(Spe cial.) One bad inning; proved the un doing of Portland today, and Vernon took a 5-to-l victory. In addition to losing; the same, Mc Credie lost the services of Maisel, who may be out of the same for the re mainder of the series. In the fourth Maisel, in a futile attempt to steal second, sprained his right ankle so badly that he had to be helped off the Held. After first aid had been given in the clubhouse he dressed and hob bled into the stands to watch the game. Jones was hit hard in the early innings, but sensational fielding, espe cially by Speas, who electrified the crowd with a running catch of Meusel's drive, saved him until the third, when singles by Mitchell, Chadbourne and Borton netted a run. Jones Wobbled in the fifth and the Tigers clinched the game. Mitchell started with a walk, took second on a wild pitch and scored when Jones picked up Chadbourne's infield single and threw the ball into right field. Meusel singled and Borton walked, fill ing the bases. Edington's fly to Old ham permitted Chadbourne to score and Meusel tallied when Jones made his second wild pitch of the inning. High was thrown out by Siglin, but Borton scored on the play. The Beavers could not bunch hits un til the eighth, when they scored their only run. With one out Oldham dou bled and tallied on singles by Jones and Wisterzil. Speas spoiled the rally by fanning. Cox, who has not been well, will fill Maisel's place in center. Rader is hobbling about with a bad ankle and should be on the bench, but McCredie has no one to replace him now. Summary: Portland . Vernon B. R. H. O.A.J - B. R. H. O.A. Both teams fielded poorly. Sacramento had the bases full in the second with none out, but failed to score. Craw ford drove the ball over the right field fence in the fourth for a home run. Score: .

"I like Dempsey, and this in spite of the tremendous physical advantages that Willard possesses," says Fred Hawthorne, boxing expert of the New York Tribune. "The whole thing to my mind, will be one of condition, and I do not think it possible for Willard, practically' out of the ring for three years, to stand .against the deadly punching power of Dempsey." Other famous boxing experts have the following opinions. Dan Lyons, Netv York Globe Dempsey. Ed Curley. New York American As the fight between Willard and Dempsey will only go 12 rounds. 1 believe tbe champion will retain his title. G. B. Underwood, boxing critic, new xorK Sun Dempsey. William J. Granger, sporting editor, ijroos lyn Citizen Willard. Abe lager, sporting eujior, crooKiyn uauy Eagle Willard. Tom Thorp,. New York Evening Journal Willard WILLARD CUTS DOWN WORK Champion Displays More Speed Id Workout, Drawing Praise From l ex-Ring Champions, , TOLEDO, O., June 28. (Special.) Surging crowds of autolsts, women and plain boxing "fans," packed the training camps of Jess Willard and Jack Dempsey today and fought for advantageous points for observation to ree the heavyweight rivals go through their paces for preparation for their championship contest next Friday. The crowds were the largest that have vis ited either camp. Dempsey boxed three fast rounds with Jock Malons and Sergeant Bill, Tate, while Willard traveled only sir rounds instead of the usual eight. The champion boxed three rounds with Jack Hempel and three with Walter Monahan, knocking Hempel down with' a right-hand punch in the second round. The Jamaica Kid of Dempsey's spar ring staff refused to box with the challenger because he said his jaw and stomach were sore from the punish ment cf previous days. Tate, it was claimed, declined to get into the ring until assured that Demp sey would box easily. The champion displayed more speed and "snap" in his workout than he has in a week and his showing drew praisa from Tommy Ryan of middleweight championship fame, who declared after the workout that Willard was in con dition to defend his title, which some of his critics doubt. Evening Mail I have never amounted to mougni tnai lie was on a saier winners or the important tnan mixing puncnes witn an in much at picking winners of the importa fishts of the past few years, but I will admit that I touted Benny Leonard to stop Willie Ritchie recently. I may be a little orr form but 1 honeHtly believe Jess Willard will win on points. Dave Mackay and Harry Edwards, man agers respectively of the Newark, N.

BY IGOE. (Copyright by the New York World. Pub lished by arrangement.) TOLEDO, O., June 28. (Special.) Mistuh Jamaica Kid, the best trial horse in the Jack Dempsey camp, hab done chucked hees job. Chucked it up today with the remark: "Mistuh Jack, a'd lak ver much to continue wif de contract to rip and spah wif you until de Fourt', but de troot is dat you hab done gone and bust me to pieces. Ah will tend you mah smiling countenani e from dis heah day on, but not as a body to hit. "Ah've been yo spahhin' partner, but ah new and here serves you with re signments. You'll bounce mah brains about no mo. As de Jack Dempsey spahhin' man. a'm thru. Thru, that's all, jest thru." And so, next to the accidental taking off of King, the camp mascot, the Dempsey outfit suffered one of its hardest blows. This time, the backing down and out of Jamaica Kid is a real calamity, for he was one man who really seemed to have a chance to take all that young Dempsey had, to come back the next day for more. He took his daily pelting without ever a murmur of complaint and might have played the string out had not Dempsey got rambunctious yesterday . and belted the black so hard that he went to the floor. It was a terrific whipping, but Jamaica's own fault to a great extent. He seemed to like the yells of the crowds, when he landed on Jack, and landing on good. Jawn in variably invites fistic annihilation. That was poor Jamaica's fate. Bill Tate boxed with Dempsey but not until the giantkiller had crossed his heart to die on the proposition ofat- tending strictly to blocking. Dempsey promised and big mahogany-hued Tate went on and' worked like a flash. Milt's head is still buszing like a pinwheel from the clouts that brought him down several times. He told Dempsey plainly that he would not do any more backstopping for left jabs and right-hand crosses. With Dempeey under promise to go low and really not at all and Jamaica . mere spectator, Dempsey's real hard and heavy training is at an end. There is Jock Malone, of course, a speedy welterweight, to take hiin through speedi dashes. Dempsey and Malone sparred like lightweights today and many of the young challengers' friends road than mixing punches with all the at tending dangers of broken hands. Frank Moran, . rather a strong Wil lard admirer, pitched a monkey wrench into the Dempsey arguments by declar nig flatly that Dempsey was stale. "1 watched him with careful eye," said Moran, "and I'm convinced that ho is listless, the result of too much hard work in the sun. I might be wrong, but I think I'm familiar with the symptoms and Jack Dempsey acts stale to say the least. I'll stake my life that Demp sey couldn't be right by July 4, even if he were to take a full layoff until fight time. I'm convinced that a 10-day rest wouldn't bring him around. On the other hand there's big Willard, open mouthed and easy goins. tetitng them to come on, one after tne otlier. He fretted noticeably over this and that. "Tying on the gloves, for instance, he objected to the knots being tied this way or that. One man told me that it was a sure sign that Willard is wor rying. Just the opposfte, my word for it. It Is the surest sign in the world that the man is right on edge. A cranky fighter is a fighter ready for the wars. He'll fool 'em now, mark Francis Charles Moran." (Tommy Ryan was just a bit more en thusiastic over Willard than he waa yesterday. The once great middle weight champion thougnt that Jess stepped around today as nice as you please. He said tnat ne wouio nae to see Willard a little firmer in flesh, but under the circumstances ne was jut about as good as could be expected of a man who had been out of it so long. Jiriimy DeForest said today that it was his intention to have Dempsey in the "ring next Friday weighing IDs pounds. Battery A Team Wins. The Battery A baseball team defeated an all-star aggregation selected from the Bankers' league. 11 to 9, on tho Vaughn street grounds yesterday after noon in a game played for the benefit of the Salvation Army fund. 126 waa raised for the fund by the Elks, who staged the same.
