ODowd to Box at Milwaukie i Sheppard to Meet Leonard : Beavers Get Tiger Pitched
Mackmen in Second
fiivision by Loss to
Salt Lake Players
Visitors Win by Margin of One Frame, Because McCredie Failed
to Supply Pinch Hitter to Fill Breach,-Repetition of
Similar Previous Shortcomings.
By Georg Berts
FlRTLAND dropped Into th second
division wlta the loss of Friday's
contest to the Salt Lake club by one
run - margin because Manager McCredie
did not have a pinch hitter to throw into
the breach In the final Inning. The final
core wu Salt Lake 4, Portland .3, the
tying run dying- on third place when
Paddy Slglin popped out toMullig-an. "
'"' We've no correct count ofCne- games
. Portland has lost, by the failure to have
a pinch bitter to crash out a hit, -but
It is not missing the number very far,
by saying that at least a -half dozen
games have been chalked up in the red
because the necessary hit could not be
delivered.. .-, . .
BLOWS ITOT TIMBIiT
Portland has been hitting on 'even
terms with Its opponents since Its return
home, but their blows have not been
timely This was true in -the Sacramento
series and It is true in the games played
against Salt Lake.
. Wes'Klngdon appears to have recov
ered his batting eye and drove out two
hits out of three; times up Friday, put
ting Cox across the plate in the ninth
. inning, but he failed to advance beyond
third baa while two batters were being
retired. f ..
Rudy Kallio started the game for the
Beavers and he was greeted with a ter
tlfio bombardment. Johnson tripled to
the center field fence and Krug smashed
a hit to right field for a similar number
of, bags. v .... ;
DOTJBLB SCOBE9 XBTTG
Rumler followed with a double that
scored Krug. Sheely and Mulligan were
walked, filling the bases, and it looked
r as though the Beavers were going to get
an awful drubbing, but Kingdon threw
P.umler out ; at the plate on Sand's
(rounder, and Byler filed to Cox for
the third out.
Portland came back and touched Kick
Cullop, pitching his first game here, for
a couple of Jilts, but could not score,
SlgliB being thrown out at, the plate
after Malsel singled. . -
The Beavers were retired In order,
with the exception of Kingdon's single
past-third la the second,, until, the sixth,
when they "put over their first run. In
the msantime Salt Lake put. over- two
more runs. i. Rumler singled otot. second
and SUeely drew a-Walk- v, Rumler ;Btole
third sod scored a Sand's bit over sec-
. end. ", lia!l made a quick recovery and
had the keystone guardians had their
ves'opea thef wight have retired, Sheely
a he overran second. l , , -WILDkHTCH
IS HIDE
: The runners advanced on a -Wild pitch
and Sheely scored on a perfect squeeze
bunt by Byler.
Mulligan's error on Wlstersirs ground
er. and singles by Malsel and 'Blue put
over the Mackmen'a first run. Cox's
single. Koehler's walk, Kingdon's sacri
fice, and an infield out by Pinch Hitter
Spranger put over another run for the
locals in the seventh. Slglin failed to
bit In this pinch, as ha did in the ninth.
In the final frame. Cox doubled to left
center, and advanced on Koehler's out.
Kingdon cracked, a beauty of a double
to: right center, 'scoring Cox. At this
. point -of the game. Manager Johnson
calls ; ."Spider" Baum into the fray and
liosJ, batting for Poison, who pitched
the last two innings, , was thrown out
at., flrsf base by- Johnson. .Slglin then
popped out. It was a sad ' ending.
Biff Schaller gave the fans a thrill
in. t:e eighth by sending two long fouls
Into 'field --fence, one hitting the fence
nd the other disappearing in the clouds.
Wes ; Kingdon pulled several sensa
tional pieces of fielding, his double play
with Blue on the- end of it in the
eighth i Inning was, -a remarkable one.

off Poison' '.mitt. 1 Klngdon , recovered

Benjamin
Wins Over
E. Shannon
By Bob
A FTER six and a half rounds of
fighting which exhibited little or
no championship form on the part of
either : contestant, Joe Benjamin
scored a technical knockout : oVer
Eddie Shannon in th Portland box
tag commission's smoker at he Ar
mory Friday night. Shannon' man
ager-brother tossed a sponge Into the
ring ; when Eddl ,was practically
helpless and reeling and falling
about the ring. The Pacific coast
lightweight title changed hands. f
- It 1 pure speculation as to whether
Shannons poor showing or Benjamin's
improvement brought about the resnit.
It is certain that Shannon exhibited none
of the form or cleverness which was ex
pected of him and which he had dis
played in his previous fights here. That
Benjamin did not finish him sooner
in fact, did not finish him in- the nrst
round Is a- reflection ? onl Benjamin.
Shannon waa a drunken boy after that
first knockdown in the first minute of
the first round. He took the full count
of nine and his head did not clear until
the fourth round. Against a boy in this
shane it would seem that a champion
ship aspirant would do a cleaner and
more expeditious Job. - i
DBOFBED I1T FIRST
Shannon came' out of his corner all
confidence for the intial round. After
a slight exchange' he shot his left out
and missed. Benjamin Hooked his right
over and around the short left lead and
Shannon dropped like a plummet to all
fours. The blow had struck him flush
on the side of the Jaw or ear. He shook
his head and got up at the count of nine
and rushed Benjamin Into a clinch. Ben
jamin fell, partly from the assault and
partly from a blow. . The round was all
Benjamins. - j- - j - i
Shannon was still shaky In the legs
when he came out -for the second, but
despite this he lost it by only a margin.
Benjamin increased his lead in the
third. ... -
8HATT3T01T GAIXS -'
- Shannon seemed to have come to in the
fourth. His famous uppereui went io
work in the cuncnes ana ne Kept, isen
limin'a iM1 hohhiner hack, but the blows
appeared to lack damaging force. . Shan
non earned the round. .
Shannon also took, the fifth by -repeated
straight lefts to the face which
carried little or no steam.
Tha vt--th . Knn t avorahlv for Shan
non. but ended disastrously. That terrific
right of Benjamin's crashed over twice
and twice Eddie hit the canvas. When
he failed to take -a count and recover it
mrm anninnt that he was semiconscious
itti nftf lrnnw what he was doing.
Also terrific body punishment m uus
round put him hvsuch shape that he waa
an easy mark in the sevenin.
K3TOCKDOW3T HURT
Benjamin followed Shannon up in
every round with Shannon doing all the
Alr.m Tt m a nla.n Whinh fitted in
well with Benjamin's style and rendered
Shannon more or less open ai air umes
to the pile-drtvtag right. If Shannon
have been tame and uninteresting. As it
was the bout was exciting with plenty
of action that kept the intensely rival
factions at nign pitcn.
Shannon attributed his easy defeat to
overconfldence and anxiety and conse
quent carelessness. He said he never re
covered after the knockdown in the first
round. Shannon had said that he ex
pected to knock Benjamin out in four
rounda Benjamin had boasted that the
fight would not last over six. H9 was
nearly right.
The rest of the card was bunk. Dick
Brenton toyed with Sammy Gordon for
six and a half rounds, when Gordon's
seconds threw in a sponge. Sammy was
helpless. Be it said to his credit he
had suffered a broken rib in an early
round and could scarcely hold his hands
up after that. Brenton made a splendid
Impression.

Abie Gordon, boxing like a master,

The Follbwino; Statements Are Authentic and Tell the
True Conditions of the. Gasoline Situation
THE SHORTAGE IS ONLY TEMPORARY DO NOT BE
There exists in the" State of Oregon and on the Pacific
Coast a temporary gasoline shortage To eliminate
this shortage and to supply industrial and agricul
tural requirements we , have been convinced that it ,
will be necessary for motorists throughout the entire
Coast to curtail the use of gasoline for pleasure
purposes.
The percentage of curtailment will have , to be
more drastic in Oregon because ;the situation is more
acute . here than in California or Washington, caused
principally by our 56 gravity test" law. v
In artier to conserve "enough gasoline from Port-
land's allotment for agricultural requirements and the
convention period it will be necessary, to curtail for
the next two weeks the use of gasoline for pleasure
riding 80. Such curtailment will give us almost a
normal supply during that period.
Following the convention period and through July
and August there will continue to be a shortage, but
we are. assured by the Oil Companies' representatives
that approximately a 50 of normal supply will be
available. ' ::, ;- A -- ;
There has been a great deal said of late about the
shortage of motor fuel. A great many people think
there is some ulterior motive on the part of the Oil
Companies but' we are convinced that such is not the

being exported has received wide circulation, and it is
true that therfe; has been some exportation, which was
necessary on account of existing contracts but for
each gallon df gasoline exported from this Coast,
four gallons have been brought in from the East.
At the presentltime shipments from the East average
six gallons for each gallon being exported. Oil
officials assurf us that no new export contracts have
been accepted for several months, and that none
will be accepted. r ,
NO OCCASION FOR ALARM SHORTAGE
ONLY TEMPORARY
- We wish to advise the motoring public that there
is no occasion for alarm, but to emphasize and to
assure themr ks the result of the statements made us
by the representatives of the Oil Companies, that the
shortage is bft temporary and that conditions will
again be norkal at the end of the ten weeks' con
servation. We notice! the Oil Companies continue to dot the
city with servjice stations. It does not stand to rea
son that they would make such investments if they
did not know that the present situation was only
. temporary.
