Grayson was believed to have re lated how he obtained the original affidavit from W. Baker ("Babe") Borton, former Vernon first baseman and captain, containing the charges which led to the investigation. Pow ers was said to have been questioned as to whether there were recent de velopments in the matter. It was announced subpenas would be issued for "Billy" Phyle, umpire; "Marty" Krug, second baseman, and "Dutch" Byler, catcher of the Salt Lake club. Jean Dale, who played with Salt Lake last year and with the Dallas club of the Texas league this season, whose testimony as to Borton"s charges was desired by ' the grand jury, has sent an affidavit containing a denial of alleged bribery. Dale stated he lent Borton $500 dur ing a Vernon-Salt Lake series in Salt Lake City and that Borton later re turned the money by mail. IS BY DICK SHARP. Valley Trambitas, the rugged Port land middleweight who changed his name to Jimmy Darcy when he quit falling down every time he started a punch, rocked and socked his ws:y to a ten-round decision over Tony Kid) Palmer of Bisbee, Ariz., in the main event of last night's boxing card at the Heilig theater. Darcy had a shade the better of the milling in every round but three of the ten. Palmer did not seem as strong as he was at the Milwaukie arena last week, but perhaps that was because Darcy caught him with some harder wallops in the early rounds of the fight. The bout was good enough, but it would be stretching a. point to say that it was as sensational as their previous battle, in which Palmer was awarded the popular verdict. Tony fought last night and used every trick in the trade that he knows. But they were not enough to beat Darcy. Palmer Gets Rough. The Portland middleweight fought carefully throughout the setto. He timed his punches and boxed Palmer when Tony began to get rough. The first round was even. Both Darcy and Palmer showed willingness to mix. Palmer slipped a couple of times and went to the floor, which seemed to unnerve him. Darcy took the lead in the second and third rounds and forced the issue. Palmer landed a right swing in the third that slowed Jimmy for a few seconds and made him seek cover. A straight punch mussed up Darey's nose. The fourth was marked with lair action. The fifth found the two speeding up a bit. Palmer took a dive through the- ropes and Darcy landed some telling lefts. m The sixth was a slashing canto. Darcy opened a cut on Palmer's eyelid, but the Arizona boy kept plugging away. The seventh and eighth were elam-bang sessions, with both boys landing, but Darcy hit harder and oftener by far. The ninth and tenth were even, with Palmer rallying in the tenth, too late. Flake Left-Handed to Death. Jack Davis of Oakland, the only real featherweight to box here in several years, won an eight-round decision in the semi-windup over Johnny Fiske, who scaled 130 pounds. Fiske is a mark for a left hand, and can't seem to correct his failing. Da .vis took advantage of his knowledge of Piske's weakness and landed al most at will with a left Jab. Fiske did not back an inch and chased Davis from pillar to post, but he eouldn't hurt the Oakland boy, while the latter kept piling up points that counted. Johnny came back strong in the last two rounds, but Referee Grover Fran cis stuck to his guns and raised the Oakland boy's hand. It looked as if each won two rounds, and four were even. Davis won the second and fifth and Fiske the final two. JIuff Bronson, Portland lightweight, and George Eagels of San Francisco. fought six hard rounds to a draw. The bout was a slugging match from start to finish. Both battlers had their arms cocked and tried for a knockout every minute of the going. Eagels looked good -the first three rounds but Branson's ability and ex perience began to tell in the fourth frame and from then on he was the master. The southern youngster was always ready to fight back but he met a boy who was always willing to step in and light. Bronson looked much better last r.icrht than he did aerainst Eddie Shannon recently. At times he showedS flashes of the form he displayed when at the top. Eagels made his hit by bi3 game, aggressive mixing. Grunan Shown Real Stuff. Al Grunan, clever Los Angeles lad, won as he would from Willie St. Clair colored lightweight of Sacramento. Ai showed some real stuff to the fans last night and proved himself a rea .boxer. Against Weldon Wing Grunan did not look like much, but last night there was quite a difference and at that he was meeting a tougher boy, who outweighed him 140 to 136 pounds. The bout was one of the best on the card and a great exhibi tion of boxing. Roy Sutherland, Los Angeles, 140- pounder, knocked out Frankie Crites of Newberg in the second round of their scheduled four-round bout with a right cross. He floored Crites in the first canto for the count of three, The weights of the boys announced at ringside were: Jimmy Darcy. 160 pounds: Tony Palmer, 158 pounds; Johnny Fiske. 130V6 pounds Jack Davis, 123 pounds; Muff Bron son, 136 pounds; George Eagels, 136 pounds; Al Grunan, 136 pounds; Wil lie St. Clair, 140 pounds: Roy Suther land, 140 pounds; Frankie Crites, 143 pounds.

BENSON SAYS SHIPS MOST PAY EXPENSES Commission of Operators Is Dependent on Earnings. ULTIMATE SALE OBJECT Tone of Letter Is . Unfavorable to Continuance of Vessels on Poor-Paying Routes. Delivery of Steamer by January 1 I ft Promised Lumber Fleet Xow Has Six Ships. The new steam schooner Quinault, built by G. F. Matthews for the Hart Wood Lumber company, was launched at 6 o'clock last night from the ways of the Peninsula Shipbuilding com pany's plant, the builders sacrificing the advantage of daylight in order to gain the effect of what little- tide reaches Portland. Although a scant depth of water prevails at present at the end of the ways, the launching was performed without mishap. Mrs. J. R. Bertholf, a sister of Mrs. F. A. Hart, acted as sponsor. The builders of the craft announced a week ago that the vessel was ready for launching, but because of the present low stage of the river the event would be postponed until the fall rains raised the river to the re quired depth. With the ad-vent of clear, cold weather, however, Mr. Matthews considered it advisable to place the craft in the water as quickly as pos sible and altered the ways to permit launching at the- river's present stage. Machinery for the Quinault has been completed by the Pacific Marine Iron works of this city and Is ready for . installation. This company has promised deli-very of the completed ship by January 1. Other work re maining to be done on the vessel con sists only of incidentals and the com pletion of the cabins, which have been roofed over to give protection from the weather. The Quinault will be the sixth ves sel in the steam-schooner fleet owned by the Hart-Wood Lumber company. The others, with their lumber capa city in feet are: San Diego, 1,600,000; Claremont, L400.000; Hartwood, 1,100,- 000; Solano 1,100,000 and Avalon. 950,- 000. The Quinault is expected to carry between 1,100,000 and 1,200,000 feet of lumber. The Quinault is the first lum ber-carrying steam schooner to be launched in the Columbia or Willam ette rivers since the Ernest H. Meyer, which the Quinault strongly re sembles, took the water at Astoria in 1917. - Last night's launching was the second to be performed here dur ing the hours of darkness. The other. with which this feat was accom plished, was one of the steel vessels built on private account by the Co lumbia River Shipbuilding corpora tion. Ship Reports by Radio.

JL, Questions bearing on the" local con troversy as to whether shipping board vessels operating between Portland and the far east will be) continued on this route, regardless of their earn ings, or tied up until business condi tions in the Orient improve, were dis cussed by Admiral Benson, chairman of the shipping board, in a letter on the new agency agreement, received here yesterday by J. W. Crichton, dis trict agent of the operations division of the board. "Under this agreement," said the admiral, "the agent will get nothing at all if he lets a ship lie idle. His commissions being based on the freight collected, he must, in order to make anything, not only secure cargo for the ship, but secure it at the best possible freight rates, and dispatch the ship quickly. There will be no money under this agreement for the manager, who lets the vessel lie in port, or who loads here only a third full, or at rates that are too low. Full cargoes, so far as possible; the best freight rates obtainable, and quick turn-arounda of the vessel on her voy ages are the secret of success for both the manager and the shipping board under this agreement. Tor a time the board urged a re vised profit-sharing plan, a revision of the plan which has actually- been in operation for some time, and which proved unsatisfactory. All profit-sharing plans, however. were finally discarded and, I think. Justly, when analysis shows that even the most efficient management of ships may not show profit in the im mediate future, with ocean freight rates rapidly falling in the face of foreign competition. If there was risk of loss. It should be borne, not by the managers of the ships, provided they are efficient, but by the board, as part of the task entrusted to. it by the American people of building up a permanent American merchant ma rine. "I can sum the whole matter up by saying that a long step forward has been taken in getting a simple agree ment which makes the manager work for his compensation and rewards him when he does, an agreement which has the recommendation of the teamship men of the whole country. the men who are to work Under it and who are, therefore, responsible for its success. But this should not be a final stopping place. There should be further progress. With the assist ance of these same steamship men, the board now wants to commence the working out o a further plan where by the manager will become responsi ble for the expenses of the vessel, as well as for her gross earnings, and where he will gradually be given al most complete independence of opera tion and where, as a consequence, the board's personnel and overhead ex penses, particularly in foreign ports, will be greatly reduced. "When this can be brought about. and the managers are operating the ships, freed from the board's supervi sion and assistance, independently, in stabilized trades, where the vessels have proved their value, then the American people, led by these steam ship managers, will buy the ships, and a great desideratum a privately owned American merchant marine- will be accomplished."

WOOD HULL BLOOMS US SAILING VESSEL Unfinished Wartime Craft Being Completed Here. UNDAUNTED TO BE NAME After Lying Practically Abandoned for Many Months, Skeleton Craft Soon Will Bo Windjammer. Quietly and -without the knowledge of most of Portland's waterfront fra ternity, work has been progressing for two months toward the completion as a five-masted sailing- schooner of one of the abandoned and uncompleted wood hulls started more than two years ajro as a wood steamer at the shipbuilding- yard of the Grant Smith Porter company. The schooner Is being completed by G. F. Matthews, shipbuilder of Ho quiam, the Hart-Wood Lumber com pany and private capital which has become interested. The Hart-Wood Lumber company will be her manag ing agents. The vessel is to be named Undaunt ed, after a famous American clipper chip In which the late Alfred W. Hart, brother of F. A. Hart, president of the Hart-Wood Lumber company, sailed as a boy. The name was selected by F. A, Hart. Vessel Has Checkered History. The history of this vessel has been a series of starts and stops, and ar rested development, since she was first laid down as a unit of the emergency- fleet corporation's wartime building pro-gramme. Her career was first checked by the signing of the armistice. At that time her frames and part of the ceiling were In place. The contract for her construction was canceled and she. lay &a she was for many months. . Then in January of this year came the startling announcement from the shipping board that George F. Rodg ers, president of the Astoria ship building company which bears bis name, had been given all 84 s-uch uncompleted, contract-canceled wood hulls resting on the ways in ship yards of every seaboard of the coun try and was to be paid $5000 apiece for disposing of the derelicts in any way he saw fit. Undaunted Anionic Flails. The hulls Abantis and Abdera at the Grant Smith-Porter yard, one of which skeleton structures was to be come the schooner Undaunted, were included in this deal, along with the hull Doylestown at the North- Port land yard of the G. M. Standifer Construction corporation and other unfinished boats at Astoria and Puget sound. The next step in the history of the hulls was the purchase from George Rodgers of three partially completed craft by Captain W. Z. Haskins, at that time manager of the Oregon Stevedoring company and now vice president of the Oregon & Ocean cor poration. The hulls acquired by Cap tain Haskins were the Doylestown, Abantis and Abdera. , Captain John R. Reynolds became associated with Captain Haskins and the two formed the Monarch Ship building company for the purpose of completing their purchases as sailing craft. Doylestown How Kcola. The Doylestown. at the Standifer plant, was selected as the first to be completed, and work was started. When the funds of the Monarch Ship building company became exhausted. Balfour, Guthrie & Co. acquired a controlling interest in the craft, and she was finally completed as the schooner Kcola. As such she reached Sydney, Australia, a few days ago with a cargo of lumber from Port land. Haskins and Reynolds had become somewhat disheartened by this time, but the terms of their purchase from George Rodgers required that the hulls should be launched, so that Rodgers could collect his $5000 apiece from the shipping board Accordingly, the hull Abantis, at the Grant Smith Porter yard, had to be placed in the water because the space she was oc cupying was needed for other pur poses. The partners of the Monarch company had enough planking fas tened to her ribs so that she would float, and launched her. Christened With WhitewsHk, Their satire in naming the hull "Swan Island" and christening her with a bucket of whitewash was the talk of the waterfront for weeks. The hulk is still lying at one of the docks of the lower harbor in the condition in which she was launched. One more hull remained to be launched before Captains Haskins and Reynolds should have fulfilled their obligations. This one they sold to the Hart-Wood Lumber company and G. F. Matthews two months ago. This latest bit of hull history is just now becoming known around the water front, following reports that work men were busy on the frame that had been resting in peace for so long. All the delay and misfortune that the craft has encountered have their advantages, though, in the opinion of th-e builders. The hull itself, as well as all the lumber which will .go into her construction as a sailing vessel, has been thoroughly seasoned.' Builders Design Details. The fact that she-was only-S2 per cent completed wnen abandoned by the emergency fleet corporation is another advantage, for it permits the builders to design her details as they wish them and -make the hatches of the size and in the location that best fits the Undiaunted's mission in life as a Pacific lumber carrier. The general lines of the- hull can not be changed, but "several -wood hulls of this type have been com pleted as sailing craft and have proved good sailors and large cargo carriers. Among these former wood steamer hulls now functioning 'as successful schooners and barkentines are the Oregon Fir and Oregon Pine, Ecola, Kate G. Pedersen, Phyllis Comyn and Katherine Mackall. The schooner Undaunted is expected to be ready for launching in Feb ruary. VANCOUVER GETS 4 BIG SHIPS Prunes, Canned Goods and Lumber Will Bo Outgoing Cargoes. VANCOUVER, Wash-.
