The foregoing card will be) presented tomorrow night by the Vancouver Athletic Club in the Post Gymnasium, at 8:30 o'clock. It is one of the best boxing- cards that the promoters have ever lined up In this part of the country, and most of the boxing fans la Portland will cross the Columbia to see the) show. All of the boys oa the card have narrowed down in their training and will rest today. Jack Wagner, who will meet Billy Williams In the main event of 10 rounds, la determined that he will reverse the decision that Williams holds over him, and is con fident that he can trim the former Beanie lightweight in 10 rounds. Williams says mat he does not think Wagner stands a chance with him, and that he will be on top of Jack from start to finish if the bout goes the limit. Williams is anxious to meet Pete Mitchie and Eddie Campl and realizes that he must beat Wagner to remain in the top-notch class. George Brandon and Billy Mascott will fight it out for the bantamweight championship of the Northwest. They are scheduled to go six three-minute rounds. Mascott says that he expects to beat Brandon and then, go after Charley Moy, bantamweight champion of the Pacific Coast. Brandon does not have much to say, but he will be working all the time and thinks that he is the boy to take Mascott's meas ure. Valley Trambitas, the battling- Rou manian, will clash with Soldier Arnold in a bout which is being billed as a double main event. -Trambitas is one of the best middleweights on the Coast and Arnold will have to step some to keep up with Valley. The soldier- has a good reputation in Denver and Southern California and may prove a dark horse. In eight bouts in Denver last year he won four by knockouts. Johnny Boscovitch is in the pink of condition for his six-round setlo with Charley Rooney. Both of these boys are making a bid to get up in the first class of the boxing ranks and will do their best to win. Both are rugged, aggressive boxers and a slam-bang battle is in order. The doors will open at 7:30 and the ehow will start at 8:30 sharp, so as to let the visitors from Portland out in time to get home at a reasonable hour. DEER ARE REPORTED SCARCE Hunting Parties In Coos District Have but Iiittle Success. INSPECTION OF TROOPS TODAY BY GOVERNOR IS SCHEDULED Following Review Dinner Will Be Given for Chief Executive at Officers Club Cure for Cver-Eaters Among Soldiers Effective. Ws MARSHFIELD, Or.. Aug. 22. (Spe- I BT WILL G. MAC EAE. ITH THE THIRD (BEAVER) EG1MENT, OREGON INFAN TRY, Aug. 22. (Special.) To morrow promises to be a big day at the state's mobilization camp. Governor Withycoinbe is to be the guest of the soldiers. He will review all the or ganizations in camp, and will be the guest of the officers at an impromptu dinner which will be given at the Offi cers Club. The Governor and his party Is re turning from Gold Beach, Or., and should anything happen that would prevent his coming to camp, the re view and dinner will be postponed a day. A review of all the troops in I camp will mean that there will pass before the Governor all of the Oregon troops but the first battalion of the Third Oregon, the advance euard which j has been sent to Palo Alto, and the first battalion of Oregon Engineers. While not permitted to give the num ber of troops, it can be said that Gov ernor Withycombe will review the greatest number of Oregon troops ever seen together at one time. Captain B. V. Clayton. Battery A. and Captain Charles L. Johnson, Battery B. have worked out a new cure for men of the battery who take more on their plate than they can. eat or are chronic kickers against the food. The chronic kickers, as soon as they become known, no longer are permitted to eat with the rest of the men, but are placed at a separate table. With the members of the overeating gentry it is different. At the mess house of each battery they have estab lished a "hog tame." Under the old system, at mess time, the men were lined up and the kitchen police gave each man a portion of whatever the meal consisted. The overeater, or food waster, for he never ate all the food on his plate, would howl for a larger helping. It does not take the mess sergeant long to learn who these fel lows are. Now. as quickly as they are found out, over he goes to the "hog table." The food now is served at a table and the food is passed back and forth as each member-calls for it. Any one taking on his plate more than he can eat is transferred from the main table and placed at the "hog table." They also tried, out a new form of Saturday inspection in the cavalry squadron. Major McDonell had Captain Cicero K. Hogan, Troop A, inspect Troop B. Captain Charles E. GJedsted, Troop C, inspected Troop B, Captain Thomas H. Maguire, Troop C, Inspected Troop E. then Captain Lee R. Caldwell, Troon D. dropped over to Troop A and did the inspecting. In spite of the fact that the switching around came as surprise to all, the scheme worked out fine. In spite of the fact that the battery lacks horses, having only 32, which were brought back from the Mexican border, both batteries are showing signs of getting results. This morning Battery A took the road for a march Instead of six horses it was done with four horses to the piece, and with not more than five or six ex-members in the formation, yet they made a splen did showing. In the morning Battery A makes use of the horses and in the afternoon Battery B uses them. It would be interesting to know Just how many pounds General George A. White has fretted oft since the cavalry was called out. Anyway, he stood the desk isolation at the Adjutant-General's office in the Morgan building as long as he could. Last night he tore himself loose from the office and passed the night with Major Charles Mc Donell. Bright and early this morning he was mounted and took a long ride. General White was much pleased with the squadron, and while he did not say bo, it was plain to be seen that he would rather be again Captain White, of Troop A. than be a desk soldier. He complimented Major McDonell and the officers of the squadron, and told them that he never stepped into a more or derly and clean headquarters la his ex perience. e Colonel Charles Lynch, Medical Corps, stationed at San Francisco, visited camp today. Colonel Lynch before making a camp inspection visited the La Grande Hospital unit. In a brief address to the unit he spoke of their splendid appearance, and complimented Major Moore and the rest of the offi cers on the organization, which for a unit, he said, compared with the best he had inspected. Private Leslie I Hatton, Company T. has been discharged from the Third Oregon because of dependency in his family. The hospital unit cavalry, the squad ron and both batteries were "shot in the arm" this morning. All came in for a double dose. In addition to the typhoid prophylactic there was the new dope, parathypoid. In all there are three shots to be given 10 days apart. The process was quite interesting to watch, although not interesting to some, for many of them fainted before they appeared before the "pill battery shooters." Corporal Urban G. Robbins, Company D. has been discharged from the Third Oregon, so that he may join the avia tion section. "Old General Indisposed" was a lin gering visitor at the camps of both the cavalry squadron and the batteries. The prophylactic inoculation and para thypoid and vaccination administered yesterday had the desired kick. MISS HARRIS M. WINNER SINGLE G., JAMISON'S PACER, SUF FERS FIRST DEFEAT OF YEAR. Victor Tabes S Heata Straight, stepping Third Id. 2:02Vi Sister Strong Wins 2:09 Trot, PHILADELPHIA. Aug. 22. Single G Fred Jamison's pacer by Anderson Wilkes, suffered his first defeat of the season today when he was beaten by Miss Harris M. in three straight .heats in the free-for-all pace, the feature event of the third day's card of the Grand Circuit meeting at Belmont track. The third heat was stepped in 2:02, a new track record. The event for 3-year-old trotters brought out a field of seven, and Ber tha Maguire proved an easy winner in I straight heats, stepping- the second heat in 2:09- The 2:15 pace went to Marjorle Kay in straight heats, the fastest of which was the third in 2:07. The crowd favored Geers in this event, but the best the veteran could get with Spy Direct was second in the second heat. The best race of the day was the 2:09 trot, won by Sister Strong. This was also a three-heat victory, but Valentine had to drive his mare the second heat in 2:063i to beat Brescia. Wilkes Brewer, the favorite, made bad breaks and managed-only to get third. It may be inferred that the scepter of early Hebrew times was made of wood. The scepter of the Persian monarch is described as "golden." that is probably of massive gold. (Esther iv:ll.) clal.) Six days of the hunting season have developed the most unusual sit uation noted here in many years and sportsmen are returning home with little game. Deer are reported scarce in all localities and nobody is able to account for the shortage. There have been many parties in the woods for four or five days this year who failed even to sight game, while others saw a few and some obtained one or two kills. To date nobody has reported having killed the limit. Some of the oldest hunters attribute the scarcity to the extremely dry weather. One party in the Blue Ridge district found the carcasses of two deer from which only the hams had been taken. The attention of the deputy game warden has been directed to the prac tice of those who had left the meat to spoil. AXGLERS TO GO TO SEATTLE W. C. Block and Dr. E. C.
