to Send Madden Against
Atlantic Coast Talent.
Since "Mutt" Bronson. the sensation
al Portland schoolboy. forced Lee
Johnson to taste defeat at the Rose
City Athletic Club three weeks aeo.
Portland fandom has been eager to see
the great little boxer in action again.
Local fans will flock to see the
Portland pride next Thursday night at
me ciuo on the East Side, when he will
endeavor to annex the lightweight
championship of the Northwest in a
clash with Lloyd Madden, the best
lightweight in Seattle. Some of those
on the inside are of the belief that
Slurry is biting off more than he can
chew in selecting Madden from a field
of boys who are eager to meet him.
Admirers Are Confident.
However, his admirers think that
Bronson will be the new champion next
Friday. They point to the fact that
"Muff" crawled through the ropes of
a seattie ring last Friday night and
fought Chet Neff to a draw. The ac
counts of the contest from Seattle read
that Neff shaded the Portland young
ster, but Portland fans will stand
with him, for those who know how
decisions in these short bouts go rea
lize that an outsider has to hold a home
boy pretty even to get a draw, espe
cially where there are two Judges.
"Muff" Bronson returned from Seat
tle last night looking as dapper as a
college youth after his strenuous bout
with Chet Neff. Joe Flanigan, who
handled Weldon Wing and Bronson in
Seattle, returned with the former late
yesterday afternoon. All claimed that
Neff was lucky to get a draw with the
Portland schoolboy.
Lloyd Madden was formerly the
National amateur lightweight cham
pion. He represented the Seattle Ath
letic Club. Lloyd kicked over the
simon-pure traces only a short while
ago. He won the lightweight cham
pionship of the Northwest from Harry
Anderson, of Vancouver. B. C, about
a month ago. Anderson won the pop
ular verdict over Champion Freddie
Welsh a week or so before.
Madden Hard Fighter.
Madden is a mixer pure and simple,
and loves to stand toe to toe and ex
change wallops. He has a kick in
either hand. Chet Mclntyre. former
boxing instructor at the Seattle Ath
letic Club, handles Lloyd, and if he is
successful in his next few bouts in
tends to send the Sound City battler
East to go under the management of
Harry Pollock, who handles Freddie
Welsh. Mclntyre and Pollock are close
friends.
It will be remembered that Mclntyre
headed a syndicate at Vancouver, B. C.
which tried to get Willie Ritchie and
Freddie Welsh together for a light
weight championship conflict. Pollock
was on the ground at the time, and
consequently Mclntyre's word goes a
long way with the manager of the
lightweight champion of the world.
The Rose City Athletic Club plans
to stage the greatest show of the year.
It will be the last one in Portland dur
ing 1916, and the organization across
the brink intends to see the old year
out by giving the fans a run for their
money.
Seven Bonta Planned.
No bouts have been lined up for sure
by the club, but there will be seven
presented, one more than usual. Here
are some of the tilts which the man
agement will endeavor to line up and

Australian middleweight, arrived here
today after an' adventurous two
months' voyage from the Antipodes,
and will be signed to meet Georges Car-
pentier, the French heavyweight. Jack
Dillon or Billy Miske, within the next

He stated he had kept In moderately

The Australian middleweight left
Newcastle, Australia, as a stowaway
late in October without saying any
farewells, and his disappearance caused
much wonder in Australian sporting
circles. He traveled under the name

SUFFERIN' cats, but the Pacific Coast
League is in a frightful predica

the Salt Lake meeting.
Harvey Neweli. George White, Wal

Archie and Rich Parrott demand a trial
with Portland or any other Pacific
Coast League club. In no case do the
whiskers of any of this octet reach his
knees. All of them are now located
permanently in Portland and therefore
the Beavers will either have to take
them to the Spring camp or admit
that they do not want "youngsters."
This leaked out at a meeting called
at Childers & Newell's billiard parlors
last night. Harvey Newell reached no
further in his profession than the
Washington State, a class D league.
White was in the Coast League for
one minute. Childers went as high as
the Northwestern League.
"Roughneck Ed" never played a
whole season in class AA ball. Pearl
Murray's height was the Southern
League. Joe Fay drew pay in the
Coast League for only a couple of
months, while Archie and Rich Par
rott never did compete In professional
baseball circles.
Pearl Casey tried -to "horn in" on
the "four youngster rule," but of course
was voted out, for someone dug up the
records where he ' spent several sea
sons eating class AA beans.
The "ambitious octet" has already
started training. The members as
sert that they will cavort like colts in
the Spring. It is to be hoped that none
of the Coast League managers get
killed in the rush endeavoring, to sign
them. Ed Kennedy was appointed a
committee of one to telephone Judge
McCredie at once and advise him of the
Portland club's fate. He did so and
the Portland Jurist has the subject
under advisement.

golf links In the West. At present
the Waverley Country Club is the only

Work on enlarging from nine holes
to 18 is already under way. both, at
Tualatin and at the Portland Club, and
hopes for the new municipal course
nave Dy no means been abandoned.
Plans are all drawn and actual work
is being done at the Portland links.
Plans also have been prepared by the
Tualatin officials and these are now
being gone over by Chandler Egan. of
jvieaiora, ror a final O. K.
The new Tualatin course will be ap
proximately 6294 yards in length, or
nearly 100 yards longer than Waver
ley. The first nine will be 3204 yards
and will embrace only the first four
holes of the present nine-hole course.
After the fourth hole the course will
swing off to the west into the woods
that skJrt the Tualatin River.
The first nine will finish with a short
mashie pitch of 140 yards over a water
Hazard onto a terraced green Just to
the northwest of the clubhouse.
The second nine holes likewise will
be carved out of the woods, but will
swing into the present course at the
fifth hole, finishing on the present
ninth.

TRAP SHOT LEAGUES 27
In United States Conservative Esti

shooters at 25,000 Sport
Grows More in Favor.
PHILADELPHIA. Dec. 23. (Special.)
In this great and glorious country of
ours the land of the free and the home
of the brave there are 27 trap-shooting
leagues, and the trapshooters con
nected with these organizations could
be massed into auite an army and
trapshooters are pretty fair shots.
However, the Idea of this article was
to deal with trapshooting leagues not
with war or its prospects. We are not
strong for that battlefield stuff. It is
all right in the movies, but not in real
life. There are some people more or
less Interested in sporting events who
thought that the only sport in which
there were leagues was baseball.
Such is not the case, fair reader.
Trapshooting leagues are all the rage
these days. Go back a dozen years and
there was only one league the mis
named Philadelphia Trapshooters' Or
ganization. Ten years ago there were
a couple and today we have 27 and
additions every year. There are no
failures In trapshooting. .
Trapnhootlntr la Perpetual.
Leagues come and go in baseball:
when the people do not turn out the
leagues "blow." but once organized a
trapshooting league sticks forever. Rea
son: It is net a proxy sport. Every
contestant is interested; it is something
he can do. It is a sport In which you
do not have to watch some one else
play, and more and more is baseball
being crippled because of this. People
are now taking to games In which they
can play themselves.
In these 27 trapshooting leagues
there are at least 25.000 transhoorcri.
That is a conservative estimate. The
Philadelphia Trapshooters' Leaeue has
ten clubs in and about Philadelphia on
Its rolls and a membership of more
than 2000. These leagues are to be
found all over the country from New
York to Oregon.
Pennsylvania has more gun clubs
than any other state and naturally has
more leagues seven. Illinois has Kix.
Little New Jersey has four. The time
is coming when there will be as many
trapshooting leagues as there are base
ball leagues. This sounds big. and is.
But an assertion five years ago that
there would be more than 600,000 trap
shooters and 4000 gun clubs today
would have brought a smile at that
time, yet they are here with us and the
fraternity is being augmented every
day.

GIVE a man a chance whether he is on the force
or a private citizen. It's the satisfaction, the good
tobacco taste that wins him over to W-B CUT chewing.
There are other things that help: the gentlemanly
appearance that the little chew permits; the easing up
on so much grinding and spitting; last and not least, the
economy but it's the tobacco satisfaction that turns the
trick every time.
