BOYCOTT PORTLAND GOODS"
DECLARES PRES. JOE COIN

III Portland desires so much to
break loose from affiliations with
the northwest, let the Portland
merchants 60 to California to sell
their goods" declared President
Joseph p. Cohn of the Indians this
morning upon returning from Sc
attic, where at a meeting between
Dugdale. Brown and Cohn last
night II was decided to drop Port
land from the Northwestern cir
cult
"A concerted movement is on
foot today in the northwest to
boycott Portland goods" declared
Cohn, land before we get through
with them they will realize that
they belong to the Pacific north
west, that their interests are our
interest, in baseball as well as
business, and that when they dc
sert the northwest, the section that
made Portland what it is today, to
take their place among the Cali
fornia cities, they made the worst
possible move.
Portland has treated the north
west shamefully in baseball for the
past few years, insulting North
western league players and using
their real friends in a way calcu-
lated to turn that friendship into
hatred.
I'VE will have nothing more to
do with Portland, either in base

Louis Orsie and Fred Creel, the
s. A. A. c.. boxers who furnished
one of the greatest amateur bouts

winters ago, have been matched to
furnish the excitement at the club

While Creel has advanced into
the boxing instructor class since
his fight with Orsie, the latter has
not been on the shelf by any
means, and is just as hard a nut to
crack as ever.
In addition to the Creel-Orsie set

Mr.. Bryan might be elected president

pointment of another Democrat to the
