BOYS WIND UP HARD
TRAINING WORK-OUT
Billy Williams Ready to Put Up
Great Front Before Fast
Muff Bronson.
BRANDON MEETS GORDON
Johnny Boscovitch Billed to Box
Soldier McDonald, Over Whom He
Already Holds Knockout De
cisionBis Vancouver Card.
Billy Williams and Muff Bronson, who
will meet in a 10-round bout in Van
couver tomorrow night, wound up their
training: routine yesterday and will
rest today.
The Bronson-Williams bout is an even
match. Bronson will meet "Weldon
Wing in Tacoma on September 27,
while Billy Williams is scheduled to
clash with Johnny Arrousez, the crack
Californlan, in Seattle on September 14.
Bronson's admirers, who have been
keeping an eye on him during his work
outs with Weldon Wing and George
Brannon, say that Muff will surprise
the fight fans and show them all of
his old-time dash and ring work.
Williams has been training faithfully
everv day and is on edge for the battle.
He realizes that this bout is the chance
of his career and intends to make the
most of it. A decisive win over Bron
son will put him in the "big league"
class of lightweights.
The bout between George Brandon
and Sammy Gordon looks like a rapid
fire mill and both boys have a large
following who will be on hand to boost
their favorite.
Johnny Boscovitch has been billed to
box Soldier McDonald, over whom he
holds a knockout. They met some time
ago In the Vancouver ring and Mc
Donald quit in the third round, claim
ing that Johnny fouled him. Referee
Bud Smith could not see it that way
and gave Boscovitch the decision.
Billy Ryan, the local 115-pounder,
will meet Jimmy Frio, a soldier sta
tioned at the Barracks, who claims, a
lot of ring victories to his credit. Ryan
displayed a lot of punching and taking
ability in his bout with Frankie Wing
the other night and will give Frio a
tough battle.
Charley Beeson, another soldier, will
take on Ed Zaharis, of Vancouver. They
weigh around 125 pounds. In case any
of the bouts fall through or, if the pro
moters decide to put another bout on
the card they have signed up Joe Hoff,
a 126-pounder.
Bud Smith will referee the main
event and semi-windup.
The boxing season will open in Seat
tle on September 14, with an all-star
card presented by Matchmaker Fred

will box Bud Ridley, Dan Salt's fast
coming bantam. Billy Williams will
meet Johnny Arrousez. Joe Gorman
will take on Charley Glvens, while
Frankie Sanders, who appeared here
several times last Winter, will meet
Charley Davidson.
Jack Dempsey boxed a slow four

hugging.

COACHES ARE SELECTED
Washington Is Only School to Be
Without All of Veteran Play
ers League Directors
to Meet Today.
At least one o( the high school prin
cipals is optimistic over the coming
season's football prospects. William
T. Fletcher, of the James John High
School, says his school will be out
fighting in every contest and playing
football for the love of tne game. Six
or seven of last year's letter men will
return to school, and with the addition
of the pick of 25 to 30 aspirants for
the team, the St. Johns school may
prove a strong contender. L. H. Strong
will coach the eleven, and if experience
counts for much Mr. Strong will be
able to turn out a fast eleven. The wet
weather seems to have started the foot
ball gossip going. The James John
students held their first workout last
night.
Washington High School turned out
for their first meeting last night and
Coach Virgil Ear) will have a task on
his hands to build a team as strong as
any that has represented the school
in the past. Not a single veteran has
returned to school, the majority of
them being in the Army.
M. D. Wells, the big Beaver trainer
and ex-policeman, has been selected to
coach the Benson "Tech" eleven. He
has been made physical director of the
school, but it was not until last night
that he was appointed football coach.
There are 300 boys enrolled in the new
trade school, and of that number 50
to 75 will make good football ma
terial. The school has its own playing
field. East Twelfth and Davis streets.
and under the guidance of Wells
should be up in the running for the
interscholastic pennant.
Franklin practiced last night with
six letter men forming the nucleus to
build a team around. Peake, "Pudge"
Brown, Captain Barbur, Pryer, Gillis
and Gage are the letter men, while
Coach Dewey has Thompson and
Haizlip, of last year's second squad.
Thompson should make a good back
field man, with a little more speed, and
would have made the team last year
only he was not eligible. Dewey has
had his men out four or five times now
and expects to get all the practice pos
sible before the season opens.
This afternoon at 4. o'clock the board
of ' directors of the Interscholastic
League will hold their first meeting of
the year at the Multnomah Amateur
Athletic Club for the purpose or de
ciding whether or not football and
athletics should be upheld in the high
schools. At the beginning of the war
all athletics, baseball and track being
In vogue at the time, were abolished.
Since that time Secretary of War Baker
has advocated athletics, and it Is more
than probable the principals will fol
low in the footsteps of Annapolis and
West Point and permit athletics with
the idea of building up the students
as a majority and not as a select few.
"TUBBY" NILES NAMED COACH
Ex-Whitman Star to Direct Klamath
High School Athletics.
KLAMATH FALLS, Or., Sept. 10.

All-Northwest team for fou. years.
Last year he taught at La Grande, Or.

He will have charge of athletics and
civics.
C. H. Koch succeeds J. S. Hogg i&
the commercial department. He is
from -3-ieter, Cal., and comes highly
recommended with 12 years' teaching
experience. J. B. Reese comes here
from the Roseburg schools as instruc
tor in chemistry and physics. He has

and is said to be a strong addition to
the faculty.

BY JAMBS J. RICHARDSON.
"Somewhere in Oregon," homeward
bound after a most successful two
weeks' road trip thanks to Georg
Stovall'a Vernon Tigers is Manager
Walter McCredie and his Beaver ag
gregation.
While the Beavers will arrive at noon
today from Salt Lake, there will be
no game until Wednesday on account
of the Los Angeles club playing a
double-header at . San Francisco yes
terday, it being Admission day in Cali
fornia.
Local fans are jubilant at the show
ing made by the Beavers and with the
exception of the double-header lost to
Salt Lake Sunday, they performed in a
most creditable manner.
Portland left home two weeks ago
with a percentage of .478 and arrived
home with an advance of 16 points. The
players fattened their batting averages
at the expense of the Vernon and Salt
Lake twirlers, this being especially true
of Griggs, Williams. Farmer and Bald
win. Lee. the ex-Marshalltown catcher.
makes his debut on the, home lot with
an average of .314.
The loss of Denny Wille, who, accord
ing to reports, will be out of the game
for a few weeks, might put a crimp in
any hope the Beavers had to take a
spurt in the percentage column. Wille s
hitting has been a big factor all season
and his Injury comes at a time when
he is sadly needed.
McCredie's pitchers, while a bit wob
bly at Salt Lake, are in good condition
to finish the season. Fincher's ex
pected appearance in a Portland uni
form was nipped yesterday when he
received a telegram to report for Army
duty at his home in Clarendon, Ark.,
September 19.
Los Angeles will play seven games
on the local lot, there being double
headers Saturday and Sunday. Kllli
fer's men always put up a strenuous
game against the Mackmen, and as they
are trying hard to keep up around
first place, the series should prove an
interesting one.
Tom Seaton, ex-Beaver, Philadelphia
National and Federal League Star, is
expected to accompany the Los Angeles
team north. Seaton. since he left Port
land to join the Phillies in 1912. has
had a varied career. While with the
Phillies during his first few years,
Seaton twirled phenomenal ball and
was made a big offer by the Federal
League to desert organized ball, which
he accepted. When the cork blew out
of Gillmore's circuit, Tom was turned
over to the Chicago Cubs, along with
the balance of Weeghman's men, and
was later sent to Los Angeles, where he
has managed to win occasionally.
m w
With Wille out of the cant Mc
Credie will give Plnelli and Lee a
chance to wear out the grass in right
field. If Borton were able to cavort
around the first cushion, Griggs would
do shunted to right, which would give
the Mackmen a world of hitting ability
in the outer garden, although Griggs
cannot cover the territory in right field
that our "lighting Harp" Denny Wilie
can.
Ed Krentlehr, groundkeeper and gen
eral overseer at McCredie's Vaughn
street orchard, was a busy man yester
day when Jupiter Pluvius was giving
Portland a bath. Ed had all the canvas
he could dig up stretched over the home
plate and pitchers', box. It is just as
well the Beavers are not home today
to play on the local lot. A few hours'
basking in the sun will put the dia
mond in nice shape.
Billy Speas, ex-Colt and Beaver ball
player. . enjoyed a successful season
with Muskegon, In the Central League.
Bill played first base and outfield and
hit in tho cleanup position. He will
spend the Winter in Toledo with Mrs.
Speas and Bill, Jr.
The sporting editor has letters for
Lyle Bigbee, Dick Kelson, Ed Bogart
and Fred Carmen.
LEADERS BEAT TIGERS TWICE
Seals Ontblt Vernon Players In
Both Games.
LOS ANGELES, Cal.. Sept. 10. After
pitching the first two innings of the
morning game, Erickson came back in
the afternoon and allowed Vernon but
five hits and San Francisco won. Cor
han was the batting star, his two tri
ples being responsible for four of the
Seals' five runs. The visitors won six
of the nine games in the series.
