THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAN, PORTLAND, JUNE 1, 1913, 11 The . Abrvmal Brute, by Jack London. SI. The Century c;o., Xew Yvrk City. Sines Jack London wrote "The Call of the Wild," whenever any of his sub sequent novels were Issued, too enthu siastic admirers railed out: "Here comes Jack London's masterpiece!" The) reiteration grew wearisome. When was the real, new big seller to emerge? It may be that London will be re membered best by his audacity and wonderful frankness, shown in this ex posure of graft in the modern prize fight. "The Abysmal Brute." which is sometimes poetic, often fierce, but al ways compelling. The reading public liked a recent American novel, in which the hero was killed in a prizefight in San Francisco but the end of it was too sad. One confesses to the same feeling of dread, in opening the present novel now under review, merciless in Its exposure of the crookedness and thievery of the "fake" prizefight, in which managers agree, previous to the fight taking place, as to which fighter shall be knocked out and when. The one dread is, having once fallen in love with the pink-and-white h . is he to be killed? "The Abysmal Brute" lias a jenr. ine thrill in all of its 169 pases. Sum Stubener is a veteran manager of prize fighters of the money-making kind, and one morning he receives a letter from an old lighter whom he had forgotten, Pat Glendon. The letter is dated from Siskiyou County; Cal.. and Glendon writes that his only son. young Pat, is a young Jeffries, a real "white hope," and is open for an engagement that will startle the world of fighters. Stu bener, with some difficulty, finds the camp in the wilds of Northern Cali fornia where the Glendons live. Young Pat is of Irish extraction, is 22 years old, has always slept in the open Summer or Winter has never smoked tobacco or drunk liquor, has never been in love, dislikes women, and is phys ically a giant. He had been taught the tricks of the fighting trade by his father, but had been bred a hunter. The proud father says to Stubener: "Women ha' been the ruination of many a good fighter, but they won't be of him. He blushes like a girl if any thing young in skirts looks at him a second time, or too long the first one. An' they all look at him. But when he fights, when he fights! God! Its the old Bavage Irish that flares in him, an' drives .the fists of him. Not that he goes oft his base. Don't walk away like that. At my best, I was never as cool as he. I misdoubt 'twas the wrath of me that brought the accidents. But he's an iceberg. He's hot an" cold at the one time, a live wire in an ice chest. I've made a man of him. I know the game in my head, an' I've kept up with the times and the mod ern changes. The crouch? Sure, he knows all the styles and the economies. He never moves two inches, when an Inch and a half will do the turn. And when he wants, he can spring like a kangaroo. In-flghtlng? Wait till you see. Better than his out-fightin' and he sure could a' sparred with Peter Jackson an' outfooted Corbett in his best. I've taught 'im It all, to the last trick, and he's improved on the teach In'. He's a fair genius at the game. An" he's had plenty of husky mountain men to try out on. I gave him the fancy work, and they gave him the sloggln". Nothing shy or delicate about them. Roarin" bulls an' big grizzly bears, that's what they are, when tt fomes to huggin" in a clinch, or swing in" rough-like in the rushes. An' he plays with 'em like you an' me would play with, little puppy dogs." Mind you, all this time. Stubener had Tiot seen young Pat, who was away after a deer. Suddenly the young gi ant walks into the clearing. .In one hand he carried a rifle, and across hts shoulders a heavy deer, under which he moved as if he were weightless. The trio dined on black coffee, sour-dough bread and an immense quantity of bear meat broiled over the coals. Old Pat says that his son knows .fining of "tha rottenness" of the fighting game, doesn't know the mean ing of "fake," and wants to be honest and clean in his fighting as he is by nature. Stubener sizes up young Pat as a white hope, and an Ironclad con tract is signed with the proviso that there won't be any "snide division of stake money, no secret arrangements with the movin' pitcher men for guar anteed distance." Old Pat says to his son, in farewell: "Play It square. Whatever you'll be doin', watch out for the women. Women is death an' dam nation, remember that. But when you do find the one, the only one. hang on to her. She'll be worth more than glory an' money. But first be sure, an" when you're sure, don't let her slip through your fingers. Grab her with the two hands of yours and hang on. Hang on. if all the world goes to smash an' smithereens. Pat. boy. a good wo man is . . . good woman. 'Tis the first word and the last." Observe the particulars" regarding the lighter's physical perfections. On page 13 his father's age is given as SI years, and on page 5. young Pat's age is given as 22 years. Thisi means that old Pat was 59 years old when his son was born. Speaking from a medi cal point of view, the father was rath er old to he the means of bringing into the world such a young Hercules. One wonders if Jack London would not wish now to revise his statement of the father's age? Not aware of the crookednnss of the prise ring, young Ulendon is taken by his manager to San Francisco, where he asks to be allowed to fight Jim Hanford. the big white hope and all around champion. Instead. Glendon is told to make a reputation as conqueror of smaller fry, and he. accordingly, beats Chub Collins, Rough House Kelly and the Flying Hutchman, all in short order. Glendon's favorite sleep producer was a rtght to tha Jaw in the first round. He was now known as "One Punch Glendon." Stubener or dered Glendon to make the fights of longer duration, to give the sporting public better value for their money, and Glendon obeyed. In his spare time Ulendon studies art, attends lectures on Browning and reads Shakespeare's sonnets. In his fights, he travels to Gold field, Denver, Texas. New York. Kngland. Australia, etc. So successful was he as a fighting machine, that sporting writers dubbed Ulendon as "abysmal brute." The most important incident In Glen don's life came when he was inter, viewed by Miss Maud Sangster, of the San Francisco Courier-Journal news paper. She was an aristocrat, and she insisted on doing as she pleased. She aud Glendon fall in love, but she as tonishes Glendon by asking if it were true that he had "sold" his light with Nat Powers, by stipulating that the fight would end in the 16th round. Stu bener had made the deal, and Glendon. who did not know it, is wild with rage at the "system" of betting. Miss Sang ster agrees not to publish the remark Bble interview the tighter gives her. Glendon fights honestly with Powers, but Powers "lies down" in the ltith round (as the "system" had arranged) and Is counted out. Glendon is furious. He storms the newspaper office where Miss Sangster is employed, persuades her that he at least Is a square tighter and by main force marries her. Their honeymoon is pictured In one of the best chapters of the novel. Glendon becomes a reformer as a ftghter (although he had no need to Us ii ii 7' :f s. reform personally) and his fights with Tom Cannam and Jim Hanford, in the Golden Gate Arena, San Krancisco well, they are the kernels of the story. To say what took place would not be fair. It is sufficient to remark that 25,000 people were present, and that the fights were strictly sensational. V. 1 V.'s Kyes, by Henry Pnydor Harrison. Illustrated. $1.35. Houghton, Mifflin Co., .Boston. When "Queed" appeared last season, hardened novel readers said, "What a. good story! Who is this new author, anyway?" Mr. Harrison won success as a first-class novelist at one bound, and he might if he were-a lazy man lean back on his oars and write a hurriedly composed, cheap novel, and trust to his name to secure big sales. Mr. Harrison lias done nothing of the sort. He took time to work out his new novel. He began it July 2. 1911, and finished it April S. 1913. and the result is a, finished, artistic product of beauty. It Is like a long lily twined around a column of pure white marble. It Is exquisite, both in its pathos and delicate humor, and its hint of tragedy casts a spell over the reader. Miss Carlisle Heth is a beautiful, self willed selfish young wordling, who is spoiled by too many young men falling in love with her or her money. They are not sure which. However, Miss Heth is the heroine of the novel, and al though she is so intellectually blind that she cannot see the social wrongs going on around her, and particularly in her father's tobacco factory the Heth Cheroot Works she possesses marked interest. Her opposite is the hero, V. Vivian, M. I., passionately at tached to the service of the public good, and her true star In every re spect. The trouble is. that she cannot see social wrongs, with his eyes and here we have the kernel of the novel. One powerful scene is where, in one disgusted moment. Miss lteth sails out to sea, somewhere off the Carolinas. or Virginia, probably, and encounters a swimmer. Jack Dalhousic. very drunk. He climbs aboard her boat, makes love to her. is repulsed, and while he swims ashore, never looking- back. Miss Heth's boat overturns, and she is rescued by Sunday Services in City Churches BAPTIST.

Browne & Co., Chlcaso. The author of this little book of sketches is the widow of the late General George E. Pickett, of the Con federate Army, and she presents it to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the battle of Gettysburg. The stories are filled with warm sentiment, are Southern in sympathy, to the core and are sure of an especially glad welcome from the Southern people and ex-Confederates of this section of the United States. Most of the stories are built around General George Pickett, the best story, "The Battle's Van," depict ing Pickett and his men at the Gettys burg. The stories have fiction style, with romance and love to beautify them. Mrs. Pickett says of this her offering: "I have put my whole soul into this work. It is the song of the dying swan. I have been living and breathing the atmosphere of it all, reading old letters written in camp and on the march, before and after the battle. The story is all true." The titles of the stories "Prologue, "Ashes of Glory." "Soldiers of Virgin ia," "The Voyagers," "Sailors' Rest," "Catherine," "Into the Heart of the Storm." "The Amber Path."

One feels, indeed, as if it were not Hebrew; such a, noble universality, different from noble patriotism or sectarianism, reigns in it. A noble book: ail men's book." Well has Dr. Sprague lived up to this distinction in making more popular, more suited to evervday uses this favorite book of the Bible. Dr. Sprague presents the poetic por tion of the Book of Job, verified, with due regard to the language of the authorized version, a closer adherence to the sense of the revised versions, and a more literal translation of the Hebrew original, with an introductory essay, advancing new views and ex planatory notes, in which many emi nent authorities are quoted. Dr. Sprague was" formerly professor in Cornell University, afterwards presi dent of the University of North Dako ta and lecturer -in Drew Theological Seminary and editor of many anno tated masterpieces of Chaucer, Shake speare. Milton. Goldsmith, Scott. Irv ing. Carlyle, etc. The table' of contents: the poetic structure: introductory essay: the per sons: the prologue: the poetic text: the epilogue: abbreviations; explanatory notes; bibliography, and the index of words and phrases. It is stated that as a means of gaining a true metrical form, a simple transposition of words lias often sufficed, and the explanation is made that iambics have been made the basis, but. as in some of the best Knglish poems, the verse glides easily into trichaic, or even into acty!lc or anapestic. "Into the discussion of many inter esting problems raised by the book we do not care to enter here," writes our author. "Such, among others, is the question of its authorship, its date. Its original unity: of suspected later edi tions, as the speeches of Klihu. the description of behemoth and leviathan. tne question of the missing third speech of Zophar and the possible dis location of passages. AVe may be par doned for boldness in making repeat edly a new suggestion explanatory of Job's manifest inconsistencies' and audacities, ax the text stands in the usual versions. It Is this: that in the midst of his terrible torture, his dis ease affects his brain, his reason gives way. dark aberrations alternate with lucid intervals. If the publication of tnis book shall contribute in even a small degree, to make this masterpiece (the Book of Job) more extensively read and more highly appreciated, the eouor win do well content." The pages are 243, and the index Is a voluminous and well-arranged one. The Southland, of South America, by Gecri Palmer Putnam. Illustrated. J2..10. G. P. Putnam's Sons, New York City. The intimate, friendly, personal note struck In this handsome-looking vol ume of -rambles and observations made In Central America, in 1912. lifts it from the beaten path of ordinary books or travel. It is both interesting and graphic, and has in its wealth of de scription that newspaper sense that is so attractive to the reading nubile. The illustrations are superb, number nearly 100. and about the best seen for artistic excellence, this season. Pan ama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras. Guatemala and other countries are finely mirrored. Mr. Palmer is a new paper man, and he dates his preface irom Hend, Or. The Land ef the Spirit, by Thomas Nelson rage. l.zu. illustrated.. Charles Scrtb ner's Eons, New York City. Here in this book of 257 pages we meet with six of Mr. Page's short stories: "The Stranger's Pew," "The Old Planters," "The Stable of the Inn. "The Shepherd Who Watched by Night." "The Bigot," "The Trick Doc tor" and "The Outcast." Some of these short stories reflect the South that our author so well understands, but all are superior in literary merit and emi nently readable. "The Shepherd Who Watched by Night" is the best written story has as its text the birth of Jesus, in a stable. The Catfish, bv Charles S. Ararrintr xl 3; The Bobba-Merrlll Co., Indianapolis, Iud. A bright English novel of 406 pages and many surprising situations. The hero is no laggard in love, for he has two sweethearts at the same time, The style of writing is old fashioned English rather than American, and would be helped with more conversa tion. One may describe this novel as a clever study In love. The Ambition of Mark Trultt, by Henry Bus- sen Miner. i.3o. The Boobs-Merrill Co., Indianapolis.

Lord Stamfordham is the succesor of Lord Knotlya as secretary to King George of Engrland. He Is almont unknown outside the immediate con fines of court and official circles In England. Unlike his three Immediate predecessors In office Lord Stamford ham does not belong- to what are popu larly known as the Court families. He is the scion of a country clergyman and may be said to owe his success in life to the start which was given htm by Empress Eugenie. He was appointed through her influence as an officer of artillery and was sent to South Africa, and It was he who was selected to bring back to England the remains of the Prince Imperial, son of the Em press. mm Cleonfonte Campantni, former gen eral musical director of the Chicago Grand Opera Company, and now gen eral manager of the company, has sailed for Europe.

Count Ladislaus Czechenyl, husband of the former Gladys Vanderbilt, is said to have lost more than $4,000,000 of late and is reported in sore straits. Rumors say that he has been a victim of a mining swindle in which he lost huge sums on the Budapest and Vienna bourses.

TANGO TEAJJECOMES RAGE lincros-l of lrls Aroused in Impor tation JYom Spain PARIS, May 31. (Special.) Paris, which, took only a feeble interest in ragr-tlme dances, hag gone mad over the tango. As a consequence tangro taa are all the rape anions g-ildcd youths and pretty Kirlx. who demand the biggest danoingr floors and the best orchestras to minister to the new passion. The tango is a semi 'Spanish affair, and capable of even more sensual in terpretations than the bunny-hug and other American importations which have shocked the Paris chaperone al most out of existence. As a rule, how ever, it is harmless enough, because it is so difficult that the attention of the dancers is entirely occupied in footing it correctly. L.ike the ras-time dances, it demands that partners shall be ac customed to danctnjr together, and so further as.ilsts In the breaking up of the old ballroom conventions. Tango teas are now organized in Paris on a large scale. It costs ?1 to get into some of them and nearly as much for tea once you are inside. The tea may be as bad as Fariuiaa tea usu MS it lr f 1 charts available. The captain's de fense is that when he arrived at Guan tanamo he was under rush orders from the Navy Department, and that all due precautions to avoid accidents were taken. He is the first dreadnought commander to be courtmartialed for any offense. He is a native of Texas and is'the only commander the Arkan sas has had since she went into com mission. ally is. but there is so little of it that the purchaser can scarcely judge. The Parisian "nut" and his pretty and ex-quisitely-dressed partner do not mind. They come to acquire even greater pro. ficiency in the tango and earn the ap proval of those who sit at, the little tables round the great room! MOVIES INJURE PLAYHOUSE Theater Folk in Berlin in Panic as Result of Invasion. BERLIN, May 31. (Special.) Berlin is in the throes of a financial panic over theater administration. Half 4 dozen playhouses have gone into bank, ruptcy during the last 90 days. A3 many more are notoriously on tha verge of a similar fate, and the mo tion picture craze is widely blamed foe the state of affairs. Practically only four stage attractions among the 30 or 40 now appealing for patronage in Greater Berlin are doing business in a profitable sense. The sole outstanding successes of the season are Max Kein hardt's production of Tolstoy's '"The Living Corpse" at the Deutsches Thea ter and Arthur Schnitzler's Viennese political problem play, "Professor Bernhardt.'" at the Klcines Theater. The Tolstoy piece is a record-break er even among Reinhardt's many tri umphs, as far as popularity Is con-i cerned. The play has made it almost unnecessary for the restless manager of the Deutsehes Theater to give hid public any other offering. It has been running for three months, will easily fill the house until the season's close In midsummer, and will undoubtedly ba revived in the Kali. The Schnitzler play at the Kleines Theater is a won derfully illuminating study of present- day political conditions in Austria, with the anti-Semitic note strongly empha sized. "Professor Bernhardt" rivals "The Living Corpse" as the play of tha year. "Majolica," the amusing satire on tha Kaiser's Cadinen pottery business at the Lustspirllliatiy, is another of the season's hits, and is in the midst of a Ion? run. BERNARD SHAW IS ACTOR Play-Writer, However, Is Interpreter AVlien It Comes to Italian. LONDON', May 21. (Special.) Ber nard Shaw Just now is telling a good story against himself and his knowl edge of Italian: "We were dining a party of English1 folk at a restaurant in Milau, and our waiter knew no language but his own. When the moment came to pay and rush for the train, we were unable to make him understand that we want ed not one bill, but 24 separate ones. "My friends insisted that 1 must know Italian, so, to act. as intcrprete I rarked my memory for chips from tha language of Uante but in vain. All ot a sudden a line from the opera The Huguenots' flashed to my brain; Ognuno per se: per tutti II ciel' (Everj( man for himself and heaven for all). "I declaimed it with triumphant sue. cess. The army of waiters wera doubled up with laucrhter; my friendd applauded wildly: and my fame as nq Italian scholar has been on the 1 crease ever since."
