"Fighting Frankie" Murphy of Ire
land and Denver, who has been mak
ing this city his home for the last
year, and Battling Ortega, the sen
eational California mittman, are
ready for the timekeeper to clang
the gong at the Milwaukie arena to
night. Never in the history of the boxing
Came in this city have two boxers
been paired off who promised a more
lashing or gruelling go than these
stain eventers.
Murphy has been tratning as bs
lias never trained before for more
than three weeks and for the first
time since he made the Rose City
his headquarters he will enter the
ring in condition to do his best work.
in facing Ortega the fighting son of
Krin will be meeting a battler from
the word go. On top of this Ortega
will have some six pounds the better
of it in weight. This Murphy ex
pects to offset with his superior
speed.
Both of the principals are con
fident of being returned the winner,
and have arranged their future plans
accordingly. Matchmaker Kendall of
the Milwaukie arena, as well as the
commission of the suburban city, is
entitled to a good turnout for the
contest if it is only half as good
as it appears on paper. . It will be
one of the best bouts staged here in
many moons.
Besides the steller attraction, four
preliminary events between some of
the best local boys in the city at this
time have been arranged. While none
of these matches consists of main
event boys they are evenly matched
and some good bouts can be. looked
for before the headliners step to the
center of the ring.
Joe Gorman, who Is at present so
journing in the hills and valleys of
southern Oregon, may not be seen in
action by local ring fans for some
-time. The little featherweight is
wanted for several matches in the
east and it is likely that a busy cam
paign will be mapped out for him,
beginning in early September, which
will keep him going until close to
Hew Year's day.
Gorman is one of the few western
boxers who visited the Atlantic coast
that really made good. His slam
bang, aggressive style of milling made
him many friends in and around New
York city.
Danny Edwards, the flashy little
colored bantamweight, will have a
chance to redeem himself at Van
couver, B. C, tomorrow night, when
he meets Bud Ridley in a return
roaicn. x nese gamecocks met two
weeks ago in the British Columbi
metropolis, Ridley being declared the
winner after 10 rounds of fast mill
lng. ot a few of the spectators
were of the opinion that Edwards
naa tne ease.
Pal Moore, who has not taken part
in any ring contest since his four
rouna go wirn frankie Monroe at
Seattle, two months ago. is ready to
jump pack into harness and tackle
tne leading bantams of the day.
Moore very likely will make his
start with Pete Herman at Memphis,
Tenn., the latter part of this month
or in early September.
No fewer than five boxers at
present in the northwest are con
sidering a trip to far-away Australia
this fall. The offer for the quintet
has been made through Bobby Kvans,
matchmaker of the Portland boxing
commission, by Jack Munro. the
Sydney impresario. The boxers
wanted In kannarooland are Billy
Mascott, bantam; Joe Gorman, feather;
Dave Shade, welter: Bobby Harper
lightweight, and Battling Ortega'
middleweight. These boys are ali
capable mittmen who could be relied
upon to give any boxer their weight
in the world a real argument in any
number of rounds.
Additions to the families of Port
land's fistic colony have been com
ing fast and furious of late. Several
weeks ago a young Joe Gorman en
tered the lists, weighing seven pounds
and in the best of condition. Sev
eral weeks previous to that occasion
in the Gorman family, young Jimmy
Darcy arrived on the scene, another
seven-pounder. Then there has been
a young Billy Mascott. a young Wel
don Wing, and several other comers
born this year.
Yesterday another coming champ
hove on the horizon. The proud papa
of a lusty eight-pounder is Muff
Bronson. one of Portland's best
known boxers. Muff arrived home
from Missoula. Mont., Just in time
to welcome his boy in this world.
Bronson has been boxing in Montana
for several months, with great suc
cess. As soon as Mrs. Bronson is up
again and the baby getting along,
he will take the family north with
him for a sojourn in mountain states.
What the Fans Say.
91.83 Kan Rouses Mirth.
PORTLAND. Aug. 1. (Sporting Edi
tor The Oregonian.) Dear Sir: I am
an admirer of baseball and attend
many games. I am for Portland and
its club in success and in adversity.
Want it to win as enthusiastically
as any one. Any one can "hurrah"
in success, but adversity tries the
real merit of true sportsmanship.
I read with mirth the letter of
A. M. Banks in last Sunday's Ore
gonian. He states he spent last
year as a baseball patron ill. 67 and
this year J1.S5. and he regrets it.
For $1.85 he could go to the grand
stand once and the bleachers twice
and spend 10 cents for peanuts. Out
of the $1.75 admission charge. Uncle
Sam would get 17 cents war tax.
leaving $1.58 for the two clubs play
ing, the visitors getting 63 cents and
Portland 95 cents.
I understand it costs $70,000 to
1100.000 per year to operate a club
in the Pacific Coast league. If this
is correct, it would take from 70,000
to 100, 000 fans of the loyalty ol Mr.
Bankr"to his city and club to en
able it to exist.
I am not for the McCredies nor
against them. It matters little to
me who runs the club. Whoever
does I will support and be true to
Portland at all times. The players
cherish and long for support. No
red-blooded American loves a knock
er or a quitter. It was not such that
stopped the Germans and turned the
tide of war in favor of humanity.
Sincerely yours,
A. J. DUNBAR.
. Aska Honorable Funeral.
ROSEBURG, Or.. Aug. 1.- (L. H.
I- . . . . . , x
Sir: Go to it. you hysterical
un. scuttle tne snip tnai nas car
ried you to many a perfect baseball
day's end. The good, judge will meet
you 60-50, the cards all on the table,
still wearing the smile that won't
come off in spite of the personal
thrusts. We are hero worshipers to
d;iy, but don't mention tomorrow.
The McCredies have basked in the
spotlight far beyond man's allotted
time. They fought nobly. Let us
give them an honorable funeral. Fan
of the old school. J. W. TOLLMAN.
Hasn't Seen Any Stars.
I. H. Gregory, Sporting Editor The
Oregonian. Dear Sir: I have been
a fan for a long, long time, and have
always patronized the Portland team,
but I cannot see why add insult to in
jury. When the judge raised prices
at the ball park this year it was,
as he claimed, anecessity. The high
cost of securing- players the high
salaried men on his team and more
tears.
So far I have seen no high-salaried
man on his team. Not one, at least,
who Is justified In a . high salary.
Surely the young college kids don't
get it. Nor do the vets. McCredie
hasn't any veterans on bis team.
They are too expensive.
Why doesn't he get out while the
getting is good, before he is made to
face a federal court for taking money
under false pretenses. When are we
going to get our money's worth?

desk set because he did not have
room for the desk telephone. The
change was made and the desk set
was left in his home, with the under
standing that telephone company em
ployes would pick it up in a day or
two. He left it on his back porch
for six weeks, he said, and then stored
it in the attic.
Then the witness moved next door.
He found a desk set there and he
ordered it replaced by a wall tele
phone. The same thing happened in
the second case, he said, with the re-
ult that after loaving the desk set
on his rear porch for a number of
weeks, telephoning the company two
or three times to come and get it, then
going to the telephone office and
asking them to come and take their
property, all with no result, he said
he stored this Instrument in his at
tic. Desk Phone Charge Attacked.
I brought these instruments down
here because I am glad to get rid
of them and also because I think
that the people of Portland are pay
ing too much money for telephone
rates, and this is one of the reasons.
'I didn't remove my desk telephones
because of the 25 cents extra charge.
but because I didn t have room for
them. But I don't think that the 25
cent charge is justified. If I break
my telephone I am willing to pay
for it. but I am not willing to pay
cents a month to cover the cost
of breakage of other people's tele
phones."
When the hearing, adjourned yes
terday. Dr. Westervelt was still on
the stand.
Kquipment Ordered Moved.
However, it developed that before
he placed his order officials of the
Standard Appraisement company had
ordered their- telephone equipment
moved to their new offices and on
the day that this order was placed the
move was accomplished. The new
tenant was real angry when he saw
the telephones Were removed, accord
ing to the witness. '
The telephone company has a
good reputation In making removals
with expediency" the witness said.
Contracts made between the Pacific
Telephone & Telegraph company and
farmers who have constructed tele
phone lines should still be valid, ac
cording to the opinion of George J.
Hall, insurance man, who for 13
years was manager for the Pacific
company in Oregon City and Clacka
mas county.
Contracts Held Abrogated.
Mr. Hall explained that when the
line which he constructed and helped
pay for was connected with the Ore
gon City exchange, a contract was
entered into with the company for
exchange service for $5.40 a year.
This rate was to continue until the
telephone subscribers' list in Oregon
City had reached a high point and
then it was to go to $7.20 and the
next scale was about $12.
Attorney Shaw on cross-examination
developed the fact that before
the public utility act was placed on
the statute books the telephone com
pany entered Into contracts with all
subscribers and sometimes at dis
criminatory rates. He held that the
commission had abrogated all con
tracts in order to remove discrim
ination and that the law was plain on
this point.
Passing the legal side of the ques
tion, Mr. Hall maintained that the
present farmers' rate of $9 a year
was not justified and that if it was
continued many farmers would be
forced to discontinue service and thus
lose money invested in the farmers'
lines. '
Oraranlxation la Recalled.
The witness told how, when in the
employ of the telephone company, he
had organized telephone companies
in Oak Grove and Milwaukie and ob
tained a contract for service con
nection with the Pacific lines. He
also told the commission of promo
tion work carried on by himself to
encourage building of farmers' lines
in Clackamas county and that in all
such work he had given the farmer
assurance that the Pacific company
would stand behind its contract.
Under direct examination, con
ducted by O. D. Eby, city attorney of
Oregon City, Mr. Hall testified that
only the experienced telephone peo
ple could obtain the two-number
service between Oregon City and
Portland, for the reason that the op
erators gave the subscriber the long
distance operator when Portland
number was requested over an Ore
gon City telephone, and that further
the Portland telephone directories
are not distributed in Oregon City as
in former years.
To hasten the proceedings some
what, Lawrence A. McNary, repre
senting the Oregon Htelmen's asso
ciation produced a stipulation con
taining evidence which he explained
would have been given direct by Pat
Foley, manager of The Dalles hotel
if the commission desired him to come
to Portland.
Acceptance Is Agreed.
All sides agreed to the acceptance
of the stipulation which contained the
fact that the telephone rates of Mr.
Foley's hotel had been increased by
the recent order from $40 a month
to $130.75.
The long distance tolls handled by
this hotel, according to the stipula
tion, for a year preceding March 1,
1921, amounted to $1973.40, of which
amount the hotel was given 15 per
cent.
To' prove that long distance toll
rates are not bearing their proportion
of the overhead of telephone operat
ing expenses, the city called H. J.
Roake, superintendent tit the North
western Long Distance Telephone
company, to the stand. Mr. Roake
came to the hearing with a huge
bundle of tariff books, by which he
attempted to show that thnee-minute
toll rates were cheaper now than
they had been at any time in history
Pre-war toll rates from Portland to
Corvallia for three-minute conversa
tions were 50 cents, while in 1918
they were 5 cents, he- testified.
Present' rates, he said, were 65 cents
for station to station calls. 65 cents
for particular party calls, and 80
cents for appointment calls where a
messenger is required.
Charge for Hell Resented.
H. C. Haack. of 363 Fargo street,
complained because he was forced to
pay a 16-cent monthly charge for an
extension bell which he himself had
installed, at a time when he was
subscribing for Home telephone serv
ice. Mr. Haack said that he was not
objecting to paying $4.25 for tels-

phone service if it could be estab
lished that this rate was necessary
in order to Insure the company a fair
return on its Investment, but that
he did not think it right to be forced
to pay the company for something
that had cost the telephone company
nothing to install.
When the city produced J. N.
Wheeler of 1335 East Ninth street to
show that his taxes were but a few
dollars more than his telephone bill.
Attorney Shaw did a little computing
on his own account and established
the fact that yearly car fare at the
lowest possible ticket rates would cost
Mr. Wheeler $43.80 while his annual
telephone bill was $39 a year.
Others Cilve Testimony.
Among witnesses who testified that
service was not worth, present rates.
or that the present rates were too
high, included A. N. Seorre. 2221 East
Hoyt street; Mrs. John Gaffney Jr., of
Oregon City; Mrs. J. E. Morton, 724
Patton road; J. H. Holston, Mrs. Earl
Shreve and Mrs. J. C. Schorl.
C. R. Dederick, an electrical goods
agent, took the stand at the opening
of the session yesterday and testified
to the effect that electrical goods had
dropped to somewhere near pre-war
prices. He admitted that much of this
class of goods had taken some high
jumps during the war period.
The city will continue to present
witnesses today, it was announced.

VANCOUVER, B. C, Aug. 2. (Spe
cial.) A big surprise was sprung on
the track here today when Joe Un
derwood, a horse which was nearly
outlawed at Brighouse for his unruly
actions, put his head forward
stretched his neck, and, ignoring
everything around him, captured the
third race. To add to his performance,
as well as to the gratification of his
friends, he paid the remunerative sum
of $54.20 for the win, $15.10 for the
place and $11.15 for a show.
Other events were pretty evenly
divided between favorites, near
favorites and comparative outsiders,
while Sad Sara once again put up one
of his spectacular, if disappointing,
performances in the second event of
the afternoon when, after leading his
field the usual merry but fruitless
dance, he crumpled up when nearing
the winning post and finished in third
place.
Today was American day and many
visitors from across the line were in
attendance during the racing. There
was a fair crowd, although the in

it was yesterday, and the absence of

HISTQRy OF
THE FIRST
BY
Much of the history of
lC W -3 -W.-vVl-.V-.-..: V;. :jyy :;
been written. We recall the days when the picturesque prairie
schooner creeped across the landscape of the west ; and uneasy
Indians watched the encroachments of civilization. They saw in
those long trains of vagrant schooners of the paleface a menace
to their peace and their happiness. They moved their squaws
and their papooses back from the traveled trails into secure
strongholds, in preparation for the wars they knew could not be
averted. They knew the paleface's ftrestick very well now ; and
they had obtained a few. They might capture more ammunition
for their empty fires ticks, and even more firesticks. They waited
for the palefaces to open hostilities ; watching them warily from
a distance, just out of range of firesticks. They had never heard
of fire-wagons (artillery).
One day the palefaces came, with many prairie schooners,
drawn by cattle. Some of the schooners were different from any
they had ever seen beforehand the Indians were puzzled. The
white men were anxious to try these firewagons ; and so they de
manded that the Indians bring them supplies of corn and meat,
giving the Indians too short a time in which to comply. Indian
scouts surrounded the wagon train at a distance to watch it.
And then the surprise ! Noise like thunder. Noise twenty
times as big as that of a firestick; and smoke like that of a hun
dred fires enveloped the camped palefaces. They began to shoot
with wagons ! The first shot hit between two Indian scouts who
were reconnoitering. It was indeed a great surprise.
Even today the paleface likes to spring a surprise. The noise
and din created by The Spreckels " Savage " Tire Company with
their D type fabric tire ha&chardly cleared before the announce
ment of their new Cord tire told of a still greater achievement, j
The ways of modern business are truly a series of surprise
attacks. In releasing the Savage Cord a new standard for quality
tires was set at which others will shoot. Withstand the attack
this mighty tire will, for it is Built to Excel.

Considerable Interest Shown
in
. Valley League Contest.
"Considerable interest is being cen
tered on the Oswego-Sherwood base
ball grame scheduled for next Sunday
in the Willamette Valley league. Os
wego will make its first appearance
with an entirely new team. Ray
Brooks and his entire Arleta Athletic
club team have been signed by Os
wego to finish the season for them.
So far this season the Oswego team
has failed to register a win, but with
the new team in the field will give
the best of them a good game.
The Arleta boys have been playing
good ball and are one of the fastest
semi-pro teams in the city and from
now on Oswego fans are assured of a
high-class brand of ball. Last sea
son Arleta and Sherwood met for the
state title, Sherwood winning by the
close score of 3 to 2.
