1 8 THE MORNING OKEGONIAN, TUESDAY, MAY IP, 191Q. JOHNSON BEGINS ACTUAL TRIilNG Champion Fighter Walks and Runs Seventeen Miles on His First Day. SOXING HAS NOT STARTED legro Patiently Poses for Newspaper Photographers, and Writers Get Chance for Critical Surveys of Boxer's Bulk. SAX FRANCISCO, May 9. (Special.) Twelve miles of road work in the kiorning' and something like a five-mile log late in the afternoon constituted Ihe first day's training done in Cali fornia by Jack Johnson for his com- tig nsrht with Jeffries. In ibetween, for about an hour, John ton, as he had promised, posed pati ently for the newspaper photographers tnd did not suggest quitting until the last one of the camera men said that be had enough. That bit of work, Which was evidently as interesting to Johnson as it was to the crowd that had gathered, was followed by an auto mobile ride taken by Johnson in his facing car. As he had announced the day before. Johnson will do no work in the gym nasium. Twice a day, early in the Forenoon and again in the afternoon, De will be on the road with his assist ants. On Sunday, commencing at D'clock, he will start the gymnasium Uunts and box Ave or six rounds with Seorge Cotton and Marty Cutler. Boxing Three Days a Week. For the first two weeks of sparring he proposes to put on tne gcloves three days a week, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays. Later he will increase this to four days a week, appearing in the gymnasium on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Newspapermen present at the taking I of the pictures had their first oppor- I tunlty to see the champion stripped down to fighting trunks, and there were no adverse criticisms heard. If any thing, the sporting experts were in clined to the opinion that Johnson might be carrying more weight than he possesses in view of the time he has in which to train. Some Extra. Weight Shown. Naturally there is some extra weight about the stomach, hut not as much as was expected in view of the leisurely way in which Johnson has been en- Joying himself. In a week, if Johnson desired, he could bring down the waist line and be in fair trim. While not impressing those who have seen Jeffries as being a man of powerful build as the California fighter, there is that about Johnson that brings an idea of strength and, moreover, speed. His legs are small in proportion to the rest of his body, but not too small to carry hia frame. From thi waist line up is where he snows to best advantage his strength, and there .Is no question but that the colored man hs built himself up. His shoulders show the driving power and his arms aro unquestionably larger than they were. Johnson Looks Well. If he sticks conscientiously to the programme of road work that he hi set out for himself he will work down Into condition by the time he is ready to box for the first time. He looks as supple as a great cat and there is no logtness in his movements as there was in Jeffries when he began training. Johnson has not been weighed since he has taken up his quarters at thi Seal Rock House, but judges for him self that he would tip the beam at 226 pounds. He does not look to be up to that weight by any means, judging the man as he stands, and it is quite likely that he will be surprised when he actually gets on the scales. "Personally, I would be glad not to commence boxing for a couple of weeks," said Johnsdn, "for I ought to know best my condition, but the public demands it and I will show the people lust what is my condition.

JEFF MAKES POOR SHOWING Slow of Eye and Foot and Is Grouchy as Gorilla. BEN LOMOND. Cal., May 9. Jim Jef fries put up a poor show in the ring to day. Compared to his work of last week, he was slow both of eye and foot, and the spectators in the gymnasium, which included Tex Rickard and Jeffries' father and brother, were disappointed. Jeffries slept until late in the morning and when he. appeared in the ring stripped for action, he lacked the life that he has shown on other days. To make matters worse, the "grouch" which COLORED HEAVYWEIGHT WHO WILL PRACTICE BOXING THREE PATS A WEEK HEREAFTER. sw r",-k flili rr : ": - - ' i - RECENT SNAPSHOT OF JACK JOHNSON, PUGILIST. Jeffries displayed during the early part of his training siege returned in double force, and the fighter was as affable as gorilla. Seven rounds in all marked the ring work. Three with Joe Choynski were featureless except as showing that the ex-champion was not up to form. In the second round of his bout with Bob Arm strong the spectators were led to think that he had dropped the negro, for Arm strong stretched his full length on the mat. It developed, however, that it was only a slip. A few moments later Jef fries stepped on his own foot and went down in the spot where Armstrong had fallen. After the boxing the striking bag came in for a hard trouncing and later handball was indulged in. As a whole, however, the day was filled with disap pointments. Rickard will leave here tomrorow morn ing. He declared that he and Berger had not discussed the referee question. ' Two Teams Tied at Top. ALBANY, Or., May 9.. (Special.)

BY W. J. PETRA1N. EXTRA inning games of the length of Sunday's contest between Portland and Vernon have been most infrequent in Portland's history of baseball. Last year the Portland and Sacramento clubs struggled through 18 innings, making one score each, and on that same day the San Francisco and Oakland clubs played 24 innings. San Francisco win ning by scoring the only run made in the game. In 1908, San Francisco de feated Portland in a 20-lnning game on a Sunday afternoon, and prior to that time the longest game recorded here was a 16-inntng affair between Portland and Seattle In the old North western League of 1901, when Jack Grim's bunch beat Dave Dugdale's crew 4 to 3 on Wednesday, August 14, 1901. Long games of 10 Innings and up to 14 innings have been frequent in the Vaughn-street park. but those achieving a greater length have been scarce indeed. The remarkable fea ture of the long-drawn contests in Portland is that the pitchers who com mence the games finish them. In the long game between Seattle and Portland in 1901, Willis Salisbury officiated in the box for Portland, while Jesse Stovall, now a member of the Vernon club, twirled for Seattle. The Portland team participating in that memorable game comprised the following players: Willis Salisbury, pitcher; Sammy Vigneux, catcher; Louis Mahaffey, first base; Andy An derson, second base; Joseph D. Tinker, third base; Jake Deisel, shortstop; Max Muller. left field: R. P. Brown, center field, and Fred Weed, right field. Of these players Joe Tinker is now the famous shortstop of the Chicago National League Club, and one of the world's sreate t ball players.

Weston won from Athena yesterday, 5 to 1. A long drive by W. Nordean In the second, netting four runs, clinched the game for the locals. Afterward both sides were 1 lanked. Weston now leads the Blue Mountain League, Pilot Rock having defeated Pendleton today. "Slats" Wheeler, who has won all of Weston's six games, left today for Wal lace, Idaho, to pitch there for the re mainder of the season. Austrian on 25,000-Mile Tramp. LA GRANDE, Or., May 9.

Willie Gabbs. of Philadelphia, gained a decision over Tommy Gary, of Chicago, after ten rounds of furious fighting here tonight. Both fighters weighed 124 pounds. Ilalsey Man Becomes- Maniac. ALBANY, Or., May 9. (Special.) Irvine F. Brock, 34 years old, became suddenly insane at his home near Hal sey last night. He tried to fight the neighbors who brought him to AlBany this morning, and when placed in the County Jail he caused a disturbance. County Judge Duncan committed him to the State Asylum for the Insane, and he was taken there this afternoon. ing retired from the diamond. Fred Weed is with the Spokane team in the Northwestern League, and "Bob" Brown is manager of the Vancouver club in the same organization. Salis bury -played with San Francisco two years ago, but has since retired from the game. Sammy Vigneux Is at his home in Lynn, Mass., and Jake Deisel is playing independent ball around Cincinnati, where he lives. George En- gle and Martin Glendon were also pitchers for Portland that year, while Jack Grim was the team manager, and brought the first pennant here since the early nineties. The Seattle club which participated in tnat game was managed by D. E. Dugdale and comprised the following players: Ralph Frary, catcher; Jesse btovaii. pitcher; Bill Hurley, first base; Ivld Peeples; second base; Gus Klopf, third base; Charles Zeigler, shortstop; Jack Bodie. left field; "Pete" St. Johns, center field, and Ira Harmon. right field. Jack Hickey was alternate pitcher, while Ira Harmon and Stovall changed positions when one Ditched. In that game the score was tied at three runs when Portland's half of the sixteenth arrived. Andy Anderson was first man up and singled sharply over second. Joe Tinker attempted a sacrizice ana was sale on an error by Gus Klopf. and Fred Weed won the game by a long single to right field, on which Anderson scored the winning run. In 1908 Jack Graney, for Portland, and Harry Sutor. for San Francisco, fought out a 20-lnning affair on Au gust 3, Sutor finally winning by the score of S to 5. Last year, Portland and Sacramento fought 18 " innings without a decision being reached, each club having scored one run. 'Portland's lone run was a homer by Ote Johnson in the fourteenth inning, and tSis tied the score, for Sacramento had regis tered one run in the first half of the same canto. JOE GANS IS OUT Popular Fighter Victim Dread Tuberculosis. of ORDERED WEST AT ONCE Doctor Tells Him Ho Must Live in Arizona If He Has Any Hope of Fighting. Off Disease Joe Will See Big Fight. BALTIMORE, Md., May 9. (Special.) Joe Gans, the "old master" and most popular negro fighter that ever stepped Into a ring, is out for good, counted out as a victim of dread tuberculosis. The former champion lightweight was Informed of his condition today and or dered to leave at once to take up a per manent residence in the Far West. Oans plans on starting as soon as possible to live in some far-off resort in Ariaona. where he hopes eventually to fight off the dread plague. It is said that the former pugilist knew of his present state for some time, but kept It under cover, -with the. hope of fighting it off. This Is borne out when It Is considered that Gans did not appear at all depressed when told of the disease that gripped him, but, on the other hand, acted as though he expected nothing less. This puts to rest all reports of his wanting to fight Wolgast for the cham pionship, for it is doubtgul if Gans will ever take part again In active sports of any kind. The old adage, "out of sight, out of mind," was amply Illustrated in the case of the former lightweight champion, who was one of Sam Langford's second in Philadelphia when he boxed Ketchel. Those close to the ring recognized the man whom they had often cheered in glove contests not so very long ago. Gans is only a shadow now his former self. In coming West Gans has two objects, one is to seek health and the other to see the big fight, July 4. NATIONALi LKAGTJE. Won. Lost.

What Mao needs more than anything else is at least two reliable batsmen. Speas has fallen down hard as a bat ter, and Hetling is not hitting up to the standard expected of him. Both players, however, may show improve ment in the near future. . Charles Armbruster, Howard Guyn and Miles Netzel were left at home when the Beavers left on a two-weeks' trip to California Sunday night. "Buster and Guyn will Join the team on its re turn, but it is likely that Netzel will be sent to Spokane. Captain Perle Casey will play his old position, second base, at Los Angeles Wednesday. His return to the game is expected to ginger the players up con siderably. George Ort will play right field until McCredie Is able to play once more. Manager McCredie will send Vean Gregg against Los Angeles- in the open ing game of the series this week, for he figures that the southpaw will be able to trim the Angels twice. This means that .Eugene Krapp will pitch the Thursday game Instead of the opener this week. . Chicago tossed the gaff into Johnny McGraw's New York Giants in the first meeting between these two clubs this season, and it was a "Chicago" victory. Once more we wonderingly inquire what can be the matter with that Se attle "world's champion" team? Mike Lynch, the valiant, and Dave Dugdale, the rotund, must be tearing their hair in anguish, for Seattle to In the cellar. Just think of It! Los Angeles and San Francisco played yesterday because the Seals could not get to the Angels' city in time for the Tues day game. Portland will do likewise next Monday, which means that McCredie s men will play every day from now until they start for home, a week from Sun day.
