JOURNAL, PORTLAND, 1 SUNDAY MORNING, AUGUST 29, 1920. 4 Oregon Sportsmen -Are Preparing for the Opening Billy Miske Expepts to Grab Title St. Paul Battler Has Confidence of Winning Heavyweight Hon-, orsj Is Much Stronger. By Billy Mlske g "(WrUl-r, for the Inl-rn.tioM.1 T-i"S.) 'DENTON HARBOR, Mich., Aug. j8(i. N. B.) On Monday, September 6, I expect to win the vtorld's heavyweight boxing cham pionship. On that dat I box Jack "Dempsey, world's champion. I have met him twice before, doing what no other fighter. did going 10 and six round. I was never off my feet. Willie Meehan has holed Dempsey ? s-verM times, always (our rounds, and by his peculiar methods, lasted. Out sids of that, vry other heavyweight in America that ha climbed through the ropes with him has been knocked out. Now lust get this: In 1911 Dempsey flattened 17 out of Jl. and of ths 17 stopped: 12 were finished in one round I artd three more In two rounds. Terry , Kellar lasted five and Billy Brennan :-' six ' rounds. : I "WENT THE LIMIT ' Yet I met Dempsey and went ths limit. I guess that everyone who, saw us fight at the St. Paul Auditorium will say that I fought him. r I did- not run for cover. X fought him. He shook me up in th seoond round with a fearful left, yet I I fought him oft his feet and drove him Into the corner before that same round ended. He cracked roe another big i punch in the seventh round and I shook i it off and came back and made him f break ground before the gong rang. i I am stating these facts to let you "J know that I know how hard he punches, ' whether I can stand his battering ram ; wallops and also fight him back. r I was not well when ; I fought him V In St Paul and very 111 when we boxed 1 the second time tn Philadelphia, yet J some of the newspapers gave me the 1 decision In the second fight. TELLS HOw HE'LL FIGHT Now I am well, m. bigger, heavier and much stronger than ever before in my life. My chances of beating him are ' much better. I will fight Dempsey different than a lot of these fellows. I can outbox him and I can hit Kim. I am not going to let Dempsey back me around, letting loose those terrible hooks Of his. I will box him at times, block off some of his books and bob , down, and when he shoots over one I will com up in close and batter him. If you stand still with Dempsey and lead at him he counters with hooks. He hurts when he lands, and he is bound to land sortie, but this time X am also going to land. Pro. Basketball ' .

(I. N. S.) -The Davis cup, emblematic of the world's highest honors In tennis, Is, perhaps, the most traveled trophy In existence.- During the 20 years In which it has been in competition it has established a1 mileage record that re sembles .the Claims of some manufac turer for his favorite tire. To date its record totals over 36,000 miles and this yeaf the United States hopes to add several thousand to that figure by bring ing it back to these Shores. . This prise for international competi tion has don more to promote general interest in tennis than any other de velopment of the game. Reason for that statement is found in t the numerous home the cop ha had since Dwignt F. Davis Of St. Louis started it On its way in 1900.) Since then its record is: 1900-2 United States. 1903-5 England, 106-11 Australia. . 1912 England. ISIS United States, 114 Australia (no con tests during war), 1919 Australia.

Johnston, for In stance, seeing that as champion he was selected as the first man on the team. His first installment was 2800 miles from San Francisco to New York, where he joined his teammates that had been selected , by the Davis oup committee. The nest leg of his journey was 3100 miles from New York to Antwerp, Never mind th channel crossing ; it' too much like small 'change in ; figuring up this total. England la only bout 300 miles Jong, so he couldn't go very far there, but he tacked on another 2000 mile from England back to th United States. That gives him about 9000 miles, and he is only back to New York. Forget about several hundred mile he will cover from New York to Boston to New port and back . to New York before starting on the big trip back to San Francisco. . That makes 13.000 miles since June andjie Is only well started. Id November he will put on 800 miles going to Vancouver. Then add (100 for the voyage to Auckland, Chalk tip 1200 more to get him over to Australia. The team will cover at least 1000 miles there and will then start on th voyage back to the United State. By th time he gets back to San Francisco he will have reeled Off about 27.600 miles, which is a fatr average for the pjayers who go both to England and Australia.

Wednesday IS tne openms; aay mr ine 192 deer season and it promises to go down in the annals of Oregon sports as the best season in a aecaae, - - Wonderful stories of the plentitude of deer all over the euu have been pour ing; into the headquarters oT the state ti.H n4 sirs commission. .

St. Burghduff, the hunter can't go very far wrong if he hie himself to any of the old favorite snots. The deer are to be found In abundance everywhere. MOTECTIOX HKLP8 some soertsmen grumbled a few year ago when laws , were passed maaing unlawful to hunt deer with dogs, but the excellent results of this law will be readily seen almost any place in tha state. Qame wardens are positive that this law hag made it possible to find good hunting almost any place m Oregon. Of course there are other factors wmcn have entered Into the rapid increase In deer. Th gam wardens ar receiving better cooperation in game - protection work than ever before. Illegal bunting Is not doing a flourishing business. Burned over and lOfrged off lands have Increased in area and In all these sec tions th deer find a better cover and the herds develop more rapidly - than when they were left to the open woods and the hunter. ; BIO XiXKDS IT DOCGLAS ' - i Warden report that food and weather condition have been excellent, with the result that many yearling does are found with fawns. A larger proportion of th herds, too, seem to be big buck. ; ; f ; During the 181 season there was not th usual amount of hunting, because the state had not. quite, passed away from war Influences. The 1818 and -1917 sea sons were the slowest huhttng years tn the history of th state, so there ar many 2 and 3-year-old deer that have escaped the marksman's eye. : - ; . Recently Deputy Warden Daly and Walker of Southern Oregon took a tedious trek from Jackson county through the , mountainous . sections - Of Eastern Jackson and Southeastern Doug- la counties. They reported that there ware great herd of deer to be found everywhere in that section. Sometimes they said they saw 25 and 20 deer in a herd and a few minutes later saw an other herd of similar proportions. AX,I. BSFORTS FAVORABLE" -Reports are filed 'at the headquarters of the gam commission that show Doug- las, . Josephine. Jackson and Coo coun ties to be full of deer. In Tillamook county and especially in th northern section along the Nehalem river, great herds of deer have been counted by deputy game wardens. ' The entire mountainous ' section ' between Portland and the ocean shows, excellent prospect for good hunting.

I and many sub-license quarters have been r TGiiuiias lit nut t j w - license blanks. LAWS ARE PRIWTED Even though th average, sportsman would no more think of going hunting without first arming himself with a copy of the game code, it is to be remembered that: "' '. Only one buck deer with horn may be killed. Huting at night i Illegal. Hunting on gam preserve Is danger ous as well a illegal. Disguising of sex of game may lead to trouble. - Lying in wait for deer near licks is -contrary to statutes. uaine must . not M snot from puouc highway or railroad rights of way. - Aliens must hav a gun license. Two buck deer are the limit for one season. It is also to be remembered that the safest way is to be sure you know what you ar Shooting at. Sometimes when th hunter shoots at ; a moving bush he kills man, and then it is a case of accidental shooting, but at other times he kills an elk and lays himself opart to a minimum fin of , 2200 or a maximum fin of $1000. , It costs only $1.50 for a ? resident hunter's license, while it may -cost you $25 ir you are caught without license in your possession. - The big trek to the hunting grounds will start Monday. - From then on there will be a steady migration to-and fro from the best grounds, but it is best to remember that someone once said "th early bird gets the worm" and that the same axiom applies to deer. However, there are enough to go around if you can't get to the grounds early. - ' "" ' 1 1 ' 1 1 ' 1 ' ... ; ;. tea 1 V fr M 2 Z Zti 53 Hardware company twirling mainstays, Sch warts hasn't donned a : Honeyman suit as yet during the 1920 campaign, but he is liable to get a chance to enter th box next Sunday afternoon when Honey man tangle with Multnomah J3uard.

Poor Bouts Being Made For Sports Dempsey-Smith and Leonard Sheppard Two Contests That Promoters Plan to Put Over. ? '.;,:;-. By Bob '. SOME things are past belief, even If we lean to extreme cherity in our views. .One of the things which pssseth understanding at present is the report that Gunboat Smith ha been matched to meet Champion, Jack Dempsey. ' ' I am from Missouri alviut this. 1 don't believe the promoter livs, whether ha be blind, lame or halt, who would fore such a fight on a public which has been always too tolerant of fake bouts -of every description and kind. FlfED TOOK TWO FALLS . Those of us who saw Clunner lot two falls to Fred Fulton at MilwanKie-last winter and are familiar with his capers In and around San Francisco know thai he might attract more attention posing an a crippled and dilapidated carder.er than he would as an aspiring priM fighter. - . . Gunner is In much the same pfltl0" as that occupied by poor old Peter Mhci a score of years ago. when everybody In the land was whaling the wits out ol him. An Injunction from a humane so ciety stopped Peter from indulging le more fights. . An injunction ought to ne mvoKeo against Ounboat Smith, if there is trutfc in his reported match against Dempsey It Is more reasonable to believe tnai mc story of the proposed fight was put on the wlr by th office-boy or that Gun ner and his manager slipped it through when the watchdog was asleep. FASS WILL SCFFEtt - However, there are rumblings In the press dispatches which indicate that the -fight-loving public is to be swampad and drowned -with many other bum matches. News of the proposed Gun boat Smith - Jack Dempttey bout had scarcely died in its echo when our ears were focused on the report that Benny Leonard Is to fight on Johnny Phep pard, an English lemon and ham-and-efeger that was ruahed on the Portland public just before the boxinu game was forced into slumber at the end of its last year's rally. There Is as much opportunity foi some humane society to call for an In junction against a Sheppard Leonard flrht a there Is for a restraining- ordet against Dempaey's slaughter of the an- ' clent Ounner. Those of us who saw Heinle Schumann, who himself has been twice defeated by Eddie Shannon, chop Sheppard to pieces at the Armory, know that Sheppard is not in Leonard's clast as a fighter and is scarcely good enough to make a sparring partner for the cham pion In an exhibition. Sheppard showed nothing in th Schumann fight except a willingness to stick his f.-vc in the way of Very blow nt In hi direction. If was merciful for the visiting Bhrlneri and for Sheppard in particular, tha Leonard did not come here, as was a first planned.ao fight Shoppard, for th bout would have ended fatally. forth boxing game at least, If not for Shep pard himself. WE'VE HAD EM How Eastern, promoters and Eastern fight fans, who are supposed' to be wiser . in these matters that w of the Went, can stomach these Hl-advlsed, uneven matches is beyond comprehension. When we out here are treated to such unbal anced fights, as we have been oeca- . sionally, we have squealed to hish heaven In our misery and asked sur cease. Many of us recall two such odor lferous pills that we wer made to swallow shortly after boxing was roused -from Its slumber. A boy named Paul . was brought here, supposedly from Den- -ver. to battle Billy Maocott, and he proved to be too rank for the amatur class; He was stopped in -seven rounds after much disgusting pantonrim3. Then, later on, a boy named Jimrny Mar-hall, supposedly from Los Angeles, crept in on . us as a headllner and met Heinle Schumann In a main-event st Milwau kee. That fight was stopped in the sec ond round, after Marshall had shown that he knew nothing about a pair of gloves. Neither Paul nor Marshall was ever heard of before or after his Port land appearance, and the men who foist ed them on us and profited by It were lucky to escape with mere verbal roast ing. We are charitably trying to forget -and forgive those fiascoea in the hope that no more such impositions win be put on Us. Such matches do the g-.me absolutely no good and the men who make easy money out of them should wake up and realise it. . . FROM OVER THE BORDER From Nofiales, Ariz., word comes that the old bull' ring across the line in No gales, Mex., . ha been reclaimed ati-l turned into a ring for boxers and that th first 45-round bout will feature Harry Mansell, Kngliah bantam, and Ralph Lincoln, birthplace and record unidentified. The mere proposal that 45 rounds are required to settle the qu-a-tlon of upreroacy between Harry Man Kit and another boxer of his caliber staggers the imagination. Mansell per formed In Portland not long ago against Sammy Gordon in a six-round curtain raiser and, after doing fairly well for four rounds, was so tired at the end of . the sixth that he nearly dropped walk ing back to bis corner. Forty-five rounds for Harry Mansell ! That seems fit companion for report of th Smlth Dmpey and Leonard-Sheppard fights. i Famous Red-Leg Is Dead , Old River, Mas., Aug. 22. Fred Pen nelly, who, as shortstop, made baseball s history while on the Cincinnati club 30 years ago. died very suddenly here. He was said to be one of the greatest all a round shortstops that ever graced the diamond. - filler: ft "ou pay la j:? XlA IB - J
