Annual Election of Directors
February 11 With Two
Tickets in Field.
ATHLETES ARE BEHIND ONE
Tlioy Vo .Not Indorse All Selections
or Nominating Committee uiul '
"aino Candidates Favor
able to Their Cause.
The approaching annual election at
the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club
promises to be the most lively affair
ot the kind In the history of Portland's
famous athletic organization. Not in
the last 10 years has there been as
much Interest displayed in the event,
and for that matter, neither has there
been more than one ticket in the field.
Among the athletic body of the in
stitution, or to be exact, among the
members who are actively engaged in
athletics, there has been a growing:
feeling that, the club is gradually
drifting almost from athletics because
of its social . tendencies, and on that
account the athletes got together and
decided to promulgate an opposition
ticket to that named by the regular
nominating board.
It is customary, according to the by
laws of the club, for the board of di
rectors, of which there are 11, to name
a nominating committee, and the duties
of this committee arc to place in nom
ination the required number c,f names
to All the vacancies likely to occur
at the annual election. Heretofore
there have been but few instances
when the names selected by the nom
inating committee have been opposed
at the election, and in the last 10 years
there lias been no instance. The ath
letes got together this year and rati
fied three, of the regulars named by
the nominating committee and selected
three others more favorable to them to
complete the ticket of six candidates
for the directorate.
The campa'ign that Is being waged
for and against each ticket is one of
the most strenuous that ever took
place In any alhletlc or social club.
The leaders oX the "regular" and "ath
letic " tickets, as they are known, are
working tooth and nail to accomplish
the election of their respective candi
dates, and it is safe to predict that on
election night, February 11, there will
be a larger attendance of the .club
members than the institution has en
joyed for many years.
"Itegulars" Drop V. K. Walking.
In an effort at reprisal the "regulars"
sprang a surprise on the "athletes"
yesterday, by dropping their advocacy
of the nomination of Frank K. Watkins.
ami instead have placed the name of
Rev. A. A. Morrison on their ticket.
Iir. Morrison was nominated by the
"athletes." and so was Mr. 'Watkins,
but in spite of the switch the cam
paigners of the latter ticket express
their utmost conlidence .in the election
of their entire ticket. .
As matters stand at present Ir. Mor
rison will head both tickets, lie Is an
earnest advocate of clean athletics and
will undoubtedly prove a valuable- ad
dition to the club directorate, no matter
which ticket is successful. As the
tickets stand at- present they are as
follows; Regulars Dr. A. A. Morrison,
George W. Simons, Irving Kohr, .1. F.
Kwing, B. D. Sigler and llal Kasch.
Athletic. Rev. A. A. Morrison. Frank
K. Watkins, Martin Pratt. 1:. I . Sigler,
l'an Bellinger am Hal Kasch.
Among the names promulgated' on the
athletic, ticket is that of Martin Pratt,
who announces that he is not a candi
date, but in spite of this denial, his
. admirers arc confident that he will be
elected, and. In that event, believe that
he wiil accept. Pratt's evident desire
that his name be not used by the ath
letes is due to the fai t that ho was a
member of the committee which nom
v Innted the regular ticket and there
fore he. is. not desirous of becoming a
candidate, against one of the men
whom he helped place in nomination.
A question that will likely be decided
at the meeting of the board of direct
ors Tuesday night is whether the mem
bers of the club yho merely hold ath
letic membership cards are .entitled to
vote at the' election. According to the
bylaws of the club it is optional with
the bOrtid of directors whether this per
mission Is granted them or not, and in
order to insure ' the success of their
ticket, and also in justice to athletes
who have worked faithfully for the
club, an- effort ts being made to have
this permission granted for the coming
election.
The principal precedent brought to
bear on tho directors to secure this
concession is the fact that II. W. Ker
rigan, at the time lie was chosen
director, was merely an athletic mem
ber. Other athletic members have been
similarly honored by the club, but this
particular Instance is cited on account
of the valuable services rendered the
clul) by Kerrigan, and it Is urged that
there are many other athletes as cap
able as he who are entitled to consid
eration. McMillan May Be Ke-clected.
CSvorge W". McMillan is being urged
as a possible candidate for re-election
to tlio presidency of the club, and is
favored by both factions, but whether
he will be prevailed upon to assume
the duties for another term cannot be
announced at this time, for he is non
committal. However there is plenty of
time to consider this matter, as the
now directors to he chosen next week
ami the five holdovers will have to
choose the officers of the organiza
tion. T. Morris Dunne, who was mentioned
last week as one of tile promoters of
the athletic campaign, announces- that
he was not cognizant of the move until
after the.names had been promulgated.
"1 beMeve," said Mr. Dunne, "that it is
a goo.i thing for the club to have two
tickets in the field, but I have had
nothing to do with either faction.
Naturally. I favor the advancement of
athletics, but as for promoting opposi
tion to the candidates proposed bv the
nou.inuting committee I have not been
active In any way. The two tickets
will create renewed interest In the club,
?nd I believe ic would prove beneficial
in other ways."
Mr. Dunne1 has been a member of the
board of directors for four years and
retires after the coming election.
CKKSCK.MS IN' SECOND TLACK
Ileal Hornets lour Goals to One in
Last City Soccer League Game.
Playing on a frozen Held, where falls
meant cuts and bruises, tho Crescents
and Hornets ended the city league se
ries of "OT-'OS in association football
yesterday afternoon, the former win
ning by 1 goals to 1. The weather was
so cold that only a handful of enthu
siasts turned out to see the match.
The Crescents won the toss and set
out to pile up as heavy a score as pos
sible in the first half, when a strong
wind was in their favor. Aided by a
little slipshod work by Keith, the Hor-
! -net goalkeeper, they rolled through
three goals, without having been en
dangered themselves.
The Hornets pressed hard in efforts
to even the score in the, second half,
but good work by Rylance, Jago. Oum
mings and Challis kept them from get-
l ting results, except when J. K. Mackie
deceived Cummings with a beautiful
dropping shot, just inside the upper
lefthand corner of the goal.
Hughes and J. K. Mackie were the
pick of the Hornet defense, both win
ning considerable applause. Of the oth
ers, Harry Matthew and Stevenson did
well. For the winners, Kilpack and
Hanson, of the forwards, were con
spicuous and while nearly all the de
fense men were effective, Rylance
shone, his kicking being pretty, as well
as effective.
Dick, of the champion Columbias"
right wing, was referee.
Iceboating In Fashion.
NEW YORK, Feb. 1. Great South

two localities will be sailed.
PRESTIGE JN EUROPE
REGARD 1XR AMERICAN'S WON'
BY DE.WKY' AN'D SLOAN".
Admiral Proved We Can Fight, and
Jockey Demonstrated We
Know How to Ridet
New York World.
"To Tod Sloan and the Spanish-American
War ir due the credit of forcing
Kuropcans to appreciate the power and
possibilities of tho American people,"
suid J. S. McDonald, the well-known
horseman, who knows this continent like
a book, to a World reporter at the Wal
dorf yesterday.
"It may seem peculiar," he continued,
"to conjoin the name of the ex-jockey
with the feat of arms jvhieh placed
this country among the' leading military
nations of the World, but I think I can
justify my so doing. Europeans refuse
to accept with respect any people who
do not excel in the very things in which
they themselves are, or consider them
selves:, pre-eminent.
"Before 'tho Spanish-American War
Americans were regarded in Kuroiie
simply as spendthrifts who had accu
mulated ' vast fortunes and went to
Kurope to spend them. Genuine respect
and admiration for . our people and
their qualities were entirely absent.
There was. of course, a subserviency on
the part of certain people which tlie
lavish expenditure of money always. in
duces. "With the Spanish-American War the
people of Kurope. sat up and began to
take notice of us. Kvery nation in
Kuropo naturally thinks itself the most
warlike and valorous on the face of
the earth. With Dewey's victory in
Manila.- Bay and tho crushing of the
Spanish fleet at Santiago. Buropeans
began to say 'These Americans can't be
entirely devoid of good qualities, be
cause they can tight they are soldiers
and sailors like ourselves.' American
prestige at once took an upward jump.
"When Tod Sloan began to ride abroad
tho idea that any ojie could teach the
hJnglish anything new In racing, was
regarded as worse than ridiculous. The
Knglish had been in the racing game
for so long and had such confidence
both in their horses and methods that
until recently any foreign horse enter
ing an- Kngllsh race was given an ad
vantage of 14 pounds.
"Sloan came, saw and conquered.
With ills peculiar method of riding and
his superior horsemanship, he secured
seemingly impossible victories- witli
horses that wore -regarded as having no
chance of being in the money. Soon
the other Knglish riders began to imi
tate him. Now tho best riders- in the
world, not only in Kngland, but through
out the Continent, . have adopted his
style.
"As a result of Sloan's revelation
Knglish racing men began to regard
Americans with more respectful eyes.
The Americans had taught them things
about the game of which they thought
they, knew all. The impression, spread
throughout tho Continent, and today
wherever racing obtains, in England,
France, -Germany, Hungary, Russia
and - Italy, not only is tho American
style, of riding in vogue, but American
plates, American saddles and American
methods of training have been adopted.
"It was Sloan who was the pioneer.
Sloan was tho crupader, others have
carried on his propaganda, but to him
rightly belongs the credit.
"America may send abroad shiploads
of Ambassadors and men of letters and
science, but their influence is limited
and has little effect on the masses of
the people. A victory of an American
horseman or an American sportsman in
a game which a foreign people regard
themselves as past masters at, does
more to make that people appreciate
and respect Americans than all the
flowery speeches of t'le 'blood is thicker
than water' and that type made by all
the diplomats and prominent publicists
who ' have ever been sent abroad by
this country.
"That is why I say that to Tod 'Sloan,
relegated to oblivion as he now is, and
the Spanish-American War is due the
credit of making Americans respected
abroad. The war showed we could
fight. Sloan showed them how to ride.
Think it over and sec jf there is not
merit in my contention."
Effect or Reciprocity on West.
CHICAGO, Feb. 1. "Seventy.five mil
lion dollars of foreign gold pouring
into the Middle West annually, will be
one of the first fruits of .reciprocity
treaties with France and Germany," de
clared Alvin H. Sanders, president of
the American Reciprocal Tariff League,
yesterday. Mr. Sanders is one of the
committee of 30 or more, which will
leave Chicago tomorrow for Washing
ton to call upon the President in the in
terest of tariff revision and reciprocity.
The passing of the Beveridge bill will
be urged providing for a nonpartisan
commission of five experts to investi
gate the tariff and report a scientific
and equitable revision of schedules to
the next Congress, thus taking the
question out of politics.
"What we want." Mr. Sanders went
on, "is such commercial relations as
will enable Westerm farmers to supply
food products to the millions" of Eu
rope: Both Germany and France are
ready to do business with us upon this
proposition
Sharp Drop in Lumber.,
VANCOUVER, B. C. Feb. 1. (Spe
cial.) Lumber prices in Vancouver for
practically all grades for .building pur
poses, have dropped $5 per thousand
feet. This action was taken to meet
the lessening in rate announced for
shipments for export. The reduction in
the latter, however, did not approxi
mate more than half of the amount'
named today. Stocks of lumber are
very large in nearly all the mills of
British Columbia.
STRONG NINE FOR
Tl
University Plans Fight for the
Championship of the Pa
cific Northwest. '
M'CREDIE WILL COACH MEN
Only Four of Last Year's Team Lost
by Graduation, and Some Promis
ing Xew Material Will Try for
Positions This Season.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene,
Feb. 1. (Special.) The outlook for a
strong baseball team . at the University
of Oregon for the approaching season is,
at the present time, very promising. Of
the 15 men composing last year's squad
only four are missing, Beck, pitcher;
Johnson, catcher; Kelly, catcher, all of
whom graduated, and Sid Smith, outfleld
er. - who did not return to- college and
who will manage the Eugene city team
of the Lane County League for the sea
son of 1908.
Walter McCredie, manager and right
fielder of the Portland Beavers has been
engaged as coach,' and will- be with the
varsity team from about the middle of
February until the Pacific Coast League
training season opens some time . in
March. Manager Frank Mount, of the
varsity team, is being congratulated on
all sides for his wise choice and good,
fortune in securing such .an efficient in
structor for tile nine. MeCredie has
agreed to coach the team for his ex
penses, and will take advantage of his
position at the university to get his regu
lar Spring workout, so as to be in good
shape by the time the Pacific Coast
League season begins.
Oregon had an exceptionally strong
fielding team last 'yeaT. .but the players
seemed to be weak at the bat when base
hits were most urgently needed. Special
attontion- will be given this year to the
development of a heavy hitting team.
Oregon's infield of last year remains
intact "and consists .of Captain . lick
Hathaway, third base; Dudley Clarke,
shortstop; "Sharkey" Houston, second
base, and ex-Captain FJmer D. Paine,
on the intial sack. While this combina
tion is a very strong one, it will prob
ably be somewhat changed before the
season opens, as it is known that there
are several new crack infielders in tho
university and" some of the old then may
have to travel to hold down their former
Jobs.
Among tho new men is Curtis Cole
man, tut Salem, who played on tho Wil
lamette University team for several sea
sons and who is known as a very nifty
man with tho glove and bat. . He has
been offered berths with different fast
professional teams, and it is known that
he will make someone hurry for an in
field position.
Of the outfielders ef last year's team
there are Kestley and Ramp, who will
undoubtedly be found at their old stands
since they have played on the varsity for
several years. Many second-team men
will be candidates for the outfield and
quite a number of new men have signified
their intention of making a -try for it.
Among the new men likely to make a
good run for positions in this department
are: Stackpole, Hill Military Academy.
'05; Hinkle, of Columbia University, "07:
Hayes, of Hill. Military Academy. '07. and
Dixon, of Pendleton High School, 07.
In the pitching department tho univer
sity will be of about the same strength as
in previous yejirs, unless some of the new
material rounds into better form than it
has so far shown signs of doing. Oregon
has always had good pitchers, but they
have all at some time or other-been some
what erratic. One day they would pitch
excellent games; and probably the nt'xt
day would be hammered out of the box
by the varsity second team. Of the three
slab artists of last year's organization,
Beck, Clifford and Kurd. Beck was lost
by graudation,' while the other two re
main in college. Both Clifford and Hurd
are strong twirlers, but are at times, to
some extent, erratic. If Coach Mwjredie
can make them settle down and become
more consistent. Oregon will easily win
a majority of her games, for the varsity
pitchers will, without the least doubt,
have one of the strongest amateur teams
behind them playing in the Pacific North
west during the coming season.
Among other men who are likely to be
strong contenders for positions on the
varsity pitching staff are: Robyn Nelson,
of last year's second team, and Bailey,
formerly of Bishop ScotJ; and Newell
Academies.
The hardest position to fill wilr be that
of catcher, for both of last year's arsity
backstops, Johnson and Kelly.' were grad
uated with the class of 1!W. For this po
sition new men will have to be devel
oped, and it is probable that this would
be the weak point ' on the team were It
not for the fact that- "Chuck" Taylor, the
wiry right halfback of the varsity foot
ball team, will try- out for it. Taylor
caught for several years on the Hill Mili
tary Academy team, captaining the team
for' two years-, and it Is known that lie
will make good. As a change catcher,
Charlie Erskine. who last year handled
the big mit on the second team, will like
ly, be chosen, for with more training he
should develop into a valuable receiver.
T 1ET III E
HD
YALE AND HARVARD AFTER
IXTERXATIOXAIi CONTESTS.
Other American Colleges May Hold
Off From Games 'Witli Ox
ford and Cambridge.
While no open negotiations have been
entered upon and a challenge has neither
been sent nor received, both Yale and
Harvard are desirous of a dual athletic
meet with Oxford and Cambridge in Eng
land next August, and indirect overtures
have been made to that end.
On the other hand, neither Yale nor
Harvard favors the proposition of an
ail-American intercollegiate team being
being sent abroad. The general challenge
framed and sent at the Joint meeting of
the executive and advisory committees
of the Intercollegiate Association of Ama
teur Athlete of America is considered
an impossible one by the Blue and the
Crimson. The only English Universities
to have men on a team would be Oxford
and Cambridge, and opposed to them
would be a. team made up of representa
tives of all the colleges In this country.
The Englishmen would bave practically
no chance ,of winning.
The challenge was for a British earn,
which meant' to Include the athletes of
Canada and Australia, but the possibility
of their joining their English cousins is
remote.
Several former college athletes in this
country have expressed the opinion that
OREGON
H STEM
it would be- better for two universities
here to Jointly make up the team, as
there would then be no advantage over
the Britons, but that Yale and Harvard
should bear this country's athletic stan
dard has not met with the approval of the
other collegians here.
The movement grew out of the- one be
gun last year of holding a meet in the
Harvard stadium, and Yale and Har
vard are deserving of much credit for
their ambitious activity, but both are out
ranked in track and field sports by
other American universities. Cornell, for
instance, has a record that makes all
others except Pennslyvania look Insignifi
cant. Undoubtedly a representative team
could be sent abroad and win. Perhaps
Yale and harvard couiu, but a "defeat
would leave -the question of one country's
intercollegiate athletic supremacy still un
decided. Stadium an Incentive.
' The erection of . the Olympic stadium
makes an added incentive for the pro
ject, and in August the Oxford and Cam
bridge athletes will be in excellent con
dition, owing to their probable participa
tion as English representatives in the
Olympic meet. Several of the American
collegians also may be members of the
Olympic team to be sent from this
country. It is felt that the. time is ex
ceedingly propitious for the college event,
which, of course, would not interfere
with the Olympic games proper.
Harvard and Yale men are said to be
lieve that their undergraduates will se
cure a fair share of places on the Olympic
team, which would materially lessen the
expense of sending a dual team abroad.
Those who made the American team
would be sent at the expense of the Olym
pic committee, and only such men as were
thought .necessary to bolster up the Harvard-Yale
combine would have to go to
England on the funds of their respective
athletic associayons. In fact, conditions
are thought to break exceedingly well for
the two universities this year in connec
tion with the proposed trip. Both Har
vard and Yale appear to possess material
for track teams of more than their usual
strength, and the supporters of the two
universities are said, according to one
Harvard athletic authority, to have noth
ing to fear regarding the outcome of such
a test of speed and endurance as the pro
gramme would call for.
There is likely, however, to be a hitch
in the American end of the arrangements
because of the unsettled method' in vftgue
in the past for the selection of .the Yale
Harvard team. Two plans for the selec
tion of the competitors appear to have
been tentatively broached. One was based
upon the outcome of the Yale-Harvard
dual meet which is held annually, and the
other was to pick a team in some man
ner'resultant upon the showing of the two
colleges in the Intercollegiate games. .
Americans Are Confident. .
Yale and Harvard think they could win
everything except the ' distance runs.
Yale's .greatest, strength would not be
tested,', that of pole vaulting, where she
lias the present national chanyilon, Wal
ter Dray, captain of the track teaihv and
'the former 'champion, A. 'C. Gilbert. .'A
pole vault is not one of the events in an
international meet.
- From the Yale point of view the Harvard-Yale
team would be made up in the
following way:
100-yard dashButler, of Yale, and
Dodge, of Harvard.
440 yards Merrlhow, of Harvard, and
Deselden, of Harvard.
SOO yards Tllson, of Yale, and Watson,
of Harvard.
Mile Haddon, of Harvard, and Spitzer,
of Yale.
Three mile Crosby, of Harvard, and
Dole, of Harvard.
120-yard hurdles Rand, pt Harvard,
and Howe, of Yale.
Hammer throw Cooney and Andrus, of
Yale.
High jump Harwood and Somors, of
Harvard. '
Broad jump Davis, of Yale, and Little,
of Harvard.
The records show that the first Inter
national meet of this- character was
held in 1S9N, and was won by Oxford
and Cambridge, five events to four.
The second 'contest was won by Yale
and Harvard in 1901, when the Ameri
cans' captured first place in six of tho
nine contests that formed the card.
At the last meeting of the two dual
teams the Americans won the 100 and
441-yard runs, the high and broad
jumps, the 120-yard hurdle race and
the hammer throw. The Oxford and
Cambridge collegians of that year cap
tured the longer distance runs, which
were the half-mile, mile and two-mile
events.
The results of that competition wero
as follows: 100-yard dash W. A.
Schick, Harvard. 0:9 4-5: 120-yard hur
dle race, E. J. Clapp, Yale, 0:15 4-5: 440
yard run, E. J. Dives, Harvard, 0:49 4-5;
8811-yard run. If. F. Holding, Oxford,
1:56 1-5: one-mile run, H. W. Gregson,
Cambridge, 4:211-5; two-mile run, M.
H. Godby. Oxford, 9:50; running broad
Jump, L. T. Sheffield, Yale, 21. feet, 10
inches; running high jump, G. F. Vie
tor, Yale, 6 feet inch: 16-pound ham
mer throw, T. L. Shevlin, Yale, 152
feet 8 inches.
It is thought that should the meet be
held the programme will be composed
of the same events, although this is
only a surmise. New York World;

MEETS THIS WEEK
Northwest Fair Association to
Convene in Portland.
WILL NAME RACING DATES
Portland Country Club and Live
stock Association Will Ask for a
Meeting to Be Held on Truck
Xow, Xear Completion.
When the North Pacific Fair Associa
tion meets' in Portland this week this
city will again request dates for a meet
under the auspices of the association, for
by that time the handsome new track
and park of the Portland Country Club
and livestock Association will have been
completed.
Jhe coming gathering of horsemen and
breeders promises .to be the most inter
esting held in many years. The principal
reason for this is that both Portland and
Seattle will be in the Held for dates when
harness meets may be held without con
flicting with the various meets held an
nually at other parts of the Pacific North
west. The Washington State Fair Association
of Seattle will be represented by three
delegates, while a similar number will
be on hand as delegates from the Port
land Country Club and Livestock Associa
tion. Representatives from all over Ore
gon. Washington and Idaho, and possibly
some from Montana, will be on hand,, and
from the amount of business likely to at
tract the attention of the organization, it
may be in convention for twp days in
stead of the one day named in the circu
lars announcing the meeting.
Dike the Portland association, the
Seattle horsemen are engaged in 'building
a new track and show grounds, which are
located near the Alaska-Yukon-Pacitlc Ex
position grounds, on Lake Washington.
The Seattle association is exerting itself
toward making its new grounds- up-to-date
in very particular, and with two

Half the nervousness, half the Irri
tability that is so sommon in everyday
life. Is really sickness, .and in most cases
a condition that accompanies kidney
trouble.
It is the work of the kidneys to keep
the blood free from uric acid and other
poisons, but when the. kidneys are sick,
and not doing their duty the uric
acid poison permeates the body, and
attacks body, brain and nerves. The
irritation pauses nervousness, irritability,
headache, dizzy spells; makes you lan
guid, unfit for work, and inclined to
worry over trifles. Besides, there is noth
ing more annoying than a bad back, and
backache is the most common sign of kid
ney trouble. You feel lame and tired in
the morning, suffer day and night with
a dull aching in the back, and it hurts to
stoop or bend or lift.
Keep your temper cool, and get the
kidneys well. No person can feel cheer
ful and healthy if the kidneys 'are the
least (bit affected. A few doses of Doan's
Kidnay Pills, taken in the beginning,
will set the kidneys right.
Continued treatment cures cases of long
standing.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for the kidneys
only, and contain no poisonous nor habit-

leveling the track, while scrapers " and
harrows are being worked over the area
in the effort to h,ave the grounds in shape
as early as possible.
The new track will be more oval in
shape than was tho Irvington track, and
in addition will prove a more acceptable
course for the reason that the stretch
will be much longer than at the former
track. By building the track in this man
ner, tho promoters hope to make the
finishes of the different events of much
more interest than the past events at
Irvington were, for the reason that the
entries will have a longer straightway
stretch than at the former track. It is
planned to have the new track capable
of accommodating the three and one half
furlong and four furlong events on the
stretch without being required, like Ir
vington, to take in a turn at the start
of these short sirint events.
The composition of new track at
present is principally gravel and fine sand.
This is beinj- excavated from the ele
vated portions and used to till in the low
er areas, and considerable work of this
kind has already been completed. ' As
,soon as the grade is established and the
entire field made level, the track itself
will be covered with at least one foot of
earth. This will be rolled with heavy
steam rollers until it has been built to
suit the specifications. In a short time
it is expected that tho gravelly founda
tion will permeate the earthen layer to
such an extent that the new track will
be the equal of any race course in the
West.
Last week the building commrtte of
the Portland Country Club and Livestock
Association visited the scene and selected
the sites on which the building will be
erected. This committee, which is com
posed of W. If. Wehrung, H. O. Camp
bell and O. W. Taylor, reported that they
had no trouble in selecting the sites and
had arranged to have the work of con
struction undertaken at once.
SCIililVAX AS TITLE HOLDER
John L. lias Had More Cognomens
Than Any Other Fighter.
While the average American has little
fancy for titles, there are certain spheres
of activity in which a man cannot
avoid acquiring some expressive cogno
men. Pugilism probably develops more
titles than any other sport, although
baseball is a close second. John L. Sul
lfvan has probably been dubbed more
different .names than any other pgize
fighter that ever tied a string around
his glove. The following is a collection
of some of the more startling things that
Sullivan has been called:
The TSoMon Hercules, Knight of the Fives,
the "Magnificent" Sullivan, the Hard-Hitting
Pullivan. the Boston Miracle, Kinj of the
Ring, Boston's Philanthropist Prize-Khfhter, t
the Boston Giant, the Scientific American.
Trlp-Hammer Jack, Spartacus Sullivan. Mon- j

A PORTLAND CASK.
David Campbell. 170 Ne. Eighteenth St..
Portland, Oregon, says: "My faith in
Doan's Kidney Pills today is just as great
as when I recommended them several
years ago, the cure ' they performed in
my case having proven permanent. Prior
to using them. I suffered constantly from
pains in my back, and was often so lame
and sore that it required quite an effort
for me to stoop or lift. I tried various
remedies and was treated by a physician,
but the relief I obtained was only tem
porary and I was at a loss to know how
to dispbse of my trouble. I read so much
about Doan's Kidney Pills that I was,
induced to try them and procured a box
at the Laue-Davis Drug Co. The contents
of this box helped me so much that I con
tinued taking them and was cured."
