(Cnlted PreM Leue Wtrs.) v' Grand Rapids. Mich.. Jan. 7.W111U Brltt, brother of Jimmy Britt, the Cal ifornia fighter, today began his new duties as manager of Stanley Ketchel. Joe O'Connor has been delaying on the Pacific coast too long for his business health and the name of Brltt appears on the sign board of the old firm of Ketchel & O'Connor. Incidentally, Brltt will go after Jack Johnson and endeavor to force the col ored champion into a fight with Stan ley. Ketchel received word today from Jo Woodman which placed him in no pleas ant frame" of mind. Stripped of date line and stgnatorial garnishment Wood man's proclamation reads: In behalf of Sam Langford I would like the privilege of replying to the ar ticle by Stanley Ketchel in this morn ing's "Examiner." Langford would like H to be understood that he has camped on Ketchel's trail and that he will try every way in his power to get a match with Ketchel before seeking a fight with any one else. PuMlo Wants Hatch. It is no use for Ketchel to cloud the Issue. The. public wants a Ketchel Langford fight and Langford Is deter mined the public shall get what It wants. After meeting and defeating Ketchel, as Langford feels capable of doing, Sam will be ready for Jack Johnson. He wants to fight Johnson and thinks that after Jlnl Jeffries he is the one most suited to meet Johnson. Neither Langford nor myself attach much weight to Ketchel's talk of fight ing Johnson. We think It one of Wil lie Brltt's little jokes. The idea of a comparatively small white boy like Ketone! tackling Jack-Johnson with his great height and over BO pounds differ ence In weight will not be taken in sincere faith by the public, I am Bure. Langford is hoping to hear something rational from Ketchel in the near fu ture and "tn the meantime" Sam will be as patient as he can. BIG CROWDWILL SEE WRESTLING Portland Fans Wonder If Peterson Is Xot Famous Charley Olsen. Neither snow nor cold weather will scare the crowd away from Exposition rink tonight, where the much heralded Kddle O'Conncll-Jack Peterson wrestling match takes place. Everything is in preparation for a rattling good bout, and the fans will witness the greatest match of- the year without a doubt. There has been some suspicion among the sports that Jack Peterson Is not Jack Peterson, hut the French-Canadian wonder. Charley Olson, rated ns one of the best man the TransmiHSissippl country has ever produced. O'Connell Ims never seen Peterson nor Olsen. and he fears that the man he is to meet tonight hr been sent out here by the eastern wrestlers to give him a good trimming. If the man Is Olsen, then O'Connell has much to fear. Olsen Is In a class with Fred Beell, Farmer Burns and the other light heavyweight wonders of the age. Olsen was sched uled to meet Beell next week, but there is a possibility that the French-Canadian was sent west to take a fall out of i lie Multnomah Instructor. Locally the fans had been Informed that Peterson a a blonde. Peterson certainly looked blondy enough when he got off the train yesterday, but when hs pulled down his overcoat collar and elevated his cap. It was noted that he had very dark hair and coal black eye brows. If Peterson is Olsen then there will bo such a battle in Exposition rink tonight as Portland's fans never dreamed of If Peterson Is Peterson In fact, then two of the cleverest and most evenly matched lightweights In the business will come together. Among the friends of Abernathy and Parker, the two preliminary men, in terest is at a fever heat. Both have been training nard for the match and there will be some tall rooting from meir respective sides. The preliminary will start at 8:30 o'clock and will continue for half an hour, Parker agreeing to throw Aber nathy twice in that period. At 9 o'clock the principals will go on, with Joe Acion as reieree. The skating rink management started the great heating plant at 10 o'clock this morning and by night the big hall will be as cozy and comfortable as any well regulated living room. The advance sale has been Quite heavy, considering the storm, and it Is believed that the crowd will be scarcely less than that which turned out at the Dwer-0'Connell match. BAT NELSON HANDS BURNS PRETTY BUNCH "Tommy Burns has the wrong dope," says Battling Nelson. "I notice in a cablegram he sent to Robert Edgren that he says: 'I had just as much chance as Nelson In his fight with Onns.' I suppose he is referring to the fight In which Referee Siler gave Gans the decision on a foul at ftoldfleld. If that is what Burns la talking about he is dead wrong. In my case I was danc ing around with my feet In the resin whila Gans had his nose in the resin. From the accounts of the big fight in Australia, Burns was wabbling "about with his nose in the powdered resin, while Johnson was dancing around with his feet In it. 'In my case, no reports said that I was weakening. " I was stronger than Gans. I was standing waiting for him to get up." From 1724.272,85 In 189S, the value or the. mineral products of the United States Increased to 2,06,28,196 in 1907. - CAUGHT ZW THE BAX Then a cold and a cough let It run on get pneumonia or consumption that's all.

(Cnlted We" Leied Wlre.i San Francisco, Jan. 7. The new class ification of the Pacific coast league with the added powers conferred upon the organization by the national com mission will permit the league to have six clubs during the coming season, ac cording to a well known baseball man here today. Heretofore the league In its desire to expand has been handicapped by the lack of enough good players to make up a strong six or eight club or ganization. The new classtf ioation will permit the clubs of the Pacific Coast league to draft from organizations beneath them and enough good players will become available to permit of a strong six or eight club organization. Nothing will be done In regard to changing the circuit until President Cal Ewlng returns from the east. Two new clubs, probably in Sacramento and Los Angeles, will be added In order to pre sent a stronger front to the outlaw state league. The drafting privileges are exten sive. The "AA" league has first call on all players drafted by the majors who fall to make good in the two big leagues. The Double A league Is also permitted to draft territory from the minors under certain conditions. Furth ermore the number of players carried in reserve by the major league clubs shall be limited.

The graceful one may be expected heresfter to appear on tho rialto In campus togs and one of these zephyr-swept kadles so much in vogue around the knowledge factories. Casey doesn't sound classy any more, so Pearl has been advising his Intimates to accent the last syllable, hoping there by that the pronunciation will become general. Walter MeCredie has submit ted the following touching lines on Pearl's renaissance: There was a young player named Case. With manner decidedly blase; He's no college highbrow, With hand tinted eyebrow. So those "rah" chaps must not be too sase. BLACK HAND THREAT TO SEATTLE WOMAN (United Press Leased Wlr.

The strongest bid made by the outlaw state leaguers for a plaver from the ranks of organ izaed baseball, is an offer of $25,000 for two seasons to Frank Chance, the fa mous first baseman and manager of the Chicago Nationals, according to a report here today. ' ' The attractive offer Was made by Danny Shay, representing a committee of Stockton business men. Chance said In reply that he could not give a definite answer until he had communicated with President Murphy of the Chicago club. Chance has been drawing a pretty big salary from the Cub management beside owning shares In the stock of the club, for which he has refused $40,000. Chance Is known to have asked more than Murphy has expressed himself as willing to pav, but It Is possible that he will accede to his first baseman's de mand rather than lose for Chicago her great baseman idol. J. Jeffries to go on the road in a box ing tour with Al Kaufman, according to the retired heavyweight champion's statement today. "I expect to hear from Billy Delaney In a few days and possibly I will bo able to give out a definite statement then." said Jeff. "Until I hear from him I cannot de cide whether or not to make a 12 week's tour with Al Kaufman, as his trainer suggests. "I haven't seen Delaney since Al met Jim Barry here. At that time he said something about the tour, but nothing was definitely settled." George Burns of Rlma, and H. Living ston or uemngnam; secona vice presi dent. J.

In the pres ence of a few relatives and intimate frJends of the contracting parties Bish op Canevin today performed the cere mony which made Miss Catherine, Vll sack. heiress to a fortune of $2, 000, 000, the bride of John F. Mulcahy, a noted athlete, politician and yachtsman of New York City. The wedding took place at noon in St. Paul's Cathedral, and was followed by a breakfast and reception at the home of the bride's sis ter, Mrs. Edward Fraunhelm. The marriage of Miss Vilsack and Mr. Mulcahy is the culmination of an interesting romance, which had Us be ginning at the St. Louis world's fair, where Mr. Mulcahy posd for the statue "Strength and Power," because of his magnificent physique. Mulcahy enjoyed national fame a few years ngo as an athlete. While a stu dent at Fordham college he won the Olvmpic sculling championship at 8L Louis with Varley, and the pair also took the Emperor William cup at Ham burg later.

DEALER COMMENTS OX COST OF KEEPING AUTO To the Editor of The Journal I desire to call your attention to an article which appeared in your paper of December 21, on the sporting and automobile page, which is headed as follows: "Five Hun dred Dollar Yearly Tribute Exacted by Garages." The writer of this article states "That for $500 one can store bis machine at a garage when not in use, oil it, clean It and polish it and perhaps replace an oc casional bolt that slips off. At the end of the year the owner's $&00 is gone, and if one has any smashups the cost for repairs must all be paid over and above that figure." The highest priced charge for the large seven passengerft-ars for storage, cleaning, polishing and oiling is $30 per month. This makes the maximum charge of the above mentioned $860 per year, while the ordinary five passenger car is charged $20 per month, which makes $240 per year. In regard to his statement about gas oline and the dealers making 4tl per cent profit, just at present we are paying 15U cents for gasoline, a year ago now I was paying 20 hi cents and selling it at the same price, as this price fluctuates from time to time. He also does not tnke Into consideration that this price means the gasoline put into the machine. We pav what we call a floor man about $0 a month for work of this character, besides the city regulations for the handling of gasoline compel us to put a certain kind of gasoline tank under ground with a certain kind of pump fur same, which outrit costs $300 snd up wards. Any driver of an automobile can buy gasoline from the Standard Oil com pany as cheap. as a dealer. He states that a set of tires must be purchased every time one runs 40no miles. The tire companies guarantee their tires for 3500 miles, which they would hardly b liable to do unless thev were sure they would run a great deal longer. H. J. Blaeslng of this city Informed me today that he had run his Reo car better than 10.000 miles since his purchase of same last March and that he had purchased one new tire. I sold 175 Reo cars in the northwest last vear, which are equipped with Michelin tires with a special r!m which necessi tated buying Michelin tires to fit this rim. There have been less than SO tires resold to replace the 700 tires with which these 175 cars ware equipped. He also states "That if one Is a busi ness man and does much running about one will have to buy four or five sets of tires a year.'- The above mentioned statement of Mr. Blaeslng will show how far off he was in this assertion. Besides. It Is. not necessary for an owner to. keep his r in a garage, and I will agree to furnish th names of SO automobile owners who have purchased their cars from me who hsve not spent in one season $t0 for rasollne. tires, repairs and everythlnr Included, and can mention a number who only .used their cur for pleasure the same as tney wouia use a horse and buggy, whose expense has not been to exceed $100 for the sea- . . - r . . 1 , V" Jt" T T J1 J c U A. il-., i' I" 1 , Automobiles.

RED HOT GOSSIP FOR RABID FANS Tim Murnane has Invented a batters' box that canhoi be erased by the slld ding players. The lines are made of rubber and will help the umpires by savlnr them the trouble of marking the box lines about 57 times during the game. The Cotton States league has offered $50 prlie for the best playing sched ule. Ladies are eligible to enter the contest. It Is likely that Thursday and every other Sunday afternoon will have a big lead in the days suggested for the best games. Hofman. the Cubs' utility operator, who pulled out some Tiger hairs last fall, Is giving interviews at his home town. lie declares that Chance Is the biggest man in Chicago and. Ihat Chi cago would never stand far his quitting. Though the leader and Murphy had a little tiff, Artie says that Frank will he back at the helm when the spring showers come. Says Garry Herrmann of Clark Grif fith: "He appears a little different from any of the other managers that I have had to deal with inasmuch as his sug gestions amount more to a request than anything else, and his earnestness Is convincing to an extreme.

Garry. . , Johnny Evers. second bgaeman of ths Chicago Nationals, should have no trou ble In gratifying his desire to coach a college team next year. Among base ball players and experts Evers ft rated as being one of the bralnest men in the business. He can make plays and he can tell how they should be made. The college team which gets Evers runs little chance In making a mistake In coaching the "Rah! Rah!" boys. Evers should be as successful as Arthur Irwin. . Arthur Irwin tells a good story about the Tanken recruit Vl!r, who did some good work for his team near tha end of last season. The Yankees were playing Detroit. There was a man on second, one on third and two out. Ty Cobb was at bat, with Wilson in the box, and Conrov whispers to Wilson: "Walk him or he'll break up the game." Wilson, unsophisticated, wanted to know who Cobb was and what licenite he had to be walked. "I tell you what I'll do," said the re cruit: "I'll strike htm out." Wilson made good his statement and Conroy thinks he has a find. Joe Collins, the Santa Clara college ' Alexander, Maine, Is largely from deadly boy, who played the outfield for the : disease.

The service I ren der Is entirely unlike and better than the or dinary. I have devised new and scientific methods of treating men's diseases in all their phases. I cure cases that others can not cure, and cases that others can cure I cure in less time and without pain or possi bility of injury. All my forms of treatment have been perfected along the lines of na ture's requirements and are in exact harmony with the natural recuperative forces. There fore, my cures are painless, prompt and thor ough. Contracted Disorders The serious results that may follow neg lect of contracted diseases could scarcely be exaggerated. Safety demands an absolutely thorough cure In the least possible time. I have treated more cases of contracted disor ders than any other physician upon the Pacif ic coast. My cures are thorough and are ac complished in less time than other forms of treatment require in producing even doubt ful results. I employ remedies of my own devising, and my treatment is equally effec tive in both recent and chronio cases. I Treat Men Only The vast multitude of men who have taken mv treatment have not been disappointed. They know that I do not promise more than r perform. To them I have actually illus trated in the cure of their own cases the truth of what I claim, namely that my treat ment Is as certain to cure As It Is that my patient engages my services and follows my directions. My success Is due not alone to ed ucation, experience, skill and scientific equip ment, but to the fact that 1 limit my study and practice strictly to diseases and weak nesses of men.
