Maynard was knocked out In the fourth round;.-after receiving severe pun ishment. McGovcrn adopted his usual rushing tac tics, scoring knockdowns in the first and third rounds, Maynard being on his knees when the gong sounded at the end of the third round. The local man made his best thowlng In the second round, holding his own In several exchanges. McGovern never let tip In his rushes, however,- and gradually wore his man down with ter rific body blows. A right-hand blow on the Jaw early In ihe fourth round sent Maynard to the floor and he was counted out. BOXING I.V NEW YORK. An Athletic Communion May Govern the Sport In Gotham. Senator Frawley, of New York, has In troduced In the State Legislature . a bill which provides for a State Athletic Com mission, which, if it passes, will revive the fighting game In New York, and at the same time exclude the grafter who waxed rich ibefore the Horton law shelved the sport.

Corbett and McGovcrn's Fight.- SAX FRANCISCO. Feb. 2fi. Young Cor bett. who Is to meet Eddie Hanlon In a 30-round bout in this city tomorrow night, has deposited with Morris Levy, of the Hayes Valley Athletic Club, the sum of $300 as a guarantee that he will be ready to meet Terry McGovern befor e Levy's club next month. Corbett is convinced that San Francisco Is the only city in the country where the men can meet without violating the law, and states that unless McGovcrn comes to terms at once he will take it ns a confession of Mc Govem's fear to meet him and will drop the Brooklyn lad from further considera tion. The Hayes Valley Club offers GO per cent of the gross receipts for the fighters. Young Corbett li so anxious to meet Mc Govern that he tilll let Terry McGovern make all the stipulations connected with the contest. RAPID WATER JUSTIFIES NAME.

JIMMY BRITT TO START NORTH. riuniblnsr Boxer Will Arrive In Port land Sunday to Meet O'Keefe. Jimmy Britt, the plumbing boxer from the Golden Gate, who 4a to meet O'Keefe on March 9, last night telegraphed to Jack Grant, president of the Pastime Ath letic Club, saying that he would leave for Portland on next Friday night. That would bring the Beau Brummel of the fistic game ot San Francisco- to the city Sunday. He will take up his headquarters at the "Mikado Hotel. It has not yet been decided where he will put the fin ishing touches to his training. The news of Britt's coming to Portland so early in the game has created a lively Interest among the followers .of the sport. Those who have been watching O'Keefe work have a pretty good .line on his style of fighting, and have been waiting for Britt to come before they lay their bets upon the outcome of the fight. If the stories wafted from the city of fogs and many Chinamen are to be be lieved, Britt has been working hard and faithfully. The little Callfomlan, thus far in his career has not taken any chances when It comes to training for a fight. When he enters the ring he Is always In the pink of condition. O'Keefe is another of this sort. He likes the hum-drum of training and hasn't a lazy germ in hla body. In fact, he works so hard as a rule that he Is apt to grow stale, and be overtrained when the night of the fight comes off. Sic. Hart, how ever, watches his ward and does not al low him to work himself to death. The bout between Britt and O'Keefe has awakened a lively Interest In Chi cago. O'Keefe's home. George Slier, the noted Chicago referee, likes the O'Keefe end of the contest, and has said so In hi column In the Tribune. It Is amusing to note the wlnd-Jabblng turn which the Corbett-Jcffrles imbroglio has taken within the last few days. Some member of the sporting gentry took his yen-hoke, doped his pipe and dreamed that he could hang up a purse of $25,000 for a fight between the heavies in Nevada. Through some system unknown to Mar coni, the ex-champion learned of the bid and accepted it. In spite of the fact that It was to be a fight to the finish. As soon as Corbett had accepted the "dream purse" he laughed aloud, "Ha! ha!" and In a hoarse ptage whisper said aloud: "Now no longer canst that crouching boiler-maker talk through that New Eng land dinner which he carries under his hat. 'Tis his blood I'll spill when once he places his bulky parts before me." Nothing as yet has been heard from Jeffries on this offer. He Is still visiting relatives in Mark Hanna's etatc and do ing a nightly stunt with Bob FItzslmmons. The big champion has declared time over and again that If ever he meets Corbett again he will spoil the features of the handsome ex-bank clerk. "I'm only going to hit him on one spot," declares Jeffries, "and that will be on his nose. I'll make It my duty to spread that shapely facial adornment all over his face, that's what I'll do." Young Corbett In his contest with Han lon will have the first real championship engagement since he won from McGovern. In the half dozen mills in which he has taken part since he sent Terry to the pugilistic land of dreams, hla hardest battle has been with Kid Broad and Billy Maynard. In Corbett Hanlon will meet a boy who will stand to and exchange wallops and swings with him to the call of time. Cor bett. like Hanlon. Is at sea with a shifty and speedy fighter. It is for this reason that Hanlon seemed so slow when he. mixed It with the clever Attel. The fight should be a hammer and tone affair Just as soon as the boys get a line on each other. In doping the outcome, the champion looks the better, and unlets the lucky punch 'docs the trick, there Is little danger of Corbett losing his title. In ring experience the Denver lad has decidedly the best of the going, and ought to be a warm favorite. Joe Cotton, the colored fighter who has battled all over the East and West, came to Portland several days ago for the pur pore of getting on a match with Jost, a well-known local fighter. Cotton has beaten me of the best In the second fighting division. One of his best battles was with Tommy Ryan In Philadelphia, which went 20 rounds to a draw. Cotton Is here In response to a challenge which Jost losued several days ago. lie la will ing to fight for a purse and will make a side bet of $200. for either a finished bout or a limited go. Cotton can be found at O'Keefe's training quarters. Tom Tracey has a new picture of Jack Dempsey which Is attracting a great deal of attention. The picture Is one taken when that great fighter was en Joying -the best of health. In the pic ture Dempsey looks more like .a bank cashier than the great boxer he was. CHILES UP TO BOARD OP CONTROL. Portland Directors Refer His Cnse to Dnseball Tribunal. It Is up to the board of control of the Pacific Coast League whether Pierce Chiles plays baseball this coming season with the Portland nine. The directors of the Portland Baseball Association yester day forwarded to President J. T. Moran their report which resulted from their careful Investigation into the charges lodged against Chiles. Until word Is received from President Moran the local board will take no action In regards to changing the personnel of the team. The present line-up is as strong. If not stronger, than any team In the league. The following make-up of the team as -Nadeau left field. Van Buren cen ter nem. smith, right field, Zln zer or Chiles or some one yet to be selected on first base, Anderson second base, Claud Schmeer shortstop. Jay An drews third base, Sam Vlgneux manager and catcher. Con Harlow catcher. Portland's pitching corps Is almost as long as a child's dream of heaven. There Is Shields, the slender southpaw, who drew many favorable comments from the Amer ican League fans last year. Then there Is Thatcher, Butler, Engle and a num ber of other crofty slab artists, who will lend their aid In again bringing the cove ted flag to Portland. The selection of the team which Is to wear Portland colors has been carefully made. The directors have seen to It that each man is an all-round player and should at any time any one of the players be crippled, other members .of the team can be shifted about and yet maintain their playing. Good stick work and clever base-running is another thing which the directors have kept in mind. The fans, ot course, are at sea con cerning the playing" abilities .of the team. A number of the players are well known here, and they are simply expected to continue the good work this season. The new players, however, will have to de liver the goods before they are let Into the fan pastures In Portland. Nadeau, who Is slated to look after the left garden, comes from the New York State League. He Is a heady player, and comes to the Portland Club with good clearance papers. Wilmot tried hard to sign Anderson, and he would have done so had Anderson been a fickle-minded balltosser. Zlnzer is also an Eastern leaguer with the right sort of papers. Catcher Harlow knows all about the Cot ton State League, Behind the mask Har. low Is a tower of strength. He has never been introduced to King Charley Horse, -and has a throwing arm which will bear watching. The base-runner who steals from him must be as fleet as a quarter horse, and must slide like the proverbial Kelly. The playing of Manager Vlgneux needs no comment, and so It is with the rest of the team. Truly the baseball situation Is looking up. If Manager Motley has his way. Governors and Mayors will lend their aid In sending benders and Inshoots over the plate in the opening games of the Pacific Coast League. At Los Angeles Mayor Snyder, after he has ridden in the van guard of the Seattle and Los Angeles clubs, will pitch the first bender over the plate, and thus open the series. At Sacramento Governor Pardee will doff his coat, and with arms unsheltered to the smiling sun, send the first pitched ball over the plate. Thus with bands play ing and the city and county government officials riding Jn carriages and the base balllsts riding In automobiles, will the sea- ing In making the coming season a suc , cess? If so. Just write to Manager Mor , ley, who has been dreaming the afore- mcnuunea programme. Lewis Nordyke. who did first "base hon ors on the San Francisco team last year, according to the Spokane Chronicle, has arrived in that city, and will remain un. 1 til the season opens. He has this to say about Portland and Seattle Joining the Pacific Coast League: "The towns ot Se attle and Portland were taken by Har ris because they asked for admission. Harris Is not financially Interested In T either of the towns, and whether they make money or not. will make but little difference to- him, though he appears to be confident that they will." 3efore coming north, Nordyke saw King Kelly and Nichols, who stated they would be with Spokane this year. Mc Laughlin, last year's star fielder, also stated he would be with this city. Nor dyke predicts that Spokane win have a strong team and should hold its own with the other clubs. Miss Hecele Wins at Bowllnir. The ladles' prize bowling pin. ot the Multnomah Athletic Club, will be warn by Miss H. Hegele this week, her score ot 179 being the highest made at yesterday morning's tournament on the club alleys. Good ecores were also made by Mrs. J. W. Mathcna. Mrs. A. Vasey, Miss B. Burck hardt. Miss P. Mathena. Miss M. Price, Mrs. C. Unna and Mrs. W. Y. Martin. The feminine bowlers take great Inter est In these weekly tournaments.

The clubmen have similar tournaments on Monday. and Tuesday evenings of each week. Progress of New Defender. BRISTOL. R. I., Feb. 23. The new cup yacht Is growing rapidly. The upper por tion of the stem his been fastened on the ply. It is of steel and Is attached to the bronze stem underneath, giving to the boat her designed outline at the forward end. In many respects this gives the appearance of a spoon bow, but not to a radical degree, owing to the length of the overhang. The mainmast, which Is now completed In the south shop, shows a length which will preclude the possi bility of tho gaff boing too far out bared, as was the case at one time with the mast of the Constitution. The main mast U being fitted with two sets of spreaders. Champion Bowling Team. INDIANAPOLIS.

Some Contractors Sn City Engi neer's Estimates Are Too Loir. Bids for the construction of sewers have been rejected by the city authorities of late, and. It is rumored that other bids for constructing sewers which have been handed in are also to be rejected. Contractors, whose bids have been re jected as unreasonably high because above the estimates prepared by City Engineer Elliott, are not satisfied. They say that the Engineer's estimates are too low be cause he has not made allowance for the fact that the prices of labor and material are constantly advancing. Labor which used to cost $1.75 per day now receives $150 and pipe layers get $3 per day. It requires men who have had experience to do good work In constructing sewers. Many men who work well in the open, when put In a sewer trench cannot throw earth more than eight feet, while men accustomed to such work can throw It 12 feet. Another contractor said It was not the province of the Engineer to set prices by his estimates, but merely to follow them. The cost of work Is governed by the law ot supply and demand and all the Engi neer can do Is to follow the market for labor and material. "What about contractors combining to raise prices?" was asked. "There Is no such combination." was the reply, "and never can be so long as careful and correct estimates are made. Any attempt at such a combination can easily be discovered." "Another thing which prevents any ouch combination." continued the old contrac tor, "Is the large number of persons'com ing,ln who wish to engage In city work, such as constructing sewers, or sidewalks, or Improving streets, which promises to be very plentiful for the next few years." "AH that contractors ask." said another, "Is that in estimating for public work the scarcity of labor and the high price of material be taken into consideration and allowance made for the emergencies and delays constantly occurring in the prose cution of public work." THEATRICAL WAR WAGES Trust Claims a Victory In Cities ot 'Northwest. NEW YORK. Feb. 25. The theatrical war Is growing. Klaw & Erlanger today announced that they had secured book ings in Stair & Havlln's Northwest ter ritory. Theaters Included ore in Idaho and Washington. Portland, Seattle, Ta coma and other big cities are now in the trust. Stair & Havlln concede that the, syndicate has entered their territory, but' deny the five years' agreement as claimed. Klaw & Erlanger also gave Stair & Havlln a body blow by getting the exclu sive booking of all Gus Hill attractions away from them. Stair & Havlln declare Gus Hill's companies play popular price houses only, and as they control the best 100 houses In the country, the trust will have a hard time placing Hill shows. Re ports from Seattle, the headquarters of the Northwestern Theatrical Association, are that Klaw & Erlanger are to have ex clusive booking privileges of those houses for five years. Stair & Havlln say they will go on booking In three of. these houses now in operation the same as in the past, only that Klaw & Erlanger will also furnish them with some attractions. "The managers out there have decided to put their eggs in two baskets Instead of one," was the sententious manner in which George H. KIcolai. general repre sentative of Stair & Havlln. put It yester day. "We do not look upon this In- tho light of a victory for the opposition. Our plays will be as well taken care of out there as formerly." One of the most Interesting develop ments is the Intention of Gus iiill not to be so closely allied with Stair '& Havlln In the future as in the past. Klaw & Erlanger are to "take care of" Mr. Hill's burlesque and farce combinations next season. This will mark the determined move which Klaw & Erlanger have made In a popular price field, and proves that the tentative agreement they had with Stair & Havlln for several years has been put permanently to one side. From now on the fight may be expected to wage merrily. Calvin Helllg. general manager of the Northwestern Theatrical Association, was In town for two days, leaving for his home In Portland. Or., last night. Mr. He!l!g's time was spent at the exchange of Klaw & Erlanger. He did not visit the rivals ot that firm across the street. NO UP-TOWN EXHIBIT. But Information Bureau Proposes Merger to Chamber of Commerce. The Trustees of the Oregon Information Bureau have addressed the following let ter to the Chamber of Commerce In re ply to the proposal to maintain an up-town exhibit of the state's resources. In view of the fact that the Information Bureau will have a complete exhibit at the Union depot. It was decided not to accept the offtr of the Chamber of Commerce. The counter-proposal has been made of merg ing the two exhibits under the manage ment ot the Information Bureau. The letter follows: Portland. Feb. 24. The Chamber of Com merce Gentlemen: We have Had under con sideration the proposition as outlined by your committee, Messrs. Batcheldcr and GUI. to wlt: The advisability ot combining the ex hibit in your possession with that ot the Ore gon Information Bureau. While we are In ac cord with the spirit of the movement, we do not feel Justified In obliging ourselves to maintain an no-town exhibit in addition to the one we are now Installing at the Union Depot. The object of oar organization Is strictly one. of Information. Therefore our first aim must be the collection In tabulated form ot such facts as will enable us to intelligently direct those seeklur Information. We expect to Install at once a display ot the products of pur state. Tfits. howorer. Is only to draw attention to Its diversified re sources, and will be secondary so far as tbe objects of the bureau are concerned. We have, through the courtesy of the Ter minal Company, secured (free ot renO suitable office and display accommodations at the Union Depot. While we are willing to concede some advantages to be derived from an up-town office, we are ot the opinion that tbe greatest good can be accomplished through the location we have selected, and all subscriptions to the fund were made with the understanding that this location has been secured. We therefore cannot change the plan at present. We should be glad to co-operate with too. and. If deemed advisable by the Chamber of Commerce, we can arrange to take care of the exhibit In your possession and make It a part of the exhibit already arranged for In the location we have secured. In case this Is your wish, we would suggest that your secretary could refer to the Oregon Information bureau all Inquiries and correspondence that would properly come under Its Jurisdiction, with the assurance that each case would be carefully and Intelligently handled and a proper record kept of the trans action, so that reference may be made to It at any time you may desire. If this plan meets with the approval of your honorable body, we should be pleased to have you communicate with us at once, as It Is our desire to perfect arrangements Imme diately. Very truly yours.

James Cameron, who has been absent from the city for about a year, was en countered by a friend yesterday standing at the corner of Fourth and Alder streets looking around as If astonished. He said: "There has been cuch a chance and such A FEELING. Good Food Makes It. No one so well knows tbe delicious feel ing that comes from being well fed as the one who has suffered and then found food that really would digest and nourish. Feed tho body aright and see the change. A lady of Latrobe. Pa., writes: "Some years ago I had an attack of ner vous prostration and my vocation of music teacher being very trying, the nervousness affected my digestive organs so much that food could not be eaten without great distress. "This had been my condition for years. About tour years ago I had a heavy cold that went to the weak parts and caused catarrh of the, stomach. I took bottle after bottle of medicine but nqth Inz seemed to help. "I was always hungry and unsatisfied but nothing gave me strength and flnally T could not even take a sip of cold water without pain and vomiting. Food dis tressed me so that I would throw up mouthfuls of slime and mucus. "Well. I had reached that stage of not caring much to live and still not quite lick enough to die when I Anally was in duced to try Grape-Nuts. The food worked like a charm. Thero was no distress after eating and I felt as if I had a little hold on life. That was the beginning of the end of my sickness. The nervousness gradually left me and I 'became entirely cured of that dreadful disease, nervous prostration. I soon regained my usual weight and more, and have more color In my checks than I have had In years, and I give Grape-Nuts the credit. I could cat them three times a day. They are in valuable to mo.

Just about a year ago. there was a few old shacks on the corner and a row of dilapidated looking old poplar 'trees. Now they are all gone and that fine build-, ing (pointing to the Hohenstaufen) has completely changed the appearance of this neighborhood." "I remember the old shacks and the old poplars." said the per ron addressed, "but I think they were re moved something over a year ago." "No," Insisted the other, "I know that It Is not quite a year since I was here and the shacks and trees were there then." They continued to dispute about thlo question of time, and finally bet the drinks and cigars on It. and went Into a .?tore not far away to have the matter decided. The proprietor said ho thought It was less than a year since the ground was cleared for the Hohenstaufen. He opened a scrapbook and produced a clipping from The Ore gonlan ot March 9. 1D02. and read as fol lows: "The work of tearing down the old buildings on Mr. Welnhard's lot at the southeast corner of Fourth and Alder streets, preparatory to building a four story brick, will be commenced this week. Tho Improvement of the property will In clude the removal of tho five starved-Iook-Ing poplar trees on the Fourth-atreet side of the lot. which have almost become 'one of the old landmarks.'

Our Unloading Sale of PIANOS AND ORGANS IS ATTRACTING ATTENTION FROM FAR AND NEAR AND PEOPLE ARE NOT SLOW IN TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE MATCHLESS BARGAINS WE ARE OFFERING ON OUR OLD ES TABLISHED HIGH-GRADE PIANOS. THINK OF SUCH PIANOS AS KNABE, EVERETT. STECK. HARDMAN. FISCH ER. LUDWIG, MASON & HAMLIN. KINGSBURY. CABLE. HAMILTON, AND OTHERS. THAT HAVE ALL WON HIGH HONORS IN THE PIANO WORLD, SELLING FROM $173 UP, AT $C $S. $10. $15 AND $30 PER MONTH. When we advertise a special cut price on pianos and organs, the people realize It Is no scheme to attract trade. They have long rlnce learned that we do not barter In the "thump-box" business by handling stenciled goods under various names that ' the purchasing public have no knowledge of, and that are made of soft wood, painted cases, with celluloid keys and painted sharps, and the cheapest of cheap actions. Most people that buy pianos know very little of the construc tion nnd merits of a piano unless It be some special favorite, and that Is why the thump-box has found such a wide field. A piano is one of the most essential things of the home, and as we are giving our time, money and energy to that business our object is to raise the standard and give to our customers goods that are worthy the name. So when you buy a piano of us. you can rest assured It Is of a standard reputation, and can be thorough ly relied upon as to tone, quality and durability. This month, owing to reasons already stated, we started out to unload ten cars that had been delayed in ship ment, nnd by the way they are going there will be none left by the end of the month. There are only a few days left, so If you want a genuine piano snap you had better call soon. Second-hand organs and old square pianos taken In exchange as first payment.. SEXtNDJI-ND PIANOS. We are constantly taking In exchange second-hand pianos and organs that we put in flrst-cls ss condition, and name a price on same that makes them sell rap Idly. If you want a good second-hand piano, come In and we will fit you out with something that will answer every purpose for the present, ana later on we will take It back in exchange for a new one If you so desire.
