SEATTLE, March C Referee Adolph Schacht, who has a rep
utation stretching from Tia Juana to Ladysmith of giving all
Seattle boxers draws when they were soundly beaten by out
side boys, sprung a new one last night, when he gave Australian
' Mick King a four round decision over Portland Al Sommers.
The fans got on their hind legs and hooted. Schacht until he.
made his way out to the street and rolled away in an automobile.
While the fans have grown used to Schacht's draw. decisions, they

In the) second round King began
to do lot of fancy stuff in the

A huge crowd was on hand when

, field had received practically the
same endorsements that had pre
ceded Sullivan's meetings with Tug
- Wilson and Charley Mitchell. Sul
livan, as usual, was not fit, while
Greenfield had trained to the minute.
Greenfield was much smaller, than
Sullivan, with a loose sort of motion
" with his blows that typified him
more as a small boxer than as a
man boxing the heavyweight cham

put almost anyone down before the

had some success against Sullivan
had the bout been finished.
Greenfield Shifty Boxer
Greenfield was one of the first ex

In his favor, for one of Sullivan's

he couldn't make an Impression on
Sommers, who had him on the re
treat for the greater part of the
time.
Harry Anderson was unable to go
on In a return bout with Frankie
Tucker and Mike Pete substituted.
Mike had an edge on Frankie but
the melee was declared a draw.

and "Diamond Bobby" Evans, who
came over from Portland to wit

l.
terrible punches the decision would
go against him, but, not daunted in
the least, he kept doggedly after his
man, swishing out whenever the op
portunity offered with one of his
great blows.
Police Stop Bont
Greenfield's constant activity to
keep out of the way of the murder
ous fists, and his constant dancing
In and out tired him considerably,
and when hewent to the corner at
the end of tle first round he was
puffing hard. He came out, how
ever, for the second round, appar
ently still in good shape, and started
again on his whirlwind campaign.
He waded Into Sullivan with a
right-hand swing that landed be
hind Sullivan's left ear and cut the
skin. He followed this with a left
hand smash over the champion's
eye which cut the skin.
Friend Gets Match .
Then Sullivan went after his man
in earnest. Catching up with him,
he stood and banged away at the
Englishman, who refused to break
ground, but stood and hammered
back. They were in the midst of a
furious session of slugging when a
squad of police entered the house,
climbed into the ring, and stopped
the milling. Sullivan and Green
field were both charged with prize
fighting and placed under arrest,
but at a trial both were discharged.
Domlnick McCaffery, a man Sul
livan had always claimed for a
friend, began then to clamor for a
chance at Sullivan. He claimed Sul
livan had mistreated him. He was
finally obliged through thet failure
of another man to take a match
offered in Ohio.

BILLY STEPP SAYS BATTERY IS IN PINK OF COND1SH '"
Laugh When the Batter Gets Beaned
Napeon Lajoie Never Learned
to Play the Game Among
Forbears of La Patrie.
Spring training "Somewhere in
France" has started. So writes William
Steppj former star outfielder of the
Portland Intercity baseball league, who
is with the 137th field artillery of the
American expeditionary force.
. In his letter, which was written
February 7, Stepp says : "We have
already started our spring training and
bave a game Sunday with the Regs. We
are a 2 to 1 cinch to bombard them, as
Gunner Schroeder is in the pink already
and, as for the rest, we are in great
shape. If I can get around to it, I
might cable the score.'
Frenchies Take to Game ,
"We have to teach the fans the game,
but they are taking to the dear old na
tional sport in great style. Last Sunday
about COO watched our game and they
asked about every play. You have got
to have a French book with you if you
want to carry on a line of Jingo as they
all don't know Oregon language. A few
can speak English and they explain the
game to the others.
"They think it is great when a fellow
elides to a base or throws a wild one,
but when you make a one-handed catch
they do not see that. Miss one a mile
or get hit on the head and they go wild.
Jfapw Unknown to Them
"I don't think Lajoie learned to play
over there, as they don't know what we
wear those "big things" on our hands
for, and why we should run so hard
when we only hit one to the infield and
not run when . we hit one a mile to an
outfield and he catches it.

the physicist of Johns Hopkins uni

the racing pigeon's
ability to withstand shell shock on

"It Is cnrlons," he stated, "that

effective In carrying messages from
the front line. I heard a remarkable
story about one of these pigeon. It

desperately wounded, the bird flew

Members of the signal corps carry
birds with them to the front trenches
In baskets swung over their shoul
ders. ' When their communications
are est off by shell fire, as quite
froqnently happens, the birds are
used as a last resort to snmmon
help. ' These pigeons seem Immune
from shell shock, which disables so
many men and horses, and In this
respect compare favorably with the
Iron nerved army mule. A pigeon
will make a flight of 46 miles in less
than an hour, and at the front they
are being trained to fly at night, a
feat which fanciers have long
despaired of accomplishing. ,

TH E West may be justly proud of its oversubscriptioi
to the Liberty Bond issues, of its ready answer to the
appeal of the Red Cross and Y. M. C. A. for funds. Most

Walter V. Woehlke, author of the stirring article in
January Sunset, "The Bolsheviki of the West," which

it.
