Luther Me Carty, of Springfield. Mo., won tne ronnrf huvTwcirht championship ell nation contest at Vernon tonight from Jim Flynn, the Pueblo fireman. The battle ended in the ISth round, after m.nn ' had rone down twice. Referee Pvtnn ntnnned the fight. MeCarty entered the ring at a:5. Plvtin followed two minutes later. Betting at the ringside was at even lrivnn weighed In an hour before ring time at 188 pounds. MeCarty tliTii tha scales at 205. A line of ticket buyers several blocks Jn length clamored for chances at the hivinffir lone after every seat had been sold. Al Palzer was introduced as the op ponent New Tear's day of the winner f trmlirht's milL The fight by rounds: vivnn took a. terrific beating. He never had a chance against the Mis souri "white hone." whom he had - promised to destroy. Cries of "Stop HV Interfere. Savage smashes on the jaw sent him down three times in the ninth round. At that time it seemed certain that he would go out. but his remarkable vl talltv persisting after 12 years of ring battles, remained with him until . the middle of the 16th round, when the referee, barkening to the vociferous cries of "stop it." that had begun in the ninth round, raised Mccarty's gory " right glove and proclaimed him the winner. The end came when Flynn had gone down twice under the ponderous smashes of his youthful and gigantic ODDonent. The first time he was knocked to the floor Flynn remained down for nine seconds. He rose, staggering, and straight half-arm blows, the thud of which could be herd throughout the scrowded arena, sent him sprawling again for the finish. He came up com- - plaining and denouncing Byton for pro claiming MeCarty the winner. As a reward of his victory tonight. In addition to the purse, MeCarty will meet Al Palser in the Vernon ring for a "heavyweight, championship" battle of 20 rounds on New Tear's day. Thus he will have verified the jocular pre diction he made to the big New Torker when the latter was Introduced and tne two shook hands just before the gong sent Flynn and the young Missourian together. Absolutely unknown a few months ago, and but a glimmering "hope" even after he had disposed of Kaufman. Mc carty, by tonight's decisive victory, places himself, in view of Jack John son's supposed elimination, in direct line for heavyweight - championship honors. He fought with the coolness of a veteran, and left the ring smiling o t-i .1 rtraftfollv unmarlrMl. FljEB Badly Marked. Flynn was a pitiable spectacle. His body bore great welts.

GIANTS XOT TO CHANGE OWXERS Hempsted, Brash's Son-in-Law, Is Elected President of Club. NEW YORK, Dec 10. There will be no change in the ownership of the New York Nationals nor in the management of the team, it was announced by H. X Hempstead, son-in-law of the late John T. Brush, Immediately after he had been elected today president of the National Exhibition Company, the cor porate title of the New York club, to fill the vacancy caused by Mr. Brush's death. The directors elected C. J. Sullivan, one of their number, to be vice-president, replacing Mr. Hempstead in that position. "Until after the election I have re frained from making public any state ment with regard to the future of the New York club." said Mr. Hempstead. "It Is the Intention of the family to retain control of the club. There will be no change In the management of any nature, and Mr. McGraw will con tinue to manage -the players as he heretofore has done,, and. will have the same free hand that he had In working with Mr. Brush. RIVAL SYSTEMS IN L Southern and Union Pacific to Battle for Mastery of Central Pacific. . PORTLAND MAY BE GAINER Southern Pacific Wins It Will Mean That Harrlman Road Will Make This City Terminus for Oriental Line. Stockholders of the Southern Pacific Company have formed a committee to protect their interests and to prevent, if possible, the Union Pacific gaining control of the Central Pacific property, which la the line between Ogden, Utah, and San Francisco, and which the Su preme Court, In its recent decision dis solving the Union Pacific-Southern Pa cific merger, suggested the Union Pa cific might acquire. This contest for control of the Cen tral Pacific promises to develop an In teresting situation, and upon its out come depends the future course of the Union Pacific directors In conducting their" business. If the Union pacific gets hold of the Central Pacific-the situation so far as Portland is concerned probably will be unchanged. Should, however, the South ern Pacific be successful in the contest. the Union Pacific, It is believed, would throw its entire strength into its exist ing property, consisting of the Union Pacific proper, the Oregon Short Line and the O.-W. R. & N. Company. In fact, this would be the only thing that economical management would permit them to do. . Portland May Be Made Terminus. If the Union Pacific loses the Central Pacific the proposed merger of the three roads the Union Pacific, Oregon Short Line and O.-W. R. & N. Company under the name of the Union Pactfip probably will be consummated and a steamship line between Portland and the Orient will be established. This will make Portland the Pacific Coast terminus of the Harrlman system. Regardless of the outcome of. the struggle now being precipitated, be tween the Southern Pacific and the Union Pacific, Portland is in a position to gain considerable prestige and busi ness. If the Southern Pacific wins It means the concentration here of Union Pacific strength with the accompany ing steamship service; If the Union Pa cific wins, Portland will continue the headquarters of the Harrlman territory In the Northwest. However, the Union Pacific stock holders, who really have In their power the means of acquiring a majority of the Gentral Pacino - stock, already are lining up for the contest. Their com mittee consists of J. N. Wallace, of New York, chairman; Henry Evans, president of the Continental Fire In surance Company; J. Horace Harding, of C D. Barney & Co., who organized the" protective committee of stockhold ers in the - Wabash reorganization; Frederick Strauss, of J. & W. Sellgman, bankers, and Albert Wiggin, president of the Chase National Bank of New York. v Inasmuch as the Union Pacific owns less than! 50 per cent of the Central Pacific stock, the Southern Pacific shareholders are confident of getting control of the Central Pacific Although the rules of the Interstate Commerce Commission make competi tion in rate making between the Union I'acinc and the Southern Pacific Impos sible, competition in service, which Is all that the Commission now demands, Is a certain result of the decision. In fact, it has set in already. Here at home is abundant example of it; hops and fruit from the Wil lamette Vailey are now moving east ward over the Southern Pacific . lines through Ashland, Sacramento and El Paso. Some of them move via Sac ramento and Ogden, where they are delivered to the Short Line. Under the Union Pacific's domination of the Southern this traffic would have been brought to Portland and deliv ered here to the O.-W. R. & N. Com pany, the Union Pacific and itsallies thus taking the long haul from Port land to destination and the Southern Pacific being left with the short haul from point of origin to Portland. ' Spronle Institutes Change. This change In routing, it is said, began soon after William Sproule be came president" of the Southern Pa cific a little more than a year ago. Mr. Sproule is a traffic man of long ex perience, formerly having been general freight agent for the Southern Pacific in this territory. If the Union Pacific acquires the Central Pacific this traffic naturally will move through El Paso and New Orleans. If the Central Pacific goes over to the Southern Pacific it Is prob able that the latter road will turn It over to the Denver & Rio Grande at Ogden just as readily as it now turns it over to the Oregon Short Line. That actual and active competition will result from the decision is certain. The lines are beginning to tighten al ready. Real competition between the Great Northern and the Northern Pa cific has .existed ever since the North ern Securities decision in spite of the fact that J. J. Hill still exercises con trol over the Northern Pacific as well as over his own road the Great North ern. It is a fact that competition be tween the Northern Pacific and the Great Northern Is Just as keen today as It Is between the Northern Pacific and the Union Pacific . - t . Lovett to Stay at Head. , So far-as the Southern Pacific is con cerned it will have to act Independently from the time the court decision be comes effective. The Harrlman organ ization will remain with the Union Pa cific, which with the Short Line and the O.-W. R. & N. Company, comprise the Harrlman system. The Southern Pacific never was a part of the. sys tem, strictly speaking. It was an un willing member, at any rate. The pres ent efficient management of tne "sys tem" will remain with the Union Pa cific - That means that Judge Lovett will continue the' executive head with Julius Kruttschnitt In charge of the operating end of the business and L. J. Spence In charge of traffic. The force now necessary to conduct the Joint business of the two companies will be reduced considerably, but what remains will be in the service of the Union Pa cific. The Southern Pacific will be forced to build up an organization of its own. In anticipation of this reorganization was affected a few months ago when E. E. Colvln was made vice-president in charge of operation. It Is said that he will hold a position with the South ern Pacific similar to that of Mr. Kruttschnitt with the Union Pacific and that E.O. MeCormlck will be the traffic head. . Mr. Sproule probably will continue as president, but . a new chairman of the board of directors will be named.

Coffey, when the latter resigns from his position on the city Executive Board to take up his duties In the of fice of the County Clerk, to which he was elected at the recent election. The announcement of this appointment has not come officially from the Mayor's office, but the selection of Mr. Hodson is regarded as certain. Mr. Hodson is a prominent realty man of Portland, a former president of the Portland Commercial Club and active in several civic organizations of Portland. He has also served Mult nomah County in the State Legislature. M. J. Murnane, of the Executive Board elected to the State Legislature, will also resign from the board next month. No certain prediction as to his successor has been made in the City Hall, although C. S. Rudeen, a mer chant, has been mentioned. Multnomah Teachers Meet.
