: There's scarcely one man in ten thou
sand who bets on horse races "who hasn't
a. story of. how he Won a lot-of , money
L. "once upon a time" on a queer tip., Race
goers- are a queer . lot Judgment; good
information, form and 'everything else
will 'be thrown. aside, at times in favor
of what' vulgarly is called ; a . 'Viunoh."
The highest and the lowest, are subject
to the mysterious - Influence of the
. '.'hUnch.'Y It affects W. C. Whitney a
. strongly as it does the negro stable boy.
..Probably one of the strangest tips on
record was that a prominent actor got
when he . was playing in Chicago. It
was In the. days of the Roby track. He
had .an' engagement to take one of the
women - of ; the Company to the - races.
' Ot course, she was late. Women always
are, They missed the last roce train
and- were, about to leave the station
when the !actress suggested that he in
quire if there wasn't some other, train
by which they, could reach the track. .
,?'Well." said an attendant, "there's a
funeral train going to the cemetery near
the Roby track. : I don't think the mourn
ers would take you sports along If they
knew -It, but maybe you could ride in
the baggage car with' the .coffin If the
lady doesn't object."
, The actress had the racing fever bad
.enough to do - anything, and the two
players made the Journey to the (rack
seated on the coffla-- They arrived In
time for. the third race. Bad kick at
tended them. They lost on that race
ana tney lost on the lourtn.. men we
.horse they bet on in the fifth fell. When
they reached the' track the actor ;,had
. $100 and. the woman t45. Of tints- only
J20 remained. They were desperate. In
looking over the entries for . the . last
race the woman saw the name Hearse.
They had never heard of the horse before.''-'.
". . ' , .
"There's our funeral tip," the woman
cried to the actor.,, "Let's play htm for
all we've got" .
' They did. Hearse was at 20 to 1 and
won. It was one of the few times the
skate ever did win. '.,.- .
' A prominent Englishman tells of some
strange tips that have come under his
personal observation. ,. A lighted match
carelessly thrown Into a.hush of furxe
on Epsom Downs some years ago. he
says, put 2,000 Into the pockets of three
men. The match set the f urse on Are,
causing, as one of the three sportsmen
remarked, "a regular blase." Hardly
were the words out of his mouth than
It struck- Kim as coincidental that St.
Blaise wss the name of one of the can
didates for the blue ribbon. He sug
gested putting some money on the horse,
and his two friends Jumped at the idea.
The fact that St. Blaise was a rank
outsider and stood at 50 tcHhagalnst did
not deter them, , which was lucky, ;f or
St. Blaise got home first, thus winning
for one of the plungers 1,000, and 500
each for. his two friends. : ;
-' Memory gave William ' Redmond. M.
P.; a splendid tip one day a year or
two ago, and the fact served to console
mm ror tns unpleasant incioem wmcn
had bestirred his memory. , He was just
leaving the- House of Commons, after
being "suspended," when It occurred: to
him that the last .time he had been sus
pended he had 'O'Donovan, Rossa for a
companion. It also occurred to him that
next day at Goodwood a horse darned
O'Donovan Rossa .was to race for the
Stewards' cup. Taking into considera
tion that the horse was a 60 to I chance,
he cautiously laid a single sovereign on
O'Donovan Rossa. He probably was as
' much surprised as pleased when he heard
the nest day that his memory had grven
him "the straight tip."
A Mr. Forth, who died recently, leav
ing a handsome fortune of more than
$166,000, turned the corner in his career
by acting 1 upon an idea suggested to
his mind by a singular coincidence. At
that time he was the manager of a small
Lambeth public house, and, despite his
environment he had never been led into
betting. One day, however, while serv
ing ill his bar, he heard his customers
discussing the forthcoming Derby, and
was gradually drawn Into the conversa
tion, during 'which he learned mat one
of the horses entered for the 'race bore
the same name as himself Frederick,
his Christian name. This interested him
so much that he watched the papers
to see how tils namesake rose and fell
In the betting. But he never for a mo
ment dreamed of backing it until the day
before the race was to be run, when he
learned that the horse was to be ridden
by a veteran Jockey whose surname was
the ssme as his own Forth. H at once
declared his Intention of laying $50 on
-the animal. In vain his friends argued
that Frederick stood at 80 to ; that
Forth was 67. years old, and that there
could not be ... a chance for the horse
winning. He stoutly replied that for a
horse to bear his Christian name and
be' ridden by a. jockey having his sur
name was too much for him. Back ft
he did,' not with $50 but with $100, and
be cleared $3,000 over it from which he
built a substantial fortune. :..
- The fact that on the day the Empress
of Germany died a filly, the Empress
Frederick, was running at Birmingham
was surely a singular coincidence, but
hundreds of superstitious folk deemed
the Empress death an ill omen and re
frained from backing the filly, which,
however, won easily.

COULD NOT STAND
THE COLD OF IOWA
Jerry Powers, the erstwhile Iowan, Is
back st his old haunts, and Incidentally
is buying a few hats as the result of a
wager , regarding the length of time he
would stay.
William C. Powers, or "Jerry," as ha
Is more familiarly known.' left' Portland
a few months ago to engage-in busi
ness with his brother, Mr. John Powers,
of Imyanola, la. ,
Jerry stayed with the business as
long as ho could, but the green tlelds
and temperate climate of Oregon proved
too much for the well-known Portlander
to resist when counterbalanced by tha
several feet of ' snow and sero weather
existing In Iowa. . So last Saturday
morning, upon the receipt of a Jelegram
from Mr. Ed Schiller, Jerry 'packed up
his duds on two hours' notice and bid
his brother and . relatives good-bye and
hopped on a train bound westward,
where the ultimate goal was Portland
or "Paradise," as. Mr. Powers ex
presses it
To use the vernacular, Jerry 1 got
"frose out" not out of business, but
out of the country and to say that he
Is glad to get back is putting it mildly.
The buying of hats Is the order of the
day with the erstwhile Iowa clothing
dealer, for the several friends With whom
he wagered that he would not come back
inside of a year are sure to Insfst on
the payment of the bet. and Jerry was
never known to "crawflsh.'V Mr. Pow
ers has a wide circle of friends in this
city, who are jubilant over hts return.
Mr. Powers' advice to all his friends
is. "Don't leave Portland, for you can't
And a better place, because It Isn't on
the map." - . . ,

Arthur Brisbane, In one of his dally
editorials- In the New York Evening
Journal, quotes, as he says, from the cir
cular of a Philadelphia whisky firm,; as
follows: '
Possibly' 92 or 83: per cent of '. the
whisky sold in Philadelphia la what is
technically termed by the trade "blended
whisky." The manner of its preparation
is about as follows: For a barrel of ,48
gallons, possibly? 88 to 40 gallons of
cologne spirits fcre put, Into a tank
cologne spirits toeing ths ether of the
whisky which passes from the still,; in
the process of distilling, as benslne pre
cedes, illuminating oil In the distilling
of' petroleum. It is a. neutral" spirit,
having , no- taste, but Its effect upon the
human system' is, very pernicious, and,
when taken tf. excess,,, ujt files to the
brain and produce very unpleasant re
sults. To this SO or 40 gallons of
cologne spirits,, possibly four gallons of
straight whisky are added, together with
two gallons of prune Juice, two gallons
of peach juice and a little yantlla, pine
apple or some other flavor to give it a
distinctive and pronounced character.
This compound, or blend, is allowed to
stand for someononths,-until the com
ponent parts are all blended. The com
pound is then bottle or barrelled, widely'
advertised and sold under fancy and al
luring names, at prices ranging from
76 cents to $3 a bottle.

. San Francisco, Dec 25. The greatest
race- of the season is being run at In
gleslde this v. afternoon, , namely, the
Christmas handicap. Fourteen of the

to start in the , race, which makes it
hard to pick the winner. Several of
the local dallies figure that the race
lies between. Claude, Oarsman, Divinla

that none of the tipsters seem to figure
In the race. The Crawford . horse has
finished in the money in the' last three
races she. was in and she looks good in
the big event with only 93 pounds up.
Forest 'King, the Oregon horse,-with
98 up, is likely to cut quite a figure in
the event Lord Melbourne, the horse that
is making a bid for a Kenll worth record
this season,, is another entry not to be
despised. -- ... . -'.'.. . ' .... ... ,
' Claude is handicapped with the great
est weight, 123 pounds, but that does not
feaze the admirers of the Daly horse,
who think he has an excellent chance.

DELANEY TALKS
, -. ABOUT COLOR LINE
V (Journal 8prclil Service.)
San Francisco, Dec. 25. "Jim" Jef
fries did not draw the color line through
fear," said "Billy" Delaney.
"No one for a moment doubts that the
champion would have easy work trim
ming the colored brother. It is through
long pleadings that the champion took
his present stand. I argued that when
Jackson wss in his prime it was almost
Impossible to live in California owing
to the airs and manners' the colored
population adopted. It is to avoid a
repetition of this kind that I am so
opposed to. Jeffries fighting a colored
man. V
' "Johnson showed ' last week that he
is miles removed from .- championship
calibre. He lacks the punch to finish,
Take all his fights, and it will be no
ticed that only In about one out of 10
he finishes an opponent before the limit
is reached 'Sandy Ferguson had no
trouble in staying the 20 rounds.
"Now just place Ferguson In front of
Jeffries and see what would happen to
him. It would be like taking candy
away from a baby for the big fellow to
trim him. . Johnson contents himself
with Jabbing his opponent and jumping
back out of harm s way. He generally
makes an unsatisfactory fight, and this
is another good reason why 'Jeff should
avoid him. ' . '
"No one can blame 'Jim' Cofforth for
trying, to bring the meeting about. be
cause he Is keeping an eye on the main
chance. Cofforth knows that any con
test In which the champion is engaged
will draw a big house, and as he 1s the
head and front of the Yoaemlte club, he
naturally wants to secure an attraction
that will draw the light followers to the
box window. Hence his great anxiety

CARLISLE INDIANS VS.
ALL-CALIFORNIA TODAY
- - (journal Special Srtlce.)
San Francisco,- Dec. 26. All is ready
for the great gridiron battle which takes
place this afternoon between the All
California team and the Carlisle Indian
eleven.:--,-';' , ' -..,-....'.-.-V.r.
Indications point 'to a recordbreaklng
crowd, and speculation on the outcome
varies, as there are many faking sides
with the visitors. ,
The young Indians are rigorously
clceroned by their manager and phy b1
clajaT.helrxrfect'physicalfjtn.eM..ai. all times is due to their temperate and
regular mode of living. The Boy who
transgresses in this respect is at once
sent back to school, and fear of the dis
grace attendant upon such puniBhment
probably has something to do with their
cheerful adherence to the prescribed
reorlmen. ' '
- Only one of the players has been here
before. Johnson was a member1 of the
Carlisle team that came West In 1809,
since when he has earned the reputation,
indorsed by no less -infallible an author
ity than Walter Camp, the "father of
football," 'of being the greatest quarter
back and field general In all America.
He is captain ot the present team, and
wears his honors so modestly that no
body would pick him out for what he Is.
The most interesting member of the
group is Schuchouck. the Kodlak Indian,
who plays center rush, and is said to
be a terror in that position.' .He is the
only native Alaskan In . the group In
deed, the only one who has ever dis
played prowess on the football field
and hts comrades seem to respect him
accordingly.

TIGHT WITH UOS IB A BEWXB.
A fair was being held on the outskirts
of Birmingham. One of its greatest at
tractions was a menagerie, and. ss
events , turned out, this certainly pro
vided one of the greatest sensations Bir
mingham has ever known. '
Prominent among the caged, animals
was a handsome African lion a savage
brute which had emphasized its hatred
ot captivity by killing one attendant
and severely mauling two others.
With the idea of quieting its invttrla
ble restlessness. Mr. Frank Bostock, the
menagerie's well known beast tamer, de
elded to place- it in a t double cage. In
whlch.lt would have the companionship
of one of Its own tribe, separated from
it only by Iron bars.
.Accordingly, the empty compartment
of this cage was wheeled alongside the
savage' lion's den and the two doors
opened snd ., placed . one against , the
other. ' :
Immediately and before-any warning
could be taken of its intention, the lion
sprang , violently. Into the double' cage,
alighting against Its .further bars with
such force - that It was driven back
ward. . . H
. Attendants xnshed to close the door,
but it was too late. ' With a deafening
roar it sprang over their heads and was
free! ,
A ferocious lion loose in densely pop
ulated Birmingham!
'. Proceeding at a shambling trot up the
street leading from the menagerie-tent,
It came to one of the "many openings
of the main sewer, and sprang down it.
, Mr. Bostock proved himself, a maa of
action ana or courage. s
Accompanied by three-trusty, attend
ants and his .huge' boar,' hound.' Marco,
he entered the sewer and started In pur
suit. ; tt. :."v , ..v..; ;,.; v.: '?;
Except t for ; the . occasional shafts of
light, the place was in semi-darkness.
. Suddenly, Marco barked. , : A savage
growl gave answer, and the men knew
that the lion was at hand.
. In a moment, a terrific struggling was
taking place between - the two animals.
But the dog, big though he was. was no
match for-his powerful a ntogonlst and
soon retired behind his masters, -terribly
mauled. v' .V.
And now It was the men's turn.
Bostock slipped off one of the heavy
jack-boots he was wearing, and cour
ageously approaching the lion, hit him a
tremendous blow on the nose.
, Just as he did so, one of the men who
was carrying a tin kettle containing
cartridges and candle-ends tripped and
dropped It. '-
The shock of the blow, the . evident
determination of the men, and the clang
ing noise of the, falling kettle all seemed
to have confblned to thoroughly frighten
the lion. . V. -
Turning tall with 'a savage-snarl-lt
bolted lown the-sewer and into a, cun
ning trap. , . ,
. Slip-nooses had been by now. hung
down through, several man-holes, and
Into one of these the.,anlmal dashed, to
become firmly held by his hlnd-qUarters.
The rest was, by comparison, "easy
work.' Nets and ropes soon secured the
struggling Jlon. Jts cage was brought
to the side of the man-hole, and into It
he was lgnomtnlously hauled. A tame
ertdlng so far as the lion was concerned,
but a thankful -moment for Mr. Bostock.
Journal friends - and readers when
traveling on-trains to and from Port

The football game till afternoon ia
the lodestone that will . attract many" .
of Portland's best citizens to Multno
mah field,. where the annual gridiron bat
tle Is fought between the stalwart sons
of the State university and their equally
Btrong opponents, the wearers of the ..
crimson and white of the local club.
With a great many of Portland's ctti-
sens and also cltlzenesses,. If they will
excuse the term it la as much a part
Of the Christmas Jubilee to witness a
football game as. it is to make presents '
to their sweethearts, -wives dr friends.:
And will, they be there? you may ask.
you can bank on It that they will, with -
bells, too. Both elevens, finished their ,
preliminary practice yesterday. The All
Oregon lads, under the able direction of
Coach Angell, wound up their work yes
terday on the campus of the Hilt Mill- s
tary academy,, with, the utmost enthus-
lasm prevailing throughout ". the stren
uous stunts, exacted of them by their'
captain. --. .i. .:4 . "t -4. ,
Last evening the , boys were treaLsd
to a genuine surprise in the shape of a
Christmas party, tendered Oregon eleven
ana the academy boarders by Dr. Hill.
The thoughtful principal of the academy
arranged a Christmas tree and every
one present was remembered by "Santa."
To say the least the . boys were de
lighted, ' and theyi- cannot : sing .their
praises of Dr. Hill high enough. Cap
tain McMillan put his men through their
final stunts last evening and the boys
worked with a will, and are Just as de
termined as ever to retain their laurels.
' The addition of Stott has proven bene
ficial to the qlubmen, for this player la
well known; for his ability at running
the team, which Is one of the duties of
a quarterback.' Kerrigan la another
competent man' at that position, and he
will alternate with Stott this afternoon.
With these two -men to depend on the
absence of Chct Murphy will not be felt
much , by the locals. ' -
Mr. Frank Villa of Michigan has
come down from Seattle to officiate as
umpire in the contest., and E. C. Judd
of Salem will act in . the capacity of
referee. , Both ' men are ; competent of
flclats and no -dtspntes'-are ; expected.
