Battling- Nelson, veteran of more than 100 ring- engagements, sprinkled over 17 years. Is going; to retire. The ex-llghtweight champion and conqueror of the famous Joe Gans announced In Philadelphia the other day that his bout at Pittsburg on May 14 will be his last. At the same time he con firmed this In a letter to Jack King, his father-in-law. "I am satisfied that I am about through." writes the most persistent bit of fighting machinery the ring has ever known. "I promised the public I would make this announcement wnen I had satisfied myself that I could not come back. I am satisfied. Mr. and Mrs. Nelson will be In Port land within the next two or three weeks. Nelson will celebrate his 31st fclrthday in Portland on June 5, and In cidentally look about for suitable realty investments. Pa-in-law King hopes to nee the Nelsons settle in Portland, and Bat sro Into some business here. One Job Jack has staked out for Bat Is that -of fight manager, jacn m implicit confidence In the ability of Ijirrv Madden, the big policeman, to make good: but the old-time trainer does not care to neglect nis juriun bath business to pilot Madden about the country: So he will parade the big chap before Nelson and then advise Son Bat to take the copper xo v-aii fornla for entry In the "white hope' sweeDstakes. Incidentally King is becoming more ambitious for his big charge daily. He has trained Madden down to 181 pounds, and is going to try to reduce six more and enter the policeman In tne i fa- pound, or llght-heavywelght class, as well as the heavyweight, at the Seattle chamDtonshlps of May 16 and 17. If Madden can make 173 pounds. Earl MLrbus: of Multnomah Club, will be fc.rr-ed to meet htm again. Easterners persist in declaring Lu ther McCarty out of the running for the heavyweight championship. The New York critics take great delight in hammering "Lute" for his failure to stow away Frank Moran in the recent 10-round affair, and several of them have come out flat-footed with the declaration that McCarty won't do. and have turned to Jess Vtllard and "Gun bout- Smith as the real hopes of white fightdom. The absence of a convincing punch, particularly when compared with the annihilating performances of Smith, and his disinclination to exchange nnnrhea with Willard or Smith, are re sponsible for the temporary eclipse of ileCartv.-- One or two signal victories other than the one he should register .over Pelker at Calgary on May 24 and McCarty will, be the "limelight laddie" once more. But In the mean time Willard and Smith hold the cen ter of the arena. Smith and Willard raee,t at San Fran cisco on May 20. the night Bud Ander son tackles Mandot at Vernon. This affair should test to the last degree the merits of both men. McCarty may be superior to Willard, and the writer Is Inclined to this belief. but the question must await another meeting. Others disagree, but one mnm thin is certain: The victor will be rightfully entitled to the championship if McCarty persists in nis campaign oi procrastination. Alongside of Willard. Smith will look like a lllliputian. He will be out weighed about BO pounds, and out reached manv inches. But he carries that which the fight public goes wild over a knockout punch. Experts may argue by the hour that the clever box er is the popular idol, but let a rough and tumble "knockerout" come along and the public promptly squashes the argument. It takea a mighty clever man to keep away from a fighting machine like Smith. No one has ever asserted that Wll'.ard rivals Jim Corbett In science. Hence the height, reach and avoirdu pois of the gigantic Kansan may prove unavailing against Smith's "occipital" or "hospital punch," delivered at the Joining of the neck and the back of the skull. It Is one of Fltzslmmons fa vorites, and you must confess that he could lay them low. Willie Ritchie, lightweight champion, will be In Portland, at the Empress Theater, the week of May 26. It will be . Willie's last vaudeville ap pearance before training for a July 4 fight, so it is possible that Portland fans will have the privilege of last (Taxing on Vaudeville Willie while he holds the world's title. It's not Im probable that he will pass the crown on to Joe Rivers or some other light weight on Independence day. Before Ritchie shows here In three round bouts against all comers. Jimmy Brltt. a prominent lightweight of the early Nelson period, will display his monologue wares at the Empress. Jimmy has been In Portland before, but aa a fighter. BOXIG CARD TO BE ARRANGED Brooklyn Clnb to Stag Programme During Rose Festival. The Brooklyn Athletic Club will etage the last amateur boxing card of the 1913 season in Portland. J. P. Flan agan, new matchmaker of the club, an nouncing that he will present a bill on Thursday. June 12. of Rose Festival week. Involving three Olympic Club boxers. Northwest champions, and the pick of the Portland talent. Malone. 125-pound Coast champion: Walfisoh. heavyweight Ceast champion, and Anderson, crack 116-pounder. are the prospective San Francisco entries. Flanagan hopes to match Malone, who beat Walter Williams at the Multno mah Club not long ago, against Ralph Gruman. city champion: Walflsch against either Mlebus or Madden, and Anderson or another 115-pounder with Al McNeil or Walter William. "In addition to these San Francisco boys we are going to bring down sev eral champions from the Seattle meet of May 16-17." says Flanagan. "We have an amateur sanction for the af fair and are going to show the public that the Brooklyn Club la to be figured In amateur boxing in Portland." A downtown hall with a seating ca pacity of more than 1000 will be se cured for the programme. A number of races will be staged at Wllsonille on Sunday, May 18. Dr. C. W.

Astoria people seem to be peculiarly fortunate in their selection of admirals for their annual motor-boat and rac Inr regatta, and W. I Morgan, this year's choice. It is admitted by all. maintains the high standard of pre vioua seasons. Mr. Morgan received his appoint ment last week and accepted, tie is nrtmrlnr alreadv to organize a large and efficient staff of officers who will oit him in the nleaaant duty of making the regatta which will be held on July 3, 4 and 6 a notable event. Already the people of Astoria nave subscribed generously to a fund that will provide superior entertainment for their -visitors. In addition to the usual features the programme will introduce a number of novelty eventa. The Pacific Coast motor boat cham pionships will be decided, as in former years. Some new high power boats have been built and are being built for the competitive events. .The Oregon Wolf II will appear In both the speed events and in exhibition runs. Maay Excursions Planned. The Fourth of July will be celebrated In ftttlng fashion and excursions from all parts of the state and neighboring counties in Washington will be con ducted to Astoria. The local commit tee, with the assistance of Admiral Morgan and his aides, are preparing a lot of timely entertainment. It la probable that special trains and boats will be run from Portland to Astoria for the Fourth of July festivi ties. Portland people heretofore have attended the regattas In great num bers and will go this year in even greater crowds. - Appointment la Approved. Mr. Morgan's appointment as admiral Is a most popular one in Portland. He is one of the best known and most enterprising among the younger gen eration of business men and always has been identified with the advancement and development of the city. He is a member of the Morgan-Atchley Fur niture Company, of Morgan. Fliedner & Bolce and of the Morgan-Bushong In vestment Company. His most notable enterprise is the Morgan-Bushong building now being erected on ash In gton street between Broadway and Park street. It will be eight stories high and cover half a block. He is giving personal supervision to the con struction work and the progress being made there bespeaks his success. He also Is identified with the lead ing clubs and lodges and is popular in social as well aa in commercial cir cles. BOXING BRIEFS A REPORT from Australia saya that Bill Lang and Bill Squires, ex heavyweight stars, are to re-enter the ring soon. Biddy Bishop, the Tacoma boxing ex pert who refereed the recent 15-round bout between Ray Campbell, of Se attle, and Dick Hyland, believes that Campbell has a splendid opportunity to achieve fame in the ring. Campbell beat Hyland in IS rounds, and while he didn't score a knockout, and Hyland Is far from aa good aa when he fought Nelson, McFaxland and Cross, yet he 1 Is a tough one and Campbell Is entitled to much consideration. Leach Cross has a peculiar record. He beats H the second raters, although Dick Hyland beat htm in San Francisco and Jem Driscoll walloped him good In 10 rounds, and manages to beat a fairly good one now and then. Mandot for example. Yet he has always been easy for men like McFarland, Brltton and Mat Wells. Johnny Dundee Is a much-sought-after fighter. He has been offered scraps with Charley White at New Or leans, Attell in Montana. Ollie Kirk at Milwaukee, a fight In New York, and then there is the Wolgast proposition for Los Angeles. He Is keen to meet Kil bane in a return mill at Los Angeles on July 4 or Ad Wolgast on the same date. However, that date eeema reserved for Joe Rivers and Bud Anderson, that Is if Bud beats Mandot. Earl Mohan, Bud Anderson's trainer. Is a manager. Battling Chlco, a ban tamweight who was a member of Bud's training camp. Is his charge. There Is a movement on foot to es tablish' a boxing commission for Brit ish Columbia. Promoters are busy erecting pavilions for the holding of boxing bouts, and the game Is due for a boom, but the crash Is sure to come unless the game is properly, super They say that much money will be wagered on the outcome of the Bayley Barrleau fight on Victoria day. Ernie Barrieau. who Is lighting for the Canadian title, - is a former amateur champion of the Northwest. Dan Morgan, manager of "Knockout' Brown and Jack Brlttaln. says that Johnny Coulon. the bantamweight king, wants to join the Morgan troupe. They blame Packey McFarland for the clamping of the fight lid on Omaha. Packey was scheduled to box a lad named Daniels. The Governor, Mayor and other officials were on hand but Packey failed to appear. Everyone was sore and the game was tabooed. Henry Kreiger. the former Columbus Club welterweight, will make -his debut as a headllner In a boxing ,show at Seattle on May 23. He meets joe siotto. a Cleveland, O.. boy. who Is touted as a comer. . They are suggesting a match between "Denver Ed" Martin, the old timer, and Ed Hagen. of Seattle, to decide the heavyweight championship of the Northwest.

Winner Is Likely to Meet Mc Carty on Fourth of July. BY HARRY B. SMITH. SAN FRANCISCO. May 10. (Special.) The- boxing game is safe In California for at least another two years. These have been parlous times in the last three weeks, and the result was so much in doubt that it looked extreme ly gloomy for the proponents of the sport up at Sacramento. Finally, however, there has Been a final ruling on the part of the Solons and the lawmakers will take no other action. While there has been no sentiment on the part of the people desiring to have the game stopped. It Is undeniably the case that there has been a certain amount of such feeling In the reform Legislature that is about to close its sessions, and only the hardest kind of work by Coffroth and his associates stalled them off. When the Legislature first convened, two anti-fight bills were Introduced, one In the Assembly by Brown, of San Mateo, and the other by Senator Brown, or "Golden Rule" Brown, as he has come to be nicknamed. Assembly Bill Stricter. Both of these bills were to prohibit boxing entirely, save for four-round matches in purely amateur clubs, and they differed only in the penalty. The Assembly bill was the more strict, de claring that prizefighting would be a felony and that all the parties con nected In any way could be so con victed. ,., , Senator Brown's measure likewise was to prohibit the game, but the pen alty was less severe. The fight hinged on the Senate meas-. ure. Several- weeks ago, after it was thought the situation was safe. Senator Brown had his bill reported unani mously out of committee. The boxing people commenced to line up their forces and attempted to stall off . action. Brown, however. Insisted upon a vote, and one night last week he had It. He lacked Just one vote of the 21 necessary to pass his measure, and then gave notice of a motion to reconsider. When It came to the reconsideration vote, he whipped some of the outsiders Into line and secured what he wanted. a rain the situation looked bad. but the boxing forces rallied, and. largely to gain time, amendments were Intro duced. Senator Julllard Introduced an amendment to restrict boxing to 20 rounds, which restriction Is not In force under the present bill. Amendment Regarded aa Absurd. Senator Brown introduced an amend ment to limit the number of rounds to eight, to cut off the one-minute rest between rounds and to permit pro moters to charge no more than 25 cents. It was an absurd amendment, of course. but goes to show how little the Senator understands tne sport he was attempt ing to regulate. On Monday night of this week the Julllard amendment came up, and se cured passage by a vote of 20 to 17. Now Senator Brown says that he Is through. His bill has ben so thor oughly emasculated that he has no further Interest In It. In the meantime the Assembly bill on this subject failed of passage, and even failed when reconsideration had been secured. Friends of the sport admit that there Is a tendency toward reform, and the chances are that two years hence they will have some bill of their own draw ing before the Legislature, beating the crank who wants to stop it altogether. , . Smith and Willard Training. Gunboat Smith and Jess Willard. the heavyweights, who meet in Coffroth's open air arena on May 20, arrived in San Francisco the forepart of the week and are quartered at their respective camps. Gunner Smith was accompanied on the trip across the continent by his manager. Jim Buckley, while Jess Wil lard made the trip down from Harbin Springs with Tom Jones. The Gunner is at Shannon's resort. In San Rafael, while Jess Willard Is at the beach. There will be quite a disparity in weights. Willard stripped at 244 pounds the first day of his training, while Gunboat Smith can't possibly scale 180 pounds. Willard may come down a trifle, but he Is going to have an ad vantage something like 50 pounds. That Is a big advantage, although when Bob Fltzslmmons was in his prime he could give away that much weight and more and still win handily enough. Smith has the experience on his side of the scale, and will depend upon that to win for him when the pair of them stand ready to mix In the ring. Jones thinks that the weight will prove the undoing of Smith, but Buckley onlyj $30.00 $32.50 Suits . S3S.OO. $27.50 Suits . The Toggery 384 Washington laughs, and declares that the bigger they are the harder they fall. Willard hasn't had much bf a ring record and he will need it. We have all seen big boxers In the ring before who couldn't accomplish anything, and this may be a horse of the same color. He strikes me as being the 6ort of chap who is slow to think and to move. That was one great trouble with Al Kaufman, and the real reason that he was never closer to the title. I rather imagine that Jones appre ciates this may be the difficulty with Willard, for he has surrounded the cowboy with a large staff of scrappers, some of them clever and some burly, so that he can have an insight into all sorts of boxing. No matter who wins, the victor win be going after Luther McCarty, as he seems to have some sort of hold on the heavyweight title. Buckley says that he has for a long time been try ing to coax McCarty Into the same ring with smith, and that iutner is afraid. Providing one or the other shows suitable class, Jimmy Coffroth Is likely to go after a heavyweight card for the Fourth of July. It would make a good attraction, as we haven't had a heavy weight bill of any proportions for long. HALTS TRI-STATE WALLA WAXLA-BAKEK GAME OXTiY OXE TO COUNT.

McLoughlin has been defeated twice by Australian players, but the players he will meet this year are noi general ly accounted so formidable and he will have the advantage of playing on courts with which he is familiar.

Taking 38 Vi points, more than double the number secured by any other school, the preparatory athletes of Columbia University today walked away with the annual state in terscholastic track and field meet held by the University of Oregon. Washington High School of Portland was second with 16 points, and Eugene High School third with 14 points. The other schools which broke into the score sheet. In their order, were Hill Military Academy, 12 points; Astoria High School, 8; Jefferson High School, 1a: St. John High School, 6; Athera High School, 5; Salem High School. 4; North Bend High School, 4; Union High School, 4; Corvallis High School, 3. The remaining 29 preparatory schools which were represented in the meet did not draw in the distribution of the points. Hill Man Stars. Conditions for todays meet were even more unfavorable than for the Oregon-Washington duel of the pre ceding day. The mud on the track was so deep spikes were almost useless, and men on'ho would have threatened rec ords on a good track floundered about hopelessly. The only creditable time was that of Grant, Hill Military Academy, in th century, which was run on a compara tively dry course laid out on the foot ball field. Grant was caught in 10 1-5, and with the form he was showing he would have easily knocked off the frac tion and done the flat on a fast track Grant defeated Goreczky of Columbia cleverly in both sprints. Payne of Athena, won the mile by a city block. Three days ago, running with McClure and Hugglns of Oregon, he was timed by Hay ward In 4:28 within a second of the world's inter- scholastic record. Nelson plowed through the half mile and won without a mishap, but in the quarter, which he was figured to win, he fell in the fight for the pole at the first turn. Moses Capsizes in HurdJee. This was not the only upset of the day, for in the 220-yard hurdles Moses of Corvallis was pressing Kirkland, the winner, when he capsized over the last hurdle. Kirkland, of Columbia, was highest point winner with 11 points and Goreczky. his teammate was second and only a point behind, although he did not take a first.

Since the results of yesterday's Oregon-Washington track meet have reached" the campus of Oregon Agricultural College, "Dad" Moulton's Aggie athletes are congratu lating Captain "Rube" Williams, Johnny Baker, Lafky and Reynolds on their de cision not to make the trip to Berkeley to participate in the Coast champion ship meet. Had the boys made the California trip, as It originally appeared they might do, they could not have reached Cor vallis on the return before Tuesday, and in view of the fact that the O. A. C.
