"White used his left chwerly In the first
two rounds, but In the third he changed
Jits tactics, relying mainly .on his right.
Two rounds later the cause of this shift
was apparent. White had broken his left

hurt It early In the third round.
White was knocked down once in the
sixth, twice in the seventh, when the bell
saved him by one second, and once In
the eighth.

JOHN L. SCORNS JOHNSON
VBTEKAS FIGHTER THIVKS HIM
SEAR-CHAM P.
6ays Burly Black Has Streak of Yel
low and Will Be Beaten by
Some Real Fighter.
, Jf W. J. PETRAIX.
John L. Sullivan and Jake Kilrain, the
two former pugilists who occupied top
rotch positions In the fistic world 20 years
ago, do not think very much of Jack
Johnson's blatant claims to the champion
ship, and the former Is outspoken in his
opinion that James J. Jeffries will not
return to the ring.
The opinion of a man like Sullivan, who
openly boasts of never having fought a
hattle with a negTO. and the reasons why
he has never done so. are worthv of note
for 20 years ago John L. Sullivan met and
' defeated more, good fighters In one month
than the present day "boxers" meet In
three years time. In fact, he was never
known to refuse to meet any man except
those of the colored race, and in making
this exception, Sullivan simply says. "I
never knew a negro who was good enough
a fighter for me to lower my own esti
mation of myself to meet him In the
rlrur."
There were only one or two good col
ored men In the days of John L. Sullivan.
One of these was George Godfrey, who
was defeated by Jake Kilrain, and for
that reason, as well as his general aver
sion to fighting colored men, Sullivan al
ways maintained that he was superior to
that class of fighters and refused to meet
them.
When asked to express an opinion re
garding Jack Johnson's championship
claims and aspirations to meet James J.
Jeffries.. John L. Sullivan makes the fol
lowing statement to the writer:
"Johnson seems to have the qualifica
tion which predominates In every boxer,
or fighter, if you will, of his race, brag
gadocio. He has net shown any cham
pionship caliber whatever, and by licking
Tommy Burns he does not add very much
to his prowess. Bums is a much sraaljor
man than Johnson. He has nowhere near
the height and reach of the colored man,
and yet it took Johnson 14 rounds to do
what any good white fighter ought to
accomplish In two or three rounds. John
son says ho could have beaten. Burns in
less time. Could he? That Is the ques
tion. This same howl Is the one that has
been made by all second-rate fighters,
whether white or black, after their battle
was over and they . commence to realize
that they have made a poor showing.
"I never knew of a colored fighter in
my life who did not have & yellow streak,
and this man Johneon has one as sure
as you're alive. , Personally. I think if
I were to make any distinction between
colored men, I would choose this Sam
Langfordl as a better man than John
son. "When I was In my best days in
the ring I never knew of a colored man
who was worthy of my consideration as
a fighter. I always drew the line on
them, for I could not eee where I was
j to ba benefited by beating such men.
xnere were too many &ooa wnue men
in those days who could, and some of
them did frequently, take the measure
of these colored men. My old partner
here, Jake Kilrain, beat the best nepro
those days. George Godfrey, so what'.
! trie use or discussing tnem seriously?
"As for Jeffries, I do not believe he
will ever fight again. I am of this opin
ion because I do not think he can ever
get into condition. It Is impossible to
come back Into fighting condition after
an absence of four years, and especially
if a man has gone the pace like Jeff has.
No, I don't believe that he will ever
fight Jack Johnson or any one else."
John L. was pressed for an opinion
as who would be likely to take the
measure of the colored man who now
claims the title, and replied: "Some of
these days there will be a clever youiK?
fellow with grit and endurance enough
to tap this black boy, and when he gets
tapped, he'll get It hard, and the bout
won't last very long either."
Jake Kilrain, who is far from being a
talkative chap, merely contenled him
self with nodding approval to the utter
ances of Sullivan. lie does not hold a
very high regard for any of the present
day scrappers or their money-grabbing
managers and promoters.
BIG SOCCER TEAMS. CLASH
SCOTCH AND KVGLrlSH SETTLE
DIFFEltEXOES TOO AY.
Great Interest Evinced In Interna
tional Game on Multnomah Field
This Afternoon.
How the real daddies of the game play
association football will be seen for the
last time this season on Multnomah Field
this afternoon, when Scotch and English
get their yearly chance to decide soccer
supremacy and, often, to settle national
differences. Both have well-balanced elev
ens,, but the English found yesterday
they could not count on Jago, and this
weakened their back division to a degree
where the odds went considerably in
favor of the Scotch. Mitchell, Jago's
substitute, is a heavy and often effective
player, however.
Because they are playing for their
countries, the Scotch and English soccer
men put peculiar energy into the Inter
national event, which has been the prin
cipal local topic among the races for ten
days. This year the English have been
particularly keen to win because their
rivals took the trophy last year and the
year before. The feeling along the side
lines Is usually quite a revelation to
Americans who do not understand the
Importance attached "by the Britishers to
a victory for their respective Bides. Dire
silence prevails when the Scotch are be
hind, broken only by occasional calls of
encouragement In broad dialect. The
English are more prone to vocal boosting
when their men flag.
The English are putting up a fine team
lor the "international" 1009 chamnlon
ship and members of the Scotch soccer
committee will have the time of their
lives to get a line-up that will make as
satisfactory showing as that made publlo
by the Englishmen. They have decided
to bring McKay from "White Salmon to
strengthen the half-line, and if Rob
ertson nas recovered from his Injuries

FIRST AUTOMOBILE
"V
"-
CONSTRUCTED BV W. S. HItllAHIJS. OK ALBANY.
ALBANY. Or.. March 11. (Special.) In connection with the big
Automobile Show now in progress in Portland, it Is Interesting to
note that the first automobile ever built In Oregon is yet in existence
in this city. It was built in 1901 by "W. S. Richards, superintendent
of the chair factory of R. Veal & Son. in Albany, and in the accom
panying photo Mr. and Mrs. Richards are shown sitting In the machine.
The automobile was built entirely In Albany, and. though small,
it traveled successfully. It contained a 3 4 -horsepower engine when
first constructed and traveled 12 miles an hour. Its power was later
increased. s
and lanes left the only available spaces
where human beings might congregate
filled almost to suffocation. It was a
representative gathering of the repre
sentative people of Portland, and all were
there to pay homage to the automobile
as the recently Installed and extraordi
nary popular means of transportation.
The Portland Automobile Club has been
extremely proud of the success of the
earlier nights of the show, but it must
be said that last night's assemblage sur
passed all expectations for any one night.
It was a gala occasion and a gala crowd.
Many of the gowns worn by the women
were most beautiful in texture as well
as in design. The many handsome dis
plays came in for much praise, and it is
safe to assume that the society night
sales, as well as prospective sales, ex
ceeded all previous deals recorded.
The decorations at the show hall were
enhanced by many additional features
prepared especially for this night, while
the orchestra dispensed a specially pre
pared musical programme.
Landaulet Is Popnlar.
Considerable admiration was expressed
for Mrs. I. N. Flelschner's splendidly
equipped Packard landaulet. This car
proved the center of attraction for an
admiring throng of auto show visitors
during the entire evening. Harry L.
Keats, president of the Harry L. Keats
Auto Company, and Sales Agent C. H.
King were very busy men, indeed, ex
plaining the merits of the numerous cars
this concern has on display, and a newly
added attraction to their exhibit. the
seven-passenger Pope-Hartford touring
car, came in for especial attention. T. B.
Wilcox has become listed among the own
ers of new Packard "30" cars, and yes
terday the vehicle ordered by him was
delivered. One of these cars attracted
a great deal of attention at the show
last night.
Sales Manager King, of the Keats Com
pany, while expressing himself as de
lighted with the success of the auto show,
took occasion to call attention to the
hill-cllmblng proclivities of the little
Bulck car.
"The Bulck Is as good a hill-climber as
any car I know of." said Mr. King last
night. "This little fellow has frequently
beaten the Packard and Pope-Hartford,
which are the best hill-climbers among
the larger cars, in regularly arranged
contests. I am heartily in accord with
Mr. Therkelsen's proposed hlll-cllmblng
contest, and you can depend upon the
Harry L. Keats Company to be well
represented when that contest takes
place. I am pinning my faith to the
Bulck and am anxious to see If my
predictions will come true."
Wlnton Has Fine Display.
Another exhibit that proved most at
tractive to the large assemblage of so
ciety people present was the tastefully
decorated booth of the Wlnton .Six. Em
mett Harris, Portland agent for this car,
took a keen delight In displaying the
self-starting apparatus of the Wlnton
car. The Wlnton booth Is decorated with
a number of valuable Navajo Indian
blankets, a portion of the splendid col
lection owned by Mr. Harris, who Is an
enthusiastic collector of Indian relics.
The White Steam car exhibit continues
to attract considerable attention. The
agency for this car has recorded a num
ber of sales, which promises to equal
the show record. .
Their orders up to last night totaled
29 cars, representing a business of about
$92,000. which Is most remarkable for
Portland, and considering the fact that
It is the only steam machine among near
ly 100 of gasoline motive power.
The big eeven-ipassenger White, finished
in white with gold trimmings, which has
attracted so much attention on account
of Its luxurious appearance and because
President Taft bought one like it, was
sold yesterday afternoon and mnde the
29th order. Gustave Frelwald, formerly
of Vancouver, but now a resident of this
city, is the purchaser.
Mr. Brackett. a wealthy Walla Walla
resident, arrived at the show last night.
and: being the owner of a 40-horsepower
White, was naturally elated over the suc
cess of the steam car at the show. Mr.
Brackett saya that in about two months
he will drive his machine overland to
New Tork.
"Why, that little fellow isn't driving
that car!" "How could such a baby!"
I believe someone Is controlling H. from
under cover!", and .exclamations of sim
ilar kind were heard about the White
exhibit all evening. A 4-year-old lad was
the cause of all this hubbub and excite
ment. John Kelly thought he would cele
brate last night by demonstrating to the
society folk how easy and simple is the
operation of a "White steam car, and he
succeeded In a most novel and convinc
ing way. The specially designed road
ster was placed inside a railing and lits
youngster drove It back and forth, slifft
ing the reverse gear and opening and
closing the throttle just as nice as you
please.
Coape Makes Big Hit.
Gustavo Friowald, of Vancouver, Wash.,
who Is listed as a purchaser of a White
steam ?r, also purchased a Studebaker
electric coupe for the use of his wife and
family. The coupe Is a very natty little
vehicle and has attracted a great deal
of attention during the show. A feature"
of the coupe is that It is entirely enclosed
and can be driven in any kind of weather
wMth the driver perfectly protected from
the elements. In nice weather the car
can be thrown open, which adds to Its
convenience. It Is an ideal car for wom
en to vm for shopping purposes. Benage
S. Josselyn. president of the Portland
Railway, Light & Power Company, also
purchased one of the Studebaker electric
coupes for Miss Josselyn. It promises to
be a popular car for women. The Btude-

The Cadillac and Pierce Great Arrow

mar cars on exhibit at the show. Howard
M Covey, Portland agent for the two
vehicles, was one of the happiest dealers
at the show. He closed several high-
class sales last night, which brought his
total business during the show up to a
most respectable figure, and he could af-

Jeffries also took exception to the

This offer of a $50,000 nurse doesn't
look very attractive." he said. "How

Mr. Mcintosh said today thnt he would
be satisfied for the contest to take place
either In Lngland, Franco or Australia,
but preferred Knsland. He said his sole
purpose In coming here was to see Jef

Johnson.
"I am satisfied that Jeffries can be
trained and" brought Into fit condition
for the fight," said Mcintosh. "For him
to enter the ring with Johnson wlthou
being In the best of condition, however,
would be extremely foolish, for Johnson
Is a wonderful fighter. There Is no man
living who can beat Johnson without be
ing in the best of condition, and whethe
he can be beaten at all now remains to
be seen. It was hard work to get Jef

years old. It will, therefore, be an ex
tremely hard matter now, but I am pret
ty certain that it can be done."
Mcintosh Eaid he wanted to arrange
for the fight to take place within six
months. He added that It Jeffries could
be got Into fighting condition at all, the
work of making him fit could be done in
six months.

DICK BREEX PROVES VALUABLE
ACQUISITION'.
Xctv Second Baseman Regarded as
Good Substitute for Pearl Ca
sey by Team Managers.
SAN LITIS OBISPO. Cal.. March 12.
(Special.) Dick Breen, Portland's new
second baseman, was In uniform this
morning, and although ho was sick with
a cold, and travel-tired, he showrd up In
good form. Breen handles himself like
baseball player who known his busi
ness. In filling Pearl Casey s shoes he
has hta work cut out for him. and his
work around second will be watched with
Interest by the fans, especially those who
feel that the McCredie Coast League team
will be weak without the old second
baseman.
Breen is very fast on his feet, and he
has a fine throwing arm. He may fall
short of the lnulde ball that Casey Is
noted for, but when It comes to this
department of the game, inside baseball,
the Caseys are few and far between: so
If Breen covers the bag and plays good
ball McCredie will be satisfied. What
promises well for Breen ns a player Is
the fact that Cleveland had him for two
years. There never was a chance for
him to succeed ijoie. Dut sun they
thought enough of Breen to keep him
where they could put a hand on him in
case they needed him.
Sam Ferraris also worked out today.
He was not called upon to cut them
loose, hut his arm. which rumor had It
had gone wrong, seemed to be all right.
