go on a long sea voyage to some coun
try where he is not known.

finished the counting and dividing of
the gate receipts. They announced
that the battle drew into the box of
fice 3110.000 and that the attendance

ICE HIPPODROME IS TO CLOSE
i
Festivities Tonight to Knd Skating
Session for Season.
After a successful five-months sea
son of ice skating, the Portland Ice
Hippodrome will be. closed for - th
1914-15 campaign at the conclusion
the session tonight, according to J.
George Keller, secretary and treasure
of the institution.
The Hippodrome opened on Novem
ber 7 and it is the desire of the man
agement to close on April 7. The 1915
16 season will begin about the middl
of October and the hockey season will
start much earlier than it did this
season.
Most of the hockey players have re
mained in Portland, although their con
tracts ran out last month. Manager
Pete Muldoon is thinking seriously of
playing professional lacrosse this year,
but aa yet he has not made up his
mind. The conditions for a lacrosse
league in British Columbia are not
as bright as heretofore.
BAX IS PUT OX BOXIXG PRIZES
Mrechandise Bouts to Be Prohibited
Under State Law.
Boxing for merchandise is to be pro
hibited in Portland from now on under
the state law prohibiting prizefight
ing. Mayor Albee gave orders to the
police yesterday to suppress all boxing
exhibition where prizes, either of cash
or merchandise, are offered. The
fights hereafter must be for glory and
glory only.
Mayor Albee had an investigation
made of the prizefight law by City At
torney LaRoche, and is to enforce it
according to Mr. LaRoc'ne's opinion.
iinockouta and contests which . are
brutal or are -not of a strictly amateur
nature are to be suppressed.
President Jack King, of the Imperial
Amateur Club, a member of the North
west Amateur Association, said last
night that he was perfectly willing to
abide by the Mayor's order, so far as
his club was concerned.
"The reason the new organization
conceived the idea of giving orders for
merchandise was to help the boys," said
King. '
"Many of the boys needed things that
they could not earn otherwise and we
thought it better to give them clothes
instead of medals. While it is true
that medals make a valuable keepsake,
we recognized the fact that the boys
did not care for them."

"Yes, Mr. Culver." (Mr. Culver fs the
local manager of the company.)
"George, a friend of Mr. Jackson's is
comingr in from New York tonight, and
Mr. Jackson wants you to meet him
and take him to Mr. Jackson's house in
Overbrook. The man is lame and walks
on crutches. His wife is with him. They
arrive in Broad-street Station at 8:45.
You'll have to hurry. Go inside. They'll

At Broad-street Station he parked his

revealed no lame man. George went
to the ticket window and inquired the
next train from New York. Nine fifteen,
the ticket man said.
George went out to wait in his car.
But there was no car... In two min
utes It had vanished.
No policeman, no loafers, no cabbies.
no newsboys. It was Sunday nignt.
No one was there to ask about the car's
disappearance.
George s next thought was to protect
himself. He hurried into the station
and up to the ticket office.
Do you remember me? ' he demand
ed of the ticket man.
"Why certainly, you just asked me
about a train from New York."
All Tight, that's all I wanted to
know. But be sure you don't forget if
happen to ask you again."
This over, George hastened across
the street and up into police headquar

In five minutes the police wires were
ticking the description of the stolen
car into every station-house, the few
facts, such as the license tag number.

it was a touring car, and worth $4500.

APOLOGY S GIVEN DOG
Evangelist Compares Supporters of
Liquor Interests to Cars.
ST. LOUIS, March 29. Hundreds of
persons who attended the evangelistic
meeting in the temporary tabernacle in
Edwardsvllle recently were surprlsea
when the evangelist. Rev. Charles T.
Wheeler. Instructed the ushers to pa
rade a -scrawny little dog through the
aisle to- the pulpit.
'Do you see that dog?' cried tne
evangelist. "I owe it an apology.
Then he explained that he had
preached a sermon on "Booze Sunday
ight. in which he referred to support
ers of the liquor interests as "curs."
The following day a man called on him
and said the evangelist owed the people
of Edwardsvllle an apology.
T don't think I owe the supporters
of the liquor interests an apology, but
hereby offer my apology to the dog.
said the evangelist.

BT ROSCOE FAWCETT.
They'll never get this little yJew
broke. I've done my plunging and 1 ve
ost a lot of money in my day, but any
time thev tell you I haven t a nest egg
hidden away juBt tell 'em they belong
at Matteawan.
Thus spoke Abe Attell, pnuosopner
and for 12 or 13 years featherweight
boxing champion of the world, as he sat
in his dressing-room at the Orpneum
Theater last night, scraping a layer of
rrn;s off his rud-dy cheeks.
I've had 365 Itgnts in my ooxing
career, added tne &an r rani-isco nc
brew. "Have made about $300,000, which
isn't bad for a young fellow only
years old, and I'm going to have some
of it when I die. None of this Young
CorUett finish stuff for me. It was
Young Corbett who made a plunger out
of me at Denver, lie piayea ine norses,
the ball games, the cards, the faro, rou
lette. Klondike, anything for exclte-
ent, and he taught me how to get rid
of my money.
Brnrdti Not Wanted.
"I bet 'em as high as anybody, but
I'm done now. I want just one more
crack at Kilbane and then I'm through.
don't want anybody to give benefits
for me. Young Corbett made a barrel
of money and he finished dead broke."
Abe recounts, with little evidence or
emotion, of the largest bet he ever laid
on a horse and he was a 'crafty pony
chaser, too, they say.
"I'll remember that horse until I die,"
interjected Attell. sprinkling a dab of
powder over a beak that is almost as
well known in sporting circles as John
son's "golden smile." The nag's name
was Prince Armor and the bet was $12,
500. "I had a hunch to play the horse that
day and when I saw Senator Pat Mc
Carren, the tall leader of Brooklyn De
mocracy, step up and deposit' $25,000
on Armor I nibbled quick. Well, sir.
Armor lost out by less than the- pro
verbial hair. Both nags were nose and
nose at the wire and the Judge could
have given it either way. I nearly had
heart failure when they hung up the
other bird's number."
Fights on Streets Many.
Abe was born on Washington's birth
day 31 years ago and he says his mother
named him after Abraham Lincoln. He
began as a tough boy in the San Fran
cisco streets. Abe is a bit proud of his
early record as a "bad one" among the
gangs of San Francisco.' and no wonder.
He packed the punch for his entire
bunch and never lost a skirmish.
By and by Abe's mother began to be
troubled with complaints about her par-
Tot-beaked boy, and as she was too
busy in her loan office to watch son
Abie, the latter was sent away to a
reform school for 15 months.
When he returned it was the same old
story, except that Abe finally wound up
in the preliminary game and won 34
consecutive bouts. He gave all the pro
ceeds to his mother at first and so met
with no parental objections. Abe is still
staking the family. He set his brother,
Caesar, up In a loan business in San
Francisco and Abe says .Caesar is coin
ing money now. ,
Abe Bears Not a Mark.
"The only money I ever regretted los
ing was $4000 that I never had down,"
remarked Attell. - somewhat enigmat
ically, aa the talk swerved back to
money. "I went up to Reno on July 4,
1910, absolutely sure that Jack John
son was going to trim Jim Jeffries. 1
told all the family to get their jewels
down and wife and I packed $4000 with
us to place on the big smoke. That
morning I visited the two camps and
when Jeff saw me he jumped off his
oouc'.i, rushed over and grabbed me, ex
claiming: "Abe, you'ro Just the one I'm
looking for. 1 want you to go in my
corner."
"There was nothing for nie to do but
accept," added Attell. "But it meant
that I couldnt bet a dime. I lost $400J
by obliging Jeff."
Abe has fought over 3500 rounds and
so clever is he that he bears not a mark
to show where a glove has touched him.
He does not use tobacco in any form
nor has he ever tipped the goblet.
."I like" Portland," he explained, "but
I don't understand the people very well
I'm afraid. Two years ago I came up to
box an exhibition match with Jockey
Bennett and they wouldn't let us go on.
Right beside our posters were bills ex
ploiting a "death defying automobile
race programme. Our "exhibition was
considered brutalizing and yet they
killed a man out at the racetrack that
afternoon.
"Can you beat that?
