; .i:-' 1 .1 5t ,
In order to show his . skill in tha
squared circle against Jimmy Puffy,
featherweight of Oakland, Kddl Campl,
former contender for the worm s Ban
tamweight title, lias paused up a
chance to go to New York, where
George Kngle has a number of eon
testa lined up for h!m.
Campl believes that he Is Johnson's
master, and Is willing to meet the col
ored mitt-wlelder in a six-round con
test here or "before the Vancouver.
Wash., Athletic club In a 10-round con
"test. Campl showed great speed
against Johnson last week, and he fig
ures that he had a shade the better of
Ihe milling, as he landed over twice as
many punches as Johnson..
Wallace, Idaho, promoters are anx
lotJB to stage a bout between Sanders
and Campl, and It may be that these
two boys will be matched to appear
there some time next month.
The San Kranclsco lad is in earnest
about meeting Jimmy Duffy, and in
case Duffy beats Sanders, it Is prob
able that' a match between Campl and
Duffy will be the main event of th
next Western club card.
Campl may try to secure matches be
fore one of the Seattle clubs, with
some of the cracks of that section of
the northwest.
Ralph Gruman, who returned recent- !
ly from New York, has the boxing bug
again. He has Btarted to do a lot of
'' boxing In ' view of meeting Mf
Bronson, Lloyd Madden, Archie Wyard,
Eddie Pinkham. or any other light
weight In the northwest. Gruman now
tip the scales at 148 pounds, and he
thinks he can get down to the light
weight limit without jiny trouble.
Al Sommers, the local middleweight.
wHo has been showing up In great
tye-durJngLtfee last six weeks, will b
featured in a smoker to be staged in
the Rose City club March 23. Last
Tuesday night Sommefs beat Jack Tor

third victory in the last 30 days. Bob
by Evans, Sommers' manager, has re-
- ceived a number 6 offers for bouts,

Baker. Of.. March 10 The baseball
bee liaw started to buzz in Bakeral
ready and Manager Caldwell of the
Baker Electrics Is preparing to get his
men to working out in the Y. M. C. A.
gymnasium. The Electrics, a fast, semi
pro aggregation, havs represented
Baker for the past two seasons on the
diamond and have furnished a good
brand of ball for the fans. La Grande,
Union, Elgin, Sumpter, Huntington,
Weiser and Prairie City had good ama
teur and professional teams the past
two seasons und there is no lack of op
ponents. There is a plan on foot to
extend the Snake River league, which
circuit comprises Ontario, Vale, Wei
ser and Payette to include Baker and
Huntington, with a six club circuit and
meeting between representatives of
. the towns may be held oon to discuss
the situation. Two years ago a league
.composed of J.. Grande, Elgin. TJ.nlon
and Baker furnished a good close race,
which with the local Twilight league
of six clubs gave the fans plenty of
amusement. The Twilight league is a
permanent Institution and will be con
tinued as usual this season.
Two newcomers in the local fistic
circles Frankie Sanders of Elizabeth.
N. J., and Eddie Miller of San Fran
cisco will face local favorites in the
double main event smoker of the
Western Athletic club to be stagpd
Tuesday night in the Ro&e City club
gymnasium.
Sanders will appear against Jimmy
Duffy, the sensational bantamweight
of Oakland, who has made a distinct
hit with the Portland fans during the
few times that he has boxed, while
Billy Nelson will be Miller's opponent.
i Miller, who has credit of victories over
Willie Jackson and a number of other
top-notehers around San Francisco, is
anxious to get a crack at Muff Bron
son and he will be In line for a bout
with Joe Flanigan's protege, provided
he gets by Nelson, who has been show
ing up in great form during the past
several weeks.
Frank Kendall will get another op-1
portunity to regain his lost reputation
when he faces Jack Clifford, the big
heavyweight, who boxed a draw with
"Pinkey" Lewis last week. .Kendall has
been keeping in trim for some time in
view of getting a bout and he appears
to be ready to stage a "come-back."
The other bouts on the card will
bring together Peter Mitchie and
Tommy Clark In the lightweight di
vision. Hung Low and Frankie Warren
in the 130-pound class, and Sammy
Bloom and Ray Leonard. Low Is a
Chinese boxer, who is anxious to show
his skill in the nquared circle.
Manager George Phllbrook of the
Multnomah Amateur Athletic rlub.
believes that this year's squad will be
the best balanced aggregation that has
ever represented the "Winged M."
With such stars as Walter Hum
met, national junior and senior cham
pion in the 440-yard hurdles; Sam Bel-
lah. ex-national pole vault champion
James Lockhart. former Idaho sprint
er; Walter Mulrhead, Ray Staub and
Floyd Payne, former University of
Oregon point winners; Wallace Kad
derly, ex-Oregon Aggie quarter miler;
Dick Grant, II. A. Hahn, former
Michigan , sprinter, and a host of
other promising performers in vari
ous events, Phllbrook believes he can
turn out a team that will capture
the northwest championship, as well
as the indoor meet to be staged at
Columbia university April 14
Ew Started Training.
The club men .have been working
out indoors for the past two weeks
and next week will start working ou

past week, workmen have been en
gaged in putting the indoor track in
shape. i
A number of the veteran club stars
will take a -hand in the coaching of
the youngsters who have signed up
for the club team. Phllbrook, who
held the northwest fllscus record fo
a number of years, will coach the
weight men, while Sam Bellah will
lend a hand in the pole vaulting and
jumping events. Dr. Leslie Clough
will coach the sprinters.
.Among the promising athletes turn
ing out are Ralph Spearow, holder o
the local lnterscholastic pole vaulter

considered from & military aspect. The
conception of the average citizen as

of view means that we build and equip
a large number of ships for our navy;
that we manufacture and store am
munition, uniforms, guns and other
equipment of a modern type such as
may be necessary in the event of hos
tilities. You will note that the queKJion of
who is to man the ships, 'wear the
uniforms, carry the guns and use the
ammunition, is either overlooked or
sidestepped to a degree which would
lead us to thiak that a state of apathy
exists regaruing our personal ou y a?

The first requisite to military serv

fitness. The percentage of our mule
population who are physic-ally eligible
for military service is not large. Now,
let us note another Important fact in
this connection: Suppose a man to be
physically able to pass the examina

authorities, he has only taken the first
step. Without training, his efficiency
from a military standpoint would be
of a very low degree.
