E AT T TO-NIGHT OREGONTHEATRE Fast i iff iij 1 mm b W ARE THESE SPORTY HANS? y Weston, Ore., Dec. 28. The Weston Leader Bays: "It Is related that over at Athena a fow nights ago a quartet of local porta 'sat Into' a poker game with an affable stranger who wanted amuse ment and looked like a good pros pect. The stranger had no coin to speak of, but presented a check lrawn to his order for several hun dred dollars. Agaln.st this check the quartet had $50 In gold and two of them drew checks for $t0 each. "The session lasted all night, and was so financed that every tlmo the stranger wanted coin he was supplied out of the $50, the several amounts being set down against his check. Very likely the quartet expected to acquire all or th major portion of the check and to pplit the proceeds four ways. If so, their plans proceed ed auspiciously, ns the stranger lost while they won. When the game wound up and the bunch went to breakfast, the stranger had the $50 In coin and the two $10 checks, while the sports had the big check and were satisfied. He cashed in the $10 checks at the restaurant, remarking that he had to go to Pendleton and would return In the evening to get the small balance due him out of the big check held by his opponents. Instead, he went toward Walla Walla. "The local sports roosted on the steps of the Athena bank until It opened, and then found that the stranger had somehow given Instruc tions to stop pnyment. Consequently they are out just $70, but daren't put up a 'holler' because the law Is not very amiably disposed toward the great American game of poker."

The latter agreed to throw Wester gaard twice in an hour, but did not gain a fall. GoU-li Defeat Munroo. Kansas City, Mo., Dec. 28. Frank Gotch, world's wrestling champion, defeated Alec. Munroe, the English champion In straight falls here last night. The first fall came In twelve minutes and the second In eight min utes, five seconds, each with a half Nelson and crotch hold. It was the easiest match Gotch has had for several years. 'The English man displayed scant knowledge of the panic, and Gotch, It seemed to the spectators, merely played with him. Morn ii Iiies Cluilleiim New York, Dec. 2S. Owen Moran, the English fighter, arrived from Englnnd on the Olympla last night, sounding defiance to everybody In the lightweight division of pugilism. ''I hnve come here to make a match with Ad Wolgast," said Moran, "and I hope to defeat him or any other who regard themselves as champions. To prove that I am capable I will take op other men In wolgast s class and deal with them first, giving away weight to some of them and fighting any man at 133 pounds." Flynn Whips Cuponl. Suit Lake City, Utah, Dec. 28. After two and a half rounds of tame and uninteresting milling last night, Jim Flynn of Pueblo whipped across two effective punches and Tony Ca pon! went down for the count of ten. Capon! was outclassed from the moment ho stepped Into the ring and was totally unable to hold Flynn at long range. Neither man showed speed and not an effective blow was struck until near the close of the sec ond round when a left hook to Ca ponl's Jaw staggered the middleweight and sent him to his corner looking worried. Flynn did not exert himself. He was fat and palpably In pool condition but he outweighed Caponl nearly twenty pounds, and the lighter man's blows which had little steam behind them did not serve to check his steady advance. Morris Gets Revision. New York, Dec. 28. Carl Morris, the Oklahoma engineer, outfought Tom Kennedy, the New York heavy weight. In eight rounds of a ten round bout at the Empire Athletic club last night In the general opinion of those at the ringside, neither of the white hopes showed any advancement tow nrd their aspirations of some day wrestling; the world's championship at from Jack Johnson. The heavier Oklahoma man, weighing 223 pounds, as compared with Kennedy's 215, was considered too slow and Kennedy's much praised foot work proved a dis appointment. The New York man showed great gameness In taking pun ishment. He had o much the worst of it in the latter rounds that many of the spectators shouted to Referee Dan Tome to stop the bout, but he declined to do so. USE ALLEN'S FOOT-EASE.

If contemplated advances are made, and the public must pay $4 50 for footwear which cost $1 less In the autumn of 1910.

They are explaining the slt uat'on In catalogues sent out for the autumn and winter of 1912 to distrib uters. Removal of the duty on hides by the Payne-Aldrich tariff law did not cheapen them. It is explained, and prices of leather have advanced stead ily. An opportunity to prevent much If any increase of price In shoes is said to exist in agreements among manufacturers and dealers ns to prices. AUTO TIRES OF CACTUS.

Luther Burbank. addressing the Callforn'a State Frutt Growers' convention here, made the startling announcement of a won derful discovery In the further use of his famous spineless cactus. Ho says It will revolutlnolze the white wash, paint and automobile tire in dustries. Burbank said ho had discovered that the fibre of the .plant was an ex cellent substitute for rubber In the manufacture of automobile tyres. He added that this same fibre would also be an excellent substitute for wood pulp In the manufacture of paper. "The mucilage of the cactus plant," he said, "will not dlso've In water, but It w'll d'ssnlvo in alcohol. , This muc'lnge will readily take oil colors and Is easily handled.

Boone, Jr., a descendant of Daniel Boone, ob tained a divorce at Clayton, a St. Louis suburb, from Ethel Edwards Boone, great-great-grandnlece of Thomas Jefferson.

She considered Thomas Jefferson a more distinguished ancestor than the great Kentucky pioneer and Indian fighter. Boone Is an insurance promoter and the son of Col. John T. Boone, who was for many years western agent for the New York life Insurance com pany. They were married In 1892. Boone testified that his wife so fre quently reminded him of her descent from Thomas Jefferson that he had no peace. She said that the Boones like washerwomen when compared with the Jeffersons.
