The Pacific Coast International Leasue proposes adoptlnor a 2-week a- liedulc. If Portland plays half of lis same on the road It will leave the fen with only ten weeka of baseball '. at home, which plan they certainly ' v-lll not relish. It baa been ararucd that the Seattle Shipyard a " League ptoved a thorn in tlic ld of Iave Ii'Sdale nd helped put the Seattle magnate on the rocks. When thai member of the Seattle Shipyard Leasue settled up at the end of the ' season, earn player la aald to have . drawn I1& for his season' work, which is not at all encouraging. So there must have been some other reason for Intdtl'i financial prrdlcamrnl. The stove information was gleaned from Judge M Credie yetrda.

The first game-will be played In the Neighborhood House gymnasium and the second at the B'nal B'rith Ath letic Club. Coach Leon Fabre is con fident that his B.

The sched uled three-game aeries between the B'nal B'rith team and South Park way will be the last big games of the aeaaon here. Nearly all of the player on the other teama In- the city have stored their basketball togs away and are digging out their gloves and bats, getting ready for the coming baseball season. Coach Fabre la still trying to land a game with some crack team at Camp Lewis and also haa wires out for a game at Clatskanie. Or., but has not heard anything definite yet. The South Parkway second team will probably meet some good team In a preliminary game to the bg event. Bout Is Fat Throughout 'With Sc attic Opening Gash on Port- lander's Forehead Gorman and Wins; Battle to Draw. BY JAMES J. RICHARDSON. Portland turned out its largest flgh thro7vr YV edresday night at the Kiev enth-street Playhouse, where Marty Farrell, of New York, and Al Sommers, of Portland, went six rounds to a draw The sale of seats stopped at 9 o'clock and police prevented any further influx of fans. It is estimated that fully 300 flght enthusiasts were refused admit tance to the show house. After the second bout of the evening Judge Stapleton stepped Into the ring and introduced Rev. William Wallace Youna-son, D. !., superintendent of the Methodist Churches of the Portland dis trict. who urged the fans to contribute to the Salvation Army war fund drive, $1 for each of the 600 fight fans who were refused admittance to the build inir. The fans responded generously with a shower of coin into the ring. The contribution totaled 1651.18. Port land fight audiences have contributed most generously to every worthy cause. Farrell Lacks Punch. The FarreU-Sommers bout was a dis ppointment to the banner flght crowd of the season. It was devoid of any real fighting. Farrell outboxed the Portlander at every stage and had him awlnging like a garden state, but Dlain ly snowed ne lacks the punch neces sary to etow his opponent away. Som mers put up a game and aggressive ngnt with the New Torker and took everything; Farrell had. f arrell's left hook was working over ime and ha landed on Sommers' right eye enough times in the fifth round to open up a gash which bled profusely. Sommer tried everv minute he was in the ring and forced the rlehtintr. but was unable to land any solid punches. Farrell landed by far the' majority of punches, but none of them did any dam age to Sommers. It looked like Farrell piled up enough points for a decision. ut Referee Jack Grant evidently con cluded the New Yorker failed to do nough fighting- to warrant giving him he verdict. It was a scientific boxer pitted against a fighter. Muff Bronson received the verdict over Chet Neff at the end of the sixth round. It was a fast bout, with honors bout even outside of the first and fifth rounds, which the two boxers divided. Bronson shaded Neff in the first round by using- a straight left which found an easy resting place on Neff's "beezer.' NefT was up and coming, but couldn't eep away from Bronson a rapid-fire attack. The second, third and fourth rounds weer about even, with-both lads fighting hard. fteff stepped out in the fifth inning nd opened a cut on Bronson's forehead with a wicked right-hand smash. The gore covered Muff's face until he looked the part of a "hard-boiled" In- ian. It waa Neffs round. The lads stepped lively in the sixth, and fought rd. .Twice they went sprawling hrough the ropes. It waa give and ake during the entire three minutes. Referee Grant raised Bronson's hand in token of victory at the end of the round. Joe Gorman and Weldon Wing fought six fast rounds to a draw. Wing was the aggressor, but Gorman landed by far the cleanest and hardest punches. Gorman used a short-arm Jolt which rocked the Alblna lad on numerous oc casions. In the third round Gorman had Wing wobbly and bleeding, but Wing stood his ground and gave the Oakland lad a stiff argument. Wing Improved aa the bout progressed dur ing the last three rounds. Gorman went in with a do-or-die spirit in the sixth and put up a slam-bang finish. He was on top of Wing every second and fairly smothered him with a fusi lade of" wallops. Wing shot a hard right-cross to Gorman's Jaw as the gong sounded at the close of the sixth round. Gordon Defeats Ryan. Abe Gordon won a hard-fought four round decision from Billy Ryan in the scrappiest bout of the night. The lit tle fellows gave the fans a run for their money from start to finish. Ryan started out like a world beater, but soon tired. In the first round Ryan sent Gordon to the mat with a right cross to the Jaw. Gordon claimed a foul saying he was hit low In addition to receiving a crack on the Jaw, but the referee refused to allow it- and Abe came back fighting madly. In the second Abe drove hia fist to Ryan's Jaw a few seconds before the close of the round and Ryan went sprawling to the mat. The gong saved him from a knockout. Both Ryan nnd Gordon mixed fu riously in the third, until Ryan ran into a left hook which took the steam out of him. Abe forged ahead from that time and won the verdict. Joe Hoff hit soldier Roselll with everything but the ring posts and was winning handily until he fouled the Vancouver man in the third round and lost the decision. Henry Davis won a four-round de cision from Joe Hogan in the curtain raiser. Joe Sax refereed the preliminaries. can-boast of their liberality towards th various war fund drives as has the Portland flght club audiences. Six hun dred and fifty-one big "smacks" and 18 cents for war tax is a record of which any gathering should feel proud. Isn't It the Truth. Dr. Youngson. who made the appeal for the Salvation Army war fund from the ring, said he felt right at home, be cause he saw eo many faces familiar to him. Every denomination has repre sentatives at boxing bouts. e a e Had Their 10-Spot Ready. The Portland flght promoters can be fooled. The boys stepped up lively and announcements were made that "Jedge" Flanagan, George Moore, Bobby Evans and Eddie U Connell each do nated" to the cause. e e e You Know Me, A I. "You know me, Al," came cries from the crowd, urging Sommers in his bout with Farrell. "Tell him to hold h head still eo you can hit him, came forth from others. SHEVLIN'S MATE DEAD JIMMY QVILL. YALE FILLBACK PASSES AWAY IX MICHIGAN'. Man. W ho) With Tom, Tackled Burr, of , Harvard, la Famous 6-0 Game, Al ways Denied Planned Assault. Jimmy Quill, fullback of the Yale football team which defeated the Har vard eleven in the Stadium in 1905 by Sto 0, died recently at Battle Creek, Mich. Quill was a great player, but h gained his greatest fame, not so much on account ot his prowess in general as from a particular incident in that battle with Harvard. Quill will be re membered as the co-worker with Tom Shevlin In the assault on Francis Burr, of Harvard, early In that contest. Now all three Quill, Shevlin, Burr have gone into the great beyond. It always has been a disputed point whether Quill and Shevlin committed the assault on Burr intentionally or whether It was a coincidence that the two Yale men should have Jumped on the Harvard star as if with intent to murder. Burr was the bright particu lar luminary of the Crimson eleven and certainly it was desirable from a Yale viewpoint that he be eliminated - as early as possible. It wasn't long after the opening play that Roome, of Yale, lifted a punt straight into the air. Burr stood braced for the catch and Just as the ball nestled In his arms Quill and Shevlin Jumped on him with terrific force. Twas said one held and the other mauled, and the result was that Burr was carried off unconscious, with broken nose and minor contusions. Paul Dashiel, the umpire, imposed no pen alty. Burr was as game as they came and he .would not stay out. After a while he was patched up and he re sumed his place in the lineup. That was "some" battle, even for those days. Hutchinson, who had displaced Tad Jones, got into a feud with Leary, of Harvard. Leary gave "Hutch" an awful deal while "Hutch" was busy catching a punt. A little later Leary again came into contact with "Hutch," and Leary naa to take time out to adjust a ban dage on his head. A pleasant time was had by everybody. Quill always denied that his assault on Burr was premeditated or that the ferocity thereof had been intentional. Quill got his football training at Am herst, where he was captain in 1901. IT TAYLOR AJVD WILSON V X DEFEATED WRESTLERS OF YEAR. I. of W. and Aggie Grapplera Downed by Varsity Men W ho. W ith Flegel, Win Coveted Oregon "O. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene. March -14. (Special.) Two Oregon men came through the wrestling season, that closed with the annual meet with Oregon Agricultural College, last Sat urday evening, intercollegiate cham pions of the Northwest. They are. Cap tain George Taylor, who led the Lemon Yellow team through the last half of he season and Captain-elect "Chief Wilson, chosen to pilot the mat squad through their 1919 matches. Both of the' men went through the season without meeting their match. Taylor, at 165 pounds, was the sensa tion of Coach Shockley'a artists. His victories in the meets with the Uni- ersity of Washington and the Aggies were clean-cut and decisive. w iison established his claim to the 135-pound title by defeating Buttervich, of Oregon Agricultural College, and Sellick, of Washington. Besides Taylor and v iison, Bruce Flegel, who went into the Aggie meet with only ten days of preliminary work as a substitute for Simola, the regular varsity 113-pounder, was the only man to win the coveted wrestling "O" this year. The wrestling letter Is the most difficult to win of any of the major sport awards, as a man not only has to make the team, but must also win his match in an inter-collegiate meet before he is entitled to, the letter. Only four wresteing letters have been won in the past five years. Captain Ruther ford, of last year's team, holding the other one.

CAMP LEWIS, Wash., March 14 One-half hour's workout at shadow boxing was decreed for members of the 91st Division in an order issued to day at division headquarters. The or der specifies that one-half of the hour's physical exercise prescribed for men at camp must be given over to shadow boxing. The other half-hour may be de voted to drill, walking, liallplaying or some other exercise, but there must be 30 minutes of shadow boxing. Shadow boxing has become quit general throughout camp in the work of Willie Ritchie, boxing instructor, and his 472 assistants. Ritchie con tends that shadow boxing is the best way to develop a scientific boxer. It teaches him quickness of movement, and the alertness which makes him ready when the opponent leaves an opening for landing a blow. Ritchie's theory in conducting classes in every company in camp is that "you can't make a boxer out of a fighter, but you can make a fighter out of a boxer." Shadow boxing helps a man to fight with his head Just as much as with his hands. Ritarhie contends, and the half hour of shadow boxing ordered for the men is expected to help considerably in the boxing lessons and make the teach ing of the art of self-defense general throughout camp.

Announcement That Player Demands S5OO0 Salary Not Believed. JOE VILA, the New York baseball expert, is out with a story that Charlie HoIIocher, last year's sensa tional Portland shortstop, -demands tatlOO per season from the Chicago Cubs. The story sounds like camou flage as does Vila s statement that the Croaaed l'p. District Forecaster Wells predicted rain and snow for Portland yesterday Outside of that he Is all right. e a a Uatry.

Chicago Cubs paid $10,000 to the Port land team forHol locher's release. To those who know HoIIocher and have been closely Identified with the youngster while he was with Portland, thee story soundi absurd. HoIIocher. I J while the star of the Portland team Charlie Holloehei'. last season, was one of the lowest paid pjayers on the team, fie came here an inexperienced player and soon de veloped into one of the best shortstops the league ever produced. The major league clubs have a great habit of sending out contracts to drafted ballplayers or those purchased by release, and granting only a slight increase over their minor league sal ary. When Bobby Groom was drafted into the majors he was sent a con tract calling for less salary than he received with the Portland team. It is not known what salary the Cubs offered HoIIocher. but it is a safe bet that Charlie Is not asking $5000 or anywhere near that figure. NEW YORK. March 14. Remarkable changes are taking place in the classic srort events of the Nation af a result of wartime conditions, and many close followers of athletics do not hesitate to express the opinion that m some cases famous competitions, particularly in intercollegiate ranks, have passed for all time. Whether this is correct or not only the future can decide, but the fact remains that, temporarily at least, certain standard sport fixtures have been abandoned in favor of substitute contests which differ greatly from the original events. Both the Poughkeepsie and New Lon don four-mile boat races have been dropped, and in place of these there will be the National patriotic regatta at Annapolis, May 18, as well as a num ber of dial and triangular regattas. These will give every college of the East which supports rowing oppor tunities for the. eights to compete in from one to three two-mile races dur ing the Spring of 1918. Novelties also -appear upon the col lege track schedules, as several of the important dual track and field meets of the past seasons have been dropped and other competitions substituted. For the first time in more thaon 20 years, if 1917 be excluded, there will be missing the annual dual track games between Yale and Harvard and probably Prince ton and Yale. In place of these college athletic classics there will be a trian gular set of games between Harvard, Yale and Princeton at New Haven on May 18, which may prove to be the in itial event in an annual series. Well-Known Defense !Ian for Rosebuds Leaves stateroom on Boat at Night and Drops From Sight. SEATTLE, Wash., March 14. (Spe cial.) "Moose" Johnson, veteran de fense man of the Portland team, is missing. '"Moose" watched the game at Van couver Monday, then visited New West minster and boarded the Tuesday night boat from Vancouver. Coming down the boys had a poker session in one of the staterooms that lasted until Moose announced he was going to bed. Going out of the room, he playfully locked them all in the stateroom and left. He has not been seen since. The boat was searched when Seattle was reached, the hotels here have been combed thoroughly and the crowd last night was watched carefully, for he in tended to witness last night's game. As yet no trace of him has been found and fears for his safety are entertained.' PORTLAND BOYS ARK ELECTED Engcrtslierger and Classic Made Of ficers In College Student Body. MOUNT AXGEL COLLEGE.
