It Is the opinion of the critics that a
fight between htm and Wolgast prob
ably Is farther off than ever, although
both have been matched to fight next
month. They figure that Ad. being
anxloua to bang on to the title aa long
as possible, will avoid a meeting with
Mac and th champion's recent an
tiounceuient of contemplated retire
ment would surgest that h baa bo In

Mcr'arlantt ha started an agitation
for a revision of th weight, and by
th war. what has become of that
ronventlon of so-called "Federation of
toln Clubs." which was booked
for this month and which waa to b

be la Justified In commanding a match

D
ESPITE tier "three-aoor years and
ten.- Mm. F. W. Berry, of o
East Oak street, la an enthuslastla
motorist, osrns ber own car and drlva
It everywher about tha city, weaving
skilfully through the crowded traffic of
th downtowa district, or Indulging In
an exhilarating bit of swift speeding
when the way la clear out on some
smooth, hard-surfaced avenu of th res
idence districts.
Mrs. Kerry la several months past "V
years of age. but In ber ynuthfulness of
spirit and th sweet wholeaomeness of
her kindly and sympathetic outlook on
life, she has retained a buoyancy and
an energy that would do credit to a wo
man of lean than half her years. Just
recently she returned from a one year's
Journey around the world a remarkable
feat In itself fur on of her age. sine
she went unaccompanied and negotiated
all the difficulties of the trip by herself.
The tour waa mad entirely for pleasure
and Mrs, Berry traveled In a leisurely
way. taking In all the Important points
of Interest and enjoying every minute
of th trip. J?he returned by way of
Japan and spent many delightful weeks
traveling In the Orient.
While abroad she made many aide
tours by automobile and found such de
light traveling by the luxurious medium
of the motor that she determined to pur
chase a car for herself upon her return
to Portland and to learn to operate It.
Thla she lost no time In doing and with
in a fortnight after arriving In her home
city ah had selected a splc-and-span
Babcock electrlo and waa busily engaged
In learning how to drive it. With the
buoyant enthusiasm that haa been so
characteristic of all that she has don
in her king and useful life, Mrs. Berry
quickly mastered the task she had set
herself and In a short time she waa
skilfully driving her smart motor every.
where about the city, picking up In Valid
friends and taking them for afternoon
airings, or whisking some over-engrossed
matron and mother away from
her too-earnest domesticity for an hour
or so of refreshing recreation. Bs.s. Berry
never misses a fine day. and seldom goes
alone for her outing In her swift little
motor: she Is of that unselfish type who
finds her pleasure doubled when It la
shared with someone else, and she Is
greatly loved for her rare thoughtful.
nesa and consideration by all who know
her.
The septuagenarian motorist Is an ac
tive member and an officer of the Ore
gon Humane Society, and is prominently
identified with church work. Through
her personal efforts and her generous
Individual endowment, fund were raised
for the building of the Urace Memorial
Episcopal Cnurch In Irvington aa a me
morial to her deceased husband, Frank
V. Berry, who was one of Oregon's re
spected pioneers. Mrs. Berry Is presi
dent of the woman's auxiliary connected
with the church, and is an energetic
worker In that organization, besides be

"Th champion had no trouble In dispos

from the start and virtually knocked his
man out. th refere stopping the bout
in th ninth round, when th Los Angeles
man was In a bad way from the terrible
punishment th champion had adminis
tered. If Wo'.ga-t is true to his promise
be Is due to retire from th profession
after the bout with Hocan haa been de
cided, but 1 for one do not look for him
to fruit at this stage of the game. Th
sport want t ae Ad and Packey la se
ven before any retiring ts done, and pnb-M-
opinion may fore th cbamplon to
grao to a oontret. Let ua earnestly hop
so. as McFarland Ss without doubt the
best lightweight in the country and It is
bla mi-fortune and not his fault that be
la not champion today. I believe he
would have the fight all his way and
that he would easily prove his superior
ity to the satisfaction of both the cham
pion and the public.
The lightweights keep rne sport rrom
ennui. If It were not for the activity
among the little ffllos there would be
little of Interest to talk or write about.
Tha heavyweight situat on la unchanged
and gives promise of remaining In that
uninteresting state for a long time to
come. Jack Johnson Is out In California

Jack took his protege. Walter Mona-
han. his own "white hope." across the
bay to Oakland and fought him against
tough proposition called t.unooai
smlth. Jack acted as chief second and
advisor, but the "l.unboat" party made
sht rt work of 111 pupil, knocking him
cold Insi.le of four rounds. As an In
structor the champion Is a huge Joke.
While on the subject of weights It
would appear that Packey McFarland
waa the lucky kid when he turned
down Hugh Mcintosh's enticing offer
to Invade the antipodes. "Cyclone"
Johnnv Thompson left these shores a
lightweight and returns to us aa a
claimant for th middleweight cham
pionship. AH the Americans who went
over took on much beef, and had
Farkey spent a few months In that
-dry'- country It would have been good
night to his lightweight championship
aspirations.
"cyclone" recently outpointed Papke
and was given the decision over the
"Thunderbolt" In a 2-round contest,
and bases his claim to the title upon
thla victory. Johnny says the report
that Papke la "ail In" Is a mistake and
that he Is In as good condition as ever
In his life. This, by the way. is a left
handed compliment to his own prowess.
However, the "Cyclone" la out to beat
all aspirins; middleweight, so he says,
and first com first srved with him.
