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.
