A match was promised to Fred Fulton, of Rochester. Minn., with.

The Minnesota fighter spent some time with Willard today.- Fulton an nounced that he would go to Milwaukee tomorrow and try to arrange a match with Moran. WOMEN SPONSOR BOUT EFFORT MADE TO HAVE WILLARD MEET GARPESTltR, Miss Anne Morgan and Mlsa Elisabeth Mar bury Would Make Clash Benefit French Soldiers. NEW YORK, Dec. 6. The proposed 10-round, no-decision boxing bout be tween George Carpentier, heavyweight champion of Europe, and Jess Willard, the American champion, has among its sponsors Miss Anne Morgan and Miss Elizabeth Marbury, it was learned to day. Miss Morgan Is treasurer" of the American fund for the French wounded, under the auspices of which it is hoped to bring Carpentier here. Miss Marbury, who is also actively inter ested in the French fund, said that her interest in the proposed bout was solely to see that the $50,000 which she hopes the fund would receive from the pro ceeds was properly handled. "Miss Anne Morgan and I willingly consented several weeks ago, when ap proached on the subject, to see that the funds, whether amounting to this sum or more, be forwarded to France for the purpose intended," Miss Marbury is quoted as saying. "George Carpentier Is badly needed at the front these days, for his duties are such that his place would be hard to fill. It will take much effort if French officials are finally prevailed upon to extend him leave, although they may be told that a few months here would mean much for French women and children. "If he finally does come over and the bout is held, the public can be assured that the money contributed through the purchase of tickets will be used for the purpose stated. That, I wish to repeat, is the only reason Miss Mor gan and I are interested at all in the proposition. , CARPENTIER PREFERS FLYING French Pugilist Says Match With Willard Up to Army Chiefs. PARIS, Dec. 6. The personal desire of Georges Carpentier, the French avia tor and champion heavyweight pugilist of Europe, is to remain with the French flying corps at the front, a desire he expressed each time an offer from the United States to arrange a bout for him has been received. The report that he has been given a furlough for a naWh in New York with Jess Willard is at least premature. From the reports received here. It appears that Carpentier by boxing in the United States would contribute ap preciably to the war relief funds, and his manager, Francois Des Camps, told the Associated Press today that Car pentier might go to America, provided he received permission. Thus far, how ever, ho definite proposition for a bout between Carpentier and Willard has been received here. Miss Elizabeth Marbury, who is prominently connected with French war relief work in New York, has been authorized, said Des Camps, to act for him in any negotia tions in the United States. Carpentier, who is in Paris on a few days' leave of absence, was seen by the Associated Press representative to day. He appeared to be in excellent condition. Carpentier said he was not thinking at present about boxing, but his pugilistic business was always in the hands of Des Camps, his teacher from the age of 14 and his manager during all his boxing career. Flying, he added, had in no way slowed him up. and life at the front had been excellent training for him. M. Des Camps asserted that the re appearance of Carpentier in the ring Deiore tne end or the war depended on the French military authorities, , and, second, on the proposition that might be received.

Gray. drafted last September by the Chicago American League club from the Wich ita club of the Western League, was today declared a free agent unless he has signed with the Chicago club since being drafted. Gray claimed to be a free agent be cause of the fact that when the Wich ita .club was turned over to the West ern League, owing to alleged financial difficulties, his salary was unpaid to the extent of $157.32. The commission ruled that. Inasmuch as this money had not been paid, the player had the pre rogative of either playing with the team under promise of being paid back salary at a later date, or of refusing to play. The player refused to play, and contended that by so doing auto matically he became a free agent when his back salary was not paid within a reasonable length of time. He was upheld in this contention by the commission. "STRONG MAN'S" DARE TAKEN Ben Boardsen, Oregon City, to Meet I. A. Johnson for Mat Title. OREGON CITY. Or., Dec. 6. (Spe cial.)

Manager E. H. Savage was highly pleased with the way his men went, despite the fact that they had been together but shortly more than a week. Unlike last Friday s match, when they weakened the last period, the Uncle Sams braced Tuesday night against Seattle and it was not until the last five minutes of play that they grew weary from the pace. By tomorrow night Manager Savage is confident that his athletes will be just right to score their first victory of the 1916-17 sea son of the Pacific Coast Ice Hockey Association. The surprise Tuesday night was the 6-to-4 trimming suffered by the Van couver Millionaires by the Spokane Canaries on the Inland Empire Rink.

Manager fete Muldoon and lm Gent Speaking of Men's Suits, Overcoats and Raincoats from every point of view qual ity, price and style, I know 'that my UPSTAIRS store offers you more for your money than it is possible to get elsewhere barring none. What more need I say, other than to ask you to come UPSTAIRS and put my state ments to the test. Here's some preliminary UPSTAIRS evidence: mS Open Saturday Evenings puckchasers will arrive from Seattle tomorrow, according to word received by Manager Savage last night. Fred Ion, of Vancouver, B. C. who refereed at Seattle Tuesday night, will handle the Seattle-Portland embroglio alone. Judge Arthur N. Dayton will be the timer with Ray Ward as the penalty timer. A capacity house greeted the two teams at Seattle, while reports from Spokane are to the contrary. How ever, as Tuesday's was the first game ever seen in Spokane it is likely that the crowds will pick up as the season progresses. According to several Portlanders who witnessed the game in Seattle Tuesday, the Uncle Sams scored two goals which were not allowed and the winning goal was made from an off-side play. Cap tain Foyston, of Seattle shot the puck wide of the net, but it struck Riley's skate, who was offside, and went into the net. Referee Ion allowing it. Tommy Dunderdale shot one goal but it bounded out of the net and was not allowed, while Charley Tobin netted the rubber disc, but it was called back on a questionable offside. Tobin himself was not offside, but Stan Marples hap pened to be skating ahead of him and. although Marples did not have any thing to do with the shooting of the puck, it was not permitted.

Iowa, was to night elected captain of the Yale foot ball team for next season. He has been on the varsity eleven for two years as an end and tackle. His work in the Princeton and Har vard games this Fall was brilliant. Gates was chosen after Clinton R. Black, the retiring captain, had de clined re-election.
