Rough and Tumble Affair Designed
. to Be In Keeping With Rett
of Entertainment.
BT GEORGE COTOE.
Frank Kendall, matchmaker of the
Mllwaukle boxing commission, has
a boat decided to put en a mixear bout
between a boxer and a wrestler as
a special attraction on the boxing
card at Mllwaukle Friday night.
Kendall baa arranged a proerarame
f real battlers, boys who may be
a. little shy on tfe scientific stuff,
bat who can put up a ferocious scrap,
and he figures mat a rough-and-tumble
affair between a grappler
and a boxer would be in keeping
with the rest of the entertainment.
Ted Thye. wrestling Instructor at
the Multnomah Amateur Athletic
club, who is about as clever a mid
dleweight wrestler as there is in
this country, has expressed a desire
to go on against a boxer. Kendall
plans to use Thye against some good
middleweight boxer, probably Eddie
Richards.
Two boxing bouts already have
been signed for Friday night's show.
Battling Savage of I-os Angeles and
Floyd Johnson. Oakland heavy, will
meet In the ten-round main event,
while Jimmy West and Bat Ortega,
both of Oakland, will clash In the
six-round semi-windup. Savage and

Tom Louttit. boxing instructor a

wrought un over an article wh'ch
anneared recently In the Ios Angele
Times. DeWItt Van Court, boxing
instructor at the Los Angeles Athletic
club, is the suthor of the article, and
he takes Tun to task for his work an
referee in the two Harry Wills-Bill
Tate boms at Milwaukie. Com'ns
from someone who did not even see
' the content Louttit considers the
criticism uniust and uncalled for.
Sneaking of the first fight which
Louttit stopped In the first round to
give the bout to Tale on a foul. an
Court says that Louttit. after warn
Ing the boxers to break clean, had
stepped between them to break up a
clinch and was holding them both at
arms' length when Wills soaked Tate
on the Jaw and put him down.
According to Louttlt he never steps
between boxers or uses physical force
In breaking a clinch. He had his
hands on the boxers' shoulders when
Wills delivered the foul blow, de
clares Louttlt. He uses a light slap
on the shoulders to call the boxers'
attention when they do not hear the
command to bresk.
Van Court calls the second fight
between Wilis and Tate "one of the
roughest and foulest contests ever
seen In the northwest." Those who
-saw the fight may Judge for them
selves. Louttlt says It was the clean
feet heavyweight fight ever seen here,
with both men obeying the command
to break clean at all times.
Vsn Court says that in the second
iright Louttit let Wills hold Tate with
rne hand while he bano-ed awav on
Bill's kidneys with the other. LoutUt
ac:ares emphatically that he did not
taIlow any holding In the bout and
that both hands were free when they
.were fighting in the clinches.
Further along In his panning, the
Los Angeles "expert" says no referee
has a right to order either fighter to
etep back after a clinch. Louttit
comes right back with the assertion
that for boxers to break clean they
must step back.

SAX FRANCISCO. Feb. 11. (Spe
cial.) In five yeara of the most se
vere competition, in high school, col
lege and Amateur Athletic union
competition, Charles Paddock, the
Vorld sprint champion, has run the
hundred yards in ten seconds or less
25 times. This does not include heats.
but only the official time of finals,
or an average of five times even ior
better - for each of live full years.
This performance stamps the sprinter
as. one of the most consistent cinder
short distance men the world has
ever seen.
Paddock started running in 1313,
when he was attending grammar
school. He gained hid first title that
year, doing the hundred in 11 2-5
seconds, and he repeated next year,
and in 1915 won his district title and
the county title, the latter in 10 4-5,
the first time he had beaten 11 sec
onds.
AVorlc Is Analysed.
From 1916 to 1919 he was running
in high school and Amateur Athletic
union competition, and from 1919 on
in college and Amateur Athletic
union competition. While a Pasa
dena high school in a meet against
Manual Arts of Los Angeles he first
broke into real prominence by Deat
ing 10 seconds. In two meets he
made 9 4-5 seconds.
From 1915 to last year an analysis
of his hundred-yard times shows the
following: 9 S-5 seconds, five times;
9 4-5 seconds, seven times; 10 seconds,
13 times; 10 1-5 seconds, four times;
16 2-5 seconds, 11 times; 10 3-6 sec
ends, four times; 10 4-5 seconds, once

His greatest success was achieved
in 1920 and 1921. Not once in those

University of British Columbia and
other stroojr northern teams in April.
In the first or its tnree-game series

ket quintet tho Cardinal varsity lost
by a J4-to-14 score. Seven players
on the Cardinal squad suffered from
colds as a result of the trip north
to play the Aggies and University of
Oregon.
Coach Gene an Gent will not
leave Stanford if a resolution adopted
by the board of athletic control is
acceptable to him. The board an
nounced that van Gent was satisfac
tory aa a coach and that obtaining
coaches of national reputation was in
way a reflection on his ability.
He was commended for his work in
basketball and football. His position
was admitted to be a trying one, and
the board adopted the resolution to
iear the minds of the public as to
he status of the cardinal football
nd basketball head.
Van Gent has mad-i no statement
as to his plans, but the student body
would like to see him continue on
the staff.

permitted us to. keep the old In trim
as well as the young.
All this being so, we sometimes
wonder why all the fuss over sport.
F-vidcntly it is cheap at triple the
present price if it really Is a war
preventive, for we are reminded every
March that the last bill for indul
gence in that activity has by no
means been paid. So if commercial
ism is too great a burden In inter
collegiate sports, the best thing to
do, from all accounts. Is to wipe it
out and Indulge in another lnterna-
icnal conflict. It is evident, judging
from tre many conferences of diplo
mats and their length, that there yet
remain points to war over.
There are evils in intercollegiate
athletics. As a matter of fact, there
always will be. Just as there are
evils in all effort, for we are not
quite a perfect race even with women
voting and prohibition the law. The
point at issue Is whether -the present
tendency to make reform is rightly
directed. The New York Times evi
dently thinks not In a recent edi
torial it was inclined to place the
blame for the trouble in colleges
upon those in charge. We here rise
to remark that this is passing the
buck to President Lowell of Harvard
pretty strong.
m -
Personally, we have never opposed
golf. In fact, we have frequently
overlooked a man's - neglecting his
work in order to enjoy a round. But
when Jim Barnes, United States open
champion, writes, "another common
cause for slicing is not breaking the
wrists as the ball is being hit," we
think it high time some step be taken
to stamp out such brutality.
Yes. me agree that heavyweight
prise fighting for the title today is
pretty much a matter of seeing how
little an opponent will take for being
knocked down and how much Demp
sey must have for delivering the
blow.

NEW YORK. Feb. 11. The Sandes
Fators, Turners and all veteran jock
eys who were in the limelight on the
metropolitan tracks last season may
not have things ail their own way
this year. A new crop of youngsters
is being developed and they promise
to furnish the turf with some first-
rate riders. For the last 15 years
stars of the- pigskin have been de
veloped at the winter tracks, but this
winter promises to produce more good
riders than ever before.
In Charles ' (Chick) Lang, Jim
Arthur has a youngster who will come
north heralded as another Tod Sloan.
He has proved time and again that
he is a wizard with the- reins. Al
though only lj years old, veteran
horsemen proclaim him the, best rider
In the country. He has. been riding
only two years, but he knows all the
tricks of a veteran. Horses like to
run for him and he seldom if ever
uses a whip. He talks to his mounts
and pleads with them to go on and
almost always they give him all the
speed and stamina they possess.
Horsemen say he is the best horse
at New Orleans. He weighs only 90
pounds and Jim Arthur, his employer,
says he is worth his weight in gold.
Last fall Arthur put a price of $10,-
000 on him. Since then his price has
increased weekly until now $25,000
would not buy him. The lad is a
clean living youngster and Arthur
treats him like a member of his fam
ily. Lang loves horses and spends all
of his leisure time playing with them.
21) Winners at One Meeting.
At Jefferson park he rode 29' win
ners in 27 days and attracted a fol
lowing such as no jockey has had at
New Orleans in more than a decade.
W ith his host of followers he started
the new year auspiciously at the Fair
Grounds and rode 27 winners In 15
days. He has a wonderful seat, skill- j
ful hands, is alert at the post and can
put up a finish the equal of any jockey
almost twice his weight. He knows
the shortest route home, is a good
udge of pace and isn't afraid of any
kind of a horse. His honesty is above
reproach and he seems as much inter
ested in the success of the racegoers
who wager on his mounts as he does
about the size of the prize he re
ceives from horsemen who employ
him. He has never ridden in New
York, but it is his intention to come
here with the opening of the season
in May. He was born In Canada. Jim
Arthur found him looking for ar job
at Hamilton.
Another youngster who is riding
like a veteran,- is Austin McLaughlin,
son of the once world-famed jockey
Jimmy McLaughlin. Austin rode a
few races here last season, but - he
didn't show any exceptionally good
form until he went to Oriental park,
at Havana. There he rode winner
after winner and on numerous occa
sions got the second best horse home
in front. Horsemen say he is a chip
of the old block and that he will
give a good account of himself when
he reaches New York tracks in the
spring. He is only 17 years old and
weighs 90 pounds. .
Walls Good Jockey.
Pete Walls, brother of Georgie
Walls, demonstrated last year that he
had the makings of a good jockey in
him. With small, quiet horses he
could hold his own with the veterans.
He -weighed only 70 pounds, and
big horse was too much for him and
he was unable to hold him in on the
turns. This -winter Jim Fitzsimmons
sent him to Cuba with Frank Frisby.
There he was a sensation until he
met with an accident a fortnight ago
and suffered a broken collarbone. I
a letter from him last week he sai
he was rapidly recovering and would
return to the saddle before the end
of the month. He said he has gained
several pounds and developed th
mi, coles nf Vila a i-m a ran n nw
hold any- kind of a horse. "He has
everything Joe McCahey possessed-
seat, hands, nerve, alertness at the
post and a faculty of making a horse
run his best without punishing him.
Eddie Kontmer May Be Star,
Eddie Kummer, brother of the vet
eran Clarence,- is not a winter de
velopment, but next season he prom
lses to play an important part in at
fairs on the turf. Near the end o
last season he rodq many winners and
showed improvement with every
mount. He is a mite of a lad, -weigh
ing less than 90 pounds, but he can
do almost everything his brother can
with a horse. Sandy McNaughton,
who has a contract on him, predicts
he will be one of the star lightweight
riders in the country next summer.
Like all good jockeys, he isn't afraid
of any kind of a horse and he Is one
of the hardest workers at Belmont
park. He is the first of McNaughton's
stable help at work in the mornings
and he is the last one finished at
niglit. He is tall and rangy, and be
cause he is so thin his brother and
the other stable mates call him
"Razor."
In Gantne'r'Clarence Buxton has the
m.kine-a nf a. e-ood lockev. But nn
like LangWalls, Eddie Kummer and
McLaughlin, he is an in and outer,
and for that reason doesn't receive
as; many mounts as he should. He
rode several races here last summer.
Some of them were bad and others
were exceptionally good. With a big.
first-class stable he probably would
develop into a top-noteh rider quickly.
A lad named A. ilson has been
riding more exceptionally good races
at New Orleans. He is a sort of a
daredevil youngster and uses rough
tactics as well as skill in getting his
mouifts home. Horsemen say he .is
almost sure to develop into a first-

of his succession of victories on the

The only trophies that Murphy has are
a few newspaper clippings and a nice
little bank account. Murphy Is the
favorite here of the long list of well
known racers who will enter the Bev

Grand Prix has not beei received by
Murphy, although he swept the field
in the foreign classic at Le Mans last
July in the most spectacular victory
in the history of the motor racing
sport. The French medal has not
been awarded on account of the very
strict laws regulating the shipment
of gold between France and the
United States; but the Automoblleclun
of France thas offered, however, to
