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

lished a new department of physical edu
cation In the schools of that country In

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.

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.

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.
Franklin Field May Stage Trials
Track and field stars from ail parts
of the United States may hold their
1920 final try outs for positions on the

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.

SOCCER IS
BECOMING
POPULAR
Three Games Scheduled for This
Afternoon in Portland Soccer
Football Association.
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.

TY COBB HAS LED A. L.
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.

TUESDAY
Judge McCredie Will Represent
Portland at Pacific Coast .
League Session.
JUDGE WILLIAM WALLACE!
J M CREDIE is on his way to Ban
Francisco, where he will attend the
special meeting of the directors of
the Pacific Coast Baseball league
next Tuesday afternoon.. 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.
When he was informed that President
McCarthy was In favor of Increasing,
the price of admission to the games this
season, the judge did not. take , very
kindly to It. because he said that in do.
ing so the players, no doubt, would ask
for increases In salaries and, for that
reason, it would benefit no one.
As for starting the 1920 schedule be
fore April 6. Judge McCredle could see
no reason for it at this time, and the
only thing that he was certain about
was the fact that Portland's game for
this year could not be played later than
the first Sunday in October, as far as
the Vaughn street grounds were con
cerned. ,
The Judge will be away from Portland
about a week, he figured.
Roy Alexander, a big. red-headed ath.
lete of Cove, Or has been tendered
Beaver contract He was signed up for
the Portland club two or three years ago,
but he went to war Instead of reporting -for
baseball work. "Red" can play any
position, it Is said, and he Is a star In
any of them. Herbert Owens of Cove
took a contract back with him to get
Alexander to sign It. ,
; The signed contract of Frank Oulgnl,
former Colt, was received by Judge Mo
Credie just before he left for the South
land. This took a big load off the Mc
Credle mind, for, after he had heard
what Gulgnl had been doing as a pitch
er, he was afraid Some other magnate
would sign him up before the Portland
legal papers reached the star. Oulgnl
was a third baseman when he was draw
ing pay from the Colt camp, but he was
switched over to twirling, and he cer
tainly throws a mean sphere. Judging
from the reports sent in by Nick Wil
liams. Walter McCredle, manager of tha
.Beavers, has been too busy out at his
farm to allow baseball to worry him
much, but with spring coming on he la
allowing his mind to wander from the
frosen water pipes on his place to base
hits, balks and future major leaguera
Reports from San Francisco are to
the effect that the Seals want Frank
Walker, who Jumped from the Beaters
last year. The Bay City owners are
dickering through Detroit, and If the
deal can be made whereby the Tigers
send a good man to the Beavers, wheth
er It be a pitcher or an outfielder,' tha
McCredies wUl permit Walker to join
the Seal camp. Efforts have been enads
to trade Walker to Pittsburg for Cliff
Lee, but nothing has come of it
Vancouver Shooter
Goes 323 Straight
Riverside, Cal.', Jan. 8. In the trap
shooting tournament staged here for th
last three days, Frank M. Troeh of Van
couver, Wash., established a mark that
will be hard to beat for some Urns to
come. He broke 447 out of a poiilbls
460. He also made a run of 828 straight
without a miss and up to this time he
was tied with W. Henderson of Ken
lucky for high straight run honors of
America with 298 each. .

' Des Moines, Iowa, Jan. 8 .With ths '
assurance that ths attendance will be at
least 70,000 during the 1920 season It Is
certain that Des Moines will be repre
sented in the Western league again. Torn
Fa!rweather, president of the club, was
ready to give up the "ghost" but when
the fans came forth and said that they
would guarantee 70,000 paid admissions
during the campaign, Falrweather - was
content to stick with the ship. Alt ths
president asked was that the club break
sven for the season and he would put a
team In the field.
