RACING GOSSIP ON THE EASTERN TRACKS There Is a Possibility of a Meet War Between Two New Orleans Clubs. The only thing that will prevent a record-breaking season at New Orleans is the possibility of war between the Crescent city Jockey club, which has been racing at the fair grounds for many years, and the new club that has stepped In on the scene. At the present time the Crescent City Jockey club does not feel inclined to give up any of Its dates to accommodate the rival nrean- Wsation. but as the new body seems pre pared to tight, one of the two will have to give way. In order to make a euc- cessful year the tracks will have to run on alternate dates, as New Orleans Is not a large enough city to support two tracks, and If the cluba get to fight ing each other It la likely to. kill the aport in that town. The meeting at Hot Springs will not begin until some time In the early part of January. The out look, at present la the the winter tracke thla year will nil have a most success ful season. One Interesting feature of the New Orleans meet will be the pasatng of Starter C. J. Fitsgerald. the moat suc cessful wlelder of the flag ever seen In these parts. To Fltigerald goes the honor of bringing the barrier into prominence aa a great help In starting horses, as It wss under him that the device made Its first real sqecess. In the early days of the barrier owners and trainers did not take much stock In Fitzgerald's views ot the question, but he - worked hard on It and In a ahort ttnyj all agreed that the barrier was the proper thing. Although Fitsgerald expects to start the horses at New Orleans only a few weeks. It will probably be the first of next year before his career as a starter will terminate. There are several men spoken of to succeed Fitsgerald at New Orleans and also in the east next sea son. Billy Murray, who waa formerly an assistant to Fltigerald. but who has been starting In the west at various points this year, la one of them. A. J. Joiner made a wonderful record aa a trainer this aeason. He sent forty horses to the post in 380 races and wen (0. In 41 races he ran second, and in 88 earned third money. In actual money he earned for Sydney Paget 2137. 831.60. For August Belmont he sent two horses to the post Lord of the Vale and Mtasen and with them won 811,(10. He aaddled twenty-two differ ent two-year olds. Old-timers were commenting this week on the fact that Luke Blackburn waa sold at the recent aale at Bellemeede for 88S. Luke Blackburn waa one of the greatest race horses that was ever foaled. In his prime he asked odds of nothing at any distance, In any kind of going, at any weights. Oen. Jackson paid the Dwyer brothers 818.000 for Luke Blsckburn, and at a dispersal sale afterward he waa bid in for 838,000 fo remain at Bellemeade. It's a pity that In his old age he should have been submitted, to the Indignity of being sold for the price of a ton of hay. M. A. A. C. AND OREGON AWAIT THE KICK OFF The big -game of the season is on this afternoon at Multnomah field, and may the better team win. The Oregon con tingent arrived in Portland last even ing and from all reports the visitors Intend contesting every Inch of play. They are a well-trained lot of players and should give the clubmen a terrlflc struggle. The Multnomah men are not saying much, but feel confident of whitewashing tne Oregonlana once more. Should fair weather prevail- thla after noon the largest crowd In the hlatory of the game In this city will be In at tendance. The kick-off Is at 1:10. A MM (Journal Speelal Service.)

A made yard age twice around right end. N. R. A held for downs and P. A. punted to N. R. A.'s 10-yard line, the ball going a great part of the distance on the roll N. R. A.'s ssfety who recovered the punt, waa tacked so fiercely by Msrsden that the ball was fumbled and P. A. re covered It. N. R. A. put up a strong defense at this point, but P. A. went over for a second touchdown. The goal was missed. With two mlnutea of the first half left to plgy, P. A. kicked off and the half ended with the ball in N. R. A.'s possession In the middle of the field. At the beginning of the second half. N. R. A. kicked off to P. A.'s 10-yard line and Corbett advanced It 16 yards. P.

A.'s ssfety waa downed in his tracks by Marsden on their own 10-yard line. N. R. A. found a weak spot in P. A.'s left side of the line and carried the ball at a 6-yard clip to P. A.'s 80-yard line. P. A was penalised for off-side play. P. A. recovered the ball on downs. P. A. punted and N. R. A. again smashed P. A.'s. left side for great gaina. The half ended with the ball In N. R.

A general rough house took place at the Owl mu sic hall Monday night, Immediately fol lowing the prise fight st Oerroanla hall, and aa a result, six boxers and would-be pugs were arrested and afterward re leased on ball. The participants were Percy Cove, who won over Mussen In the real prise fight; hla manager, Cook, and a couple of local boys. The trouble was over the fact that Cook claimed his man, could make mince meat of Mussen in six pounds. This led to a long argument, which finally wound up In a terrific scrap in which a squad of police took part with their cluba. The big sticks played havoc with the heada of the fighting gang and bystanders. The prisoners were to have appeared In court yesterday afternoon, but the case had to be put off because of the serious illness of Magistrate Orlffln. (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) Tacoma.

FOOTBALL RALLY A GREAT SUCCESS Multnomah Men Turn Out by the Hundred and Hold Pow Wow. BOTH TEAMS READY FOR THE MATCH Each Captain Is Claiming a Vic tory and the Came Should Be a Struggle. Last night's football rally at the Multnomah club was by long odds one of the most Interesting and successful affairs of Its kind la the history of the institution, and every man went home singing the praises of the entertainers, the club and the whole ahow. The suc cess of ths sffalr waa due to the tireless efforts of Chairman David Honeyman and his assistants, who have spent many buay hours perfecting arrangements. It aeemed as If every numbe want off at the correct time and not a min ute's delay occurred. The enthuslssm came in volumes and was unbounded. The orchestra kept busy during Inter missions In the wrestling bouts and story telling periods, dispensing the live liest music. Dom Zan waa the first to start the ball rolling and, accompanied by Mr. Alexander on the piano, sang three songs and would be still singing if he didn't have to attend the game today. And the encores! The wrestling match between Frank and Dranga waa a clever exhibition and the crowd appreciated it. Roberta and Dranga and MapeS and Bottler ahdwed the visitors how M. A. A. C. boys box. MelvlniR. Dodson contributed several well told stories. Mr. Samuels, a clever Jewish Impersonator, mads the crowd roar with hla funny songs and witticisms. Fyne and Dandy, acrobats, helped along the fun making considera bly. At this stage Dick" Smith. Oregon's coach, was discovered in the gallery and was called upon for a speech. As ha srose the house gave him a splendid ovation, and as Smith Is modesty itself, his remarks were thoroughly appre ciated. "1 am glad to be present to night," said the great football man, "be cause this reminds me of the dear old college spirit that means ao much for football. I have been trying for years to beat Multnomah and I am going to have Oregon try once more tomorrow to aee If they, cannot whip thla noted club team. Our boys are somewhat lighter than yours, but they will do their beat, and whether they win or loee they will accept the result In good spirit.' Our boys have been looking forward to thla match with considerable Interest, and I am convinced that they will give Mult nomah a good, atlff game. Away from the university my heart beats for Mult nomah's success, and aalde from tomor row's game, I would do anything In my power to assist the club. Smith's speech was loudly applauded. and the old gymnasium fairly ahook with the reception given him. Professor Herd man followed him with a plea for undivided cheering at th game. Afterwards Sam Jordan and Bert Farrell were selected to lead the rooters and a general rehearsal was held. The songs were aung and the cheers given with a will. This afternoon the Nine teenth Infantry band will play at the game. Both teams are ready for the struggle and. atrange to relate, both are confident of winning. The protect of Dolph may not stand and Marlon may be in the game. Captain Dowllng predicts a vie tory on the ground of strength and speed, while Captain Templeton declares that apeed and team work will win for Oregon.

In the middle of the fourth round of what was ached uled to be a six-round bout at the Na tional Athletic club last evening be tween Tommy Byan, the champion mid dleweight pugilist, and Jack Boot, the Chicago light heavyweight. Beferee Jack McOulgan stopped the contest and de clared the affair to be a fake. inn managers or Dotn proiesiea vigorously against the ruling, but the exhibition was such a palpable fraud that the spectators started a demonatra lion, and it waa necessary to secure police protection for the fighters In escorting them to their dressing rooms. The principals went through a ays tern of light sparring, scarcely touch ing each other, and after watching the proceedings for three rounds, and noth ing their actions, the referee decided It to be s fake, and In the middle of the fourth round he left the ring and an nounced It to be a swindle. The men had been guaranteed 82.800 before they entered the ring, and on thla sccount the referee could do nothing but stop the contest, which wss with out doubt the worst showing sver at tempted In Philadelphia.
