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

Johnny Boscovlch In one of the bene
fit bouts on the Portland card. He is a

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

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

rpHERE will be a number of changes,
"made In the present swimming rules
at the meeting of the National Amateur
Athletic union in Chicago in November.
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.

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.

ALBANY COLLEGE. Albany. Or
Sept 17 The Albany college foot
ball squad began practice Thursday
afternoon. Only a few of the veterans
were on ohe field, but re ports, show that
two full teams will be in uniform Mon
day. 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. Columbia university at Port
land and the College of Puget Sound at
Tacoma. In addition, there will prob
ably be two or three minor, games.
though these are not yet definitely arranged.

AT a semi-pro game tn Cleveland. Ohio.'
recently there were ' 9.000 specta
tors, according to the reports sent ot
from the home of the world's . baseball '
champions and only the city title .was
at stake.
Portland fans will be given aa
tunlty to Jam the Vaughn street grounds
to Its rapacity- this afternoon to witness
a clash for the 1911 Pad Ho Northwest
semi-professional baseball title. The
reason the park should be flUed to the

HAVE RTR050 TEAM
The .Portland branch ot the Standard
Oil company has a squad of toosera '
which had little difficulty winning- the
interstate association honors with nary
a defeat and the kocal officials decided
to bring the Taooma team for a real
championship affair.
The. Tacoma outfit was not named to
play here lust because It happened to
be a Standard Oil company product, hot .
the definite decision was made when the
City of Destiny "Zero 1 en e Bears "won the
title of Washington. 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.
The locals figured they were not go
ing to have strong opposition and as a
result they were Inst a little bit ovor
confident. - It was the first and only
humiliation the Portlandera have suf
fered during the 1121 season and they
are out to wipe it off the slat with a
bang.
MAY PLAT TWO G AXES .
. With the possibility of two games bo-.
Ing necessary this afternoon on the
Vaughn street grounds the contest tso
billed to start promptly at 1 o'clock.
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.

"We are out with this announcement

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

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. ' .
