HvCTrr H-JT a ne 1 1 A t -" - ' L Fred Merrill ' Counts on Forcing Match With Gruman ir ei Canadlan Champion Is Put Away by Portland Boy. Peter Mitchie is to get his chance as a main eventer. The 19-year-old bat tling German will meet Frenchy Vaise, ex-lightweight champion of Canada, In the main tussle of a six-bout card to be presented by the Rose City Ath letic Club March 23. Mitchie is a big favorite with the fans. Every time he is billed boxing fans are sure of getting their money's worth. A sensational six-round draw with Tommy Clark last Tuesday night put Pete in even stronger in the esti mation of Portland boxing bugs, many of whom thought he had an edge. "I have decided that Mitchie is now strong enough to fop a card," said Fred T. Merrill, of the Rose City Ath letic Club, last night. "He has never met a reverse and has met everyone as they have come. If he gets over Vaise I'll run Ralph Gruman into corner where he will have to meet Mitchie." The scrappy Teuton has met Tommy Clark, Kid Irish, Walter Knowlton Jack Allen, Billy Nelson, Ted Meredith and other good boys and cither beaten them or got as good as a draw. When one looks over the record of Frenchy Vaise it is easy to see that the Rose City Club Js picking no lemon for Battling Peter. Vaise s de- feat of Harry Casey at Seattle re cently is proof enough that Frenchy, once the most popular battler in the Northwest, is back in form. Vaise is a clever ring general, a shifty boxer and a hard hitter. He has beaten Johnny O'Leary, Joe Azevedo, of Sacramento; Eddie Shannon and Ray Campbell. Vaise hails from Seattle. The Rose City Athletic Club will back up its headliner with an all-star card. Eddie Campi, San Francisco feather weight, puts Referee Jack Grant and the Golden West Athletic League in a bad light in a recent letter to the San Francisco Bulletin which was published in that paper March 12. Says the, Bul letin: "Eddie Campi is a decidedly sore young man over the draw decision given him in his bout with Lee John son. "I beat Lee every step of the way,' says Eddie, 'and when the referee called it a draw the crowd hooted the decision for five minutes. They knew I was leaving for New York after the bout and they thought by favoring Johnson he would be left them as a card.' " In the opinion of Portland fans, Campi has a lot of nerve criticising an able official like Jack Grant, who was refereeing boxing matches when Campi was in knee breeches. He used poor judgment in insinuating that Jack Grant and Manager George Moore, of the Golden West Athletic League, Joined hands in an effort to hand him something so that Lee Johnson could be built into a card. The always-borlng-ln Johnson Is a much better card here right now than is Campi, believe the close followers, and with the Mltchies, the Nelsons, the Mascotts and a whole batch of boys in Seattle who can be brought here over night, Portland Is in no plight for boxing cards. Manager Moore, of the Golden West Athletic League, treated Campi nicely and has the reputation of being a square shooter. It appears to those who love the game that Campi was biting the hand that fed him when he scrawled that letter to the Bulletin. "Muff Bronson, coast lightweight champion, Jimmy Duffy and Joe Flanl gan, who handles the pair, will leave this morning for San Francisco to re main for the remainder of the month. Bronson risks his title to Dick Kendall there March 23, and will appear again -on March 80 for Dolph Thomas' Park side Club. Duffy will also take on two of San Francisco's best bantam weights. Up In Seattle, Bert Forbes admits he was knocked down by Jimmy Duffy In their bout In the Sound City the other night and wants another chance. GORE JOINS CALEB WRESTLERS Smith Throws Gannon in Contest for Edgar E. Frank Medal. George Gore is back w.ith the Mult nomah Amateur Athletic Club wres tiers again. He will be a valuable ad dition to the team and will be one of the 158-pound men entered in the Am a teur Athletic Union championships to be held in Portland in May. Bill Smith beat Lawrence Gannon In two falls in the first of last night's matches in the Edgar E. Frank medal competition. Smith took the first fall In eight minutes and the second In six minutes and 40 seconds. In the match between Os Day and George Hansen each secured a decision after 10-mlnute periods. Both men were so used up that the final bout was postponed until next Wednesday night, when it will be put on in aaai tion to the regular matches to be held that night. Last night's tussles were 'staged be fore a good-sized crowd In the Winged "M. gymnasium. WAGXEB PIRATE HOLDOUT Max Carey Signs and Fischer Agrees to Terms With Pittsburg. PITTSBURG, Pa., March 14.
