Be cause of the reputations of the two men it la probable that unusual In terest will be shown In the match. Steele has wrestled the best men in the game and lias met them in every country In the world. He claims a total of 26 professional matches. - The hardest match he ever had, Steele says, was with Clarence Ecklund at Houston, Tex as, the match going four hours and fight minutes without a fall. 1 Steele has been, on the Pacific coast less than a year and In that time has met a lot of men, Includ ing Spellraan; Dr. Garpoils, Wykoff. Dr. Welrser, Charley Hanson, Pete Slckooff and Young Zbyako, and he beat all of them except a bout that he lost to Thdr Jensen In Salem.

This Game t0GOLF Sometimes I fancy vaguely that 4 my own sex la not so much less susceptible to alterations of sar torial fashions than the eternally temporary feminine, .who boasts that she Is forever emancipated from long and clinging garments ana enecu abbreviated skirts not because they show her knees but because they are "sensible." She sticks to this emancipation until well, . until the dresses begin stretching in Paris and stretch all the way across the Atlantic. . . The brave- hommes, now they think for themselves. At this writ ing they are thinking that slacks1'. 60 called, are cooler and more com fortable than plus-fours, when the KEELER LEAGUE LEADERS COMING SUNDAY The Ever Ready club of Portland. leader of the Portland - Valley oaseoau league win be seen in ac tion In Salem next Sunday when It will play : the Senators.

I - MR. AMERICA The brave but not specially sap lent hommes did not discover the superior comfort or stacks five or ten years ago. when the old fash ioned golf professional or the lat terday type with funny legs were In a class by themselves, wearing long breeches. Plus-fours then were the only sensible and comfortable gar ments, except when your legs were funny. ....... Johnny Farrell and Sir Walter Hagen,- in ' their annual dressing competitions for the thousand dol lar prize and the title1 of Mr. Amer ica, appeared In all sorts of ravish ing schemes of matched hose and ties and pullovers, to say nothing of hair and ayes. But, no slacks. Plus fours of purest twill were cool enough fof Mr. America. ! ' - At the 6cloto country club. Sir Walter and Johnny, on the Ryder vup ream, nad made tne "great dls covery" that slacks were so much more comfortable. ' Most of the Britons, who always had none' in for comfort, stuck to the old nius- fours. Most of the other Americans aid, also. But watch what the tired business man will be wearing, later in the summer. Watch the eoliegl- ates they like things like slacks, anyway. 1 BIG GATE IS IN PROSPECT FOR HEAVY BATTLE ENGLISH ATHLETES LACK IN COACHING London (LP) Lack of flrst-ri. coacnes and the wIlllnnnMu m slowly for style are the reasons at- inDutea oy captain P. A M w.h- ster for Brltalns failure to capture inmiirr international track and Jieio, nonors. Captain Webster.

THE NAUTICAL IDEA Not so many years atro. some nn- heaval of masculine . fashion got sailor pants adopted, with nothing else of a seafaring kit-one of the most grewsome styles that ever gave a narrow-shouldered counter jumper and upside-down effect. It was worse, if possible, than the peg-tops of the Gay Nineties, with tne padded shoulders now coming oaca again probably because thev are so much cooler than plain ones. iium-noi I saw a "Noble Experi ment" in or rather on the Derson of Rex Hartley, English collegiate of uut, wno mane a gallant but un successful effort at the British am ateur championship at Muirfield to Introduce "Oxford bags" as a golf ing costume pants just a yard arouna at tne bottom of each leg. What the special recommendation was for this divided skirt I do not remember. But it was a little too "awful". It never got much farther than Mr. Hartley. 1 Slacks, now are not so bad. but they certainly are not more sen sible golfing apparel, especially when the wind blows. Naming reasons for the of foreign countries, he says, "First ly, they succeed because they have many first-class, well-paid Coaches, wiiiie we nave naraiy any; secondly, because the foreigner Is more thoughtful and more Daliutaklnr in his preparation than is the average Englishman, who docs not love to try to produce his best every time he turns out to train. This characteristic of British athletes Is partly the outcome of despair. "rhey are not taucrhr. hnm tn jump, uirow or nurdie, and are given no schedules to run to, where fore they try to make ud hv sheer strength or natural ability for their acnciencies In technical skill." New York Ph-Close to $200,000 worth of customers, the promoters hope, will pile Into Ebbets Field Wednesday night for the IS round heavyweight battle between Mickey walker ana Jack Sharkey. If the gate really gets up to that figure and advance Indications are that It will Jimmy Johnston and the Hearst milk fund can point with approval to Walker as the chief contributing cause. Most of the ballyhoo has been built around the 30 year old Mic key who has won two world s titles in bis long career and now aspires to a third. Always a popular fight er In this. district, the Rumson bulldog's apparently unequal strug gle against a loe of vast physical superiority has caught the public's fancy. Much of Sharkey's draw ing power In the past has been based on the fistic populace's hope that he would be beaten. : : It probably will be the same Wednesday night Certalnlv Walk er, who must give away Inches .In height and reach and about :30 pounds in weight, will be the sen timental favorite although ; expert upuuon conceaes nun only an out side chance of beating the.

BARKER (Associated Press Sport Writer) Those sighs of contentment you hear from St. Louis and Philadel phia probably are emitted by Gab by Street and Connie Mack, mon agcrial rivals of the 1830 world ser ies. You needn't bet on It unless you feel so Inclined but It looks sus piciously as though Street's Cardin als and Mack's Athletics, aialn will square off In the October classic. For the cardinals now lead the Na tional league parade by six games while . the Athletics have a seven game margin over their nearest Amertcal league rival. . Most of Monday's action was con centrated. In the American league, the A s setting the Dace for the rest wren a iz-f triumph over the Chi cago White Sox for their seventh victory in a row. Hank McDnoald started off for tne champions but decided tn rn w a day after the first Inning when the Sox scored six runs. Roy Ma rt aney came in and held Donle miens crew to four hits and one run for the last eight Innings while the As slugged four Chtcaxo Ditch ers for 18 hits -to tie the score In the second inning and win out easily In the later Innings. The White Sox were soundly beaten out tney had the satisfaction of engineering a strlple steal In the opening frame while McDonald was winding up. much to young Hank's embarrassment.

Willamina Local : Teams Win Games Willamina Local teams took both baseball games of the double bill here Sunday afternoon. An unusual ly large crowd of fans was present The first game was a contest be tween Uie Willamina and Sheridan business men. Willamina took the lead in the second inning, when two runs were made and Sheridan still held a goose egg. In the third, five more runs were added by the locals, with the visitors' score sheet still blank. Then suddenly in the fourth frame the Sheridan merchants seemed to wake up, annexing a home run, and three other scores. There the final score rested, Willamina 7, Sheridan 4.
