Where'd they learn to act?" Yet that is what you hear at pearly every boxing show. What would be termed disorderly conduct at any other amusement place apparently is considered good form at a boxing entertainment. It is the inherent privilege of every fan to applaud his favorite and many seem to think the price of their admission includes the right to jeer the paid performer when he i's -not giving them their money's worth. But the boxing patron who thinks that his admission ticket entitles Mack thinks Vernon.

Usually, you will find three "If the Judge is able to pacify our prima donnas and the boys show up at spring camp in time to get in shape we will have a good club." said the Portland manager yesterday. "Contra ry to opinions I have heard expressed by many, the Portland pitching staff is as formidable as almost any staff in the league. "We lost Oldham, who was a star, but I figure Cunningham of Detroit to replace him. Jones is a good pitch er; so is Poison, secured from Detroit, and the same is true of Kallio and Sutherland. Kallio has been with De troit for two or three years, but he grew up in Portland as a semi-pro. and some folk can't get it out of their minds that he is no longer a semi pro pitcher. He has had experience and should be a winning pitcher if he isn't worked too often. "Baker behind the bat is as strong as any backstop in the league. "Blue is a first-class inltial-sacker. Ellison of Detroit hit around the .300 mark in the American association be fore he went to Detroit and ought to be one of the most valuable players in the league. This deal is not yet completed, but I expect to get him or a man just as good. Wisterzll at third will fill the bill. Kingdon is a great fielding shortstop. He may hit and he may not. If our pitchers hold up we may not need a heavy hitting shortstop." Manager McCredle is figuring on Maisel. Walker and Schaller in the gardens. "It is nearly Impossible to secure players from the majors now unless you have somebody to trade them. Vernon won the pennant last year because the Tigers had a man that New York wanted. It Is particularly difficult to get good men at this stage of the year, but if I need reinforce ments after the major training season has gotten under swing things will not be so tight. As soon as the ma jors have had an opportunity to size up their men they will be willing to talk business. "We don't want a losing ball club here, because it means money to have a wlner. and I Intend to have a club that will be in the running all the time. My club as it finished last fall was a first-class outfit. What put us in bad last year was the disastrous start We won only two games on the first trip." Barring an lnfielder and an out fielder, the San Francisco club is ready for spring training. The Seal lineup reads like this: Catchers Sam Agnew, Earl Bald' win. Pitchers Jim Scott, Tom Seaton Johnny Couch, Casey Smith, Bob Steele, Jim Jordan, Lefty Cole, Her bert McQuaide. Sam Lewis. First base Phil Koerner, Earl Perry. Second base Jimmy Caveney. Shortstop Roy Corhan. Third base Willie Kamm (if he signs). Outfield Justin Fitzgerald. Mauri Schick. Herbie Hunter. Jim O'Con- neli. Parke Wilson and one to come. General utility Carl Zamloch. Sam Agnew is an old veteran catch er who has been up In the big league for years. Jordan was bought from Washington, and Bob Steele, left hander, from Indianapolis. Manager Graham is out after another pitcher. SeatAe's troubles with its crop of Rufus Wallingford ballplayers is al most at an end. All the Seattle "hold out" players are signed with one ex ception Harry Wolter. Seattle claims to have an option on Schutz of St. Louis, and President Klepper declares he will not fool long with Wolter. Spencer is not signed, but Kleppef says he is not a holdout. The SiwasheB are scheduled to be gin spring training at Hanford, Cal. next Monday morning. Managers for all the clubs in the new Pacific International league have been selected and the roster reminds one of the old days when you could get a pair of shoes for $8.75 ami a sirloin steak for 40 cents. Read it and reminisce: Seattle Dave Hillyard. Vancouver' Bob Brown. Tacoma Bobby Vaughn. Yakima Tealey Raymond. Astoria Bill Leard. Spokane Cliff Blankenship. All the managers are hard at work signing talent, according to John S. Barnes, the genial secretary, who is one of the best little organizers in the business.

The English, perhaps, carry their ringside manners to the extreme, but, as between the parlor manners of the English boxing show and the barn yard etiquette of some of the box ing shows I have witnessed in this country during the past 10 years, the English nave it all over us. If boxing is to become popularized as a sport for the better people the promoters will have to see to it that the foul-mouthed ringside hecklers are given the gate. This practice would not be tolerated in any other place of amusement. There would be a rush of ushers and special police men and the obnoxious Individual would soon find himself in need of a croix de courtplaster. ... Mike Collins is threatening to give up the promotion of boxing matches in Minneapolis. He has to give out nearly 600 passes to every show, and at the present high cost of boxers he doesn't figure to break even more than half the time. There Is some advantage in having a law like the Oregon boxing law. Here the passes are limited to about 2 per cent of the house. The recent Welling vs. Mitchell en counter in Minneapolis yielded only $5500.

Of course, sport Is a kaleidoscopic succession of upsets and convulsions, but the prospects would seem to favor another new home-run record ere the ides of November. The spitball pitcher is the hard luck guy of sport. At first they made tne country ary, and he felt mighty blue. But now they've taken pitching up, and made it arid, too." Commercial, Fraternal and City Leagues Will Be Organized. Latter to Include Shipyards. . Independent baseball in and around Portland will see the biggest year in history, according to Jack Routledge, who will handle the independent booking department at A. G. Spalding Bros. Ever since baseball has been a "pup" Spaldings have annually con ducted a booking department to facil tate the bringing of the many teams together In a systematic manner. Those in charge of the booking de partment also help in the organiza tion of leagues and get teams under way. Last season a Commercial league was organized and went through a very successful season. The city of Portland Is large enough to support several Independent leagues and it is the desire of Routledge to get several leagues started. He has plans of organizing a fraternal league which will be composed of lodge teams exclusively. The organization of a commercial league with teams from the various commercial and business houses and a city league, which would consist of four or six of the best teams ob tainable, will also be undertaken. It is not likely there will be enough teams to have a Bhipyard circuit this coming season, so the shipyard play ers will be seen in the proposed city league. With old Sol staying out frequently for the duration of- the day it is get ting high time for the "amateurs and "bushers" to get under way. and an early meeting of managers will be called. A Willamette valley league or six teams is almost an assured circuit. Salem, McMinnville. Woodburn, Eu gene. Corvallis and one other city will support teams. Whether Port land will be represented has not been decided. The Salem team will be managed by "Biddy" Bishop, who has a number of well-known oan tossers iinea up. DOUGHBOY K.

M. C A. floor. The big score which the Railsplitters marked up against the double-J five was due mainly to the efforts of Can- tain Irve Cole and Bill Beck of the Lincoln team, who were running wild irom guard positions. Captain Cole, who held down a forward nosition in the first half, was switched to guard during the second period, where he was able to net six field baskets. Beck, who played guard in the first period, also marked up six field bas kets while playing on the defense. The Lincoln boys took the lead right after the first tipoff, when Pierce mad-e a nice shot From then on the Railsplitters steadily in creased their lead and the first half ended 24 to 10. In the second period the Lincoln boys marked up 16 points while they held the Saints to three field baskets. At times during the contest the double-J tossers displayed flashes of speed which made the going rough for the cardinal five, but these rallies were short lived. For the losers, Bauer, Hiatt and Girt played a good game, while Brame also showed up well during the sec ond half. Cole, Wright and Beck formed the scoring combination of the Lincoln team, while Mische played a steady defensive game. The lineup: Lincoln (40). James John (16).

The game was fast and closely contested throughout. The Winged M hoopers took the lead at the start of the game and were not headed once dur ing the rest of the contest. The score at the end of the first half stood 11 to 8 and the clubmen increased their lead in the first part of the second half when the score stood 30 to 22. The Gem Staters, who had been attempting long shots during the first part of the game without a,ny degree of success, now dropped three through the hoop In rapid succession. A converted foul by Hunter gave the Idaho team an other point and made the count 30 to 29. The visitors tried hard for another basket but the whistle blew before they had another chance to score. The Gem Staters used a system of long passes and long shots at the bas ket while the clubmen worked the ball down the floor giving their for wards easy shots at the hoop. Hunter was high-point man for the losers, while Bob Morton marked up 18 points for the Winged M team. W. H.

DARCY TALKS ABOUT WIGGINS Baker, outdoor athletics and track; Indianapolis Middleweight Believed No Match for Battling Ortega Jimmy Darcy, the Portland middle weight, is breaking into print regu larly now in San Francisco. He had the following remarks to make when questioned by a boxing critic in the Seal Rocks city the other day after he received a trimming from " Chuck Wiggins, the Indianapolis middle weight: "Jimmy Darcy tells me that Chuck Wiggins 'made a fortunate decision when he accepted a match with Bat tling Levinsky in the east and passed up Battling Ortega. "Ortega can whip Wiggins in any kind of fight," says Darcy. "Wiggins shows up well only when he can stand away and fight. When a fellow forces him he becomes rattled. 'I found this out in the last round But then it was too late. He had out- boxed me and was entitled to the de-cislon. 'Ortega would be on top of him all the time and would give Wiggins no chance to use his cleverness. "Boy McCormick would also whip Wiggins. The Boy would be too ag gressive and tough for him. "Cleverness does not bother Ortega very much. He just brushes aside the punches and gets past them." Darcy is not saying that he could whip Wiggins in another fight. "But I know Ortega would whip him." he says. "Wiggins doesn't hit hard enough to slow Ortega." THE EVOLUTION OF A MAN'S FEET AFTER A VISIT TO THE ATJTO SHOW. I -W (5) BY RICHARD R. SHARP. The four participants in the double main event at the Milwaukie arena tonight will have something more to fight for besides the usual referee decision. A victory tonight will mean a whole lot to any one of the four men, as the winner in each of the two ten-round topline mills featuring Harry Schuman vs. Jimmy Marshall and Tommy Barone vs. Earl Baird have been promised a bout not later than next month against one of the best men at their weight in the country. Charley White or some other of the country's leading lightweight battlers will be engaged to tangle with the victor in the Schuman-Marshall scrap, while Joey Fox, recognised feather weight champion of England, will likely be signed to meet the winner of the Barone-Balrd set-to. Of course the reward will come only if the winner makes a worthy showing and figures on his ringwork to be able to cope with anything that might be sent in against him in the line of a formidable opponent. Both Boys Brilliant. Both Schuman and Marshall claim that they can hold their own with anything at their weight outside of Benny Leonard and either would tackle the champion if offered the opportunity. Schuman Is a fast-mix ing sensational style of fighter, while all the "dope that Is available on Marshall points to the fact that he is an ever-on-the-go boxer with bet ter than the average boxing ability and a good punch.- His record Is studded with knockout victories and all of them have been recorded inside of four rounds. Tommy Barone, the husky little St. Paul ringman, is one that will bear watching tonight. Barone carries sn assortment of punches and styles that have seldom been introduced by a boxer who has Invaded the northwest and Baird will serve to give him the acid test, when they clash in their ten-round go. Motion Is Middle Name. Barone hits from every Imaginable angle and keep? boring in with a rip-tearing attack, shooting In upper- cuts and hooks of every description. Baird has never backed up to a fighter at his weight yet unless he was fighting while he was movtna. back and is a regular perpetual mo tion fighting atom. Scotty" Williams, the colored wel terweight from Chicago, whom Jack Grant thought was good enough to meet Battling Ortega and signed him up after watching him work out with "Boy" McCormick, will make his sec ond start in this neck of the woods against Marty Foley, a boy with a regular "k. o " record from Tacoma. Williams came to Portland abou three months agj with the informa tion That he had acted as a sparring partner for Jack Dempsey and had fought many of the best men in thtj country. Matchmaker Frank Kendall signed him to meet Billy Wright of Seattle and about the same time Jack Grant signed him to meet Battling Ortega in Portlprd at a later date, figuring that on his showing in the gymnasium Williams would make short work of the clever Wright Scotty worked out dally with the rugged McCormick and the night of his bout found himself dead on his feet, losing the decision to Wright. Williams, however, showed flashes or form that stamped him as a mighty good boxer and this time he says that it will be a different story. It will be Foley's first start in Oregon but he has been meeting them all up north the past four years and for a time looked like a coming champion. Williams and Foley will go six rounds or less. Johnny Fontana. the United States army featherweight champion, and Weldon Wing will meet in the other six-round special event, which prom ises to be a regular "he" battle from start to finish. Fontana Is not an old boxer in years, but is a veteran in experience. He has been fighting for quite a stretch and has met some f the toughest Bantamweights ana featherweights in the game. Wing has been making better showings with each start and can be depended upon to give any of the boys at his weight a real battle Wing has never been able to get started in bis home town. In Los Angeles. San Francisco or Seattle Weldon steps like a champion and Is good for a main go any day. When he gets back to Portland his work goes for nought. However, Wing has been traveling at a fast clip of late and seems about due to jump into the top rank again. Fontana is a man that he should be able to make a showing against. George Burns and Frankie Webb will mix four rounds m the curtain- raiser, with the card getting under way not later than 8:30 o clock. Am ple car service will be available fot the fans.
