Things will be quiet, fistically speaking', for a week or so at least, for Portland boxing fans. The Port land boxing commission has closed its books for the reason, according to the dope, and the Mllwaukio arena Is not likely to stage another card until July 29. although there is a possibility of a card being held there next Friday night if any suitable main event can be obtained. However, the boxers here will keep fairly busy despite the local layoff. Clyde Branum, who looks after the business dealings for Dave Shade, has lined up his stellar battler for three or four fights within the next two months, the most important of these being a 15-round battle with Pinkey Mitchell, Labor day. at the Alan race track, a few miles from Spokane, across the Washington state, line in Idaho. If Shade could beat Mitchell it would give him almost as much pres tige in the east as beating Jack Brit ton. Pinkey is a bigger boy than his brother, Ritchie, but can get down to 138 pounds in a pinch. Pinkey Mitchell and Lew Tendler are con sidered as the only two worthy op ponents left for Benny Leonard, light weight champion of the world. Pinkey is not only being touted as able to take Leonard's measure, but also that of Jack Britton, welterweight cham pion of the world, as well. Mitchell and Britton fought a fast ten-round fight about a year ago with Pinkey having the edge of the going. He has not been able to get Britton in the ring since that time. The Shade J Mitchell fight will be staged in the pame arena as the Mike Gibbons-Al Summers scrap, July 4. Then Branum has a fight coming up for Dave in Helena. Mont.. September 9 against some good welterweight and also a fight with Frankie Murphy, August 19, at Marshfield, Or., during the state convention of Elks. Other northwestern fistic centers as well as eastern promoters are after Shade's services. Jimmy Darcy. Portland light-heavyweight, is making 158 pounds for Bat tling Ortega in Seattle Thursday night. It has been some time since Ortega and Darcy have tangled. The honors have ended slightly in Ortega's favor. Clair Bromeo boxes Frankie Rogers in Seattle in the semi-windup to the Darcy-Ortega scrap. Rogers has been going strong north since the come back .of the boxing game and is well thought of by Seattle fans. If Bromeo gets over Rogers he will be in line for a mat h with Travie Davis in Seattle. At the present time Davis is in Los Angeles and received some unexpected opposition from Sammy Felsinger in a four-round bout last week. Evi dently Davis had Pelsinger rated as a eap. Instead Sammy had Travie cov ering up the last round. Whoever handles Duffy Knorr. the young Bend boxer, made a" big mis take by sending the boy in against Kddie Gorman in his first start here. Knorr would have knocked anyone rise out. but Gorman was too tough and experienced altogether for a man of Knorr's caliber. As the result Knorr took a beating, whereas he might easily have broken in here with a knockout. Rushing a boxer along too fast has ruined more good fighters than any one other thing. Eddie Richards, another beginner, who made his debut at the Milwaukie arena the other night, should develop into a crackerjack boy if taken along at the right pace and handled care fully. He packs a wicked wallop, Hteps around fairly fast, and can take the blows. If Battling Ortega will get down to the welterweight limit of 148 pounds Dave Shade may battle him at Helena, Mont., in September. Billy Shade will arrive at Van couver. B. C. July 20 from Australia, according to word received by. his father yesterday, who is now residing in PnrtlHnd. Shad Vina rmt a-ynvt-n Vi a middleweight class and is said to be a full-fledged 17 5-pounder. Upon his firrival in this country Billy will go after matches with Georges Carpen tier. Tommy Gibbons and Harry Greb. Australian promoters cabled an offer of $75,000 for Carpentier to meet Shad in Sydney, but couldn't land the Frenchman.

T i MARTIN SHATTERS HOPES OF MORAN TO FIGHT DEMPSEY Bronson Getting Doughboy in Shape to Meet Champion in Two or Three Years, But Is in No Hurry. WHATEVER aspir Moran ever had climbing into thi HATEVER aspirations Frank for once more g into the heavyweight lists for a chance at the crown held by Jack Dempsey have been finally obliterated by h's knockout" by the A. E. F. heavyweight champion. Bob Martin. Incidentally. Martin has en trenched himself stronger than ever a3 a good prospect for a battle in the future with the present champion. Seven rounds were required for Martin to send Moran to the canvas for the count, but the soldier boxer won in a style that impressed the eastern experts who saw the bout. The big soldier boy pun'shed Moran unmercifully and a broken small bone In his hand sustained in the second ronnd prevented an earlier knocKOut. Since his- victories in 1919 in the A. E. J?, championships overseas Martin has been coming along grad ually under the management of J'm mie Bronson. The way Bronson has handled the soldier champion has been freely and favorably commented on -in all quarters. Bronson has picked out opponents for Martin with a view of giving him experience, and those he fought, such as Homer Smith, Martin Burke. Bob Roper, Ray Smith and Dick O'Brien, were men more or less of the same ability and experience as' Martin himself. Bob Martin has not been rushed along into contests with men prominent or in line for bouts for the heavy titlej and the experience gained in these contests has been the means of bring ing Martin up to a stage where it will not be long before the soldier boxer BIG SWIM EVENT NEAR ANNUAL A. A. V. CHAMPION SHIP TO BE. HELD JULY 2 3. Races to Take Place in Delaware Klrer Under Auspices .of Riverton Yacht Club. On Saturday. July 23, the 13th an nual Amateur Athletic union long dis tance swimming championship will be held by the Riverton Yacht club at Philadelphia. The distance is to be in the neighborhood of ten miles. The history of the introduction of the long distance championship into the Amateur Athletic union pro gramme is interesting. From 1877 to 1909 the one-mile national cham pionship was the longest race on the Amateur Athletic union programme. In 1907 the swimmers of St. Louis staged what they called the "Missis sippi river marathon." The affair was a big success and was won by J. H. Handy, in those days one of the best long distance men in the country. The next year the St. Louis swim mers repeated the event and again Handy won. These two races showed that there was a demand for such an event by swimmers, and aside from that the event was so unique that nation-wide Interest was taken in the result. The need had long been felt that there were many swimmers who could not compete with sprinters or even one mile men who nevertheless wanted some sort of competition. The St. Loui3 people solved the proposition and in 1909 they applied to the Ama teur Athletic union officially to schedule a long distance title race. This was done and it was stipulated that the race should not be longer than ten miles and a time limit of IV, hours set. This time naturally took into account the strong tidal conditions which of necessity help a swimmer. Ever since 1909 the race has been an annual affair. In the 12 previous years it has been held seven times at St. Louis, Philadelphia three times and San Francisco and Detroit each once. The race in San Francisco was held In 1915. the swim being into the bay and back from the exposition yacht Harbors a total distance of 314 miles with no tide to assist the men; rather they had to battle across the current. All other races have been aDDroximately ten miles. Mike Me- Dermott of the Illinois Athletic club has won the event four different times, while the gray-haired veteran. Bud Goodwin, of the New Your Ath letic club has three victories to his credit. The present champion is Kugene T. Bolden of the Illinois Ath letic club and he has won the event both in 1919 and 1920 over the Eame course as the race will be swum again t.his month in the Delaware river. Both St. Louis and now Philadelphia have given a $1000 silver cup for 'this contest. McDermott won the St. Louis cup with three victories, and now Bolden has two legs on the Phlla- dtlphia trophy. If he wins this month I will be considered in line for a fight with Dempsey. The hardest opponents MaTtin has so far met are Tom McMahon and the former English near champion. Bandsman Rice. McMahon took the count after five rounds and the Eng lishman hit the canvas in two rounds. Frank Moran is the ' first man of known ability tliat Martin has knocked out, and, while it is not as sumed that Moran is good as he used to be, yet his record is one that stands out prominently with the heavies of the country. Moran in his day has had fights with Jess Willard, Carl Morris, Gunboat Smith, Jack Dillon, Bombardier Wells and .others. When Bronson first assumed the management of Martin he definitely stated that he would not go after the world title. 'He did say, however, that both Martin and himself had future ambitions for that crown and that when the time came they would challenge for it. When the pair re turned from overseas Bronson an nounced that he would not be ready to send Martin after the world title for at least two years and probably three years. It will be just two years next month since Martin arid Bronson returned to this country from over seas. Bronson is a clever and shrewd manager, and if he does not believe Martin is ready for such a match all the clamor and outcry for such a match will not disturb the little manager. "There is plenty of time for a crack at Dempsey," said Bronson on his return to this country. All the eastern boxing experts have lined up with Martin as the only boxer in sight now who has the possibilities of a world champion. the trophy is record of the lows: his for keeps.

Workmen are wrecking the bleachers of Stanford field, where many of Stanford university's big intercollegiate football games have been piayed since 1905. and are using the lumber in construction of the new Stanford stadium, helng built not far from the old field. Steam shovels, scrapers, horses and wagons are rapidly digging down to the level of the stadium's playing field and piling the earth on the sides for the . seats. Recently the excavation was being made at the rate of 24)00 cubic yards a day. Sev eral Stanford students are spending their summer vacation working for the stadium contractors. The new stadium will be dedicated with the annual football "big game" between Stanford and the University of California here November 19. 1921.

July 16. (Special.) ooo iiartin or the American expedi tionary forces against Georges Car pentier next falL then Tommy Gib bons of St. Paul aerainst the winner. That is the way the dope runs on the ugni-neavyweight situation - today i asie ine j.ip in your hat and see how near it comes to working out. Tex Rickard, who is going to stage the battles, is a sportsman, but he is also a showman. He has the hippo drome instinct, the knack of doing that thing which will most surely please. The three-cornered arrangement among Carpentier. Gibbous and Mar tin is as clever as could be devised. It gives the fans two big scraps, both of them calculated to draw enthusi asts from all over the country. - Martin Has Broken Hand. One can easily see just what pull ing power a bout between the French war hero and Bob Martin, "repre sentative of 4,000,000 men." would possess, while a final battle between Gibbons and Martin or Gibbons and Carpentier would be equally interest ing. Just now Martin is in the same position that Georges is in; he has a broken hand and some six weeks will be required for him to get into shape. Fight experts have advised Tex Rickard that a fight between Martin and Carpentier should have the' first call because it would be likely to make a better battle. Martin and Car pentier are battlers from the word go, so there is action every minute they are in the ring, whereas Gibbons is more careful and wins his bouts with a single punch at the proper time. But while on this subject it should be noted that Martin has been fighting more heavyweights than Gibbons has met and thus would seem to have the call on the St. Paul flash. There is no doubt that Martin Is coming along. He has a lot yet to learn and were he to step .into the ring with Carpentier tomorrow the Frenchman would beat him on the basis of knowing- more than the American, if for no other reason. Lots of critics won't agree on this statement. If they did, the writer would be pretty sure he was wrong. Mnrtin'a Left Weak. In the first place. Bob has not got a left-hand Jab yet. That is, he jabs, but he doesn't snap it in and get body power behind it. But he does swing with his left, and the other night when he fought Moran he showed that he had developed a real left hook. He may have been keep ing it under cover in the early rounds, his Idea being not to let the public know just what he had. But as it turned out, he busted a right knuckle and had to depend upon his fork side mauler. The fact that he used It to suffi cient advantage to stow away Frank Moran, always a tough bird when it came to taking it, should be regarded as a convincing demonstration that there is some kick in Bob's port sider. Since there is no doubt about his right, he must be listed from now on as a two-handed hitter. Freddie Welsh, at whose farm in Summit, N. J., Martin trained, is entitled to a lot of credit for the soldier's- Improve ment. Fighter on Hla 'Way Vp. There will be further improvement. This pleasant-featured, black-haired .boy he reminds you of a college man is on his way up. He weighs now about 182 pounds, but has big bones and will put a lot of hard flesh upon his frame. He is not after Dempsey just yet. being content to bide his time. But he is eager to go with Carpentier and Carpentier doesn't care who he meets. Why would he. after Dempsey? By the way. Carpentier's wrist when he sailed the other day was still a little swollen and the thumb is not yet restored to normal size. Descamps. the manager, isn't quite sure when the member will be cured which is the reason the exact time of Carpentier's next fight was left blank when the Frenchman agreed to battle "some time next fall." LUCE BITES WINS CANADIAN MEN'S SINGLES TEN NIS TITLE TAKEN. Californian Defeats E. Ii. Iievy, Teammate Bates' Coolness and Accuracy Decisive. TORONTO. Ont., July 16. Wallace Bates of California won the Canadian men's open singles championship to day by defeating E. L. Levy, his team mate. 4-6, 6-4, 6-2. 6-3. Bates' coolness, 'combined with his deadly accuracy on cross-court drives and his aggressive attack at the net, proved the deciding factor of the match. levy weakened under the strain of the terrific play. Levy took the first set. which was featured by hi brilliant net play, but in the second, with, the score three all. the break came in. Levy lost his service on faults and Bates, taking advantage of his opponent's weak ness, ran out the set, 6-4. Although Levy came back strong at intervals in the next two sets, Balf s maintained the upper hand. W.

Washington Mutual Nine Comes to Battle With Northwestern National fcrr Honors. The Northwestern National bank baseball' team, champion of the Port land Bankers' league, will meet the Washington Mutual Savings Bank team, champions of the Seattle Bank ers' league, at 10 A.' M. today on the Vaughnf-street grounds, for the bank ers' championship of the northwest. The Seattle hoys arrived last night and are primed for the battle. There are 11 players in the party. These same teams met in a cham pionship affair in Seattle last year and the sound city boys nosed out the Portland team by a 7-6 score. The winning run was scored in the last half of the ninth inning and it was a fast and furious battle from start to finish. This year the game promises to be even more closely contested. The Portland team, playing on its home grounds, hopes to even up matters by reversing the score on heir Seattle friends. Seattle has a "Babe Ruth" on its team Eubanks, by name who has done some timely hitting for the last two seasons. In the 1920 season he clouted out eight home runs on the coast league grounds in Seattle and this year has. circled the bases four tiinea. Eubanks plays third base and pitches. A fact worthy of mention concern ing the; bankers' league is that all players on the bank teams are regu lar employes of their respective banks and have played the full season. The Northwestern National bank team has won the local championship three successive years with practically no chamtres in the lineun. The Washi: ton j.lutual team has won the cham pionship of the Seattle league for last two seasons. Following the game the Seattle boys will be entertained by the North weMern National bank team. After a luncheon at the Imperial hotel an r.a tonioijile trip over the Columbia river highway is planned. The trip will extend as far as Kagle creek and on the ieturn the tennis will stop over for a dinner at Crown Point chalet at 7 r. M. The visiting team will re turn to Seattle on the IIP. M. trai-i.

CLEVELAND NOT WORRYING Indians Haven't Much oT a Lead, but Are Confident. CLEVELAND. July 16. With the season nearing the half-way mark, the lead of the Cleveland Indians has been cut down until they are just hanging on to first place by the skin of their teeth, but there are no great signs of uneasiness in the camp of the tribe. The pitching is weather ing the storm of hard hitting that has been raging, but which is now subsiding a bit, and should show better from now on. An-d, while the hitting is subsiding with most other teams, consider the fact that the Indians are showing no disposition to let up in their pitcher murdering. Late averages show 13 Indians hit ting for better than .300, and three of that number averaging above .400. This efficient hitting has kept the Indians in front. It has, in fact, been their salvation when their pitchers occasionally falter, for no - matter what the hitting power of their rivals, the Indians usually have been able to show a trick of co-ordinatiom that wins. Another nice feature is that with 13 of the Indians liammering in the 1 charmed class, an individual's slump Built to Sustain a Reputation Sold to Meet Competition F. B.
