Former Portland Favorite .Playing With League Stars First Picture Printed in Portland Since Jeff's Return How would you. like to see Jones, . whom Portland now . claims as her own, In a baseball uniform next Bunday afternoon In the Philadelphia or the all-star lineup? It would seem mighty good to hundreds of the dyed in the woof . ' , Ever Blnoe It was announced several days ago that the bis leaguers would -surely play T-lalP-orlanjaL..e8.tber.perr mltting, next Saturday and Sunday, In formation has been asked of thla P'- fleeaB-to whether the former peerless I game so that wa cajy gee our big league leader of the Chicago Americans and acknowledged 1 as the greatest center fielder of the age, would not bo one Of - : Portland fans have been - desirous of seeing fielder Jones In action in a full : fledged j?amo ever since he took up his residence here last winter to engage In .' the timber business. He haa been seen in a uniform but once, donning it for I sweet7 charity's sake. The play - -was such that tha fans could not see him at bis best, although he scintillated bril liantly in tha -field. He has mora ad mirers than even he dreams about here In Portland. . Occasion Appropriate One. Fielder owes it to them to give them a glimpse of him In the last same of the year. It will probably be tha last time that he ever puts on a uniform, and what would be more- ap propriate than that It should be dona in his adopted home. The famous baseball leader has not been sounded on tha subject 'Ha Is a prince of good fellows, and there Is no doubt In tha world but that ha would; play If. approached. If the MoCredles ! want to make a hit with the people they can do It In no better way than to in vite Fielder to take bis old position In center field. Frank Bancroft, who Is managing tha tour of the All-Stare, would .like nothing better than a chance .tfl-Mve. Fielder Jn.. suit inthe game. ''Isn't there some way that Fielder Jones might be given a position In the favorite?" 'Writes one correspondent. Wants to Baa Old Stunt. Another writes: "Now is tha oppor- 1 X Jt I I .L. r. b. , T i hope the managers will make soma ef fort to set him to play, I know a soore of fans who would go to the game for nothing else than fco see Fielder pull off soma of his old stunts in that oenter garden.. There was none better wben it came to fielding his position." "Will you use what Influence you have with the baseball - people to see i thai we get a glimpse of Fielder Jones play in one of the major league exhibi tion games, preferably the Sunday game?" Is a request from another source. ' - For the benefit of hundreds of just such admirers It is hoped that the base ball people will invite Fielder to take part in one of the games, and that the great player will satisfy their desires by conceding to their wishes.

It will alao.be a test of football strensth between the east and the west sides of the city. Last season tha newly organised C T. M. C. team was presented the fans for the first time as a light fast peppery eleven and they made a favorable im pression before the season had passed. The team was coached by Ray Ken nedy, an old hand at the same and wnen tney went ' against Multnomah, they put up a strong battle, although defeated I to 0. The touchdown of tha Winged M was. made In the last two minutes of play. Multnomah formerly relied on Its vet erans to bring victory to the pioneer ciutj, but this season they ar repre sented by strong, young, gingery play ers who have a variety of plays that are proving a revelation to athletic club playing. They are using the forward and double paaa with sreat success. The ends are circled and line bucklns Is also strong point In their offense. Cherry, Latourette. Moores, Stott Lndlam. Carlson snd Jordan are players or recognised ability and should round out Multnomah's work to perfection. Teams Praetloe Klfttty. . Like Multnomah, ' Coach Ed Dowllns of tb C T. M.

The Journal today presents Its read' ers with the first picture printed in Portland since the return of the man who has set the sport loving world asog James J. Jeffries. Today in New Tork Jeffries and Johnson are discuss- In s the terms of tbe coming fight, and the result will probably be flashed to the waiting public in a rew hours. Since his return Jeffries', stock has been slven an Immense boost When the fans gaze on the face of the un beaten white- man his stock will be boosted 'yett higher. The camera tells no falsehood. The picture of the broad shouldered Slant on the right is that of Jeffries. The big fellow on the left is Sam Ber ser, his manager. ' Between them is Willis Gallagher, who haa a four round bout with the retired , champion f&t the Seamen fund. . Jeffs face wears It serious look. Some body probably has just mentioned Jack Johnson's name. Once upon a time Johnson licked Jeff's brother, and he has nursed a deadly hatred for the black champion ever since that hour.. There are creases In his cheeks -the fighting .crease of the old (fay. Ills cheekbones look as If tney ar ready to burst through the skin. Jeff trained bard over there at Carls bad trained harder than anybody knew. He weighed 220 pounds when he boarded the steamer for the trio home. He weighed close to 250 when he left. Jeff says It took him a long time to get . into condition, but now he Is as good as he ever was. lie 4s lighter by 20 pounds than he ever Was when solus Int training. He say he can set ready to fight in 10 days and a glance at his picture will cause one to believe him. In every particular he Is ' the Jim Jeffries of six years ago the Jim Jef fries who waded through all of them to the top. There is not a trace of the veranda that he carried away from Los Angeles some : nine month ago. He breathea as easily as a Marathon run ner. ' Those powerful shoulders of hi are as heavily muscled as ever In hi life and they slope away to narrow hips. There is not an ounce of fat on hi bis, sturdy less. .- He looks and acts like tbe flghtlns machine he once was. That Is the way the boxers who will take part In the first smoker of the Rose City Athletic club will loom up for their exhibitions tonight and the 26 rounds of clever mitt work are bound to be well received by the members of the popular- organization. It will be the first refreshing entertainment of th kind In many moons and the seats In Exposition rink are bound to creak with their load of humanity. . All the principals in the smoker quit their training yesterday and wl! weigh In at- 3 o clock this afternoon. Brown and O'Keef will tin the beams at 154 pounds, while Scaler and Harrison will weigh In at 130 pounds, according to their pledge to each other.
