Yard Hun and Touchdown ' in First Three Minutes. SAN FRANCISCO, .CaL. Sept 21. (Special.) The ' United States Marines started the new football season in the right way today by downing the Sailors of Gpat Island, 31-0, on the Oakland field, in a game that was as full of fight as a battie in the trenches. And it was just about as rough. No trouDle at all to find a scrap, for the young men were all keyed up ready to fight at the drop of4 the hat and they dropped the hat themselves. Just to speed things along. Even the rooters were Just about as ready to fight as the players. - There was plenty of Jazz in the crowd, for the Marines had their, crack -band to lead the cheer stuff and the sailors, with a -smaller band,' made up the deficiency -1n lung power. The sailors got off to'a bad start. A trick play let Dick Hanley, captain of the Marines, scoot around the Sailors' left end for a 90-yard run and a touchdown in the first three minutes of play, and right after that, Day, captain and cen ter of the Sailors' team, was carried off the field with a broken bone in his left ankle. Sailor Rooters Go Wild. Those two things took a lot of "pep' out of the sailors right off the bat, but they rallied in the second quarter and played the Marines off their feet. There was no scoring in thatquarter, but the sailors had the ball within six feet of a touchdown and one down to go when Collins wriggled over. The sailor root ers went wild, thinking a touchdown had been made,, but Collins had gone out of bounds, so the score did not count. That' was the best effort of the sail ors. They could, not come close to a score afterward, and the superior con dition and. training of the Marines told heavily in the second half, when Bill Steers made a couple of touchdowns and Blewett went over for one. Captain Dick Hahley wafifaway off in his goal kicking, for he missed every one after shooting the ball over the bar to con vert the first one. Bill Steers went into the game with an angry boil on one leg and he was crippled so" bad that he could make only two touch downs and . punt (for an average of about 60 yards. Orla ofthese days Bill will be. feeling fit and play a regular game of football. . Collin Playa Hard Game. Collins, of the sailors, spilled a lot of his good Texas gore trylng to win for the sailors, but it could not be done. Risley is just about the niftiest cen ter seen around here in many years. He is rather, small as centers go, but he is as active as a cat and he was the best man in the Marines' Jine of de fense. Time and again be tackled sail, ors behind the line, and he came gut of every mixup unhurfc calmly munch ing his gum. ' ' v The 182-pund back'field of the Ma rines is going to be a great scoring machine when Coach Bill Dletz has a little, time to drill them. They are all fast and know how' to take care of themselves in an open field. - The for ward pass will also' be used a lot, for long-legged Zimmerman is a bear at catching the ball and-teers and Dick Hanley can- certainly heave it. Team Work Is Lacking. There is good material on the Goat Island team, but the men showed lack of 'experience and team work. The lineup: at the club last ntrnt. The swimming tank came in for a good pat of the visitors' attention, and later dancing was indulged in. A large number oi Army and Navy officers and ..enlisted men were present and made known their intentions of becoming members while in Portland. ' The gymnasium classes, which start ed last week, are of such magnitude that Professor Mauthe has been forced to divide the children Into two classes. Eddie O'Connell, boxing and wres tling instructor, on account of so mtffch boxing in the Army and Navy, is teach ing the m3.ly art of self-defense to five times as many members as ever before turned, out for boxing.

A good deal has- been said about the Marines football team at Mare Island, Cal., and it has done a good many things, but there is a United States sailors' team at Goat Island, Cal., this year that also may create quite a fu rore before the 1918 football season is brought to a close. The sailors have been practicing hard under the eye of Andy Smith, coach of the University of California, and although they do not get a great deael of time for. football work, their regular duties keep them In the pink of condition.

Commissioners, After Checking tp Expenses, Will Order Gloves to ,' Bo Distributed to Various - Pacific Coast, Camps, " BT JAMES J. RICHARDSON1. . Boxing smokers may come and box ing smokers may go. but" the equal oi las( Friday night's big benefit show at the Ice Palace will linger long in the minds of the thousands who wlt nessed the nine stellar bouts as belnjT the greatest fight programme staged in any city. The above statement covers a wld territory, but nevertheless no boxlnsf show can boast nine such contests as Corporal Bobby Evans gathered to gether for " the entertainment of tb vast assemblage of fans and fanettea t and thera were plenty of the latter on hand. While the ehow was a success from a fighting standpoint, it was a bit dis appointing from the attendance end of it. The bleachers, where the big money usually pours in from, were not even half filled. The reserved section was populated with more than Its share of Portland's big business men. The turnout,- however, at Lriday night's fights speaks well for tf e future of boxing in tnis city. Undoubtedly been mi reached ' thought such as7 ysually take place at benefits. Try as hard as some of us could we couldn't dent the cranium of some of the boys that the fights were on the "legit," but today those who failed to turn out Friday night are kicking them selves all over for having missed the best fight cafA ever offered anywhere from a real fight standpoint One well-known recently converted fight fan who would go without eatlnir and sleeping for a week was one of tho skeptical boys who failed to turn out for the big fights. He said yesterday: I thought they would be Just boxinir exhibitions, but I see where I was fooled, as were a good many others; After reading what real fights they had I have been kicking myself all day long." The commissioners were busy yes. terday checking up Bobby Evans' ex penses, and after .writing checks for the transportation and other expense of fighters who participated in the big show, will hold a meeting and send li the order for boxing gloves to bo dls- ' tributed to the camps selected by file committee. Biddy Bishop, well-known sporting writer who is now managing Billy Ryan, welterweight, boxer, and inci dentally promoting boxing shows In Cincinnati, will visit the Coast within the next fev weeks. Bishop will leave Cincinnati about September 27, and ex pects to nut liis bov on in Seattle or Tacoma about October 10, after which he wui visit Portland In Quest ot trouble. . b IT Aei r le crowd would have and the $10,000 mark number of fight fans inf. ,.,,. , i . i .i instead of "exhibitions," : Johnny McCarthy. the "fighting Irishman" from JSan Francisco, who sffems to revel In knocking out his Portland opponents in the third round, is anxious to linger In this city and take on anybody his weight. McCarthy Is a big favorite here. On his two ap- pearances In Portland he has "cuckooed" his opponents each in tle third round. Freddie Gilbert, Bend butcher boy, was coming along like a champion until he ran afoul of McCarthy's wicked right cross. Morris Lux, Kansas City welter, was the unfortunate fighter Friday night. Lux was stepping along like a 2-year-old until McCarthy uncorked a hard right that brought defeat for Lux 'the minute it landed. Who's next? Harry Bramer and Heinle Schuman, the ."fighting Marines" from Mare Island, were about yesterday giving the town the "ups and downs" and neither bore any marks of battle. Schu man, who trounced Young Langford, is a tough "bird" for any fighter to beat. He would like to stay over, if given permission, and take on some fighte and earn a little spending money for himself. Bramer won a home with Portland fans by - his remarkable come-back. There are many strange angles to the Bramer-Gorman fight. The most pecu liar Is . the fact that Referee Danny Danziger did not hear the bell sound at the end of the second round, and as Bramer, who had been wining all the way, turned, to walk, to his corner Gor man swung a hard right which caught Harry on the Jaw and down he went. He arose and Gorman hit him again and still Danziger did not hear the bell. It was only after Sergeant Marino ' and ringsiders Jumped through the ropes into the ring and separated the boys that Danziger realized what a mistake had been made. Bramer's ex cellent physical condition stood him in good stead and he will always be welcome to fight in this city. It was impossible to learn yesterday whether the 20 trophies the boxing commission promised to award the fighters were donated, but as tho fighters did their "bit" the commis sion, if they have to spend the money tho,. Viqva in thfl hnxinir commission fund, should reward the boys as prom ised. They deserve it. LEARY XOW WEARS KHAKI Ex-Semi-Profeslsonal Ball Player Is Admitted to Army. 4 Jack Leary, the- semi-professional ball player, who worked at one of the Portland bank's, is In the Army at Camp Lewis. . Leary was turned down by the Army, Navy and Marine doctors as being physically unfit., but when it came time lor his induction into the Army he looked good enough to the medicos to pass. Well, old-top, I am In the Army at last after having been turned down n every branch of the service," Leary wrote to a friend. "I have been here over two weeks now and like it fine.
