THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, FORTLAM), SEPTEMBER 15, 1907. r BRITT MEETS HIS MASTER S Fight, However, Does Not Nec essarily Mean His Retirement. WANTS GO WITH NELSON Challenge Will Follow In Due Time. Battle Now Being Arranged Be tween Baltimore Black and Battling Nelson. BY W. J. PETRAIN. The Gans-Britt 'fight is over, and the best man won. Though the aspect of the contest was not as favorable as it should have been, it nevertheless has been demonstrated that the black boy is the real champion among the light weights. The cry of fraud has been raised since the event was pulled off, and no doubt there were incidents con nected with the affair which furnish grounds for questioning. But on this score there are none who question the ability of the victor. It is the actions of the defeated aspirant for the title that are open to censure. Immediately after he Jumped to the center of the ring and announced that he could fight no longer, Britt disap peared in his dressing-room, where but a few of his personal attendants, in cluding his faithful brother, Wlllus, were permitted. When he emerged he was wearing one arm In a sling, and it was announced that he had sustained a fracture. Perhaps he did break his arm. But even If he did, the colored lad easily demonstrated during the short time the bout lasted that he was Brltfs master. Gans clearly demonstrated this, and even the most rabid admirers of the native son have to admit that their hero was outclassed, and by the colored champion at that. The Cali fornia sports who have sworn by Jim my Britt for years; who have adhered to his cause even when he was honestly defeated; who have belittled any and every one who has seen fit to announce an opinion adverse to the California champion, are now quoted as admit ting that their vaunted peer of light weights has met his master. And that master Is none other than Joe Gans, the colored fighter from Baltimore, who has been called a "'has been" by the San Francisco sports, and who was about to enter his last con test in a roped arena, according to the FUmore-atrect version before his match with Britt. Peter Grant, who witnessed the re cent fiasco between Britt and Gans, Informed me that he could readily un derstand why Britt got the better of Battling Nelson in their recent meet ing. Grant says that Britt has devel oped considerably since he first saw him several years ago, and that he has filled out and possesses more stamina than when he first blossomed out as a champion. But Britt Is now among the down and out. Yet it Is not certain that he will not shortly ' bob up se renely for another match with Bat tling Nelson. This guess has a basis, for, as pre dicted in this column several ' weeks ago or, to be exact, Immediately after the Britt-Nelson contest another match Is now In the profess of ar rangement between Bat. and the Balti more boy. Billy Nolan, the animated nuisance of the fistic game, has intruded him self on the public again as Nelson'a manager, and Is endeavoring to ar range another match between his man and the colored fighter. So far his ef forts In this line have failed, but this does not mean that his wish Is hope less for Gans Is at present living like a lord on the proceeds of his recent vic tory and can afford to Ignore fellows like Nolan for the time being. Short ly, however, it is likely that he will have occasion to look to his bank ac count, and when he begins to run short of coin It may be expected that he will see Mr. Nolan and again trim the "Bat tling" Dane. This plan may also be said to In clude Jimmy Britt, for as soon as the supposedly Injured arm has time to heal Britt will again issue a "defy" to the lightweights of the country and a match should then be In order between the Californlan and Nelson. The Brltt-Nelson-Gans Bunk Associ ation can be expected to thrive until some merciful auto driver or streetcar pilot kindly comes up with the princi pals on the highway and gently lifts them Into a hospital or renders it nec essary for the followers of each mem ber of the trio to chant that endearing anthem: "There He Lies" or "How Nat ural He Looks." The next bait with which the scrap promoters are to decorate their hooks will probably be the second introduc tion of "Australian Bill" Squires. Bill made his debpt some time back, but. unfortunately, placed his Jaw In con tact with a right handy wallop before the assemblage had even time to get a glimpse of his manly and said-to-be well-muscled form. As he took the sleeping potion so hurriedly it is as serted that lie should have another chance to redeem himself. Squires should be an excellent sleeper, and In view of the large number of would-be pugs being introduced It does not ap pear just that he should be deprived of the Britt-Nelson privilege of securing a return match. Squires may be better as a heavy weight than either of those worthies are as lightweights, and If the pro moters happen to be in any doubt as to a good match for the Australian they might arrange a go between him and Gans. A difference of 30 or 40 pounds in weight should not make any difference to Gans, in view of the easy time he has had with the "premiers" in his own class. According to the dope sent out by the scrap promoters in San Francisco,- Squires Is scheduled to hook up with "Twin" Sullivan in the near future. If Squires really has any fighting ability and Judging from his Australian rec ord he surely should have he ought to whip Sullivan within a short time. His bout with Burns will naturally de tract from his popularity with the fight fans, but to my notion the scrap between Squires and Sullivan ought to be a hummer while It lasts. Sullivan is not the fighter Burns Is, and while the latter Is no great man, though he claims the championship, he was just clever enough to get to the Australian before the latter had a chance to size up the situation. Should they meet again. Burns will not have such an easy thing, and as he is per fectly cognizant of this, he is not anxious to again meet the man from over the broad Pacific. As the Squires-Sullivan battle will likely be the next on tue programme, we might as well await the outcome with all the patience we can muster, for there Is nothing else In sight at present worth an argument. m LANDTEAMTO T BE STRENGTHENED McCredies Take Time by the Forelock and Begin to Search for Talent. MAY SELL AN INTEREST FOOTBALL AT WHITMAN. Prospects Are ' Bright CoacTi and Captain Ready for Work. WHITMAN COLLEGE, Walla Walla, Sept. 15. (Special.) Football prospects are looking bright at Whitman College, and it seems quite probable that her team will maintain the steady rate of improve ment that it has experienced since Whit man held the "cellar championship" in 1904. Coach Balrd returned this after noon, and although many of the team have not yet arrived practice Is to begin Immediately. Captain Dlmlck, the All-Northwest tackle of last year, is already here. Phll brook. the other tackle, Slgsby. fullback, and Spagle, end are expected back soon. Borleske, Dutcher, L. Perlnger and Schmidt, of last year's team are already on the ground. Lyman and K. Perlnger are expected later in the year, though be fore the football season closes. The four most promising new men are Cooke, Brubaker, Belt, and S. Borleske. Cooke has played In the Portland Aca demy team for three years, and weighs in the neighborhood of 200 pounds. He will amply fill Gilbreath's place at center. Bru baker has the reputation pf being one of the best quarters in the Middle West. He Is the brother of Whitman's chemistry professor, and comes to Whitman from Carleton College, Minnesota, where he learned the new style of football last year. S. Borleske and Belt come from the Spo kane High School. "Bnck" Keith, Once Baseball Mag nate In Omaha. Anxious to Buy Into Local Club Plans for the Season of 1008. BY. W. J. PETRAIN- But two weeks more of baseball re main to be played on the Vaughn-street grounds, after which the Portland team will depart for the Southland and put in tne nnal six weeks on California aoil. The Portland champions of last year are but cellar dwellers this season. They are hopelessly lost, but It Is safe to say that the team representing this city next sea son will not bo so at least not if money and talent pan nrevent it The McCredies are already reaching uui. iiner taient, ana Dy the time the series with San Francisco this week is Well fl.dvAnrri fftlll- nan, nlnva.. ...

W. McCredle In control of the Portland baseball club. Matthew Keith, better known in the baseball worM nn "Riinlr ' la an-ln... Invest In baseball on the Pacific Coast, and since he ha3 lived In Portland for three years and has tAk-pn nnr-h a living to the Rose City, he Is especially de sirous of becoming Interested financially m Liiw roniana 5aseoau y-iuo. Keith was f nrm prl v mnnncHna. stwna- of the Omaha Baseball Club, and it was unaer nis management that Outfielder Stone and other hi? leaeue m1a.rn wpt-a de veloped. While in Omaha Keith always had a club well up In the running, and as he now calls Portland -his heme, he is desirous of showing the Portland fans his fine Italian hand in handling balltossers. When asked whether he would consider an offer from Keith for a half interest In the Portland club. Judge McCredle replied: 'Certainly. We will consider anv nron- osltlon in that line, and If the offer Is satisfactory we will sell half the club. We already have several offers, but as yet we have not had time to look Into them." In referring to next season's circuit- Judge McCredle said that Portland would De In the Pacific Coast League, but lust how the circuit would be arranged he could not predict. He announced, how ever, that J. Cal Ewlng would be in Port land next week, and at that time they. wouia oiscuss tne coming season. When Ewlng arrives McCredle will ad- I vocate the formation of an eight-club league, which is the result of considerable thought and figuring on the part of the local magnate. A strictly Coast league will be advocated by McCredle, which will probably Include "Vancouver, B. C, Seat tle. Tacoma and Portland In the North, and San Francisco, Los Angeles. Oak land and another city in the South. Though this circuit Is believed to be the one that will be advocated by the Portland chief, he would not admit that such was the case, and aside from saying that he would "stand for an all-Coast league to Include eight clubs," he would not talk. .J. R. Bender, the well-trained ball tosser who has been playing; on the Port land team during the past two months, under the name of Burdette, Is a catcher and belongs to the Philadelphia National League team. That is one of the reasons why he leaves the Portland team today and will go to Whitman College at Walla Wallah Wash., where he is to coach the football, baseball, basket-ball and track teams during the next nine months. Bender, or Burdette as he is known here, was a star player of the Uhlversity of Nebraska, and shone not only on he diamond, but on the gridiron as well. He was signed by .the Omaha club of the Western League when he left college, and played such a fine game there that he attracted the attention of the major leagues. Philadelphia secured him from the Lincoln Club, to which organization he had been transferred by Omaha. Bur dette refused to go to the Quaker vil lage and elected to become a coach and play ball during the Summer when occa sion offered. He secured a berth with Spokane in the Northwestern League, but had been In but three games when Secretary Farrell of the National Association, notified the Spokane management to cease playing Bender. Bender then came to Portland, and under the name of Burdette has made a host of friends here who are sorry to see him go. Judge McCredle had no knowledge of Burdette's Identity and has received no order to discontinue us ing him. Burdette Is merely quitting the team to take up coaching at Whitman and this afternoon will witness his fare well appearance for the season. He may De secured rrom Philadelphia bv the trad lng of one of the men the Portland team Is to get .from Boston, but this Is not likely, for Bender has signed a contract with the Washington college which will keep him there until next June. The Beavers are scheduled to play a game at Kelso tomorrow, when they will meet the Tigers of the TrI-City League in a .natch game. On a recent visit to Kalama Judge McCredle was besieged by an eager delegation of Kelso fans, who earnestly requested that the Port land team play a game in their town on an off day, and the genial jurist finally acceded to their wishes. Therefore the Beavers will go to the Washington town tomorrow. HuRSE EARNS MORE TUSTHUMMtS James R. Keene's Income for Year From Colin, Winner of Futurity, $97,530. MAY EACH KILL OXE ELK Hunting Season Lasts for One Month Only. Today, September 13. all ye huntsmen who pride yourselves on your ability to lay low the festive an tiered beast com monly known as elk are permitted to en- Joy the sport of shooting one lone mem ber of the species between this date and October 15. This Is the first year since 1902 that it has been lawful to kill elk In the State of Oregon, for at that time the Legislature passed an act which prohibited the shoot ing of elk within the confines of the State of Oregon and provided that the act should hold good for five years. It also provided that at the end of five years It would be permissible for each hunter to kill one elk between the above mentioned dates, and any huntsman who shall kill more than one Is liable to a fine of from $100 to JoOOO, and a strict watch Is to be kept, by the game wardens throughout the state. During the period the animals have been protected from slaughter they are said to have Increased In number to a wonderful extent, and by limiting each hunter to one animal during the open season it is believed that they will not be thinned -out to any great extent. TWICE PRESIDENT'S PAY Few Men In Public or Private Life Find Business So Profitable as the Owner of This 2-Year-Old Colt. NEW YORK, Sept. 2. (Special.) Colin, a 2-year-old colt, earned $27,530 for James R. Keene, his owner, on Saturday at Sheepshead Bay. This brings up the total of this horse's earnings for his master for the year's racing season to date to $97,630. These winnings make a record for a single horse in any year In this country. The next best was Keene's great horse Sysonby, who did not come as a 2-year- old within J10.000 of Colin s winnings. Colln's estimated "earnings" for the season are about twice what the Nation pays the President of the United States for his salary, although the people also give their President a handsome and ex pensive holne to live lir besides. They are ten times the salary of the Governor of New York, who gets $10,000 and an official residence. The Mayor of New York draws $15,000. . Only Trust Heads as Well Paid. Few bank presidents draw $50,000 sal ary. The salary of the president of the Equitable Life Assurance Company was $100,000 before the exposure of corrup tion in Insurance, and the present presi dent of that great institution now has to be content with $75,000. Some college professors draw more than $5000 a year, but they are few. The pastor of a very rich congregation thinks he Is well paid If he draws $10,000, and mighty few get that. One has to look among the sal aries paid by the greatest trusts, like the Steel Corporation, to find any man's sal ary on the pay-roll equal to the earnings of Keene's colt. What the race horse had to do for his" money does not begin to compare with the' services required of the two- legged creatures who draw the lesser sums. The horse has to take enough exercise dally to keep in good condition, and then a dozen or more times In a year carry a saddle and a light-weight boy at as fast a gallop as he can go for somewhat less than a mile. Xot Altogether Sound. Colin had to endure some touches of the whip in his races and trials which the two-legged folk who earn less would not like, and he has to run when he Is not altogether sound. He has what the veterinarians call a "thorough-pin." That Is a swelling of one of his hocks. Horse men are not agreed as to whether or no this ailment hurts him when he runs. The colt makes no sign of pain, but thoroughbreds are game and his hocks may hurt Intensely when he is exerting himself to his utmost. But that Is all he has to do for his master, except eat his oats and be a horse. Colin does not get much for all the money he earns. It is doubtful If he costs Keene more to keep than $3 a day. Colin has an exercise boy and a rubber two servants who do nothing but look after him. The rubber, a negro named Mar shall, may draw $30 or $40 a month and his board. His feed and the other stable expenses are divided among the other horses. Colin eats no more than the poorest race horse in Keene's stable, for it costs as much to keep a poor horse as a good one. The other expenses Include the veterinary surgeon, who has to bandage and bathe that unsound hock. Colln's first cost to his owner was comparatively small. Keene bought the dam, Pastorella, for $10,000. He owned Commando, his sire, who was a profit- In 1he ftWi''.)e. ' U, JM '' . "J. ' . . ' nBssHaaB-a ssssnss-as- V V .
