The it L. Kline bowline team re turned from California Sunday morn ing- after a two weeks' tour of that state, in which they met the best bowi ng afrftregations in the Golden State. and represented Portland at the Pacific Coast international bowling- champion- snips at uos Angeles. The M-1 Kline team finished seventh In the championship tournament. In, ine aouoies ttianey and Kowe took Both Xorthern Champion and Jimmy Darcy Ready for Gong and Be lleTe in Ability to Down Oppo nent In 6 Rounds of Battle. "Some battler!" "Just the boy for Marty Farrell!" "Jimmy Darcy snre has a fight on his hands!" "Look at that boy hit!" were some of the ex clamations voiced by the crowd of fistic followers who jammed their way into the Rose City Ahtletlc Club gymnasium yesterday afternoon when they were tipped off that Frank Barrleau. mid dlewelght champion of Canada, had de cided to put on the gloves for a few rounds and step around the padded bag, and any one of the phrases Is not fa off from being the truth. The Cana dian champ was Just going to do little road work yesterday and shadow boxing, but after he had warmed up he kept right on going, and, altogether, put in about 12 rounds of gymnasium work and boxing before he got up good sweat, topping .it off with a shower. Jack Allen, the Fighting Alblna Irishman and about the toughest bird in this section, who will meet Mike Pete, the crack Seattle 140-pounder In Aberdeen over the 10-round route next Monday, put the mitts on with Barrleau. and for two rounds the fur flew thick and fast. Barrieau hooked. Jabbed, slammed and - uppercutted the battling Portlander. and Jack never weakened for a minute, but kept com ing right in for more. When Barrieau got tired of mixing be let Allen paste him on the chin, and Jack man i weaken at that, either. In the brief rounds Frank showed the light fans who were on hand that he can hit. box and fight, which that can be expected in any rieai Is in the best of condition and Is ready to go at his best.

Nearly 1000 men crowded Into the messroom to witness the box ing and wrestling bouts. There were six boxing and four wrestling matches on the card, along with a lot of extra entertainment in the line of music and dancing. In the two main boxing bouts Alex Trambltas met Muff Bronson. and Joe Gorman met Ted Hoke. All of the four well-known Portland boxers are work ing for the Foundation Company. Both of the bouta were hurricane affairs, and had the crowd off Ita feet from start to finish. The bouts were billed as three-round exhibitions, but there was no love lost between the boys, and there was not a slow moment In any one of the matches. The Foundation Company will stage another one of their amokers for em ployes only within the next few weeks, and are hunting for a large building to hold It in so aa to accommodate all. SAX FRANrisro. March 25. With the opening of the 1!1 season of the Pacific Coast League on April 2. five of the six cities which go to make up I th. circuit will be in California. The I one exception Is the Salt Lake City club. With the passing of the Portland. nr.. franchise to Sacramento the only other Coast State In the organlxauon was eliminated. It was for th a reason thst the North western League In changing Ita name lo the Pacific Coaat International laitue advanced the argument that It was more Justly entitled to the appela tlon "Pacltic Coast" In view of th. fact that th. states of WashtnKtun. ureirnn and th pro Inc. of British Columbia ar. represented. The Pacific Coast League advanced objections to the us. of Ita ram. to which the Northwestern, era replied by suggestlna that the nam. "California Leaaru." would be mnre appropriate to th. objectors. With only tnre. states. Washington, rtrecon and California making up the Pacific fnat line, a tremendous distant-, separates th. polnta. It was prac tically lor thia r.aeon that Portland withdrew. The long hauls were found to delv. deep Into th. cluh treasuries when it ram. to the cost of transports tlon for th. t.ama.

V.nagsVer Haa Ability. Aeeartlaf to Fans W k. knave Hiss. THE first Portland player to arrive at the Pendleton training camp Is Corbett H.

In a letter received at baseball head quarters yesterday tiriggs mentioned that he waa oa the Job and waiting for the arrival of Manager Bill Flaher And the rest of the squad. irlKKS is said to possess a a-reat throwing arm and has a fairly good knowlrdxe of baseball stored away in his cranium. He la a youngster of promise, according to those who have watched him perform on the diamond. tiriaga addressed McCredle aa "Dear Judg-ee." Just why he saw fit to tickle the local magnate's noa de plume is not known. "1 bad a workout today at Kound-up Park." wrote Griggs. The weather was excellent and the boys were all out throwing the leather pill, and I feel confident after the way I heaved that ball today that I am going to make one of the regular Joba. Hurry up and get up here. Jurtg-ee. because the weather Is fin. and the natives are anxloua to look the boys over, fio long. Judg-ee." hailed as a world champion in Seattle and has been the only boxer so far to stop Wild Willie Webb, the battling Oakland boy, who held Willie Meehan to a draw recently. Barrieau lost to Leach Cross in their first battle in Los Angeles and knocked Leach out In 12 rounds at Vancouver, R r. In their second engagement. Bar rieau made 133 pounds for Cross in the Los Angeles battle, and was so weak he could hardly stand up. In their return bout Frank entered the ring at 112 pounds and stopped the New Yorker. Barrieau knocked out Bud An derson in three rounds. FiKhtlng" Jimmy Darcy. known to the Portland fans as Valley Trambitas, will not be any soft pickings lor Bar ri.au. Darcy has fought Barrieu to a standstill on three occasions and thinks that he will knock Frank out In six rounds and is sure that he will win the decision. Jimmy Darcy is not the same boy the fans saw box here some months ago. Uarer Isaamved Boxer. He haa improved fully 50 per cent and boxes an altogether different style than he formerly did. bince nis last appearance here. Valley has defeated a number of good boys and has gained a world of confidence in his ability. II. Is in good shape and has been boxing like a champion in his training session. Darcy will have several pounos weight advantage over Barrieau and will make the best oi it.

He will meet George Ingle for the lightweight champion ship of the Pacific Coast in Seattle to night and leaves right after the bout for P-rtland. The rest of the bouts on the all-star card are: Pete Mitchie vs. Stanley Willis. 135 pounds: Joe Swain vs. Pat Bradley. 150 pounds, and Ted Hoke vs. Joe Hoff, 130 pounds. One more bout may be added to the card today. Man ager Merrill is having a lot of diffi culty finding two boys to go on In the curtain-raiser, as all of the openers are members of the Hebrew race and do not want to box on a Jewish holi day. THIEVES STEAL BEES' OUTFITS Salt Lake Players Ixse Paraphernalia From Lockers. Thieves broke into the lockers of the Salt Lake players at Porterville and made ' away with gloves, mitts, bats, shoes and other paraphernalia amount ing to about $150. The players spent most the following day looking for thetr equipment but to date nothing haa been ascertained of the missing goods. The thief or thieves paid particular attention to Walter McCredies locker and went so far as to take McCredie's solid gold tooth brush and diamond studded hair brush and comb. They forgot to take his platinum cigarette case and left his finger nail file intact. Outside of that they didn't bother W alter very much. FARREIJj MAY MEET ORTEGA Simpson, Oakland Fighter's Manager, Offered Bout for Protege. Tommy Simpson, Oakland boxing manager and promoter, who is here handling Frank Barrieau for his bout with Jimmy Darcy at the Eleventh street Playhouse Wednesday night, has ben offered a match here for his other middleweight protege, "Battling" Ortega. The promoter that mad Sifop- of 277a. The bowling alleys in which the tournament was being staged burned the night after the five-man event had been rolled, and the M. L. Kline team did not get a chance to roll the double and single matches. The team will rest up for several weeks and then depart for the annual North west championships in Spokane next month BRANDON TO BOX DOLAN PORTLAND FIGHTER LEAVES FOR SEATTLE FOR BOIT. Bantamweight In Good Condition and Believes He Can Take Flyweight Title From Callfornlan. George Brandon, the scrappy little Portland bantamweight, left for Seat tle last night, where he is scheduled to meet Frankie Dolan. flyweight champion of the Pacific Coast, tonight. Brandon has been training all week at the Rose City Club and Is in good shape for his battle with the conqueror of Abe Gordon. Dolan, or Murphy, the name he Is now boxing under, is one of the best boys at his weight In the country, and up until he hit an opponent on the chin in Los Angeles, which resulted In the fighter's death, Frankie was regarded as a coming champion In the flyweight class. He fought his first ring bout after a rest of over a year in Seattle the other night, defeating Abe Gor don for the Coast flyweight title. Mur phy is a fast, clever boy and Brandon will have to travel at top speed to get any place wtth the Callfornlan. Brandon expects to beat Murphy by his aggressiveness and punch, both of which he is endowed with in, abundance. It he makes good against Murphy, Brandon wants another crack at Danny Edwards, the Oakland colored flash, who won a decision over him some time ago here. Brandon was sick at the time he fought Edwards and had ust left the hospital after an opera tion. He is feeling fine at present and working at the Columbia shipyards and training at night. George has been boxing with Stanley Willis and Joei Gorman the last week. Brandon is also willing to make weight for Abe Gordon if the latter thinks that he can beat him. Infielder, Who Reported to Walter McCredle for TTjrout, Declared to Have Bright Future by Portland Player-Manager. It did not take Manager Bill Fisher. of the Portland team, long to decide that Infielder Sands was a "find" after Fisher had lamped the youngster at Porterville, according to a letter Jude-e McCredle received yesterday. The Portland pilot was favorably im pressed with Sands' work and predicts a bright future "for the lad who has been cavdrting at shortstop for the Salt Lake Yannigans during the sojourn of the Bees at Porterville. Fisher was much enthused over the showing of players Cox. Smith and Morton, who are scheduled for release to the Portland team. It looks as if Walter McCredie intended carrying a number of bis excess players until the Pacific Coast League season opens and then release them to Portland, accord ing to Fisher's letter. The Portland leader is anxious to get started and hopes for good weather at Pendleton, where the Portland team will pitch training camp. Fisher ex pects to start north lor Portland in a few days. It was thought at first he would be here in time to accompany Judge McCredie to the league meeting at Seattle. ... Sammy Ferguson, the young out fielder Portland has signed up, evident ly intends to bat his way to a job with Judge McCredie's club. The Portland impresario was comfortably seated at baseball headquarters yesterday when a porter almost knocked the office door off its hinges with a truckload of bats consigned to Ferguson from Louisville bat factory. "Mister Ferguson here?" asked the porter. 'Nope, he s scraping barnacles off ship bottoms at Seattle, but we expect him next week," smiled Judge Mc Credle. "What'll I do with these bats?" "Keep 'em in cold storage until he gets here," replied McCredie. Ferguson must expect to murder the ball when he reports at Pendleton, and wants enough of the ash wallopers to carry him through the four weeks' siege at the Round-up city. He'll find the fences at Round-up Park are no cinch to kiss with the horsehide pellet, but will have no trouble getting his assortment of bats used up. The older players will "break" them in for him.

Unless Judge McCredle hears some thing definite from the National com mission regarding the status of Cliff Lee, outfielder whose services are be ing! contested by Portland, Marshall town and Cleveland, by the time he gets back from Seattle, he said yester day that he would wire Lee to report at Pendleton, now that Lee has ac cepted McCredie's salary offer. The 'big three Herrmann, Tener and Johnson have been mighty slow in rendering their decision in the Lee matter. The case has ben under con sideration for many weeks, and there is no logical reason why a decision has not been given by this time. BOKTON MAY BE RELEASED Sacramento Player May Catch for Oakland or Build Ships. Babe Borton, former Portland first baseman, may be a member of the Oak land team this season; then again Babe Borton may be a shipbuilder. Least of all is the possibility that Babe Borton will stick with Bill Rodgers on the Sacramento team. With Art Griggs sapping the ball on the noe and play ing a great first base there seems little chance of Borton's getting the job, according to word from Sacra mento. Borton has been around San Fran cisco on a visit during the last few days and, although he is not reported as telling any of his secrets, it is said that he has been made a good offer to go to work in one of the Bay City ship yards and play in the Shipbuilder's League. But if Sacramento plans on turning Borton adrift there is a chance of his catching on with Oakland should Rod Allen not perform up to Del Howard's expectations. Cleveland, still After Sheely. The Cleveland club still is trying to secure First Baseman Shee.ly from the Salt Lake Pacific Coast League club. Sheely is said to be a powerful hitter and a fine normal player, but so far the Salt Lake club has been unwilling to part with him. Manager Fohl, how ever, has just released Ivan Howard to the Salt Lake club, and. as Howard can play the initial bag, Cleveland fans believe that Sheely will open the sea son with the Indians. Fohl, by the way, has a formidable pitching staff at the training camp. It includes Bagby, Stanley Coveleskie, Coumbe, Morton, Lambeth. Wilkinson, Enzmann and the veteran Robert Groom. White Sox to Keep RIsberg. Manager Rowland, of the world's champion White Sox, intends to keep Swede Risberg all season. Risberg Is shortstoD. but he wss benched last Fall in favor of McMullin because of the latter's batting skill. But Risberg, it seems, can play first base and will be ready to jump into Chick Gandill's shoes in case the latter s knees go back on him. Risberg, therefore, is extremely valuable as a utility in fielder, and Rowland says he is lucky to have such a fine all-around player on the club's payroll. FIN All HOCKEY GAME TONIGHT Vancouver and Toronto Even In Score With 9 Points Apiece. With scoring honors even in the two world's series championship ice hockey games for the Stanley cup, the Van couver and Toronto teams will play the third and probably last game of the series tonight at Toronto. Toronto won the first game, 5 to 3, each team playing with six men ac cording to the National Hockey League rules. Saturday night Vancouver, play ing under the Pacific Coast Hockey Association rules, which call for seven men on each team, won from Toronto, C to 4. The world's championship goes to the team scoring the most number of goals in the three games played. Tonight s battle at Toronto is to oe played under National Hockey League rules and will De a ngni to me iin Ish. Vancouver has a fast aggrega- Trouble Predicted for Amer ican Association. Wise Ones Believe Organisation W Hot Finish Season. THE Jimerican Association is sched uled to play 140 instead of 163 games this year, and will begin opera tions on May 1. Already the wise men are, predicting trouble for this organ ization. They say that players' salaries and overhead charges will swallow the receipts of all the clubs and that the association will surprise the baseball world if it is still alive on July 4. If this Class AA circuit throws up the sponge in midsummer another attempt may be inaugurated to weld together eight cities, equally divided between the association and the International League. Tihs would be carrying out the Union League plan, which was thrown in the discard last November because bitterness in baseball politics proved too great an obstacle in the path of the schemers.
