COLORED CHAMPION IS
SOMEWHAT WORRIED
Baltimorean Einda That the Warm
DajrtSof" August Are Better for
FlghteTa .Than Blixxard Season
WUl Work Down to 136.
(Jftunttl Special ScrrlM.) '
Tonopah. Nev. Dec. 29. With th
Oans-HOman fight buta few days
awaythe keenest excitement Is ram
pant in this oamp. Already people from
the outlying camps are arriving In Tono
pah to spend th holidays and watching
the two principals work and getting a
line on the respective merits of the
men. The training quarters, of neither
fighter are adequate for the accommo
dations of the Increasing crowd a,' and a
system of admission tickets has been
inaugurated to ' prevent, the spectators
from interfering with the work Of the
men. As the fight draws near there
Is quite a little comment on the fact
that Oans Is worrying greatly over his
weight The colored champion has been
working bard to reduce, but he ha not
found it as easy a task as he thought
Joe has been called on to greatly In
crease his work,-and he has taken on
that drawn and haggard expression that
wss so marked during bis last days of
training for the Nelson fight at Ooldf
field.. Of course, there is no need to
fear, for Joe not being on deck and
going tha. route, but there Is a great
deal of doubt expressed as to Joe being
aa strong as he waaat Ooldfleld.
. ' Hard to Bednee.
It will be remembered that 'Jo w
helped by the blasenlng rays of the
August sun in getting off th pounds
at Ooldfleld. ' Now It Is different Al
though a strong south breese has cleared
the hills and plains of snow, there is
a winter nip to the air, and nature being
kind and wise, decrees that this Is the
season when man shall retain his fight
for protection agslnst the chilling winds.
This Is why Joe ha found the reducing
process most sr-luous and why the
champion Is starting to get nervous bo
cauee of hi hard grind. "It's tougher
work to get down to 11 than I thought,
but I wlU be there just the same.' said
Oans today. "Will I be strong at tha
weight? Yes, I think I will be, at.
though It take more life away from a
man when . he I forced to reduce by
artificial means . than when he can get
out in the good sunshln' and bake out
that way; Still ths weight is emnlng
off, sven If It is hsrd to make it and
I'll be there with belle."
Of course. Xba's little speech la cheery
aad hopeful, out at th same time there
Is no getting away -from the fact that
the champion Is doing no Itttl worrying
over his bard wora. to show Just whst
la doing In this line, on can take hla
worjc of today. Joe has been going from
six to Slant mwes aauy on me-road.
This morning hs lengthened thla dis
tance out to 12 miles, and a great deal
of this wss used up In sprinting. When
th -champion rolled In from th road
he was soaking wet from perspiration
snd very tired. ' As soon aa ha ' got
through with his shower Jo went to
bed. where he rested for two hours-
la order that the rabble might hot
get on to-what straits he Is put to In
making the weight Jo worked behind
tightly closed doors In the afternoon.
Like the grand iurtaa.aad other secret
bodies, there was a leak, and It becarao
known that Jo put In a gruelling day
In his armnaslum. The fact of th mat'
ter 1 that Oans boxed 20 rounds of
three minutes' duration each, and-from
reports they were rattling faat The
champion alternated , with Lew Powell
and Kid 81ms. Hs told his sparring
mates to wad In, and they certainly
did.
Jo went through the .20 rounds in
grand 'style, and while Sims and Powell
were about all In, Joe was just a trifle
tired. It Is said that Joe will box 20
rounds each day for the next few days,
and then cut out the mitt work alto
gether, and let It be known that Joe
Oans 1s not the only man who Is work
ing hsrd In these parts. One Kid Her
man of Chicago Is more than whooping
things up, snd If any one thinks th
ghetto champ Is loafing they are sadly
mistaken. . .

PRACTISE BEGINS
" FOR SEATTLE
Multnomah Warriors Resume
Work in Preparation for New -Year's
Day Game.
S. A. C. COACH HAS A
FEW THINGS TO SAY
Cutta Statea That M. A.' A. C. Had
- No License to Defeat Hia Team,
and That the Next Contest Will
Prove Which Is Superior.
The Multnomah football squad turned
out last night for the first time since
the Christmas day game In Seattle and
went through an hour's practice. .The
only members of the team not present
were Martin Pratt and Bert Kerrigan.
Thes men received Injuries In the Se
attle game, and while they are not
serious they are of such a nature that
It was beat for ths game fellows ta
take a few days' rest In order to fully
recover.
Dow Walker, the giant tackle snd
center, was out and he worked like a
Trojan. He played In both position
during the evening and showed -up In
old-time form.' Carlson,- who played
center at Seattle, was there with the
necesssry ginger. Rupert did not put
in an appearance. Blsnchsrd wss out
stain and paaaed the ball well, as did
also Harry Lltt Tulley of the second
Multnomah joined the big squad and
nAT get a chance on New Year's day.
The final workout for Multnomah will
be held tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock
and every man on the squad Is orderej
to turn out.
eattl StUl Confident. V ;
That the Seattle team Is very con
fident of defeating Multnomah on New
Tear's day . is. best evidenced by the
stories that are appearing In the Seal
tie papera. The sound city fellows are
hard losers 'even if they srs graceful
about it lit Is a positive fact, how.
ever, that Seattle will Invade Portlar.'l
next Tuesday with the beat men. tlml
can be got together, arid deapttt)ielr-3
to 0 defeat they will put up a wonder
ful game in an endesvor to regain lost
laurels. Hera is what Coach Cutts said
about th last snd coming games:
"Of course I was greatly1: disap
pointed thr.t Multnomah was allowol
tO' score. They hsd no license to score,
and I had absolutely no fear that they
would make s touchdown. Their heavy
backs ripped up our line pretty freely,
but had we been forced Into the dan
ger son our line would have braced.
"As a mattt.r of fact Multnomah put
up a splendid game of the old-fashioned
style, I do not remember ever
-having seen a finer running and plunge
ing baea that l.onergan. hs was very
hard to atop, and I had some snxlout
moments every time he got th ball
running back a punt lest he get away.
but soma of the boys alwsys stopped
him, though It sometimes took two or
three to do 1L The Multnomah men
war In better shape than the Seattle
men, the result of longer training, and
they played hard and faat. .. . . , ,
James1 reat Xlek. s
"The effort of Bud 'James to drop-
kick- from M:o torty-flv line was a
magnificent on aad It cam dangerous
ly near being successful. I had no
idea that the man would try to drop
th bail over ths bar- front .that dis
18C3.
Of
tance. J-LIke most of 1 th others,' I
thought he was going to punt Ths
ball sailed high and true for th mark
and lacked only a Utile of carrying over
the bar. Had he made th drop-kick
from that distance It would have been
a feat worth remarking. A It wss tie
mad a splendid attempt and as it
afterward turned out that kick started
the mix-up which resulted In giving
Multnomah a victory.
"I wll try to get the boys out sev
eral nights this week. Just because we
were licked by a fluke last Tuesdsy I
do not think that Multnomah has any
thing on us nd we will fight them all
the harder next Tuesday In Portland.
Our men lacked actual work, and tho
practice they got iaat Tuesday will do
them a lot of good. We will give
Multnomah a hard fight New Tear's day,
and if they lick us they will know they
bsve been In a game.
. "Our fellows will have to turn out
regularly snd perfect some team work
If we are to make a showing tn Port
land, snd for that reason I want every
man on the squad out svery night a
call Is made for practice."
