Moose Johnson's Brilliant
Play Won ItGotch Match
and Other Sports
Portland, Or., Feb. 19. Portland is
1918 champion of the Tacific Coast I
hockey league today by virtue of a
four to one victory over the Victoria '
Orphans last night.'
While 3500 howling fans added to1
the excitement "Moose" Johnson in
the second period zig ragged down the
ice through a field infeited with the
enemy- and single handed shot the goal
that broke tho one to one deadlock and
decided the championship for Portland.
Thereafter, in spite of the super
human efforts of Manager Patrick of
the Victoria team, Portland scored two
more goals in quick succession, but they
werei not needed in the championship
race.
The biggest factor in Portland's pen
nant grabbing feat last night was the
Seattle team, which walloped Vancouv
er, thereby eliminating the Rosebuds'
nearest competitor.
At the conclusion of the game Man
ager Tatrick of Victoria threw his
stick into the crowd as a souvenir. It
struck a woman on the head, raising a
huge bump. Patrick apologized pro
fusely, but the lady was mollified by
the presentation of the Btick,

Seattle Trimmed Vancouver.
Vancouver, B. C, Feb. 19. The Seat

final appearance here last night, of the
season, by trimming the locals four to

Harry Homes, the Seattle goal tend

game.
Was Trying to Incite
Rebellion In India
Aberdeen, Wash., Feb. 19. Plots to
incite rebellion in India have been un
covered which point toward the
schooner Annie Larsen, now in the
hands of the federal authorities, as
playing a principal role, according to
Port Surgeon R. F. Hunter.
Loaded with munitions, she was to
have met the steamship Maverick,
owned by Captain Jebsen, at Johnson's
island in the South Pacific and loaded
her cargo of rifles and munitions ob
tained at San Pedro on the Maverick,
according to Hunter's information.
Word to this effect, he says, has
come to this country through British
officials since Sidmond Hay Abbass
and his son Oswaldj in charge of the
Maverick, were convicted for conspir
ing to incite rebellion at Shanghai,
China.
The Maverick and the Annie Larsen
were kept apart by storms,. Hunter de

to put in at a Mexican port where her
cargo was seized, nlie was men escort

Clean Boxing Bouts
Guarantee Success
Of Future Smokers
Last night's smoker at Ryan's hall
showed the best series of boxing con
tests by a wide margin that have ever
been pulled off in Salem. Tho events
were called without delay and for two
hours the ringside fans were entertain
ed with an exhibition of the fistic art
that left little to be desired. The bouts
were, clean and scientific and, best of
all, were "on the level." From the
tap of the gong for the first prelimi
nary to the final bell for the main event I
the boys put up their best efforts and!
the Salem fans showed their apprecia
tion by liberal appluuse. As long as the
promoter, Bobby Kvans, continues to se-1
cure high class boys for his card there
is no doubt but that the fans will sup-'
port him.
The main event was between Al Som
mers and Frank Pnrslow, who claims
the welterweight championship of the
Northwest. Pnrslow is the faster box
er of the two and is known far and
wide as a mighty hard mnn to hit but
Sommers was after him all of the time
in his best two handed manner and
rushed Parslow to tho ropes with fre
quency. No decision was rendered in this bout
but if Referee Ed Tracy had given
one he would doubtless have raised the
heavy hand of Sommers on account of
his better condition at the end of the
bout and aggressiveness throughout the
contest.
Billy Mascott, who was introduced
as champion featherweight of the
Northwest, and a contender for the
world's honors, convinced the crowd
that he was entitled to the praise that
has followed him to this city from
Portland. Billy Is a speed demon and
a hard hitter and had he been matched
with a boxer of his own type the fans
would have been treated to a rare go.
As it was Ping Bodie waded in with
both hands swinging and a haymaker
in either glove. Ping is not a clever
boxer but lie is a dangerous customer in

beaten in the fourth round of the con
test and Referee Tracy was on the
verge of stopping it but the crowd yell
ed for more Jind since Bodie was in no
distress the bout proceeded two rounds
more during which Mascott easily duck
ed Bodie 's wild swings and came back
with lightning rights and lefts in re
turn. Eddie Murphy, of San Francisco, and
Donnie Derbyshire, two welters, went
on as substitutes for Boatright and
Rockey Williams, who declined to ap
pear through fear that they would be
professionalized. Their fears were
groundless, however, as no money is giv
en for preliminaries and the boxers
are only allowed traiuing and travel

strated his superiority over Derbyshire,
hitting cleanly and chasing Derbyshire
about the ring for, four rounds.
