BT L. H. GREGORY. PASADENA. Cal.. March 19. (Spe cial.) The Beavers made a mouthful of the Pasadena Elks at Brookside park this afternoon. It would have been an 8-to-0 shutout If bigr Rip King hadn't felt so strong In the sixth that he threw the ball into right field on - plays at first base twice In a row, That made the final 8 to 2, with the Beavers taking it easy in the final verses so the game could be finished before candle light. Kenworthy Changed his battery in the sixth and put fn an entire second-string infield except for Jimmy Poole, with Hale at third, Connolly at short and Ike Wolfer covering second. This combi nation hustled Cast enough to make a nifty double play in the eighth. Sin Shines In Earnest. The hot weather has come in earn est now and the good old warm sun shine is making the athletes feel as frisky as a" mess of eels. Everybody is in good shape and the pitchers couia Kimusi go nine innings, put Kenny isn't taking any chances of let ting his hurlers hurt themselves through too much ambition. In the five Innings he worked. Buck Freeman, the right-hander from the Philadelphia Athletics, unfurled some fast-breaking curves and a pip of a change of pace. Control and a slow ball seem to be his best pitching as sets. Kenny likes his actions and is counting on him as a certain first' string heaver. Lefty Crumpler is just the opposite of Freeman. He depends on a zipping fast ball with an occasional fast curve. Except when King threw the ball way in the sixth, the Elks were lucky even to foul him. He zoomed in his fa6t one with such speed that six of them whiffed in four innings. Two Scored In. Third. The Beavers scored two in the third on Sargent's walk, a single by Thorpe and Jimmy Poole's three-sack drive. They made three more in the fifth on High's walk. Thorpe's second single, drives by Kenworthy and McCann and three errors. Again in the sixth they scored two when Suds Sutherland pinch-hit a triple and scored on High's lly. Then Sargent doubled down the third-base line and came home on Poole's smash through second. Dick Cox accounted for the eighth tally by losing the ball in left for a homer in the seventh. Joe Sargent is getting his sea legs at third. The Detroiter made stops of two hard-hit grounders tooay that would have brought the stands in Portland to their feet in a frenzy of yelling. He also nicked a two-bagger down the third-base line. McCann showed lots of pepper at short. Thorpe Makes Great Catch. Besides getting a pair of hits. Jim Thorpe raced, over and hauled down a foul that mighty few outfielders would have reached. Jim doesn't look to be trying when he runs, he does it so easily, but his tremendous strides get him over the ground at an amazing- pace. Incidentally, big Jim asks where the boys get that stuff about his having retired from, professional foot ball. Jim says that as he has been in football only 15 years and it's almost an insult to intimate that he is ready to quit now. After he has made it a quarter century he say he may be ready to retire, but he isn't sure. Far from retiring next fall, he is already pulling the wires to organize the only Indian professional football team in the world. He will have sev eral old Carlisle stars on it and will call it the Larue Oorangs. - Larue is the name of a town in Ohio which will be the team's headquarters. No body knows what Oorang means, Jim included, but he says it is the name of his Airedale dog, and also the Oorang Airedale kennels at Larue, in which he has an interest. Airedale of Royal Blood. . As Jim puts it, if Oorang is a good enough name for a high-class Aire dale, the football players ought to stand it. Especially, Jim adds, inas much as his Airedale is a first cousin of President Harding's Airedale. That ought to hold the boys for a while.

STOCKTON, Cal., March 19. Con ditions which have arisen in the trainins camp of the Seattle Indians during the last few days have altered the outlook, for the opening . day's lineup. Ed Barney, outfielder, re cently purchased from the Interna tional league, is expected to replace Shulte in right field in the regular season, with the ex-Cub star being held for pinch hitting and utility pur poses. The refusal of Marty Krug to re port to camp has started a battle among three players in the camp to land the second-basing Job. Manuel Cueto, Cuban star; Tom Connolly from the American association ' and Spencer Adams, a - rookie, are all making bids for the position. Both Cueto and Connolly can play on both sides of the diamond and one will ba retained for the utility job. WALLA WALLA SETS DATES FOR SHOOT $1400 in Prizes to Be Given Away April 16, 17, 18.

It will complicate rather than simplfy the game for the spectators. Moreover, a team that has inarched down the field for a touchdown is in no condi tion to immediately line up to try for an additional point that may decide the contest." MEN DUE HERE TODAY SAN FRANCISCO-XIGHTWEIGHT FIGHTS HARPER SATURDAY, Ten-Round Bout to Feature Port land Boxing Commission's Card at Armory. . Frankie Farren, San Francisco lightweight who meets Bobby Harper of Seattle in the ten-round main event of the Portland boxing commis sion smoker at the armory Saturday, will arrive in Portland tomorrow. This was the information received by Matchmaker Hansen yesterday. Farren also sent along word that he is in fine fettle and going better than ever. Harper is on the ground and has been working daily ,at the London club. Farren has been working regu larly in the four-round game at Los Angeles and can have no alibis to offer about condition. Farren is about the best boy on the coast to give Harper a real bat tle. He is aggressive and a hard puncher, which is just the kind of a fighter to make the best showing, with, the Seattle lightweight. Far ren is always dangerous, one of those boxers who carries a sleep-producing wallop which he is always trying to get over. Matchmaker Hansen will back up the Farren-Harper bout with a,, card of four slashing preliminary bouts. The Portland boxers have all had a chance to show wKat they could do on local cards. Hansen has been fortunate in matching boys who al ways put up a battle. .There will be two six-round and two four-round bouts besides the ten-round main event. M!IL BOWLEHS VICTORS IiODGEMEN ARE DEFEATED IN SPECIAIi MATCH HERE. Teams Trying Out to Represent Portland in Northwest Tur- nament at Spokane. - In a special match on the Oregon bowling alleys yesterday between two teams which will represent Port land in the Pacific northwest bowl ing tournament at Spokane . next month, the Spokane, Portland & Seat tle railway team defeated the Web foot Camp 65, Woodmen of the World, by 453 pins. Another special match is slated for next Sunday between two other teams, which are planning on entering the tournament at Spo kane. The summary of yesterday's match follows: The principals of the Portland public school league will meet to morrow afternoon at Lincoln' high school to draw up the baseball sched ule for the coming season. As James John dropped out of the league be cause of lack of suitable material, the personnel of the league will include six teams, namely, Washington, Lin coln, Jefferson, Franklin, Commerce and Benson. A five weeks' schedule will be ar ranged. Each team will play one game a week. The contests will be played on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays on the Multnomah field. At tomorrow's meeting an official ball will be adopted and an umpire selected. Benson has been practicing for the last three weeks at East Twelfth and Davis streets. In spite of the con tinuous rain Coach Walgren has had his boys out daily sliding in the mud in an effort of perfecting their base- stealing. Benson's prospects are the best in years. Of the ten Jettermen in school, seven are regulars. With Mlsner and Roberts behind the bat the Mechanics are well fortified in that department. Watson, all-star Portland public school league pjtcher last year, will be on the mound again, and will be assisted by Feldman, who is a good hurler, too. - Benson lost a first baseman and outfielder through graduation. Brad ley, however, has been doing good work and may be played there. Grund, short; O'Brien, second, and Maison, third, are last year's regu lars. Larson and Bottler are the let- termen in the outfield. Coach Wal gren has another outfielder to de velop before he is ready to start the season. Washington's baseball team jhas been practicing indoors since the windup of the basketball season. Only three lettermen are out, but Coach Fenstermacher is confident that few more will turn out as soon as outdoor practice starts. Washington will have a corking good battery. Espey and Morrison, right-handers, and Ortman, a, south paw, are out for pitching berths. Iverson and Priestly are behind the bat and both have shown to advan tage in practice. - Clyde White, new Jefferson mentor, will hold first outdoor practice of his team today. His battery. Earl Broughton, pitcher, and George Mim- naugh, catcher, has been practicing for some time in the gym. Last year Broughton was one of the most de pendable hurlers in the league. Lincoln has not received a' practice call, but that will come some time this ' week, according to Norman Thorne, Lincoln's new baseball coach. Franklin will start practice this week. Franklin is coached by John Harkins. . ' Bruno Korhonen, star hurler of last year's Commerce team, is back In school, but as yet no receiver who can handle his slants hAs been dis covered. Korhonen is a strike-out artist and, with a good catcher, should do well. Commerce at pres ent has no coach, but will turn out forfirst practice as soon as one is selected. , WASHINGTON WRESTLERS WIS Pullman Team Defeated in Tour nament at Seattle, IS to 14.

Bezdek was very much in favor of eliminating the goal from touchdown, but was equally ve hement in-his opposition to the sub stitution of another play from the five-yard line in its place. The touchdown is the thing," said Bezdek, "so why all the agitation about the extra point? If they want a touchdown to count more than tyro field goals, then increase the value of a touchdown to seven points.

Several of the Beavers donned the olive drab. Tom Turner, assistant manager, coach and scout for Port land, and Joe Sargent, hustling third sacker, have impressive overseas rec ords. Turner enlisted as a buck pri vate and went across with the 28th division, the Pennsylvania national guard at the time. When the smoke cleared in France Turner was a full fledged major. . Dr. Earl V.

Seattle, Wash. Ruth that ,he, individually, was bigger than the game. There ar many who are of the opinion that Ruth really haa not learned his lesson, but bowed to public opinion.- which he had the good sense to understand was not to be trifled with. It is the public and not a baseball club owner who pays the tremendous salaries, and when the public refuses to pay, the high salaries will begin to come down. When men are willing to pay $50 to 100 for ringside seats to see a fight, just so long will men like Jack Dempsey be able to demand any price. When the fan sets his foot down, then we may hope to see Dempsey getting something within reason for the effort he puts forth. Sport News and Comment BASEBALLJSJHRiymG PROSPERITY IS INDICATED IN SALARIES BEING PAID. Danger Believed to Lurk in Big Pay and Opinion of Worth Play ers May Get of Themselves. SAN FRANCISCO. March 19. (Spe cial.) The prosperous times through which professional baseball is pass ing Is indicated in the larger sal aries the clubs of the country, both major and minor, are able to pay. It is amazing how the financial sit uation in baseball has changed since 1919. Immediately during and after the war things looked dark and there was considerable question as to the financing of the 1920 campaign. Those who were able to tide over this pe riod of stress found themselves be ginning with 1920 with something like a gold mine in their possession. There is, however, one condition which may mitigate against contin ued prosperity. This danger lurks in the tremen dous salaries being paid and the opin- on certain players may get of their worth. The prompt action of Judge Land is probably had the effect of curbing any idea on the part of Babe Beginning- today the annual indoor ten nis championships will be held at the Longwood covered courts. There will be three divisions singles, doubles and mixed doubles. It is expected that Mrs. Frank lin I. Uallory of New York, who won the championship last year, and Mrs. Benja min E. Cole II of Andover, runner-up, will be among the participants in ine singles. With a knockout recently credited to Fred Fulton, the heavyweight plasterer, it will occasion no surprise it mention is begun of him as a contender against Jack Dempsey. It seems that, of the four or five heavies that stand next in line to Dempsey, each in turn every so often gets his name linked In connection with the champion in the newspapers. - The annual northern California golf championships will be played on the lake side links of the Olympic club Just outside of San Francisco.

Morris Kirksey. the Stanford sprinter who Is one of the fastest runners on the coast, has volunteered to run 0 yards against a racehorse from a standing start as a feature event of an amateur circus to be held In San Francisco for a philan thropic purpose.

R BY ROBERT EDGREN, ' Famous New York Sports Critic. ALPH SMITH, the gigantic amateur boxer, whose ambition is to become king of the heavy weights, has been put flat on his back. But it took a railroad train to do it. Smith was a carpenter at a Dig movie studio until the elump hit the movie business and closed the place where he worked. Then he looked around for something that would keep him busy between bouts and pay the rent. Because of his extra ordinary physique he had little trouble getting into the Los Anceles fire department service as- a fireman, and was attached to a hook and ladder company. "When Smith had been in the depart ment a week he was called out to a fire. The huge hook and ladder truck was tearing along when an electric train, running at full speed, struck and entirely demolished it. One man sitting beside Smith was killed. Another had his skull frac tured and was badly smashed. Ralph found himself lying in the wreckage 50 feet from the place of tne colli sion. He couldn't move. When he wan taken to the hospital it was found necessary to plaster a few ribs that had been scrambled a 'Dit ana put him in a cot for a few weeks, but he apparently had no permanent injury. - The tunny ining aooui n jp Smith, "is that I saw the crash com ing and knew I had to take it. I thought it was the long count, sure. But It didn t even knock me uncon scious for a moment. After this I don't care what hits me." Ralph hopes to recover in time to competeln the national amateur box ing championships next month. V The baseball teams are scattered throughout south and southwest. This is the first and most cheerful sign of spring. It's a tough life these base ball babies lead. Along late in Feb ruary or early in March they're forced by the dire necessity of their calling to leave the happy days in slush and snow behind, cut out the dear old blizzard weather, stop hugging the steam radiators and go south some where. There they are annoyed by the siugius oi tae birds, have' to smell1 the odors of the flower-covered prai ries and cast their eyes over the green grass, violets, poppies and other things that are so hard to look at. 1 They are deprived of the pleasure of bundling up in heavy overcoats and wearing goloshes. If they have any frozen noses they get thawed out. The blooming sun gets them all red and destroys that artistic winter pal lor they're so fond of. And all they can find to do to kill time is play ball out in the warm sunshine, loaf in the lobbies when there isn't a crap game on, and eat at the best hotels at the clubs' expense. No wonder so many baseball play ers leave baseball and go back to the good old pick and shovel. 4 - Jimmy Wilde says he Isn't retiring from the ring and that he expects to fight several years more and then' step down undefeated. So far, Jimmy Wilde hasn't found a man of his weight who could give him a real battle. The only fighters who have slugged with him on even term-s or better were many pounds heavier. The only man who beat him badly was Kid Herman, then bantamweight champion. Herman failed to make the weight agreed upon, at which Wilde was giving him several pounds advantage, and came in overweight. Wilde went on with the match rather than disappoint the crowd, but he was giving away too much and was knocked out. Billy Brady seems to be bidding for recognition as "premier boxing impressario." according to accounts. Well, Bill did that a quarter of a century ago. Back In the 90s Bill managed Jim Jeffries, and before thaj he had to do with other other fight ers of less ability, among them Jim Corbett. He took a whack at every thing, from managing to matchmak ing and did fairly well at It. Then, as a successful theatrical producer, Brady cut out fighting con nections for a long time, and didn't like to be reminded of his ring career. His new interest in boxing began with hi3 association with Mr. Coch rane of England, now one of the big gest theatrical producers, but equally busy promoting boxing and wrest ling championships. The English al ways associate sport and business, and never had a notion that it might be undignified for, a theatrical pro ducer to run- a ring figM ' vCopyngiil liy 1b Bt.l Syndicate, iacj I Those doubtless sincere and well intentioned person who, a short time ago, were putting . Gibbons forward as a contender salnst the world's heavyweight champion, Jark Prmp sey, are not likely to conMnue in this idea for the reawon that, in- the result of ine recent Grr-b match, they would get scant hearing. There was a time when a number of ring followers were of the opinion that Gibbons could hve dl.-rposed of Georges Carnentler. It Is nurfitlon able whether this opinion still is ad hered to. At all events, a Glbhons Carpentier match would hsve hern one of the best any promoter could have put on, and yet this fistic Muni seems to have been totally ignored while people were discussing wholly uniiKeiy propositions. In the light of what has happened, we now are likely to be recaled with suggestion of a Greb -Dempsey match. What would happen to Greb In the event that this abmird match were staged, would he exactly the uncomfortable and annoying epIsnrlH in which Carpentier of France flu ured one July afternoon at Jersey City. Greb already Is talking about Is suing a challenge to nempsey. if Greb has any friends at all tliey should advise him to forget any sin-ii idea. The American public has no de sire tfl see another slaughter. Thei Is nothing interesting nor pleasant in deliberately seeing a good but smaller man beaten and bloodied by a superior physical fighting ma chine. Thus things are revolving back t the almost tbread-bure subject of matching the negro. Hurry Will, against the champion. There seemn to be one great stumbling block la the way of this mixed colur en counter, and that Is the purse de. manded by Dempsey to get Into the ring. It is almost a certainty that any promoter who would venture to pay Dempsey the fortune he aka, would be forced Into bankruptcy. The American public is not likely to l willing to pay the fancy prices which the promoter would be compelled to ask In order to get the money for his purse. At best, when Jlghter men go out of their claws' to battle againxt heavier men, the results are unsatis factory and generally disastrous to the smaller man. As good a fighter as Stanley Ketchel fell before Jack Johnson, and there was not a man at the ringside who did not pity the plucky Ketchel. But persona seeking intertaiflment are not looking to have their pity aroused. There are mighty few Bob Fitzslnimon.ies. Ring history furnishes us with few. If any, parallels to this remarkable ring man. A moment's consideration In a com parison of either Gibbons and Greb with Fltzsimmons must make clear the futility of the aspirations of either of the men mentioned. If ring history does not teach us anythlnx, there seems to be but little sense in recording It. There seem to be many promoters imbued with a sufficient greed to put on a slaughter merely to make a sort of Roman holiday without giving a thought to the fact that he maybe giving the port a black eye from which It take a lone time to recover. guaQimJitoi II again II -s-lev $ TWes II Jji I U about then XfJjA A youlJ lik- - 'r-JV IcvJL Twenty for ffMlfegTil y wweNwrirR ;C .
