From that date on he has developed into a great fighting ma chine. The Western Athletic club, which is promoting this event, which promises to be the greatest fistic smoker ever staged in Portland, has gone to con siderable expense in getting Gibbons to appear here. The bout will be sup ported by several other bouts. Muff Bronson, the northwest lightweight champion, appearing in the semi-wind-up against some crack local or north west boy, probably Peter Mitchie.

During the past threje months he has made a repu tation for himself by winning from Valley Trambitas, Dick Wells, Farmer Burns and the much-touted Idaho wild cat. Billy George. Sornmers took George's measure in two bouts, win ning a 6-rounddecision here and a ten round decision at Bend, Or, While Gibbons is without a doubt Sornmers' master as a. boxer, there :s always that one chance of a haymaker being slipped over and the fans are all pulling for Al. Sornmers has been training several days and will continue his workouts until the day before the bout. In view of3 the fact that a record breaking crowd is expected, the Weal em clirb officials will place the seats on sale during this week-end, which will give the fans an opportunity of getting their seats early.

Owing to the late'spring, the cruis ing committee decided not to recom mend the first cruise until the early part of June. An invitation has been receivd from Butteville. Or., and will be acted on by the trustoes at their meeting next Wednesday. Commodore Boost will put the cruiser Artisan in shape for the sal mon fishing in the next few days. The commodore usually spends a week or two near Oregon City, making his headquarters at Magoon's, where "open house" is kept Tor the club fishermen. The regatta committee announces the first regatta of the season for Sunday, May 13. at 2 p. m. Cruiser and sPeed-boat events are slated, with two classes for the runabouts and a "backing up" race. The entertainment committee will hold a dance social Saturday evening, the night before, and a royal good time Is guaranteed. A meeting will be held vthis after noon by the house and grounds com mute for a re-arrangement of the boathouses, made necessary by the ad ditional space now available since the removal of the Bundy baths. This has become almost imperative, owin.4 to the increase in the number of boat houses along the row. COUNTRY UB MEN Secretary Ray C. Winters of the Salmon club of Oregon yesterday an nounced the prize list and conditions of awards for the 191? fishing season In the Willamette river and coast streams. Thirty-nine prizes, ranging from hooks, sinkers and lines to silver trophies, have been donated by various dealers throughout the state, and local sportsmen. In making up the prle list this year, the club directors have set aside two prizes for the first two button fish caught by women members of the club. A new rule has been adopted by the club, which prevents any mem ber from selling his fish. The rule is: "No person is eligible for member ship in the Salmon club of Oregon, who sells his fish. Any member violat ing this rule will be expelled from the club upon satisfactory evidence being placed before th board of directors. The prize list: Willamette Hirer, 1. Salmon club of Oregon.

The Prairie club of Chicago, a Sunday walking organiza tion, was so deeply touched at the amount of space given it in tbe sport pages that the directors, in order to show their appreciation, formally tendered an invitation to (he sport editors to attend the club's 20-mile walks whenever possible. In a bygone day when the knights did play And the Falstaffs quaffed tbe bowl, They had no time for that shriveled lime He with the ace in the hole. On the village green they'd split him clean. And ring for the sexton's spade. The guy with the ace was quite out of place. In the day when they pulled a blade. How the breed has grown from the seeds fhen sown! You'd best keep a sharp lookout, For you know not when in the guise of men The "ace" boys lurk about. JUNIOR PLAY SCHEDULED Bound Kobln Inter-Club Zrents fo Smaller CHubs Are Planned by tartt Tennis Association. Successful batting is nothing more than bravery. That Is the philosophy of Captain Bill Rodgers of the Portland Beavers. Bill points out Buddy Ryan as a fine example of what bravery may do to a ballplayer. Before 1911. Buddy was a dodger; in other words, he put one foot Into the ojd water- bucket on curve balls that were close. Since Buddy changed his style from pulling toward the bench to ducking back toward the umpire, he broke into .300 society. Also, if the ball does happen to hit him, it is on a fleshy spot and does not hurt so much. Since the pitchers have learned that Buddy will take the close ones instead of pulling away from the plate, they have to be mighty careful about pitching to him. Bravery in standing up at the plate, therefore, appears tohave some stand ing in the baseball community. Rodg ers figures that it Isn't a poor swing or bad eyesight that handicaps a bat ter so much as his lack of nerve in facing so-called "beanball" pitchers. He believes that a poor batter with plenty of nerve can be made Into a 300 hitter with a few little tips about And then Charles Adrian continued: "The next time we meet Him we'll have to put the work- on him. He hit the fast one Thursday but after this we'll see how he acts under the inflcence of the curve." And it may be remarked here and now, that C. A, has one of the juciest curves in the Coast league. Beware. Mister Lieake, of Rocky Mount, Vir gin yah. Brave cowboys: Jess Willard and MayorThompsoo. What aiightmare J. Cal Ewlng-must be having these days. When J. Cal was in the east last year he told the reporters that Eouls Guisto was not a big league ball player and never would be one. The first blow Cal re ceived came when Jimmy Dunn, owner of the Cleveland club, sold the vet eran Chick Gondii to the White Dunn, owner of the Cleveland club, sold the veteran Chick Gandil. to ' the White Sox with a statement that Guisto had proved to him that he was as good a ball player now as Chick was when in his prime.

BROOKLYN BOSS AGAINST EARLY MAJOR OPENING Wintry Weather and National Pastime Don't Mix, Says Charley Ebbets, May IS has been set as the date of the third and deciding match be tween the golf teams representing the Portland Golf club and the Eugene Country club. This match will be played over the course of the Eugene club and the winner will become the holder of the trophy put up by the local organization. Chairman Fawcett of the Portland club announced that between 12 and 15 players would make the trip to Eugene this year. The Portland play ers won last year's match by a margin of several strokes and with Wilhelm, Howell Jones, J. R. Straight and Wil liam Gotelli playing in great form this season the local club has a good chance of winning the cup. The Eugene Country club will send a team to Portland during summer and will also be represented in the northwest championship tourney to be played over the course of the Waverley Country club during the last week in June. Play in the Heitkemper century trophy tournament, which started yes terday, will be continued over the links of the Portland club today. The second of the series of mdtithly cocktail competitions will be played over the course of the Portland club next Sunday. of match play might as well be run!

Charley Ebbets has been pictured as a magnate with a taking way at the box office by a good many scribes, and, though he has a failing for the coin of the realm, he is no more susceptible to the music of the turnstile than the average man who runs a ball club.

Before Kid Williams won the title from Johnny Coulon .there were few topnotch bantams In the business Now there are plenty of good boys who can do the banty limit."" Ertle has notified Pete Herman, New Orleans claimant of the title, that he wants to fight it out In a bout over the 20-round distance. And this ought to be some bout. Like Ertle, little Pete Herman is a sturdy. lad. who can hit and Who can handle himself well In the ring. But besides Herman, Ertle can find plenty of opposition to his title claims. Kid Wrilliams is still insistent that he has the best right to the title. and Frankie Burns, the veteran from Jersey City, has recently discovered that he has a knockout punch. Then there are Dutch Brandt. Jack Sharkey, 3opy Lynch, Joe Burman and a raft of others who want a chance. Or.: one marble huntlne knife 18. Shakespeare Co..

All of which reminds us that in t Irene war times the man who makes a homer may not get the gratuitous coin shower of ante-bellum days. In the past the man who made a homer and won the ball game in Portland, was liberally rewarded. Perhaps the greatest bunch of coin collected was along about 190S, when the late Ote Johnson hit a ball over the fence In the ninth inning off Elmer Koestner of Los Angeles and drove in three runs, which won the game.

In the first place, cold weather and baseball don't mix from a sporting standpoint. In the second place, the magnate must count on a certain in come average per day to get by. He Isn't making fans out of the populace when he opens his gates to Winter weather, and he isn't breaking even on his investment, either. So no one can blame him for emitting a howl now ana tnen, and, as Ebbets . contends, baseball in Indian Summer Is far bet ter than baseball in a raw, unfriendly spring, when a magnate is gambling every time he opens his park.
