- f" v THE OREGON STATESMAN. SALEM, OREGON. WEDNESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 25, 1923 Willie Gordon and Phil Bayes Sighed to Fight in Salem February 8 k r - a am bib tk . RING MIX ASSURED Jack Sharkey Signs Up To Fight Johnny Risko Save your pennies and see a bis show. Sailor Willie Gordon and Phil RavM will battle ten rounds in the main event of the next boxing) car, Matcnmaicer riant announced laat night, following receipt of a telegram from Joe Waterman, Gordon's manager, agreeing to terms. The fight will not be staged until Wednesday, February 8, as Phil Bays has asked for an addi tional week In which to get in shape for the strenuous evening. Gordon is known to Salem fans as the man who knocked out Vic Tendler here a year ago. The Sailor connected with Tendler's mid section so hard that Tendler fell to the floor. In doing so his neck struck the bottom rope in such a way that the head was snapped back and it was thought at first that Tendler's neck had been broken. Tendler got up, however, and struggled along un til the fourth round, when Gordon floored him again, this time for the count. Gordon is a tough fighter as his decision over Benny Pelz, the Port lander, ehows. On the first occa sion, Gordon finished in a drav with Pelz. So emphatic were the Portland newspapers in their opinion that Gordon had outfought Pelz, a re-match was arranged, and Gordon won the fight. Both Bayes and Gordon will agfee to make 126 pounds. 'Bayes, whose stock was con siderably boosted by his stand-off with Hellmann, wan's to enhance his gate value still more by put ting the skids under Gordon. He will begin immediately an inten sive training program. NORMAL QUINTET MEETS ASHLAND OREGON NOHMAL SCHOOL Monmouth. Jan. 24. (Special.)

In which he was said to have de clared that Tunney had agreed to such an arrangement. "Jack Delaney and Tom Heeney still are in the running, just as much as they ever were, with a bout elated for about March 1," he said. "Sharkey, if he knows any thing, knows he has to beat some body that is good before he gets a chance at Tunney or Dempsey, af ter his exhibition with Heeney. He emphasized that "nothing had happened" to the elimination series he previously had decided upon to produce a challenger for Tunney's crown. "I have neither received nor sent eny telegrams relative to a bout Sharkey with Tunney, J: ck Dempsey, Johnny Risko or any body else," he declared. j The promoter added that he would have to wait for word from his New York representatives "to find out what it's all about," be fore commenting on the proposal to "match the winner of a Sharkey Risko bout with Tunney. Rickard made his statement on his return late tonight from PaUn Beach where he spent the day with Tunney. : He indicated a possible further complication in the heavyweight situation with the statement that if "young Stribling fights Just two more times like he did last night he will be ready to go with anybody."

In a deal that shuffled an entirely new aspect into Tex Rickard's heavyweight elimination tourna ment Jack Sharkey of Boston was signed here late today to meet Johnny Rteko of Cleveland at Madison Square Garden on March 13, the winner to meet Gene Tun ney in a title bout next summer. Johnny Buckley, Sharkey's man ager, came to terms with Jess Mc Mahon. Madison Square Garden matchmaker, after a deadlock of almost 24 hours on the matter of a Sharkey-Risko bout under any terms. McMahon -came to Boston yes- terdnv tn nien Sharkey for the Risko bout with the understand ing that the winner would meet the victor of the impending Jack Delaney-Tom Heeney fight on March 1 to determine Tunney's first 1928 opponent. Buckley flat ly refused to consider either De laney or Heeney as prospective op ponents and the conference broke up about dawn today. McMahon telegraphed Rickard at Miami. Fla., for instructions and received the reply that Tun ney would be willing to meet Shar key on condition that the Boston ex-sailor decisively whipped Ris ko in a bout to run nothing short cf 15 rounds. When Tunney's views were conveyed to Buckley at a second conference today the Bos ton manager agreed to the bout and the contract was signed. What' disposition is to be made of Delaney and Heeney was not mentioned by Rickard in his tele gram to McMahon here. SALEM HIGH PLAVS DSC ROOKS TON GH I COMMISSI PUTS ml 1 on NEW YORK. Jan. 24. (AP) Two champions of the National Boxing association "Frenchy" Belanger of the flyweights and Benny Bass, featherweight star came under the ban of the New York state athletic commission today. Bass, storm center, for many months in the controversy be tween two of boxing's ruling pow ers over leadership of the 126 pound division, was indefinitely suspended along with Phil Glass man, his manager, and the pilot's entire stable of boxers for "run ning out" of a match with Tony Canzoneri in Madison Square Garden next Friday night. Belanger, Canadian youngster, suffered the same punishment for fa'lure to answer a summons to appear before the commission. Drastic action against Bass and his manager followed the com misslon's discovery today that Bass is scheduled to fight Wilbur Cohen, New York negro, in At lantic City next Monday night. The Philadelphian had h'.g match with Canzoneri. recognized in Vow York as the featherweight king, postponed until Feb. 10 be cause of illness. The commission decided that any sickness, discov ered a week ago, that permitted Bass to fight Monday night but prevented h's appearance here three days earlier, called for sum mary treatment. Tom Duffy will not play with the Salem high team tonight against the Oregon State college rooks, Coach Louie Anderson said last night. The decision is based on an In terpretation placed upon the elig ibility rule by the board of con trol laat year that students who are Ineligible f6r interscholastic competition should not play In any game, whether the opposing team was a high school team playing under association rules or not. Duffy will be eligible Sot the re turn game against the Rooks at Corvallis next Saturday, however. Beechler's eligibility to play to night is dependent upon his grade in certain subjects which will be known today. Coach Anderson said the tall center probably would not be used. Starting at forward will be Charles Kelly and Siegmund. Lyons will hold his regular berth at center, and Bob Kelly and Ecker will remain at guard. I The Rooks will provide Salem's toughest competition this year, it is believed. While the Corvallis boys dropped a game to Washing ton high school, victor over Sa lem, they came back in the next! game and won by a similar mar gin. Salem high has showed constant improvement in scoring strength (in the past few weeks and will be 'able to play a better game tonight than against Washington. The game will start at 7:30 p m.

The University of Oregon basket ball team won its second consecu tive Pacific coast conference hoop victory bv defeating Washington State college. 33 to 16. here to night. The game started out slow ly, but eoon developed into a gen tlemanly roughhouse, which came to a culmination in the final per iod when practically all science was thrown to the winds by both squads. A suDerior offense was the ma jor factor in deciding the contest in favor of Oregon. The Web foots, especially in the first half, scored a great many long, looping shotd one or two of them from past the middle of the floor. Wash ington State failed to score on many cripples, though encounter ing but little difficulty in break ing through the Oregon defense. After the first few minutes, when Oregon seemed unable to get its plays working, the -outcome was ; never in doubt. The Web footk gradually pulled away, many of their scores being made on free i throws. At half time the count was 18 to 8.

(AP) The Amateur Athletic Union through its foreign relations com mittee today cleared the way for three American competitive ap pearances by Dr. Otto Peltzer, ace of German middle distance run ners two in New York and one in Chicago. To gain formal sanction for these engagements, Peltzer needs only to comply with the usual A. A. U. regulations governing ama teur competition and agree to make no exhibition appearances. The German who conquered both Paavo Nurmi and Edvin Wide in Europe, already has filed his entry in the Mlllrose A. A. games at Madison Square Garden Feb. 28 and in the Illinois Athletic club's track and field carnival at Chicago Feb. 10. His third ap pearance, provided he complies with a request of the foreign re lations committee, will be in the national A. A. U. indoor cham pionships at the Garden Feb. 25. The day's developments brought with them a revival of the hope that Peltzer may yet match strides with Lloyd Hahn, American star. possibly in the Chicago meet SOS QUI SWAMPS IHPEIHCE EllfE I INDEPENDENCE, Or..
