OLD ROW CAUSES HALT Differences Over Money and Who Should Kefcree i'imjlly End In Ruining Card. BY DICK SHARP. -The scheduled ten-round return bat tle between Mike O'Dowd of St. Paul and Battling Ortetra of Oakland at the Milwaukee arena was called off last night owing to a misunderstand ing over the money that was to go as O'Dowd's end and the inability of Tommy Simpson, Ortega's manager, and Paddy Mullins, O'Dowd's man ager to agree on a referee. After lk was all over Tommy Simp son said that he would have allowed Ortega to fight with Mullins ref. ereeing, while Mullins asserted that he would have permitted Mike to bat tle If there had not been a cent in the house, provided the referee could have been agreed upon. The sum aid substance of the whole matter is this: The Mllwaukie com mission with Frank Kendall and Cltorge Moore at the helm offered O'Dowd a guarantee with a privilege of percentage to meet Ortega again ar.d the stipulation was made that "Denver" Ed Martin would not ref eree. the fight. All this was done be fore O'Dowd and Mullins left for Pocatello. Idaho. Ortega's consent had not yet been obtained. A day or bo later Kendall closed with Ortega through Simpson In Oakland. As soon as Ortega was secured Kendall tele graphed Mullins that the fight had ucen arranged. Trospecta Held Sot Hood. O'Dowd and Mullins returned to Portland Wednesday and that after noon had a meeting with Kendall and Moore and were told that the pros pects did not look good for a big house. Thursday the four met again and it is said that Moore told them thnt,unlesB O'Dowd would go through with the fight on a percentage basis only, without the guarantee, it would be necessary to call the match off. After a long talk it was decided to wait until 12 o'clock yesterday, the day of the match, to settle the ques tion as to whether to call the card off or not. Jn'the meantime that referee ques tion was also looming and the box ing writers of the four Portland dailies were called to a meeting with Kendall, Moore and O'Dowd yester day. After going over the field of possibilities from 1 o'clock until after 6 o'clock In the afternoon Mullins fi nnlly agreed to Stanley McDonald. The question as to whether or not O'Dowd was going on with a guaran tee or with the privilege of percent age only evidently was not settled. Mike and Mullins allege that they thought they were iroinar to --. th. guarantee up to the time that they arrived at the Milwaukie arena, while on the other hand the Milwaukie of ficials assert that they believed that Mike was going to work on a per centage basiB. O'Dowd Demands Guarantee. At 8:20, a few minutes before the card was slated to start. George Moore, manager of the Milwaukee arena, went into O'Dowd's dressing room and asked Mike if he under stood that he was going to get a guarantee or work on percentage. Mike answered that he would go on for nothing except a guarantee and denied having given the impression that he would work on percentage only. The scene is switched to Ortega's dressing room where Ortega. Simp son, Kendall and Paddy Mullins are off on another track. Simpson 'did not arrive from Oakland until yester day and says that he did not learn that McDonald was to referee until late in the afternoon although ef forts were made to reach him at his hotel all day. Simpson stormed and eaid that there would be no fight unless Martin or Jack Orant was the third man. George Moore, seeing that It was impossible to reach any kind of a settlement, had the announcer ftep to the center of the ring with the curtain raisers ready to battle and announce that everything was on. Small House Attends. The house was small and. accord ing to Moore, there would not have been more than several hundred do lars left to pay off all the rest of the boxers and meet expenses if O'Dowd had been given his guarantee. It was left to the fans present whether they wanted to remain and witness the rest of the card or step1 out to the box office and get their money back. Several hundred filed out of the arena, the resit clamoring lor the fights to start. Those who did go out and get their money back were readmitted lor the general ad mission prjee. I he whole affair was an unfortu nate mixup and the blame might be scattered a little all round. Match maker Frank Kendall and Manager George Moore apparently did their best to fulfill their obligations. The four matches that were held resulted in draws. Eddie Shannon of Ios Angeles and Willie St. Clair negro lightweight of Sacramento, went to an eight-round draw In the top bout. Niel Zimmerman, Portland featherweight, battled Johnny Flske of Rock Island, 111., to a , six-round draw; Baby. Blue of Sacramento and Danny Edwards of Oakland, negro bantamweights, fought a six-round draw, while loung Fisher and Kid Taylor went four rounds to a draw in the first bout.

Section of Underwood Tariff L,av Held to Be Elective Under Merchant Marine Act. WASHINGTON, July 9. (By the Associated Press.) Operation of the merchant marine act will bring Into force the section of the Underwood tariff law of 1913 imposing a dis criminatory duty of 5 per cent on goods entering the United States in foreign bottoms, in the opinion of some diplomats who have studied the new shipping bill. Application of this section of the Underwood act was suspended by a decision of the supreme court in 1917 because the act provided that the discriminatory duty should not apply if in conflict with any reserved treaty right. The court held that the section was In conflict with the provision of the treaty of 1815 between the United States and Great Britain. This treaty, along with similar treaties with a score of other coun tries, must be abrogated under the section imposing the duty of the mer chant marine law. In the case of the British treaty one years notice is necessary and consequently no discriminatory duty can be imposed on goods entering the United States in British bottoms until the expiration of that period. Some diplomats believe that it was the clear intent of congress to -re serve to itself the right to impose the discriminatory - duties by future legislation, but they declare that un less such legislation is enacted before the treaties are abrogated the 5 per cent discriminatory duty imposed by the Underwood law automatically will come into force.

DREDGING PLAN INDORSED CO-OPERATIVE SCHEME DE VISED BY COLONEL S LATTERY I'nder Procramme Dredges Will Concentrate for Removing: Shoals After Spring Freshet. A programme of co-operative dredg ing in the Columbia and Willamette rivers by the United States engineers and the Port of Portland has received the acoroval of the crrief of engineers, it was announced yesterday by Lieu tenant-Colonel J. R. Slattery, com maiuling the second Portland district. The co-operative plan, devised by Colonel Slattery, provides for th concentration of all the port and gov ernment dredges in the Columbia river "channel immediately after the annual summer freshet subsides. The assistance of the port in this channel work, for which the government is responsible, will then be repaid in kind by the government dredges working in the "Willamette river.

SEATTLE GETS HEADQUARTERS Xew Shipping Board Division An nounced by Senator Jones. SEATTLE, Wash.. July 9. United States Senator Jones of Washington, today announced the receipt of a tele gram from Admiral Benson, chair man ot the United States Shipping board, informing him the board had adopted a resolution making Seattle headquarters of a new chipping dis trict to be known as the Puget Sound and Columbia River district. No news of the reported establish ment of a new shipping district on this coast had been received here last night by chipping board officials. The only effect here of such action would be to make the Portland office of the operations division report to Se attle Instead of to San Francisco as at present. During the shipbuilding period, the Pacific coast was divided Into three districts with headquarters at Seat tle, Portland and San Francsco. Ke cently the three were merged into one with headquarters at San Francisco, and business of the Portland and Puget sound offices has since been transacted through San Francisco.
