'' on Jeffries condition ind after reading the United Press dispatches Fits thought Jeff was In prime condition. Mrs. Fltzsimmons then took a hand and said; "In Australia It's all John son. The odds are 6 to 5 in his favor. , But they 'are poor Judftes of flphters.1 Their Ideal Is Bill Squires, and simply because Johnson handled Tommy Burns so easily they are convinced that he cannot be beaten." Slavln, one of Fltz"s first friends to greet him when he stepped down the gangplank, cannot understand how Johnson can lose. "You must remember Johnson's youth, his elasticity, his cleverness anci his strength," expostulated Slavin in the midst of a sharp exchange of verbal fireworks with Fits. . "But you forget Jeffries' endurance, his persistency and his aggressiveness." Then Fits . told why he thought Jeff woud win. Johnson was a splendid de fensive fighter. Ha was rather a hard man to get, but he never was one to force hostilities. Jeff, on the other local showhouse. Cricketers Have Annual Dinner.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE i Qmm fet Site The mass meeting tonight ; at tho Portland theatre ,1s the event of Bojr week., Testerday's proclamation bear ing the command of the boy mayor that all shall come who have let themselves be young again, in spirit tf not In years, caused .no. surprise, though it was un expected. ' Planar for- Its holding grew out of, the warm 'enthusiasm caused by; personal contact with the boy situation In Portland.- Therefore It seemed an entirely natural thing that the formal program be set; alde and , the great, meeting heldU -y-,;::;:. j J s'The Idea la; Jo. set squarely befpre, the friends of boys in Portland Just what work among and for boys means.' Major Peixotto will tell how work for boys not only helps them, but helps the work ers. He. with Father ' McDevttt and other stirring speakers, does not ' deal In cheap sentiment or platitudes. ' He demonstrates success. ;. - I , ' Xnowledgv Out of Fun. y' , From Major Pelxottd's standpoint suc cess is embodied In his remarkable boys of the Columbia Park, Boys' ilub who can sing better, play better, and put up a better exhibition of athletics, baseball or vaudeville, than any set of boys ever before seen in Portland. Tet they are not unusual boys in the sense of re markable ability. They are boys who have been learning things while they had good times, and it Is this combina tion of fun and learning that it is de sired to establish in Portland. ' The Columbia Park boys have made a rallying place of their club house. Port land boys have no rallying place. Their friends wish to establish one for them. Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Chapln and Ralph Hoyt have been having the newsboys, 200 of them, meet down in the People's Institute, .on Burnslde , street Here there Is neither equipment nor attract ive surroundings. With all their devo tion they have not been able to hold the boys. -', Heed Equipment. -- "We have been working with plenty of material, but no equipment," said Mr. Chapln. "We get our boys togeth er and we are thrilled with their possi bllltles for citizen making, yet we are not able to hold them together for lack of attractive features. A boy is a red blooded animal with a mind and a heart He is the most loyal and affecttonata and the most uncontrollable of - all creatures. Time, thought, affection, are better Invested in boys than anywhere else. But we must remember boyf like to play, to exercise. You must exercise them In mind. and body,, too. Such a combination Is irresistible. We have the best native talent in the country right here in Portland,; but so far we haven't had the equipment" Mr. Chapin's words explain the ambi tion that actuates the promoters of to night's rally. , They want the people to have contact with the situation. They want the enthusiasm of those who have this contact to spread and - increase throughout the city, - They want to have the help of all who are friends to the boys in making arrangements for big ger work. ..- i ' Expect Good Attendance. ' From the Interest already shown and the fact that the call for the mass meet ing was the outgrowth of this interest, a big attendance tonight has been as sured. The Portland theatre will be thrown open to all who come and there is no charge for admission. - The ad dresses will be from men who have pow er and who have faith In the merits of the boys cause. Music will be furnished by the Columbia Park boys.. - - xne newsooys ana Columbia Park boys played ball yesterday, and today the newsies ere, ead, for they were beat en to the tune of 17 to J. Many of the newsies witnessed the vaudeville of the Columbia Park boys at the Portland theatre last night , They came away de termined to learn to do as well them selves. Those who are most interested in Boys' week are the boys themselves. insrirm Imii ii i hi i mi I iiirj lit) rtitffffW !CM Ami MjTrry Portland Newsboys' baseball team, Columbia Park Boys' band as they ' appeared yesterday afternoon.
