At Lo Ange;es 3, Salt Lake
Rain cancelled the Portland-Vernon
frame here yesterday. A double-header
will be played this afternoon and
tomorrow, weather permitting, on the
Vaughn street grounds.
After dropping two games in a row
the Beavers came to life Thursday
and socked their way to victory over
the Tigers, thanks mainly to the time
ly stickwork of Biff Schaller. who
registered his eleventh home, run of
the season.
The Beavers remain within strik
ing distance of fifth place and should
they drop a few games in a row they
would not be in immediate danger of
being dislodged from sixth position,
the place they now hold in the per
centage column.
Seattle continues to forge ahead
and is on its way to winning its
ninth straight series. The Seattle
club has not lost a series in eight
weeks and has been winning with
regularity over Oakland up north this
week and should not have any diffi- J
culty taking the series. 1
If Portland could only travel at
the pace it did Thursday, the Beavers
would have a lot more games in the
win column than at present. The local
club is getting to be one grand little
outfit of in-and-outers, something
.worse than just a bum team.
Walter McCredie is gathering the
bushers to the fold and by next week
will have a whole flock of youngsters
on the string. Sylvester Johnson and
Jiarnabe are due any time and McCre
die will welcome them upon their ar
rival, as he expects, to use them
both soon.
Outfielder Frank Gatewood, who has
been purchased from Spokane by the
McCredies, has, been dabbling in the
semi-pro ranks for several years,
(latewood has been playing sensation
al ball for Cliff Blankenship's Indians
this season and hitting and fielding
in coast league style.
It was reported that the McCredies
doled out 1500 iron men for Gate
wood, eo he must be goqd.
George Studebaker, a southpaw
pitcher, who resides in Ontario, Cal.,
the Beavers' 1920 training site, and
which will also be their 1921 condi
tioning camp, will get a tryout with
the Mackmen next season.
Studebaker is the pitcher who
worked for the Ontario locals and
held Portland to a 1 to 0 score. The
Beavers managed to get only five
hits off his delivery.
An Indian shortpatcher named Ben
son, who is now playing with the On
tario team, also is slated for a tryout
with Portland next season, according
to the dope. He has been hitting the
semi-pro pitchers in the south for an
average of .600, playing Sunday games
and fielding all the way between sec
end and third.
Art Koehler, Kibby Spranger and
Harold Poison may winter in On
tario this year.
Ross and Glazier or Kallio will
likely be selected for mound duty in
today's double-header against Ver
non.

WORLD TITLE BROUGHT BACK
Kuehn Developed as Champion by
Instructor Cody.
Louis (Happy) Kuehn. champion
springboard diver of the world, is the
title the youthful Multnomah Amateur
Athletic club aerial artist will bring
back to Portland from the Olympic
games at Antwerp when he returns
in September.
The Winged M diving star yester
day achieved the highest honor that
can be conferred on any diver when
he won first place in a field of the
best springboard talent in the world
Kuehn, who is only 18 years of age,
has risen rapidly in the swimming
world under the coaching of Jack
Cody, swimming instructor of the
Multnomah club. Cody took Kuehn
in charge when he was a small lad
and enrolled him in one of the Junior
swimming classes at fhe Winged M
club. Kuehn showed promise of de
veloping into a diver of champion
ship possibilities and coupled with a
willingness for hard work and train
ing he soon mastered the most diffi
cult dives. He was trained slowly by
Instructor Cody and it has only been
during the last two years that he has
showed to any extent in competition.
Last year he won the naticnal junior
title in the meet at the Multnomah
club and later went south, where he
placed third in the senior meet. At
Los Angeles Kuehn was beaten by
Clarence Pinkston of the Olympic
club of San Francisco, who placed
second to the Winged M lad in the
Olympic games yesterday. Pinkston
also nosed Kuehn out in the final
Olympic tryouts held at Chicago re
cently. The place Kuehn has reached in the
diving world may be attributed to
two things, one his willingness for
hard work and training and in the
other credit must be given to Jack
Cody, who has worked with him
through his diving career.
Louis Balbach. another Portland
boy who also received nis early in
struction under Cody, placed in the
diving yesterday, - ';ing a third place.
Balbach, ex-member of the Multno
mah club, left this city about eight
months ago to attend Columbia uni
versity at New York and since then
he has been competing for the New
York athletic club. Balbach at one
time held the Pacific northwest title
and won the national indoor high div
ing title at the Panama-Pacific Inter
national exposition at San Francisco
in 1915.

SHEPPARD
GO IS BIG SURPRISE
News of Scheduled Match As
tounds Portland Fans.
SUSPICION CAST ON BOUT
If Englishman Fights as He Did
Here and Lasts More Than One
Round Something Is Wrong.
BY DICK SHARP.
Portland boxinc fans wer- un
founded by the announcement carried
over the wires to the effect that
Benny Leonard, lightweight champion
of the world, had been mafrhrrl tt
fight Johnny Sheppard 12 rounds in
Jersey City September 7.
If Sheppard fights against Leonard
like he did against Harry Schuman
here last fall he will last about one
round." If he goes any longer it will
mean that the fight is either "in the
Dunaie' or that Leonard has
back a lot in the last year.
gone
Sheppard came to Portland reputed
to be the lightweight champion of
England and claimed a formidable
string of victories. He had fought
three of America's best men. Ritchie
Mitchell, Willie Fitzimmons ami Lew
Tendler, and failed to do anyth'ng
startling against them but attributed
hi3 showings to the fact that he waa
not yet acclimated to this country.
However, since that time he has
befn easy for Harry Schuman. Cal
Delaney and other lightweights either
unknown nationally or in the medio
cre class. This he fails to explain.
One thing may be said for Johnny
and that is that he has a good man
ager in Joe Woodman.
Right now boxing fans in this part
of the country hold Benny Leonar.i
in a good deal of respect as a fighter,
but if he lets Sheppard stay any
length of time against him that re
spect certainly will be lowered.
And another thing. This boy Shep
pard is not a lightweight. Sheppard
is a welterweight and a big one.
When he fought Tendler It waa given
out after the fight that he had
weighed 147 pounds and he looked
bigger than Schuman when they met
here. Harry is at his lightest when
he gets down to 138 pounds and is
more likely to scale 140 than 138
ringside.
The eastern fight fans certainly
have to stand for a lot of bunk, and a
Leonard-Sheppard mill is just one
example.
Portland boxing followers will not
only be watching the result of th
Leonard-Sheppard bout, but will cen
ter their attention on the outcome of
the semi-windup between Joe Ber
jamir.. lanky Portland lightweight,
and Willie Jackson, the New York
133-pounder.
Joe has been slated to meet Jack
son for several months and if he can
get over the hard-hitting New Yorker
he can consider himself "in."
