Inadequate to Demands

f-liort I.eawc Held on Grounds From

I'owcr- Company Reason for
Temporary Arrangement.
T.T TV. J. FETRAIN.
TV. arrival of tha New Tear, the d-I'-irture
of football, and the prospect of
most successful baseball aea.on. brings
to mind the fact that the fans of Port
lam! for eight years have put up with
a mak'ehift gran Jrtand ami seatlnsr ac
commodations whenever they have pat
ronized the contests on the diamond. The
t'ommndations now In evidence at the
Twenty-fourth and Vaughn-street park
ar absolutely lnaJquate. both from the
point of comfort as well as convenience,
m nfy the wants of the fans who
throng the enclosure at the fmps.
In onlT to properly summarise the sit
uation, a short lilsiory of the baeeball
p:irk will he necessary. In the year 19"1.
lin baseball was attain taken up and
promoted in Portland, after a lapse of
several years, the present site of th"
park was leased and a grandstand and
J!i-acliers thrown u; Inside of three
weeks time. The original structure was
f the cheapest construction, and while
built strong enough to survive one sea
son, the Item of expenses was cut down
to t'.ie lowest possible figure because base
ball in Portland at that time was looked
tipjn as a mere experiment. In previous
jars, enterprises of the same kind had
be -n started and had failed before the
season was completed. On this account
til? promoters did not care to erect an
elaborate structure, with th prospect of
1 lilure ahead, and therefore contented
themselves with erecting a stand and
I M achers which probably did not repre
' sent an outlay of more than H'Xk).
Additions Only Temporary.
The following: yer, after baseball had
proved so successful the opening season.
S"me additions were made, but these,
like the original structure, were flimey.
and made only to meet the requirements
of the times. When the Pacific Coast
IyuRue was organized the stands and
bleachers were not rebuilt, but simply
'. reinforced with stronger timbers than for
merly upheld tho structures. Additional
hi-achers have been added from time to
time, and at present the grounds aro
raoable of seating- between 6M) and ftwO
. p-rsorts. and crowtte as great as and
!) have been squeezed into the en
closure, and try as they may, the base
bail promoters now In control cannot ac
commodate the larger crowds In a man
Tier that prove satisfactory to the per-
sons who pay to s? the games.
The baseball park is owned by the
Portland Railway. Light & Power Corn
pa!!)' which concern leases the gTounds
from year to year to the McCredles. and
It Is understood that this lease can be
terminated at any time providing that a
year's notice Is given.
Short Leas an "Obstacle.
With such a short lease, the McCVed'.es
say they cannot afford to undertake the
' obligation of building a commodious base
ball park capable of seating at least W.0O0
persons, w hich Is the present requirement
I of Portland, and as the city grows each
year, the baseball attendance will cor
respondingly Increase. The railway com
pany Is said to want the ball grounds for
the site of a carbara, which will be re
quired soon, and for that reason refuses
t extend the lease for any greater length
of time.
Judge McCredle stated last Summer
that if he were to secure a ten-years'
leae on the present site he would erect
a IIO.Oa) plant on the grounds. If such
fiiould come to pass It would mean that
Portland would have tha finest baseball
grounds in the West, but as It is almost
; too late now to commence the consrruc
1 Ion of steel-framed stands and bleachers
tt seems quite likely that Portland will
h- compelled to put tip with the same
old. dusty, dirty and woefully small ac
- commodallons for at least another year.

BaSEBALL MEN TO MEET
NATIONAL- COMMISSION TO CON

Eastern League and American AssO'
elation Demanding Separate
Classification.
CINCINNATI, Jan. 3. Many Important
matters are to come before the annual
meeting of the National Baseball Com
mission which opens In this city tomor
row. Chief in importance is the con
troversy over the status of the Eastern
league and American Association, which
have united in a demand for a separate
classification and higher rating than other
minor clubs which they charge with at
tempting to run their affairs.
It is possible that the Chicago ticket
scalping charges may be reopened. The
application of Manager Kelly for the en
forcement of his contract with the Boston
National League team will probably be
presented and numerous applications for
reinstatement will occupy tne attention
of the commission.
Among other matters to be considered
are:
The reinstatement of Hal Chase, first
baseman of the New York Americans:
the reinstatement of James Sebrlng. Doc
Relsllng and Joe Ward, formerly of the
Brooklyn team, but now with the Tri
State League; the reinstatement of mem
bers of the Washington team who played
against ineligible teams In Chicago last
Fall; the drafting of a schedule by the
National League Commission and the

of the game between the Japanese and
Chinese, the Imperials, a picked Ce
lestial eleven and all native sons, de
feated the Fujla this morning at Free

The Japanese were completely out

weighing their opponents by 10 pounds.
The Chinese made their two touch
downs In the first 10 minutes of play.
the first on a cross buck and the
other on a straight line rush.
The oddness of the affair created
a stir In sportdom. Both teams showed
an intimate acquaintance with the
American game and put up a good
exhibition, considering the sloppy con
dition of the gridiron. The signals
were In English. Many Chinese girls

keen delight in the contest.
'GLAD HAND' CLUB FORMED

(MY FIGHT, CORBETT SATS
PROFESSES TO THINK HE CAN
WHIP JOHNSON.
Says He's Willing If Australians
Offer Purs and Give Him
Six Months to Train.
DENVER, Jan. S. Apparently. Jamee J.
Corbett Is sincere In his announced de-
Rlns Costume Picture off James
J. Corbett, Who ProfeMeea
W llllncness to Re-enter Rlng-
nd Flgbt Champion Johnson.
sire to re-enter the prize-ring and en
deavor to bring 'back to a white man the
world's heavyweight championship won
by Jack Johnson, the Galveston colored
fighter. Given six months In which to
train and condition himself properly for
suoh a contest, he said today, he felt
supremely confident he could win. So
tt la more than probable that, should the
Australian fight promoters, falling to coax
big Jim Jeffries back into the arena to
meet the colored man, take Corbett's talk
seriously and offer a championship purse
for a championship fight, Corbett. one of
the cleverest men who ever put on a
glove, would again be seen In the ring.
Corbett Is now 42 years old, but it must
be said of him that he appears to be In
perfect physical condition. Since fho
night of August 14. 1903. when Jeffries
knocked him out In 10 rounds, Corbett
has had on a boxing glove but once.
"But I've always kept up my exercise,"
said Corbett, to an Associated Press rep
resentative today, "and physically I know
I am In better condition than Jeffries or
any of the others outside of these young
fellows who wouldn't have a chance on
earth anyway with John.
"Honestly, though, I did not mean to
start this talk of my going up against
Johnson. I simply feel badly to see a
colored man champion, and I told a bunch
of friends one evening how I felt and
that I dldn t know of any man who had
a better chance with Johnson than my
self, unless It should be Jeffries. I don't
want to be put In the position of ap
parently Issuing a challenge to flffht
Johnson. I don't Intend to do anything
of the kind. I talked, too much because
I felt so badly over tlie Australian fight.
'But If the Australian people should
happen to Ilka the Idea and give me six
months in which to train, why, I'll go
into the came again and I think I could
make good and get that championship
back."
Corbett has done nothing toward can
celling his theatrical engagements and
will not unless some action Is taken at
tha other end. He said, however, that
he Intended to do some active training
at tha Denver Athletic. Club next week
and so far as possible would condition
himself while on the road for the rest ol
the season.
Corbett said his weight had not changed
much In several years and that he could
probably enter the ring weighing about
1S5 pounds stripped.

WHEN the Heilig orchestra struck
the . first strains of "The Totem
Pole Song" last night the audience began
to applaud and it was a noticeable in
terval before Edward Martlndel could
start the most unique musical number
In American musical comedy. The song
has the same swing and rhythm, tne
same big atmosphere that made a sen
sation a year ago, and the cfiorus of to
tems brought the same gasp of aston
ishment, although a considerable per
centage of those present had seen tt be
fore, t
"The Alaskan's" good points have been
made better by pruning and the weak
spots have been strengthened. The piece
as it stands Is much better than when it
came out of New York via Seattle some
18 months ago. The company which In
terprets tt this season averages about
the same as on Its former visit, although
It Is In sore need of comedians, and
Teddy Webb Is greatly missed. The cos
tumes, which represent a small fortune
in real Alaska furs, are fully equal to
those of yore and the scenery shows lit
tle trace of wear and tear. This year's
chorus Is much better trained, although
It does not quite come up to its prede
cessor in point of looks. Its singing',
however. Is a treat for offended ears who
have been listening to what goes for en
semble music In the average murfcal
show.
By long odds the most Important prin
cipal In the present instance is Edward
Martlndel. who continues as "Totem Pole
Pete," the mine foreman. Martlndel has
a glorious baritone voice and knows all
the tricks of making; it effective. Aside
from the feature song already referred
to, his "Song of the Riffles" takes one
back to the golden days of "Robin
Hood." Martlndel Is also a capable
actor and gives an altogether admirable
performance.
Forrest Huff, the tenor who succeeds
Harry GIrard in the part of Atwater, the
young mlneowner. Is an Improvement
on the former. His' voice Is not big. but
it "gets across" effectively. He has a
pleasing stage presence and does accept
able work throughout. Lora Lelb. who
succeeds Alice Kaln Brown as prima
donna, is rather a disappointment in the
matter of voice, but she Is good-looking,
has a pretty way with her and dresses
exquisitely. That popular Portland
singer, Anne Beatrice Sheldon, who was
cast as the chaperon originally, has given
way to Frltzle von Busing, a stunning
brunette, who possesses a contralto voice
of high quality, although she has all too
little opportunity to use It. Dick Fitz
gerald, who succeeds Webb as Strander,
works hard to make the part funny, but
somehow falls to get- results. His per
sonality seems to be negative and the
lack of spontaneity 'Is continually im
pressed on his audience. The best fun
in the show is furnished by William
Fables, who plays the Teddy Bear. He
is an excellent pantomlmist. Kunter
Wilson plays the hone-hunting naturalist
fairishly.
As is of common knowledge. "The
Alaskan" is largely a Seattle affair. The
book and lyrics having been contributed
by Joseph Blethen of the esteemed
Times, while the music is the work of
Harry GIrard. The one serious fault I
have to find with these two gentlemen is
tho song "Arlie." which is inflicted in
the second act. Both' words and music
are positively inane. They should take
the ax to It.
Devil's Auction at Baker
CHARLES H. TALE'S "Devil's Auc
tion," rewritten and retlnseled and
generally revamped, was opened at the
Baker last night for a week's run, and
as a result the "Standing- Room Only"
sign was hung out early In the even
ing. This famed potpourri of fun and
maple always draws well, and tne en
thusiasm with which It was received
by the audience of young" and older
folk last night seemed to Indicate that
Its hold upon the public is still firm.
Of coursa but little can be said
about the plot or action of tho extrava
ganza; It 13 always a generous mix
ture of fun and Impossible welrdness,
with which the actors do their level
best. Last night they did this, and
got frequent laughs and applause.
The audience seemed' to like the snow,
and that Is the main thing.
Among: the specialties, which were
all new, the work of the Sisters Plun-
kett stood out with markea promi
nence. Particularly did Estella Plun
kett prove herself the life of the
Bhow In her soubrette role, while her
rich mezzo-soprano made her specialty
one of the best. Both the Plunketts
are lively and graceful dancers as
well, and scored a hit. Estella's "Cow
boy Girls" were especially well re
ceived. Taken all In all this year's "Devil's
Auction" is fully up to the standard
of the past, and la much better In
some points. The fun In the show this
year Is cleaner than ever before, a
point that should bring many children
to enjoy Us wondrous scenes and Il
luminated changing tableaux.
Jane Eyre" at Star
OLD stagers, when they find "Jane
Eyre" billed, drift back In memory
to the days of Maggie Mitchell, Char
lotte Thompson and Clara Morris In their
prime, and they go to see the good old
play of their youth with an extra hand
kerchief or two tucked away handily.
"Jane Eyre" without a "weep" seems
like a farce-comedy without a smile; but
that is the manner In which Charlotte
Bronte's story Is told by the Rowland
& Clifford Company at the Star this
wek. The pathetlo and lump-raising
lines are slurred over and tAe Intoxicated
serving-girl, the perplexed butler, the
young "leftenant" with the marvelous
laugh, tho mournful cure and the fun
loving Adele are given full swing.
Miss Dorothy Turner has a fine concep
tion of the requirements of the title ro'e
and carries out this conception with con
siderable evidence of talent. If she had
the old adaptation and more opportunity
to bring out the star part, sha doubtie&s
would be equal to the task. She Is a
tall, graceful woman, and the same may
be said of Dorothy Kenyon aid Ethel
Bayonne. Lois Meredith, in the char
acter of Grace, the housemaid with an
uncontrollable thirst for gin, is some
thing new in "Jane Eyre," but while,
as a rule, the portrayal of a blbu'.ous
woman Is far from pleasing. Miss Mere
dith does well to keep the character from
the disgusting stage. Marion Zimmer
man Is an acceptable Adele, and with
her lover. Lieutenant Ingram, played
by Pat Garln, capers through the acts
to the amusement 01 too &uujeiii:e.
Edwin Scribner is sufficiently dignified
as Lord Rochester, and E. B. Bonner is
capital aa the hypocritical rector.

1"V AVID BELASCO is an acknowledged
j wizard at adaptation and produc
tion. He has a positive genius for dls
covering material In obscure corners
and whipping- It Into shape as practical
literary commodity. One of the most
notable Instances of this talent of his
Is "Zaza," which he found somewhere
In the French. He does not credit the
author of the original, whoeven he may
have been.. Perhaps the French author
was a member of the local branch of
the T. M. C. A., and declined to he Iden
tified with the problem play which has1
enjoyed such a great vogue In America
these 10 years last past. At ajiy event,
Mr. Belasco stands single sponsor for
the work.
The play Is eminently a vehicle for
a woman star, the unhappy concert
hall "artist" toeing the front and center,
also the circumference and diameter, of
things. This Is the second time Izetta
Jewel has appeared here In the role.
and yesterday she repeated the distinct
artistic success she made of the part
last season. It Is a difficult undertak
lng for a young stock leading woman to
follow Mrs. Carter and Florence Rob
erts, who have both presented "Zaza"
here on more than on occasion; but
Miss Jewel need mako no apologies.
Her work Is of a high order, combining
a mastery of the lines with intelligent
Interpretation of the play's slgnifl
cance. She has done a number of ex
ceptionally good things this season, and
to that list must be added her Zaza.
She follow Mrs. Carter rather closely,
and In her red wig, bears a striking- re
semblance to the famous emotional
star. The piece offers very little of en
couragement to the leading man, Ber
nard Duffrene, Is a rather colorless In
dividual, and one of the prize cads of
the stage. One cannot possibly feel
sympathy for him, but It Is unfortu
nately true that he represents a type
more or less common to the social or
ganization of all civilized countries.
Insofar as the epportunltles come to
him. Mr. Ayres makes the most of them.
Mina Crollus Gleason's Aunt Rosa Is
exceedingly well done. Mrs. Gleason
makes the besotted old duenna excel
lent fun, without descending to carica
ture, and without becoming offensive
to the more discriminating auditor.
Donald Bowles Is a capital Cascart, al
though his dressing and make-up is a
bit grotesque. Louise Kent plays the
wife in the case with excellent reserve
and fineness, while William Gleason, as
the antique roue, De Brissac, is playing
In fine form.
Marlbel Seymore Is fascinating
Florlenne, and Luclle Webster "builds
up" the Insignificant part of Nathalie
into one of much Importance. The proJ
ductlon and the fact that the company
is more than usually well up In its
lines, are causes for felicitation on all
sides. "Zaza" will run through the
week.

Cut Your Fuel Bill In Two
In an ordinary soft coal stove half of the coal arises In eras and
promptly goes up the chimney. When vou remember that Ras Is itself
fine fueL belnr used in all the large cities for eooklnjr, heating and lighting-,
you realize how much Is saved If the gas doesn t escape, but Is held
In the stove and burned.
COLE'S ORIGINAL HOT BLAST SAVES HALF THE FUEL.
This patented Hot Blast Draft'doesn't work in leaky stoves, and that
Is one reason why Imitations are failures.
It really makes soft coal last as long and burn as nicely as hard coal.
This wonderful stove burns anything hard coal, soft coal, wood, com
bustible rubbish anything.

And How These are Re
duced to a Minimum In the
Methods of an Expert
Specialist
Doctors make more mistakes than a re made
in any other profession. I believe I am quali
fied to make a definite statement In this regard,
as fully half my work as a Specialist consists
of correcting the mistakes of other doctors.
The reason for so many mistakes is easily made
plain to any person who will stop to consider
the tremendous task assumed bv the regular
physician. In attempting too much he accom
plishes far too little. The greatest mistake of
the doctor Is the presumption that he can un
derstand the whole human machine, and -offer
everyluess be'nS- Pa' The Le-ai-iecH..
Let a man with a chronic disorder go to 10 different doctors, and
he Is more likely to get 10 different opinions than five that are alike.
And If five doctors did affree on a diagnosis, each one would be sure
to offer a prescription different from the other four. There are some
two thousand diseases In the list of what are known as "chronic"' ail
ments, and probably twenty thousand symptoms, either direct or re
mote. They range all the way from falling of the hair to pains In the
toe, and the average doctor is supposed to know them all. or at least
seldom refuses to treat them If he can get pay for nls services. He
may be conscientious In his desire to help the sufferer, but In under
taking so large a task he Is more likely to fall ten times than cure
once. And he cannot, without Injuring: a patient's confidence In hi
ability, recommend the services of a specialist Instead of his own.
If afflicted with any of the ailments constituting my specialty, seek
an expert's and not an amateur's services. You can come to me know
ing that I have treated hundreds of cases like your own, and thou
sands of others verv similar. You can rest assured that I will know
Just what to do will not make a single misstep In the treatment of
your case, and that a complete and permanent cure will follow.
My Fee in AH
Uncomplicated
Cases ...
The Incurable cases that come under my observation have been those
of men who have neglected to seek treatment In time, or have tried to
cure themselves with electric belts, patent nostrums, a drugstore treat
ment, or some other worthless means. Such treatments are far worse
than none at all. They nearly Invariably produce complications that are
as hard to cure as the original disease. Sometimes they appear to
benefit for a time, but as sure as Fate their after-effects will prove
harmful many times fatal. BEWARE OF THEM. They cannot cure
you, no matter how eloquently they are advertised. Seek my scientific
and successful Direct-Method Treatment, that will not fall to cure you.
Do not delay until your case has advanced Into the Incurable state.
MY MODERN and up-to-date methods will effect a certain and
speedy cure Of SPERMATORRHOEA, CONTRACTED DISORDERS, SPE
CIFIC BLOOD POISON, LOST STRENGTH and all reflea nllmenta.
