Only Jap Shooter at Local Traps
The Portland Gun club Is one of the
few if not the only pun club in the
I'nlted States which can boast of having
a Japanese shooter In its list of mem
bers. T. Noguehl is the Japanese mem
ber of the Portland club and he Is an
enthiisiuwtlc trupsman.
Noguclil formerly belonged to the In
gleside Gun club of San Francisco and
quit that organization when he went
back to Japan four years ago. Since
returning from Japan, Noguclil has had
very little practice but has made some
very good scores.
Christmas day at the local traps, No
guclil made the score of 81 out of a
possible inn. Severn 1 other times lie
lias made scores In the eighties and as
soon as lie can get1 more practice he
should develop Into one of the top
notchers of, the elyb
Noguehi fi'uH ordered one of the high
est price guns of special construction
and when it arrive the little brown
marksman is confident mt he will be
able to make much better scores.
One of the vetetan !neiiitcrn of the
club remarked the other day that ho
Is full of sj.orting blood and stands up
at the traps like a real expert with a
shotgun.

London. Dec. 30. Far he It from me
to decry In any degree the prime Im
portance of blood In thoroughbred stock.
If one thing hns been demonstrated it
is that heredity counts beyond almost
anything else in the breeding of race
horses, but once In a while there comes
one of those exceptions which make

Here Is the story of the mother of
Isinglass:
Lord Arlington was what Is known
as "a champion kidder." Captain Mach

at Crlchel and. professing to admire
one of the mares said, "Now, there's
a mare that Is worth 600 of anybody's
money." Captain Machel playfully an
swered, "I will glva you 20," and to
his surprise Lord Arlington aaid, "She's
yours." Captain Machell was by no
means keen on the purchase, even at'
that, and said that he must have a
sov. for "luck pennyt" and this waa at
once given him.
This is the short and simple story
of the purchase of Deadlock as told

New York Dec. 30. If It wasn't sur
passed In 1911. It was at least ap
proached so closely that It trembled
with of annihilation, nnd this applies
to every sporting record in the book.
It has been an unusual year, the one
that comes to a close at midnight to
morrow a most unusrual year. It was
a banner one in every line of sport.
Throughout the entire gamut of eom-
' petitive events, from boxing to bil
; lianis, baseball to wrestling, golf to
i auto racing, there were noteworthy per
i forniances recorded.
Baseball being considered generally
as the particular hobby of Uncle Sam's
children. Is entitled to first considera
tion. And there is nobody who can
deny It was as eventful year for the
"most uncertain of all games." Kxcit
ing pennant races were fought out in
both the big leagues, and this was also
true of practically all of the minors. The
world's series, while tainted with more
or less ticket scandal, was neverthe
less a memorable one, and Connie Mack
desrerves all the credit that he receives
for the great battle his legions put up
against the Giants. The world's series
of 1911 is rendered all the more Import
ant by the fact that It may be the
"last of the Mohican." the squabble be
tween the two leagues appearing Just
now to have sounded its death knell.
Cobb Leads Diamond Stars.
Ty Cobb, of the Detroit Tigers, cam
Justly lay claim to the supremacy as
an Individual all around valuable dia
mond star. The men who voted him the
automobile knew what they were do
ing. Without considering those most
elusive of all things figures the pre
miership of ttie pitchers must go to
Chief Albert Render, of the Athletics,
whose cunning was the greatest fac
tor in the overthrow of the Giants, pay
ing all due respert to the prowess of
one J. Franklin Hakcr and his home
run stick.
Passing along from the diamond to
the roped arena, wo find dusky Jack
Johnson still holding tho fort against
the heavies in popular opinion, although
he didn't really put on the gloves dur
ing the entire year. Ad Wolgast
poor, unlucky little man has not lost
his right to the lightweight sovereign
ty and, although the close of the year
finds him in an Incapacitated condition
it seems certain that he will sweep
away the many disputants to his: crown
when ho is able agiiln to go after them.
Johnny Coulon lias defended success
fully the bantam title and Abe Attell
Is still supreme among the feathers.
Two King Champs Toppled.
Two champions were toppled, how
ever, in the persons of Billy Papke
and Willie Lewis, in the middleweight
and welterweight divisions respective
ly. The honors that were wrested from
l'apke are In dispute and could be
claimed by any one of half a dozen men,
Including Sailor Burke, Australian Dave
Smith, Hugo Kelley, Kddie McCporty
and Frank Klaus. Mike Gibbons, the
St. Paul wonder, who flattened Willie
Lewis, seems to possess about tho best
clutch on the latter's title, but It Is
not a very tight one at that. Should
Packey McFarland and Matt Wells de
clare themselves welters which they
really are Monsieur Gibbons Would
more than have his hands full.
So we find real champions In four
nd I
years or age, me Miame parR, an
many other races. At four years
age he won three of the 10,000 pound
ers, and at five years "crowned the
edifice" by winning the Ascot cup. He
was a horse that you could back with
perfect confidence. He was, perhaps,
even a better horse than he showed
himself to be, as he was always ridden
by the short-legged Jockey, little Tom
my Loates. What he would have done
with a powerful horseman like Custance
In tho saddle, who could have got his
legs well round him, we can only con
jecture but after all, except on one
occasion, he did all there was to do.
Isinglass was a most lovabl horse,
of the Thormanby type, and a child
might lead him. A really great horse,
and a sweet-tempered, one, furnishes
blood that is to be prized in these days
o brilliant brutes. In the opinion of
the great Yorkshire Judge, Mr, Barring
ton, he was the perfection of make and
shape, and he would have given him the

Ily W. W. Naughton.
San Francisco, Dec. 30. "At the con
clusion of the present Australian season
at the Invitation of well known boxing
supporters In America, I have decided
to proceed to New York for -the pur
pose of conducting a big season. I will
let you know more detailed particulars
later on."
The foregoing Is an extract from a
letter received by the writer from Hugh
Mcintosh, the Australian promoter, who
Is at present handling pugilistic events
in Sydney.
It will be news to a great many, no
doubt, to hear that Mcintosh purposes
to invade America, although he gave
some hint of his intentions wnen he
stated in an interview before leaving
England, that his main ambition was to
establish a chain of boxing clubs around
the world.
An Entarprislng Fellow.
Mac" is certainly an enterprising
fellow. According to his letterheads,
Hongkong and Yokohuma are about the
only two places in which lie has not
established agencies and banking con
nections and the reason, 1 Judge, can
be found in the fact that the game of
the glove has not taken root as yet In
China and Japan. liven Colombo and
Suva boast Mcintosh representatives.
Although Mac doesn't say so, ho prob
ably expects to carry his pugilistic dolls
with him when he descends upon New
York. At present he is making a de
termined effort to corner tho market.
He has with him in Sydney, Jack Les
ter, Sam Langford. Jimmy Clabby,
Cyclone Tiiompson, Sam McVey, Terry
Kelleher. Porky Flynn and RandBinan
Klce. He has his lines out for Joo
Jeannette, Jim Flynn, Al Kaufman.
Willie Lewis and several others and will
Induce some of them, no doubt, to hit
the "out trail'' for Australia.
Closes -a April.
The season in Australia closes in
April, when the winter months begin.
Boxing is conducted after that in small
halls and theatres, but there are no big
open air affairs snch as Mcintosh
makes a specialty of.
This means that he will be due in
New York some time in June that is
If he adheres to his resolve.
Just what kind of a proposition has
been made to Mcintosh will not be
known until he sends "more detailed
particulars" along. Ho can hardly ex
pect to receive a hearty welcome from
the New York promoters. but as he
claims to be taking the step "at the in
vitation of well known boxing sup
porters in America," he should not find
himself friendless and alone wnen he
sets foot In the big eastern cities.
Will Causa Sensation.
He will certainly cause a sensation if
he arrives there with the string of sea
soned fistic campaigners at present
under his control. Maybe, if his recep
tion lacks cordiality, he will move on to
London, Paris or some other fight fos
tering center and carry the wandering
stars of the arena with him.
As a rule Mcintosh goes through with '
ERE'S wishing you a Happy New Year, and
as you care for.
Saml Rosenblatt
Third and Morrison
any plans he maps out, and now that na
has declared himself In connection with
a "big season" ir ,New York, he Is not
likely to abandon 'fine idea. Ha was
deemed foolish for bucking "th fight
trust," as the National Sporting club)
of London is called, but he worked hi
way into the big English metropolis and
handled some of the most important
boxing matches ever held there. Wheth
er he made money or not is a mooted
question. The point I am making la
that he Is not easily thrust aside. rf
Doesn't Beam to Offer Knob.
Just how he expects to conduct a "big
season" in New York does not appear,
and it almost looks as though the Aus
tralian fight handler is not convtrsant
with conditions in the east. With
Madison Square Garden closed to pro
moters, by orders of the commission,
and with open air boxing and picture
taking barred, it does not seem as
though New York offers much to the
Antipodean sportsman, unless it U that
he intends to build a roofed arena of.
his own.
Mcintosh, if he comes, will aurely
bring some of the best of the Aus
tralian rlngmen with him In addition to
any Americans that may return with
him. Among the Australians, no doubt,
will be Hughie Mehgan and Dave Smith.
The first named is the lightweight
champion of Kangaroo Land and ac
cording to all accounts he Is the beat
that country has produced since tho
flays of George Dawson and Shadow
Ma her.
Mehgan, It is said, can make 133
pounds without trouble, so that if he
comes he will be -n line for a cham
pionship go with Ad Wolgast or who
ever happens to be the custodian of the
lightweight laurels at that time.
A glance at Mehgan's record, by the
way, reveals the fact that he lost once
to Kudle U'nholz In two rounds, while
the latter was doing the best he could
for himself out Sydney way. But, when
the explanation is forthcoming that
Mehgan broke his arm and waa forced
to desist, the damage to the crack Aus
tralian's reputation does not seem to be
so disastrous.
Dave Smith is the middleweight who
defeated Billy Papke, and was defeated
In turn by the Kewanee slugger. He Is
well spoken of by the Australian critics
and he is evidently a fighter who could
be depended upon to give a good ac
count of himself with such men as
Klaus, McGoorty, Moha and Hugh
Kelly.
