The first game gets under way at 8:15. Len Allison of the University of Washington will referee. The MacDougall-Southwick squad is one of the strongest teams in the league. Jack Davidson will hold down one of the forward posts and Botts the other. Davidson i one of the best cage players ever turned out at the lt ni- versity of Washington and has lost none of his skill at tossing field goals and converting fouls. He should prove one of the leading scorers in the circuit.

THERES Billy Wright Wins Five Out of Six Rounds From Davis and “Shades” Everett Boy Just Like Yanks Did the Huns at Chateau Thierry; Mike Pete-Starts Off Like a Whirlwind and Ends Up Much Disgusted Breeze; Harrahan Shades Wing; Jack- son Makes Joyce Look Like Rug, and Soldier Woods Wages War on Brooks BY LEO H. LASSEN Billy Wright, Seattle welter, outboxed, outgeneraled and outfought Travie Davis, Coast welter king, in five out of six rounds at the Crystal Pool last night and won back the Coast title which he held last winter from the Everett boy. It was a fast bat- stle all of the way, but Billy was by far the better man last night. He stuck his left hand in Davis’ rfose so many times that if a box score had been kept it would have looked like the total of a bowlers’ tally at the end of a busy season. Attorney George Olsen, Who acted as one of the judges, called the bout a draw George may be a good lawyer and all that, but he’ must have worked overtime at the law business or Dame Justice hit him in _ the eyes with a couple of law books or something during the afternoon because if Billy didn’t win that fight by a mile then Ty Cobb doesn’t know what a base hit looks like. Jim Pursely, the other judge, and Ad Schacht, the referee, gave the fight to Wright. Oisen and Pursely have become too much of a fixture as judges at the Pool bouts. Let’s mix ‘em up a little more. Give some of the other ring critics a chance to show their wares. A rest will do George and Jim some good. It can’t hurt ‘em anyway. xy Po eee Coffroth to Victoria Ice — wtarted off right. copping Da renee - Billy via time and time again on the nose Connie Mack Is Dropping Vets a In the ne d chapter L . ed . unddiiie ) : .
