BV V. J. PBTKAl.v.
IT anyone imagines it is fun to be a
worM's champion of either pugilism or
vvrcsttinar. bo should have a heart-to-)iea-t
talk wtih either James J. Jeffries
or Frank A. Ootcli. the premiers in
but It divisions. The big: fellows hove
their pleasurable moments, and really
nJoy live, but they have had a surfeit
of publicity, and await thet date when
the tourinsr ensruerement of tiie all-star
combination will end.
Jeffries and Gotch are in constant
training-, ar.il are anxious to relax a
little from the stringent rules of ath
letic dieting. They want to eut what
they piease. and do as they please
when in the company of friends, but
the athletic engagements of the two
hip premier!! forbid indulgence in cer
tain luxuries, and ca.lls for strenuous
exercises such as shown by Jeffries
at the Exposition rink Friday 11 is lit. .
The big pugilist's pprformanco' in
these training exercises is but a small
jortion of the activities he will take
tip as soon as he goes into. active train
ing, yet the demonstration of his phys
ical condition proved beyond (jtieotion
lhat he is far from b.'ing "all lu" or in
any Immediate danger of becoming' sd.
Agility Js Surprising.
The champion opened his exhibition
t the rink with a rupe-skippins- exhi
Mtion wht;:h hs maintained for three
minutes, displaying nstonls'.iing agliity
for so large a man. While this part of
liia diUly exercise enlightened fans, his
shadow-sparrlns, in which he holds
one-pound dumb-bells in each hand,
v,as another source of interest and
speculation on the part of spectators.
Bis: Jeff danced about, leadinpr and
feinting at an Imaginary opponent with
an utility that was surprising-. He
displayed his foot-work as of old.
and it was this feature of the big fel
low's ability in his ficrhtin;r days which
4-arncd him the reputation of being- the
fastest and cleverest of all the bis men
whomever entered the ring-.
"Vhi!e Ids rope-skipping and shadow
spa rring was enough to create the im
pression that "Jeff had come back."
hlH next e.cercise dispelled doubt as to
Ills condition. In the language of the
training: camp, it was a "stomach ex
ercise," or a means of hardening the
muscles of the abdomen, as well as
reducing corpulency. Sam Berger,
Jeff's manager, seated himself in a
chair, and directly in front of him Jef
fries occupied a seat without a back
rest attached.
Severe Exercise Kepeatetl.
In going through this exercise, the
big fellow secures a hold on the lower
rung of the chair occupied by Berger
as a counterweight, and bends back
ward until his head and sh'ouiiclers
practically touch the floor. Twelve
times the bigr fellow, weighing 228
pounds, alternately lowered and raised
his body in the straight backward mo
Hon. Then he followed this by repeat
ing the same exercise 12 times, with
the exception thathe followed a cir
cular motion, in which his head and
shoulders described a circle In swing
Jnjj up and down.
That Jefl'rl.-s Is able to handle him
self as well as ever was completely
demonstrated In the exhibition he gave
here. He asserts lhat whatever defect
may now , handicap hiln as" to lung
power may be obviated sufficiently by
outdoor exercises. He will Indulge in
these as soon as he completes his the
atrical tour. Jeffries' favorite topic is
hunting. In Portland he met several
old friends who pleased the big fellow
Immensely by dwelling- on new shoot
ing grounds and discussing big game
of Oregon and the Northwest.
.Terr Kr.ts lleiu-lil.v.
"Is Jeff dieting himself?" is a ques
tion heard frequently. When ques
tioned on this point the big fellow an
swered In the negative, saying by way
of explanation that he was abstaining
from certain starchy foods, but was not
stinting himself in eating. In the morn
ing he eats ham and eggs, and often
calls for more. Frank Gotch is the
"eater" of the all-star troupe. The
Iowa giant seems to relish his meals,
and can enjoy a feast on the slightest
of provocation. At noon Jeffries eats
a large steak, sometimes sprinkled with
onio'-is. but usually plain. He uses very
few side dishes, and eats heartily. "He
does not abstain from tea or coffee,
though he relishes a glass of apple
cider when It is possible to secure the
liquid fresh, as he found It in Port
land. Liquors, aside from claret or
port wines at meals, are barred with
the big fellow until after his battle
on July 4.
Before leaving for the North with the
troupe yesterday, Jeffries said: "I
liave been treated royally In Portland,
and I will always remember this city.
Tt has grown wonderfully since I was
last here, and I sincerely hope all my
friends here will enjoy continued pros
perity. I hope to justify the faith of
my friends, and J shall be prepared to
do so next July." '
Sa.m Berger received a telegram from
Jack Gleason yesterday announcing
That the promoter would meet him lit
Seattle this morning. Berger cannot
say what Gleason wants, unless It is
''that the San Francisco promoter
Imagines Rickard has confided in Ber
ger or Jeffries. This they both deny,
as well as discrediting the reported
quarrel between the promoters.

The result will show approximately the
comparative strength of all the teams
In the league, as Columbia is the only
team which has not yet competed.
The game last Wednesday between
Portland Academy and Lincoln Hisn
was won decisively by the high school
team, but Kunyan. P. A.'s crack center,
was out of the contest, and if his
strength is what It is reputed to be. the
two teams evidently would have been
about evenly matched. In all the re
maining games, the academy will have
Kunyan in the line-up and the chances
are that - the academics will tie for
first place with one or two teams.
Norris. playing forward, scored 13 or
the 14 points secured by his team, and
with the possible exception of Vospcr
was the strongest man In the game.
Cobb, all-around athlete, and counted
one of the strongest forwards in the
league, was unable to do anything in
Tuesday's game on account of the
great work of Toomey. who opposed
htm at left guard. Toomey was In the
game every minute, and stuck to his
man, never giving him a chance at a
basket.
Friday's game between AVashlngton
High School and Allen Preparatory
School was fast, the last half was a
reversal of the first. The Allen Preps,
up in the air during the first half, got
together during the final period and
for a while there was considerable
class to the kind of basketball they
put up. Jackson, of the Washingtons,
and Shaver and Harr, of the Aliens,
were the star performers.
Columbia University Is yet to be
heard from, but it Is generally con
sidered that with its heavy team the
university will be able to win out in
the majority of the samea.
Coach I-.ee. of the Lincoln High team,
yesterday expressetl the opinion that
Lincoln High, Portland Academy and
Columbia would tie for first place and
that in playing orf the tie P. A. would
probably win out. Lee expressed a
doubt that he would be able to arrange
his men so that they would win against
the Columbia quintet next Wednesday.

M' CAREY ACCORDS GUARANTEE
Webster Accepts Terms for Finish

Danny Webster, the Los Angeles

yesterday from Tom McCarey, tne Los

is informed that his demand for a
guarantee to appear In a bout outside
of the city of .Los "Angeles to meet
Monte Attell is accepted. The telegram
instructs Webster to return Soutli as
soon as possible after his match here
with Conley.
Webster is authority for the state

James J. Jeffries. Webster asserts
that Vernon has been a failure in the
fighting line because of the refusal
of the Los Angeles fans to travel t.Q
that place to see the fighting,- and for
that reason he demanded a guarantee.
Webster is confident that he can beat
Attell ; in the long route contest, for

TA COMA. Jan. 29. "Within the next
week it will be decided definitely
where, the Jeffries-Johnson fight-will
be held," said Sam Berger, Jeff's man
ager, today. "I have an appointment
arranged with Jack Gleason, the San
Francisco promoter. In Seattle Tuesday.
CSleason will then go to Tex Rickard.
the other promoter, and the site will
be decided on.
"All this talk between the promoters
amounts to nothing. The possibilities
of tiie Jeffries-Johnson light, based on
.the Interest shown at this time, are
$5Q0,000. Including gate receipts and
revenue derived from advertisement.
It is foolish to think that Rickard and
Gleason will permit an estrangement
to occur when they are sure of $150,000
net profit on the tight.
"A positive answer from Governor
Spry is expected by Ricka.rd next 'week.
Ii he decides unequivocally niralnst the
Jeffries-Johnson contest tlie fight will
go elsewhere. Gleason has arranged
to pull it off in Alameda County, Cali
fornia. That was the original inten
tion. "Naturally Jeffries and myself, being
Californians, desire to have the. contest
fought In California. My opinion Is
that it will be held In Gleason's arena
in Alameda County, provided, of course,
the Utah Governor vetoes it for Salt

Multnomah's fighting blood was never
In better evidence than when the club
men, in face of seeming defeat at the
honds-and-feet of a heavier team, de
feated the strong Queen's Park eleven
by two goals to one in a game of soc
cer football, played yesterday after
noon on the soft and muddy baseball
field at T wenty-iourth " and Vaughn
streets.
The, game was a fiercely-fought,
rather rough one, made so largely by
the rough-house piny of three Queen's
Park men. the chief -aggressor being
Robertson, the right half-back, who
was ruled off the field by Referee John
Dickson. Robertson had been repeat
edly warned. It Is stated that Robert
son's bad behavior will be reported to
the Portland Football Association for
action.
Drake, the left full-back of the
Queen's, did not have the "cinch" he
had last week, for he was opposed by
two men as big and as strong as he
is Creasy and Young. v
The M. A. A. C. soccer eleven just
won by a hair's breadth, and played
in the hardest possible sort of luck.
They have lost for the season Kydd and j
c-haw, who have been ordered to bank
offices in British Columbia, and Sim
A. Bennett, who has been seriously in
jured at hand ball. Crosby, the reserve
full-back, is absent from Portland on
business. To fill these vacancies, in
part. Creasy, of the Cricketers, was
borrowed, and under sficcer rules after
having once played with the Cricketers
he must not play again for Multnomah
this season. Goldman is a new Mult
nomah recruit.
Godman Roughly Used.
It is safe to say lhat Godman and
Creasey materially helped Multnomah to
win. So rough was tlie play, that the
Queen's Park team twice knocked out
Godman. and one of his hands and one
knee were badly cut. bringing the blood.
One rib Is damaged and he accuses
Buchanan, the Queen's goalkeeper, with
giving hiln "the knee" in the stomach.
McPherson, the inside left of the Queen's,
was knocked out, but soon recovered. All
who wished to see lively soccer were
surely satisfied. Dickson, the referee, did
not wish In the first place to act In that
capacity, but the choice of- referee was
given to Queen's Park, and these players
chose Mr. Dickson. He was a fearless.
Just referee, giving his decisions entirely
without favor.
Creasey is a wonder. He is a native
of the Channel Islands, off the French
coast, and weighs 195 pounds, stripped,
and stands over 6 feet. He is the very
picture of an athlete. Godman is lighter
in weight, but makes up for it in courage
and a good knowledge of the game. Young
is about the equal of these great players,
and his work is of the star order. He
has speed and courage. The playing of
the Matthew brothers, Andy and Harry,
approached the professional standard, it
was so uniformly excellent. It is doubted
if -any other two "wing" men beat them
on the entire Pacific Coast. It was a
treat to watch the duel between "Eddie"
Sammons and big FJd May, of the Queen's.
Sammons came out ahead against the
bigger man. Hughes is playing in Al
class, and so Is Dick, with more speed.
"Dundee" Buchan and Dyment held up
their previously good records, and Barton
made sensational saves.
McPherson was the star of the Queen's,
closely followed by "Scotty" Inglis and
Ed May. Barber and Gray were "classy."
and Buchanan, the goalkeeper, played a
hard, well-contested game. McBaln's
kicking was generally well placed.
Queens Rush Game at Start.
The game began at C.07 o'clock and
at the start the Queens had the bet
ter of it. rushing the ball into the
enemy's territory, again and again.
But Multnomah scored the first goal
at 3:35 by a well--placed play of God
man's. The ball was dribbled up to
Buchanan, and mass play followed.
Godman. with two other Multnomih
men, was In play in front of the goal
and he kicked just as he and two of
his mates fell over one another.
Queen's Park got the second goal of
the day at 4:26 by a brilllan run and
shot by Inglis. Then came the tug of
war, with the score one all. Shortly
after this. Eddie Sammons kicked a
corner by a well-placed shot . and
Drake headed it out. where it was
caught by Andy Matthews, 20 feet
away, and by a swift shot from his
right boot, the leather sailed past Bu
chanan. No more goals were scored
although the Multnomah played the
Queens nearly off their feet In the lat
ter part of the half.
The Multnomahs were Barton, Dy
ment, Buchanan. Sammons, Andy Mat
thew, Hughes, Dick Creasey, Young,
Godman- and Harry Matthew. Tne
Queen's Park. Buchanan (captalnl. Mo
Bain," Drake, Howard, Robertson,
O'Hara, Barber, Gray, Inglis, McPher
son and May.
This victory comes to the Multno
mahs at a critical time, to give them
a faint chance to win the silver cup
of the league. The Queen's Park has
won 13 points out of a possible 16, and
won't play any more schedule games
this season. Multnomah has won seven
points with three more games to play,
and must win these three" games If the
clubmen wish to face the Queens for
the final. To do this, the M. A. A. O.
soccer eleven must beat the Oceanics
once and the Cricketers twice.
This afternoon at 2:4." o'clock the
Oceanics will play the Cricketers at
the baseball grounds. ,
Park Place High Wins.
Tl: Park Place High School basketball
team defeated the Hawthorne Church
team yesterday afternoon by 47 to 11 In
the Park Place gymnasium. The at
tendance was unusually large. The score
at the end of the first half was 23 to 5
for Park Place. The high school forwards
made baskets almost at will. The stars
were Rivers, at center, and Leuenberger,
at the right forward position. Leuen
berger scored 27 points. Goodell. at cen
ter, played a good game for the Haw
thornes1. The Park Place team bas not
Buffered a defeat this season.

Baseball Situathn--Ko-w-lam!
Is Sanguine.
AUJfiRDEEX, Was.l.; Jan. At a
meeting of business men and mer
chants here this afternoon It was de
cided that, inasmuch as the Aberdeen
baseball team had done much good for
this city and that Aberdeen's chance
for reinstatement in the Northwestern
League had come through the assist
ance of Portland, the policy of turning
all business from here to Portland
should be continued.
It was also urged. In view of the fact
that Aberdeen was sending her busi
ness to Portland, that the merchants
and jobbers of Portland should show
their appreciation by bringing influ
ence to bear upon Judge McCredle t-J
make application for a franchise In the
Northwestern League. Aberdeen also
wants Portland to ask McCredle to see
that the Portland Northwestern team
gets as many weeks of ball at home
as possible.
"From the assurances I have had
from the McCredles," said Rowland to
day, "I have no doubt but what they
will file application for a Northwestern
franchise and that it will be granted.
I look for a special meeting to be
calleit-earlier than February 8.
. "I have been quoted as saying that I
did not care where the sixth city was.
I told Dugdale that the sixth city
available was Portland, and that It
was the city I wanted, but In case
Portland would not come In and Ever
ett came forward, we should accept it.
I have had plenty of offers to sell
players, but I have refused on the
ground that Aberdeen Is going to be in
the league next Summer."

Although high school students have
been busy in the past week taking
term-end examinations and crammin
for them, yet most of the school ath

training for basketball and track
work.
In three of the schools at least those
who expect to enter in the coming

on gentle jogs or long walks. This

committee a valuable trophy for the
winner of the proposed big interscho

It Is expected, will be offered for the
school taking second place and to the
individual winner. The athletic com
mittee will meet some time this week
to accept the trophies offered and to
take definite action In regard to the
cross-country meet.
Probably a. course not over 5 miles
In length will be used for the cross
country -run. A longer distance thnn
this is considered by most of the track
team coaches to be too far for the
average high school athlete, while a
shorter distance could hardly be called
a cross-country run.
In training the boys for their long
runs the coaches will exerctse care
that there Is no over-exertion. Long
walks or short easy runs will be re
quired at first, and after three or four
weeks the speed and distance can be
increased to a maximum.
Dr. F. II. Dammasch. former health

RAPID PACE SAPS STRENGTH
German Expert Says Man Is Strong

WASHINGTON". r. C. Jan. 29. "In
the matter of strength, a man's power
begins to decline at the expiration of
his 31st year," said Ramon Serves, a
physical instructor of Bremen. Ger
many, who was a recent visitor here.
"The muscles of the human body, ac
cording to all authorities, have their

to 320 pounds. At the expiration of
the 31st year it reaches its height, 365

eight pounds and diminution continues

, quant to this period the strength fails
more and more vapidly, until the weak
ness of old age is reached.
"There Is no reason in my opinion
why the greatest strength should not
be maintained until after a man has
reached 4! or 50 years of age. The
trouble is that we have been living at
too rapid a pace. Tlje average life of
man. instead of three score and ten.
should be 100 years. Our youth are
dissipating too much and our young
men neglect their physical condition
in their struggle to get on In the busi

older men are leading too strenuous a
