There will be four shipbuilders'
frames today to entertain the baseball
fan. McCormick. -which is tied with
Cornfoot for the leadership of the
league, will clash with Foundation at
Bt. Helens. Foundation won the
championship of the first half of the
baseball season, but has not been play
Ins; as good a frame lately as during
the first two months. One of the prin
cipal reasons Foundation isn't leading
the league at present, is probably due
to the small amount of strengthening:
the team did during: the second half.
Manager Cason thought that the
team he had at the start of the year
was also good enough to wade through
with flying colors during the second
half and while the other teams were
getting additional material, Cason did
not have any strlng3 out for any new
players. He sees his mistake now and
Is out with the rest of the managers
hunting for new material to strength
en his batting department.
Pillett Slated to Start.
Peninsula and Standlfer will clash
fct Vancouver. Although "Stringbean"
Pillett pitched the whole game against
Foundation last Thursday, he will un
doubtedly be on the mound again. The
Vancouver "whirlwind," who pitched
such wonderful games at ,the start of
the season, has loosened up a bit lately.
Pillett is a truckhorse for work and
pitching two games a week does not
hurt his pitching wing a bit.
Rube Maxmeyer will be on the
mound for Peninsula. Reuben has been
hurling fair ball all season and with
horseshoe In his pocket should make
good showing.
Grant Smith-Porter and Columbia
River will fight it out for the cellar
leadership at St. Johns. Both have
lost four games and have yet to reg
ister a marker in the win column. Both
managers are sure that their teams
will be on the long end of the score,
and this game should be a real hum
dinger. Winners Tackle Bncfcarooa.
Cornfoot, the league leader, and Sud-
ple-Ballln will clash at Vaughn Street
grounds, the winner meeting the Buck
aroos in the second game. Cornfoot
has not lost a single game since Pearl
Casey took hold of the team and is
confident of giving the Supple-Ballin
nine a handy trimming. "He who
laughs last laughs best," is the only
thing that Manager Rogers of Supple
Ballin said when asked about his team.
This will be the last game for the
Portland Buckaroos and they are de
termined to make a whirlwind finish.
CAMOOXZ1 TO LEAVE RAYMOND
Southpaw Signs With Grant Smith-

ABERDEEN, ' Wash.. July 6. fSne-
clal.) Jean Camoozi, Aberdeen League
southpaw, has been signed by the
Grant. Smith-Porter shipyard, of this
city. He will begin work at the ship
yard Monday. Camoozi won favor at
the hands of local shipyard men when
he pitched two games against the Sanderson-Porter
shipyard club, of Ray
mond, Saturday. He allowed only 12
hits In the two contests and only one
base on balls.
At the Traps.
Programmes of the grand American
trapshooting handicap tournament the
blue ribbon event of trapdom and the
greatest spectacle In the world from
the viewpoint of the sportsmen are
now in the hands of the thousands of
trapshooters who have participated in
competitive shoots during the past five
ysars.
The "G. A. H.." as the bier shoot f est
Is best known, will be held for the sec
ond successive year under the auspices
or the South Shore Country Club. Chi
cago, 111., and the dates of the tourna
ment are August 6, 6, 7, 8 and 9.
Changes are slight as regards the
events, but in the distribution of the
prise money a change is announced that
is mighty important in these days of
Stress.
e
One-half of all winnlners ef 120(1 nr
Jess will be paid in war savings stamps
and one-half of all winnings over 1200
win be paid In liberty bonds or, in
other words, one-half of the prise
money of the tournament will be paid
in war savings stamps and liberty
bonds. This means that the United
fcUates Government will reap about $10,
uuo to nelp in prosecuting the war
against the Huns.
e e
It has been customary In other, years
to allow the winners of state cham
pionships 16 In number $50 toward
their expenses to the grand American
handicap. This year the winner of
each state championship who partici
pates in the National amateur cham
pionship will be given a $50 liberty
bond which will help swell the total.
e
Trapshooters have unceasingly
worked to aid the Government in prose
cuting the war. financially and other
wise. In nearly every one of the stat6
championship and other important
tournaments war savings stamps and
liberty bonds have been given In lien
of other prizes; trapshooting clubs have
thrown their traps open to instruct
drafted men in the art of shooting, and
from club records about 100,000 trap
ehooters have Joined the colors. Sev
eral ambulances have also been fur
nished to the American Red Cross and
these are in active service in France.
.
On August the Chicago overture,
100 targets from IS yards; the National
doubles championship at SO pairs and
the National amateur championship
for the winners of state championships
will be held. The preliminary handi
cap will take place on August 7, the
grand American handicap on August 8
and the consolation handicap on August
The handicaps will in every case
range from 16 to 23 yards, and the one
set of handicaps will carry through
all events.
Entries for the grand American
handicap which has always been
looked upon as the big event of the
shoot will close July 20. Penalty en
tries can be made after that date, but
the Interstate Association would pre
fer all those who Intend to partici
pate in the event sending in their en
trance by July 20.
The tournament will open on Mon
day, August 5, with the South Shore
Introductory a 200-target event at 18
yards. The professional championship
of the United States will also be con
tested in this event. This will be the
only professional event of the week.
The pros will be squaded among them
selves. The only prize for the event
will be the .honor of being the cham
pion. In addition to the liberty bonds and
war savings stamps to be given in the
grand American handicap tournament
there will be a Red Cross event run
ning during the entire tournament, for
which the Interstate Trapshooting As
sociation will give a $100 liberty bond
to the winner. Targets will be donated
for the event and the entrance fee and
all other receipts will be turned over
to the Red Cross.
Trapshooting is truiy an that it has
been named the patriotic sport.
It will be necessary for a snooter to
compete in either the preliminary or
grand American to enter in the conso

who has won more than his entrance
money in either the preliminary or
grand American is not eligible for the
consolation

there will be an additional one this

FAkREN DISAPPOINTMENT IN
REGENT SCRAP WITH DUFFY
Promise Given When Frankie Stopped Willie Hoppe Not Borne Out in
Ring Operations Hoppe Still in Hospital.
BY HARRY B. SMITH.
S'
AN FRANCISCO, July 6. (Spe
cial.) Frankie Farren is not alto
gether an exploded phenom, but
we'll have to admit that Dolph
Thomas' lightweight doesn't look as
good as once was the case. His steady
progress upward has slowed down to
a walk, and while Farren has the mak
ing of a good boy, we must confess that
he is not the star we thought he was
when he stopped Willie Hoppe.
We gave Farren credit for too much
in besting the Butchertown lad. We
rather stuck him up on a platform all
by himself and now, as the result of
his most recent fight with Oakland
Jimmy Duffy, we have discovered that
after all he is no better than a lot of
other fellows.
Dairy's Right ;Is Surprise.
This boy Duffy, who has been on dis
play in the Northwest, was matched
with Farren last Friday night. And af
ter two rounds of even-up fighting
Duffy was the surprise. He outboxed
Farren and Anally knocked his man
flat with a short right to the point of
the chin. Frankie turned on his back,
with his nose hoisted in the air and
eyes shut. Everybody thought it was
the beginning of the end and half the
audience started for the exits.
At the count of nine Farren was on
his feet and, though dazed, stuck the
round out in mighty good style. The
San Franciscan did fairly well in the
fourth, when he half way sent Duffy
down with a right cross of his own,
but the decision of Referee Toby Irwin
was all a mistake. He called It a
draw, when Duffy, as the experts are
agreed, had a good advantage.
This will call for a return match, but
not for another week. Frankie. so the
story goes, was thoroughly disgusted
with himself and wanted to take a va
cation to disappear from San Francisco
for a few days. As matters stand the
return bout will be put on next week.
Fan-en's Taetlea Faulty.
Farren may do better, but this boy
Duffy looks good to me, and I wouldn't
be surprised to see him score a win at
their second meeting. Farren is a fair
ly clever chap, but since he stopped
Hoppe Frankie has an idea that he
must hold back with his right and
knock his opponent stiff. Perhaps, if
he abandons that scheme and goes back
to real boxing, he may again become
one of our leading lights.
Hoppe. as I think I wrote last week,
has been, and is still, laid upon the
shelf with a case of blood poisoning
in the leg, due to a recent automobile
accident. Though it was feared at the
outset that it might be necessary to
have an operation to amputate the leg,
that danger was passed and now re
ports from the hospital are that Willie
is going to recover.
He still insists that he wants a return
match with Farren, and declares that
when he is over the shock of his opera
tion be will be as good as ever. But
his best friends say no, and they are
going to enter some serious objections
if the promoters and Hoppe get to
gether on the basis of another fight.
Rivers t "Try Cemebaek.
The desire of Farren for a short lay
off this week brought about a shift in
the cards and opened the way for the
comeback match of Joe Rivers and Kid
Tillie Herman, of San Jose. Herman
knocked Rivers galley-west at the
time of the Red Cross benefit show, and
had, the San Josean been equipped with

shot for in the Southern handicap. It
will go to the contestant with the high
est average in the South Shore intro
ductory, Chicago overture. National
doubles, preliminary and grand Ameri
can handicaps. The trophy is valued
at $1000 and goes to the shooter who
wins it three times. It has been in
competition eight years.
The fastest mile worked by a 8-year-old
trotter this season was placed to
the credit of Hollyrood Bob last Fri
day, when he turned the North Randall
track, in 2:08 VI- He is by Peter the
Great out of Fanny Stanton, 2:1014,
and is owned by J. L. Dodge.
a little more experience he might have
stopped Joe. But that didn't happen.
Ever since the Los Angeles lightweight
has been pleading for a return bout.
This is his chance, and if Joe doesn't
make halfway good he might as well
decide to call it quits for all time.
Another relic of days gone by in the
fight game came to hand this week
when announcement was made of the
tearing down of the Eighth-street
arena by a local wrecking firm.
The Eighth-street arena was built
Just prior to the Jeffries-Johnson fight
by Lioula Blot, a local commission man
who had visions of coining a fortune as
a fight promoter. Louis figured that
a fight between Sam Langford and Al
Kaufman would be a corker, particular
ly with the fans all warmed up to the
Reno engagement between the cham
pion and the ex-champion.
So Louis built the arena at an esti
mated cost of $10,000. Incidentally, be
it said, the wreckers paid something
like $1500 for the lumber in the arena
that is eight years old.
Coffroth Tries Fortune.
But Blot didn't succeed particularly
well. Later he turned his lease over
to Jimmy Coffroth. who staged a num
ber of big fights, including lightweight
mills, in which Willie Ritchie, Ad Wol
gast. Battling Nelson, Owen Mo ran and
others figured.
When Eddie Graney, the Tuxedo ref
eree and promoter, matched up Ritchie
and Joe Rivers for a young fortune, he
had no arena, and he was finally given
a one-day lease by Coffroth on the
Cighth-street arena at what is said to
have been a fabulous figure, almost
enough to construct a new arena had
there been time for that work.
The knocking out of anything more
than four-round fights in California
killed the Eighth-street arena, and
Coffroth several years ago abandoned
his lease. Coffroth's old Mission-street
arena, in which championship mills
were staged In the outdoor air after
the fire, has also been torn down and
there Is mighty little to which we can
point when we have visitors who want
to see the sights of pugdom of a few
years back.
A Saatell Ret Welcome.
Frank Schuler, who is back from a
vacation, denies most positively a story
appearing in a local paper that he
planned to use Ad Santell in a match in
the near future, and that he didn't care
what the publie thought of it all,
- "I haven't seen Santell since the day
we met In the courtroom, just before
he left California. said Schuler, "and
1 what is more, I don't care to see him.
I am Inclined to think It will be better
for Santell to He low.
"There is little enough money In the
boxing game these days, let alone what
could be made in wrestling. Ad beat all
the second and third raters, and beat
them so handily it would be foolish to
send him back at them again. To send
him against a top-notcher would mean
a lot of money for railroad fares and
the like. Our expenses would run to
$1000 before we oper.ed the doors, and
in these days that s too much. -
"Further, I question very much
whether Santell Is sufficiently popular.
He created a lot of enemies for him
self in his last few appearances, and I
doubt the advisability of even trying
to use him.
If Schuler feels that way It's almost
a certainty that no one else will take
a chance, so we are safe in saying our
farewells to Adolph aa an athletic card.

Featherweight Champion Says
Title Still His Own.
'DOUBLE CROSS" ALLEGED
Battle at Independence Day Smoker
Held to Have Been Exhibition,
but Weldon Wing- Is Quite
Sure It Was Otherwise.
As a result of the four-round en
counter between Joe Gorman and Wel
don Wing at Vancouver, July 4, in
which Wing was handed Gorman's title
of featherweight champion, quite a fuss
baa been stirred up not only between
the two rival boxers, but between their
many friends as well. It is said af
fairs have reached the breaking point
between Wing and Gorman and that
they are liable to settle their little
squabble the first time they catch sight
of each other on the street.
The embrogllo originated when Lieu
tenant Sheeny, who arranged the
smoker at Vancouver, asked Joe Gor
man, who held the featherweight title.
to appear at a smoker on Independence
day. Gorman consented and told
Sheehy he would box any opponent that
might De secured, wita & keen sense
of what Would be a banner attraction
Sheehy sought out Weldon Wing. Gor
man s closest rival for the crown.
Wing suggested that the bout be not
an exhibition but a real contest.
eheehy assured Wing, so It is said, that
the bout would be a real slam-bang
affair and a winner would be declared.
Gormss Preteste Vlgoretaaly.
Gorman claims he was not advised
that a decision was to be given and
had no idea of Sheehy's intention to
pick a winner until he had crawled
through the ropes on the night of the
bout. Then he protested vigorously
against a decision being rendered.
Sheehy la said to have finally promised
Gorman that no decision would be
rendered.
When the boys had put up one of the
best bouts staged hereabouts in many
moons, Sheehy asked the three judges
for their verdict. They gave the de
cision and title to Wing, with Gorman
protesting - In no mild manner. Joe
claims he was double-crossed and is
aching for another fight with Wing.
The question arises now, who is thi
featherweight champion of the North
west? Beth Principals Talk.
Here is what the principals say:
Joe Gorman "I was double-crossed.
I told them I would not stand for a de
cision and if I thought they would not
keep their word would have pulled the
gloves off and left the ring. As It was
I a-ave Wing a trouncing and the de
cislon in his favor was a robbery I
am still the champion.
Weldon Wing I defeated Gorman
and am champion, that is all there is
to It. Where does he get this no-decision
stuff? Because he happened to
be champion does be think he can put
a fence around the title and save it?
He knew I would defeat him and that
is why he wanted a no-decision affair.
None of this exhibition stuff goes for
me and I am willing to meet anyone
the promoters get for me and hope
they choose Joe Gorman and if I am
beaten. I will shake with him Instead
of raising a holler.
A mlins occurred after the boot. In
which Gorman and Wing and their
friends battled furiously over the out
come of the ring encounter. Fists flew
thick and fast until the military police
rushed to the scene.
In the meantime both Gorman and
Wing and their friends are arguing the
matter and on the surface it looks as
though the best way to settle the
argument is for the boys to step Into
the roped arena, take the lA-round

Effects of War and Enlistment of
Thousands or Fans Deal Gate
Receipts Blow Coasters
May Invade City.
BT JAMES J. RICHARDSON.
The crepe will be hung on profes
sional baseball In Portland and the
Pacific Northwest today when the cur
tain is rung down on the Pacific Coast
international season, which has com
pleted half of Its scheduled games and
according to the rules of the govern
ing body In baseball Is entitled to re
tain title to Its franchise and players.
When Umpire Rankin calls the last
man out In the final Inning of today's
game he will have closed the most dis
astrous season the great National pas
time nas ever experienced In Portland.
Rose City fans have absolutely en-
Joyed what little baseball they inter
ested themselves In this year by perus
ing tne accounts ana box scores in the
newspapers.
"War Deals Death Blow.
Baseball In Portland has been on a
rapid decline since the outbreak of the
war In 114. The attendance at
Vaughn -street park has diminished
gradually until, during the present
week. It has been impossible to realise
enough from paid admissions to pay
tor the balls used In the game.
ine present world-wide conflict with
everybody Interesting themselves in
doing something to help win the war
has undoubtedly been the big factor In
causing the Pacific Coast International
to shut up shop. Times were never
more prosperous in Portland than they
are today. The population has in
creased. Everybody Is busy, but, little
time for baseball has been found in the
hUHtle and bustle of everyday life.
The fact that Portland was forced to
dance to the music of the Pacific Coast
League directors and later forced to
band over Its franchise without any
reimbursement and seek haven ia a
circuit of lower classification where a
greatly inferior article of baseball was
served its patrons was another thorn
in the side of the game in this city.
Jadge McCredle Ont tSOOO.
The present season cost Judge "Will-
lam Wallace McCredle a cool $5000 in
salaries and expenses for his team. At
no time during the ten weeks the Pa
cific Coast International wobbled about
on baseball's tempestuous seas did the
Portland team play to more than a
handful of spectators. It was dis
couraging not only to the players, but
fans alike and the former enthusiasm
of years past was noticeably lacking.
Juuge McCredle is authority for the
statement that baseball in Portland
has been on a decline since 1914 during
which Interim he has lost approximate
ly (23,000. The present year has been
the most disastrous.
To make matters worse this season
Portland had but one player who was
of a salable nature. Cliff Lee, the .
Buckaroo's nifty piece ef backstopping
machinery, was the only player who
showed major league ability during the
10 weeks of baseball, and several clubs
made inquiry, but at this writing none
has closed for his purchase.
Llfe-SavIng Sales Mi a as.
In past seasons the Portland club has
either sold a couple of players or the
majors have drafted one of McCredie's
stars. Last season Charlie Hollocher
was purchased by the Chicago Cuba
for a neat sum. which helped pull the
McCredies out of the hole.
To those well versed in baseball it
looks aa if professional baseball Is
doomed until after the close of the
war. Conditions are such about the
country that fans who formerly were
every-day attendants have ceased to in
terest themselves in the game. Thou
sands of former 33d-degree fans who
paid their quarters and half dollars at
the gate every day are now doing their
bit across the big pond. With such
conditions It is hard to conceive how
anybody could expect the great Nation
al game to thrive.
Unless all signs fail Seattle and
Portland will become the territory of
the Pacific Coast League when pro
fessional baseball In these diggings la
again resumed. These two cities are
worthy of consideration at the hands
of the California magnates, and when
the proper time comes It is expected
that no serious opposition will bob up
to prevent the Pacific Coast League
annexing the two Northwest metrop
