score a lot of runs, but not enough to
win the game.
Del Howard used 17 men trying to
pull out a victory and even went in as
a pinch hitter himself. In the ninth in

pop fly. Hack Miller drove in three
runs with two hits and a sacrifice fly,
and In the eighth with the bases full

GOLFER ARMSTRONG IS LOW
Ever elnce James J. Corbett found
Tom Cowler In a cheap Portland lodging-house
some two years ago, the big
Englishman's protruding Jaw has been
getting badly battered by all the heavy
weights in captivity. Memory of Cow
ler was refreshed yesterday when Jack
King came around displaying a letter
rom the big fellow in which Corbett a
rotege said he was contemplating a
trip west and would like to appear
here.
Cowler ought to confine his training
stunts to jaw work. If he could learn
to breathe with his chin stuck down In
his neck or find some other way of
hiding the target on the end of his
chin, or become able to take hard blows
on the point of the chin, he would be
good fighter. He la fast on his feet
and very clever with his hands, but
sticks that chin out and Invites
trouble. It is like waving a. flag in
front of a bull.
Big Tom waa going great guns In
England in 1911 when he met Prank
Moran for the first time In London.
Moran took a few wallops to port and
starboard and tacked around the ring
for five or six rounds and then glanced
at his target- In the opening of the
lxth he turned his heavy batteries
right under Cowler's masticating ap
paratus and Thomas didn't hear the
referee count 10.
Same situation the other night in
New York. Cowler bounced one to the
side of Moran's head after the bell
rang In the fourth round, and Moran
got all peeved up about it. After try
ing out a terrific smash to the heart
he landed a right to the chin and Cow
ler arose at the count of nine only to
go down again & few seconds later for
a full tally.
Dillon did the same thing In the sec
ond round at Brooklyn, February of
last year. He bounced across the ring
and placed an overhand right in the
proper place, and Cowler didn't fully
wake up until about 15 minutes later in
the dressing-room.
Fulton pursued like tactics only two
or three months ago, the only dlffer-
nce being that he turned the trick in
the first round. Cowlefa jaw will soon
take its place in ring records as the
greatest piece of porcelain ever toted
by a boxer. You have to go early to see
him fight.

End Comes for Milwaukee Boxer In
Seventh Round When GothanUta

MILWAUKEE, Wis., April 19. Benny
Leonard, of New York, lightweight,
scored a knockout over Richie Mitchell.
Milwaukee. In the seventh round of a
scheduled ten-round no-decision boxing
bput tonight.
The blow that ended the bout was
a stiff right swing to the jaw.
Leonard had Mitchell a little groggy
as early as the second round when he
whipped a right across to the chin,
forcing the Milwaukee boy to one knee.
Mitchell held the New Yorker even
n the third and fourth rounds and in
the fifth had a shade by carrying the
fight to Leonard throughout.
The sixth was even. The seventh
had not been going more than a min
ute when Leonard, in a hot mlxup,
drove in a lightning-like right cross
which caught Mitchell on the chin
forcing him to his knees. Mitchell
took nine of the count and when he
arose Leonard fairly showered him
with rights and lefts all around the
ring, rendering the Milwaukee boy
helpless. At this stage Referee Duffy
separated the fighters and helped
Mitchell to his corner, ending the con
test.

scheduled with Northwest Conference
colleges, four each with the Univerpl

Coach Bohler stated today that he
had not received definite word from

La Grande Vs. Woodburn, Pendleton
Vs. Astoria . and Salem Vs.
Canemah on Card.
It has been decided that the Columbia-Willamette
Trapshooters Associa
tion tournament for The Oregonian
trophies will start next Sunday. The
starting date originally was announced
for last Sunday, but through a misun
derstanding two of the seven clubs did
not compete. The result was that the
scores for last Sunday will not count in
the league race.
The original schedule will be used
with the exception that the contests
scheduled for last Sunday's will be shot
at the end of the campaign, Sunday
June 3. Next Sunday La Grande will
meet Woodburn, Pendleton will battle
Astoria and Salem will break blue
rocks with the Canemah Club, of Ore
gon City. Albany will be idle for the
day.
Hereafter the club falling to shoot
will forfeit the match, because the
schedule cannot run too long before
the regular tournament season will be
breaking into the shooting.
Following is the schedule for the
tournament:
April 22 La Grande versus Woodburn,
Salem versus Oregon City. Pendleton versus
Astoria, Albany idle.
