Mascott Annexes New
Title from Canada's
Champion Bantam
Billy Mascott won all of the way
from Charlie Davidson it the smoker
last, night on his aggressiveness as the
Seattle youth crowled into a crouch like
a turtle into a shell and refused to come
out.' .He did stick his nose out once
and Billy hit it and then he crawled
back iii again and waited for a thun
der shower. Davidson was not hurt to
any extent but he did not put up the
game fight that Jockey Bennett did in
: the last smoker. Davidson is a tough
(youngster and might go well over the
..mi a k .a n;in.1 In .hnw fl.O
speed and hitting power that make the;
eignt round goes jspuiar.
The first round was about even with
Davidson covering well and Billy peck
ing around on the outside and Davison
was-given credit for caution. He car
ried his caution into the second round
and this was a repetition of the first
except that Mascott had a darker shade
in this round. Davidson weathered sev
eral storms of rights and left jabs in
the next two rounds and always came
back smiling but refused to lead. In the
fifth round Davidson led out and they
flew into a furious mix with both wil
ling mixers and for a minute the crowd
yelled like Villistas but outside of a
few ' similar flashes the Seattle youth
was satisfied to block. He always
had a haymaker on tap but none of his
vicious swings were able to land on the
shifty Mascott.
The semi-windup between Art Wil
son and AI Sommers was a slam bang
affair that went seven rounds before
Sommers stopped Wilson who was bang
ing on the ropes with his lighter oppon
ent on top of him and both hands work

SCENE FROM DIMPLES
The next release on the Metro pro
grain will be "Dimples," a five act
feature in which little Mary Miles Min-
ter, the charming and vivacious young
artcess is seen in the stellar role. This
production was made by the Columbia
Pictures Corporation for Metro, and
will be seen here at the Ye Liberty on
Sunday and Monday. Miss Minter is
supported by an unusually strong cast,
including Thomas J. C'arrigan, her new
leading man; Peggy Hopkins, William
Cowper, Charlotte Shelby, Ferd Tid
marsh, Harry Ford, William Rausher,
Schuyler Ladd, John I. Donough, ami
Mae Do Metz.
The story is an exceedingly interest
ing one and was adapted for the screen
especially for Miss Minter, by Harry
0. Hoyt, the foremost scenario writer in
America, from tho storv bv Mary
Louise Downing.
Now Located at
iaisser Eros.
OUTFITTERS OF SPORTSMEN
Better Prepared Than Ever
ing like piston rods. Wilson weighed
in at about 190 while Sommers t'ppe"d
the beam at 103. Wilson took the bout
on a minute's notice with no special
training and "ut up a game fight but
Sommers outboxed him and stepped
away from his haymakers. They were
real liavmakers too and if one of them
had landed on Sommer's jaw it would
have' been curtains. ' However, Al
showed hiself to be cool under fire and
he came out of the mixes in good shape
and forced the big man to the ropes
time and again. This was a lively
fracas and the crowd witnessed the best
match that Sommers has boxed in this
city. This was the first time that he
has met a man here who would comiout
anil exchange wallops with him and the
result was all that could be desired.
Herb Savage boxed eight rounds with
Folly Jones,, of Portland, as a prelim
inary. Jones was the better hitter and
had far more ring experience but Sav
age kept coming in for more and did his
best which is all than can be expected.
Savage is above the average of the lo
cal boys as a boxer but when matched
with an experienced mit artist the ad
vantage of actual ring experience shows
up. Savaee is willing and a hard work
er and with more training will be able
to give an argument to some good
boys.
The crowd was small at the Bmoker
last night and Manager Bobby Evans
has not decided whether he will at
tempt ,to put on any more smokers or
not but today he is of the opinion that
the support in this city will not justify
the expenditure of any more money to
bring boxers to this city to meet Som
mers or Mascott.

Long Tom Hughes, former Washing

has been signed by the Salt. Lake City
club of the Coast league.
Sam Agnew, catcher with the Red
Sox, realizing the responsibilities put
on him this year, asked consent to go
to Hot Springs early to get in condition
and was the first of Carrigan's crew to
report.
Russell Blackburne, the Chicago
White Sox infielder transferred to To

Eddio.
Bill Sweeney, old-time ball player,
now Boston insurance agent, "wrote

said his premiums amount to several
times the salary of even a war-time

Cobb refused flattering offers to desert

Ruckor has been boiling out with Mey

Henry Waecker, one of John Me
Graw's pitching recruits, is so confi
dent he will make good that he has giv
en up his studies at Dartmouth col
lege, where ho was in his sophomore
year, to go to the Mnrlin training
camp.
. Another player who has learned that
tho game can go along without him is
Pitcher George Baumgardner of the St.
Louis Browns. He was suspended and
sent home last year because he would
not keep in shape. A season of idleness
brought him to time and he is now one
of the most enthusiastic workers in the
camp of the Browns nt Pnlestine. Bourn
gardner is the player Colonel Hedges
used to pay off in one-dollar bills to
make him think he drew more money
than any other man on the team.

tle. The sale of the lower price seats
those costing $3 and $5 will not begin

with his training work and he went
through 'several stunts.
Murray an Easy Winner.

verton's Seals will get their first real
tryout this afternoon when they clash

The Missionites have been play'ng a
remarkably strong game this spring and
it would cnuse no surprise should they
swamp the only half-trained Seals.

slab yesterday wag not impressing,
largely because' the old boy suffered
from a fit of "nerves" during which
he allowed five hits in two innings.

former national champion Muurico Mc
Lougiilin and Thomas Bundy. Decision
on the question whether to declare the
famous racqueters professionals be
cause they- have opened a sporting
goods store in Los Angeles, will un
doubtedly be postponed.

Long, Long Way to Jess9
Jaw Is Tip io Frank Moran
New York, Mar. 18. Towering five
inches above his huge adversary and
possessing a reach five and ono-half
inches longer, Jess Willard has two of
the great defensive works known to
boxing thrown up around his precious
jaw bone. If Frank Moran, a compara
tive midget, is to hang flowers and ivy
on Willard 's nether maxillary he will
have to fairly leap in the air. Six feet
seven inches is the altitude of Big
Jess. Moron's red thatch stands a
mere six feet one inch above the cal
loused soles of iiis battleship feet. And
before he gets near enough to start avi
ating toward Willard 's classic features
the boy from Pittsburgh must wade
through a mass of arms S.'l l inches
long. He works under a handicap ri'ht
there, for his own arms ire only 7i
inches long, a right respectable pmr of
flails in ordinary circles but puny out
erwoiks in Willard 's gigantic company.
One of .Moran 's favorite modes of bat
tle bespeaks the crnt't. of the former
globe trotter. His watchers have found
that Moran likes to work his man into
a crouching attitude, draw down his
arms with a poke nt the body and tiien

that Great Falls had finally landed a
berth in the Northwestern league was
received here with joy today in local
baseball circles.
"I nin glad that the league circuit is
completed and that we can now get
down to work," said I. K. Dngdiile,
president of the Seattle club. He also
stated that the addition of Great I' tils
ami Butte should prove just what was

al disposition, too, nny stand Willard
in good stead in the teventy-th' UMind
dollar skit, for he is not a belliiterent
type, preferring to let the other fellow
ram his face against the outstretched
Willard mitts. Muinn's two knockouts
over Jim Coffey demonstrated his
punching ability more decisively than
any of his other performance. True,
there are those wli.o suspect the tint of
the Corkoni in 's vertebiae but none
who saw the jolts go home had any lin
gering doubts of the drive tlint impell
ed them. In the second fiht Moran
swept over his right with the force of
a mule's hind tootsie. Hight away the
IicIIh began to tinkle in ('offey's steeple
nn. he remained away picking daisies
for a considerable period of time. Those
who know fighting and fighters rec ill
the fnte of little Tommy Hums, per
haps the hoariet bit of irosr that ever
clung to the championship landscape.
He went av'ain-t Jack .Iwm-'iu under
n similar handimp and like 1'ajnting
Berth I, never had a bun. e. Hums
was "t feet 7 inches tall and .lolni'-on's
height was six feet, one tourth of an
inch. Ilespiic the difference in height.
Hums had it on the glnomy evile in
reach. His amis weic 7t l- inches
long and .loiiuon's only 7't. .lolni'-on
weigher 2-0 and Hums 170 in that
fight, but Moran has proved that,
weights don't amount to much when
fighters get above the ITf) pound mark.
As Willard neighs almi:t .17 pound
more than Moran, perhaps it is j.isi
as well for the challenger to stick to his
contention.
