Scoring up to that time had been light and infrequent.- Helfrich. like Hogg, displayed good form, although not quite as well rounded. Portland picked up its first run in the second, when Borton doubled and scored on a brace of sacrifices. Singles by Meusel. Ellis and Davis and the muff of a thrown ball by Hollocher enabled Los Angeles to tie the score in the sixth. In the ninth Denny Wilie beat out a.terrific liner to Kenworthy. Farmer sacrificed and Borton's out put Wilie on third. Williams walked and started for seconds base. and Boles made a bluff throw to Hogg. Brad ley wheeled and threw to third. The ball hit Wilie as he was sliding back into the base and caromed far into left field. Both men scored and Slglin popped to Davis for the third out.

GUiSTO IS BATTING .196 EX-BEAVER SEEMS TO BE VICTIM OF QL.D JOE SLUMP. Former Coasters Xow in National League Perform Well With Bat. Elliott Hits at .201 Clip. Louis Guisto seems to be in the clutches of Old Joe Slump. The last major league batting statistics show Guisto batting only .196. Chick Gan- dil, whom he suppianted at the first sack for Cleveland, is doing but little work with the willow at Chicago. Gan- dil's bat average is all of three points above Guito .199, to be exact. Swede Risberg is enjoying even more secret privileges than either Guisto or Gandll for his average witn the White Sox is .125. Bates is batting .293 for Philadel phia and Bodie .226. Heilmann is go ing at a .269 clip for Detroit. Joe Evans, another ex-Portland inflelder, is another charter member of the cen sored batting division. Evans' average with Cleveland is .195. Ex-Coasters are doing much better work in the National League than the graduates to the Americans. . Rowdy Elliott-is hitting .298 for - Chicago; Ward .262 for Pittsburgh; Bancroft .288 for the Phillies; Reuter .270 for the Cubs and Wilholt..298 for Boston. Jack Smith, ex-Seattle outfielder, still leads the National batsmen with a grand total of .444. The only Coast er in the doldrums is Harry Wolter who is hitting only .188 for the Cubs. And Wolter looked the- best of all the Cubs in the Spring games in California. Harry is bound to strike his stride later on for he was one of the most dangerous hitters in the Coast league in 1915 and 1916. BED SOX DRUB BROWNS FIELDER JONES' TOSSERS ARE NO MATCH FOR LEADERS.

In order to prevent the carp in the river eating the grass on the 17th and 18th fairways at the Waverley Country Club during high water workmen began the task yesterday of installing several hundred feet of one-inch mesh netting along the bank of the Willam ette. The greens committee looks for 27 feet of water along about the middle of June, when the Snake River and the Columbia River begin to take off their annual Spring melt. Nearly every Spring the river overlows portions of the last two fairways at Waverley and when the water recedes it leaves a litter of driftwood and bald fairways. The fish congregate in schools to feast on the luscious blades of glass so carefully nurtured by the greens keepers. Owing to the absence from the city of Harry H. Ptarce and K. S. Hall, two new directors have been elected by the Portland Golf Club to fill the unex pired terms. The hew directors are: Hugh Gearin and Roscoe Fawcett.

SPORTS HELD ESSENTIAL PRESIDENT WILSON URGES CON. TI NUANCE OF ACTIVITIES. Scholastic Athletic Valuable for Di verting; People and Contribute to National Defense. WASHINGGTON. May 23. Wholesale abandonment of college and school ath letic sports during the war is not ad visable. President Wilson believes, not because of their value to divert the American people, but because they con tribute to National defense. In a letter to Lawrence Perry, of the New York Evening Post, made public today, the President said: "I entirely agree with the conclusion contained in your letter of May 15. I would be sincerely sorry to see the men and boys in our colleges and schools give up their athletic sports and I hope most sincerely that the normal course of college sports will be con tinued as far as possible, not only to afford a diversion to the American peo ple in the days to come when we shall no doubt have our share of mental de pression, but as a real contribution to the National defense, for our young men must be made physically fit in or der that later they may take the places of those who are now of military age and exhibit the vigor and alertness which we are proud to believe to be characteristic of our young men."

THIRD-RATERS ARE FASTER Barron Last to Give Beating to Young Champion Benny Leon- . ard Hopes to Win Laurels From Freddie Welsh. Johnny Ertle, who is technically the holder of the bantamweight title by virtue of a foul In the fifth round of his battle with Kid Williams at St. Paul on September 10. 1915. has ioined Johnny Coulon on the down grade. Not yet Zl years old. Ertle s quick retro gression is one of the mysteries of the ring today. tor the last year, in spite of the fact that Ertle has not fought himself out as Bat Nelson or Terry McGovern did. ertle has been knocked and buffeted around and nowadays almost any third-rate toxer in his division beats him or holds him even. If Ertle had traveled the route, there might be some excuse for his slipping. In some circles it is said that Ertle'a handlers have been taking him along the gay white way where the lights burn brightly, and if this is the case it is quite easy to see the reason for his being burned out Just at the time, when he should be at .his best. Only the other night Kid Barrone, a third-rater of Pittsburg, beat him in a six-round battle. Ertle's performances In the last year have been most disappointing. He was outpointed by Abe Kaufman In Phila delphia in six rounds. Dick Loadman beat him by a comfortable margin in Baltimore. Pekln Kid Herman (not Kid Herman, of New Orleans), who is a third-rater, held Ertle even in Mil waukee, and now Barrone holds bis own with the former terror of the bantam weights. m Monday night, in New York, Bennle Leonard hopes to win the lightweight championship of the world by knock lng out Freddie Welsh. Leonard feels that he is better than ever and pointj to his recent string of knockouts and he wants to cap the climax by winning the championship crown. From what he has been doing of late it would not be at all surprising if he pene trated that wonderful defense and put over the kayo. They all get it in time, the gamest of them. Now it's Johnny Coulon. once leader of the bantams, who has tried to come back and failed. It was too much to ask him to face a fellow like KM Herman, of New Orleans. V hen he was in Portland several months ago Coulon said a boxer had Just so many punches in his system; was able to stand just so much punish meht. He compared the scrapper to the baseball pitcher. Johnny has come to the end of tin road as a boxer of championship cali ber. He still has the spirit, but the flesh is weak. While many boxers were and are still talking about what they are will lng to do, Ralph Gruman sneaked In and Joined Company O. Third Oregon. Ralph never was a championship likht- weight or welterweight, but he has been a- clever, shifty fellow and his blows have been felt all around the circuit. He's a real hero, this Gruman boy.

According to a Victoria newspaper, Campl showed that there had been no exaggeration in the advance reports siven of his speed ana cleverness, out, if anything, his hitting powers had been underrated. .le fought a good, clean fight throughout, and, although the contest was distinctly one-sided, the public who took in the tournament certainly had its money s wortn.

KEYSTONE JOB FILLED Ex-Coaster lias Hitting Ability and la Strong on Defense Infield of Clianeetnen Held to Be Weakest in League. 'What part will "Kopecks" Ken worthy play in the rebuilding of Frank LeRoy Chance's wrecked baseball ma chine? It is generally agreed that Bill will continue to hit In the Pacific Coast League this season Just as hard and often as he did last. The pitching hasn't improved over the Winter to such an alarming degree that any fears should be entertained by the Peerless Leader regarding Kenworthy's success with the bludgeon. "Lord Kenworthy ought to provide lot of the attack lost by the Angels when Harry Wolter graduated to the Chicago Cubs. Just what the run- making bat of Wolter meant to the Chancemen is best learned through a casual glance at tho Seraphs' present abiding place. Last year, Wolter, Phil Koerner, now with San Francisco, and Catcher Johnny Bassler led in the offense for the Cafeteria City, with Rube Ellis lending a helping hand ever so often. Bassler is still on the Job. Kllis has returned but is not smiting the pellet as of yore and "Red" Killifer, may, when he gets in shape, do some of the batting tossed to the wind when Koerner. along with Kllis. was traded to Harry Wolverton for Pitcher Curly Brown. Kenworthy tied Bunny Brief for the batting leadership of the Pacific Coast League last season. He figures to do as much hitting for Los Angeles as Harry Wolter did last season. "Kopecks" undoubtedly will act as a gap-Btopper in the Angel Infield, which was the weakest in the circuit before he arrived last Sunday and his "pep" will set a good example to some more of the Chance hirelings. Bobby Vaughn has been shifted to third. Joe Schultz released and Kenworthy placed at second. But look at those Beavers. They've taken the first two games from Chance's crew. There's a lot of live reading In the public prints these days. Mr. Griffin, of the Chicago Board of Trade, says, for Instance, the cwuntry foolishly fears a famine, which accounts for the present price of wheat. It's Just like a world's series. Kverybody thinks there isn't going to be any baseball played and that the price of tickets will automatically double Itself and that reassures everybody.

Mr. McCredie may be right, but he should not go quite so far: probably 64 per cent would be enough: or say taking everything Into consid eration 64 7-16 per cent. Manager Stovall was so sore when the Angels took last week's series from the Tigers that he broke all the electric bulbs in the clubhouse. He may have to wreck a power plant or two before the season is over. Grr!I The Beavers have nothing to do the remainder of the week except to go out and wallop the Angels five more times. Since everybody else is protesting against the war tax. attention may as well be called to the fact that if the tax on chewing tobacco la increased it will ruin a lot of spitball pitchers. George Helfrich and Jack Kyan will be particularly affected. The Gauchos of the Argentine are in the habit of hunting skunks, not mere ly for their fur, but for their flesh.
