Meeting of Northwest Association at Sjwkanej Waverley Club's Decision to Stage State Title h PTeang, By George Bertz DATES for the nineteenth annual championships of the Pacific Northwest Golf association, .to be staged over the course of the Spokane Golf club, will be set at a meeting- of the direct ors of the club next week. It is likely the tournament will be held during the week of June 23, two weeks following the Oregon state championships on the Waverley Country club course. The 1919 tournament of the Northwest association was award ed the Sljaughnessy Heights Golf club of Vancouver, but, in view of the fact that the new course of that club would not be ready for championship play this year, the event was waived in favor of Spokane. . -- . " There is every indication that golf will be very popular this -season, and it is expected that a large number of Californians will participate in this year's events. A plan for the reorganization of the Pacific Coast Golf associ ation probably will be discussed at, the annual meeting of the Northwest association officials. . Since the close of the war, rumors that the Pacific body- would be formed again have been flying thick and fast. Thecoast association was formed In 1900, but after a couple of . years it passed out of. existence be cause of the lack of support. Spokane golfers are very enthusi astic over the securing of the cham pionships and are preparing to make the tourney one of the biggest ever held in this section of the country. tVarerley Derision Welcomed The decision of the directors of the , Waverley Country club to stage the s 1919 Oregon state championships , was welcomed -by practically every . golf player of the city. Predictions are made that the tour ney will bring out a record number of entries. Practically all the prom inent players who joined the colors will be on hand and a large number of outsiders are expected. Attractive to Southerners The Oregon tourney has been an attractive one to California and Washington golfers and should the Seattle Country club decide to stage its annual tourney the week previ . ous to the Northwest meeting, a large number of Californians un doubtedly will come north and parti ' cipate in all three. - uuring the past few years some excellent golf has been played in the state championship and this . year ' should be no exception. Aside from the local stars, who have partici pated in the tourney, prominent out- or-town' players have been "Dixie" Fleager of Seattle, Jack Neville and A. H. Vincent of California. The city championship tourney will be staged on the course of the Portland Golf club, according to present plans. The handicap com- . i.iittee. which in headed by William J. Cole, will meet some time this week to map out plans for . the sea son and also to make recommen dations to the board of directors in regard to the city meeting. The Portland club season will open in March. A number of hand some trophies fqr various handicap events between men and women have been secured. Opening' Play In March W. E.

PORTLAND would-welcome the Pacific Northwest Lawn Tennis association championship tournament with open arms, according to one of the prominent men of the local tennis circles. The tourney, if held in Portland, will undoubtedly be staged in. conjunction with the Oregon State championships, which in all probability will be heid on the courts of the Multnomah club. The Northwest International events were staged in Portland in 1911 and Jt would not be surprising" if the Multno mah club put In a bid for the tourney, which has been on the shelf since the beginning. of the world war. May Rearrange Schedule Directors of the Pacific Northwest In ternational Lawn Tennis association wilT probably rearrange the schedule of tourneys adopted at the annual meeting in 1912, in which the tourneys were awarded to various clubs up to 1920. A meeting of the officials of the Port lands Lawn Tennis association will be held some time in March or April to determine the awards and dates of the local and state tourneys. The Laurelhurst club was awarded the 1918 tourney, but on account of its courts not being ready for play it was transferred to the Irvington club, and in view of this switch it is. likely that $40 $45 Up ' s & Go, Gasco Bid.

The former champion went to Chicago with her husband, who was attached to the naval dental corps there. Her play ing In the Western tourney created quite a surprise. She and her partner also won their way into the finals of the doubles. Smith Out of Service Ferd Smifh, one of the crack tennis players of the Multnomah Amateur Athletic club, has been mustered out of service and will grab his racket so that he can get a little practice as soon as weather conditions permit. Miss Irene Campbell, who originated the women's handicap championship tourney of the Multnomah Amateur Ath letic club, says she contemplates staging the third annual event. This tourney- Is being looked forward to by a large num ber of the women members of the club, and a bigger entry than ever before Is expected.

The bid was wired .-to Billy Gibson. Leonard's manager on the coast," but has brought no reply. It , likely will go unanswered in view of Leonard's recent statement that he will not en ter any decision contests for some time. 1 By accepting a match With White, the champion could enrich himself $1000 more, for White, - who open'y Y Aav, s 1 stadter, chairman, Fred de Neffc, Harold.

COLONY THURSDAY Pueblo Fireman Willv Take on ! Jimmy Darcy, Portland Middle weight, in Main Event Mexican Herma at Last in Good ' Shape to Tackle Sid Mitchell, Hardhitting Seattle Man. , . iyjEBLO JIM" FLYN&, the fighting fireman, who has ap peared in nearly every city, town, hamlet and watertank in ihese United States in his boxing career of 20 years, will make his debut before the Portland ring colony, when he feces the Roumanian middleweight, Jimmy Darcey, in the main event of the Heilig theatre, smoker next Thursday night. Flynn, in addition.to his ramifications, has met practically every heavyweight of renown in the past decade. He has taken part in. three championship tilts. He has shattered the pugiljstic ambi tions .of many a would-be champion. -Carl Morris and Jack Dempsey both met reverses at the end of his heavy fist, the latter, however, coming back and treating Flynn to a taste of the knock out drops. Though Flynn is a long ways fr6m being in his prime and now stands no chance against a mauler, like Dempsey, he should be capable of holding his own against such fighters as. Darcey, Kruvosky, Farmer and King. ' - . All that can be said of Darcey ln arranging the coming match is that It was a very foolish one for him to make, looking at it from almost any angle. . Even though he should be de clared winner, he will add no pres tige to his reputation . outside of. Portland, for in the east as well as in California, the veteran is consid ered a dead one. If he loses the ver dict the public will not take Into con sideration that he was outweighed some 25 or 30 pounds, will forget all , that he has done In the past, and look upon him more as a flash in the pan. Semt-Wlndop Lookg Good . There are other matches on the bill that are attracting as much at tention. The Sid Mitchell-Kid Her- man go, which holds down the seml windup .-position, is causing' any amount Of discussion, aa those who saw the San Jose Mexican In his bout with Johnny McCarthy realize that he was not In the best of trim for ' the rugged San Francisco motor man. - Thanks to Bobby Evans, his manager, who has installed Just about the' finest boxing academy in the west In this city, ail the boxers may have the! opportunity properly to condition themselves, and Herman has taken advantage of It. . Sid Mitchell, who meets the enchi lada, is one of Dan Salt's best bets in the pugilistic lines, and as Her man 13 a great card in the Sound city by virtue ' of his draw contest , with Johnny McCarthy, this Mitchell boy is out to win. With a slight . weight advantage in his favor the . fans who have seen the two In action predict that the Seattleite will carry off the bacon. Herman, how ever, thinks otherwise. As they will both be out to win, the fans should, benefit by thefr confidence, as a snappy go should result. Pete Meets Fast Boy . - Peter Mftchle, who has been win ning of late, has agreed to meet a tartar In that good little Canadian lightweight, Harry Anderson. Peter, . In meeting Anderson, will be facing a boy who is not all run down or one who is appearing away from home for the first time, and the Swede battler will be doing well if he manages to secure a draw. . These two boys will meet at 138 pounds. The other special event will be fur nished by those two ancient rivals, Lee Johnson, the "mahogany brother, and Muff Bronson. The rivalry between this pair Is always keen, as Muff, with the exception of the late Eddie Campi, Is the only boxer who has ever won the verdict in Portland over the crafty colored boy. Bron--son seems to have slipped a bit of late and Lee, as well as all of the other colored fosks, think- that hey can reverse the -decision. However," all those who have .watched Muff go . through, his training stunts at the new academy predict that Bronson will defeat Johnson more easily than he did at their last meeting. As they will weigh in at 135 pounds,' both will be practically even when it comes to the weight question. Cashlll to Face Morrow The curtain-raiser will, bring out Johnny CashlU, f ho . lost twice to Joe Gorman, and Lackey Morrow of Seattle. Morrow is said to be a very tough, game and willing boy, and is Mann Says Contract Offered Him Insult Chicago, Feb. 8. (I. N. S.) Leslie Mann, Cub star, , today is a holdout. He says he has been offered a contract with a salary that is an insult to his playing ability and declares there must be an increase or' he'll play no more major, league baseball. Mann asserted several other Cub players would be among the holdouts, If the salaries! Offered are hot increased. t Johnny 'Er tie Plans To Stage 'Comeback' La Salle. 111., Feb. 8.-MJ. N. S.)

Joe Oorman has won the hearts of the Sound city fans by his rugged style of milling. Oorman" lias won his last four starts - and f the . fans would no doubt flock to see the little Spanish battler in action with a boy they figured would have a chance of defeating 'htm. So much has been said during the- past year of the ability .of Jimmy Dundee that every boxing fan In the city would . like to y see the southern featherweight lock horns with the rough and ready Oorman. . Billy Kelson -Discharged Billy Nelson, the Spokane ' boy, who returned here from France the early f part of last week with '. an honorable discharge, " Is in training and will be ready to take .on any boy In the Northwest at the light weight limit. Nelson, previous to going overseas, won the" light weight championship of the Ninety first division while stationed at Camp Lewis. "As the boys" who went "over there" are receiving the benefits of the bouts staged In the city, whoever schedules the matches at the next show, will be making a mistake if he . overlooks the lanky Spokane kid. who Is quite capable of holding his own with thev Ingles, Trambltases. and Mltchles. Vi - : MsicotKGcttlng Into Snaps Billy Mascott, who has trained harder and more faithfully the past month than ever before during his boxing career, will make, his first appearance in a Seattle . ring, ac cording to Bobby Evans, who is laying out a busy schedule, for the South Portland Frenchman. . Ac cording to the dope. Billy will-not .likely appear here for quite some time as the matches in Seattle are of shorter duration and more ac ceptable. Mascott and Kvans can not be blamed for wanting to pick off a few . ot the boys over - the shorter -round game as a startcrr. As. It Js, I none -can ever accuse Mascott ox looking for soft ones, for, though Billy : hardly 'weighs lis, be has time , and again gone out and taken on featherweights,' not to mention Lee Johnson and Joe Benjamin, a brace of light weights, who" were "tackled at catchwelghts by the dlmlmitlve Frenchman. 1 , Zlmtnerma-sj Looming T'p .'
