San Francisco. Oct. II. While dis
ftcusslng the heavyweight situation last
3 week I suggested that It would be a
good Idea to match Sam Herger and Ai
tufman. Now I am In a position to re-
that all arrangements have been
for a 10 round contest between
Etna two stalwart San Franclscsns. They
tare to meet at Dreamland, in tnis cuy,
under the auspices of the local fieht
trust en the last night of the present
month.
The event will be of particular inter
est to Ssn Francisco sporting men.
rajer and Kaufman learned what tney
tow of the Queefesberry gsme in this
fltv and thev each have a large follow

"as to age and physique, each men being
a veritable young giant.
As the professional highway is com-
ttlvely strange to the reel or tnese
ithful huskies there is ample reason
for assuming that both of them are
bbllng over with ambition ana tnat
are thoroughly innocent or am-
ious methods.
It la the belief that they are aa deep

who have decided that the

aa some one suggests. It be on
score that he dresses better than
opponent and baa more expensive
habits generally.
It ban kssstas a common thing for a
fighter with a long record of victories
to show a mercenary spirit In framing
the terms of a match and bis excuses
for doing so Is thst he risks his all In
the prestige and money-earning line and
has to be recompensed by heavy Insur
ance, aa It were.
An untried man. Mot Berger. can avail
himself of no such defense, however.
The only explanation possible of Sam's
tactics Is that he la less eager to fight
thsn Kaufman, and Is therefore better
able to drive a hard bargain. The man
who la willing aa a rule has to knock
under to the nan who Is holding back.
Now that one of my elimination bouts
aa come on the boards, I ahould like to
nee the other arranged. Reference la
made to a Johnson -O'Brien contest, an
affair the making of which will hardly
follow as closely on the heals of sug
gestion ss did the Berger -Kaufman
match.
"1 wonder at you bespeaking consid
eration for Johnson," said a member of
the fight trust the "Asphyxiated club,"
Morris Levy calls' it to the writer.
"Why, no one criticised him more harsh
ly than you did over his showing with
Marvin Bart."
Granted, frank friend, and it may be
aay privilege to criticise him harshly
again. Meanwhile I get to thinking oc

negro ahould be hounded all his life
because of a couple of wretched per

instance it seems to have accentuated
faults, or shortcomings, that have been
condoned time snd again in others. One
thing Is certain, if the old biblical
standard still prevails It will be eaay

That TeUow Streak.
I could never satisfy myself thor
oughly as to what was the mstter with
Johnson when he failed to extend him
self. It msy have been "yellow streak,"
or It may have been "fighting to or
ders." 'Assuredly his contests with
Handy Ferguson and Marvin Hart were
frights, snd they were all the more dis
tasteful to the writer because he had
previous knowledge of what Johnson
could accomplish when the fighting
mood was on him.
At Los Angeles I saw him handle that
dangerous customer Frank Chllda like
a thorough workman, and I ssw him
dispose of big Sam MoVey In an almost
equally artistic fashion."
Hs oame oat of Mount Zloa hospital
one day, and, weak as he was, boxed
George Gardiner the same night. I was
there to see, and the way Gardiner waa
baffled and cuffed at every stage of
a fairly fast contest was Interesting to
watch.
If Johnson was out of the pugilistic
gams entirely and I waa asked to review
his career, I ahould aay he was a fellow
who while always possessing champion
ship mettle, fought like a demon one
time and like a dub the next.
Aa proof that he loafed In bis poor
fights and waan't really mastered, I
should point to the fsct that hs never
carried many bruises or abrasions out
of the ring with him.
SttU in the (Hum.
Bat he Isn't out of the game. He
wants another chance., and at the risk of
having to brand htm an ln-and-outer

the scheme for restoring him to good
standing.

It should be coaxed out, and the best
man to put hint" to a thorough tost is
Jack O'Brien.
O'Brien may or may not agree to meet
Johnson ss long ss there are Trimbles
and Cooleys to be had for the asking.
Jack will no doubt defer the day of
reckoning with the negro. He will
hardly be able to advance as an excuss,
however, that he Intends journeying to

It was Bookmaker Wren's big prop

of reckoning. The matter of preventing
pugilistic contests was brought up in
the leglslstive assembly, and later, after
a meeting of the state cabinet. Premier
Bent announcedVthst it hsd been decided
to introduce in parliament a bill for the
suppression of prise fights.
Aaked to define the meaning of the
term "prise fight." the premier re
plied: 'The bill will be prepared so aa

Chicago, Oct. II. oesplts the handi
cap of a bad case of the heaves which
afflicted Isbell, Davis snd Bohs today
In the West Bide ball lot. the White
Sox trimmed the fur off the Cubs In the
fifth game of the great series for the
world's championship and left them
naked and whimpering upon the sward.
The score was $ to t, but that doea not
begin to tell the talc of the direful
doings that ended only when the shades
of night were falling so fast that a
fly ball looked like a homing sparrow
In the sky.
There war 2S.267 fellow eltlssns of
tbe athletee present and, the gates to
the park were closed an hour before the
game-started. The crowd saw the White
Sox in two hours and fifty minutes' ot
freaky ball playing transform them
selves from the "hltless wonders" Into
the "South Side sluggers,' by driving
the peerless Rueltaoh from the dlrtplle
In the middle of the lot In the third in
ning, chasing Pfi ester, the phenom,
after having a storm of hits ting around
hla unprotected head in the next In
ning, and garnering two doubles and
two singles from Overall, who waa sec
ond aid t the injured, and managed to
last through the game.
Twelve hits were slammed out by the
south side bate and seven of them were
scattered among the 2S.257 Insanity sus
pects, being two-baggers hit into the
crowd. Of these nifty and useful dou
bles Isbell msds no less than four and
the others were divided between Davla,
Donohue and Rohe. By the strange
perversity of baseball fate, three of
the White Lags who thus figured so
prominently were responsible for six
black "marks In the error column of the
Sox which enabled the Cuba to corral
their six runs.
It being open season for presents
for the club managera. Chance and
Jones were each slipped a grand little
diamond-studded watch fob after the
game, the gift of George M. Cohan, the
actor.
In connection with the game the fact
should not be overlooked that Edward
Walsh, the large person who performed
such stirring deeds In the box on Thurs
day, when he left nothing to Chance and
took three tallies home to Comlaky,
was also forced to retire today, but the
changing of pitchers got to be such a hab
it with Manager Chance that the entry of
Dr. White Into the game in the sev
enth Inning waa sjmost overlooked.
Nothing much happened after he came,
except that the Cube were stopped in
a rally that might have helped soma
Mr. Walsh did not hold them In the
slippery hollow of his hand as hs did
Thursday. They made alx hits off his
vapor. float delivery, two of whit were
doubles, and as these began to pile up
toward the shank of the day. wise Mr.
Joner gently removed the florid man
from ths center of the ring.
Errors Were Costly.
At the very outset of the trouble,
while 6.000 or 10.000 discordant par
ties who arrived after 1:41' o'clock and
found the gates shut were wandering
around the fence and begging to be told
who was Dltchlnr. It looked aa thoua-h
C. Webb Murphy's fire eaters were go
ing to run away with the game. They
found Mr. Walsh for" two hits In the
first Inning and assembled three runs
on these In combination with a baas ok
balls snd a couple of heavea into the
crowd by Isbell and Walsh. Cub root
ers roar up by tbe million and began
collecting bets right there. But when
the Soxs took a whirl at the stick it
developed that Mr. Ruelbach needed a
lot of taming. Hahn made a hit, label!
made the first double of his eventful
day. Rohe msde another and the Sox
got a run.
In the third Isbell and Davla returned
to tbe charge and grabbed off two
more two-baggers. That was about all
for the peerless Ruelbach and a signal
of distress , brongh Pflester from the
clubhouse with his southpaw In heavy
wrappings. He peeled and took the
hill snd lust to show his form struck
out George Robe, the three-base hitter.
Much din from tbe Cub fans. Hahn not
being In sight, Mr. Pflester stung Mr.
Donohue over the inning with a fast
one and ths Inning wound up in s blsae
of glory for him when Donohue was
forced and Sullivan whanged vainly at
three shoots.
But the undoing of Pflester was at
hand. Rurnlng for revenge for his
busted noae. Hahn faced him in the
fourth after Walsh had courteously ac
cepted a pass, and cracked out a hat one

of Interest to the Men Who Chase
tbe Elusive Pigskin.
Chauncev Blahon of Salem, last year's
coach of Willamette and crack halfback
on the Multnomah football team, spent
Friday in Portland, purchasing goods
for his store at the state capital.
"Chancy." as he la popularly called, is
one of the greatest football players
in the United States. Be has few supe
riors He waa a star when he played on
Columbia 'varsity in New York City, and
he waa a star last year. Bishop expects
to be In the city during thla fall and
winter, and ahould he decide to remain
ha will give the halfback candidates st
Multnomah a lively time in the work
outs. "Chancy" says that although he
la out of football, he would not mind
trying a tew runs and bucks against ths
Seattle A C eleven. Wonder why?
e e
Other Multnomah boys seem to feel
the same way about Seattle aa Blahop.
Martin Pratt, the old reliable tackle, and
George McWUllam, veteran halfback and
tackle, were discussing ths outlook last
week.
"George, do you think that yon will
play any more football T" asked Pratt.
'4(0. Mart, I am too old for that stren
uous game; that's a pastlms for the
younger men, such as Jordan, Dowllng
and Dolph."
"Well." aaid Pratt, "don't you think
the exercise would do both of us con
siderable good?"
"I really think It would.' answered
McMillan, "but I am so much engrossed
with buiineaa that I haven't the time to
play, hut I would not mind giving the
boys the benefit of my experience at
any time."
"Wouldn't you go in against Seattle?"
aaked Pratt. In hla quiet way, "if yon
were needed T"
"Oh. thet's different," said "Mac." and
the two big fallows took a quiet stroll,
Pratt acting in the capacity of aa earn

Ronald Bert, the big right guard of
the Multnomah team. Is a most Interest
ing character. He la In the lee business,
snd during the summer months keeps In
fine condition, so that when the football
season opens hs Is ready to don his
armor and pureue pigskin opponents.
Last Fourth of July Frank Wstkins met
Bert, who waa dangling a $00-pound
eake of ice on his little finger.
"Frank," said Bert, 'When are you
going to start In that football business?"
"Oh. about the last of September,"
asld Frank, and suggested that Bert put.
the loe down while they were talking.
"Thanks. Frank, but I'd rather not To
tell the truth. I've begun training, and
thla is in ths course prescribed."
He held the Ice on his finger for

Alvln Xransellne, the old Pennsyl

Folsoro. the . Dartmouth coach, is
strong in his denouncement of the new

portunity of trying them out no his
harsh criticism doea not count for much

Oarsman King of the Portland Row
ing club, physically one of the beet
men In tbe M. A. A. C, will try foot bs 11
thla season. King has wonderful
strength and would not mind trying for
'varsity center.
There Is a young player named Black
man, hailing from the Unlveratry of
Washington, who la destined to become
one of the orsck men In the M. A. A. C.
eleven. He Is fast and sarong and will
make a good tackle or end.
e
Jordan, Wilder. Dowllng and all can
didates for the end positions will be
given a trial in the Albany game. As it
will be necessary thla year to have two
sets of ends, the men mentioned will be
undoubtedly chosen, as they have shown
up splendidly this year. Jordan has not
been feeling very well thla fall, but la
in good condition now. Dowllng is
heavier than he waa last year and will
make a fine end rusher. Wilder 4a a
Rugby player and la as speedy aa a
March hare. He la a sure catcher bf
punts and a clever open field advancer
of the ball. There are several other
candidates for the end positions who
will be tried out today and this week,
e e
The quarterbaok position will be the
most difficult to fill on tbe Multnomah
squsd. Dr. Rader haa been passing the
ball at the night practices and haa done
very well. Still, there Is a feeling thst
Rader will be of greater service In a
tackle or bark field position. He is
swift and la sure with the ball, and for
these reasons it may be that he will be
found In some other position. James
Alexander baa been passing the ball
well, and so have Henderson, Rupert and
Dowllng. 80 much will depend on the
Seetneea and strength of the quarter
ila year that a severe test will be
made before that position is filled.

perform great feats this year. Dolph.
