Seventeen thousand eight hun
dred and sixty-four persons paid
137.295.BO last night to see Jack
Dempsey In a four-round exhibition,
admittedly the second step of his
attempt to climb back to the
championship. And Judging by the
ovation given him, the Multnomah
dvlo stadium throng will be with
him all the way.
' Still carrying a little extra flesh,
the ex-champlon showed speed and
the power was not gone from his
Jeft.
' It showed In the first two rounds.
Dempsey wore big gloves. The right
one dropped Big Bill Hartwell, Bos
ton negro, for a nine count, then
the left hit him on the side of
the head and Hartwell took the
count, the whole fracas lasting a
little more than one minute.
'' McRae Lasts Quick
The left did for Dave McRae,
Tulsa, In less than a minute.
Denny Lenheart, Portland, boxed
and swapped punches with the
mauler for the next two rounds.
The local boy placed a couple to
the Jaw and then made Dempsey
expend himself for a time, but the
latter didn't seem to mind the
pace.
Dempsey completely won the spec
tators when it was announced he
would take on the fourth opponent
provided for him In an extra two
rounds. Bob Marlels, Portland, stay
ed the course, too, though Demp
sey staggered him once.
The ex-champlon goes from hero
to Seattle where he Is billed for
the third exhibition of his tour
Wednesday night.

With Rod and Gun
A letter prepared by the office
of gams commissioners of Harrls
burg, Pa., and mailed all sports
men's organizations la read with
great interest by local conservation
ists, who heartily agree with the
sentiment expressed.
The letter Is addressed to em
ployees of the board of game com
missioners and emphasizes the nec
essity for keeping the game com
mission free from politics.
"Fish and game cannot vote, nor
Is their welfare and protection a
Republican or Democratic activity,"
the letter states. "It Is paid for
exclusively by our sportsmen, and
la for the good of all political
parties and of all creeds and con
ditions. It Is therefore your duty
as an employee of the game com
mission to enforce the game, fish
and forestry laws and to protect
the wild life of this commonwealth
without fonr or favor.
"The game commission and alt
Its employees are, and must con
tinue to keep out , of politics, and
as our employees are retained In
their positions during satisfactory
and loyal service. It 1b - without
question your duty to adopt at
an elections an absolutely non
partisan attitude so far as political
activity Is concerned.
"America has- discovered to her
sorrow that conservation and politics
do not mix. In- many states whore
politics control the sportsmen's
fund, contributed for the purpose
of protecting and propagating wild
life, th lives of the beasts and
birds have too often been traded
for votes.
"This Is not the case In Penn
sylvania where the non-partisan
board of game commissioners Is
supported by the sportsmen."

MAJOR LEAGUES
Gomez Turns In 16th Vic
tory Of Season In Yankee
Uniform Mahaffey Wins
14th For Athletics.
By Edward f. Nell
(Associated Press Sports Writer)
A spindly left-hander and a tall
right hand sharpshooter, both from
the finishing school of the Pacific
Coast league, are proving better and
better arguments, as the season wears
on. In favor of the fancy prices the
west coast youngsters command In
the major league baseball market.
Consider the left-hander, Vernon
Gomez, late of the San Francisco
Seals, polished a bit last season In
St. Paul, and now ace of the Yankee
pitching staff. In a year when the
Yank hurling eccentricities have sent
peppery Jco McCarthy, Yankee pilot,
home to mope over his victuals, Go
mess has been the savior of many a
good evening meal.
Wins 16th Game
Yesterday he turned In his 16th
victory of t,ie season, an 8 to 6 con
quest of the Chicago White Sox that
ran the Yankee winning streak to
six, a new high for the team this
season.
The right hander, Leroy Mahaffey
of Connie Mack's staff of., world
champion Athletics, turned In an
even more stylish performance to win
his fourteen victory of the season
against only two defeats. The 1929
graduate from Portland, Ore., limited
the St. Louis Browns to five hits
while the A's were belting Sammy
Gray. Goose Goslin's 20th;, homer
cost Leroy a shutout.
Detroit pulled up out of the
American league cellar and the White
Sox were plunked to the bottom as
the Tigers nosed out Washington In
a free hitting struggle, 6 to 6. The
Tigers reached the heights of sixth
place when the Boston Red Sox
crumbled under Cleveland's pound
ing, 11 to 7. and fell back a notch
ahead of Chicago.
Many Rained Out
Rain obliterated all but the battle
of the New. York Giants and Chi
cago Cubs for second place In the
National league and as far as results
were concerned that double-header
might as well have gone overboard
too. The Cubs piled on Clarence
Mitchell for five runs In the fourth
Inning of the first game and picked
up three more to win for Bob Smith,
8 to 4.
In the second game, however, BUI
Terry hit his second homer of the
day, this . time In the ninth inning
with the score tied one-one, and he
broke Up a pitching tusslo between
Ouy Bush and Preddy Fltzslmmons
to give the Giants a 2 to 1 victory.
