Boys in Charje and Will Undoubtedly ' Round Out a Fast Eleven by Christmas Day. ' . 't It la very amusing to tha Multnomah club members to read all of the hard 'luck atories that are being aant out from Seattle regarding tha poor condition, of " the team that will tackle the-M. A. A. C aggregation on Chrlatmaa afternoon. Experience haa ahown Portlandere aa It should ahow all people that It la a Tory ,: wtae thlna not to give any apeclal cred- ance to atorlaa that emanate from foot , bell coaches. Here la a part of Beattlo'a " wall: ' ' ' ' ; -The football squad of the Seattle AthKlo club did not practice last night. J for the vary food reaaon that not eeougb. fellowa turned "out to make It worth whlla. Aa urgent eall haa been aent to the men to turn out tonight. . for with leee than a weak In which to get ready for the Multnomah game Chrlatmaa day. the team needa a lot of drilling If It la to make any aort of a showing. '. -. -. -. .' "Six men put. In an appearance laat night, and seemed Immensely pleaaed when no more came. for. they all ran down the hill to the theatre. Some of ' the men who ' aeera 1 Indifferent about turning out for practice will be greatly ' aurprlaed when they nna otner men in their nieces In the big game. The team la going to be picked from the men who . turn out regularly for practice, lor atar performer la no uae to a team u , leaa he knowa the eignale and the gen eral atyle of tha play." Beattle'a Bad Wall.'. Prom the above It might be inferred . that tha Seattle team did not have the allghteat chanoe at all agalnat tha Mull s' nomah men, but auch la not thk caee. 1 Here la another yell from a northern aorlbe: ' . . . -. , - I "When men have to work for a living f It la a hard matter to get them out at . night" to run through elgnal practice. The old football play era like to get Into a came, but they hate to go through the ; ordeal of training. They had enough of ; hat when they were In college. But the men who are trying to turn out a win . nlng team for the club know that , un- leaa the men train faithfully they will '. get a licking at the hande of Multno- J wan Chrlatmaa day." .-.,. i : From the foregoing paragraph It would DDFtr . tint the Seattle playera are ' hard-working men and regret keenly "" that they wore not born to despise the delight a of labor and to live luxurioua day a. Do the Seattle coachea think for ,' a vagrant moment that the Multnomah playera are not hard-working menT The Multnomah playera are engaged In bust- . neaa and whatever time they devote to football ta given after the day'a work la done, ao la thla wtae the locale have no advantage over the great 61 washes.

WHAT THE BOXERS ARE DOING Battling Nelson Refuses to Di vorce His Notorious Manager .;':V -.. Billy. Nolan.', CANS AND HERMAN ARE , TRAINING FOR BATTLE Fight Fans Are of the Opinion That . Colored Champion Will Have an Interestinf Afternoon When He Meeta the Kid Other Items. Bat Nelson's heart seems to be true to Poll. Despite the efforts to divorce him from Nolan, and Tex Rlckard's statement, that there la nothing doing In Nevada until the team splits, the Battling one sticka to his manager and aays that aa long aa he fought he should atlck to his preaent mentor.' In a way. Nelson Ian t so foolish. No lan always geta him the best of It, which is what managers are for nowa days. They make money for each other. Both kid Herman and Joe Dans are now hard at work around the arid plains of Tonopah. Nevada, and while there doesn't seem to be any wild ex citement over thla coming bout, lt'a a cinch that tha present champion' hasn't any pipe to smoke. Herman la faster thsn Nelson can tilt as hard and Is Just aa game. The trouble la thst his system won't carry as much punishment, for he Isn't built along the same rugged lines but for all that Oana has an aftsrnoon of real exercise ahead, aaye Orantland Rica In the Cleveland News. Nelson had traveled 40 old rounds with the dusky pug, before he Imported ns now celebrated roui, and ir aans trims the game little Kid from Chicago he'll be on the other side of 20 rounds when he springs the trick. At present Oans la eight pounds over weight, but he'll never go on with Her man above 138. This would meaa a net loss to both of 8.000 cold and his 128- pound charge Into the aame ring with welterwelglt. . Rrt far Tnnonah hasn't ' drawti' thw same luck which fell to Ooldfteld's' lot for the scare heada of the Oans-Nelson melee sre missing. ' Goldfleld ran the ever-strenuous Roosevelt a dead heat for six weeka or more, but up to date, Tonopah la a few laps still behind 'the -avers ge councilman In the matter of dope" uaed up. Herman faces long odds, but with that he haa a chance to plant a lucky haymaker, and get away with more preatlge than any rsgnter has enjoyed since Jeffries oosed from the lime light. The Oana-Jlerman affair is at pres ent the only war scare of the season'. Both Burns snd O Brian are still en gaged In the deadly throea of a type writer duel, but neither has broken Into the open as yet 1 The present odds are that well be reading the bos scores of spring before they don the mltta again.
