SACRAMKNTO, Cal., April 17.
fSpecial.) Hammering out eight of
their nine runs before the fourth in
ning, the Portland batters walked
away from Sacramento here this aft
ernoon with a 9 to 2 score. Sacra
mento tried to recover from the
shock by putting out Pitcher Kunz
in the third inning and sending in
Horwedge, but the latter received the
same reception.
Sutherland, on the mound for Port
land, was a mystery for the Sacra
mento sluggers and only allowed
them five hits. One of the features
of the game was the fast work of
the Portland fielders, who repeatedly
got under long flies that looked like
long base hits.
Portland Scores; in First,
Portland started to score in the
flr.t inning. Blue was hit by a
pitched ball and scored on Maisel's
hit through shortstop. SaStamento
in their half got McGaffigan on sec
ond and Compton on third. They
worked a double steal and McGaffir
gan crossed the plate, tying the
score.
Cox started off for Portland in the
second inning by Walking. Spranger
was safe on a fielder's choice. With
the infield playing in, Sutherland
singled through second, scoring Cox
and Spranger. Blue doubled to right
field, advancing Sutherland to third.
Maisel singled to the center garden,
scoring Sutherland and Blue.
In the third frame Cox singled to
left, Kingdon singled to right,
Spranger doubled to center, scoring
Cox and advancing Kingdon to the
third sack. At this point Manager
Kogers of Sacramento yanked out
.Kunz and sent Horwedge into the
box. In an attempt to catch Spranger
off second, Schang threw to center
field, which allowed Kingdon time to
scoot across the plate. Sutherland
came up and sacrificed to Eldred, cen
ter field, scoring Spranger.
Senators' Knlly Fails.
No runs were made on either ide
until the eighth inning, when Suth
erland singled to center and Blue
cloubled against the right field fence,
advancing Sutherland to third. Wis
terzil sacrificed to Eldred and Suth
erland crossed the plate.
Sacramento staged a rally in the
ninth inning and worked one run
across the plate when "Red" Hodges,
batting for Horwedge, beat out an in
field hit and scored on Middleton's hit
to center field.
Rodgers announced that he will re
lease Pitcher Jack Willen to the Ta
coma club of the Pacific Northwestern
league. The score:

AX'OTIIKR $10,000 FOR WILDE
Englishman to Get Bag of Coin to
Meet Murray.
Jimmy Wilde, the little man of big
money guarantees, will get another
handbagful of American greenbacks
on April 21. when he faces ' Battling'
Murray before the recently organ
ized Camden Spoilsmen's club of
Camden, N. J., in ati eight-'Ound bout.
Murray has done all his fighting
around Philadelpnia and for that rea
son is little known to the New York
fans. He has given a good account
or nimselt, however, when called upon
to meet men of his weight in the
Quaker rings.
It is not known just what James
ts getting for this bout, but it is sure
ly uround the $10,000 mark, as that is
the figure that Jimmy seems to have
settled on, no matter who the prob
able victim may be, and he has taken
to selecting them himself. He will
not listen to talk of bouts with Jack
Sharkey, Pal Moore or Joe Lynch,
and the New Jersey fight impre
sarios declare that Jimmy does not
intend to fight them in this country,
reserving that privilege for, London.

of substitutes in matches at half time

Idaho Wrestler Puts Up Game
Battle at Baker. '
BAKER. Or.. April 17. (Special.)
Ad Gustavo put up one of his hardest
battles Thursday night when he de
feated George Western, Idaho's 170

throwing him to the mat. Nineteen
minutes later Gustavo secured a body
scissors and half-Nelson which won

FRED MAY INJURE HANDS

; BT RICHARD R. SHARP.
Jack Thompson, the steel-domed
negro heavyweight of Tulsa, Okla
homa, who many critics say is the
toughest man m the ring today, ar
rived here yesterday from the oil
state, fit-and ready to tackle Fero
cious Fred Fulton for ten rounds at
the Milwaukie arena on Wednesday
night. "
Thompson is one hard-boiled-looking
individual and they say that his
head Is thatched with boiler-plate
steel instead of the well-known bone
Jack is broad and brawny and hits
the 6-foot mark in height.
Five or six years ago. when the
then famous "shine circuit" was reap
ing a steady harvest of shekels, with
the firfn composed of Sam Langford.
Joe Jeanette. Sam McVey and Harry
Willis, Thompson was just beginning
to show signs of development and
tried with might and main to break
into the "trust." But as Langford1
and Jeanette had only fought 14 or
15 times in those days, it was not
deemed necessary to declare in any
more new blood, so Thompson was left
out in the cold. He took on what
bouts he could land and fought along
until one day McVey and Jeanette
begun to show signs of - eakenlng
and Sam was getting along in years,
so Jack was let in. He made the
mistake of refusing to play rice, how
ever, and right off the reel clipped
one of the "trust" on the chin for a
goal. Of course, he lost his "ama
teur standing" at once and from that
day -has always been taken with a
grain of salt by any of his du.-Mer-hued
opponents and as yet he Is not in the
league." but still going strong.
Thompson is the youngest of the
great negro heavyweights and, ac
cording to several fans here who
have seen all of them box. is the best
today. Langford is still winning and
It would be stretching a point to say
that Thompson is better than Harry
Wills, but to say he is as good seems
O. K., considering how he has fared
against Wills on the occasions that
they have met. Thompson's last buot
was a 15-round mill against Mills in
Tulsa ended in a draw after both men
had fought toe to toe throughout the
distance.
Thompson does not say what he ex
pects to do with Fulton. All that he
had to state was that he would be to
there to make a showing ami do the
best that is in him.
On August 4. 1919, Thompson fought
Sam Langford a 15-roind draw in
Tulsa and in October they met again
over the 15-round route In the same
city, the bout ending in another hard
fought draw.
The only thing that To O'Kourkc is
worrying about is that Fred might
hurt his hands on Thompson's head.
Fulton has been unfortunate, in that
every time he has taken on a colored
battier he has hurt his hands. Before
ccming out to the Pacific coast Fred
knocked out Silas Green and John
Lester Johnson, two well-known ne
gro heavywel-jnts. but was forced to
l.y off after eacn match to give his
hands a chance to get in shape aRain.
To get used to them. Fulton en
gaged Joe Lawson as his chief spar
ring mate an 1 is also working with
Kid Taylor, another ebony-klnned
mixer. Lawson Is a New lork lijtht
heavyweight and will tangle ten
rounds with "Tiny" Herman. Chet Mc
Iiityre's promising young heavy
weight in the seml-windup of Wednes
day night's card at the Milwaukie
arena.
After fighting ma!n events in Oak
land and T.icoma while on his western
visit. Johnny Nove consented to step
six rounds against Muff Bronson In
one of the six-rjund special events
Wednesday night. The hard-hitting
St. Paul lightweight fought Harry
Casey of Suttle ten rounds in Pen
dleton last week and was prevailed
upon by Matchmaker -Frank Kendall
of tne Milwaukie boxing commiss'on
tc come on to Portland and meet
Bronson. Noye h.id already purchased
Us ticket for St. Paul, but as Kendall
and Noye's manager. Mike Collins, are
great friends, he consented to turn
back. Noye has fought many of the
best men in the country and recently
won in three rounds from Lew Ten
dler in Denver. The crack Philadel
phia boxer fouled .Noye In the third
canto of a scheJ'iled 15-round match.
Bronscn has been stepping like the
Muff ot old and !s confident of his
ability to cooe with the invader.
Joe Gorman, the Portland feather
weight, who knocked out Eddie Jack
son of Seattle in the seventh round
of their scheduled eight-round mill
at the armory B'rlday night, will
tackle another Seattle mixer In a
rn-ruuiiu wi
itix-rouud battle Wednesday nig-ht.
' Matchmaker Frank
Kendall has se
lected Frank Pete, rated as the tough
est 130-pounder in Seattle, as Gor
man's opponent.
Henry Krieger. an old favorite in
the welterweight ranks, will tangle
with Kid Meeker in the four-round
curtain raiser.
Thousands of Guesses on

More Than 10.000 Above the

IF everybody who has made an esti
mate on the attendance at the
opening ball game shows up to watch
the Beavers and Angels perform next
Wednesday afternoon at Vaughn
street. Portland ought to have little
difficulty in establishing the season's
opening-day baseball record.
Guesses on the attendance range

gets in a guess of 27.645 can lay claim
to being the champion optimist of the

at a ball game In Portland -is 16.126.

'HAPPY" KUEHN ENTERED
Voutbrul Portland Lad's Work to
Be Watched With Interest
by Knthn-ials Here.
BV GEORGE COWNE.
Never before In the history of div
ing has such an aggregation of stars
been entered in a ni2et as will take
to the springboard in the men's na
tional diving event at the Los An
geles Athletic e!ub next Thursday
night. With the winner standinga
chance to make a place on the Amer-
K-an swimming and diving team which
will be entered at the Olympic games
in Antwerp this summer, the national
event is drawing competitors from
every section of the country.
"Happy" Louis Kuehn. a pupil of
Jack Cody, swimming instructor of
the Multnomah Amateur Athletic club
and holder of the national junior title,
is on his way south where he hopes
to land the national senior. The out
come of the meet will attract the at
tention of the swimming worid. The
performance of "Happy" will be
watched with interest in Portland,
where he is considered to have an
even chance with the diving stars of
the country. Three or the entries in
the meet. Thil Patterson. Clarence
Pinkston and Eugene Field, were de
feated by the local boy in the junior
diving meet held here under the aus
pices of the Winged M club last i.!i.
Los Angeles will be well repre
sented, having Clyde Swenson. who
held the title in 191S; Hilly Williams,
international diving star; Eugene
Field and Haig Priest. The Olympic
club of San Francisco will send Phil
Patterson and George Bond, while
Oakland will be represented bv
Walter Mills.
That New York will
send the present title hohler. Fred
Sponberg. is a certainty. There will
also be a host of entries, from the
other swimming centers of the east.
An open 440-yard swim for men.
held today at Neptune. Alameda, will
start a fortnight of swimming around
the Seal Rock city region, the liko
of which has never been staged on
the coast before. After this event the
national junior loo-yard backstroke
will be held at Neptune April 25.
On April 28 the Olympic club of S.m
Francisco will stage the national 400
yard relay swim. The Illinois Ath
letic clubs team of champions will
be on the mark, as will also the
Olympic club. St. Mary's college. Nep
tune. Alameda and Neptune. Stockton
and the Los Angeles Athletic club. A
preliminary water polo game that will
lead up to the rinals on May 1 will
also be on the programme.
Aside from the 400-yard relay and
the water polo games, the event that
Is attracting the most attention i
the women's national 220. which will
be staged at Idora park. Oakland, on
May 9. Ethelda Bliebtrey and ("liar
lot tc Boyle, two of the best sprint
swimmers that the east has turned
out for many a year, and who now
are competing in the Hawaiian is
lands, will meet Frances Cowells
Schrnth and several of the lesser
lights of the southern swimming
world. It will be the first time that
these mermaids have met in the tank.
Jack Cody, swimming instructor at
the Winged M club, has not given up
all hope of the local 'club sending a
water polo team to the national
championships al San Francisco. The
matter will be taken up with the
board of directors of the club tomor
row night, and it will be definitely
decided whether or not the local club
will be represented.
If it is decided not to send a team
south, the local interest and backing
will be centered upon the Bay City's
Olympic club entry, the only team in
the contest that seems to have a
chance to trim the Illinois Athletic
club champions. Illinois will be a
hard, team to down, as it has some
wonderful players and swimmers, sev
eral of whom are national title
holders. The Olympic club has snm-i
I wonderful players and man for man
Is very well matched with the cham
pion team.
There is considerable speculation
among local swimming enthusiasts as
to whether or not Miss Thelma Payne,
three times winner of the national
fancy diving title, will be compelled
to compete in the Olympic trials in
order to gain a place op the team that
will represent this country in the
Olympic games. In view of the re
markable showing made by Miss
Payne in winning the diving cham
pionship for three consecutive years
against the best divers of the coun
try. It would hardly seem necessary
for her again to enter competition in
order to be selected for the team. It
is probable that the matter will be
taken up with the National Amateur
Athletic union headquarters In New
York, so that Miss Payne may receive
a place on the team without further
contesting against divers whom she
has already defeated.
