From IS to 24 rounds of boxing, contesting- of six good matches and two headline wrestling numbers, will com prise Portland's second interclub box ing and wrestling programme of the Kason in the Multnomah Amateur Ath letic Club gymnasium tonight. Ath letes of Multnomah Club and Seattle Athletic Club clash in four of the events. The Seattle Athletic Club boys, in charge of William Inglls and Wres tling Instructor Vance, are expected in Portland this morning. Multnomah mltt-mat exponents wound up a stren uous training period last night with light work and are fit for the third in terclub programme of the season to night. "Three of the four bouts must go to Portland boys if we are to have an even break on the season, and we are jroing to win that number and possibly four," is the optimistic declaration of Kdgar Frank, Indoor athletic chairman of Multnomah Club. Home Crowd May Help. "I don't say that we are going to win three and possibly four of the matches, because the Seattle boys are to be outclassed, but with every man In good conditions and full of spirit of winning, and the homo ring and home crowd assisting, there Is no good reason why we should not take a ma jority of the bouts." explained Frank. Runchie and Rothus, 124-pound wres tler and 135-pound boxer, respectively, are known to Portland followers of the amature games, and are generally Tated as good, if not better than Grap pler Clibborn and Boxer Gay. their op ponents. Croshaw, middleweight box er, and Sieger, heavyweight wrestler, on the other hand, have never appeared before a Portland audience and the fans have no line on their ability. The experience of Sieger, the Ballard. Wash., heavyweight, will have much to do with his success or failure against George McCarthy, the .Mult nomah Club middleweight. Con-vill,- the football player, was sched uled to meet the Seattleite, but an in Jury to his wrist relegated him to the spectators' gallery. McCarthy, the middleweight, had been flopping all opponents about at such a, pace in the workouts that Eddie O'Connell imme diately named him for the bout despite the discrepancy In weight. Mc Carthy will weigh 165 pounds, but un less Sieger la an experienced matman the superior speed and knowledge of "inside" grappling will enable the Portland man to meet the invading giant on an equal footing. Gsy Fares Hard Match. Lorrie Gay, the lightweight who de feated "Knockout" Billy Spencer, the Spokane champ, will have a real test against Rothus. Rothus was a clever man and a hard hitter as a 125-pounder nnd is better with 10 pounds additional weight. He is as clever as Gay and a hard hitter, so will press the Winged ".XT' man to the limit. The preliminaries, or special events, should produce several good bouts. The Columbus Club has four good men entered and Multnomah two. The boxing bouts will consist of three three-minute rounds, with an ad ditional period to decide a draw, while the wrestling bouts will be for the best two In three falls, 15 - minute bouts. The programme, which Is open to the public, will start at 8:30 o'clock. The officials of the bill will be: Jack Grant, boxtng referee; Frank Harmar and Joe Smith, boxing Judges: Herbert Greenland, wrestling referee: .F. E. Watklns and George Parker, timers.

A. Bean, of Eugene. Some of the cities in the league will be Albany. Troutdale, Eugene. Baker, La Grande, Vancouver. Camas, Rose burg, Salem, Ashland and Portland.

Holohan, vice-president of the State Sportsman's Association, in discussing tne aepanure last night. "At present the difficulty lies in keeping up interest in the practice shoots. If the scattergun experts know they are competing against some other team they will naturally take more In terest in the shoots. "The scheme is to let every man at the traps be a participant but only the top five scores to count in the interclub averages.

"There is no use in me taking a chance with these big fellows, as a man like Britton would weigh around 140 pounds, or 10 pounds more than me, should he weigh In at 135 at 3 o'clock," says Ad. "I have plenty of chances to make good money with boys nearer my own weight. Ritchie is the chap I am after and if I should lose to one of these light welters my chances would be slim for a return bout." Hogan Falls to Iand Pape.

He says the enforced Immersion is extremely weakening. Instructor Cavill's longest stay in the water was 12 hours. It took him 12 hours to swim 10 miles In the ocean off South Australia several years ago. Robert C. Watson, new president of the United States Golf Association, is a great hunter and has a large pre serve in Canada. Mr. Watson has been secretary of the United States Golf As sociation for some time.

Frank Gotch says his match with Tom Jenkins, February 22, 1903, at Cleveland, when Jenkins beat him de cisively, was his second hardest tusslo. Gotch declares that Jenkins is the strongest wrestler in the world. This match, like the later one at Belling ham. Wash., when Gotch won the cham pionship, was one of the roughest on record. Jenkins won the first fall in 1:65. after the two had been on their feet for an hour and a half, and the second fall in 12 minutes on a Jaw lock that looked suspiciously like a strangle hold. Billy Nolan, manager of Willie Ritchie, gets 35 per cent of all the lightweight champion's earnings, ac cording to Ad Wolgast. Tom Jones, the Cadillac boy's representative, has a contract calling for 20 per cent. Wol gast says he wouldn't take Nolan if he offered to serve for 10 per cent. Southerners playing in the big leagues are apparently the worst hold outs. Ty Cobb leads with a demand for $15,000. Then Joe Jackson de murred at the Cleveland offer for sev eral weeks before final appeasement. Qcrrill Pratt, of the St. Louis Browns, thinks he is worth $1000 more than he is offered, and Bud McTigue. an other Southern Leaguer, demands a substantial boost at Boston. Lou Litschi. of the Vernon club, has an unique record. He has been play ing ball for six years. Tho first three years he played on pennant winninfr teams and the last three on second place teams that were up fighting for the pennant until the final stretch. Pitcher Jim Wlggs former Coaster, has this to say of Jlmmie Riordan, Mc credie's new kid catcher: "There ia one busher who catches me to perfec tion."
