Ran Francisco, May 1. Now that
Stanley Ketchel, the Montana whirl
wind, has removed Jack (Twin! Sulll-
vait from the path which ha ta treading
? toward th middleweight goal, he la
fulling every wire to get on with Billy
papka In a long bout at tha Mleslon
traet arena. Ketchel realix that
Pepke la tha man whom he muat beat
In order to clinch hla right to tha title.
Ha baa practically put tha crusher on
very one else In Ms class and ahould
h manage to diapos of Papke, h will
htra to aay farewell to tha middle
weight and wade In after tha heavies.
" Joe O'Connor, Ketchel manager, la
at present In Milwaukee striving to
bring Papka to tarma. They have bean
at It for three daya now. and there la
- nothlnr atartllng yet However tha
match la an attractive bna and aa both
men reallae that there la a lot of money
In It for tnem no matter which way the
tide of victory turna. It looks like an
even money bet that the will agre to
, rome together here before many weeka
tPaptehae' dona all his fighting In and
around Milwaukee and la very popular
there. He like the 10-round game and
naturally, ha is holding out for a bout
of that kind in the beer city. Ketchel
on- the other hand likes th long route.
He jraine a name for himself in Cali
fornia when ha fought that memorable
JO-round draw with Joe Thomas last
Fourth of July. Two montha laten. he
stowed Thomas away in It rounds at
- Col ma and immediately became famous.
Since that time Ketchel haa done all
Ills fighting at the Mlaalon-atreet arena.
In eight montha, he managed to clean
up about ie.0O n puraea ana on if
He was returned a winner every time

which should draw more money than
any mill the town ha known since
Brltt and Oana figured In the widely
heralded ulna fight at tha ball park last
.. September. '
Ketchel and his manager are great
. fellows for looking after the bonus
i every time they sign up with an oppo
1 nent. Not only do. they sting the pro
moters for a bit. but they Invariably
get a rake off from the man whom
Ketchel go against For Inatance.
.the Ketbel-SuHlvan affair draw $11.
101 at the door. Of thla amount Ketchel
received M0. while the beat Bull! van

Nioua and after that, he got to Bulllvan
for a I per cent cut of the fighter s

WHIPPING UP TO CATCH THE LEADERS
JACK SLATTERY IS
COAST
CATCHER ANOTHER MIKE DONLIN
Jack Slattery, the Oakland catcher,
nontinuea to be the sensation of the
Pacific coast baseball world and the
way ha has been and still Is tearing the
cover off the ball has put fear In the
heart of every pitcher In the league.
At the preaent time, Slattery is clout
ing the ball at just about a .410 clip.
Not since the days when the artful
Mike Doniln claved with the old Santa
Crux team of the California league had
any hatter been known to line em out
like Slattery. He sure . looks Ilka the
grandest sticker we ever saw here, for
ne hits ail kinds 0t pltchere to every
field. If they play in close, he lined
them over the outfielders' heada for
doubles. He never makes triple or
home runs for the reason that he Is the
laxlest base runner in the league and
always neems content to let the long
cnea go for two baggers.
They are beginning to retrench in
Oakland. Yesterday afternoon the blue
envelopes were slipped to Pitcher Ed
die Quick and Catcher Daaher Dash
wood. Quick la a good pitcher and re
ally did not get an even break thla sea
son. He only twirled 13 Innings. In
variably going In to relieve some
pitcher who had already lost the game.
11 la likely that Quick will go to work
for the Angels. Hen Berry likes his
style and as he la In need of a pitcher,
he may sign Quick up when the south
ern team returns to this city.
Berry had a chance to sell Dolly Gray
to th Boston Americans for $4,000 last
week. They warned the big Angel
southpaw or in fact any big southpaw
so badly back In the hub city that they
are willing to give up moat any old
price. Fred Lake, th Boston scout,
was sore when Berry refused to part
with Gray, for he figured that the An
gel magnate would Jump at the chance
to sell him.
"I'll get him anyhow," retorted Lake,
"for I will be right on the Job when the
drafting season opens and I'll draft him
17IELDERS WORKING
Tennis Enthusiasts Prepar
ing Tournaments Which
Will Settle Dispute.
Plana foe th tennis season this year
ar rapidly coming to fruition and
it . is expected that by the middle cr
latter part of thi week the chairmen
of th tournament committees of the
Irvington and Multnomah clubs will
Oiave completed tb outlines ror the
season s playing. .
Th bad weather of 'last week put
all th clay court in such soft con
dition that playing ha been out of
th question. Whll -th actual work
of wielding the racquet has suffered,
the committees have been hard at work
and have nearly completed the dates
for th northwest and- state tourna
ment. '
. Th first tournament of the season
will ; be : th Irvington club handicap
open to members of the lub, which
will begin. Saturday. Mar 0, and will
take about two weeks to run off. There
will be first and second prises in each
event, although the usual consolation
prlre will be omitted this, year. The
events of .the tournament -are: Ladles'
handicap, singles; ladles' handicap,
doubles; men's handicap, singles; men's
handicap, , doubles; mixed ' handicap,
doubles. 1 --.!-'
The men' handicap single carries

if I never draft another man in my life
and l 'ion t care whether he manes good
or not."
"All sight, go ahead' and draft your
head off," responded Berry. "Gray is
aolng to work for me till tha season is
out Then if I lose him, I will go Into
the bushes and' dig up a better south
paw. They raise the likes of Gray all
along tha beach near Ban Diego.
It looks as though the six-club cir
cuit will be the ono next season. Presi
dent Ewing has already granted Ed
Kripp. th Sacramento sporting man,
the oDtlnn on the Sacramento franchise.
So confident is Kripp that everything
will be all right that he haa gone ahead
and signed contracts for the grading
and fixing tip of a tract of land In the
heart of the Capital City which he pro
poaea to transform into one of the
swellest baseball parks that California
has ever known.
Kripp i very -wealthy and for this
i-pumn hn la not asking the league for
one cent He is a live one. He owned
th old Sacramento club when It won
tha rvonnant. in 1899 and' 1900 and ran
second In 1801, th last season that San,
Francisco ever got away wun tne ima;.
Kripp developed auch well known stars
on Truck Eagan, Charley Doyle, Mike
Donlin. "Silent" Harveji Chart ey Gra
ham, Jimmy Whalen, Bill Hanlon. Jay
Hughes and a nost or otners. ne snows
baseball and if he gets in right he will
tnakn the arn.m hum in Sacramento.
Of course, ther is no chance for
Sacramento to break in unless some
northern city is added to the list Sw
ing and his followers still hope away
down in their hearts that they will be
able to coax Seattle back Into the fold.
Though they will not admit it all the
wise fana know full well that Ewlng
la working overtime right now to bring
about thia deal. Many a lively tfcrap
will follow if the present plana of the
campaign are carried out, but In the
event that everything goea right a fin
six-club league will be formed an then
the Pacific coast will have a circuit
that will do It Justice. ...
come th permanent property of th
holder.
The" northwest tournament, th event
of the season, will be atarted with
the Multnomah club Friday, July 14,
and the entries will close the previous
Saturday. The opening will be played
on the Multnomah courts.
The committee on tournaments for
the Irvington club, which Includes V.
H. V. Andrews, chairman; Dan I. Bal
Unger. Ernest Cawston, W. A. Gosa, A.
B. McAlpln. Irving Rohr, W. K. Scott
James Snlves, B. Wickersham, R. Wild
er and N. F. Woodard, will meet to
morrow to arrange for the state tourna
ment and expect to complete all tha de
tails for the summer playing during
the week. The commute will meet
Monday, Tuesday and Saturday.
According to Mr. Andrews the out
look for a successful seaaon ha nevt-r
been better. There are an unusual
number of good players in both the
Irvington and Multnomah clubs this
year and the interest In tennis has
never been greater It has apparently
more than regained Its old place as
the most fashionable of games. Owing
to the continued bad weather of the
spring months the season haa been
backward and the players have been
able to get but little practice work in
so far. A faw good day, however,
would place all the courta in excellent
shape for playing. . -

PORTLAND SHOTS
OFF TO TOURHEY
Local Trap Experts Expect
to Win Individual and
Team Trophies.
The advance guard of trap shooters
who will represent Portland at the
Northwest . Sportsmen's tournament
which opens in Walla Walla Tuasday
for a four days' meeting, left the
Rosa City yesterday. Frank Howe de
parted on the morning train for Pen
dleton, where he stayed last night, and
W. E. Carlon, W. W. Caldwell. J. E.
Cullison, Mose Abrams and F. W. Wag
ner left last night for the Garden City.
Others may decide to go at the last
minute but out of these will be se
lected the quintet to contest for the
Northwest Team trophy.
It Is a matter of general regret among
local sportmen that A. J. Winters or
this city, cannot go to the tournament
thla year. This veteran medal winner
win be obliged to stay behind on ac
count of bualnes-i obligations.
No shooter In th northwet is bet
ter known than Mr. Winters. During
the last 23 years he has been among
the foremost marksmen In the country
at a hundred different tournaments. H
won the blue ribbon event or the shooting-
world in 1895. when he captured
the Globe trophy. The same year he
won tne mgn average cnarapionanip at
Portland and won the Oregon champion
ship medal at La Grande.
Winters won the high average trophy
of the Portland Rod and Gun club Iat
year and is present noider or tne t
D. Inman trophy. He won a specially
deserving victory In this event as he
was pitted against 'E. E. Ellis, the
champion shooter of Seattle, beating the
aound man by one bird. Hi score was
48 out of a possible 60.
It Is the opinion of all who have
seen Frank Howe snoot this year tnat
he is In better form than he haa ever
been before. His friends confidently
expect him to carry off the individual
cnamplonshlD medal at Walla -i Walla
next week. Frank has been training for
mis tournament ror some time and nis
work at the traps haa surprised even
those who know him well.
Howe made a score of 97 out of 100
In practice last week, shooting at birds
sprung from unknown angles and h4
broke 25 straight In the rpvers pull.
Mr. Howe ha not been eligible to the
amateur class until this year so he
has been kept out of the trophy shoot.
Fred E. Wagner is an old trap
shooter who has some creditable per
formances on his record list at eastern
traps. J. E. Cullison Mose Abrams, W.
W. Caldwell and W. E. Carlon are
shooters who will never be found be
low the 90 per cent column In the gen
eral average record.
From these men five ought to be se
lected to make up a team from Port
land that should have little difficulty
In taking away the team trophy from
Wheatvllle. The present team trophy
ia neia dv enoaane.
- With the Portland shooters also went
C. H- Hayte and C. H. Collier of San
Francisco, who are maklnar the long

city. Mr. Collier will make hi head

MARVELOUS JOE GANS
GRADUALLY GOING BUND
-Pesplt hi easy victory and splendid
showing against Rudolph Unholx. th
Boer fighter whom h knocked out in
the eleventh round, last Thursday night
In; San Francisco,- Joe Gans is going
blind, ' .
Tha eyesight of th wonderful negro
who for li yara ha been 'a mighty
figure In the prls ring; 1 gradually
becoming afflicted. . He knows It. but
taugns needlessly. v -
"I can whlD anv' of them doing' bust
nesa now with only on eye. s what's
tne us or worrying," n maintains.
Harrv Tuthill. at n resent trainer for
the Detroit Tiger, who trained Young
ururo, uorDett, Moucvtrn ana many
other famous boxara of note, ia author
ity for the statement that th black
champion eyesight la weakening.
"I met him down east some weeks
ago," declares Tuthill, "and noticed that
ha could not ae verv well. I com
mented on It and he admitted that his
sight was weak. Gans is pretty well
fixed now and he apparently Intend to
clean up -all th money in sight before
It becomes too late."
So it Is that th first sign of age is
shown In thla physically wonderful man,
who has seen the greatest of fighters
pass to leav him alone, conqueror or
all his class. He admit frankly that
he ia nut with tha Idea of making OS

"Joe Gana la the srreat wonder of th
athletic world today." maintained Tut

constitution of any athlete I. have ver
studied and I have seen them all.
Other men have lasted not so long
as Joe Gans, perhaps, yet almost as
long put tney always loon care di
themselves. Joe Gans never did until
recent years, H has gone hungry many
and many a day, he Has been punished
In the ring, and ho. has suffered from
every form of illness ordinary mankind
suffers from. He has enjoyed himself
with every excess money could secure.
He haa aona through the mill until
made wise by age, and still retains all
his vitality and strength. He says he
could whip any of them now with one
eye. Joe could take any of thera and
beat them with -half an eye.
"I knew Joe GanS before he atarted
on his remarkable career as a fighter.
Ha knew nothing about the science of
the game and Tie could not hit He
waa Just a. fast young kid. From that
he slowly developed until today, bar
ring his eyesight,' he 1 better than he
CVC1 WAS. '
"W took Young Griffo to Baltimore
when Gans was just attracting notice
and put him against the present cham
pion. It was agreed before the fight
started that Gans waa not to be
knocked out. Griffo went at him In
his usual style, but Just tapped him.
" 'Is that the way you fought La
vlgneT' yelled someone from the gal
lery. INo answered Griffo, Tier la th
way I fought him.'
Tor Into Joseph.
"What followed waa as wonderful an
exhibition as I have ever witnessed In
the prize ring. Griffo tore Into Gans
with what appeared to be just a storm
of blows, but he was so clever that, al
though everyone In the house tnought
he was dealing the negro sad punish
ment he was hardly tapping him. He
was hitting Gana where he wanted to
and as often as he wanted to. The
crowd In the gallery began yelling to
him to hit Gans- In certain parts of his
body and he would respond by doing so.
" 'Spank him, yelled one, and he
turned the Negro around and spanked
him. t
"No fighter but this Griffo could ever
have done It he was tha most wonderful
of all boxers, bar none. And he could
never do it after that. So adept a stu
dent was Gans that he learned almost
every .move Griffo made. That trick
Gans has now, for instance, of making a
false lead, only to move his head back
and let the blow pass his face, was
taught him In that battle. The greatest
of all boxers he went against and he
soon had almost every thing Griffo
knew bv heart. All that lad's wonder
ful ability to lead and duck. Gans picked
up. He did not have it until after that.
"If Gans cared to he could analyzo
his entire style of fighting and show
you where every trick of the art he
