Retired Mlddleweisht Cbamploa ef the World.) frepyrlsht. ItlL by A. H. t B-stt- Whether or not a New York appear ance count for anything-. the demand for my services Increased after I had met Billy Smith at Coney Island. Pos sibly publicity had somethlnc to do with It for then, as now. the bis; news associations had their headquarters la New York and had started giving three times as much publicity to my New York bout than to one of as great or greater' importance In some other part of the country. I don't know why It Is thst every dinky lit tle scrap In New York rets a few lines OTer he press assoc atlons wires when much mora Important bouts elsewhere must bee; for notice. This publicity may account for the standing- a "New York debut" gives a boxer. Chicago fans had not seen me In action for some time and there was a general demand that I return there for a bout. My thrlce-stung- horsemen friends were looking- for another chance and they finally persuaded (ieorge Iawson. welterweight cham pion of Australia, to make the trip to this country. DawBM Brt Kaaerly When wn arrived, they started the same publicity campaign and de mands for a bout which had marked their efforts In the three bouts before In which they had lost heavily. Daw sons challenges did not go unnoticed for I saw no reason why I should not meet him. In fact. I was glad of a chance to make my world title more secure, for If I beat lawson I would have a right to a clear title to the world's honors. The match was nulckly made and the bout took rlac. before the Chi cago fans st Tattereall's. a famous porting place In the Illinois city about that time. April IS. l9i. Boxing was then permitted In Chi cago, but the bouts were limited to six rounds so It was In one of these short-session affairs that I clashed with Dawson. Knowing that It was to be a short bout, both Imwson and I worked at top speed throughout, and for four rounds the honors were practically even. After that. Dawson's speed be gan to lessen and I landed some ef fective blows. I had htm In trouble In the sixth and final round but was unable to win by a knockout, though , I was given the decision tor out pointing the Australian. Returning to Bridgeport. Conn.. I met Dick Uuthrle. a heavyweight, and stopped him In three rounds. . My next bout was also at Bridgeport. This time my opponent was another heavy welgnt. aurlce Lane, of New Haven, and he. too. was stopped In the third round. Always la fimm Caadltloav Our exhibition bout at Coney Island had given Billy Smith a line on my capabilities and he began to negotiate for a championship contest. 1 was agreeable for I did not derm Smith very dangerous and the financial end i.f a match with him was a tempting Inducement. Sid bets were posted and offers were received from the various clubs which were In a position to stage a bout of Its Importance. The club before which I had fought Danny Needham the memorable 7 rounds at Minneapolis was finally awarded the bout and I went to the Milling City about ten days before the bout to get Into shape. As a mat ter of fact. I was always In good phrslcal condition and could always take a bout at short notice, yet I never, with one exception of which I will tell later, entered the ring without making every possible effort to be In the finest of physical condition. Many a high-class boxer has been beaten by a dub simply because the good man underestimated the strength of the dub and overestimated his own capabilities when out of condition. I '. was caught once myself and I should know. I worked in public In Minneapolis snd there was a lot of Interest In the bout. Smith, with a large retinue of trainers and barkers, was there a few lays before the bout, and the night we entered the ring found the sporting fraternity of Minneapolis roused to a high pitch of excitement and a huge rcwd jammed inside the four walla r the big building where a champion ship was to be defended. Illy ssltB fleas Fighter. I believe that the spectators got a run for their money." The articles ailed for a 24-round bout for the wel terweight championship of the world, and while I won the decision after SO gruelling rounds. I had to work bard to defend my title. Billy Smith, some railed him "Mys terious. certainly was a clever fighter. He was clever and could hit with either hand, though I should say that his right was a bit the more powerful. There was action In every round and It was a rase of give and take. The pace was furious, and each brought into play every trick of boxing and -rneralship known at that time. In the 17th round Smith swung a vicious right for my chin. I saw It coming, but not In time to get entirely clear. I swung up my head and the Mow bit me on the throat. I am not well posted on medical terms, but I will try to make myself clear to the average reader. For a moment after the blow landed I seemed to choke. There was a feeling as If the walls of my "Adam's apple' had been caved In. After a few seconds, though each se-nd seemed like an hour to me. I could breath again, but the muscles of my throat seemed to be paralysed. I was unable to breath through my nose, and for the remaining three rounds I had to fight with my mouth open. The gong at the end of the 17th round was one of the most welcome sounds I ever heard. Vartes Welahts Takea Oav Despite this handicap, my speed was not affected, and. made to realise that mv title was In danger. I set a whirl wind parr. When the end of the bout had come. I was pretty tired, but I had fought Smith to a standstill. He was barrly able to guard himself In the nnal round and I was given the de cision. I took quite a rest after this bout and had my throat given thorough at tention. I soon recovered the use of my neck and throat muscles. Having disposed of all contenders for my title. I again started taking on bouts with men of almost any weight who could be obtained to meet me. In a tour around the country I met men or all weights, from light weights to heavyweights, and no bout went over six rounds. (In the next article Mr. Ryan tells of some of his exhibition bouts and his fight with Jack Dempsey.) GTX CLCB . TO ENTERTAIN' Portland Team Prepares to Greet Eugene Marksmen Mere. The Portland Gun Club Is making preparations to give the Eugene team a royal time when It comes here for the final Inter-club shoot. It will be the last meet of a series of three, each having won one of two shoots. The date for the last meet has not been set but will be held near Christmas. At Eugene, where the second shoot was held last Monday and Tuesday, the Portland marksmen were honored with a banquet and a special band played during the feast. There Is little doing here at present at the club grounds, the only event going on being the club shoot for the Holohaa trophy. Caldwell, Thornton.

The big noise In the heavyweight di vision toward the end of the present year will be a 20-round clash between the two Sams Langford and McVey In far away Australia, and the winner will be In line for a shy at the cham pionship now held by Jack Johnson, and which Joe Jeannette is claiming, providing 'LH Arthur retires, which Is not probable, as Jack likes to shine In the limelight. Hugh D. Mcintosh, the Australian promoter. Intended to have Johnson over In Sydney f- a big match on the National holiday. Boxing day. but Jark has disappointed Mac as well as others. Not to be outdone for a big card, however. Mac has practically matched up McVey and Langford for December i and they will travel the 20-round distance. It will not be their first meeting for they fought a 20-round draw In far Is April 1 and the big California negro McVey gained a lot of confidence In that contest, so that langford may have his work cut out In their next meeting. McVey has a splendid left hand, which If he uses It to advantage, the way he did In Paris at times, he will keen the Tar Baby guessing and will be very liable to outpoint "Tham." but the squatty champion whom joe Woodman handles always has a dan gerous kick In that right hand and can deliver the sleep-producer any time he lands In the right spot. The winner will In all probability be matched with Jack Lester, who made many friends over there by his splendid showing with Bill Lang and Mcvey. Then there Is Dan (Porky) Flynn with the Woodman party, who may be shoved In for a 20-round whirl with NEW PRESIDENT OP AMATEUR ATHLETIC UNION AND PORTLAND MEMBER OF DIRECTORATE. : f : .

Bandsman Rice, the English light heavyweight, also Is there, but Is hard ly class enough for Langford or Mc Vey. Rice made a good showing re cently when he knocked out Jack How ard, the Australian heavyweight. In 12 rounds. Hughle Mehegan. the Australian lightweight champion. who Intended coming to America this season, has changed his mind and will remain home at least until next year. Mehegan Is one of the cleverest boys In the Antip odes and would show up well with any of the lightweights here outside of Wolgast and McFarland and he would keep even the champion busy, for he can smother Just as well as Freddy Welsh and carries a stiff right hand wallop. Hughle recently defeated Charlie Griffin and Hock Keyes. put ting the lntter to sleep in 14 rounds. Dann McKetrick. the busy little manager of Joe Jeannette. has Issued a claim for the heavyweight cham pionship of the world on behalf of his big husky fighter, based on the suppo sition that Jark Johnson has retired from the roped arena for all time. Of course If Jack had really retired there would be some ground on which to base Jeannette's claim, hut he must also consider that Sam Langford, In the eyes of the public, has. even a stronger claim to the title, although Samuel says himself that Jeannette Is one of the toughest big fellows In the business today, for he Is always com ing back for more no matter how hard you Jolt him. Langford told me In London last Spring that he considered Jeannette as hard to best as Jack Johnson. - T- VvV".V'-;.-'.' MVV:-',;VvtV:.- e Amateur Athletic Union. In New Tork. te.

(3 f ) f AUSTRALIA IS LOSER Portland Team Defeats Boys Six Goals to Nothing. VISITORS FIGHT PLUCKILY Game Goes Strongly in FfeTor of Home Team From Start Work of Vanquished Shows Vp Well In Tackling. An all-star team of Portland soccer players defeated the Australian boys yesterday on Multnomah Field by six g-oals to nothing;. From the klckoff the guru went strongly in favor of Portland. Two corners were forced In quick succes sion, but they were well cleared by In a;, who was playing- a fine game in goal for the visitors. The Portland forwards were at fault In their combi nation, and were pulled up for oATslde on more than one occasion or a goal would have resulted. The Kangaroos, taking advantage of a free kick, set up a hot attack, forcing a fruitless corner, but it was not long before the home team was under way again. Ing Just managing to tip over the bar a hot shot from Stewart, who, securing the ball again, opened the scoring. Australia retaliated vigorously, giving Duncan plenty to do for a time, but the home defense was equal to the occasion, and sent the forwards away again for Stewart to head through a second from a corner. From this point to the end of the game, the Australian lads continued to play a plucky game against their older opponents, though they were unable to prevent them scoring on four more occasions. Considering that the majority of the boys were more used to their National game than to soccer, the result con veys great credit to them. They tackled strongly, going straight for the maft with the ball, and were always dangerous when they got going. The goalkeeper, Williams, and Kenfrey at back, with Clark and Morrell at half, were the best of the defense, while Kandall and Shacklock made a good rlKht wing. . For the home team Mackie and Robertson shone In defense,-- with Highett and ftewart as stars In the forward line. The line-up: Portland.

While his uncle has not heard from him directly, he expects to meet the tall manager at the League meet Ins; in San Francisco Wednesday. Just what success Walter McCredle met In his Cleveland visit may not be known until after the American League meeting scheduled for De cember 14. At that time all players Intended for Portland will be waived on bv the other big league clubs. Buddy Ryan and Jesse Garrett left Portland last night on a hunting tnp to the duck preserves leased by Wll llard N. Jones on Columbia Slough. The ball-tossers secured the concession at the Instance of Fielder A. Jones, former manager Hf the White Sox. Danny Shea, the Seattle catcher, who makes his home In Portland, held a conference with D. E. Dugdale, the Seattle magnate, who was here Friday. Danny refuses to say whether he signed up again for next season. Eddie Mensor. the speedy little In Belder of the Colts, Is passing ths Winter in Portland. Eddie Is seldom seen about town, as he remains at his home with his family most of the time. He Is anxiously awaiting the gong to sound for the opening of the next season. . Big Harry Abies resents the inference that he Is doing such light work as standing guard over 'Chinks" on foreign vessels In the harbor. He says he Is working at long-shorelng and shows healthy calloused hands in evi dence. Harry Is some nifty handling freight. "Smiling" Metsger is planning several Innovations in the catering line at the new baseball park next season He recently returned from a trip East and has brought with him several new ideas which he expects to prove popu lar with the Portland fans. Dugdale positively asserts that he has quit winning pennants In the Whiter, and refuses to predict the flag for Seat tle next season. Dug has learned a couple of bitter lessons and says It Is folly to make too many assertions in the oft season. He also refuses to name his manager -for next season. mm George Stovall, who had such a suc cessful season with Cleveland last season, is slated to manage the Toledo team In the American Association next season. Toledo Is virtually owned by Cleveland and Stovall should make It a success In 1912. While Southern League writers and magnates are somewhat puzrled over President Kavanaugh's passive attitude toward derating that circuit at San Antonio recently, they are not in clined to censure his action, but be lieve that he acted for the best. Ed Delehanty. the great slugger, now dead, was once requested to write an article on how to bat. He consented and the next day the sporting editor received a slip of paper on which was written, 'How to bai, by Ed Dele hanty.

In making the trade "Dug" 1 figurine; on playing Wlllett at first base next season, which may mean that George Ort. also a former Beaver, is to be trans ferred to the outfield or traded to some other team. "Dug" Is "sweet" on Ort, or at least he was until the Jakey Baumgarten Incident, when Ort put the um pire out with a punch to the Jaw. Roy Wlllett was brought to Portland by Walter McCredle In July. 1909. He was the star pitcher for the Colorado School of Mines team and was tipped to McCredle as a coming tar. He was unable to show much with the Beavers, and, after a short trial. McCredle released him. whereupon Hap Hogan, manager of the Vernon team, grabbed Wll lett. and he enjoyed a most suc cessful season with the Tigers in 1910. In 1911 his arm went back on him, and he was sold by Hogan t o t h e Vancouver club, where he did fine work as a utility player. 11 r-v.v t I s i r i . - r n ! r ( ), WRESTLING GAME WILL SOON REVIVE 'End of Gotch-Mahmout Con tract December 16 Ex pected to Help. I0WAN GOING TO EUROPE Champion's Coming Tour Xot As suming Rosy Hue From Monetary Standpoint, as Was Antici pated at Outset. Things will begin to stir in earnest in the wrestling world after December 16. That date is picked because it marks the termination of the contract between Frank Gotch and Tusslff Mah mout. After his victory over H'acken schmidt, the world's champion paved the way for his American tour by re moving all opposition from big chal lengers by getting Mahmout as a star member of his traveling company. Gotch, according to the latest in formation at hand, will go to Europe In January, but not under the money making glitter that he once thought he would. His "bookings" across the water are not panning out as well as it was thought they wouldv say re ports from England. Under different conditions than first suggested, the Iowan is likely to make the tour. Mah mout, it is said, will not accompany him. , A Ever since Jess Pederson, the giant Scandinavian, arrived, his managers have boomed him for a match with Mahmout. Also, Jack Herman has been busy hurling 110,000 guarantees at Gotch In behalf of Zybsiko. Mahmout proves to be a foil on which the cham pion receives all challenges. "Go get a reputation throw Mah mout first." Is the Gotch slogan. But after Gotch retires to his Iowa farm Mahmout will be left out in the open to close deals for engagements with any of the foreign masters of the mat game. Cordrelll. th Turk, whose weight Is said to be something more than S00 pounds, will make his Middle Western debut In Chicago December 2. No op ponent has been selected for him yet, but he will have to be a clever man to disturb the equanimity of the mam moth MusseUnan. Meanwhile a group of East Indian wrestlers, managed by an English pro moter, are making quite a bid for fame. With Gotch in Europe, the wrestling field will be monopolized by the for eigners, with Mahmout as the star. Here's the latest one on Jack John son: Ex-President Dlas of Mexico was one of a party of distinguished men In a prominent cafe in Paris when Jack and his white wife entered. The corpulent heavyweight king eyed General Diaz Intently and finally asked the solici tous napkin knight, "Who Is the distinguished-looking gentleman with the gray hair?" The desired Information came forth with. Johnson, with his characteristic offlclousness. handed the waiter his card, with instructions to present it to Mexico's exiled dictator. When the card was received. General Diaz cast a withering glance in the direction of the ebony-hued fighter, and then left the cafe. "Denver Ed" Martin, who appeared In a boxing exhibition with Tommy Ryan at the Armory last night, at one time was considered a likely candidate for the heavyweight championship. But. like many others of his race, his chances were spoiled by being swal lowed up in the swirl of the blazing lane. Martin's fighting ability was first recognized by "Sam" King, the leader of "cullud swelldom" of the Barbary Coast. King is proprietor of a dance hall and cafe In San Francisco's no torious tenderloin district and several "bouncers" are part of his establish ment. When patrons get too bois terous they are ejected. Martin acted In this capacity for various times, and when a patron dis played pugilistic tendencies he was right on the Job. In fact, he was so much so that King decided he was cut out for a ring career. For a while he was Just as much of a success as a real fighter as he was as a handy man Russ Ford, the Yankee's star twlrler. Is considerably peeved over the "remi niscent" fans who declare that there Is "nothing new" in baseball, and every time a "new" play Is pulled they recall it having been used back in '74. "I never put anyone on to how I throw my spitter to break either way," says Ford. "One of these days some of the fellows will discover it. or it will become public property. Then some of these veterans will remember that Hi ram Phlap threw that identical curve In '78 so much that his arm became sore, and for humanitarian reasons he refused to tell how it was done and thereby saved suffering to his fellow ball players. Just watch and hear It Contest Checks Redeemed at Eilers Callers find $100 Checks Worth at Least $147 Several callers yesterday asked Eilers Music House to accept $100 certificates Issued by a factory branch. This fac tory branch, it seems, makes great claims as to being able to furnish pianos upon very advantageous condi tions. It claims to be "the only direct factory branch in the City of Portland." "All other piano houses are merely re tall dealers," it says. "We deal with you direct from factory to home," it continues. "You save the Jobber's profit, you save the dealer's profit," it says. Sounds plausible, you say. Any statements of this kind are wrong. A factory branch has no ad vantages over even the ordinary piano dealer, and when It comes to compet ing with a concern like Eilers Music House. It 1b simply hopelessly helpless. Ask the factory branch how many pianos It has sold this year. Ask it how much rent it has paid. Then see for yourself how much this wonderful factory branch has to add for one item, namely store rent, alone to the price of each piano. All other expenses, you will find, fig ure upon the same basis. A tacky factory branch has no ad vantage to offer the buyer. On the other hand, Eilers Music House comes before you with a positive guarantee of satisfaction. Should you not b pleased drop the minute they find out how 1 hold that ball.

But to cap the climax, the people who called here Saturday were simply astounded to find upon our floor the identical make of piano upon which this credit check of $100 was to be applied at the factory branch as part payment.
