Fox and Mascott to Meet for
Featherweight Title.
FAST CARD IS PREPARED
Aolo Gordon and Jockey Bennett
Will Clat-h at Rose City Club
at 115 Pound-) Trarabitan
Will Mix Willi Cross.
Tonight's card at the RoseeCity Ath
letic Club looks like the best held in
Portland for aome time. It is well bal
anced, having a' couple of bouts In
which there should be speed to burn
and two more that should give the fans
a taste of mixing. There will be five
bouts in all.
Jimmy Fox and Billy Mascott will
mix for the featherweight champion
ship of the Pacific Coast. Fox Is her
aided as the best boxer turned out in
San Francisco since the palmy days of
Abe Attell and is the present holder of
tne coast title. Mascott ia the feather
weight champion ot the Northwest, ai
he defeated "Tex" Vernon here last
November. Vernon previously held the
title.
Abie Gordon, the idol of the Portland
newsboys, clashes with Jockey Bennett
at m pounds. Able will be out
weighed about ten pounds, but hopes
to keep dancing around and pecking
away at the veteran enough to get a
decision. This bout will settle the ban
tamweight championship of this sec-
lion of tho country.
There has been considerable interest
shown in the Valley Trambltas-Leo
Cross affair. They are 158-ppunders.
Cross has considerable more 'experi
ence than the Portland Roumanian,
but Valley expects to offset this by hia
aggressiveness.
Bill Grant and Jack Allen, 140-pound
boys, win meet In a return engage
ment. They fought a six-round bang-
up draw before the Evergreen Club of
ancouver, ash., a wee or so ago.
The curtain-raiser was originally
scheduled between Earl Zimmerman
and "Toughy" Wing at 115 pounds.
Zimmerman is ill, however, and "Kid'
Weston or some other good boy will be
substituted.
a a a
Jack Grant, who refereed bouts In
Portland in the '90s, will officiate in
the three main events.
Grant's name has been prominently
mentioned as referee In many impor-
atnt bouta throughout the entiro coun
try, th'e most notable event being the

sas City American Association club has
purchased Claud Berry, a catcher, from
ih. TMttaburir Federal League club, ac
cording to an announcement here to

Next Games.
Tonight Portland vs. Victoria, at Seattle,
Friday Seattle at Vancouver.
Friday Victoria at Portland.
Another attempt will be made to get
closer to the 1915-16 championship of
the Pacific Coast Ice Hockey Associa
tion by the Portland Uncle Sams to
night. They leave early this morning
for Seattle for the battle with the Vic
toria Aristocrats in the Seattle ice
arena tonight.
The contest originally was slated
for Victoria, but the military authori
ties have taken over the ice arena
there for the troops to drill. No more
games will be held in Victoria this sea
son accordingly.
Manager Savage and nine Uncle bams
are slated to make the trip, although
'Moose" Johnson is under the weather.
The big defense athlete was injured se
verely in the l-to-0 victory over the
Vancouver Millionaires last Tuesday
and he clearly showed that he was off
color in the game against Seattle last
Friday night.
The Uncle Sams returned home with
an 8-to-4 defeat charged to them at the
hands of the Metropolitans. Three more
games are on the schedule for the Port
landers and two of them must be vic
tories in order to win the champion
ship of the circuit. A win tonight will
make the 1915-16 race, so that there
will be no chance for the Oregonians
to obtain less than a tie at the end of
the regular season.
Victoria always has been noted for
giving the Portlanders a hard run for
their money each night. That the Aris
tocrats are in line to put up a great
match tonight can be taken from the
7-to-6 victory of the Vancouver world's
champions last Friday night. It took
11 minutes of overtime to set down the
tailenders and then it was when but
six of the losers were on tho ice.
Victoria will be the attraction in the
Portland Ice Hippodrome next Friday
night. Manager Savage has made ex
tensive preparations for a large attend
ance. Tho Uncle Sams will return to
Portland early tomorrow morning, ac
cording to present arrangements.
FEW BIRDS YET IS DANGER
Game In Eastern Oregon Faces Cold
and Starvation.
Only In Eastern Oregon are game-
birds now in danger of dying from cold
and starvation. Reports from the
game warden's office say that all of
the snow In the Willamette Valley
and in Southern Oregon has entirely
disappeared. In the eastern part of
the stale, however, the ground is still
covered and It will be necessary for the
farmers In that section to continue
feeding the game tor some time to
come.
Thanks to the farmers in other sec-
ions, few birds suffered severely from
the cold spell just concluded. Few
pheasants perished. Quite a number
of quail were lost, however. Quail
perish easier because of their tendency
to squat in the snow and refusing to
hunt shelter.

IN A BRAND NEW SUIT
which is interesting in the first
place because the Suit is so classy and
superbly tailored. But when you hear
that this man has been out of a job
for several months you'll sec at once
that there's more to this than appears
at first.
It is just this: . HE BOUGHT HIS
SUIT ON CREDIT and started to wear
it after he had paid a small fraction of
its price at C H E R K T'S CREDIT
CLOTHING STORE.
When, the other day, he found just
the opening he'd been looking for, ho
knew he couldn't be really "fit" to
undertake the work without a natty
Suit, Of course, that didn't bother him,
because he knew about CHERRY'S,
and that's where he got fitted to tho
pippin ' he's wearing today.
They'll be glad to see you at that
popular shop on Washington street and
show you all the latest styles and fab
rics in clothing, both for men and
women. The number is 389-391 Wash
