BT EDWARD HILL.
Jlalph Gruman. the Portland light
weight, may never again fight in Call
Xornia as the result of the passage of
the anti-fight law. He immediately
will get in touch with his manager
Marry Foley, who is now in San Fran
cisco. ' Unless Foley arranges a bout
ior him before the law becomes effec
tive, early next month, he will pre
pare to go East. Gruman has several
friends and relatives in New York and
that city probably will be the next
scene of his fistic endeavors. '
"If 1 go East.", said Ralph, "I will
Journey by way of Denver and try to
get a match with Stanley loaKum. i
think that I would have no trouble in
iwlnning from the Colorado cave man."
Gruman does not consider that he
will have a hard time with any of
the Gotham boxers but. that if they
ere like those he met on the Coast, he
.would prove an easy victor.
Career Begun With Columbus Clnb.,
Ralph started, his pugilistic career in
Portland in 1911. A veteran of the ring
Eaw Ralph working out and had him
Join the old Columbus Club. As a
representative of this club, he gained
(fame in local amateur ranks. Stanley
McDonald, at that time boxing instruc
tor of the Columbus Club, saw . the
making of a clever boxer in Ralph and
brought him along slowly, developing
him perfectly.
Gruman made a name for himself in
local amateur circles and when Willie
Ritchie, then the lightweight champion,
came through Portland he invited
Ralph to his camp In California.
Ritchie aided Gruman in his training
for the bout with Joe Rivers. Ralph,
however, did not arrive in San Fran
visco until after Ritchie had finished
training and missed a chance to work
- In the champion's camp. Later Billy
Nolan and Ritchie fell out and Harry
Foley became Ritchie's manager. Fo
ley, however, had an altercation with
the champion and they parted company.
In the meantime, Gruman had been
showing considerable class in his
bouts about the Bay City and Foley
applied for the position of managing
the Portlander.
Professional Game Has Appeal.
After failing to get a chance' in
Ritchie's camp. Gruman worked out at
the Carmen's gymnasium in San Fran
cisco with Jimmy Carroll and Johnny
McCarthy.
"After my stay with these fighters,
I began to consider professional work
myself," said Ralph yesterday.
The Ritchie-Rivers' fight on July 4
was the first real ring battle Gruman
ever saw.
"There was a great difference be
tween the real and the amateur game,"
raid Ralph, "but I had a hunch that I
could be as good a man in the pro
fessional ranks as I had been in the
amateur. I was offered a preliminary
four-round bout with Jack Bratton a
few weeks later and took It.
"I never will forget my first pro
fessional fight. when I hopped into
that ring 1 was as nervous as a sick
cat. I seemed to be walking on air.
and every time anyone would say any
thing to me it sounded like they were
about a mile away.
Only Defeat la by Bratton.
The only fight Gruman has lost as
professional was 'that first battle with
Bratton. He never could arrange
another bout with him. "I boxed him
once after that in training," said Ralph,
"and he didn't lay a hand on me, while
H could have peppered him with ease.
Bratton now is fighting in the
bushes, while Gruman is considered a
coming champion.
The next fight Ralph had was With
Jimmy Leach. He hit Leach on the
chin after about one minute of fighting
and knocked him out cold. Joe Conley
was his next victim. Gruman had Con
ley all in in the fourth round and
ecoreda knockdown as the bell rang.
The Portland boy's next battle was
with Jimmy McVey, one of Ritchie's
eparring partners. This was the fight
that caused considerable comment
when Gruman was given a draw after
having beaten McVey all the way.
Ralph says McVey is the cleverest
boxer he has ever met. ;
Gruman Easily Defeats White.
After the McVey fight the Portland
boy met and knocked out Eddie White
' in two rounds. Until this time White
never had been beaten in San Fran
cisco. Dick Kendall was Gruman's next
victim. Ralph got the decision in four
rounds.
Walter Scott, the next man to face
Gruman, suffered a broken Jaw at the
hands of the Portland boxer and has
, not been in the ring since. Scott was
eaid to have the fastest left hand in
San Francisco before the Gruman bat
tle. A six-round return match between
Gruman and Kendall came next. Ac
cording to reports of the fight in the
papers at that time Kendall did not
hit Gruman one real punch during the
Dour.
In the next contest that Ralph par
ticipated in the Pacific Coast light-
-weignt cnampionsnip changed hands,
with Gruman on the receiving end.
The victim was Johnnie O'Leary, the
mgniy-toutea Seattle scrapper. Gru
man won easily in four rounds and
had the Seattle boy hanging on when
tne final ben rang.
FltuimmoM Also Victim of Ralph.
The next fight gained more publicity
ror Gruman than all bis former bat
ties combined. It was the four-round
encounter with Sally Salvadore, in
which Referee Frank Schuler "lost his
head and called the bout a draw.
Gruman had the best of it all the way,
and at the last bell Sally walked to
his corner and started to leave the
ring, when Schuler called him back
and held up his hand.
"I think Eddie Kelley must have run
100 miles in trying to keep away from
me," said Gruman in speaking of the
draw with the Harlemite. "He had a
most peculiar style of fighting and
never opened up."
The last battle Gruman had before
coming home initiated him into the
3 5-round game. He won the decision
from Willie Fltzsimmons. Fitzsim
mons is an old-timer and has beaten
euch boys as Monte Attell and Lee
-lonnson. He also won from "Kid
Williams before the Baltimore battler
won tne bantamweight title.

NEW LEAGUE IN AIR
Soccer Players May Arrange
Schedule for Six Teams.
FIRST GAME INSPIRES IDEA
Old-Time Speed Revealed by Veter
ans Who Learned Sport on Other
Side, hut Now Plan to Revive
It for Contests Here.
Plans are being formulated by sev
eral well-known, local soccer flayers
to open a league of four or six elevens.
Several of the former high school stars
want to get on with some of the pros
pective squads but as yet nothing def
inite has been arranged.
The opening game of the year saw
two aggregations picked from all the
leading British players In Portland and
resulted in a 3 to 3 score. These play
ers will be used as a nucleus for the
new organization that is being formed.
The game was played for the Red Cross
fund of the British Benevolent Society
and more than $150 was derived from
the gate receipts.
None of the men who played in that
benefit affair started his soccer career
in this country, it being understood that
all must be either Scotch, Irish or Eng
lish, and played their first game in the
old country.
Some of the .older generation . who
were seen in action started In more
than 20 years ago and although rather
stiff in the joints a good brand of soc
cer was put up to the several hundred
fans who were on hand. Flashes of
old-time speed were quite frequent by
some who had not been out in a suit
for two or three years.
Because the result ended Invlnclbles
3, Dreadnoughts 3, these same aggrega
tlons are planning to come together
sometime in the near future to settle
the supremacy.
MULTNOMAH IS VICTOR
ABERDEEN MOOSE GO DOWN TO
DEFEAT, SCORE 15 TO 3.
Game Taken nm Sort of Burlesque a
Final Should Have Been 30 or
40 Points, at Last.
Multnomah Club played horse with
the Moose Lodge eleven from Aber
deen. Wash., yesterday on Winged M
Field and beat their lighter opponents
15 to 3. They ought easily to have run
up 30 or 40 points and the small-sized
crowd took the game as a sort of bur
lesque.
Plainly the clubmen were not In con
dition, and Manager Pratt did a wis
thing in scheduling this practice ses
sion, else the club surely would hav
been caught In the hole by Oregon on
Thanksgiving day.
The victors registered two touch
downs In the first quarter, and so con
fident were they that they permitted
"Chub" Cherry to try to kick one goal.
The 225-pound center could barely lift
his foot off the ground, - and his at
tempt did not get to the crossbar.
Straight line bucks is what put th
football across the Aberdeen line
the. opening period. Luke Rader doin
the stunt the first time and Grover
Francis accomplishing the feat the last
try. Francis missed the goal kick after
Eader's six points.
Ira Blackwell, coach .and captain of
the visitors, saved his teammates the
humiliation of a shutout by making a
drop kick from the 16-yard line in the
last quarter. Captain Convill dupli
cated this act a few minutes later with
the ball going from the 25-yard line.
.George Fhilbrook.; who announced
his retirement from active football
playing, was forced into the fray yes
terday by Manager Pratt. Fhilbrook
was the big star of his team, with Ru
pert and Luke Rader coming In for a
hare of the applause. Rader was at
is best on the offensive and he tore
f f more yardage than any of his team
mates.
Two forward passes from Blackwell
to Faulk netted 40 yards, and this was
the cause of Blackwell getting close
nough to score his drop kick. Schu
macher, Steele and Faulk helped Black-
well hold down tthe score.

OTTAWA, Nov... 1. (Special.) East
ern papers are welcoming fortiana
into hockey ranks and hope to see the
time when a victorious Portland team
will visit here.
The Ottawa Citizen says: "Out on
the Pacific Coast the Patricks are al
ready on the hustle. It is announced
that the championship season will open
on December 8 with the Vancouver
team playing at Portland, and that it
will close on March 9, with Vancouver
at Victoria.
This would not give the challengers
much time to come East, but fortunate
ly they ; do not' have to do so.. The
world's series and Stanley cup games
will be played In the West next March,
so the Patricks can continue 'their race
longer than last year. The National
Hockey Association, on the other hand.
will have to finish Its season off
earlier than, in 1914, so as to allow
their champions to go West. The Stan
ley, cup- is now. held by the Torontos.
"The new rink ot Portland will be
known as the Hippodrome, and it is
expected that hockey , will make a big
hit on the American side. In the event
of. Portland' winning the championship,
they could not play for tho Stanley
cup, as the rule states that only Cana
dlan teams may try for it
"The Patricks have opened -their ne
gotiations for Percy, Lesueur as man
ager, and he probably will go to the
Coast, if they make him a generous
enough Offer. Lesueur would make a
rattling good manager for one of toe
Coast, clubs, and it is likely that the
Westerners -will meet his terms. They
must, of course.' first make a dicksr
with the Ottawas before approaching
Lesueur. The matter will be taken up
at the next meeting of the Ottawa di
rectors. If Lesueur goes to the Coast.
Clint Benedict will be depended on to
do . all 'the goal-guarding for Ottawa,
which he should be able to accomplish
with ease and- credit, providing he
keeps those pads . tight and overcomes
his weakness on long shots.
- Kenny Mallen, once of the Ottawas,
has' been traded from the New West
minster club for Fred Harris, .who was
with ' the : Vancouver! last Winter.
Mallen will line up with the ' Van
