i.v : -'nr. THEN OREGON DAILY JOXfeTAr PORTLAND. FRIDAY laTENTX 21, 1902. -:. i- -t- --.r.- J? . Sis. m r II Is a Wonderful Fighting Machine Physically Perfect, With an Abund anceof Nerve and Skill. OAKLAND, Nov. 21. FraKk Erne la one of ths llpe pkee f flghtlnr ma chinery that American pugilism baa de veloped. When his day has passed, aa the day of all athletes must, he will be among the few that ring: followers and xporting writers will hark back to, in making comparisons and passing Judg ment on the skill and ability of the flKht era who are yet to strive for the honors of. the ring. "The admirers of a good scrap will be saying then of the Buffalo lad us they do now of John and Jackson and Dempsey. Oh. but that was a greut left hook tuat he had. Kemember the fight with l'rns? He should never have lost that Wfnt out of his class to take him on; hail him beaten to a standstill and then got careless. No flirhters like the ones of. those days Corbett and John L. and Puz and Jeff and Dempsey and poor 'eter Jackson and Erne and George Dixon, they don't make boxers like them apy more." And so the talk will go on. There Is nothing to which Erne can be more aptly likened than that snappy, smart, small caliber rifle of modern navies. He is built on the principle of a "four-point, seven. That fitly describes him. To see him working in the gym of the club quick, shifty, tense, keen-eyed and every move showing a purpose one can think of nothing else that he is like except a beauty of a "14-pounder." IN PERFECT FETTLE. It Is Just three weeks today since Erne began training for his fight with "Jim mle" Britt, the Olympic's pride of the light-weight olass. If the battle were to be held tonight Frank would be readx f'ifcfcis-Wdrroa'TaTtfifuliy ' and iTlg cohdl- ' tlon could not be Improved. His wind la good, muscles elastic and his weight is at the point where he wants it. Rain or shine he Is out on the road following the route that Jeffries used to take back of the city to the Cemetery, then over I toward Piedmont and home to the club by way of Lake Merritt. Twice he makes that circle, morning and afternoon, and it's as good an IS miles as ever a railroad land agent measured. ST ST EM OF TRAINING. The Buffalo wonder has no fixed sys tem of training; In fact, he is most er ratic, 'today, for Instance, he lolled around In his dressing room after break fast until nearly 10 o'clock and then ..iade a start for the gym. After going through his paces for an hour and a half lie put on a s,ult of heavy clothes and started on a nine-mile run. Tomorrow he will probably reverse this order, or per- .juapa.cH.t-.aut tbs.-Syp), nIU.. th? after noon. " Boring during training Is particularly onres---txr Krne-nnd "It is seldom- that he can be induced to put on the gloves for that purpose. "Boxing, of course, is very good for a man In training." he says. V'but I have never found It neces sary and have kept away from it as much as possible. One always runs such a chance of hurting his hands In boxing before a fight that I think It best not to tuke 11." The gym work consists of shadow box ing a splendid exhibition of feinting, blocking, shifting, hooking and footwork, with an imaginary opponent, bag punch ing and light wrestling. Erne has the services of Ole Olsen, a husky youngster of the Reliance, for the last-mentioned pace, and despite the fact that the Swede Is at leajst 20 pounds heavier, the way i he is " jerked ' around and "" shoved and his bMd Sent back suggests that Britt will have something sis to look out (or besides the marvelous left book that has sent so many good men down to talcs the count. . . ERNE CAN MAKE 'WEIGHT. ? A well-known sDurtins man remarks ""t have heard stmie talk tfiat Erne" will hav grt difficulty: making US pounds at the ringside when he meets Jimmy Britt. Don't you aver pat any stock in thoas idle , rumors. Invariably they are sent out about a week, before a battle by men .interested In betting on the man tney are being--circulated about. I have been around booking on the different tracks of they' country, ' and a few days before prominent . racing events I have heard men' busily spreading rumors that horses were 'off' and so forth, but before the race those same, people were busy gettipg their coin op.' .It's the same with fights. Why. I expect in the next few days to hear that Jimmy Britt' s hands are liable to go back on him, when have been told that they are as sound ss Mtx can dollars. Take this for me that Li ne will make ' 15 pounds, and easily enough. ' TO TURN PROFESSIONAL. Spider Kelly's, Drgtege, the "Tooths pick'- has 'made' up his- mind to turn- professional'. ' He will be seen In one of lliu preliminaries on the night of the Erne-Britt contest. His opponent is as yet unknown. Conjecture has It that it may possibly be . ,Sam Burger, the Coast's heavyweight champion. However, the name . of his opponent has not yet been announced. HERRERA AND RYAN. Aurelio Herrera has been offered a match with Buddy Ryan of Chicago, to take place In that city on the 28th Inst. His manager has accepted the offer, pro vlding the club will set the date back one week, to allow Herrera ample time to train after reaching here. Ryan Is about the best 1'8-pound in the Middle West, and Benny Yanger and other good ones in that locality are side-stepping him with marked regularity. "ROUGH-HOUSE" CHARLEY. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 21. The ar rival of "Rough-House" Charley Bums In the city has stirred up considerable In terest In the match between him and Harry Foley, which takes place at the Acme Club on the 28th Inst. Burns got In yesterday afternoon from Chicago, where he has been fighting all classes and sizes as well. His last light there oc curred about two weeks ago with Buck Montgomery and was said by the fight critics of that city to have been the warmest kind of a mlxup. Fighting as frequently , as he has been the past few months lust now finds the Cincinnati need about 10 days work to finish up. and as he starts training at once the 28th will find him Just right for his ar gument with Mr. Foley. C. Wellington, as he Insists on being called, will do his training -at the blx- Mlle Hluse. Burns' fights with Matty Matthews, Tommy Ryan, Jack Moffatt, Charley McKeever, Owen Zelgler. Jack Bennett and others of that caliber stamps him as one of the toughest In his class. Burns points to his record with pride, and justly so, too, for he has met all the noted welter and middleweight in the business. Last winter, in Chicago, he accomplished something no other tighter .!- Hnne He won three flKhts In four nights, boxing on Friday. Saturday Jrlng to his friend! and Monday. He also won nine fights lTrt who have fought eight weeks. Foley will have the warm est Job he ever tackled when he faces Burns. Lyceum Athletic Clubs. The rivalry be tween th two is s keeu"gs ever, and tack is probably secretly hoping, the Vw club will go out of business, but the other day it was decided to split the dates, each giving shows on alternate Monday , nights. Later, . by s," flip' .9. . coin, the Lyceum won the privilege of feoldmr another show next 'Monday. nJglitT while the America will be left dark,: .The splitting of the dates was tba only thing possible under the circumstances, as a war between the two was inevitable, and such a war would have meant the exter mination of both clubs; it not of the fighting game in the lty. ZEIGLER PUT OUT. GREAT KALL8, Mont., Nov. 2L Ray Zelgler, who claims to be the champion of Washington, was knocked out in the tenth round here last night by Eddie Croak, the champion of lows. The fight was a fierce one. M'CLELLAN AND SULLIVAN. ST. LOUIS. Nov. 41.-Brooklyn Tommy Sullivan went down and out before Jack McClellan, of Pittsburg, in the 12th round here tonight. It was to have been a 20- round contest Both men were evenly matched and put up a good exhibition. iiuT-n 1 1 r Ml Jack root and ryan. KANSAS CITY. Nov. 21. Jack Root. of Chicago, and Tommy Ryan, of this city, have been matched for a 10-round go here on December 16. , DOBBS LOST DECISION. LONDON, Nov. 21. Bobby Dobbs, the American boy, met Jem Maloney last night for a purse of $1,700 and the cham pionship. -The men weighed in at 138 pounds. Dobbs was the favorite in the Letting, and for the first five rounds had the best of the fight. The local man dur ing the last part of the contest had the best of It, but Dobbs managed to stay the 20 rounds. He was plainly outclassed on points and Maloney was given the de cision. , VERY SLOW FIGHT. PHILADELPHIA, Nov. '21. Big Jim Jeffords and Jack McCormlck met last night at the Athletic Club In a six-round contest. The contest was very tame, and the crowd was disgusted. Jimmy Morrison Roasts the. Fighters Dab Fighters to Be Barred From Future Hatches Before the Seattle Club. MAYNARD AND CORBETT. PHILADELPHIA, Nov. a. Joe Macias, the manager of the l'enn Art Club, has obtained Young Corbett's signature to a set of articles, by which the champion agrees to meet Billy Maynard) the light weight champion of this city, in a six- round bout ut the above club on Novem ber 26. Young Corbett is to receive $S0o win, lose or draw us his share of the re ceipts. "VP";YANOER AND HERMAN. CHICAGO, Nov. 21. Benny Yanger has been matched with Kid Herman for the wind-up of the next America Athletic Club show on Monday. November 24. As the date of the America Club's shows are now changed, the Yanger-Dave Sul livan go will probably be set over till SEATTLE. Nov. 21. The sports here are all ripped up the Uu k over the ac tion of the principals In tin- Athletic Club contests of Tuesday night. Tommy Reilly, the lad who defeated Ben Them ble, will not fight Al Nelll in this city next month, or at leu.t not under the auspices of the Nortli western Athletic Club. The winner was to have fought Nelll here on the nllu of December 16. In fart, the articles cr-- all signed, both by Reilly and the California wonder. After the fight. Tremble and Reilly met In Morrison's saloon, on First avenue, to divide the proceeds. Mr. Morrison, felt he had been grievously insulted by the Kellly people when they refused to ac cept Jack Grant as referee, after propos ing htm. The manager contained himself until he had paid the lighters their share of the gate, and then Lidding them re main a moment, he opened the safe, took out the Rellly-Nelll articles, tore them into a thousand pieces anil threw them on the floor. Turnlint to Kellly and his manager, Frank Kelh, Morrison said: "You fellows have aieured for the last time under the auspires of the North western Athletic Club. You stumped yourselves as anything but square- sports by your conduct tonight. Why. d I you, you couldn t JiKlit for me If you 1 were the last Ma-hter In th worM Tliw whole bunch of you i are ungrateful und unsportsmanlike. I wouldn't give you a tight If I could make ilil.Ouu by It." "Veil, we can lljcht under someone else," suggested Reilly. "Fight and be d 1." said Morrison.. n,vn WT.''S'M Wr me; (Hats a" ; dnch." - 1 MORRISON 8 ROAST. I To the Times Mr. Morrison said: "Well, you can Just tell the.good pec ! pie of Seattle that I am through with those tin-horn sports and cheap lighters ' for all time to come. When 1 took hold i of the sport I did the Ix-st I could to Forbes at Chicago the other night when It was expected of htm. The cause has finally been ascertained. Abe made a foolish match. It Is an old saying that "a match 'weir made Is a match half won." But Abe .did not heed that adage. Jlve days before the date set for ttie light' he agreed to make US pounds ilngsld for Harry Forbes. After training- for three days' he realised it' would be impossible to do so. He. was therefore forced to spend two whole days in a Turkish bath With the result that he was weak as a kitten when he went Into the ring. Under the circumstance he made .a wonderful fight and showed beyond a doubt that at h)s nattn-al weight he Is the master of Harry Forbes In any kind of going or at any distance. Even In his weakened con dition Forbes could not defeat bin. It Is out of the .question for Abe to do anything under 122 pounds. "I would like to get a meeting with Forbes -at some higher weights," Attel said after the fight. "I thoueht when I offered Forbes the match at Z pounds that I could make It easily, hut the time was so short that I had to taks weaken. Ing means to make the figure. I made It and saved my forfeit, but my , left hand Was of little use to me. I could not shoot it out as straight as I usually do, but had to hook It all the time. This left me open to Forbes' left and 1 could not get away from It. I guess the dec. don was all right." j Forbes laughs at the Idea of giving any ! weight away to a man as gocd as Attel. He said: "It la true, as AttM says, that I have boxed featherwehrnts. but none of j them was as good as Attel. He Is too speedy a fellow. I consider I made a ; good match at 118 pounds ringside, for I know what a lot of trouble ringside weight Is for most fighters." POLO SEASON OPENS. RjtCINE. Wis., Nov. 21. The Western Polo Association, one of the strongest organizations of Its kind ever formed in this country, begins Its session here to night with a game between the Racine and Indianapolis teams. The reason Is to continue until the latter part of March. The cities embraced In the ..membership of the association are Racine. Wis . and Richmond. Elwood, Anderson, Miincle ami Indianapolis.

Alvie fans as having a better chance to de feat Yanger than any of the local boys who have met him for some time past. Herman is stronger than the average, and Is clever. He lacks the experience of Yanger. but his strength is believed to be sufficient to do the trick, accord- friends. Many of the boys Yanger have landed all right, but none of them has had the steam to put the Italian away. Herman thinks he has the requisite steam. TEACHERS AT RED WING.

WHY ABE ATTEL LOST TO FORBES Reduced Weight by Turkish Bath Route and Was Weak. PEACE IS DECLARED. CHICAGO, Nov. 21. Peace has been de clared between the two rival fight organi sations of Chicago, the American and the '1 ne little folks love Dr. Wood's Norway ; Pine Syrup. Pleasant to take; perfectly harmless. Positive cure for coughs, colds, bronchitis, asthma. ' Many of the friends of Abe Atfel have wondered why he did not win over Marry George H. Davis of New York, who owns the horse Bounteous, which was raced at the Kenllworth meeting and failed to deliver the goods. Is no racing at Aqueduct. Bounteous can't win there, either, and the people who have backed the nag. to their sorrow, have. It is said, threatened to kill Mr. Davis. The latter, however. In order to appease their anger, has offered to hold a public execution of the animal and Invite the dissatisfied bet tors to the sctthe. Davis has been the recipient of Minus- j ands of letters of complaint, and the f I - I lowing is a sample: "We are looking for a horse suitable to draw a light junk wagon. Do you know of an animal of this kind that you 1 think would aimwer our purpose? We do not want a racehorse, or even a fast one. ; Some one suggested Bounteous, and as I he would .fill the requirements fur speed, j I thought lweuld : Vrtte you.- Of couTbjj.T the. price would have- to. b very low l - iulu it an object." . ., But here is Davis' proposition, sug- i gestlng the execution: "TO my friends ajid horse gamblers at j large: "Being In receipt of about a thousand letters so far today, inquiring as to the j race run by my horse Bounteous yes- ' tetday. 1 cannot Mud time to answer them separately, so Issue this statement for the benefit of all. j "I wish to say that I have ordered the 1 trainer of said horse to have him placed ' In a vacant lot adjoining my stable, aiid ; a day will be set for his execution, to j which ail of you are Invited.
