Sam Langford Gains Decision in Foot Race .'. Buckeyes Made Favorite Over California,
Barry Loses
Decision to
"Tar Baby'!
By O tor it Berts ;
rpHE Portland boxing commission
staged a boxing: card at the Armory
Wednesday night
The biggest crowd of the season was
present : " -
The new seating arrangement was
great . . ,
The congestion at' the entrances was
. bad.. :.
- The best bout of the smoker was the
curtain raiser.
The best race was run by Jimmy
Barry. : .
The decision of Referee Francis In the
Eagan-Darcy bout was booed tor many
minutes.
CBOWB WAS INSUBED .
The commission insured the crowd
against accidents with an unlimited
policy with Lloyds.
The policy cost 2S0.
The new seats, at least some of them,
had wet paint on them. ,
The movie actor, Frank Keenan, was
present but left early. .
The tallest man on the card was
Farmer Lodge. ' i
The. cleverest boxer was Joe Eagan.
The smallest mixer was Ray Rose.
The entire commission, save J. O. Con
vill, was present s
The posts gave way when the big fel
lows. Lodge and Herman, backed- into
the ropes.
The cad was fair.
The orchestra failed, to put in appear
a nee. -I
The Astoria heavyweight, "Tiny" Her
man, was not knocked out he gained a
victdry, ,
The veteran, Sam Langford, failed to
.register a;"K. O."
LAKGFOSO TRIED HIED
In the main ' bout, Barry, . the Call
fornian, displayed that he had a won
derful ,,palr of legs and was in tip top
shape, j He ran the Boston "Tar Baby"
ragged ; that Is, 8am was -pretty tired
after following Barry around the well
resin ed ring (or 10 miles, or rather
rounds.
Langford won the decision. He tried
to win by a knockout, but Barry evi-
. dently i must have an iron jaw and a
well-muscled mid-section, for some of
Barn's heaviest punches failed to put
him down. , . ,
Barry was well coached. He sure
kept away from Langford during the
' early part of the bout and did not land
a solid blow until about the' fourth
round.' In the latter part of the con
test Barry did a little leading and
landed some hard blows, but they did
not seem to bother Sam. Langford
jarred .Barry several- times In the last
couple of rounds, but Barry was wise
enough to hang on tight and always had
his guard up to prevent' Sam from hook
ing him on the break. Langford had
the- best of every round but the eighth,
which was even. ;: -i.-,--f-
-EAGAX SHOWED CLASS v
Joe Eagan gave one of the cleverest
exhibitions of boxing witnessed hare in
many moons. In fact it was so good
' that nine tenths of the fans believed he
was entitled to the decision, and gave
Referee Francis' draw decision the
berry. Egan ducked away from Darcy's
wild swings with ease and blocked many
of his straight punches. .-
Trambitas forced the milling all the
way. He tried to land a knockout but
could not connect Eagan, who boxes
a great deal like Mike Gibbons, had a
snap to his punches' that hurt On
points, Eagan won by a mile. It was
Just the kind of a bout Englishmen
would go wild over, but one of those
that fails to meet with the approval of
Portland ring fans. The matching of a
good, clever man against a slugger al
ways results In an unsatisfactory con
test here and it was proved again in
this encounter. '
HERMAN "WI5S 05E
"Tiny" Herman outpointed Farmer
Lodge, the big Minnesotan. Herman .H,
a big man, but this fellow Lodge has
It on him for sire, but that -was, all
Herman's experience proved too much
for Lodge, Oiodge has a lot to learn
about fighting. He has a good pair of
long trmi, but about the only thing
he knows is to swing 'em, and half the
time he forgot to do that. If Lodge
could punch straight he would do some
damage. Lodge knows how to protect
himself In the clinch. - .
"Tex" Vernon and Baby Blue battled
six rounds to a draw. Vernon failed
to mix it with Blue as he did against
Eddie -Gorman a fortnight ago. Blue
did most of the leading and in the fifth
round rocked Vernon during a furious
mix. In the final canto Vernon did a
fancy fox trot while Blue bored In.
hoping to win.-.
GORDOX AND BOSE DRAW
.Sammy .Gordon and Ray Rose put up
a great eix-round bout It was called a
draw. Rose landed on Sammy's Jaw in
the first round that Jarred the Port
lander and after that Sammy stepped
along in great style, staggering Rose
In the fifth with a left hook. They
mixed in hurricane fashion in the last
round.
American Tennis
Players Win First
; Round in Net Play
Auckland, N. Z., Dec 30. (t N. S.)
As a result of the victories of Wil
liam El TUden II and William M.
Johnston over Norman E. Brookes and
Gerald Patterson yesterday, the -Ameri
cans need but one more match to carry
the - famous .tennis trophy back to the
States. -
Today the American stars will face
Brookes: and Patterson In the doubles
match, .-and tomorrow, the concluding
singles matches, with Brookes playing
Johnston and Tllden meeting Patterson
will he nlaved.
The decisiveness of Johnston's defeat
of Patterson was the surprise of
Wednesday's matches. The California
player won from his opponent in
straight sets. 6-3. 6-1, 6-1. Tilden's vic
tory over Brookes, 10-s, -
was rather expected, though the inter
national champion was forced to extend
himself bv the veteran Australian. Til
den's slashing service was the deciding
factor in this match and bis youta ana
reserve strength played Its part
Johnston's perfect execution of a va
riety of strokes, coupled with a tricky
erviee and keen generalship, caused
the utter rout of Patterson. -
Ohio State
Favored to
Win Big Qame
"PASADENA. Cat, Dec. 30. (U. P.)
With the great IntersecUonal grid
iron battle between Ohio State and Cal
ifornia but two days away, considerable
even money was being wagered today
that the Buckeye will triumph by at
least seven points.
: California adherents had been so con
fident of a Western victory that for some
time the nriria u.i- ,R,.. n i ....
hot the Bears. Then the snlendidlv
trained Ohioans appeared on the 'ground.
Snap and fire exhibited by the Eastern
ers caused Pacific coast backers of the
Berkeleyitee to become more .discreet
and today, it was reported, nruch even
money was being placed. t
OHIO IDE POWERFUL
Some California experts have doped
the Bruins to win because of the class
of their substitutes, 'but coaches and
football experts In general seem to be
of the opinion that the Berkeley eleven
will be unable to pierce the powerful
linefaf the Columbus aggregation.
Hard practice In preparation for the
battle had ended today, and footballers
of the rival universities are scheduled to
exert themselves only enough to keep In
trim until they trot onto the field in
their fighting togs Saturday afternoon.
Ohio's baffling last-minute offensive
will be pitted against California's steady,
dogged aggressiveness. Both elevens
have relied much on the forward pass
for the majority of their scores.
TRICK FLATS CEBTAIK
Each is known to have spent much
time perfecting on "anti-aircraft" de
fensive. That trick plays, novel forma
tions and Inside football will be given a
whirl is certain.
Seating capacity of the big wooden
stands has been enlarged to accommo
date 42,000 spectators. This wilPbe the
largest crowd ever to witness, a football
game in the West
The last chance to obtain seats will be
offered to t public just before the start
of the game Saturday, when 2500 seats
will be sold - for . 32.20 each. A mad
scramble is looked for.

iMdist Ball
Hurlers to .

NEW YORK. Dec 80. (1. N. S.) Spit
ball , pitchers In the major leagues
who were nominated to use the "moist
delivery" during the 1920 season will be
permitted to continue until they outlive
their usefulness, according to indications
today. V
"The National league is in favor of
permitting the veteran pitchers of the
spitball to remain, and, as I recall it the
American league has recommended that
such pitchers be allowed to continue the
use of the delivery," said President John
Heydler of the National league, today,
discussing the statue of "spitballers" re
garding which there - has been i some
doubt '.v " ; ' ; "
"The matter of giving the ' spitball
pitchers who were nominated to use the
delivery in 1920 official sanction to con
tinue its use must come before the rules
committee," he continued. "All we have
to do will be to change, the footnote in
the rule covering the spitball and add
the names of the players in question."
This question will come up for action
at the Chicago meeting next month. ?
When the major league took action
eliminating the spitball after 1920, the
16 clubs were given permission to natrw-
the pitchers considered eligible to coh
tinue its use last season. The American
league nominated 10 players and the Na
tional league 11. This number, however,
has been reduced.
Of the pitchers originally named." the
following probably will be designated If
the rules committee carries out the sug
gestion:
American league Faber; Chicago ;
Coveleskle and Caldwell- Cleveland ;
Leonard and Ayers, Detroit; Shocker, St.
Louis ; " Quinn, New. York, and Russell,
Boston. --C--' .
National leagues-Rudolph and Fillin
gim, Boston; Mitchell and Grimes,
Brooklyn ; Doak. Goodwin and Tuero, St
Louis ; Douglas, New York ; Fisher, Cin
cinnati : Gallia. PRKaderohia.' '
TSddte Cicotte, ,one of the eight Indicted
White- Sox players, ahd Claude Hendrix
of the Cubs, were orgilnally among the
nominees. Cicotte, because of his own
admissions, will never be permitted to
play' professional baseball again. Hen
drlx is in disfavor with the Chicago Cubs
and probably will not appear again on a
major league diamond.
Seattle Wins Hockey Game
Seattle. Dec 30. Fifty seconds' over

one Controversy
The Portland Telegram, in the issue of December 23,! 1920, commented in an cdi
torial under the above subject, as follows: v . . '
"It is held almost universally, that the user of a public utility is obliged to
pay the utility, " , " -
. r . (i ) a rate sufficient to enable the utility to'pa a good wge; .
(2) to keep the plant up to 100. per cent efficiency , ; , T
(3) to provide a fair return on capital wisely invested."
The Telephone Company in its present application before the Public Service Com-1
mission of Oregon is asking for increased rates to accomplish these three things, ' '
The Telephope Company is not asking its subscribers or the general public to pro
vide funds to make extensions of plant or secure thenecessary material and equipment
to reach new subscribers. If the rates will providers faif return on its capital invested
it can go into the money markets of the world ancf borrow money to invest in new :
plant necessary to meet the demands for telephone service in Oregon. If it cannot se- .
cure a fair return on the capital invested it cannot procure .this money and therefore ,
cannot make these extensions. This situation was admitted by the Telephone Company
with entire candor before the Public Service Commission. This admission could not jv
be construed as a threat that it will do no more construction work in Oregon. It was a .
statement of fact. It is a natural consequence of its inability to secure sufficient return
on its investment to enable it to borrow money. The Telephone Company is anxious
that the public shall not be confused in this matter. The Telephone Company will be .'
enabled to take care of its construction program provided it receives a proper and suf
ficient return on its-capital now invested in the State of Oregon. .
