Britton retains his title as world's welterweight boxing champion, Britton entered the ring shortly after 10 o'clock. The weights were announced as Britton, 146 Vi; Shade, 144. Verdict Is Hooted. Britton, the boxing master, ap peared to have outpunched the chal lenger In all but two rounds, and the verdict of a draw was hooted for several minutes by the crowd, as Shade was wild and landed few ef fective blows. Britton, only half a pound under the present welterweight limit of 147, pounds at 2 V M., was in excel lent condition. Only In one round, the 11th, did ha seem to tire. The champion's age had no apparent effect on his speed and punching power. His opponent, the youngest of the fighting Shade brothers, led the fighting at every opportunity. He staggered the champion once or twice with riifhts to the Jaw, but his at tacks following these blows were always smothered by Britton's de fense. Shade was born at Crockett, Cal. He has fought more than 150 ring battles. His rise in the ring has been rapid and he has met many top notchers. Shade Defeats Ward. Three months ago Shade won a referee's decision over George Ward at Madison Square Garden, and he outclassed Mickey Walker in 11 of 12 rounds.

U PORTLAND BASEBALL CLUB : PURCHASES ANOTHER PITCHER Bremiller, Big Right-hander for Last Two Seasons With Jersey City of International League, Is Added to Staff. ,v ; ""' BT L. H. GREGORY. i 1HE Portland baseball club has bought another pitcher. His name .is Biemiller and he is a big right-hander who for the last two seasons has been hurling for Jersey City in the International league. News of his outright purchase for cash came yesterday from Philadelphia in a tele gram from Tom Turner, manager of the Portland club. Not much is known hereabouts of Biemiller except that his record as shown by the books isnf particularly impressive. However, Turner is very sweet on him. He tried to persuade Bill Klepper several weeks ago' to step out and buy Biemiller, who he declared to be a young pitcher of great promise. 'Don't pay too much attention to Biemiller's record," Turner urged Klepper. "He has been with a tail end club for two years and no pitcher on earth can be expected to show much in the win-and-lose column un der such circumstances. Portland never could have sold Johnson and Pillette on their games won alone. - Biemiller has consistently ranked among the leaders of the International league in earned runs per game. In 1920 he won six games and lost 11. ranking only 52d in games won and. lost,, yet he held his opponents to only i.iv earned runs per game, being 11th from the top. His showing last sea son was as good. I have watched Biemiller closely as scout for the Philadelphia Athletics and I consider him a corking good prospect" Turner's enthusiasm for Biemiller caused Prexy Klepper finally to au- tnorizo mm to buy the young fellow. The telegram yesterday shows that the deal has been concluded. In the same telegram Turner said he was leaving Philadelphia last night direct for Portland. That ought to bring him here by about Wednesday of next week. Just about time enough. ror a conference with Bill Klepper be fore Turner goes south to the Port land training camp at Pasadena. His coming indicates that he has closed with Catcher Frank Bruggy, Dougnt trom the Philadelphia Nation als for JC500, and that Bruggy Is all signed up. In an earlier telegram Turner said he wouldn't quit the east until he had the Portland ball Dlavers obtained from the majors all signed up ana delivered. . Training camp season Is close, at hand. Some of the Beavers' will shove off for Pasadena next week and all of HOLDOUTS PICK ON BBLBT PLAYKRS SEEM TO THINK SE ATTLE PREXY IS SAXTA. ' League's Highest Salaries Declared Paid Now and Still Some Ath letes Keep Chirping. SEATTLE, Wash., Feb. 17. (Spe cial.) Jim Boldt, who is making his first venture into the national game, saj-B the ball players must think he is Santa Claus. The Seattle president opines that he will have the highest salaried team In the league as it is, and still Bome of the athletes ar6 chirping for more jack Hunky Schorr is the newest recruit to the army of holdouts. The hand some Seattle southpaw is asking more American dollars than the Indians-are willing to pay, and matters are at a deadlock. Prexy. Boldt offered Hunky' a $50 over last season's wage,, but informed the southpaw that he would have to sign at once in order to make the olfer effective. Hunky, who valued his left souper at a higher figure than Boldt was willing to pay, thought it over and declined. Boldt figured he was making a generous offer, and Hunky's failure to' accept it so net tled him that he withdrew the $50 a month rise. ' And ngw Schorr will have to sign, at the same salary he got last year. Boldt points out that Schorr's arm went bad last season and that he 1b not sure that Hunky will be worth anything at all to the club. Under those conditions he thinks the south paw is unreasonable in his demands. Schorr showed last year that he is a swell little chucker when he right. The game he pitched against Los Angeles in the, first week of the season, which he won in the 23d In ning, was one of the best twirled contests of the year. But toward the last of the race Schorr lost all his effectiveness and neither Boldt nor McCredle are certain that the ailing arm is right.

Seattle will train at Stockton, with the pitchers and catchers going on this week for preliminary work. Salt Lake win be" at - Modesto,' the San Francisco -Seals at Boy.es' springs, Oakland . at Myrt,ledale Park, and Sacramento at Sacramento "i . The California clubs .enjoy' a big differential in their favor as against Portland. Seattle and Salt Lake in being able to train- In their' .home parks. That not only 'reduces train ing expenses at the start, but enables those clubs virtually to break even for the training period fry early-season -games. It will cost Portland be tween J4500 and J600O for training ex penses, and most of that item will be in the red when the season starts--quite an opening financial handicap. - ' The purchase of Biemiller for the pitching staff just about rounds out the Beavers for the season, pnly one more deal -Is still in the offingthat for Pitcher Vernon Parks', better known as Harold Brooks. Parks was supposed to be all set as a Beaver, but now it develops that when Suds Sutherland was reinstated, he was in cluded as one of the eight ball players released to Portland by Detroit on the Johnson - Pillette deal, instead of Parks. Klepper can have Parks1 under an optional agreement plan if he wants him that way,' but he prefers to buy' him outright. He- Is carrying on cor respondence to that end with Owner Navin of Detroit. If Navln won't sell Parks reasonably then probably he will come here under option. Counting Parks as a member of the staff, that makes the flinging staff look like this: V Left-handers Sam Ross, Lefty Lever enz, Roy Crumpler. Right-handers Biemiller, Parks,'' Suds Sutherland, Johnny Middleton, Freeman, Ralph Coleman. Prospects Ellison, Plummer and Ken Scott of las tyear's Beaver team and a host of untried youths. Not so bad on paper. who is asking for more coin. Boldt, realizing that Jake is a handy young man to have around a ball club, gave him a $1000 rise over last season, but Jake wants more than that. If the ex-St. Louis pitcher gets what he de mands he will be about .the highest paid ball player in the minor leagues Gotta keep the five little Jakes In shoes," says Elmer. 'The salary Jake asks would keen the Russian army In shoes," retorts Boldt. IDAHO HIGH QUINTETS TO VIE Tournament to Be Played at Uni versity March 9, 10 and 11. UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO, Moscow, Feb. 17.

HIGH SALARIES DEPLORED Mentors Demand Twice as Much for lo veeks as Best Profes sors Get in Year, Is View. NEW YORK, Feb. 17rA confer ence between Yale, Harvard and Princeton to consider disarming col lege athletics by "scrapping" all paid coaches was suggested , tonight . by Alexander Meiklejohn, president of Amherst college, in an address before the Amherst alumni here. President Me'klejohn declared coaching systems and sports control at present exercised by college au thorities were wrong. ' "An intercollegiate game is or ought to be a contest between the undergraduates of two competing col leges," he saM. "Our games are man aged by outsiders, coached by outsid ers and in a very real and lament able sense, played by outsiders." College 'authorities. President Mel klejohn believes, are responsible for this condition by taking over con trol of sports from undergraduates and placing the entire management in the hands of a board.. "These men build up a system," he said. "In the hands of that system the players "are puppets used in the conflict wtih, a like system else where. We, will not allow our etu- aenta to earn money by playing be- cause that would destoy the ama teur quality of college sports. But these outsiders demanding for 10 weeks' work salaries tw'ce those .paid to our best professors for a year, make the rules of the game, dom inate plays and substitute for our games annual contests between them selves." In regard to student participation in sports, said Meiklejohn: "I am not saying that undergraduates have too much interest in athletic games. My own impression is that their active interest is too little rather than too great. "I do not think winning teams add to the repute of the college. I think a winning team does not show very strongly that a college is giving a good education. It means some thing, but, in the main, it is irrele vant."
