FIGHTER RUNS NINE MILES Kirot Road Work of Training So Strenuous That Trainers Fear Champion May Overwork and Become Stale Before July. BY HAKRY B. SMITH. JEFFRIES' TRA1XINQ CAAIP, Rowar dennan, Cal., April 7. (Special.) In the same ring that Jack Johnson used at Cave Cockrlll'a Emeryville quarters to get into shape tor his match with Stanley Ketchel. James J, Jeffries will do his first boxing tomorrow afternoon at Kowar dennan. It was a trick of fate, perhaps, that the white man Is to have the same ap paratus that was used by the present heavyweight champion of the world, but it hae been taken as an omen of good luck by the men in the camp staff. The ring, of course. Is like all other rings, but now that it has been estab lished in the new gymnasium, it makes the camp look more business-like and as if work was to be done In real earnest. It was brought here and erected In the middle of what was formerly a large dancehall. The stand for the punchlng- , bag Is In one corner, while the pulleys and the like are scattered around the walls. Itough-and-Tumble Fight Expected. The ring is not more than 17 feet - square inside the ' ropes, although it -.'measures 20 feet from post to post. The J difference In size will hardly make any rt difference, however, in the work done by '"the big fellow, for If reports are true, Z.". he intends to prepare for a bruising fight and a rough-and-tumble affair from the HHr Mart. The boxing today will probably consist J of three rounds with Bob Armstrong, - who Is at present the only sparring part ZZ' ner In the camp. It was thought that Sam Berger would spar with Jeffries on the opening day. but the manager de clares that he will not don the gloves 7 unless he is in condition, and that it will be a week or ten days before he will be fit. Berger is altogether too heavy to stand much of the kind of boxing that - Jeffries will do. However, tomorrow afternoon promises to be a red-letter day and a number of ,.J visitors are expected. Thereafter. Jeffries will box every afternoon, increasing daily the amount of sparring. He will not drop entirely his handball, however, as he Is particularly addicted to that sport as a means of getting into condition. Today, the third that Jeffries has ; spent in camp, was - featured by his ' first road work, several hard games of handball and the graclousness with which he posed for a few fighting pic tures, sparring with Berger for that purpose; wrestling with Farmer Burns tand then standing before the camera - alone. It was the opportunity the pho ... tographers have been waiting for ever - since the Southern Callfornian arrived, and they worked at fever heat to get as many pictures as they could In the "rtime at their disposal. T Pictures Show Reduced Weight. For the pictures, Jeffries wore short black trunks and an armless shirt. It did not give a capital Idea, perhaps, of how he looks stripped, but it showed that he is well reduced in weight and that he is in excellent condition at this tage of the proceedings. The most important work of the day by far was his jaunt over the roads and the hills in the morning. The route chosen was over the county road to Boulder Creek and back by way of a hill trail, a distance of nine miles, a stiff Jaunt for the first day. Jef fries, however, stood it more than well. He took his followers along for a good run for the first mile, and settled down to a walk. Three miles of easy walk ing and Jeffries insisted upon another run of a quarter of a mile. On the return trip, much against the advice of Farmer Burns, Jeffries ran a half mile at the close of the Journey and finished as strong as a lion. He left Rowardennan at 6 oclock and was back long before 8, and having de veloped a hearty appetite, he did not wait for the rest of his party, but sat down at once to his breakfast. "Jeffries surprised me on the walk in." said Farmer Burns, in speaking of it afterward. "I knew that he was strong, but he had so much energy that 1 had trouble to keep- him down. He wanted to run all the way and could easily have gone five miles at a trot, but I wouldn't let him. There will be plenty of chance for him to run, and what he needs now is the steady grind that will put him into shape gradually." Baseball and handball playing con cluded the day's work. New Training Stunt Due. A new stunt has been planned for the first of next week. On Monday, if the weather is fine, the entire party, headed by Jeffries and his wife, will be taken to the Felton big tree grove where the ceremonies attendant upon naming one of the Redwoods will be gone through in honor of the lighter. All through the lnrlnsure at Felton, there are trees named for different men in the public eye. but it is a rule that unless these personages visit the grove, there will be no trees named after them.' The weather has been particularly good today for any kind of athletics In the open. The air has been warm and balmy, and old residents say that the rainy sea son is at an end. and from now until July. Jeffries will have all the warm weather that he wants. On the other hand, the ntghts are always cool. The fear of Jeffries' trainers that he will overwork and fnll stale before the fight Is shown In the new camp pro gramme which eliminates handball. A bit of early morning road work and a four xound boxing session with Armstrpng In the afternoon is the programme now laid down. - Berger will go to- Ban Francisco to morrow to buy an automobile for Jeffries. When the machine arrives in camp Jef fries will use it to travel to and from the ocean, where he expects to indulge in surf bathing. GUARDSMEN BOTTTS ARRANGED Armory Club, C. Y. M. C, Police and M.

The Oregon Athletic Club has select ed the date of the next smoker to be staged by that organization. On Thurs day, April 29, a fast card, while not entirely signed up yet, promises some high-class boxing bouts. The coming show will comprise one ten-round bout, a main event, and three six-round exhibitions as appetizers. Roscoe Taylor will appear in the main event if a suitable lad of his class can be signed up for the event. Negotia tions are now pending with several San Francisco scrappers who are rated as well as Taylor, and either one of them shoull give a good exhibition with the Seattle lad. Jockey Bennett is practically a cer tainty as a principal In one of the six round affairs, though In the event of a suitable man being secured for the main attraction the little chap may be put on in the windup with some grood lad in his division; Bennett .s well liked here, and has taken such a liking to Portland that he figures on locating here. SIX TEAMS ENTER RUN FIRST CROSS COIXTRY EVENT TO BE HELD TOMORROW". N'ew System of Scoring Finishers in 1 7-8 Miles Course Is Adopted by Schools. The first interscholastic cross-country run ever held In Portland will start to morrow morning at 10 o'clock. Teams of five each will be entered from Allen Pre paratory School, Washington High School, Lincoln High School, Jefferson High School, Portland Academy and Columbia University. The course over which the race will be run is about ITS miles In length. It starts at East Fortieth street and Sandy road, extends along Sandy road to Twen tieth street, thence down Gleason street to Thirteenth to a point directly behind the goal poses on old Portland Field. The finish will be on a lOu-yard straightaway. It was decided by the Interscholastic committee in a meeting held Wednesday night not to use the scoring system de vised several weeks, ago, but to adopt instead the system in vogue in the East. This provides that the first man in counts one point, the next two, and so on, every man entering being given points accord ing to the order in which he finishes. The school with thO least number of points wins the race. .Previously it had been decided to count only the first six men finishing, allowing them respectively 9. 6, 4, 3, 2 and 1 points, and considering the school obtaining the largest number of points the winner. The general opinion among the athletes of all the schools is that first place in the race will lie between Edwards, of Port land Acadeniy; Wlndnagle, of Washing ton High; Conway, of Columbia; Crabbe, of Allen Preparatory School, and Nash, of Lincoln High. Turk, of Lincoln High, is also considered a possibility as a first man. An exciting contest is looked for and large crowds of rooters from all the schools are expected to be on hand near the finish at East Thirteenth and East Davis streets. . The teams to be entered are as follows: Jefferson High School Glger. Johnson, MaKius. Crichton and Cole. Columbia University Hussard, Brown, J. Conway. Morris ana Broast.

Loser Would Discontinue Bout, Kan sas City Club Declines Wrang ling Is Exhibition Feature. KANSAS CITY. April 7. Yussiff Mahmout. a Turkish wrestler, defeat ed pr. B. F. Roller, of Seattle, in straight falls in their match here to day. The first fall came in 35:50 with a double wrist lock and a scissors. The second fall took but 2 minutes and 30 seconds and was done with an arm lock and a half-nelson. Roller never appeared to have a etiance to win. Mahmout forced the contest from the beginning, and ob tained dangerous holds with little difti culty. The physician did not have the Turk in trouble at any time. "Roller's poor showing might have been due to his poor condition. After the first fall. Jack Curley, Roller's manager. Insisted his man had injured his right shoulder and proposed that the bout be stopped. Club officers forced Roller to finish the match. Before the contest started Curley re fused to permit Dave Porteus, the offi cial referee of the club, to officiate. Daniel Shay, manager of the Kansas City baseball team, was substituted. This action led to a fight between Cur ley and Shay later. The police stopped it. After the wrestlers were in the ring Roller said he would not wrestle if Mahmout did not don shoes. The Turk put on shoes while the spectators hissed. Before the I 'Mit had proceeded two minutes Roller sustained a severe cut over his right eye. It bled freely. James Asbell, of Kansas City, defeat ed Kali Pasha. the "hand-painted Turk." In a preliminary match. In censed because Pasha bit him, Asbell threw his opponent over the ropes upon some rough planks. Later, in a rough tussle, the Turk lost several teeth. Dayton High Beats Waitsburg. DAYTON. Wash.. April 7. ( Special.)

Happy Hogan's villagers at last took a game today from Portland, by a 5 to 2 score. The Vernons found their batting streak and three pitchers put in by McCredie failed to stop them. It was a rapid game from the start and the Beavers showed class in the field and at bat, de spite the score. Casey was the bright particular star of the game, because of the most, spectacular play seen locally for many a season. In the seventh inning Coy started a red-hot high-liner to right and Casey, made a most sensational leap and caught It. But he slipped on landing and fell to the ground. Squirming around on the ground, while lying flat on his back, he threw the runner out. Plays Mora Rapidly. In the first inning, after Netzel popped to R. Brashear and Olson fanned, Casey singled and took second on McCredie's infield single. Carlisle dropped Rapp's high fly to center and Casey scored with the first run. Then G. Fisher flied out.

Petrain's Talks on Current Sporting Topics THE southpaw pitching of Roy Hitt proved too strong for McCredie's Beavers yesterday, and a good south paw ought to do well against any of the Coast League clubs. Portland has five left-handed hitters in the regu lar lineup. - ICetzel, Casey, McCredie, Buddy Ryan and Gus Fisher all hit from the left side of the plate, and left-handed pitch ers usually have the southside stickers on their staff. Hitt seems to be in shape this season, and he earned his victory. Besides the Portland club, the other teams having five left-handed batsmen are: Los Angeles, San Francisco, Oak land and Sacramento, while the Vernon club has four regulars who swing left handed. What a record a southpaw like Harry Sutor could make this sea son. Little Jesse Garrett does not seem to have caught his stride yet, but the diminutive Texan will win lots of games for Portland later. Garrett is one of the coolest and steadiest pitch ers in the league, and the loss of the first games will not bother him much. ... Anson Mott seems to have at last found his proper place on a ball club. The former Portland thlrd-sacker is being played at first base by the Tacoma Northwestern League club, and from press accounts he is putting up a great game. According to Tacoma critics. Bill Hurley, the aggressive ball tosser, is about to lose his grip In. baseball. However, Bill should have many more garnes of baseball up his sleeve, and if he loses out with Blankenship it's a safe bet some other club- hooks him. Seattle is bemoaning the fact that the Spokane club has had the good for tune to enjoy first-class weather for training purposes, can it be that Dug dale is afraid his champions won't re peat, or is it that the great and glor ious climatic conditions at Seattle have been all shot to pieces by the Halley comet? . Bill Steen, otherwise "Big Six." is likely to be sent against the Vernon bunch today, and the big fellow is due to win. for he Is too good a pitcher to lose every game. Steen is the coolest of the Portland bunch when under fire. He will be a favorite before the season is over. Willie Jacobs, formerly an all-round athlete, and who caught one season for the Tacoma club In the Northwestern League, is one of the press agents to work for a San Francisco paper at the camp of James J. Jeffries. . According to the advices from Sac ramento, Charley Graham is on a still hunt for more pitchers. Jimmy Whalen and Spider Baum have not shown up well to date, and the only men work ing good in the Senatorial camp are Hunt and Brown. Howard Guyn and Tommy Murray do not like the dampness at all, for both are anxious to work out each day, but the Vaughn-street grounds will not "'"HtuffiffiiiiHiiiayf permit of the exercise, not to mention the discouraging feature of rain. It has been said Good ness is always on the inside. . IMPEMALXS MOUTHPIECE CIGAKETXES are good to look at but better to smoke.
