" fw -fv-f -!. u THE SUNDAY OKEGOSIAS, PORTLAND, DECEMBER 27, 1903. 'B rjgJ5 fluj."1 -v STRONG IN LINE Reliance Team Will Give Multnomah a Battle. INDIANS WON BY TRICK PLAY Portland Eleven, to Score on New Year's, Must Adopt Same Tactics Reliance Ends the Weak est Polntc. Multnomah meets another football team strong In the line on New Year's Day. The Carlisle score of; 23-0 against Reli ance was made by trick plays and the shrewdest kind of generalship on the part of the Indians. They found they could not gain through tackles or guards, so thev worked all sorts of wily schemes, executed In the speediest manner, getting around the Reliance ends for substantial gains. Reliance was not able to do the same, and did not score. All-Oregon put up the best defensive game seen in Portland this Fall, but the Reliance line must be much stronger or the crack Carlisle eleven would have been able to do something with it However, Hamilton and Tarpey, the Reliance ends may not be as good as Watts and Cole man, and Multnomah may do some of the Indian stunts. But aside from that con jecture the Reliance aggregation, repre senting All-California, should prove an other stumbling block to touchdowns. This year's game with Reliance is to be especially interesting, as in the only two recent games played by the two teams, Reliance won the first by 5-0 and Multno mah the last by the same score. This deadlock both elevens expect to break this year. Multnomah wants to experience the sensation of making a touchdown again and Reliance hopes to make up for the Carlisle defeat. The Reliance Club of Oakland first or ganized a football team in 1890, but it -was not ery strong until 1S9L The next season, 1895, was its banner year. George McMillan, now captain of Multnomah, was captain of the Oakland team then, and he won for his club the champion ship of the Coast During the Fall he lined up his men against Multnomah, and ran up 44 points without giving the local men the. slightest chance to score. That was the last game the two teams had up to the two games mentioned, played in 1901 and 1902. Reliance has a good team yet, only Multnomah has improved, and in spite of the Carlisle victory Christmas, Mult nomah will have no walkover New Tear's. MANY RECORDS BROKEN. Season of 1903 Remarkable for New Athlteic Marks. The athletic season of 1903 passes Into history as an exceptionally brilliant one. .Records that had heretofore stood for years were broken with apparent ease by the well-trained athletes who took part In the many events. John J. Joyce, of the Pastime Athletic Club; Alexander Duffey, Georgetown Uni versity; W. E. Schutt of Cornell Univer sity, and Ellery H. Clark, of the Boston Athletic Association, must be classed as the four leading track and field men of the year. Joyce leaped into prominence when ho won the ten-mile championship in 57 min utes and 32 seconds at Madison Square Garden last March and defeated such men as Grant, Carr and Todd. After wlnnlns many handicap events during the season, Joyce captured the individual honors in the senior cross-country championship, again beating Grant at Travers Island. Joyce also defeated Schutt, the best of the intercollegiate runners, In this race. Grant earned undying fame by lowering the American record for two miles to 9 minutes and 27 4-5 seconds at Travers Is land on September 26. Grant was In mag nificent condition at this time and decided to try for the three-mile record a week later, but the day was unpropitious when he made the attempt Grant also won both the one and two-mile American championships and the one and five-mile Canadian championships. While Grant had a remarkably success ful season, the athletic sharps are not xeady to concede that he was a better man than W. B. Schutt the great dis tance runner of Cornell. At the Inter collegiate championships last May ho made a perfect show of his field In the two-mile run and lowered the Intercol legiate record for the distance to 9 min utes, 40 seconds. When he was beaten by Joyce in the National cross-country championship he had had only a week of training. A week later he easily won the individual cross-country championship of the Intercollegiate Association. He is exceptionally tall for a runner and has an enormous stride. He is a natural runner and many regard him as a second "Willie" Day. Great things are expected of him on the cinder path .during tho coming year. While Arthur Duffy, the peerless Ameri can sprinter, did not equal his famous world's record of 9 3-5 seconds for 100 yards, made at the intercollegiate cham pionship of 1902, he nevertheless again proved himself the' foremost sprinter in the world. After winning the intercollegi ate championship for 100 yards in 9 4-5 sec onds, he went abroad and carried on a successful campaign in England, Scotland and Ireland. He won the English cham pionship quite easily In 10 seconds. The all-hound championship contest is rightly regarded as the severest test to a man's pretentions of being a great athlete. Ellery H. Clark won this event at Celtic Park on July 4. It was the second time he had secured, this honor, for he was successful in 1897. This year ho beat Adam B. Gunn, the winner of tho all-around championship of 1901 and 1902. A complete account of the doings of these great athletes during the year can be found In the American Almanac, Year Rook, Cyclopedia and Atlas for 1904. One of the most talked of athletes of the year was W. A. Schick, of Harvard. "When this man made a new record of 7 1-5 seconds for 70 yards at an armory meet, it was predicted that he would give Duffey a close race In the intercollegiate cham pionships. As it turned out, Schick lost only by a few inches to Duffey. There was genuine surprise when Schick was beaten by another Harvard man, M. T. Lightner, in the furlong dash at the in tercollegiate meeting. One of the surprises of the year wa3 furnished by P. J. Walsh, who had won the American and Canadian sprinting championships in 1902. Archie Hahn, of the Milwaukee A. C, defeated Walsh in the 100 and 220-yard dashes at the Ameri can championships, and also got thp best of Walsh in the same events at the Canad ian meeting. Hahn did even time for 100 yards at the Canadian meet Another surprise, but In a different way, was furnished by Harry Hlllman, of the New York Athletic Club. .Hlllman won tHe quarter-mile American championship on a slow track in 52 seconds, but wa3 beaten by J. D. Morrow, of Montreal,; In" the fast time of 49 3-5 seconds at the Canadian meet Hlllman has the same build as Maxey Long and runs in the same easy fashion. He has improved so rapidly that It would not surprise the athletic world to see him attain as much fame. Association Football Game. The East Side baseball grounds on Haw thorne avenue, are in fine condition for the association football game which will be played there at 2:30 o'clock this after noon between teams representing Ilwaco and Eastern Oregon. The Ilwaco team ar rived last night and are in fine condition for the game. The Eastern Oregon men are expected In town early this morning. Both teams are close rivals, and first class football may be looked for. MULTNOMAH TEAM DEFEATED Dallas College Wins Basket-Bail by Score of 32 to 5. The Dallas College basketball team, which on Christmas eve defeated the "All Stars" assemblage that plays tha crack game at the Y. M. C. A., played Multnomah last night and did not give the home team a look-in, winning by a score of 32 to 5. Basketball, however, is a game in which a team can do clever work and yet come out with only a few points to Its credit and the Multnomah defeat was not so bad as it looked, though the Dallas team was undoubtedly much better organized and worked together well. Steadman did the be9t work for Multnomah, while there was little to choose between the style of play shown by Poling, Wilson and Teats for Dallas. The officials were R. A. Van Orstel, referee, and Charles Mackle umpire. The line-up of the teams was as follows: Dallas. Position. Multnomah. Hoffman ....L. F. R. Steadman Ford R. F. L. r.. Brandon Poling C Rasch Wilson L.

Mr. Orthur Chapman, writing from Dur ban, Natal, South Africa, says: "As a proof that Chamberlain's Cough Remedy Is a cure suitable for old and young. I pen you the following: A neighbor of mine had a child just over two months old. it had a very bad cough and the parents did not know what to give it I suggested that if they would get a bottle of Chamber lain's Cough Remedy and put some upon the dummy teat the baby was sucking it would no doubt cure the child. This they did and brought about a quick relief and cured the baby." This remedy Is for sale by all druggists. HANLON HAS AGREED He Finally Decides to Allow Graney to Be Referee. FIGHT IS NEARLY CALLED OFF Young Corbett Flatfootedly An nounces the San Francisco Man Must Serve, and Callfornian's Backers Make Best of It. SAN FRANCISCO. Dec 26. Eddie Graney was tonight selected to referee the fight next Tuesday night between Young Corbett and Eddie Hanlon. The Callfornlan announced positively today that he would not fight if Graney was selected as the referee. Corbett's choice was Graney or Harry Corbett, but the lat ter declined to serve. A meeting was held tonight Young Corbett flat-footcdly an nounced that it was either Graney or no fight, and after some argument Han Ion's backers consented to allow Graney to serve. Hanlon's objection to tho referee was alleged favoritism shown tho champion in the last bout between the two which was declared a draw. The Callfornlan declares he should have been given the decision -TTTTT---"TTtttlll. HOW THE FIGHTERS SIZE UP The measurements of Hanlon and Corbett, which were taken by the club physician. Dr. Apple, follow. It can be seen from them that Han lon has an advantage of two Inches In height and of an inch in 'the reach. The champion beats him by over an inch in chest measure ments, and also on the neck, but otherwise the boys are evenly matched.

Portland sports are taking a lively In terest in the coming Hanlon-Corbett fight There are a few of the local fight fol lowers who pick the Callfornlan to win. They figure that Hanlon fought the feath erweight champion to a draw the last time they met and that he will be able to turn the same trick again. If he does, they are of the opinion that he will be given the decision. Another reason for picking the little Callfornlan to win, Is that he has prepared himself for the bat tle with more care and has been able to reach the weght without difficulty, while Corbett on the other hand has had as much. If not more trouble reaching the weight this time than the last the pair hooked up. Jack Grant, who left last night for San Francisco for the purpose of seeing tho fight can't see anyone in the fight but Corbett Grant saw the champion fight several battles while he was visiting In Boston last Summer and he is willing to stake a big bet that the Denver lad Is tho best boy at his weight In the business. He saw Corbett and Mesmlc fight at the Ex position building here and at that time he fancied Hanlon very much. However, when he saw the champion put away a couple of the best youngsters In the busi ness with apparent case, and at each bat tle show marked improvement, he became a most ardent Corbett fancier. Peter Grant and Harvey Dale like Hanlon to win. Both are of the opinion that the fight will go the limit and look for the San Fran cisco boy to get the decision. Corbett's recenf talk about taking on Jimmy Brltt after he has disposed of Hanlon, proves without doubt that tho featherweight champion has fought his last battle In his class. No one knows better than Corbett that he Is no longer a featherweight His fondness for high living and the fact that he takes on flesh easily, coupled with a general disposi tion to avoid hard work, has caused talk of a battle outside of his class. Naturally Brltt Is the men In line for him to meet, but Corbett had better take on a few of the easy ones before tackling "Fighting" Jimmy, for just as sure as he does, his star will be dimmed. From a 'money standpoint Corbett could not make a bet- 2 Ex-State Senator NIebel, ef Michigan. ter match, hut he Is tnlrlncr n Inner rhnnro In order to swell his bank account. The story that Corbett was willing to meet Brltt caused no end of interest in Port land, for both fighters have appeared here. If the boys do meet, local sports will bo down on Brltt to the man, for in tho opinion of most of the wise ones, Brltt is the best lightweight In the business. Many sports think he could beat Joe Gans at 133 pounds. It is a bit early for local betting on the Corbett-Hanlon battle, yet quite a num ber of bets were made yesterday on Cor bett at 10 to 8. There is very little Han- I Ion money In sight because the chamDion is a hot favorite. Here are a few expert opinions on the fight: Harvey Dale I think Hanlon will win. The fight will go the limit and Hanlon will get the decision. Peter Grant Hanlon will get the deci sion If the fight goes the limit, and I think It will. Mysterious Billy Smith Corbett all the way. The champion has the punch and will win Inside of 15 rounds. Fred Ely ril buy a ticket on Corbett He looks good to me. Tommy Tracey Hanlon Is a strong young fellow, but he can't whip the champion. Corbett has the wallop and, mark me. the fight won't go the limit "Doc" FletcherI think so well of Cor bett that I'll bet $1000 against $600, that he will win. I don't think there is any one in the business who -can beat him. Ed Schiller Corbett don't smoke my ci gars, but at that I'll pick him to win. Hanlon's a strong young fellow, but he lacks the money-getting punch. Joe Reilly The Denver boy for my ticket He will win and may have to fight like a demon, but he'll get the winner's end of the money. Martin Denny Corbett inside " of the limit All this talk about his having trouble making weight is rot He will make the weight and be strong. He's the foxiest kid in the business. Jimmy Reilly It will be a great fight If the fight goes tho limit Hanlon will get the decision, but I look for Corbett to get In the punch that will do the trick before the limit is reached.

Indianapolis 'Journal. "There are many curious and interesting facts regarding the marriage and divorce laws of foreign countries," said R. J. Brown, who recently returned from a trip abroad, where he made a study of the question. "Breaches of promise, are avert ed in Hungary by an express declaration of the civil marriage act (1S95) that the re lations created by a betrothal do not give the right to command the conclusion of a marriage, but if either party withdraws from an engagement without Just reasons he or she Is bound to grant compensa tion o the extent of the outlay Incurred. Divorce In the English sense does not exist, but the courts can decree the per sonal separation of a married couple with out dissolving the bonds of matrimony. "A curious law prevailing In France pro vides that, before being married, chldren, of a family, although over age, shall seek in respectful and formal terms the advice of their father and mother. It makes no difference, however, whether the consent of parents is given, for the couple can be married a month after under any circum r d V-tf TV I ne uressy Man i IS ONLY SATISFIED WITH THE BEST, WHICH ACCOUNTS FOR THE POPULARITY OF THE Alfred Benjamin & Cos HAND - TAILORED CLOTHING BUSINESS SUITS DRESS SUITS TUXEDO SUITS OVERCOATS Made in the Most Perfect Manner from the Best Materials WE, ALONE, SELL THEM IN THIS CITY Buffuni & 311 MORRISON ST. stances. This is also the case in the Neth erlands. A divorce further entitles the in nocent party to recover all the presents he or she may have made. According to the constitution of the Netherlands, the civil marriage must always precede the re ligious ceremony. The latter, indeed is left entirely to the conscience of the par ties concerned. There is also a law pro viding that no man or woman under 30 can marry without the consent of parents. If the consent be refused, the couple have to appear before a' judge, who advises them as he thinks best. Many countries have now abolished all marriage fees. This is the case in Norway, while in the Nether lands certain days in the week are set apart when persons may be married with out payment." COUNTING CHICKENS. . . What States Canada Would Make if Annexed. Chicago Tribune. Le Deb.at, a Montreal paper, comes out flatfooted for Canada's union with the United States, provided the provinces of the Dominion be admitted as states. Some of them would be admitted thus on the consummation of the union, even If that event took place tomorrow. Ontario, with its 2,250,000 population, Its 7000 miles of railway, its abounding fields of wheat and barley, its generous orchards, its immense self-replenishing forests, its natural wealth of copper, nickel, iron, petroleum, gas, and salt, would make a state which the entire Union would hasten to welcome. Ontario borders upon four of the Great Lakes, upon Georgian bay, Lake St. Clair, the Detroit River, the St. Lawrence River. Its nat ural facilities for navigation In the heart of the North American continent are plethoric, and the few connecting links in the arteries of water commerce which a wearied nature had neglected art has supplied. These bodies of water are now the barriers of trade between the United States and Ontario, but were the union effected they would become. Instead, high roads. East of Ontario the Ottawa River and the St. Lawrence meet the great city of Montreal, In the province of Quebec. Mon treal combines the advantages of a sea port with an Inland port, for the St. Lawrence flows from it to the open ocean in a stream of such width and depth as to accommodate the argosies of the world, while canals enuble the barks of the five lakes to meet deep-sea ships In the con tinuous harbor which surrounds tho is land of Montreal. Quebec has a popula tion of nearly 2,000,000, noted as much for their industry and thrift as for their de testation of race suicide. Its people aro farmers, lumbermen, salt and fresh-water fishermen, sailors, manufacturers. They exhibit the same diversification of indus try and enterprise as characterizes tho Eastern States of this country. Quebec, like Ontario, will enter the Union a full fledged state. The three maritime provinces have to gether nearly 1,000,000 people lumbermen and fishermen, hardy people of the sort celebrated by Kipling in "Captains Cour ageous." The incorporation of such men and women as they are In our nation would do much to offset the hundreds of thousands of the dregs of Europe which we yearly absorb through Castle Gar den. The maritime provinces wouldnot be asked to wait for statehood, though it were well, Indeed, either for the threo to combine in one state, or else for New Brunswick and Prince Edward to unite. The latter Is small to be a separate state. Columbia, in the northwest. Is doubling its population each decade. Though Its greatest length from northwest to south west Is 1250 miles, yet Its wonderful sea coast has a length of 12,000 miles. Un developed as It is, its productions aro already a considerable proportion of the wealth of the whole dominion its mines producing one-sixth of Canadian metals. Its fisheries one-third of the Canadian catch of fish. Columbia would make a glorious capstone to tho column of Pa cific states. Its name was accorded it with prophetic vision. Manitoba has over 250,000 of inhabit ants. Its numbers are swelling In almost equal ratio with Columbia's, and two seats in the United States Senate are waiting for It. The northwestern territories of Atha basca, Assiniboia, Saskatchewan and Al berta are rapidly filling with population much of It, indeed, being American. Whether they would be required to serve 'an apprenticeship as territories Is a question which would be settled on tho same principles as were applied to almost every state In the Union except the orig inal 13. Whenever their population war ranted they would be admitted as states. Locally, the new states will have the same rights of self-government as belong to the constituent parts of the present United States. Nationally, they will have two Senators apiece at Washington and Representatives according to pop ulation. Their National legislators will have exactly that part In the formation of National legislation to which the Fed eral system of government entitles them. In the cabinet of the President will sit members from the new states, and whenever the wheel of political fortune makes the proper revolution an Inhab itant of the present Dominion of Canada will be the President of the United States. THE NEW YEAR'S OREGOXIAN Will be published on Friday morning next.
