PRINCETOX. X. J., Oct 26. Prince
ton surprised the most ODtlmlstic of
her followers today by defeating Dart-
mouth 22 to 7.
Princeton's victory was purely a re
suit of "outfighting" tactics. Dart
mouth assumed the attack and carried
the ball well Into Princeton's terri
tory on a series of line plunges and a
variety or trick plays which complete
ly barried the Princeton players. As
th game progressed. however, the
home eleven . seemed to get stronger
ana. showing remarkable speed both In
offense and defense.' held the visitors
well in check in the second half.
Tljcera Brace Near Goal.
Dartmouth rushed the ball almost as
much as Princeton, but the Tigers
always strengthened when their goal
line was In danger and several times
recovered fumbles by Dartmouth, which
always managed to come at the most
inopportune times for the Hanoverians.
"Hobby" Baker's work was without
question the feature of the fray. With
Princeton one point behind in the
second period Baker gave them the
lead by kicking a goal from placement
from the 30-yard line and In additlili
made the most sensational run seen
here this year. Gathering in the ball
on Princeton's 15-yard line, he dodgred
his way through the entire Greci.i
eleven and ran 85 yards for a touch
down. Walter opened the game by kicking
to Llewellyn, who returned the ball five
yards before being tackled. Dartmouth
kept Princeton on the defensive
throughout the first quarter and forced
the play at all times. Dartmouth pre
sented a varied attack with numerous
trick plays. Morey grabbed a forward
pass from Andrews and dashed 30 yards
before being downed. H. Baker went
in for Walter for Princeton.
Green Held on Line.
Dartmouth advanced the ball to Prin
ceton's foot line, but Princeton held
and Dewitt kicked to midfleld. Dart
mouth rushed the ball down the field
and the quarter ended with Dart
mouth in possession of the ball on
Princeton s ten-yard line.

Gilbert and Davidson Journeyed from Portland to Roseburg, where they

CALIFORNIA TURNS
AGAINST JOHNSON
Board of Supervisors at San
Francisco Takes Stand
Opposing Negro.
C0FFR0TH ALSO SPEAKS
Promoter Says He Might Have Had
Champion and Jim Flynn but
Knew Public Would Not Be
In Favor 'of Bont.
SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 26. (Specfal.)
Jack Johnson, champion pugilist of
the world, seems to have run his race,
Public opinion has fallen against him,
because of his actions and his failure to
keep bis place, and today 1 doubt if
there is a city In the country that would
dare to stage him as an attraction. Sen
timent is altogether too strong to per
mit anything of the sort, and it would
not be surprising if he would find him
self obliged to default his . title and
quietly withdraw from the limelight.
A negro fighter is all right when he
knows .his place, but when he attempts
to assume other rights, then It is fit
and proper that he should be squelched.
' Negro Long In Disfavor.
Johnson was In disfavor In San Fran
cisco on his last visit to this city and
the time before, when he was training
for the Jeffries match. In those days
of more than two years ago, he had
with him the white woman who was his
wife and recently died In Chicago. Even
then his appearance on the street with
the woman caused murmurs or trouble,
but after the present agitation, he
would not do at all.
Hugh Mcintosh, of Australia, started
the ball rolling when he telegraphed
his representative, W. C J. Kelley, to
break off all negotiations and drop
Johnson; saying that sentiment was
against the colored man.
- California had previously taken much
the same stand when former Governor
Gillette declared that Johnson couldn't
fight Jeffries within the borders of this
state.
Now comes the police committee of
the Board of Supervisors of San Fran
cisco to declare that a permit would be
refused to any promoter who. might
care to stage- Johnson. Likewise the
promoters have been rushing to the
front to say that they have had no In
tention of using the burly negro.
Coffroth Not Surprised.
"I have been expecting some out
break of this sort on the part of John
son," said Co (troth, "and naturally It
does not surprise me in the least. For
more than a year now I- have consid
ered it Inadvisable to use Johnson, be
cause I have figured that it would hurt
the game. I might have had Johnson
and Jim Flynn but I didn't care to ex
cite public opinion, that I well .knew
would be against such a match."
Others, have spoken the same way,
and as Johnson Is barred In New York
he has not many places left to him In
which he could fight.
He is a negro who above all else likes
the hero worship that comes to a cham
pion from the big crowds, and I fancy
that the attitude against him will hurt
so much that ne may retire, in gooa
faith and quit the game for all time to
come. "
Certainly. If he decides on that at
titude, there will be no tears shed so
far as the sporting fraternity Is con
cerned. It might take some little time
to adjust the new conditions and bring
up another world's champion, but after
all that would only be a detail. .
Unquestionably, his retirement would
be the very best thing that could hap
pen to the pugilistic world.
Kaufman Not Right.
Al White, the training quarters man
in Oakland, who was managing Al
Kaufman, says that the burly Callfor-
nlan seems to be in a comatose state.
Ever since his fight with Luther.
McCarty," said White, this week, "Al
sits around his house In Sausallto and
mopes. I know that from the head
down he seemed to be In splendid phy
sical condition for the match, but ho
wasn't right In the head. A fighter
couldn't be right who would hold his
chin out and let a man crack It time
and again. ' I hope that he will quit
the game as a lot of his friends have
advised him to do. There Is nothing
n it for him to continue at that sort
of work."
The way the four-round game has
been growing In importance In San
Francisco is best exemplified by the
money some of the youngsters are re
ceiving. I have In mind a lightweight
under the name of Willie Hoppa, who
has come to the front during the past
few months. Willie halls from Butch
erton, where he has had a Job until re
cently. Having won a few of his
matches, he came to be a popular Idol!
Last week for instance, he was paid
$400 for four rounds with Frankle
Kirk from Vallejo. This week he was
matched with Tommy McFarland, also
a local boy, and each of them drew
down a guarantee of $600.
In addition, the promoter must stage
something like six or seven other bouts.
Of course, they don't run high, but In
the aggregate they will total $500
That means $1700 for the card. As s
rule these four-round shows cost about
$1700, after which there are other ex
penses such as hall rent and license to
be paid.
Opponent Yet Unnamed.
The prices range from 50 cents In the
gallery to $2 in the box seats, and the
best houses go as high as $2800. That
means about $500 In profits for the
matchmaker and the man, who is hand
ling the card. It is by no means too
high when you stop to consider that If
he struck a bad night or for any rea
son the people didn't show, he would be
out and injured.
Not until after Monday night. No
vember 4, when Ad Wolgast and Joe
Mandot box 10 rounds 3n New Orleans
will Coffroth decide upott Wolgrast's op
ponent for the Thanksgiving day card.
It depends largely upon what sort of a
showing Mandot makes. If he can
show to good form aga.lnst the cham
pion and will accept a reasonable offer,
Coffroth will give him the match.
San Francisco people would like to
see this chance come to WillJe Ritchie,
but as long as he is under the manage
ment of Billy Nolan, Coffroth will hard
ly talk business with him. Truth to
tell. Nolan is the toughest sort of a
handicap to Ritchie, and the sooner the
fighter finds it out the better.
Things are going to be quuet in San
Francisco for the next few weeks with
the baseball season over. Possibly
fighting will come up stronger, but un
less it does, the picking Is going to be
decidedly lean for the sporting scribes
Football, of course, will hold us for e
few weeks, but around Christmas there
will be little or nothing.
Weaver Modest Youth.
George "Buck" Weaver "and Pine
Bodie are am one: the latest additions
to the baseball colony. They have come
to- San Francisco to Winter and wlU
have a hunting trip with Oscar Vltt ami
several others of the boys.
Weaver, none the worse apparently
for his bumping with Lord In the series
with the Chicago Cubs, is his own mod
est self.
'The team was weakened when I
was taken out of the game," he ex
plains. "After I was back, we had a
walkover and won four straight."
Yes, Weaver just hates himself.
Tyler Christian will keep some of
the Oaks together to play a series of
three games against a picked team of
l-.astern stars the week following the
season's close. One of these games Is
to be played on Thursday, October 31.
and there will be two games on Sun
day, the money to be divided among the
men playing.
Henry Berry, of the Angels, who is
here with his club this week, wants to
enter a denial of a story that appeared
in one of the San Francisco evening
papers to the effect that he had offered
the management of his club to Frank
Chance. He says that Frank Dillon
will continue as manager of the Angels
and that the story was written by some
newspaper man from the South who
dislikes Dillon and wanted to play him
a nasty trick.
The Coast League will be represented
at the annual meeting of the minor
leaguers in Milwaukee, Wis., on No
vember 12, by President Baum, J. Cal
Ewing, Henry Berry and Happy Hogan
The party will not be as large as lust
year at San Antonio, but for all that,
there will be enough on hand to get
what the Coasters want.

Carl Wolff, the 195-pound halfback, one
of the most remarkable all-around ath

ca within less than two hours' ride of
rortianu, wnicn is best described in
superlatlvfs. That Mecca Is Deer
Island. To be more explicit, that part
of Deer Island, Ave miles south u
Kalama, on the Oregon side of tho
Columbia River, reserved for the mem
bers of the Deer Island Hunting Club
and thelr friends.
At thfcj time of the year the hunter
who faiUs to bag the limit by noon on
Deer Island Is a poor shot indeed. That
day is badly spent If every hunter does
not return to Portland with 35 ducks,,
teal, mallard, sprig, widgeon and
spoonbiE, for home consumption and
distribution among lucky friends.
The Deer Island Hunting Club, with
a membership of seven, has a preserve
on Deer Island composed of 2300 acres,
with IS distinct lakes or nonria unrf n
in number of slougrhs. There are shal
low lakes, with the soft, muddy bottom
so dear to the leart of the speedy teak,
the deeper lakos, with harder bottom,
which ilnd favor with the more stately
mallard, and Intermediate lakes suited
for the feeding of sprig, widgeon,"
spoonbill and other species of duck, j
Ducks Have Haven.
A distinct feature of the Deer'
Island Hunting Club preserve and one
which makes it the best huntine-
in this section of Oregon, Is the "rest
ing" lake. This resting lake Is the
largest body of water on the preservt,
half a mile wide In spots and more tha,i
a mile long-, where shooting is pro
hibited. Hundreds of thousands of
ducks rest in this central lake, immiino
from attack, and fly to the smaller
lakes, where they feed on wheat during
the week and attempt to do so on Bun
day. One of the best rules of the club, and
one which brands the members as true
sportsmen, prohibits shooting into a '
flock of ducks, or shooting at birds
resting on tlue lakes. "Get them on
the wing, one at a time," is the rule
of shotgun procedure, with, of course,
the automatic and pump gun taboo.
The only variation is the occasional
effort, often successful, to pot two or
three lapped in flight.
Each shooting place, nicknamed va
riously as the "Sink," "Barrel," "Box."
etc., is provided with live and wooden
decoys, which Caretaker Harrill, an
extremely busy man during tha sea-,
son, places in pqsitlon for the hunters
belore daylight every Sunday morning.
Geeae Alio Hunted.
In addition to ducks, geese, phea
sants, mountain quail and an occa-'
slonal deer, driven across the sloughs'

club's preserve. However, the activity
