SKEPTICS NOW SHOWN UP Arthur Cavill, With' Two Others, De clares That It's Easy to Swim the Willamette Any Day, Christmas or Otherwise. In orter to demonstrate to some of the skeptics who have doubted the feasibility of his proposed Christmas day swim of the Willamette River. Arthur Cavill, swimming Instructor of the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club, accompanied by Harry Roberts and Ira Clarke, swam the Willamette River from the Portland Rowing Club's pontoon to a point on the west Side, directly opposite, yesterday afternoon. Some time ago Cavill announced that he would have some 30 or more members of his classes swim the Willamette River on Christmas day, and on the strength of his assertion two handsome trophy cups have beeri offered by enthusiastic members of the club for the winners. and Cavill has enlisted a number of swimmers in the competition to date. Some of his entries commenced to get cold feet because of the jibes of their fellow clubmoi, who scouted the possi bilfties of Cavill's idea, and when the swimming Instructor got wind of the occurrences he announced to a few per sonal friends that he would swim the river, even if a blizzard prevailed. Harry Roberts, who is a member of the firm of Roberts Brothers, was one of the fronds, and he immediately volunteered to accompany Cavill, and yesterday morn ing Ira Clarke heard of the proposition, and hunting Cavill up insisted on also being allowed to make the swim. At 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon the trio went to the Portland Rowing Club, where they donned bathing suits and with only a single boat, with an attend ant accompanying them, set out across the river. The swim was accomplished In good time and was witnessed by a number of boathouse proprietors and a few mill hands and dock hands, but as It was unannounced none knew of the reasons for the feat. In club circles the feat created considerable talk, and the Christ mas day idea is now being much more favorably received since Its practicability has been so signally demonstrated. "Why It was Just as easy as taking a champagne bath," said Cavill last night, "for the water is much warmer than most people imagine. Anyhow I was tired of the Joshing and sneering of a few knockers who cannot see any merit in any new idea, so I decided to show them that it was easy, and selected yesterday simply because of the snow storm prevailing, which always causes atmospheric-conditions " to appear colder than really is the case. Mr. Roberts and Mr. Clarke volunteered to. accompany me, and we succeeded in making the swim easily. 'The river is somewhat wider at this place than at the site of the Christmas day route, but the water was not as .cold as we had expected. The only chill we experienced was emerging on the West Side, but we wrapped ourselves in blankets and were hurried back to the Portland Rowing Club for rubdowns and the like, which soon made us feel all right once more. W are going to have that Christmas day swim, all right, and don't forget that there will be a good sized bunch of starters." Two handsome cups, contributed by S. T. Britten and Oliver King Jeffery, are now on exhibition at the Multnomah Club, and both trophies are offered as prizes for the Christmas day swim. PIRATES JMAY TRAIX OS COAST Idea of Skipping Hot Springs .Ap peal to President Dreyfus. PITTSBURG. Pa., Dec. E. (Special.) The Pittsburg champions will likely not go to Hot Springs this coming Spring, but inntead will train at San Francisco, and will Play their Spring practice games on the Coast. Barney Dreyfus, president, has recetved an offer from Jack Gleason. of San Francisco, to train in the ball park at San Francisco, and -so Impressed is The champions' owner with the idea, he has written Fred Clarke to hasten East from Kansas for a conference as to train ing grounds. "The matter will likely be settled 1n New Tork n&kt week- at our banquet," said Drevfus. "Clarke will have a chance , there to talk with most of the players and will get their views on the matter. 1 dark of course will ha'e th last word. I must say the idea of the trip appeals to me.' I believe he would be able to get in good shape on the Coast, but there may be something of which I know noth ing and so I will let the matter rest with Clarke." -MOCXT AXGEL ..BOYS READY Basketball Team Out to Win Honors This Year. MOUNT ANGEL CCLLEGE, Or., (Spe cial.) The prospect for a fast basket ball team appears to be better than ever at .Mount Angel College. The quintet, through the careful training of A. J.

Division of Receipts Puzzles Fans on Broadway. BATTLE WILL BE BLOODY Johnson's and " Jeffries Tactics In Ring Compared Neither Light ning Finisher- Utah and Call- f ornia Seek Honors. NEW YORK. Dec. 6. (Special.) Is Jim Jeffries fearful over the outcome of his pugilistic encounter with Lil Atha Johnson? Else, why should-the former king of the heavyweights Insist on a 75 and 25 per cent division of the purse that $101,000 and the additional, rake-off from the picture money? This question is racking the brains of local students of the ring game. In the olden days Jeffries never haggled over a whack-up of the coin. He always took it for granted that only a victory would fall to his lot, is the argument heard along Broadway. Battle Will Be Bloody. That the battle is to be a bloody affair. bringing out every ounce of stamina In each of the gladiators, is the dope heard on all sides. Neither principal ifi noted as a lightning finisher. In the majority of his contests, Jeffries won by sheer brute strength, after beating his oppo nent into a state of helplessness. ' Perhaps it is the thought of the dis tance to be covered and the many chances for a slip that's worrying the giant CalifOrnian. Perhaps he Isn't so sure about his ability to round into the old-time form. Jeffries alone can speak for his condition. Johnson always has been a waiter. He rarely advances a etep, and is seldom known to rush an opponent. On the contrary, the "dusky fighter is a cool. heady chap, with a strong penchant for standing back to meet the bull-like charges of his foe. Then the deadly right uppercut is brought to bear. And the rest is usually a matter of time. That the championship title will be decided in Utah also is the belief of DEMAEEST IS j C. DEilAREST. GEORGE SUTTON. Calvin Demarest, the Chicago billiardist. who defeated Champion George Sutton in the recent championship billiard tournament and is now entitled to the premier honors, is a comparatively young man. A few years ago, as an amateur, he won the National championship In that division by defeating Sigourney, of -California, and since then he has improved steadily. Sutton de . featefr him once before, and hag advanced himself to championship honors. Sutton displayed the usual temperament of the veteran against the younger man by exhibiting nervousness in the final contest of a competition between several men which finally narrowed down to two, and Demarest. by playing the steadier game, completely outclassed the veteran, who had won many com petitions. - Calvin Demarest Is now the American champion billiardist and Is also en titled to a claim on the European title because he defeated Casslgnole dur Um: ths touxnjumanl.

But reports from San Francisco indicate that the title will be fought foe on the afternoon of July 4 within a stone's throw of the Golden Gate. FIGHT NOT "FIXED," BAYS JEFF Story Branded as "Mailcionsly False" by Big Fighter. PITTSBURG, Pa., Dec. 5. (Special.; "Thetory that the coming fight with Johnson being fixed in advance is not only false, but maliciously so, and I intend to hunt the fellow who started It down and give him a thumping," said Jim Jeffries at the Fort Pitt Hotel this morning, after reading the Sunday papers, that there was suspicion that the big fellows had agreed to split up the purse, etc. - "That is not right," continued the big fellow. "I have -never faked the public, nor am I starting now. I am sincere when I say that I will knoelc Johnson's head off when we get in the rir s,( and am going about to do that, too. In so doing I expect to pull down the big end of the purse. If he is the .better man, the big end goes to him, ut I do not like stories started about us fa-king It." Referring to Tex Rickard's state ments, that if the fight was pulled off In Nevada he would likely .have accom modations for 6000 women, Jeffries said: "I don't think It a good place for women. Of course, it will make no difference to. me, but I don't believe they mean this. I hope not, anyway." PLAN FAST MOTORDROME Los Angeles to Bnild Saucer Auto Course to Clip Records. LOS ANGELES. Dec. 6. Plans for a "motordrome" which, it is asserted will eclipse the speed possibilities of any other automobile race course In the world, have been 'approved and work will start within two weeks. It will be a "saucer" track one mile In circumference, and will be built cf heavy timbers planked with finished lumber, and pitched at an angle that will permit a speed of two miles a minute. It Is expected that the track will be completed and ready for racing within three months. Drivers DePaima, Rob ertson, Oldfield, Heme, Strang, Bur man, Chevrolet, "Dingley and .Soules are said to have signed contracts with the promoters to come to Los Angeles for a race meeting In April.

CONTESTANTS CHEERED Track Is More Steeply Banked at Turns Than in Former Years, and' It Is Expected This Will Aid In Setting New Record. NEW TORK, Dec. 6. At 12:05 o'clock this morning, 17 riders,' representing as many two-man teams, were cent away in Madison Square Garden In, the annual six-days' bicycle race. Spec tators filled the big auditorium from pit to ceiling and cheered the contest ants. , The track, a big, wooden, saucer shaped oval of 10 laps to the mile, is more steeply banked at the turns than in former years, and it is expected that this will aid the winner of the event to 'beat the old record of 2737 miles and 1 lap, made by McFarland and Moran last December. 1 The riders cut out a fast pace at the start with the result that before a mile had been traversed Rutl fell but was up almost Instantly uninjured. In the eighth mile Leon Georget, of the French team, came up -with Cropper. In the 20th, both Wiley and Germain sustained falls that required their temporary retirement.

'THIS -tooul Kiss," one of the most a snowy series of stage pictures ever presented on local boards, swung" itself loose last night at the Bungalow in a Vcapital performance. This much-cussed and discussed play is neither salacious nor overwhelmingly bad. It is only near-risque. But it booms and bewilders with the wonder ful color. It Is at once cosmonolitan metropolitan In action, with an almost Neapolitan riot of harmony in colors ana meioay. Maurice, a sculoturer. loves Siitt. his model, who incidentally is a model moaei ana insists on a wedding ring. Maurice, however, does not view mut ters in this light, although he says he luves only suzette. ' Conveniently the devil takes cogni zance of matters. n.nri o r,no- -a n c. zette, making a bargain with her, that' snouia Maurice prove false in one year, he Satan Is to have both of them. If on, the other hand Maurice remains true to Suzette, she is to receive one million francs. (Of course this is given birth in France they do these things better over there.) Suzette Joyfully accepts me terms,, and Mephlsto im mediately sets to work to wean Mau rice's affections away from his .pretty model. The devil's six daughters are prime consplrators, and in many dif ferent characters come to tempt the temptabie and none too strong Mau rice. The soul kiss, by the way, is what this weak young ohap Is pining for a kiss from the heart through the lips. - - The 'scene from which the olav takes its name, or vice versa no one cares-- is most unusual, to put it very mild. The devil's daughters enter one at a tinfe. The first comes as a Spanish dancer, who dances with wild abandon, ending suddenly by throwing- her an atomy backward against a pillar, in a tone-breaklng attitude. Then Maurice does the soul-kiss stunt. But ft Isn't the brand he wants. Presto, the oblig ing devil brings in Cleopatra a really beautiful creature dressed in ropes of pearls and sandals, who reclines, a la Sarah Bernhardt, on a divan with a tiger skin, also similar to "Three Weeks," and kisses the soul-kiss hunt er. By actual count these osculations last so long one grows fidgety. But even Mark Antony's favorite fails to please, and the devil summons a ballet maiden. She ballets about and finally kisses the chap another five minutes and she too is sent away. Enters then an American girl or so His Satanic Majesty terms the coldly calm and superior girl with Gibson face, who enters in a bathing suit. The young man makes all the advances, and finally samples the sluSh. Failure again, no soul kiss. Enter now a dancer, nay "the" dancer. Nuff sed. He watches her beautiful dance, and im mediately renounces Suzette, and fol lows where the dancer leads. That's about all of the story, at least that's the plot. Circulating freely through it are several unique charac ters, who give capital performances. ' ' For instance George B. Fox as Solo mon Skevensky, travelling for pleas ure, is a continual howl. He is actually refreshing, and his lines are veritable bombs of joy. Robert Adams makes an acceptable Maurice, and Marie Annls in the role of Suzette, Is a positive delight. Her singing voice is especially sweet and clear. Perhaps the best sustained character is that of J. Lucifer Mephlsto. said devil, which is excellently portrayed by Ben Grinnell. His lines are sparkling bits of enlgrams, puns and wit. Par ticularly good is a speech "I Wonder Where They'll Go." delivered from the top of the Singer building In New York, to which the action, shifts in the last act. Here the gent is shown, . a red silhouette against the Splendid per spective of the city after night, the illuminated streets stretching miles away into a haze. Of the dancer. Mile. Fertina, full Jus tice can not be told in a few words. She Is graceful, and daintily formed, and is the exponent of a beautiful art. Her dances are of the toe variety, and while her costumes at times are: not much to speak of. still on the whole she is most pleasing, and at no time is vulerar or ordinary. Mile. Pertlno's beauty is, apparently not her stock in trade, . so let us be thankful for her nimble toes, for she certainly can step. The musical numbers show genuine worth. Three in particular were well received: "Let's Pretend." "They Were Actors Then," and "Those College Tells." There is continuous gaiety, much merriment, and vivacity which is gatllng-gun like In its rapidity and like bubble-water in its sparkle. , It's really worth while. Cohan Comedy Opens at Baker CAST.

Considering the fact that George M. .Cohan's "Forty Five Minutes from Broadway" is now 'five years old goin" on five, one must perforce Judge that, like wine, it has Improved with age. Be that as it may, the "Cohanimated" musical 'play as It is seen at the Baker this week is en tertaining to anyone who has not seen it before. Evidently a goodly lot of theater goers haven't, for the theater was packed to the doors at both per formances yesterday. . The story tells of one Plain Mary who has been the housmaid to an er ratic old millionaire for 15 long, weary years. Said old gent turns his toes up to the daisies, leaves no will, ap, parently, and the next of kin comes, in to occupy the castle. A nice young man is this next of kin, and his valet is one Kid Burns, an ex-prizef Ighter, who" breaks every known rule of Eng lish as she is ppoke, every time he opens his mouth. But he is a fearless1, clean lovable chap and he is white clear through. -Incidentally -Is finds The Reason ' Why we have made the best reputation in heating on the Pacific Coast Because First, we know onr business.

Besides fitting into the Cohan bing-bingbang rapid-fire scheme of things. Charley Brown, an inimitable come dian, returns in his excellent character ization of Kid Burns. His laugh is in fectious more than catcIMng, and he kept his audience in extreme good na ture. His facial contortions are mirth provoking in themselves and his mere presenoe on the stage is the signal for smiles. Elizabeth Drew is decidedly pretty to look upon, and gives a delightful Interpretation of Plain Mary. Because Elizabeth has fine eyes, and a delicious smile, because her nalvette is charming and because the audience appreciates her fascinating manner, it forgives her attempts at vocalization. At times Miss Drew shows positive dramatic ability, especially In her lines with Cronan, blackleg and general" -villain, who once threw her over in a love af fair, and is trying to make trouble in the present story. Louise Gardner as Flora Dora Dean is dainty and talks Just little enough to maintain an interesting character. Ninon Rlstorl is splendid as the rant ing self-willed prospective mother-in-law of the erstwhile heir, and is a really capable actress. As the heir-at-law, Eugene MacGregor is interesting, and James Manning as -Cronan received a large slice of hisses, which stamp his work as a villain as sterling. The beauty chorus lacks considerable of being beautiful. Shy on looks, and voice and figure they are a sorry six. Among the songs are three, which in the last five years have run the gam ut from piano to hurdy-gurdy and elec tric pianos. "So Long Mary," "Only 45 minutes from Broadway," and "Mary Is a Grand.
