August -6 and 7
pLENTY of action is promised boxing
- fans of Portland for next Wednes
day nights card at Milwaukie, according
to Matchmaker Frank Kendall, who com
pleted arrangements yesterday. The 10
round main event will be between
Prankie Murphy of Denver and Joe
Simonlch of Butte, Mont.
Simonich Is a rugged battler from
the word go and likes to mix, bat he
hasn't a thing on Murphy when It comes
to wanting to keep things exciting. The
fans will be given an opportunity to
see whether or not Simonich is as
"tough" as his advance notices would
make him. They are welterweights.
Another bout which looks on paper to
be filled with as much interest as the
main event is the six round semi-windup
between Abe Mishklnd and Young 8am
Langford. Young Sam has been seen in
Portland and Milwaukie rings before,
while Mlshkind is a newcomer to these
parts. It is the element that makes the
affair uncertain. Mishklnd came here
from Salt Lake .and when be went to
Matchmaker Kendall he said that he
wanted to tangle with Joe Gorman.
TICKETS OS SALE
This made Kendall ait up and take
notice, for most of the boys have been
asking for everyone else but Joe. Not
knowing what he could do, Kendall of
fered to pit the visitor against Young
Sam Lahgford, knowing real well that
if Mishklnd can get over the tar baby
he will be in line to meet Bobby Evans'
protege.
Two well known boys Aloe Gordon
and AUie Taylor agreed to terms
whereby they will sling gloves at each
other In the other six-round setto of
Wednesday night Gordon has been noted
for his' cleverness, but it is said that
he has developed a punch to go along
with his speed and he doesn't seem to be
afraid to "take 'em" in order to get in
some stiff wallops himself
Carl Martin and Frankie Webb are
billed to battle four rounds while Bud
Vance, a soldier from Vancouver Bar
racks, is slated to lift the curtain with
Charley Helman in four rounds. Mar
tin has not been seen In action in
Portland for several months, but be Is
ready to go any time because he keeps
himself in perfect trim.
Tickets are on sale at 409 Alder street.
and the first bout Wednesday starts at
8:30 o'clock.
National Tennis
Tourney Entries
Are Pouring In
AMERICAN tennis players apparently
want to take no chances being left
out of the draw of the men's singles
championship which begins at the Ger
mantown Cricket club, Philadelphia. Sep
tember 9, for entries are already being
received by the United States Lawn Ten
nia association, 20 Broad street. New
York. Although August 30 is tha closing
date, the fact that so many foreign com
petitors are likely to be in the champion
ship seems to have spurred the players

actmty.
Watson Washburn waa the first to
send his entry and this waa soon fol
lowed by a telegram from the California
Lawn Tennis association to make aura
that William M. Johnston of San Fran
cisco was properly entered. Other rank
ing players are already on record, along
with youngsters who want a chance at
the title. In view of the likelihood of the
entry being restricted to US so that
the tournament can be completed within
a reasonable time, others are taking
every precaution to benefit from what
ever advantage there may be in sending
entries early.
THEY'RE SAIURG '
It is not hard to find the reason for
this activity. Representatives of Aus
tralasia, British Isles, Denmark, France
and Japan are already in the United
States or sailing for this country to com
pete in the Davis cup matches that will
culminate in the challenge round at For
est Hills. September 2, 3, and 5. With so
many teams here during the latter part
of the season it is only reasonable to
suppose that moat of thorn will arrange
to stay for .the championship. Conse
quently, the competition at Philadelphia
should bring together the most notable
entry, in its world-wide representation,
in tha history of American tennis.
This Interest in the championship is not
confined to the players by any means.

street, Philadelphia, who has. charge of
the advance sale for the series tickets,
reports that clubs in and near Philadel

blocks of tickets. The seating arrange
merits will be similar to those at Forest
Hills and about 9000 spectators can be
accommodated. "It is important that
everyone wishing series tickets make ap

plenty of seats available but with the
approach of August it will be increasing

EMERY WEBB of the Standard Oil
"Zerolenes" and "Doc" Beason of the
American .Railway Express engaged in
a beautiful pitchers' battle last Sunday
in one of tha prettiest games played on
the semi-pro lots for the last few years.
the "Zerolenee" coming out the victors.
'Doc" Treason tried to sup a groove ban
over on Parkins in the. last half of the
ninth inning with the result that Per
kins planted the ball against the left
field fence scoring the two runners on
bases. With the Portland Coast league
club playing such poor ball this season.
u is a wonder that larger crowds do not
turn out for the semi-pro games and It
is hoped that a large crowd will witness
the return battle of the Standard Oil
American Railway Express this after
noon. Manager Halstead of the Coin Ma
chine company waa a much disgusted
man on returning from Astoria last
Sunday evening. He expressed the
opinion that the treatment accorded
could have been much better while his
expressions of "sympathy" for the um
pire were of a high class nature.
Lefty Schwartz of South Parkway
has been waiting all spring for his name
to apear in this column but the writer
had grave doubts as to his pitching
ability. However, after umpiring bo
hind the port-sider last Sunday I must
give him credit for bavins; stuff on the
ball. It was not his fault that South
Parkway lost to Brooklyn, but his sup
port was poor. Incidentally, Lefty be
haved himself fine, not waving his
hands at me once during the game. So
Lefty has received his reward.
Brooklyn ia showing tha results of
good steady practice and the infield
worked like a million last Sunday, pull
ing off several double plays. The addi
tion of Hoyt, an old time Brooklyn
player, has strengthened them wonder
fully. The rejuvenated Veterans of Foreign
Wars-American Legion club made an
excellent showing last Sunday against
Woqdlawn, Coach Lowry surely has
the pep to put behind the ball club and
was much in evidence along the linea
during the game. Lowry baa had his
share of luck already and has lost both
Jerry Miller and Al Jones from the in.
field as a result of Injuries. Jerry Mil
ler will be out of tha game for a couple
of weeks while Jones will be out of the
game for the rest of tha season aa he
twisted his ankle again last Sunday.
"Utch" Rippel teas a good one on the
Penitentiary nine whom tha combined
money he to disinclined to enter the ring
with men who do not figure to have a
chance with him.
There are two good reasons for this.
One is that Dempsey hi only 26 and at
the peak of his fighting form He thinks
ha to good enough to beat any man. His
reason for not boxing men who would be
"suckers" for him to that he fears he
may hurt them. Jack ia beginning to
realise tha power of his punch.
SO OSB ABOrD
At the present time there isn't a man
in sight who looks fit to battle Dempsey
on Labor day. Jess Willard would re
quire more than two months ta get ready.
He says so himself. Fred Fulton prob
ably would make as good a showing as
Willard if Dempsey chose to make a slow
start But Fulton will always remember
that time he did a "Beckett" at Harri
son, N. J.
A scuffle between Frank Moraa and
Carpentier might be Interesting. It
would demonstrate the speed of the Eu
ropean champion, and possibly Frank
might land old "Mary Ann." However.
It probably would be a disappointing ex
hibition If It went more than a few

By Sid Mtreer
TVpsW YORK. July 21 (I. N. 8.)
11 "What to the matter with baseball?"
They tall us that baseball attendance
is falling oft that the ball to too lively,
home runs too many and games too long.
So we started out to secure some re
liable testimony on the dedlne of a sea
son that opened with indications of pros
perity on every side.
Ws put the question to aa old-timer :
"Over-exploitation of hitting and the
Dempsey-Carpentler fight" he answered
without hesitation.
And then he unfolded his theories
"Baseball touched the high water mark
last season," hs said. "There were sev
eral reasons why all clubs mads money.
One waa the raise ta prices. To my way
of thinking, though, the Babe Ruth
ballyhoo waa the greatest contributing
factor. Ruth alone drew hundreds of
thousands through the gates' In the
American league. Ha made countless
new baseball tens snd all other leagues

apparent now in baseball, which was the
last of our amusements to feel It
I ITELT BALL O BAB PITCHING I
" In the early part of the seaasn the
seeadiaij of the batter waa explained
by the backwardness of spring pitching.
But when the weather turned warm and
the heavy hitting continued, with Its at-1
tendant evils of large scores, long games
aad iroaiaglem of pitchers, the public
began to tire,
"Personally I do not believe Che lively
ball Is altogether to blame. Of course, J.

tdl that by the way ordinary hitters

It to my Impression, however, that
this to the poorest season we have ever

of the spttball to partly responsible. I

that the ball be made livelier, so that
there would be a dosen Ruths Instead
of one.
"If these men did this they are guilty
of gross stupidity. Ruth's value Uea ta
his ability to hit a ball farther than any
other man. The, value of a homo run lies
ta Its occasional delivery, la other days
they ware rare enough to aissrvs special

"Another drawback this ussnn to the
