Cold weather today held no terrors for the Angrels and they illuminated an otherwise dark day with a 4 to 3 vic tory over Portland. "2To Curly Brown goes the honor of twirling his mates to victory, although Curly didn't stick around to witness his personal triumph. He was let out in the sixth after a series of untoward events. Including: a couple of passes and two lucky hits. Charley Hall then went in and performed a labor of love by stopping; the Beavers. Portland scored three runs In this frame, but this was not enough, as Los Angeles had previously amassed four. Wllle whacked out, a triple with two Tone in the ninth, but the deed was not greeted with wild applause as the half-frozen fans were in no mood for extra innings. , Therefore, it was opportune that Wllle should be left at third, which he was when Farmer drove to Kenworthy. Fincher pitched in cold storage form until removed for a pinch-hitter in the sixth. Brenton then went in and let the Angels down with one walk and one hit. Score: Portland I Los Anrel B P.

CAPTAIN BECKETT JOINS Jolinny Parsons Takes Training at Officers' Reserve Camp and O til ers Are Ready to Do Bit In Service of Country. BT ROSCOE FAWCETT. War has wrecked what probably was the greatest football machine ever as sembled on the Pacific Coast the 1916 eleven of the University of Oregon. This famous squad which ran rough shod over its opponents last Fall, scoring 244 points to 17 by its rivals, and which closed its meteoric career by overwhelming Pennsylvania on New Year's day, 14-0, has enlisted almost to a man in some branch of Uncle Sam's service. Mollis Huntington, Johnny Beckett, John Parsons and Orvllle Montelth. of that dashing backfleld, are wearing governmental spangles. Johnny Par sons, the doughty little halfback who ran 45 yards through the entire Penn sylvania squad, is at the Officers" Re serve Corps training camp at the Pre sidio. John made the All-Northwest football eleven for four years. He was a star track athlete, too. Captain Beckett In Marines. John Beckett, captain of last year's squad, and another all-Northwest ath lete, joined the Marines a fortnight ago with two or three of his teammates, and is at San Francisco In training. Beckett is a wonderful physical speci men, standing about 6 feet 2 inches in his sox and weighing about 200 pounds stripped. Both Parsons and Beckett are Port land boys, proteges of Virgil Earl's Washington's High School champion squads. Hollls Huntington, of The Dalles, fullback, is in the marines with Beck ett at San Francisco. Orvllle Mon telth. of Albany, right half, went to Alaska at the close of the football season, but has since Joined the ma rines. Tegart and Mitchell Enlist. Both ends, Lloyd Tegart, of Portland, and "Brick" Mitchell, of San Fran cisco, are with the marines, Tegart at Bremerton. Wash., and Mitchell at San Francisco. Basil Williams, big tackle, who did such valiant work against Pennsylvania and later against the Aggies, has joined the Coast Artillery at Eugene. Sterling Spellman, of Seattle, right guard, is at the Officers' Reserve camp at the Presidio; Bill Sydner, the 200-pound Athena lad, is awaiting a similar summons, while Glenn Dudley, of Athena, substitute guard, already is answering the 6 o'clook reveille with Spellman and Parsons. Jake Rlsley completes the symposium of self-eacrlflaing athletes. Rlsley, all Northwest center for three years, has enlisted in the Oregon National Guard. Jake's home is at Milwaukie, Or., but he served his gridiron apprenticeship at Lincoln High School. Kent Wilson la Jttedleal Corps. All these Oregon lads are husky, strapping fellows who should make ideal soldiers of the land and sea. Even the manager of the 1818 Ore gon eleven, Roland Geary, is in unti form, Geary, a Portland bo, is at the Officers' Reserve eamp. The University of Oregon, perhaps, has furnished more star athletes to the cause, proportionately, than any other college in the country, The lemon yellow lost two star track men in ad dition to the football boys. One of these, Kent Wilson, of Portland, half miler and dash expert, is in the med ical, oorpa of the Third Oregon at Vancouver, Don Belding, ef Grants Pass, a mil runner, is with the Second Company, Coast Artillery. Tennis Stas Offers Services, Several varsity baseball, tennis, soc cer and basketball stars also are) work ing for Uncle Sara, among them Lewis Bond, the tennis star.' who. brought about the defeat of the Washington player, Murla, last Spring. Of tho numerous alumni members who have enlisted the best known to sportdom are Chester Fee. of Pendle ton, the all-around track' star; Carl Fenton, of Dallas, letter man at Oregon for four years in basketball, football and track; Elmer Loucks, of Portland, Northwest quarter-mller of renown with a mark of 48:1. and Elmer Hall, of four football teams prior to 1914. Fee and Hall are wearing the blue and red of the Marines and Fenton and Loucks are at the Presidio. Practically all cows used by Manila dairymen have been imported from Australia and are under the inspection of the bureau of health. OARGY, AUSTRALIAN PUGILIST, IS DEAD Clever Boxer Succumbs to Attack of Pneumonia at Memphis, Tenn. . ILLNESS LASTS A MONTH Ring Fighter Had Enlisted In Avia tion Reserve Corps Jnst Be Tore Taken Sick Escape From Conscription Causes Woe. MEMPHIS. Tenn.. May 24. Les Dar cy, the Australian pugilist, died at a hospital here today from pneumonia. He had been ill more than a month. Fred Gllmore and Mick Hawkins, his manager and trainer, respectively, were at the bedside. Gilmore sent a cable gram to Darcys mother in Australia and the body will be held here pending instructions from her. farcy had enlisted in the aviation reserve corps here shortly before he was taken ilL At that time he was pronounced by Captain Christie of the medical corps as the most perfect spe cimen of manhood that had applied for enlistment in this corps. He arrived in this country Decem ber 23. PTJGILISTTO WORLD SHOCKED Xoun? Australian Regarded as Great est Boxer In World. Les Darcya death shocks the pugi listic world. Heralded for two years as the greatest fighter, the Australian wonder will never be seen in action again. After beating practically every great American middleweight in Aus tralia, with the exception of Mike Gib bons, many managers strlved to get Darcys signature to a contract where by they could bring him to the United States. Owing to conscription in Australia, Darcy was not allowed to leave. Early in January he mysteriously disappeared and. after all America and Australia had wondered where he was. showed up in New Tork. having come from his native land as a stoker on an oil ship. Darcy was badly mishandled. If he had signed up to battle Jack Dillon, Mike Gibbons or some other great boxer shortly after his arrival in Gotham, he might have made many thousands of dollars before any agita tion arose about his being a "slacker." But the many tempting offers thrown his way turned the boy's head. It Is said that he became surly and hard to talk to. One offer spurned by him was of (63,000 to box Mike Gib bons 10 rounds in St. Paul or Milwau kee, with the privilege of a 20-round encounter later. But he went into vaudeville and became the man who came to New York "ready to fight them all" was stalling around, the pub lic soon soured on him. After the vaudeville tour fllwered Darcy signed to box Al McCoy. McCoy was looked upon as a setup for him and the people did not take kindly to the match. New York sporting wlters commenced to roast Darcy and the praise which was showered on him at his arrival soon was applied with re verse English. The McCoy match fell through and then Darcy signed to box Jack Dillon, but Governor Whitman, of New York, put a climax on the whole affair by barirng the boy in New York because he was a "slacker." Darcy hiked- to New Orleans and had a match with Jeff Smith all framed, but the Gov ernor of Louisiana followed in the foot steps of Governor Whitman. Other state officials did likewise. Darcy tried to make good by en listing in the United States Aviation Corps at Memphis. Tenn., and was training for a scrap with Len Row lands when taken ill. James Leslie Darcy was 21 years old. He was born in Woodvllle, N. 8. W Australia, October 28. 1896. He weighed around 165 pounds, but always claimed he could make 158 pounds, the middleweight limit. Darcy was five feet six inches high. He first sprung into world promi nence in 1914, when he lost twice to Frits Holland, of Spokane, and ob tained decisions over Gus Christie and Fred Dyer in 20 rounds. His great showing against Holland stamped him as a wonderful prospect. In 1915 he beat Holland twice, Jeff Smith, Mick King, Eddie McGoorty, Billy Murray twloe, Fred Dyer and Jimmy Clabby. Last year he beat everything that came in his path. RUPERT MAROONS' PILOT FORMER BABY J1BAVEH MANAGER 19 SUCCESSOR TO O. R.

TACTICS DECLARED BRUTAL Expulsion Means Player Cannot Re turn to Organized Ball for Five Years Sunday Games In Eastern Cities Planned. CHICAGO. May 24. Pitchers con victed of using the "bean ball." a high ly dangerous ball thrown directly at a batter's head, will be expelled from or ganized baseball as a result of a ruling by the National Baseball Commission here today. The ruling was not alone directed to players in the major leagues. but to every member of clubs operating under the National agreement. v The commission's ruling, as an nounced by Chairman August Herr mann, follows: "It has come to the notice of the Na tional Commission that certain pitch ers are being charged with using the 'bean ball,' which charges, if true, would not only be a great detriment to the game, but would result in many severe injuries to players and would be un sportsmanlike in the highest degree. Chairman Herrmann Gives Views. "The commission therefore serves no tice that If a charge of this kind is presented to It at any time against any player and if. after an examination, the same is proved, it will result In the ex pulsion of the player or players so charged from the game." Chairman Herrmann characterized the "bean ball" as brutal, and added that he could not force himself to be lieve that a pitcher would deliberately hurl a ball at a batter's head with the intention of injuring him. He de clared that such a practice might re sult fatally. President Johnson, of the American League, had previously declared that a pitcher found guilty of using the ball deserved a Jail sentence. Herrmann asserted that no specific cases had enforced the ruling, but that general reports that certain pitchers were using the delivery resulted in it. Expulsion of a player for use of the illegal ball means that he cannot enter the employ of a club operating under the National agreement for at least five years, as a petition for reinstatement will not be considered In less time. Patriotic Fund Is Aim. The commission msde tentative plans to Play Sunday games in six Eastern cities New York, Brooklyn, Washing ton, Philadelphia, Boston and Pittsburg the receipts to be donated to the Army and Navy for a war relief fund. The commission suggested that the money be given to a fund for soldiers' dependents.
