London, Feb. 15. It 1 on to Ireland

champion Is to meet Jem Roche, the
ehampkm of Ireland, at the Theater
Royal, Dublin, on St. Patrick's day, and

' Moat gratifying to the, promoters of the

, the peerage and other society men have
engaged aeata to sea the mill, and It
'' la stated that more than one lady of
. high degree will watch the two giadi
" ators battle for the world's champlon-
ship.
It may be said that fight promoters
on this side the water are tnoroughly
alive to their ability to charge ana re
, eelve big prices for an opportunity to
, see a world's championship fight. In u
recent advertisement of the Burrm-
Roche go, 1 find this scale of charges
tor the Theatre Royal event.
State seats, lb 6s; boxes (to hold 7).
xrom tl ifts; arena circle, is 8a,

This Is the equivalent of 27.B0 for
a ringside seat and 17.60 for a place In
the tup gallery, and a month before the
fight the lower-priced .seats all were
sold. It Is confidently believed that
there will not be an unsold seat In the
ao use on the night of the fight.
. This beats grand opera and Indicates
that British fight promoters have noth
ing to learn along this line from their
akrewd cousins across the water.

" I notice that there is a good deal of
discussion and more or less difference
, of opinion In the states as to the
: welgiita of the different classes of
ttghtera. Here Is the Kngllsh scale
as laid down for the championships

palace on April 16:
Bantam. H stone. 4 nnnil (nni tn
; 11 pounds); feather, I) stone (124
pounds): light, 10 atone (140 pounds);
iniddle, 11 atone, 4 pounds (168 pounds);
heavy, any weight.
These weights govern the fighting
game here, end there is little disput
ing over weights. Perhaps the fight
ing men ef the states might learn
something from thU aide in thla line,
even it the Kngllsh fighters seem un
b!a to stand up against the American.
Going back to the Burns-Roche fight
It may be Interesting for Americana to
know the terms of the match.

It is hardly likely that the challenge
or the American Intercollegiate Ath-
letlc association for an international
meet will be accepted by the English

the Oxford University Athletlo associa

It was decided to consult with Cam
bridge concerning the challenge, but the
lee ling in Oxford is strong against ac
a ceptlng the challenge.
The recent death of that fine, all
; round sportsman and athlete, "Joss"
Redcliffe, recalls, perhaps, one of the
most remarkable sporting feats on rec-
oNI, of which Radcliffe was the hero.
He waa an exceptionally good man In
. all classes of sport. When over 43
: years of age, he backed himself to run,
wim, row, ride a horse and ride a
bicycle a Quarter of a mile each
i event and all within a quarter qX an
I hour. He woo with something in hand.
The times In which the various events
were accomplished will long stand as a
record.- They follow: .-
Sowing, 1 minute -4 3, seconds; swlm
g, 6 minutes St seconds; fastening
en shoes, 63 seconds; running, 1 min
ute 63 seconds; cycling and horsema'n
; ehlp together, t minutes 40 seconds; to-
i minutes; tune won oy, s minutes it

That Salem will be in the Tri-CIty
league before the season opens seems
certain. Watt Shipp. the Capital City
magnate, who will hold the Salem fran
chise, came down with the Elks' excur
sion and spent the greater part of Fri
day figuring with the Oregon Electric
Railway company for the exclusive use
of a floe tract of ground for a ball
park.
The plan Is to erect a fine grand
stand and clubhouse and enclose the
grounds with a high tight board fence.
The grounds will be ample and are lo
cated on the carllne within a few mo
ments' ride of tha heart of the city.
Considerable enthusiasm has been man
ifested by the Salem fans who want
organized Dan again, saiem at one time
was one of the best towns ln the Ore
gon Btate league and will loyally sup
port a in-t,ity league team.
Mr. Shlpp has not signed any talent
as yet. but is willing to listen to the
applications of players ror places on
the Salem team. He states that he will
try 'to have a pennant winner when he
enters the field.
The negotiations for grounds which
are now pending will come to a defi
nite understanding this coming week.
Secretary Smith of the Tri-CIty re
ceived a letter from T. N. Kennedy, the
Woodburn magnate, stating that Wood
burn fans would support Saturday ball
this season, and that the outlook was
much brighter than last season for at
tendance at both Sunday and Saturday
ball.
Jack Helsor and Arthur Pender, who
will own the Vancouver team ln the
Trl-CUy league this year, are leaving
no stones unturned to have everything
In readiness for tho opening of the
league season In April. They have prac
tically closed a deal for grounds close
ln on the carllne and are signing up
players. Helser reports that the fans
hall with Joy the establishing of a Tri
City league team in Vancouver and the
proposition "looks good to him."
C. A. Partlow, who has the Oregon
City franchise, is working quietly,
rounding up players for his team, and
is meeting with success in finding them.
The Oregon City ball park will he put
in condition as soon as the weather will
permit, and the team ordered out for
practice.
There will be a great crop of ball
tossers trying for positions on Trl-Clty
league teams this season. Secretary
Smith has 2d applications from players
who are anxious to cavort in Tri-CIty
uniforms and every man prings in rou
or five. These applications are re
fori- to the leasrue managers as the
come in. There is no doubt but some
good talent may be picked up.
