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.

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

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.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY. Cal.,
July 16. 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

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."

SEATTLE TEAM IN PORTLAND
FOR CHAMPIONSHIP GAME.
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

BOSTON, July 16. Arthur A.Irwin,
long . associated with professional
baseball as player, manager, coach

the inventor of the modern catcher's
glove, was regarded today as a

will be held at the Germantown
Cricket club in September. Indica
tions are that William T. Tilden. the
title holder, will meet as strong, if
not stronger competition in defend-
ng his title than tie did at the tour

where he retained his title of world's
champion.
Virtually every country that recog
nizes lawn tennis as a major sport
will be represented at the tournament,
and complete teams will be there
from England. France, Japan, Aus

Germantown club announced.
It is fairly certain, they added, that

Samuel C. Collom, chairman of the
tennis committee of the Germantown
Cricket club, says it probably would
be necessary to limit the tournament
to 128 entries in order to complete
the play in seven days. This, he de
clared, would mean a tournament in
which only champions would be qual
ified to compete, and that many
players who in past years were able
to enter would be denied the priv

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
