FOR PURSE OF 51000
With a new crop of stellar amateur
battlers In the making, one Is moved
to look back six or seven years and
wonder what became of the "Simon-
pure" mixers of that day who fur
nished the only fistlo entertainment
Portland boxing followers were- then
privileged to enjoy. Previous o 1915
four rounds were the limit and none
of the boxers then appearing before
the fans was more than a seini-pro at
most.
Those boys have entered many lines
of endeavor. When the professional
mitt same was revived here through
the old Itose City Athletic club many
of the amateurs decided to enter the
professional ranks. Among the scrap
pers who took that step and later
developed Into first-rate professional
fighters were Billy Mascott, Al Bora
men. Valley Trambitas. Abe Gordon.
Sammy Gordon, Touglty Wing. George
Brandon, Jack Wagner, Jack Allen,
Billy Nelson, Joe Benjamin, Carl Mle
bus, Tost Schmeer, Jimmy Moscow,
Carl Hansen. Al Beyers, Donny Der
byshire. Tad Derby shire. Al McNeil,
Walter Knowlton', .Ralph Gruman and
many others.
Wagner Bays He's Through. .
Ralph Underwood, Harry Hansen.
Oscar Carlson, Suaimervllle, Ed Con
quint. Carmen Syveson, Art Koppin
ger, Dick Hewitt, Frank Heulat, Wal
ler Williams, Len Powers. Harry
Groat and d Boatwrlght. all maln
eventers In the amateur days, fight
ing under the colors of Multnomah
club or the armory, remained true to
their amateur traditions and never
atered the professional ranks. There
wre droves of others who flashed to
the. front for a short while only to
drop back into oblivion, even among
the amateurs.
Of jie first named batch of boys,
Mascott, Trambitas, the two Gordons,
Wing, Brandon, Benjamin and Beyers
are the only ones still boxing In the
ring. Wagner Is boxing Instructor
at the armory, but says he is through
forever with the figlvt game. Jack
Allen, who put up many a tough fight'
here, is firing on a railroad. Mlebus,
Schmeer, Moscow. Hansen, Tad and
Donny Derbyshire, Knowlton. Gru
man and McNeil all are in some trade
or business and have not boxed for
several years. Oruman is still iden
tified with the game, but as referee
for the Portland boxing commission.
Several Enter MoVles.
Al McNeil, Walter Williams and
7 -en Powers, among the best ama
teurs ever developed here, all are In
the moving picture business In Los
Angeles. They are Interested in the
technical end. of it and have been
quite successful. McNeil returned to
Portland three or four years ago for
a professional fight with Joe Benja
min, but Williams and Powers never
tried the ring as a means of liveli
hood. Harry Groat, who once was about
the best boy at his weight here, de
serted the ring early in his career
to try his hand at piloting speed
boats. He registered such success
that he stuck with It and put over
some of the biggest winners in the'
country.
This crop of boys Included a bunch
of real fighters. They started as Si-mon-pures,
but when clubs began to
spring up mushroom-like all over the
city and to bid against each other
for the boys, merchandise slips and
other methods of giving the boys
something beside a -medal or belt
came Into vogue. Toward the last
the "amateurs" were getting purses
of $25 or 3o and then suddenly about
half the battler were refueed ama
teur cards.
This led to a gradual working over
of the game and many of the boys
went professional. The six two-minute
round bouts with a knock down
ending a round at the Hose City Ath
letlo club marked the restoration f
the pro game. Several years later
Mayor Baker appointed a municipal
boxing commission and bouts of six
three-minute rounds were permitted.
The next step was the taking over
of the game by the boxing commis
slon and the demise of the so-called
private promoters. Then the legisla
ture passed the ten-round law three
years ago. Naturally, with the pro
fessional game back after a layoff
of years, few of the fans cared to
attend the amateur c94s.
Then again, there were really no
amateurs left with any class. Now
in flurn the fans are somewhat
wearied of the paid professionals and
seem in a receptive mood lo welcome
once again the Simon-pure glove
pushers, the more so as so many
clever boys are coming up. '
Some real classy-looking youngsters
are fighting under the colors of the
Multnomah Amateur Athletic " club,
lite Armory Athletic association and
the B'nal B'rlth club. One of the big
gest crowds that ever attended an
amateur card was on hand for last
week's bill at the armory. The suc
cess ot that venture has pepped up
the club bfticials into action and they
promise such a card at least once a
month hereafter.

(Special.) Andy .Smith, coach of the
University of California football team,
wilU be a member of the intercol
legiate rules committee, this year, ac
cording to a statement made by him.
The meeting will be held some time
In the spring, probably in New York,
and Andy will represent the Pacific
coast.
Lat year Walter Powell, then head
coach at Sanford. represented the
coast, but since Powell will leave
Stanford next fall and also since he
is no longer coaching at Stanford,
the committee evidently saw fit to
appoint Smith as the coast repre
sentative. The appointment of Smith Is ex
pected, to meet with favor in all col
leges and universities on the roast.
There will be few changes In loot
ball rules for next season, it is said,
and those rules changed are expected
to be of minor importance. I.ai year
there was talk about a change to
modify the forward pass, but no
change was made.

PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING
rXDER NEW WHITE Rfl.ES.
Contests Will De Staged by Rounds
of Ten Minutes Each, 'Thus
Eliminating Stalling.
Portland will have its first chance
to see professional wrestlers perform
under the new White rules at an all-
star card of mat matches Friday,
February 3, at the Labor temple. The
new rules, which were devised by Ed
White of Chicago, known as the Mar
quis of Queensberry of the wrestling
game, require that matches be staged
by rounds Instead of the old method
of wrestling continuously to a finish
or one period of two hours. .
The White rules were tried out re
cently In Chicago and made a hit. for,
they eliminated stalling and every
round was a thriller. The show at the
Labor temple will feature Moose Nor-
beck and A. E. Beeson, heavyweights.
In one match and Oscar Butler and
11 Lux, middleweight' in the other.
Norbeck and Beeson will wrestle
ten ten-minute rounds or the best two
out of three falls, while Butler and
Lux will go six rounds of ten minutes
each. Norbeck Is an old-timer at
wrestling, having met such men as
Jack Taylor, Jim Londos, Nick Da-
viscourt, Jess Westergard and Henry
Ordsen. Beeson is known as the wres
tling motorman of the Sellwood car
barns. Butler is well known in the north
west. His most recent victory was
over Ben Reuben, the Chicago mid
dleweight. Lux is a Finn, who has
been wrestling hereabouts for some
time.
There will be two preliminaries.
Jimmy Anderson and John Vidahof
will wresstle a three ten-minute-round
match and Red Nutting, the terror of
Greeham, will meet an opponent yet to
be selected In the'other preliminary.

Sport News and Comment
At the time that several players of the
Chicago White Sox were mixed up In the
(ambling mesa that now . is baaeball
history, many suggestions were mad to
the owners of the club that they change
the nam of their organisation. Th ap
pellation of "Black Box" assigned to the
men Involved, it was feared, would cling
to the other player ae well.
But Comlakey was not Inclined to
change. He held that a bank would not
change It nam If a teller or cashier
was unworthy of Its trust. That be was
correct seems demonstrated. The Whit
Sox remained the White Sox.
An old man puts forward th sugges
tion that had Cpmlskey changed th
name, the new nam now would be a
constant reminder of the disagreeable In
cident. In future " years-, writers would
recall that they used to be called th
White Sox, and then would relate why the
name was changed. Now th opportunity
does not exist. "

events, who regard Champion Dempsey

Th "knockout" Is not confined t th

many occasions a player Is really "knocked

Golf Links ,More Popular
SEATTLE. Wash., Jan. 21. Seattle's
municipal golf links at Jefferson
park were more popular, by, a wide
margin, during 1921 than in any
other year since the course was es
tablished in 1915. judging by attend
ance figures. Figures made' public
by the Seattle park board showed
that 91.447 golfers registered in 1921.
as compared with 73.382 In 1920, the
previous record year. In 1916 49,118

LESSON OF FALSE ECONOMY
LEARNED BY MANAGERS.
There Seems to Be No Reason Why
Baseball Season Will Not
Be Profitable.
SAN FRANCISC6. Cal., Jan. 21.
There, seems to be no reason why
baseball the country over should not
experience as profitable a season as it
did in 1921. There is the one con
tingency of a runaway race, which
would rob the schedule of interest.
Owners and managers on the coast
have learned that . Is false economy
to put poor teams in the field. The
fans are baseball wise and know ex
actly what they aro entitle! to.
With the bolstering up of the teams
that last season were notably w:ak,
there should be an improvement.
Portland was particularly weak. This
always is a tin .can to a tall, no mat
ter how excellent the rest of the com
bination may be. Every week the
series In which the weak team is
playing is practically a dead issue
and soon a sore spot Is bound to af
fect the whole league In a long sea
son. It is not the loss of any one
particular week. But the aggregate
of say, 28 weeks, mounts up to a
considerable item.
The transfer of McCredie, ex-manager
of the Portland team, as man
ager of the Seattle team, will be a
change that will be watched with In
terest. The oldest Inhabitant does
not know the time when McOredie
was not manager -of the Portland
club. There is no shrewder manager
on the coast and in his new field
there appears to be no reason why
he, should not revert to the glory of
his old days, when his club, instead
of being a pitiful tallender, was win
ning pennants regularly.

The sale of Frank J3ruggy. the ix
foot Phlily catcher, to the Beavers
for $6500. said-to be the highest price
ever paid by a Class AA club for a
ballplayer, eeems to have stirred the
big leagues tremendously. To quote
from a Phlledlphia newspaper;
"No players ccme to Philadelphia
In the Bruggy sale. It was a straight
cash deal. The move is Inexplicable
to the fans. Here is Bruggy. who
came to the Phils last spring with a
great hitting reputation, and In his
first season in the majors proved
that the dope on him waa right by
batting .310 in a big bunch of games.
He caught neafly every game for the
Phils for fhe first three-quarters of
the season.
"After Bill Donovan was deposed
and Wilhelm appointed to his place,
Bruggy was not seen behind the bat
so often. There Is a hint that his
friendship for Bill Donovan suggested
his aale to Portland; but how was it
that the 15 other major league clubs
waived on him?
"Here is a young man, hitting .319
In his first season In fast company,
kicked out without a second-year
trial.' Tet baseball manage will Aay
that it is difficult to find good catch
ers who can hit. Bah!" v
And. referring to the ' sale of
Bruggy as "'railroading him," the
same paper quotes the comment of
Sam Crane In the New; Tork Evening
journal;
"The transfer of Catcher Frank L.
Bruggy by the Philadelphia National
league club to the far-away Portland,
Or., club is another Instance of the
Injustice of the practice of sending
players to distant clubs .without the
men eo shifted being given oppor
tunity for consultation as to choice of
clubg or locality.
"Many players have family reasons
for not wanting to be far away from
their homes, and the system is fre
quently a real hardship in many
ways. Bruggy has been shifted
around so often in his baseball ca
reer that he may have become im
mune to all home sentiment and pos
sibly takes- his most recent 'ring
around - the - rosy' as a matter of
course; but forcing a man to become
a tramp player must be entirely for
eign to Commissioner Land is' idea
of justice and fairness to the men
who desire to go higher inv the pro
fession they have adopted. The
transfer system surely must kill .the
ambition of all thoa players who
have any.
"No doubt Bruggy, when he se
cured a position with the Philadelphia
c:ut, thought he was at least settled
In a spot a very elastic imagination
tor any member of tho Phillies to
have. Bruggy last season looked
good enough to hold his job In Phila
delphla the coming se-.son. He was
energetic, full of pep and really did
excellent work. His record shows
that he batted at a .310 clip in 96
games, and he made many extra-base
hits. No doubt he would be a valu
able backstop for. any club needing
a catcher. Still, e will have to go
out to Portland, where he will be
virtually hidden.
Now that Tom Turner has been
signed as manager of the Beavers,
the Coast league managerial roster is
complete. This la how the eigljt
ciuds win oe piiotea:

Sacramento Charley Pick.
Vernon Bill Esick. '
Los Angeles Wade Klllefer.
We speak of the Oakland manager
as "Ivan Howard or Honus Mitze,
despite the fact that Howard has
been officially announced as man
ager, because a peculiar row appears
to be brewing on the Oakland club.
Ivan Howard is a brother of Dei
Howard, part ownr of the club, and
the announcement that he would be
the 1922 manager was made by Del.
But now comes old Cal Ewing. who
owns more stock in the Oakland club
than Del Howard, and insists that
Honus Mitze will repeat as manager
next season at an increase In salary,
and that Ivan Howard was signed
only as utility Infielder. The Oak
land police shotgun squad may have
to settle it.
Charley Pick evidently thinks that
Bill Rodgerg did a pretty good job
ot picking the 1921 Sacramento team,
for, now that he has Rodgers out and
himself in as pilot. Pick announces
that he will stand pat on the lineup.
That means Fred MollWiti will cover
first, Marty McGafflgan second and
Billy Orr or Harry Lunte short, with
Pick himself at third. In the out
field he will continue with Kopp,
Compton, Buddy Ryan and Sheehan.
and Cook and Schang, reinforced by
Stanage from Los Angeles, will work
behind the bat.
Then as pitchers Pick will start
with the same old crowd,' Penner,
Prough, Fitteu. Kunl. Niebaus. Shea
and Canfieid. He says he may pick
up another pitcher or two. but that

manager takes charge and has noth
ing to do but sit pretty. ' . ,
BT GEORGE COWNE..
Another golf season is about to
break forth, and as yet practically
nothing has been done to provide for
the steadily increasing number of
golfers who depend on the 'municipal
links for their daily round. Another
couple of months and the players
will be swarming to the links.
Those fortunate enough to belong
to a private club are not worrying
but the outlook for the municipal
golfer is pretty slim. Of course, there
Is the Eastmoreiand links, but un
less the city of Portland comes to
some sort of an agreement with the
Ladd estate, which owns the East
moreiand tract, the golfers are liable
to be denied the privilege of playing
on this course.
The five-year agreement, by which
150 acres in Eastmoreiand were made
available for public use as a golf
course, free of rent, by the Ladd es
tate, has expired. The city now has
no claim to the Eastmoreiand course
and the Ladd estate is at liberty to
turn the cows in to graze on the
greens and fairways if It so desires.
There is not, much likelihood that
this will be done, but the city can
not expect to retain the golf course
unless it eViters into some agreement
with the Ladd estate.
. The cltv has two possible alterna
tives.- One Is to renew the old leas
for another five years, If this can oe
done. The other is for the city to buy
the 150 acres that comprise the first
and second nines of the municipal
course. The Ladd estate has ex
pressed willingness to dispose of the
property to the city for its assessed
valuation.
A meeting will be held soon by the
municipal golf committee, composed
of C. P. Keyser, superintendent of
the park bureau; Victor A. Johnson
and T. Morris Dunne and representa
tives of the Ladd estate. At this
meeting' some agreement may be
reached whereby the' Eastmoreiand
tract can be retained as a municipal
course.
Last year when it . first became
known that the city was planning on
building a course on the site of the
old county poor farm on Canyon road
it was supposed that this new course
would save the day for the municipal
golfer, but to date not a shovelful of
dirt has been turned on the property
toward building a new course. There
is some hope but not much that this
course will be ready about the mid
dle of next summer.
Committees have been appointed by
the Multnomah Amateur Athletic
club. Portland Golf club, Portland
Heights club and other organizations
to devise means of raising funds to
build the course. These committees
will meet at noon February 1 In the
green room of the Chamber of Com
merce. Then there is the proposed course
on the site of the old Rose City speedway.-
Here is anqther case where
funds are being raised by subscrip
tion. The financial committee for
the Rose City course has a good
start.. As the course there will be
only a nine-hole affair, perhaps it
can be made ready by spring.
At the annual meeting and election
of directors at the Wavcrley Country
club last night the following directors
were eleoted: A. C. U. Berry, W. M.
Cook, Prescott Cook Ingham, C. H.
Davis Jr., A. C. Hindman, C. E. Nel
son, Horace Mecklem, H. P. Thomp
son and George Maxwell. The elec
tion was merely a formality, as only
nine names were placed on the ticket
by the nomination committee.
The team match scheduled between
two picked teams at Waverley yes
terday was called off as the course
was in poor condition for play due to
the recent snow.
OREGON MAY ENTER MEET
TEAM MAY GO TO RELAY AT
PHILADELPHIA.
Cold Weather and Frozen Track
Hinder Work of Squad and Pros
Iects Are Xot Bright.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eu
gene, Jan. 21. (Special.) With, the
opening of spring track season comes
the announcement by Coach HaywarJ
that Oregon probably will send a
team to the Pennsylvania relay games
at Philadelphia. April 27, 28 and 29.
, "If we can develop enough men here,
we will have a team in that meet,"
said Hayward yesterday.
If Oregon does this, it will be for
the first time. Last year 600 teams
participated ip the meet. .
Cold weather and a frozen, cinder
track around Hayward field have
hindered but not stopped the 60 .track
men out fo places. A fair-siied
delegation has been out nightly de
spite the cold. They are working
under direction of Hank Foster,
assistant coach, although Bill Hay
ward will take personal charge next
week.
Track prospects are not especially
bright, -especially since it became
known that Arthur Tuck would not
return to school and Glenn Walkley,
who suffered a broken toe while
working for cross-country this fall,
could not participate. Tuck broke
the coa&f. javelin record last year
and showed up well ' in the discus.
walkley la the two-mile and dis
tance man and has added many points
to the Oregon score in the meets of
the last two years. He is also cap
tain of the team this year.
That leaves a ' slim nucleus of
veterans for the Oregon squad to
build-around, but there Is some good
new material lor the varsity, de
veloped in the freshman team last
year. Ralph Spearrow, best of the
first-year men, l addition to clean
ing up everything in the pole vault
has developed also into a first-class
high Jumper and broad jumper.
Lee Weber, freshman hurdler last
year, also will be out for the varsity.
John Rosenberg, who did well in the
pole vault last . year for ths babes,
will not be back. Jensen and Phil
Hps, last year on the varsity, will be
on hand to assist Sptarrow.
Lelth Abbot, who won the SS0
event easily in the 1920 northwest
meet, has returned to school and will
be out for the team. Abbot was not
in suhool last year.
