One More Worn-out Scrapper
Gathered to Pugilistic
Scrap-Heap.

BT HARRY B. SMITH.
PAX KKAXCiaCO. Oct. 1. Special Cor
respondence.) Another popular idol of
Ban Francisco has been gathered to the
scrap heap. Eddie Hanlon. after being
decisively beaten by Owen Moran,
featherweight, has decided that he is out
of the game. That la a hard admis
sion for a prizefighter to make. Even
old Fltzsimnions thinks that he haa
punrh loft and la atlll searching for a
match instead of a berth in the Old
People's Home.
Hanlon went down gamely enough: no
ftghtrr could have made a better finish.
but he i out and out for good. An old
axiom of the rim? has been proved again.
It Is that a lighter who quits the game
for a year or more haa quit It for good
as far as his usefulness as a bllTer goes
In looking over Hanlon's career it
would seem that it haa been one long
succession of mistakes. When he was
barely more than a boy he was put up
against ton-notchers. At li he was fight
lug oung t'orbett. who was then at his
best. Instead of being gradually worked
Into the business he was put against
the toughest in It. That waa bad man-
segment.
Take Eritt. He was no better than
Hanlon and showed no more promise in
his early days but he was carefully
hamllori. Brother Villus hunted men for
him that he could whip. What was the
result? Brltt acquired money, glory and
experience and held the championship
of the world for a while. Now, he Is
coinfortablely fixed and Is traveling in
Kurope. That was good management
.and much of the credit is due to Brother
""Wtllus. Had Hanlon been half as care
fully handled there Is no telling to what
height he might have' attained. As it
Is he Is out of the game, though he is
still young and has not had half of
what was coming to him. In these days
management Is half the game.
Moran Has Illph Ambitions.
What doyou think Moran Is after now?
Nothing more nor less tlutn the scalp of
Battling Nelson. The cocky little Eng
lishman has been having the halluctna
tlon that American lightweights are not
so many and his defeat of Hanlon
clinches that belief. He thinks that he
can chip the Dtjno to pieces in a short
fight and will be camping on his trail
until be gets a match.
To experts it does not seem from
Moran s showing with Hanlon that he
has a chance with the Battler. He
showed that he does not like the boring
ln fighter. Hanlon fights much the same
as the Dane and weak as he was he hurt
lloran lth body punches. If Hanlon
can make him wince with downstairs
blows Nelson could pound out his wind
in a few rounds.
It seems certain that Paeky M.-Farland
and Nelson will meet here some time this
year. Parky Is eager for the meeting
and Nelson will probably be induced to
sign for several reasons. One of them Is
the meeting of the lillfornia legislature,
whlrh may take a fall out of the fight
game. It is now possible to hold long
fights at ColTroth's pavilion, at Colma.
and Nelson likes the long route. When
he begins to fear that the Legislature
may kill the extended round game he
may sign to beat them to It. That la
one of the arguments which Promoter
0-ffroth will use to bring him around.
Abe Attell has refused an offer to fight
Jim Prtscoll. the English featherweight
In New York. Drlscoll is the toughest
and the cleverest in the game on the
other side of the pond and would put up
a great battle with the Hebrew fighter.
Several of the local promoters are work
ing to get this go and it may come to
California.
Mnran-Attcll Controversy.
The Moran-Attell controversy will
probably never be settled here. The
fans will not stand for anything but
a finish fight between the pair, and
Attell declares that he will not go
over 10 rounds. Attell Jumped into
Hanlon's corner during the fight Wed
nesday night and gave Cute the bene
fit of his a.ivi.-e.
Stanley Ketchel Is rusticating in the
woods at present. There are many
here who believe that he will hang it
on Papke when the pair meet again.
With a pair like Papke and Ketchel it
depends much on -who gets In the first
punch. They are like a pair of Fili
pino fighting cocks wearing long gaffs.
One strike and It Is all over. A dung
hill rooster has as much chance in this
style of fighting as the best bred
chicken. It Is much the same with a
pair of fighters like Papke and KetcheL
James Howard Britt. who made the
ulna bone famous, will soon be back
from Paris and will probably be about
This will be the last big cleanup of
the flat builder if he gets the match,
for NeNon will certainly dispose of
htm if they met again. Brltt has de
clare,! In London that he will return
to the ring for one more fight.
Kven Packy McKarland's strongest
admirers here do not figure that he
has a chance with Nelson. The Pane
shaped up so wonderf ully with Gans
that It looks as though there is no
lightweight today who can give him
a run over the long route.
Now that the Johnson-Burns match
t Australia seems to be off again,
littrns m:iy be induced to take on Al
Kaufman when he returns to America,
which will probably be soon. There
S no chance of his meeting Squires
acain. Kven the Australians are now
convinced that their champion has no
how with the American. Kaufman
Is now In the East taking on all com
ers for short bouts. Who do you

Joe Grim, the Iron man. It Is to lauglu
It is hardly possible that Burns would
stoop to take this money.

WASHINGTQN ELEVEN LIGHT
COACH DOBIE HAS HARD WORK
BEFORE HIM.
Few Experienced Men In Line Posi
tions Team's First Game Id
Listless Exhibition.
SEATTLE, Wash.. Oct. 3-Opeclal.)-
With the first few weeks of the college
year past and the season far enough
advanced to get a tentative estimate of
football material, the prospects at the
University of Washington are not bright.
Plenty of men are turning out and the
coach is first class but the material Is
not of the best. Coach Doble has the
quantity but not the quality. His men
are light and inexperienced. The lack of
old men was noticeable in the game last
Saturday with the Lincoln High School,
the first practice match of the season.
The line material is very ordinary. Out
side of Captain Tegtmeier, who is already
out by reason of injury, there is not a
big man trying out for a line position.
Jarvis was out for two days, but on the
third day his ear was badly torn in a
scrimmage and he was ordered not to
turn out for three weeks. The season
will by that time be too far advanced
for him to work to advantage, so he has
decided to keep out for the rest of the
year.
Captain Beck has been playing center
in the practice games. He plays hard
and Is a fighter and may hold his own
with most of his opponents, but he lacks
both experience and weight. The other
line candidates have never been heard of
football players, with the exception
of Westover, who played In the back
field for the Washington High School last
year and Mackay, who was end on the
siime team. Both were good men and
Westover has a big reputation as a
plunging fullback, but both ere light
varsity material and It remains to be
seen what they can do in the line.
The timber for the back field is not bad.
Covle. the famous Washington High
School quarterback. Is at the pivotal posi
tion regularly. He handles the team well
but he is deficient on the defensive.
There Is little doubt Washington will
be s strong behind the line this year
as it was last, although both Wand and
Murkelstone, the halfbacks, are lighter
than Clarke. Trott and Bagshaw, who
played In those positions last year. Willes
will probably play fullback.
Doble must develop a last, gingery
team If he Is to make a showing. A
heavy, strong team is out of the ques- i
tlon. Washington must rely on strategy,
tricks and speed. So far this season the
team has shown none of these qualities.
For years past spectators and critics
have complained that the Washington
eleven did not have the fight and en
thusiasm that are essential to a winning
aggregation. Doble Is Just the man to
produce those attributes, if his players
have It in them, wneiner tney nave or
not remains to be seen. At present they
have manifested little of It.
TWO BIG HOTELS BURN
Guests Have Narrow Escapes Loss
More Than $150,000.
BOSTON. Oct. 1. Two of the largest
hotels. Crest Hall and the Ocean View
Hotel, and three valuable Summer cot
tages were destroyed by fire here early
today, with a loss estimated at more
than $150,000. Mrs. A. C. Dumont, of
Cincinnati, who was a guest at Crest
Hall, was reported by the police as
missing, and men were waiting at noon
for the ruins to cool so that they could
be searched. There were nearly 100
guests In the two hotels, and many had
narrow escapes. Few persons were
able to save anything of their proper-
tv. as the hotel buildings were prac
tically burned to the ground.
The fire started at midnight in the
kitchen of the Crest Hall. A strong
north wind swept the flames directly
down the beach, and only the timely
arrival of aid from. Boston, Chelsea
and Revere, It is believed, saved a large
part of the valuables from destruction
by fire.

Multnomah and Willamette to
Meet Saturday.
CLUB HAS STRONG SQUAD
Although Several Old Stars Will
Xot Join Team This Season,
Plenty of Xew Material
Is at Hand.
The Xlrst football game of the season of
1908 in Portland will tie played on the
Multnomah Club gridiron next Saturday
afternoon between the Willamette Uni
versity eleven and the Multnomah Ama
teur Athletic Club team. The fact that
this will be the initial match of 'the year
and that the contesting teams are old
rivals, necessarily means that a consider
able amount of enthusiasm will be mani
fested In the event.
The Multnomah Club men have been
busy for the past two weeks rounding Into
form for the long season In truth - the
longest playing season in this country.
Manager Martin Pratt, assisted by Cap
tain Plowden Stott, has charge of the
club's destinies this year and no two bet
ter men could be found to do the hard
work. Pratt has been the most faithful
of all the winged "M" warriors, having
played for a dosen years and never In all
that time afraid to sacrifice his health
or his time to help out the team. Pratt
will not play this year. This will be a
big loss to the team as he was without an
equal In the position of tackle on the
Pacific Coast. There is no doubt whatever
but Pratt could have made any college
team in this country had he desired. Two
years ago in the Seattle-Multnomah game

suffers from the effect of that injury.
His physician advised him not to play last
year but at the request of Ills brother
clubmen, he joined the squad and played
the entire year. In the benefit game for
the Visiting Nurses' Association, Pratt
suffered a broken nose. Now he feels that
he has had enough.
Another star that -will be missed from
the firing line 18 last year's captain, Frank
J. Lonergan, who Is now a busy young
attorney at Oregon City. Lonergan was
one of the most dashing players ever seen
in this part of the country and his dar
ing end running and broken field per
formances will be memories only this
year.
As successor to Lonergan much is ex
pected from Frank Slaker, a former star
fullback on the University of Chicago,
and later one of Stanford University's
crack performers, Slaker, during his col
lege days, was considered the best line
bucker In the game and received high
praise from the football writers. Slaker
will be used in the back field either at full
or half. "Bud" James, after a year's rest,
has returned to the squad and will try
out for fullback. James is a splendid
kicker and may play a line position and
do the punting for the team.
Then there is the celebrated Dow
Walker, who made such a tremendous hit
on the club team last year and has won
derful speed for a heavy man. He will
be played at a tackle position. Bert Pil
klngton. whose work last year was splen
did, will also be in the opening games
either at guard or tackle. Pilklngton is
fast enough for an end or back field posi
tion and will be a valuable asset to the
squad.
Captain Stott will probably play in the
backfield in the first match, while Harry
Lltt will officiate at quarter. George
Carlson, center for the past two years. Is
back in bis old position passing the ball
with snap and accuracy.
There Is a possibility of Jack Latourette,
a former star on the University of Ore
gon, ooroing out for quarterback. 6hould
Latourette Join the team he will be a
source of great strength to it. B. D.
Townsend, of the University of Minnesota,
has not yet reported for practice. Town
send is a broad-shouldered young man and
is associated with the Government in the
Department of Justice in this city. He is
an all-round athlete and much is expected
of him when he garbs himself in the
moleskins.
Among the other players who have
turned out are Sterling, Rader, Sutler,
Nichols, Cronat, and several others.
George Alexander, who made a good
showing last year at halfback, is out of

LOSES MIND FROM LOSSES
Montenegrin Walks Over Burned
Ofl Land to St. Paul.
ST. PAUL, Minn., Oct. S. (Special)
Lving half buried In a caved-ln sand
bank. Vlncenty Gurrldi, a Montenegrin
was found under the Westminster-street
bridge in St. Paul. He was a victim of
the terrible forest fires on the Iron
Range and, crazed by the fear of the
fire and grieving over His lost farm ana
family, had walked all the way from
Chlsholm to St. Paul.
Gurrldl's feet were literally charred
from the hot cinders over which he had
walked. His legs were swollen to twice
their natural size and his clothes were
In rags. Near him were two suitcases
and a satchel, containing all that the fire
had left him. These he had carried with
him all the way on his terrible walk. The
man was found by children out playing.
They reported the matter to the police,
who had him taken to the City Hospital.
On reaching that institution the man was
pearly dead, but physicians have hopes of
his ultimate recovery. The toss or nis
home and family evidently preyed on his
mind to the extent that he nearly lost
hi. reason and he started to walk blindly,
and on reaching St. Paul fell exhausted
until discovered. He had prooaoiy Jam in
the sand for two days.

Coach Xorcross Begins Work With
Seven Veterans and Many Prom
ising Recruits Fine Meth
ods of Forbes, Coach.
BT REFEREE.
Football practice is on In earnest at
the various Northwest colleges, and by
the middle of the present month some
idea can be had as to the strength of
the various aggregations. Nothing but
preliminary practice has been indulged
in thus far, but there will be some
scrimmage work within the next tew
days. The squads at the different insti
tutions are larger than ever before, es
pecially at Eugene and Corvallis. Here
the coaches have their hands full, but
theweeding-out process will soon begin
and the squads reduced to their normal
size.
Coach F. S. Norcross has begun his
work at O. A. C. under most favorable
conditions. He has seven regular men
from last year's eleven, besides two or
three of the best substitutes and a good
list of reserves from the second team.
In addition to these the Aggies may have
Bennett and Barber, two of last sea
son's veterans who have not yet re
turned to college, but who are expected
back.
The Agricultural College seems to have
drawn a likely squad of freshmen play
ers, some of whom will make places on
the varsity. No team In the Paciflc
Northwest has a stronger array of vet
eran players. Many of the new men
are green, but there is enough old ma
terial in sight to guarantee a strong
eleven. With his seven veterans as a
nucleus, Norcross has to develop men for
four places an end, a tackle, a guard
and a halfback. With the supply of
good material at his command this
should not prove a difficult task.
Good Schedule for O. A. C.
The Agricultural College men were se
verely criticised last season for playing
so few games In the Northwest, and
there were many who were unwilling to
concede them the championship honors
because of their victory over Oregon.
This criticism has produced a whole
some effect upon the Corvallis manage
ment and games have been arranged
this year with WTiitman and Washing
ton, as well as with several minor teams.
The contest with Washington is to oc
cur in Seattle on October 31, and the
Whitman match is booked for November
14, at Corvallis. From present indica
tions Captain Wolff and his followers
ought to win both of these games and
come with a clean string of victories to
their, credit when they line up against
Oregon on Multnomah field on Novem
ber 21.
If Oregon and O. A. C each win their
schedule of early games, there will be a
record-breaking crowd for the big game
here.
Oregon Has Few Veterans.
Oregon's chances for a clean record
are not as good as those of her Corvallis
rival, for Oregon will play Idaho on the
tatter's home grounds on October 31.
Oregon has only a small bunch of vet
erans, but the supply of freshman ma
terial Is the best in the Northwest this
season and there are three or four old
reserves from the second team and sub
stitute list who are in line for the var
sity. The writer witnessed an sifter
noon's practice at Eugene a few days
ago and was Impressed with the meth
ods used by Coach Forbes. No funda
mental principle of the game, however
small. Is overlooked. No veteran, not
even such stars as Clark and Moullen,
is given any more consideration than the
youngest freshmen. Forbes is building
his team "from the ground up." His
chances for victory are not as good as
those of Coach Norcross, but he has a
fighting chance and is working hard to
develop his team. It is up to him to
make two ends, a tackle, a center and
two halfbacks. In Moullen, Plnkham,
Clark and Mclntyre he has four good
men, and in his list of last season's
scrubs there are a few players of var
sity strength.
Oregon's schedule includes games with
Idaho, Washington, Whitworth and "Wil
lamette, besides a practice game with
an alumni team. All these come before
the big game with O. A. C. and the an
nual Thanksgiving game with Multno
mah. The writer is of the opinion that
Oregon will win from Washington, but
the matches with O. A. C. and Idaho are
in the doubtful column. '
Few Old Men at V. of W.
Washington's prospects, which looked
so brilliant a month ago, seem to be on
the wane. Only three old men Willis,
Tegtmeier and Beck are playing this
year, and Tegtmeier is out on account
of an injury. Practice is going on be
hind closed gates, so little Is known
about the new men. From present indi
cations Washington is booked to get a
walloping from all her Northwest rivals,
with the possible exception of Whitman.
Idaho's prospects for victory are not
as good as was first anticipated, notwith
standing the fact that Quarterback Rod
ney Small has returned to college. Be
sides the three veterans lost by gradua
tion. Idaho has commenced her season
without Jelleck, Perkins and Johnson,
who failed to return to college. One
or two good reserves also failed to re
turn. Of the men who played against
Oregon last year, only six are again in
the harness. They are Savidge. Small.
Stokesberry, Smith. Thornton and Pauls.
Middleton. has a hard task cut out for
hlsi. but he is a good coach and his
rivals will be kept guessing until time
is called.
Pullman begins her season with a
small number of veterans and Coach
Rheinschild has expressed himself as
dissatisfied with the material on hand.
Whitman is also short on old men.
A detailed discussion of the prospects
of these Inland Empire teams will appear
In a subsequent article.
FOBBES BUSY Villi SQUAD
VARSITY LADS TURX OUT IN
NUMBER FOR PRACTICE.
Old Players Fast Rounding Into
Shape With Daily Work on
Oregon Campus.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene.
Or., Oct. 3. (Special.) Another week
of snappy practice finds Captain Moul
len and His. husky followers in first
class condition and every member of
the squad Is anxiously awaiting the
real hard work which is to begin soon.
The men are rounding out In fine
shape, with the exception of one or
two bruises sustained during the past
week.
As to prospects, little can be said at
this time. The men are working hard
and the large squad of 50 or more,
points strongly to a winning aggrega
tion when Coach Forbes selects the
final eleven. The men deserve great
praise this year for the spirit shown
in coming out to practice and also to
the observance of training rules, and
It is predicted that there will be some
close rivalry for the coveted positions
on the varsity team.
Assistant Coach Arnsplger can Just
ly be proud of his freshmen squad,
which is composed of ex-High School
stars and "prep" school players of
note. It Is safe to predict that either
Michaels or Latourette will make first
team quarter, for both men are show
ing up splendidly. Several other places
on the eleven may be chosen from the
freshmen ranks. Manager McEwen
is arranging several games for the
second team men as a reward for their
hard work.
Nearly all the old men are In good
condition. Clark was out of the game
for a day or so. but is playing again.
Plnkham Is gradually getting baok
into his old form and Glllis. who has
been out only a week, is showing up
like the rest of the veterans.
The other veterans are .Captain
Moullen, Mclntyre and Hurd, who
played halfback on the varsity In 1905.
The first game of the season will
be a practice match with the alumni
on October 17. Many stars of former
years are coming back, and a lively
struggle is expected. The season will
begin with a double-header, as tho
freshmen are scheduled to play the
West Portland High School the same
afternoon.
READS LIFE FROM NOSE
Nasology Replaces Palmistry as
Means of Fortune-Telling.
PARIS, Oct. 3. (Special.) Not palm
istry but nasology is the new fortune
telling science. An elderly lady has
just set up in the Latin Quarter, where
she reads your career from your nose.
She is doing a flourishing business.
The noses are examined by her long;
and carefully through a microscope,
and she finds better indications in
their marks and lumps than ever she
found before in the lines of the hands.
Hitherto It had been supposed that the
nose revealed only habits of Intemper
ance by Its hue, and that not Infallibly.
But the nasologlst says that that is a
grossly Ignorant misconception of an
exact science.
