Millionaires won the game here tonight

away a bushel of Portland shots.
The final score was, Vancouver 6,
Portland 4; but it does not in the least
describe the thrilling' battle put up by
the two teams tonight.
The Rosebuds had five shots to Van
couver's one in the last frame and out
ekated the locals in all departments.
Ir-v-ln Shatter Defense.
Irvln was the individual star for the
visitors, going through the defense
time and time again, while little Mikey
McKay played a great game for Van
couver. The game was rough, and
every player on the ice got his bumps,
including the goal-keepers. "Moose"
Johnson ran into a goal post, but con
tinued and got a 10-minute penalty for
tick-throwing near the end of the
game.
Portland opened the first period with
peed and uncovered a strong attack,
led by Irvin. Harris scored on one of
XMck's passes. Vancouver rained in
three goals in the next nine minutes,
Roberts getting the first from a diffi
cult angle; Patrick the second on a
pass from behind the nets where Rob
erts had landed, and Stanley the third,
after McKay went down the ice from
end to end.
Second Period la Slower.
The second period was not as fast
and Portland had the best of the at
tack. Irvin getting by after Johnson
fhot. The third period saw Portland
die hard. Harris got through in a
waltz around two defense men. Then
Stanley put Vancouver in the lead
again on a pass from hard-working
Moynes. McKay notched the winning
taliy after taking the puck from one
end to the other through the entire
team. Then Patrick and Griffis were
banished for Infractions and Portland
got its chance.
The beautiful work of Lehman in
the Vancouver nets saved the game, for
. Irvin was able to get through but once,
although he had a score of shots.

COAST RULE IS NOT AFFECTED
Judge McCredie Says Teams Must
Have Four Youngsters.
Judge William Wallace McCredie,
president of the Portland Baseball
Company, says that the decUsion of the
National Baseball Commission handed
down at Cincinnati on Monday, wherein
it ruled that the only tests that should
be applied in the engagement of a
minor league ballplayer upon his wil
lingness to play for a salary within the
prescribed limit of the club desiring his
services should be his eligibility to
contract will not in any way affect
the "four youngster rule" adopted at
the recent Pacflc Coast League meet
ing at Salt Lake.
"The "four youngster rule' is the Pa
cific Coast League's own inner work
ing, and the National Commission has
nothing to do with it. If any of the
owners in this circuit breaks the com
pact which has been formed between
us they will be suitably fined," said
Judge McCredie.
Monday's ruling of the National Com
mission was rendered as a result of
resolutions adopted by the National
Board at New Orleans reciting that the
Muscatine club, of the Central Associa
tion, had subscribed to a rule prohibit
ing the employment of five veteran
ballplayers on its team.

Referee Rocap announced he gave
Herman nine rounds. Williams eight

Merrill has struck upon a new and
unique plan to make the boys mix. He
has in the course of arrangement three
extra bouts, which he will be able to
put on at a minute's notice if anv of
the others develop into stalling matches.
"Just as soon as I see, said Merrill,
"that any of the boys are not doing
their level best I' will pull them off
and substitute one of the other bouts.
In that way, I feel surer'that all of the
boya can be made to really mix It, for
they will know that I won't hesitate to
stop the goes if they develop into
waltzes."
Most of the battlers are local boys
who have been participating around
here for some time. However, there are
four faces on the programme that have
never before appeared here. They are
Sammy Morris, of San Francisco; Joe
Hill, of Tacoma; Jack Hadley and
