INTER-CITY LEAGUE BASE BALL Montavilla vs. Lojus Sunday, July 30 3:00 P.M. Salem will have two new men and and Ex -Big Leaguer Ed Kennedy will play first Lojus now out to wm next five games and pennant News 4t WELSH PUT UP GREAI II Leonard Also Showed Cham pionship Material, but Met His Superior New York, July 29. Freddie Welsh showed several thumping good reasons why he is champion lightweight of the world when he licked Benny Leonard at Washington Park, Brooklyn last night. ' There was not. a sign of a tungo step in any one of the ten rounds. It was a stand up and drag out from the start. Excepting one round, the third, Welsh won a'l the way. But he Bhowed a little of Abe Attel", Buttling Nelson and Joe Gang combined, to turn the trick. There is not a man or .woman of the thousands who saw the battle who does not believe Leonard will wear the lightweight crown some time in the future, if he does not spoil it all by thinking he's good enough now to quit lenrning. For the first time in a decade of moons' Now York's fight experts agreed on the result, the quality of the fight put up by both men, the title holder's championship ability and the challenger's championship possibilities. Both men were prime. Their condi tion at the end showed Welsh through out showed rVery evidence of his real ization that he had a lot to live down. Leonard, in every piston like swat and crafty step, showed he wholly realized his opportunity and remembered he was fighting a champion whom ho had beaten on points in a former ten round frucas. First Three Bounds Fierce. 1 The first three rounds were riots. At the start of each and throughout each both boys obviously tried to snntch and hold the offensive. The result was very much whut physics teachers tell us would happen if their irresist able force ran down that bothersome immovable body. Beferee Billy Roche was a lot more skittish and worried and did more tan going and backing off than cither of the fighters. He had to keep away from the showering fists. In the fourth both slowed down, but appar ently not because they were tired. Neither was puffing nnd each was in evitably smiling, especially when the other landed. Leonard had been using a whole of a slam to Welsh's left kidney. Jle placed it. beautifully six or eight times in the first three founds. Every time it brought the champion up with a jolt. Then Welsh used several of his ubi quitous arms andfists to cover bis kidneys as well as his face. Ho was warding of blows like a fencer. But he showed at least a double track fighting brain by leaping out from be hind his defending arms with sufficient jabs and swings and upper cuts to give iiim a good edge at the finish. Welsh got $5.7."0 and Leonard 3,5!)3 for the show. The state got 41. 070.40 which was 7 1-2 per cent ft all the money taken in. To Grab Championship. Portland, Ore., July 29. Oregon ' tennis championships for men are to be grabbed by players from Califor nia and Washington. This was evident today when all Oregon entrants had been eliminated from the tournnment on the Waverley courts, and the invad ers met in final matches to divide the spoils. In the men's singles.

His Day is Done. Sun Francisco, July 29. That the days of Johnny Coulon as a factor in bantamweight boxing nre past was clearly demonstrated in his bout with Eddie Cain pi Inst night when the locnl lad bested him in every phase of their four-round bout. As a bout, it was a disappointment. Although Coulon in sisted thnt the bout was to be called a draw if both men were on their feet at the finish, Deforce Tom Laird's de cision in fnvor of Cnmpi won the ap proval of tho fans. Pacific Coast League . Will (Wig Rake Off San Francisco, July 29. Seventy thousand dollars is tho amount of money that will bo raked into the cof fers of Pacific Const league club own ers before the present season, as the result of the sale of star performers to big time clubs. About 12 league players will go to the majors next year about the same num ber as were graduated lust year. But close observers figure that the amount of money that will be brought by the sale of this year's players will enorm ously exceed thut from lust year's sales. Every club in ffie league has at least one player who will bring in the open market nt least 41,000 more thou the waiver price of 2,500 nnd a few of them may bring five figures. Louis Guisto, the Portland first base man, is undoubtedly the most valuable player in tho league. .Manager Mc Credie has already refused an offer of $12,000 for him, and it is believed by many that he could be sold for $15,000. Three clubs the Chicago Americuus, Pittsburg Nationals and Chicago Cubs would part with that much money to get him, it is believed. ' Next in value is "Ping" Bodie, whose fame as a "fence buster" has been spread from California to the At lantic. Recently it was announced that Manager Hurry Wolverton of the Sim Francisco Heals had refused $10,000 for Bodie. "Swede" Riseberg of Vernon, is highly regarded in the east and when the Chicago White Sox take him over next fall, it is expected that he will bring 7,500. "Speed" Martin, the sensational Oakland pitcher, will also bring a Dig price. Owner J.eavitt of the Oakland club announced some time ago that he was offered $10,000 for the boy. This may be an exaggerated offer, but it is believed Martin can easily be sold for $7,500. Ellis Johnson, Vernon's "cannon ball" pitcher, will undoubtedly bring $4,000 and Marty .Mctlnffigan of the same club $4,500. There is a flock of players who are believed to be worth $3,500 apiece, while Harry Wolter, w ho wants another chance at the major leagues, may bring $4,000. Others valued by the wise men of baseball at more thnn the draft price are Spencer, Fit tery. Couch. Wilie and Brief. "She's out of society, isVt shel" "I think she is. She lunches at home."

The quick ' wit of a London barmaid saved her employer a heavy fine to- day when two detectives at- tempted an arrest under the anti-treating .law. "Two quarts of beer, please, miss," ordered one of the men as the pair sat down at a table in the "pup.',' The ' barmaid brought the beer,' accepted the detective 's money nnd wus about to turn away when the sleulh arose with a triumphant smile. "Now! I've caught you, haven't I f" "Not on your life," was the quick come-back. "You ordered two quarts of beer and you got them. Now you drink them."

Kaiser Confirmed Fryatt Death Sentence Loudon, July 29. Jhat Kaiser. Wli helm himself confirmee the sentence of death found by a courtmurtiul trying Captain Fryatt of the passenger liner Brussels for his attempt to ruin a sub marine, was reported in a dispatch here today. It served further to inflame British feeling against whut press ami public alike branded as surpassing the execution of .Miss ( avell, the British nurse, in cold lilooued ferocity. The dispatch asserted the Duke of Wurtemburg wired the sentence of death pronounced by the naval court miutiul at eebrugge on Fryatt to im perial headquarters asking for confir mation. The war council it was stated, granted this confirmation at once, all its members, including the kaiser und General Krich Von FuikenliHyn, former war minister agreeing on the justice of the death sentence. Joe Decova, 22, of Chicago ended his life beeause it is sain, he couldn't tor get a murder he saw when he was four years old. E Expect Carranza to Accept Plan --Justice Brandeis Only Name So Far Washington, July 2lt. Convinced Car ranza will accept the United states suggestion, made in Acting Secretary of State Polk's note of yesterday aft ernoon that the scope of the proposed joint commission inquiry into United States-Mexican relations be broadened so the commission can get to the bot tom ot the whole trouble, the adminis tration todnv began in earnest the task ot picking the United States members of the commission. Intimations that Supreme Court Jus tice Louis D. Brundeis would head the list ot the Americans, became stronger. It was even said the mutter rested with Brandeis himself to say whether he should tuko up the work. Brandeis' name, it is said, is recommended to appeal to the de facto chief and his group of radical leaders. looday it was intimated that pending a reply by General Carunza none of the other jinnies considered for pluccs on tne commission could be told. Their selection, it is believed, will depend largely on whether the commission is to be headed by Brandeis. The commission, it is understood, will hold its first sessions on the border where it dun cull upon American and .Mexican army officers for opinions re garding the military questions involved in tho negotiations. When that prob lem is solved, it is believed the commis sion will move north to some cool sum mer resort for its deliberations. The question of the rehabilitation id' Mexico's finances will be considered. it is believed. MEAT OUTPUT IN WEST Increase in Production Likely to Eollow Decline of Recent Years, s Pre diction of Investigators. That hereafter there should be. a slow increase in the output of beef awl 'mut ton in the range states of the west, but Hint this increase is likely to be accom pnnied by an increase in the cost of production, ur.e the chief conclusions of a report on "Live Stock Production in the K'leven Far Western Range States," which the department has iust publish ed. This report is one of the five sec tions of the exhuustive report on the meat situation in the United Slates, in the preparation of which the depart ment specialists huve been engaged for some time. It discusses the reasons foi the long decline in meat production in the west nnd explains why there is reas on to believe that this is now a thing of the post. In addition, it includes detailed studies of the preseni cost of producing steers and lnmbs. Between 1910 nnd 1914, the vear in which the investigations on which the report is based were made, the numbers of live stock in the 11 states' of Arizona California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, iNcvadn, Pew .Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington and Wyoming declined about 13 per cent. For this decline the report holds the settlement of public lunds and the consequent reduction of the rnngp primnrily responsible. A nam ber of other causes have contributed to the downward movement, but, it Is pointed out, these huve been more than offset by high prices and therefore more protituble ninge iiuimals, anil the gen eral agricultural development which have favored production by lending to a more widespread adoption of the prac tice of winter feeding and winter pas turing on ulfulfa und cultivated crops. The prediction that this decrease hereufter will give wnv to an increase is based upon the belief that the amount of live stock on farms und homesteads will be greater in the future; that the stock ranges in the national forests will continue to improve; that the car rying rapacity of the stock ranges on the public domain may be increased by legnl regulation; and, finally, that high prices of range animals nnd lietter meth ods will result in a more efficient util ization of the available forage, or, in other words, a greater production per unit or forage. Price of Shoes High and Is Going Higher Chicago, July 29. Kvidence of how the Kuropeaii war pinching tender American toes ami pocketbopks was shown here today nt the closing session of the Hinois Shoe Retailers associa tion. O. L. Triebel.

' Germans Execute British Sea Captain Berlin, via Sayville Wireless, July 27 (delayed) Captain Charles Fryatt of the British merchant steamer Brus sels was executed for a "Fraucticrs crime" against armed German sea for ces on order of a field court of the navy corps, according to official dis patches from Brugge today.
