1 THE OREGON-SUNDAY JOURNAL, PORTLAND," SUNDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER .18, 1821. 3 Heavyweights Featured at Milwau Martin Will Face Herman Wednesday TTOW good I "Denver fEd"- Martin. XX former heavyweight colored cham-" pion of the world ?, 1 This question hu been asked repeat edly In fistic circle ever since the fa mous boxer scored his- quick knockout Over Young Hector In his flrat attempt to "rome back." Wednesday might at the Mllwaukle arena, the fans will have another opportunity to judge for them- ft'.vtm as Martin Is billed to face "Tiny" Herman, the Astory heavyweight in a to-round encounter. TIER.V.A5 IS'-SHIFTY ! Herman has batted In these parts a number of.times and thou he has been defeated, he displayed, a lot of stamina and for that reason ought to serve as real test to Martin's ability to "come bank." The Astorlan has been here for vrl weeks getting himself in condi tion for the winter boxing season and should be In good shape for the contest , Herman Is not a clever boxer, but he fast, and shifty on his feet Besides, he Is a plugger and has always shown a willingness to mix with his opponents. In facing Martin he meets a battler who la very clever with his hand and on his feet despite his 43 years. Martin dis played In his bout with Hector, which ended in the second round, that he has hot forgotten the art of boxing nor the use of his feet in dodging opponent's punches. - It is pleasing to watch a boxer like Martin In action, compared to some of the "ham" bouts. In which heavyweights participated during the last season's smokers. - CA5 "BE5TEE" GO ROUTE I MafUn, unlike a majority of the box ers of the past and present, has kept himself in good condition by clean liv ing and out door life. He trains consci entiously, road work being an Important cog In conditioning himself for a ring battle. Prior to his battle with Hector, Martin was on the road almost dally for . period of over two months. i Herman win - not be cauea upon to face any such punching against Martin as he did in his bouts with Sam Lang ford, for "Denver Ed" was never re garded as & heavy hitter, but was often referred to as the cleverest of all colored heavyweights. , j Fans, who saw the Martin-Hector con test are wondering if Martin has the strength, to travel 10 rounds. The bout with Hector was no test at all, but it may be different next Wednesday night as Herman can take quite a bit of pun ishment. ! Backing up this contest Frank Ken dall, the Mllwaukle matchmaker, has billed Gordon McKay and Tommy Mc Carthy for the seml-wlndup attraction. This contest will mark McKay's first ap pearance In Portland. McKay has had quite an eventful career In the ring in the Northwest and has battled some of the topnotchers in his class, Including Soldier" Bartfleld ' and Mike Olbbons. He has also beaten Al Somen, Portland middleweight ! McCarthy is the youngster who faced Johnny Boscovlch In one of the bene fit bouts on the Portland card.

A 16-year record, stretching from 1805, the year of the first modern world's series, to 1920, in clusive, shows that the Giants have been first or second no less than 12 times and were only ones lower than fourth. In the same period Connie's men were only seven times first or second, and were seven times out of the first division, fin ishing in the cellar six times. CLARKE HAD GOOD MARK John and Connie are the only man agers to win a pennan in the6 18 5 ears who have participated In 1G campaigns. Fred Clarke took part in 11 and Hugh Gordon McKay, Utab middleweight, (on the left), who will face Tommy McCarthy on Wednesday's card In the Mllwaukle boxing commission arena, and Young Dempsey, : local battler, who is scheduled to box Mike Deptnto in a six-round event. Wilson's Ring Title May Be Forfeited By Henry L. Farrell jEW YORK, Sept 17. (U. P.) Ever "Kid"), the "cheese champion," the mld- hrd hitter, but Is not possessed with J dlewelght class has been regarded with more or less a curl of the lip by the boxing fans.

Since the commis sion began operating under the state law, there has been no cards of less Since he won the title .on a doubtful decision from Mike O'Dowd in Boston, Wilson has never been taken seriously In the East. He lost what llttl tlge he owned when he met 0;Dowd the second time in Madison Square Garden last winter. Practically everyone at the ringside agreed that the title holder should have lost the decision a half oosen times on fouls.

George S tailings, " the only nine-year manager in the pennant-winning class, finished six times In the second division. Your Uncle Robby of the Brooklyns has been In the second division more often than in the ,first during his seven year reign, but he ranks above S tailings. Fielder Jones grades-a bit higher than Robby, while Moran is still higher, and with good fortune may top Chance with in the next three years.- In Moran's six campaigns he has had his team 'one-two-three five times. Seven pennant-winning managers have seen less than five years of service. Speaker, charged with two years, al though actually he has had only one full season, tops this group with an annual average of 12.50 points, while Bill Car- rigan, who retired at his senith, is a fine second, with 11.50. Kid Gleason and STANDARD OIL CRACK BATTERY TAnwilahai U 1 a . a a . was first second or third eight tlme ..,,.. i f ,Ji.. in 11 years, and notwithstanding Jen nings' three pennants,' neither the Pirate nor the Tiger reached any such triumphs as are credited to McGraw and Mack. If we were to grade pennant-winning managers by a point system scoring tn points for a world's championship victory, ten for a pennant victory, five foe second place, two for third place and one for fourth place we should find that McGraw has 99 counters. Mack 93, Clarke 44 and Jennings 47. Dividing these tlgures by the number of years-H1016 at Connie Mack leads in world's each manager served, we find that Mc Graw 's annual average Is 6.10, Mack's 3.81, Clarke's 4.00 and Jennings' 3.30. CHANCE HOLDS HABK Mathematically, a manager's chance of ylnning a pennant Is one in eight and his chance of winning a world's scries after he has gathered a pennant is one in two. Therefore, to win four pennants and two world's series in nine years is no mean performance, and Frank Chance may well be pleased with his record. Frank's average of eight points per year would have been 10.29 had he not wound up his big league pretty close together In net results. while Ed Barrow and Jake Stahl, both of the old Boston Red Sox, have identical records one world's championship, one pennant and two times below fourth place in three seasons. And finally we nave Mitchell, iate or tne cuds, witn one pennant and one third place to his credit in four campaigns. MACK IS LEASER As a sidelight on the work of these famous managers, it is Interesting to wa-ivi ; -V Honeyman's Offer Would Help Lift Ring Body's Debt WALTER HONEYMAN'S offer to act as matchmaker of the Portland boxing commission without pay, until such time as the commissioners select a permanent successor to Bobby Evans, whose resignation- was ' accepted, last Wednesday night should be accepted. In view of the fact that the commis sion still had a mark tn tts balance book, it could save 3100 on each enow. which, with the receipts of the smokers to be staged during the next three months, should erase all indebtedness.

A committee, o which Norman Ross of Portland, Or. the world's swimming champion, is a member, has been at work drawing up a number of recom mendations which will be offered the members of the national association at the annual gathering. ' - Ohe of the recommendations Is that divers shall be permitted to name two post dives. They- would have to nam their four compulsory and four of their six optional dives at least 24 hours be fore the competition is to take place, The post dives would be drawn by ballot by a committee of judges and made know to the contestants at the start of the event Post dives would be drawn from 1.7, I.S, 1.9 and J point dives. ; CHA5GE STABT SYSTEM Another change which should be ac cepted ts that method ef starting swim" mlng races. The swimming rules as a whole have been adopted from tha track events. Commands of "on your marks" and "get set are needed In track races but the "get set order In swimming Is unnecessary. The swimmer Is set ; just as soon as he Is on his mark. Any ether command only serves to throw him off balance and very often compels him to "Jumn" the gun- - - i : The committee recommends that when the finish Is not a solid wall the race should be decided by a head of the con testant and not by the hand or the arm. It Is very often difficult to catch an arm or a hand In the water while a head always can be followed.

'I've had" the boys out now for about 10 days," raid Coach Williams, "and, although they are far from being ready to go into a regular league game, I'm anxious to see what they will do under fire. 1 have been In communicatlon-wlth Hood River for three or four das and from present indications I think that they will accept our challenge for such an early season game. WORKING HARD WITH TEAM The Stenographers have been forced to seek practice on the Dunlway park grounds, having none of their own, but that has not prevented them from turn ing out every night The new coach is working wonders with the small amount of material. He has had two full teams for practice each night something un heard of at Commerce in past seasons The other teams of the Portland public high schools are working out dally, as per schedule, and they are waiting for the opening games the first week of October. The" directors of the clroult will meet Tuesday afternoon at the Lin coln high school and at that time the matter of a schedule will be thoroughly gone into. Secretary Hugh J. Boyd has been Instructed to draw up a list and it will be submitted at that time. It was agreed last spring that the opening game would take place Tuesday. October 4, and -from then on contests would be staged on Multnomah field until the week befote Thanksgiving. HIATT TO COACH Gene "Fluffy" Hiatt has been named to coach the James John high contin gent to succeed J. E. Kalmbach. Too many other duties In connection with the school forced Kalmbach to turn over the coaching end of the football team for the 1921 season. Although the Orst week of practice was taken up with teaching the athletes at the various schools the -fundamentals of the game, beginning Monday most of the squads will be put through their first scrimmages. i Casters to Exhibit Skill at McMinnville T70RMER Pacific Coast league players A. in the American and National leagues are well up among the leaders In fielding. according to the latest unofficial aver ages.

In the National league, are the only former Coasters who are not keep ing pace with the leaders. The pitchers from this league are go ing well in fielding, with the exception of Oldham.

Among the new men reporting are several who have done stellar work ln the smaller -high schools. Coach McNeal says that with two full Spams to work on. Instead, of a squad of IS men as he had last sea son, he hopes to repeat last year's rec ord of a no-defeat season. Captain DeLaaaux la also very optimistic, but like the coach, says that It means hard work and plenty of It when most of the squad have had at most only one season s experience. . Several of the new men are heavier than most of last year's team, which will materially strengthen the line. The schedule will Include several hard games. The nrst with the Mount Angel October 7. The Reed college game will be played here as a part of tha Armi stice day celebration. The other large games will be with Pacific university at Albany.

The final engage ment for the sister state affair took place ln Tacoma last Friday afternoon, and resulted In a 10 to 5 score. Manager McNIven took his 'Portland nine to Tacoma and beat the Pierce county aggregation. 9 to ft. and on the following afternoon went to Seattle when the SearUeltea were victorious. 2 . to 1. That 2-to-l match was a regular pitcher battle, Emery Webb for the Portland crew allowing three dinky blngles, yet he lost.

Should Tacoma happen to win tha first contest It will give the visitors aa even break in the. series, making a otcoad game necessary. However, every mem ber of the Portland team Is confident that the Washlngtonlans will be bambld In that first affair, but they are aot go ing to tak any chances Just becaase Tacoma was defeated at the last meet ing. Evidently the Tacoma eqnad has been strengthened considerably since that date and ts coming to the Rosa City loaded for bear. The Tacomans are coming here 1t 100 rooters and a band which ts said, to be one of the best in the North. The -locals won't be outdone along those lines, either, for many stunts are going to be staged before the afternoon la history. The Standard Oil company Is footing all the bills and the public Is invited to be the guests of the company. TO H050B FIELD TKIAL VtS Centralis, Wash, Sept 17.

Anqtber thing which wo want to impress on Portland as wen as out side basketball teams -m that we are registered i In the Pacific Northwest As sociation of the Amateur Athletic Union and wa . are going to play only thoe teams haying registered amateur ath letes. "We are out with this announcement early because are don't want lf thrown up to trs when .w have to turn down a contest simply because - tha opposi tion falls to register with Mr. Wakeman. Last year ' on or two aggregations tried to spread around the report that the reason we would not play them was because we were afraid of losing our title. That wasn't the truth, at all, the truth of the matter being that we could not do so and still remain as registered amateurs. ( We are ln hopes that every on will register early and thereby elim inate the danger of railing off - games later in tha campaign. ACCORDING to the United States de partment of agriculture. "Babe" Ruth and his associates who specialize in walloping the horsehlde out of the baseball grounds may well begin to ask what kind of bat they will ubo when the diminishing supplies of ash make it less easy for them to obtain this hitherto favorite material. During the last few years several sporting goods factories have attempted to Introduce hickory bats as a substitute for the traditional ash. This has been unsuccessful, ho ever, because hickory, although it pos sesesa greater shock-absorb tlve qualities than ash, is too heavy. MATT MODELS ATtD DISPLAY One of the greatest curiosities at a leading bat factory fs a model-room where more than 1:00 bat patterns are kept on display. Each model embodies the Individual likes and dislikes of the various players. There are thin bats. portly bats, heavy clubs, light bats, some with handles of unusual shape and de sign, and some with bodies that re semble bottles. Whenever a professional "player orders a new consignment of bats. this factory is able to refer to the special model desired and to pattern the new bats after that particular design. The bats of the big league players are turned out by hand, great care and skill being employed In their production. The majority of the white ash timber used In making baseball bats is cut trom farm woodlots and timber tracts ln Kentucky. Ohio, and the Lake and Lower Mississippi state a The timber Is cut ln the winter, logged, and hauled to the railroad, whence it is trans-ported to the factories, a number of which are located at Louisville. Kentucky. The ash Is cut up In bolt form, each bolt being ultimately converted Into a fin ished bat After arrival at the factory, the bolts are stored in. curing sheds for from several months up . to a year In order that the wood may season thoroughly. Skilled workmen ultimately work the bolts up up Into bats for all grades of ball players, from the stars ot the big leagues to the sandlot cham pions and school player. OTHERS BID FOR ASH According to a standing timber sur vey made by the United States forest service at tho request of congress, pre sent ash resources aggregate approx- Imatalr S.sM.000.000 board feet For the most part these ash assets are scattered j over a wide range of woodlands, the ash being prevalent In mixed forests of hard wood timber. The Roarer Mississippi states have about 1,112,000.000 board feet of ash on the stump at present much ot this supply being old Umber. The Cen tral state have about 2.2.000,009 board feet of ash while the Lake states have about L89S.0O0.OO0 board feet the South AUanUc and East Gulf states L2M.000, 000 board feet tn Middle Atlantic states 11. 000.000 board feet and the New Eng land states 21a.000.000 board feet Obviously If ash were used solely for tha manufacturer ot baseball bats our leading national gam would have no need to concern Itself about substitutes for a. long time to come, - But Industries which use ash are already begin lug to find It hard to obtain high-grade mater ial ln sufficient quantities to meet their slackening in Industrial activity rapidly. The entire amount of ash used for sporting and athletic goods forms -very small part of the yearly consump tion of this valuable wood, which pos sesses properties that gtv tt preemin ence for aeveral industries. In particular. the vehicle and handle industries hav been fierce competitors for ash. Over half the annual cut goes into handles, vehicle parte, woodenware and novelties. SEW BATS TRIED Ash is unquestionably or,e ot the woods in connection with whicg the effects ot the forest depletion will earliest be felt ln the form of ad actual dearth of ma terial. There are two possible remedies to grow more ash, and to resort to substitutes. Already the search for sub stitutes has begun. As for growing more ash. foresters say that with the waning of the virgin supplies the farmer's wood lot Is coming to play a larger and larger part in filling market needs and that farmers whose woodland is suitable for ash production will do well to favor this specie.
