TOP-LINERS ON ALL-STAR CARD AT MILWAUKIE
Four Formidable Heavies Top Milwaukie Boxing Commission Card;
Fred Fulton to Clash With "Gunner" Smith; Billy Mascott to
Tangle With Danny Edwards, the Oakland Flash.
By Bob
TJT7HAT looks like It should . b the greatest fight cart! ever staged on the
. Pacific coast is set for Milwaukie next Wednesday night. Never
before have we timberjack and Oregon grape folk been treated to a bill
which carries four formidable heavyweights as its chief attraction. 'Frisco
Is somewhat of a regular fight town, but. I doubt whether the Californiana
can point to a card which offered such men as Fred Fulton, Gunboat Smith,
Hugh Walker and Frank Farmer. It appears that George Moore and
Frank Kendall have slipped the fans something so good that it is not
realized or appreciated.
The Gunner has a record that is more glorious than is usually credited.
The dope book gives him two fights with Champion Jack Dempsey, in one
Of which he loHt Ihe decleion. and gained a draw in the other.
He has fought Battling Lcvirivky five i ; -
times, won from him three times. nit ' lllll I n t r i Itin

ether. His complete record shows some
thin like 200 fights, the majorily of
- , them having been won by the knockout
route. Arthur Pelky, Jess Willard. Billy
Minks, Jim Flynn, Carl Morris. Frank
: Moran, Jack Dillon, Kid Norfolk, Bill
. ' Tata and many others are among those
over whom he has scored.
- HAS BKES SET BACK
On the other hand. Smith's record
shows several setbacks, Among them
being the knockouts passed to him b
Sam Longford, Jim Coffey and Fred
' Fulton. But bmlth sincerely believes
he will -oop the big plasterer. If he
does so, he will defeat one of the big
gest and cleverest boxers who ever
stepped Into a ring. Fulton has Im
proved' at least 50 per cent since the
Dempsey scrap and Is 60 per cent more
confident and certain of his prowess.
i In the face of the records of the two
men, there Is no reason to doubt that
Fulton and Smith will put up a splen
' did fight and one that-is almost sine
' to end with a knockout. Fulton has
i every advantage and ought to win, but
; the Gunner looks tough enough to worry
him for a few rounds.
WAIKKB IS FAVOKITF.
The fight between Walker and
Farmer Is running the Fulton - Smith
setto a good race for first favor. Both
: 'Walker and Farmer have been seen
here and both have showed great class.
There will be no sparring or fancy box
ing when these two meet. They are
both fighters and heavy hitters. Walker
is. In much better shape for this go
; than he was when he fought Meehan
three weeks ago. The dope sheets
ft point to him as the -probable winner by
a knockout.
Going down the card a bit. we find
another boy of class. This is little Joe
Mandot, New Orleans lightweight, who
has several times fought himself up to
.the championship peak, only to bo
bumped off by stronger and heavier
boys. He lambasted Joe Rivers when
Rivers was gong like a house afire.
' Mandot has been out of the ring for
.about a year and Intends to mfike an
attempt to fight himself back among

good games were recorded during the
last week, when Ainsworth won from
I.add, 11 to 1ft. In 12 Innings, and Ladd
defeated Holman, 1 to 0.
In the I.add-Holman affair, a double
and a triple play were recorded, Jack
Hall and Alois Hazel, being the two
little athletes to accomplish the feat
each time.
There was no school Friday because
of the Faster vacation nor will there
be any tomorrow and for this reason
the contests slated for Monday will take
place Tuesday, that Is as far as sections
1. 2 and S are concerned. In section. 4.
the matches will take place the follow

The good, rich tobacco taste

It Is the Idea of the P. B. A. board
of managers to select four teams of
Portland to battle' the four beet out of

be selected to represent the Hose City
remains to be seen. 'It will be a diffi

the organization, anfi tbey ask that all
managers help ttiem out of their diffi
culty as much as possible.
If there in a manager who feels that
he has a team which can be listed, as
one of the four bestj in the city, all he
has to do Is to notify President Jack
Routledge at A. G.' Spalding tt Bros.,
and the committee will look the boys
over. At present there are seven ag
gregations being .figured on to battle
among themselves to be selected for the
clans AA circuit of; the P. B. A., and
several more are expected to make ap
plication before the J 1st closes.

f it
By Bob
INTRODUCING Tom O'Rourke, the
only man who ever invaded the Old
South with a colored boxer and made
'em like it.
Tom is here in our
mist, because he has
certain attachments,
legal, perhaps, and
otherwise, o n the
mighty Fred Fulton.
Brushing Fulton
aside, as Gunboat
Smith hopes to do at
Milwaukie April 7,
we find Tom
O'Rourke standing in
a boxer's corner at
New Orleans during
the first week of
September, 1892.
DROPS SKELLT
Dixon was the
boxer's name Little Chocolate, he was
called by everybody who, knew him,
chocolate designating his color and he
was fighting a white boy named Jack
Skelly, who. was then considered one of
the best amateur boxers in the world
and who is now a boxing authority
palavering his stuff for a New York
daily.
"Dixon was the greatest fighter that
ever lived," said O'Rourke, taking me
back across the vale of tears and sitting
me down beside a ring, a wondering,
half-dazed child.
"You recail how ho could hit? With
either hand from any angle. Didn't make
much difference to Dixon. And that
loft will there ever be another like it?
Guess that foundry which made that
has run out of material. He was a
kuockerouU you know. Biff! Bang!
That's what Dixon did and the result
wat disastrous.
tlRST ONE TO BOX
"Let me tell' you a few secrets about
Little Chocolate. He could have won
the fight from Skelly that night in the
first round, but he wanted to give the
crowd a run for Its money. Then
again, he was a colored boy the first
one who had ever gone down there
and he was fighting a white boy who
was very popular. He didn't want to
get them against him, but he wanted to
win as soon as he could decently. He
asked me : "Mr. O'Rourke, I want, you
to let me carry that boy along a few
rounds, and then I'll put him out Re
luctantly I agreed with Dixon, and he
carried Skelly along for eight rounds
and then pulled down the curtains. It
was a good bout up to that time, a won
derful sparring exhibition, and when
Dixon decided he had given the boys
enough of himself, he stopped the ex
hibit stuff and ended the fight.
"Dixon did as much to heal the
wounds between the races in the South
as Booker T. Washington. The South
admired him as much as his own New
England did. When he left there, tbe
way had been made easy for other col
ored boys to wend their footsteps south
ward and fight without being hissed.
WAS A BANTAM
"Another thing I can tell you. They
always regarded Dixon as a feather
weight. He wasn't. He never weighed
ovtr 116 and often fought at 112 and
even 105. Weight with him was a minor
(ensideration. Featherweights and
lightweights looked alike to him. He
fi ught Young Griffo three draws
when Griffo weighed 145 pounds and
Dixon was fat at 116 for that fight,
"Dixon was clean white inside, game
ar they ever made 'em. and liked to boa
and fight. And he knew how. No one
can go to Little Chocolate's grave in
New York and say a word against him."
I'OOSTS PRESENT PROTEGE
O'Rourke talked tenderly of the won
derful little fighter and X detected a
catch in his voice more than once.
O'Rourke picked htm up a callow, inex
perienced kid and piloted him through
13 years of world championship form.
He held hie title longer than John L.
did his. That is some testimonial for
O'Rourke. who is now a greybeard, but
still jovial, and who has done more for
Fred Fulton in the short time he has
handled him than was ever done for him
before.
O'Rourke wasn't managing Fulton ',
when Dempsey copped him for Rip Van
Winkle land. But O'Rourke believes j
that big Fred wilt best Dempsey if they !
ever meet again.

Big Purses Many
On Track This Year
New York. April 8. I. N. S.) Nine-teen-twenty,
promises to be a record
year on the turf in the matter of valu
able stakes. The recent announcement
of the Kentucky Jockey club adding
thousands of dollars to all important
races In the Blue Grass state this year
and the added richness of eagtern turf
fixtures, such as the Futurity, the With
ers, the Belmont Handicap and many
others, indicate that any horseman who
turns out a big winning stable will
make a real killing. In the olden days
810,000 stakes on American race tracks
were considered enormous. When the
World's Fair derby wag run at Chicago
with $50,000 going to the winner it was
believed the top figure hi racing purses
had been reached. This year, however,
many races will be run in which the
winner will take down $50,000 or more.
