Baldwia and Thompson would be a craekerjaet of a card, in view of we former's rapid rise to fame, and the litter's well-established reputa tion fee toughness. In a letter te the boxing editor, Toauay Walsh, formerly a popular Xiss AEgeles referee, who is now mteasaker for the New Orleans Athfeiie eteb, deetares that the pres t LoaiaiaHa legislature is favorably disposed toward the rehabilitation of ike fight game and the bangtails, and "will, be all probability, restore both to- their faB splendor before many weel are past.

A Boy and a Flying Tank. ASHLAND, March 26. Orpheus Sonnfcfiea, aged H son of Mrs. J. Warasloy, of 176 Mcchanla street, who tarries papers on tho west for ono of tne Portland Journals, conducted a hazardous experiment the other even ing and that ho escaped without ser- , 3o.ua Injury seems under the clrcum "anceltf almost mfraealofM. In the yard, at hla; home thero was Tt gasoline tank with a small amount t tha ssbuatfblo fluid In tho bot - am. Orpheus was playing about it Tridaj orenlng and opening the open fag In tho tank tested his laeg powers ay slewing into it. Thea he lighted a Mate! aad getting ea the tap of tho tank teached the flame to the open faucet. The result can easily be Imagined. Orpheus and his flying "sachlne suddenly eat the air, graz te& Che teavoa el the woodshed, and jaacle a aafelc descent upon the garden -a rod or two distant. That tho young aviator camo through Ms dangerous experionco with nothing more than a bad scaro and a few trusses seems wonderful to tell, hat he did, though It was neces aery te aumnioa a physician to patch ap the superficial braises. SAN FRANCISCO, Cnl.. March f)fl A Innnl atvirtitir wrilnr tmlnt disousscs the possibility of Jeffries failing to meet Jack Johnson next July aud tho position in which such a failure would leave tho fight pro motors. Ho says: "If James J. Jeffries,-for ono ren son or another, fails to keep his np pointmcnt with Jasper Jnck Johnson on tho 4th of next July, tho fight fans of San Francisco nro still as surcd of a championship match providing the dingy title-holder is out of jail and is still ready to "meet unv man in tho world" in a ctfutost for tho heavyweight crown. "Two men, Albert Kaufman of California and "Beggar Sam' Lang ford of Boston,' nro ready to stop into tho breach m case Jeffries fail to too uie scratcn, ana win give Johnson his $10,000 side bet am; split tho purse any way the latter may desire. Nor does either of these men want to meet tho negro for n losers end of the purse on the contrary they would much rather fight Johnson on a winner-tnke-nll basis, so sure are they of their abil uy to stop the champion before the end of a 45-round bout. Kaufman fact, declares that he will meet Johnson in the back room of a sa loon or any other private placo and fight him for the side bet alone. "Beg gar Sam', while not quite so gener ous, is equally anxious to mcot his brothor dingo and has the hardihood to maintain that Johnson is afraid of him. "In the writer's opinion, both Kaufman and Langford hnvo more than a good chance against tho ne gro champion just as good chance, in fact, as Jeffries himself. Of course, the one man whom the public wants to seo in action against the ualveston black is Jeffries but CT . e- . m ueggar oam- ana 'tseau AlDert' are really more entitled to another crack at Johnson than the ex-boilermaker and Bhould at least be considered with tho heavyweight championship which is being discussed. "If Jeffries should happen to be defeated by tho gonlla-like darky from tho Texas water-front, the American people would be inconsol able. It is therefore imperative that he whip himself into the very best condition possible before ho enters tho ring, and failing to do this, it is barely possible that he will even yet decide that discretion is the better part of valor and stay up in the mountains for good. 'In view of this fact, would it not bo well for Tex Richard, who is ar ranging to substitute Teferees and such things to have Albert Kauf man or Sam Langford on hand to take tho ex-champion's place."
