In addition to the Turners, from Portland, the Turn Verelns of Seattle. Taeoma, Spokane. Salt Lake. San Francisco. Oak land, Stockton. I,os Angeles, as well as British Columbia and other points, have entered teams, and the competitions for the various prizes offered will be keen. The Portland Turners have long borne the reputation of doing nothing In a half hearted way. Realizing that the Seattle Exposition affords an opportunity not to bs overlooked. The Portland Turn Verein decided to send its best athletes of both fcxes to that competition, and the re sult is that Physical Direcor Genserowski Is now In Seattle in charge of his most ex pert athletes. Members of the Teams. . In addition to Professor Genserowski, who for some time was the physical in structor of the Illinois Athletic.

Meet Best In Northwest. The team, composed of 14 "actives," Is expected to compete with the best male athletes who are likely to rep resent any other Turn Verein of the North Pacific Association. The events comprising the "active" list in the com petition are the horizontal bars, paral lel bars, long and side exercises on the horse, shotput. high Jump, 100 yard dash, broad Jump, hand-over-hand rope climbing, wrestling, flying- somer saults, high diving and other events.

This class will compete in practically the same exercises as the "actives."

The Portland Turners will also be represented at Seattle with a mixed chorus of 50 voices at the sangerfest which will be held in conjunction with the athletic programme.

JEFFRIES VILIi NOT REFEREE Personal Feelings Too Strong for Fair Decision, Says Fighter. MONTREAL, June 1.-James J. Jef fries refused to referee the fight between' Stanley Ketchel and Jack Johnson next October, although requested by Ketchel to act. Jeffries said today: "Ketchel wants me to referee his fight with Johnson, but it would not be con istent. I am heart and soul with Ketch el in that fight. I want to see him win. I make no bones about that sentiment. Hjw would It look for me to get into the ring as referee with that feeling- "My sympathies are with Ketchel. or any other white man who fights Johnson for the championship, and I hope that Ketchel will defeat, him for it will simply save me the trouble."

MANY FIGHTS AHEAD TryTng to Bring Johnson and Kaufman to Terms. 20 ROUNDS IS TOO SHORT Limit or 45 Rounds Proposed by Promoters Xelsou Going After Easy Money Xeill and Monte Attell to Fight. BY HARRY B. SMITH. SAN FRANCISCO. Cal.. June 12. (Spe cial.) Jimmy CofEroth is just now en gaged in dickering for a heavyweight match between Jack Johnson and Al Kaufman. This pair signed articles in New York recently for a match, but stipulated that if the fight take place in California, it will be no longer than 20 rounds. This last clause does not suit Coffroth nor does It satisfy Billy Delaney, who Is managing Kaufman. Coffroth argues that the public is too wise to be fooled by a 20-round fight be tween the pair. He says there might ba two or three interesting rounds, but on the whole, it would be a slow affair. He also Intimates that In a 20-round fight, Johnson would be able to do prettv much as he pleased with the California" black smith. Delaney argues from a different stand point. He says that -Kaufman is not so much of a boxer as he is a fighter. The veteran believes that, while Kaufman might not be able to outpoint Johnson, he would wear the negro down in a long fight of. say, 45 rounds. Coffroth has written to Johnson in the East and if he can Induce the man to sign for a long fight, will stage the match on Admission Day, September 9, when he would be sure to pull a record house. Easy Money for Xelson. Battling Nelson has left San Francisco on his way to Oklahoma City, where he will get some easy money fighting Jack Clifford on Juno 22. Clifford, never a champion, has passed his prime. He was knocked out by Nelson in Salt Lake City and since then has been fighting second and third-raters in six-round bouts at the so-called amateur clubs. - The Oklahoma Club wasn't particular who was signed to go against Nelson and assuredly the Battler is satisfied. After that match, the Dane is scheduled to go te'i rounds with Al Wolgast. a feather weight, before Tom MeCarev's Lo Angeles Club. That match will probably take place on July 12 or IS. After that he figures to return to San Francisco, aa Coffroth has promised him a match with the best lightweight In sight. The next fight on the calendar is a 20 round dash between two bantamweights 'V' -.IS V5i I rOWJ' Reist!h' H' N,c,as- Eel Schachtmeyer. Second row-A Eymes A liVfuJ Third r--" Frankie Neil and Monte Attell. Frankie has been fighting in and around New York for the past few months, but the game has slowed up and he was willing enough to return to the Coast. Frankie was beaten several times by Abe Attell and as It is surmised that he will not relish being knocked out bv Abe's younger brother the contest ought to be of the slarabang style. Monte was considerably disappointed when Johnny Coulon. the self-styled bantamweight champion of the world, drew out of his match. If he can beat Frankie in good style, however, it is quite likely that Coulon will be forced to come out of his shell and defend his title. The fight will take place next Sat urday. June 19. at the Mission-street arena. Leach Cross Coming West. The week following, June 26, it is ex pected that Leach Cross, the New York lightweight, and Dick Hyland will have a 45-round contest. In spite of the fact that he was defeated by Nelson. Hyland made a good impression on the fans. Cross is known by reputation only. He had a 10-round fight with Hyland in New York and had the shade. If Cross can beat Hyland he will be considered as a suitable opponent for Battling Nel son. For July 5. The piece de resistance, however, will be the Stanley Ketchel-Billy Papke. fight on July 5. The . two mlddleweights have put up so many sensational battles that the arena will be well crowded. Papke, who was considered a down and outer,' came back to life when he stowed Hugo Kelly away in a round last Slay. He Burely was in superb condition for that tight, and for that reason many of the fans give him a chance against Ketchel . a American Association. At Toledo Toledo 4, Kansas City 3.

Matters were at a standstill temporarily today in the Patton insane asylum scandal growing out of the violent death of Henry Grassmee, a patient at the In stitution, pending further proceedings against Berg, now In jail at San Ber nardino. It was stated at the Patton asylum today that an official investigation of the management would probably de pend upon the result of the proceed ings against Berg. No complaint has been filed against Berg, who tells an apparently straight story of the af fair, in which he says he was over worked, having too many patients to look after and therefore no oportunity to prevent them from doing- violence to each other.

PARIS, June 12. (Special.) Very inter esting experiments are just now being made with the French army steerable balloon, the Lebaudy, with a view to the discovery of the best expedients for its safety In the open air at all times. As ive,,eperlence of the Patrie and the Dulli Secundus has proved, the most dif ficult thing is to maintain a steerable balloon anchored at a given point outside a balloon house. A sudden whirl squall or a gale Is fatal, and as under war con ditions it is not possible to command the elements, the war authorities are trying to discover a way to command the bal loon. The Lebaudy is the oldest airship of the steerable style in the Frehch army and was built in 1903. It is deficient, therefore. In many of the improvements contained in the later balloons, and the authorities, therefore, prefer to risk it rather than the more up-to-date dirigi bles. For the last three days the Le baudy has been taken out of its shed in all kinds of winds and anchored some distance from Chalals Meudon. It would be no great wonder, therefore, if the Le baudy should follow the example of the Patrie. But so far it seems to have escaped disaster. The army authorities consider that to derive the utmost benefit from a steerable, it should be able to follow an army in full campaign i all kinds of weather. As sheds to shelter such huge things are impossible, a way must toe found for steadying an aerial warship in the open anywhere, even against a strong wind. What special devices the army balloonists are resorting to is. of course, not known, as the greatest secrecy is be ing observed. Police to Catch Truants. NEW YORK, June 12. Commencing next October, every school child in New York, and there are more than 600,000, will be given an official number, so that each child may be quickly iden tified. Under the law the police become the truant officers of the city, and the law compels them to stop every child of school -age seen out of school. Tho child must give his number to the police officer and must have a suf ficient excuse for absence from school else he will-be taken to the nearest police station and his parents notified. Each child's number will be printed on an official card, which the child" must carry all the time. Cards will be dis tributed by the police, who are -called upon by the new law to make a thor ough school canvass within one month's time during the Fall.

McCay Sold to Mobile Seals Come Northward With Laurels, Though Corbett Has Fallen Down. Lane Deserts Outlaws. . BT HARRY B. SMITH. . SAN FRANCISCO, Cal.. June 12. (Spe cial.) Baseball happenings of the week have been devoted largelyxto the doings or rather the undoings of the Oakland club. As in the case of all baseball teams that have struck the toboggan, the Oaklanders have been trying to strengthen themselves. There has nat urally been a wall for something new, and Manager Bill Reidy is trying to sup ply the demand. Whether he will be able to improve the situation remains to be seen, but at ajl events he Is, trying heroic measures. I don't know when the release of a Dlaver has Caused aa murh on ... , l downright feeling as that of George Vanf .aitren. who was let go so summarily this wek by the Commuters. It was not so much the release as the way It came. Just a cold-'blooded business proposition, according to the club. Van was getting so that he couldn't cover as much ter ritory as he once did and the club needed a change. Stories of Friction. It has been whispered there was fric tion between Van Haltren and Reidy. The fans will remember that some months ago. when Reidy was a twlrler with the Oaks, it was Van Haltren who released him. Possibly the old man found it hard to step down from the position of authority. It is only fair to state, how ever, that this story of trouble is dented both by Van Haltren and Rldy. ' When Bill took charge of the club he stated that he thought Van Haltren the best player on the team and that as long as the veteran cared to remain h would have a berth. Time works changes, however. Van Haltren has but little to say of the matter. He does declare that he has plenty of baseball left and that he will be glad to sign with any team thut wants his services, either in organized baseball or with the independents. There has been some talk of arranging a George Van Haltren day. If there Is any jjlayer on the Coast who is deserving of such recognition if Is Van Haltren. He has done much for baseball and. while t is true that he has made a good liv ing, the game owes him something Just the same. McCay Sold to Mobile. pitcher for Dugdale and has this year been playing the infield and acting as PMihnf om""ters. has been sold to Mobile. McCay lhs been hitting the up to snuff. He says his wife's health has not been good on the Coast and that climate. It was expected that Oakland would secure an innelder from Mobile Sv way of trade, but it turned out that it was a sale pure and simple. For the time being Pitcher Christian will hold down second base, although Reidy Is taming of trying out Fitzslmmons,. an innelder who has been doing good work as In r wltn St. Mary's College Seals at Home Again. an Francisco returned home this week after a strenuous series with the Ange?s in which the honors went to the San Francisco club, that took four of the IZVti BameS" That was a eood showing considering the Angels were on their home grounds, and Danny Long Is very well satisfied with the team Seai?sreAna7hbeen n bad breaks fr the aid if tLt ,n are In Sd snPe and.

Corbett was used in an exhibition game here last ?tdayK ?s?inst Oakland. He won. all right, but he was forever getting Into bad holes. Corbett still has that la?ge assortment of curves that made him such a wonderful pitcher, but he hast the same control. In the days gone by Cor bett with two strikes and three baMs would send a curve across the plate. Now adays, he can t do that thing as nicely. Ma Ire Is Released. Another State Leaguer was brought Into organized baseba.ll this - last week Oakland released Pitcher Malre Ind e f "edLane. twirler who has been with the San Francisco State League Lane was traded by the San Francisco outlaws to Stockton, but didn't care to go to Danny Shay's team. He is a big fellow with plenty of speed, but, like so many pitchers of that type, hasn't the necessary control. , Cal Bwing Is trying "out. a new umpire. His name-is Atkinson and he hails from the Southern part of the state. He has 7!ijis in doub"e harness with Jack McCarthy for the past week. Atkin son seems to have a good eye on balls and strikes and if he has the necessary discipline, they may get along all right. Trouble Over Druhot. The fact that McCredie has grabbed Collie Druhot, may cause another rumpus in Coast League circles. The powers that be seem to think that McCredie resorted to a subterfuge when he signed Druhot They declare that he had Druhot pitch one game for the outlaws and then signed him up. Los Angeles has started a story to the effect that Henry Berry may be the next president of the Pacific Coast League. That seems a bit far fetched. Henry is a good fellow but I doubt if he would care to undertake the toils and tribulations that could come with the presidency. American Horses Get Place. PARIS, June 12.

BRITISH CHASE MULLAH ANOTHER EXPEDITION GOES IN SEARCH OF RAIDER. . Nation Has Already Spent Over $25,000,000 to Put Leader Down Without Avail. CAIRO, June 12.-Special.) It was announced the other day that Sir F. R. Wingate. the Sirdar, was "proceeding to Berbera on a special mission for a few weeks." The nature of his special mission was not dlsclfced, but the Co lonial Office gave out that it was to be combined with "an inquiry into the possibility of developing new markets for Sudanese trade In the Red Sea ports." Military men are not usually em ployed to develop new markets, and. with all deference to the Colonial Of fice, It may be assumed that Sir F. Wingate" trip to Berbera was to be mainly taken up with supervising and reporting upon the situation In Somali land. This is the more likely, inas much as May and June are the critical months. out there. They are the months when the rains break, when the deserts become passable, when flocks and herds are moved here and there, as the Incidence of local showers provides grazing and fills the water-holes, and, most important of all, when the Mullah Afraid of Ghosts Many people are afraid of ghosts. Few people are afraid of germs. Yet theT ghost is a fancy and the germ is a fact. If the germ could be magnified to a size equal to its terrors it would appear more terrible than any fire-breathing dragon. Germs can't be avoided. They are in the air we breathe, the water we drink. The germ can only prosper when the condition of the system gives it free scope to establish it self and develop. When there is a deficiency of vital force, languor, restlessness, a sallow cheek. a hollow eye, when the appetite is poor and the sleep is broken, it is time to guard against the germ. You can fortify the body against all germs by the use of Dr. Pierce's Gold en Medical Discovery. It increases the vital power, cleanses the system of clogging impurities, enriches the blood, pats the stom ach and organs of digestion and nutrition in working condition so that the germ finds no weak or tainted spot in which to breed Golden Medical Discovery " contains no alcohol, whisky or habit-forming drugs.

And just now the British are engaged In another attempt to put down the Mullah. Their experience in Somali land has not been a happy one. In the past eight or nine years they have fought the Mullah alone, and have fought him In alliance with the Abys slnians. They have fought him under the Foreign Office, and under the In dian government; and the Colonial Of fice is now trying its hand at the old problem. He has beaten them or all but beaten them once; and they have heartily drubbed him two or three times. But the upshot of it all is that he is still alive and active, merrily raiding the tribes under British protection, and most reprehensively oblivious of the embarrassments of a government that is anxious above all things to econo mize. The British have spent already J25.000.000 or so in chasing him about the desert, and he is apparently per fectly willing that they should spend $25,000,000 more. Marriages Licenses.
