TROUBLE AND DON'T KNOW IT Twin Sullivan and Tommy Burns Box 20 Rounds. Lank Six-Footer From Missouri Joins Portland Club. Steamer,Spencer Will Resume Service April 1, .. GOING STRONG AT THE FINISH VAN BUREN HAS LEGS AND EYE I0NE MAY RUN WITH HER ft iff it 8 f- Eighteen Hundred Spectators in the Tacoma Athletic Club See, Inde cisive Struggle for Middle weight Championship. TACOMA. WaslL, March 7. (Staff Cor respondence.) Tommy Burns, of Chicago, and Jack ("Twin") Sullivan, of Boston, fought a 20-round draw here tonight. The fight was for the middle-weight cham pionship of the world, and if clean fight ing and clever ring generalship would have counted when it came- to handing down the decision. Tommy Burns would have been declared the winner. Burns, however, was satisfied, so, in spite of noisy rooting of tift fight fans present, the decision goes. The fact of the matter is, and those who saw the battle are now satisfied that the much touted "Twin" Sullivan is little better than a great big $Iece of cheese. At the ringside were fight fans from all over the State of Washington and a sprinkling of a. hundred or more of Port land's ring followers. Behind Burns was Tommy Tracey, Portland's favorite, and Jack Hill, another well-known Portlander. At the ringside seats were Jack Grant, Fred Merrill, Jack King, J. Fay, Arthur Harmond, M. J. Collins, Jim Williams and all the traveling men who make their headquarters at Portland that were ia Tacoma tonight. Portlanders Root for Burns. These Portlanders were rooting for Burns, and when Sullivan repeatedly failed to observe the conditions of the light, that of breaking clean at the order of the referee, they mingled their voices in loud protest with the rest of those present. For 1 rounds the battle was a rather tame affair. Burns was always the ag gressor and from the first to the last round brought the battle to the man from Boston. Sullivan entered the ring a. hot 70-to-8 favorite, but before the battle was two rounds old the 1600 people present were howling for Burns. Sullivan may call cultured Boston his home, but .he fell far short of the reputa tion he has earned in his former ring en gagements and far short of what might be termed a fair fighter. It was his con stant infraction of the conditions of the fight that turned the tide of public sym pathy against him. Sullivan Uses a Swing. After a fashlon the haymaker fashion- Sullivan is shifty, but when it comes to the clean-cut exchange of wallops and footwork he was a shine compared with Burns. Sullivan was content with using a wiid, wierd, haymaker swing, all but a few of which missed Burns. The only effective work of Sullivan during the en tire 20 rounds was In the clinches, and this was prohibited. On the other hand. Burns was Jabbing his left into Sullivan's frontal piece. In the 15th round he changed the programme and crossed over a right. With this mighty poke Bums opened a gap over Sullivan's left eye that would have al lowed the entire Japanese army to pass through, and in this same round he cut loose with his left and soon had Sullivan's big proboscis streaming with blood. It was at these two marks, and an oc rasional shot am Id riff, that caused Sulli van to not only slow up, but back up all through the fight. It was at these marks that Burns kept shooting at during the remaining four rounds, and these wallops would havo won for him but for the re quest that he mado to Referee Jimmy ."arroll, after the fight had gone a couple of rounds. Burns Would Claim a Foul When Sullivan Insisted upon hitting In clinches and the crowd began to howl their heads off. Burns told Referee Car roll that he did not want to win the light on a decision or a foul. It was for this reason'that Referee Carroll gave the decision that he did. From this It Is clear that Burns wants another fight with the much-touted "Twin" Sullivan, and those who saw the fight tonight will bet that Burns will win. Three rattling preliminaries were thrown Into the evening's entertainment, but the third one was the best of the lot. In this fight "Chicken" Hudson fought Harry Brown, of San Francisco. It was sched uled as a fight of 10 rounds.- The boys had fought a draw before, and Hudson, a red headed Irish lad. with as much fight in him as there is in a cage of wildcats, wanted to get even. He did. This fight, from a slugging standpoint, was better than the main bout. Hudson was returned the winner via the knock-out route in the fifth round. Ho had almost to kill the 'Frisco lad before he got the decision. W. G. M. TALENT GUESSES FOUR IN SIX Balance of Favorite Winners at Oak land Is With Them. SAN FRANCISCO. March 7.

Virgil Garvin arrived here late last night and was on the diamond early this morning.

Garvin 1b a slim six-footer. He pitched for two hours In the morning, and during the afternoon batted fiercely. VanBuren was -noticeably clever. High balls and straight, swift ones were all alike to him. He picked up some while running from the side. One feature of McCredie's men so far is the scant amount of complaint. Half a dozen players were Interviewed after they had put in Ave hours' work, and none grumbled of stiffness. The prevailing hot weather is a great pre ventative for soreness and no little rivalry exists. Catchers McLean and Swindells. Pitchers Kats and Franch, Shortstops Atz, Runklo and Shirlfy have not put In an appearance yet, and their absence Is causing some anxiety.

MAY CALL NEW GRAM) JURY Work May Not Be Completed by the Present Body. From present indications It Is possible that the Federal grand jury, which has be come so well known throughout the coun try In the past few months, will have to put aside lta wreaths of laurel and retire. leaving a new body of men to finish the work begun by it. The present Jury was called by the United States Circuit Court and the term of that court ends April 10 next- This date will therefore also terminate the ex ister.ee of the grand jury, which cannot act unless the court is sitting. It is probable therefore that tho new Jury will be called by the District Court. If it is not possible for United States Dis trict Attorney Heney to finish his work with the jury before the adjournment of the Circuit Court, Judge Bellinger will call the new jury to take up the work.

Elleric Arrives to Load Cargo of Oats for Japan Steamer Ras Elba Sails From Seattle for This City. Captain K. W. Spencer announces that his steamer, the Chas. R. Soencer. will resume service on her old route between Portland and The Dalles on April 1. The captain has a force of men at work on the boat setting her in readiness for a big Summer's busi ness, and. with the Improvements made in her, he is confident she will even exceed her former speed. There is no doubt that travel on the scenic route will be Immense during the Fair, and tne spencers" schedule will be so ar ranged as to cater especially to this class of business. Captain Spencer Is negotiating with Captain Hosford. owner of the steamer lone, and if they conclude to run the boats jointly, a new boiler will be secured for the lone and her machinery put in better shape, so as greatly to increase her speed. The present intention is to run tho boats on alternate days, except in Mid Summer, when the Spencer will make a round trip between Portland and The Dalles every day, leaving here at 7 o'clock in the morning and return ing before dark. What arrangement the Regulator Line will make to meet this strong op position is not known. It Is presumed the new owners of the company will operate the boats as heretofore, but they have made no statement of their Intentions. The Bailey Gatzert and the Dalles City are still tied up at the Alder-street dock, where a lew' men are at work putting In the new boilers and overhauling the machrnery. No date has been given for the resump tion of service by these steamers. The steamer Teltraph will be brought around from the Sound early next month, according to a statement made by Captain U. B.

The boat Is said to be in the possession of the O. R. & N. Co. and Jacob Kamra, who find it more profitable to let her rust than put her Into commission. ELLERIC ARRIVES.
