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. Hung Low, the Chinese boy
who boxes Frankie Warren, will be
seeking revenge for the beating the
latter handed out to Wing Low. a
lighter Chinese boy than himself, at a
recent show. Sammy Bloom, who meets
Ray Leonard, is a Portland youth, who
will appear for the first time. He says
that he knocked out Sammy Morris, of
Kan Francisco, in a workout the other
day.
Frankie Sullivan boxes Lloyd Mad
den, of Seattle, for the Northwest light
weight championship at Tacoma to
night. Jimmy Duffy meets Bert Forbes in
one of the main preliminaries to the
IMdie Pinkman-Archie Wyard main
event of the Seattle Athletic Club's

yesterday morning. He came to this
city to put on a skating exhibition at
-the Portland Ice Hippodrome last Fri
day night.
ICE SERIES DATE SUGGESTED
Patrick Wants World's Hockey Play
to Open at Seattle March 16.
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. (Spe
cial.) The Seals only had one workout
today, most of the morning being taken
by Wolverton's talk. He came to a
complete understanding with every
player.
Hoy Corhan practiced at shortstop
for the first time, alternating with Hol
lywood. Corhan didn't exert himself.
Indications point to his playing in the
games between the Seals and Cub Yan
nigans. however.
George Maisel covered third base In
the practice, Charley Pick remaining
Indoors. Pick took some medicine last
night.
"Pepper."
That one word tells the story of the
workout. Each player was wringing
wet when Wolverton called a halt.
The scheduled game between the
Seals and a picked team of Sacramento
players has been postponed, until
Thursday.
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.
Erickson reported this morning and
worked out. He looks fine.
SEATTLE CHAMPS LOSE
TAXCOITER MILLIONAIRES TAKE
FAST GAME, 6 TO 4.
Mackay, for Winner, Is Star on Ice,
His Back-Checking and Stick
Work Being Remarkable.
SEATTLE, Wash., March 6. (Spe
cial.) The Seattle hockey team pulled
a prize move when It stepped out and
tucked the little old Coast champion
ship away before Frank Patrick sent
his Millionaires at them, for the Can-
Mian speed boys, their ire aroused over
being nosed out of the title by Mul
doon's men, appeased their wrath to a
certain extent by trimming the champs
tonight in the first of the series of
post-season games, 6 to 4.
It wasn t a regular scheduled game.
but it was Just as interesting an affair
as If the title was at stake, instead of
gold medals. The visitors were the
better team tonight.
bix-man hockey was Introduced to
local fans with the contest, and the
Eastern style of play was popular.
With one man on each team ruled off
the play was fast and spectacular, with
the spectators given a better oppor
tunity of seeing every play.
Little Mackay was a tower of strength
to his team, his work out-shining that
of every other man on the ice. His
back-checking broke up a couple of
dozen Seattle plays, while hi3 stick
handling was of high-class order.
Tne Mets did not work well together
at the six-man style, and it was at this
brand of hockey that the visitors won.
The Millionaires' defense especially
starred at this game.

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.
Every baseball booster in Portland
is invited.
The following attended the meeting
yesterday afternoon at 821 Electric
building: W. P. Strandborg. J. Ed.
Werlein. James J. Richardson. Roy W.
Edwards." Ray Barkhurst, Ted Serr,'
John J. Higgins. A. M. Grilley, F. W.
Peters and Harold C. Jones.
Roy W. Edwards was elected presi
dent for the coming year. He was
vice-president last season. John J.
Higgins was chosen vice-president and
Harold C. Jones secretary. J. Ed. Wer
lein Is the retiring president. Mr. Wer
lein received a vote of thanks for his
efforts of last year when the organiza
tion went through a successful session
and was named chairman of this term's
executive committee, which follows:
J. Ed. Werlein, chairman: A. M. Grilley
VT. T. Pangle, F. W. Peters and Ray
Barkhurst.
W. P. Strandborg Is chairman ot the
publicity committee, which is composed
of these men: W. P. Strandborg, chair
man; Ted Serr, vice-chairman- George
Bertz, Don Thompson. Lou Kennedy
and Harry M. Grayson.
"Twenty thousand for an opener"
will again be the slogan this year. 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.
LOS ANGELES, Cal., March 6. (Spe
cial.) Showing more snap to their
work than they have at any time this
Spring, the Angels went through a two
hours' workout at Washington Park
today.
Unless Vaughn shows up soon Chance
Is likely to get an lnfielder from the
Cubs and send Vaughn to the North
western League.
Butler, who wanted S3700 for his sea
son's work, may draw a suspension un
less a deal can be made with a club
in the East for him.
Charles Weeghman, president of the
Cubs, asked Chance today what play
ers he would like to get from the Cubs
and Chance answered that 'he would
rather wait a few days before making
a selection.

OAK REGS BEAT YANS, 5 TO 2
Middleton Plays With Rooks and Is
Star in Field and at Bat.
BOTES SPRINGS, Cal.. March 6.
(Special.) Del Howard's hired men put
more ginger into their forenoon work
out and their afternoon bout between
the regulars and the Tannlgans today.
Today was the first time since camp
was established that Howard has re
quired his men to report for morning
as well as afternoon practice and the
boys were well tired at the close.
In the afternoon Roxey Mlddleton's
Tannigans held themselves on an even
keel for seven Innings, but they faded
away in the seventh and took the short
end of a 5-to-2 score.
What the Yans would have done with
Middleton on the other side is sad to
consider. Roxey made five putouts.,
most of them of the variety that nov
ices would never have garnered, and
laced one ball to center field for a
homer.
Three Oaks were sent to the discard
today. The late departed are as fol
lows: Stobener. outfielder; Albert
Ross, catcher; Frank Hammond, ln
fielder. Still more are to follow.

seven games so far, but Manager Brosy
has found it hard to obtain opponents,
as most of them seem to be afraid of
his squad.
Now that the basketball season Is
completed, baseball and track will be
the main form of sports to attract the

WINNER PLAYS VANCOUVER
Amateur Championship Tonrney to
Open at 8:15, With Skating Af
terward Lincoln Students
Remember Coach Murray.
Hostilities between the Multnomah
Amateur Athletic Club and the Seattle
Athletic Club will be resumed tonight,
but while several boxing bouts may be
staged in the evening, the main at
traction will be the opening game for
the 1917 Pacific Coast amateur Ice
hockey championship. The match will
be held in the Ice Palace and on Fri
day night the winner of the.Seattle
Multnomah match will try to obtain
all rights by trimming the Vancouver,
B. C, amateurs here.
President L. A. Spangler. of the Port
land Amateur Ice Hockey Association,
under whose - auspices the four-day
amateur celebrations are to be held, an
nounced last night that the officials
for tonight's affair would not be de
cided until the Seattle puckchasers ar
rived but that In all probability
"Moose" Johnson, and Clem Loughlln
will be the referee and judge of play.
The game will be called promptly at
8:15 o'clock, and three 20-mlnute peri
ods will be held. Immediately after
the embrogllo spectators will have an
hour's ice skating, as will be the case
after the Friday night battle.
It is almost impossible to compare
the Seattle Athletic Club septet with
that of the Multnomah Amaeur Ath
letic Club. Both teams had a hard run
to win the championship of their re
spective circuits. The Sound city dele
gation won from the Automobile Club,
2 to 0. Monday night, while last week
Multnomah won from the O. W. R. &
N. runners-up by a close shutout.
Captain Ed Leslie hopes to have his
strongest lineup In the fray tonight.
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. '
The Seattle amateurs are due to ar
rive in Portland early.- this afternoon.
They will be taken on a tour of in
spection .through the spacious Mult
nomah Amateur Athletic Club and din
ner will be taken in the club dining
room tonight.

Pacific Coast Ice Hockey Association.
Three out of the four official scorers
picked him.

ident Spangler last night said: "Bring
