Oregenians Pull Out With 14 Hits, Monday Mackmen and Honors Starting A.CK in the, lead of the Pacific Coast league are our Battling Beavers, and it all came about because the local club clipped the wings of IhefLoB Angelea Angels t6 the tune of 12 to 3 Monday afternoon at Vaughn itreet. It was one of the old fashioned slugfests with the Oregonians poling out a total of 14 hits before the contest was completed. Incidentally the Beavers took the mencing Tuesday afternoon the race circuit with -San Francisco opposing Portland on the local diamond. The 3eal won the series from Seattle without much trouble last week, although by losing to the Rainiers Monday, the Oregonians hopped on top of the team standings. BEAVER FIREWORKS START Before the Beavers could get started Monday, the visitors had jumped on Car roll Jones .for three runs. From the time Springer opened up the third inning rith a bit until th last Angel was out n the ninth It was nothing but Port and. Six of the Beavers ciossed the rubber is son as the fireworks started in tne bird, and "Klbby" Spranger opened ind closed the session. After scoring mother marker in the sixth, Portland ame back with four more in the aev mth. mainly because Lew Blue tripled o the left center field fence with 'o on. . Every one of the home outfit made a tit, and the best part of the whole bat- ling bee was the work of Cal Jones. 9e made two singles and he looked like second "Babe" Ruth that Is, taking ihe way Ruth went last year. Biff Schaller had the old eye on the tpple and got away with a duo of safe ties, as did Spranger, Cox and Blue. ERRORS HELP VISITORS Los Angeles scored one in the first ind two In the third. Errors by Wis przil and Blue helped the Californlans o pui across me two counters. ine hird inning for Portland went like this: Jpranger, Jones and Blue singled. Wis serxil was hit by a pitched ball, forcing n Spranger. Maisel was safe on Niehoff s rror, Jones scoring only to have Schaller single to right scoring Blue ind Wisterzil. At this stage of the con gest Manager Wade KlUefer Injected Pertica into the lineup to replace Ray Seating. It was the first time in the wries that a mound change was mad? y either team. Cox struck out and Eoehler went out. Pertica to Griggs. Wes Kingdon then came along with a tingle, which added two more runs. Spranger struck out. IJumovlch. a southpaw, was put In by Sillefer in the eighth Inning and he was xeated rather roughly, but at that he wasn't entirely to blame for the lone nn scored off his delivery.

Benny Leonard. - lightweight Champion of the world, and Pete HermanL bantam weight champion of the universe, are al most certain to be seen in action. Matchmaker Bobby Evans of the Portland boxing commission is now dickering with these kingpins. Leon ard's press agent reached Portland Mon day. He will be followed by Manager Billy Gibson, who is due to arrive Wednesday. Evans . expects to close with Gibson for Leonard's service for at least one fight, and probably two, before the week is ended. Leonard's opponent may be Charley White, if White's services can be ob tained. If not White, it may be Eddie Shannon, Pacific coast lightweight king. If neither of these can be signed, the best lightweight -obtainable will be signed against Leonard. If terms are arranged with Bantam Champ. Kid Herman, his opponent will be Billy Mascott Another match in the prospective is between Joe Gorman, Portland feather weight, and Featherweight Champion Johnny Kilbane. Negotiation' are under way with Kilbane. j- In all, Portland has prospects of see ing three world's champions perform in the space of a few days. Should Evans be successful in signing these topnotchers, a stadium, capable of Eeating a vast throng, will be erected for the purpose. STANDINGS PACIFIC COAST LEAGUE Won. Lart. Pet.

With a score of 32Vi to 31 the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity men won the meet over the Phi Delta Theta in the annual inter fraternity track and field meet held in the armory. The local track fans were kept guess ing as to the outcome, knowing that if the Phi Delta Theta men won the .relay the meet would be theirs. Unfortunately the Kappa Sigma relay team won in the fast time of 1 :40 3-5 for the half mile. A great'deal of interest is being shown In intramural athletics here at the col lege, the main purpose being to bring forth material that would be eligible for the varsity. Kappa Sigma took third place with 18 points, Lamba Chi Alpha fourth with 8 points; Sigma Alpha Epsilon fifih with 7 -points;, and Theta Chi, Alpha Tau Omega, and- Kappa Psi each registering 8 points. 50-yrd dash West ( P.

Prelimin; tary Boys Deserve Some Praise Two Opening Matches on Armory Card Friday Night Expected to Provide Thrills. Bj Bob IN WRITING or sneaking of boxing smokers, we are too prone to overlook the preliminary boys. Such a policy is not giving these initial performers their Just dues. Not infrequently the curtain raiser and the bout which immediately follows it have redeemed or almost saved some supposedly high-class cards from the utmost monotony and boredom. The champions of the world today the Dempseys, the Carpentiers, the O'Dowds, the Leonards, the Kllbanes, the Hermans and the Wfldes were at one time trot ted out to open boxing programs. Pos sibly some of these champions put up better fights, from the standpoint of the crowd, before they became champions and had reputations to risk than they have since. Assuming that to be the case, I intend to give a bit of publicity to the four featherweights who will open the smoker for the Portland commission at the Ar mory Friday night. Kach one of the four boys is a game, willing fighter, and two of them, at least Earl Zimmerman and Sammy Gorman are finished box ers. Time was and not so long ago when we would have crowded into a house where the youngsters were fea tured as a semi-windup or even a wind- up. But we focget them, now that we are swamped with champions and near champions from strange lands. Sammy , Gordon suffered some set backs in Portland before he ventured down South not many months ago.' But he came back here, after his invasion of California, with a string of . victories over first-class boys credited to him. He has had one fight since his return his draw with the English bantam, Harry Mansell. Sammy showed in that fight that he was game to the core, knew how to box. knew how to take a punch and knew how to give one. These are qual ifications which go to make champions. Earl Zimmerman, who will be Sam my's opponent, is another tartar fully as game as Sammy, probably not quite so clever, possibly a harder hitter, and doubtless able to assimilate as much punishment- He has always, given the crowd cause for enthusiasm in all his fights. He holds two decisions over Sammy, facts which indicate that the forthcoming bout will be more or less of a grudge affair. George Bums battered his way to popularity when he stowed Freddie Lough away in two rounds at the last smoker. He is a veritable demon on wheels, to paraphrase a poem, when he gets started, and such a thing as a punch being in his way never stops him. He takes 'em in order to get within fir ing range. And when he does get there he whales away with both hands from every conceivable angle. Johnny Tr&mbitas is a younger mem ber of the fighting Trambitas family, and is a brother of Alex and Valley. He is in his early 'teens yet, has never fought in Portland or often outside Portland, but he has the experience ef a veteran through his mingling with training camps and his workouts with professionals. Young Trambitas ought to put,. Burns to a severe test. With such preliminary boys as this, the card which features Frank Farmer and Tiny IIman in the wind-up. Joe Gorman and Sam Langford in the semi windup and Stanley Willis and Frankie Murphy in a special event, ought to pro vide thrills for the most exacting fans. In all, 38 rounds of boxing is scheduled. It is probable that neither Sammy Gor don nor Earl Zimmerman, so Match maker Bobby Evans asserts, can be used on Friday night's card. Unless an oppon ent suitable for one or the other can be signed up today. Evans learned at a late hour that Earl Zimmerman had taken on weight since his trip down South and that he outweighs Sammy too much for a match between the boys. Some one will have to be substituted for either Sammy or Earl In case it is de cided to use one or the other. If an op ponent cannot be found for either of them. Abe Gordon. Sammy's older and lighter brother, will be featured in a four-round event with Johnny Coy, an other fast flyweight. This will be Abe's first appearance here in many months. Tickets for the smoker were put on xale at Rich's and Stiller s this morning. Bearcats Shut Out By Oregon Aggies Oregon Agricultural College. Corval lis. April 27.

Joe Benjamin and Eddie Mahoney, each a championship aspirant and hailing from the camp of a world's champion, mixed in a fast four-round bout to a draw here last night If there was an edge, it be longed to Mahoney for his cleverness. Benjartkin started fast and when he btepped in for the fourth round he ap peared fatigued, but he managed to hold his own. Young Farrell took a close decision from Mike Ertle. Willie Hunefeld. sub etituting for Teddy O'Hare, beat Al Grunan. New Tork, April 27. (I. N. S.)

The long deferred Interfraternal track meet, which has been postponed for a month because of wet weather is sched uled to be held Saturday afternoon and the men of many campus organizations are appearing nightly on Kincaid field in preparation for this contest.

FiRTLAND may take an Internation al p'.ace in billiards. R. B. Benjamin, manager of the bil liard champions now In the Rose City, and the man who so successfully pro moted the three titled tourneys last fall, announced at a dinner for the billiard ists and newspapermen at the Hotel Benson Monday night that Portland most likely would be awarded one of the three world's championship tourneys during 1920. J. J. Parker. Portlasd sportsman, who is responsible for the appearance of the cue champions in this city this week, was host to the party at the Benson. He made such an attractive offer to bring one of the title tourneys here that Promoter Benjamin said there was a big chance of Portland landing one of them, probably the 18.2 baikline. This will be the first time that a championship event in billiards even has been suggested being taken from the East or Middle West. Last fall the balkling tourpey was held in New York, the pocket billiards in Philadelphia and the three cushions in Cleveland. The class of the billiard tottrney to be held in Portland will be announced later. Harry D. Green, manager of the Rialto Billiard parlors, is the man who Is so anxious to stage the championship. It was at his suggestion that Owner Parker went to Promoter Benjamin. If the tourney is awarded to Portland, it will be held under the auspices of the Rialto parlors. According to Promoter Benjamin, who has visited most every billiard parlor In the United States during the last seven years, the Rialto parlors rate with any thing in the country for a one-floor room. William F. Hoppe. Ralph Greenleaf, Charles Peterson. Jerome Keogh, R. B. Benjamin, Harry Green, A. R. McKinley, F. N. Clark. Seneca Fouts and Sol Stil ler were among those present at the Parker dinner. HOPPE SCORES TWO RUNS OF MORE THAN 200 MONDAY Displaying a complete mastery over the elusive Ivories at all times, and showing a stroke that was so delicate and fine that the spheres appeared to halt at his beck and call. Willie Hoppe. perpetual billiard champion, opened the big league billiard week Monday at The Rialto palace, appearing before capacity audiences at both the afternoon' and evening performances. The king of 'em all in the green cloth world was in brilliant stroke and, just to show the enthusiasts that he still stands without a peer in his particular line of en deavor, he gathered two runs above the 200 mark, both of whlph were unfin ished. It was in the afternoon tilt against Charles C. Peterson, the St. Loui balk line artist, that Hoppe registered his English Athletes May Not Compete In Olympic Games London. April 17.
