BY ROSCOE FAWCETT. rortland's ball club demonstrated yesterday that It Is rto respecter of octogenarians, for the Beavers lit onto their former Los Angeles Nemesis, Jack Ryan, and pounded out their sixth con secutive win by a score of 7 to 1. The Beavers exuded just two varie ties of hits singles and home runs. Two. of the seven hits garnered by the home crowd were home runs over the right-field fence. Borton led off the sixth Inning1 with a lofted fly over the palisade and Williams stepped up the very next moment and lined an other of Jack Ryan's spltters over the fence. Williams' drive cleared the boards by less than six inches, tearing its way through one of George L. Ba ker's cloth signs along the top of the fence. "Gawge L." almost lost the vote of the Grants Pass shark hunter. Brenton Does) Heady Work. Ryan bears the reputation of being the slowest twlrler in captivity. When ever the aged slablst is scheduled to pitch the wise "birds" in the grand stand bring their cots and bedding and prepare to camp out. Jack's saliva, however, flowed less lethargically than usual yesterday, and the boys finished their afternoon's labor in two hours and 15 minutes. Lynn Brenton graced the mound, op posed to Ryan, and Brenton pitched a steady, heady, gilt-edged fielding game. He was accorded fine support, too, Sig lin, Borton, Rodgers and Williams all making some fine spears. While Bren ton allowed seven hits, three of them were registered in the ninth, when Brenton let down in the lea of a 7-1 score in his favor. Even then the Angels were unable to cross the plate, Brenton cutting one down at third and forcing Maggert and Vaughn to lift flies to Williams. Schults Una Off Day. Portland drew first blood in inning one. Rodgers beat out an infield hit to Ryan, stole second and scored on Schultz' wide throw to first. Schultz suffered a bad day in the field, being charged with three errors. Los Angeles tied the count In the second- inning on Bassler's walk, Glelchmann's sacrifice and Ryan's sin gle to right. Portland registered another tally in the fourth inning on Farmer's single through short, a wild pitch, infield out and Williams' long sacrifice fly to center, Maggert making a circus catch. The Beavers crammed another score over the plate in the fifth inning on Hollocher's walk, theft of second and Wilie's single to center. Heavera Get Exercise. The consecutive' home runs by Bor ton and Williams made it 5-1 in the sixths and for added measure, by way of rubbing it in, the Beavers chalked up two more in the eighth, when Schultz pulled another mlscue and the Beavers began running wild on the bags. Schultz" error permitted Williams to reach first. Siglin sent him to third on a hit-and-run single through short. Williams scored on Fisher's single to right. Siglin stole third, catching Schultz asleep, and scored on a double steal with Fisher, Davis throwing wild to the plate. Ken Penner will twirl for Portland today at 3 o'clock, opposing either Hogg or Standridge.

SANE VIEWPOINT TAKEN Pacific - Northwest Clubs Already Have Sent Large Numbers of Younger Stars to Defense of Their Country. BT ROSCOE FAWCETT. In these stirring war days when so many golf and tennis clubs are asking themselves what they can do to be of service to their country. It is gratify ing to note that hysteria has not been permitted to influence the action of the executive committees in Pacifie Northwest golf and tennis. It is not necessary to hang up costly prizes and trophies. The man who plays simply to wtn a valuable mug or medal is not a real sportsman, any way. But. competitive play for men not immediately available for Army or Navy purposes should be fostered and encouraged. Government officials desire that it be so, and, this being true, hysterical sentimentality should not be permitted to rule and ruin. After thorough consultation with the high officials of the Army and Navy, representative men from tennis, golf and track athletics met and drafted resolutions carrying a broad, far seeing and natural appeal that should be adopted in full compliance of spirit by the various sport governing bodies. English Clnb la Cited. Pacific Northwest golf clubs already are sending large numbers of their younger stars to the service. And, before the war is ended, the various clubs will be able to do a great deal more than this for their country. , In this connection a little detailed history of what the Mid-Surrey Club of England has done is interesting. On the walls of the clubhouse is a list of members who have joined the King's forces. These in themselves are enough to form a fine company of infantry. The club has given liberally to the war funds and has established a system of entertaining wounded soldiers. Seven thousand already have been en tertained there. It also has held pro fessional matches on the course for the benefit of the course. The links have been kept up in fine shape and the course has been thrown open free to soldier golfers, until khaki and green now are the pre vailing colors. Instead of showing a financial loss the club has shown an Increased income of more than $1000 and, moreover, the club's indebtedness has been decreased by $1500 during the year. Trne Competition Fostered. This is a most extraordinary hap pening, especially in the case of a club that has done its war duty so well. If it were a question of whether or not golf clubs should be kept open during war times and tournaments held and If it were to be decided by the case of the Mid-Surrey Club, there would be no doubt as to the outcome. But, of course, there is no such question. Those clubs which put the game above any individual or set of indivi duals, and which carry out the spirit of the resolutions in providing the competitive stimulus so necessary, will work for the best interests of golf and the best interests of their country. The three Portland golf clubs, the Waverley Country Club, Portland Golf Club and Tualatin Country Cluh, al ready have formulated plans looking toward the assistance of the country in the war. And there has been no timidity in announcing the usual tournament a timidity skulking in the skirts of hysterical patriotism. Baseball Summary. STANDING S OF THE TEAMS. Chicago. . St. Louis. .

FRANK KENDALL, the big Fortland heavyweight, is ready to step back Into the roped arena after a rest of a month. Frank would Just as soon go six rounds every night, but heavies are scarce in this part of the country, As fast as they show up he takes them on. barring none. Kendall is ex ceptionally fast for a 200-pounder. He is dickering with promoters in the south with a view of making a trip to San Francisco to take on some of the Golden Gate heavyweight talent. While there Frank would like to step over to Oakland and meet Willie Mee han. He is keeping himself in trim bv working a few rounds each day with his brother, Roy Kendall, who is quite some heavy himself. To see these two work one would not think they were brothers, as neither of them holds back anything when they box together. ... Jimmy Moscow, who at one time was one of the leading lightweights bete, is still determined to come back, and ia training daily with that idea In mind. Jimmy is still young, and if he gets in good shape will put up a hard battle with the local boys at his weight. Moscow took on Joe Cum nilngs at a minute's notice at the West ern Athletic Club smoker Teusday night, and stopped him in three rounds. Sammy Goode, former Portland wel terweight, has left Seattle for Manila to serve in the United States Army. Harry Foley, who manages the Dreamland Rink in San Francisco, com plains that the four-rounfl boxers who perform at Dreamland are becoming as fastidious as prima jlonnas. They are demanding private dressing-rooms, and on occasions have threatened to throw up matches unless their wishes were complied with. Foley adds that if they will only stand firm for what they want he will see that the next time the building is remodeled each gets a private room with a perfumed bath and an attendant in uniform. Dan Salt returned to Seattle Tues day night with Harry Casey, whom he brought here to meet Muff Bronson. Salt's next trip will be to California. He will take Casey, Wells, llarrahan and Eddie Campl with him from Seattle. Not to he outdone bv Ralph Gruman, a number of Portland's best known boxers have enlisted in the National Guard and are now in Vancouver serv ing under the flag. Carl Hansen, who a few years ago was one of the best featherweights in the Northwest, Is in the engineers' corps. He likes the Army life fine and recommends it for all of the mitt wielders. Hansen is training every day at the post gym nasium and will make his debut to the fans in the near future at a smoker h held hv th Vancouver Athletic Club. Carl weighs 130 pounds, but will make the featherweight , limit without much trouble. Edward Heffernan, Ralph Gruman, Gus McDonald.

The shield is of attractive design and will be one of the decorative features about the new High School building, which is nearing completion here. Helfrich Going Right, Honck Get ting Into Form and Brenton and Penner Earmarks of Great Fllngers. Ever since the Pacific Coast League season opened, rival managers, know ing that it Is unquestionably a strong club at the bat and in the field, pointed out that the pitching staff of the Port land crew was nothing more than an ordinary combination and would not stand up through the season with the flingers of Los Angeles, Vernon and San Francisco. Up until last week the performance of the Beaver flingers bore out the contention of rival managers, but there has been a sudden change. Lynn Bren ton allowed the Angels but seven hits and one run yesterday, George Helfrich Is coming with leaps and bounds, and Byron Houck pitched a beautiful game against the Oaks last week. Ken Penner has shown that he has the earmarks of a great fllnger. He's due for a victory today. Bill Flncher appears to be one of the best right handers who ever chucked in this great Western circuit. If Wild Bill Harring ton, the southpaw purchased from Denver, can come through and give McCredle some left-handed aid, the Portland club will be up fighting all season. Buddy Ryan and Rube Evans are playing In a manner that would be helpful to the Beavers If McCredle still had them. Baseball in Portland has absorbed enough moisture to last all year. "One million are striking in Ger many," says a headline. Bill Rodgers is striking, too. but is also hitting. FTank Chance is wondering whether or not he'll miss the Sunday game this week. He had a lot of hard luck with Jupiter Pluvius last year.

M'ALLISTER HAS CLASS San Francisco Boxer Xow Consid ered Good Card for Mike Gib bons St. Paul Phcnoms to Continue Tour. Eddie Kane must have been a dis appointed individual yesterday over the news from New York that Bob Mc Allister beat Battling Levinsky all the way through 10 rounds Wednesday night. The San Franciscan turned the trick under a 16-pound weight handi cap. He weighed 164 pounds against 180 for Dumb Dan Morgan's protege. Before leaving here Wednesday afternoon Kane said that he was in hope that Levinsky would beat McAl lister so that he would establish him self in New York as a fit opponent for Tommy Gibbons. "Tommy was generally recognized as the best light heavyweight living be fore he took eight out of 10 rounds from Levinsky at St. Paul. March 15. This victory forced every critic to de clare that he was the real champion." said Kane. "Levinsky will have to re establish himself before? we will give him another chance at Tommy." Tommy Gibbons has certainly earned a right to be called the peer of the light heavies. He has beaten Levinsky. Bill Miske twice. George ("Knockout") Brown twice, Bob Moha. "Knockout" Brennan and stopped Buck Crouse. Bob McAllister may get another crack at Mike Gibbons upon the conclu sion of the present tour. Mike knocked McAllister out in seven rounds in New York January 12, 1914. But the Seal Rocks City boy has been going like a house-afire on this last trip to Gotham, and would now be a fairly good card against the middleweight king in either New Tork or St. Paul. McAl lister's victory over Levinsky Wednes day night did him a heap of good. Mike and Tommy Gibbons will leave Portland tomorrow afternoon for Eu gene, where they will appear at the Eugene Elks' smoker Monday night. Bill Hayward, trainer of the University of Oregon athletes, will have the boys in tow while they stop in the Lane County metropolis. Mike and Tom will angle for redsides in the McKenzie River on Sunday and Monday. From Eugene they go to Sacramento, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Salt Lake, Og den. Cheyenne. Grand Island, Neb., Lin coln. Omaha and then home. Manager Kane will work- In advance of the boxers. They plan to reach St. Paul shortly after June 1 and to do a lot of Red Cross work then. A match with George Carpentier. the French heavyweight, is a morsel that Mike Gibbons would enjoy. Sometime ago he was offered $25,000 and one third of the motion picture sale price to box the French idol in London over the 20-round route. At the time Mike did not care to cross the big brink, but now he would be glad to appear against Carpentier any place. . "Did you ever stop to think how many boxers Mike Gibbons has in structed and turned out?" asked Walter Mille last night. "Here are a few of the best: Billy Miske. Johnny Ertle, bantamweight champion: Mike O'Dowd, Billy Whalen, Sap McKenna, Johnny Tillman, Irish Patsy Cline and Marty Farrell. "All of them, not to mention Tommy Gibbons, took their style after the phantom. Mike Gibbons says that Billy Whalen is the coming lightweight champion. He has beaten many good boxers, including Eddie Wallace and Charlie Metrie. Whalen has a kick like a mule. Mike told me that once Whalen hit him on the jaw and shook him harder than any middleweight ever did." Mike McNulty handles Ertle and his brother, Mike Ertle. another bantam weight. They say that Mike Krtle is better than Johnny. Mike Ertle also received the Inside dope on the game from Mike Gibbons. Sap McKenna Is a bantamweight who is also being han dled by Eddie Kane, who looks after the financial matters for the Gibbons boys. "Irish Patsy" Cline Is heralded aa the cleverest featherweight in the world. Whenever Mike Gibbons goe to New York. Cline wishes himself on the St. Paul flash as a sparring partner.
