THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, 3IAT 21, 1922 iEMPSEY ADMITS IE "FAKED" STORY Champ's "Girl" Exists Only in His Imagination. JACK ON WAY TO WEST "I Was Only 'Spoofing' About Be ing Engaged," Says Fighter as Ho Leaves New York. BY IGOE. (Copjright by the New York World. Pub lished by Arrangement.) . NEW YORK, May 20. (Speo'al.) Jack Dempsey left on the 20th Cen tury Limited for California this after noon, and the last thing he said as he left gladsome Gotham was: "I'm going home to see mother and I'm not going td stop at Denver to see Miss Edith Rothwell. There is no such beautiful ma'd. I will have to confess that I was spoofing the boys last night when I told them .there was such a dainty person attending Boulder college. She's aGlrl of His Dreams. "Edith Rothwell Is just a sweet heart of my kidding imagination. She never existed. I give you my word on that. Tou know, they've hooked me up in marriage with every woman in the world from the queen of Bavaria to Bessie McCall of Suicide Hall. It got to be a joke after a while. I just thought I'd beat 'em all to my latest engagement, so I created the beautiful Edith Rothwell." Dempsey was full of Europe and the treatment accorded him as he played host at the Ansonia before train time. "That Joe Bennett man of ours all "but ruined us socially, said Dempsey, as he sprawled on the floor of his suite, trying to keep his two white English bulldogs on friendly terms with the big bob-tailed German hot dog, which absolutely refused to fra ternize. He was for doing his level best at the throats of the two thorough-bred English fighting dogs. Hot-Dog, What! "Let me tell you what he did at the embassy, the smartest club in Lon don. All blue-blooded members, and you couldn't get in with T. N. T. if you weren't invited by a member. "Well, they were giving us a din ner. Benjamin here was sandwiched in between Lord Castleton, an Irish blue-blood, and the duke of Man chester. The Irish question came up and it (rot hot between the duke and the lord. Benjamin had taken a shine to the Irish lord, was calling him 'kid' and his 'sparring partner.' F.'.nally Joe advised the lord that he shouldn't take any guff from the duKe and suggested that he paste him in the glimmer, and the lord amazed the sedate English company by sock ing the duke right in the eye. Duke Is Knocked Dead. fhcy straightened them out, but a little later Kearns and I missed the duke, the lord and our brave Joe, and we hunted for them. We got out in the reception room just in time to hear Joe coaching Lord Castleton as his lordship was knocking the duke dead. "Another time, in a swell club, one of the duke's friends came in spiffed. A nobby edge on. He was a clown blue-blood; we got that right off, for he got out on the looking glass floor and balanced a bumper of champagne on his bald dome. Of course, that was enough for Benjamin. He up with a bun and with a dead center shot broke the glass all over his dukelet "The duke didn't bat an eye, just filled another glass and balanced her again on his knob. Pop went another bun, and 11 different times Joe pot shotted the glasses. It was most un dignified in Joseph, but their duke ships and lordships laughed them selves silly. They thought it bally good sport 'dontchaknow,' " said the big champion as he adjusted the mon ocle given him by Lord Castleton. Kearns Right at Home. "And Doc Kearns there," continued Dempsey, "why, he seemed right at home. He danced with Lord Some body s wife, Lady Mary, at Ciro's in Paris. Doc put on the Chicago, the Camel and other jazz steps and shifts and Lady Mary just thought Doc was too cute for anything. He kept slap ping her on the bare shoulders, say ing 'How's my old kid? Etta gel, Mai and shet it up.' Say, I tell you they like, our stuff. The autograph fiends are the limit in London. They spend their lives collecting them. Once I was chased down several blocks to get away from them. When I ran around a cab to double on them they came the other way and headed me off.

Aggie First-Year Men Too Strong in Field Events. Ineligibility Bars Several From Teams. ' UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene, Or., May 20. (Special.); Although the Oregon freshmen won first place in all the dashes and took the one- mile relay race by a wide margin, the Aeeie rooks were too strong in the field events and emerged on the long end of a 72 to 49V4 score dual meet here Friday aftrenono. Sev eral members of both teams were I ruled out under ineligibility rules of j the Pacific coast conference. Oregon j lost Virden and Christmas. Virden j was the star man of the freshmen this year, and he had been working i hard in preparation for the meet. During last year's track season he j was a student at fomona college n j California, but was net on their track team. For the Oregon Aggies, Delphey, Nichols and Clougb were forced to sit on the bench, due to the same ruling. These three men were all attending California Institu tions last year. i No exceptional time was maae m any of the track events, in spite of the fact that the track was In first c)as3 condition. The Oregon fresh men took first place in the 100-yard dash, when Breakey nosed out Roms- by of the Aggie babes. Carruthers, running a pretty race in the 220-yard dash, was an easy victor, and Har denburg, for Oregon, had little diffi culty taking the 440-yard dash. The rooks took all three places in the shotput and first and second places In both the high and low hur dle events. The 880-yard run wa one of the prettiest races of the after noon.

Challenger for Middleweight Hon ors Has Impressive Record as Mat Athlete. George Barnes, who modestly Bills himself as the Nebraska whirlwind, has been signed to meet Ted Thye, wrestling instructor for the Multno mah Amateur Athletie club, In a two hour match Thursday night at the Lyric theater. Barnes is a middle weight who has wrestled some of the best men in his division in the east and middle west. Before coming to Portland he won the light heavyweight title of Mon tana. He is a legitimate middle, weight but as there were no men of his own weight in Montana he took on the light-heavy champ and loseed him in short order. , The Nebraska grappler "was at the Lyric theater last week meeting all comers. He offered f 25 to anyone who could etay with him 15 minutes. Oscar Butler, Portland middleweight, was the only man to stay with Barnes for the 15 minutes. The other chal lengers he tossed with ease. Barnes is in splendid condition as he av eraged three matches a day at the Lyric last week. Clarence Ecklund, one Of the few grapplers who holds a victory over Thye, had a ha.rd time with Barnes once in a handicap match. Ecklund conference meet. 3 Oregon's Javelin expected to win that event this year. agreed to throw Barnes twice In an hour but failed to gain even one fall.

Kisberg and Jackson Lively Two Who Were Never Able to Keep . , Uniform in Good Shape. The average player probably Isn't greatly concerned about his personal appearance on the ball field. But here again we find extremes. Swede Rls berg had a knack of acquiring dirt cn the exterior of his uniform which was amazing. Let him step straight from the laundry onto the ball field pnd by the end of that afternoon you might think he had been dragged through a coal bin. That, however, was in the days of "doctored" baseballs, when some of the athletes had their uniforms camou liaged with tar oil as an aid to the pitcher. Joe Finneran was a tar-oil p:'V:her when with Vernon and that explained his spotted appearance. Jack Lively, however, held the good championship several years when he was with Oakland. From the looks Of Jack's shirt front on the ball field everybody simply took it for' granted that he was the most careless tobacco chewer In the world. Tet it was hard to understand why a strong man could not apparently spit farther than the third button of his blouse. It later developed that Lively used what some years subsequently was termed the mud ball, and carried the stuff In his gills with which to "doctor" it. The drips from this ruined his personal appearance. Now for the Other extreme. There was once a pitcher In the coast league Who Insisted on having his baseball brogans freshly polished every time he stepped in the box. That was a waste of perfectly good nickels. Shines were five cents In those days. Reading Gets Pitcher Niehaug. READING, Pa., May 20. President Moore of the Reading International league club announced today the pur chase Of Pitcher Richard J.

OLD MAN SWIMS MILE GEORGE RUBY CELEBRATES ON 6 0TH BIRTHDAY. Chicago Sexagenarian Performs Water Feats That Are Envy, of Younger Men. BY NORMAN ROSS, World's Champion Swimmer. CHICAGO, May 20. (Special.) There are many ways of celebrating birthdays, but not many persons ob serve their 60th anniversary in the same fashion as did -George Ruby of the Illinois Athletic club. On the day he reached three score years he swam a mile In the club pool, a feat by no means easy even for a younger ewimmer. Ruby started at a fair pace with the side stroke, later changing to the breast, the stroke he used for the greater part of the distance. At the end of his spectacular stunt he seemed none the worse for it, Mr. Ruby enjoys a dual distinction. He has twice been elected president of the Otters, an honor heretofore con ferred on no other, and he is the moat regular attendant at the noonday swimming classes. Every day he Is in the water, swimming a few lengths, diving from the high board, and play ing a rough game of polo with the younger members. His agility from the board Is amaz ing; back flips, front and back Jack knifes and an occasional somersault being his dally routine. In the friend ly polo matches his adversaries be ware of his clutches, for he does not seem to have heard that aged bones are brittle. He 19 as careless ot oth ers' bones as he is of his own-. "How do I do it?" he said in reply to a question, "Why, it's simple. I have found that there is nothing like a dip in the old pool at noon to keep me in form. I am able to keep going at a faster clip all day on account of my regular exercise." Mr. Ruby has not been swimming all his life, but became interested in recent years. He is one of the most enthusiastic of the followers of the sport who make the Illinois cham pionship teams possible. His name appears at the head of every sub scription list, whether it is to send a club team to China or to buy a couple of new teeth some Btar may have lost in a polo match.

Morvich. has proved that he can go a distance and maintjain his speed His impreesivev victory in the Ken tucky derby must have convinced the doubters. Even after his sensational performances as a 2-year-old there were; some the minority, it is true who. refused to accept the son of Runnymede as a really great horse. He had come to the turf too closely on the heels of that super-horse. Man o' War. In spite of the fact that as a 2-year-old he did everything that was asked of him, running on all kinds of tracks, under all kinds of conditions. conceding pounds of Weight to. his rivals and covering dif ferent distances, a few would not per mit themselves to recognize In him one of the greatest of race horses. Making his first start as a 3-year-old, Morvich entered one of the big gest classics of the American turf. He not only won, but he covered the mile and a quarter in 2:04 3-5, one second and a fifth slower than the record for the race made by Old Rose bud in 1914. And he was not extended. Had he been pushed, the chances are he would have bettered that mark. It was the 12th time that Morvich has gone to the post during his racing career, and it was his 12th victory. In this respect he has launched his campaign as a 3-year-old with a bet ter record than Man oTvar, which was defeated once as a 2-year-old, but in a race that has been questioned and thrown out of consideration by the majority. As a 2-year-old Mor vich won a total of $116,234. Add to this the 346,775 which he won In the darby on Saturday and his winnings total $162,005. Man o'War earned $249,465. Thus Morvich must win $87,456 more to equal Man 'War's earnings. Block's colt already stands sixth in the list of American money winning horses, being surpassed only by Man o'War, Domino, Sysonby, Colin and Exterminator, At the same time that Morvich was establishing himself as a 3-year-old, another colt of like age gained a niche in the torf's hall of fame at Pimlico. R. T. Wilson Jr. uncovered a very promising animal In Pillory, which won the $60,000 PreaJsness. The colt showed impressive form In ac complishing this feat That he. is game is proved by the fact that he beat Hea by only a head in a great duel through the stretch. The race also served to Indicate to the satisfaction of a majority of the followers of racrnsr that Miss . Joy; the western filijr which showed such good form as a 2-year-old, cannot travel" a distance. ;' She was ourrun all the way, and virtually quit after go ing four furlongs.
