Whenever half of a match consists of a miller with*a °K. 0. wallop there’s boynd to’be excitement. And this bird! Complete Card at eens Show Hrere is the complete cart to be at the Arena tonight: Joe Gorman vs. Marcario Eddie Jackson vs. Yanng Sam Langford, lightweights. Lloyd Madden va. “Red” Gage, i eights.

If Gorman can hook his powerful little mitts inside of Flores’ swings, the Port- lander should win. With Flores packing a punch and Seattle fans knowing the style of Gorman, who battles every inch of the way, tonight's main event looks mighty attractive. PRELIMS ARE FAIR FIGHTS ‘The rest of the bouts on tonight's card are a collection of fair bouts that should develop into some real scraps at that. Eddie Jackson and Young Sam Langford, a pair of willing lmbt- weights, meet in the semi-windup. Jackson is anxious to get back in the limelight again after taking the sleep punch from Flores at the last Arena show. Lioyd Madden and “Red” Gare another willing pair of millers, meet for the first time, in the next bout in line. The pair is too well known for further comment.

After many years of service In the ring, Smith, who really ranked high as a heavyweight years and years ago, thought he found the \fountain of youth when he won @ | third raters in the East last month. He wanted to fight Dempsey again And Monday he took a bad beat ing from Bob Roper, the Chicago heavyweight. ‘The Gunner ts a nice fellow, per- sonally, but he really ought to find some little town, buy a cigar store or something and settle down before he's crucified for good. When he was on the coast his favorite occupation was hunting for soft places to land. Remember what a pitiful exhibi- tion he put up with Frank Farmer? Fred Fulton nearly bounced him Tinto the next state wien the Gun- ner flopped in Milwaukie last win- ter. And then the Gunner won a couple of fights and he wanted to meet Dempsey again.

It's beginning to look like the Cin einnati Reds pulled an April 1 joke on the Seattle ball club when they Promised to deliver a pitcher im mediately to replace Herb Brenton who is now a member of the Reda hurting forces, Or else the local club owners were telling us a lot of fairy tales about the expected hurler in an effort to appease the wrath of the fans for the immediate delivery of Seattle's star chucker, At any rate the club is tn a lot of money and is out one pitcher, And the pitcher is a darn sight more im portant to the Seattle ball club than $10,000, Brenton could have been sent to the big show at the end of the season just as other clubs in the Coast league are making their deals. Walter Mails, of the Sacramento club, was sent to Cleveland, but the lIndians promptly sent FPaeth and Niehaus to replace him. What has | Seattle received? A lot of promises.

Organization plans will be laid by the first of Novem ber. There will be room for about 12 good teams, Squads should start thinking about @o basketball season now so that when the call comes the teams will be lined up and ready to start. The Star trophy, which must be won three times before becoming the permanent posseasion of any team, is now held by the MacDougal. Seuth wick team. The winner of The Star title will be matched with the winners of the Tacoma and Portland city leagues, according to present plana, for the Northwest title HERRON AND ARMOUR MEET ROSLYN, N. Y. Sept. §.—-Atten- tion in the second round of the na- | tonal amateur golf championship today was centered principally on N. Davidson Herron, title holder, and on T. D. Armour, Scotland, |the only foreigner remaining in the competition. Herron was matched against Orwald Kirkby ‘There was much interest in the match between Armour and Philip Carter because of the possibility SOUPHPAW UMPIRING Lord Byron, the singing umpire of |the Coast league, tells a “smart” one, Left handed umpires were be- | ing discussed at a recent San Mran- cisco fanning bee and Byron re marked that Jease Tannehill was a left-handed umpire. Tannehill worked tn an exhibition | fame in which Sherwood Magre, the veteran outfielder, was playing. He called a couple of bad ones on Magee. Sherry dropped his bat in disgust jand remarked: “What ean you ex pect of a left-handed umpire except left-handed decision. FARMER TO BOX HERMAN Frank Farmer's immediate future as a main eventer in the Northwest depends largely upon his showing with Tiny Herman, Chet McIntyre's big heavyweight, in their six-round bout in Tacoma Thurs@tmy. Farmer hurt his haed in the bout with Hector here last spring and this is his first start since. If Farmer wins he will probably head a local |card soon as he is always a pretty | food drawing card in Seattle.

Baker, winners of The Star Junior baseball trophy, registered a nifty looking record for the season, turning in a card of 22 wins out of 25 starts, losing to the Royal Ar- canuam, Redmond and Ballard Beayv- ers. ‘The champions defeated the South Park team by an 8 to 2 count at South Seattle Monday without much opposition The Mt, Baker boys who have done most of their playing in the city this season would like to line up some out-of-town games for the rest of the season.

SIX 'MAJOI CLUBS IN JUGGLIN ACT ‘Ten clubs have already gone down the greased chutes away from pen- nantville, The other six are pulling off blanket finishes, ‘The two major leagues are doing more humming than a pair of hum ming birds. It'll be a merry old ride down the September stretch. A club is counted out one week and is back on the coveted fringe the next. The speed with which the dope is upset makes the head ache and the heart thump.

MORAN HAS HIS TROUBLES Pat Moran is having the grand rougbhouse of his life. Managing his “bad boys,” the loss of his star shortstop Kopf, and the “Don't let the Reds repeat” spirit, are gnough worries to send an ordinary fellow over the hill. Wilbert Robinson chats with the fans in Flatbush, telling them the Dodgers are going to stage the fall follies, while those Giants keep bat- ting at the outskirts with a punch’ that makes John McGraw believe they'll cop.
