CHANCES OF FULTON BRIGHTEN Lanky Minnesotan Receiving Fa vorable Criticism in London Sporting Circles. By Sob . Chamberlain . tJnited Press Staff Cormpondtnt T ONDON (By MaU) Prospects of Fred Fulton's obtaining a match with eitber Joe Beckett, the British heavy weight champion, or Georges Carpentier, the Frenchman, look pretty slim. . Judging- from the showing- the big -American has been making, over here and the favorable criticism he has been receiving, opinion in sporting- circles is beginning, to take shape in the ..belief that Fulton is not only ' unbeatable as far as Beckett and Carpentier are con cerned, but that the' Minnesotan can lick Jack. Dempsey. They are beginning to believe that Dempsey's knockout of Fulton really was a- fluke. Beckett is frankly impressed with Ful ton but refuses to be enticed Into a match at present. The Englishman ia after big game. He wants Dempsey and knows that if he 'wanders into a match with Fulton he stands a pretty . good chance of taking the count. Beckett has no delusions about himself. He Is not afraid of Fulton and undoubtedly wtll take him on, but not beforejie has met Dempsey, GOISG AFTER WElZg . Regardless of Beckett's aversion In the matter, it is possible he may be forced Into a match with Fulton. The English man 'has indicated that Fulton should beat Frank Ooddard and . Bombardier Wells decisively if he want. match. This Fulton is planning to attempt. As for Carpentier. Fulton hasn't a chance. It is the frank belief that the Frenchman gammed his cards when he agreed to meet Beckett in the belief that the Britisher was a second rater. It Is hardly likely he would agree to fight Fulton unless he should heat P-Beckett, which Is not conceded. If Beckett Is vic torious over Carpentier his next opponent wUl probably be Dick Smith, British light heavyweight champion. . Smith boasts a win over. Beckett at the light heavyweight limit, but now that -Smith has graduated into the real heavy class, it is more than likely that Beckett will challenge him to clear the stain on his record. M!OORTT IS PRAISED Popularity-of American . boxers here continues to grow. Eddie MoGoorty's cleverness and gamenesa against Beckett in their recent engagement brought the ex-American doughboy much applause from the spectators and he will con tinue to be a drawing card for some months. It Is conceded that McGoorty can whip any Britisher outside Beckett. Fulton also is popular. At first sports men were a .bit -dubious of what they termed, the lanky scrappers boastfulness. But the ease with which he disposed of Arthur Townley convinced them he had the goods.'- - .Another .boxer the British are anxious to see here again -is Joe. Lynch, New York bantamwelcht, who earned a host of admirers by the clean way in which he disposed of ' all his opponents here except Jimmy Wilde, and there are quite a few who even yet think ha waa robbed of the verdict Eugene Corrl. referee, is among those who think Joe should have been given the decision. . . -.: School Teacher Is Instructor at . v 1 Oak-Park Oliib The Oak Park Country club of Chlcaxb has a woman caddy master, -and the iar novation, has nraved 100. nar cent auo- eessful, aa.thlei caddy master, Miss Ma- wuae JSggener,- -has Ideas.

Celebrating the success-of the recent epdurance run from Portland to Spo kane and return, the Rose City Motor cycle club put on a high Jinx program at their meeting Tuesday night. t Various stunts were staged along motorcycle lines, for the entertainment of the crowd. A tire changing contest developed real competition and some real speed, the winner in the amateur or non-shopworker class making the change in 40 .2-5 seconds, which is some time, considering the fact that a new casing was used and no tools other than bare fingers were permitted.' The stunt aa programmed was to put the casing on a rim arid then take it oft again, time being kept with a sto,) watch from the second when the' con testant started to put the tire on until the second, when the tire was clear of the rim again. Fred Gilbert was the successful performer in the amateui claee, and was rewardedwith a bundle that looked like a real, prise, but after unwinding many wrappings, the con tents disclosed was a tire valve. The professional class developed some real competition between P. Erwln of the Henderson shop, Joe Rlnard from the Indian agency at Vancouver and Kd Berreth of the Excelsior shop.- Ber- reth finally won out with the time ofi " Q aauu...! 1 . - Tl 1 1 1 i . ... seconds and Erwln third in SO seconds. Other stunts on the program included a motor repairing contest, in which a motor was put out of commission and then a contestant was given a certain length of time in which to get it bock In running order. This feature waa brought to a close by the arrival of the refreshments, which brought the even ins to a close. During the business meeting earlier in the evening a committee was appoint ed to look' up an "impossible" hlil for a hUl climbing event to take place New Tear's day in place of the regular en durance run.: In the South and East these hUI cUmasv have attracted a great deal of attention, but they have most always been staged on hills that eould be surmounted by a skillful rider, with ENGLISH STAR ' WOULD ABOLISH STYMIE PLAYING Many American Players Also in Favor of Elimination, Says Harry Vardon. "I am not a rabid, fanatical hater of the stymie," said Harry Vardon recently on standardisation of stymies. "Indeed, whenever I meet anyone who thinks that the rule ought to be observed, I fall in with his idea Immediately, -v ' " K ; . "The trouble Is to find anybody who believes in the stymie. : My experience in England is that 24 out of 25 golfers this la a careful estimate and not a mere statement at randomcay before-beginning the round. "Mind, we're not playing stymies,, or words to that effeet. " In Scotland the position Is Just about the same, so far aa I have been able to Judge. This In Itself; is a strong argument for expunging the stymie from the game except, of course, when you lay one your self.- -:V"i - - -. v-?-- fe. "Personally,! I am very keen that'solf should be played strictly in accord with the rule, and tt does not help toward that end to see this stymie rule flouted day after day.

WTATT OS WAT EAST Fred J. Wyatt of the Indian Motor cycle company left last night for the Hendee factory in Springfield, Mass. While back there Wyatt hopes to land the distributing agency for Oregon for the Indian motorcycle. ,-. For a great many years, Ballou ft Wright have been the distributors for the Indian machine, with. Wyatt's company holding a sub- agency under them. Early this fall Ballou & Wright gave up the distribut ing agency, intending to close their re-j tail business and engage in wholesale only. The Indian Motorcycle company at once put in their claim for the agen cy, and It is to back up this claim that wyatt Is now on his way tothe factory. While in the East, Wyatt intends to visit several of the motorcycle factories and gather as much pre-aeason dope on the 1920 models as is possible. WIIX HAVE 5EW HOME W. Jj.

' - NATIONAL SLUGGERS MISSING Hitters of ' Wagner-Keller Type Not to Be Found; Few Hit in Charmed Circle. By Jack Telock NEW TORK, 'Oct, 18. (L N. &) FenCe-busting, the ancient and hon orable art made famous by such sturdy sons of swat as Honos Wagner, fiaflry Lajota, , Willie Keller and others, and carried! into mo;re recent tjne by such players as Cobb and Rousch. whose" hit ting won them honors in the big show mis- year, seems to nave oeen somewnai of a forgotten art in the National league during tlie recent summer. . Glancing back at the batting averages of the National leaguers, we find that the number who finished the Job hit ting ,300 or better has been sadly de pleted when compared to the select sets of other years. Something Ja radically wrong. HAVE PITCHEBS IMPROVED t .Either the; historic ability -of . National league players to slug the pill has suf fered a decided and almost fatal slump or the pitching of the boxmen has fm proved by more than '60 per cent Which is it? The select set in the old eague In cludes the names of two lusty slugmen who helped the Reds win the National league flag, Rousch and Groh. But there are few In the .300 class, and of ficial averages, when they are published a little later on, will probably furnish some surprises if one cares to make comparisons between them and the fig ures of a few years ago, when the fences in National league parks were constantly being violated. - BOrSCH THE . LEASES . Several weeks before the close of the National league campaign there were but four or five players hitting 300 or better. It didn't seem natural It wasn't natural. About the middle of September, for instance, Rousch, Groh, Meusel of the Phillies. Hornsby of the Cardinals - and Hi Myers of Brooklyn comprised the' first five batsmen, and Myers waa numbered' among them with an average of only .299. while Rousch was hittlitg .118 at the time, a .remark ably low average for the latter in the old league. AYEKAGES WE BE HIGHEB By comparison with the American league batsmen, the heaviest stickers In the National , will undoubtedly show to a disadvantage when the final, averages for both leagues are mado publicJ' Cobb, the peerless peach, ff we are to take the 119 figures for it alone,' would . prob ably have hammered , his way into the lead in the first month of the season had he been in the National. league,' and outdistanced all competitors so far by midseason that he could pot have been seen for dust -It. has been a number of years since batting in the National league has been . r . . j 1 . Y . , , A, as weaa as 11 is iouy. ua w ii j Larry Doyle won the batting champion ship, hitting only .120. In 1308 and 1909. when Hans Wagner led the old league with .354 and .339, respectively, other hitters, with the exception of Mike Don- lln, trailed the ramous -uiying uuico man" at a-Jong distance. - - Baseball men are wondering whether to attribute the slump to- a general fall ing off of batting in John Heydler's cir cuit or blams it .on the shine ball or one ef the many other freak deliveries of the pitchers.

Fall basketball, baseball and tennis schedules will likely bo arranged. ''. - Reed college has always maintained that intercollegiate contests result tn over-development of men who are physically fit at the expense of tip men who need thorough physical development; that intercollegiate ath letics cannot be separated from many evils, and that a system of intra mural athletics is superior to any system of outside games. The present plan In nq. way alters the Reed stand on Intercollegiate athletics as ordinar ily conducted, and the faculty will revert to tthe old stand if a year's trial does not prove satisfactory. ; ; ' According to Professor "Torrey, chairman of the athletic eonunlttee, outside games will be played as an incentive to intramural athletics, anil a limited number of contestants will reward the ability shown in a pro season series of mterclass and Daydodger-Dormitory games. BIGGER HALL SOUGHT FOR RING BOUTS . rpHE Portland boxing commissioners have under consideration a proposi tion of staging the bi-monthly smokers in the Armory. Negotiations are under way for the use of the. big halt and it Is expected that things will take a definite shape this wssk. Owing to the limited capacity of the Helllg theatre the commission has been working Under a big handicap, being unable to draw a big enouga house to warrant the bringing of high class boxers here. Jack Grant, the commission matchmaker, stated that if -the Armory was secured, he could bring boys here that would pack the ilace and make the fans forget about the contests staged here a couple of seasons ago. , -71 is a lougn proposition to .get the good boxers to come here at our figures,; due to the fact, that they receive big money in 8n Francisco for four-round bouts," said Grant "They think they are entitled to twies as much money as they receive In San Francisco for 10 rounds." There is little .hope of The Auditorium being secured for the smokers. OREGON HAS STRONG GRIDIRON TEAM TWATCH out for the Lemon-Yellow football aggregation, is the word being passed around by the football fans who .witnessed the workout of the University of Oregon team on Multnomah field Thursday afternoon.

The team is well balanced frotn end to end, and has a powerful offensive backfleld, with Bill Steers, a .brainy, fielder leader, playing the pivot position. II. Huntington is another vet eran in the backfleld, and In the game against Multnomah a week ago bd displayed his old-time plunging form.
