GIVEN BIG GOOSE EGG

Fisher's Defeat Is 3 to 6, Although His Team Makes Most Hits j
Arkenbufs "Down Curves" Punle "the Enemy," but Cox and
Hitter Tie Up Glorious Victory? Beavers AH Bat in Seventh.
, ' ) ' By R. A. Cronin
GURRYCdMBED, bathed in blue vitriol, spread, on nice, clean
plates and put under the magnifying: glass for analysis, we
would say the ball gam resulted like this:

V v Portland . . . . . 0 9 4-
. Cox & Ritter . ....,....... 5 C 1
While it is true that Messrs.
the Vancouver Baseball corporation will get credit in the official
averages, it js none the less certain that the well known firm of
boot dealers; Cox & Ritter, had quite a bit to do with the grand
and glor-i-yus victory.
;, Cox and Ritter are a versatile pair Art wears 'em high and
wideband Dick is strong for muffs above the shoestrings.
' Of course. Art and Dick were
having a bad day and It so hap
pened that the disease cropped out
in both at the same timet contrib
uting therefore muchly to the sum
total of" the Vancouver score,

Bom Fisher trotted out a new

at the score sheet, would have

" but even that would have beaten
Portland because Al Olpe kept the
home talent away from the plate
entirely.

; Likewise, it was the first appear
r anca of young Mister Sipe, who 1j
big enough to whip Bill's Prince
Kltei Frederlch with one hand tied

a third more hits than the Beavers,

vr,l but the pernicious activity of

som months ago by the food Judge
aloCredle, cut down a lot of chances
to tlly Dock handled 1 chances,
got a sprained akU In the bargain,
' and retired to his hotel. He will
' be back to snicker sardonically at

Boeisle forced Stokke at third,
but when "Pete" threw across the

All of which brings us up to the

In our first advertisement we outlined the gen
eral Transportation Situation, and yesterday we
told you just what the two jitney measures are
that will be on the official ballot at the coming
election, May 17th.
The-next proposition in which we feel that you
are vitally concerned js:
WHY ARE THESE JITNEY MEASURES
THE BALLOT AT ALL?
You have a right to know why, because there is
already a jitney bonding ordinance on the city
law books, and there is also a jitney regulation
measure in effect which the voters adopted by a
vote of 3 to 2 at the "general city election in June,
1915.
In the. first place, the jitney interests have stead
fastly refused to make any effort to operate under
the present $2$00 bonding act, although they op
erate in the leading cities, of Washington uncjer a
bond of that amount, and jn the. principal Califor
nia cities hundreds of jitneys are in daily opera
tion under a $5000 bonding provision.
In the second place, the jitneys, in the old days,
found any number of loopholes- for evading the
measure which you .t adopted for' regulating them,
anJ they continued to run any old time and any
old place until last Summer, when the jitney driv
ers found they could make better wages in other
lines of business and quit -
As a matter of fact, in all probability neither of
the jitney measures would be on the ballot if a cer

Round of Go. '
ST. PAUL. Minn.. May 4. (U. P.)
Jack Dempscy had shoved himself
a little closer to th heavyweight box
ing championship crown today with a
newspaper decision over Billy Mislke
of St. Paul In 10 rounds here last night.
Home pride credited Miske with a
draw. With the exception of th
seventh round when Mlske. was wobbled
with an uppercut to the Jaw, there was
no hint of a knockdown or blood spill
ing. Miske found th western heavy more
nearly In his own class than the
ringsters he has met recently. Each
weighed in around 185. Accustomed to
tantalising bigger and slower men,
Mlsk faced an opponent quite an
shifty aa hlmseir. Bury wasn t per
mitted to set himself to deliver his
favorite punches.
The first three rounds were slow with
Mlsk cautious. Dempsey's dancing
and rocking baffled the St. Paul boy.
Thereafter until the eighth, which was
slow, the mixing was violent. In the
seventh Mlsk rushed Jack but Demp
sey came back with an uppercut to
the Jaw that forced Billy to hang on.
The favorite division ef honors to
day was : First, even ; second and
third, Dempsey's; fourth Miske; fifth,
even ; sixth. Mtske's : seventh and
eighth, Dempsey's; ninth even, end
tenth, Dempsey's. .

tain small group of disgruntled agitators had . not
seized upon the jitney as an excuse for hammering -our
Company because the Public Service Commis
sion found it necessary to grant us increased rev
enues to enable us to meet the enormous increase
in operating expenses and continue operation.
The jitney propagandists have- lost no oppor
tunity to misrepresent the situation as to why an
increased fare was necessary and what .facts and
conditions led up to it. They, have merely con
tended, in and out of season, that we "put some
thing over" on the public.
That is the very farthest from the truth, and it
is our purpose in the next few succeeding adver
tisements to show you that our opponents have
misrepresented -and distorted the facts and that
the only thing that could sae our property and
YOUR STREETCAR SERVICE from rack and
ruin was the remedy afforded us by the Public
Service Commission after the most careful and -painstaking
investigation of all the facts and Jcir-
cumstances.
In order that you may grasp clearly the whole
situation as it exists today, we want you JLq go
with us into the history of the Six-Cent Carfare
Case,and then you can better judge for yourself
whether we have "put anything over" and, more
important still, whether the return of the wild, un
regulated jitneys will improve the situation in the
slightest degree.
