(Portland Tologram.)
Billy Georges, who styles himself
the "Idaho nearest," never had a
better eh an mi to show his metal or
to disprove the assertion that he is
"scared" of Al Sommors than is of
fered him right now. Every possible
Inducement has been made George
to box the Portland middleweight,
but he has always "squealed." At
least this is the claim of Bobby Ev
ans, manager of Sommers. To show
that he is In earnest regarding a
meeting between the two, Evans is
offering George a present if he will
box Sommers here. The only stipu
lation is that George make IBS
pounds ringside.
In a lettor Just received from
Evans, in which he enclosed his per
sonal check (or $50 to be presented
'George the moment he steps from
the scales weighing 159 pounds or
less, Bobby roasts the Idaho boxer
to his complete satisfaction. He
eays:
"I have just read that Billy
George, the self-styled Idaho Bear
cat, who is at present making Bend
his headquarters, is very anxious to
meet Al Sommers, Northwest mid
dleweight champion. Please contra
dict that statement. I have done ev
erything in my power to get this won
derful mankiller in the same ring
with Sommers, but my efforts have
been fruitless.
"W. L. Doudlah, the Bend promo
ter, who appears to be handling
George, has done all in his power to
avoid the match by imposing terms
which were ridiculous. My only stip
ulation was that George should make
158 pounds ringside. Doudlah re
fused, saying the match must be at
catchweigbts. I then agreed to let
the match go on at Bend at catch
weights, and split the purse 75-25,
but I received no answer. A few
days after my arrival in Wallace I
received a message from Doudlah,
bo by the way, resembles Fatty
Arbuckle, asking me to cancel Som
mers' match with Farmer Burns at
Echo, as he wished to use Burns at
Bend with George. The wire also
said if I would do this he would
match Sommers with George, March
26. 1 wired back accepting the
-match, but would not cancel the go
-with Burns under any consideration.
This -wire must have hurt Doudlah,
tor be seat me a collect message,
-which I refused to accept, telling me
I could never hope to have any of
my boys appear before his club in
future.
"As the' Portland fans well know,
I tried several times to get George
to appear In a Portland ring, but he
made terms so high I could not meet
them and still live within the city
ordinance, whieh forced me to turn
the match down.
"To give' the fans an idea of what
this conceited young Bend boxer
demanded for appearing in Portland,
I will Bay he aBked more than such
Stars as Bob McAllister, Fighting
Billy Murray and Johnny Coulon. If
he received what he asked, it would
make Eddie Campi, Billy Mascott, Lee
Johnson and Muff Bronson green
with envy. I believe Mike Gibbons
would be more reasonable.
"That I am sincere In my belief
that Sommers can tame the Bearcat,
I am sending you a check for 150,
which you are to hand to George the
minute he steps off the scale weigh
ing 158 pounds or less, ringside. This
is with the understanding the two
boys are to meet in Portland as the
main event of the Business Men's
club show to be staged March 23. I
will also let Fatty Doudlah and the
bush champion, Billy George, pro
tect themselves by bringing Dr.
Cousineau with them to referee. I
will pay all the doctor's expenses.
I can do no more, and it is now up

to Doudlah to accept or admit that
he was only trying to got a littlo
cheap publicity at the expense of
Sommers. I hope this offer will be
accepted by the time I return home
in a few days."
Accepting the challenge of Bobby
Evans, Al Sommers' manager, V. L,
Doudlah, of the Bend Athletic club,
who has been interested in promoting
boxing matches for Billy George, stat
ed this morning that George is will
ing to meet Sommers In Portland ear
ly in April and that he will do it
without cost to either Sommers or
to Evans.
Manager Doudlah received, with
considerable interest, the announce
ment that Bobby Evans canceled the
engagement he had made tor Al Som
mers with Farmer Burns at Echo,
Saturday evening, owning to poor at
tendance. "When George went to
Echo to fight Farmer Burns," Mr.
Doudlah said, "he did not crab
on the poor house, but went in
and made the fight for only $28.
That shows his style. He'll tight in
Portland for nothing."

BENDER EXCEPTIONAL
INDIAN BALL PLAYER
Copper Colored Athlete Most Prom
inent of His Race In Annals
of the Diumnnd. '
By H. ('. Hamilton,
(United PreM Staff Correspondent)
NEW YORK, March 12. There is
always something touching about the
passing of an old-time baseball play
er, one of the men who grew up with
the game and saw it develop Into
the sport of the nation.
It was so with Chief Bender, just
as it has been true of other ball
players, and there Is just a shade
more of emotion in his passing, for
it leaves only one Indian of prom
inence in the major league.
Strong, healthy, quick, drilled in
outdoor sports by) inherited rival
ries, the Indian never has been able
to completely fathom the white man's
game of baseball. Many hundreds
of the copper-skinned men have been
called, but very few of them have
reached the pinnacle of perfection
In the majors.
Bender was one of the most prom
inent members of his race who ever
played baseball, and Chief Meyers is
another. Jim Thorpe, wonder though
he Is at other sports, is nothing more
than fairly good as a ball player.
Sockalexis will recall glorified ath
letics to many an old time fan, but
he passed as they all did. Chief
Johnson was a wonderful pitcher,
and might still be, If he had cared
to keep himself in condition.
Bender was purely a product of
the Connie Mack school. He was
picked up after making a wonderful
record for a team at Harrlsburg, Pa.,
and then after a summer of illness
and a season of no success, he blos
somed. It was his work that did
more than anything else to drive the
Athletics to a pennant in 1911, and
then he came through with a world's
