FIGHTING PROMOTER
AND HIS TROUBLES
Fable of the Man Who Thought
There Was a Fortune
In Pugs.
TOO MANY PASSES
KILLED HIS GAME
Ho Soon Realized That All That
Glistens Isn't
Gold.
One upon Time there was an Asplr
lns Guy who fancied he Would Ilk to be
a Fight Promoter.
lie thought It would be the Beat Kver
to run a Fight Club and to have the
Bartenders whlaper his nana to cus
tomers when ha want Into a Saloon.
Ha figured the whole thing out In
Theory and commenced Planning What
Ii would Do with the Money he made off
Kach Battle.
So hs rented a Dance Hall in a Tough
Neighborhood and put a High-Sounding
Name on the Door.
' Also, he put In Equipment for a Fight
ing Establishment and commenced to
send Circular Letters to Managers of
alleged Boxers and real Boxers through
out the Country.
Hs regretted this Move a Day later,
for He received all Kinds of Letters
where the Postage waa lacking and
had to be Paid by his Club.
- Also, hs Found out that There were
More Champions in the Fighting Cir
cles than Anybody Knew of, and that
Kach person was Ready to Meet Any
One In the World.
But the High-Class Fighters he rec
ognised didn't respond to his lettera
And When he Wired they Suggested
Weights that he Knew were Impossible
For their Varioua opponenta to make.
And as Soon ss he Painted the Name
of his Club on the door he Found thst
There were more Politicians In hia Im
mediate Ward than there Were Seats In
his Club.
For all Wanted Passes. And When
he didn't Respond Promptly Enough
the Politicians threatened to Have the,
Place Pulled. For they Showed Sur
prising Anxiety about Whether Fight
ing Was i,sal when they Couldn't Get
a Couple of Boards for their Friends.
He Managed to Weather the Early
Portion of the Storm, however, though
he felt like the Managers of the Car
negie estate must Have Done when
Mrs. Chadwlck commenced Operatlona
And he Discovered thst For Every
Friend he Made by Issuing s Pass he
Made Two enemlea who were Sore Over
being Turned Down.
Also, he got Slugged In the Face the
night of the Fight; when he Tried to
Stop a Detective From coming In the;
place without a Ducket.
The Fight waa 'extremely Bed. for he
Hsd Figured that Second-RaU Fighters
Would make Just as Good an Attraction
as First-Raters
And when he Counted Up the Oate
Receipts be found that there was 8SC.K0
in Cash in the Box Office, and 84,306 In
Pa as.
And the Fighters Clamored for a split
of the 84,436 house. And the Men who
Put up the Ring wanted $12f.. And the
People who Rented the Hall wanted
81A0
And two or three Politicians nam
around and Suggested that a UWI
Dough out to be coming their Way
- And- He Received So many Threats
of Having his Jaw Smashed that he
didn't Know what to do.
And enough Peraona Wanted in Bor
row Money to make Him Feel like Eddie
Hrlght After he had made a Killing on
Flying Torpedo.
And when he Shied Up his Finances
he found that he had 828.50 In Cash and
About 08.000 in Debt.
h Lack of Moral : All la not Gold thst
Ollltera; to Witness, the Merchsnt of
Venice. (If this moral don't apply,
write en for yoursetf).
M. A. A. C ELEVEN IS
READY FOR 0. A. C.
Both Elevens Confident of Vic
tory, and a Hard Game Is
Assured.
Everything la in apple pie order for
tomorrow's gams between the strong
and aggressive eleven representing the
Oregon agricultural college and the ex
perienced aggregation of the Multnomah
club. Both teams are in perfect con
dition so far aa coaching and training
is concerned, snd nothing remains but
the willingness of both elevens to exert
themselves sufficiently In order to make
a first-class showing.
Much has been written this year about
the O. A. C. team and from the ahowlng
that the men nave made. It Is fair to
aaaume that all they kind worda were
merited. A great deal haa also been
ssld about the Multnomah club eleven,,
and it has been deserved. In her history,
Multnomah haa scarcely ever presented
a stronger lineup than this year, and:
her friends expect great deeds at the
club's hands.
In tomorrow's game weight Will go
against weight and experience agalnat
training and hard practice. While the
club men have been faithful In their
practices, lack of aocommodatlona a ltd
time have given the Corvallls men the
sdvantage, which consists of outdoor
scrimmage In daylight. Taking both teama
on a fair footing, the Farmer outweigh
tha M. A A. C men about a half a
pound to the man and that means con
siderable. Captain Dowllng says that
Multnomah will win by two touch
downs, but if that comes true, Multno
mah will have to play batter ball than
she hss played In the laat three game.
All of Multnomah's "available material"
wilt be used In the gam and to set at
reat the dope framed up by the thick
legged man. the teams will start out In
the f own wing fashion:

A rite Latham's versatility was Ulus
trataer at " League park. Cleveland, one
aarernoon not many years ago. A few
days before, Latham and McAleer had
been in a rolxup on the Cincinnati dia
mond and Arlle used his flats on the
great outfielder's head.
A chorus of hisses greeted the talk
ative third baseman when he came on
the Cleveland grounda this particular
day. Arlle saw the necessity of getting
back into the crowd's good graces. Hia
opportunity was offered by Young's mas
terful pitching.
Getting over on the coaching line
when the Reda Ware at bat, Arlle lifted
bis voioe.
"Hit at every rone, fellers. They're
all over. Strike? Course it was. Don't
kick Umpire waa right. That's the
beat plteher in the business, right there,
that sum Cy Young. Jf we had him
we'd be in first place. Three strikes?
That's right. Biddy (McPhee). Go to
the bench. Speed? I can't see the ball
at all. How do you hold htm. Chief?"
.And so on until the same crowd that
had hissed him an hour before waiT'on
Its feet cheering Mm.wltn KIT Tt might.
Aa a climax, Arlle turned a couple of
handsprings and raw for the Reds' bus.
"Molasses. Biddy, molasses." he cried.
"That's the way to land 'em."
"Cincinnati was playing us a nip and
tuck game one day when 1 1 waa with
the Chicago Nationals," says Billy Brad
ley. "In the ninth inning, with the
score 3 to 2 in our favor, the Reds with
two out, got a man around to trflrd.
The Cincinnati captain then sent in
Helny Pelts to hit In place of the regu
lar batter.
"Tom Loftus, who waa then Chicago's
manager, began to laugh with all his
might. He roared and abrleked untTl
he attracted the attention of everybody
players, spectators and umpire.
'"What Is it, Tom?' someone saked.
" 'h. that is too funny,' shouted Lof
tus; 'sending up a Dutchman to bat in
an emergency!'
'"Then we all aaw Tom's game. His
remark made Pelts so mad that he
struck out on three pitched bells."
"Spike" Shannon's debut Into profes
sional baseball was In a game between
Indianapolis and Milwaukee. Shannon
was at first only a spectator. In the
second Inning the Hooaler's shortstop
was hurt. Manager Watklna offered 110
to any amateur who would take the dis
abled player's place.
"My pals nudged me snd I decided to
go out and get that X-spot." says Shan
non. "I'd never owned one up to' that
time. When I got nicely located I ac
cidentally glanced up Into the grand
stand and when I aaw that sea. of faces
shining in my direction I wished I waa
home playing with my dog. About thla
hour a ball that looked ilk a pea came
shooting down my way at the rate of
something Ilk 80 miles an hour. I
made a blind lunge in the right direction
and the next I remember of aeelng waa
the runner walking back to his seat.
Say, the grand stand and bleachers,
howled like wolves. During the rest
of the game I made three hits two
with my bat and one with Watklna"

amidst the yella of the delighted root

Milton, the great left guard, sent the
ball into the eager arms of young Jsmes
Fenlmore Cooper, who after a beautiful
run of 20 yards, was tackled by the old
reliable Demosthenes, who waa playing
a atar game at center. The next play
Hameaes broke through the line before
the bail was In motion, snd the referee
called him "off-side," but he told the
referee to go away back to the pyra

the end of tha first half, neither aide

After a breathing spell of IS minutes,
the referee's whistle sounded, and the
gams waa again started. Evansvllle
was to receive the kick-off. Billy
Shakespeare wsa to do the kicking for
Laramie. When all was ready, the ref

he' yelled, "Let her go!" and Billy an

After a' few plays. Evansvllle lost the
ball and Laramie tried a series of line

Napoleon Bonaparte through for good
gains. Then Laramie lost the ball to

PORTLAND PEOPLE
ADMIRE ATHLETICS
Every Branch of Athletic En
deavor Is Appreciated by
Local Friends.
BASEBALL RANKS
HIGH IN ESTEEM
Football, Racing, Track Events
and Golf Attract Spe- 1
' cial Attention.
Few cities in this country can boas
of a better spirit toward sports and ath
letics than Portland and the faaae of
her athletes Is great. In almost every
branch of sports, be It a football scrim
mage or a foot race, the people of thla
city take a deep Interest and are al
ways ready to patronise any games that
bear the stamp of fairness.
Away from home Portland I famed
for the manner, in which the fans turn
out tO'' witness the baseball games. Even
with losing teama during the past two
seasons, holidays and Sundays were the
occasions for large crowds wending their
way to the- ball park to shoot for the
home club. Loyalty to the home play
era waa always a characteristic of the
local fans, and were a winning team to
represent this city there would be no
end to the enthusiasm that would be
displayed.
Golf has taken a firm held upon Port
land and Its sponsor, the Waverly Golf
club, is now in a flourishing condition.
Every year the club holds Interesting
tournaments, the fsll handicaps being
still on the program at the links.
During the past month steps have
been taken by the Portland Rowing club
to hire a competent coach from tha
east to train and coach the oarsmen- of
this city. This is a popular move and
one that will redound to the glory of
the club.
No more appropriate place for rowing
could be found than the Willamette river
and now that the rowing club Intend to
turn out crack crews, any crews eomlng
here for competitions during the Lewis
and Clark fair will have trouble holding
their own with the local club. Another
organisation that la in god standing la
the Oregon Tacht club. During the sea
son no club enjoys keener sport than its
members, and Interest In the sport is In
creasing year after year.
With the track men Portland holds
an enviable record. For year tha ath
lete of thla city have ably represented
their town. The sponsor of track and
field sports, in fact all amateur sports.
Including bowling, tennis, baseball and
football. Is the Multnomah- Amateur
Athletic club.' For II years this splen
did institution haa done fadeless work
In the way of athletic endeavor. Her
men have won renown in every branch.
In baseball and football her players have
alwaya taken first rank. The real merit
of the club la the fact that it la run
for amateur athletics only. Many ath
letic clubs throughout the country make
a apeclalty or one branch of sports, and
their member pey much more atten
tion to the cafe than to the gymnasium.
It Is for this purely athletic side that
Multnomah club la. loved by all. Of
course, sll the educational institution.
like Columbia university. Portland
academy, Portlsnd high school and tho
Hill Military academy, endeavor to have
their students trained In track affairs,
which scheme works to greater advan
tage in later years. -
Taking it in every" line of sports, few
cities csn excel Portlsnd. During the
coming yesr. when the Lewis and Clark
fair directors get the athletic feature
under way. the people of thla city will
have a splendid opportunity to Judge
of the athletic prowess of her young
men. It might be mentioned in con
nection with the fair thst there will be
autoboat races s one of the features of
the exposition. The Trescott company
that had the boating privilege at thg
St. Liouls rslr will slso have charge of
the boating here in Portland. Thle will
give the people of the Pacific coast an
opportunity to see sll the autoboat
races.

PLEA FOR PROPER
HARBOR LINES
It Is Said the Willamette River Is
Becoming Narrower Every
Year.
DEBRIS FROM DREDGES
FILLING TOWARD BANKS
If Methods Now Employed Are
Continued There Will Be
Danger From Floods.
River men say th Willamette In th
harbor I becoming narrower every year,
and prophesy that before many decades
the banks will get so clos together
that they will overflow In every freshet.
This Idea has been suggested by the
work which the dredge Portland has
been doing during the pat few day.
She Is clesrina out 4h channel between
the Madison and Morrison street bridges,
and the material ahe Is removing is
being deposited in the river fully SO
vards west of the east slds of ths
stream. By the time he completes tha
work and discharge the sand and gravel
in that locality a new island will be
formed. It will contract the river bed
between the bridge, say those who hav
been watching operations, and the water
will overflow the bank.
Th consensu of opinion I that har
bor lines should be established from
which no deviation could be made. Ac
cording to the present plan, very little
attention Is paid to the lines established
by the government. It is asaened that
some docks are extending considerably
further out into the river then they
shotrld. It le a practice of the owners
to claim just as much of the river aa
they possibly can. Piles are driven and
docks pushed fsr out Into the stresm.
Debris gather around th plies and the
water Is forced into a narrow channel.
The bed not having been deepened to
any great extent the river naturally
rises. In time It will be as high as ua
first floor of the docks. To .statement
Is made that when a particularly havy
flood occurs the banks of the river will
be overflowed end much valuable prop
erty on First and Secnnd treeta will
b badly damaged.
To prevent tht It la pointed out that
the tTnlted States engineer should -tahllsh
harbor lina and not permit any
one to erect piling or deposit material
beyond thoee line).

with a modern refrigerating plant, and
on the return trip will bring a cargo of
Chinook salmon. A teat of the plant
waa made yeaterday.
It Is believed an excellent market for
the fish can be built up in Osrmany.
Arrangements hava been made with sev
eral Hamburg ftrma to handle the prod
uct, and It Is believed they can dispose
of all th fish sent. Germany haa al
ways been a liberal buyer of Pacific
coast- salmon In' fact soma difficulty
haa been experienced In keeping her sup
plied. The Chetco will make a round trip
every two week a, taking general cargo
down and bringing up about 75 tons of
frosen salmon. The flsh will be sent
overland to New Tork and trans-shipped
to Hamburg and other centers In Ger
many. It Is the flrst time that a boat
has ever been operated on the Pacific
coast to handle traffic of this kind.
While it Is in th nature of an experi
ment the promoters say that there 1
a possibility of building up an enormous
trade.
