He has three high salaried players on his roster Harry Wolter, Ed Spencer and Sammy Bonne who were cut adrift by other Coast league clubs, and It is likely that lomi trouble will be experienced in signing them to contracts.

Cochran, the London pro moter, has Georges Carpentier up until February 15, 1921, and the European heavyweight champion will be unable to meet Jack Dempsey, either in Europe or the United States, prior to that date without Cochran's sanction, today de clared William A. Brady, who represents Cochran in this country. Brady's an nouncement was prompted by the claim made by William Fox to the effect that Carpentier has agreed to sign with him to meet Dempsey here. EXPIEES IS 121 "I have In my possession the contract between Carpentier and Mr. Cochran,' said Brady today, "and any promoter who doubts it may have a look at the j Bame. Tne contract is absolutely bind-. ing. It would be upheld in any court In France, England or America. What's more, it does not expire until February 15, 1921, unless by the consent or ar rangement with Mr. Cochfan. As for Dempsey I have represented Mr. Coch ran in all his dealings with Kearns, and I am in receipt of a telegram from Kearns stating that he will see me at the earliest possible moment and dis cuss the proposition of Dempsey sign ing with Cochran. HAS DEPOSITS UP Cochran has already deposited $25,000 in London as stipulated by his contract with Carpentier. The articles call for the posting of another large sum . in June, and still another next December, providing that Cochran does not sign Dempsey In the meanwhile. "The contract reads that as long as Cochran makes deposits of money as stipulated, the contract shall continue In force. Before leaving for London, Coch ran said that he will post another large sum in June, provided he is able to sign Dempsey before that time." Wrestlers Ready For Annual Meet Leon Fabre, physical directbr for Washington high and Franklin high, has named the wrestlers who will rep resent the two institutions in the dual meet scheduled for Wednesday after noon in the Franklin high gymnasium. Six weights have been placed on the program from 108 pounds to 175 pounds, and Judging from the interest being shown in the affair a record-breaker attendance will be on hand. N'o ad mission will be charged to witness the struggles and It is the first time since before the war that a meet has been held between schools of the Portland Interscholastic league. Owen T. Carr of the Multnomah Amateur Athletic club will be the referee. The program follows : 108 pounds Llewellyn, Washington. versus Currie, Franklin. 115 pounds Mathews, Washington, versus Selfrede, Franklin ; Leonard, Washington, versus Atwood, Franklin ; Benson, Washington, versus Robinson, Franklin. 125 pounds Pay, Washington, veraus Gillard, Franklin ; McClanahan.

T ITTLE fellows will be featured in the Milwaukie boxing smoker next week, according to the complete card announced Monday by Frank Kendall matchmaker of the commission. The card is : Tommy Barone, St. Paul, vs. Earl Balrd, Seattle, 130 pounds, 10 rounds. Heinle Schumann, Tacoma. vs. Jimmy Marshall, San Francisco, 137 pounds. 10 rounds. Scotty Williams. Chicago, vs. Marty Foley, Tacoma, 150 pounds, six rounds. Weldon Wing, Portland, vs. Johnny Fontana, Texas. 130 pounds, six rounds, Frankle Webb. Portland, vs. George Burns. Portland, 125 pounds, four rounds. FOLEY HABD HITTER With the exception of the Wllllams- Foley bout, all contestants are in the lightweight or under divisions. Wil Hams is the highly touted colored bat tler who fought a draw with Billy Wright of Seattle in the opening amok er at Milwaukie. Williams was matched with Ortega, but on account of his poor showing with Wright the match was canceled. He has been training hard since his last contest and promises to give the fans his best at this time. Fo ley is a hard hitting battler and will probably make Williams extend him self. Schumann recently gave Eddie Shan non a nice trimming at Tacoma, but a poor decision robbed htm of the ver diet. Schumann is being handled by Eddie Marino. STARRED IN TEXAS Fontana, who meets Wing, is a new comer in these parts. He is credited with winning from everybody at his weight in Texas, where he served in the United States army. While this card does not appear as classy as others staged at Milwaukie, Manager George Moore Is confident that the fistic lovers will be given a real treat, as all boys have good reputa tions as battlers. New Chairman of B. B. Commission To Be Named Soon Sew York, Feb. 18 U. . S.)

Jiot one of them to my knowledge, has been a candtdate , for the chairmanship of the commission and the publish ing of their names was not only em barrasfring to them, but a handicap to Mr. Johnson and myself."

Monday night the Multnomah Guards defeated the stars from the Double-Djamond club, 24 to i, in tne wasnington Hign gymnasium. While playing against the Multnomah Amateur Athletic club Saturday night, one of the star guards. Tele Hupperton, was injured to such a degree that he had to be removed from the match, and he had not recovered sufficiently when the Spokane team was sent onto the floor against the fast Multnomah Guards. The only available substitute had not been working regularly in practice, and it threw the visitors off when it came to team work and passing. As it was, It may be doubtful whether or not the Inland Kmplre delegation could have de feated either the Winged 'M" boys or the Guards, the way they have been going of late. Manager Weatherford of the Spokane team had planned on tak ing his Btars to Seattle before returning home, but he was forced to cancel the side Journey, and the party left for East ern Washington on an early train this morning.
