SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 24. (Special)
Portland and San Francisco broke even
on their last two games today, the Seals
winning in the morning. 4 to L and the
Beavers in the afternoon. I to 1
San Francisco, however, won four and
tied another of the seven during the
week.
In the afternoon Seaton pitched eight
Innings for the Beavers, and although he
was taken out In what looked like a tight
hole, nevertheless he Is given full credit
tor the winning. Browning went through
the entire nine Innings, and with a little
more hitting luck might have turned the
tables in his favor. As early as the sec
end inning the Seals had their first
chance to do some scoring, for Miller
singled. Melchior walked and Tcnnant
was safe on a flelder'a choice the bases
full and no one down. Then Nick Will
iams lifted a fly to Speas and Miller
was doubled out at the plate. McArdle
Was hit, but Browning grounded out.
First Score in Fifth.
The scoring did not happen until' the
fifth, an Inning in which each team se
cured a run. Speas opened for the
Northerners with a single to short and
stole second. Seaton lifted a tall fly that
fell to Browning, but the latter on a
wild peg to second advanced Speas to
third, the runner scoring when McArdle
allowed Cooney's grounder to go between
his legs.
For the Seals, Mundorft was the hero.
There were two out when Davis drew a
pass and came all the way around on
Uundle's two-bagger that hit the right
field fence. ,
Seaton Cuts Third.
The eighth was also an Inning of scor
ing for the Beavers, when Graney sin
gled Into left, was sacrificed to second
and tallied on McCredie's double into
right. By rights Portland should have
added another run In the last Inning, but
Beaton cut out third when he was run
ning on Cooney's two-sacker and was
out. Graney, who worked in the morn
ing, had little or no control and a couple
of walks with four hits gave the Seals
four runs in the first inning and prac
tically cinched the ame. Rex Ames got
away with a nice game of ball, allowing
but four hits and only one run. That
tally came in the last inning, when John
son walked and MeCredle singled. Fisher
forced MeCredle, but advanced Johnson
and the third baseman completed the
circuit on a wild pitch. Tbe scores:

NEGRO MAKES TOO
MUCH NOISE-JEFF
Big Man Has Personal Animos
ity for Johnson and
Means Business.
CONDITION IS EXCELLENT
Has Been Training Hard Abroad
and Is Anxious to Get Chance at'
Fpstart Champion Says That
White Should Have Belt.
NEW YORK, Oct. 24. 'While the
sporting public awaits the contract for
malities and the selection of a place
for the battle, discussion of the rela
tive merits of James J. Jeffries and
Jack Johnson goes on unabated.
The Jeff-Johnson bout gives strong
early rromise of eclipsing in Impor
tance any fight in the history of the
ring, for it lends itself to every angle
of sporting Interest and variety of
speculation.
Jeffries' dislike for Johnson Is well
known, and It will be business with
the retired champion the moment he
climbs through the ropes.
Johnson once knocked out Jack Jef
fries, a brother of Jim, and this, added
to the fact that Johnson brought Jef
fries out of his retirement when he was
happy in the thought that he was
through with fighting, has not served
to increase any good will of Jeffries
toward Johnson.
Jcfrs Condition Good.
That Jeffries' condition is excellent
is apparent to those who have met him
since his return from Europe. The big
fellow has trained zealously while
abroad, but it is still a question
whether he has the hitting power that
put out Fitzslmmons and Corbett. Four
years of Idleness must be taken into
consideration, but if Jeff can show
anything of the form he.dislayed in his
last fight with Corbett, his friends
maintain he will again be champion.
"I never went into the ring but once
with a hard feeling toward the other
fellow," said Jeffries tonight. "That
was Munroe. And he went out in two
rounds. This Johnson has been mak
ing too much noise, and I think a white
man should be champion anyway, so
you can figure out what is going to
happen to him."
Johnson Unknown Quantity.
Johnson has proved himself to be a
marvelous defensive fighter, and when
he saw good openings he has shown
flashes of punching power. Having
never been fully extended, he will be
an unknown quantity that will have to
be solved in sizing up his chances with
Jeffries.
Johnson is younger than Jeffries, and
is in his prime.
George Little, Johnson's manager, is
expected In this city tomorrow night,
and articles will soon follow. James
Coffroth, the fight promoter, of Colma,
Cal.. will reach here with Little, and
It is predicted he will succeed In cap
turing the battle for San Francisco.
FATHER OF . JEFFRIES TALKS
Says nis Son Will Never Fight
Negro or Anyone Else.
CANNONSBURG, Pa., Oct. 24. That
James J. Jeffries and Jack Johnson
will never meet in the fistic arena is
indicated by an interview made public
today between the Bev. J. M. Work,
pastor of the Central Presbyterian
Church, of this city, and Rev. J. H.
Jeffries, father of the undefeated
heavyweight pugilist, who is visiting
friends here.
Mr. Jeffries, who is a minister of the
Presbyterian Church and whose home
is in Los Angeles, was asked his opin
ion concerning his son's career as a
prizefighter.
Mr. Jeffries ts reported to have said:'
"Life is all one big fight, one' way
or another, and it might as well be
prizefighting as any other kind of a
fight."
When asked as to whether his son
would fight Johnson in the near fu
ture, Mr. Jeffries Is said to have
stated:
"My son will never fight a negro,
and I don't think ho will fight any
other person again during his life."
BATTLER IS UNDECIDED
WANTS MONET, BCT IS HE WILL

Punishment Certain in Proposed 45
Round Go With Wolgast, While
Theater Work Is Easy.
LOS ANGELES, CaL, Oct. 24. SpeciaL)
Battling Nelson is trylnsT to decide
whether or not he wants a fight with Ad
Wolgast. The Battler's hesitancy over
his decision has aroused the local fight
fans and caused the belief that Bat is
leery of getting a worse pounding in the
45 rounds the proposed fight is scheduled
to go than he got when he went against
Ad in the ten-round go tha pair had re
cently. The fact of the matter la, B. Nelson is
after the money, and it is a question with
him whether he will pick it easy in a
23-week theatrical tour or get it with
more difficulty by meeting Woltrast. To
rln.t the fighter has given no hint of his
ultimate decision to Tom McCarey, hut
the prospect for the Thanksgiving bout
is considered very slim in local lanaom.
STARS AND THEIR MEANING
Writer Muses on Color and Names
of Starry Bodies.
PORTLAND. Oct. 24. (To the Ed
itor.) Tue opinion is often expressed
that the stars appear in mmum tuuU.
i... '..n,Kr As a matter Of fact.
the total visible to the naked eye is
.hmit nnn n.nd less than one-
third of these are visible at any one
time in the Willamette vauey. a very
small amount of haze greatly reduces
this number, particularly in Oregon,
I west of the tascao.es.
On the' brightest nignt on loudcii
Crest, in the month of July, less than
2000 stars are visible, and these only
of the sixth or greatest magnitude.
Possibly it is a little better at Eu
rn np Aahland. Most of the stars
ftnnnsr to UA u white, although if
some of them are steadily and Intently
looked at with the naked eye for a
considerable period of time they will
appear to be tinned with color. One
will anoear srreenlsh-white, another
yellowish-white, another reddish-white
and still another orange-white. in
every case the white predominates to
such an extent that it is only a tinge
of the other color perceived.
Differences of opinion exist as to
the causes of these differences in color,
but they arei most likely the result of
differences in temperature and the
chemical composition of the stars
themselves. The starry heaven has
been surveyed and mapped with great
est care into constellations" or groups
of stirs. When and where this was
originally done are questions which
have received a great deal of attention
and study.
These constellations are all named,
many of them having the names of
animals and birds, such as eagle, ram,
dog, goat, whale, dove, crow, swan,
dolphin, dragon, bear, Hon, crane, liz
ard, orion (which means a giant man),
wolf, lynx and many others. This
mapping out of the heavens and nam
ing the constellations was practically
complete, as we now have it 3000 years
before Christ.
The originators of the constellations,
it is thought, naturally portrayed the
things with which they were familiar,
and it is noticeable that the elephant,
came), tiger and crocodile are not
represented. Does .this mean that In
dia and Egypt, where these animals
were common, are to be excluded as
possible places of origin? Were these
countries and peoples without astron
omers? t
Most likely so, for evidence goes to
show that the constellations originated
in the Euphrates Valley, where Abra
ham was found called forth by the
Almighty God to be the father of the
faithful. C. E. CLINE.

Hall, Former Seattle Tlayer, Lasts

SPOKANE, Oct. 24. The Philadelphia
Athletics defeated the National All-Stars
here today before a crowd that was a
surprise, to the promoters, the paid admis.
sions exceeding 4000. .
Charley Hall, the old Seattle Coast
League player, pitched for six innings,
but weakened toward the close. Hall had
pitched only Friday at Billings. Coombs
was effective with runners on bases. The
heavy field made ground balls difficult
to Judge. Donahue was off in throwing
to bases for the Athletics.
A running catch and double play by
Doyle was a feature, although Strunk,
Oidrlng. Konetehy and C. Hall pulled off
clever stunts. Harry Davis and Konetehy
hit the ball hard. Vic Holm, Spokane's
leading pitcher during the past North

Saturday by Peter Buzukos. He says
he will weigh 135 pounds and meet

DAD GIVES HIS CONSENT
Promises Chicken Dinner to Son and
His Bride.
VANCOUVER, ' Wash., Oct. 24. (Spe
cial.) The city auditor, who makes out
the marriage license in this county, re
ceives many kinds and forms of written
consent from parents who do not oppose
their son or daughter's marriage, if they
happen to be under age. But one came
in yesterday which caps the climax.
Charles Bayburn wrote to his son:
"Dear Son: Hain't you quite young to
get married, if you don't think so, all
right. Well, you can have my consent
to get married if you want to, I won't
say a word. It is your business, not
mine. I want you and your wife to come
up and see us. We want to see how you
both look. We will fatten the cat. kill
the old rooster, and we will fry a young
chicken for both of you."
The license was granted to Charles Lee
Rayburn. aged 20 years, and Delia Lu
cretia Johnson, aged 18 years. This con
sent, taken from the letter, covered two
pages. The auditor fastened them to
gether with staples, and filed them in the
marriage license record book.
GLEAN BOUTS ARE
CLUBS' PROMISE
Stopping of Matches by

Not Opposed. '
FIRST BIG CARD THURSDAY
Rose City and Oregon Pastime Or
ganizations to Give Sparring Ex
hibitions Only, Say Officials.
Pugs Are In Good Trim.
BY W. 3. PETRAIN.
The Rose City Athletic Club proposes
to stage a boxing exhibition next Thurs
day night between some of the cleverest
men on the Coast, and shortly after that
date the Oregon Pastime Club plans to
give a similar entertainment. Some
Imagine the coming show is to be on a
plane with bouts pulled off here in the
davs when prizefighting was permitted.
Officials of the Rose City Club say no,
and gladly welcome the passing of judg
ment on the programme by the Municipal
League. -
According to officials of the Rose" City
Club, those of the. Oregon Pastime Club
concurring, the matches scheduled for
Thursday night and later dates, are to
be exhibition bouts In which the cleverest
men obtainable are to go on and display
the fine points of the boxing art. The
committee from the Municipal League
will be given ringside seats by the club
officials, and if anything brutal or ob
jectionable is seen in the bouts, no objec
tion will be offered to the power invested
in the league committee by the Mayor to
etop the bouts.
Kid Harrison, who is working out at
an East Side club, and Kid, Scaler, who
is delighting a bunch of sports with his
athletic stunts at Tommy Tracy's gym,
are clever men and can be depended upon
to give an interesting exhibition.
Chester Brown, or Fred Brooks, as he
is known in fistic circles, has improved
greatly since his last appearance in Port
land when he won the championship of
the Pacific Coast at the amateur tourna
ment held here last Spring. He is pro
grammed to give an exhibition turn with
Jack O'Keefe, a Denver man, who is
rated a very clever boxer. All the boys
seem to be in fine shape. As each has
one or more matches in view in Cali
fornia, all are keeping themselves in good
shape by working out In Portland.
Philadelphia, that staid old Quaker
town, is the boxing center of the East,
and probably has more boxing clubs than
any city in the world outside of London.
Scarcely a night passes but that bouts of
Interest are pulled off there, and some
times these matches are quite, exciting
and more or less rough. However, in
commenting on the merits or demerits
attached to the boxing game, R. H.
Kain, contributor to the Philadelphia
Record, has the following to say:
Down in Chester the saloonkeepers
still have pull enough to prevent any
boxing bouts being held, as they have
shown the authorities of that delightful
little town that If the boxing shows
were permitted their business would be
ruined. In other places throughout the
state, however, the sport is increasing
in popular favor. Pittsburg is taking
to it like a duck to the water, and in
several other places in the western part
of the state the sport is flourishing.
The sure thing gamblers who used to
control it, and through whose dirty
work it was put under the ban, have
dropped out of sight and now that the
sporting public has come to recognize
that the proper way to run the contests
is to have no decisions, and thus free
It from betting, there has been no fur
ther trouble. In the eastern part of the
state also there has been a big boom
in boxing this Fall. In Scranton,
Wilkes Barre, Willlamsport, Allentown,
Bethlehem, Reading, Lancaster, York,
Hazleton, Shamokin, Pottsvllle and
other towns they are having boxing
bouts regularly, In all of these places
the contests are conducted on the same
plan as they are in Philadelphia. Some
have six-round bouts, while in others 10,
12 and 15-round affairs are held. Of
course no decisions are given, and the
spectators are allowed, to judge for them
selves who .had the best of the fistic
argument. In all these places the bouts
are well patronized and there Is little
doubt that they will continue to be as
long as they are properly conducted. One
effect of the opening up of the fcoxlng In
these towns has been noticed, and that is
that the patronage of the saloons has
fallen off considerably. Many men who
patronize the boxing bouts would be In
saloons or worse places, if they were not
at the boxing shows. So far the saloon
element does not seem to have had power
enough to put the ban on boxing, al
though In more than one place they have
expressed a desire to do so.
"Molly" McDonald, the veteran trainer
in Portland with Jack O'Keefe and "Kid"
Scaler, told a good yarn on Tom Sharkey
the other day. It seems that Sharkey
cannot read or write, and after having
sent his brother back to Ireland because
the youngster was inclined to tread the
primrose path too much to suit Tom, he
one day received a letter from the young
ster after he had reached home.
Sharkey very mysteriously summoned a
young fellow who was a hanger-on at
Tom's Joywater dispensary, and taking
him to a back room told the lad he
wanted him to read a letter. Just before
handing over the missive, Sharkey pro
duced two pieces of cotton and command
ing the lad to place them in his ears,
he ordered him to read the letter aloud.
McDonald swears the story is true, and
some present who knew the sailor vouched
for its authenticity.
The Municipal Association has not yet
decided on whom they, will send to the
Rose City Athletic Club's smoker Thurs
day night, but will most likely depend
upon a committee. This delegate, or com
mittee of delegates, will be empowered
by Mayor Simon with authority to stop
the bouts if they find anything objec
tionable in tbe affairs.
The directors of the Rose City Club
announce that they will provide the best
seats in the house for the delegates from
the Municipal Association, and will offer
them a glad hand.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, July 28, 1909.
John J. Fulton Company
Gentlemen: I thank you for your
telegram to me at Pniladelphia with
address of Philadelphia agent. Three
years ago last December I was taken
down with Brigtifs Disease. I am
a graduated physlc'an and I visited
many of the finest specialists in the
United States and received the same
answer from all of them, to the effect
that the profession knew nothing that
would cure Bright's Disease. Most of
them were candid enough to say that
I would not live long and I was ad
vised . to go to Excelsior Springs, Mo.
I consulted the physician there, who
said if he was in my place he would
try your Renal Compound, and from
that day to this I have never missed
taking it three times a day, and dur
ing two years of the time I took it
four times a day.
I am glad to say that my last three
analyses have shown no albumen and
during the past year I have done more
hard mental work than I had done
altogether in the five years previously.
I am enclosing you a check for three
dozen Renal, which I shall turn over
to a drug store for people whom I
know will be benefited by it. I pre
sume I am inown by as many drug
gists in the United States, especially
ln the South and West, as any man
in it, and if you desire a certificate
from me which will do you some good
I will send It to you with such addi
tions to the above as may occur to me
at the time of writing. Yours very
truly, C. F. SIMMONS.
In view of letters like the above
from physicians, how in the name of
conscience can their brother physicians
keep kidney cases on the orthodox
treatment (Nitro Glycerine, Digitalis,
Basham's Mixture, etc.), under which
the death of the patient is certain
when recoveries ln these hitherto in
curable diseases are being made all
over the country. People having kid
ney disease, or having friends, who have
can have full literature mailed them by
addressing the John J. Fulton Company,
No. 212 First street, San Francisco.
Fulton's Renal Compound is the spe
cific used and can be had at drug
gists. We desire to hear from and
advise with those not recovering by the
third week of the treatment.
