(iOLF TOVR.VAMKXT TO BE HELD Portland Club Members to Compete This Afternoon and Tomorrow. Canadian' Poor Showing; Causes Boxing; Commission to Place Hint With Second-Raters Cptll Abil ity Demonstrates Otherwise. Tommy Simpson, the Oakland man ager and promoter, must have thought that he had struck a "hick" town when he decided to come to Portland again, but Tommy has cone back to Oakland a wiser man. In the first place. It develops that Tommy'a real reason for coming to Portland with Frank Barrleau was to sign up a number of Portland's best boxers to box at his arena in Emery ville. If Tommy really expected t grab off the best of the local talent he was sadly disappointed, as the Port land boxers were very much averse to deserting; the Rose City and their well paying jobs at the shipyards and tak ing a chance with Simpson in Oakland. Also It has leaked out that Tommy tried to rata th "medal" on the pro moter of the Barrieau-Darcy bout, but be was disappointed again, and all he got was the "raspberry." It is said that Barrleau had several of his ribs broken In his bout with Harry, which, if- true, would make some excuse for his "terrible" showing th other night. e e e TValter B. Honey man. secretary and treasurer of the Portland Boxlrs Com mission, said vesterday that the com mission had placed Frank Barrleau in the list of class B. boxers, and that the Canadian would not be allowed to box any more main events here until he goes in and makes good with the sec ond-rsters. a a a "Fighting" Jimmy thirey (Valley Trambitae) will lesve for Seattle to morrow afternoon, where he is billed to meet Mick King in a four-round battle Tuesday night. Darcy Is in good con dition and experts to make the clever Australian extend himself to win. Mick King gets on the verge of a nervous breakdown every time the name of Marty Farrell is mentioned to blm. see The Seattle fans and papers are get ting very boisterous about Seattle's wonderful boxing champions, and are claiming three of the Pacific Coast titles for the Puget Sound City. They are George Ingle, lightweight cham pion of the Pacific Coast: Mick King, light-heavyweight champion of the Coast, and Frankie Murphy, flyweight champion of the Pacific Coast. Ingle was the luckiest boy in the world to win the lightweight title from "Muff" Bronson in Seattle severs weeka sgo and be will have to do some tall battling to retain the title when he clashes with Bronson here on April 10, at tho Company B. Multnomah Guard, show at the Eleventh-Street Playhouse. Mick King has pat up some good bat ties, but haa had some narrow escapes. In his bout with Al Sommers the ref eree robbed Sommers and gave the de cision to King, amid a howl of disap proval. Some of the fans even want so far as to state that Sommers should have had the decision. King has beaten Steve Reynolds. Chet Mclntyre and Frank Farmer, but the above members of the famous Seattle-Tacoma circuit of boxers have been beaten before. After King meets Marty Farrell, then will be time for him to claim the title and make speeches. Where Frankie Murphy comes in for the flyweight championship is mystery to the Portland fans and everyone else that Is posted at all in the boxing game. Murphy claims the flyweight championship by virtue of his victory over Abe Gordon. Gordon has never been taken seriously as the hamplon outside of Portland and per haps heattle. after he was matched Besides even if Abe is ful "comeback" In the Amertfcan League this seaeon. Gregg is nor a member of the Athletics, having been shipped to Connie Mack along with several other -ballplayers from Boston in part payment for Stuffy Mclnnis. Hart at the recent baseball conclaves New York, said that Greger In his bumble opinion had more speed than any other pitcher in the International League last season and that he would be greatly disappointed if the former Portland southpaw doesn't win a num ber of his ball games thin year. Gregg pitched great ball in the Inter-.; national aeaarue lasi year ana was one of the leading boxmen in the organiza lion In the number of games won and in strikeouts.

The former Los Angeles boxer stands a head taller than Abe and looks fully seven or eight pounds nesvier. George Brandon, the little Portland battler, went to Seattle last week and made 115 pounds for Murphy, and gave him th battle of his life. Had he not worried about making the weight he would nave won from Murphy. As It was he had a shade in tho first and second rounds with the third even. Brandon only had to make 118 pounds for Murphy, but he overtrained and came in at 113. All that George wants Is another crack at Frankie and he will quit boxing if Seattle isn't a "cham pion" less.

(Special.) To save the expense transporting their shells, the Tale and Harvard rowing officials have made a unique agreement as a part of their rowing schedule for this season. They have agreed that the visiting crew shall In every case use one of the shells of the home crew. As Yale uses the English thole-pin rigging for its oars and Harvard the swivel lock outrigger, this will neces sitate the re-rigging of a shell in each navy for the race. To accommodate the Tale eight which rows at Harvard, one of the Harvard sells will have Its rigging transferred from the swivel lock to the thole pin and the reverse will be done for the Harvard crew, which rows Tale on the Housatonic River.
