honors in favor of the old grads. the
O. A. C. played the Alumni team a score
less fame on the local a:hletic Held to
day. The, regulars fumbled, missed
tackles, were alow, and put up a frame
which would have failed to do credit ta
a team from a young woman's seminary.

rules would permit. The youngsters tried
xne on-idt klca and trie forward pass
several times, but only succeeded In one
attempt when KecK made a long pass to

Roth tesms were most effective In the

plunges. At no time during the game
was either goal in danger, for the ball
was quickly booted out of harm by Keck
or "Tub" Wolff, who kept up a constant
duel, with honors about equally divided.
Trie crowd was given a mild dose of
excitement only twice during the entire
contest, and this occurred once when
Wolff made one of his -old-time runs down
the field for 3" yards, and again when
Keck tore around the end. bowling over
four tackles, and netting his team 40
yards.

wrestling seems assured, for Interest
Is foutid to be as great. If not greater,
than when wrestling flourished here
two years ago. and O'Connell was the
most talked-of athlete along Wash
ington street.
Singh has never wrestled before a
Portland crowd, but from reports that
have preceded htm from Astoria he
must be a wonder, and O'Connell's
friends snd barkers feel that he Is un
dertaking a task a little too dangerous
In trying to throw the Hindu twice In

rather see blm In a straight match, but

Singh Is said to bs a very clever
fellow, not so nifty with the wrestling
brains as O'Connell. perhaps, but much
stronger. He has worked In the lum

and has grown unususlly strong for a
man of his size. He has always worked

For two months Iod.in bns been pre

carry all the money that can be raked

and his followers would hock the fam

thought, they could get a bet down.
A fast preliminary between a couple
of good boys will precede the big event

Interest in wrestling Is expected to

a good deal to the Inability to secure

BY JAMES J. CORBETT.
NEW TORK, Oct. 8. (Special.)
What Is the matter with the white
heavyweights and their managers and
press agents? If It were not for John
son and Langford in their semi-monthly
stunt of kidding the public with "bet
a million" eaallans-.. the dear old pub
lic would tfiltnt that the game had died
with Jeff's defeat at Reno.
Not a chip out of either Al Kaufman
or his adviser. Billy Delaney. They al
low Langford to go to the front as if
he were the logical candidate for cham
pionship honors, which he Is not by a
Ions- shot, and take a back seat them
selves. Of course, Billy is a wise old
fox and probably knows best what to
do with his man, but the people who
follow the fighting game have come to
look upon Kaufman as their hope and
salvation and would like to know where
thev stand In the matter.
The public Is not interested In all the
gab between the two colored Doxers
What does Interest the fight followers
Is who will be the first white man to
go after Johnson and try to win bark
the championship. Naturally Al Is the
man to whom they look. The flgh
with Lang at Philadelphia, while no
one-sided by any means, resulted fn a
victory for Kaufman, and, as the win
ner. Al Is the man entitled to first
chance at the champion. Langford's
flunk out of the proposed bout with
Kaufman should put him tn the discard
so far as his claims to championship
class are concerned.
Lang Not Out of Race.
Bill Lang, while disappointing his ad
mlrers In the six round affair with
Kaufman. Is not entirely out of the run
ning, by any means, although In no
shape to think of fighting for some
time to come. The Australian had al
the better of the argument up to the
end of the second round, when he broke
his hand, and brojie It so badly that
be will more than likely be out of the
game for at least two months longer,
Bill fought gamely with his broken
"duke," and took his medic'ne grace
fully. He has made no excuses, but he
wants another chance to show the
American people that they have not
seen him at his best: To prove his
claims, he will fight any man in the
heavyweight division, and no color or
creed is barred. Sam Langford can find
some work here.
Hugh Mcintosh st'U "thinks the Aus
traltan is Kaufman's master, and is
willing to make a substantial wager on
his man In a twenty or twenty-five
round quarrel with the Callfornian. It
Is quite natural that Mac should feel
this way. He brought Bill to this
country, and knows Just what the Aus
tralian champ Is capable of with the
gloves, and figures that the Phlladel
phla tryout was not a fair test of his
man's ability.
BUI had his chance against Kaufman,
and was unfortunate to have met with
an accident, so that he could not do
Justice to himself, and the verdict was
against him. The public does not care
how many accidents happen In a fight.
and will not listen to excuses. Results
are what count, and the fight must go
down on the books as a victory for
Kaufman and a defeat for Lang. Per
sonally. I think it is a close thing be
tween the two, and in a finish fight the
betting should be at evens. However,
i wilt ne some time oerore tne Aus
tralian will be able to enter the ring
again, so that puts him out of the
running for the time being, even had
the decision been In his favor.
Few' Aspirants for Title.
Langford flunked out of his go with
Kaufmann. and there are no other
heavyweights who have shown class
enough to give serious consideration.
with the exception of Tommy Burns,
and'he has not been talking much fight
lately. It was reported a short while
ago that Tommy had injured his knee
badly in a lacrosse match in Canada
so severely. In fact, that he had given
up hepe of getting into condition for
his match with Langford in London
next December and had taken steps
to call It oi I Since then It Is rumored
that Burns has decided to retire from
the ring permanently.
Who, then, remains but Kaufmann to
fight the champion or at least is there
any other who should be given prefer
ence over the Callfornian? At has
been Improving steadily In all depart
ments of the game, and while he may
be no marvel, he is fairly clever, a
terrific puncher, and has thai great
advantage youth. His 10-round fight
with Johnson In California and his
month's experience In Jack's training
quarters, should have given him a good
line on the negro. Kaufmann says h-
believes he can lick the champion In a
finish fight. Billy Delaney seems to
hlnk It Just as well to allow the cham
pion to rest on his laurels awhile
longer, figuring, probably, that the lif
lie negro Is living at the present time
will not do him any good and that Al
Is not hurting his own chances bv watt.

that of John Flanagan, ' the other

ruins any chances the Irish-American
team had of winning the point, honors,
as the men were looked UDon as sure

It Is my opinion that Jack would prefer
to meet Kaufmann rather than Langford
and that he would impose no such con
dition on the white man in the way of
an unreasonable side bet as he has done
with the "tar baby." The public is tired
of the regular Langford "challenge," and
for that matter would not take much in
terest if it was thought to be on the
level. A little noise like a challenge
from the Kaufmann camp, though, would
make the fans sit up and take notice.

weight champion of the world does not
make us love the game any more than
the law allows. The interests oi pugi
lism as a sport demand the return of a
white man to the throne and it Is up
to Kaufmann or some other white
fighter to go after the champion. If
Al's advisers do not think he is good
enough to rake the first crack at John
son, all well and good. We wlll have
to dig up some one else.
I kne-w that Lang Is willing to fight
JohnsoA or any one else in the world
as soon as his brokeri hand has mended,
and the Australian is the sort of .timber
of which champions are made.- Lang
has a world of confidence and courage,
and that is half the battle.
Kaufmann Is given the preference on
his record, and It Beems to me that It
Is about time his Intentions were madd
known. Delaney Is one of the craftiest
handlers of fighters in America, but tho
first thing we know Mr. Johnson will

Moran Regains Form.
Owen Moran's recent victory over that
clever little boxer, Pal Moore, shows that
the Englishman has regained his best
form. Moran has been doing some mighty
good work lately, and when you figure
that he has held his own with the best
boys in the lightweight division for five
or six years, we must give him credit
for being one of the best the old country
ever has sent to these shores. Abe
Attel is about the only man who ever
had the Indian sign on Owen, and that
little marvel always has to give from five
to 10 pounds to get a match.
There now Is some talk of establishing
a governing board to regulate the weight
question In the professional ranks. I
have been arguing In favor of some such
plan for a year or more, and am glad to
note that It Is at last being given serious
consideration. A new scale of weights is
