BY DICK SHARP.
.Denver Ed Martin stands on the
threshold of a fortune that was de
nied him in hfs prime 21 years ago.
Or, on the threshold of a 20-story
drop. The greatest negro heavy
weight in the world In 1S00, Martin
found It impossible to obtain matches
with the great white heavyweights
of that day.
Champions have come and 'Cham
pions have gone. Yet old Denver Ed
Is still a formidable battler, perhaps
among the five best In the heavy
weight division today.
Jim Jeffries. Jim Corbett, Jack
Munro and other Juggernauts of
fistic history declined point blank to
battle him. Martin was offered more
than $100,000 in purses for snatches
with these men, but because they
would not meet him had to barnstorm
It around the country. Martin's only
way of earning a decent purse was
by betting on his fights with other
top-notch negro boxers.
(jus ituhlin and Denver Ed were In
the same stable. Ituhlin got the
fights with Jeffries and the rest when
they refused to meet Martin. And
Denver could lick ejus every day in
the week without half trying.
Times have changed. Where Mar
tin got dollars fur a fight 20 years
ago he can now get thousands. But
to break Into this money he first must
hurdle the form of Harry Wills, the
present-day champion of the negro
race. Can he do it. or will he fall?
A victory for Martin over Wills
would. mean a cool $100,000. Martin
could Bet nlmost that much for a
return match with Wills in the east
If he wins this one. The battle could
be staged In New Jersey, a stone's
throw from New York, or even in
New York Itself. Wills Is a great
card all through the east. Then
there are many other attractive
matches that could be made for the
conqueror of Wills. But he must be
conquered first, and that's a tough
Job for a man 43 years old.
Martin has a fighting chance to
, score a victory. Wills is not invinc
ible. He has been beaten and knows
what it is to be crashed to the can
vas by a punch on the chin. Not
lately, hut within the past Ave years.
Wills also Is at the age where he is
through Improving. Martin has had
plenty of hard luck In his life and
figures that dame fortune is about
due to smile on him.
To date Dave Shade remains the
only undefeated member of the family
of fighting Shades, who Invaded New
York several months ago. Dave has
earned decisions over Ueorgie Ward.
George Lavigne, Jimmy Kelley and
Joe Jackson. He beat Ward In New
York. Lavlgne and Kelley in Brook
lyn, and Jackson In Philadelphia.
Billy Shade got off to a good start
by trimming Fay Keiser. but dropped
the newspaper verdict, if that counts
for anything, to Harry Greb in Pitts
burg Friday night. According to re
ports. Shade was not subjected to any
terrible beating, but was outpointed
In most of the rounds.
George Shade, the third member of
the family, lost to Bert Colima at the
garden lust week. Colima hails from
Los Angeles. The latter was knocked
out In his first tight in Neiy York, but
since that time has been winning
with regularity.
When one stops to consider the
class displayed by Harry Greb against
such men as Charley Wienort and
Billy Shade, and then his showings
with Jimmy Darcy. the conclusion is
that Darcy Is a greatly underrated
boy out here.
Darcy has had two 15-round fights
with Greb, one In Boston and the
other at Buffalo. In both fights Darcy
gave out as much punishment as he
took. In the Buffalo bout Jimmy
knocked down Greb for a count In
the third round and had Greb in a
bad way in the seventh. And Darcy
does not hold such a weight advan
tage over Greb as did Wlenert and
Shade.
It Is fortunate for the present crop
of bantamweights that such battlers
as Jimmy Barry and Kid Williams are
not In their prime. Williams, the
Baltimore Tiger, If he could enter the
ring today in the form he displayed
the three years following 1910, would
clean up the bantam boxers in short
order. Williams, when at his best,
disposed of Charles Ledoux. the
French champion, who was here on
his first visit, knocking him out in
the 15th round. Ledoux at that time
was In the best condition of his life
and was a whirlwind fighter.
Williams next defeated Eddie
Campl. one of the cleverest bantams
ever developed. After these achieve
ments Williams finally forced Johnny
Coulon into a match. He knocked
Coulon all over the ring the first two
rounds .and knocked him out In the
third.
Williams at his best closely ap
proached the former Terry McGovern
In his bantam days.
A. F. Bettlnson. manager of the
National Sporting club of London,
writes to the United States that the
board of boxing control of England
Is seeking from the British govern
ment an act to legalize boxing
throughout Great Britain. In the pro-!
posea act is a stipulation whereby
boxers would be restricted to 50 per
cent of the gross receipts of any
entertainment In which they might
compete.
In a letter to some friends here
Joe Benjamin tells on Alex Trambitas.
the local welterweight, who was in
New York recently. Alex, while box
ing around New York decided to save
some money. At Grupp's gymnasium
he was laying out eight perfectly
good iron men each month for the
use of the training Quarters and be
was paying almost that much each
fry for a room.
Why not combine sleeping and
working all In one domicile, thought
Alex, and forthwith he proceeded to
do so. He moved his training para
phernalia to his room and began to
work out there.
Then he happened to think that no
one would call time for him and that
if he boxed too long he would take
a chance on going stale.
But any man who is genius enough
to think of training in his own
sleeping quarters can find a way out
of a simple problem like that. Alex
did It.
He walked to the telephone and
asked the girl at the switchboard to
call him every three minutes for the
next half hour.
ANOTHER BIG BOUT BREWS
DEMPSEY-CAKPENTIER MATCH
l'OU EUROPE CONSIDERED.
Fight Fans Across Water Do Not
Believe Frenchman Defeated
and Want to lie Shown.
BY SPARROW McGANN.
(CopyTlxht. 19i'l. hr The OieKoi.ian.i
NEW YORK, Nov. 12. (Special.)
What do you think they have be fen
planning in the way of another bat
tle of the century? Nothing less than
another fight between Jack Dempsey
and Georges Carpentier, in Paris.
Don't laugh, it's the straight goods.
This is not to say that such a fight
will be held. It is to say that the
Dempsey crowd has been flirting:
with the Idea and the wily Descamps
has not been an uninterested party.
It is almost a cinch that the affair
will come off if the public doesn't
light up over a Dempsey -Will a rd
scrap.
It is a great problem to make big
money for a heavyweight champion
who is so good that the public won't
take seriously a fight between him
and almost any opponent who could
be named. It causes a manager to
undergo a lot of hard thinking and
a lot of ragging. In a recent popu
lar magazine a well-known wrtler
wrote a story culled "The Battle tf
the Century." Tnis story, in wnicn
such characters as Dempsey, Jack
Kearns, Rickard, Carpentier and oth
ers appeared under names thinly dis
guised, gave under the guise of Ac
tion a detailed narrative of just how
the Dempsey-Carpentier battle was
arranged and put on.
That story was absolutely a true
story and the truth of it has been
confirmed by both Kearns and Rick
ard. Now the great problem has been to
riff up another fight which would pull
a mammoth gate. No fighters are
b&rred as opponents for Dempsey,
who can give evidence of ability to
get the public "bet up" over a matcn.
Race, creed or color are all the same
to the champion and his manager.
Anyone who can bring him 200.000
flsb for his end will be welcome. !
The Harry Wills proposal is regard-f
ed by Kearns as the bunk. Wills
doesn't like to be hit, and close fol
l:w;rs of boxing know it. Dempsey
isn't any more afraid of Wills than
is of Fulton or VViUarJ. In fact.
he begged Wills to ait in trs a spar
ring partner when he w;.s training
both for Willard an 1 Carpentier. Ii
tre public really vants a Dempsey
Wills fight and will support it there
'11 be no trouble about a match, but
Ktarns thinks it would be b waste cf
time to fool with the idea. Kearns is
also leary about Willard. So is
Rickard. That is the reason for the
present agitation in favor of Willard
meeting Fulton or Brennan before
tackling Dempsey.
If Jess should dispose of either of
these two men. then a Dempsey-WIl-lard
battle would look good on the
money end but as the situation sixes
up just now it seems that only the
died-ln-the-wool fight fans would
support the bout That large element
who rarely go to fights, but will turn
out for a top-line battle, would not
be attracted to a show involving the
champion and an old and fat and
presumably busted-up ex-champion.
That brings us to Carpentier
Dempsey and Carpentier in Paris. But
some will say Dempsey licked Carpen
tier good. He outclassed the French-
STANFORD-CALIFORNIA GAME
LIKELY TO DRAW BIGJRO WD
New Cardinal Stadium Expected to Be Filled With 65,000 Persons.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 12. (Spe

memory a fillip, is the day of the
"big game," when University of Cali

there will be a big east vs. west game
on New Year's day. but that can hard

Personally I cannot see a Stanford
victorv in sight. Still, the boys at
the farm do a lot better than
many folks imagine.
The Bruins have done everything
that has been asked of them so far,
and much of that with a crippled
squad. Stanford made a surprisingly
good stand with the Oregon Aggies,
but could do no better than a score
less tie against the University of
Washington.
On top of that California belted the
University of Southern California to
a fare-you-well, even though the
southern boys did score one touch

But the Stanford rooters refuse to

They'll be there In large and glad

DODGERS SIGN SEATTLE BOY
Charley Hackett, Port Heaver, to
Report Next Spring.
SEATTLE, Wash.. Nov. 12. f Spe

and will wear a big league uniform
next season.
Charley Hackett. pitcher for Broad

of last season. Hackett Is more than

He will report in the spring at the

Eddie Eagan, formerly captain of

pens next Saturday.
California, with a win ever Stan
ford, will naturaliy have the oppor
tunity of representing the west in the
bg Pasadena match. But I'm not so
sure that California wants anything
of the fort. After the game last year
the graduate manager of California
took stock. He discovered that, out
side of the expenses allowed by the
Pasadena committee. It cost some
thing like 2500 for California to
make the trip.
The Pasadena folks, of course, made
a!l the money.
So it wouldn't surprise me In the
least if California would come to
some working agreement with Stan
ford for use of the new stadium on
New Year's day and arrange a game
ail of Its own.
That might leave the Pasadena
committee in the lurch, although they
could fall back on University of
Southern California if they so desire.
It may be of some Interest to Port
land people to know the Melbourne
cup, run on November 1, was won by
Sister Olive, an outsider, at the tempt

chestnut filly, three years old and is
owned by F. A. Newman. The Vic
toria Derby cup was won by Furious,
the odds being 2 to 1.
This information came to Chief En
gineer Brown of the Ventura In a
cablegram that he received only this
week. There are thousands of people
in this country who watch for the
outcome of the Melbourne cup.
Gene Mellady, Omaha wrestling pro

will also bring with him Pat McGlll.

statements, says that McGill Is a most
promising boy and one with a future.
There Is Ad Santel hereabouts who
would make a good card with McGill.
and Mellady may be able to arrange
something of the sort.

TURFMEN HUNT TROTTERS
GRAND CIRCUITERS GUM-SHOE
FOR PROMISING HORSES.
Thomas AV. Murphy, Leader of
Pack, Has Feelers Out for Strong
Stable for Next Season.
NEW YORK, Nov. 12, Having fin
ished their hunt for puree and stake
money, and with Thomas W. Murphy,
of Poughkeepsie. again leading the
pack, grand circuiters now are gum
shoeing around the country picking
up talent tor another season. This
annual process of grabbing off the
most desirable trotters has been un
der way since Murphy started at the
Poughkeepsie meeting, when he paid
$12,000 for the 3-year-old gelding
Czar Worthy, which looks like the
best thing in sight for the 2:12 trots
next year.
At Lexington a couple of weeks ago
Murphy paid $25,000 for Princess
Etawah, and this pair put him in the
limelight as far as the regular $5000
and $10,000 stakes down the big line
are concerned.
Czar Worthy was educated on the
Detroit track, and his Introduction
in the east came during the meetings
In the metropolitan circuit. He wai
nosed out in his first start, and then
began to win, making a half-mile
track record of 2:1114, which Is a
banner performance for a 3-year-old.
Then he took a trip to Pough
keepsie, where Murphy drove him to a
breeder's record of 2:07, and the man
ner In which the youngster performed
started a procession of trainers and
others for the owner, but Murphy an
nounced that he would take him be
fore he took off his goggles.
It was understood that Murphy was
to try for the 3-year-old champion
ship at Lexington with this colt, but
he did not do so because, he explained,
he wanted him for the stakes, and if
the colt trotted where he could go he
might 'be barred. It Is thought that
he could have done a mile at 2:02
with everything In his favor.
This colt has speed, manners and
fashionable blood lines the Peter the
Great tribe on his sire's side and the
Axworthy family on the dam's so
there Is nothing lacking. He threat
ens the 4-year-old trotting record.
Princess ,Etawah won laurels e-s a
2-year-old when she appropriated
first money In two of the big futuri
ties. She did not show form as a
three or 4-year-old, but came out
this year and Joined the fast herd.
While she raced through the season
she did not win a first, although she
did take heats from Jeanette Rankin
and was second to Gray Worthy when
he trotted in 2:02 at Syracuse.
With these two out of her way
owing to their winning records, there
Is nothing in sight that looks to have
as good a chance in the stakes as
this mare. She is eligible to the 2:14
trots, but, owing to her experience,
it is likely that Murphy will name her
in the fast classes and keep Czar
Worthy for the 2:12 trots, in which
he can start.
DOG DERBY TOPIC REVIVES
Although Months Away, Record
List of Entries Is Expected.
THE PAS, Man., Nov. 12. Cold

have been received from many would

but many more contestants may yet
be heard from.
Many of this year's drivers. Includ
ing Goyne, Dupas, Billy Winterton,
Morgan, Bancroft, Larry McKay. Sam
Pranteau and Jack Hayes, have been
entered. A new entrant will be Billy

BY SAM WILDERMAN.
Washington High school's 5S to 0
victory over James John Thursday
gave the Colonials the undisputed
championship of the Portland Public
School league. Every team in the
league was defeated by the cham
pions. Franklin being "the only one
to score on Washington.
For the first time in years there la
no doubt as to which team is the
best.. Washington is not only the
champion, but has also the best team
In the league. Fenstermacher's line
is the most powerful, while his back
field, for all-around playing, has no
equal.
Although the Benson backs ran the
Washingtonians a close second, and
sometimes seemed to be a bit more
powerful on the offense, Benson
twice failed in its supreme test, while
Washington backfield swept every
thing before It.
The Everett-Washington game,
Thanksgiving day at Everett, Wash.,
will decide the northwest interscho
lastic championship. Everett has de
feated every strong team in Wash
ington, while Columbia, which Ever
ett defeated here, had eliminated
every high school contender in Ore
gon except Washington high, which
team it did not play. So a victory for
either Washington or Everett will
settle all questions.
Washington ran up the largest
score of the season against James
John Thursday, 56 to 0. In this game
a season's record was mado when
Iverson of Washington made a 95
yard run for a touchdown, the longest
run of the year. Brooks. Washington
end, also made an interscholastic rec
ord when he converted eight goals
after touchdown without a miss. The
James John game wound up Wash
ington's league schedule.
The Franklin high school eleven
came to life Wednesday and ran up
a 40-to-0 score against Lincoln.
Franklin used a dazzling forward
pass formation which bewildered the
Rallplitters. The Quaker line was
a trifhs weak at the guards, and the
Lincoln backs plunged through sev
eral times for big gains.
Coach Campbell promises to
strengthen the weak spots, however,
before next Friday's game against
Commerce. The winner of this game
will be tied with Benson should the
latter dispose of James John, the
tail ender.
The Benson eleven, after two
weeks' lay-off, will wind up its sea
son next Wednesday against James
John. There is little chance for
James John to spill the dope, for,
with Captain Surber out with inju
ries. James John seems to .have lost
all its early season vim when it held
the powerful Commerce team to a
7-to-6 score.
Jefferson and Lincoln clash Thurs
day. After a rather poor start Jeffer
son came to life Friday and sprung
one of the surprises of the year by
walloping Commerce, 20 to 0. The
week previous Commerce won a spec
tacular game from Benson, which had
little trouble In downing the Demo
crats. When Commerce took the field Fri
day it was the big favorite. But soon
atter the game started Jefferson be
came the aggressor and) the ball was
In Commerce territory most of the
time.
The Armistice day crowd that saw
Jefferson beat Commerce was the
third largest on Multnomah field this
year. The California - Washington
State game and the one between Ben
son and Washington are the only
contests to draw larger gatea
After an illness of several weeks
Fullback Magnum of Commerce re
turned to school and was started

did little to prevent the Jefferson
onslaught.
SOME BOXERS GREAT WALKERS
Dan O'Leary, Xoted Pedestrian,
Names Fighters to Prove Point.
"Three of the greatest fighters I
ever knew were pedestrians," said
Dan O'Leary, famous walker, who
still Is walking, though 80 years of
age. "The men in question are John
L. Sullivan, Jack Dempsey and Tom
my . Gibbons. Sullivan is dead, but
the other two men are very, much
alive. Gibbons, I understand, has not
paid out $10 for taxicabs in two
years. He walks whenever he Is not
fighting. To look at Tom is to gaze
on a picture of health. Any boxer
who does not do plenty oi walking
and live outdoors will never amount
to anything.
"Nearly all famous English fight
ers have been great walkers," con
tinued Dan. "A British boxer who
does not hit the road for a ten-mile
walk w hen in training is looked upon
as a quitter and a man who will not
stand the gaff. Billy Gale, former
long-distance walker of England, at
times was a trainer of boxers in
England and made them all go the
limit with him every morning on the
road.
"Another thing that I would advise
boxers to do Is to train in the open,"
added Dan. "The other day in Chi
cago I was in a gymnasium where a
noted fighter was at work and the
place was so filled with smoke that
I had to take a Jaunt to Milwaukee
to get my lungs filled with fresh air."
Hunters Meet NeVr Duck.
MARYSVILLE, Cal., Nov. 6. A new
species of wild ducks have been dis
covered in the tules adjacent to this
city, when two Oakland hunters
killed some of the birds. None of the
sportsmen seem to know the name of
this new duck. The birds are slight
ly larger than the mallard and are
entirely black save for the feathers
on the neck, which are of a. light
brown shade. Around the neck are a
few whitish-gray feathers. Apparent
ly but few. If any, of this species of
duck have been discovered in the gun
club preserves of Sutter and Colusa
counties and they created considera
ble Interest among sportsmen.

BEST BOXERS FIGHT DUBS
MARKS OFTEX DANGEROUS
MEN TO TRIFLE WITH.
Jack Britton Seldom Gives Wild
Ones Cliance to Do Much
When He Meets Them.
Many of the best boxers in the
various classes are seldom averse to
taking on what, the managers term
"marks," or dubs, and this despite the
fact that these same so-called dubs
are often the most dangerous custom
ers to handle. A past master at the
game, like Jack Britton. seldom gives
the wild ones much chance, as Jack
has handled so many of them, but
Just the same the welterweight cham
pion has often admitted that he would
prefer any time to meet a fighter who
can box than one who knows nothing
of the game but slug.
That was the case with Pinky
Mitchell, Milwaukee lightweight con
tender, when he boxed Tommy Neary
at Milwaukee auditorium. As a boxer
Neary does not class with Mitchell,
but as a fighter he Is a game and
willing kid. Pinky boxed rings around
him. and used his left hand almost ex
clusively, taking good care of his
right mauler, which was Just getting
to Its normal condition after his
meeting with Eddie Fitzslmmons at
Boston a few months ago. The fans
were disappointed in a way, as they
expected Pinky to knock Neary
cuckoo In about two rounds.
As Kid McCoy used to say. "I Just
dahced around him as a cooper would
around a barrel." and that is about
what Pinky Mitchell did to Mr. Neary.

in publio playgrounds and on publlo
school grounds. The action of' the
commission Is being highly com
mended, as the playground apparatus
in found to be popular among Uie
children.
The commission derives lta play
ground fund from the 10 per cent
commission, which, under the law, It
charges for all public athletic events
as boxing and wrestling.
The state is divided into district
and over each district the three com
missioners have jurisdiction as to the
purchase and placement of apparatus.
At the last session of the state legis

the merits of the state athletic com
mission law. But from the good that
tho expenditure of the money paid
Into the commitsnlon is doing, it was
decided by members of both house
not to Intorfre with the law.
