Mike O'Dowd, ex-Champion, and
Battling Ortega to Furnish Main
Contest; Big Crowd Expected.
By Bob
ABOUT the only sensations lacking
In the record of Mike O'Dowd,
premier middleweight of America,
who meets Battling Ortega before
the Milwaukie boxing commission
next Thursday night, are battles
against John JU Sullivan and the
present Jack Dempsey. Otherwise,
O'Dowd seems to haye taken on all
of them big and little, rough and
gentle, fighters and boxers. j
O'Dowd In
fought the clever,
n the rangy and i the
hard-hitting Billy
Miske twice, and
did as well against
Miske some say
b e 1 1 e r as -Jack
Dempsey. Big ? Al
Norton, Who might
pass for an Incar
nate advertisement
of the beef trust,
and who hits like
the bubonic plague,
lasted one round
with O'Dowd. Nor
ton weighs - some
thing like 60 pounds more than O'Dowd.
8TABTED IX Mil j
O'DoWd began to flash across the
boxing horizon in 19X3 with a string
of quick knockouts, and since then he
has suffered only two questionable de
cision defeats, both by boxers compara
tively unknown. One of these was by a
fellow named Joe Eagan, who has been
forgotten, and the other was recently
at the hands of Johnny Wilson, who
will probably be forgotten as soon as
O'Dowd gets another crack at htm. (
Barring these two flukes, O'Dowd's
record Is as clean as a new slate. '
In 1915 O'Dowd established himself as
a -great fighter by meeting such men
as Walter Monahan, Billy Miske, Silent
Martin and Soldier Bartfleld. All were
bigger than O'Dowd. but he either held
them even or beat them. ! I
lie . has fought Ted Lewis and Jack
Brit ton, both of whom have been in a
merry chase in holding the welterweight
title, half a dozen times, and has i al
ways beaten them. O'Dowd has beaten
Harry Oreb. Zulu Kid,- Mike Gibbons
and Augie Ratner. ; Ratner is the only
man who ever defeated the redoubtable
Boy McCormack, . who was so popular
in Portland not many months ago. i A
defeat of Mike Gibbons seems in itself
glory enough for any. boxer. . j -
That Is a mere glance at the fighting
Irishman's record. Complete, It fills a
large space and comprises victories over
many first-class boxers. .
HAS IRISH SMILE," TOO : ; ; .
O'Dowd is Irish In name, Irish tn
spirit and .Irish In, face that Is, r la
what's left of his face. " .It has been
battered from chin to dome and from
ear to ear. The only natural thine left
doui ii ie me iruowo smiie. mat is
something none of the roughnecks haveJ
been able to knock off. O'Dowd's nose
has been plastered- all over his face, j his
ears have been hung all over the sides
of his head and he has otherwise been
given many significant decorations of
the high and mystic order of the padded
mitts. " .. .- !
O'Dowd knows only one thing mat
is fight. When the bell rings, he comes
out of his corner and begins flaying
with both hands. He doesn't stop until
he is stopped or the other chap is
knocked silly. He hits like a mule's
kick, and by the same token, only?
inule i kick is able to shake him.
ORTEGA IS BATTLER
t Battling Ortego is a fighter of (the
order of O'Dowd, and what will happen,
or how soon it will happen, when they
meet In the center of the ring is a
theme for a wild and woolly imagina
tion. Ortega come in. head down, like
O'Dowd. with both hands going, j He
-never lets an opponent rest. It doesn't

American Ring Men Declare Dove
Is Good Bit of Fighting
Timber.
NEW TORK, June 19 tt. N. S.) A
new heavyweight title aspirant is be
ing groomed in London. ! He is a univeiv
sity boy, an Oxford student, and he gives
promise of toppling some of the heavies
from their pedestals. . .'
; His name 'is F. S. Dove and he's the
best piece of fighting timber the-experts
have viewed tn action in some time. He's
by-far the best the varsities have ever
contributed to the cause. He still retains
his amateur standing, and those who are
looking after his -progress are rather
shrewd in keeping, his amateur record
unstained while he is being brought for
ward to . the perfection stage when ; the
announcement will be made of his readi
ness . to tackle Britain's est among
those of extreme poundage. ;
- We learned, of. him some time ago and
since then have asked Eddie' McGcorty,
Nate Lewis, Benny McNeil and others
wHom wa know to look, him over and then
spill the -.real truth concerning him, so
that our readers maybe informed in ad
vance. We have -heard from them all,
and each of them gives unstinted praise
to the boy, saying he looks like the best
bet in years for a beginner. We have
no personal interest in this youngster
only to be able to always remain "a
step ahead" of competition In announc
ing these promising boys.
Dove 5 recently won the universities,
hospitals and cadets heavyweight cham
pionship in a manner that was thrilling,
and had be ' entered the amateur heavy
weight championship of Great Britain it
is no-exaggeration In saying he -rould
have landed the prise hands down, for
he Is a far better man, according to good
judges, than R. R. Dawson, who proved
to be the winner In that event.

FUNDS NEEDED TO

the American Olympic games
W committee met In New York about
two months ago, the United States was
aiviaea is wiuu
for the purpose of
raising funds to. Bend
the amateurs to Bel
gium this summer.
Portland's allotment
was placed at 35000
and to date sub
scriptions have been
coming in very slow
to the local Olympic
games committee,
j Unlike most of the
countries, the United
States depends, on
popular subscrip
tions to secure
enough money to
send the nation's
best athletes to compete against the
world. Ever since the Olympic games
were started, Old Glory has flown at the
top after everything was said and done
and the 1920 contests will not be an ex
ception, f. .
Oregon, as has always been the case,
will be represented with several favorite
sons on the American team which leaves
the United States early next month for
Antwerp. Belgium. Next Saturday after
noon the . Pacific coast tryouts ' for the
events - will be held at Pasadena. Cal.
and followers of the track : and field
sports will be. given an opportunity to
see how. the westerners' efforts stack up
with those of the East. Chicago and
Philadelphia also will be holding try
outs at the same time1 and the winners
will be taken to New Tork Immediately
afterwards. : . ' vv..j ;.U :i '':'::
COSTS A LOT, OF MOHET ;
Just because a man wins a contest at
Pasadena does not mean that lje is cer
tain to make the trip across the Atlantic,
for final trials are slated for Boston
around July 17. But at that, those who
do ' score first places : have the "pole"
when the deciding games are held.
It may be that the first and second;
place winners will get the trip to Bos
ton, final settlement being determined on
the time, distances, or heights recorded
by the contestants as compared with
those of other meets. . . ; "

DETROIT. CLUB IS ;
SEEKING ' SERVICES
OF STARS OF COAST
Tigers Have First Claim on Seals
and Beavers and Now Star
Oakland Pitcher.
rpSK ' Detroit Tigers are going to . be
X much Indebted to three. Coast league
teams Portland,,,, San Francisco and
Oakland-r-before the curtain descends on
the 1920 season. t
At present writing the ' Tigers are
seeking the service of Pitcher Carl
Holling of the Oaks,' who seems to be
in bad with the Oaklets because of his
friendship for Rollie Zeider. It is said
that Scout Eddie Herr has boosted Holl
ing to the skies and that Frank Navin
is making ran r effort- to secure waivers
on Infielders Ralph Pinelll and Sammy
Hale, who will be! released, to Oakland
for Holllng'a release. - ; -
Portland tried to land Hale before the
opening of the season, but at that time
waivers could not be secured on the
former Texas -leaguer. It is doubtful if
they can be secured at this time, i.r
The Tigers haveWlrst claim, on San
Francisco's prize ! beauties, Connolly
Kamra and O'Connell, but it is likely
that the first named will be grabbed as
Scout Herr' believes that he will be a
major league star in a couple of seasons.
Kamm's hitting has not -been holding
up, which Ja hurting his stock somewhat.
Lew Blue and George Maisel of the
Beavers have been recommended to
Navin by Herr. ; .
If Detroit graba Blue, Maisel.' Con
nolly and Holling, Navin will have to
part with quite a few- ball players, but
the Detroit boss Is great deal arranger
and ..will probably come through with
flying colors. . 1 .

In the Philippine islands, .from Zam

Baguio. 180 miles' north of Manila, on
the Island of Luzon, 13 golf courses are

the Manila Golf club links and the mu

only nine holes. ; .
.Even Corregidor island., where Uncle

Besides the Manila Golf club and the
municipal links, there are two courses
in the suburbs. At La Loma. just out

BASEBALL LEAGUE
WILL OPEN SEASON
IN FRANCE SHORTLY
Teams Composed of American
Soldiers tor Play; French Clubs
' . . May Enter Circuit
PARI a (By Malt) Prance's first
"major baseball , league", win soon
officially open its season In Paris. ; .
It will begin 'with five all-American
teams from Paris, one froth Romagne
and a sixth from . Brest. Two French
teams, one from Tours and tbe other
from Paris, may be admitted to mem
bership later. -:A
"pennant series" at the end of the
season may be arranged with the winner
of the Rhine' Army of Occupation league.
Games have been scheduled for Satur
day and Sunday of every week through
the season. ; The club grounds will be an
athletic field in the beautiful Bols de
Boulogne. And what is more !
No admittance will be charged. All
Americans in Paris and all French base
ball enthusiasts will be welcome. At
least, that is the plan of the originators
of" the league.. When they see the large
crowds of tourists on the bleachers and
sidelines, however, some fear they will
yield to temptation. '
Thus Paris will have a chance to see
whether it likes baseball as ah attrac
tion and American baseball promoters
to see whether the sport could be stab
lished as a business institution in France.
.The competing teams have been re
cruited ' among the ' various American
military and diplomatic units in France.
The embassy : will enter" one ' team,: the
'Grave-dlggersV . (graves . registration
service, headquarters, - Paris) ," another.
the Red Cross, a third, the American
Legion, and another branch of the O. R.
S. furnishing the fourth and fifth.. The
"Grave-diggers" at Brest and Romagne
have written for as many dates as the
Parts .nine can give them.'-. ,
With this exception there has been no
organised movement to implant baseball
upon FrenchisolL The small boys of
France are - making good use of the
quantities of baseball ' equipment ? left
here by the A. EL F., and when they
grow up may retain their newly so
quired taste.

J lightweight champion, has been
made a alight favorite over Heinle
Schuman for their 10-round decision
fight before the Portland boxinf
commission at the Armory Won J ay
night. .
The Englishman has improved with
every workout and fans have became
more and more Impressed with his rug-
gedness, his hitting ability and his ca
pacity for assimilating rough treatment
without ill-effects. He has shown him
self a glutton for both giving and tax
ing punishment. In his workouts win
Stanley Willis he has exhibited a ri.;:.t
hand that seems deadly.
.Nevertheless, Schuman has a host cf
friends who steadftly believe he wi.l
outpoint the Britisher to signally that
the referee will have no hesitancy in
awarding him the decision. Schuman 1st
undoubtedly clever, undoubtedly rmn
and a hitter of no mean power. He is
boxing dally with the cave man. Perry
Lewis,. who will meet Stanley Willis on
the same card, and the heavier man nan
a world of trouble finding Schuman,
Schuman's ability to duck and weave
his body about at will is a reminder
of Jim Corbett when the pompadoured
Californtan was as lithe as a willow
and as slippery as an eel. The bu!l-
dogglsh Englishman will perhaps ex
perience no end of trouble in his at
tempts to land solidly on Eddie Marino's
boy.

The main event between Echurrsan
and the Englishman Is, of course, th
big card Monday night, but there ere
a multitude who are looking forward
to the fracas" between Toung Brown
and Earl Baird as holding promise ct
being the whirlwind affair of the cara.
Baird. it is said, has greatly Improved,
even over the splendid form he has al
ways shewn here,- and Brown's recent
performance against Joe Gorman in a
local ring are still too vividly reposing
In memory to need rehearsal. Both boys
can box and both boys can and will
fight. Brown has a jruarantee of other
matches if he gets by Baird, with the
possibility of a match with Feather
weight Champion Kllbane later on. Eddie
Shannon will probably be Brown's next
opponent provided Browrl Is succe.-ftful
