the motorcycle did not permit expan-

Coffey still has a long way to go
before he can be picked to beat Will

of all the heavies developed since the
downfall of Jeffries he has shown the
most rapid improvement. AS be-
ginner the big Irishman was so raw
it seemed impossible for him to be-
come even a fair second-rater. But
he was equipped with an exceptional
ly fine physique to start with and
every bout has added something to
his knowledge of the game. This Inn
proyement has now extended over q

still there are no signs OF its ending

All Reich's defeat by Coffey is a Sc
rious check for the ambitious ex-ama-

to recover his former prestige. This
check comes at. very unfortunate
time for Reich. For the first time his

Y. N. c. A. Bowling League.
Last Nights Match.

Tonight.
p. b. c. VS.. Signal Corps.

The Colts captained by J. c. Cham
berlain won the championship OF the
Y. NJ. c. A. Bowling League for 1919
when they took the first game from
the Honolulus by four pins last even
ing. II was a great race and great
deciding match. When J. c. Chamber
lain, rolling as anchor man, doubled
in the last frame, he made ii possible
for his team to win out S57 to S53
and thereby cinch the championship
In the second game after the nerve
racking finish, the Honolulus came
back and bowled the second highest
game OF the season, 974. They won
this game by 80 pins. The last and
rubber contest again went to the
Colts by a very narrow margin, $50
to $50. ~. =rr. ... =. r.
C.. c. Clark was high average man
for the evening with 1877. Capt. Leslie
Scott of the Honolulus came next
with 1856. j. j. Alexander was high
man for the winners with 1S4. This
gives him a chance at the high aver
age prize for the season. Harold
Gear was away up in average, lS2.
Geo. Mills rolled the best game OF the
evening, 21S. Clark, Scott and Gear

needs more time in which to reach his
full physical development. 1t is doubt
full whether he ever will grow heavy
enough to be considered seriously as
an opponent for Willard.
No doubt Gunboat Smith, who holds
a referees decision over Willard, will
try to use that as an argument in his
favor But Smith has been defeated
so often of late that he must be count
ed out of the running. Carl Morris
also is going back instead of advanc-
ing, and the same. no doubt, applies
to Frank Moran. Apparently Willard
has no reason to dread the time when
he must don his war paint and come
forth to battle. a...

Big Irishman Expected to Re.
new Challenge For Wizards
g.. Heavyweight Crown

AS result of his victory over Al
Reich in New York last night, Jim
Corey is expected to renew his chal
lenge to Jess Willard, latest holder
Of the heavyweight championship
crown. Experts concede Coffey to be
the likeliest contender in the field.
One thing is certain, Wizards con-
tender must be an exceptionally big
man or he will not carry the conf
dence of the public. The champion
invariably sets the fashion in this re-
spect, so only the giants Of the ring
will be considered seriously as long
as Willard leads the procession.
Carpenter Not Logical Opponent.
This seems to eliminate Georges
Carpenter, the clever Frenehman,
who undoubtedly ranked next to VIII.
lard among white heavyweights up
to the opening of the war. 1t appears
not improbable now that by the time
Willard is ready for action Carpen-
tier will be free to challenge, unless
some stray bullet puts an end to his
career in the meantime. Whether he
will try his luck against the gigantic
Willard remains to be seen. Carpen-
tier refereed the Moran-Johnson fight
and at that time stated that he was
hardly big enough to tackle the negro.
He will have even more reason to
fear the present champion if he al
lows mere size to daunt him.
Carpenter weighed under $50
pounds when he took the measure Of
Gunboat Smith in London last year.
To match him with Willard would be
like pairing a featherweight with a
middleweight. however, as far as
can be learned, the young Frenchman
leads all the contenders in skill and
speed. These qualities should make
him very dangerous rival for the
others who would dispute Wizards
title. Beyond a doubt, Carpenters
first move after the war ends will be
to sail for America in order to take
advantage of the big purses on this
side of the world. 1t will then be
possible to get real line on him.
Jim coffey Has Chance.
Recent developments indicate that
Jim Coffey will have the inside track
with the promoters when the time
comes to select an opponent for VIII
lard. Coffey is one of the few men in
the 200-pCund class who have both
speed and skill. Even Coffey, big as
he is. will be at tremendous disad.
vantage when he faces the champion,

DEMAND FOR BAT
ARTISTS STARTS
AkANA STOCK UP
Portland Sporting Writer Says
Lang Akana'S Help May Be
Needed Within a Month

Like China in the Orient, Portland
in the Occident faces a baseball cri-
sis which is confidently expected to
result other in Portland starting on
its usual May rise up the percentage
column, or in a rapid decline in the
"tinkle, tinkle" sound at the pay gate
Of Portland's baseball PARK
Last reports indicate that Portland
is wavering between the first and Sec
| ond division and some doubt on the
post-season batting abilities of the
web-foot players is arising in the
minds of the Portland fans What
we need here are bat artists" writes
the sporting editor of the Portland
Oregonian to Honolu1an.
But what has Portland to do with
Honolulu? 1t has this much: Port
lands erstwhile manager. Walter Nc
Creole, few months ago affixed his
hand and seal to a contract agreeing
to play one Lang Akana of Honolulu
on the Portland nine during the sea-
son of 1915. -.--'.. ...-. -.
Naturally, Lang Is watching the
Portland field from d distance; Man.
ager Mac has not made good and
Lang is playing the "watchful wait
ing" polity to perfection. And any
thing that interests Lang on the
Coast. interests 500 or more Honolulu
fans as well. Hence this dope"
Summed up. the situation now is:
If Portland can gain foothold in the
Coast race within the next month or
six weeks, it is probable that Akana
will celebrate the Fourth of July and
Christmas in Honolulu. If not. then a
demand for Strengthening the team
with few good hitters will be forth
coming. meaning that it is a 100-to-l
shot Akana will parade in a Beaver
uniform soon ..'.
'McCredie els silent on the Akana
contract" the Portland sporting writ
er continued. land / think that the
Hawaiian hinese's chances to play
with the Beavers are good, unless
Portland takes sudden leap upward
in the percentage column SOON" ..
