Kenneth Williams pulled another "Charley Ray" film stunt out at Coast League Park yesterday. Williams' feat consisted of knocking a sizzling home run over the right-field fence with the bases full in the third inning, permit ting Portland to ride through the aft ernoon on whipped cream clouds of nffluence at the expense of the Los Angeles cellar champions. The score finished 7-2 in Portland's favor, and the Grants Pass outfielder belted in five of the seven. In the second inning, with Southpaw Charley Brown in the box and Farmer on second from a two-base hit, Wil liams prodded one of Brown's slants against the deep right center-field fence. His swat went for a triple and scored the first Beaver registration. Hosts; William' Victim. Hits by Hollocher, Rodgers and Wilie filled the bags in the third inning and caused Frank Chance to banish Brown in favor of Hogg, and it was Hogg who receipted for Williams' terrific home run drive. It sailed so far over the palisades that a boy on an autoped was chasing it down Linnton boulevard at last reports. It was the first home run of the year with the bags loaded first in a couple of seasons hereabouts, we are inclined to believe. It boosted the Beavers in the first division for the first time in weeks. Judge McCredie put into effect his Tuesday ladies' day scheme, and about 2500 fans were out to welcome the An gels. The local magnate should let the baldheads in free, too, for they were the only ones who failed to get full satisfaction yesterday. Those with luxuriant foliage on top experienced the exhilarating sensation of having their hair bristle at divers and sundry moments. The best the baldheads could draw were a few goose pimples on their bare scalps. Lapan Prevents) Shutout. Another home run besides Williams' protruded into the sunshiny afternoon. When the game grew really lop-sided Manager Chance, of the Angels, benched Bassler and tried out young Lapan be hind the windpad, and Lapan broke in Just in time to whack a drive into the left-field bleachers with Ellis on first base. This swat of Lapan's scored the two scores for the Seraphs, recorded in the box as having crossed the plate in the seventh inning. Barring this one lusty poke Bill Fincher toyed with the visitors throughout. He allowed only six hits to seven off Brown and Hogg, fanned four and never wavered on control for an instant. Fincher is beginning to exhibit big-league symptoms. Two star fielding stunts by Rube Kllis and an oratorical tilt between I.'mpire Thyle and Denny Wilie added spice to the otherwise sensational aft ernoon. Phyle called a third strike on Wilie when the latter was down on his hands in the dust and Wille's temper immediately backed its Jolly way into, the drammer. Wilie called Phyle sev-' cral pet titles, told him he had so little sense he would fish for smelt with a hook and line, insinuated that he played poker with Saratoga chips and otherwise so rolled Phyle that the "mps" kicked him out of the game. Stumpf finished in right field. Rodney Vaughn made his first local appearance in a Los Angeles uniform and went hitless. He played a nice game in the field. The Angels fell down on two occasions in fielding. Davis overthrew first trying to complete a double in the sixth, and Hogg threw poorly to the plate trying to cut off a run in the third before Williams' home run.

Campi's next go will be with Al Davies in Victoria, B. C, on May 19. After his bout with Davies. Eddie will try to land a bout in Seattle with Ed die Pinkman, who has refused repeat edly to meet him. He then will leave for California with Harry Casey, Dick Wells, and Jo Harrahan, accompanied by "Caruso" Dan Salt, the well-known Seattle boxing imptessario. While in the south he will meet Frankie Tucker, Lee, Johnson and several good boys, who are claiming the featherweight championship of the Pacific Coast. Casey, Wells and Harrahan should have no trouble holding their own with the best boys at their respective weights, as they are the leaders in their class in the Northwest. Dan Salt gives out the information that practically all of the good boxers In Seattle are working in the different shipbuilding plants and have expressed a willingness to enlist if needed at the front. Leo Houck, the Seattle featherweight well-known in local boxing circles, is well on the road to recovery. He was injured severely at Los Angeles, when part of the scenery in a moving pic ture set fell on him. He expects to re turn to the game in about two months. Cbet Neff, another Seattle boxer who is well known here, having met Muff Bronson on several occasions at the Rose City Athletic Club, is also in Los Angeles working for a film company He has been meeting all the best boys in the south at his weight. Johnny Dundee will meet Charley White, the Chicago lightweight, at Gary, Ind., on May 31. . Nick Simpson, the English middle weight who boxed here against Valley Trambitas a few months ago and then dropped out of sight, has turned up in Vancouver, B. C, where he has joined the Canadian army. Simpson is one of the men to whom the British press re ferred as a "slacker." VARSITY MEN WILL VIE BIG INTRAMURAL TRACK MEET TO BE HELD SATtRDAl".

This meet is to take the place of the annual University of Washlngton- uregon meet, which was called off this year on account of the war.

Mike Gibbons lived up to his name last night when he cuffed through six rounds with Al Sommers. The bout served as the main event of a six-bout card presented by the Western Athletic Club at the Broadway Theater. Al Sommers realizes today how much of a jump it is between a good "local cham- peen and the world s champion. Gib bons got the decision. The St. Paul .phantom was brandett by about 1700. fans as the greatest boxer in the world. His footwork was daz zling and he exhibited it. variety of punches which were never before seen in a Portland ring. Mike stacked up against Sommers just like Dan Patch would look if placed alongside of one of Charley Cook's mules. Sommers linn Stage Fright. The local lad did not hit Gibbons a solid punch in the six rounds. It was a sort of a lark for the man whom Les Darcy refused to battle. He seemed to enjoy the setto immensely. Sommers was frightened to death when he en tered the ring, although he kept swing ing his hands in the general direction of Mike all the while. Gibbons is an artist,' a fellow who has achieved something which only a master could have done. Sommers is a good-sized 158-pounder. still Gibbons was considerable taller and weighs around 155. The middleweight cham pion could not give the spectators a sample of his true ability. He dared not level a punch for fear that he would stop Al. As it was, apparently light cuffs shook the Portland youth up as early as the second round. Som mers finished with a pair of slightly discolored eyes and his nose bled pro fusely from the second canto on. To make a long story short. Portland saw Mike Gibbons. It was worth the price of admission to see him stripped. Portland fans agree with the many critics who have pronounced him the greatest piece of fighting machinery in the world. Other results follow: - 135 pounds "Muff" Bronson and Harry Casey, of Seatle. boxed to a draw.. 125 pounds Joe Gorman, of Oakland, and Shel McCool boxed to a draw. 122 pounds VVeldon Wing stopped John Rawley in two rounds. 135 pounds Jimmy Moscow stopped Joe Cumrnings in three rounds. 122 pounds Joe Karrell. of Oregon City, topped Bert Taylor In five rounds. Bronon-CaMey io Exciting. "Muff" Bronson and Harry Casey put upa rough, slam-bang argument marred by the continual hanging-on and clinching of both youngsters. Sasey was the worst offender of the two, but as he. has been boxing in Tuget Sound where no one cares how much they hit in the clinches, Harry will be excused this time. Casey, however, has no place in a boxing ring. Bronson outboxed Dan Salt's protege in a couple of rounds, held him even in two more and. Casey perhaps shaded the Portland schoolboy In a couple of cantos by his ripping and swinging tactics. Bronson made Casey miss often. Joe Gorman and Shcl McCool put up the greatest battle of the night. This boy McCool deserves a lot of credit. When he started boxing a couple of years ago he was stopped two or three times by being whanged on the jaw. He seemed to be unable to stand up unler a good punch. But last night he stopped . several hard- jolts- on his chin and never stopped fighting. Cvorman and McCool t.et Draw. The draw decision was all that could have been given in face of the fact that neither kid "dogged it" at any time. A decision to either would have robbed the other. Gorman had a slight shade in the third round, when he carried the mixing to Shel for all he was worth. The boys stood toe to.toe at the closing bell. John Rawley quit to w eldon Wing in the second round. For some reason or other, Tex McCarthy, scheduled to box the Albina terrier, did not show. Rawley had better quit boxing. Jimmy Moscow had Joe Cumrnings winded in the third round, when the latter slipped to the floor, looking for a soft spot. Joe Farrell gave Bert Taylor, a game boy. another beating. Tommy Gibbons, light heavyweight champion of the world, and brother of Mike Gibbons, was introduced. Jack Fahie and Jack King kept time while Johnny Boscovitch announced.

The Shattuck Grammar School Base ball team won a 27 to 19 game from the Davis Grammar School nine yes terday afternoon on the Reservoir grounds. The heavy hitting of Marcus Schnelderman, the 180-pound 14-year- old Shattuck third baseman, was re sponsible in a large measure for the victory. He connected for two home runs, both when the bases were jammed. Coach Taylor's Glencoe Grammar School nine won from the Glenhaven contingent. 9 to 2, yesterday on the winners' diamond. Coach Taylor, who is a firmer Victoria Northwestern League player, thinks that he has the strongest grammar school team-. In Portland. He pins considerable faith on his star twlrlers, Purdy and Taltt. Taltt is said to be the best right-hander in the grammar school league, while Charley Schwartz, pf Failing, is her alded as the star southpaw of the circuit.

Former Coaster Loses to Chicago in Yesterday's Game, Due to Poor Support of Teammates. Matlick (iocs to Dallas. Allan Sutton Sothoron. Brownie twirler. who has heaved his way to fame and glory, is an iron man. A scrutiny of his performances in minor leagues shows that if Dave Dav enport is unable to step out this year and win a double-header or so for Fielder Jones' gang, maybe Sothoron will step Into the heavy-burden breach. 1 Sothoron has Teen the property of the Browns for three years. He has been taken up and Bent back a num ber of times. He became the property of the Browns back in 1914, when Robert Hedges, then owner of the club, paid $1600 for his release, from the Haver hill club, of the New England League. And he hadn't done such a whale of a season's work, either. He just simply looked good. and Branch Rickey thought he could be made into a demon curve r. He was taken on the training trip that year and lasted until the Browns started back north. One day while in Oklahoma Al was Informed that Wichita wanted htm and that the deal waa on. Wichita wasn't much of an inspira tion to a rising young pitcher. It had been a habit of Wichita clubs to get started early In last place and stay there. But Sothoron didn't mind. He did his work in 42 games, winning 16 and losing 17. His earned-run aver age was 3.15. That year he reported to the Browns in the Fall, but wasn't used. Next Spring he didn't even start north. He packed his grip at the training camp and hied himself away to a long Sum mer's work with the Portland club. Last year Sothoron appeared in 57 games, working 397 innings.. He won 30 and dropped 17, allowing 2.65 earned runs per nine innings. That's quite a record for a young ster to bring with him from the Coast League to the American, and this year Fielder Jones decided to show Al to the majors. He did an Al has per formed In his best company manner. Sothoron pitched part of two games against the White Sox yesterday. Chi cago won both of them, due to the Browns' poor playing. If George Stovall is now over the 18-man player limit he is at least tak ing steps to get within lhe law. for he has asked waivers on Outfielder Chick Mattick and Inffeldcr .Polly McLarry. Mattick goes on his own request to the Dallas club of the Texas League, in which he is a stockholder. An out fielder named Crouch is coming to Vernon to fill his shoes. McLarry is not an impressive ballplayer and doesn't suit the firebrand. Stovall. by the way. is still kicking up the turf. He is now out after Um pire Red Held's job. Stovall says that Held has made remarks on the ball field which were unbecoming to an official. The general impression Is that George is "sore" because Held threw him out of a recent game. Manager Frank l.o ' Roy Chance, of the Angel band, brought 17 players to Portland. Lapan. a young catcher from Los Angeles, came along in the place of Outfielder Wade Killifer, who was sent to his home from San Fran cisco suffering from a lame flipper. The Peerless Leader says that he has heard nothing about the Coast League clubs cutting down to 16 men. Bits of Shrapnel. COURAGE is a' boxers best asset, says Mike Gibbons. The courage to say "No!" when offered a bout with the St. Paul phantom has proved in valuable to many a pug, including Les lie James Darcy. "Golf Is a Serious Game" reads a headline. That is probably why so many persons play it on Sunday. It has been estimated that the ink required to write all the guff that has been written on golf would, if placed in the Pacific Ocean at the Sandwich Islands, turn the water black as far south as New Zealand and as far north as Kamchatka. Quite Likely. Jens Wlllard pays he wants to fight Twice more before he quits: The chances are, however, he'll Be stalling with his mitts As long as he and Thomas Jonesa Can gather In two v bits.

What Ex-Coasters Did. BUCK WEAVER helped the White So, beat the Browns. He scored a run and made a hit in three times up. Along with "Swede" Risberg, he made the only errors.

Sothoron pitched the sixth inning, with no damage resulting. Peckinpaugh scored a run and stole a basa for the Yanks. "Ping" Bodie got a triple and . a double In four times up. Bates laced a'single.
