Mr. Jacques handed the gold medal to
Fownes as the best player of the year
and the silver medal to Wood as the best
player of the bunch from Chicago.
Both men were more or less erratic
In their driving during the mornlnif
round, a stiff northeaster contributing
to the difficulty of keeping on the
course. After halving the first two
holes Fownes lost the third by the
short approach and was one down. He
won It back on the next hole, however,
despite a putted drive as Wood over
approached on the green. .Wood sliced
two drives out of bounds at the fifth
tee and trapped his third, then gave up
the hole. Fownes. one up.

sliced his next drive and made a poor
second and Fownes was six up when
they reached the 16th tee.
They halved this hole. Fownes lost
the 17th on account of slicing his driv?.

Hopes Much of Kaufman.
BY JAMES J. CORBETT.
JLW lORK. Sept. 17. (Special.)
Only 10 days ago two Important heavy
weight contests were held In this coun
try in which were engaged as pslnclpals
tour men who are regarded as the run
ners up to the championship, and ye
in the opinion of the majority of, ex
perts. neither of the victors Is of i
iui wuuiq emme nim to a go
with the champion. One of the bouts
the Kaufman-Lang contest was an
even affair, and while the popular ver
ctirt was' given to the Californlan, It
Is' the opinion of a great many good
students of the game that Lang made
a wonderful showing, all things consid
ered, and that had the bout been
longer one the Australian might have
been returned the victor.
It must be remembered that whatever
handicaps there were In, the match were
all against Lang. The six-round thing
is a new. one on the lorelgner, accus
tomed as he has been to train for longer
bouts and more for endurance than for
speed. Then the fact that It was his
first engagement In this -country and
against one of the best and most pop.
ular or the younger American boxers,
did not help him and was bound to
make him feel more or less nervous.
I am not making excuses for Lang,
but I believe in being fair and having
been through the game myself can ap
preciate Just about what Bill was up
against.
Lang Shows Great Promise.
1 may be accused of being prejudiced
In favor of the Australian champion
on account of having acted In an ad
visory capacity during the match, but
this Is not so. My reason for lending
assistance to Lang is that he is one
of the most promising white heavy
weights in the business. Since the Reno
affair I have taken a renewed Interest
in the game because, like a great many
other ardent admirers of boxing, I want
to see a white man win back' the heavy
weight championship of the world.
in Lang I saw what I considered a
championship possibility a white man
who. with proper Jiandling, might de
velop Into a great fighter, and qualify
as a candidate for the highest honors
in the game. I have carefully watched
him work and regard him as a natural
fighter.' His knowledge of the finer
points of the science of boxing is lim
ited, but this can be developed with
practice and a little more experience.
Delaney Greatest Trainer.
Al Kaufman Is the top-notcher at pres
ent among tne white American heavy-
weights and a longer battle between
these men ought to determine which Is
most worthy of trying to bring back the
championship to the white race. Al is
In competent hands, Billy Jjeianey, the
gretet trainer In America, having him
In charge, and if anyone can bring out
hlf best surely Delaney can. I went to see
one or the other win, and win decisively.

Everything about the '
magnificent new Heilig
Theater is to be of the
highest standard of ex
cellence. Conductor Rosebrook,
who will have charge of
the music, stepped in to
see the E i 1 e r s Baby
Show yesterday, and
finding a superb ; new
entitled to the chance at the champion.
I believe that in one of these men we
have championship timber, and would
like to see uiother match arranged for a
longer contest. In which the superiority
of either shall be demonstrated beyond
question.
Now, to get back to the general im
pression that neither of these men i
"classy" enough to give him a look-in
with Johnson. I beg to differ with my
friends who mould popular opinion
through the sporting columns of the
newspapers. The fact that Johnson is
champion is what causes the great ma
jority to look upon him as in a class1 by
himself. There Is a wonderful magic
about that word "champion" that blinds
many-to everything but his best quali
ties. We all go down to defeat In our
turn. Fitzsimmons won from me, Jen
beat Fits and finally the once' great
boilermaker lay down his crown.
Johnson Lucky Fighter.
I am not seeking to take away any
credit from a pugilist who has climbed
from the bottom to the top, as has John
son, and I believe Jack is a good man as
champions go nowadays, but I do not
look upon him as a really great fighter.
Johnson, to my mind, is purely a de
fensive fighter, and any good heavy
weight not Inclined to force the battle,
would have little or no trouble in stay
ing in the ring with him for six or ten
rounds, or even longer. If a man car
ries the fight to Johnson, that is an
other story. The champion has a good
defense, and In close quarters can ad
minister severe punishment to his op
ponent, but that about lets him out.
Jack shines In close quarters, and
that's how he won the "title. All his
best work Is done while his opponent
Is rushing at him, or breaking out of a
clinch. If up against a good man
willing to wait for Johnson to force the
fighting. I think the boutwould be
over before the real fighting began.
Far from being a great fighter, I think
him a lucky one.
Jack cannot be expected, in the nat
ural order of things, to Improve he is
now at his best. On the other hand.
Lang and Kaufman are improving right
along. and the Philadelphia bout
showed that Kaufman Had absorbed a
number of the champion's best stunts
through his experience in Jack's train
ing camp at Reno, which should stand
him in good stead in a match with the
colored man. So, cheer up boys, don't
get discouraged. With the better man
of these two young huskies to choose
from there is still a chance for the
white race.
Langford Go Proves Nothing.
The Langfofd-Jeanette go at Bos
ton proved nothing except that one
man could hand out a good licking
and that his opponent could take it and
till be on the Job. The referee says
he gave the decision to Langford be
cause he out-fought, out-punched and
out-pointed Jeanette, but that the lat
ter put up a great battle and was still
dangerous at the end of the bout. He
also says It would be hard to predict a
winner in a finish fight. Either of
these men might have a good chance
with Johnson. However, my interest in
colored boxers is confined at present to
trying to find a white man capable of
licking one of them the champion. As
have repeatedly stated, I have no
personal feeling against Johnson or
any other colored boxer. It is simply
a case of pride in my own race, and an
honest feeling that we must have
somewhere a white man capable of
winning back the coveted champion
ship of the world.

SPORTSMEN LEAVE FOR DUCK
HCXTIXG GROUNDS.
Of fsliore Storm Regarded as Boon by
Those Who Have Found Early
Shooting Poor.
Sportsmen in Portland and vicinity look
upon the recent rain as a boon, for they
believe that as a result of the off-shore
storm the game preserves will be liber
ally populated with ducks, grouse and
other wild fowl. Today will be marked
by considerable shooting along the
marshes of the Columbia River provid
ing the forecast is correct.
Several of the hunters who own game
preserves along the streams near Port
land have been advised that the ducks
have been flying during the past' two or
three days, and orders were issued Imme
diately for the liberal feeding of the
marshes and sloughs on which the shoot
ing grounds are located. Imbued with the
idea that they will have the pleasure of
distributing choice morsels to their
friends, several hundred sportsmen left
last night for the preserves in the Wil
lamette and Columbia River valleys, and
this morning the crack of the shotgun
should reverberate along these rivers for
miles providing there is anything to
shoot at.
The duck shooting season opened offi
cially on September 1. but the scarcity
of birds has prevented anything like an
exodus of hunters to the shooting grounds
up to date. However, it was different
last night, for many of the ambitious
marksmen believe the rain to be a sure
precursor of good duck shooting, and
whether notified by their game keepers
or not, a large number journeyed to
sloughs to take chances.
If anyone has a friend who went snoot
ing last night he will do well to watch
the returning trains and boats arriving
from the hunting grounds tonight, for
there Is Just a wee chance that a few
birds may be killed, and a wild duck at
this time of the year would not prove a
bad morsel.
