Just before the game started snow began falling,1 which was followed by rain, and after waiting for 15 minutes without any apparent let up. Coach Murphy of Commerce and Coach Thorne agreed to begin hostilities with the proviso that the umpire could call the affair any time he saw fit. ; For two innings the boys played in the rain, and then it ceased, and by the time the engagement was completed the dia mond was as good as ever.;? Sergeant H. E. Davis, the official umpire of the Port land Public High School league, failed to show up, and the coaches agreed on an other arbiter. . The Stenographers scored twice in the first inning on three hits, but the lead was short-lived. The Railsplltters came back with four markers on a trio of bin gles and one error and made one more In each of the 'second and third innings. Commerce made one In the fourth and another in the fifth, tying the score with a couple of 'counters in the seventh. In Lincoln's half of the eighth the vic tors broke the tie after two were out. two runners making home on a passed ball and Swanson's error when he threw wide. In the ninth Commerce staged a rally which netted a run, and the bases were full when the third out was made. Gunther 'replaced King In the eighth and Klynn went on the mound for Gunther in the ninth. The all-aroud playing of Johnny Faust, the Lincoln shortstop, fea tured the matinee, the red-head making four hits in five times at the bat, steal ing four bases -and featuring in the only double play of the game. The fielding of Freddie Collins at second, as'well as "pimy" Flynn at first, was of high cal iber for the winners. jKorhonen struck out 10 -Lincoln bat teirs, and, although he allowed nine hitts, two less than made by his teammates, his six walks and the five errors made bir his players proved too much for htm to overcome.

ToL'.Morrow -- By Earl R. Goedwia - I rnilBmost popular decision ever iren X dered la a Portland ring by a referee gave Lackey Morrow of Spokane a 10- round verdict -seer Joe Oomtaa of Port land in the main "event of the Portland municipal boxing commission's smoker in the Armory Monday night., To the visitor was given one of the most en Qtusfastie and spontaneous ovations ever accorded a winner in a local arena. Referee ; Ralph ' ; Gruman thrust Mor row's hand in the air at the conclusion of the bout without wavering, in fact. It seemed as if the bell had hardly sounded ; when the decision 'was awarded andi just as the boys were coming out of a clinch. Oruman's act seemed to dase even -the most partisan Morrow followers, for' it was several seconds before the outcome was realised and the- tremendous out burst of the fans I started. When it did slant, it lasted until the; last few spec tators had filed out of the biff enclosure. MORBOW BADLT FTJSttSHED .' 1 What held up- the Spokane youth in the first three rounds of the engage ment, only he knows, for he certainly took plenty of nunlshment. He attempted Infighting up to about the middle of the fifth canto and that ' was Just to Gor man's liking, for Gorman sent In many a telling blow which seemed to totter the taller boy. But from the fifth on. Lackey began using his left which i con tinually found itself resting on Joe's chin and face and' he mixed them up by coming through with hard rights, alter nating between the head and body just often enough to make it apparent that Gorman was getting the worst of it. .Never once did Gorman back away, although he did seek shelter several times by going into a clinch. The bat tle was one of the most exciting ever staged in an Oregon ring circle, and return bout certainly would be the signal for a capacity turnout. To Morrow must be given ail the credit -due a winner, for he certainly displayed rare Judgment, was cool throughout and was capable of taking everything Gorman had to offer without hitting the canvas or seeking an "out."j He had the shade as the event progressed, but it did seem that a draw would not have hurt either lad. MORROW IS GAME However. Referee Gruman is entitled to his opinion. It goes as final and he called it as he saw it. Morrow will be a popular boy in these parts, for he is game to the core, asks no favors and ex pects nonei Speck "Woods of ' Bend, Or., wishes he had done a little more training for his bout with Jack Dayls of Seattle. After they had torn arouhd and lunged at each other in the first rOund. Iavis came out of his corner in the second stanza with blood in his eye. The two met in the center of the ring and away, they went. Woods landed a -couple of hard ones, but he stepped a haymaker With his chin and dropped for the count of nine. He got up only td take, another and he re mained On his haunches until nine, only to' have the act repeated. The fourth time he went down Referee Gruman stopped the encounter and awarded Da vis the call. j. Jimmy Valentine St. t'aul, Minn., re ceived a six round decision over Allie, Taylor of Bend. iValeatine carried a little bit too much steim for his op- j ponent, although Taylorj didn't hesitate to mix.
