In one of th hardest, toughest 'fend fiercest fights ever pulled off on the P ' elflc Coast, Joe Walcott, champion welt 4rwetght.of the world, and Young Peter ' Jackson, battled for 20 long round to a draw,' last night "at Exposition Hall. i The decision could have -been given to i Jackson, aa In the 'last three rounds 7 Walcott hugged his opponent the entire time, slmp'y stalling In oiCer to save ; himself from a knockout, while Jackson was in the finest possible condition, not ' being disturbed In the least, and capable of administering with every punch. It Is safe to say that had the fight gone a few more rounds, Jackson would . undoubtedly have put Joe Walcott to sleep, as the champion was weakening rapidly, while ' Jackson was getting Stronger every breath. During th arlv oart of the contest. In fact until the eighth round, Walcott had things all his own way. but in this round Jack on appeared to display more confidence Hnd bore in on the champion witn ten log effect, the body blows, especially hurting Walcott The ninth round fa vored Walcott. but in the tenth .and eleventh rounds Jackson received tre mendous applause for the clever man tier- In which he- Jofted -Walcott's Jaw, almost 'Staggering him under the torrent of blows. In the twelfth round Walcott became enraged and In a loud voice, dispensed considerable profanity at his opponent that would not appear well In print After the crowd heard Walcott's foul tnutterlngs, the applause and attention that had been going to the champion were transferred to Jackson, and re mained with him' to the finish. A Qreat righttr. Jackson proved himself to be a great fighter, ready at all times to defend and block and still more ready to land blow. His systematic boring in on Walcott's stomach did the trick, the champion being unable to prevent It Walcott's blows, while fast and hard, did not strike a vulnerable point at any time, and at no stage of the entire game was Jackson worried or winded In the leaat. It was a fight worth going miles -to see and the crowd enjoyed it. Jackson thought that he should have had the decision. Inasmuch as he had " Walcott "hanging on to him during the q last three rounds. Walcott was so badly used up after the .bout that he staggered to his corner, where he re mained for some time before being as aisted to his dressing room. The crowd noticed that the grin which Walcott wore during the early rounds, had en tlrely disappeared after Jackson began his deadly work. After the contest .was at an end. Jack son did not bear a scratch to show that , he had been .. fighting the champion, wnue on me otner nana walcott was bruised considerably on the face and body. Challenges the World. . Today Jackson visited The Journal sporting editor and stated that he would box any man in the world barring Jeff ries for a decision. It is likely that Jackson will be given the go with Billy Woods in San Francisco next month, aa Alec Oreggains said that if he would make a good showing he would give him the preference. - Last night's contest ranked Jackson high on the ladder of pugilism and It will take a good man to defeat him. The Journal's prediction was fulfilled, and one more round would have put a quietus on Mr. Walcott. The - Preliminary. Mike Mems'lc of Chicago got the de cision over Willie Snailham in the ninth round of a good go, the latter's seconds tossing up the sponge. Memsic started out 'as though he could whip the Frls- .colte In 10 rounds, but the grit of Snailham asserted itself and the gamey lad lasted until the ninth.

There were all sorts of sensations at The Meadows yesterday afternoon. These Included the winning of a II to I shot, a big spill In -the hurdle handicap and the reinstatement of Starter Mulholland. The sports In attendance had to but name the particular brand of thrill desired. and It was banded out and no questions asked. . it was officially announced that Mul hoi land had explained, in a manner sat isfactory to the officials of the asso elation, . his connection with the Met' laka-la race and that he had been re spectfully requested to again assume the duties of starter. This he reluctantly consented to do after being assured that no small portion or ine success ot me meeting depended on his doing so, Nothing was said In reference to the depleted bank rolls of the two books nut out of business by reason of Met- lakatla's win. The long shot that came home was rictms, in the four-furlong dash for three-year-olds. Some lady in the stand had a hot tip on the horse and handed it around among a doxen or so of her fair acquaintances, - Outside of the play from this quarter there were but few tickets cashed on the good thing. Bookies Kit Hard. The bookies ' were hit hard in the first race, when a Rood of money came In on Mystery Pride. The horse waa played down from 8 to 1 to 2 to 1 and even at the laat-named figure there were several thousand dollars wagered on the horse. Just after the field had passed the stand the first time In the hurdle handi cap, Jim Boxeman. ridden by J. Bennett, bolted and took the six-foot fence on the outside of the track. He did not clear as he went over, and took a cropper which landed him on the bark of his neck on the other side. Bennett was thrown clear and landed on hra head 15 feet away. Beyound a rather severe shaking up neither the horse or his rider was any the worse for the spill..

LOS ANGELES, Cal., June 18. The Portland Brown lost yesterday's game through1 their Inability to hit "Dolly" Oray. George Engle was on the slab for the visitors, and was an easy mark for the Los Angeles sluggers, who secured fifteen safe hits off his delivery. The game was decidedly tame, along side the brilliant work of both teams the day before. Josh Rellly, who Is filling in at third for the visitors,-while Jay Andrews is on the hospital list, played a remarkable game, and his work and that of Joe Raldy . at short were' the redeeming features of the game. Van Buren'a catch of a long fly In center and the batting and fielding of Dummy Hoy and Ross of the locals, also contributed to enlivening the spir its of the spectators. Dolly Oray pitched a remarkable game. He had the Northerners at his mercy throughout the game, and had he received aa good support in the field as was accorded Engle he would have shut them- out. Jimmy Toman made two wild throws n the sixth Inning, allowing the Browna to score "two runs after two were out. The visitors' only error Is chalked up againat Pitcher Engle, who threw wild to third in an- attempt to start a double play. Three of the four basea on balls, pre sented to Dillon's men by Engle, resulted in runs. Joe Kostal, or the new man Hogg, will pitch for Portland today, while "Doc" Newton will be on the slab for Morley'a men. Sammy Vlgneux haa made a host of friends in this city by his genial ways, nd the gentlemanly conduct of ' the members of his team. The score: LOS ANGELES. A. B R. H.P.O. Hoy, c. f Wheeler. 2b. . ..

Even a lit tle more so than is usually found when 2,000 people assemble under one roof to see human beings go into a roped arena and make battering rams of them selves. Now and then a shrill cry came from some enthusiast who dangled his ,ifeet from the iron girders which brace the building 60 feet ' from the floor. Coarse language was remarkably absent. It Is possible that the presence of sev eral "ladles" kept the vulgar element in check. . One white woman gaxed down 1 on the canvas from the corner of, tho 'i gallery while on. the other side of the house several damsels of an ebony com plexion waved their handkerchiefs and 1 screamed with delight whenever either colored gladiator landed a resounding hack on the abdomen of his opponent or .ut a straight shoulder punch any where on the other's anatomy. Sport Was Tine. But the 2,000 liked the sport and for got' all about the "ladies" long before the gong ordered the principals to cease punching at the end of the twen- . tieth round. Cheer after cheer encour aged Jackson after the tenth round, All sympathy seemed to swing to him with the rapidity of his uuk-k blows. "Go In Peter and put him out" was the sentiment shouted from every nook of the .big building and when he nearly succeeded in obeying the mandate of tho , ' crowd, he was cheered to the echo. The crowd was satisfied. The 2,000 left the hall with the picture in their minds and the white woman was es corted away to tell hef etory to those who- may listen. The ebonr damsels were proud of being there and know more about pugilism 'than they did be fore. -? r ' ' " , Front : a financial point of view the exhibition was successful, . which goeti a long way. towards giving satisfaction. to the management as well as making -the crowd feel that they had part ot V1 good thing themselves. . . "; :. Ah Wing Hoat.WUey.:';" ,The first preliminary go, between Ed Wiley of Portland and Ah Wing, a Chi nese boy from San Francisco, was in tended to- put the audience In a rood humor, and answered that purpose ad mirably. Never were more mirth-pro voking efforts at fisticuffs seen in Port' land. Nor was the Chinese lad the easy mark that many had expected. Al though the fight was clearly, not one for blood.' the Oriental pummeled his op ponent about the head and face with ease and rapidity, and the maKe-Deiieve knockout secured by the Mongolian was Just what 'the crowd wanted to put the finishing touches on a rattling farce. The men entered the ring at 8:60 and were roundly cheered. McLean of San Francisco refereed. The Chinese boy, his brown skin shln- ng beneath the lamplight and his queue tightly coiled about hla otherwise shaven Head, was the center of all eyes. The sympathy of the crowd was with him from the start, and the laughter began almost with the first blow. Go to him, Chink!" "Lam It to him, China boy!" "Punch It into him!" "Bat ter; him,. Mongolia!" These and other words of encouragement were . hurled across the ropes to tne little Drown man. Ft At Xarlem. CHICAGO, June 18.

Umpire Levy. (Journal Special Service.) BUTTE.. Mont.. June 19 William Hardee, who waa under sentence to be hanged here June 26, but wild escaped Jail June 6 In company with four other convicts, named McKlnney, Fierce ana Brown, was shot and killed last night at a point 76 miles southeast or uias gow. Hardee was a desperate criminal, having been convicted of killing Charles Snearly near Culberson, In September, 1901. Since June 6 posses have been on the trail of the escaped convicts and suc ceeded in canturing Jack Brown and Pierce. McKlnney and Hardee eluded the man-hunters until last night, when It was ascertained that the desperate men were In the brush not far from the roadside over which the posse was trailing. Suddenly' a shot rang out from the - underbrush - and Charles R. Hill, one of the posse fell dead. Then came a fusilade of shots, with the fugitives having the best of the position, as they were under cover. However, the other members of the pur suing party fortunately escaped the fire of the murderers. When darkness came on the posse went into camp and sta tioned a guard around the clump of timber and brush, where the despera does were supposed to be. When day light came and no shots came from the guarded spot, a careful search was made and the dead body of Hardee was found lying face downward In a dense growth of brush. He had been shot through the bowels and evidently died In great agony within two hours after having been hit by his pursuers' bullets. McKlnney had escaped, and It Is be lieved he has taken the trail for a point further down the Missouri River. Har dee'a body will be brought to this city. So soon as It became known that Har dee had been killed and that Hill, a member of the posse had also lost his life, a crowd of men went to the Jail at Glasgow and, taking Brown, one of the men who had escaped with Hardee, from the Jailer, they hanged him from a window of the prison. SherlfT Cosner left this morning with another posse, and it is expected that McKlnney will soon be captured. Committee Effects Great'SaV . Ingln Question -bf.Munici-pal Lighting." Portland's street lighting will not cost the taxpayers as much this year as It did last season. The lighting com mittee of the Executive Board met yes terday evening and awarded the con tract to the Portland General Electric Company at a material reduction from flast year's figures, which will aggre gate, all told, several thousand dollars. The recommendation of the lighting committee will be passed upon at the next session of the Executive-Board. Tho contract, as arranged, calls for 850 street are lights, and these are to be maintained at a cost of 84.500 per month, or a total cost of 864,000 for the 12 months. It Is provided that all lights in addition to these are to be main tained at a cost of 85.30 each per month, which la a reduction of 24 cents a month from last year's cost. In the item of providing lights for the public buildings, the City Hall, city Jail, fire department station ana ptiD llc crematory, the company will be paid a flat sum of 82,000 a year. Arranging Tor rerrytoat The committee appointed by Mayor Williams to handle the Bell wood ferry boat proposition., consisting of Edward r. Curtis. Joseph Wehber and Joseph NIckum. have the details of the business so well in hsnd that they fig ured on the ferry being in operation within six month at the latest. A ses sion will be held Monday evening to elect officers. . . There will bfi no delay In the work, now that It has started, according to the members of the committee. The Issue of bonds to the extcnt.of 316.000. which will be necesssry to cover the expenses of the Improvement, will be made at once and while they are being disposed of the approaches for the ferry will be located and many other minor details completed. The bonds will be issued in denomi nations of 8100 and 81,000 and will draw Interest at the rate of 8 per cent, as provided in the ferry act. It has been decided that no Dlds or less man I100 will be considered. After the cash la in the hands of the treasure the contractor or contractor caa go ahead with the actual construction of the ferrv and necessary adjuncts. No de cision has been reached as yet as to what style of boat Is desired. Steoord License Quarter. So far this quarter.

At any drug store, 60c The Monograms and the Schillers, the two best teams in Portland, will cross bats Sunday on the baseball grounds at Twenty-fourth, arid Vaughn in what promises to be one of the best games in the Interstate League this season. The teams are very evenly matched and are out for blood, as the team that wins the game will take second place In the League and as these'two teams met once before and the Schillers won in a 3 to 2 game the Monograms are going to try and regain their lost laurels and re tain second place in the League whicli they are now holding. All the clubs In the Interstate League are putting up good baseball and there is considerable Interest taken In the games by Vancouver and Oregon City people who turn out 600 and 600 strong every Sunday to toot for their clubs. Vancouver Is now leading the League and has a very strong team and is wclL supported by the people across the Co lombia and have only been beaten onc? so far this season In the 'Interstate League, tho Monograms doing the trick. The Schillers have strengthened . their team with Stutt, Rankin, Slebles and Hynes and with these strong players In the game should have no trouble in downing the Monogram?, but the latter team are hard losers and fight until tho last inning for the game and have won out many a jime by a batting streak in, the ninth inning. Those wending their way to the Twenty-fourth Street Grounds Sunday can rent assured they will see some good ball playing by some of the best talent available in Portland. Jett and White May Never Fay Penalty tor Crime ot Jviur dering Marcum, (Journal Special Service.) JACKSON, Ky.. June 19. Curtlss Jett and Thomas White, charged with the murder of J. B. Maroum, will probably never be punished for their crime. As waa expected here, the Jury which has just tried them failed to agree after an all-afternoon debate, and returned a hung verdict last night. ' They were again Instructed by the court and re turned to their rooms, but with the apparent conviction that they could not agree. It is understood that two men only hung out for acquittal and that the other 10 men were In favor of convic tion. Thts morning it was announced that the Jury wanted to enter court. On filing in and taking their seats the fore man at once stated that they had failed to agree and thereupon asked for dis charge, which was accorded. Although the case will not end here, It is believed that conviction cannot be secured, for the reason that another witness lor" the state such as B. J, Ewen cannot be found again. Mr. Kwen moved to Lexington after his hotel was burned suoject to his having testified against the accused. All day yesterday business was prac tically suspended and today It Is hardly pofslblo to determine whether' tho dis agreement has caused more disappoint ment or more delight. The Hurgis fac tion Is jubilant and Is celebrating tlio event. r. Sodrrs Gives State 1908 Talr Commissioners Pretty Copies of Their Boles a&A By-laws. G. F.

That the Sultan: Has Abdicated Is Looked' Upon with Sus picion, Although' Trouble Is Believed to Exist, (Journal Special Service.) LONDON, June 19. Reporta from Belgrade today states that the Turk ish revolution .and the Sultan's abdica tion cannot be confirmed in diplomatic circles there. An official just arrived from Turkey says he doubts if the revo lutionary movement is so far advanced, though he believes such a step .cannot - be long delayed. Tliere Is no question among officials but that a satisfactory state of affairs exists at present, but ' on account of the rigid censorship en forced by the Sultan little real news Is permitted to reach the outside world. Constant stories Indicate great ten--sion. Saturday' Tageblatt story, that the Albanian trorips had risen to a fight in the courtyard pf the Sultan's palace coupled with f Tuesday's dispatches of the rising In Arabia due to excessive taxation and the seisure of the Gov-' ernor, all tend to confirm the predic tions of an uprising is either on. or Im minent.
