BILLY GEORGE ALL
THE WAY THROUGH
Portland Welterweight
Takes Midvale "Bearcat"
Into Camp in Ring Battle
Fast Preliminaries.

While he lasted the 10 rounds, Billy
George was Il groggy boy when Cor
don Mckay finished with him in the
main go of Nick Collins athletic pro-
gram at the Pinney theater Thursday
night. Mckay was master of the ring
and his opponent from start to finish.
Only Georges ability to take punishS
ment kept him inside of the ropes. The
Portland welterWeight raped the
Midvale "Bearcat" at will. The pun
ishment started in the initial round
when Mckay jolted George with right
to the chin. In the fourth he dropped
him for the count of nine, and only the
gong saved George.
From then on to the finish it was
Just a question of how long George
would stay and of how severe the pun
ishment would be that Mckay would
hand out. George, it must be conceded,
was game if not clever. He was stand
ing on his feet when the final bell rang,
which is saying much. Mckay seemed
none the worse for the encounter. Nc
Kay showed more ring generalship
Thursday night than in any previous
appearance here He followed whirl-
wind tactics and never allowed George
an opening to get at him. Fans were
greatly pleased with the clean manner
in which both boys boxed and while
conceding Mckay to be the better of
the two, cannot help but praise George
for the game manner in which he took

Counter Coming
UNITED PRESS SUMMARY


The bombardment reported in
dispatch from Henry Wood covers
every inch of the German posi-
tons and the rear areas for miles
back OF their lines.
Prisoners say that the cannon
aiding has caused heavy German
casualties and has prevented the
enemy from digging In.
The points Of the farthest Ger
man pentration in Picardy are in
cluded in this bombardment. 1t
also includes the greater part OF
the southern leg of the linden
burg triangle in this region-be-
lieved by many military critics to
represent the most vulnerable
part OF the German advance.
The next few hours are expect
ed to reveal whether this cannon
aiding is preparatory to a major
counter offensive by the allies.
On the Flanders front Haig
claims to be holding his own.

man losses in the fighting around

TO CHOP
SERVICE
in WEST

WASHINGTON, ID. c., April
18.-Director General McAdoo is
about to clip 100000 miles a
month from the total mileage
travelled by passenger trains west
of the Mississippi river.
Details of the remodeled train
schedules are practically COM
plete and an official announce
ment of the change is expected
within 10 days.
The revolutionary change will
release scores of locomotives for
hauling war necessities and will
place passenger service on a
strictly war basis.
One train practically will be
doing the work of two, 1t was
said.
Constant calls for speed n
handling materials needed in the
prosecution of the war has forced
the transportation of passengers
to be given secondary considera-
ton. Recent elimination OF
"superfluous trains east of the
Mississippi river has provided a
basis for the Encouragement OF
train schedules In other sections.
The plan is expected to affect
the entire west.
Transcontinental trains will not
be permitted to carry half
filled coaches. And they will
make more stops, since contem-
plated changes will eliminate nu-
merous local trains. The number
of trains from coast to coast will
be fewer.
The North" routes to the Pa
cific coast are regarded by Off
Gals as having the highest per-
centage of "superfluous" trains I;
therefore fewer trains. especially
between Chicago and st. Paul, is
certain to be the rule.
Yesterday it was announced
that to improve facilities in the
congested east, McAdoo would
construct and put into operation
| a line of barges on the Erie canal.

Then down again at another
trench for 10 seconds, and again
we would see the Fritzes falling
headlong over each other in a
wild scramble for dugouts and
bombrroofs.
From one end of the German
trenches to the other, on our Sec

Helping POilus.
Often we were no higher from
the earth than the top of the
Woolworth building. Below that
height was dangerous. We would
then be in the trajectory OF shells
from German big guns, and also
within range of thousands of hos
tile rifles.

to write at the bottom of our re-

Everything today is done in for

However, one morning before
setting out for a reconnaissance
over the town of Laon, Capt.
Iamy, in charge Of our patrol, told
us that il on the way home he
should leave us, we were not to

There has been only one death since

was due to pneumonia, which follow
