THE OREGON SUNDAY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, SUNDAY' MORNING, MARCH 1$, 1021. Two Courses to Be Used During P. N. G. A. -Titles -. Winged "M" Constructing Couf t . Golf Tourney To See Many Innovations ft LREADT ' golfers" throughout the Northwest are seeking informa tion relative to the twenty-first an nual tournament of the Paclfia Northwest Golf association, which U , scheduled to be held In Portland under the auspices of the vVaverly V Country club during; the week of June 20 to 25. . With the announcement that Wal ter E. Pearson will be chairman of the tourney committee and the se lection of C. Harry Davis Jr. and - A. 8. Kerry as -his assistants, plans i for the coming; gathering- are - fast materializing:, although the session Is a little more than-three months ".away. ". . ! "' 'i ; The 1931 tournament will be different s t from any of the previous annual affairs T In several respects. Two courses wUl be used at least the first three days of - the coming- competition. It having: been decided to take over the Portland Golf club course as well as the Waverley Country club links. . SO OPE STENT The customary open championship has been eliminated 'from the 1921 prog-ram and it may be that the affair will take - place at a separate tourney later In the season. Of all the chances the most radical which Vas foreseen necessary at Vancouver, B C-, last year waj made In the P. N. G. A., amateur champlon - ship. The amateurs, for the first time, will be split In two divisions, one In which the amateur title will be settled and the other to be known as the handicap championship. All golfers with a p, N. G. A.-rattogr of a 9 handicap or less will be eligible for the amateur honors, while all with handicaps of 10 or more will be scheduled in the handicap con .: tests. i t ( The amateur will be played from scratch throughout, while play - In the handicap class, will be on handicap, both as to medal qualification and match Play.' . i ' . - . - , DAVIS CTJP OX TTJE8DAY V It is the idea of the committee to use the , Portland. Golf club course for the handicap matches on June 20, 21 and 22, and then to transfer the play to the Waverley links. The amateur championship rounds will be held at Waverley throughout the week, as will the women's championships. , There will be 38 holes of medal play on Monday at Waverley, followed by IS holes for the first round en Tuesday. After that first round, all subsequent ' rounds will be at 36 boles. The reason for scheduling- only IS , holes for the first round. Is to relieve congestion the opening day of competition and in that way it will afford an opportunity to play the C. Harry Davis Jr. trophy matches. The Davis cup affair is, one of. the most noted team plays on' the Pacific coast and considerable rivalry exists between the various golf clubs. All amateur, women's and handicap finals' and first flight finals, will be played Saturday. The finals in the sec ond and additional flights will be played Friday. .' . v Special : events for - all the men,' Including- handicap match ' play against bogey, two ball foursomes, mixed foursomes-and men's handicap will be pro vided for the last four days of the cham pionships meeting. For the Women there will be mixed foursomes and a handicap medal play.- - With putting-, all week there will be .' the usual Wind-up of championship driv ing and approaching for men and for women on .Saturday. -.; , .

Champion of Lightweights Keeps Chalking Up Kayos NEW YORK, March 2. (t. N. S.) , Benny Leonard, the ideal Cham pionl j As champions go, this is true of Leonard in a strict sense. There have been few champions of the last decade who jjiave; defended their titles as often as Benny, and fewer still who have so consistently proven their claims to class. The new year Wa. but two Weeks old when 'Leonard inaugurated his 1921 cam paign at Madison Square Garden by knocking out Richie Mitchell, one of his foremost rivals, In six stirring rounds. What a battle that was! And what a triumph for Leonard ! ; j Nearly as important as his victory over Mitchell, from a public standpoint. was the fact that Leonard .weighed in at 114 pounds for the Milwaukeean, prov ing- to the world that he is still a legiti mate lightweight. And he also proved that he can take a punch and come back for more." :?'!' t '';-.- -" -i- ' ; 'Leonard's erstwhile critics are silent how. Those who panned him, contend-" ing that he should step out Of the light weight class Into the welter division have no comeback, jf or Leonard stands su preme. During the present- winter, the Brbnx boy established a record under the hew ' Walker boxing law : Of New Tork. He defended his title in three bouts, and m each of the three he was credited With a knockout victory. His opponents were Joe Welling, Harlem Ed die Kelly and Richie Mitchell. "And how," Leonard says, "bring ori the reat of them.- I will meet any boxer who Is deserving of a chance at the lightweight title. "I have been boxing for eight years and since I became Champion I've been kept fairlybusy. When 1 won the title I made up my mind to give every for midable foeman a chance. I have tried to do so.' There Is -one exception Lew Tendler. . "It has been no fault of mine that Tendler and I have not met. He has been telling the world for several years that he wanted to meet the. But when it came down to brass tacks a discus sion of weights, forfeits, etc-- be wasn't there. I will meet Tendlef any time he agrees - to make the lightweight limit and post a substantial forfeit. And this goes for any of the others. Leonard hopes and expects to have a busy. -year. He would like to finish cleaning up the lightweight division a task that he has Very well under way- before 1921 rolls around. ' And theft t Perhaps he will retire. He is the pro prietor of 'a thriving automobile acces eory business in New Tork and he plans td go On the stage as well. Jf he Suc ceeds in disposing of all challengers duf ing the present year he may step down and out, though it Is known that be has an ambition to become a double cham pion and is thinking of venturing into the welterweight division in search of honors. t ; - BERTH SEEMS SAFE The outlook for eonard'a holding tightly to the lightweight crown during rpROTTlKCl horse racing Is governed JL by the following associations: Amer ican Trotting f Register, American Trot ting, National Trotting, Union Trotting, Canadian National Trotting, Canadian Standard-Bred Horse, society. Pacific Coast Trotting, . American Trotting Horse Breeders and Harhesa Horse- as sociation, i : - The army may establish a big . pole center at Camp Dix, N. J.

If pound ball down one of the 16 alleys in an effort to win some of the cash prizes. TUESDAY the year is 8ne-sided, in his favor. The aspirants to the championship he holds are AUfperous enough, but as compared to Leonard in his present superb form and potency as the boss of his class they apparently stand little chance of de throning him. All of the leading light weight contenders are in the United States, incidentally, and as Tendler is the only one he haa not met and defeated it appears that a meeting between these two will be the biggeet event of the year in the 135-pound division, i ' - - j ,3 Leonard haa repeatedly beaten Johnny Dundee both In long and short bouts, and has proved hi superiority over the "Scotch Wop" to the satisfaction of the boxing fans, tmndee, . by the way, is nearing the end Of his career as an- ac tive fighter. - s - , ' i LOHO LIST Of KATOS -Charlev White.

Johnny Nelson and several other boxers df lesser note have fallen before Leon ard via the kayo route since he became champion, in addition, he met and stepped Johnny Kllbans, the feather weight king, in three rounds, and knocked out Willie Ritchie, who at tempted a comeback, in eight rounds. He has fought both Jack Britton and Ted (Kid) Lewis, the world's leading welterweights, and "-made a standoff Showing against both of them. tit a score of other bouts Leonard has met and easily defeated such boys as r-atsy cunt, Freddie K alley, Harry Pierce, Joe Benjamin. Harvey Thorne. Phil Bloom, Johnny Clinton and Jake Abel. In fact, the only boxer regarded as having, class whom Leonard has not fought in a regular bout, with the ex ception of Tendler, is Willie Jackson. Leonard and Jackson met in a four- round exhibition bout in Madison Square Garden in 1919 for the benefit of a war charity and Leonard was so clearly Jackson's superior that Willie has never figured aa a persistent challenger for the title until very recently. r f - ; Today. Jackson cart earn a handsome living as "one of the comers." Should he meet Leonard and suffer a knockout at the hands of the champion he would at once be relegated to the class of second-raters, where the game is much less lucrative than In the class In which he now travels. Wise lad, this Jackson. X.EOKABB TfU TBKBX.EB i Tex Rickard, with the keen Insight for which he is noted, realises that a Leona rd -Tendler match here would be the lightweight plum of plums. He is after it But he has run into a snag because, as- he says himself, "some of these boys- Want a half interest la the Garden and the privilege of a percentage on top of that" In short, Tendler has refused to "talk Turkey" regarding a match with Leonard or what Rickard considers reasonable 4erms, and Billy Gibson, manager of the champion, re fuses to sign articles in which the purse splitting gives a challenger an unheard of guarantee. Eventually, though, Leon ard and Tendler will eoma together. When they Co the crowd at the ringside will see the ending of a real feud.

Chess Players of Reed College Are Called by Titles Reed college chess players, who or ganized last week, have adopted a con stitution which introduces pre-war Euro pean monarcbiat systems on the college campus. According to the rules of the society. Forest Foster, who was elected president, must be addressed by the title, "king" and Ellen Gantenbelri, who was nominated for .vice president, is to reign aa "queen." The club's officers, who drew up the constitution, after des ignating themselves in terms of nobility, refused to extend the distinction, and members of the club are merely known aa "pawns," which, in chess, are very insignificant pieces. A further novelty in the club's bylaws is seen in the difficulty In gaining ad mission to membership. A student, de siring to align himself with Reed chess players, must challenge the Bociety to a game, : He is assigned, an opponent from within the club, and upon paying a fee of "two bits as pledge of good faith" he is allowed to play for admission. If he loses, he is not admitted, but must again challenge the club, and upon paying 15 cents he Is allowed to play a second game- after -two weeks practice. If he falls again he is permitted to challenge as often as patience holds out at a nickel a game. - : ; The - club membership now numbers over a score, and chess is vieing with goii as claimant on student attention.

Vancouver plans on entering the South western Washington track and field championships and efforts will be made to line up several dual gatherings with Portland institutions. Yacht Classes Organized Several of the leading yacht clubs of the Atlantic coast and some on the lakes have given the sport a boom by organ ising classes Of small one design yachts which are to be sailed by the younger members of their families.

Heavy Loads Responsible For ."Flinch" By J. Mowett Bawklae TnuMhnotJtw Chamnitm at Pessarl-feate. PHILADELPHIA, March IS. How many shooters attach the, import- ance to the recoil, or kick, that it war rants t v To the beginner this Is a big factor and there are many who hesitate to fire their first shot because of their fear of the recoil. Most every shooter can recall his start. Borne were surprised at the light kick of the sun. others found it was not as bad as they had anticipated, and after a time they completely lost sight of the significant part it plays in one's shoot ing average. The human nervous system is, in many respects, similar to an electrio battery and any shock to the nerves, uses up Just so much nerve energy. When this energy becomes weakened to a certain degree there is hot enough current to give that snap or vigor to the muscles required, therefore, the brain, eye, head, beck, shoulder, arm, hand and trigger finger fail to function properly, and the dreaded flinch is the result. The recoil ls thd cause of this in nine cases out of ten. -r .:; -, .' , ;r .', 1 do not mean the recoil you fear for U is seldom that a seasoned shooter notices the recoil when shooting at a moving -object, for his mind is concen trated upon the abject, its speea, direc tion and the lead required. That is Just the trouble, for the involuntary shrinking of the nerves from the shook of the recoil Is seldom realised and you can bear shooters say: ' . "I never mind the recoil, X can shoot any load." . TAbtK ADVICE ' To these I always feel tike saying i "I would like to see you shoot Sft-ltt at 100 targets some day and see how It affects you." The old live bird shooters could tell you something like this. . Live bird shooting made many "flinch- ers" among the target Shooters, for heavy loads will do it. The great shoot ers today use three-dram loads because they have learned that the lighter the recoil the . better their scores will be day after day and the Stale periods will come with lees frequency. Shooters go stale when their energy runs low, and until they take a rest, or miss so many targets that they become disgusted. thereby relaxing the strain And permit ting their nerve batteries to recharge, they will worry themselves sick, change &unS, loads and everything they have ever heard of a shooter doing to regain their form. . Pick out the load that will do the Work, see that you have the lightest re coil with normal velocity, a three dram one and a quarter, and a light crimp for this gives the best pattern and the least recoil.

St t ;" f: St" K May Defend It By Jack Veiock TVpEJW YORK, March 12.- (L N. S.) v No brighter figures grace Amer ican sport than the two "Bills" Tilden and Johnston. Between them they have made so much tennis history that their names will live forever in the annals of the net game. They stand today In a class distinctly, their own. They are the world's greatest racquet wlelders, and aa for the individual ability there Is no more than a hair, between them. American tennis boasts many won derful stars. Names like Williams, Murray, Washburn, Garland, Behr, pell, Church, Mathey. Griffin, Davis and Richards are synonymous with "class" in tennis parlance. But-the topno.tchers--the beilcows--are the two "Bills." !',"';'::.;.' galling away to , far off New Zea land last November our - scintillating "Bills" met the capable and determined Norman R. Brookes and Gerald Patter son, defenders Of the Davis, cup,-and erushed them in such decisive , fashion that the tennis World gaped with sur prise. The American team had beeh expected to win, but no one thought WEDNESDAY 1 i This Summer that the victory would be scored in such fashion. 1 - . BRIHro BACK fHB CUP Lifting the Davis cup and bringing it back to America after an absence of many years was a feat Well worth going to the other side of the world to ac complish, and the winner are justly proua or tneir success. In lifting the cup Tilden and Johnston demonstrated that American tennis stands today on the highest plane It has ever reached, for although we have had many Wonderfully brilliant, cham pions and- Davis cup performers in other years this pair takes rank over them all.- Confidence in themselves and, most of all, In American tennis, was a big factor in lifting the historic cup. And, as Tilden recently . predicted in an inter view given the writer of this article, America should successfully defend the tropny lor some years to. Come. TTItl, MEET AQA1HT Next summer Brookes and Patterson. along with the best players from other tennis fostering nations, will make aetermined effort to take the trophy away rrom its a on or nation once again. Tilden and Johnston will undoubtedly be named td defend the cup. Having won It back they are entitled td play In its defense, and as the challenge round for the trophy will be staged prior to the national championship there will be no new champion to dispute the right 'of either player. Tilden is the present national champion and Johnston tne runner-up. , The confidence 3 of the tennis-levin e- pubtie in the ability of these two, stars ts supreme. Those who have been for tunate enough to see them in acUon In big national tournaments have seen ten nis demonstrated in its most brilliant styles, and it goes without saying that the American defenders will be top heavy favorites when they enter the challenge ' round ; against the nation that survives the cup tiea So Just put the two "Bills" down among Amer ican champions who figure to hold the grouna iney nave won during 1921. T10EJT ALL-AROUND CHAMP Tilden is an all-around champion. In addition to sharing Davis cup honors with Bill Johnston and holding the national singles title, he Is the Inter- r.auona-1 singles champion, the .na tional indoor singles champion and the national Indoors doubles title holder along with young Vlnce Richards. And he won all this glory In one year of competition. - N pl4r in the world can approach Tilden in- the matter of service. His IS the fastest, most accurate and dazzling style In tennis today. The champion backs up his terrific service with all- around . ability and ha haa what ever successful tennis player must have these days -a i fine back-hand stroke. The main .difference between Tilden's game and that Of Bill .Johnston is the service. Yet Johnston is quicker on his feet and 4 more perfect mechanical player. JOHXSTOV BRILLIANT PLATES -Johnston is by nature a, nervous yet nerveless player. : IS short bis nervous disposition does not Interfere in the least with , his playing, and he has what- tennis players call "perfect co ordination of mind, eye and racquet is meeting tbe bell." ; V Johnston was a great tournament player more than five years ago. He was the national singles champion ' in 1915, The same year .he won the na tional doubles with C J. Griffin. Jn 1916 R. Noma Williams won the national title and Johnston was the runner-up, but Johnston and Griffin clung to the doubles championship. Coming back like a whirlwind in 1919, Johnstone won the national sin gles title a second time and also cap tured the clay courts championship Last year he and Griffith recaptured th national doubles, while Johnston was runner-up to Tilden at Forest Hills. Winged'M'Cluh Is Enlarging Tennis Courts WORK of construction will soon be started on two niw tpnr.ls Courts at the Multnomah Amateur Athletic club according to an an nouncement made by C. P. Keyser. chairman of the grounds committee, , and Walter A, Goss, chairman of the tennis activities. The courts will be located to the north of the present tennis enclosures. LAst year there were two courts which were lower than Multnomah field and considerable difficulty was experienced in keeping them in shape during inclement- weather. They were filled!

The two new double courts will-be ready for the annual Oregon state cham pionships, which are billed for the Winged "M" field during the week of July 11. The 1920 titles were settled on the Irvlngton club grounds because of the fact that Multnomah was not In a position to adequately stage the event. due to lack of enough courts.

American Method Of Boxing Control Is Being Copied New Tork, March 19 (U. P.) Ger many is becoming am enthusiastic fol lower of boxing. Since the close of the war, the .ban that once existed in the "Fatherland'' against the ring sport has been lifted and the government is openly encourag ing It.

In Berlin the most im portant events are held in the Sport palasu which has a seating capacity of 9000. . . The contests are conducted along the Same lines as the American method, ex cept, that the' Germans have gone one step farther and prohibited smoking, which has helped to increase the fem inine attendance. Ringside weighing and medical examination before the bout are enforced. Leaders of the sport are Herman Woolf, prominent turfman, and Ilobert Kleinsroth, former tennis champion of Germany. The Germans are becoming enthused ever a heavyweight prospect named Brelttenstrater, who with several other Oerman boxers learned what they know about the game while they were pris oners of war in England. Critics who have been watching them declare all the boxers to be crude, but game and quick to learn. J The Germans are especially eager to get British- and Americans to perform for them. Several British boxers have appeared in contests, in Berlin and they returned with praise for the manner in which they were treated. - . Berlin promoters made offers to have Georges Carpentier appear there in- ex hibition bouts, but he refused. The na tives are all worked up now, it is under stood, over a report that Jack Dempsey will include the German, capital on his European tour.
