Our ethetlr exponent of fisticuffs. T.
Burns, one time of Portland. Or., Is about
to engage In the delectable task of pol
.fehinir off another British subject, ac
cording to the fashion promulgated by
the late Marquis of Queensbery. As the
Aforementioned Marquis has lonjr since
joined hi fathers in the unknown, he
ran not be blamed because England to
day 1a mad to produce even a "near
fhampton" at the game to which he gave
his patronage.
: To judge from past exploits, and also
from reports of the calibre of his op
ponent. Thomas Noah Brtisso Burns will
Tiot be apt to suffer any Inconvenience
In extending- to Jem Roche the same
mixture passed out to Messrs. Motr and
J-'almer. Tn fact Tommy carries all the
money In this great handicap event, and
in case that he should meet his Waterloo
no one will be stung: very hard for the
reason that the sporting proclivities of
the present-day generation demand a
cinch bet. arid o far none have been
found who look favorably upon the .Eng
lish representative.
T. Burns approaching battle with
Tloche, which will be fought at Dublin,
Ireland, on St. Patrick s day, next Tues
day, also brings to mind the fact that the
perennial hoax of a match between Bums
and Johnson has again been exploited and
exploded. The customary procedure of lay
ing the blame at the door of the colored
man lias again been advanced by the
hackers of Burns. Johnson in not an
agreeable type of boxer. This Is not
iaid because of his color, but because he
has never been really on the square in
any of the fights In which he has en
. gaged, and he la far from conducting him
self properly on any occasion. In any
- event, if there Is a desire to 4'welch"
on this match the principals are equally
to blame, for Burns is no more anxious
to hook up with Johnson than Is the lat
. tor worthy to meet the claimant to the
world's championship.
"Packy" McFarland's arrival in San
' Francisco during the past week has been
heralded broadcast, and incidentally has
served the purpose of advertising his ap
r proaching battle with James K. Britt.
The Britt family must be taken care of
.- iy the Krisco sports and the Chlcagoan,
was forced to take xm the brotlfer of
Wiilus or be denied a battle in the Cali
fornia metropolis. "Packy is said to
he a Battling Nelson, Young Corbet t and
Jimmy Britt rolled Into one. and If he
comes half way up to expectations,
, should have comparatively easy game in
the coming scrap with Jeems Edward.
who Is now capable only of putting up a
.limited round exhibition go occasionally.
After trimming Britt's claws. McFar
land is in line to take on Battling Nel
non and a few other has-beens after
which it will be quite possible that he
i secure a match with the real tighter of
.his class tooay. Joe Gans. It is neces
sary that he meet the dead ones first
order that th. good money of the
public sha.l no be overlooked to any
.extent, for were he to take on Gans and
get licked, he would no longer be an
at tract ion down California way.
- Seattle sports are making a determined,
effort to secure Abe Attell and Owen
-31.0 ran for a limited bout at that city
in tho near future, and here's hoping
they are successful In the enterprise.
That the sporting public of Seattle de
sires such an event goes without ques
tion, and the general impression prevail
ing today is that limited pugilistic bouts
are neither . Immoral or harmful. Such
a contest between men of the reputation
of Attell and Moran will prove an ex
cellent .advertising medium for the
Northern city, and in view of the fact
that the Alaska-Yukon-Padftc Exposition
is to tje held there next year, advertising
along this line will prove helpful to a
great degree.
According to press dispatches relating
to the coming Burns-Roche affair, a num
ber of prominent society women of I,on
don. as well as of Dublin and other places
lif the British Isles, have reserved seats
at- the ringside for the purpose of wit
nessing the contest. Since the Knglish
custom prescribes evening dress for the
men attending events of this kind, it
is also possible that ball-room costumes
may be proper for the matrons electing
to- attend em h a momentous society af
fair as a prizefight.

audevillc stunts so common to the majority-
f ne fistic exponents who have
taken to theatricals, but has confined
lifanself to legitimate drama. That he
has been successful in this profession is
attested by the glowing notices he re
ceives carh time he appears. Corbet t
excels both James J- Jeffries and Robert

stitse... in this vocation, for the reason
hHt he is of graceful appearance and

SANTA BARBARA, March 11. (Staff
Correspondence.) If Manager MeCredie
is as fortunate In selecting a winning
ball team out of the 23 men he will have
In training as he has been in selecting
a training camp. Portland- has a great
chance for capturing the Coast "League
bunting. Santa Barbara is not the
liveliest place on earth from a baseball
standpoint, but it is easily the choicest
training spot on earth. By Wednesday
MeCredie had 16 men at work. The
weather is just - the kind to-take the
kinks out of Winter-bound muscles, and
then, too, the roads are fine for long
jaunts.
- Manager MeCredie has his team quar
tered at the Hotel Mascarel. By an ar
rangement with the man who runs the
bath-house here the players have lockers
at the bath, and twice a day every
player takes a plunge in the nicely tem
pered sea water. Just back of the bath
house is the ball park, a,nd as soon as
practice is over the players rush back
to the bath-house, .change uniforms for
bathing suiLp, and then the fun begins.
Butch Basse y, Casey, Kennedy and
Cooney are the real water doas of the
crew, but the rest of them are nifty
swimmers. Pernoll's heavy underpin
ning anchors him and he comes in for tits
ducking twice a day.
Looking over the crew of recruits dur
ing practice it strikes me that Manager
MeCredie has surrounded himself with
sufficient material to get a ball, team
that will be worth seeing. A very likely
youngster that MeCredie picked up s'.nce
coming here is Marshall. He has been
playing on the Pasadena team in the"
California Winter League. He came to
the team unung and asked for a tryout,
MeCredie and Casey watched him a while
and both were satisfied. MeCredie was
so impressed with the youngster (for he
is only 19 years old and as big a man as
Bobby Groom) that he will hang on to
hlin.
Without being able to speculate much
about the individuality of the players
now on the ground I can say this: Every
one is clean-cut and earnest, and with
the exception of one or two each has
the markings of a ball player.
This i. of course, the trying-out period.
The big battle lor permanent berths on
the team is on. I don't look for Phil
Cooney to have any trouble making
good at short and if he does not become
one of the best in the league I'll miss
my guess. MeCredie had Cooney signed
last year, but the youngster Droke nis
leg and finished the season with Johns
town in the Tri-State League. He traps
a ball nicely and has a nice way of
shooting it to first. Ote Johnson is a
bird that will take some nifty work to
keep from playing third. Frank Carr,
whom MeCredie secured from one of the
teams around New York, bas the ear
marks of a ball player, but he is against
a tough proposition in trying to make
third against Johnson, whom the Port
land fans know and like.
Jim Malloy, who comes to MeCredie
highly touted, is being tried out in the
outfield. He has only been playing two
years anal looks like a comer. When Raf
tery arrives Basse y and MeCredie will put
him through his paces. He handles him
self like a ball player and he stands up
and clouts the ball like a big leaguer.
Malloy has shown up well in practice,
and If he keeps Inmproving MeCredie
will use him in right field.
Bassey, of course the fans know.
He is staked out in left field, and the
player that slips Into his shoes will have
tn show s-ome class, for Butch isn't going
to let any new comer grab his berth.

Kennedy is still scooping 'em up at
first. Spring training hasn't stiffened him
up and he is as fat as a fiddle. He is
the Happy Hooligan of the bunch and
the champion eater of them all. Danzig

J. E. Dalyrimple, who once wore a
Coast league uniform and also played in
the old Northwest League, makes his
home here. Dal is looking fine and will
play this season in Dubuque, la.
Manager MeCredie used to be a farmer.
The other day he saw a man plowing
a field just back of the ball park and just
to show that he hadn't forgotten how, he
made a base hit by plowing once around
the lot. It took Kennedy an hour to take
the kinks out of the manager after his
strenuous stunt.

Phil Cooney is a dead ringer in ap

SIZE OF VICTIM SURPRISE
STAXIXHUJ TRACK TEAM - BACK
i FKOM I.OS AXGELES.
Expected to .Win, but "ot by Such
Overwhelming Odds Athletes
Are Training Again.
STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Cal.,
March 14. (Special.) The Stanford track
team has returned to the campus in fine
fettle from the Southern California trip,
and has settled down to' regular training
again in preparation for the meets which
have still to be run off. The overwhelm
ing victory of S4V4 to 2TV4 was almost as
much of a surprise to Stanford track en
thusiasts as it must have been to those
of the University of Southern California,
for while the Cardinal team went to Ios
Angeles In high hopes of winning the
meet, such a landslide In their favor was
a most unexpected pleasure.
None of the team who went south
seem to be the worse for their trip, ex
cept Horton, who sprained his ankie in
the broad jump. The injury, however, is
not considered serious, and the big ath
lete expects to be on the track again
within a few days. Horton was one of
the many surprises of the meet with
Southern California. Although he has a
fine record in previous years, his show
ing on the track this season until this
meet at Los Angeles has not been up to
standard in the hurdles, and only medio
cre in the weights. Therefore, the Car
dinal forces were quite unprepared for
the sudden burst of improvement that
made him the largest point-winner at
Los Angeles, with a total of three first
places and one third place to his credit.
Horton's firsts were in the high and low
hurdles and the shot-put.
But the point which is of most interest
to track enthusiasts generally- on th
Pacific Coast concerning this meet is
the breaking of the Coast record In the
half-mile relay by the Stanford team,
composed of Miller. Wyman, Holman
and Reed. The distance was covered in
1:34.1. The relay was the feature of the
meet, and the new record established
displaces, the one held up to the present
time by Snedigar, Cheek. Gerhardt and
Glarner, of the Olympic Club. The
breaking of this record is all the mors
notable in view of the fact that the track
was far from being in good condition as
the. result of the rains, which left the
track sloppy, and made the time slow

Although the freshmen competing for
track honors are few in numbers, those
few have developed some very satisfac
tory material. Sweet. Brown, Wyman.
Bellah and Martin are all new men ou

SEASON TO OPEN APRIL 5
.
Games Will Be Played in Portland!
In Absence of the Beavers Tcum
to Go on the Road When the -McCredieites
Are at Home.
BY W. J. PETRAIN.
The coming baseball season promises
to be the most successful in the history
of the city as far as the amateur and
semi-professional teams are concerned,
and more interest is being displayed in
the Tri-City League and the various in
dependent as well as - interseholastie
teams than ever before.
The Tri-City League, which enjoyed a
more or less successful season last year,
promises to excel the fondest dreams of
the promoters in the matter of attract
ing the itnerest of faiidom in general.
This season the league will comprise
eight clubs, and of this number only two
will actually represent Portland. At
least such is the present calculation of
the league officials, for, while there is
some doubt as to Salem's stand in the
matter, they entertain hopes that that
city will be represented by a speedy ag
gregation. .
Oregon City. Vancouver, Woodburn. St.
John and Astoria are all well organized
and will have splendid teams of young
players in the field, while Portland will
be represented by East Side and West
Side teams.
President Whitemore, of the Tri-City
League, who formerly held the position
of president of the Portland baseball
club in 1901 and 1902, has called a meeting
of the league directors to be held to
morrow (Monday) night, when the sched
ule now in process of being drawn up
will be adopted. According to the pres
ent plans of the league it is proposed to
play games in Portland only during the
absence of the Pacific Coast League
club, when the games scheduled for this
city will be played on the League
grounds at Twenty-fourth and Vaughn
streets.
Season Will Open April 5.
The Tri-City season wil lopen in Port
land on April 5 and from that time until
.the McCredieites return North, will give
the semi-professional league practically
four weeks of baseball in this city. As
McCredie's players will remain on the
home lot six weeks, it will be close to
July before the Tri-City Leaguers can
again secure the use of the Vaughn
street grounds, hence their desire to start
as soon as possible.
All the teams in this eight-club circuit
are weil advanced in the matter of or
ganization, with the possible exception
of Salem, from which club nothing has
yet been heard in the matter of signing
players. The list of Astoria players is
also lacking, but Manager G. E. Jack
son, of that team, has assured the
League officials that Astoria will be very
much in evidence when the gong sounds
the inaugural of the season.
Misunderstandings in the matter of
signing players have already cropped out.
Two players are now In dispute through
having signed with different clubs; or at
least such is the contention of the clubs.
Asher Houston, who played third base
for the champion Frakes last season, is
claimed by that club and by Vancouver.
Houston claims that when he entered
into .the agreement with Manager Hel
ser, of Vancouver, it was represented to
him that the Frakes were not to be ad
mitted to the league this season, and he
agreed to play for the city across the
Columbia. Now that the Frakes are
listed in the circuit, he has signed a reg
ular contract with Manager M. R. W hite
head. He had signed an agreement .with
Manager Helser which morely stipulates
that he is to receive a certain sum for
each game and a uniform, but sajs noth
ing about ball-playing, and on this tech
nlcal ground it is presumed that thi
15,
player will contest the Vancouver claim
upon his services. .'
Pitcher Tim Concannon, of last season's
Woodburn club, is similarly claimed by
two clubs. .- This year he signed a con
tract with the' Vancouver club, and now
the Woodburn club is advancing a. claim
upon his services. In the list of con
tracts approved by President Whitehead
Concannonvis numbered among the Van
couver players. - He is a clever young
pitcher and his services will no doubt
prove valuable to -the club which finally
succeeds in playing him.
Players Signed and Approved.
The players who have signed and who
have been approved by the president are
as follows:

-Vithin the next week it will be
definitely known whether the Capital
City fans will be represented in the
league, and the announcement of - the
Astoria team's lineup is - expected ' at
any time.
Streit. the diminutive pitcher, and
Troy Meyers, of last season's Frakes
team, will probably play with the East
Portland team. It is understood that
both have signed with Manager Pom
eroy. but that their contracts have not
yet been sent to President Whitemore
for approval. Harvey Newell, Bert
Johnson and Northrup have signed
with Manager Whitehead, of the West
Side team, and it is possible that he
will also secure two Eastern players,
Mueklestone and Robertson, both of
whom are now in Portland, and have
expressed a wish to play here. Several
Tri-City League clubs are after Alex.
Oliver and so far he has not signed.
"Triby" Rankin. Alex Cheyne and J.
Burnside have been appointed umpires
by President whitemore. and will offi
ciate at the games during the- coming
season. A fourth umpire is yet to be
appointed, and he will be selected from
the Valley towns in the event that
Salem enters the league.
WIZARD SCHAEPEB RETIRES
Declared Match With Hoppe His
Last Championship.
Just before his match with Willie
Hoppe last week. Jake Schaefcr, the
"wizard of the cue,- announced that It
would be his last. "I find that the
strain of practicing for big matches
is too wearing on me at my time of
life." he said. "This strain of fitting
for a billiard match nowadays, the un
certainty of the money and other rea
sons are chiefly accountable for my de
cision. I am going to leave this strug
gle to younger men, although I feel
that today I am as fit as ever for com
petition with them. I love the game
and I like to play a sharp match as
well as the next man. It is not the
actual contest that I dread; it is the
long-drawn-out practice and the at
tendant physical exertion that is so
necessary in conditioning for a big
match." '

proaehes that of any previous bench'
show, and by the time the date of clos-l
ing the lists is reached it is expected t
have nearly twice as many dogs listed!
as at any previous show. The progress
being made toward holding a most sue-1
cessful show causes . B. Fchhe1meiv
Frank a Watkins. E. A. Parsons. W. M.'
Davis. Grant Scott. Dr. J. C. Zan. E. T.t
Chase and the other dog fanciers to wearj

sorts will hp reafter be the- portion of tile
faithful watchdog, the elegant hound, the
pretty fox terrier, -the cute little spaniel
or the bulldog of fierce or frightful
aspect.
E. -V Parsons, one of the most en
thusiastic dog fanciers, has announced!
his intention of donating a cup each year.
which prize will be contested for bv Ore
gon breeders ando owners of setters, and!
pointers. either parent of which!
has been a field-trial animal. Mr.'
Parsons is an earnest advocate!
of field trials. and it is for the!
purpose of stimplating interest in this'
sport that he has offered the annual prizej
of a handsome cup. He is the owner of
several classy field-trial dogs and will'
exhibit some of his prize-winners in com
petition with the other Portland setters
and pointers. His premier exhibit Willi
be Lady Parsons, a bitch by the famous
prize-winning Sousa,- and her litter of
puppies.
In addition to the prize offered by Mr.
Parsons, a greater number of Portland
fanciers and friends of the Kennel Club
have already signified their intention of
donating cups, while Freeman Ford, of
Pasadena. ?al., and W. E. Beeman. of
Seattle, have notified the Club that they
will contribute cups for different classes.
Among the fancy canines which will
be entered for these prizes are a number
of newly imported dogs. W. M. Davis
has imported Oregon Jingo II, a daughter
of the famous Oregon Jingo. Tills puppy
will be shown In all the principal Coast
shows. 'and a successful future- is pre

have seen and examined her points. Mr.1
Davis, who is president of fiie Portland1
Kennel Club, is especially proud of this1
pup. and expects to win many prizes with'
her. '
Another entry of considerable promise'
is J. C. Harralson's English bulldog bitch,1
Thornbury Rose, which he recently pur
chased from J. Penrtcld Fold, of London. i
England. This bitch is a descendant of
the famous English bulldog Bromley Crib.,
one of the best-known prizewinners of
England. Another specimen of an En
glish bulldog is Sporting Duchess, owned
by Phelps Holman, who will enter her in
the coming show. This bitch was bred
on the Pacific Coast and has been award

Henry Metzger's newly imported Scotch
Collie. Bruce II. is another handsoma
specimen that will be exhibited at the
coming bench show. ' This dog . was
brought from England a few months ago'
by Mr. Metzger, who anticipates consid
erable . success with his -entry. Russell1
Smith has a new entry in his Boston ter
rier. Derby, recently imjiortcd by him
from the East. This dog Is a handsonm
specimen of -that breed and has many,
points that will make him a formidable
competitor when the show opens next
month.
Frank E. Walking and W. B. Fccli
.heimer will be on hand with their special
breeds. .The former will have his famous
white bull terriers with "which he has won
