Portland's baseball athletes did a little road work on soft-boiled eggs and finecut yesterday and gained enough strength to wander out to the ball yard and trim Sacramento in the Initial game of the series. C to 0. It was a case of Southpaw Sam Ross against Kenneth Fenner, and Ross demonstrated a marked superiority, both with his tee shots and his short approaches. Ross held the visitor to five hits that were scattered fairly well throughout the afternoon. There was only a small crowd of filet of sole in the capacious stands built for 15.000. The throng reminded one of a plate of caviar on a banquet table. Apparently folk don't get much excited nowadays about a booby championship. Some of the filet showed symptoms of being alive, for there was considerable handclapping when Buddy Ryan appeared for his -llrst time at bat. Old Man Ryan Active. Buddy looks lighter and in finer condition than when he played here in the steam beer days of a couple of decades ago. His knee joints are oaid to be full of mice, but he seemed to be able to wobble them a bit yes terday. Bud's contribution was one hit. One of Portland's five runs yester day was scored In the second Inning on a walk to Schaller. an infield out and Klngdon's hit to left. This 1-0 augment continued until the sixth, when the Beavers sent three scurry ing across the plate. Blue's walk, a single by Malsel, Cox's sacrifice and a. double to right by Schaller account ed for the first two. Schaller crossed on Koehler'a single to right. Perle Casey presented the Beavers with the fifth and final run by fall ing to note that Sam Ross almost spiked the second baseman running from home to first base in the eighth inning. Penner didn't have so much as a fly speck at which to throw. His toss hit Sam on the shoulder and caromed off into right field. Ross wound up at second and scored on Blue's single to right. Rodgers Gets Oyster Glands. -Raw Meat" Bill Rodgers has Just been Inoculated with oyster glands. Evidently the operation was a suc cess, for Bill never even so much as mewed at the ump, whereas in the old days the Sacramento manager would have been out there trying to commit mayhem. Pitcher Sylvester Johnson joined the Beavers yesterday and will work in one game this week. Outfielder Barnabe also will be given a chance in right field. Gatewood was turned back to Spokane yesterday. A young pitcher from Yakima, Valencia, warmed up for the Beavers in his first appearance here. Valencia comes from the California orange belt, but wasn't Quite ripe when he tried out with Los Angeles last year. Score: .

It's all very well to give a donation party to Jack Dempsey and Gunboat Smith, but it's hard to conceive of any community barring, perhaps, New York and its transients, who will go to almost anything falling for such a match as has Deen pro posed. .Miske with ' Dempsey was bad enough, but in Miske there was a semblance of youth and tna open question as to what the 12 months of ring Idleness had done lor tne champion. But Gunboat Smith! Words fail in an appreciation of such a match. If Dempsey was a B-to 1 shot over the St. Paul heavy, he ought to be I00-to-l on the Gunner. Three years ago the Gunner took on Dempsey, Just about to hit hla stride. Smith proved in the course of the fight that Dempsey could stand a punch, for the Gunner land ed a right flush to the jaw. Jack started to Bag, pulled himself to gether and won the fight. A year later the same pair met and Smith retired via the knockout route in two rounds. In the course of the last two years the Gooner has bobbed up and down, winning here and losing there. Fred Fulton quite recently stopped Smith in a round in the northwest. So, by nc stretch of the Imagina tlon could Smith be called healthy exercise for Dempsey. It's merely "an awful fight. The match hasn't been clinched yet and perhaps some providence will prevent. But if the bout Is signed, the fans will be forewarned. . Tex Rickard may not stage the Dempsey-Carpentier flghU Just be fore Carpentier sailed for America few days ago his manager, Francois Descamps, cabled that Jack Curley will be authorized to make what ever matches Carpentier goes Into In America. The same cablegram contained the statement that Charles Cochran, th London promoter. will have no strings on Carpentier insofar as any matches in America are concerned. Curley, it is understood, wants to stage the Dempsey-Carpentier match at Ebbett field In Brooklyn. But Rickard will be a bidder. One may gamble on that. And Jack Kearns will do some thinking be fore he lets Curley go through with his Brooklyn plan. After the first meeting of the New York state boxing and license com mission appointed by Governor Smith It developed that not a single club, promoter, referee or matchmaker had as yet officially applied for a license This announcement could scarcely be believed, but it was a fact. Bouts have been advertised for va rious titles, dates set and fabulous purses arranged. Ambitious press agents had announced that big fights had been posted by the contestants. Now it develops that not a single one of these prospective shows were authorized. The state boxing and license commission must have its in nings first. Its apparent tardiness has been at tacked by those who stood ready to collect as soon as the gates were swung open. The commission will pay no attention to these snarls.' The bark is worse than the bite. - The commission is determined that New York shall not be the dumping ground of a lot of fly-toy-nlght pro moters. Men whose chief recom mendation is for separating the pub lic from Its money by digging up de crepit retired pugilists and through a press" agent restoring- them to all the vigor of their palmy days. The restoration failed when the actual contest was over. But the public paid, and paid well, to wit ness the fiasco. m m y "Snowy Baker, who Is now In San Francisco, is not likely to meet with a ready response when he talks with Jack Kearns about taking Jack IT HAPPENS IN THE BEST REGULATED LAKES. v?

To begin with, there's not a good man In Australia for Dempsey to fight- And then again, there's the likeli hood that KearnS has not forgotten tne roastings-he received in the Aus tralian papers when he visited that country with Billy Murray and one or two other boxers. Kearns, If we remember correctly, was told In plain language in the pa pers that he need never return to Australia. Later, when Lea Darcy came to America, Kearns was again roasted by the Australian papers, some of whom maintained that if It had not been for Reams and his "smooth talk" Darcy would have remained at home and not gotten in the mess he did. Kearns Is not a fellow who forgets very readily.

T RMS IN TILLMAN BOUT Local Boxer Proves Worth Against Minneapolis Boy. BOTH BATTLERS GO DOWN Herman-Blue Draw; Zimmerman Loses and Young Dempsey Takes First Bout. BY DICK SHARP. Bring on Harvey Thorpe and Jack Britton. Alex Trambitas only got a draw against Johnny Tillman of Min neapolis in the main event of laBt night's fistic card at the Milwaukte arena, but he made a good enough showing to prove to the several thousand fans gathered that, he can stand the gaff against about anybody around his weight. Referee Tom Loutlt's decision In the main tangle was about all the bout could be called. Tillman proved him self a willing mixer and tried to land a knockout punch throughout the mill, but Alex was too tough and too much of a boxer for his much more experi enced opponent. Both Boys Willing:. The first three rounds were even np, with both maulers landing their share of wallops. Tillman kept shooting over a right cross in an attempt to send Trambitas sprawling and fre quently sent in a. punch to the Port lander's solar plexus. Trambitas kept jabbing away, rocking Tillman from side to side with lefts and rights, and was ready to stand" toe to toe and slug any time that Tillman pleased to. In the fourth canto the Minnesota boxer stepped out a little stronger thftn Trambitas and might be accord ed a shade. Alex got real sore in ythe fifth round and from then on the bout was hammer and tongs. The Portland boy fought hard In the fifth and landed effectively with a straight left and a right counter. Trambitas Rallies, Tkongb Hart. - The sixth round was one of the best of the match, and if anyone had a slight shade it was Tillman. The sev enth was an even affair, neither forg ing ahead to any great enough ex tent to entitle them to the margin. The eighth canto was a whirl of milling from gong to gong. Tillman shot in some terrific right-hand crushers. A slam to Trambitas' stom ach slowed the youngster up and a right to the side of the face put him in bad shape for about 15 seconds. He rallied toward the end of the round and met Tillman, give and take. Trambitas tore in with a vengeance in the ninth stanza and took it by a wide margin and the invader began to show signs of weakening under the rain of gloves. Both Battlers Go Down. ' The tenth round ended in a blaze of punches and came near coming to a climax when both boys banged into each other and went to the mat. Till man's head striking the floor with a resounding thud. It was a mean jar, but it tended to clear his head, as he was fighting even harder when the bell rang Frankie Murphy, Denver welter weight, fought his way to a decision over Frankie Jones of San FranciRco in the eight-round semi-windup. The last round was the only one with any action and at times the bous got on the fans' nerves. Jones fought along In his own peculiar style, which makes him one of the hardest boys In the country to hit, and for trying the most and getting in the few solid punches Murphy was given the call. Aril Zimmerman Defeated- "Babe" Herman, Sacramento ban tamweight, and Baby Blue of San Francisco fought a six-round draw. Blue forced the fighting and made things Interesting for the clever Sac ramento boy. Johnny Fiske, Rock Island (111.) featherweight, hammered his way to a six-round decision over Nell Zim merman of Portland in the other six round special. Young Dempsey won on a technical knockout over Jack Holland In two rounds' in the scheduled four-round curtain-raiser. Holland went down for the count of nine in the first round, but arose In good condition. He tired himself out in. the second canto by trying to get at Dempsey with a hard punch, and when caught on the chin the second time he went down for the count of nine and did not come up in such good shape. A 'Proclamation President Wilson said while we were in the throes of the great war that there was such a thing as being too proud to fight. I bore this statement in mind when I answered sev eral of my customers yesterday wha asked my salesmen and myself why it was that our goods were not "on - sale" as they were in other stores. I said: '7 Feel Too Proud to Put on a Sale" First : Because my goods are marked right the lowest. This saves the bad feeling that often arises through customers paying two prices ; that is, by one man paying a big price at "No Sale" quotation to make up the loss on the other fellow who buys at "On Sale" quotation. Second: I am proud to know that I can run my business flourishingly at the beginning of the fall season without resorting to a "Clearance Sale." I am proud to know that I have the confidence of the people of Portland, . who show by their patronage that they believe in me and my upstairs system of trading. A WORD ON CLOTHING PRICES: The downward trend will be slow, owing to many prevailing conditions. When prices drop my upstairs prices will immediately reveal it.
