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.)

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

will be very liable to outpoint "Tham."
but the squatty champion whom joe
Woodman handles always has a dan

The winner will In all probability be

many friends over there by his splendid

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.

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.

'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

sore, and for humanitarian reasons he
refused to tell how it was done and
thereby saved suffering to his fellow

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.
