BT W. J. PETRAIK.
Deapit9 the departure of James J.
Jeffrie from Portland over a week ago,
the visit of the world-s greatest expo
nent of the fistic game continues to be
discussed in all circles. It is Jeffries
this and Jeffries that in almost every
corner where fistic or other athletic
stunts are discussed, and while there
still remain a few speculators who are
willing- to take a chance on Jack John
son in the betting line, these are most
ly men who did not avail themselves of
the opportunity of seeing the big white
man when he was here.
During a discussion the other day a
w-hito admirer of Jack Johnson was
heard to voice the opinion that the
negro would beat Jeff, and when
pressed for his reasons he replied-
"Well, in the first place the nigger is
younger, and in the second place he has
not gone the pace like Jeff, and the
third reason Is that he is by long odds
the shiftiest boxer who ever stepped
Into the arena, outside of Jim Corbett "
"ramcuiy me trio or reasons
unn considering, yet at the
are
same

-took. Guard; Crab be, Guard and Manager; Hays, For-
li me each can be refuted by evidence
as well as fact. The admirer of John
son issues his first reason based on the
age of the two men. James J. Jeffries
was born at t'arroll. C. April 13. 1875,
and Jack Johnson was born at Galves
ton. Tex.. March 31. 1878. which shows
a difference of only three years be
tween the two men.
.lames J. t'orbett was eight years
younger than John I... Sullivan when
he defeated the "idol of the pugilistic
world" at N"ev Orleans. In 1S92. and
Robert Kitzslmmons was four years
older than Corbett when he took the
laurels away from the Californian in
1SI7. From this record a logical rea
soning can be deduced in favor of
James J. Jeffries.
Corbett was one-year older than Jack
Johnson is now when he met Robert Kitz
simmons. and during the interval be
tween his defeat of Sullivan and his
meeting with the "Ruby One.',' Corbett
went the pace, just as Jack Johnson is
now doing. Jeffries admits that he has
enjoyed life in all its pleasures and varia
tions, but he lias cut the "airy fairy"
stuff for over A year, and shows marked
physical improvement over his condition
of 190S and previously.
Fnrther moro. Jeffries is a physical
marvel. Ho Is built on the order of
mythological giants, possessing a perfect
physique and the strength of several or
dinary mortals. His vital organs must
neressai-lly be on a part with his physical
makeup, else he would not now be able
to give the demonstrations lie does of his
strength. In fact. Jeffries is a remark
ible specimen of the human race. In
fact, be is In a class by himself and
while Johnson is a fine specimen of man
hood, he cannot commence to compare
with Jeffries, physically.
Kce Question. Too.
Another thing to be considered is the
fact that the superiority of the white race
has been Incontrovertibly demonstrated
for centuries, and Jeffries, with his tre
mendous physique, will enter the ring
with Jack Johnson with an advantage
which neither science nor experience, but
nature, has given him.
In this human giant the American peo
ple are to be represented by a boxer who
knows all the tricks of the fighting
name, and a man who. in the past few
months, has demonstrated to thousands
of people, the fact that he has "come
ba:k." Any one who saw Jeffries go
through his exercises at the Exposition
builrilng a trifle over a week ago will be
satisfied to support the h'g white nin't
against all disputing his physical ability.
While In Portland Jeffries displayed t;iis
ability beyond a question of a doubt, and
he did it in the face of the fact that he
had not had an opportunity of enjoying a
comfortable nights rest for over a week.
as his theatrical tour embraced one-night
stands, requiring his embarkation on a
railway train after each performance and
the spending of the restful periods in a
railway sleeper, hardly a comfortable or
suitable convenience for training purposes.
Ordeman and Koller to Meet.
SEATTLE, Wash.. Feb. 6. Henry Orde
man, of Minneapolis, and Dr. B. F. Roller,

once before in Seattle, and in this match
the Seattle physician was thrown on hia
head and knocked unconscious.
Forbes Will Keturn to Ring.
CHICAGO. Feb. 5. Harry Forbes, the
former bantamweight champion, will re

Brown, a tough New York 120-pounder,
before Billy Gibson's club on Monday
night.

LEAGUE ICE CLOSE
Columbia Has Slight Lead in
Basketball Series.
TWO OTHERS WELL UP
Both Lincoln High School and Fort
land Academy Have Chance to
Win Championship In Six
Remaining Games.
The results of the basketball g-ames
played so far In the lnterscholastio
leagrue Indicate that the championship
of the season probably lies between
Lincoln Hlg-h School, Portland Acad
emy and Columbia University, with
the odds In favor of Columbia,
l In the first grame of the season. .
week agro Wednesday. Portland Acad
emy was defeated, 22 to 14. by Lincoln
High School, and although Runyan,
P. A.'s star center, was out of the grame.
the Lincoln HIgrh team probably would
have won anyway because It excelled
the academics In general team work.
The work of Lincoln's g-uards was su
perior. In the next frame at the T. M. C. A.
gym, Allen won over Washington
High In a fast game by the close mar
gin of 21 to 19. In this game the
Aliens put up a poor exhibition In the
first half, but played brilliantly In the
second period, and won the game. All
In all, the Allen team put up the best
game both individually and collect
ively. Decision May Change Result,
In a hard-fought game last Wednes
day. Columbia University won over
Lincoln High, 27 to 26. -This game has
been protested by the Lincoln High
team on the ground that it should
have been allowed two more points on
a basket that was made Just after the
referee called a foul on one of the Co
lumbia men. and another on the foul.
The referee ruled at the time not to
allow the points, and it is maintained
by the Columbia team and others that
his decision should hold. The cham
pionship of the season may hinge on
the ruling of the athletic committee on
this game.
Strengthened by the playing of Run
yan at center, Portland Academy won
handily over the Allen Preps last Fri
day by the score of 32 to 14. The Aliens
were somewhat weakened In thl g-ame
by the fact that Hays, their crack
forward, was not In condition to put
up his usual fine game. Nevertheless
the academics had It over the pre
paratory school lads considerably more
than a shade1 In passing, in accurate
basket throwing and in defensive work.
The Allen team did not have the form
shown In the game Wednesday against
Washington High.
Judging from the fact that Colum
bia defeated Lincoln High on a very
close margin, while Lincoln High de
feated Portland Academy and Port
land Academy defeated Allen, it looks
as though the result of the season's
contests will be the same as last year
a tie between Lincoln High and Colum
bia for first place.
Columbia Is Now Favorite.
It Is the opinion of many of the fans
that Columbia will win out without
losing a game, while the other teams
will finish In this order: Lincoln High
School. Portland Academy. Allen Pre
paratory and Washington High School.
It is figured that Lincoln will win over
very team except Columbia, that Port
land Academy will lose to Columbia
and that Allen will lose all the games
remaining to be played. Washington
is expected to finish last.
However, there are six games yet to
be played, and there Is a chance for
all the teams to spruce up and for the
tail-enders to spring a few surprises.
The games still to De played are as
follows:
February 9 Washington High School vs.
Columbia University.
February 11 Lincoln High School vs.
Allen Preparatory School.
February 18 Portland Academy vs.' Allen
Preparatory Sclfol.
February 18 Alien Preparatory School vs.
Columbia University.
February 23 Lincoln High School vs.
Washington Hlgb School.
February 25 Portland Academy vs. Co
lumbia University.
The present standing of the teams
follows:
W. L. P.O.
Columbia University 1 o 10O0
Lincoln Hts-h , i i ..loo
Portland Academy I .r,00
Allen Preparatory 1 1 .500
Washington High 0 1 .000
The attendance at all the games
played so far has exceeded that of last
year, and the managers of the team
are therefore congratulating them
selves. All the games, except the first,
have been played in the Y. M. C. A.
gymnasium, and it Is probable this
floor will be used for the remaining
contests, as it is centrally located.
It is intended to use the same offi
cial at all the remaining games and to
find a man who Is absolutely impartial
and knows the game thoroughly.
Artel Is Recognized Champion.
PORTLAND. Feb. 6. (To the Sport
ing Editor of The Oregonian.) Kindly
state through the columns of The Ore
gonlan who. In your opinion, is the
real, recognized legitimate bantam
weight champion of the world Attel.
Webster or Coulon. READER.
Answer Monte Attel Is generally
recog-nized as the champion because of
his decisive victory over r'rankio Neil.
Coulon has not yet met either Webster
or Attel. The Los Angeles lad's claim
Is based on three fights with Attel In
which he secured one newspaper de
cision over Monte.
Miss Laura A. Hecox. who for 7 vears
has tended the light of the Kanta "crui
lighthouse, has recently returned to her post
