"S

ace of the 192r Portland team, may
remain with the Beavera.
Manager Walter McCredle announced
Friday that he will not stand for an un
1rht. unseen trade for his star fllnser.
and Is loath to close the deal that would
. give Sutherland a chance to break into
the majors. J

"I will not let go of Sutherland until I
know what players I am going to get
for him," declared McCredie, after admitting-,
that he had received a letter
from Detroit. "I quit this urtsight, un
seen trading when I was a kid, and De
troft will have to deliver me some Rood
players if they want Suds, and wilt have
to let me know who they are before I
clone the. deal.". ". .
It is not expected that Detroit will
tarry-long; In making its decision to turn
over satisfactory players for Sutherland
as Navln believes he will uncork another
Bagby In the Portlander.
CIVEX BIO BOOST
Henry Bd wards, a Cleveland sport
writer, is quoted as follows in regard to
-Suds" :
"Several years ago, when the Tigers
were on their training; trip, they played
New Orleans and Chattanooga and had
the chance to hit against Bernle Boland,
then with Chattanooga, an'd Jim Bagby
of the Pelicans. Hugh Jennings was
asked to buy the pitchers. He put It up
to some of the players.
"Their advice was for him to purchase
Boland.
" 'Baeby.' they said, 'is just a slow ball
pitcher, and they will murder him In the
blr show.
, "Boland was purchased, and, while he
has done well for Detroit, he has not had
the success BagTy has had with Cleve
land, and the victories .Bagby registers
each year over Detroit have caused the
, players of that team to regret the advice
they handed Jennings In 1914.
"As a result, when Ty Cobb became
manager of the Tigers recently, he said
to President Frank Navin :
'Go and get me a pitcher like Jim
Bagby.' I
"That's ,why- Navhi has purchased
Pitcher Suds Sutherland of- Portland, as
Suds has the reputation of having a
-mysterious slow ball, a crafty, head and
excellent control."

FOR TONIGHT'S GO
Portland fistic fans are expecting to
see a real high class .'battle tonight at
the Armory, when Joe Eagan, the clever
Boston middleweight, tangles with Alex
Tfambitas in a 10-round bout.'
lOagan will enter the ring with a big
weight advantage over the Portland boy
and is probably one of the smartest fel
lows who has appeared here this season.
Trambitas has only youth to offset the
handicap, but is confident of his ability
to, at least, earn a draw with Eagan.
The seat sale for the smoker has been
extremely heavy, according to Bobby
Evans.
Other bouts scheduled are :
Bobby Harper vs. Willie St. Clair,
eight rounds.

500 Idle Men March
Into Restaurant and
Eat Without Paying
Montreal. Quebec. Jan. 21. (U. P.)
Unemployed men here have started- a
campaign to force the owners of big restaurants-
to feed them free, their leader
declared. This campaign was launched
last night, when about 500 unemployed
men paraded through the downtown dis
trict in a quiet and orderly manner, en
tered a restaurant and, seating them
selves at tables, demanded- food. The
management ordered food supplied, at
the same time telephoning the police.
While the men were eating and while
scores were standing outside the res
taurant waiting their turn to ' eat 60
patrolmen arrived and told the crowd to
disperse. Those outside scattered. Those
inside grabbed what food was In sight
and marched from the cafe with pockets
stuffed with sandwiches, bread and fruit,
some carrying pies and others edibles.
'Motorcycle Mike'

Motorcycle Mike and Gasoline Gus,
two emergency, riders, spluttered up to
606 Spokane avenue at 10 o'clock Thurs
day night, perpared to surround a bur
glar seen at work by neighbors, who
called the pojiee.
Cautiously, craftily, the two patrolmen
separated, one to thef back door and the
other to front, to squeeze in together and
catch the marauder at work.
They knocked at the door. A. M.
Thompson, the owner of the hOuse. ap
peared. He had gotten up to take a

Kilbane to
Defend, but
Wants Price
By Westbrook Pegler
(United Xewt Staff Correspondent )
N1
EW YORK, Jan. 21. Show Johnny
Kilbane enough money and he'll let
Jack Dempsey fight for the feather
weight title. For big money he will give
Andy Chaney or Billy de Foe or any
other of these 126-pound New York
featherweights a crack at the champion
ship for which he met Abe Attell at 122
pounds ringside.
"Pardon me if I seem to be laughing,",
said Johnny, as Chaney and Charley
Beepher bounced through their 15-round
fight at the garden last Monday night.
"It's my face it goes that way when I
see these guys trying to go.
OBJECTS TO WEIGHT
'.1 , won the title weighing 122 ring
side. Along comes the New York boxing
commission this year and seeing that the
New York boys are weighing around 128,
which makes them almost lightweight,
raises the limit to 126 pounds at 2
o'clock in the afternoon for a fight at
night. That gives these heavy lads eight
hours and a half to sleep or eat or drink
milk after making the weight, which is
four pounds heavier than it ought to be.
"A champion has the right .to et the
weight for his class. Leonard did it
here in New York and the commission
took his word for it that 135 at 2 o'clock
would be very nobby for lightweights.
The reason was that he's a New York
boy and would have to cut off a leg and
shave two weeka under the skin to weigh
an ounce under 135.
"If they won't let a champion set the
weight then they've got to pay him for
giving away poundage above the figure
he weighed when he won the title. Let
them make me an offer. I've been talk
ing to Tex Rickard and I guess we'll
sign up all right."
WANTS ;0,00 FOR BOUT
Johnny makes brave conversation
about making 122 ringside but he looks
more like a Tweed period alderman than
an old style featherweight champion. Ha
says he weighs 128 now but it wpuld
break most, people to pay a thousand
for every pound he weighs above thati
He will never make 122 ringside again,
but it goes well with his argument to
hark back to the Attell fight.
Kilbane has been asking $50,000 for
meeting Chaney. He will probably get
J30.000 at the most. After knocking off
Chaney he will get the same for split
ting DeFoe and then they may drag in
one or two of the second flight hams to
let him make a thorough cleanup like
Leonard in the lightweight class.
Give him lots of dough .and he will
fight.

By Henry L. Farrell

EW YORK. Jan. 21. (U. P.) The
first round of the Vempsey-Carpen-
tier battle for the heavyweight boxing
championship of the -world may be
fought in the courts.
Harry. S. Hochhelmer, attorney and
guardian of the boxers' interests under
the original contract, has served notice
that he may bring suit against any of
the three promoters Tex Kickard, Wil
liam A. Brady and Charles B. Cochran
who seeks to withdraw his backing
from the $500,000 match. .
As the matter stood today, Brady has
definitely effaced himself, Cochran's po
sition is uncertain and Rickard has de
clared his intention of going through
with the match If he has to stage it
single-handed. The latter expected to
hear from Cochran during the day anJ
expressed confidence that the London
sportsman would abide by the original
articles, of agreement.
HAS SOT WITHDRAWS
According lo advices from London,
Cochran is ill, but has authorized his
secretary to state he had not been offi
cially informed of Brady's withdrawal
and that he stands ready to proceed
with the match under the stipulated ar
rangements providing a purse of $&00,
000. British newspapers, by the way, have
seized upon the tangled situation to pan
to their heartscontent. For iitstance,
the Evening Standard Is quoted as say
ing : i
"t It is true the match has been called
off, the last word has been said in what
skeptics have described as 'the world's
best joke.' While anxious to see the
fight take place, British sportsmen were
sickened by the endless round of .press
agenting an purse boosting. Many
bets ere made months ago that the
fight would never take place."
Rickard said that if Cochran Informs
fcim that he, too, wishes to withdraw,
there are a dozen men anxious to asso
ciate themselves with him, but that lie
would prefer to promote -the match
alone.
MONTREAL- OFFICIALS ARK .
'WILLING TO STAGE BATTLE
By James B. Kelly
Montreal, Que., Jan. 21. (U. P.) The
provincial legislature would be willing
to change the present statutes regarding
boxing If that were all that was neces
sary to bring the Dempsey-Carpentter
match here, according to belief expressed
today by persons well versed in politics
and -sports.
The present provincial and dominion
laws limit boxing to 10-round contests.
If the promoters regarded that as a
sole bar to" 'staging the contest in or
near Montreal, the Canadian and Quebec
governments are sufficiently "liberal"
to wipe out the obstacle, it was said.
As regards the municipal government,
both Mayor Martin and Police Chief
Bolanger are enthusiastic supporters of
all branches of athletics.
PROMOTER HOPEFUL
Persons backing Montreal's claims to
consideration as a site for the title match
point to Its "proximity to large American
and Canadian cities and to the big
French population to whom Carpentier
is a hero.
T. J. Duggan, a local promoter, dis
cussing the fight as a drawing card,
said it would pack any arena that could
be erected here and could be put on at
reasonable expense because of the many
available open spaces close to the heart
jof the city. A likely spot Is the south
bank of the St. Lawrence river, which
is oly a mile from the city hall.
I Cities as distant as Chicago are with
in 24 hours' train ride : then, too, there
is the added attraction for Americans
of Montreal being the only really "wet"
city north of the Rio Grande.

Latest developments in the Dempsey-Cal-pentier
fight promotion tangle have

Officials of the Central Union Trust

that the Dempsey bond Is not In their

next" week, when the Oregon boys will
meet W. 6. C. and Washington.
The first two conference gamiis will bo
played at Salem on Friday and Satur
day . nights against the Willamette
quintet and the armory floor Is similar
to, the! one on "which tha game will be
played In the capital city.
Coach Bohler was fairly ."well pleased
with the work of the team in the two
games against Chemawa last week. The
Indians had H better team than . they
had been rated as having, and two'stiff
games was the result.
Washington Stata is expected "toJ put
up some strong .opposition In the two
games which the varsity will play with
the former at Pullman on next Tuesday
and Wednesday nights. The Cougars
have practically" tha same team they
had last year, having a strong founda
tion of five letter men about which to
build! their team this year. ' They won
one and lost one of the two game series
played against Idaho last week. -
At Seattle, where the Lemon-Yellow
five will meet the Sun Dodgers, another
hard game is expected. Little is known
of the strength of the Washington team
this season, but they are usually relied
upon for a strong Quintet.-
This trip will b the , anly ona . the
varsity will take this season unless a
post season schedule be arranged to
Include Idaho and Whitman tor a series
of games in the north...; ,
