IS RIGKARD 5 BID
OH THE SQUARE?
Some Doubt About Nevadan's
Offer for Gans-Nelson
Return Match.
REPORTED TO BE BROKE
San Francisco Sports Wonder Where
930,000 Guarantee Is Coming
From Fitzsimmons Has Xo
Show Against Ketchell.
BY W. J. PETRAIN.
Tex Rlckard. the young sport who
prang Into National prominence by virtue
of his pulling off the Gans-Nelson em
brogllo at Goldfield about two years ago,
and who was touted as a millionaire
several times over, seems to have been a
plutocrat of the Seattle tide flat variety.
At least so one would Judge when the
various rumors floating North from Cali
fornia way aro taken into consideration.
Rickards troubles, if such they can be
styled, seem to have developed suddenly.
At least they were practically unheard of
until the Xevadan sprang a surprise on
the sporting public by offering a purse of
130.000 for another match between the
champion Dane and the ex-champion
Oans. To offer such a sum of money as
a guaranteed amount to the principals;
Nelson being guaranteed J20.000 win or
lose, and Gans $10,000, was deemed the
height of folly, and when Rlckard stipu
lated that the scrap take place at Raw
hide, the wise ones believed the Nevada
promoter was afflicted by squally weather
in his dome.
Rickard gained considerable notoriety
as a plunger about the time of the Gold
field engagement, and it is just possible
that he may have advanced his bid for
another Nelson-Gans go for advertising
purposes. At any rate the San Fran
cisco sports are quoted as saying Rickard
Is broken and other similar assertions,
and all because the Nevada plunger has
failed to advance his forfeit binding the
match as he proposed to do.
If Rickard, as wise as he professes to
be. could convince any one of the pos
sibility of drawing a $30,000 house at
Rawhide, unless he knows of 30 easy
marks who would cough J1000 apiece for
the privilege of witnessing Nelson and the
negro go at it again, he has it on all
the dopesters of the country.
Xo Excuse for Return Engagement.
Judging by the last meeting of these
two fistic exponents, another match is not
likely to result any differently from their
recent engagement. The scribes and flstto
authorities at the ringside were unani
mous In their opinion that Gans had gone
back, and. for a man of his age, this
means down and out. A human body
that has acted the part Gans" has In over
one hundred battles. Is bound to collapse
some time, and the famous Baltlmorean
seemingly received his quietus at Ban
Francisco on July 4 last.
Gans can now be classed with James
J. Corbett, Bob Fitzsimmons, "Young"
Corbett, Terry McGovern and all the
others who occupied the limelight for a
period, but who fought Just one too many
ring battles. It is hard to convince at
least one of the above named individuals
that he Is among the down and outers.
This personage at one time was the great
est of them all. but his star has set ma
for him to talk of fight is laughable.
Robert Fitzsimmons is the erstwhile pre
mier who met his quietus on two occa
sions at the hands of the same, and the
"Ruby One" wants another go. In fact,
he Is said to have commenced training
for a match with Stanley Ketchell, the
present shining light among the middle
weights.
Ketchell Is enjoying the best days of
his career at the present time. He is
young and strong, and full of ambition,
while Fitzsimmons. who is alleged to
have arranged to meet him, has seen his
best days some ten years ago. Bob is old.
He has lost his speed and even some of
that mighty strength," the force of which
has caused many a good lighter of the
olden days to lapse into unconscicusness
for sundry minutes. His eye has dimmed
and his agility has practically disap
peared, so why match him against a
youthful opponent only to suffer an in
evitable defeat?
Met In Coeur d'Alene.
Spokane, or rather the Coeur d'Alene
country adjacent to that city Is named as
the place selected for the Ketchell-Fitzsimmons
go, and incidentally, it is also
likely to be the scene of a bout between
Abe At tell and Kid Scaler. They were to
have fought some time ago near Seattle,
but a string slipped somewhere and the
match was called off. Attell should beat
Scaler easily, unless he proves another
Joe Gans and fights one too many battles.
This is hardly likely to occur In this In
stance, for, while Attell has been before
the public for some time he Is compara
tively a young man. If he Is quoted cor
rectly, he Is ambitious to meet Battling
Nelson for the world's lightweight cham
pionship, and If he is successful, such a
match should prove a splendid contest.
Tommy Burns is well on his way to Aus
tralia, if last accounts from him are au
thentic, and within a short time we can
expect to hear of the Brusso lad clean
ing up some more easy money in the an
tipodes that is, providing the Australians
do not ring In a duplicate of Fitzsimmons
on him. This, however. Is not likely to
occur, for Bill Squires, the human lemon,
was rated as the all-star, three-ringed
circus of pugilism in that country previous
to his introduction to America, and Tom
my Burns should find the balance of the
Australian fistic exponents about as easy
game as was Squires.

GREAT GRIDIRON
Teams in Northwest Will Prob
ably Be Stronger Than
Ever Before.
BIG BATTLE IN PORTLAND
Championship of Conference Col
leges, It Is , Expected, Will Be
Decided by Oregon-Corvallis
Game Xovember 21.
BT RETEREB.
Although the college football season
will not begin until the miadle of Sep
tember, speculation Is already rife as
to championship possibilities, and fol
lowers of the game in the Pacific
Northwest are beginning to figure on
the chances of their favorites. The
Northwest Intercollegiate Conference
teams Idaho, Oregon, Washington,
Corvallls. Pullman and Whitman will
no doubt maintain their lead in college
circles, although some of the non-conference
teams, such as Willamette and
Whltworth, must not be overlooked.
Besides these aggregations, there
will be teams representing Multnomah
and Seattle Athletic Clubs, as well as
numerous college and club elevens In
various parts of Oregon, Washington
and Idaho. The high schools of the
Northwest have been developing the
game during recent years, and there
will be some important intercollegiate
matches during the coming season.
The fight for the Intercollegiate
championship will be watched with In
terest this year, for all the Northwest
Conference teams are out to win and
are making preparations to that end.
The Conference teams will be better
coached and trained than ever before
and will put up a higher class of foot
ball than has ever been seen In the
Northwest. The presence of such men
as Norcross, the ex-Michigan captain,
who coached O. A. C. last year, and
who has been engaged for another sea
son; Forbes, the great Tale end, who
coached West Point last Fall and who
has b,een signed by the Oregon. man
agement; Reinchild, Michigan's re
nowned half back, who will direct
Pullman's gridiron campaign, and Mid
dleton, the little coach who made Idaho
famous last year, means that the
Northwest will see some football of the
real sort before the curtain drops on
the season of 1908:
Oregon to Play O. A. C. Here.
Last year's race for the championship
was won by the Oregon Agricultural Col
lege, when the gridiron warriors of that
institution took Oregon into camp after a
4 to 0 game. Idaho ranked third in the
Northwest, as the men from the Gem
State won a clear, title to the champion
ship of Washington and Montana, as well
as their home state. Predictions are free
ly made that Corvallls. Oregon and Idaho
will be the most formidable teams In this
year's struggle for supremacy.
Local Interest centers in the big game
between Oregon and O. A. C. This con
test will be played on Multnomah field
this year on November 21 and from pres
ent indications it will be the most Im
portant college athletic event ever seen
In Portland. The teams of the two state
schools will be about even In strength,
skill and experience and there Is every
reason to believe that Portland will see
a great game when they come together.
Coach Norcross will reach Corvallls
about September 15 and will begin work
ing with his men Immediately thereafter.
Graduation and other courses have taken
three and possibly four of the champions
of 1907. Dunlap. left tackle; Emily, left
end; Rlnehard, right half-back, and pos
sibly Bennett, left tackle, will not be in
college this season. All four' were good
men. although Emily and Bennett are
more valuable than the other two. The
absence of both of these men from the
Corvallls left wing will unquestionably
weaken the team, although Bennett's re
turn would not leave that side of the line
so badly crippled. In any event. Emily's
place will be bard to OIL As a tackier

and interference smasher. Emily was
without a peer in the Northwest last
season. The Aggies will have a fine
bunch of new material, as well as a num
ber of good substitutes of last year.
Corvallls Has Veteran Team.
The veterans around which Norcross
expects to build up another winning team
are as follows: Wolff, full-back and cap
tain; Cooper, left half-back; Gagnon,
quarter; Kelly, center; Pendergrass, right
guard; Jamison, right tackle; Dobbin,
right end, and possibly Bennett, left
tackle.
Coach Norcross will be assisted by Bun
dy, a time-honored veteran of O. A. C,
as well as by Dr. A. C. Steckle, the man
who coached the Aggies In 1904 and 1905.
The Agricultural College recently secured
the services of Professor Angell, of the
University of Wisconsin. Angell has been
an assistant under Dr. Hitchcock, Wis
conson's famous physical director, for
several years, and his presence at Cor
vallls means that the O. A. C. team will
be in good physical condition- throughout
the season. Flushed with their record of
unbroken victories of last season, the
Agricultural College players are coming to
Portland with the single idea of again
plastering the "23" sign upon the Oregon
varsity.
Whether- or not they will be able to re
peat the dose is a matter of speculation
and one upon ifhlch the writer will not
endeavor to venture an opinion.
Profitting by their experience of last
year the Agricultural College men have
arranged games with a number of the
leading teams of the Northwest and will
meet them during the coming season.
Whitman will come to Corvallls for a
game on November 11 and on October 31;
the O. A. C. players will try conclusions
with Washington at Seattle. The writer
ventures the opinion that O. A. C. will
win both games.
Oregon Has Great Coach.
Friends and followers of the Oregon
team believe that in Bob Forbes they have
found a Moses to lead their football men
out of the wilderness. The big Tale-end
made a great name for himself while at
New Haven and as head coach at West
Point he demonstrated his ability. He is
the first Tale man to coach a Pacific
Northwest team and is one of the few all
America men to come to these parts.
Forbes will have a wortny assistant In the
person of Arnsplger, Oregon's veteran
tackle, who has been disqualified by the
four-year rule, and in Bill Hayward he
will have one of the best trainers In the
West.
It seems quite certain that Owsley and
Rockwell, former New Haven stars, who
are now located on the Pacific Coast,
will be on hand for a week or two to as
sist Forbes and that other Tale men, be
sides a number of well-known Oregon
graduates, will do what they can to build
up a football machine that Norcross and
his followers cannot smash. The Tale
system will be on trial and Tale men
wish It to stand the test and maintain Its
prestige.
Oregon will begin the season with seven
of her veteran players Moullen, captain
and left guard: Scott, center; Mclntyre,
ripht guard: Pinkham, left tackle; Cole
man, right end; Taylor, right half; Clarke,
fullback. There will also be a good supply
of old second team men and substitutes,
as well as a fine bunch of freshmen. The
team will feel the loss of Kuykendall at
quarter. Moores at end. Zacharias, the
big half back, and Arnsplger, the reliable
tackle. Kuykendall's place will be espe
cially hard to fill, as he was a source of
great strength to his team last season.
AMERICANS SHOW UP WEIX
Gymnasts Find Many Admirers in
Ftankfort-on-the-Main.
FRANKFORT -ON-THE-MAIN, July
18. Frankfort la filled to overflowing
with visitors, who have come here to
witness the international gymnastic
tournament that begins next week. The
hotels are overcrowded, and accommo
dations are at a premium. The town
has placed its schools at the disposal
of the visitors, and last night the mili
tary authorities were called upon to
provide several thousand blankets. Ar
riving parties are met at the railroad
station by bands, and conducted with
martial airs to the hotels and boarding
houses, where they have secured quar
ters. The public bodies of Frankfort
are arranging to facilitate the feeding
of the great crowd of visitors.
The well set-up American gymnasts
made a good impression as they prac
ticed the exercises in groups, and as
tonished the other visitors -with their
ability in the ball and other games In
which they engaged to keep In con
dition. Many of the people who came over
with the gymnasts from America are
paying visits to relatives in the vicin
ity of Frankfort, and renewing friendly
ties, which for a lone time have been

Tells Roosevelt . Where and
How to Go on His African
Expedition.
PLANS WERE DANGEROUS
President Originally Proposed to Go
Direct' From Egypt to Fever
Hotbeds of the Equa
torial Lowlands.
LONDON, July 11. "Hunting in Af
rica today is not what it was hi the
times' of Baker and Speke,' said Fred
erick C. Selous to the correspondent of
the New Tork Times, who visited him
yesterday at his house in the heart of
Surrey. Mr. Selous has been reported
as being a correspondent of President
Roosevelt on the subject of the latter's
projected big game hunting expedition
on the completion of his Presidential
term. Probably no man is better' quali
fied to give the present occupant of the
White House advice on this subject
than this renowned African hunter.
Indeed, it is more than likely that had
the President made his own plans with
out seeking the counsel of somebody who
has already been over the ground of his
future cynegetlo exploits, he would have
caught at the very beginning of his
campaign some African fever, which
would have placed his life in much more
Berlous danger than could the wik
beasts he is after. Mr. Selous, it should
be mentioned, does not himself attributa
such Importance to his recommendations,
but that does -not decrease their value.
President's Plans Dangerous.
The President proposed to enter the
hippopotamus country by way of Egypt,
going, no doubt, by rail to Khartoum,
thence by steamboat to the headwaters
of the Nile. Stretching from this point
to the head of the Mombasa Railway
lies the country where big game most
abounds.
Mr. Selous. replying promptly to the
letter from Mr. Roosevelt in which this
scheme was outlined, pointed out that
the plan would plunge the President,
who has never been In Africa before.
Into the fever-ridden lowlands south of
Egypt without the slightest acclimatiza
tion. He pointed out that fever con
tracted at such an early stage In Africaii
experience might put a stop to the whole
expedition, if nothing worse came of it.
and offered the suggestion that the re
versal of the route would give an op
portunity of breathing the African air
first in the plateau country of British'
East Africa, from which the President
oould work slowly north, dropping grad
ually into the dangerous lowlands.
The Journey from the railhead of the
Mombasa line to the headwaters of the
Nile takes ordinarily three or four
months, and the track need be-through'
British territory only. .The country Is
trackless and the Journey will have to be
made partly with horses and mules and
partly afoot.
Quick Time to Interior.
"Yon can go from London to Mombasa
In 19 days," said Mr. Selous. "There
agents will find for you guides, porters
and all necessities. In less than tw9
days more you are at the railhead, an?
when you leave the train your game Is
at hand. SHU these advantages have
another side. In the days when I first
went to Africa man was sovereign where
he "hunted, and hunted aa he listed.
"Now game laws have come Into being
all over Africa. ine aark continent is
practically partitioned among the Euro
pean nations, ail of which enforce laws
against the slaughter of game. In no
English possessions are the natives al
lowed guns, an order which, while not
primarily for the protection of game,
saves the big animals in the remote in
terior districts where hunting cannot be
supervised.
"The restrictions on the white hunter
also are rigid. He is unable to . shoot
without a permit from the authorities;
ha Is tbn licensed to shoot only a cer

tain number of each big animal. For
example, two lions and from one to fiv.fl
or six each of all other animals in the
slightest danger from the too enthus
iastic Bportsman or the too avariciou
professional hunter."
However, according to Mr. Selous, Mr.
Roosevelt will nnd no lack of big game
in Africa. Even giraffes, which are er
roneously thought to be nearly extermi
nated, are' numerous around the equator,
ranging over vast stretches of the con
tinent at the "widest part, thriving in a
country not treeless, but too dry to sup:
port the natives.
There are, he says, only three animals
nearly or quite extinct In all the list of
African fauna, namely, a species of zebra
almost strlpeless, the grayish hippopota
mus known as the white hippo, and t
certain kind of antelope. Almost all the
others are so numerous and so fearless
that they range within gunshot of the
railway lines and will not depart at the
sight of a train. Elephants and Hons
are sometimes seen from the car win
dows, and animals of the less voracious
sort Boon come to know that a gun is
never fired from a train.
Mr. Selous' house, near Worplesdon, to
two miles from the railway station, in
the heart of the most densely wooded
Surrey country. A remarkable collec
tion of trophies, collected during 20 years
of hunting in Africa, are gathered in
private museum alongside the residence.
BABY IS LURED TO DEATH
Falls From High Window in Chase
" After Moths.
NEW TORK. July 18. The host of
white-winged moths that again appeared
last evening caused the death of one child,
Frank Stevens. 3 years old. The little boy
Stood at one of the rear windows of his
parents' home on the top floor of the
house last night and Jumped up and down
when he saw the little moths flutter past
the window. Finally, excited by the
numbers of moths that Sew about the
window attracted by the light within,
the child climbed upon the window sill
to reach them and before his parents

neath. He was almost instantly killed.
The myriads of white moths that have
swept down town the last two days,

mologlsts to be the descendants of the
great army of measuring worms that af

It is off to the merry woodland with its
shady dells and swiftly flowing mountain
streams for several hundred Portland
sportsmen who have longed for mid-July
and the opportunity to enjoy their annual
vacation. In seeking the quiet and health
giving atmosphere of the woods, each of
the sportsmen has taken along his trusty
rifle or shotgun, for, beginning July 15,
the Oregon law permits the killing of
deer for the short time allotted each year.
Camp luggage, hunting togs and the
required paraphernalia for the enjoyment
of camp life, have been packed and
shipped away to the railway station near
est to the scene selected for the annual
outing. Fishing tackle has likewise been
burnished up, new flies purchased and
packed safely away with the balance of
the damping outfit. The sportsman
knows that the law limits each hunter to
but one deer in the season, therefore the
tackle will be found quite useful when
the desire for a buck has been satisfied.

a Maxwell -won the Deming Trophy. Again, a Maxwell runabout was
the only one of all pilot cars to complete the tour. One identical Max
well competed in every Glidden Tour and is still running as good as ever,
We competed in these Tours. '
BECAUSE tney 8ave chance to show publicly that Maxwell -cars ar
superior in many ways to high-priced automobiles.
INFLUENCED by a spirit of trade jealousy of the Maxwell and its many
triumphs over them, the Glidden-Tour Rules have been so modified as to
let the high-priced cars down easy if they lose.
HOW RIDICULOUS to expect us to enter a contest in which tha
losing high-priced car can minimize or excuse defeat by pointing to
schedule which made its running time 30 to 45 minutes faster a day.

days gone by, but laws are being framed
each year which draw the lines closer and
protect the denisens of the forests from
these human gluttons. When the Oregon
Legislature convenes next January, bet
ter game laws will be enacted than are
now enrolled upon the statutes. The Ore
gon Fish and Game Association is active
in this work and by the time the solons
assemble at Salem, some meritorious bills
will be presented for their approval.
But to return to the outing season. It
might be well to call attention to some of
the many sportsmen's paradises within the
confines of our state.
Tillamook, Clatsop. Columbia, Lincoln,
Tamhill. Douglass, Linn, Lake, Clacka
mas. Wasco. Hood River, Coos, Curry and
several other counties present fine oppor
tunities for camping parties.
Alsea Bay District Popular.
A few miles Inland from the beach south
of Newport is one of the most Ideal and
advantageous regions for the sportsman.
This game paradise is in the Alsea Bay
country, and is reached quite easily from
Newport. The many little streams origin
ating in the Coast Range and emptying
Into the Pacific by way of Taqulna and
Alsea Bays, furnish opportunities for
fishing nd hunting that are surpassed
nowhere on the continent. Not only are
there deer to be' found in the foothills
adjacent, but bear also are to be had,:
providing the huntsman possesses the re-:
quired knowledge of woodcraft to find his
quarry.
Xejhalem Easy of Access.
The headwaters of the Nehalem, close
to the boundary between Tillamook and
Washington Counties, presents induce
ments that are quite attractive to many
enthusiasts of the rod and gun. This
locality is also comparatively easy of ao
cess, and Is but very little known to the
average huntsman.
The headwaters of the Clackamas River,'
near the divide between .Mount Hood and
Mount Jefferson, also abound in deer.i
The Bunker Hill district near St. Helens
In Columbia County, is another spot;
becoming popular with the Summeri
huntsmen. This spot is across the hills
west of Deer Island, and is near the
headwaters of the Clatskanle River. I
Bountiful fishing can also be had In
this territory.
Still another paradise for sportsmen
is the McKenzle River country, adja
cent to the Belknap and Foley mineral
springs, in Lane County. This section
of Oregon's paradise for sportsmen is
reached either from Albany or Eugene,

NEW TORK, July 18. Tacht challenge,
rumors for the America's cup continue to
crop out with considerable frequency this
season, but despite the desires that have
been repeatedly expressed by Sir Thomas

statement from Sir Thomas Llpton is to
the effect .that he Is willing to challenge
with a 90-footer, the largest size boat
allowable by the deed of gift. No com
munication on the subject In any way has
been received by the New Tork Tacht
