12 THE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY. DECEMBER 28, 1909. ABERDEEN ANXIOUS TO BE IN LEAGUE Fair Play Is All That Is De manded of Magnates by Black Cats This Year. AMPLE FUNDS SUBSCRIBED Grays Harbor Fans Promise IjQyal Support, to Team, and Ixok to National Leaders to Settle Ixjcnl Difficulties. ABERDEEN, Wash.. Dec. 27. (Spe cial.) It took representative business men of this city less than an hour to night to show conclusively that Aber-' cleen wants ana will have a team in the Northwestern League next season, providing- any semblance of fairness Is shown by otner clubs at the coming league meeting. In fact the matter of finances proved but a m'.nor detail; the only stumbling block apparently being what future action will be taken by other clubs. President MacFarlane put the matter In concrete form when he stated: Plenty of Money for Team. "Aberdeen has the money and the team. The city will be in the North western League, but it will not be dic tated to by anyone. Rather than that It will withdraw." A soliciting committee of seven, con sisting of Jim and Sam Bowes, Henry Harland, Dick and Oscar Boettiger, A. II. Griffin and A. W. Middleton, was appointed . and promised within the week to have a sufficient amount of the total sum needed to clinch the option on players secured at the Mem phis meeting by Manager Rowland. It is anticipated that practically the com plete lineup of next season's team will have been settled within that time. I'll Are Hopeful. Everything is now up to the league meeting. Aberdeen is ready to meet everyone half way, but further than that it will not so. Much hope is placed locally in the next meeting of the National Commission during the Pall of 1910, when redisricting and reclassification should give Portland to the Northwest, and forever . end all difficulties. In tonight's report the increasing earning capacity of the Aberdeen team was shown as being 28 per cent last year, and it is believed that with next season passed the team would be prac tically on a paying basis. ' GOOD ATHLETIC YEAR AHEAD President Brown Sanguine About Prospects for 1010. NEW YORK. Dec. 27. The year 1909 has been the most successful ever known in the history of outdoor and Indoor sports, according to President Everett C Brown, of the American Athletic Union," whose first annual athletic review has just been made public. "The prospects for 1910," he continues, "are more promising than any year within my recollection, and I look for tha greatest boom ever experienced in ath letics. The first Important National ath letic events will be the wrestling, gym nastic and basketball championships. All of these championships have been allotted to Chicago. The National indoor cham pionships will be divided up amoxg the large swimming clubs in New york, Bos ton, St. Louis and Chicago, as these are the centers of the sport. "One reason why Chicago is so partic ularly favored in the National events is that the National body appreciates that It will be necessary to keep athletics espe cially active in this section, owing to some little antagonism whioh has devel oped and which is localized In Chicago. In fact efforts are. being made to put a rebel organization into power. "The amateur National track and field championships for 1910 probably will be held In New Orleans. The committee thought it wise to stimulate the support In that section of the country."

T"-9 - ATTELL IN TRAINING Little Champion Works Out in Police Gymnasium. GOOD ALSO AT WRESTLING Appears In Fine Form -and Punches) Bag in Way to Make Police Ex perts Stare Preliminary Man Also Hard at Work. BT W. J. PETRAIN. Before an admiring crowd of boxing fans, a large part of which was made up of newsboys, Monte Attell, cham pion bantan-weight pugilist of the world, worked out for the first time in Portland at the gymnasium of the Portland Police Athletic Association In the Union block yesterday. Attell's arrival was looked forward to with a great deal of Interest, for it is expected his exhibition bout with Jimmy Carroll at the. Exposition rink Thursday night will draw a crowd. Those at the police gym yesterday were much pleased with the showing made by the little San Francisco champion, who went through the regular gym nasium stunts so accurately and strongly there was no question raised as to his being fit. He punched the bag in a way that made the -dozen or more policemen off duty who were watching him stare hard. Attell Spars With West. After the regular gym stunts Attell took on Gene West, the gritty boxer of the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club, in a three-round sparring exhibi tion in which both lads were equipped with the "pillows" used as mits by the policemen in the gym. -Both lads showed a willingness that evidences gameness, and Attell's speed was a cause of keen delight. The little champion was chain lightning in -raining blows at the Multnomah lad. Attell Good at Wrestling. After three rounds of boxing West and Attell went on the big wrestling mat for a round of grappling. The Multnomah Club boxer proved a strong mat artist, and Attell was unable to secure any advantage over him in this sport. Both lads displayed some little knowledge of the wrestling art. At Tracey's gym. where Jimmy Car roll and Prankia Edwards held forth, the crowd was not as large as usual because most of them wanted to see the champion work out. Both Carroll and Edwards are in fine condition for Thursday night, and the former is con fident he will hold his own in the ex hibition with Attell. He even hopes to outpoint the clever little champion, and some of his friends who' saw him in action against "Jockey" Bennett before the Oregon Club last week really ex pect him to do so. Preliminaries Train Hard. Frankie Edwards, who works out with Carroll, and who is scheduled to box six rounds with Ned Whitman be fore the Attell-Carroll bout, is showing better form every day. Edwards showed class in his meeting with Bobby Evans, and while he expects to do his best, he looks for a harder man in Whitman than his recent match. Whit man said yesterday he was in fine shape, and expects to make good against Edwards. 'Spike" Hennessy and "Spider" Roach, the other two mit artists matched for an exhibition Thursday night, are likewise working hard to make a showing. The exhibitions will be staged promptly, and 8:S0 o'clock is announced as the time for the open ing bout. .

Last June he met and defeated Frankie Neil, which victory, won decisively by the knockout route, gave him the chance to claim, the championship, which he has suc cessfully defended ever since. Monte and Abe Attell look upon their mother as their banker and whenever either scores a victory or gets a good sized portion of -the gate receipts. . the amount is immediately transferred to the parent's hands for safe keeping, and both lads are amply provided with funds to enter business when the time for retire ment from the arena arrives. Caesar Attell, only a eecond rater, is now en gaged in business at San Francisco. The club eleven has made a good show ing this season, and financially football has been a success. "The Seattle All Stars comprised some of the best foot ball players in the country and Man ager McMillan is sorry to lose the chance of this game. The Multnomah soccer team will probably use the grounds on the holiday date. O. A. C. MAY LOSE DIRECTOR Angell Now. Wanted to Direct Wis consin "TJ" Athletics. MADISON. Wis., rec. 27. Special.) DavB Angell, formerly basketball coach at the University of Wisconsin, now director of athletics at the Oregon Agri cultural College, is the latest suggestion for the vacancy in the directorship of Wisconsin athletics. Director Hutchins resigned a few days ago to go to the Bitter Root irrigation project, but his real reason was faculty opposition to intercollegiate athletics. Angell may be opposed because when he was at Wisconsin, the Badger institution was enthusiastic over athletics and the new regime is not friendly to the men of the old order of athletics.

I have gone too far in theatrical work to step back into active paid work connected with the prize ring. But it l just as true that I am going into train ing myself at once this week so that I can get into proper condition to give Jeffries the boxing that he needs. "These are the facts: I was in Lon don when Jeffries Jumped down from Carlsbad and asked me how much money I would take to train him for the com ing battle. I replied that there was not enough money in circulation for that. But I added that I would gladly drop everything and go with him as a friend, absolutely without consideration, where ever he goes, for the last 40 days before his fight; that I would be in his corner at the battle, and that I would give him all I nave of advantage toward vio tory.
