Wills Regarded as Most Likely
Opponent for Champion If
Any Can Be Found.
Senator William C. (Wild Bill)
Xiyons, of Denver, side kick and pal
of Jack Dempsey and many other fis
tic celebrities, arrived in Portland
yesterday from San Francisco for a
few days' visit before continuing on
to New York.
Lyons has held the watch in four
world's championship encounters and
in many no-decision contests between
champions and contenders. The sen
ator is said to be the only man who
can pacify Dempsey when the cham
pion becomes irked. There are few
places to which Dempsev goes that
Iyons isn't with him. His proudest
possession is a watch in a solid plat
inum case, weighing 104 penny-
I weights, a present from Dempsey sev
eral years ago.
Telegram In Received.
Lyons keeps his finger on the pulse
I of the fistic world, being in almost
I daily touch with the leaders of the
game. He received a telegram yester
day upon his arrival here from Billy
Gibson, manager of Benny Leonard,
llightweight champion of the world.
skmg if he would keep time for
Leonard in his slated 15-round cham
iiionship go with Jack Britton. Lyons
liys it is his belief that the match
has not yet been actually signed but
It hat there is little doubt that it will
Iso through.
At any rate. Gibson wanted to see
w his timekeeper was lined up. In
:ie fight each champion will have his
vn timer, the boxing commission ap
minting a third man.
Lyons cannot see any action for
Dempsey at all. In fact, confidential
he believes that Jack never witi
light again. Lyons says that any on
who thinks Jack is anywhere near
iieing on the rocks is out of his head.
!Ie declares that Dempsey is worth at
least $500,000, has one of the most
beautiful homes in the world in Los
Ivngeles, three automobiles, and other
worldly possessions.
Wills Han Chance.
If Jack does swing into action
,yons says it will be against no one
lse but Harry Wills, and that if he
!oes go through with such a match
lack will not take a penny less than
jou.ooo in the palm of his hand be
fore the day, or even month, of the
ignt. 1 he senator holds a sneaking
telief that there is a bare possibility
f Jess Willard'B being dished up to
ck again. Lyons had a lone- talk
'1th Willard in Los Angeles the other
lay, and, although Jess did not talk
word of shop, he looked the iilc-
ure of health and admitted that he
fas doing plenty of hard work every
ay.
Lyons will depart for New York In
i verai days, where he will rest up
r the summer. This fall he ox-
lects to take a trip to England with
enny Leonard, where he wilt look

$100,000 DEAL FOR KAMM
STIRS UP BASEBALL GOSSIPS
Seal Player Hides Out to Avoid Facing Curious Fans After News
of Deal Is Published in San Francisco.
BY HARRY B. SMITH.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 3. (Special.)
Baseball has been very. much to
the fore the past week, Whatr
with Judge Landis dealing a seem
ingly knockout blow to the owners
of the Portland baseball club and the
Seals selling Willie Kamm for a mere
$100,000 and two players, the fans
have had quite a number of angles to
discuss. The Klepper-Landis Inci
dent in Portland would have kept the
boys chattering for lo these many
days had not the sale of Kamm come
right on top of it.
But the fans dearly love to talk
about big deals, and Kamm and the
Chicago White Sox have completely
put the Portland transaction, for the
time being, out of the running. -Of
coarse the news end of the story
has been told and retold.
But there are many'littje sidelights
that are still of much interest.
Deal Hinted Monday. -
It was Intimated in" the Monday
morning papers that Chicago might
offer a tremendous sum for Kamm.
This news was confirmed early Mon
day morning, and the writer took a
trip out to Kamm's home to try to
find the youngster who has come into
the limelight over night.
At baseball - headquarters nobody
knew just where the Kamm residence
was. -
"He lives out on Post street on the
left-hand eide, not far from the
municipal carbarns,' said George Put
nam. The corner grocer put us on the
right track.
"The Kamms live in that double
house half way up the hill," he said.
"Just climb the steps and ring the
bell at the door to the west."
Mrs. Kamm, mother of the ball
player, answered the bell.
Head tied up and working clothes
on, she admitted that she was the
mother of Willie Kamm, but re
marked in the same breath that he
had left for downtown, and that she
waa busy getting ready for the Mon
day wash.
Mother Not Surprised.
Persistency, however, won a few
words from her.
Sha didn't seem particularly sur
prised that her 22-year-old boy had
been sold for such an Immense sum.
"Is that so?" she queried in mild
surprise. "Does he have to leave
right away?"
Willie, from Her story, has always
enjoyed baseball. He took to the
game when he was a grammar-school
youngster, kept it up as a high-school
lad and, later in the section in which
he resides, organized his own baseball
team.
He has never played ball other than
with the San Francisco club, so far as
the professional article is concerned
but such judges as Ty Cobb, Roger
Hornsby and George Sisler, who saw
him In action in the Winter league,
think he is the best fielding third
base product they have ever seen. He

is a fairly good hitter and bound to
improve in that branch of the game.
Kamm himself is he most modest
chap imaginable, and one of the most
popular ball players in the league.
He wasn't to be found all day Mon
day., . . .
Do you know why?
Because he didn't like to be pointed
out as the- ball player who had been
sold for $100,000, and ducked out of
sight. He got into a machine with
a boy chum and they stayed hid.
One of the sporting reporters who
went to the Kamm home to get some
news and was disappointed, . tried to
impress it upon Mrs. Kamm that she
should.be sure to have Willie ring
the office, even if he returned home
as late, as midnight.
"My goodness!" . said , Mrs, Kamm.
"My Willie never is later than , 10
o'clock of a night getting in."
(Kamm did not cost the Seals, a sin
gle penny. . ,
- ' Sacramento Releases Boy. :
He learned much of his baseball on
the Golden Gate park diamonds. Bill
Rodgers, then manager of the Sacra
mento club, picked up Kamm In 1918.
but soon released the boy, who was
only 18 years of age! He was of
slight build and such a kid in ap
pearance that he did not sell him-,
self.
That winter" Kamm played in . the
Shipbuilders' league. One Sunday Dr.
Charles H. Strub watched that kid
give a most remarkable exhibition
around third base. ' 7 y
Right after- the game Dr. Strub
signed Kamm to a contract and Willie
reported for spring practice at San
Jose. - . 1
Strub "and Putnam have been con
gratulating each ther.
It was "Putty," you know, who dis
covered Jim O'Connell, sold to the
New York Giants for $75,000 last fall,
and it was Dr. Strub who put across
the sale. - '
This time conditions were reversed.
Telephone Bill $520. '
It . was Dr. Strub who discovered
Kamm and George Putnam who
closed the deal with Danny Long,
scout for the Chicago White Sox.
Incidentally, some $520 was spent
in long-distance- telephone messages
before the papers were signed. When
Danny Long offered $100,000 and two
players for Kamm, Dr. Strub said he
didn't doubt Danny, but suggested
that in a deal of such magnitude' he
would like to have direct word from
Owner Comiskey authorizing Long to
proceed as agent of the Chicago club.
A long-distance connection was
established and the boys talked $520
worth before they were finished. But
what is that sum as compared with
$100,900? ,
Willie has already been insured by
the Chicago club for $100,000. De
spite the fact that the player is to
continue with the Seals for the i
mainder of the season, he belongs to
Chicago, and the White Sox owner
wants to protect his... own interests.
It has been stipulated in the Kamm
SCHOOL EASTERN OREGON
case, as was done with O'Connell, that
the purchasing club mbst sign tha
player.
Naturally. Kamm is going to expect
a fairish sort of salary if he is worth
that much cold cash, but the Chicago
club will have to do its own dicker,

CAPTAIN AliCOCK IS VICTOR
Suburban Handicap Won in Spite
of Heavy Track Conditions.
NEW YORK, June 3 Captain Al-
cock. the 5-year-old horse, by Ogden
Mallard, taking kindly to heavy track
conditions, today carried the Quincy
stable's colors to victory in the his
toric Suburban handicap at Belmont
park. Captain Alcock, easily best of
one of the. smallest fields that ever
faced the barrier in the Suburban,
negotiated the mile and a quarter in
the fast time of 2:05 2-5 and won by
a length and a half from Max Hirsch's
Flying Cloud.
Mad Hatter was third, three lengths
back. The event had a value of
$8200 to the winner.
15,000 TO ENTER GAMES
GERMAN OLYMPIAD AROUSES
AVIDESPREAD INTEREST.
In
Addition to Usual 'Track and
Field Events Many Other Con-
tests Will Be Held.
BERLIN, Julie 3. Fifteen thousand
men and women are expected to com
pete in the German Olympic and aux
liary games to be held from June 24
to July 2. Many of the entries are
from Austria, Roumania, Czecho-Slo-vakfa,
Switzerland, Spain, Poland,
Upper Silesia and Danzig. Austria
alone is sending 400 cdntestants.
While the Olympics themselves are
confined to the usual track and field
events and other features on the pro
gramme of the world Olympics, addi
tional events have been arranged for
this year, hence the addition "aux
iliary games" to the title.
The gymnasts comprise the largest
section of the prospective contestants,
the entries numbering 2024, of whom
462 are women. The pentathlon will
be contested by 1275, while 1180. In
cluding 80 women, are entered in the
lightweight field events. The mara
thon is expected to bring out 500 run
ners. Four hundred will ride inthe
bicycle racing events, and of these
entries 212 are listed for the race
from Hamburg to Berlin.
The wrestling and boxing events
have attracted the surprisingly high
total of 975 entries, due largely to the
recently Increasing popularity of the
latter sport on the continent. The
lower number of 300 for the swim
ming events Is somewhat disappoint
ing and is inexplicable in sporting cir
cles. Fifty two of these entries are
women. ;
Arleta to ,Play White Salmon.
WHITE SALMON, Wash., June 3.
(Special.) The Arleta Athletic club
of Portland will play White Salmon
on the local diamond Sunday after-
I noon. .
TRACK CHAMPIONS.
Either Fight Between Morrow and
Gorman Or Morrow and Sacco
Would Draw Good Crowd.
Two more boxing shows and then
the Portland boxing commission, with
Harry Hansen, its matchmaker, will
take a well-earned vacation. The next
show is set for June 15 and the final
offering of the season probably will
take place June 29.
It is the intention of Matchmaker
Hansen to arrange strong cards for
the final shows. While he hasn't
signed anyone for the June 15 show,
he will have little trouble in making
the event an all-star card, for plenty
of good material is available, just now.
The boys must eat. .
Two matches which look, mighty
sweet to Hansen . are a .return go
between Joe Gorman and Lakey Mor
row or a meeting between Jimmy
Sacco. the Boston flash, and Morrow.
Either would make a high-class main
event. Gorman and Morrow recently
put on a sensational ten-round go,
with Morrow taking the decision. The
fans have been clamoring for a return
go ever since.
Mike Gibbons Coming, Maybe.
Going out of the lightweight class
there are Battling Ortega, Joe Eagan
and Jimmy Clabby, while Mike Gib
bons also is said to be headed this
way. Eagan was matched with Or
tega once before, but the Battler
developed a bad case of charley horse
and couldn't go on. Eagan figures
that, now that Ortega is back in
shape, he should get a crack at him.
Clabby, after nine years in Australia,
is back in this country again. He
will make his first start against
Eagan June 9 at Vancouver, B. C.
Hansen Might Wait.
The winner of this fight would be
the logical opponent for Battling Or
tega or Gibbons, provided the latter
gets this far west. It might be wise
for Matchmaker Hansen to wait until
after the Eagan-Clabby fight before
signing hfs main event for the next
show.
Joe Gorman has returned from his
home in Grants Pass and will train
here for a few days for a six-riund
tilt with Jimmy Sacco at Aberdeen
June 12. The weight for this bout has
been set at 133 pounds. Following the
bout with Sacco, Gorman and his
manager, Bobby Evans, expect to go
to New York, where Tex Rickard is
putting on a featherweight elimina
tion tournament.
Bobby Harper is no longer a light
weight. , The Seattle boxer, who has
been malfing his headquarters in Port
land for more than a year, meets
Travie Davis in the star go of a show
by Dan Salt in Seattle June 6. Davis
is the recognized Pacific coast wel
terweight champion, and Harper for
the first time in months will stack up
against an -opponent of his own
weight. ,
JAPANESE POOR GOLFERS
Small Wrists Said to Make Game
Tough for Orientals. 1
NEW YORK, June 3. Although
they are adepts at tennis, Japanese
are not successful at golf, due to th
smallness of their wrists, which na
tional . physical characteristics, ac
cording to Hajime Kamasaki,. Japan,
ese amateur champion, handicaps the
Nipponese in getting distance with
their shots and making recoveries
from difficult lies.
The wrist and forearm must be of
unusual strength and be "quick
muscled" if a tennis player is to re
turn the volleys of such hard-hitting
players as William T. Tilden II ana
William M. Johnston, who defeated
the Japanese challengers in the finals
of the Davis cup matches last year,
and the saffron-skinned stars demon,
strated that they had such power.
In tennis, however, the entire body
counts, and a narrow wrist supple
menting speedy footwork counts more
than in the comparatively leisurely
game of golf..
Kamasaki came here with a com
panion, Ichjya Taguchi, but will not
remain for the United States ama
teur championship at Brookline in
September.
English Boxing, as Rule,
Below American Standard.
Lewis, DrlHCoIl and McGovern
lOx haunt Lint of Really Good
. British Fighters.
BY ROBERT BDGREN.
THE QUICK and easy victory of
Georges , Carpentier over Ted
(Kid) Lewis was, predicted in this
column. Nearly two years ago I saw
Lewis beaten easily by O'Dowd who
couldn't have laid a glove on the
awift English boxer when Lewis was
good and knew ' that Lewis was
through. The fact that Lewis recent
ly has been knocking out a lot of
opponents in England and was re
garded there as a marvel in his class
signified nothing. -
For some reason or other English
bcxing and English boxers are, as a
rule, tar below American standards.
There have been a few exceptions,
or course. Ted Lewis was a real
champion a few years ago. He started
his career in England, but was. de
veloped in Australian and American
rings. Jem Dnscoll was as great a
featherweight as any I've seen with
one exception the incomparable Ter
ry . McGovern. " Drlscoll -was better
than Abe Attell. He always fought;
Attell usually stalled.
That ends the list. Not another
really good fighter has come out of
England in the last 25 years. Pedlar
Falmer was a hero at home and a
joke when he met McGovern. Jabez
White was knocked out by Jimmy
Britt in California. Jack Palmer came
over and was licked by old Jack
Twin Sullivan. Clever Bombardier
Wells was knocked out by Al Palzer.
Several years ago England devel
oped Iron Hague, a - well built big
man who looked like another Jef
fcries until Sam Langford went over
and easily knocked him out.
Gunner Moir. a muscle - bound
wrestler, was English heavyweight
champion and regarded as a world
beater. Little Tommy Burns went
across and knocked Moir for a goal
without any trouble at all.
Carpentier took all the fight out of
Eomby Wells with two knockouts
the second delivered with the first
brace of blows struck in the first
round. Wells was a splendidly built
fellow and a masterly boxer, but

lacked steadiness under
fire and
couldn't take a punch.
Later came Beckett, winning a few
local fights and becoming an idol of
the English people, who in their en
thusiasm believed he was a world
beater; Carpentier knocked him cold
in a round. There was also, just be
fore Beckett's time, one "Young
Ahearn," an English boxer who
learned the game.in American rings,
and was regarded here as a fairly
clever fighter and a good ssecojid
rater, and went home to jtengland.j
There he quickly became a hro.
Ahearn was a jumping jack in the
ring and seemed to be doing some
thing marvelous every moment. They
called him "John Bull's Boy, ana
his backers challenged the world in
his behalf.
Young Ahearn took it seriously.
He thought he could trim Jess Wil
lard, but he had one small task to
attend to first a score to settle with
Mike Gibbons, middleweight of St.
Paul. Mike had once knocked him
out in four rounds. So he returned
to the United States to flatten Mike
and then go after the heavyweight
championship. He met Mike.
This time Mike was in a hurry.
Ahearn jigged a couple of steps and
feinted once, following with a swift
jab. And Mike stepped in and knocked
him senseless with a single sock.
Kext year Tom Andrews dropped
Ahearn's name from the record books
and he hasn't been heard" of since.
English fighters in smaller classes
haven't been much luckier. Middle
weight champion Harrison visited
America and was knocked out in a
round by Eddie McGoorty. Johnny
Summers and Owen Moran, cons'd-
ered invincible in England, did some
good fighting in America, but never
reached the championship class.
Pat O'Keefe came from England to
New York heralded as a pretty good
fiehter. His first bout was w'th
Willie Lewis, who knocked him cold
with the first blow struck. O'Keefe
returned to England and was mid
dleweight champion there for years.
Probably Carpentier will be, re
garded as having at least an even
chance with Dempsey because of his
quick and easy win over Lewis. Some
wise owl will discover tnat carpen
tier was severely handicapped by
having to use pillows instead of
gloves atj Jersey City, although Demp
sey used them, too.
Also it will be claimed that Car
pentier is now several pounds heav
ier, much more experienced, faster,
more clever, hitting harder and much
more cheerful and confident than Be
fore he fought Dempsey last year,
On the score of Carnentier's improve
ment and the four-ounce gloves used
in England and the effect of a punch i S
like Carpentier's delivered with as
Tour -ounce glove Carpentier will I
be figured about an even match for
Jack. That is, in iungiana. in Amer
ica we know that a great little man
has a very skimpy chance of winning
when pitted against a man fully his
equal in speed, skill and determina
tion, and 15 pounds heavier. Where
other things are equal, weight and
strength .will win. Only one of the
rare accidents of the ring, a single
punch that takes away the bigger
man's advantage, can change the rule.

welterweight bout with welter cham
pion Britton at the beginning of June
shows that Leonard is at last going
after the title in a heavier class. It
the bout is to be held in New Jersey
it will be 12 rounds without a deci
sion. If in New York it will be' 15
rounds with a decision a real cham
pionship affair.
Jack Britton has held the welter
title a long time, and has shown no
sign of losing his cunning. Britton
started when Packey McFarland,
Leach Cross, Tommy Murphy and that
)ld . bunch were becoming known,
and he outlasted the lot. i Leonard
naturally; is growing a little, and it
may be hard for him to hang onto
the lightweight title and make the
lightweight limit much longer. He
could do nicely with the welter cham
pionship. That's Leonard's end of the argu
ment.
Britton's is that he has exhausted
the list of welter rivals, and that as
Leonard is a welterweight, except
when he starves himself, and a very
popular boxer, Leonard is welcome to
anything he can get. Britton is one
of the most confident fighters in the
world. He doesn't think Benny Leon
ard will crive him a rouzh minute.
and as for boxing skill, he's willing
to match his own against Leonard's
any time.
The weight is said to be 147 pounds,
but how the million plunks taken in
at the gate is to be split no one
knows except the managers, and they
won't tell.

Sport News and Comment
Because he got a decision over Tunnoy,
Harry Greb now wants to fight Georges
Carpentier or Jack Dempsey and otherwise
lush in. To talk of putting Greb in the
ring against Dempsey is unadulterated
silliness. The chances are a last year's
straw hat against the bejewelled crown
ol the King of England that Georges Car
ptntier likewise would have little trouble
disposing of Greb. While he has had many
fights, it cannot be said that his record is
imposing. In knockouts his list is
tremely slim. The late Stanley Ketchell
probably would have been willing to meet
Greb witn one band tied befilnd nis back
There is no reason whv Georges Car
pentier, holder of the light heavyweight
trtle of the world, should not come to this
country to defend his title. While,
doubt, he could assume the attitude that

MEXICO LIKES BASEBALL-
Texas Clubs Invading Country
Find Game Popular. .
Teams of baseball players which
recently invaded Mexico City froru
Texas for a series of exhibition games
in connection with the Mexican cen
tennial celebration found the Ameri
can national pastime there, even
though with a Mexican accent. Soma
of the players expected to find a city
unaccustomed to baseball and a pub
lic attending the games merely out
of curiosity to see the sport that eets
all the United States on Its ears for
so many months each. year.
Instead they found a city with at
least ten first-class diamonds, two
full-fledged leagues and a number of
Independent clubs all of them Mex
ican or Spanish. They met critical
rooters who were not loath to tell the
umpire that his eyesight was lost or
to "pan" a runner for making a poor
slide to third.
Baseball is a popular sport in Mex
ico and has been for many years. In
troduced by Americans, it-was readily
taken up by the Mexicans, and for
some time a city league has been
maintained there which each year
meets the. champion of a league com
prised of outlying cities such as Vera
Cruz, Puebla and Monterey.
Newspaper sport pages each Mon
day give the standing of the various
clubs.
