April 1L The old ciuestlon of whethen hard luck is camping on the trail of James J. Jeffries, deter mined to put the champion out for the count before he gets a chance to show what he can do against Jack Johnson on July 4. came to the front again today at Jeffries' training camp when the big fighter had a close call to death or Injury through a live wire. Jeffries went out to chop down a red wood, accompanied by Farmer Bums and Jack Wooley, an Oakland sportsman. "When the tree fell it crashed through a string of power wires, and two ends of a telephone line dropped close to the Jeff ries party, hitting within a few feet of where the champion stood. All near the champion were frightened thoroughly, but Jeffries did not show any emotion. 1 He went right to work cutting logs and chop ping wood. Rain made outdoor work Impossible in the morning. The sparring sessions were postponed again without any apparent reason other than that Jeffries did not feel In the mood to box. In place of this, Jeffries went through the full list of the gymnasium apparatus, working himself Into a fine glow. The monotony of the camp was broken during the afternoon by a wrestling match between Farmer Burns and Baron Carl Henkel, an officer of the German army, who was a visitor at the camp. The Baron thought he could win from Burns easily, and several wagers were made on the outcome of the match. Burns, however, kept up his reputation by scoring a fall in two minutes and 30 seconds. Sam Berger, Jeffries, manager, arrived In camp today, after having completed arrangements for the outfitting of the gymnasium. Berger would make no an nouncement as to the boxing, a perform ance which is looked forward to anxious ly, as giving the only true light on Jeff ries' condition for a ring battle. Car penters will start work in the morning lifting the roof of the gymnasium to per mit light and good air to nil the place. Mrs. Jeffries was taken slightly 111 to day and will leave for Oakland tomorrow. JOHXSOS COMING APRIL 20 Negro Pugillrit to Begin Training In West May 1. CHICAGO. April 11.

BEVLBACH SEES CRISIS TODAY Famous Chicago Pitcher Can't Don Uniform for Month. 8T. LOUIS. April 11. Following a third entl-toxln treatment this afternoon. E. J. Keulbach, pitcher for the Chicago Na tionals, who is seriously ill with diph theria at his home in this city, was said o be resting more comfortably tonight. The crisis is expected tomorrow. Reul feacli's physician declares It will be at 1A ANAGER M'CRBDIB and his Port 1 1 land hopefuls are on the last lap of the home Journey, for after a six-game series with Sacramento, commencing today, the Beavers come home to open the 1910 season on the Vaughn street lot with the Oakland Club. When the Oaks come to Portland they may be minus the services of Harry Wolverton, the newly imported manager, for Umpire van naureu uaa filed charges with Judge Graham al leging that Wolverton used vile and Indecent language to him in protesting a decision. Some of Van's decisions deserve worse than language. Walt McCredie may open up against Sacramento today with his star twlrler, Eugene Krapp, though It is more than likely that Jesse Garrett will give bat tle to the Senators, unless Jesse has a sore arm or Is not In shape. Gar rett was quite successful against the Graham tribe last season, and ought to repeat. Some wiseacre writes The Oregonian to the effect that the standing of the clubs as published In The Oregonian yesterday is wrong. If the alleged au thority will kindly show where the standing as printed is in error we will accept his superior knowledge of the present race in this league. The injury to . Perle Casey In the Sunday afternoon game at Los Ange les is not serious enough to prevent his playing in the coming series at Sacramento. Perle is playing a great game these days, and his loss would be felt by the team. On Thursday the annual pennant struggles of the major leagues will commence, and indications point to close and exciting contests In both or ganizations. Chicago, Pittsburg and , vnrk. with a possibility of Cin cinnati showing strong, looks like the dope In the National. In the American. rwT-r.it PhiladelDhla and Boston look to be best bets. One week from today and the ball tossers of the Pacinc will open the season of 1910 in Port land, with the oakiana iuu opponent of the home team. All of the fans are on edge for the opening. t J im nvrAftnrl tn and a tremenaous cruwu. - flock to the park on Apru x, v e" fan day. "While the owners of the. Portland franchise have not been granted" long enough lease on the present ball park to warrant the erection of a first class grandstand and bleachers, the Mc Credies have made enough new im provements this year to cause the Vaughn-street grounds to resemble a new park. San Francisco and Vernon hook up In a seven-game series commencing this afternoon and the battle between the leaders ought to furnish some in teresting baseball this week. The Happy Hogans team looms up as a pennant possibility. Flushed with the success of five vic tories out of six games played with Sacramento last week, the Los Angeles club goes to San Francisco today to meet Harry Wrolverton's new Oakland bunch. The Angels got off to a bad start against the Hooligans, but seem to have recovered from their losing streak. Jack Gleason is reported as having been In the East trying to get Jack Johnson to come to the Coast and commence active training. The big smoke claims he does not need but six wv?eks of preparatory work and re fuses to go to California until his 'easy money" vaudeville contracts ex pire. Johnson had better get all the money he can. for If Jeff licks him he won't be much of a card any more. nlngs the big Oregon southpaw has twirled without allowing a run and 27 innings In which only a single score has been made off his delivery. Four Chances Taken. Besides accepting four hard chances without a break, Henkle fanned nine and allowed but one hit. This was a safe drive to center by Williams, ticketed for three sacks, which Clarke held to a single by a pretty bare-handed stab. Hayden, for Idaho, also pitched well. Oregon scored In the first when Chandler went around on Hayden's error and Lund strom's wild heave of Clarke's grounder over Curtis', head. In the fourth, Clarke hit' safe and scored on a passed ball and two Infield outs. . . Features of Game Many. Features were the catch of Walker of Idaho, of a line-drive from Barber's bat, Crom's playing in left for Idaho, and the fielding of Chandler and Jamison for Oregon. Oregon now leads the Northwest Conference League. Catcher Chagnon, of Idaho, had his thumb broken by a foul. Score: R. H. E- R. H. E.

They confidently expect to make good and to hold other events in the future. The meeting between Larry Madden, the city champion heavyweight ama teur, who is to represent the Police De partment Athletic Association against Buell, of the Multnomah Club, is at tracting a great deal of attention, for Madden has demonstrated his ability in several of the city tournaments. Buell is rated as a hlgh-clasa man by the winged "M" admirers, who expect him to bring the honors back to the Multnomah Club. Another match of equal importance ! will be the meeting between L. K. Evans, of the police department, and Sears, of the Multnomah Club, both of whom are said to be clever and active light heavyweights. Evans gained con siderable prominence last Winter by giving Madden a tough go before one of the policemen's smokers, and his appearance against Sears will be his first real contest in public. Other matches between lighter boxers have been arranged, and some interest ing goes should materialize. Frankie O'Brien, of the catholic Young Men's Club, is scheduled to meet another 115 pound lad, who is expected to give him a rattling good bout. KLING IS AFTER MONEY REINSTATED l'l.AVKl!

A bunch of money which in cludes that $700 assessment by the National Commission, $600 said to be due as his share for being a member of the 1908 world's champions, and an amount which a fair-minded person would consider a "reasonable" Increase over the amount named In his contract.

"Jawn" as much as admitted this today. - After Kling applied for reinstatement and especially after he wrote his check for $70-0 in favor of the National Com mission and had It duly photographed and published, he expected to hear something from President Murphy. He did receive a postal card from Chicago, but all It said was, "Oh, you Kid'" "Why," said Kling today, "Murphy didn't even send me a railroad ticket so I could report to the team.- He must have known I was hard up." ine amount, ijing wants is said to be $3800. He thinks he should have the fine and his share of the world's championship series. Falling to get this, it is practically a certainty that Kling will play no professional ball this Summer.
