BT HARRT R- SMITH. SAX FRANClSd, Sept. . Accord lug to private advices received hers, Hugh Mcintosh, the Australian fight promoter, will have a hard lima 1m porttna American boxers to fill the matches he has scheduled for the An tlpodes. Already lira American purl lists hire thrown down Mcintosh and there Is a chance that both Jack John son and Sam Langford. his two-star dark special, will rive him tha go-by. Tha men who hare already declined tha trip to Australia are Al. Kaufman. Billy Papke. Jimmy Clabby. Jim Flynn and Tscker MrFarland. A New York story hss It that Jark Johmnn will ba back In thla country by October It. It has leaked out that tha negro champion has soma Important business to transact and It la rumored that he has already cabled tha Austra lian promoter asking for either a re lease from his contract or an exten sion of time before leaving this country for tha trip across the I'aclflc. UaileH leatlx far Cots. 8am Laraford has purposely delayed Ms departure and will not leave tha t'nlted States on October 4. as sched oled. LanxfoH thinks there Is Just a chance for a Id-round bout In New Tork with Johnson, and what a money maker that would be: The nrirro cham pion has also, quite likely, had his eve on the financial end of such a match and It would not be surprising to see Mm Jump hts contract with Mcintosh, as Johnson has done that .stunt time and aaaln. The reason that the American boxers are stir kins to their home shores and giving up the chances of reaping the rich harvest In Australian fields Is the prosperity of the puclllsttc irame around New Tork. With boxlna legale lied In the state. Ootham promoters have been putting on aome live matches and the New York sports have been very liberal In paying prices to see them. Mahler la far -Mrs. las" One of the biggest rumpuses of the I season In the fan Franclaco baseball team vii caused last week by the Indefinite suspension of Hunky Shaw, outfielder and at other tlmea Inflelder. Tha player set up an awful roar and promlecd to wipe out tha ranks of tha local magnatea. Oolng one better. Hunky says that he Is going to lick Kid Mohler on slht. just for luck and past grievance, and there may be something- doing to atlr op the baseball situation here. The trouble which broucht about ' Ifunkv's suspension came about In Bun day afternoon's came. He played a weird same, afterwards declaring- that he was rattled, and was sent to the clubhouse. Pome fans near the Heals bench started to rag- him. and Hunky threw about half a pall of water on them. He followed that up by making an Insulting gesture at the crowd. For that offense alone he would have been suspended, aa Judge Graham declared Chaw would never play In the Coast League again. Illdearaaa May I a- It Is understood on pretty good au thority that Ueorge llll.lebrand will be umpiring tn the American League next season. Billy Lang has recommended that stocky chsp to Pan Johnson, and as Hildy has been praised In other quartern, there Is a feeling here that be will be tendered a contract In a few days. Illldy saya that ha haa heard nothing so far and la waiting for something to happen. ' Harry Wolverton returned from Tortland with his Oaks after taking that awful lacing, and did not have a word to say. He realises that the Oaks are out of the rare and was somewhat discouraged, but he gave the Beavers full credit for their showing. "The Portland pitchers certainly worked In great form against us." said Wolverton. "MrCredie haa a wonderful pitching staft In Henderson. Harkness. reatnn. Fteen and Koestner. and he Is going to give Happy Hogan the fight of his life. The race Is still a long one yet. and I am not going to pick a win her. but I know the Heavers will be up there lighting with their pitchers rjcht In the game. "Threw Hm Hasps rlcd. The great playing of Tommy Madden here on hts first return since Joining Sacramento has started some talk that t-e speedv outfielder was not giving the Seals his best services. In getting five hits In fire times up Tuesday. Msdden played Ilka an entirely different Madden from the indifferent fellow who waa with the Keala, He put life and action In Ma every play. Madden asserts that he has just roanded Into condition, bat many local fana still believe that Tommy waa dis gusted with the local management and In order to get away from the team deliberately -laid down" It will be rem err be red that O'Rourke tried to get Madden two monthe ago and at that time Tommy waa going at Ma worst. Patsv O Rotirke enjoyed such success by using Thornton In the bog that he ts figuring on adding Mahoney to his regular force of twtrlers. Mahoney waa a college pitcher of some reputation before his hitting landed him a berth In the outfield, and aa O'Rourka has several outer-garden men. It looks Slke a good plan to try his lurk with Ma te on ex. Ilealey Weald Bar Oldsters. Arrelanes has gone to his San Crux home and n-.ay not pitch again this sea eon, and with Thompson Injured there will be plenty of room for Mahoney. Lanky rack Henley has started an other controversy down In these parts by suggesting that all ball players o vet IS years of age be barred from the major and r'.asa A leaauea Cack says tl at when a man gets 3i he haa out grown his usefulness In fast company and should be passed down the line Only a eiiort while bark Henley pro posed that there be three Judges up In the rrandstand every day to take note and point out the umpire's mis takes and it looks as If he wanta to start something. Henley's lateat scheme Is based on the grounds that old players so fre quently boot away games and have eueb trouble with sore arms and In juries. iMg Hal la MeAraie.

The end of (he first week's football practice at the Oregon Agricultural College shows that the Interest In the game la more pronounced than ever be' fore at this institution.

Marquis of Queensberry Writes on Boxing Game in England What Price Effect If Johnson Wins, Nobleman Asks. BT THE MARQUIS OF QUEENSBERRY. (Copyright. 1911. by the Marquis of Queenl berry.) CHICAGO. Sept. 30. (Special.) I see by the papers that a movement haa been started to stop the Jack Johnson- Bombadler Wells fight in London Oc tober 2. and many persons have asked me why this is so, as there is now quite ten times as much boxing in Great-Brit aln as took place 20 years ago. In the first place It must be ex plained that there Is there, as well as In America, a section of the public which has never seen a fight and never would If it could, and so Imagines a bout to be a sort of orgy of blood and teeth, frequented by the worst sections o society. These people condemn It un heard and -because they do not lfke it themselves, and because they won't even go to see how It is conducted, they cry out to have it stopped. I am positive that I am right in say ing that if a poll were taken in Great Britain tomorrow whether properly conducted boxing matches should take place, that 75 per cent of the people would say yes. and among these would be large numbers of men who view Jlfe from the highest standpoint bishops, priests. Judges, artists, authors, besides that huge mass of people who are for clean sport of every description an tne time. One of the most potent reasons for the movement in England against the present fight, although It may not be palpable on the surface. Is the color question. Now, at home we have no prejudice against colored people: in fact, man for man. there are millions more colored British suDjects man white -ones, but it is this very fact which makes this fight a question of Importance. Sees Victory for Negro. It is almost a foregone conclusion that Johnson will win. and what price the effect it will have on the 300.000.000 subjects of King George V In India. I am sure this ie at the bottom of the agitation, and the 25 per cent who don't like tha game and want to spoil the pleasure of the other 75 per cent are making all the use of It they can. There In a nutshell you have the an swer. At least that is the writer's honest opinion. I have mentioned that this Johnson tVells match Is looked upon as almost a foregone conclusion, but this' fact makes no difference.. Even If "tVells were to win, it would still be a mooted point whether the world has arrived at that Utopian point where a match of world-wide importance can be brought off between a white and a colored man without raising all kinds of disagree able feelings. To revert to the respective merits of the men, the best Judges In England, including Lord Lonsdale, who, since my beloved father's death, has by one accord been acknowledged to be the Ad mirable Crlchton of sport, are of the opinion that Wells has not yet reached maturity, and that another two years of experience and development are still needed to bring him up to his best. Hence many of tho best sport ing men are dubious as to the advisa bility of the men meeting yet. KIHaport Cornea to Life. As these events In order to flourish should be looked usos from the sport ing and not from te spectacular and gate money point of view, it is easy to understand how the controversy has started and how eagerly the cranks and kill sporta are taking hold of this opportunity to put a nail Into the cof fin of the sport, which they regard with a hatred as strong as it is unrea sonable. Never has boxing been more popular MOUNT ANGEL FOOTBALL SEA SON'S SCHEDULE IS FAST : BEING FILLED OUT. Manager Walsh. MOUNT ANGEL. Or., Sept. 30. (Special.) Mount Angel College's football team candidates turned out for their first practice yes terday. Eight of last year's team are back, and some promising material looms up In the new comers. Manager Walsh is . fast filling up his vacant datee and expects to open the season about the middle of October. As Captain-elect Melchior has left school, the team will hold an election some time this week. In England than now ano never has it been so well conducted. Ic Is general ly conceded by everyone here that the only result of boycotting boxing in Great Britain, which practically was done for a generation, wan to cause it to blossom rortn stronger ana purer than ever, recognized as one of the manliest of sports, where suppression only led to mollycoddlism. The army and navj- kept the game alive at home. Their keenness and the extraordinarily fine displays they gave for pure love of the sport for there are no purses. - ' j . ) : 5SP H' 't , 'W :' '.v'SSlSSaast-"- x":: : ' vi ' y :!f ' - I Will Get Your Goat If You Read This Ad Mr. Good-Dresser Before yon go amy further la thla advertisement I vr sat yen te PROMISE ME that yon will have a salt built at RAT BARK HURST'S, Dro-rlded I convince yon - HE " IS THE3 BEST AND SttlAREST TAILOR IN PORTLAND.

The coming boxing tournaments at Aldershot were so well attended by the flower of the land, besides the naval and military men, that there waa hard ly a building in the town capable of holding thorn. So, from quite a small affair. It became a national fixture, and was helfc In the army gymnasium at Aldershot. So boxing is back In England today after having been abused, criticised, boycotted, and left by its detractors supposedly hopelessly wrecked and ruined. It was buried with a heavy atone over It, with groans Instead of - tears. But the good old sport had a epark of life yet and many good friends as survivors. So with the help of these, the stones were removed and a stronger, better, and now Impregnable sport arose. There it Is goiag to stay, and it will take all the antls In the world all their time to get it down again. They counted nine last time and thought boxing out, but at the magic word of ten It sprang up as fresh as ever. If it is knocked down again it will do the eame. HOCKEY TEAMS FORMED SOCTHERS CALIFORNIA TAKES UP STEW SPORT. Los Angeles and Suburban Towns Find Game One Admirable for IF Men and Women. LOS ANGELES, Sept. 80. (Special.) Hockey is to be one of. the great out door winter games of Los Angeles, if the plans of P. J. Higgina, G. C. Young and P. J. Dudley materialize. Higgins Is captain of the Los Angeles Hockey Club, Young is skipper of the Duarte aggregation, while Dudley Is at the helm of the beach organization. Higgins is forming three separate teams to represent the Angel City. One will be composed solely of men players, a second exclusively of women, and the third -will be composite. In this way the triangular championship matches between Los Angeles, Duarte and Santa Monica will be played by men's teams, exhibition matches by women's teams and practice games by composite elevens. The women's hockey team of Santa Monica will include the following: Mrs. Widdowson. Mrs. Bruce, Mrs. Lewis, Mrs. Dudley, Mrs. Farquhar, Miss Het tleshlp and Miss Marshall. Hockey Is becoming more popular every year. This season augurs well.

Since the club waa stanea over ov members have joined. t-i. rn IdphIm club boasts of a splendid lot of first-class players.
