THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN. PORTLAND. OCTOBER. 7, 1906.
IS
FOR A FIGHTER
No Candidate for Heavyweight
Honors Is in Same Class
With Champion.
WOULD JEFFRIES FIGHT?
flack O'Brien, Sam Berger and Tom
my Burns Mentioned as Possible
' Opponents, II the Big Fellow
hould He-Enter the King.
BT WILL G. MAC REA.
It must have Jarred those San Fran
cisco fight fans when Jim Jeffries turned
turtle on his statement of again enter
ing the ring. Jeff gladdened the hearts
of Jimmy Coffroth and the rest of the
fight magnates, but the wine must have
been nibbling In the glass and Jeff was
out of ear-shot of the "Mrs.", for when
he returned to Los Angeles he reversed
himself and said that he had no Inten
tion of dealing the sleep potion to Sammy
Berger, Tommy Burns. Jack O'Brien and
the rest of the pretenders to the heavy
weight championship throne.
Jeffries' retirement In the first instance
was due to his wife. The big fellow had
promised that his fight with Munroe
would ' be his Jast and he has kept his
word so far. Mrs. Jeff will make her
lord and master stick to his promise if
she can, but should some big man loom
.up and trim all the pretenders and the
buck Is passed to the big ex-boiler-
maker, and it will take more than Mrs.
Jeff to keep him from defending his
title. No second-raters need apply for a
battle with Jeffries. He Is not in need
of the money and being a big-hearted,
honest fighter, he will not lend himself
to a second Munroe affair. Of course
should some bruiser fight his way through
the second division of heavy-weights and
the press and fight fans should Intimate
that Jeff was afraid to meet him, then it
would take more more than Mrs. Jeff s
promise to keep him out of the ring.
When Jeff told Promoter Coffroth
: that ha would fight again and before
his club, Coffroth had in mind either
O'Brien, Berger or Tommy Burns.
Thse are the only fighters on the
pugilistic stage Just at present that
are claiming heavy-weight honors.
True there is Squires, of Australia,
whom Jack O'Brien was going over to
fight, and Jack Johnson. Of the lot,
because little Is known of what Squires
can do in this country. Jack Johnson
would come nearer giving Jeff an ar
gument than any claimant to heavy
weight honors.
Johnson Not to Be Considered
1 The big negro is undoubtedly the
iastest and cleverest big man In the
ring today. He Is even faster than
Jack O'Brien and that is saying a great
deal. But a fight between Johnson
and Jeffries is out of the question.
Jeff when he first broke into the busi
ness fought niggers, but when he -won
the title he hung out the sign "no
negroes need apply," and he was right
in doing so. This, however, is not the
main reason for Jeff's refusal to fight
Johnson. The big black fellow is
crooked in the first place and in the
second he is a dead rank coward. He
Is shifty, both with his hand's and
feet, but he will not stand the gaff.
When he gets stung he runs like a
Jackal. H13 last fight in San Fran
cisco was with Marvin Hart, to whom
he laid down. Johnson can whip a
dozen of the clumsy, Kentuklan's style
in a single night. All he did in this
fight was to stall, sting Hart a time
or two and then run away. Alex Greg
gains put on the fight and was referee
and because Hart appeared to do all
the leading and rushing gave him the
decision.
Johnson can whip Philadelphia Jack
O'Brien, Tommy Burns, Sam Berger and
so on down, if he would fight.
Tommy Burns long ago drew the color
line; 6o they will not hook up. Tou
couldn't drag O'Brien into the same ring
with the black with a derrick. Neither
will Berger fight Johnson. The other day
the press dispatches from the Bast an
nounced that Al Kaufman, who has side
stepped Tommy Burns, had been matched
with Johnson. Kauffman let the story get
cold for press agent purposes and then
called the match off. This is setting to
be an old trick with the California young
ster, but It is just what Sam Berger and
O'Brien are doing. The only man In the
heavy-weight division who Is doing any
thing but talking Is Tommy Burns. Burns
the other night met and defeated Flynn,
at Los Angeles. When Flynn was put
Into Queer street, another heavy-weight
champion aspirant was kicked down the
ladder. Burns went through Flynn like
a rat through a barn and the final punch
that Burns planted on his Jaw put him
out for ten minutes.
O'Brien and Berger May Met.
A week ago it looked as if Coffroth was
going to bring Jack O'Brien and Sam
Berger together, but it has ended so far
in just a lot of talk. The pair of fighters
are quibbling over the rules under which
they were to fight. Berger wants to hit
In the clinches and O'Brien wants to
break clean and this is where the fight
talk has ended. Hitting In the clinches
would be In Berger's favor, for he Is
strong and husky. In the fight that the
pair had in Philadelphia Berger did his
. best work in the clinches and this has
put O'Brien wise. With the rules calling
jor a clean break. O'Brien, with his
knowledge of the game and his clever
ness, would chop Berger to pieces. Just
as he did Al Kauffman. Coffroth may
be able to bring the pair together, but the
outlook Just now does not look very
bright.
The defeat of Eddy Hanlon by Fighting
Dick Hyland. must have been a severe
blow to Hanlon's many admirers." This
fight. should convince Hanlon that he Is
down and out and he should quit the
game before he gets killed. The boy sim
ply does not know when he is beaten and
It Is a shame for a referee to stand by
and allow a fighter to take the awful
beating that Hanlon 'received from Hy
land. Hanlon is another Sharkey and
like Sharkey he will never be able to
stand the gaff. Young Corbett and Batt,
ling Nelson gave Hanlon terrible beat
ings and the boy has never recovered and
what is more, he never will.
A flsjht that Is scheduled to take place
at Philadelphia October 16. and will at
tract the attention of the entire list of
fight fans, is the fight between Terry Mc
Govern and Toung Corbet. This will be
the third time that the pair has met, aud
the speculating Is, will Corbett make it
three straight. Another thing this fight
win prove and that Is, which of the two.
has gone farthest back. On past per
formances, the dope favors McGovern.

CLTB RIDERS FOR HCNT CLUB
All "Will Be Closed Chases Except
Thanksgiving Cup Run.
Club rides will be the feature of the
.Portland Hunt Club for the season of
1906-1907. This means that all but the
run for the handsome club trophy will
be closed chases, which -will give all
of the riders In the club a chance to
ride through. The run for the club
cup will take place on Thanksgiving
Day, and will be an open chase. This
chase has always been the Btiffest
of the Hunt Club season, and this
year, on account of the great number
of splendid thoroughbreds now owned,
by the club members, will attract; more
attention than ever.
The schedule of rides so far arranged
will consist of six club rides and the
Thanksgiving Day run. The dates fol
low: October 20. . club ride; Ndvember 3,
club ride; November 17. club ride; No
vember 29, Thanksgiving cup; Decem

me OUT OF THE GAME
ABANDONS SEARCH FOR XEW
GROUNDS AT SEATTLE.
Announcement That There Will Be
75 Days Racing Next Year Hurts
Prospects of Receipts. 4
SEATTLE. -Wash., Oct. 6. CSpXcial.) J.
P. Agnew has withdrawn from baseball
and will refuse to help finance the Seat
tle baseball team next year. He has aban
doned the search for new grounds and
today he announced that the Seattle Elec
tric Company could tear down the old
grandstand and bleachers at Recreation
Park in any manner it chose. So far as
the local baseball association is concerned
there will be no attempt to preserve the
lumber.
If Russ Hall wants to stay In the game
he can. but Agnew is through. He ex
pects the Pacific Coast League to take
over the franchise. Up to today Mr. Ag
new has been making a bluff at looking
for new grounds, but when the Republi
can County Committee got through with
the figures on political assessments and
decided the County Auditor would have
to pay $600 for the privilege of running for
office again he quit. Mr. Agnew .estimates
it will cost $3000 to build new grounds and
he cannot get that much out of the prof
Its of this season and a $2400 salary from
the county.
There is talk of putting David Edward
Dugdale in charge of next year's team
but it is not certain he would take it by
himself. If anyone wants to pay Dugdale
a salary for taking over the team the fat
person will be there to sign his name
every month.
Something that hurts is the announce
ment that there will be 75 days of racing
next year, and this means a serious cut
into baseball profits. The 60-day card
this season took the crowd away during
the week, but poured a sporting element
into the grounds on Sundays that made
the park look like a bunch out to see a
free balloon ascension. Mr. Agnew does
rot see money in sight and that is his
reason for wanting to cut loose.
It is declared here that the Californians
will insist upon putting Sacramento back
on the card in place of Fresno. The Seat
tle backers wanted a combination of three
towns, but when they had to compromise
on Fresno receipts and the previous years
failed to make good at Sacramento they
balked at a single burg In the south land
to pay visiting expenses. If one looked
around for a good excuse one might find
a bunch that had quit even on a game
they did not understand and were willing
to let go at that. Possibly this is the rea
son for all the talk of a change.
Xo Game With Fort Stevens.
Late yesterday afternoon Manager
Horan, of the Multnomah team, was
notified that the Fort Stevens team
had disbanded and that the game
scheduled with Multnomah for October
20 will not be played. The Multnomah
manager will make an effort to secure
another team for'a game October 20.
WINS TWO-YEAR OLD CHAMPIONSHIP AND $50,000
IN PURSES

f
i
THOMAS HITCHCOCK'S BELVIDERE.
At last the two-year-old championship has been decided, and the honor
goes to Thomas Hitchcock's Belvldere. One remarkable feature in connection
with the Belvldere gelding Is that he was purchased for 13700 by Thomas Hitch
cock at the dispersal sale of Captain Brown's stable. Since his arrival in the
Hitchcock stable, this youngster has captured all of his races and has won
$50,000 In purses. If he can get back to the races next year and etlll have his
speed and gameness. he will be a big factor in all of the big stakes for three- '
year-olds and also for three-year-olds and upwards. Credit for the making of
Belvldere a great two-year-old is due to John Madden! for this great trainer has
made the colt the horse that he is.
MANY SEEK CHINAS

Farmers Reported to Have Killed

There was another large oxodus of
Portland hunters last , right and this
morning for the haunts of the China
pheasant and of the duck. Many of the
hunters who went out for pheasants Mon
day last will have another try at the
birds, and still others will spend the day
knocking down ducks at the various pre
serves along the Columbia.
During the past week a number of
Portland hunters have been up the Wll-

MACK-MACK, FAMOUS TROTTER.
Mack-Mack, whosa Oregon record wa 2:15. and who has this year on the Grand Circuit been trotting in 2:09 and
2:08. was eold Thursday for $10,000 to Boston horsemen. Mack-Mack was bought by J. R. Bowles, of this city, for $1150,
Hllman,- who had been driving Mack-Mack on the Coast Circuit, has always had a high regard for the big McKInney
Balding, and was confident ho could win on the Grand Circuit, which he has done. Mack-Mack finished second in the Tran

lamette Valley after pheasants . and re
port that the birds are scarce and very
wild. Some of the shooters have been
lucky enough to kill the limit, but the
majority have been forced to return home
with only a few birds. Men who have
studied the habits of the pheasants at
tribute the scarcity to killing them during
the closed season. It Is trua that the
first brood might have been partially de
stroyed by the wet weather, but the sec
and brood should have grown up unless
the hens were killed off, for they were
hatched during the dry season.
The story that farmers were killing
off the pheasants because of the $1 hun
ters' license may have some truth to It,
but the one that they killed them off
because they ate up the planted corn,
is hardly creditable. Another story that
will not down, is that the farmers kill
off the birds to exterminate them and
thereby get rid of the hunters who hunt
over their places without permission, tear
down their fences and shoot and cripple
their livestock. It will undoubtedly sur
prise those folk who believe this sort of
a tale to learn that perhaps not one out
of ten hunters who go out after pheasants
during the open season hunt across a
man's farm without, first having per
mission to do so. The majority of hunters
who leave Portland for the haunts of the
Chinamen" have been shooting at , the
various places In the Willamette Valley
for several seasons, and always do so
upon invitation of the people upon whose
farm the birds are shot. Some of the
farmers receive payment; the majority.
I
- V
however. Issue invitations from year to
year.
If the pheasants are being killed because
of the gun license, prompt action should
be taken by the Game Warden. The old
plea of no funds is no longer an excuse
for the lackof game protection. Not only
Is there ample fund to pay the Game
Warden, but there are also ample funds
with which to conduct the prosecutions.
It hardly seems probable' that farmers
object to paying the $1 for a gun license.
The city hunter, who gets about three or
four days a year to hunt in, has not
objected to paying the price.
DOO ANDERSON TO OFFICIATE
Famous Umpire Baiter Will Himself
Hold Indicator in Game.
Once more this season the umpire's
voice will howl, "Play ball." This time
it will be Doc Anderson who will shatter
the Sabbath stillness and the shattering
will take place this afternoon at the
baseball park. No' baseball fan In town
has protested louder and as often as
Doo Anderson at the decisions of um
pires. There isn't a fan in Portland
who hasn't heard Doc Anderson yell:
"Ah, come out of it. Lou! That one
was straight over! Come out of it and
give us a few of those close ones; we
need 'em Just as bad as the other fel
lows! Get in the game, Lou; what's
the matter?"
This Is the line of junk that Doe Is
always peddling: out to umpires. This
afternoon he will get his, and .will
know how it sounds. The lineup of
the team follows:
Schlllers Slavin, catcher; French,

FRESHMEN SHOW UP WELL
FIRST SCRIMMAGE OF YEAR AT
OREGON UNIVERSITY.
All the Collegians Are Out to See
the Candidates at
Practice.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene,
Oct. 6. (Special.) Every student in
college was on the bleachers yesterday
when Coach Bezdek lined up his men
for the first scrimmage of the year.
Enthusiasm and college spirit was
rampant for the time,, but as the play
ers lined up against each other, the
cheering ceased and the plays were
followed with an Intent Interest. Three
full teams were running through sig
nal nraf.fl. .,,- . 1 A ti a
squads were used In the scrimmage
work. v
Among those who showed up espe
cially well were Captain "Bill" Chand
ler and Gordon Moores, last year's
ends; Dudley Clark, the Portland Acad
emy boy, who is trying for halfback;
and Harry Pinkham, ex-captain of the
Portland High School eleven, at tackle.
The scrimmage work lasted an hour
and Coach Bezdek expressed himself as
pleased, especially with the work of
the freshmen.
The varsity rooters were Jubilant
last night over the return of Olln Arn
spigex, the crack left tackle. Arn
splger has been but with a surveying
party; and returns to college in splen
did condition. Another veteran who is
getting Into the game again is Fred
Moullen, the punting guard, who re
turned to college last week. Moullen
underwent a severe illness during the
Summer, but is rapidly regaining his
normal strength and weight.
Bob Hammond, substitute guard and
end on last season's team, will return
to college next week, but Mclntyre,
last year's right guaTd, will not be
back until February 1. George Hug,
the regular varsity center, is trying
out for right tackle, and McKInney is
a candidate for fullback.
Bob Obbertauffer. a recruit from last
season's second team, is showing up
well at halfback, and Latourette is
handling the team efficiently from his
quarterback position. Among the new
men who are showing good form in the
line are Gillis. of Baker City, and Scott,
of Pendleton.
After the game with Astoria, Octo
ber 20, Coach Bezdek will select his
men for the Idaho game, which will be
played at Moscow, October 26. The
Oregon men have heard of. the prepar
ations that are being made by Coach
Griffith and his assistants, and they
will go to Moscow fully prepared for
one of the hardest games of the sea
son. Captain Chandler and his men
believe that Astoria will -give them a
very hard game, and as a consequence,
the squad will -do some hard training:
during the next two weeks.

It's On Again, Off Again With
the O'Brien-Berger Match
These Days.
DISPUTE OVER THE TERMS
Eddie Hanlon Realizes He Is a Has
Been and Quits the Game
" Beavers Recognized Ball
Champions.
BT HARRY B. SMITH.
SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 6. It's on
again,, oft again, with Philadelphia Jack
O'Brien and Sam Berger these days. One
moment you think they are matched and
the next you a.re informed that there 13
not a chance in the world. Regular case
of hide and go seek. Now you aee it
and now you don't. For several weeks
past the two fighters have been doing
some long-range shouting with no result
and they kept it up until Fight Promoter
Jimmy Coffroth threw up his hands in
despair and announced that he would
quit.
First it was the financial question.
O'Brien wanted 60 per cent. win. lose or
draw, because of his standing' in the
world. Berger wanted the same thing
and asserted that, being a local man. he
would be a big drawing card. As that
would make 20 per cent more than could
be secured, it was easy to see there would
have to be some sort of an arrangement.
O'Brien agreed to cut the money 50 and
50 per cent, and a sigh of relief went up.
There was still one more question to
be considered. In the Chicago articles
O'Brien contended for a clean break
away. Berger agreed at that time, but
when he arrived in California Insisted
that there must be a clause that would
permit each man to protect himself in
the breakaway. For days they have hag
gled over this clause and last night the
two men decided they could not come to
terms. Coffroth announced that he would
not handle the fight if there was to be
a clean break and threw up his hands.
Eddie Graney has stepped into the
breach and will endeavor to get some
sort of a match for O'Brien. Of course
little Eddie would like Sara Berger, but
failing in that he will put on some other
heavyweight, and it is intimated that
Tommy Burns, who beat Flynn in Los
Angeies in is rounds, will have a chance.
lhC.SIB"rtaa would ?ave anr
show of winning, but tor want of a better
opponent he might do.
Poor little Eddie Hanlon is down and
out. and Cute realizes it better than any
one else. His defeat at the hands of
Hyland was thorough. After the fight
Eddie said that he would never appear
In the ring again. The statement was
passed up at the time, as It was thought
that he had come out In the bitterness
of the moment. That he meant what he
said -was Indicated the following day
when he reiterated his remarks. Hanlon
had lost his science and his strength and
was easy picking. Hyland has much to
learn of the boxing game if he would
be a winner in the lightweight ranks.
He has the punch and If he gets into the
hands of a clever man might make good.
His next trial will be against Cyclone
Thompson, a Los Angeles youngster, who
won on a foul in nine rounds a few weeks
ago. Hyland claims that Tommy Burns,
who was the referee, robbed him of the
light, and the report Indicates that Hy
land was winning all the way up to the
close. The match will probably take
place next week at Colma.
There is nothing startling in baseball
circles In California these days. Port
land is so far in the lead by this time
that there Is not the slightest chance to
lose the Beavers, and they will win in
a walk. Despite the hold that McCredie's
men have on the pennant they are de
termined to keep up the winning streak,
and the way the boys have been pulveriz
ing Los Angeles this week is . a shame.
They have been hitting the ball like
fiends and deserve first place honors.
The Portland management should insist
upon one thing next season. It is that
San Francisco play on home grounds.
There will never be any money made play
ing in Oakland and interest in the game
will never pick up. Not to speak of the
expense, few San Francisco people can
spare the time to make the long trip to
Idora every afternoon, and in consequence
they stay away from the park. With
grounds on the right side, the attendance
would be more than doubled and every
pern

team in the league would receive part of
the benefit. The old grounds at Eighth and
Hattlson streets can be secured for a
fair sum, considering rents these days, and
some move should be made by Cal Ewlng
and that In a hurry.
The California State League is receiv
ing all the attention. San Jose and Stock
ton are having a close race for first place
and with one game between them, enthu
siasm, is at white heat. All the state
league teams are grabbing players of note
whenever they have a chance. Stricklett
may be on hand this coming Sunday to
play against Stockton for San Jose.
Charlie Baum. the Los Angeles pitcher,
who was with Altoona In the outlaw
league, is at home and last Sunday
pitched for Sacramento. Baum brings
news of a number of the old California
players who are In the East and says that
Charlie Shields. ex-Portland. ex-Seattle,
has been making a great name for him
self. Doc Moskiman was also one of the
week's arrivals. Moskiman pitched for
the Jersey City team in the Eastern
League and reports a good season. He
says that his eyes gave out on him toward
the close, of the year, which accounted for
the fact that he did not hit the ball as
hard as he had done in the past.
Weston Outplays Walla Walla.
"WESTON STATION. Or., Oct. 6. (Spe
cial.) Weston Normal school defeated
the Walla Walla High School In the first
football game of the season this afternoon
by a score of 14 to 0. Weston clearly
outplayed their opponents and showed
more familiarity with new rules, especial
ly in punting. Touchdowns were made for
Weston by Fleen6r and Rock.
DUCKBOATS ARE CROWDED
MANY NIMRODS LEAVE FOR
HUNTING PRESERVES.
Good Flight -of Feathered Game Is
Anticipated Along the Lower
Columbia Today.
The duck boats leaving down the Co
lumbia for favored shooting spots were
crowded with hunters last night. A week
ago duck hunters were few and .far be
tween, as nearly all the nlmrods were
6torlng up energy and ammunition for
the advent of the pheasant season. Be
sides, weeks of good weather had not
brought in many ducks.
However, after the three days of storms
which marked the fore part of the past
week confidence is felt that there will
be something of a flight today. Reports
from the coast Indicate that the storms
were heavy where the feathered tribes
have been holding out and probably haa
the effect of driving large numbers of
birds to the shelter of Sauvies Island and
neighboring preserves. The really good
shooting will not come, though, until
there Is a week of genuine rain and wind
to drive cold-weather birds off the coast.
The flight thus far has been most of
wood duck, with an occasional bunch
of mallard and sprig. A dDzen birds to
the hunter is a good bag just now, but
when the widgeon and late birds come
In the hunter who falls to get a limit
bag of 50 on any of the well-kept pre

fellow sportsmen.

TTJG OF WAR TOURNAMENT.
West Side Team Wins and Weinhard
Team Is a Good Second.
The tug-of-war contest which was held
at the Tivoli Garden was won by the
West Side team with the Weinhard team
a bang-up second. Several contests were
held during the day. and the evening was
spent in dancing. Ingemar Westrom, cap
tain of the West Side team, sprung a sur
prise on the rest of the tuggers by gath
ering together the Swedish champions of
last season's tournament, and their per
fect form and knowledge of the sport
easily won for them the contest and the
handsome Henry Kahn gold medal. Cap
tain Hauser, of the Weinhard team, was

anchor man to take his place on the

in his sailor team, and they will, with
practice, prove themselves formidable
pullers.
