Rickard Talks Back.
In reply to Johnny Herget's statement
from San Francisco Tuesday night that
Rickard's application for a permit for the
Kght there would not be considered, but
that Gleason can have a permit if he
can show that he Is the controlling spirit,
Rickard said:
"Herget's not talking about our fight.
If Herget Is going to grant any permits
for fights, he himself will have to do
part of the fighting in them. There need
not be any worry in Frisco about my
making an application for a fight there.
The Jeffries-Johnson contest will be held
here If the people want It and there won't
be any need of a permit there."
G LEA SOX IS STILL CONFIDENT
Jeff Counted on to Insist on Battle
In San Francisco. 1
SAN FRANiCXSCO. Jan. 19. (Special.)
After all the charges and counter-charges
that have passed between Tex Rickard
and Jack Gleason. as regards the handling
of the Jeffries-Johnson fight, it is under
stood that nothing will be settled until
the arrival of James J. Jeffries, who with
his party will reach San Francisco about
February 10. Gleason stands pat on his
original statement that it was agreed
he was to name the location for the fight.
He points out that Jeffries has already
backed him up and further says that
when the big fellow reaches the Coast
he will speedily knock in the head the
Rickard scheme to hold the tight in Salt
Lake.
San Franciscans Are Confident.
Although it is admitted that the situa
tion is considerably muddled, San Fran
cisco people who are anxious to see the
fight held here believe that it will take
place inside the city limits. According
to a letter received from Sam Berger,
Jeffries has set his mind on fighting in
San Francisco or there will be no fight.
If he sticks to "this determination there
will be nothing for Johnson and Rickard
to do but give in.
There will be no trouble to secure a
special permit for a 4&-round fight in San
Francisco, according to a statement is
sued today by the city administration.
Gleason will not receive the permit in!
his name, but he will be allowed to com
bine with one of the three promoters
who will be in the field, and it is thought
that he will associate himself with
Cof froth.
Rickard Called Welcher.
"In spite of all that Rickard has said,"
declared Gleason, "I still insist that the
fight Is to be held in San Francisco.
Rickard knows that I was to name the
fight location and if he says anything
else he is a welcher. If he has cold feet
and doesn't want to go through with his
contract I will take it off his hands. It's
all nonsense to think that the fighters
would take any chances with the law in
terfering and spoiling the moving pic
tures. I am willing to leave it to the
fighters and know that when v Jeffries
reaches here it will be settled in five min
utes. Rickard has been doing too much
talking for the good of the fight."

Jut on by the Portland Social Turn
Verein at the. Bungalow Theater. The
event is not intended to be a money-

Turn Vehein is doing and to illustrate all
branches of the German system of
physical culture.
Last year the exhibition was given in
the Turn Verein gymnasium, at Fourth
and Yamhill streets, and several hundred
people had to be turned away. This time
a much larger crowd can be accommo
dated in the spacious Bungalow Theater,
although more than a full house is ex

One of the features will be an exhibi
tion by the horizontal bar class, which
took first prize at the A. Y.- P. fair last
Summer. eighteen elaborate numbers
will be given, including Beveral features
which have never before been seen in
Portland. One of the best numbers will
be an exhibition by 48 young ladies,
showing exercises which develop every
muscle in the body.
Mayor Simon, in response to an Invita
tion, said Tuesday he would attend 'the
exhibition and it is expected also that

JAVELIN TO REPLACE HAMMER
North-west Colleges May Add Two
Mile Run to Track List.
WALLA WALLA, Wash., Jan. 1,9.
That the "bix six" colleges in the
Northwest athletic conference will abol
ish the hammer throw, substituting
in Its stead the Javelin throw in future
field meets, and that the two-mile run
will be added to the list of track events,
is probable, according to Whitman Col
lege athletic authorities, who are fa
vorable to the proposed action.
A proposal to substitute the Javelin
throw in conference meets for the 16
pound hammer throw has been received
here from Victor Zednick, of the ath
letic board of the University of Wash
ington. - Danger to spectators whenever the
16-pound missile is thrown, through in
ability of teh athlete to control the di
rection of his throw. Is assigned as
cause for the desire to abolish the
event.
The proposition will come up for set
tlement at a meeting of representatives
of the six schools in Portland Feb
ruary 5. '

Jack Curley seems to have put a crimp
in the much-heralded aspirations of San

manager, George Little, do not fall all
over themselves in sanctioning the Bay
City. Curley voices Jeff's sentiments
and Jeff cannot be said to have backe3
up Jack Gleason very strongly at aiy
time. The main idea is to have the fight
come off the place does not cut any fig
ure. The Trt-City League, is enjoying many
visions of prosperity, for the absence of
the Northwestern League from Portland
will give the minor aggregation a chance
to use the professional grounds in. the
absence of McC'redie's balltossers.
.
Walter McCredie last night announced
that he would await the return of Presi
dent Lucas to Portland before he made
any disposition of the ballplayers be
longing to the Portland team of the
Northwestern League. Mac believes that
he can dispose of some players to the
Northwestern magnate, despite the dis
banding of the Aberdeen team, and the
cutting of the league to four teams.

01O NEARLY OUT
'Confessor' Gets Awful Pound
ing From Kaufman.
GONG ALONE SAVES HIM
Quaker City Man Chased Around
Ring and Hoisted Off Feet With.
Californian's Fist Both. Men
Bleeding at the Close.
PHILADELPHIA. Jan. 19. Jack
O'Brien's ring generalship saved him
tonight from a terriffic beating and a
possible knockout at the hands of Al
Kaufman, of San Francisco, in a six
round bout before the National Ath
letic Club.
At the close of the fight both men
were bleeding from nose and mouth
and O'Brien had a badly swollen eye.
Kaufman, - however, was in far better
condition than the Phlladelphlan.
Kaufman was a trifle too anxious or
he might have defeated O'Brien.
Kaufman Rushes O'Brien. '
When the bell rang for the opening,
the men rushed to a clinch and in the
breakaway O'Brien sent two straight
lefts to the nose. Kaufman rushed his
opponent around the ring, but O'Brien
would stop suddenly and jolt a hard
right or left to the face. In the sec
ond round Kaufman drove his right
under O'Brien's Heart and crossed a left
to the Jaw, causing Jack to clinch.
Refreshed by the minute's rest,
O'Brien had all the best of the third
round. His exertions weakened him,
however, and, had it not been for his
clinching In . the fourth round, he
probably would have been knocke out.
About the middle of this round Kauf
man drove a right to the wind and
hooked a vicious left to the chin.
O'Brien dropped to his knees. When
he arose, he rushed to a clinch. His
clever footwork saved him.
O'Brien Almost Knocked Out.
In the fifth and sixth rounds O'Brien
would not allow the Californian to get
set. The Phlladelphlan would Jab his
left to-the nose in the breakaway be
fore Kaufman could land with effect.
In the middle of the sixth round
Kaufman caught O'Brien coming in and
almost lifted him off his feet with a
right uppercut. O'Brien clinched and
saved himself..
It is doubtful whether O'Brien could
have lasted another round.
Kaufman gave his weight at 195;
O'Brien said he weighed 185.

O'Brien-West and Edvrards-Long
Matches Promise Good. Sport
' Before Oregon Club.
BY W. J. PETRAIN.
Louie Long refrained ' from training
yesterday afternoon and Gene West, who
has been working out with him at Tommy
Tracey's- gym, did not care to engage in
boxing and contented himself with bag
punching and the like for 15 minutes,
much to the disappointment of the fans.
It was the same way at the policemen's
gym. Ned Whitman and Danny O'Brien,
who had been working out there, discon
tinued their exercises yesterday and con
tented themselves with light road work
to perfect their wind.
O'Brien is scheduled to meet his old
time rival. Gene West, before the Oregon
Athletic Club tonight. The West
O'Brien bout, although not the main
event on the programme. Is exciting
enough interest to be placed on a par
with the Long-Edwards go, which has
top-line position in the advertisements of
the show. It is safe to assume, at least
from a local standpoint, that O'Brien and
West will .prove as good drawing cards as
Edwards and Long,
The match between Ned Whitman and
Tommy Hennessy is attracting attention
also. Whitman i a resident of Portland
and has made friends, who have volun
teered to back him against any of the
lightweights of the present day. Whit
man is better known in fistic circles as
the champion of Western Canada, though
he has won battles in and about Winni
peg and Ontario.
The six-round bout between Lou Hub
bard and Dick Rhoades, both colored,
promises to be one of the most exciting
preliminaries of the season, yhe Ex
position rink is being heated for the oc
casion. The Oregon Athletic Club an
nounces that all persons holding coupons
will have the seats called for. An effort
will be made to prevent the confusion
that has occurred at previous matches.
HANDBALL TOURNEY PLANNED

J. H. Mackenzie and A. H. S. Haffen

lows: Ray Watklns and W. K. Post;

HUSBAND HASTENED DEATH
Disease Kills Woman, Coroner's
Jury Blames Spouse, Too.
CHEHALIS. Wash.. Jan. l.-(Special )
A coroner's Jury which today investi
gated the death of Mrs. Ida Messner, who
died here yesterday, found that her death
was caused by Addison's disease, and
was probably hastened by brutal treat
ment of her by her husband, Charles
Messner.
Messner is In jail and will be prose
cuted for wife-beating. The evidence
showed that he had maltreated tha
woman at Christmas time while he was
beastly drunk.
The jury in the case of T. M. Black
against the Doty Lumber & Shingle Com
pany for personal Injuries resulted today
in a victory for the defense. Black sued
