LITTLE or no encouragraent la being Riven the proponed appearance here of Bennie Leonard, lightweight champion of th' world, by th Portland boxing commfnslon. Bennie has stated that he -Mould like to come to Portland and the fans would like to see him. but no con crete offer has been made him, it is said. Bobby Evahs. who made the first over ture to Leonard at a time when he thought he could stage a show In Fort land upon his discharge from the army, still keeps up a correspondence with Billy Gibson, manager-of Leonard. He Mired. Jack Fahie, who is In San Fran cisco with Jimmy Darcey. asking him to (tee Gibson and explain the whole situa tion here. This. Fahie, according to Kvans, has promised to do. Others Trying to Get la One or two organizations which as sisted greatly in the entertainment of soldiers and sailors during the war, de sires, it is said, to put on a benefit show In Portland and will take the matter up with Mayor Baker. It Is said that Ben nie Leonard and Mex Herman would be the main event, if the mayor gives his permission to stage the show. The private promoters say that they would bring Leonard here in a minute , if given the opportunity by the boxing commission, whereas the latter appear not disposed to take a chance on the champion's drawing power. snap for Thursday " In the meantime the Doxers are shap ing up for the commission's show next Thurwlay niirht in the Heilig theatre. AH of the boxers except Flynn are work ing at the Evans Boxing academy in the Buchanan building from 2 :30 to 5. Flynn Is probably the only fellow who knows where Flynn works, but Is said ! to be in good shape. Darcey, who Is hastening back from San Francisco to meet his aged and - behemothic opponent, got a draw last night in the coast metropolis with . Knockout Kruvosky over theour round ., route. Battling with Kruvosky and Flynn are two different matters. Flynn weighs somewhat more than the Port lander. Giving each battler the figure 1 to start with, you can juggle an 8 and a 5 two ways to suit the other two fig ures of their weight and strike it just about exactly. At that It ought to be a pretty good scrap.

Co ordination of the nation's waterway facilities with the railroad, to make theim great "feeders" to the rail car riers, is now engaging the attention of the railroad administration, Walker D. Hines, director general of railroads, anounced today in an address before the rivers and harbors congress.! "We must make an economic suc cess of our water transportation and make it an adjunct to rail transpor tation." Hines declared. "Already a beginning has been made to link up the 'railroads with some of the princi pal waterways with a view to estab lishing eventually a complete, articulate system. "Under private management of the roads there was no substantial inter est at 'stake for the railroads to act as 'feeders' to the waterways." " Senator James II. Lewis of Illinois told the delegates that congress is now in responsive mood to authorise water ways developments on a big scale, not alone for commercial reasons, but for th nurnose of making the nation's streams an important part of our national .defense.

K ; !. . t. . at . at at; Protested Game Hurts Him A WONDERFUL catch of a diffi cult fly ball deprived Kd Roush, the ! Cincinnati star, of the batting championship of the National league. And what is more remarkable than that is the fact that Kd Roush made the catch himself and did not have the hit taken away from him. It was one of the most freakish hap penings in all baseball history. The other day President Heydler awarded -the batting honors for the past season . to "Zach" Wheat, of Brooklyn, who hit .335. Southworth, of Pittsburg, batted higher than that .341 but only played in 64 games. Roush ranked next with .333, just two points behind Wheat. And Here's the Play Bill Phelon, the Cincinnati scribe, points out the unusual play by which Roush robbed himself of the championship. The apparent impossibility of this happening makes the incident re markable. If Roush had muffed the fly or let it drop untouched he would have led the league in bat ting. "During a game against St. Louis, with a Cardinal runner on third. Thai A. CLASS merchandise trapshooting tournev will be staeed on the Port land Gun club traps Sunday morning. The event will consist of 50 targets. There will be a prize for the high score in each of the four classes. iThls event is open to all. A merchandise Bhoot may be staged on the club traps next Sunday. Houston, Texas, Feb. S. Frank M. Troeh of Vancouver, Wash. ; John Liv ingstone of Birmingham,. Ala., and Jim Day of Midland. Texas, tied for high score in the 100 bird event of the "Sunny South" handicap yesterday, each break ing 99 oat of 100. Frank Remy of ln dianapOTs was high man on 150 targets with a score of 147. A. P. Smith of Bealsey, Texas, scored 93 in the doubles event. There should be more competition at doubles targets. This is real shooting, yet the only competition last year was the event for the national championship. Two thousand three hundred and fifty-four Bhooters won one trophy and 2934 shooters won the 3836 trophies dis tributed by the American Trapshooting association in the registered tournament in 191. Winston ChurchilCthe author; Chief Bender and Joe Bush, the baseball pitchers, and Fred Plum, the national champion at 200 targets, were visitors to the trapshooting school at Atlantic City recently. The New Tork state shoot will take place at Travers Island this year, be ginning April 26 and concluding May 1. The New York Athletic club's annual shoot will begin May 2 and conclude May 4 giving a nine days' shooting program, the longest held in the United States in years. Eighty-seven members of the Chari ton (Iowa) Gun club enlisted in the service of Uncle Sam practically the entire membership and 51 saw service "over there." The Atlantic City trapshooting school has been so successful that It is a won der more schools of the same nature have not been started. The Chester County Rod and Gun club has been formed at Coatesville, Pa., be Ing capitalised at $10,000. The idea is to have a country club with traps, rifle range, tennis and other outdoor pas times, with every citizen on the mem bership roll. t Trapshooting clubs In every city should make it their business to inter est the members of the park com mis sion in setting aside a place for trap shooting. It is more essential to have traps in the parks than it is golf links, tennis courts and baseball diamonds, for one need's to know how to shoot in order to be of aid to his country In time of need. Shooters are the backbone of the nation. 7 Ships Withdrawn From Army Service Will Convey Foods Washington. Feb. 8. (I. N. S.)

Dr. Bernhardt Dernburg, for mer German colonial minister, in an in terview at Weimar, declared Friday that Germany would not sign a peace that deprived her of her colonies.' A number of government leaders ex pressed their conviction that a govern ment strong enough to . handle the : im portant problems of the . future would emerge from the national assembly now meeting at. Weimar. Roush tore In for a short, fast drop ping fly. He got hold of the ball, but stumbled, went to his knees, and let it set out ot his hands. By a marvelous) lightning grab ha got tho ball before it touched the ground and. rising, threw to third base, whence the Cardinal! runner had started for the plate. Roush claimed a double play on the ground that the runner had left before the ball was caught, and Hank O'Day, the umpire, sustained the claim. . Hendricks Hakes Protest "But the rules say that a runner can start from a base after a fly ball has been 'momentarily held.' Jack Hendricks, manager of the Cardi nals, promptly protested the game on the ground that Roush had mo mentarily held the ball before he dropped and recovered it. The St. Louis claim was disallowed, the game and all that had been done therein went off the records. And, as it happened, Roush had made two hits out of three times at bat that afternoon. He lost the. hit and with those hits he lost' the cham pionship and the honor of leading the league two years in succession."
