BUCKS WILL TANGLE
WITH HERMISTON IN
GAME THERE SUNDAY
Arrangements Made With Wes-
ton for Cancellation of Con-
test Scheduled in League.

The Wheat Belt League is a thing
Of the past.
At least that is true so far as Pen
dleton is concerned. Arrangements
were made yesterday wit. +he manage
ment of the Weston team whereby the
locals are released from any obliga-
tion to play the one remaining game
on the schedule, and Manager Mar
shall Spell said this morning that in
dependent ball would be the order
from now on.
The Bucks will meet the Hermiston
team next sunday at Hermiston, Ne
gotiations for game were completed
today and when the game is played it
viii be Wheat Belt champions pitted
against Irrigation League champions.
Hermiston was ahead in the artificial
watering league when 1t came to a con-
clusion last week, and the boys there
are said to know some Of the finer
points of the game.
The locals will present a stronger
front than they have had this year, ac-
cording to present dope. Wood will
be back to play the short stop place,
and Hanley will be shifted to the right
garden. Wood is clever playN, and
the addition of Hanley to the outfield
will add world of strength to this de-
partment which has ocen the chief
weakness of the Bucks all during the
season With Styson, Gordon and
Hanley chasing the long ones, the
gardens will he manned by as able u
bunch Of players as one could expect
to find in any old town.
Extra workouts are being planned
for this week so that the locals may be
in tip-top condition for the contest
Sunday which is expected to be The
stiffest game of the year.

TN BUILD AND STATURE
CHARACTERISTICS OF COMBATANTS
In DEMPSEY FIGHT

Dempsey expects to enter the ring
slightly under 100 pounds.
The champions shoulders are broad
while Carpenters are sloping In shape
but otherwise the bodily meaare-
ments of the pair do not differ to any
marked extent.
Experts VINO nave seen both men
are satisfied that they will be we'll
matched in speed and clcverncss but
the majority believe that Dempsey will
carry by far the heavier weight In his
blows. Dexterity and suppeness are
claimed as advantages for the French
man by his followers but just how hard
a punch he can deliver is still prob-
lem.
Dempsey showed In his bout with
Willard at Toledo that his blows pos
sess enormous Furnishing power but his
more recent encounters with Bill
Brenan at Madison SQUARE Garden did
not demonstrate that he still retains
the forceful punch necessary to sue
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1921-06-07

cessfully stand Off man Of Carpen
tiers undoubtcd ability and cleverness
just how good the challenger is ol
how hard blow he can land Is prob
lematical to the majority OF American
flstic patrons, who have seen him In
action. His only bout here, that with
Levinsky in Jersey City last year, did
not afford much of line on Carpen-
I tiers provinces. Levnsky, always a
clever boxer made practically no seri-
Gus effort to defend himself on that
occasion and went down and out an
easy victim for the Frenchman in the
fourth round.
Nearly 80 years have elapsed since
Queensberry rules and glove contests
were substituted for the London prize
ring code governing pugilistic contests
for championship titles. In most Of
the bouts fought for the heavyweight
championship since the change took
place, there was decided advantage
in stature between the principals, but
this did not always carry victory with
1t.
Beginnng with the Corbett-Sulliyan
battle at New Orleans in 1892, the big
Boston man was massive in proportion
TO the 1.-the, supple and extremely
clever Californian but the smaller man
bore the big champion down and an
nexed the title in the 21st \round.
Corbett was one and one-half inches
taller but Is pounds lighter than Sulli-
van who stood feet l0h inches and
weighed about 200 pounds.
Corbett and Bob F'itzsmmons were
more evenly matched in height and
age. Corbett was half an inch taller
and four years younger than the Corn
ishman but he was nearly 20 pounds
heavier than Fitzsimmons when the
latter knocked him out and won the
title at Carson City. March II, 1897.
Two years later James j. Jefferies |
of huge build and outweighing F1tz- |
simmons by fully so pounds won the |
title in II rounds from Bob at Coney
Island and five months later, Novem- |
ber. 1899, Jeffrics got a referees deci-
sion over Tom Sharkey in a 25-round /
bout in the same arena. Sharkey was
several inches shorter and about 20 /
pounds lighter than the then cham
pion.
Corbett challenged Jeffries twice for
the title but was knocked out by the
bigger man each time, once in 23
and the next time in 10 rounds.
Jack johnson, the negro who defeat
I'd Jeffries at Reno. New, in 1910, was
nearer the the big mans size than any
IF the other heavyweights who had
met him for the title in the previous
en- years. Johnson was three years
one inch shorter and only ten
pounds lighter than the Ohioan
Johnson scored a knockout in Is
Jess willard. the giant Kansan, was
BY all odds the biggest man who ever
1eld the worlds heavyweight title. He
stood feet. 6 inches. weighed 25t
POUNDS and had decided advantages in
very way over Johnson when he won
rom the negro at Havana. Cuba, in
9t5. When he met Dempsey, two
ears ago, these physical advantages
lid not enable him to withstand
sudden onslaught as he
confessed aftcrward that. he did not
much after he was knock
ID down in the opening round.

DOLL DAY IN JAPAN

I'm glad I'm not a little girl in
Japan" said Betsy one day. "they
can't have any fun at all. They
st. Patrick's Day or anything"
"Oh. but you are wrong" said her
mother. 1.-The little japanese girls
have ever so many good times that
you know nothing about. Why just
this very month the Jap girls have
one OF their jolliest celebrations"
What is it. Mother?" asked Betsy,
do tell me about it,
The third Of March Is celebrated In
Japan as Hina-No-Sekku. or the fes-
tival Of dolls. and the day is one of
great pleasure. 1t Is looked forward
to by the girls and their mothers much
as you look forward to Christmas, and
preparations for the great day are
made long in advance. Originally this
quaint holiday was celebrated to show
special honor to the Emperor and EN-
press Of Japan: so today the principal
feature of the doll show Is the pro-
cession Of the dignitaries or the group
Of doll models OF the heads of the
Japanese nation dressed in copies Of
the state robes and court finery. The
dolls, many Of which are heirlooms
which have been in the family. for
generations are arranged on one side
Of the room. usually the best room in
the house. on shelves graded like steps,
These steps or platforms are covered
with cloth and on them the dolls are
arranged: the Mikado and his royal
train in the center. On each side
stands the doll-daijin or chief officer
keeping guard. and beside these in the
order of their rank. down to the or
binary little Jap doll that We all know
so well, are the other dolls all help
ing in the reception to which neigh
bors from far and near are invited.
Real food made Of rice and beans
and rice flour cakes are temptingly
set before the dolls in dainty China
