The Best Mitt Slingers on the Pacific Coast Will Appear in Portland and Milwaukie ALL-STAR CARDS TO FEATURE Milwaukie Card Set for Next Fri day; Portland Commission Has January 14 Set Aside. npwo smokers are listed for Port land and vicinity within the next 10 days, the Milwaukie boxing arena having made arrangement to stage a card next Friday night and the , Portland boxing commission will ' stage its show in the Heillg theatre . Wednesday night, January 14. Both Matchmaker Jack Grant of Portland and Frank Kendall of . Mil waukie have lined up all-star cards, and ' both will be topped by the best the Par - clfio coast can produce. Earl Balrd and Frankte Malone, Joe : Gorman and Harry Pelslnger. Al Som ' men and Harry Gillum and Jimmy Duf fy ahd George Brandon. MILWAUKIE LIKIHO VT GABD That Is the Milwaukie boxing com mission's card (or its next smoker on January , as announced by Match maker Frank Kendall Saturday morn-:-: Ing. All the boys signed up Friday ; night, and the strangers are now on . .their way to the Rose City to finish up - their training. - None of the boxers on the card need an introduction, as all of them have ap- - peered here and all of them have more - than made good. Malone is considered the best on the coast at his weight, and is the boy who shaded JoeGorman in a . : recent smoker in Portland. In Balrd, who fought such a great fight with Joe . Gorman at Milwaukie on New Year's afternoon, Malone will be meeting his hardest competitor. Marry Pelslnger Is the lad who fought ' Jimmy Dundee at the Heilig not many : months ago, a scrap which was called the greatest and fastest evr staged locally. Al Sommers is going well again, and Gillum has been cleaning 'em up around Puget Sound. Duffy and Brandon battled like game cocks on , New Tear's afternoon, and ended with a draw, although the majority of specta tors thought that Duffy had shaded the little tar. Brandon is anxious to square -. that account with the Aberdeen battler, and has already begun "training. A four-round go between two boys not " yet selected will open the show. Matchmaker Jack Grant has listed two 10-round engagements for ' the . Helllg theatre for January 14. and '. Johnny McCarthy of San Francisco and Alex Trambjias of Portland will furnish the last affair of the evening. McCarthy, who Is considered to be the best middle weight on the Pacific coast, will have to produce everything he has to best the fast-going Alex. McCarthy Is dangerous wit heither hand, and can be deoended on to finish' his man in quick order when the opportunity comes. vLCHAMPIOlf OF CANADA HEBE Frankte Farren of San Francisco and Peggy Morton of Los Angeles have been engaged to put up the 10-round semi wlndup. . Morton won the 135-pound championship of Canada, and he is a - rugged boy to handle. He threw a glove at Heinle Schuman, the fighting marine, and It came so fast that the Tacoma , battler hit the mat for the count of ... seven. A six-round affair betwen Jimmy . Dundee of Oakland and Weldon Wing of Portland should furnish enough - - thrills to satisfy the most rabid boxing fan In Portland. Then Matchmaker Grant is keeping the wires busy signing up Frankle Denny of San Francisco and ; Jimmy Storey of 8eattJe for six rounds. As a curtain-raiser. Jimmy Duffy of - Aberdeen, who battled in this neck of the woods last week and put up such a r great mix against the fighting tar, V George Brandon, will hook up with -" either George Engle of San Francisco or ' Bud Stevens of Portland for four -. rounds; - ' Peru Adopts New Department President Leguia of Peru r has estab lished a new department of physical edu cation In the schools of that country In order that future generations may re ceive the benefits of the instruction. Athletes of Peru compete against Chill, Argentina, Guatemala, Uruguay and Brazil in annual games. . No Regatta for Philadelphia Schuylkill Vany, which comprises the rowing clubs of Philadelphia, are not likely to bid for the annual regatta of the National Association of Amateur Oarsmen, which will be awarded at the , annual meeting of the executive board In New York next March. Many Entries Coming In The Olympic Yacht Racing- regatta. Which will take place in Belgian waters, off Ostend, July 7 to 10. next year, has been promised entries from' Great Brit ain, France, Italy, Spain, Denmark, Nor way Holland, Sweden, Finland and Bel glum. v Two famous soccer players from ..

ALL BRANCHES OF ATHLEflCS CAME INTO OWN IN 1919 Review of 1919 Shows Great Power of Attraction of Clean Sports; New Champions. v NEW YORK, Jan. 8. Sport came back to Its own during the year that just faded out. 1 With the signing of the armistice a year ago last November, leaders in every branch of sport began making plans for 1919. And sport oame back with a bang. : Big sporting events of nearly .every kind drew crowds that left no doubt regarding the suability of the athletic game in this country. The Dempsey Wlllard fight at Toledo, while it failed to draw what Promoter Tex Rickard expected, netted about $300,661) for the promoter and $125,000 for; Dempsey and Wlllard, the old champion getting $101, 000, a record-breaking purse,- for his end. esi.00 SAW BEDS WIIT The world's series between the Reds and White Sox drew capacity crowds. The teams played to upward of 230,000 spectators, and the receipts were more than $$50,000. The winning of the championship by a Western National league team was decidedly popular with random. i Boxing had one of the best years it has ever seen. Jess Wlllard, the biggest man who has ever held the World's heavyweight championship, was de throned at the memorable battle by J ark Dempsey. , Man o' War, the 3-year-old title win ner, clinched his crown at Saratoga after a notable string of victories. Willie Hoppe, world's balkfine bfllard champion, defended his title against a field of the country's best stars and had an easy time with all comers. MRS. MALLOBT LOST TITLE William M. JohnBtbn of San Francisco, who won the National singles tennis championship In 1915, came back in 191 and stroked -his way to glory and an-j other National title In the August tour' ney at Forest HUls, defeating a field of players including such American wield ers of the racquet as R. N. Williams II, William Tllden II, R. Lindley Mur ray and many other "Yanks" of top notch calibre. In addition, this field of stars contained Norman E. Brookes and Gerald Patterson, the famous Australian stars. j Mrs. Franklin I. Mallory. formerly Miss Molla Bjurstedt, who held the women's National singles title three times, was defeated in the annual tour ney this year by Mrs. George W. Weightman of Boston, who before her marriage was Miss Hazel Hotchklss and a former National title holder. Golf also had a big year. The United States Golf association successfully staged each of its big title events, and dozens of intersections!, - sectional and exhibition matches were played with big galleries looking on. HEREON CROWNED "KING" The year saw the crowning of a new National amateur champion in the per son of 8. D. Herron of Pittsburg, the former collegiate star of Princeton uni versity. All in all. it can be truthfully said that the war did not hurt sports. True, It took some of the stars and many a one of these lies beneath the popples of Flanders. But the lesson of physical preparedness that it taught to the world will never be forgotten, in this country at leasU Leaders in athletic sports, par ticularly, have freely predicted that this will be shown in the future by the tak ing up of sports of various kinds by a greater percentage of the population than ever before. The year 1920 Is expected to crown them all. Report Has Eller Retiring From Game Danville. Ills.,; Jan. !.(U. P.)

YANKEE MITTMEN IN BRITAIN FAVOR "CHAMP" DEMPSEY Carpentier Will Be Up Against Something Different When He Tangles With, Title Holder. By Charles M. McCasn ' T ONDON, Jan. S. (U. P.) American boxers now in London and their managers, are practically unanimous in the belief that Georges Carpentier has little chance to. wrest the world's heavy weight title from Jack Dempsey in their coming match. The one exception to, this consensus Is Ted Lewis, born in London, but a naturalized American, who formerly held the welterweight title. And he does not commit himself irrevocably In favor of the Frenchman. Johnny Griffiths. Akron. Ohio, welter. weight, who recently stopped Francois Charles, a Frenchman, in Jig time, has this to say: "Dempsey will beat Carpentier within six rounds. The Frenchman Is good. There is none better in Europe. But he is not good enough for Dempsey. My money is on Jack." MOORE LIKES DEMPSEY, TOO Pal Moore. Memphis bantamweight, who made Eugene Criqui, another Frenchman, quit the same night as the Griffiths-Charles go. says: Dempsey Is not like Wells and Beck ett, who wefe easy for Carpentier. Jack has both brains and brawn, and Is both righter and a boxer. Caroentier Is the better boxer, but he hasn't Demp sey's wallop." Ted Lewis, who Put awar the ancient Matt Wellsv former British lightweight cnampion. just to make it an all-Amer-lcan night, says: Carpentier has more soeed and brains. He will be as unUke Wlllard as day and night. He has a kick like a mule and wis be the hardest Drooosl- tion Dempsey ever tackled." EJTGLISHMAjr FAVORS JACK Fred Harvey, an Englishman and Lewis' manager, says : "Dempsey is the better. I saw him fight Wlllard and I think he is too big, too strong and too fast for Carpentier. But he will have no walkaway. "Cochran has sewed up Carpentier and will Induce Dempsey to come over here and fight- Nate Lewis, Moore's manager, says he wUl back Dempsey to the limit against Carpentier. British boxing fans, of course, can see nothing but Carpentier, In view of the way he has slaughtered the best they could produce. But the American colony is Just as keen for Jack's chances as are the Yankee boxers here. YANKEES WELL LIKED The American boys made a great hit with their work on Boxing day and now sporting circles aro clamoring for matches between Griffiths and Johnny Baaham. the British welterweight cham pion, and between Moore and Ledoux, t.ie French bantam title holder. 261 Amateurs Qualify By Peter Editor Katlosal TVO hundred and sixty-one' amateur trapshooters qualified for the official averages of the American Trapshootlsg association for 1919 by shooting at 2000 or more clay targets in registered competition.

Seaxle K &, Seattle, UI JU li lJiL jlz&zjgiJ u Butler Is Excited V i n Bouts Recalled THE fans who witnessed the New Year's afternoon smoker of the Milwaukie boxing commission are still talking about the program, but the one that has caused the most comment happened between Earl Balrd of Seattle and Joe Gorman of Portland for eight rounds. These young battlers furnished enough thrills to warrant packed houses any time either one appears on the card. "The fastest, most scientific and clever boxing exhibition I have seen in many a day," said Mike H. But ler, who trained the famous Kid Lavlgne for several yeara "I went with the Kid to London in 1898 and saw him battle Dick Berge In the greatest fight in history and let me tell you the Gorman-Balrd event last Thursday rivaled It. I also saw Kid Lavigne meet Joe Wolcott as well as the George Dlxon-Eddie Saatry match and I forgot them in the excitement of New Year's day. Let me tell you that if Chicago, New York. Philadelphia or any other fight center of the East staged that bout the crowd would have been on Its feet throughout and in a terrible frenzy. I can't help but repeat that Gorman and Baird put up the hard est punching, cleanest, most scien tific, clever and fastest engagement I have witnessed In a score of yeara" Coming from Mike, who has trained the best of them, these words carry a lot of weight. The bout was called a draw and the house was about evenly divided as to which had a shade if there was one. i American Boxers Are Loud in Praise Over Treatment The American trio of amateur boxers who Invaded the Scandinavian countries In quest of international honors re turned home recently aboard the liner Bergensjord, all aglow over the fine treatment accorded them on foreign shores. , Frank Cassldy of New York, light weight ; Ashton Donze of New Orleans, featherweight, and John Burke of Pittsburg, light heavyweight, were the three who came back loaded with prizes won in competition against the best boxers the Scandinavian countries could produce. Donze, during the trip, managed to win the featherweight championship of Sweden, which chanced to (come up for competition at the time the Americans arrived in that country. Burke won the heavyweight title of Sweden by defeating the Swedish cham pion, Oelson. in 20 seconds with a right smash to the jaw.

BIG LEAGUE MOGULS WILL TRAIN THEIR MEN IN SOUTHLAND Chicago Cubs Will Start for 1920 Spring Training Camp February 28. By Henry L. Farrell NEW YORK, Jan. 8. We're going south February' 28. The first breath of spring, the first yelp of baseball's 1920 infant were con tained in this announcement from the Cubs' office in Chicago. Fted Mitchell and his Bruins are the first ones to give the hot stove league something definite to talk about in the way of spring training. The Cubs are going to start the earli est in four years, and their lead is ex pected to be followed by most of the other clubs since the restriction on the training period has been dropped by the leagues. Places where the winter kinks will be worked out of arms and limbs have been selected by practically every club. TEAMS WILL HEAD SOUTH All of the teams will go south. Con nie Mack and Branch Rickey trained on their home grounds last spring. Connie' tried it as a retrenchment policy, Rickey tried it as an experiment. It was un successful In both cases and hardly will be tried again by any club. The world's champion Reds are not going back to Waxahatchle. Pat Mo ran said at the recent league meeting that he was not willing to groom the Reds for another championship drive on railroad tracks like he did last season. He Is going to take the Cincinnati out fit to Miami, Fla. It may be a hunch that the White Sox are playing, for they are going to train at Waxahatchle, despite Moran's advice to take an ark along with them to sur vive the floods. Kid Gleason Is an op timist and says, "It may not rain next spring." The Giants have turned down their old stamping grounds at Marlln, Texas, and are gotng to San Antonio. There was talk for a while that the New York ers would go to the Havana race track owned by McGraw, but their leader voted against it Branch Rickey takes his Cardinals to Brownsville, and Connie Mack will trot his Pathetics to Lake Charles. La. TKey are both going to engage In a spring series at the close of the training. HCOHET ITAMES MACON, OA. The Yankees and the Dodgers are to entertain the. "Idle rich" of Jackson ville, Fla. Clarke Griffith will take his newly acquired Senators to Augusta, Ga. Hughey Jennings and Jack Coombs will put the Tigers through the paces at Macon, Ga. The Braves will goto Columbia, Ga, George Gibson, the new pilot of the Pirate ship. Is undecided, but he Is said to like Marlln, where McGraw had suc cess. Trls Speaker, making his first trip as a manager, will try out New Orleans and the . Browns will go to Mobile, Ala. The Cubs go out on the Pacific coast to Pasadena, Cal. The Phillies go to Birmingham and the Red Sox to Hot 1 Springs. FRANK M. TROEH, Van couver, ,W ash., trap shooter, scores straight run of 323 at Riverside, Cal. t" " Jt" y iy v " ' "yifiw I !

TV7HAT promises to be a "cham- pionship" game will be played this afternoon on the Reed college grounds when -the Waverleigh Ath letic club soccer team battles agalnA the Peninsula aggregation. It Is a regularly scheduled contest of, the Portland Soccer Football association, and the other matches of the after noon will find the Kerns delegation meeting Mt. Scott-on the Franklin gridiron, and the Bankers will Jostle the Artisans at Columbia park, All games will start at 2 o'clock. There is much rivalry between the Waverlelsh and Peninsula squads, and today's engagement will be used as criterion as to which will land nearer the top of the league race. Each team will play two contests against every other eleven In the circuit R. Mansley will be the referee at Reed college. .OFFICERS ABE WELX KSOWN The officers of the Portland Soccer Football association are: P. Chappell Browne, president; Judge George Cam eron, vice president, and Robert M. D. Rankin, secretary-treasurer. President Browne Is known far and wide as the "Father of Soccer Football in Oregon." having been responsible for the game in the colleges and high schools of the state. He was a great player during his youth In New Zealand. Judge Cameron played the game for almost 80 years, and it was only about eight or 10 years ago that he gave up entering competition. It was through his efforts that the beautiful -Cameron trophy came into being several seasons back, and It still is being played for. Secretary Robert M. D. Rankin was considered the best goal tender playing soccer In Portland when the old league was In existence. As a forward, he was among the leaders, and he holds the dis tinction of having scored a goal in every representative game he fever played In, that is when he wasn't the goalkeeper. He played with the Multnomah Amateur Athletic club, Mt. Scott champions and the Rangers, as well as organising games for the benflt of the Red Cross and all-star contests. , MAY PLAY SEATTLE LATER With these three men at the helm, the Portland Soccer Football association ex pects to experience Its best year in the 1919-20 season. Games are played every Sunday afternoon. Before the athletes put away their uniforms there is a great possibility that a game between the champions of the Portland circuit wlU meet the leaders of Seattle and will state two matches, one in the Sound city and the other one in Portland. FTER allowing the contestants In the XI annual three-cushion billiard tour nament of the Rlalto billiard parlors a vacation through the Christmas and New Year's holidays, the tourney again will get under way with contests Monday night. Manager Harry D. Green has arranged for five games and one of the matches will be between Sam Goodland and George Hart, two of the best three- cushion artists in Oregon. Larry Talbot will meet A. Kaiser, Frank Setvlll versus Dr. Selig, IC E. Fllslnger versus G. Kline and William Powers will meet C. W. Easley. lUaito billiard parlor tbrea-ctuhion billiard tournament standings: Class A W.

BATTERS FOR TWELVE YEARS; STILL STRONG Since Younger Circuit Was Or ganized, 20 Years Ago, Cobb Has Been Master 12 Times. "JVTEW YORK, Jan, 3. Batting records amassed by the stars of other days pale in comparison to the marks already set up by Tyrus Raymond Cobb, ' who is still the foremost batsman in baseball The famous "Georgia Peach" was crowned king of American league bats men for the twelfth time In 13 straight years when the official American league averages were published recently, but the end is not yet not if Indications count for anything. As far back as three s-ears sgo some few "wild guessers" opined that the great Tyrus was ready to start on the downward trail ; that he had reached his senlth as a star of the first magni tude. Perhaps Cobb has now reached his senlth. If he has we'll say It Is some senlth. But as for signs of the great Ty going back with anything that resembles haste there aren't any. HB STILL HITS THE "APPLE" Perhaps Cobb Is hot aulte as fast afoot as he was five or six years ago. The weight of years always takes Its toll first In the legs of a ball player. Cobb may be two or three steps slower getting to first base than he was a few seasons back, but his batting orbs are apparently lust as Trlrht as ever. His 1919 record proves that he can still look at all kinds of good pitching; and consistently hammer the horsehide for a better average than any other player in eiiner league. - There Is but one player In the UDier strata among American league batsmen wno might overhaul Cobb and beat him but if he should happen to have a poor year at the bat. bringing, of Course, the chance that some newcomer might go craxy and hit away above his speed, or some veteran like Joe Jackson, who has long been an unsuccessful rival of the "Georgia Peach," should take a flyer in batting and surprise even himself. George Slsler has proven himself a con sistent star in every department of the game, especially batting, and he has youth on his side. He la the player in mind. TY HAS LID FOR If YEARS Brilliant as Slsler looks as a possible batting champion of the future, how ever, he will probably never even ap proach the marks that Cobb has carved in baseball annals with his murderous bat The American league has been oper ated for 20 seasons. Out of this num ber Cobb has shown all batsmen the way to the championship of his league for 12 years, and for the last three sea sons he has batted better than .880. This mark is the high figure reached by Honus Wagner, who established an average of .380 in 1900. Yet, out of his 12 seasons as batting champion Cobb has batted better than .880 seven times, and twice his averages were better than .400. His best batting average was ac complished In 1911. when he hit .420. Anson, Dalrymple, Kelly. Brouthers. Keeler, Burkett, Wagner and Lajole were all wonderful batsmen, and of : this constellation of one-time stars Wagner and Lajole stand out brilliantly. But the operations of T. Cobb are so far above the best marks set before his time during which modern records have been kept, that there is no comparison that shows in favor of the stars of other days and no argument that can be advanced successfully to take any thing from the lithe Georgian.

Ths Port land magnate left last night, and h . declared that the Important thing; to come before the body wag making a , schedule for the 1920 season.

Judging from the reports sent in by Nick Wil liams.
