Coach Hugh Bezdek and his Marine warriors were wrapped In gloom tonight when Train er Uill Hayward announced It impossi ble for "Brick" Mitchell, star left end, to enter the fray. Mitchell wrenched his knee early in the week during scrimmage, and has been under the care of Trainer Hayward and two phy sicians, who have exerted every energy to put the injured member in such shape as to permit his starting tomor row's game. But Bill Hayward gave up all hope tonight when he said Am brose (Montana) would cavort at end. Marines Have Last Workout. Under the watchful eye of Bezdek and Hayward, the Marines worked out at Tournament Park this afternoon while Old Sol saturated the gridiron with his blazing rays. After Johnny Beckett demonstrated his ability to punt the ball for 60 yards or more, Bez dek sent the team through signal prac tice the remainder of the time. The boys showed plenty of dash. Quarter back Brown worked fast and the team "Doing far more than It is possible for most men to do.

In my bout with Gene Del raont at St. Paul recently one-third of my share went to the Red Cross. In Denver, when I stopped 'Sailor Kirke, I agreed to allow the Elks, who pro moted the show for the benefit of the Red Cross, to take half of the receipts, which amounted to $9000, for the cause. In Cleveland, when I fought Toughey Ramsey, they told me that the show was for a war fund. They offered me J4000 for my end ant I told them promptly to cut it to $1500 for the benefit of the boys in khaki. , 'Mind you, our hotel bills werjfully $300 during our stay.

There is no question about this action being distinctly favorable to such important and deserving projects as ours." It will be pointed out t Govern ment officials at the opportune time that with only one line of rail trans portation up and down the Pacifio Coast the protective equipment on the Coast might be easily demoralized. The completion of the link to Bend would furnish a second artery east of the Cascades which might prove of inestimable value in emergency. The building of the lines into the now un developed area of the state, moreover, will prove an important factor in in creasing the country's food supply. 1.

If Sommers wins he will nave tnree Northwestern titles to his credit the middleweight, light-heavyweight and heavyweight. He will enter the ring etching about 160 pounds and Is con fident that he will make Mclntyre ex tend himself in their four-round battle. Sommers has been going better the last few months than any time during his career. Al can boast that he has been defeated only twice one time by heavyweight, Lowe Simms. and tbe other by Mike Gibbons, regarded by many as the greatest middleweight In the world. In a return match with Simms Al came back strong and fought hira off his feet, the bout ending in a raw. Among the Pacific Coast middle- weights whom Sommers has met are Valley Trambitas. Jack Downey, "Mexi can Kid" Carter, Frank Parslow, Romeo Hagen. Earl Miebus and Val Sontag. If Sommers gets by or holds Mclntyre to a draw he probably will be matched here with Battling Ortega, of Oakland, middleweight champion of the Pacific Coast, in the near future. Joe Flanlgan, who is managing Som mers, thinks that Al is too good for any of the boys at 158 pounds in this part of the country and predicts a bright future for bis protege in the middle weight ranks. Benny Leonard, lightweight champion of the world, is up in arms over the criticism being heaped on his shoul ders by some of the critics and follow ers of the boxing game for engaging in an occasional bout. Leonard claims that he is doing yeoman service for Uncle Sara, in that he is filling the coffers of the Army funds by giving a percentage of his purses. "I've been directly responsibls for $200,000 being turned into the Red Cross and soldier funds since our coun try entered the war," said the cham pion in New York the other day. "I'm doing my bit," h said seriously, j The interpretation placed upon this regulation by the Attorney-General will not interfere with the work being per formed either by thp office of the United States Attorney or the office of the United States Marshal in pro tecting the restricted district," said Mr. Reames yesterday.
