termined Wednesday night at the recur
lar meeting of the local post of the
American Legion. Petitions have been
prepared and filed with the names of
100' taxpayers necessary for the secur-
ence of a commission.
Promotion of boxing bouts has been
undertaken by the members of the local
post of the American Legion as a means
for raising the funds necessary for the

be raised.

By Bob
JACK GRANTS resignation as match
maker of the Portland Boxing com
mission was accepted at a meeting of
the commission Thursday afternoon. No
action was taken on the appointment
of a successor to Grant. For the present.
Secretary Walter B. Honeyman, who is
too well known as an amateur sports
man . to need introduction, a charter
member of the commission and a man
who has always worked In the interest
of clean Doxing, will act with his fellow
commissioners In the matchmaking and
promotion of the next smoker.
This may be held on the date origin
ally set. March 24. and It may be post
poned until a suitable card Is assured.
Grant, it is understood, had practically
made agreements with certain boxers
for this smoker, and it is the desire of
the commission to carry these out as
far as it is possible.
Honeyman is going to try his hand
at matchmaking Saturday night, when
he, in company with . other prominent
members of the local lodge of Elks,
stage a series of boxing exhibitions at
The Auditorium for 600 Seattle Elks.
Billy Ryan will meet Karl Zimmerman,
one of Sky Pilot Zimmerman's fighting
demons : Johnny Trambitas. younger
brother of Valley and Alex, will tangle
with George Burns, the Alblna hope,
and Freddie Anderson, claimant of the
coast lightweight title and by many
considered the legitimate holder, will
swap wallops with Carl Martin. Each
of the fights will go three rounds. No
admission will be charged and the ex
hibitions are opened to Elks only.
Willie Meehan, San Francisco's phat
boy, and Hugh Walker, eastern giant,
who meet in the main event at Mil
waukie on St Patrick's day in the eve
ning, struck Portland sod Thursday.
Meehan did light work at Garbock's, and
Walker began training at the London
club Friday afternoon. Walker -has en
gaged Dick Du sen berry, the man who
trained McCormick, to condition him,
and Willie Meehan brought with him
big Charley Miller, the San Francisco
motorman who once chased Jess Willard
all over a ring.
Freddie Anderson has begun training
for his next start, but Is undecided yet
as to which one of the many offers that
have been made him he will accept.
He is considering three coast offers,
but it Is more than likely that Portland
will be given the first chance to see
him. Freddie hiked to Eastern Oregon
for a rest after his Benjamin fight, and
returned Thursday fat and sassy and
eager for another bout. Friends at Moro,
Or., gave him a great reception when
he appeared before them in a three'
round exhibition.

NEW YORK, March . (L N. S,)
Frankle Mason, the Fort Wayne
midget, will ge.t his chance at the world's
flyweight boxing title In Toledo -tonight
when he meets Jimmy? Wilde in a 12-
round bout. "
- As the contest will 1 a declstonlesa
affair the only way laaon can win the
championship will be vja the knockout
route, ' an assignment' . that appears
rather large for the Indiana boy.
Mason is a Combative little fellow
af willing mixer but his, punching power
is moderate and he is lacking as a fin
ished boxer when compared with ;the
"mighty atom" from England.
MASOIf 18 OLD ENOt'GH
Mason is 30 years of - age and has
been boxing 10 years.' A comparison
of his record with that of Wilde shows
that the Britisher has scored clean
knockouts over several American boxers
who held their own with Mason, among
them Zulu Kid and Johnny Rosner.
Though Wilde can win no great pres
tige by defeating Masqn, it is expected
that he will go after ai'i decisive victory
tonight. Mason Is the; claimant of the
American flyweight title, though he has
not gained general recognition as the
champion.
The Britisher, according to a con
census of opinion among boxing critics
here, should win handily. He Is boxing
In top form now and has become thor
oughly acclimated. f
