Newspaper Page Text14 THE OREGON DAILY. JOU RNAL, PORTLAND: OREGON.; THURSDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1820. Boston "Tar Baby7' Given a Drubbing by Langford, in Poor Shape, Loses Bout -.. By 0orr Berts TJ70BBLINQ around the ring like a i" duck and punching" with Inaccur .acjr and poor time, except In clinches, Sam Langford, once the moat (eared heavyweight In the world, lost a 10 round decision to Lea Anderson, a fel low countryman of San Francisco, Wed nesday night before a capacity house in the Heille- theatre. The Lang-ford that squared off with Anderson was not the same one who put "Tiny" Herman away In seven rounds two weeks aj?o. He was not In condition to put up the same klndof a battle. His judgment of distance was poor and his famous left hook appeared to (lance off Anderson's jaw. DESERVE! CBKD1T This is not said to discredit Ander son's victory. Outweighed by at least 29 pounds, Anderson, who claims to be 17 years old, put up a great battle. His footwork and varied attack was all that could be asked of a light heavy weight against a heavyweight. He pulled rope tricks against Langford re peatedly, but If Langford was in shape to mix In his old time form this style of attack would not have been successful. In the writer's opinion, Langford could beat' Anderson easily If he were In condition to fight. Anderson owes his victory to his ability to keep his head. Once or twice when Langford did J and solid punches Anderson showed a tendency to lose his head, but warn ings from his corner straightened him up. CUT BOTHERS AIM Langford was bothered during the last three rounds with a badly out left eye. The cut was opened in the seventh round with a terrific right cross. - Anderson boxed in great style In the first round. Ho hit Sam often, using a left to the stomach and face and shoot ing In a right cross occasionally. It Mas Anderson's round by a big margin. Lantfford rocked Anderson with a left hook to the jaw In the second round. This punch took the pep out of Ander son for a minute, but he came back with a hard right swing and Langford re taliated with three rights to the face. Langford played a tattoo on Anderson's Stomach as the round ended. : Anderson rallied In the third and landed often with both hands. Battling Off the ropes. Lee landed hard lefts and right and his fleetness of foot enabled him to avoid being. hit. MAKES A SPURT Langford started to work on Ander son's mld-sction In the clinches In the fdurth, but could not reach him, Ander son standing off and boxing. Anderson landed hard left and right swings and put over a left to the Jaw at the bell. The round was Anderson's but in the ttext Langford began doing a little forc ing and had a margin as the bell rang. 1 landed pome pretty hard punches on -Anderson's body . In the Hixth and seventh rounds both were landing a number of punches. In the eighth Anderson oaiiKht Sam with a terrific right cross that opened a cut ' ver the left eye. He followed this up with several lefts to the face from long range and not until the middle of the round did Langford innd. TIp did plant St Stiff left hook on Anderson's jaw. )LAjroFOBU ;ro;gy r Anderson appeared to be tiring, but - feept on outpointing Sam as the bout ti eared Its end. Langford appeared froggy as he went to his corner at the od of the ninth round. He had been punished badly In this round, Anderson hitting with everything he possessed. In the tenth Langford opened with a left hook to the stomach and repeated with one to the Jaw, but Anderson was con lent to stand off and box him and had the last round easily. Langford knew that he was beaten when the final bell -ang. ' Weldon vVing was presented with a draw by Referee Francis in his eight round mix with Al Grunan of I.ox An geles. It was the second gift that Wing had been presented with this season, and the fans are beginning to wonder what's what. Crunan shaded Wing In the first round and also in the final - canto. It is true that Wing did the leading. That Is his style of battling, but every time that he did he ran Into a stiff counter punch. BLUE EAST WIXRER - When Baby Blue was awarded the de cision over Allle Taylor the fans howjed their disapproval, but if ever a boxer was beaten it was Taylor. Blue missed many puncheH in the early rounds, but Inflicted great punishment. Taylor was up against a handicap In weight and ; experience. Kddle Oorman. a greatly improved battler, was handing; George Brandon a terrific lacing when Referee Francis stopped the bout in the fifth round. Brandon's grit was all that saved him. He took everything Gorman had to offer ancl came back for more. , One punch ended the curtain raiser. George Ragles putting "Sper" Wood away in lens than 20 seconds. The card pleased the fans. Judge McCredie Has Measure to Stop Evil Aided by his experience as a legis lator and a Judge, William Wallace McCredie of the Portland Beavers has drafted a - measure against the throw ing of baseball games. This measure will be presented to the Count league meeting next ween for approval.

Borton Says A Bribe Was Offered Bee LOS AVGELES. Cal.. Oct. 21. (U. P.) Following what was declared to have been substantiation of charges that Salt Lake players were paid for "throw ing games to the Vernon club last year, through testimony of Ilarl Maggert, dis charged outfielder of the Salt Lake team, the county grand jury will re sume its investigation of the Coast league baseball scandal Monday. Maggert'a testimony yesterday, was said to have supported charges of "Babe" Borton that he had paid Mag gert several hundred dollars about two weeks before the end of last year's sea son. It was this alleged crooked base ball which allowed Vernon to win the pennant, Borton charged. Maggert today denied that he had any knowledge that the money he received might have come from so-called "sure Jhlng gamblers." It was part of a "slush und" raised by Vernon players, he be lieved. Other witnesses, who appeared Wednesday, were Chester Chadbourne, Vernon outfielder ; Jack Cook of the Salt Lake club, Byron Houck, Vernon pitcher, and Kd O'Malley, L9S Angeles baseball writer. Al Devormer, Vernon catcher. who has been called home on account of lllnecs, related , his side of the story to a stenographer. William Rumler, former Salt Lake out fielder, will bo called within a few days, Stafford said. That indictments against "sure thing" gamblers will be returned by the grand Jury seemed certain today, although Stafford refused to make predictions. Whether ball players alleged to have been involved In dealings with gamblers will be Indicted seemed an open question. The charges of an alleged "slush fund" made by "Babe" Borton have not Vet been substantiated by other wit nesses before the grand jury, it was learned. "Babe" Borton has made public a statement through Griffith Jones, his attorney, in which he admitted the truth of an allegation that he had attempted to lrlt? former Catcher Spencer of the Salt Lake team In 1919, declaring, how ever, that there' was a discrepancy In the sum mentioned. "I offered Spencer $500 and not $1700 as was reported. The $500 was offered as a bribe to Spencer to throw the aeries and was not offered in connection with any gambling proposition," Borton stated McCarthy to Appear San Francisco, Oct. 21. (I. N. S.) When President William H. McCarthy of the Pacific Coast Baseball league left for Los Angeles last night to appear be fore the grand jury there investigating gambling, he will lay before It a letter received from Mrs. Ed Spencer, wife of the former Salt Lake catcher. "Tub" Spencer, in which the charge is made that "Babe" Borton offered him a $1700 bribe. The letter was received by an official of the San Francisco baseball club.

UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON HAYWARD FIELD, ECGE5E SAT., NOV. 232:30 P. M. ADMISSION I1.M Two Stars to I Be Marked in j Big Contest By Jack Veloek, tntsmatinnal Srwm Mimrta WAitnr NEW YORK, Oct. 21 (I. N. 8.) Two players who will make their initial bows in "big league" football stadiums next Saturday will be watched with un usual Interest by close followers of the game. M'MILLAK A WOKDEB One of these young: men is "Bo" Mc Millan, captain and all-American quar terback of the Center college football eleven, who will lead his. team against Harvard at Cambridge. The other Is Carl Beck. West Vir ginia's blonde tornado, whose playing has featured every game the mountain eers have played this season. The wonderful all-round playing of McMillan, which won him the 1919 all American quarterback position, is too well known for recounting here. Suffice It to say that he is just as brilliant as ever both at carrying the ball and run ning bis team and that Harvard's play ers will have their hands filled keeping him away from their goal line! Center's record so far this seaspn with a total of 24S points scored in three games, reflects McMillan's ability and generalship and many football enthusi asts from the South' will be in Boston to watch their Idol play. BECK IS BIG STAR At New Haven, where the Mountain eers and Bulldogs are slated to tangle, young Carl Beck will be a marked man. The blonde back of the Morgantown eleven has made a reputation that has preceded him and , the Yale players. stinging under the memory of the de feat handed them by Boston college. will keep this young man in mind. Beck, because of his reputation, may not get the chance to shine for West Virginia as he has previously done. He is the player who made a 65-yard ran against the Pittsburg Panthers earlier in the season and tore off a 30-yard run in the same game. If West Virginia had more like him It would be a Moun taineer football year. Anglers to Discuss Game Laws Friday Anglers who have some suggestions to offer as to changing the present fish and game laws of the state are request ed to be on hand at the regular month ly meeting of the Multnomah Anglers' club to be held Friday night In the Oregon building. Fifth and Oak streets. The biennial session of the Oregon leg islature is set for January, and be cause of the fact that the local anglers' club Is the largest organisation of Its kind in the state, the Multnomah county delegates to Salem are likely to care fully consider any suggestions regard ing fish and game laws suggested by the Rose City men.

Secretary Jack Herman says there are plenty of advo cates on each side of the various ques tions, and all interested in angling propositions are Invited to be on hand at 8 o'clock.

The Mechanics won from James John high 34 to 0. Coach Philbrook had his line from end to end working like Trojans and there wasn't a weak spot, apparently, when it came to charging and opening holes for the fast backfield. The winners scored all their points in the first three quar ters. The work of Wagner and Ermler, the James John ends, was the outstand ing feature in the Saints' play. Time after time the little fellows were down under punts nailing the receiver in his tracks and it was only after the inter ference was able to dispose of the two ends that Benson was able to gain from 10 to 15 yards on a return. Cover and Maloney each scored touch downs in the first period and Captain Colt converted the goal kicks. Cover again came through with six points in the second stanza and Colt kicked goal, making the total read 21 to at the end of the half. Peters registered the first score soon after the second half opened and the final touchdown came when Right End Peters picked up a fumble and ran 40 yards to the goal line.

WWw Minors Will Support the j Lasker Plan By Henry L. FarreU (Caked Prew Staff Correspondent.) NEW YORK, Oct 21. (U P.) In the harried dash for the support of the minors, John A. Heydler and the 11 club owners who follow him seem to have won them over to their idea, of new baseball. At present only two courses are open to Ban Johnson and his "faithful five." They must either join the Heydler fac tion before November 1 or start on a quest of three new clubs to fill their league. Without the support of the minors this would be almost hopeless. Three new clubs would require at the very least 45 players and the five clubs remaining with Johnson In the present controversy are not sufficiently fortified la power and numbers to divide their strength. WANT CLE ATT GAME It therefore seems that the odds in a fight to a decision will go upon the teams that the minors fall in behind. Two minor league heads have aligned themselves with Heydler in his cam paign for a change in baseball's govern ment, in messages to the writer. 'The majority of the minors favor the Lasker plan, with a few reservations. . "I am strong for Comiskey and clean baseball," J. W. Morris, president of the Texas league, wired today. "I do not believe the American league should be disorganized or dis rupted." wired William H. McCarthy, That's why Spur Cigarettes have won. There are plenty of cigarettes of merit, some claiming one pleasing: feature, some, another. But there was room at the top for a still betterjdgarette one that had all the goodness of the others" and then9 some.

"But I do strongly ad vocate get-together policy which will eliminate the differences of the past and produce a plan, whether it be the Lasker or the present agreement changed, to remedy whatever Ills that exist" MAKT BACK MOVEMENT "Concerted action will be taken by the minors when the major league commit tee, presents its plans at our annual meeting in Kansas City November 9. 10 and 11." said J. II. FarreH. secretary of the National association. The National league chief has been assured of support by other minor. league heads, including Walter Rose. Florida state league ; M. A. Cantillon, South Da kota league ; Frank Mlley, Western Can ada league ; J. V. Jamleson. Blue Ridge league, and J. C Lechter, Western asso ciation. Although Thomas Hlckey. president of the American association, has not ex pressed himself, his stand may bo In fluenced by the following of his club owners who have wired their endorse ment to Heydler: William C. Smith, In dianapolis; Otto Borchert, Milwaukee; Roger Bresnahan. Toledo : George Muel bach, Kansas City ; George K. Belden, Minneapolis, and W. W. Knebelcamp, Louisville. Scores of messages have. tecn received from others, large and small, among the minors and amateurs. Yanks Abandon Stadium Plan New York. Oct 21. (U. P.)
