SIDI.ER Associated Press Sports Writer WRIGLEY FIELD, Itos Anpel es. May 20. (AP). The title quest of Baby .Sal Sorio. a boy ish San Bernardino, Mexican, was halted by the Jabbing, flashing left of Tod Morgan, junior light weight champion at the end of 10 rounds here tonight. The champion won the decision, re taining his title. The 19-year-old Mexican who had hoped to succeed where oth ers of his countrymen had failed In the winning of a world's title was defeated decisively by the title-holder, who took all but two of the sessions. Sorio was at his best in the third and eighth rounds and scored a momentary knockdown in the former but Morgan was too much for him with his greater experience, rirg generalship and boxing ability. In only the two rounds which the Mexican took did Sorio effect ively use his widely touted jotting right hand. In the third he put the champion to the cariva with several rights and lefts to the head. Morgan, who claimed a foul, weathered the storm successfully but his Brown-skinned opponent had a wide margin on th? round. Again In the eighth Sorio was able to connect with his right and he had Morgan in distress, but not to the extent of being close to a knockout. Morgan won all of the other rounds wiht his tantalizing yet kard left which kept in Sorlo's face and body, oftentimes with- out a return. In the fifth round h scored with 25 lefts to the head and body without a return blow from the Mexican. Morgan had rather an easy time In winning. His left constantly tinned Sorto's head back, or sent the Mexican back on his heels. Sorio, when he tried to let his right go, found it nailed to his side. . :M 'owil iW4 -cAr v.. .. li:ui rn V v , J V v I v - v ' X I ?r - ; --A- ' x&rts r?' .. aa I 1 ft A A j rCjs' h 1 V 1 " - " . - j h i rr"' LI ?

One Bad Inning Causes Upset in Bearcat Hopes; Houk Socks Home Run i The Whitman college baseball team took the first game of the Northwest conference champion ship series from Willamette uni versity's ball tossers Monday at Walla Walla, by a 5 to 3 score ac cording to word received from "Spec" Keene, Willamette coach. The Bearcats played good ball except for one bad Inning which proved fatal to their chances to win. Houk, Willamette third baseman, accounted for two of the local team's runs by hitting a ho mer with one man on base. Ledbetter pitched good ball, Keene reported. Van Nice will start today's game. If necessary, a third game will be played Wed nesday. Both Willamette and Whitman were undefeated In their respec tive divisions of the conference.

He is charged for all the papers he delivers. Failure of 4-subscriber to pay Is loss to the xarrier.i Confirmation of early season predictions that there would be fast baseball and "nothing else but" played in the Oregon-Washington league, was seen at Olinger field Sunday when the Albany Al- cos nosed out the Salem Senators 5 to 4. Only, two of Albany's runs those inrthe first inning scored on Burke's three bagger and Suther land's home run were earned, so it was no fault of King Cole's pitching that the Senators lost. There were some bobbles and some bad breaks, and while the Senators outhit the Alcos 8 to 6, the local team could stand ffome improvement in the clouting de partment especially in the pinches. Red Ridings Makes Two Costly Errors Two of the errors were chalked up against Red Ridings, who can be counted on to commit few more this season. So there is really nothing to worry about the Senators, han dicapped by a late start, will get going soon. Harris of Albany pitched re markable ball, and in spite of four hits, held the Senators scoreless for five innings. Then hits by Plllette and Edwards and a sa crifice' by Gill, counted for one run In the sixth, and after Gole- man and Flelschman had singled in the seventh, they came In on two fielder's choices. Ridings Starts Futile Rally Late In Ninth Ridings started what looked like a winning rally in the ninth when he reached first on a hard chance, stole second and came all the way home on the over throw. But there were already two gone and Clonnlger was fore ed at second to end the game. Albany AB R H PO A E ..411300 Results COAST LEAGUE Sand a j Seattle 3-7, Pprtlacd 2 6. (Second game 11 innings.)

United States National Bank MALICE or IGNORANCE? In an article published in one of Portland's newspapers under the signature of Kenneth G. Harlan an attempt is made to show that PORTLAND ELECTRIC POWER COMPANY has issued and outstanding millions of dollars of securities representing no value. The article states: s "The annual report of the Portland Electric Power company shows that it has stocks and bonds outstanding on December 31, 1927, in the amount of $112,064,000.79, with a total property valuation of only $80,179,058." The clear inference to be drawn from the quoted statement was that on December 21, 1927, this company had outstanding obli gations of $1 1 2,064,000.79, or approximately $32,000,000 more than the property valuation. The annual report of this company for the year 1 927, filed with the Public Service Commission and to which Mr. Harlan refers, did not state that on December 31, 1 927, there were outstanding stocks and bonds in the amount of $1 1 2,064,000.79. The said report listed: 'Total stocks or ownership liability $34,688,196. Long-term debt $77,375,804.79." TJie same report, on the same page, listed the following securities owned by the company: Sinking funds Reacquired securities Treasury securities .$ 8,444,449.11 343,300.00 ...23,910,000.00 $32,697,749.11 The item of $8,444,449. 1 I represented the par value of bonds purchased by the company in the market under the Sinking Fund provisions of its mortgages and no longer constituted a liability. The item of Reacquired Securities, $343,300, represented stock of the company reacquired and owned by the company. The item of 23 10, 000 of Treasury Securities represented the par value of unsold bonds of the company on which not one cent of interest had been accrued or paid. The three items, aggregating $32,697,749.1 I, constituted and were a part of the $ 1 12,064,000.79 referred to by Mr. Harlan. The par value of capital stock and bonds of this company actually outstanding on December 31, 1927, therefore, amounted to $79, 366,251.68 instead of $112,064,000.79, as stated by Mr. Harlan. - , ' At the time of writing the article referred to, and for a long time prior thereto, Mr. Harlan had possession of the reports detailing the facts, as above stated. He was either incompetent to read and understand the re ports, or wiUtdly misrepresented the facts. In the same article Mr. Harlan quoted an unidentified auditor as authority for a statement made in 1924 as follows: "He said the company had more than $90,000,000 of bor rowed capital on which it was carrying on its business at that time." At no time since the organization of this company has its liability for borrowed capital ever exceeded $46,000,000.
