DEFEAT IS NOT FX EXPECTED
Ritchie Had Not Cone Oicr Four
Round Since It IS.
Benny Leonard's technical eight-round
knockout over Willie Ritchie at New
ark. N. J.. Monday night came as some
what of a surprise, and still, when one
thinks it over, he cannot figure Just
why he should be startled. Willie has
not boxed in a match of over four
rounds duration since he took a de
cision from Johnny McCarthy at Juarez,
Mexico, November 12. 191. This was
a ten-round affair, and although the
San Francisco boy made a poor show
ing, he nosed out the motorman.
irior to taking on Leonard for four
rounds in the Seal Rocks city a short
while back the ex-champion had not
engaged In a real contest since he lost
to Marty Farrell over the short route
In Oakland October 10. 1917. In the
meantime Willie had been devoting all
of his time to a worthy cause Instruct
ing bayonet fighters in the manly art
of self-defense at Camp Lewis.
Ritchie must have taken an awful
lacing Monday nielit. They used to
box with eight-ounce gloves In Newark,
and If auch is still the case Leonard
surely demonstrated his punching
power. Mike McNulty. formerly man
iter of Johnny Erlle. who is In the
city with Johnny Schauer and Billy
Ennke. says that they still employ the
pillows in New Jersey.
Leonard's victory was simply the case
of one of the greatest lightweights
who ever lived beating down a boy who
endeavored to stage a come-back and
who, like all of tl.e rest who stay out
for a time, found it harder than he
expected.
But who wouldn't take an eight
round licking for lll.nno. which was
reported as Ritchie's end? If he wants
to fight on he's still a card, for he
made, a great showing and he might
Just as well collect the coin while the
collecting is good.
If we remember rightly Willie tired
badly In the fourth round of his scrap
with Leonard in California. He boxed
two rounds before entering the ring,
for he's a slow starter, sprinted for the
first three in the enclosure, and blew
pretty badly in the fourth, being more
out of wind than anything else.
Portland fans who witnessed his
match with Ralph tiruman here during
the ISIS Rose Show will remember that
he looked far from a champion then.
Jf a fighter hopes to hold even boys
like Leonard he's got to stick with
fisticuffs, eat fisticuffs, sleep fisticuffs
and talk fisticuffs.

Many shipyard contracts have been
canceled and many war workers have
abandoned Portland, taking with them
their families, who for more than
year have claimed this city as the
home; and yet the shortage of houses
is virtually as acute as during the pe
riod of the war. and a steady stream of
people Is entering the city -and seeking
to establish themselves in homes.
Numerous reasons ae given for this
continued growth of population by men
who are keeping a close check on the
situution. the chief reason being
Influx of eastern people who have Ion
had a desire to come to the west, but
heretofore were not able to liqutdat
their holdings. During the war these
people were able to dispose of their
holdings, it Is argued, and are now
c.fiitng to the Pacllic coast with money
seeking some city In which to mak
their future home.
Real Estate Booming.
Houses for rent do not exist, say the
realty men, ith a result that people
are buying houses. The realty market
is booming, with more sales turned
during the last four months by come
operators than had been bandied by the
same firms in a period of four years
past.
"Portland is enjoying a natural
growth somewhat accentuated by the
favorable advertising this city has se
cured In the east during the last two
years." said Sydrssy K. Vincent, public
ity manager of the Portland Chamber
of Commerce. "Thousands of soldiers
have passed through Portland during
the last 18 months and many of these
men were so favorably impressed by
the climatic conditions of this city that
they became natural boosters for the
Rose City. Through their work many
people have come to Portland.
"The Chamber of Commerce has sent
out a considerable amount of publicity
matter and the requests for mforma
tion concerning Portland are coming
to our office far In excess of similar
requests last year or even the year
preceding.
Pabllc Vtllltles Note Gala.
Evidence that Portland is the mecca
for many strangers who are finding
homes here is given by the continued
Increase In service connections made
by the public utility companies In the
city. The new connections continue to
outnumber disconnections.
"Although our increase In telephone
connections still continues, they are
not as heavy as one year aro," said
J. E. Greer of the Pacific TeUphone
& Telegraph company. "The increases
are due partially to new people com
Ing to the city and to a greater number
or old residents installing telephones.
Our records show that many shipyard
workers have returned to the smaller
cities of the state and, In spite of this
loss, we continue to secure an increase
In new service connections."
Demand for houses is caused through
la readjustment, in the opinion of H. T.
nuituiiiwu, 1 csiuciik - iiiniia)(.T u Hie
R. L. Polk company, who issue .the city
directory in Portland. During the war
period. Mr. Hutchinson states, the can
vass made by his employes showed that
many houses were being used by three,
four and even more families. With the
war at an end and war work slacken
ing, many of these families have found
better living facilities and others have
left the city.
Several Thousand Leave.
"We found old ramshackle houses
utilized by as many as 12 families,
where not more than two families had
ever attempted to live." said Mr.
Hutchinson. "Our 1919 canvass has
not yet been made but our reports
show that at the signing of the armi
stice several thousand war workers left
Portland for Idaho and Montana, but
in spite of this .exodus the house
shortage situation has not been allevi
ated." Failure to construct houses to the
rormal capacity in the past Is the prin
cipal reason for the present shortage
of houses in the opinion of Paul C.
Murphy, president of- the Portland
realty board. During normal times he
states there was no overproduction of
1-ouses and when the heavy influx of
war workers came to Portland ac
commodations were not awaiting them.
Iarge Houses la Demand.
"For rent houses do not exist." said
Mr. Murphy, "but there is a large de
mand for minimum priced houses and
bungalows. There is a better de
mand for large houses than in any
time in recent years, all of which shows
that Portland's population Is attract
ing people who are coming to this city
to make their permanent homes. At
the present time there are no vacant
bouses, large or small, offered to rent
in the city, and in no time in the past
has Portland lacked empty large
houses." I
Officials of the Portland Gas & Coke
company and the municipal water 1
bureau assert that the connections of I
gas and water continue to outnumoer
the "stop service." Soldiers who
have brought their families to live in
Portland after serving the colors for a
year or more have caused some of the
demand for houses in the opinion of
some of the leading realty operators.
An active building programme this
summer is held out as the only solution
for Portland houn shortag-e, for none
Is willing to concede that a decrease
of population of the city lies in the
future and decrease in the cost of
building materials Is not looked for
by the average contractor. The entire
house-shortage situation was summed
up by one realty operator thus:
"We are securing many requests for
houses for rent, but we are not even
listing these requests. It is virtually
impossible to secure a house for rent
and we are too busy supplying the de
mands being made by prospective home
owners to attempt to handle any rental
business. Far-sighted business men
could do nothing better than construct
modern priced homes In well developed
districts of the city, for the demand
for homes Is confined to the Improved
sections of the city."
$1000 to his son. Oscar Gibler, ITral,
Mont; two lots to his son, George Gib
ler, Easton. Wash., and the residue to
his daughter, Ida, and Albert Geiger of
Aberdeen, 111.
Mrs. Gibler testified that she was
a school chum of her dead husband, but
that they drifted apart and married.
One was bereaved by death and the
other by divorce in later years and they
renewed the old friendship, resulting in
marriage. Prior to the death of Mr.
Gibler at their home, 7531 Sixtieth ave
nue, there was an extended illness, dur
ing which the Geigers came west to
live with Mrs. Geiger's parent.
Ill-feeling sprang up between the
daughter and stepmother and, Mrs. Gib
ler testified, she was forced to leave
her husband's home. She was 76 years
old and was unable to care for her
husband as was his daughter. Her
claim is that Mrs. Geiger and her hus
band unduly Influenced the father, se
curing his property by the will drawn
in July, 1917.

attorney, Thomas L. Garland, that he
