IT' WAS a rattling good smoker--that at the Hctlig Wednesday
night Five events provided a scant audience with 3i rounds

of the gong in every fight there was not a moment's halt for either
boxer or spectator. Every boy on the card went 'out to win and

because they thought these lads would put up merely a sparring

the limelight in this world eeries, but
at last & swatting star Is showing the
big series fans that he's entitled to be
classed In the "first magnitude outfit"
in which , ho earned- a place in many
regular seasons. . '
' Joe Jackson of the" Whits Sox is the
big-' noise in the -4 to 1 controversy in
which Eddie Cicotte finally broke the
1919 world series ice for himself. He
is Uie one big slugger on either club
who is doing the . big sluj;tri(fg in this
series, v . -. v
The rival Eddies. Rousch and Collins
are hitting down near the .150 mark,
while Heinle Groh la doing even worse
and I lap Felsch hasn't reached .200.
' But Joe Jackson's ' swatting mark to
date is exactly .370 And his big bat
has been the chief factor in clouting out
the two victories that the Sox Von for
Picky Kerr and Eddie cfcott? In Cincinnati.
r Jackson f Irured In every orfie of the
White Sox talUc both Tuesday , and
Wednesday. He smashed a terrific
single that scored the first run off Slim
Bailee in the opening Inning Wednesday.
Was fight from round 1 to round
10, with honors so nearly even that
Referee Jack Day wisely refrained from
picking a winner. The only rounds in
which one seemed to have a shade over
the other were the third, sixth and
ninth, v Dundee dased Pelalnger with a
terrific hook in the third and sent him
to his corner a bit shaky. It looked
then like Harry would not weather the
storm. He came out fresh for the fourth
and kept matters even unUl the sixth,!
when he rocked Dundee from center to
circumference with a corking right to
the chin. Again In the ninth it appeared
that he had Dundee somewhat shaky. i
yLSlICGEB FORCES MILLING
Pelalnger -did all the forcing, but he
never led without getting a stinging
counter from Dundee. Dundee used a
stinging left hook that time and again
found Pelslnger's ribs or head with such
force that the crowd marveled at the
tatter's ability to stand the gaff so welt.
Both boys are clever with their feet and
hands, and hard hitters with either hatftl
from any angle. The bout was easily
worth the price of admission.
Danny O'Brien, veteran of mnv rlntr
encounters, attempted to stage a come
back against Stanley Willis.- O'Brien
came. back all right came back for a
clean collapse In the eighth. The pitcher
that went to the well, once too often had
. nothing on Danny. A short right to the
chin delivered just before a clinch put
to be helped up.
O'BRIEN JTOT IK SHAPE
O'Brien's old ' cleverness was in evi
dence ail through the fight up to the
sixth round, when he began to weaken.
UnUl that time. Willis had not reached
him. He had ducked and blocked and
side-stepped with uncanny skill, fre
quently rocking Willis head with short,
snappy hooks or lightning-like counters.
Willis has always shown much clever
ness against other - opponents. He was
just as clever Wednesday night,' but
O'Brien was so much the cleverer tKat
Willis at times seemed ' awkward. Danny
is getting bald and his physique looks
mighty frail, but It Is doubtful If there
is a boy .on the Coast of his weight who
can-, oiitpolnt or ven reach him ef
fectively. In four rounds. He is still a
master of the game, even if his vitality
has gone. .

The bout between Harry: Casey of
Seattle and George Wagner of Portland
was a bulldog affair. It shared honors
"with the Dudee-Pelstnger go. Wagner
put Casey down for the' count of nine
in the first round with an electrically,
bolted left cross to the chin. Casey was
completely out temporarily, and didn't
know whether he was In a ring "or being

"Shine-Ball?- Artist to Face Wil
tiams Moran's Men Crack
Under Strain. ;
By Jobsny Even
(Writteen (tor tha tTnitod Fran)
CHICAGO. Oct. . U. P.) The Reds
seem to have cracked under the
strain. The pitchers who baffled the
heavy hitters of the White Sox early In
the series have appeared as no putxle to
Chicago in their second start. But In
spite of the. reverses. I still look, for the
Reds to win the series.
Hod-'Eller is the pitcher whe must
stop the rush of Gleoson's men. '.The
big right hander must win the cham
ploDship for the Reds this afternoon, or
the hone of the Reds may be blasted
Friday In Cincinnati if it comes to a
"rubber; game" for the title. -WILLIAMS
TO FITCH .
Claude nffilliamfci no doubt, will be
Gleason's choice fori the eighth game.
He has been beaten twice by the Reds
and I look for him to lose again if Eller
can hold off the heavy hitters of the
Sox. , If his shine bait works like it did
in Chicago the White Sox can't beat
hm. No club can beat him when he is
in such form!. He is a big, strong boy
and should be able to come back with
a 'short rest. He has a lot of confidence
and he will be almost Invincible if the
Reds get a few runs for him early in
the game: Williams- is a dangerous
pitcher. Like Cicotte, who was beaten
twice and reversed the score in his
third start, the southpaw mary keep the
brakes on the : Red scoring machine.
The Reds went to pieces yesterday in
Cincinnati. Salle was ' so ineffective
from the very start that it was obvious
that, he wouldn't be able to last through
the game. He was- hit hard and was
far off the form that enabled him to win
the second game..
Cicotte vent through the game with
n6thing but a stout heart. He was not
up to his usual forta and was very tired
at the finish.
LOXG SERIES HOT 1IKE1
The poor attendance, to my way of
thinking, proves the public does hot like
the nine-game series. Nothing Is far
ther from the truth than the statements
going around that the Reds have lost
heart. Though they were facing almost
sure defeat yesterday, they kept plug
ging away and started one of their, fa
mous ninth-inning rallies with two men
down, which, however, failed to come
through! All during; the Beason -the
Moran club has shown its best in the
tightest places, as was proven during
that memorable series of three straight
double-headers with the Giants in New
York. I believe the same fighting spirit
will pull them through this tight place
and if Williams does defeat them this
afternoon,' I am confident that-the ninth
game in Cincinnati will crown the Reds
victors. -

rVO touchdowns and a goal kick were
scored by the Washington high
school football team against the Hill
Mil fury academy aggregation In the
annua! game on Multnomah field Wed
nesday. While the Colonials were re
cording their 12 points, the Cadets were
unable to dent the Washington goal
line. All the scoring came in the last
half.
When the squads trotted onto the field
at the start of the fracas the majority
of the fans were wondering how big the
score would be against Hill, but they
were doomed to disappointment. The
Cadets put up a wonderful brand of
fight during the first half, although they
were aided by continual costly fumbles
on the part of the Washington represen
tatives. Neither team was able to get very
close to the goal line In the first or sec
ond periods.
Sensational tackling by players on
both teams was a feature and the open
playing was such that the fans Were on
edge throughout Coach Leon Strong
had his WashingtOnians attempting for-
wrd passes three out of four plays on
several occasions and some of them were
successful. Both sides suffered from
Sitercepted passes, one of Washington's
touchdowns coming that way when
"Dude" Hitchcock caught one of Hill's
throws and skirted bis left end for 17
yards. This was in the fourth period
and "Doughnut King" Haynes annexed a
goal kick.
In the third quarter, the longest run
occurred but it went for nil, aa Imme
diately afterward Washington took the
ball and In , five downs forced Ritchie
over the goal line for a touchdown,
Haynes missing the goal kick. The East
Siders started taking the ball down the
field and when within 11 yards of the
Hill goal a forward pass was tried, but
Quarterback Churchill of the losers
intercepted It and 'ran 64 yards before
he was overtaken by "Dude" Hitchcock.
Hill tried to punch the heavy Wash
ington, line without results and a pass
was intercepted by a- Washingtontan
who went 14 yards. Quarterback Edlund
skirted his right end for a 30-yard sprint
which was followed by a 11-yard line
smash. With about six yards to go in
four downs, the Washington dackfleld
buckled down to work and on the third
down the ball was barely put across the
goal line.
The defensive work of Hartman of
Hill was one of the outstanding fea
tures. Time and again he Jumped over
the lineman and nabbed Edlund before
he could relieve himself of the ball. Cap
tain Day, had his nose injured and re
tired at the end of the first half, only
to come back for more in the fourth
quarter. Bali, Churchill and Johnson
also played great ball for Hill.
- Washington high looks like the "cham
pion of the world" but for some reason
or other the athletes lack the "go" which
characterised Coach Strong's James
John team a couple of years ago. They
were alow on their feet, and although
the Washington line is the most power
ful one seen in the Portland Inter
scholastlc league in many "years, still
the ability to use It seems lacking, for
very little yardage was made by line
plunges.
: "Dude" Hitchcbck played a fine game
but had to leave the contest in the fourth
quarter when his ankle gave way. He
played the last two quarters - "on one
foot" but he broke into every play.
Haak, Ritchie. Hurlburt. Hitchcock,
Haynes and King showed to good ad
vantage for Washington.

LEOK, Corvallis. Oct . Providing
the hot weather holds out. the Aggie
squad stands to lose over 100 pounds of
weight each night, according to Coach
Hargiss. The 1 game with, the Alumni
was disappointing to the bleachers , If
they - expected mid-season playing the
first real scrimmage.
"1 am satisfied with the game,", says
Coach Hargiss, "In that it answered its
purpose. The score' was no object, as
I wanted a good opportunity to watch
the men in action. The backfietd was
entirely reorganised, tha absence of
Reardon arid Powell threw us in a hole.
The majority of tha men were playing
out of their positions. So far In the sea
son the men have been drilled only on
fundamentals and have received no in
structions for offensive - or defensive
playing. The weak places will be plugged
and many changes made before v are
ready for a real game.'
With less than three weeks remaining
before the game with Stanford univer
sity, the varsity will experience one of
the hardest periods of training they will
undergo this season. Improvement can
be made In nearly every department of
the game, the edges being worked off.
