Mexican Youth is Unable to
Lift Crown From Junior
Ughtweight King
BY VICTOR G. 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.

The Whitman college baseball

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.
Prosecutor Milroy said after
receipt of the evidence that he had
not looked at it and could give no

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.

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.
There is a universally accepted maxim that a witness found to be
false in one part of his testimony is to be distrusted in alL '
