John's vs. Woodstock at Wall street. Mt Bcott vs. W. O. W. 77 at Ken dall's station. Salem vs. Camas at Salem. Unless the Rain God hides with in the next few hours It will be im possible for the Balem Senators to stage their regularly scheduled Port land City league same at Oxford park against Camas tomorrow af ternoon. However, Salem baseball officials are preparing to hold the game If at all possible and have been making big plans to greet Jim- my Burton, former Salem player, and his protegees with strong oppo sition. After tomorrow's tilt one of the two teams will be securely settled In third place, while the loser will be shunted to fourth place. "Frisco' Edwards, manager of the Solons, feels confident that Salem will win, though admitting the fact that the visitors are bringing a strong team here, well balanced in all de partments of the game. Ills chief worry is the twirling of Pitcher Tom Gressett, Burtons mainstay, and mighty tough customer against the Senators last year. St. John's, with the kind of pitch Ing that they have been getting so far, should easily defeat the cellar champions Woodstock in their game at Wall street. Woodstock has failed to win a game to date and apparently will continue to strive vainly. Montavilla and Nicolal cross bats in a game that Is expected to be nip and tuck throughout though the league leading Villlans have the edge. However, Nicolal strengthened since their appearand? in Salem and have been going better. In the other league game between Mt. Scott and W. O. W. at Kendall station, the Tigers are conceded the edge, due to the pitching of "Lefty" Schroeder. Nevertheless the Axe wielucrs will furnish several thrills, it is predicted, as they have a strong hitting team. Laird will bo behind the bat In the game tomorrow, which is slated to start at 2:30 sharp, Baseball Summary CORVALLIS LAD WINS OVER LA GRANDE BOY Pendleton, May 21.

New York's baseball representa tives who are leading both major leagues were looking to their laurels today after tasting unaccustomed defeat. A Yankee winning streak of seven games was ended by the Cleveland Indians who took a 2 to 1 decision, and the Giants were slugged into submission, 8 to 3, by a boarding party of Pittsburgh Pirates In the twelfth. To make the defeat of the metro politan team complete, the Brook lyn Robins dropped one to the Chi cago Cubs, 7 to 5. A 12 to 5 victory for the Athletics over the White Sox at Chicago drew attention to a hot battle for second place In the American league behind the Yanks. The Sox hold the covet- j ed rung now. A double header between tne pnns and the Reds gave old Cy Williams, Quaker right fielder, an opportunity to hit three homers and tie the sea son's record of nine now held joint ly bv Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig. He made one in the first which the Reds won, 6 to 3, and two In the second which the Phils took, 15 to 2. BYRNES KNOCKS MANNING OUT IN FOURTH CANTO Mill City, Or., May 21.

While Flook is Just starting out his ring career, he certainly looks like a comer. He put McCormick to the floor for a nine count in the first, and in the third was boring in when McCor mick was disqualified for holding and hitting.

SHARKEY KILLS TITLE HOPES OF MALONEYJN STH New York, May 21. MWack Sharkey, Boston fighter of Lithuan ian ancestry loomed today as i formidable contender for the heavy weight crown. With a tigerish two-fisted attack he battered his way to a technical knockout victory over his fellow Bostonian. Jimmy Maloney, In the fifth round of their battle at the Yankee stadium last night. Lying in wait through the earlier rounds, the lithe ex-sailor held the fire of his charge until the fourth round when he sprang with a fury that sent Maloney to the floor with a smashing right to the Jaw. As Maloney bounded to his feet the bell clanged, but his head still was hazy as the fifth began. The swift-striding Sharkey, teeth clenched, eyes glinting, went In for the kill. Another wild, desperate rush by the bruised and bleeding Maloney, then Sharkey's swinging left hook shook his opponent to his heels and an overhead right and a left, landing almost together, swung him clear oil his leet. Maloney tried to rise, turning to ward the towering cx-sailor whom he could hardly see through closing eyes. A struggle almost to one knee and he fell forward, all but sense less. The referee intervened. But the count was over. "Techni cal knockout," the end was called, but it carried all the finality of straight "kayo." To do It Sharkey brought to bear a power of punch which brought gasps of sur prise. The blow that did more than any other to finish the burley Ma loney was a newly-developed wea pon, a devastating right, which car rled even more dynamite than the hooking left on which the tar had pinned his nopes in iignts ueiore. With that addition to his arma ment, Sharkey became one of the most formidable and resourceful of Jieavyweight contenders as well as a definite menace to tne title holder Gene Tunncy, who looked on with rapt attention. Sharkey beat the slugging Malo ney at his own game of solid punch ing, even as he beat the huge negro. Harry Wills, at Wills' own game 01 in-fighting last fall. As the men entered the ring they glared the ill-feeling which has ex isted for months, and Maloney turn ed his broad back In contempt. With more speed than has been seen here at least since the Demp- sey-Pirpo title fray, the two swapped whirlwind punches, fast but each carrying the weight of huge muscles and bulging pounds of heft. Sharkey was the weaving, dodg ing cat, Maloney the rushing bull. For three rounds they fought vic iously and the crowd could see they were snarling threats at each other as the tide of battle carried them together for a moment, The end came with melodramatic suddeness and many in the great arena never saw the punch that sent Maloney down for the first time in the fourth round. There were two dancing, nailing figures, then a blur from Sharkey's shoulder and the form In the green trunks drop- j ped like a log. j Instead of waiting for the bell that would have saved him. the stricKen Maioney caued back his failing strength and rose to drive INDIANS DEFEAT ASHLAND 12 TO 4 IN RAGGED GAME Chemawi, May 21.
