LASSEN Ole Anderson, the big Swede heavyweight, may make a go of the fight game in San Francisco after all, After taking a ter rible beating at the hands of Harry Wills, the dusky skinned heavyweight, we thought Ole would be en his way home, but it seems as if his draw bout with © inboat” ith in San Francisco the other night has won him favor the South again, Ole is one big tough bird, but what he don't know about ring science would Mi all of the Carnegie librabies in the world, providing one could be found to write all about it, He's tough and can take n, in fact, he has never been knocked off his feet far as records go, but until Anderson learns more than he knows now of hitting the othet fellow his chances for rising In the fight game are about as bright as the moon on a rainy night When Anderson first came to Tacoma he was a terrible bum as far as fighting was conesrned, but under the careful tuwring of Chet McIntyre, the rough edges were being smoothed @f of his ring work and he was gradually improving. But wha) Ole sang his swan song to Tacoma and Chet hte was singing his funeral march as far as fighting in this section is concerned, be cause Ole’s walloping in the South hasn't helped him as a draw ing card, and the way Ole ran out on Chet, leaving in the middle of the night, without letting Chet know he was going, still grabs our angora when we think of it, and the boxing game isn’t built up any by such tactics, es Tommy Burns, the Vancouver (8.

Tommy used to hold the world’s title, losing it to Johnson about 10 years ago. Perhaps he can come back, but it looks like a lot of good advertising for the pent Mr. Burns, because the come back stuff is just a bit beyond him in our opinion Carpentier ateh the California middleweight, afraid to looks like it, because Ortega re yer at Portland on the 19th after agreeing to ing to reports from the Rese City And now Ortega will Jimmy Derey instead. Ortega holds one win over Farwer an no reason for the Mexican bettler running out on the match unless he doesn’t want to get mixed ap with the losing column. Ortega is reported to say that Farmer is too heavy, but he turns right around and boxes Dercy, who will outweigh Farmer by seyeral pounds. How do they do it? In the meantime Farmer is preparing for his bout with Jack Reeves, the San Francisco light heavyweight, which will be staged at Tacoma next Thursday. Reeves, a young fellow, is a willing battler, holding a draw and a close decision loss with Ortega. Is “Battling” box Frank Farm fused to fight I the mateh, or Ortega, rr? It surely we sce Speaking of Farmer reminds us that Young Hector’s 60-day suspension is about up and that the Bremerton heavyweight will soon be eligible te battle the bald headed Tacoma man if he is still anxious to elimb in the same ring with Farmer. This bout was on and off so many times that it ix our fond desire at least to see the big fellows in action, to decide their argument for once and all, Everybody's doing it. All of the old-time heavyweights are stepping after the coin to keep the wolf from the door these wintry days. And now comes word that Arthur Pelky, former white hope, who has been out of the game for over five years, will attempt a comeback against young Bob Martin, the A. BE. F champion, in St. Louis Tuesday night. With Cart Morris, Gun boat Smith, Sam Langford and the rest of the old erew going, it seems as if perpetual motion machines have at last been dis covered. Althe what we saw of Morris ahd Sinith here, their only motions were the litte walks from their chairs to the center of the ring and back again at the tap of the bell. Climbing inte the ring and ott again oust alse be considered. The sooner some of these olidtimers are conmviverd they arp thru and get a job and go to work the better the (ght game will be. It seldom dees anybody any good to send a boxer against ®& bunch of dubs to # & reputation. Take the case of Ole Anderson and Young Hector, Northwest heavyweights. Hector came here unadvertised and was matched with a bunch of bums to make a reputation for himself. He knocked nearly all of them kicking and the fans expected a K. 0. every he entered the ting. When he couldn't beat je Anders the fans turned on him and gave him the well known razz. The same with Ander. son. He was sent in against Morris and Meehan and came out with a win and a draw and beeause he did so we Il against two men who used to be able to fight, it went to his head and he thought he was Jack Dempsey’s twin or something, How Ole was akened from his young dream is all history, We're firmly con vineed that it doesn't pay to feed ‘em suckers. banch of bums for over two vind him in one Jack Kea) Jack Dempsey was fed up on years, but he had a wise by was ready he met the champion and won. But Jack's a fighter and that’s where the © les. But one or two wins over a couple of dubs doesn't make anybody a championship contender Little Georgie Etcell, the Bremerton featherweight, is making a hit with local fans by hix work. George will probably never be champion of the world, but he shows a willingness to give his best that is bringing him faver in the eyes of local fans. He boxes Irving Gleason at the Poot Wednesday. We think that Gleason is a little heavy for George. That's a mistake a lot of young boxers make in not staying within their weight limit. Some of ‘em get by with it, but the greater majority fight themselves out While Clay Hite, proprietor of the Northwest Athletic club has no place to © smokers now, because of the ice being put in @ the Arena for the coming hockey season, he hopes to locate the club in new quarters after the holiday season. While some of the headliners Hite has brought to Seattle to box before local fans have not always lived up to expectations, he has at least tried to brin. the best exponents of the fistic art. There's one thing we don't like about the judge system of announcing decisions at local smokers and that is the decisions are not rendered the minute the bouts are over bec: of the necessity of writing the verdicts down. While this is in progress the fans start yelling and quite often the faction that makes the most noise gets the votes.” When the promoters are selecting their judges it would be well that they take a lot of care that the men know how to judge a bout. The average fan has his mind made up as to whom will win before the bout ever gets under the other boy has to put his opponent to sleep to win. If press notices will help any Bud Ridley, Seattle bant will soon be champion of the world in his class. If Fred Winsor, his present manager, is nothing else, he's the best little press agent in the world. Buddy got by his first bout in the South by knocking some kid for a goal. When Ridley gets going he should at least be able t win his way to the top around the Golden hut it’s going to take a lot of hard work because press notices in signing up bouts, but don’t help win them. 3ince Joe Sharkey, the little New York bantamweight, man aged to outpdint Jimmy Wilde, the English ring star at Milwaukee recently, there will be a lot of bantams crawling out of their shells around the country now ready to box the invader. That's the way it ge yr . Pal Moore, Champion “Kid” Herman, Joe Lynch, Jack Wolfe of Cleveland and Joe Burman can all be ex pected to be ready to meet the visitor since Sharkey got by all right. Joe Lynch, the logical bantamweight king, and Pal Moore have both met and lost to the English boxer in England and in the front rank bidding for a bout, BOXING IS MAJOR BLAKE WILL PILOT SPORT IN ILLINOIS PEORIA, Ill., Dec. 13.—Boxing is} James G.
