BILH. GREGORY. MODESTO, CaL, March 28. (Spe cial.) Duffy Lewis is not asking for sympathy yet, but here is a little of it for him. He probably will need all the sympathy he can get before this hectic baseball year is ended Looking- over his Salt Lake club now training here, this chronicler cannot see any other prospect than a tough summer for Duffy. Baseball miracles happen sometimes, but they don t happen to a seventh place club of one campaign that weakens itself as a preparation for the next. Except in three places the 1922 Bees are 1921 Bees all over again The changes are at third base, first base and behind the plate. The third base change is a betterment. Oscar Vitt is one of the great fielding third-sackers of baseball, whereas Don Brown, though a murderous slugger, really was not a third base man at all but an outfielder trying to play third. But at first the :club will be thereby weakened, and also behind the bat. Byler Is Holdout. Butch Byler, the Bees' best catcher last year, is a holdout. Byler would compromise, but for some reason Lewis and President Lane won't talk to him. Lane has told him to make a deal for himself if he can, and has signed Fat Anfinson to take his place. Anfinson wasn't good enough to hold the job of third catcher for San Francisco. How can he replace he hard working and efficient Byler? Tim Jordan was injured and helped the Bees little at first base in 1921 but to succeed him the best Salt Lake has done is to pick up an inexperi enced "busher. Thompson from the Steel league was tried, but found too slow, so now a fast kid named Cart wright has been obtained from San Francisco, which thought him prom- ising, but evidently not promising enough to hold. He has had no ex perience in league baseball. One addition has been made to the club, Maurie Schick having been pur chased from San Francisco to alter nate with Lewis, Wilhoit and Strand in the outfield. Schick Declared Faxt. Schick has been with the Seals three years. Though never a regular he is a fa'st gardener and smart hitter. He batted .296 in 176 games last year. The best thing to be said about the Bees is that they will have great hitting strength. By using Jenkins behind the bat, Lewis can present a lineup n which six men, exclusive of pitcher, hit .300 or better on paper. They are sure to make many runs, especially in the Salt Lake park. Nevertheless, hitting alone doesn't win baseball pennants. The Bees had virtually the same batting power last year, yet finished seventh. Lewis will have a fair outfield, though not a fast one. with himself In left. Strand and Schick in right and AVilhoit in center. Lewis is a veteran of the world-championship-winning Red Sox. He dropped to the minors after more than ten years of campaigning because the pace had dimmed his batting ee, but no sooner donned a Coast league suit than it came back. He hit for the terrific total of .403 in 105 games. He can't expect to duplicate that again, though he should be a certain .300 slugger. Wilhoit Hard Hitter. Wilhoit is an outfielder of the mauling, long hitting type, but he sometimes wonders what it is all about. He is rather slow and liable to injury. He hit .339 in 176 games. Taul Strand is an ex-southpaw pitcher whose arm went bad. Just a fair outfielder. Hit .314 in 157 games. In the infield is the aforementioned Cartwright at first, Paddy Siglin at second. Sand at short and Oscar Vitt at third. Vitt has had romantic baseball life. He went up 11 years ago from San Francisco, and for ten seasons had been accounted the best fielding third sacker in the majors. He was valuable as a hitter, too, until his eye failed him two seasons ago. Hit only .190" last year. Said to be fast as ever though, and as uncannily agile in fielding. Here at Modesto they aver that in training camp games he has been rapping the pellet hard enough. Maybe he will have a batting comeback like Duffy Lewis. - Siglin Slakes Good. Siglin at second is about the only ballplayer Walter McCredie ever traded who had the laugh on Mc Credie for trading him. Walt a year ago swapped Siglin to Salt Lake for iiarty Krug. The latter was sup posed to be by far the better second eacker, harder hitter and all that. Siglin had just had a couple of hard seasons in Portland. Krug lived up to advance notices, but Siglin no sooner felt the ground of Salt Lake beneath his brogans than he not merely went wild, but loco. He was the demon player of the Coast league last year. He batted .344 in 180 games. . He led the league In runs scored, 156; in home runs, with 22; in doubles, with 67. He fielded unbelievably. Siglin in 1921 was a baseball miracle. He certainly cannot better that stride this vear. and will do the impossible if he ties it. He is not fast and not especially smart as ballplayers use the term. Sand at short is a fast, hustling young player, who rose last? season from busher to near star. He hit .ato In 180 gamos and was a steady fielder. InrielN Is Good. Excluding first base, the Bee in field, next to its hitting, is the club's strong point. The Important second base-shortstop territory is well pro tected. But the club looks miserably weak behind the bat. Joe Jenkins will be first catcher. He is a capablj back stop when his arm is right. It went bad last year and he could not throw to second. Now it is said to be strong again. If it is not. Salt Lake is in a sad way. Jenkins hit .337 in 94 games. Fat Anfinson will be his first as sistant, and for relief work the Port land boy, Frisco Edwards, will be used. That combination is not much. The Bees will lack reserve strength and no Coast league club these days can afford to be without strong re serves. A busher at first will be matched by busher utility infielders. The plural is used too optimistically. There are two now, tut probably will be only one after May 15. and that one a 17-year-old- boy. His name is Percy Chavez and he is Salt Lake's phenom." Boy to Be Kept. He comes from San Leandro, CaL Lewis figures him too young and too slight to help the club much except in absolute emergencies but he will be -carried to get him Experience. There'll be heavy weather for Salt Lake if any regular gets hurt. Tony Lazzeri, the other utility infielder at present, who probably will be let go, also is a kid. For'pitchers Salt Lake depends on the 1921 staff plus Sam Lewis, the San Francisco spitballer. Indeed, from the number of players the Seals have sent the Bees this spring one would suppose that Charley Graham, Dr. Strub et al. regard Salt Lake as a San Francisco farm. Maybe they do. The regulars will be Lewis, Rudy Kallio, Gould, Reiger and Thurston, right-handers, with Bromley as the southpaw. Poison, Blaeholder, Owens and Thorlander, all right-handers, will fight it out for the other one or; two berths, and Poison will stick if he bears out the promise of his pre season flinging. But Poison has been like that before. He looks good at the start, but lets it go at that. He really does seem to be taking h'mself j seriously this season. Kallio tonka Good. Our other old Portland friend, Rudy Kallio, is getting away to a great training camp start. Whether he can hold it is the question. Kallio is the prize, enigma of baseball. He has a wonderful curve ball, a fast ball that players rave about, and a fancy change of pace everything a pitcher needs, you might say, so far as stuff is concerned. Yet year after year, with never an exception, he gets away mis erably, can't seem to win at all, then just as he is about tagged as done he starts a winning streak and looks like the wonder of the age. He did that for Portland in, 1920; he did it for Salt Lake last sea: n after being traded in July. If base jui seasons were played backward Kaiiio would start with a rusn and nnisn witn a intra, ne uea just the reverse. Right now the Salt Lake camp is wildly excited about Kallio's hurl ing. A couple of days ago he turned back a club of old leaguers with two hits and . no runs in seven innings. Perhaps at last Kallio will start right. Three Twirlera Spitball Men. Gould, Reiger and Lewis all are spitball pitchers, Reiger and Lewis being veterans. Lewis' big trouble always has been lack of control. Reiger won 13 and lost 12 last sea son, a fine showing with a ball club like Salt ' Lake, and Gould won 18 and lost 20. Bromley is juct a fair southpaw. Thurston is a smoke-ball pitcher who looked wonderful in 1920, then lost his arm, and did little rn 1921. Blaeholder is the most promising of the rookies. He is a strapping right-hander with plenty of stuff and some knowledge of how to use it. Southpaw pitching won't bother the Bees much, for the only left handed clubbers on the team are Cartwright, the first sacker, and W11-' hoit, who can be replaced by Schick, a right-hand hitter. On the other hand it has few hitters who can beat out little dumps to the infield. Left handers are much faster at that, for they have the advantage of a full stride. We repeat: Duffy Lewis is likely to need sympathy before the baseball season of 1922 is ended. And sym pathy is about all he will get. DOUBLES BOWL 1276 SCORE II. Lunge and f. Schielke Go Into Sixth Place in Standings. TOLEDO, March 28. H. Lange and F. Schielke of Madison, Wis., bowled a score of 1276 in the doubles event of the American Bowling Congress tournament here today and went into sixth place in the standings for the only change that took place in any division all day. Numerous other good money scores were rolled by the various competi tors but they were not large enough to reach the lists. H. Lange of Madison, Wis., was the high scorer for the day among the individuals. He collected a 668 string, which is four pins below the figure owned by the present holder of tenth place. Second high of the lot was H. Horton of New York, with 654. LEAVIS READY FOR DEMPSEY Wrestling Champion Offers to Meet Pug for $50,000 Side Bet. POXCA CITY, Okla.. March 28.

Cool Weather Sets Back Team Only Consolation Is That An gels Are Suffering, Too. PASADENA, Cal., March 28. (Spe cial.) Everybody hit today in the regular-Yannigan game of the Beav ers this afternoon, which resulted in the fourth consecutive victory for the regulars. The score was 12 to 6. Roy Crumpler went the entire nine innings for the regulars. Fourteen hits were garnered by the Yannigans from his offerings. Biemiller straddled the mound for the first six innings Tor the Yannigans, and was ham mered all over the park. Walberg finished up in no better fashion. Tom Turner calls Biemiller aspeedy pitcher. This hitting business either means that the team is develpping wonder ful batting prowess or that the pitch ing staff doesn't stack up with the rest of the outfit. Ross and Crumpler are the only twirlers that have gone nine innings so far. The cool weather has been a setback in the work of the Beavers and perhaps it has ham pered the pitchers more than the rest. All members of the Portland team have become sun worshipers.- The only consolation is that the Angels are no better off. It looks like Lefty Leverenz and Rowdy Elliott would start next Tues day against Los Angeles. Rowdy has rounded into good shape, and Leverenz looks fair to start against the string of left-handers in the Angel lineup. Tex Gressett looks good for the opener at center field. He has shown remarkable speed on the bases and has improved in his fielding ability. Jim Thorpe will not start next week. High will hold down left field, since the big Indian has a sore wing. . Kenworthy didn't play today, ex cept to pinch hit for Biemiller. Looks like the duke's famous rubber shirt, is due for a rest now. He hasn't used it for several days, and it will prob ably hang on the ;hook until excess avoirdupois again threatens to de stroy the symmetry of the manager's figure. The Beavers will go to Los Angeles Saturday night, and work out on the Angeles lot Sunday and Monday in order to get the hang of a real dia mond. TOROXTO SEPTET WIN TITLE Vancouver Defeated, 5 to 1, In Fifth and Deciding Game. TORONTO, March 2. The St. Pat rick's hockey team of Toronto, won the fifth and deciding game of the Stanley cup world's championship se ries here tonight, defeating Van couver, 5 to 1.

Denenny made it five for Toronto when he found the net in the second period; Adams brought in Vancouver's lone goal after ten min utes of play in the final period. The game gives the eastern team the world's hockey championship. Each team had won two games pre viously. THRILL GIVEX TRACKSTERS Pennsylvania Team Arrives in Lon don After Bit of Adventure., NEW YORK, March 28. The relay team which the University of Penn sylvania has sent to England to meet Oxford and Cambridge in a four-mile race at Queens club, April 8, has ar rived in London after a bit of adven ture, said advices received here to day. During the crossing on the Aqui tania. Larry Brown, captain of the American team, was robbed by a steerage passenger, who later at tempted to commit suicide by hanging and afterward was turned loose in Cherbourg because none wished to stay behind to prosecute him. Mrs. William Hale Thompson, wife of the mayor of Chicago, and Lawson Rob ertson, coach of the Pennsylvania team, also were robbed. Martinez, 118 Pounds; Jessick, 135, and McDonald, 158, Fig ure on Beating Class of Coast. The first out-of-town entrants in the Pacific coast amateur boxing and wrestling meet to be etaged at the Heilig theater tomorrow and Friday under the auspices of the Multnomah Amateur Athletic club, arrived yes terday. They were three boxers from the Los Angeles Athletic club. The trio are Manuel Martinez. 118 pounda Julius Jessick, 135 pounds, and Hugh McDonald, 158 pounds. They figure on wiping up the Pacific slope in their respective classes. They are accom panied by DeWitt Van Court, dean of Pacific coast boxing instructors. Here is what Van Court had to ay about his three proteges: "Martinez started boxing for the Los Angeles club six months ago and in that time he has had five bouts, winning all but one. On two occasions he defeat ed August Gotto, the champion ban tamweight of southern California. The only bout he lost was a four round decision to Julius Jessick. Mar tinez is the hardest hitting and fast est bantamweight developed in south ern California in years. Jesaick Touted Highly. ' No boxer in the Los Angeles club" has made the rapid strides in im provement as Jessick has. Seven months ago he started against Johnny De Rita and lost a three round decision. In his next bout he lost to William Zukle, the feather weight champion of southern Cali fornia. Since these defeats Jessick has improved to such an extent that neither De Rita or Zukle would be a match for him. Jessick is not lack ing in any of the phases which go to make an amateur champion. He is fast, clever and packs a wallop that would be a credit for a middleweight. "McDonald Is the best middle weight to fight under the Los An geles, club's colors in years. With the footwork and speed of a lightweight, combined with a knockout in either hand, he will be sure to give a good account of himself in the Pacific coast meet." Spokane to Send five. So much for the Los Angeles en tries. But they are not the whole show by any means. In fact, there will be from 85 to 90 ambitious young wrestlers and boxers striving for honors in the coming tournament. According to T. Morris Dunne, secoe-tary-treasurer of the Pacific North west association, this is the largest number of boxers and wrestlers ever brought together in Portland in an amateur meet. California is represented by en tries from the Los Angeles Athletic club and Olympic club of San Fran cisco. Spokane is to send five Pacific Northwest association , champions. Washington State college is sending along three wrestlers and there will be two boxers from Tacoma. Both the Oregon Agricultural col lege and University of Oregon will have men entered while the lists will be swelled by a small army of boxers and wrestlers from the Portland clubs. The B'nai B'rith Amateur Athletic club will have 11 entries, in cluding eight boxers and three wrest lers. The Multnomah club is putting in 17 boxers and at least 20 wrestlers. Preliminaries Start Tomorrow. .The preliminaries in the elimina tion contests will start tomorrow night at the Heilig at 7 o'clock. The wrestling elimination t matches will come first. There will be about five wrestling matches in the prelimi naries and these will be followed by about 17 boxing bouts, all of which should furnish enough entertainment for one evening at least. Starting at one o'clock Friday the meet will be resumed and will con tinue until the last title is decided Friday night. There will be boxing and wrestling all Friday afternoon. In the evening there will be about three matches in the wrestling finals and 19 bouts in the boxing finals. Spokane Battlers Entrain. SPOKANE, Wash., March 28. (Spe cial.) Five boxers of the Spokane Amateur Athletic club, three of them Pacific Northwest association cham pions, left tonight for Portland, ac companied by Instructor Quinn, to enter the Pacific coast championships. In the party were Pete Gillio, Bat tling Luke Jaekman, George Charbu lak, Don Jones and Niel Tierney. HOOP FIVALST0 CLASH B'XAI B'RITH IXTERMEDIATES TO MEET JEWISH BOYS. Game to Be Played Monday Night. Contest Will Probably Close Basketball Season Here. The B'nai B'rith intermediate quin tet will meet the Jewish Boys' Ath letic club next Monday night in what will probably be the final game of the basketball season locally. The game will be played on the Knai B'rith floor. Keen 4-ivalry exists be tween these two aggregations. The Intermediates have had one of the most successful seasoss in their history and are determined to finish with a victory. They have played 32 games with but six defeats, four of these being to teams out of the inter mediate class. The Jewish boys have been strengthened by the addition of sev eral South Parkway stars and they have a very formidable team. In the early part of the season the Jewish boys lost a game to the Intermediates by an overwhelming score, with the result that they have been clamoring for a return game all season. Coach Unkelis, of the Jewish boys is certain that he has a better team and will finish the game on the long end of the score. Jack Routledge, coach of the inter mediates has lined up a strong team of interscholastic stars and is willing to pit them against any quintet in the state for the 140-pound championship. Among his mainstays are Byron An derson, interscholastic all-star for- jward; Spud Surber, Henry Blank, Her man Nemiro and Milton Humbert at. forward. Jerry Gunther at center is considered one of the best players developed this season among inde pendent teams. Dave Weiser i also a strong player at the pivot position. ROLLER TO WORK OX FAIR WAYS THIS WEEK. 250 Golfers Use Course for Sunday Workout-, Despite Temporary Condition of Turf. Work on the new nine-hole golf course on the site of the out itose City speedway, which will be in first class shape for play by July 1, has been started' in earnest. The com mittee in charge of construction work on the course, which when it is com pleted will be one of the finest in, the city, will place a st-eam roller over the fairways this week. Practically all the fairways have been cleared and are now ready for the roLler. The biggest job of clear ing was on fairways 3 and 4, where the ground was cluttered up with stumps. These stumps have been pulled and will be burned. Work also has been started on the greens. The greens have been piowec and the top soil is being sifted on. The fifth green will be the most ex pensive of the entire nine holes. In making this green it has been neces sary to make a sax-foot cut in the bank. While the course is yet in a tempo rary state, members of the Rose City Golf club are using it daily. Last Saturday and Sunday there were more than 250 players on the course. The best players are able to turn the nine holes in from 41 to 47 strokes. When the permanent greens are established this m-edal score will be cut down considerably. Allen Lee Longstaff, professional at the Rose City club course, is on hand every day at the course giving instructions. Longstaff before com- i ing to Portland was professional at the Eugene Country club. The schedmlie of matches for th women, of the Portland Golf club who are competing in. the spring ladde tournament ha.9 been arranged for this week.

The Joe Benjamin -Bobby Harper bout which the Portland boxing com mission has endeavored to stage for some time and which Has been the cause of considerable argument be tween Charley Jost, manager of Harper, and members of the commis sion, may be held after all, provided Benjamin is willing to make the trip to the Pacific coast before he goes to iiurope with Jack Dempsey. Dr. Tom Ross, member of the com mission, in newspaper statements re cently said that Jost was afraid to have Harper meet Benjamin and that he was trying to hold up the Portland commission by asking for 30 per cent of the gate receipts on top of a fat guarantee. Jost admits that he did ask for a 30 per cent cut, but denies that he asked for any guarantee. furthermore, Jost says he is now ready to let Harper fight Benjamin for 25 per cent, which is all the com mission could pay to a main event fighter. Jost says it is now up to the commission to produce Benjamin and put the fight on. Harper is in big demand in the northwest. He has closed to meet George Ingle April 7 at Vancouver, B. C. However, as the bout with Ben jamin, if it is held, will be staged on April 4 the fight in Vancouver, B. C, will not interfere with his appearing here on a local card. TILDEX AXD PROTEGE BEATEX Tennis Champion and Dad Elimi nated in Second Round. NEW YORK, March 28. William T. Tilden II, national and world's grass court champion, end his 14-year-old protege, A. L.

The pair ' were beaten in straignt sets, 6-0, 11-9, by I. P.Hart man and J. D. Ewing Jr. of New York. The match was the first champion ship test for Tilden's youthful part ner, and, though he displayed prom ising skill, he was unable effectively to support his famous champion. Salem Hoopers Elect. SALEM, Or., March 28. (Special.) Edwin LilligrerT will captain the Salem high school basketball team next year, according to announcement made here today. He was until re cently connected with th Chemawa Indian echooL ( Despite Fact Challenger Puts Up One of Best Exhibitions In Career, Titleholder Ljeads. CHICAGO, March 28 (By the Asso ciated Press.) Willie Hoppe tonight gave one of the gamest exhibitions of billiards in his long career, but was unable to overcome the spectacular playing of the champion, Jake Schae fer, in their 1500-point 18.2 balk line match for the world's" title, and the second block of play ended with "Young Jake" still in the lead, 1000 to 962. Schaefer won tonight's block BOO to 486, but at one time led his challenger 300 to 97. Balls Carefully Tested. Before the start of tonight's play the balls and the table again were carefully tested to see if the weather or the movement of that part of the audience on the stage had affected them. Schaefer, resuming his 10th inning in the total play and starting nis nrst inning of tonight's block, found the balls grouped at one end of the table where he left them at the end of last nierht's block. The champion, holding a -34-point lead over his challenger, began with four nurse shots, but had to drive one object ball around the table for his fifth. Several clever open shots were nec essary before the champion could again group jhe ivories, but he finally got them together and quickly reached the 60 mark. ' His position play on drive shots brought frequent applause. points Made QnleUly. Again getting the balls together. Schaefer brought his.first run tonight to 100 almost as quickly as the ref eree could count. His play was much steadier than last night. A great ova tion, greeted the 110th point, a masse, thus forcing the champion into open play, but two or three cushion shots and a marvelous driving again dropped the ivories at the 125th counter. Schaefer's nursing was a revelation in direct contrast to his rather errat'c position play last night, and he did not drive the balls again until he had made 155. He missed a straight carom after scoring 157 for his first inning tonight, which with the 34 at the end of last night's play made a run of 191. Ivories Fine for Hoppe. Hoppe found the ivories In good position, but began playing very de liberately. He took four minutes for the first 10 points. Three times in the next 10 points Hoppe left the balls lined up, but he recovered from the bad leaves through beautiful shoot ing. The challenger then speeaed up and quickly had a string of 35, mix ing in several good banks and drives. He could' not get them together, and the run ended at 43 with the balls scattered. A beautiful bank scored Schaefer's first point in his second inning to night. At his 30th point the title holder had the ivories well together at one end bf the table. Schaefer's work in keeping the balls together was wonderful, and he reached the 75th point in his second inning without a hard shot. The same style of play carried him to the 90th mark and almost impossible draws made it 100, the balls becoming separated then. Champion's Shot Spectacular. The champion then resorted to spectacular shot making for ten more points when he again got the ivories into position and, with an occasional masse, reached 125, without losing position. After making 143 Schaefer shot too easily on a eix-inch one-cushion bank and missed. During his next score of points, Hoppe made eome great shots, but his play lacked its usual precision. Sev eral times he barely made easy lay outs, but finally settled down and was pooling steadily when he reached 70.. He made the next billiard but failed to drive the balla out of anchor and it was Schaefer's shot. Schaefer Has Difficulty. Schaefer, starting with the balls to gether and with only 149 to go for the block, quickly scored ten but was having trouble in keeping the ivories grouped. A difficult draw proved too much for the champion after he had made 16, and Hoppe, fighting desperately against heavy odds, finally got the balls into a corner after several drives. Hoppe's first five shots in his fourth inning were hard onea but the sailing became easier as he passed the 21 score mark. Ivlss Scores Point. A kiss gave Hoppe his 24th point, which he apparently" had missed. Starting his second inning Hoppe again found the balls together. The challenger nursed 20 points out of them and then brought them into po sition again through several drives when his delicate play brought his points to 40. A masse from frozen balls made it 45 and a draw 50 with the balls all in a corner. Hoppe got another lineup and missed after scoring 54. The total score at this point stood: Schaefer 800. Hoppe 563. Schaefer Scores Rapidly. Schaefer found the balls apart in his- third inning, but a beautiful six- foot semi-circular draw brought them together and at the 30th point he was mingling masses with caroms for rapid scoring. Schaefer mirsed a drive after mak ing 35, however. Hoppe, however, could not score in his third inning, missing a three- cushion shot, and Schaefer resumed scoring. The title holder then was forced nto open play, but he mingled two and three-cushion shots with draws and reached his 60 points with the balls well scattered.
