- BY HARRY B. BMITH.
BAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 24. (Special.)
A whole lot of people in California
Interested in sporting events in gen
eral and boxing in particular, are ask
ing themselves what is likely to be
the outcome of the vote that is to be
taken next month on the proposition
of whether the fighting game is to be
permitted to continue. Sporting men
generally are inclined to admic that
ifs toss and go as to whether the
measure will pass.
On the abstract proposition of box
ing or no boxing, it is likely that Cal
ifornia would be dead against the
lame.
There are so many other amendments
to the boxing measure, however, that
It is possible the anti-fight crowd will
overlook the measure. There Is a
chance that the anti-fight people will
tire of voting on amendments, many of
which they cannot understand, and
will fall to register an opinion. If
that is the case, the game has a chance
to exist. Ifs rather a poor support for
boxing, but that's the way the situ
ation Bizes up.
As one fellow tersely explained mat
ters, "If people forget to vote, boxing
may continue."
Complete annihilation of the profes
sional game is bespoken by this amend
ment, and if it passes, nothing but the
Bimon pure amateur article, supported
by such clubs as the Olympic, will be
allowed to exist. Possibly, should
such a measure go Into effect, at some
future time, the bars would be let
down to the extent of permitting 10
round, no-decision bouts, but it would
be unlikely that California would, ever
again see the full 20-round game in
swing.
The knockout Gunboat Smith suf
fered the other night at the hands of
Sam Langford, would indicate that
Jim Buckley's heavyweight prospect
has gone by the boards, and is no long
er to be considered ae formidable. Not
so many months ago Smith met Lang
ford in a Boston ring and took the
honors over 12 rounds. At that time
It was popularly supposed the black
ma.i had passed from among the active
contenders, and Smith was hailed as a
real champion.
Later Buckley took his protege to
England, where he lost on a foul to
Oeorges Carpentier. Since his return
to this country, the Gunner has had a
number of unsatisfactory matches. He
boxed Cyclone Johnny Thompson, who
was never considered much, and in that
match hurt his hands. Smith went
through with an engagement against
Battling Levinsky and was beaten, as
he explained, because his hands were
not in shape.
Possibly he will have something of
a similar alibi in the present instance,
but it is not likely that it will count.
It will be a crushing blow to Jim
Buckley, who fondly imagined that he
had in line a coming champion of the
world, incidentally, that honor would
have meant far more to Buckley than
the dollars And cents involved.
Jimmy Clabby. who arrived the mid
die of the week, and George Chip, who
reached San Francisco the last of this
week, are in full swing for their mid
dleweight bout, which is scheduled
by Sunshine Jim Coffroth for Novem
ber 6.
Chip was obliged to give way on the
weight proposition, and will do 158
pounds at 6 o'clock the afternoon of
the battle. As matters stand, he will
be five or six pounds heavier than
Clabby.
The bout has started a lot of gossip.
Chip's tlast showing against Fighting
.tsuiy Murray added to his list of ad
mirers, and there are a lot of people
wno ngure tnat he will beat Clabby
just as soon as he can lay a punch on
me elusive Jimmy.
By having the match Ret for VnvTi
ber 6, Coffroth has all the time in the
world to work up a world of interest
end there Isn't any question but that
ine contest will draw well.
If Clabby can win over Chip, he will
be permitted to hang out his shingle
as the middleweight champion of the
worm.
w e ve got a negro heavyweight in
fcan rrancisco who is stirring up
things, and if Coffroth can arrange
a match against Sam Langford, as he
Is endeavoring to do, it will create all
sorts of talk.. The newcomer is Harry
Wills. Ho is a long, lanky, rangy negro
from New Orleans with very much of a
record. His start here was against
mie --vieenan in the lour-round came.
and he has been cleaning up the boys
ever since.
Tom McMahon, the heavyweight, who
is in the Dime stable, would be a good
four-round card, and he's about the
oniy one left.
Wills has been against good men,
ooxing 10 - round no - decision affairs
v.itn bam Langford and Joe Jeannette.
Ray Bronson's llsrhtweiarht. Milbnrn
Saylor, was a decided disappointment
in hid 20-round contest the other night
"finsi Jiaaie Moy. Saylor had been
L"UIi as a wonderful Bluetrer. How
ever, his slusrsrincr ninnriv i tviiw

He missed a mllllnn avlnn an A f-
tainly Was never entitlArl to mnt-Attinn
the draw verdict he received at the
uaiius or Kereree Jim Griffin.
Even Bronson had admitted that Say
mas noeiuuy weak.
Ralph Gruman is to start shortly In
viKiana. Manager Harry Foley has
signed his lightweight n i;.
round contest before the West Oak
land club the latter part of the month
against Willie Fltztlmmons.
Fitzsimmons is a fai,-ly fast boy, al
though not particularly dangerous, and
Ivalph ought to have no great trouble
In winning.
The little Portlander recently under
went an operation on his nose to im
prove his breathing, and Folev figures
that will make a decided difference
with his boxing the next time he starts.
Hats.
(Washington Star.)
"A Mexican takes great pride In his
hat and pays a big price for one."
"Yes." replied Mr. Growcher; "but the
Mexican Idea of humor is different. In
that country a man is permitted to
wear the same hat the year round."
A Colorado mining company recently

Harness Notes
FTER one of the moat successful
seasons of greatest races ever held
in the Northwest, many of the race
horses have been shipped to their va
rious Winter quarters, excepting; a few
who left for the Southern California
circuit. Ovida, owned by Hamilton
Bros., of Sugar City, Idaho, and driven
by "Warren Dennis, was one of the
stars of the Northwest In 1914 by vir
tue of his paced mile, 2:05, at North
Yakima Fair. Ovida Is racing at
Phoenix, Ariz.
Henry Helman went to his training
camp at Salinas. Cal.. with his regular
racers, which appeared In the North
western circuit. Besides them he took
along a. Portland horse, Mark Fitz
Simmons. Fred Ward, with Great
Northern, Dr. Wayo, Bernie, three
horses belonging to Andrew Porter, of
this city, is at Phoenix, Ariz.
Fred T. Merrill has fitted his own

A stable of runners headed by Tony

Northwest for the season just ended.
Hal Boy paced the fastest third heat
ever paced in the Northwest. 2:06 flat,
at the Washington state Fair.
...
J. C. Carson was going to take hi
stable to tram In California, but h
was in Canada when the European wa
broke out and In order to get out of
the country he had to put up a $50,000
cash bond. The bond extended over a
period of 60 days, so Carson left for
Winnipeg to make his headquarters tor
the Winter.
v
Hal B. 2:04, considered to be the
retesv facing stallion, in, the- world, is
2:05.
in Columbus, O. His sale was a great
oss to the horsemen of the Northwest.
Bondsman, another famous stallion, is
beinj? shipped, to the Old Glory sale
in New York, which takes place some
time next month.
m
At Fleasanton, Cal-, Lou and Marvin

FAN'S SILEXT AT GUX MATCH
No Word Spoken to Perturb Rival
liooter When lis Is Winning.
DAYTON, O., Oct. 24. (Special.)
The thing that most impresses the
football enthusiast and the baseball fan
when be first visits a clay bird match
is the sportsmanlike and gentlemanly
attitude of the spectators to opposing
shooters.
The visiting shooters might be ever
lastingly putting it over the home club,
or the out-of-town crack might be
beating the local man to a standstill,
but never a word Is spoken to perturb
either contestant. When the last shot
has been fired and the winner or win
ners announced, applause is permitted,
and if the match be an important one,
gun bugs show themselves generous in
their applause regardless of whether
the outcome Is to their liking or not.
On the part of the shooter, it is an un
written law of the sport that the loser
be the first to congratulate his rival,
an informal ceremony that takes place
as soon as the result is known and in
the presence of the spectators.
Another courtesy tnat causes a lot oz
favorable comment is the rule that no
shooter leave the firing line until the
last man in the squad has fired his
final shot and the result is given.
NTEREST SET OH GAME
CALIFORNIA EXCITED OVER CON
TEST WITH STANFORD.
Jack Smith, of Aatorla, and Pan Fos
ter, of Portland, Stand Chance to
Make State Varsity Sqnad.
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, Oct.
24. (Special.) The one most lmpor
tant thing now to 5000 and more stu
dents on this campus, and a goodly
number at Stanford, and even to
great number of residents In the state
at laree. is "the big game" to take
place between the rival universities of
Stanford and Calliornia on govern Der
14. With the world s series decided,
and the war drawing out into a monot
ony, California turns once mow to th
prospects for the Harvard-Yale gam
of the West.
The game this year Is to be played
on California c laid, wnicn nas Deen
covered with a turf that presents
marked contrast to the field of other
years. The last contest played on the
field was two years ago, and the mud
was two feet deep, so deep. In fact
that after several --minutes the rival
players were unable to distinguish
their own men.
California University chances are
conceded to be much better than they
were a month ago: From a bunch of
novices, second string men. and gen
erally discouraged players, Coach
Jimmy Schaeffer has built a machine
which, while not the powerful body of
other years, yet may develop Into
something nearly as good.
A recent cut in the varsity squad of
California leaves two Oregon men
among the 37 remaining. Jack Smith,
of Astoria, and Dan oster, of Port
land, both - sophomores registered
natural science. Both are athletes
Oregon fame, both have played with
the first varsity in their games against
the Olympic and Barbarian clubs, and
both stand a, good chance of being of
the 15 who are pitted against the Car
dlnal next month.
Obsolescence in Modern Industry,
(Review of Reviews.)
Obsolescence is very severe, as pur
chasers of bicycles in the nineties and
purchasers of automobiles in the last 15
years have discovered, and what Is true
of bicycles and automobiles compared
to the older wheelbarrows and buggies
Is to a. large degree true of modern
railroad equipment compared to the old
er equipment.
Roadbeds do not wear out any more,
they are realigned with grade rev
sions: ties do not gradually decay, they
are cut to pieces by the heavy traffi
rails do not last their life, they are dis
placed by heavier sections; stations d
not wear out. they have to be torn down
to make way for palatial structures
roundhouses are scrapped because elec
trical equipment hat come in; locomo
tives used to last 50 years, the average
age of locomotives in actual freigh
service now is not over 10 years; wood
en passenger cars make way for steel
cars. A 2 per cent assessment made
once used to be sufficient for deprecia
tlon. It is a question whether Z pe
cent a year will take care of modern
obsolescence.

T HOSE who know anything of He-
X brew history are not at all sur
prised at the bravery and gallantry dis
played by the Jews who are now serv
ing their countries on European battle
fields. Palestine was the Belgium of
the ancient world, surrounded by vast
and powerful empires, and everyone
knows what devoted heroism the Jews
manifested in defending their country,
cgainst their foes. General Flavius S.
Titus, with all his Roman legions and
machinery of warfare, found the Beige of
Jerusalem the hardest Job he had ever
tackled, and, while defending their city,
the Jews found time to fight among
themselves.
The Russian army comprises a large
percentage of Hebrews, and. in spite of
the persecution to which they have
been subjected in the Czar's country,
the Jews are reported to be among the
best of the Muscovite troops. The
armies of England contain many He
brews, and the same Is true of the
American army. Of the 17 soldiers
killed at Vera Cruz, two were Jews.
Another great Jewish pugilist, a eon
temporary of Mendoza, was Isaac Bit
ton, a giant in stature, who weighed
240 pounds in his ring clothes. Bitton
whipped some of the best men of his
time, but he lacked Mendoza's clever
ness' and generalship and never held
the championship.
In the pugilistic arena as well as on
the battlefield, the Jews have won fame
as fighters. The cleverest and most
scientific of the early pugilists of Eng
land was Daniel Mendoza. a Spanish
English Vew, to whom Thackeray re
ferred as "that fighting member of a
fighting race."
Daniel Mendoza wa the first Jew to
attain prominence in the ring. He was
born in London in 1TS4, and. although
lighter In weight than most of the
heavy-weights of his time, he fought
his way to the championship of Eng
land. His ring work was a revelation
to the fans, who hailed him as the
father of scientific fistic fighting. The
ring had fallen into direpute. and al
most Into oblivion, when Mendoza ap
peared, and to him belonged much of
v.
