attention to Salem and AstorlJ
rot the next two weeks. At Salem
the Elks, as an en
tertainment feature
of their state con
vention, have ar
ranged one of the
classiest cards that
could be devised.
This is slated for
July 23. , A1 week

the American Le

It with another card
as a side issue to
their second annual convention. Billy
Foy, well known minstrel iman. as

special event McCarthy and ITrambltas
have met often, but the matter of the
better marl has never been settled to the
an edge .by virtue of decisions but later
Trambltas wiped these out by holding
the fighting Harp to a draw. I
. The clever Eddie Shannon 'will meet
Puggy Morton for the fourth time. Both
of these boys are smart ring men and
their bout Is attracting a world of at
tention. Shannon has defeated Morton
twice and has once boxed him a draw.
Both boys will fight all the way. because
neither can afford to lose the fight. A
decisive fight one way or another means
elimination of one of these boys. Shan

CHOICE FOR FLAG
, IN AMERICAN RACE
Beaver Boss Thinks Chicago Will
Win; Essick Predicts First Di
' vision Berth for Beavers. ,
WALTER MCREDIE, boss of the
Beavers, believes that the Chicago
White Sox will be the American league
contenders for the world's championship
this fall.
The tall Spot has faith in the well
balanced: areree-atinn .Iimm . ni.nii
commands and he thinks they 'will fight
weir way to tne top berore long.
Mac made his prediction during a dis
cussion about t"Bh" nnth i h kii
park a week ago, "The WhSta Sox are
my lavomes as tneyre a real fighting
foall fluh and T lnnlr f v. Qm
take New York 'and Cleveland before
Ionr." . . . .
While Mae is a Sox booster, there is
another manager in the Coast league
who thinks iie Beavers are going to
snaae it interesting from some of the
Other clubs before the season closes.
The. ether manager is Bill Essick.
leader of the Ttarem m-hn f f nnin-
ion that Portland will finish ahead of
salt i.au this year. Essick thinks that
the Salt Lake club will crack before the
race is over. . .
Essick was a booster for the Beavers
rn the spring; following his return from
the East when he had interviews with
Frank Navin of the Detroit club, but
then Eeaiek hr.d an idea that Detroit
was going to ship a lot of stars to the
Mackmen.
We hope there's something to Esstck'a
prediction, but about Mae's favoring the
White Sox we woujd,- like to see the
Indians in a fvorld's series. .
Stanley Borleske to
' Coach N. D. Aggies
. Rumors of the reported change in
coaching positions by Stanley Borleske.
former Lincoln high instructor and
. fcrother of the . famous Vincent "Nig"
Borleske. who now is head coach at
Whitman college, have been quieted
, now that Stan has signed a contract for
the 1920-21 semesters at North Dakota
Agricultural college of Fargo. '
The former University of Michigan
Fargo school last year that he has been
. retained at an increase in salary,- It is
f. said. He had a big year In football and
-then came back and developed a win
ning baseball squad, all of which put
him in solid with the' alumni and stu
, dents pf the North Dakota Agricultural
college. ., ' '

LOVERS of amateur athletics of the
United State haven't responded to
the appeal made by the American Olym
pic games committee, as expected. When
the men in charge of arrangements fig
ured out how much It would cost to send
a representative-team in alt branches of
athletics from this country to Belgium
and return It was - conservatively esti

quired. ' -. .. ' :
At a meeting of the executive commit
tee of the .American end of the games
held in New York the first of this week
it was reported that around $60,000 in
cash and pledges had been subscribed In

States taking first in the games, as has
been, the custom for years, are sorely,

That Oregon, and particularly Port
land, has fallen down woefully in offer
ing to back her athletes by giving enough
money to pay their expenses to and fro
wan made clear In a telegram received
from the president of the American
Olympic games committee to T. Morris

quota of $S000 for Oregon was put as low .
an possible, and that to date about $300

Every effort has been made by the

Manager Graham of the Seals sacri
ficed a chance to keep his club in front
by releasing two pood pitchers Tom
Seaton and Casey Smith because of al
leged connections with gamblers. Since
then he has been unable to .strengthen
his staff and now has dropped down to
fourth place. His team has been weak
ened also by the decision of Phil Koemer
to retire because of criticism directed at
him by the newspapers.
ANGELS COME UP
Lios Angeles got away to a bad start,
but. the Angels have kept plugging and
right up in the running. The Oaks fol
lowing their usual jret-away-to-the-front
start dropned. steadily down until they
hit the bottom with a bang but bounced
back into sixth place. : -.-
The Vernon Tigers have never been
below fourth place at the close of any
week during the first half. Essick has a
strong combination of players who are
fighting to overcome Salt Lake's lead.
The Bees are going strong and have
proven to be consistent winners at home
and their success on the road this-season
has been very good. .

record that is very good. Out of seven
series played , away from- home, they
have lost but two, while on their home
grounds, they have won but two series
beating Seattle and Los Angeles.
Seattle, after, many changes, has
taken a -new lease on life and may be
able to climb out of the cellar position
before a couple of weeks. Sacramento is
handicapped to a great extent because
Rodgers' pitchers have not been going
any too good, but that's a thing that
every manager In the circuit can kick
about.

tained a steady clip all season. All clubs

Wilson Made
Bad Showing
In Ring Bout
i
MiddleweighfChampion Did Uc
Show Any Class Against Bart
field in First- Bout.
JEW YORK, July 17. (I. N S.)
Johnny Wilson of Harlem, th
new middleweight champion, made
A rather drab Impression in hla firsl
bout since winning the title from
Michael O'Dowd, the rugged citizen
of St. Pajil.
WHson'a first appearance since beat
ing O'Dowd, and. Incidentally, his first
bout In the metropolitan district as a
topnotcher, was against the veteran,
Soldier Martfield, at Newark.
After 12 rounds of Jabbing, clinching,
side-stepping and swinging with Bart
field, the new Champion was awarded
a popular decision bv the critics at the
Consensus of opinion was that
Wilson had won the bout on points, but
In winning he failed to disclose anything
resembling; latent ability of the variety
that might account for his victory- over
O'Dowd. , 1 . ,
LACKS FINISH
To be frank, Wilson's showing; waa a
disappointment. Some may say that
Bartfisld is the sort of a boner who, be--cause
?f his very awkwardness is 11a--ble
to "make any grood boxer look bad,
but as a matter of fact Wilson failed
to shew the finish that a champion
should have. All he exhibited was. a'
limited ; knowledge of the . grand old
tame. t
.Another point which discounts his
standing- as a champion of the first
water is the fact that he apparently
lacks -initiative and agg-re.ntv"aeM. 116
often Upset. Bartfleld's attack during
their 12-round melee, but having- done
"that he seemed at a loss as to what to
do next, falling- to follow up an advant
age. He also showed a penchant for
clinching: that was unbecoming- a cham
pion. FOECED TO TVLli Ot?AKI
i Wilson, bclnir a southpaw, stands with
his right .hand . and foot extended, yet
Bartfield, on several occaeilona, forced
the champion' to pull in his gmard and
cover up his stomach to avoid his rival's
wicked drives. So his port side "stance"
didn't count for much against the
rufced soldier. .
" Inthe early rounds of the bout Wilson
jabbed cleverly with his extended right
and brought his left into play, using
hoo&s and uppercuta aniecessfully, but
as the. bout wore on he apparently for
got that this style had been successful
In the earlier rounds.
Perhaps Wilson was not himself
against Bartfield. He may have, been
stale- and, as boxers sometimes do, 'he
may have found Bartfield a puzsle that
he couldn't solve- effectively. Yet . crit
icism should only tend to help him Im
prove, and he has plenty of room for Im
provement. 0 -
DEFEXSE IS GOOD
Llke a good many boxers of this day
and age Wilson baa a very good de
fense. His defense in fact. Is more
highly perfected than his offense. But
If he expects to hold the middleweight
championship for any length of time he
will have to burnish up his offensive tac
tics or he will run Into a storm some of
these fine days and come out minus the
title he took from O'Dowd, and that at
the hands of some boxer who may be
blessed with nothing more than aggres
siveness and a stiff wallop. "-. , :
