De Witt Van Court, veteran boxing Instructor, had the following to say in the Times: "Hahn. who got a draw with Eddie Dennis, eaya that he was stale and could not make a good showing. Hahn will have to show more willingness to fight than he showed u If he ever ex peats to make good In the boxing game." e e e Billy Ryan, promoter of the recent boxing fiasco at the Armory, was not ao much to blame after all for the rldlculoue matching of the prelimi naries. It appears. Ryan apparently had everything fixed up rosy for some good boxing clashes but the lads, when the time came for action, got to gether, formed an embryonlo union and refused to get on as matched. Kach one of them bad a sparring partner or friend all along, and de manded that he be permitted to ex hibit his skill against such timber. Kid Kxposlto refused flat-footed to box Jockey Bennett because Bennett waa to box later In the show with another bantam. "At first I waa Inclined to call every thing off and return the money but I couldn't do that because we had dozens of militiamen In the hall who simply walked In without tickets and without paying and there would have been no way of picking them out," said a friend of Ryan's yesterday. "It would hare meant a big financial loss to him. Aa It was he went In the hole." Tom Kennedy, white hop who re cently outpointed falser In a ten round bout In New York, weighs 1(5 pounds. Raiser's weight waa given out aa 111. e e e The Frawley boxing law In New Tork la not a failure as charged by Governor Dlx. of New Tork. according to Robert Edgren. on of Gotham's foremost writers. - "The population of this state Is made op of all sorts of people." says Edgren la an open letter to Dlx. "It's sate to ay that SO per cent of the men take an Interest In boxing, though a large per cent may content Itself with read ing the papers. "Isn't that majority entitled to some consideration?" asks Edtcren. "As for the Frawley bill. It Is any thing but a failure. At the start there was trouble (which should hsve been expected) with promoters who tried to run things to suit themselves and lgnor the law. These people have been satisfactorily disposed of by the boxing commission which has made and enforced necessary regulations and haa driven crooked and law-evading promo ters out of the game. "Today under th Frawley law box ing la conducted In New Tork In fully as satisfactory a manner as basrfall. football, hockey, track and field athle tics or any other branch of sport."

The different man will be kept In their regular places as far as possible, to eliminate confusion. The team will be rather evenly built, but the back field will probably outwelght the line. Anson Cornell, who haa been out of football most of the season, will try out for a position, probably as quarter. Be la one of the fastest and headiest players ever turned out by any of the Portland high schools. The call for tlcketa for the game Is already larfe. Beginning Tuesday, the pasteboards will be on sale at th dif ferent high schools. The g-ame may out-draw the Oak Park match last year.

Ely played but a short time with San Francisco, for hla arm failed him and he returned to Portland. Where ho re mained through the Summer. The failure of Sammy Vlgneux team to make a ahowlng in the Paclflo Coast League caused dissatisfaction among the fans and atockholders here, and "Bones' Ely saw a chance to buy Into the club. This he did and assumed th management himself, succeeding Vlg neux, who retired from the diamond and entered business. In 104 "Bones" Ely made th mis take of taking his brother, Ben Ely, Into partnership with him In the base ball game. They failed to agree and this caused the former National League star to retire from the field and leave his brother in oontrol. Ben Ely then brought D. E. Dug-dale, of Seattle, to Portland to manage the team, and Dug was even more of a failure than any of his predecessora After quitting baseball Fred Ely en gaged In promoting Independent tele phone oompanles throughout the' North west, and is still engaged In this occu pation.

Contest Checks Redeemed at Eilers Callers find $100 Checks Worth at Least $147 Several callers yesterday asked Eilers Muslo House to accept 1100 certificates issued by a factory branch. Thl fac tory branch, It seems, makes great claims as to being able to furnish pianos upon very advantageous condi tions. It claims to be "the only direct factory branch In the City of Portland." "All other piano houses are merely re tall dealers." it says. "We deal with you direct from factory to home," It continues. "You eave the Jobber's profit, you save the dealer's profit," It says. Bounds plausible, you say. Any statements of this kind are wrong. A factory branch has no ad vantages over even the ordinary piano dealer. It doesn't do any business to speak of; when It comes to competing with a concern like Eilers Music House, it Is simply hopelessly helpless. Ask the factory branch how many pianos It has sold this year. Ask it how much rent It has paid. Then see for yourself how much this wonderful factory branch has to add for one item, namely store rent alone, to the.- price of each piano. All other expenses, yon will find, fig ure upon the same basis. A tacky factory branch, selling an occasional piano now and then, has no advantage to offer the. buyer. On the other hand, Eilers Muslo House comes before you with a positive guarantee EVERY WEEK. FOR ARTICLES ON "HOW WE WON OUR HOMES" The Portland Realty Board invites the homeowners of Portland and vicinity to enter an essay contest for the best articles on the general topic, "How We Won Our Home," and offers the following prizes each week: FIEST PEIZE, $25 SECOND PRIZE, $10 THIED PEIZE, $5 The articles should deal with actual, concrete personal experiences of home-winning and home-building, setting forth, step by step, the progress toward the achievement, from the time of making the first payment on a lot or acreage to the realization "of the ambition. It is not necessary that homes be entirely paid for. Articles will appear in The Sunday Oregonian. Photographs are desirable, but will not be considered in awarding prizes.

But to oap the climax, the peoplo who called here Saturday were simply astounded to find upon our floor the Identical make of piano upon which thie credit check of $100 waa to ba applied at the factory branch as part payment. Imagine the surprise of these people when they found Eilers Muslo House offering the same make of in strument for 147 less than th price asked for the same style and make at this factory branch. Eilers Muslo House was actually selling the Instru ment for $147 less than what the fao tory branch was trying to secure for the same make of instrument. And, In view of the conditions outlined above, Is It any wonder that ' Eilers Muslo House finds Itself In position to furnish even factory branob pianos at so much lees money? Those factory-branch checks, or near checks, may ba worth $1001 We sug gest, however, that every buyer wish ing to employ the same first off con sult Eilers Musla House.
