ATHLETES WILL TAKE PART HERE The result of the inter club meet at Seattle Athletic club, between the boxers of Multnomah, Seattle and Ballard clubs, Is particularly Interest ing as giving a line on the ability of the representatives of these clubs who will appear at the local meet at the Oregon theater September 27 and 28. Morrow's defeat of Metbus of Mult nomah is a reversal of the result of the first fight, when Melbus knocked Morrow out in three rounds at the X. A. tournament -last spring at Seattle. The Seattle club man's friends have always claimed a fluke knockout, and ust night's win by Morrow seems to sustain that belief, although Morrow- only secured a decision after four rounds of slugging as against a clean win by Melbus last spring. The meeting at Pendleton is the third affair between these two boxers and each one will exert his best ef forts to make the result decisive. This settles the 175 pound northwest amateur championship. Duval's hard battle against Knowl- ton, losing on a hairline decision, will also be settled when they meet at the local auditorrum. These boys will contest in a four cornered meet, all clubs having entries. The win ners of the first night will be pitted against each other In the finals. Ed Williams, the local boxer, rep resents Pendleton In the 135 pound class and should he be returnned a winner he will hold the undisputed 135 pound championship of the Pa cific northwest. The P. A. A. C. boxers are working out with Dudley Evans and Fred Sax every evening from 7:30 to 9:30 at the P. A. A. club rooms. Stanley Trimble of the Ballard, Wash., club, w ill wear P. A. A. colors in the 115 pound class. Stanley is a verv clever boy. From the West Side club of New York comes a 135 pound amateur boxer, a pupil of George McFadden. He was tried out last night by both Sax and Evans and will probably be accepted to wear P. A. A. C. colors at the meet. Fast and furious boxing is the or der at the club these nights and Dud ley Evans promises some surprises to the entrees from the three big clubs when It comes to the finals. Spokane A. A. C. Is sending a heavyweight wrestler for Aubrey Graham, and while ho does not quite weigh up to the local boy, Bullivant the Spokane director, says that he will be a good match for Graham as his entry Is an expert wrestler, Graham has Just returned from a trip to Portland where he had a few bouts with some of the big crack wrestlers and Is feeling happy over the prospect of having secured an op ponent.
