Tyler Lands Foley' Flay.
Apropos to tha Ty1er-Folr match
at Vancouver yesterday, what tha
Northwest champion thinks of hts op
ponent Is beat voiced by himself.
Writing for the Fpokearaan-Rerview of
Ppokane from Vancouver Friday. Tyler
says:
"Foley played three matches today
snd his itama Is a arrest revelation,
lie has the California back-hand Over
Drive, which gets him out of many
a bad hole. I really believe ha Is a
good bit better than any of ua. al
though tha week-end will tell."
This will ba Mlas Sutton's ttret visit
to Tacoma. On threa previous occa
sions she waa prevented from Colo
owtnc to prior claims, but always with
res-rets.
Mlas Frowns, who Is to accompany
Miss stuttoa. will doubtless show the
Northerners a Uttle Southern style.
Miss Browns holda tha vary hi cheat
opinion of tha Button family In general
sad Miss May In particular, and no
happier rlreamstanoo eould ba planned
for her than thla tour with tha south
ern champion.
After Tacoma. Mar Sutton roes to
Ntacara-on-the-Lake to taka part In
tha International tournaments there,
f-r the championship of tha Veiled
ftate and Canada. It la her Intention
to (st tbera a weak or so before hand
and put In soma bard praotloa on tha
grass courts, for sha Is to meet Miss
lUsel Tlotehklas again at Niagara, and
looks forward to a keaoj battle. Mlsa
HMchktae and Mlsa Florence Button
have both ben playing on grass courta
all tha season and will ba in tha ptnk
of condition, so Miss Mar feels at soma
disadvantage until sha has had soma
practice.
.X laffa ra, To-urwy Girls' Affair.
Thla Niagara meeting seems likely
to ba a thoroughly Jolly affair and will
ba remarkable chiefly as a girl's tour
nament. Not that men ara excluded,
but all tha stars will ba girls and it
will ba a happy reunion of old friends
and opponents. Other wall-known ten
nis girls to ba there ara tha Mlssaa
Feeno and Eleanor Bears, of Boston,
and Mlsa Louts Morse, of Toronto.
Mlsa Holchklss will ba fresh from
her triumphs In ths Fast and Is said
to bo feeling confident ot beat
ing May Sutton In this event. Mary
Frowns gava out a statement In Low
An gales ona day last week that It Is
her opinion that Mlas Hotchklsa could
never beat May Button again.
May Button la likely to dally awhile
at Niagara, for sha always enjoys her
self there, and It la a scene of psst
triumphs. Also sha ta not out "pot
hunting" this year, but Intends mak
ing her tour strictly a pleasure tour,
not wholly given over to tennis. Sha
does, howsvor. Intend making soma

Ixs An pre lea Mognl Hope for Good
Pitcher, Then Good Team.
LOS ANGELES, July 79. (Special.)
Hen Berry haa lost hope of produc
ing a winning team this year, appar
ently, for he saya that he would bend
all his energies toward getting to
gether a successful aggregation for
next season.
The fault Is not with Dillon." he
said, "for no manager can win frames
with a lot of bad ball player behind
hlra. Wa ara going to get soma real
ball players. I don't know a we can
get them this year, but we will build
up for next season."
That gives the situation in a nut
shell. The Los Angeles magnate Is
not satisfied with his team.
"Get a new manager?" he repeated,
when ' the question was put to him
then. "Dillon knows more baseball
than all the others put together. What
we need Is a team of ball players.
"With Tosler in winning form next
sesson and Halla and Chech to help
him. wa will have a trio of veterans
aura to make good. I expect to get
another first-class man and then pick
the best out of Tates, A smew. Lev
erens. Crlger, Drlscoll and arty new
men we may pick up. That ought to
give us a great pitching staff. Then
we will go after some ball players."
Anto Racing Outcry Heard.
The general outcry against automo
bile racing on mile dirt tracks that
were formerly or are presently used
for horse races and which are' not in
fit condition for automobllea to aafely
speed upon, has received attention from
the Manufacturers' Contest Associa
tion, and that organization announces
that It will look into the matter thor

"DOC" BURNS IS SENT FOR
Campaign Against "Easy Ones" In

ger ' Game) Mysterious Billy
Smith in Light Again.
BT HARRY B. SMITH.
SAN FRANCISCO. CaL, July J9.
(Special.) Jack Johnson must be In
earnest about his matches In London.
Doo Burns, the colored maq from San
Francisco who has trained Johnson for
practically all of his big matches, re
' ceived a cablegram from the champion
thla week instructing him to pack his
duds and hurry to England. Transpor
tation wa forthcoming along with the
Instructions, and Burn will leave at
once. Even though Johnson haa
planned a campaign of the "easy ones"
he probably wants to be in condition
and prefers to have some one with him
with whom he 1 aoquainted. Burns 1
a mighty good man aa a conditioner
and Johnson, after the easy life of the
past year, will need some assistanoe
In getting off tha extra' weight.
"Mystery" There No More.
Mysterious Billy. Smith failed to
come back the other night when he
was disqualified for roughing with hi
opponent. Smith carried so much stom
ach when he entered the ring that the
crowd Indulged In a hearty laugh.
Originally acheduled to box Rufus
Williams, a colored middleweight, Billy
had to take on Jim Cameron, a colored
heavyweight from Los Angeles, In
place of Williams, who wa sick.
The Portlander stipulated that there
was to be no clinching or wrestling,
and he appealed frequently to Referee
Eddie Hanlon to stop Cameron from
hitting in the clinches. Cameron in
sisted on boxing after hla own atyle
and Smith grew ugly and rushed his
dusky opponent. Once. In the second
round. It looked as if Cameron in
tended to quit, but Hanlon coaxed the
pair together and finally S.mlth. fouled
so frequently that the referee had to
stop tha bout and award It against
Mysterious Billy. Smith has no busi
ness in the game.
Xo Split, Jones Declares.
Tom Jones, manager of Ad Wolgast,
passed through San Francisco tha first
of tha week, bound for Chicago. Jonea
denied there had been any split-np
with Ad Wolgast and said tha atorlea
sent out of Los Angeles had no foun
dation. He admitted that he thought
Wolgast wa making a mistake In let
ting Packey in at 1S pounds at S
o'clock in tha afternoon instead of 6
o'clock, but ha deolared that sine the
match had been made, he would not In
terfere. The chance are that Jonea originally
Intended to Interfere, but discovered
that the matter waa out of hla hands,
and that he might aa well be a good
dog rather than have a quarrel with
hi meal ticket.
Aa it looks now, the match will go
through on September 18. Jones says
that Wolgast will receive from 118,000
to 1 30.000 for his end. which Is a big
piece of money for a 10-round no-da-clston
match. No wonder that Wolgast
didn't feel like letting that bonanaa
allp between his fingers. It would be
a mtghty tough job for Packey to beat
Wolgast in 20 rounds, and the cham
pion appreciates this and is quite will
ing to take a chance.
"One Round" vs. "KnocJcoot."
One-BMnnd Hogan, the San Francisco
lightweight, haa an offer tp go 10
round with Knockout Brows, In New
Tork. on Labor day. The offer came
from Gil Boag, manager of the Madison
Athletlo Club. Hogan la of a mind to
accept, particularly aa he figures there
will be good money. He and Brown
fought 10 rounds one before and the
newspaper decision were very much
at variance at to which of the boy
won.
There la a chance that Coffroth will
offer Hogan suitable Inducements to
keep him here for a 20-round go with
Freddie Welsh on the ISth of August,
but otherwise, Hogan will soon be
headed for New Tork.
Al Kaufman, the San Francisco

Corhett Says Caso of "Big Head'
Seems to Be Troubling Morris
Just" Now and He Hopes Brlt
isb Will Hold to Johnson.
BT JAMES J. CORBBTT.
. IfEW YORK. July 29. (Special.)
"Lost, strayed or stolen," was the way
the advertisement was to be worded be
fore Hugh Mcintosh, the indefatigable
promoter of big town pugilism, discov
ered the ex-blacksmith in his hiding
place 'way out West, and brought forth
the announcement that California's fa
vorite son will shortly leave for Aus
tralia to take up the pursuit of his
chosen calling with either Bill Lang or
Jack Lester on the other end.
I am referring to the disappearing
act that Al Kaufman pulled so success
fully on the public. The young man
did not let out a chirp after going into
seclusion immediately following his de
feat by Fireman Andrew Chlariglion,
probably better known to fame by the
more mellifluous moniker of Jim Flynn.
Not a whisper from the big fellow, who
took, the licking to heart so much he
had apparently given up hope of ever
regaining that prestige which was his
as the recognized leader of the forlorn
hope.
Kaufman of Right Timber.
Some critics have said it Is a failing
of the race .from which the sturdy
Kaufman descended this giving up of
all hope, the relinquishing of claims to
greatness, upon meeting with defeat
or failure in physical or mental effort,
but I am not of that opinion. It is
much easier to criticise 111 success than
to accomplish a great achievement. Big
Al proved he is made of the right tim
ber when he came back from that aw
ful beating Jack O'Brien handed the
lad upon the occasion of his debut in
professional pugilism. The trouble with
Kaufman is that he is young, and was
too full of confidence that he was the
daddy of everything white In the prize
fighting line, and the shock of losing to
a man regarded as a seoond rater was
so severe that he felt the public would
never overlook teh serious offense of
Another winning fight should restore
confidence In him. If Flynn and Al
meet again, me for the big boy. It is
said that once beaten it Is next to Im
possible to turn the tables on one's op
ponent, but I know differently. Old
timers, and some of the younger ones,
too, will remember the "Kid" McCoy
Jack McCormick battle In Chicago. How
Jack hung one on the generally elusive
"Kid's" point and the counting out of
McCoy. And also how the latter easily
turned the tables the next time they
met. Similar case, this one. Kaufman
had previously disposed of Flynn and
felt sure of easy victory in .the Kansas
City engagement. This confidence more
than anything else likely caused the
reversal of form that startled the pugi
listic world.
Morris a Bit Swelled.
There 1 a great difference between
confidence and a well defined case of
big head: the latter complaint seems
to be what's troubling another young
man lately become prominent in spurting
circles, and more particularly in the
sporting columns.
Carl Morris, from all accounts, evi
dently Is a firm believer that he has
'.ni A Phlladelnhia promoter at
least reels mat way uuuui
It seems the Quaker City gentleman
tried to secure Morris' signature to box
Jim Flynn six rounds. He was given
the surprise of his life when Carl's
terms came over the wire. Fifteen
thousand cash and paid in advance was
all the "hope" asked for a display of
his wares. Mr. Promoter ha not made
public his answer, although It is ru
mored the telegraph company charged
extra rates for handling the message.
Kennedy Xewest "Hope."
Another "white hope" will be sprung
on New Tork sports early next month.
This time it would appear that the
confidence of his backers is well found
ed, for Tom Kennedy, formerly East-
mmmmimm am
ern amateur heavyweight champion, is
the man who will make his initial pro
fessional advent in a 10-round bout
with Al Palzer. Before Warren Bar
bour, the millionaire boxer, entered
the ranks Tom was champion amateur
in this locality. I have had the gloves
on with the young fellow several times.
He also worked with Al Kaufmann
when the latter was in training for
several fights. Many who saw the pair
in action do not hesitate to say that
Kennedy outclassed the Californian.
A number of attempts have been made
ia the past to persuade Kennedy to
turn professional, but it 1s only re
cently that, attracted by the great pos
sibilities in the money-making line, he
has considered the matter seriously.
In the opinion of many shrewd
Judges Kennedy will have little trouble
In defeating Palzer, and predictions are
freely made he will quickly dispose of
all the "hopes" in the game and that
Kaufmann will be as easy as any of
the others. I know, for a fact, that
Kennedy is a clever boxer and can
fight rings around most of the present
bunch of professionals masquerading
as championship aspirants. He also
has speed, that essential which if one
of the assets of Al Kaufmann would
without doubt make him champion of
the world. Whether Kennedy will wear
as well In the professional ranks as
among the amateurs Is, of course,
problematical, but he comes Into the
game at an auspicious time and with
everything in his favor, and he will
have millions rooting for his success
once started.
Reception Makes Xegro Vain.
The reception given to the heavy-
weight champion in England has been
so gratifying to the negro's vanity that
he has arisen to the occasion, and ditto
some other equally famous gentleman
of the past, boldly makes the assertion
that republics are ungrateful and from
now on his allegiance Is to Great Brit
ain. Let us hope that the big smoke does
not change his mind, but, of course,
we all know that line of talking the
English Journalists are falling for . is
not Intended for publication this side
of the Atlantic.
It would be too good to be true, this
idea of Johnson expatriating himself.
Take him and welcome, you British
sports, and- be sure to keep him over
there.
IDAHOANS TOUR TO SEA
ATJTOISTS MAKT TRIP TO IDAHO
POINT FROM BOISE.
Journey Is Accomplished Without
Trouble and Hot Weather Is
Declared Xot Noticeable.
Idaho-Point-by-the-Sea, a wild and
romantic tract on the rugged Oregon
coast near Newport, Lincoln County,
drew the family of J. M. Johnson frpm
Boise, Idaho, in their automobile. Mrs.
Johnson and maid and her sons, George
and Frank, and Mrs. James Mehollln
recently completed a remarkable 500
mile motor car trip across Oregon and
are now spending the Summer in recre
ation at their Lincoln County Summer
home. .
Idaho Point, formerly Henton Point,
is a tract bf about 60 acres located on a
promontory overlooking the Paclflo
Ocean near Newport. The name Idaho
Point was given to the place because
there are Idaho families' Summer homes
located there. Indian legends connect
triaho. or Henton. Point with several
early-day Indian romances.
On July 12 the noise motorists ieri
the Ada County metropolis and at On
tario, Or., soon after crossing the Ore
gon state line J. R. Blackaby. a Mal
heur County banker, and family Joined
the Boise party with his automobile.
George Johnson was at the wheel of
Mrs. Johnson's Winton "Six." while Mr.
Blackaby drove his own motor car.
Together these cars crossed Malheur
Harney, Crook and Wasco counties, ar
riving In The Dalles, whence they
shipped their automobiles to Portland
by boat. Stops were made at Ontario,
Vale. Burns, Prineville and Shearer s
bridge.
The trip was made during tne no
spell which has hovered over Oregon,
and the jxortnwest tor severm wotbsi
but despite the high temperature the
motorists did not suffer from it.
Crossing Oregon by automobile via
the route followed by the ocean-bound
tourists is one of the blessings of
motoring, according to Mrs. Johnson,
1 who said thir machines gave abso
lutely no bother to them.
"Tile trip was beautiful and the roads
were splendid," said Mrs. Johnson.
"Gasoline came rather high, though. In
some places we paid as high as 60 cents
a gallon for it. Prices in the extreme
interior of Oregon ranged consistently
from 40 to 60 cents. It is a long over
land haul, however, and prices must bo
placed accordingly."
After visiting friends and relatives
in Portland the Johnson family motored
on to Corvallla and from there went
to their Summer home on the CorvalHs
& Eastern Railroad. Mr. Johnson
Joined his wife and sons in Portland.
Several months will be spent at tha
beach and returning homeward the
party will motor up the Willametto
Valley from Corvallis. seeing en routa
