Petraln. The year of 1904 opens with', prac tically no new . . champions developed among the knights' of the roped arena. , '. Champion Jeffries ' has successfully demonstrated his superiority, by defeat ing both Robert Fltssimmons and James J., Corbett, the principal claimants for the heavyweight title, for the second time, winning a decisive victory in each case. : v. The big fellow has developed wonder ful ' speed and cleverness during the past year, and his showing against both Corbett and Fitsslmmons was a' sur-. prise to the fistlo authorities in gen eral. ..--r- -p- -.. The surprise was not at his easy vic tory over each opponent, f but at the Vast improvement in form shown' by the big fellow. - The scientific exhibi tions put up by the champion caused him to be heralded "as the peer of all boxers.' His great suse, . immense strength, ability to stand punishment, and newly-developed science, entitle him to tbe applause he has justly earned. - It seems ' extremely doubtful at - ihe present time as to whether a worthy suc cessor of this great ;nghter is likely: to be developed . in the next few Tears to' comet, f f ' . ' v i All the men who have heretofore held the belt have met their match in-some practically' unknown fighter who sprang up all of a sudden and wrested the laur els from them when they were at the height of t their glory. So it may be with . Jeffries. ' . Some practically un known may be' developed who will de feat the champion with as much ease as with which he secured the belt from "that grand old, man of the prise ring," Fltzsimmons. ' : ; , At the present writing there are any number of candidates, but they are of a minor importance in regard to scientific development . r. Jack Munroe, the Butte miner, is pos sibly the best of the lot, exclusive of Corbett and ' Fltssimmons, who have stated that they would not again meet Jeffries, and it is extremely doubtful whether Munroe would have a look in in a fight with either of them. , Jack Johnson is barred by the color line which Jeff has drawn, and even he would stand but a poor chance against the champion were he given a match, un less he should show better form than has been displayed by him during his late contests. AV Limerick and Sandy Ferguson are- as yet undeveloped, and until they display more science than they now possess they cannot be considered seriously in the line of possible, aspir ants for the championship. The Dutch champion. Placke, is an unknown quantttyon this-side of 'the pond, and just how. much scientific abil ity he possesses remains to be seen, for as far as known he has. never defeated any one outside of his own little coun try, and pugilistic authorities 'have no authentic record of his victories. " And so the matter ' stands. . Unless some "phenom" is developed shortly Jeffries may continue to hold the title Indefin itely.' --;;' ,.V ,-' ,' ' ; Fltssimmons' victory over . Gardner leaves the blacksmith in possession of two championship titles,? the so-called llght-heavywelght, and the middleweight title, which he wrested from Jack Demp ey. . ' " ' '"" ;; -; :rpy':'':.'-r",',71'' Tommy Ryan, the claimant of the mid dlewelght honor by reason of Fltssim mons having entered the heavyweight division, is still In the nominal posses sion. the title for which he. and Phila delphia Jack O'Brien are : to battle shortly. ; : Joe .Walcott, the "Barbadoes wonder," or "demonr' as .h.e is sometimes called, has ' successfully defended the" welter weight title during the past year." and from present form bids fair to hold It for some time to come. .v'j Joe Oans, the champion lightweight, is still in possession of the title, al though recently defeated, by Sam Lang ford, as that battle was not fought at the lightweight -limit Jimmy Brttt of- California claims the lily-white lightweight championship and has seml-suooessfully defended the title, having lost to- Jack O Keef e on a foul, but later fought Mm a 20-round draw. Britt has met and defeated several of the best lightweights in the country and has thereby earned a claim to some con sideration. In the featherweight division, Wil liam H. Rothwell, or Toung Corbett, as he la. more familiarly known, has unquestionably demonstrated his superi ority over alj 'the aspirants for honors in that class. His superior cleverness and ring generalship place him above any little fighter that ever donned the mits at that weight, i Among the bantamweights, Frankte Neil of San Francisco is at present cred ited with the championship, iwhich title he acquired by defeating Harry Forbes of Chicago recently,' i .? , : ' ...-.:; There are champions, so called, or per haps self-styled, of almost every locality or district, In every country. under the sun where boxing is in vogue, but their, claims for-lionorg- are not substantially '.V .' ' ' " ' : Tom Sharkey and Jack Munroe are velopment of the sailor while "below is founded, : yet every other pugilist one meets nowadays claims the champion ship of some locality or other. The great question agitating pugil istic followers at present is, "Will a superior to Jeffries be discovered in the near future?" r r.iL:- ; . , - . .' JACK GRANT WAS BEYOND THE LIMIT The San Francisco Bulletin publishes a good story on; Jack Grant; the well known : local referee. ' It runs as - fol lows: George Weedon, better known now as I "Fussy" Weeden,- related last night his first introduction" to Jack Grant the Porlatid' referee, who came down to see the fight . He met him at Atlantic City last summer under such peculiar circumstances that he ' will never forget the Incident .Weeden and Young Corbett were out on the beach having a delightful swim, as the weather was, scorching hot . Suddenly a life-saving boat was seen to shoot out from the shore with all hands aboard. Weeden and C6rbett. noticed away out in the deep a man Swimming about and apparently enjoying himself! - The -man was, however, beyond' the limit allowed to swimmers, and this was why the boat was going. out to him. They watched the boat until it reached him, but they did not see him get aboard. They saw the crew motion '; to the man in the water to come out and then they saw the boat come back without him. After a spell' the man came swimming back leisurely, and when he got close enough Corbett noticed that it was Grant whom he jnet at Portland when he fought Memslo there,., but Weeden had never had the pleasure of hl -acquaintance. Jack told them how the life-saving crew had urged him to come aboard,' but he asked them to attend to their own busi ness, as he was quite able to take care, of himself In the water. The referee Is one of the crack swimmers of the North, TOB PEATHXBWBIOHT TTTXE. Indianapolis,- Ind., Jan. i.

PORTLAND TEAM PROSPECTS FOR 1904 The action of the Coast league In vot ing to enforce the blacklist of all play ers who have offended the organisation by Jumping their contracts last season will somewhat disarrange the plans of Parke Wilson and Fred Ely, managers of the Seattle and Portland teams. . Parke Wilson had signed Jack Wal ters, the player who deserted the Seattle club last year for tbe Los Angeles Na tionals, and Manager Ely was consid ering the advisability of securing Hulse man. Lawler and Glendon for next sea son. Before : the, league meeting Ely had endeavored to locate Hulseman, but he, could not get into communication with him, and had practically given up the idea of signing him. As to Lawler and Glendon, ' they have both . written to the local manager wanting to play here next ' year, but the' league decree taboos them from doing so were Ely willing to sign them. - ' ' Eddie Householder -is another player who wants - to come to Portland and now "that Hulseman and Lawler are out of the running he may be accommodated, as no Coast - league magnate has any claim upon him. Householder Is a good man and will .make a valuable addition to the local team.. He Is a .300 batsman, an excellent base runner and a fine outfielder.- . '.".". - - Nadeau is almost a certainty in left as he has been sent a ticket to Port land and is, expected to arrive here any day. Of the rest of the Portland team, Ely has Freeman and Francis for first and third, and will endeavor to fill the other two; infield positions from - among the following players: Ewa. Beck, Evans, Chllds, Castro,. Joseph Bean and possibly Charley, Babb. A shortstop and a sec ond baseman .will be selcted from those players, .The men most, likely to be secured are Babb and Beck. - There is plenty, of material for the other outfield positions and a good man will be secured. -m -. '; Manager Ely is dickering with " Lew McAllister I for catcher. McAllister Is the best all-around ball player, that is a player who. -can fill arty -position, In the country,' and his acquisition by the local manager would be of Inestimable value. . Danny Shea will be signed as change catcher. ;::,;. ,, v. . .v:v A couple of good pitchers will .then be all that the local a wlU.ieed. for a hustling team. that will be in th,e race from the start. . , .. . .... r : j The stockholders of the Portkand base ball club of J902 ' received a surprise Saturday in , the " shape . of a check' amounting to all per . cent t dividend on the stuck held by them in that or ganization. ....

The two are re garded as evenly matched and an Inter esting and lively battle Is expected to be the outcome. , RELIANCE TEAM TO PLAY CIIEMAWA ' ------ The Reliance Athletlo - club team, which went down, in an overwhelming defeat on New Year's day at the hands of the Multnomah Amateur Athletlo club's crack team, left Portland this morning bound for home, although they stop at Salem enroute and play a game with . the Chemawa Indiana. The Re liance team takes its defeat at the hands of the local clubmen In a philosophic manner, giving as a reason their lack of team "work and practice. Lack of practice and familiarity with one an other was plainly apparent during the football game, and their claim is Justi fied. Both Manager Smith and Captain Cavanaugh state' that it Is their be lief that had the clubmen met Stan ford or Berkeley with the same team and under the same conditions as New Year's day the results between them would have been different .

The question met with a warm debate and was finally put to a vote, which re- ' , suited in the tabooing of all contract- Jumpers from playing in the Coast eague in the future. The strange part of this proposal was that the northern qlubs, who ' suffered most last seasorl from the deserters, were the ones to agitato their cause.,' The vote on the. question was a tie until decided by tbe ballot of President Burt, who, after dua deliberation," decided against , the men jyhOj failed to abide by their contract 10 uonsiaer Association waiter.
