14 THE MORNING OliEGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, 3IAKC1T 7, 1917. C Am PI-JOHNSON GO RESULTS White Boy Lands More Blows Than Negro, but Latter's Hits Are Harder. MITCHELL BEATS SIMPSON Englishman Has No Chance in Bout With Australian Mitchie and Meredith Put Up Best Bat tle on Programme. Eddie CampI, of San Francisco, and Lee Johnson, of Oakland, boxed six good rounds to a draw in the main event of the Golden "West Athletic League's card at the Rose City Athletic Club last night. Campl landed a few more punches, but those of his colored adversary had more snap in them. Johnson tried to make a killing; in the last round but failed. Campl had a shade the better in the majority of the rounds. Other results of the average card fol low: 155 pounds Sid Mitchell, of Seattle, 'on decision over Nichol Simpson, of England. 138 pounds Pete MItchle boxed Ted Meredith, of Bremerton, to a draw. 190 pounds Joe Clifford boxed "Pinkey" Lewis, of San Francisco, to a draw. 130 pounds Shel McCool scored tech nical knockout over "Ping" Bodle in fifth round. 130 pounds Ed Olson and Frank Warren boxed to a draw. Both reared around San Francisco Bay, Camp! and Johnson had to come to Portland before facing: each other. The bout would have packed any audi torium in San Francisco, but at the time when both could have boxed down there Eddie was a, little lighter. Recently he has taken on weight and consequently no longer dreaded the African bone-crusher. Johnson weighed pounds last night, as against 123 for Campl. Johnson hit the San Franciscan on the chin several times with, his famed right, and, although he shook his op ponent up a few times, at no time was Campl in danger. A straight left jab, left hook to the stomach and an oc casional right cross were Campi's chief means of attack. Campl hit Johnson low Just before the final bell. Nichol Simpson looked like a "brass nickel" in his tilt with Sid Mitchell, a rangy Australian from Seattle. Both boys were awkward, and. although there were many punches landed, the crowd did not warm up to the battle. Simpson appeared very tired from the outset, and at no time had a chance. Ted Meredith and Pete Mitchie put Up the best affair of the night. It was a hummer. With the scrap even until the third Meredith out loose and with a. left hook cut Mitchie above the right eye and then crossed him with his right hand, nearly ending the tangle. The cut bled profusely, and Mitchie looked bad as he went to the corner. Meredith took the fourth round, and then came the game Mitchie. He came out of his corner in the fifth like a wildman, and took the round by using a. straight left and crossing with the "two end" of the punch. He battled Meredith off his feet in the sixth. Jack Grant refereed the three main bouts, Roy Kendall the heavyweight set-to, and "Denver Ed" Martin the first two. Portland's next boxing chow will be staged by the Western Club at the Rose City Athletic Club March 13. The six bouts to be presented have already ibeen arranged. They follow: 118 pounds Frankie Sanders, of New Tork, vs. Jimmy Duffy. 123 pounds Eddie Miller, of Ban Fran cisco, vs. Billy Nelson. 190 pounds Joe Clifford vs. Frank Ken dall. 133 pounds Pete Mitchie vs. Tommy Clark. 130 pounds Hun Low vs. Frankie War ren. 130 pounds Sammy Bloom vs. Ray Leon ard. Frankie Sanders was scheduled to ar rive last night. He is one of the best bantamweights In the game. Eddie Miller is due In tomorrow morning from Seattle.

VANCOUVER, B. O, March 6. (Spe cial.) President Frank A. Patrick, of the Pacific Coast Hockey Association, has suggested that the first of the world's series games between Seattle end the National , Hockey Association champions be played in Seattle March 16. "If the second game of the National Xlay-off is in Ottawa March 10 I do not see any reason why the winners of the play-off between Ottawa and Canadiens cannot leave on the mid night train," said President Patrick. "They would arrive In Vancouver the morning of March 15 and in Seattle the same evening. With one day's rest they could easily play Seattle March 16. The Portland team last year ar rived in Montreal on Sunday night and played the first game of the world's fceries Monday night and won it." HOCKEY SHOT COSTS $5 000 Bernio Morris Goal Expensive to Players and League. VANCOUVER, B. C, March 6. (Spe cial.) If Bernle Morris, of the Seattle Mets, had stopped to think In Portland cn Friday night when he shot the goal that won the game and the champion ship for Seattle and the league scoring honors for himself he might never have let it loose, or at least he might have become nervous and fumbled the puck. For that shot will go down in the his tory of hockey as the "five-thousand-dollar shot." Bernle probably had no Idea how much money his shot was go ing to cost. For If Portland had won. Vancouver would probably have defeated Spokane here Saturday and the play-oof would Ifi DRAW have netted at least $5000 for the league in gates, not to mention the Players getting a week's extra salary. Altogether it looks as though Bernle Morris' shot was the most expensive in hockey history. SEALS HAVE SNAPPY PRACTICE Corhan Begins AVork at Short, Re Placing Hollywood. SACRAMENTO, Cal., March 6.

Jack Coffey, former Seal, has re quested Wolverton to turn over his surplus twirlers when he cuts down his squad. Coffey is managing the Des Moines club.

IKVE HIGG1NBQTHAM FOR PLAGE Veteran Pitcher Asks for One More Trial With Beavers, Saying He's in Shape. 1916 RECORD IS NOT GOOD Former Hero of Portland Fandom Indicates He Is Free Agent. Baseball Boosters Called f to Session Saturday. BY HARRT M. GRATSON. Who do you think wants to come back to Portland? No one else but Irve Hlgglnbotham, that grizzled veteran of the National pastime who for nearly six years toiled on the hillock for McCredle; the same Hlggy who for season after season was the hero or the Portland fans; the same Higgy who single-handed practi cally pitched the Beavers to their last pennant in 1914. In a special delivery letter mailed from Yates Center. Kan., Hig's home town, and received at baseball head quarters yesterday. Iron-armed Irve speaks as If he is a free agent. Hlg glnbotham was sold by Portland to Oakland in the middle of last season. His work with the OaKs was as bad as It had been the few months previous with the Beavers and he was as out of place in the Coast League as a faro layout in a Sunday school. Consequent ly Hlggy was cut off the Oakland pay roll and the big pitcher with hands like bunches of bananas was as friend less as an alarm clock. Hlg cast his line once more and caught on with the Des Moines, la., club, where his record was far from imposing. He took part In 20 games with Des Moines, winning seven and losing 12, while In the Coast League with Portland and Oakland he started 28 times, winning but four and walk ing to the bench raging from disap pointment on nine different occasions. The average earned runs scored against him last season in this great Western circuit was 4.48. Hlggy says that he Is in better shape than he has been for the last three seasons. He declares that Walter Mac can send him to the Northwestern League if he cannot use him. Any place In this part of the country will suit the veteran, It seems. The old warrior also takes a rap at George Stovall, manager of the Vernon team. He evidently has read Stovall's roast of McCredle and in his letter tells Wal ter that he pitched for Portland for nearly six years and never had any trouble or saw any one else dissatis fied. " George S. Shepherd and Hugh Mc Credie. in charge of baseball head quarters during the absence of the Me Credies, answered Irve yesterday, in forming him that Walter McCredle would be advised of his letter upon his arrival In California. They told Hig to write Walter at Stockton so that he will be able to .get prompt action on the subject In case he decides to give Higginbotham another trial or place him in the Northwestern League. With a determination to place 20,000 persons at Vaughn street when the Portland and San Francisco clubs open the Pacific Coast League season In Portland, April 17. the Portland Base ball Boosters will meet at luncheon Saturday at 12:10 o'clock In the tea room which connects the ballroom and the assembly hall on the mezzanine floor of the Multnomah Hotel.

Higgins was chosen vice-president and Harold C. Jones secretary. J. Ed. Wer lein Is the retiring president.

It is planned to have an outline of attack all drawn up and ready to be submitted to Judge W. W. McCredie, president of the Portland baseball club, on his re turn. There Is a move on foot to form a woman's auxiliary. The Portland Baseball Boosters will strive to get all of Portland's fraternal and other organizations to join In the opening day parade and to have all semi-professional, school and other baseball nines in the procession. Representatives of the various Port land baseball teams are urged to attend Saturday's luncheon. CHAXCE MAY PUNISH VAUGHN Ex-Beaver May Be Sent to North western If He Holds Out Longer.

The late departed are as fol lows: Stobener. outfielder; Albert Ross, catcher; Frank Hammond, ln fielder. Still more are to follow.

Immediately after the embrogllo spectators will have an hour's ice skating, as will be the case after the Friday night battle.

George Gore, the big rover around whom the Winged M" representatives are pinning considerable of their faith. has not been able to secure much prac tice since his return from the Mexican border, but the way that he performed against the Railroaders last week would lead one to believe that he still has his old-time dash and speed. He was largely responsible for the championship going to the Multnomah Club for the last two years, and while rumors are out that George may not be able to get In the lineup tonight. It Is almost a certainty that Captain Leslie will not allow him to remain out of his suit. Tommy Murray, goalkeeper for the Portland Uncle Sams, has been coach ing the Lincoln High School hockey lsts. He was successful in sending the Rallsplitters to the 1917 title of the Portland lnterscholastic League, and not one defeat was charged against his proteges. As a token of appreciation the players on the Lincoln team pre sented Murray with a beautiful meer schaum pipe, accompanied with enough filler to last him a season. The pre sentation speech was made by F. L. Phipps immediately after the 2-to-0 victory of Lincoln over Columbia Uni versity, in the Ice Palace, Monday night. Arrangements are being made to have quite a delegation of Portland hockey fans Journey to Seattle to witness the coming world's series between the Se attle Mets and the winners of the Na tional Hockey Association.
