood spurted from
his mouth. Not knowing his lips
were cut I thought the blow In th"
stomach had broken something anil I
Jumped In to save him from serious
Injury. That was my fault entirely.
I would never make, that mii-take
again.
Good Dinner l;aten.
Carpentier ate a large dinner, nnd
epjoynl it. He had tho appetite of
a football player. All through din
ner the training enw joked and
laughed. I will say George has a
fine staff of entertainers.
"1 sc you said In the paper 1 lose
weight because of the heat," he said
as we lift the table. "A pound or
two. perhaps, hut It goes right on
aaln. Today 1 am exactly ITS'
pounds. That will be my weight for

taid Carpentier. "Me, 1 can only sit
l:ere and look at the automobiles.
How do we know that you brlrtve as
my secretary should behave, so mod
estly, so discreetly? Voils., 1 think
;,erhaps I should not let you gt. You
thouhl tell me where you go. !. it to
t'ine with some fair one, perhaps? 1
am not sure that 1 should allow It,
Yes-o."
Secretary llrata llelrent.
The secrotary blushed to the color
cf an Arizona sunburn and wrggled
uneasily, so that he nearly fill olf
ihe porch rail with embarrassment.
f:arpentier winked at Captain Mallet
"Yes." said the captain, sev'ously,
'i think (Jus Wilson will have to go
with you to see that you conduct
vourself with credit. You are. very
young to visit New York alone."
Here the youthful secretary fill
off the railing, landed In a flower
bed and beat it hot foot for the gate.
Carpentier leaned back and laughed
until he nearly rolled over on the
porch. And there was no fake mer
riment about It, either.
Captain Mallet turned the guns on
Georges.
You should have your hair cut."
he said. "You will never frighten
Dempsey with such handsome long
locks. You must have your hair
clipped short. You are far too pretty
for a fighter."
I can see the advantage of that
when I look at you, retorted
Georges.
Captain Mallets hair on top ts
A. W. O. L., to use a military term.
Yes," said Mallet, "but you on!v
have been wounded in the legs.
Georges. You have not been shot
through the head."
'Guess you saw some lighting. I
suggested.
Yes." admitted Captain Mallet, "1
had three years of it."
Tilting forward, he showed a deep
dent squarely on top of his head.
1 was very lucky when I got this.
he went on. "I was lying on the field.
Another soldier was lying on his
stomach Just ahead of me. A bullet
struck him on the head and passed
clear through head and body, killing
him. of course. It went through my
knapsack and Into my head. If t'
had struck me first I would not be
here to see Georges light.. Such luck.
We are all veterans.
ut Charlie Ledoux there saw
more fighting than any of us. I think.
He served through the whole war;
nlv awav from the front three times,
v hen he was in the hospital, wounden.
They would gladly have taken Charles
from the front to use him In a sare
position, but he. wished to be in the
filming.
Fighter Ileturna Often.
He was crushed under sandbags
when a German shell exploded just
over his head, and ne was oaaiy
gashed by the time shell. But always
he went back to the front. He is a
'renchman, Ledoux. He is a very
good boxer, too, and is In training to
fight any of the American bantamweights.
Another boxer. Eugene Criqul, who
fought all through the war, is now
boxing in Australia. His jaw was
shot away and he has a silver plate
for a chin, but he fights as well as
ever. His Jaw with a sliver plate is
strong. A punch doesn't hurt him. I
have been suggesting a silver plate as
a good idea for Georges, If Dempsey
hits him."
Carpentier chuckled at that.
"No, it Is better to suggest that to
Dempsey," he laughed.
Funny thing. This Is one fighter
who doesn't in the least mind being
kidded about Dempsey's wallop. I
have been in camps of fighters who
grew sulky and nervous whenever a
word was said about a coming battle.
I remember Billy Delaney'a coming to
me at Carson a few days before Cor
bett fought Fltzslmmons and saying:
"Now be very careful not to say
anything about Fitzsimmons' punches
The big fellow Is on edge and likely
to go up in the air. Talk about any
thing else, but nothing about the
fight."
But at Carpentier's we talked of
everything, even dissected Carpen-tit-r's
fighting record.
Declaion Fairly Won. He Soya.
"American papers about my fight
with Gunboat Smith are wrong." said
Carpentier. "Why do they get It al',
wrong? He actually struck me a
heavy foul blow, but I did not wish
to win on a foul. I knocked him out
fairly in the fourth round. I hit him
with a right on the chin and he wan
completely out. The referee counted
up to ten without looking at the
timekeeper, actually using 14 seconds
for the count.
"At the end of ten seconds' the time
keeper shouted 'out-out-ouf-out' to
the referee, and in his excitement
struck the gong several times.
"The round was not up. but Gun
boat's seconds jumped Into the ring
and claimed that the bell for the end
of the round had saved Smith, and
dragged him to his corner.
I ble as a monkey. As the Jitney suited
uown the road I could hear Carpen
tier laughing at him.
