AMONG THE BOXERS SAM LANG FORD continues to camp on the trail of Stanley Ketrliel, who thus far has drawn the color line. Langford. who met Jim Barry. Al Kaufman's opponent the other night, should confine himself to the heavy weight class, say the fans. ... Jack Johnson, the other colored boxer, who now claims the championship of the world, is loudly yelling; that he can beat Jeffries. However, any one can beat Jeffries (on paper) now that the latter has retired. While he was in the ring Jeff could have trimmed John son and his kind with one hand tied. ... James J. Corbett is the latest of the "graveyard" bunch to come to the front with a challenge to Jack Johnson. The pompadoured one is anxious to secure additional advertising- for his show troupe, but It Is feared he will be re markably silent about the time the big black comes to the V. S. A. again. ... Abe Attell. who seemed to experience considerable difficulty in several recent bouts In California, has of late found some extremely easy marks and some healthy purses In the vicinity of New Orleans, where the fighting game seems to have revived. ... Dr. P. F. Roller, who recently chal lenged the winner of the Kaufman Barry scrap, is now supposed to be for mally matched with Billy DeUney's "coming" champion. The Roller chap always sought the limelight, yet despite his liking for notoriety, it is Just pos sible he has something of a punch and may make a better prizefighter than he Is a wrestler. ... Jack Johnson's victory over Tommy Burns seems to have caused a veritable deluge of rejuvenated colored scrappers. Joe Jeannette. 3eorge Cole, "Vounir Mississippi," Jack Blackburn, and even Joe Gans. all of former prominence, have come to the" front again as pos sible champions. Jeannette will short ly sail for Paris, where he wants to get a match with Sam McVey. ... John L. Sullivan gives a sniff of disgust whenever Tommy Burns is re ferred to as the champion or the ex champlon. John seems to be hard shelled in the bellof that Burns never waa a legitimate champion, and this opinion Is shared by all of the old time admirers of the roped-arena sport. live Jurors From Washington.

The linal score was 22 to 6. which would Indicate an over whelming superiority were the score to be taken as a sole criterion. However, the Association players really displayed splendid form in passing the ball, but when it came to tossing baskets, they were woefully off their usual form, and Multnomah's stars being at their best In the tossing department, the Y. M. C. A. boys were doomed to defeat. The first half of the game ended with the score A to 2, In favor of Multnomah, the -Association's only points being two foul tosses recorded out of over ten trials. The players uaed at this branch of the game for the visiting team seemed to be up against the hardest kind of luck, for nearly all the free throws bounded off or rolled around the rim of the basket, only to fall outside and be put in play again. As a matter of fact out of 17 trials from foul during both halve, the Association players missed all but four, and their other two points re sumed from a field goal tossed by Good at the opening of the second half. On the other hand. Vivian Dent for Multnomah succeeded In negotiating the majority of the foul trys allowed him, a well as tossing three field goals. The speedy forward of the club team scored 13 points for his team, and missed sev eral other throws by the narrowest of margins.

Captain Barton, while not tossing any baskets himself, was always in the game, and his passing t the ball was one of the features. Dent and Allen shared honors with Barton in this de partment, and the work of the winded "M" five in general was highly satis factory to the many admirers of the game present. Frequently during the game. Barton. Fisher and Allen, with Dent and Morris figuring occasionally, would hustle the ball across the gym with a neatness and dispatch that elicited enthusiastic applause w-hether the basket was ne gotiated or 'not. In fact, their work was high-class throughout, and it was due to the accuracy In tossing baskets following these advances that Multno mah owes such a decided victory. The Y. M. C A. boys seemed to have an off night and, while they displayed plenty of gameness and ginger, they failed to exhibit the famous team play so frequently seen in the association gym. The second half hardly started when Good tossed a basket from a dif ficult angle, and one which was made possible by lightning-like rlay by the Association men and all present be lieved that they had found themselves and were about to run up the score.

TESTS HAVE PROVED IT Only One of Many Experimental Lots Planted Has Failed C'ous and Poultry in Deserts Will Kat Cat! us. LOS ANGELES. Jan. 2. The offlcl.il reports on the first Summer's field cul tivation of the Burbank thornless cac tus were issued today by the Western Empire, an agricultural journal which has had charge of extensive experi ments on the new forage plant. With the exception that one lot planted on the Indlo desert nearly per ished from (he effects of excessive alkali in the soil, the average results are pronounced successful. The largest tests were made upon the hardy thorn less varieties, which Luther Burbank collected from all parts of the world, and of these varieties large quantities will be distributed this year to those who will make experimental tests with them. The 'report concludes that thornless varieties have to be fenced to protect them from rabbits, but that the early fears expressed that they would revert to the old habits of growing thorns have been dispelled by this years re sults, as the. propagation is not from seed, but from cuttings, which, accord ing to all bolanlcul law and history, rigidly conform to the features of the parent plant. The uses as a fodder for the family cow and for poultry upon the small tracts where personal attention is given seem to have been fully established. , WIMNERWRECKS BARRIER Kmerjvillc lV-ature Kace Is Marred by Faulty Start.
