Vancouver presented a real human "crooked-arm" pitcher la the parson of "Spike" Slattery, recently releaaed by the Vernon club, of the Pacific Coast League to Vancouver.

TWO GAMES OX CARD TODAY Franklin-James John and Washing- ton-Hill Contest Scheduled. Coach White's Franklin team will meet th James John boys in one of the two games scheduled for today. Th coaches have not come to an agree ment upon a suitable ground, but In all probability it will be the Franklin platter. The otb-tr game will be played on East Twelfth and Davis streets and will be between the strong Washington team and the Hill cadets. Coach White Is having; his players out daily, practicing swatting; the pill. The boys, as a whole, are very weak bitters and unless they improve rapidly. even the good pitching; of Thompson will not stop them, from sliding- down the ladder. When Commerce held Franklin to a S-to-3 score everyone thought that Commerce was the darkhorse of the eague. Now, however, it Is plainly seen why Commerce made such a good bowing. The Franklin batters cannot hit anything but a straight ball and they're pretty lucky to hit that. As weak aa Franklin is with th willow. they should not have much trouble in defeating James John. The latter has neither a good pitcner nor good support. Big wulf may de velop Into a sensation In the box and will probably get his chance tomorrow. Washington, of course, should nave o trouble in walloping Hill. The East Siders are superior to the military school in every department and should give their opponents a good lacing. Hill played a good game against Lin coln, but the Rallspllttera are not thought to be as strong as ensiys men. Alexander Leaves for Camp. ST. PAUL, Neb., April 30.

No less a personage than Benny Leonard, lightweight champion of the world, will box the main event. Johnny McCarthy has been selected as Benny's opponent after a thorough going over of every lightweight in California. Portland boxing fans will remember McCarthy aa the boy who stopped Fred Gilbert here in three rounds some time ago.

O. Kruvosky vs. "Spud Murphy; Spider Roache vs. Johnny Arrousey; Charley Moy vs. Danny Edwards, and Willie Hoppe vs. Kid Booker. Every one of the bouts is signed and will go as billed. Every bout will go four three-minute rounds and will not be an exhiDition, but a real battle for the referee's decision. If the boys do not fight they will be put out of the ring and disgraced. Every one of the boxers on the card has donated his services absolutely free and has promised to fight the best that Is In him. Jim Coffroth and his lleuteuants have been working on the card for several months and at last have everything completed for the greatest fistic show ever staged in San Francisco. It took a great deal of time and trouble to get permission for Benny Leonard to come out to the Coast and box at the Army benefit. Benny was willing from the start, but Benny has to take his orders from the higher ups, and it was neces sary to get several United States Con gressmen on the Job before final ar rangements were completed. Unless something unforeseen cornea up within the next few days, Leonard will arrive in San Francisco with bells and ready for the fray. RITCHIE TO BOX IN SOUTH Camp Iicwis Instructor to Appear in Benefit Show in San Francisco. CAMP LEWIS, Wash., April 80 Willie Ritchie, Camp Lewis boxing In structor, left today for San Francisco, where he will appear May 10 in a big boxing show in the Civic Auditorium to raise money for athletics at Camp Fremont. Benny Leonard, lightweight champion, will appear, permission for; his appearance, as that of Ritchie's, having been obtained from the War Department commission on training camp activities. Before Ritchie left this morning lis said he hoped to obtain part of the trophies of the show for the Camp Lewis athletic fund. Considerablo money is needed for the athletic work at the Tacoma camp. It is expected, the San Francisco show will net 320,000 for athletic work. PORTLAND BOXER IS WOUNDKD Edward Heffernian V. S Fljrhlins WH1 Troops in France.

It further showed that the real test of gasoline lies in its vapor izing and combustive qualities, which can only be measured by its boiling points. Boiling points are vaporizing points. They determine the action of the gas developed from gasoline. As combustion starts with the lowest boiling points and flashes on through the gas, the continuous, uniform chain of boiling points from the low to the high is necessary for instantaneous, full-powered combustion. Eliminate one link and the power chain is broken. Only straight-distilled gasoline can have the continuous, uniform chain of boiling points. Mixtures always have "holes" in them. Red Crown is a straight-distilled, all-refinery gasoline, having the full and continuous chain of boiling points necessary for steady, dependable power: Low boiling points for easy starting, medium boiling points for quick and smooth acceleration, and high boiling points for power and mileage.
