HERMUH-FJUWIER GO
RESULTS I DRAW
Four Other Fights at Armory
Called qual.
GORMAN BEATS LANGFORD
Stnrphy-Wlllts, Gordon-Coy and
Trambltas-Burns Contests End
With Divided Laurels.
Attesting to the popularity of the
new regime of the Portland boxing
commission, a much larger crowd
than usual attended the bouts last
night at the armory. Four of the
sessions were draws. The results
were as follows: .
Tiny Herman boxed a draw with
Frank Farmer, ten rounds.
Frankie Murphy boxed a draw with
Stanley Willis, ten rounds.
Joe Gorman defeated Young Sam
Langford. ten rounds.
Abie Gordon boxed a draw with
Johnny Coy. four rounds.
Johnny Trarnbitas boxed a draw
"With George Burns, four rounds.
Referee Francis" decision of a draw
In the headline bout between Farmer
and Herman seemed to meet favor
with the fans.
Farmer Forces Boxing.
Farmer forced the boxing during
the early rounds and proved much
quicker than his heavier opponent.
Iuring the last two or three rounds
Herman roughed things a bit and
took advantage of his weight and
probably had a shade the better of
the argument at the finish.
Draw was all anybody could have
called the bout.
In the semi-windup. Referee Fran
cis missed the decision several fur
longs. Murphy outpointed Willis in
nearly every round and clearly was
entitled to the referee's decision.
The Denver welterweight showed
bundles of class from start to finish
and had Willis in a bad way on more
than one occasion. Stanley's ability
to take a lacing won him the plaudits
of the fans when the battle was over.
Gorman Punches Steadily.
Joe Gorman struck a tartar In his
ten-round setto with Young Sam
Langford. the negro 130-pounder from
San Francisco. Sam was there when
Joe went after him, and again he was
not. He stood up and held his own
from round to round, but Gorman
kept up his steady punching and
whacked his way to a decision, but
knew that he had been in a fight.
Abie Gordon and Johnny Coy, fly
weights, the latter a new comer
here, put up a fast four-round scrap,
stepping toe to toe at times with a
steady exchange of. wallops from
round to round. Coy shaped up as
a clever little battler with a snappy
punch, but Abie was too smart for
him and as the fight progressed took
the lead. The bout was called a
draw.
The Burns-Trambitas go over the
four-round route was a regular rough
and tumble affair, with the boxers
on the floor part of the time. Burns
stops at nothing to beat a man. and
for a while It looked like curtains
for the younger member of the Trarn
bitas family, but he weathered the
storm and was rewarded with a draw.
Main Go Not Whirl-wind.
Getting back to the main number.
It was not a whirlwind for action but
there was plenty of hard fighting
crammed in the ten rounds and had
Chet Mclntyre's likely-looking pro
tege got in and roughed it the first
seven rounds like he did the last
three the result might have been an
other story. The longer the bout, the
better Herman got and along in the
ninth he hit Farmer plenty.
Herman made an exceptionally
good showing for a green youngster
as he is still practically a novice in
the game, and accomplished a feat
that few heavyweights on the Pacific
coast have done, that is. holding
Farmer to a draw. Young Hector
and the more experienced all went
down to defeat before Frank's crush
ers and Hugh Walker, a real boxer,
took a good lacing recently.

NE of the scientific rules de-
oped in late years by effi-
cy experts provides much of
the dramatic-comedy element in the
laest feature, "The Fortune Hunter,"
which will open today at the People's
theater. The picture shows that often
an outsider can step into a store or
other place of business and see op,
portunities to increase and improve
the business that the owner would
never have noticed.
"The Fortune Hunter" is an adapta
tion of the famous stage .play by
Winchell Smith. The title role is
Nathaniel Dunham, the youth who
leaves the city to go to a small town
and hunt up an heiress.
His old roommate, who has mapped
out the scheme, has instructed Jun-
ham to first locate the town gossip,
get all the facts about the town, then
get a job where he won't have "to soil
his hands. After that, he argues, it
will be easy to win the heiress.
Dunham gets a job as clerk in the
town's poorest drugstore. Before
many days have gone, the youth dis
covers a dozen ways to make the
store better and more successful. His
fresh viewpoint takes in facts that
the old druggist would have been
blind against, because of having been
near them too long.
Dunham wins the heiress, but a lot

Screen Gossip.
Three pictures were passed upon at
the first meeting of the new board of
censors held the first of this week.
They were "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,"
the Universal pitcure, "Burnt Wings,"
starring Frank Mayo, which were
passed, and Sessue Hayakawa's "The
Tong Man." The last picture was
not passed, as the old board had con-
1 demned it and the new board felt its
decision should not be altered. Sixty
new viewers are now being selected
and will be announced by .the board
the first of next week. The board is
composed of Mrs. Alexander Thomp
son, Dr. Jonah B. Wise and C. "S.
Jensen.
A popularity voting contest for
choosing the world's most popular
motion picture star was recently con
ducted by the Minneapolis Journal.
Norma Talmadge won by several
thousand votes. Constance Talmadge
was also well up at the head of the
long list of screen favorites.
Omar Farrell of the Louise Glaum

There has been considerable bid
ding recently among motion picture
producers for the film rights to the

Schenck, who has just purchased the
rights for Constance Talmadge. "Wed

has duplicated the- tremendous popu
larity of his previous play in col
laboration with Margaret Mayo, "Twin
Beds."
TEAMS REDUCE TODAY
LIMIT OP 18 PLAYERS
GOES
INTO EFFECT.
Portland Turns Out Honeck and
Lefty Durning But Keeps
Strings on Barnabe.
Yesterday was "Black Friday" for
aspiring balltossers. as today is the
day which all Coast league teams
must be down to the 18-man player
limit. Nearly all of the clubs have
been' carrying from 20 to 23 players,
giving all of the youngsters a thor
ough test, and those who could not
stand the Pacific brand of acid last
night received the well-known gate.
Walter McCredie, manager of the
Portland Beavers, released three play
ers, who will draw their final pay
check this morning. They are Char
ley Barnabe, all-round utility man;
Al Honeck, Inflelder, and Pitcher
"Lefty" Durning, Durning and Ho
neck were released outright, while
Barnabe was turned over to Tealy
Raymond's Yakima club of the Pa
cific International league, which gets
under way May 6.
The release of these three young
sters, who received tryouts this year,
puts the Beavers down to the 18-man
mark. Walter McCredie is still look
ing for a player or two from Detroit,
and if they materialize it will mean
that some more pruning will have to
be done, but just at present the re
mainder of the flock is safe.
Charley Graham, Seal boss, was not
at liberty to announce last night
whom he would release. Graham is
carrying 20 players, which means that
two will draw the blue sliD. Graham
has several minor deals on regarding
some of his youngsters and had to
wait pending the receipt of telegrams
before taking any steps toward re
leasing players.

SAN FRANCISCO. April 30. (Spe

main event of the Dreamland bnv
tonight. Trarnbitas started well, but
finished pulled up and whatever shade
there was belonged to McCarthy. The
Portlander had a cut eye in the last
round that bothered him and there
was no question but that Johnny led
in tho third and fourth rounds.
Jimmy Dundee took a decision from

DEMOCRATS PREPARE
FOR HDUSECLEANING
State Committeemen and
Proxies Meet Today.
FEELERS ARE SENT OUT
Order of Business Is to Ask Stark
weather to Resign or to De
clare Office Vacant.
Between proxies and committeemen
there will probably De a working
quorum of the democratic state com
mittee at the Multnomah at 2 o'clock
today. The order of business Is to
ask Harvey G. Starkweather for his
resignation as state chairman, or to
declare the chairmanship vacant and
elect a new committee head.
Floating around the hotel lobbies
yesterday, trying to get a line on any
stray committeemen who might have
arrived early on the scene, was F. S.
Myers, deposed Portland postmaster,
who is particularly anxious that Mr.
Starkweather defeat George E. Cham
berlain for the democratic nomination
for United States senator. A few dem
ocrats landed in town last night and
Informally canvassed the situation.
Honaecleanlna; Expected.
Apparently the object of the special
meeting of the state committee is to
do a little housecleanlng. Some com
mitteemen consider It rather unethi
cal for Mr. Starkweather, as state
chairman, to be a candidate against
Senator Chamberlain without resign
log. The position taken by Mr. Stark
weather is that he has already re
signed and in now just a lay demo
crat with the perfect right to run
for office. The point on which Mr,
Starkweather and some of the state
.committeeman differ is that Mr. Stark
weather resigned to the executive
committee, which he himself ap
pointed, while the stats committee
men maintain that the only bodyj
wnicn can legauy accept mr. aiarK-
weather's resignation and fill the va
cancy Is the state central committee.
Where Walter M. Piercfe stands in
the controversy is not known, as he
had a brief talk with Mr. Myers yes
terday afternoon and later announced
that it is imperative for him to be
on his farm and that he would take
the train last night for home. Mr.
Pierce, by the way, is a candidate
for re-election as state senator. He
says that Bruce Dennis dared him to
run and he accepted the dare. There
is no one opposing Mr. Pierce for the
democratic nomination and the re
publicans have no candidate, but as
Mr. Pierce senses the situation, there
is a movement to have republicans
write In the name of Mr. Dennis and
thus force the party nomination on
him.
. Row Reported Spread in a.
The row in the democratic party is
spreading. Report comes that W. T.
Vaughn, who filed as candidate for
the democratic choice for vice-president,
had a run in with Editor L. A.
Long, at Hillsboro, a few days ago.
A number of republicans were specta
tors to the slanging which Mr. Vaughn
and Mr. Long handed out. There were
no fatalities, nor any gore. Mr.
Vaughn, according to Hillsboro gossip,
was out crusading against Senator
Chamberlain and the editor resented
it. It is an even bet among Hills
Doro repuDucans tnat there Is one
democratic vote, at least, in Hillsboro
that Mr. Vaughn will not receive for
vice-president.
7 IDAHO VOTES LISTED WOOD
Boise Man Declares Hoover Will
Get 5 on Second Ballot.
'Idaho's eight delegates, with c
exception, will vote for Wood on the
first ballot, and will scatter on the
second, with five going to Hoover on
the second and third ballots, states
R. F. Bicknell. president of the Over
land National bank of Boise. Mr.
Bicknell. who was food administrator
for Idaho during the war and thus
came In close contact with Herbert
Hoover, was looking over the situ
ation in Portland yesterday while on
his way to California.
When we started, we had a hand!
cap," explained Mr. Bicknell. "The
Wood people had been organized for
a couple of months and had most of
the leading republicans with them
However, we started the Hoover club
movement and succeeded in prevent
ing General Wood from landing an,
instructed delegation. The Idaho
delegation goes uninstructed. Senator
Borah, of course, as one of the dele
gates, will vote first, last and all the
time for Senator Johnson, but the
other seven delegates have a variety
of choices. i
"The delegates at large are John
Gray. Stanlet Eastman, John Thomas
and Senator Borah. Delegates from
the north district are Major Jones and
N. Jennesse. and the southern dele
gates are W. P. Guthrie and W. B.
Yeaman. On the first ballot Wood
will receive seven votes. On the sec
ond two will go to Lowd-en and five
to Hoover. These Hoover men will
also go with him on the third ballot.
Almost to a man, the county food
administrators are supporting Hoover,
although they are divided about 50-50
as republicans and democrats. The
democrats say that, because of their'
party affiliation, they cannot openly
declare themselves for Hoover, but
they are doing all they can to help
behind the scenes. An attempt has
been made to swing the farmer vote
from Hoover by saying that be set the
price of wheat. Congress set the
-price and Hoover simply carried out
the Instructions. From what I know
of Hoover he Is a good friend of the
farmers and maintains that the farm
ers should receive greater recognition
from the government as a business
proposition, for farming is one of the
biggest businesses in the nation. If
not the largest.
"Last year I traveled in six coun
tries in Europe, neutral and otherwise,
and in every one I found that Hoover
was respected and respected even
more and held In higher regard than
President Wilson. I found Mr. Hoover
a man of action and resource and be
cause of my implicit confidence in the
man I am supporting him. and I be
lieve that this Is the reason which
prompts all the" others who worked
with and under him to rally to his
standard."

David B. Thomas, clerk In the Port

real estate agency, were the two Port

Thursday morning, it was established
yesterday.
The two were to have gone on a
fishing trip to Oregon City Thursday,
and when they failed to report for
work yesterday morning friends bus
pected that they were the two re
ported to have met with a fatal acci
dent. An lnvesltgation conducted yes
terday confirmed the suspicion.
An additional link of proof tending
to indicate the drowning of the two
men was reported late yesterday from
Jennings Lodge, where a fisherman
drew up on his line an army slicker
coat.
Slicker Carried. Says Mother.
Mrs. M. A. Thomas, mother of David
B. Thomas, said last night that her
son was wearing, or at least had with
him, such a slicker. She described
the garment minutely, stating that
she had patched two holes near the
bottom with a sort of upholstery
cloth.
Unfortunately, the- garment drawn
from the river was not taken to au
thorities either at Oregon City or
Portland, but will probably be lo
cated today. Fishermen returning
from Jennings Lodge reported the
matter, but did not know the name
of the man who drew up the slicker

nor had they thought to connect it
with the rumored drowning at the
time.

superintendent of the water bureau,
and H. L. German, chief clerk of the
water bureau, and other friends went
to Oregon City yesterday and made a j

success. After his return, Mr. Brady
said that it was practically impossible
to grapple successfully for the bodies,
owing to the speed of the current and
the nature of the bottom at the place
where the two are believed to have
gone down.
Boat la Hired.
The two men left Portland at an
early hour Thursday morning and
drove by automobile to a boathouse
operated by H. C. Frisbie, located on
the east side of the river at Oregon
City.
Mr. Frisbie reported renting a boat
to a man named Thomas at about &
A. M. The description of the man and
his companion answered the descrip
tion of the two Thomases who are
missing.
About an hour and a half after the
boat was rented it was found drift
ing down the river by other fisher
men. The craft was badly battered
when found and one oarlock was torn
away. .
The two men are said to have start
ed rowing toward the falls with two
sets of oars after leaving the boat-
house, and it was presumed that they
got too near the falls and were
swamped by the strong current. No
one saw the accident and consequent
ly the exact truth probably will never
be known.
Auto Found in Search.
The search which was started by
friends yesterday revealed the auto
mobile near the boathouse, where it
had been left. '
Although not related, the two men
had been friends since boyhood. Da
vid B. Thomas lived with his widowed
mother at 935 East Twentieth street
North and his companion. Evan R.
.Thomas, lived at 1346 East Nineteenth
street South. He was married and. be

bureau for the last ten years. Hewas

E. R. Thomas and his family had
been residents of Portland for the
last ten years. He had been connect
ed with the F. L. McGuire agency for
bout a year, but previous to that
conducted the Pacific Coast Credit
association. He was 41 years old
