The boxing game in Portland seems to be in a rather panicky state of decomposition. It was thought that with the exit of Joe Flanagan for France peace and harmony would .pre vail in local boxing quarters because Joe seemed to have too much brains for some ofthe other magnates and was continually outguessing them in matters pugilistic, which naturally drew the wrath of a certain .clique of hangers-on who delighted in telling of .Flanagans shortcomngs. But. a brief analysis' of events con nected with the Northwest Athletic Club's smoker Friday night leads one to believe that the boys with long swords and longer tongues are 'still wanton with thor maligning of rival promoters and tlie outcome of the squabble probably will mean the end of boxing in Portland unless the boxing commission takes si hand in tho affair and deals severely with those responsi ble for such a state of affairs. Petty jealousy among the promoters backbiting in Its worse form is not only hurting the boxing game, but is putting a big dent in the Oregon Boys" Emergency Fund which has been desig nated by Mayor Baker and the boxing commission to receive a portion of the net proceeds of each smoker. As soon as a promoter is granted a permit to stage a smoker rival pro moters get busy with the sledge-hammer small weapons of knocking not allowed under "Marguis of Rasberry" rules. The promoter signing up his card is never sure that the boys will appear the night of the smoker even though the boxing commission has a rule which says once the mltt-wielars agree to fight only a logical excuse will be accepted should they fail to keep their word. Rival promoters are said to try and persuade the boys signed up to stay off the card or try to cause discontent among them so that one never really knows Just how the card will shape up- on the night of a smoker. It la just such a state of uncertainty and petty bickering and Jealousy that helped kill the game in Fan Francisco. and only hard work and a guarantee that everything would be conducted "according to lloyle" has been the means of reviving the four-round game In the south. Several applications are before the boxing commissioners requesting per mits to stage smokers. The commit sion always has endeavored to keep the game on a high plane. It Is their duty to single out these trouble-makers and make examples of them. Only when the boxing promoters responsible for such a state of affairs are called upon the carpet will the game run smoothly in Portland. If present conditions are allowed to continue the death of boxing in this city ia near.

SCOTT FALLS IN STRUGGLE Corporal Billy Murray Meet Waterloe ta Quirk Time Whea He Uoes CV . Aaalut Famous SontApaW. SAN" FRANCISCO, Oct. 5. (Special.) Knockout Kruvosky stopped Corporal Billy Murray last night at Dreamland In what was really a one-punch fight. for it was one hard blow with his left to the head that closed Murray's left eye and staggered him as well as spelled defeat for the soldier, boy. j After that the bout couldn't be other wise than the one-sided affair it was and everybody with any sense ap plauded the action of Referee Toby Irwin in stopping the match. Before the third round was hardly started he forced Murray to his corner and pointed to Kruvosky as the winner. Fighting Billy was inclined to protest the ruling, but Irwin explained and Murray finally agreed. Murray, with his neck bandaged be cause of boils, took the blow that beat him in the first 20 seconds. Kruvosky whipped over his left, closed the sol dier's eye and after that it was easy. Danny Edwards, colored, beat Charlie Moy to the decision in four rounds. Curly Smith beat Frankie Denny o a decision. Soldier McCay won from Soldier Al McCoy. Soldier "Kid" Peters beat George Drew, colored. Joe Coffey vs. Al Walker was a draw. Danny Reese knocked out Billy Edwards in tLe first round.

Evidently the fight fans who attended Triday night's smoker and those who lid not attend are having a difficult time trying: to decide what is wrong with the newspapermen who wrote "up the results of the smoker. One of the fans sent the following note last night: - "Ftrri:r-i, Or, 10-5-'18. "Sporting Editor. The Oregonlan. "Dear sir: I am in quite a pickle at home with my 'wife. I told her I was going to the. fight. When I returned home last night -she asked me who won each fight. I told her and among the results I mentioned that Eromeo won a decision from Freddie Lough. My wife read the morning paper and it verified my statement. The Journal did likewise. The Telegram said Lough beat Bromeo and the paily News said the referee called it a draw. My wife later read the Telegram and saw where the bout was given to Lough. Then she borrowed the Daily News from a neighbor and saw where the bout ended in a draw. I am in bad, so please give me the right decision if you were wrong. TROUBLED HUSBAND." The decision of Referee Sax in the Bromeo-Lough fight was correct as given in The Oregonian And Journal. Bromeo was given the decision over Lough at the end of the sixth round. v Midgets Seek Games.

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal., Oct. 5. There is one California heavyweight Fat Larue by name who thinks Wil lie Meehan is overrated -and nowhere close to being a champion. Fat is an Oaklander by profession, and formerly boxed as an Olympic Club amateur. Then he went Info the ranks of the four-rounders until he decided there wasn't much money in seml-profes-sionalism, and finally he backed into Y. M. C. A. work at Camp Kearney. Recently, because he is within the new draft age, Larue has been returned4 to San Francisco, and will be held here pending developments as to whether he must ge into the Army. But Larue keeps an ear close to the ground on the score of what is what In the fight game, and he figures that he knows just where he stands when it comes to picking winners. "I figure this Meehan would De a soft one for me," he remarked. "I'd certainly like a crack at him. either in a benefit performance or otherwise. I've beat him bSfore, and I'm Jolly well certain that I could repeat." However, there's not much chance of anything happening in a hurry. Meehan. who was due to come to San Francisco last week to accept a week's engagement at the Hippodrome, changed his mind. The Pantaees people offered him 11 weeks of work, and as he was able to secure a furlough, he accepted. Kid McCoy was taken along to add tone as well as to box with Meehan. and the Phat Sailor is going to be away from, the Coast for a long, long time. Bobby Evans came through Fan Francisco the other day and told us all about his benefit show in Portland, and how much he owed the newspapers of that city. He carried with him the pro rata due Camp Fremont. Corporal Ardiss now has another scheme in mind. He would like to give a benefit programme at Camp Fremont with the understanding that the funds go to the other Army posts. Bobby admits that since Fremont received all of the $S2.000 from the Leonard benefit khow the other camps are somewhat sore and doesn't figure Fremont ought to share in the performances. So, ta get away from all that sort of chat. "Rpbby would like to give a Fre mont benefit, and he thinks tho money would Just. come rolling in. John B. Williams, representative of the War Department training camp ac tivittes fund commission, has virtually decided that the money from the Demp-sey-Meehan performance turned over to the Army will be distributed among the.. posts in this immediate vicinity Williams sent the check on to Wash ington, since he believes they can pur chase boxing glove and the like at more reasonable prices. Then he will find out from the athletic officers Just to re- there isn't what they are going to require, and when the goods arrive he will cut them up. The local promoters are feeling the quarantine of Goat Island against the Spanish influenza. There are a lot of perfectly good fighting machines bot tled up on the Island, including such boys as Frankie Karren. Jimmy Duffy s;ider Roach. Walter McDevitt and the like. They would fit in nlcelv with the programmes being staved at Dreamland rinU. and yet, until such lime as me authorities see fit lease tnent from bondage, a chance. That's one reason why the hurry-up call went out for K. o. Kruroskv, who boxed in Portland the other night, and then hastened back to San Francisco to take on Billy Murray. Some of the local football experts were rather hopeful, in view of the re ports tnat the military authorities would have the big say in foothall. ih.i California and Stanford might come together again. But the prospects at this wrltlno- far from cheerful. California has an nounced through the preSident of the student body that there will be foot ball. Stanford, however, has made no statement, and seems to be hniHinu hack until such time as the Army of ficer In charge shall decide whether there is time for football with all the drills and study hours. However, football Isn't likelv to he very important. No long trips will be permitted, and the collegians such of them as are left will have to be con tented with rather a poor substitute for the old thrllL The annual Dlpsea run that cross country race seven miles long and 1S00 reel up in tne air was run last Sun day. Maybe there wasn't the same wild enthusiasm tnat has marked other events of tne sort, but there certainly could be no complaint at the number of entries or the way the boys fin ished. i More than 100 entered. Just 85 started, and there were SO to finish. which is not at all a bad showing. Percy Gilbert, an Oakland Y. M. C. A. boy who has competed J-i cross-country races in Alameda County. lurned up the winner. Gilbert was given eight min utes and one-haif in the ' m ay of a handicap and finished strong. Ray Locke, a 0-'ear-old letter car rier, who was competing for his 10th annual time, ran sixth, which Is a re markable perform.iV.ee for a veteran, while Pete Uearhardt. an Olympic Club sprinter in the days gone by. well known in the Northwest, ran with the first 60. There was a lack In the general run of athletics about 1 years of ate, but tnere were youngsters and veterans enough to make it up to the crowd. Transportation Cnlt rights Hard Throughont Contest, but Could Not Cope AYlUi AVlnnlng Tactics of Opponents. The 105th and 10th Squadron eleven of the headquarters epruce division won their second game of the 1918 eeason on Multnomah Field yesterday after noon, when they defeated the I9th Squadron transportation unit of Van couver by a score of 37 to 0.

One of the Portland team allowed the ball to touch the ground on the kickout after the touchdown, so they were not allowed to kick for the goal. Hy Levin, the headquarters right end, was the shining light of the game, along with Sacksteder and Langrell. Soon after Sacksteder had made the touchdown in the second quarter. Levin intercepted pass and went 40 yards for a touchdown, but the score was not allowed as the umpire had called a foul on the ln&th and 106th Squadron for holding. The hoys wanted to battle for a while, but the trouble cleared and the -9th Squadron was again given the ball and the 105th and lu6th Squadron penalized. Tlie squabble over Levin's touchdown put some fighting spirit Into the Port land aggregation, and they plowed through the 29th Squadron line for yardage four times without a atop, and Fullback Chet Hoak went through cen ter for the third counting touchdown. The team failed to kick out and lost the chance for goal. Unlic Teasa PeaallaeaV Levin again sprang into prominence when he received a pass from Hoak and covered 35 yards before he waa downed.
