PROBABLE BRANDE|S
WILL HEAD COMMISSION
Expect Carranza to Accept
Plan = Justice Brandeis
Only Name So Far

Washington, July 29.-COnvinced Car
rama will accept the United States
suggestion, made in Acting Secretary
of State Polk Is 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 of the whole trouble, the admins,
tration today began in earnest the task
of picking the United States members
of the commission.
Intimations that Supreme Court JUS
tice Louis ID. Brandeis would head the
list of the Americans, became stronger.
1t was even said the matter rested with
Brandeis himself to say whether he
should take up the work. Brandeis
name, it is said, is recommended to
appeal to the de facto chief and his
group of radical leaders.
To-day it was intimated that pending
a reply by General Caranza none of the
other names considered for places on
the 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 dan call upon American and
Mexican army officers for opinions re-
garding the military questions involved
in the negotiations. When that prob
lem is solved, it is believed the commits
sion will move north to some cool sum
mer resort for its deliberations.
The question of the rehabilitation of
Mexico's finances will be considered,
it. is believed.

MEAT OUTPUT IN WEST
Increase in Production Likely to Follow
Decline of Recent Years, Is Pre-
diction OF Investigators.

That hereafter there should be Il slow
increase in the output OF beef and NUT
ton in the range states of the west, but
that this increase is likely to be accom-
panied by an increase in the cost of
production, are the chief conclusions of
a report on ''Iive Stock Production in
the Eleven Far Western Range States, "
which the department has just publish
ed. This report is one of the five see
tions of the exhaustive report ON the
meat situation in the United States, in
the preparation of which the depart
ment specialists have been engaged for
some time. 1t discusses the reasons for
the long decline in meat production in
the west and explains why there is reas-
on to believe that this is now thing
of the past. In addition, it includes
detailed studies of the present cost of
producing steers and lambs.
Between 1910 and 1914, the year in
which the Investigations on which the
report is based were made, the numbers
of live stock in the / states of Arizona,
California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana,
Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah,
Washington and Wyoming declined
about IL per cent. For this decline the
report holds the settlement of public
lands and the consequent reduction Of
the range primarily responsible. A mum
ber of other causes have contributed to
the downward movement, but, it is
pointed out, these have been more than
offset by high prices and therefore more
profitable range animals, and the gen.
eral agricultural development which
have favored production by leading to a
more widespread adoption of the prac-
tice of winter feeding and winter pas.
turing on alfalfa and cultivated crops.
The prediction that this decrease
hereafter will give way to an increase
is based upon the belief that the amount
of live stock on farms and homesteads
will be greater in the future; that the
stock ranges in the national forests
will continue to improve; that the ear
rying capacity of the stock ranges ON
the public domain may be increased by
legal regulation; and, finally, that high
prices of range animals and better meth
DDS win result in more efficient util-
ization of the available forage. or, in
other words, a greater production per
unit or forage.

of Baseball

OF course there's many slip be-
tween the pennant and the pole, but
nevertheless the Salem section of the
tntercity league is feeling pretty
cheerful at present over the prospects
for landing in place one at the close

The game tomorrow between Monta-
villa and the Lojus promises good
things for the SPECTATORS Ed Kennedy
comedian and first baseman, who was
a big feature in the battle, last Sun
day, is again slated to appear in his
celebrated character of gloom-dispeller
and lightning in-fielder. Kennedy has
been in Portland this week, and has
written to Manager Klett that he has
secured Tom O'Brien, who has been
playing high-class ball with an eastern
college team, to help out the Lojus.
Kennedy says "You need have no
fears of your pennant chances now" "
In addition to O'Brien, who is
marked down to cover third bag in
place of Griggs, Frisco" Edwards,
well known to baseball fans of the
Northwest, will be in the Loju lineup.
He will play in left field.
News has floated into the local camp
that the Montavilla aggregation is
much stronger than when they appear
ed here last.
Kirby Drennen will umpire.
The Lojus are scheduled to play at
Rainier week from Sunday.

result of the sale Of star performers

About II league players will 90 to the

close observers figure that the amount

Every club in the league has at least
one player who will bring in the open
market at least 81 900 more than the
waiver price of $2,500 and few of
them may bring five figures.
Louis Guisto, the Portland first base
man, is undoubtedly the most valuable
player in the league. Manager Nc
Credie has already refused an offer of
$4,000 for him, and it is believed by
many that he could be sold for $4,000.

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 $500. "Speed" Martin, the
sensational Oakland pitcher, will also
bring big price. Owner Leavitt of the
Oakland club announced some time ago
that he was offered $4,000 for the boy.
This may be an exaggerated offer, but
it is believed Martin can easily be sold
for $500.
Ellis Johnson, Vernon's "cannon
ball" pitcher, will undoubtedly bring
$4,000 and Marty McGaffigan Of the
same club $4,000. There is flock of
players who are believed TO be worth
$3,50O apiece, while Harry Wolter, who
wants another chance at the major
leagues, may bring $4,000. Others valued
by the wise men of baseball at more
than the draft price are Spencer, Fit.

WELSH PUT Up GREAT
FIGHT WITH LEONARD
Leonard Also Showed Cham
pionship Material, but Met
His Superior

New York, July 29-Freddie Welsh
showed several humping good reasons
why be is champion lightweight of the
world when he licked Benny Leonard
at Washington Park, Brooklyn last
night.
There was not a sign of a tango
step in any one of the ten rounds. 1t
was stand up and drag out from the
start. Excepting one round, the third,
Welsh won all the way. But he showed
little of Abe Attel, Battling Nelson
and Joe Cans combined, to turn the
trick.
There is not 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
learning.
For the first time in decade of
moons New 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 every evidence of his real
ization that he had lot to live down.
Leonard in every piston like swat and
crafty step, showed he wholly realized
his opportunity and remembered he
was fighting champion whom he had
re 70 Il
fracas.
First Three Rounds Fierce.
The first three rounds were riots. At
the start of each and throughout each
both boys obviously tried to snatch
and hold the offensive. The result
was very much what physics teachers
tell us would happen if their irresist-
able force ran down that bothersome
immovable body.
Referee Billy Roche was lot more
skittish and worried and did more tan
the fighters. He had to keep away
from the showering fists. In the
fourth both slowed down, but appar-
emily not because they were tired.
Neither was putting and each was in
evitably smiling, especially when the
other landed.
Leonard had been using whale of
slam to Welsh's left kidney. He
placed it beautifully six or eight times
in the first three rounds. Every time
it brought the champion up with a jolt.
Then Welsh used several of his ubi-
quitous arms and fists to cover his
kidneys as well as his face. He was
warding of blows like a fencer. But
he showed at least double track
fighting brain by leaping out from be-
hind his defending arms with sufficient
iabs and swings and upper cuts to give
him a good edge at the finish. Welsh
got $3.50 and Leonard 1858 for the
show. The state got $l,07O.4O which
was Z 1-2 per cent of all the money
taken in.

The German title of won" as prefix
before a surname was in feudal times
the privilege of the landed barons, who

lands. In modern times, however, the
prefix won may be granted as title
of nobility by the German emperor or

the empire 1t does not carry any
privileges or emoluments with it. 1t
Is recorded in the heraldry office in
Berlin if granted by the emperor as
kaiser or as king of Prussia, in Munich
if granted by the king of Bavaria,
Leipzig if conferred by the king OF
Saxony, etc. The recipient is not given
a diploma with it. 1t may be. like the
English title of baronet, personal or
hereditary-that is, it may be grant

may descend to his sons. 1t cannot be
assumed by any one, but may be earn
