XLI PORTLAND, OREGON, SUNDAY MORNING. ; JLtLY ; ?3, 1922 NO. 30 VANCOUVER IS I fit ii Portland Loses Senior Four'. Racej-Course Choppy. VICTORS KEEP $5000 CUP Eenior Doubles, Won by Oarsmen of Local Club, Is 'Spectac ular Race of Day . By winning the final and big race of the regatta, the senior fours, in a I close finish with the Portland crew. Vancouver yesterday took first place In the two-day regatta of the North Pacific Association of Amateur oarsmen. The senior four race, the culmina ting event of the regatta, was a worthy ending to the two days of racing. The Vancouver crew of vet erans, pulling staunchly down course made choppy by a rising wind, crossed the finish line 10 sec onds ahead of the Portland shell. In third place, three lengths behind, came tne Vancouver No. 2 four, win ner of Friday's junior four race. The I eenior four of the James Bay club or victoria finished last. The Portland four rowed the final quarter mile In a despairing effort to spurt Into the lead, but Vancou ver was too powerful. Hitting up a 82 stroke the Vancouver oarsmen swept across the finish line two hell lengths ahead. Senior Doubles Spectacular. The spectacular race of the day was the senior doubles, won by Port land. Jack McDonald and Fred New- ell, the Portland oarsmen, led all the way, but were closely pressed by the Victoria No. 2 crew. At the finish the Victoria shell was over- I hauling the Portland craft, but started its spurt a little too late and Portland won by a quarter boat length. i Taking the lead at the start and Increasing it as they rowed down T. course the Vancouver 140-pound crew hit the finish line just one length ahead of the Portland scull ers. The Victoria 140-pound crew I cid not enter this race but rowed In the senior four instead. Vancouver was leading only a quarter boat length at the mile and at the mile and a quarter Portland had nearly caught up. Here, how ever, the Vancouver scullers, pulling a steady 3U-Deat, took a boat-length lead and kept It to the finish. G. Klngsley, Victoria's star scull er, took the lead at the half mile in the senior singles and held it until he crossed the line at the fin ish, with William Gregory of Port- lana, junior singles winner in Fri day's race, only one boat length be hind him. Lewis Mills, Portland's regular' senior entry, finished about 1 four boat lengths In the rear. . .. Gregory's Spurt Wonderful. Gregory made a wonderful spurt In the last quarter mile and dimin ished the three boat lengths' lead of the Victoria man until It was only one boat length at the finish. While Klngsley was weakening the Portland man seemed to grow stronger. His spurt at the finish came just a little too late. In the senior doubles the James Bay No. 1 team was swamped at the mile and failed to finish. Although containing Us star oarsman. Kings- ley, who had won the singles race earlier In the afternoon, this crew was far behind when It swamped. Klngsley evidently had rowed his race before and could not get any i steam to his pulling in the doubles sneii. , "Although, Vancouver at the open ing of yesterday's regatta had a five-point lead over Portland, that soon dwindled and just before the linal race, by the senior four-oared crews, the score stood tied with 13 points for Portland and Vancouver. Victoria, winner of last year's grand aggregate trophy, had no chance with only seven points. Vancouver Retains Cup. The Vancouver No. 1 crew, winner of this senior four race, made a fine start and taking the course in the middle of the river, rowed a steady 32-beat pace. Portland gained "on the visitors and at the half mile the Vancouver No. 1 crew, composed of G. F. MacKay, stroke; O. F. Mc intosh, No. 3; S. F. C. Sweeny, No. 2, and W. Wood, bow, had only a scant quarter-boat length advantage. The Vancouver No. 2 boat, junior winner Friday, and the Victoria crew had fallen back and were fighting for third place. The Portland four, composed of E. A. Stevens, stroke; Sam Briggs, No. 3; Ted Holmes,. No. 2, and Tony Brandenthaler, bow, Aid everything in its power to overtake the visitors, but couldn't overcome the Vancou ver lead. Thev-rowed a 31 beat to Vancouver's 32. The J500-0 Buchanan cup, the trophy for this race, will be retained u anomer year. Van couver won it from Portland In last year's regatta. Victoria Im Handicapped. Although Victoria's showing was not up to standard, that was ac counted for by the fact that it did not have its' regular crew in the senior fours and no entry in the 140 pound fours. It also was poorly represented in the junior races. Ac cording to one of the .Victoria's delegates, the expense of bringing full crews for all events from Vic toria to Portland was more than the club could afford. The winning 140-pound Vancouver team was composed of G. R. Nelson, strike; D. Flnlayson, No. 3; Allen fellows, jno. z, and r Francis, bow. The visiting oarsmen were guests of the Portland Rowing club at a dinner last -night in the green room of the Chamber of Commerce. Com modore Judge presented trophies to the winners.

DEMPSEY PLANS BUSY YEAR FQR HEAVYWEIGHT CLEAN-UP Champion Handicapped by Lack of Opponents Unless Some New ' Rival Pops Up From Among Unknown Sluggers. BY ROBERT EDGREN. JACK DEMPSEY will have a busy year. Manager Kearns says . that in the next 12 months the champidn will fight as often as pos sible. He la handicapped by-a lack of opponents, and if he cleans up the present list there'll be no more heavyweights to give him a battle unless some new giant pops up from among the unknowns.- There was one fellow who might have been good enough to go after the championship In another year or two, Ralph Smith, a hard-hitting amateur, as tall as Willard and of a leaner and faster build. But Smith Is just out of the hos pital after being laid up four months as the result of a crash be tween a fire truck and an electric train. It is unlikely he will ever fight again. No other newcomer ln the heavy weight ranks looks anything like a champion. . ' Dempsey's prospective matches are with Jack Brennan, Jess Wil lard, Georges Carpentier and Harry OF SOME OF THE ROWING CREWS THAT COMPETED IN YESTERDAY'S REGATTA ON THE Wills. ' Also Harry Greb Is a pos sibility in a short bout. ' fi : Brennan is' to get a third chance. In- their first bout, before Dempsey became champion, Dempsey knocked Brennan down with a right hand, hit on the chin, and in falling Brennan broke his ankle, which - naturally ended the fight. V. ; ' ' The second time B,rennan ' gave Dempsey a treal battle and a pretty good mauling until the champion tpok all the fight out of him with a1 heavy-body blow and beat him in the twelfth round. ' Brennan's friends assert that he had Dempsey Twinging, and made the mistake of not following up his temporary advantage. Brennan told me after the fight that he thought he had Dempsey beaten, and that if he ever got such an advantage again he'd know how to press it He is a big, strong fellow, and, although not nearly as aggressive as Dempsey, might have the luck to put over a haymaker. It would be a lot of luck, though. -. While Dempsey and Carpentier couldn't be matched again in this country, the two will draw well in England, and a match has been signed up for sometime before next J June. - - ' .- . ' Carpentier is a splendid boxer &nd heady fighter with a corking punci. He might beat a lot of men bigger than Dempsey, but it's very unlikely.- that he'll : ever . beat Jack. Dempsey has too much speed to" be beaten by a man 10 or 15 pounds lighter. He hits too hard for Car pentier." or any other man of .his weight. Using four-ounce - gloves might i help Carpentier but Demp sey -would, have them, too. Dempsey .is no giant. He's a light man. among heavyweight ehampions. When: he knocked out Willard. at Toledo he weighed only 183 pounds. But he has a Fitzsimmons build light legs and small' waist, with; heavy and powerful backhand shoul ders and arms, . .;, The facts about Willard are Just these: - ' . : . , . - Nobody -but Dempsey, or perhaps Wills? would give him any trouble. He was a great fighter when he whipped .Johnosn a. superman in strength and perfect in condition, a first-class boxer with a cool, de liberate mind and the ability to out wait, outlast and outpunch the black champion. Willard, however, is usually ex tremely lazy and placidly over-confident because of his bulk and strength. It took a Johnson fight to make him train. Usually he shirked hard training and went into the ring too soft. i Besides being lazy In training, he Is too good natured to fight hard ex cept when he is stung. .

THE days of western athletic dependence- on eastern coaches and coaching methods are gone. The wheel even is turning slightly the other- way. No more signifi cant sign . of . the new respect In which the east holds western ath letics ever happened" than the sign ing by . Yale university- of Ed Leader, rowing coach, at the Uni versity of Washington, as ' head coach of rowing at Yale. "It was an asiounding and revolu tionary thing for Yale to do Yale, which, has clung so tenaciously to the'; graduate : coaching system. Tbink of it Yale, where collegisie rowing in, America ; virtually orig inated;1. Yale, with generations of varsity oarsmen in her alumni- and with long-established rowing tra dition actually turning- to the far west and beckoning to her as head ccach a young man from the raw frontier! It would hardly be more surprising- were - Waller Camp to' request some stripling to pick his all-American football-team for him hereafter on the grosnd ' that - he, the great Camp, telt humble and incompetent and unable longeto do his favorite topic justice. - 4 ..''' Leader will not be entirely with out company as a far-western coach in - eastern - varsity, circles, though he will be the first and only westerner ever called east, to as sist in rowing. We can think of at least .a , couple of other far westerners now- coaching in the east and cutting quite a swath. Their names? Oh, merely Gil Dobie and Hugo Bezdek. -True, neither of them is as ex clusively a far-western product as Leader, who, by the. way, is a Port land boy, and with 'his brother Elmer attended . Washington high school here and then went to the Univer sity of Washington, attracted by the football', fame of Dobie. The Pacific coast nevertheless is en titled to claim both Dobie and Bez dek ag far-western products. For, though Dobie came to Washington WILLAMETTE. DEPENDING COACHES GONE In 1908 from the mid-west and Bez dek to Oregon from Chicago tn 1906, it was here that both made their reputations and developed the coach ing system bo peculiarly their own. As to the Leader boys, they were among the best football players Dobie had.; in the nine successive years at Washington that he won the Pacific coast " championship. Elmer went in for rowing as well as football.. He learned under Hiram Connibear, who was remarkable as a rowing coach in that he never rowed himself. He was an athletic trainer by profession, was Conny, once having been trainer for the White Sox, but a very adaptable fellow. We don't recall ever having heard how he came to be made rowing coach at- Washington, row ing then being an entirely new sport there. But when he got his chance he developed some very creditable crews, though most of them were crews more remarkable for sheer pulling ability than for form. -It !speaks greatly for the genius of Ed Leader that having learned under a man who was not in-any sense a teacher of rowing form, he nevertheless in his own crews has developed that form to a high de gree. There has been a tendencyby some eastern writers to intimate that the Washington crew was good more because of sheer bull strength than for knowledge of rowing and form. That doesn't agree with the account of the big Poughkeepsie race by Robert Harron, rowing ex pert himself, that appeared in the Boston Transcript after the race. Some of the excerpts from his ac count having to do with the Wash ington crew, vhich he evidently ad mired greatly, are so interesting in this connection that we quote from them: - v ' Of the early part of the race he said: ". . -. Washington, beauti fully together with a stroke that has had inches added to it since the arrival of the westerners here, was clumped with Columbia and Syra cuse." , : And a little later: ". : . at the mile . . .

BOXERS MEET THURSDAY Judge Holds Men Cannot Be Pre vented From Clashing on Mere Suspicion of Law Violation. JERSEY CITY, N. J., July 22. Supreme Court Justice Swayie today declined to issue warrants for Benny PBEVEKT BOUT Leonard, Lew Tendler and Tex Rick- . 7 . .. . . .-.IChanae Noted Not Onlv In Ipn. ara, leaaing iigures in me uuAtue , H,..,. oi.HoH,iiAri fn. "Rnvl p-h Thirty ' Acres next Thursday night. Herbert - C. Gibson, representing Jersey City ministers and the so ciety of New Jersey for the pre vention of crime and the promotion of morals, applied for the warrants on the ground that the contest would be a prize fight and violate the state law. In denying also an application to prevent the bout, the court held that it had not been shown that the principals had yet committed any violation of the law, and until they had the court could not act. In presenting his case against the lightweight championship bout, Mr. Gibson said: "It is to be a prize fight. The pic tures, tickets and advertisements establish this fact." - Law Declared Violated. The show Is to be promoted by George L. Rickard, who was con victed in the federal court. This fight is in direct violation of the laws of New Jersey, which forbid decisions. The only way a cham pionship may be won . is by a knock out. When Mr. Gibson sought to give the life history of Rickard, the court interrupted: "You had beter confine yourself to the complaint." "I want to show the character of the promoter," insisted the attor ney. . "However, I have here in my pocket an affidavit of a man who visited Leonard in his training camp. This man talked to Leon ard's trainer, who said the odds were 3 to 1 that Leonard would knock out Tendler. "Therefore, there is no sense in calling a bout in which there is to be a knockout a- boxing exhibition. I ask that these three men be placed under bail to keep the peace." Application Is Denied. In denying the application. Jus tice Swayse said "It would be foolish for me to pretend that the probabilities are not in favor of your proposition, that these men intend to violate the. law. I don't doubt that this Is their intention and that their prep arations have that end in view. - "But I part company with you un til some actual crime has been committed. An injunction cannot properly issue in this case. "These men may prepare up to the last minute. They may actually be in the ring and then might change their minds. There is no certainty that crime will be com mitted until it is actually com mitted. "I thought at one time these men might be held for conspiracy, but the difficulty with that is that, until they violate the law, I can not say whether the conspiracy would turn out to be legal or il legal. It doesn't make any differ-. ence how bad a man may be, un til he actually commits a crime, he cannot be arrested and held in bail. ' The grand Jury and the judge of this court differed a year ago on a similar case." IRVIXUTON BEATS WINGED M Tennis Players Win Ten-Man Team Match With Multnomah.

Cal., July 22. The highly bred saddle horse and driv ing horse is coming back into its own in that region of blue grass and fine horses Kentucky and Ten nessee. For some years now the style and beauty of dog's rival In man's af fections have not counted for much, so far as financial considerations are concerned. The horse has al most gone begging. But a turn in the road has ar rived, according to word brought to Sacramento by Sheriff Dean of Smith county. Tennessee, who was here to take charge of a prisoner. "The fine horse is coming back," he said. "Yes, sir, you couldn't give them away of late years. Not be cause man didn t think as much of good breeding and style in an ani mal, but because he didn't have the money to put into one. But things have been picking up recently. The other day a promi nent Kentucky man came down into our county and paid J800 for a two-year-old riding filly. Most any stylish saddle horse is now valued at close to that figure, and, despite the automobile, the good driving horse is bringing around $500." He said the singlefooter and the driving mare are only following in the wake of the speedy thorough bred. The trotting and pacing busi ness seems to be picking up back east, while the runners are setting things afire in the big racing cen ters. The revival seems to have been felt on the Pacific coast. The run ners have been finding the going easier, and even Tanforan is being rebuilt. The state fair harness meet for 1922 has an entry list of 168. the largest in some years, with a note worthy Increase In the number of entries for the green paces and green trots. This year's night horse show is expected to be larger than that of last year, Judging from the Inquiries. Seven nights of show. Instead of six larger premiums and additional classes are - proving the attractions. STANFORD SCHEDCIE READY Eleven to Play 8 Games, 7 at Palo Alto, 1 at Corvallis.

The expense of installing a drainage system for the track, which hereto fore has been partially under water during the winter months, is be lieved justifiable in view of the many important amateur track events which may be attracted to this city.
