Summary Release of Van Hal

Veteran Fans.
BOTH MEN AND WOMEN GO
Special Car Chartered to Carry Well
Trained Organizations to Com
pete In Games at the Ex
position. The Portland Social Turn Verein, an
athletic organization fostered by the
German citizens of Portland for many
years past, yesterday showed its enter
prising spirit by sending over 70 well
trained men and women athletes to Se
attle to compete In the North Pacific
Turnerbund. which takes place at the
Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition, begin
ning tomorrow.
The Portland Turners chartered a spe
cial car which was attached to the
Northern Pacific train, leaving here yes
terday morning, and the entire party was
enthusiastic over the prospects of Port
land's success in the competitions. 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. Club of
Chicago, the Portland party at Seattle
comprises the following:
Women's class Hazel O'Brien, Nell
llorney, Katherlne lorney. Louise Mil
ler. Anna Hrlngmann. Emma Pupke,
Emma Wilhelm. Christine Ballin, Ger
trude Hablghorst. Louise Miller. Anna
Joos. Louise Bolan. Anna Hochuli, Min
nie Hablghorst. Hazel Hendrix, Eva
Fanning and Helen Buck.
Men's class J. Reisch, H. Nlclas, Ed
Pehaehtmeyer, A. Eymes. A. Baumgar
ten. Will Emig. Rudolph Hochuli, A.
Pi'hachmann. E. Hoch, E. Smith, A. Zel
ler. Adolph Plebuck, E. Puckle and J.
Zeller.
In addition to the athletes. Henry
Hanno and several others accompanied
the party to Seattle, while Theodore
Troutmann. president of the Portland
Social Turn Verein. Secretary Winter
and Charles Kirchner. one of the di
rectors of the association, will leave
for Seattle tomorrow night to be pres
ent at the competition.
lTnder the direction of Professor
Genserowski. the Portland, Turners
have developed some creditable drills
and gymnastic exercises, and when
these are presented at the Seattle com
petition the Portland athletes expect to
capture first honors.
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.
In addition to the "actives," the asso
ciation is also to be represented by 12
members of the business men's class,
or the division represented by mem
bers over 30 years of age. This class
will compete in practically the same
exercises as the "actives."
Probably the most interesting feature
of the Portland Turners' work will be
the performances of the class of 18
women, who have been drilled in va
rious athletic exercises by Professor
Genserowski until they have attained
the proficiency of men In athletic
stunts.
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. The Turner
Imnd is scheduled for June 12. 13 and
At the last meeting of the Portland
Social Turn Verein the directors voted
to send Physical Director Genserowski,
Rudolph Hochuli and William Emig to
the national meet to be held at Cin
cinnati June IS to 27. and this party
will leave Seattle immediately after the
Turnerbund is concluded.
Professor Robert Krohn, of the Mult
nomah Amateur Athletic Club, and Pro
fessor Genserowski have been selected
by the National Turners' Association as
officials of the big tournament at Cin
cinnati. 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

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

BERG SAYS OVERWORKED
Asylum Attendant Attributes Pa
tient's Death to Other Insane.
LOS ANGELES, June 12. 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.

SEEK BALLOON SAFETY
FRENCH WAR DEPARTMENT IS
MAKING EXPERIMENTS.
Some Method of Making Airships
Controllable In Heavy AVeather
Is Looked For.
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.

FRICTION WITH REIDY?
McCay Sold to Mobile Seals Come

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

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

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.

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

is able to make the most of his mo
bility. 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.
