Kallio's pitching, Jim Poole's batting
and a couple of sensational catches by Cox
and Cenln featured the 3 to 2 victory
of the Portland Beavers In tbe final
game : of the series -with 'the Colored
Giants here yesterday, Rogan. the star
of the Giants, opposed the Mackmen. The
Beavers played a high class brand of
baseball and looked like a real club in
the same. The fielding was faultless as
far as tnlsplays were concerned, but there
were a couple of slip-ups In judgment.
The ' Giants played their hardest
against the Beavers bat the three run
lead garnered tn the second Inning was
too much for them ; to overcome,
XaIXIO SHOWS UP WELl
KaIUo pitched a masterful game. Dur
ing the first four innings he whiffed four
batsmen and did not allow a single base
on balls .and was touched up for but
one hit a triple by Woods in the, first
of the third inning. Rudy's curves were
breaking nicely, and it appears as
though he is going to be one of the most
dependable hurlers on the Beavers' staff
this season. He is rounding into splen
did form and as yet has not had a bit
of trouble with his arm.
Ross, who replaced Kallio, was a trifle
wild, but when called upon to bear down
tn the pinch held the Giants at bay.
He did not walk a batter, but hit three
of them with the, ball and .allowed eight
hits. He struck out five men. Poole
KraDDeo mree niu & single, & uouoie
and a triple in five times up. Rip .King
looked good at the bat, also he made
two h'ta and. was robbed of a possible
three bagger when Hawkins made' a one
handed, stab of a. Jine drive in the
.eighth inning.
JJO ebboes '.
'' 'The big catcher' loked like a million
dollars behind the plate.. He handled the
pitching of Kallio and Ross faultlessly
and made two dandy catches of foul tips.
Altogether he handled a dozen chances
without a boot. . ,
' There, Is no getting away, from the
fact that should McCredie land the play
ers he expects to from the major league,
the Beavers will be a strong aggrega.

. Portland scored its three runs 1ft the
.second. Cox beat out a bunt down the
third base .line 'and Poole rolled along

for Rogan to handle and filled the sack.
Paton's drive over second , base scored
Cox and Poole, and King scored on a

Rogan for the third out. '

to score, hut the Giants were on their

Tozze. is none other than Roeky Kansas
and his bid for the smiles of Dame For
tune .will be reontested by Willie. Jackson
in a bout that promises no end of action.
Since he jumped into the spotlight
overnight by flattening .Richie Mitchell
with one punch, the feat that took Benny
Leonard six rounds, Kansas has beenJ
the most interesting figure in the light
weight division. The boxing fans Are
divided regarding' his real ability and
contentions that his sensational defeat
of Mitchell in Buffalo was attended by
luck, were somewhat upheld when he met
Richie two weeks later and won a popu
lar decision though' failing to repeat his
knockout . victory. .' .
C1KPU5CH
But Kansas is a puncher. More,. he
is somewhat of a freak, lie Is short in
stature and barrel-chested, with gorilla
llke arms that reach nearly to hia knees.
He fights with his head well out at the
way and the only time he isn't dangerous
is when he is asleep. Incidentally, no
boxer has ever knocked him out since
he became a seasoned professional.
Regardless of what else he ha done,
Kansas has proves conclusively that he
is Mitchell's master. Jackson, who has
boxed Kansas several times in n -decision
bouts, compares very favorably
with Lew Tendler, one of the country's
leading 135-pounders, so these lads repre
sent the best element on Benny Leonard's
trait :;--.- - - '
When they . get together in Madison

something definite to fight for: Tex
Rickard has promised the winner - an
open air battle with Leonard as soon
as the champion gets ready to start h is
summer campaigns "Such a match will
mean 125,000 to the winner and no more
attractive incentive could- be offered.
FAT OB WILLIE j '' ;
Boxing critics of Gotham are inclined
to favor Jackson, i Perhaps it ta largely
because the local lad s acknowledged to
be the better boxer. , But Kansas has his
share of admirers land' though Jackson
probably will enter the ring a -favorite, :
the odds will be very short. A man
with a wallop like Kansas is not a good
risk.. ' ,

place. Edward Spencer on the ineligible
list, after the rotund catcher jumped to
the Idaho Sugar league last spring, and
his sale to the Seattle club for a price
said to be $4000. has caused consider
able comment in the ; Beaver training
quarters. . ,
Why Spencer should be given a clean
? " ot. naltn while other players who
foppd trom ranks of organised
D8ebau have been suspended for
ferlods rn"isg from three to five years,

kind that causes dissatisfaction among
baseball players, as they figure that if
one player can get away with it they
Can, too. ;-;
COOK'S HA5D SEES
Spencer refused tn inin s.ti-t .t. to.t
spring. He was merely suspended by
Secretary Jack Cook of the Bees. who.
it is said, had . some money tied up In
the big. catcher. By selling Spencer to
Seattle, Cook gets back his money and
the player is back in the good graces
of baseball.
Manager Walter McCredie of the
Beavers is not saying anything about
the deal, but by his remarks it can be
judged that t did not meet with his
favor,- .
"Organised baseball makes a big mis
take when it reinstated some of the con
tract jumpers to the Federal league,"
said McCredie. I will never again re
instate a player who has juroped the
Portland club. Those kind of players
never do baseball any good and it is
better for the game to have them out
of If .
IS GOOD 1E8S0X ,
Several other , players who .hopped to
the Idaho league have been suspended
for five years and by that time their
usefulness to high, class clubs will be
niU; -
The ruling of the National association
to punish the contract and reserve Hat
jumpers should be a good lesson to the
