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.

U. S. Tennis Stars Hope to Win Again
NEW YORK, Aug. 28. (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.
TEAMS HAKE ItECOBDS
Were it not for the fact that the
cup ha been held several years in suc
cession by each of the winning nations,
the figure of as.ooo mile would be
much higher,; for team In this compe
tition have gone well over 100.000 miles.
While the oup has been establishing
this i reputation . as a - much-traveled
piece of silver, the , teams that have
been pursuing it have hung up several
mileage records of their own. The one
that will represent the United States
in the challenge round In Australia next

TRAVELED MAS? M1LES
Take William , M. 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.

From the reoerte received by Captain
A. 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.

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. -

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
