In the big division there comes, from '
time to time, the alluring vision of
Mr. Jack Dempsey, the Tiger Man, I
looking ieeringly out of his lair. '
Most anybody has a right to chal- '
lenge Jack, -This is a free country
. and If some big fellow has a notion
thar he can put Mr. Dempsey to ;
' sleep In a given number of rounds
he cannot be sent to prison for en
tertaining that notion. . V
lt im a fact, however, that most
fighters weighing around 200 pounds
would prefer Just now to be little
fellows, boxing in a smaller division.
There doesn't seem to be much
nourishment for them in a battle
with Dempsey. In the first place, he
is a rough person with a brusque
and unpleasant manner while, in the
ring. He seems to care little for the
'finer things of life when he Is wear
ing boxing gloves, and in the ring it
is hard to get him to discuss the art
! of Michael Apgelo or- tbe poems of
Lord Byron. He wants to. fight with
his fists.
Jack: has a simple and direct man
ner about .him- that is disconcerting
to a contender. He has a way of
clipping' a gent on the point of the
chin with a right hook, and for that
reason few of the boys care to play .

Next Saturday night an exhibition polo
match - will be " staged - between .two
picked teams from. the club league,-which
has closed its season' earlier than .usual
to all the swimmers to start training for
the various events.
Prospects ' are bright for another
championship team at the club.- Last
year the- clubmen won a majority of the
events inh which they participated and
Jrith a number of new comers in the
ranks there is every reason to believe
that this year's team will be a winner.
The state championship tournament

national Junior championship, which has
been awarded Multnomah, will be staged
either in March or April. .
Instructor Cody is endeavoring to ar
range a water polo game with the Uni

dual swimming meet and is also corres
ponding with the Oregon Agricultural

has decided to fight no-declsion meetings
for that period to lay up a fund against
the day when he loses the title. " Smith
is now unquestionably the best ban tan
