At San Francisco Oakland 8, San Fran cisco J. At- Vt -nonJffo raroa. Salt Lake team traveling;. BY HOSCOE FAWCETT. Manager McCredle, of Portland, filed & protest midway in yesterday's open ing frame between the Beavers and Los Angeles, but the protest went to seed, for Portland defeated the Angels, any way. 4-2, as a result of some steady work In the box by Byron Houck. Bill Kenworthy, who is bossing the Angels during the illness of Frank Chance, elected to start a southpaw, Charley Brown, against the Beavers. While Brown got off to a 2-0 lead, he couldn't stand the prosperity. In the third inning, after Hollochefs single, he grew exceedingly philanthropic, walking two men and hitting Williams with the bases loaded, forcing in a tally. Pitcher Home Genenis, Too. Hogg replaced Brown midway In the tempestuous inning, but what's in a name. The big right-hander proved fully as generous as his predecessor, for he hit one and walked another and lorced two more runs across before anybody had time even to say, "Buy a liberty bond." These three runs salted away the same for Portland. Boss McCredie's protest seemed to strike the 2000 fans as rather an un usual and interesting procedure, so a little explanation may "be welcomed. Walter Mails;- the .well-known left handed stormy petrel, entered into Rome sotto voce argument with TJm Iire Held while on the third-base coaching line, and Held Immediately thumbed him to the bench and later out of the arena entirely. Io and behold, however, Malls ap peared In the warming-up exercises a couple of innings later.. Umpire Held immediately ordered his exit again, and this brought forth a loud yelp from Mack and a heated argument at the home plate. Manager McCredle Riled. At the conclusion of the. autopsy Mack strode toward the press box, belching smoke from every nostril and kicking the unoffending turf with his rusty spikes.. '.-i ' "They've been 'pulling- that stuff on me all year, and I'm going to find out if I'm right or they're right." declared the Portland boss. "I protest this game." Rule 67, covering banished substitute players, reads: "The captain of the team, however, shall have the privilege of sending to the clubhouse for such substitutes as are actually needed to replace players in the game." Tht rules also state" that an umpire's Judgment shall not be questioned, so ine case goes to the jury boiled, down to the question of whether or not Mails sictually was needed in the "bullpen" at that particular time. ... Angels' Iad of Short Duration. The. Angels obtained a two-run lead off Houck in the third inning. Bobby Iavis singled to left and advanced to third on Maggerfs two-bagger to left center. Iavis scored on an Infield out and Kenworthy thumped Maggert home on an infield drive that appeared rather too hot for Charley Hollocher to gauge correctly. Portland Jumped Into the lead.' 3-2, In the:. last half of the third on the aforementioned philanthropy of Brown and Hogg, and clinched the engagement Siy scoring another run in the seventh on Terry's error and a single by Will iams. Kenworthy benched Terry in the eighth in- favor of a pinch-hitter and Itoderick Vaughn held down short for one inning. Fournier made his bow at first base hut couldn't fathom Houck's snappy delivery.

BERRY SERVES NOTICE Players Will Give Final Answer To- day Oaks Also Are Notified. Darmody Instructed to Deny Four-Club League Talk. SAN FRANCISCO. June 12. (Spe cial.) Friday, June 15, may prove to be an unlucky day for baseball in the Pacific Coast League. On that day salaries of players are to be cut and as a number of players say they will not stand for a reduction some swift changes are expected. Henry Berry notified the players of the San Francisco club of the proposed reductions and today the ball tossers met in the clubhouse to consider the matter. As a result of the meeting they sent Berry a round robin which reads as follows: "We, the members of the San Fran cisco club, have decided not to take a cut in our salaries. The reason is that we cannot see where s. cut in players' contracts, which were signed by us in good faith, can save the league. Three Seals) Do Not Mfirn. ' The document is signed by Roy Cor h an. E. J. Erlckson, . Schaller, Justin Fitzgerald. Charles Pick. Jack Calvo, J. C Oldham, P. J. Dougherty, Charles A. Baum. George J. Maisei. Ray McKee, Del Baker and Jerry Downs. No notices were sent to Phil Koerner. first baseman, nor to Len Hollywood and Casey Smith, young players. Koerner is getting $275 a month. Hollywood and Smith get only 1200 each a month; so their pay will not be affected. After giving the round robin the once-over. Berry dictated the follow ing letter to be read to the players: "You have seen fit not to assist me in the crisis of the league and as a consequence I have to accept your ulti matum. Business is such that it is necessary for me to make a retrench ment and following that I will have to make arrangements as soon' as pos sible to supplant a number of you by other players who will be willing' to work for a salary that the business is able to pay." Situation Is) Talked Over. After the game all the players called on Berry at his office and he made them a speech, setting forth that the league is in a very shaky condition and that It is absolutely necessary to cut down running expenses. The play ers said they would think things over during the night and would meet again tomorrow morning and then give Berry his final answer. Cal Ewlng met the players of the Oakland club this mornin'g and out lined the situation to them. They said they would mull over the situation and give him an answer tomorrow. Ewing said he could actually save money by locking up his gates for the. rest of the season. ' ' Berry does not talk of closing down. however. He does say that any player who refuses to stand for a cut will be given the privilege of making a trade for himself. Brn Will Oppose Cats. The members of the Salt Lake club were in town today on their way -to Los Angeles. These boys have not re ceived official notice of the salary cut as yet but they know all about it. A majority of them said they would not stand for it.' . Tom uarmodr gave out a story at Ijos Anireles Monday that it might be necessary to toss Portland and Salt Lake out of the circuit .and go along with four clubs. Today President Baum sent Darmody a wire asking him to officially deny that any such thing was proposed at the meeting held in San Francisco Wednesday night of last week. Baum says such a proposal did not come up at the meeting and ootn Berry and Ewlng say the same thing. YANKS NOSE OUT SOX FECK1NB.UGH SCORES WISIG RUN IX 12TH FRAME.

At least, this is the word brought north by John Powers, president of the Los Angeles club, who is on his first trio to Port land. ; It isn't a question of dropping any one" or two cities this time," said Owner Powers. "Attendance has been poor all around . the circuit and the entire league will have to suspend if things don't pick up or if we can't prune out expenses to some extent. "While the players have greeted our first ultimatum about reducing salaries with a loud squawk. I think they will see the wisdom of this course after a little due delibreatlon. ' "The players will either have to co operate and stand for a slight reduc tion in salaries or we will be forced to close up altogether for the year." added the Los Angeles visitor. "We don't want to close bur gates. All the dlrotora stand willing to keep the game going at a small loss, but not while matters, are going as they are now." m .. President Powers served his notice to the Los Angeles players when they boarded the train at Oakland Sunday night, and has had no word from them yet as to what attitude to expect. "Kopecks" Kenworthy, captain of the Los Angeles club, when asked what his players Intended doing, would only say that nothmlng had been decided on. Kenworthy feels that it is an Injustice to the players and that many of them will refuse to stand for the cut. PORTLAND HORSES' Villi GOOD SHOWING MADE AT OOXDOS BY S. L1XDSEPS STABLE.

MUFF BRONSON TO APPEAR Lightweight . Makes Special Trip from Winnipeg' Jack Fahic, Manager of Trambltas, Is ' Scored! by Joo Flanlgan. To reach Portland in time to box at the American Red Cross benefit show Saturday night on Multnomah Field. Muff Bronson, clever Portland light weight. Is rushing half way across the continent from Winnipeg, Man. His opponent is still to be settled upon. The only logical boy in his di vision In the city is Alex Trambltas. but Trambltas' manager. Jack Fahie, doesn't seem to be much impressed with the idea of having his protege box for nothing, even at a Red Cross enter tainment. Instead of coming out cheerfully with a ready acquiescence, Fahie is quoted as refusing to let Trambltas box anybody managed by Joseph Flanl gan. Curiously the fans don't care who manages either Bronson or Trambltas. They want to see the two lightweights exhibit their skill. - Flanlaran Issues Statement. Manager Flanigan Issued the follow ing statement last night: "I think we should all do everything in our power to aid the -war relief funds. That is why I agreed so readily to permit my boxers to appear in this entertainment gratis. I am-willing to let Weldon Wing appear agalnrt Tram bltas if Trambltas does not weigh to exceed eight pounds moVe than Wing does. Wing weighs only 122 pounds, so this will permit Trambltas to appear in the ring weighing 130 pounds. If he weighs more than 130 pounds it would not be fair to Wing. In that case I would expect Trambltas to appear against Muff Bronson. "Fahie Imagines he has some differ ence with me but petty differences should not be allowed to interfere in such times as these. I do not believe his attitude will be a popular one. Trambltas has never boxed anybody of any ability except Johnson, and the best he got there was a draw. Both my boys have been boxing all-comers, and if there is to be any dictating it shouldn't be for Fahie to do it." Itrenson May Box Trambltas. Flanlgan finished by throwing a real bombshell into the Fahie camp. Bron son is scheduled to box Dick Kendall in San Francisco on June 23 for the Coast lightweight championship, and Flanigan had Intended leaving for there Immediately after Saturday's Red Cross exhibition. "However."" added Manager Flani gan. "If Fahie Is so anxious to dodge Bronson in favor of Joe Gorman or some other soft one that the fans don't care about, I ' will remain over and agree to permit Bronson to box Tram bltas June 21 or 22 10 rounds at Van couver Barracks, the entire proceeds to go to the American Red Cross. "I am sure the Government will agree to give up its percentage of the gate receipts, so now. let's see who is the 'slacker.' The same conditions go for Wing provided Trambitas will make 125 pounds. So now.. Mr. Fahie, let the public of Portland judge who is mercenary in the boxing .. industry around Portland." : Benefit Boot la Saturday Mk'I.

NEW YORK SEES CHANCE Development of Shipbuilding Sites Strongly Crged. NEW YORK, June 6. offered a great future -New York Is as a world's shipping center. "Few public projects," said Direc tor W. H. Allen, of the Institute for Public Service, "offers such direct and general rewards to real estate as would the development of Jamaica Bay and East River sites for shipbuilding. "Patriotism as well as good busi ness calls for such development be cause New York has advantages that no other community can equal at this National crisis. We have . literally on tap the man power, electric power, related industries, water and ralroad transportation, desirable location in fact, all facilities for assembling raw material, labor and supervision. "If New York does not take steps to make these facilities available to the Nation the country's shipbuilding must progress more slowly. Sections which jump into the breach now to help the Government and its allies by providing ships quickly and extensively will eubtracO from advantages which New York has the right to enjoy be cause of its superior position and fa cilities. The accommodations built now for men drawn largely perhaps from NeWiYork and other businesses neces sary to care for their needs will after the war compete with New York for business, tenants and skilled labor. "Because of delays. New York hau already lost a number of very large enterprises. How sites such as New York has available, such aa lands un der water, might quickly be put to use Is shown by the Ford site in Newark Bay, which has many disadvantages, and doubtful if any advantages as compared with New York City sites on Jamaica Bay and East River, yet Mr. Ford's promptness in offering It to serve the Nation has already led to preparations that will mean fully com pleted ships by early Fall. "Nowhere else can the National Gov ernment's worK be prosecuted at so low expense and with so little disturb ance of present conditions. By actlntr promptly now in the Nation's interest New York will find itself at the end of the war with these vast areas devel oped and used. If it continues to neg lect ihese opportunities these areas will be undeveloped and unused and New York placed at a permanent dis advantage."
