IX)S ANGELES, June 17. (Special.)
Portland passed out a wallop today
that jarred the Tigers so badly that
they fell from second place into third,
the Seals passing; them by jolting
Sacramento.
Walter Small wood, wno spent the
early part of the year getting Hug
gins' sluggers In shape to bust the
American league fences, tolled for the
TTgers. A glance at the box score
would indicate that Portland splint
ered Smallwood from start to finish
with heavy smashes, but the kind of
baseball played behind Smallwood
made Bill Essick weep large, salty
tears.
Vernon only made two "boots, but
one of these accounted for four runs,
and the chances overlooked by the
Tigers would fill out a column of
figures that would shade the census
of old New York. Not that Walter
would have won, but with anything
but loose-leaf fielding behind him
he would have wound up with a re
spectable score against him instead
of the 9-to-2 beating that Portlanders
hung on his noble brow.
Rravrra Tight In Kield.
Portland, on the other hand, gave
Slats Sutherland more support than
you'd find under the Woolworth
building. Dick Cox pulled a great
running catch of Devormer's line
drive to right in the third, while
Maisel knocked the natives cold with
his sensational snag of Alcock's hard
poke to center in the fifth, sliding
on his face after the catch. There
were other similar stunts pulled be
hind Slats, who mixed some strong
pitching with this support and won in
a canter.
Al Devormer was banished from
the stage in the fourth. With Koeh
ler on second, Siglln singled to right.
Koehler fell down 15 feet from the
plate and Devormer got the ball just
as Koehler crawled to his feet and
started on home. He took a tag at
Koehler well up the line and the
Beaver backstop staggered on over
the rubber, apparently out. Holmes
called him safe and Devormer deliv
ered a great speech to the umps. The
umps came back with one finger
was on his way.
Kourth Frame Is Riot.
Not a Port lander had reached first
base until the fourth, when they all
tried to get there. Blue started this
fourth riot with a double. Wisterzil
grounded out. Blue holding second.
Maisel hit to Smith, who threw him
out at first. Blue going to third on
the play. Had Smith's peg been fast
he might have enabled Burton to get
, Blue, but it was a toss and Burton
held the ball. Schaller singled infield.
Blue scoring. Biff stole second and
third and Cox walked and. stole sec-
ond. Koehler hit to Smith, who threw
wild to first, both runners scoring
.and Koehler going to second.
Siglin's single brought up the De
vormer riot and scored Koehler.
Spranger's single counted Siglin and
Sutherland filed out.
Singles by Blu.?, Maisel and Cox
added two for Portland in the fifth,
. while Spranger's double, Blue's triple
ond Wisterxil's single pushed home
another pair In the eighth. Willie
Mitchell blanked the Beavers In the
ninth.
A walk, a hit and Morse's double
gave Vernon one in the seventh and
Spranger's error, followed by hits by
Fisher and Smith, counted! the second
and final tally in the ninth. The
score:

- of Few Boxers Who Does Not
Sbrik Any Fights.
BT DICK SHARP.
Mike O'Dowd, recent middleweight
champion of the world, is scheduled
"to reach Portland this evening at 7
clock, primed for his ten - round
battle with Battling Ortega of Oak
land, in the main event of next
1 hursday night's fistic card at the
Muwaukie arena.
The defeat of no champion, that of
John L. Sullivan excepted, ever creat
ed such a mourning wail as that of
Mike O'Dowd in Boston several weeks
ago, when, a practically unknown man
Johnny Wilson by name, toppled the
miaaieweignt King from his throne.
The reason was that Mike O'Dowd
was a champion who lived up to his
caning. He never shirked the de
mand for a match and met all comers
as fast as they asked for a meeting.
rie didn't bar Mike Gibbons, Harry
Greb, Ted- Lewis, Jack Britton. Jackie
Clark, andi a host of other top-notch
men. and angle for short-distance, no
decision matches with boys he knew
he could sotp in a few rounds.
There are few such champions ot
the Queensberry game today. Mike
didn't hide his crown under a glass
case and watch over It as something
of his own, never to be removed from
the O'Dowd family. Mike was just
such a champion as the game knew
in the days of John L.. Jack Dempsey
(the original) and Jack McAuliffe.
That Is why he has engaged in
some 30-odd fights since ho returned
from overseas as a soldier in Uncle
Sam's army. Five of these fights
were decision events, too, bouts in
which he ran the risk of losing his
title.
O'Dowd is Just reaching his prime
and as soon as he gets through his
battle with Ortega, June 24, and his
mill against Gordon McKay in Poca
tello, Idaho, July 5, he will retrace his
tracks with his manager, Paddy Mul
lins, and never take a good night's
sleep until he has forced Wilson into
a return match.
.
Some of tne local fans have im
plied the idea that Johnny Sheppard,
the English lightweight champion
who will meet Harry Schuman, the
young Denver battler, n the matn
event of the all-star Shriner boxing
show at the armory Monday night, is
an old campaigner and a grizzled vet
eran. This Is a mistaken idea, how
ever, as Johnny is not long out of his
teens and: has yet to reach 21 years
of age. Sheppard has had 107 fights
in his career, 103 of them in Eng
land and the United States. His
starts In this country were against
four of the best 135-pounders in the
world Ritchie Mitchell. Willie Jack
son, Shamus O'Brien and Eddie Fitz
Simmons.
Yesterday afternoon at the London
club Sheppard took on Stanley Willis
and Frankie Kriets, giving the fans
a good line on him. One fan re
marked that Joe Benjamin used good
judgment, alter he had watched
Sheppard sail into Stanley Willis for
two rounds. ,
Sheppard can certainly sock, and
sock hard. He came near upsetting
wiiiis ana ivriets on several occa
sions and severely punished both box
ers. That the fans will be in for a
real treat when he and Schuman tan
gle is a foregone conclusion.
Schuman worked out at the Olympic
'gymnasium yesterday afternoon, box
ing with Alex . Trambltas, Mike de
Pinto and Perry Lewis. Harry is In
great shape and Eddie Marino is con
fident that the young Denver boxer
will acquit himself with honors
against the English champion.
The boy Perry Lewis, who ' is
down to box Stanley Willis ten
rounds at the armory Monday night,
will bear watching. Lewis has as
formidable a record as any boxer that
has fought here recently. Lewis is
one of the few men in the game able
to boast a knockout over Frankie
Jones, the clever San Francisco wel
terweight. Lewis won a 20 - round
decision over Jones in Reno, Nev.,
and when they were rematched
knocked Frankie out in 12 rounds.
He also has beaten Steve Dalton,
the tough wop who fought Stanley
Willis here recently. Johnny Mc

Atlanta, 3IobiIe and Chattanooga
Xot to Play Little Rock With
Players on Roster.
ATLANTA, Ga., June 17. When
members of the Little Rock baseball
team arrived at Ponce de Leon park,
the Southern association grounds
here, this afternoon, for the sched
uled game with Atlanta, they found
the gates locked against them. The
management of the Atlanta club to
gether with officials of the Mobile
and Chattanooga clubs had announced
early in the day that no games would
be played with Little Rock as long
as Casey Smith and Tom Seaton,
formerly of the San Francisco Pa
cific Coast league club, appeared in
the Little Rock lineup.
The two players against whom pro
tests have been made to Southern
association officials were signed by
Little Rock after they had been re
leased by San Francisco for alleged
unsportsmanlike' conduct.
The Little Rock manager had an
nounced that Smith would appear in
the pitcher's box today.
Umpires Kerln and Roth, who were
to have officiated at today's game
and who appeared at the park, with
the Little Rock players, announced
that the game would stand as "not
played," Instead of being forfeited to
the Little Rock club. The umpires
ruled that both teams must be on
the ground to have the game for
feited. The Atlanta players were not
at the park.
"The charges against the players
are all hearsay evidence," Manager
Elberfeld of the Little Rock club de
clared today. "In spite of our writ
ten requests to the San Francisco
club officials for full information as
to details in the case, we have re
ceived no reply. In Justice to these
players the charges should be in
vestigated thoroughly. If they are
proven true both men should be
barred from baseball, but if unfound
ed, as they seem to be, an injustice
has been done Smith and Seaton."
BIRMINGHAM. Ala., June 17. A
special meeting of the board of di
rectors of the Birmingham club has
been called to consider the Smith
case.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 17. Casey
Smith and Tom Seaton, former
pitchers of the San Francisco club
of the Pacific Coast league, reported
as involved in a Southern association
controversy today, were dropped a
month ago from the San Francisco
team "for the good of baseball,"
President Charles Graham of the club
announced. Their release came dur
ing an investigation of alleged gam
bling at the baseball park, but Gra
ham's statement at the time said
they were not directly connected with
the gambling charges.

BOUGHT BY DETROIT
Carl Holling Goes in Deal for
Players and Cash.
HERR MAKES PURCHASE
Scout for Major Club Visits Port
land and Praises Bin and
George Maisel.
BT ROSCOE FAWCETT.
Inability of the Detroit club to get
good players out of the major leagues
is the reason ascribed by Scout Eddie
Herr of the Detroit club why Detroit
has not sent more new players to
Portland this spring and summer.
Herr wpent yesterday In Portland
and was closeted with Judge Mo
Credie for an hour in the afternoon.
He is on route from California on a
tour of the Pacific International and
Western Canada leagues ano will con
tinue on to the middle wast.
Shortly before leaving Oakland he
closed a. deal whereby Carl Holling.
the sensational Oakland young pitch
er, goes to Detroit in a deal involving
several players and cash. Two of the
players turned over to the Oaks are
"Doc" Ayers, the veteran major league
f linger, and Brubaker, a shortstop
who has been with the St. Joseph
club of the Western league for two
or three seasons.
Holllna: Goes at Once.
Brubaker hit .290 last year and
.251 in 1918.
Under the terms of agreement Holl
ing is to report to Detroit immedi
ately if Detroit sends another infield-
er to the Oaks at the same time. If
no new infielder is forthcoming Holl
ing will report to Detroit in the fall
and the Oaks will get the difference
in cash.
"What do you think of the Portland
club?" was aeked.
"Looks like a good ball club thit
needs better pitching." replied Herr.
"I like the work of First Baseman
Blue and of Outf'elder Maisel very
much. Lots of big league clube
Brooklyn, Cincinnati could use Mai
sel. George is fast, aggressive, a good
fielder and a natural .300 hitter. De
troit has one of the best outfielders
In the business or I would see to' It
that Maisel went back to the Tigers."
New Pitcher Coming.
Herr says that Detroit tried to get
several men past the waiver line for
the Portland club, but McCredie al
ways wants men that some other ma
jor leajgue club wants just as badly.
He thinks Pitcher Glasler will devel
op Into a good slab artist, despite the
bad start he got in a game last week
with Oakland. Herr says the Oaks
would have knocked Walter Jonnson
out of the box that day because
everybody was hitting.
Still another pitcher is coming to
the Beavers from Detroit within two
or three weeks. According to Herr
the new man is a college chap who
has been showing strong with the
Tigers.
Asked about the Coast league race,
Herr gave It as his opinion that the
league was faster and better balanced
than it was last year when he was
managing the Salt Lake club. He
thinks the Bees will be contenders
from now to the finish, and with bet
ter pitching might win. Vernon, how
ever, looks best to Herr because the
Vernon pitching staff Is strong.
"It's almost impossible to pass
Judgment on the teams before July,"
added Scout Herr. "By July the play
ers have struck their strides and the
race settles into a test of class. The
Los Angeles and Vernon clubs ought
to be in the first division because
they are steady, reliable teams. Los
Angeles has a crew of old heads who
don't begin to warm up until the mer
cury climbs past the mezAinlne floor
in the thermometer."
When the Salt Lake club got out
an Injunction restraining Nick Cullop
from breaking his contract and pitch
ing in the Cache Valley league it
