There Is a good deal of rivalry be
tween Portland and Seattle referees.
and In order to even up the Portland
Seattle score Pat. Scott gave a close
one to George Ingle In his bout with
Mull Bronson in Seattle Tuesday night.
Of course, all of the members of the
Seattle Athletic Club and some others
were well pleased with the decision, but
there were a lot of those present who
thought that the Portland lad was en
titled to a draw, as he clearly out
boxed Ingle and did nearly all of the
leading.
If Bronson had been content to wait
for Ingle to lead and start things, he
would have been waiting yet. Ingle
fought exactly the same way against
Bronson the other night that he fought
in his bout with Alex Trambitas here
some time ago.
Ingle landed several sound wallops
on Bronson, and it was on these that
Scott gave him his decision. Ingle
butted Bronson over the eye in the
fourth round and opened up a deep cut
which caused the blood- to stream dow
over Muff's face. Bronson stood toe to
toe with Ingle whenever the latter
showed any inclination to stand up an
battle, and had a little the better of It
in many of the sullies. Bronson ar
rived here yesterday, and will be back
on the Job at the Foundation shipyards
bright and early today.
Laagford Fights Well.
The wires must have gotten twisted
some way in the returns of the Chet
Neff-Toung Sam Langford tight, for if
ever a boy put up a battle and de
served a draw for his efforts it was
Langford. The colored 130-pounde
stepped in and rapped Xeff from the
start, and kept shoving his mitts so
thick and fast at Chet throughout the
four rounds that the Seattle boy thought
he was boxing a mowing machine in
stead of a man. Langford boxed 60 per
cent better than he has ever done ii
Portland, and he looked like a real bat
tier last night. The crowd booed the de
cision, and a draw would have satis
fied the fans much better. Isefr fought
hard the last two rounds and used
rough tactics to gain the advantage.
He held Langford with one hand and
punched him with the other, refusing
to let go. Neff is sure a tough, strong
boy and had Sam fought like he did
n his last battle here he would have
gotten a fine lacing. NetT looked
slightly overtrained for the match. He
will rest up for several days and then
limber up again and get in real form
for his match with Alex Trambitas
here next Wednesday night, which will
be the semi-windup of the Hone City
Athletic Club card at the Lleventh
Street Playhouse-
Fred Gilbert, the Portland welter
weight, upheld the honor of the Bose
City Tuesday night in Seattle, knock
lng out "Wildcat" Leonard in three
rounds or rather scoring a technical
knockout, as the referee stopped the
bout to save Leonard. This Leonard
sure is a "wildcat." but Fred made
him climb a tree. Leonard came tear
ing out in the first round extending
first bis right foot and then his left,
and did about every shift in the books.
Gilbert could hardly keep from laugh
ing.
"Wildcat" I Vanquished.
He ermcked the Seattle boy square
on the chin in the first round, which
made him turn a complete somersault.
n the second round Gilbert gave him
a terrific beating and took some hefty
punches himself. Gilbert came out in
the third round, and, after flashing
one of his sarcastic smiles upon the
glowing features of the shifty, swing
ing "wildcat." let drive a volley of
straight smashes that would have up
set the Yeon building, and caved the
unconquerable" wild one in. The
referee then took a hand in the pro
ceedings and called a halt.
Abe Gordon, overtopped, outreached
and slightly outweighed, put up a fast,
game fight against Frankle Murphy
Dolan. but lost the decision, which was
Just one. Murphy otitboxed Abe and
ept the latter from landing any ef
fective punches, by his long reach.
ordon made a host of friends In Seat
tle by his game battle, and the little
Hebrew was trying to land a sleep
pnoducer throughout the four rounds
of milling. George Brandon, the Port
land bantamweight, telegraphed a
challenge to the winner of the bout,
which was read at the ringside.
A number of Portland fistic follow
ers were on hand to witness Austin
& Salt's card at the Crystal Tool on
Tuesday night, and were treated to
one of the best cards that they have
ever had a chanca to witness. There
were two othen four-round bouts on
the card besides those mentioned.
Fcjnk Dubbs, of Shamokin, Pa., who
accompanied the Giants to the training
camp at Alarlin, was at one time
pitcher in the old Pennsylvania League
and later was an umpire in the Atlan

It may be a case of "Ma gee singled

Sherwood Magee on his team.
If Bodle, Marsons and Gilhooley win

Ike Woffer. the Portland youth who
Journeyed to Sacramento for a trial
with the Sacramento team, returned
home Sunday from the Senators' train
ing camp, on account of illness In his
family. Wolfer will not return to Sac
ramento, but instead has asked Judge
McCredie to try and arrange it so he
may play'outfleld for the Portland team
in , the Pacific Coast International
Leasee. Wolfer played with Vancou
ver last eeason.
Judge McCredie will most likely sign
olfer for the Portland club and wage
a fight against the "gentlemen's agree
ment" made last season by the club
owners of President Blewetfs circuit
when that organization hit the rocks.
The magnates agreed that they would
not sign any player belonging to any
other club in the league.
The fact that Wolfer later signed a
Sacramento contract ought automatic
ally end his connection with the Pa
cific Coast International League, and if
he comes back into Blewetts circuit he
should do eo free to sign with what
ever club he eo desires.
When Judge McCredie attends the
league meeiing next Wednesday at Se
attle he will no doubt have trouble on
his hands, because Boo Brown, manager
oi Vancouver, will try to dynamite
Judge McCredies' argument. .

ARE YOU CHOKED UP WITH CATARRH?
Fnrlongh Spoiled by Mumps.
HOOD RIVER, Or.. March 20. (Spe
cial.) Dr. V. R. Abraham, captain in
the Medical Reserve Corps, home on a
furlough from Fort Riley, Kaa., on his
return was accompanied as far as Hot
Lake by Mrs. Abraham, who has been
suffering from an attack of rheuma
tism. While here Dr. Abraham was

If you are In the grasp of Catarrh,
your experience should convince you
that the disease is beyond the reach of
sprays, douches, jellies, balms, sajves
and other locally applied remedies.
- When the air passages become so
stopped up that every breath you take
is difficult, when the throat and nose
are so clogged up with offensive mucus
that you are constantly hawking and
spitting in an effort to clear your nos
trils, every effort you make to get re
lief by the use of sprays and douches is
promptly followed by new accumula
tions, so that no headway whatever is
made toward getting rid of the disease.
If you want to get rid of Catarrh,
throw your sprays, atomizers and other
local treatment to the winds and pay
heed to the voice of science.
Realize that Catarrh comes from a,
germ which Infests the blood and that
the disease cannot exist when these
germs are routed from the blood. The
rational and successful treatment,
therefore, is one that reaches the blood
and cleanses it of every trace of im
purity and rids it of these tiny catarrh
germs. Of course no local remedies can
reach the blood supply, and that is why
Catarrh is not cured by sprays and lo
tions. The one great blood remedy that has
made a wonderful record is S. S. S.,
which has been on sale by drug stores
everywhere for nearly half a century.
If you would be rid of your Catarrh,
get a bottle of this great old remedy
today, which will give you satisfactory
results, as it has in so many cases. You
will find that you are on the right
treatment at last, as S. S. S. will do for
you what it has for thousands of others.
Start taking S. S. S. today and write
a complete description of your case to
our head physician, who will give you
all necessary Instructions by return
mail, without charge. Address Medical
