" The. letter or Mr. Kerrigan. , who 1 a member of the American, Olympic team. tvas mailed to The Oregonfan after the etearn ehip Barbarocfla. hud bailed, being- brought ashore by the pilot ON BOARD STEAMSHIP BARBAROS SA, OFF SANDY HOOK. April 3.-Ship-board life In all right If a person Is- not going to enter athlotlc contests. But In nine cases out of ton thoro is Imrdly a person who really knows how to take caro of himself. Tho first thing j follow doi is to stalk around tho dvk hi tho tooth of a brisk wind niul hecMiwso ho koops moving imagine that ho is inking tho proper- precautions iKRint stiffening up. Ho doesn't reaiizv it, but ovory niuselo in his body Is trying to kHp notion golnc but is more or los .siwceptlMo. to tho cold, and ho filially limit; himself won dering what uiukcK him foel so heavy and logy And that k just tho rtion K docs not dress warmly enough. So It wan proved last year when the Yale boys went across the pond preparing themselves for the athletic contests. Every one of thorn was more or loss Btlff and did not realize It until afterwards. After arriving in New York on Satur day, March 23. we, the member of the Olympic team, were tendered the hospi tality of the New York Athletic Hub. Still at that time there were but two members of tho team in New York from outside the city, the writer and one oth er. During the week following the vari ous members gradually dropped in except h few whom the manager did not feel sure of himself Schick of Harvard and Dick Sheldon, formerly of Yale. Of tho former, we know that he 1ms been an athlete that can bo depended upon in all oases, but up to the IhbI minute he kept hesitating about getting ready for the trip, The whole trouble was that he knew Hahn was in shape and felt that he could hardly doJustlce to tho two evonls. the 100 and 220. Of Sheldon, who backed out at the last minute, one could readily see by his performance at the indoor games at the Seventh Regiment Armory March 24 that he was not in the desirable shape necessary to win a world's championship. In fact, he was no lit man In tho first place to be placed on the team, lie Ls a fellow that never did train and never would, so It Is better that he did not come along. Still, a man in his condition Ls better than a man trained up to tho minute who gets .sick during the voyage and ean't get over ft. as is the case with quite a few of the inumbers of tho team who are at present suffering the tortures of the seasick. It is surely a terrible handicap, but can't be avoided, although the managers could have sent tho team around by Southampton, instead of mak ing the trip straight aeross to Naples, and then down the coast to Athens. The last trip from Naples to Alliens promises to be the worst of all. Let us hope not. It will be about four days' trip from there. Swimmers Show Up Well. But. spooking of the various mem bers who looked as if they would be point winners before wo loft New York and trained to the minute, those in the swimming class showod up well. Daniels, of the N. Y. A. Club; Margins Sell warts, of St. Louis, and Barnamann. the dlvor of the Chicago Athletic Club, and Spencer, another "winner of the N. Y. A. Club, were also practicing and In good shape. But the hitter's event, tho mile, will take a stronger swimmer than he ls to win It. Why they are sending him Is hurd to say. He has never done very well in lils event except in the last Indoor tournament, when he won the mile race from a very poor representative field of swimmers. But in Dnnlels we Jiaye a man who will surely win from the wholo field. He has broken more world's records or late than any other swlnimer, and ho is still capable of breaking more. His closest advorsary will be Bolton de Holoway. from Buda !est. Hungary, who defeated him at St. lyouls in 1904. Though at this meet it looks as if Daniels will win from him very handily, with Schwartz a close second. There is no doubt but that Daniels Is In a class by himself. He ls a marvel In the ..water. Both of these boys left on the Saturday be fore the rest " pf the erowd. and will be in Athens in a day or two. Barna mann, the dlvor. who is the best of hlF kind in the country, is on board with the rest of the team. He Is sure of winning his event. He Is just like 4 an e-el in the water never a ep?ash In all .his diving. His event Is diving for form and grace. In the long-distance events Forsbam. who is a tall, slim-built fellow, looked in the pink of condition, but hardly strong enough built, apparently, to win a 25-mile race. Still his perform ance of 23 miles a week before we started in Missouri entitles him to a place In the event. Fowler, of Cam bridge Post Gymnasium, is another man entered in this event- We looks as if he will prove a capable fellow and be better for a first place than Forshaw. but that remains to be set tled. Frank, another of the entries In the long-distance .run. Is a very strong runner, although, to look at his ugly, lumbering gait while In a race you would Imagine that he was going to drop out any minute; but he is de ceiving, and will, no doubt, prove a surprise to the other entrias. He ran a very clever race in the mile Just be fore we left with Sheppard, the great mile -runner of the East, and defeated' him about 24 yards in a 00-yard handi cap race. It -was-the tnost surprising feat for one who Is a longer distance runner, and put him .in a good place for the one, two and five-mile events, as well an the -'5-mile event. Bonhair and Sullivan, ehtcred for the one and flve-mlle run, are and have been training faithfully. It is doubtful. though, whether they will, win a place or not. They have -perhaps the strong est -competition of any. Parsons, who will also enter the same events with them, is in good shape as wclL That Js. he looked like It before we started; but It Is hard to say what the end of j the voyage will bring about. It de pends upon who can recuperate the fastest. Some of us are In poor shupe; In fact,. very poor. Valentine Is an other man who Is In the races, but. he was not in very good shape when we started, so I do not know what to ?x poct from him. although he has proved a very consistent performer. i'jtsi Men In the Sprints. In the 100. 220 and 440 we look like winners. All of these men are Jn pretty good shape, Moulton of Kansas and Hahn especially. Hlllman. who will run the 440 and the hurdles. In unotner consistent performer. He seems to be always. In good nhape. not a very tout follow, either. His work is very peculiar in practice. In fact, ho never practices. He seems to think that ho doesn't noed It, Perhaps lie doesn't. Before we loft New York he had Just been in three different meets in line week, and connidorod them enough. . Friend of Chicago and Lea vitt of Williams College, entered in the hurdles, are similarly built follow, and look like winners sure, particu larly Leavitt In the hurdles. He Is tall and wiry, but rather peeked from the trip tut far. Friend Is also en tered In the broad Jump along with Myer Prinsteln. The lutter ls built very slim for a broad Jumper, weighs just 145 pounds stripped, and la not very tall. He is all muscle, however. It is difficult to say Just what condi tion he Is hu He looks down pretty flncbut may pull up. Glover, who Is entered in the vnult. is in no condition at all. In fact, he looks as if he never trained a lick, but may do better In apltc of that. Wo haven't enough vaulters. W should have another, at least. In the high Jump, too, thore Is only one entry. This shows bad Judg ment in selecting a team. Wc should have two at least lu every event. Yot In the case of the standing high and broad jump we do not need any more. Enry, the champion. Is surely a won der. He stands about six feet three inches, and has jio trouble at all in clearing his jumps. He ls In a class by himself. In the weight events, we are not as strong as wo might be Mitchell may prove good, and so may Edgren. but the best-looking man to my notion is Sheridan. He is a towor of strength, ami looks as If he will make good. The trip 1h bothering him some, though, but he looks as If he Is getting over It. Llghtbody is another man aboard. He looks In fine Trim, and will prove one Of the standbya of the team. Bni-cball Game Today. The ocond of a serios of games for the lpcal championship .will take place today at the Twenty-fourth and Vaughn-street groundr. the contesting teams being the strong Brainard Ma roons and Northwest Gun Company clubs. These teams nre composed of some 7ast young talent, such players as Charlie Moore, of the Portland, and Druhotj of Cincinnati, having gradu ated from their ranks.

Los An geles Broke" Story Is Told JThaf 'Jlrh Jcffries-ls a Henpecked Husband. SAN FRANCISCO, April 11. Special Correspondence.) It "will be-many a long day before another band-of amateur box ers will journey westward to the Golden Gate .seeking championship honors. Young amateurs who fought In the Olym .plc Club's tournament last week have had a taste of what- may be expected j when they show before that great or- ganlzatlon. Wearers of the "Winged O" MEMBERS OF THE took everything In slghU They bad the Judges ana the referee selected from their own membership roll before the tourna ment wtartHl. But in passing It In only fair to say that Eddie Grauey. the little horso-shoor w referred the content, did well. He waa the third man hi the ring whll )me 0 contests were fought, and his work was better than could have bon expected from any one else with as much work as ho had to do. It was the judges who banded In the decisions, and all, that the referee had to do wa to Me that th; men fought fair and according to the amateur rales, as Interpreted to them by him. Silting in a box at the ringside daring the contests was James W. Coffroth. who Is acknowledged to b the "real tiling" when it comes to pulling off big events. One single remark that the auburn- j made in the hearing of the writer ls j very potent to the situation, j "Why. 1 paid that man fl&O to take part In a preliminary bout at one of my I shows." remarked Coffroth. and aftr that Ihe spotted still other wearer of the wonderful "Winged O" that had taken . money for their part In arious boxing exhibitions. As a matter of fact, there was positively and absolutely not one of the men who took championship honors that was not really a professional pug by all the rules of the amateur association. It may be mentioned that the Olympic Club is one of the biggest and the richest athletic clubs In the world. It numbers among the member on lte roll the names of some of the most representative men on the Pacific Coast the more reason why . Its prestige should preclude partial itybut If partisanship and partiality were ever hown anywhere, these points were certainly pre-eminent at the tourna ment. Fighters Who Won Medals. The following fighters found champion ship medal, and it is more than likely, some substantial cash remuneration, at the- end of the tournament: James Carroll, bantam. 105 pounds. Harry Baker, feather. US pounds. William Leonard, special. J25 pounds. William McDonald, welter. 143 pounds. 1-ew Powell, light. 133 pounds. Henry Flncke, middle, 1SS pounds. "Cad Rlodan. light-heavy. l&S pounds. Walter Schulken. heavyweight, over ICS pounds. It Is more than a ?fe prediction to say that every one of the boys, with the possible exception of Henry Flncke. who has announced his positive and perma nent' retirement, will be fighting as pro fessionals during the present year. And that will be about all for the great Olym pic Club tournament except to say that as a money-making proposition It was not the wonderful success that they had uirr itau planned and counted on having, and what 1 they apparently considered was their Just due. No Bit: FlRhl In April. And now to go from the parlor fight ers to the professionals. There will be no big fight In San Francisco during - thlc month of moods. The April date ls a blank o far as fighters are con cerned. A little tipple disturbed the otherwise- placid jsurface of pugdom In tiiee parts a few days ago, when a dispatch came out from Boston that Morris Levy had matched Joe Gans to. fight Joe Wolcott this month. It was nothing more than ripple, however, and no one expects to see the dusky duo of Joes hitch up together in the same ring In this state, and they will certainly not fight in this city. Down at Los Angclea the main topic of talk Is the Nelson-Hcrrera battle, which Is now but some four weeks away. Nelson, in tow of Manager No lan, arrived in the City of Angels last week, clean, or at least as good as clean, for they had but half of 30 cents between them. The tale they told was that they had left San Antonio so hurriedly that they had left the purse on the pis no. That "sounds good enough to anyone who does not know Nolan. Oat m theso parts he Is-known AMATEUR as a man who like to give the peel rooaa a aserry run when the ponies are galloping. It has occurred to those who know Jils leaalags In this line that, the pool roo his which play In the Lone Star state stay have separated Mr. Nolan from the Nelson money. No Hot Air From Catallna. At any rate, they have arrived oa the ground where it was easy enough to make a draft oa the Nelion and No lan bank account. They are at pres ent anchored off over at Catallna Isl nd, where the only means of commu nication aside from a boat that piles once a day between there and the mainland is the wireless telegraph. The fight promoters and fight public of -Los .Angeles don't know how lucky they are to eicape the hot air that Invariably' oozes from Mr. Nolan. They "Will have but a abort respite, however, as the hut two weeks of training will be done nearer the eat of war, where the fight faaa and newspaper corre spondent may make daily, visits to the training camp. Then, and when Mr. Nolan- begins to 'demand every thing in sight that can be toted away, the promoters of the contest and the poor newspaper persons will have to listen to an awful line of talki As to the Brltt-Herman battle, that is no sure thing. ,JuC now WJUuslBritt. the. brother-manager of the Pride of Cali fornia, is at Los Angeles. It Is more than an even-money bet that Britt and -Herman will not fight In the Southland of California, during- Fiesta week. Eight Tnit Is Broken. Thc Fight Trust is still as a broken piece of poiiery and hard to get together. There was no meeting on Monday night, which was the regular time of meeting, on account of tho absence of WUlus Britt, It Is now more than' likely that during the merry month of May big Sam PORTLAND BASEBALL TEAM PHOTOGRAPHED AT FRESNO Berger will lock horns with Philadelphia Jack O'Brien. Philadelphia John Is a little more than willing, and Sam has about loen talked over. Just at present . h s en cared In mnrhlnr- ft at watering rort along with J a rues Edward J Britt. If Sam finds that he can gt Into ) what he considers good condition, he will be ready to ylgn articles within a couple of weeks. These two are solnr to set together soon, and it may as well be In May. as Sam sees money in the game and he doesn't want It to pass out of hi vision without grabbing his part. Of course, no one has ever accused Phila delphia Jack of throwing a purse over his shoulder when there was a chance to make a grab for It. And all this la rure to lead up to the resurrection of one Jamex J. Jeffries, who has been rustical- lug for most two years. Jim Jeffries Is Henpecked. And speaking of Jeffries, can the read er, by even the widest stretch of Imag ination. se in his mjnd's eye. the picture of a big 249-pound pug cowering under the withering and watchful eye of a little 140-pound woman? That's the true situ ation, anyway, jind James J. is certainly the henpecked person. Ife a simple sit uation to those who are familiar with the circumstances, and it's also a" story worth telling. To put the whole thing In a nutshell. Mr. Jeffries would rather have the big ex-champion broke -and at home than for him to get hold of another big chunk of easy money and wander out Into the limelight of the world once more. Since the big fellow retired he has become as Tlodle as a donkey. He will come at the call and Is tame enough to eat out of the band when the better half of the family chooses to call him In. That's the way It should be. according to the wav of think ing of Mrs. Jeffries. Her own private fortune runs well Into the six-figure mark, and she thinks that she has all cither or both will ever want or need. J. Jeffries has been doing a little think ing on his own hook of late, however, and those close to the home neat predict that he will toon jake tfce bit In his teeth and run out. He begins to tingle at the talk of fight, and has his ear to the ground for the battle calL One of the most strenuous points that the wife of the retired champion make?, or rather seeks to Impress upon him. Is that should he fight again certain persons will at tach the'purse. and thereby hangs a tale. Whcrr the big fellow refereed the Hart Root contest at Carson City. Nev.. last Summer he left the town with markers amounting to something like S-50CO In the liands of certain gambler. He had lost neavny at play and has never made good. Ti , ,. . . . . . " L lT t , . 113X8 l:l3I3lra- af.iuL uiice Kiunc ana got roDhed. Mrs. Jeff says that the gamblers shall never get a cent, and at present she holds the purse strings; so there wilt be nothing doing so long as she can help It. The argument of Mrs. Jeffries might have some weight If any one had ever been able to recover in a suit for a gambling debt In this country, but as things stand there 1 no chance for the holders of the L O. U.'s of Jeffries to get a cent by attachment, so that can be no excuse for his staying out of the ring should he decide to have another try with the padded mlt. Along about the Fourth of July the eye of the pugilistic world will be turned to ward California, and the object of inter est at that time ls alsaost sure to be Jeffries. Tha winner of the O'Brien-Bcr-ger battle will be a fitting fighter to meet Jeffries, and prophecy now points to the consummation of such a match. -As Billy Jordan says, "Jt er go!" JOHN DAY.
