Induced by chunks of Ice floating' down frotn mountain streams, Johnny McMurray, representing the Multnomah club of Portland and four athletes of the Spokane Amateur Athletic club will endeavor to swim acroFs the swift Spokane river today. At the outset they will have to item some swlfj riffles, so treacherous that none but a powerful swimmer could puss them under the heat conditions. They expect to be carried 300 ryards down stream while crossing a distance of 76 vsrda. The feat will be attempted Just below the biggest cataract in the Spokane river. An Idea of the swiftness of the stream may be had from the fact that it has a fall of 12S0 feet in less than 100 miles, and -has always been consid ered first class for power purposes, but poor for swimming. Lawrence Allen, Ernest Crueger, A. G. Stall and Herbert Sutherland, who will start have been going through a vigorous course of training for several weeks. Every day they have taken a plunge in water Just above tbe freez ing point Each man will have two assistants to attend him. Two boats. with- life guards and physicians will accompany the swimmers. Almost as important a per sonage will be the moving picture man. Added interest attaches to the event because the four Spokane swimmers have applied for membership in the United States volunteer life guards. They will start soon a series of tests required to qualify in the organization. The local swimmem will represent Spo kane In an aquatic tournament at Fort land. Or during the Rose Festival in Juno. ! . They also will give a series of exhi bitions In the Spokane river during the Pow Wow in June, the annual playtime carnival In the Spokane country. . . i """ 4rS i nil C If M IS) ' ; r v r AxZZf tfc-w ih - v V ' 4 V U Y'-i fr U 4-22z: tS "lit v r -i V L SULLIVAN TO Five dogs to be exhibited at the fourteenth annual Bench Show of the Portland Kennel club to be held In the Bungalow theatre, April ' 2 to 5.

The San Francisco club will send Jen fen, Malona and Noonan north to meet the winged ."M" boxers, but Just what dub men will be sent against the south era boys Is not known.

Thorenson will be sent against the other 125 pounder. Wank - Harmar, who is managing the i meet, has not arranged any of the pre- Uminary bouts to date on account of several of the boys appearing tomorrow night at a club smoker. The Pacific university track and field team has refused to consider tht chal lenge of the TV M. C. A. Harriers for a return track and field meet this sea son. .' . Former Champion Will Act as Referee in McFarland Watson Fight Friday, John L, Sullivan, the greatest fighter who aver donned a padded mit, Is to make his reappearance In the squared circle next Friday night in San Fran cisco. John L. will appear as third man in the ring when Tommy McFarland and Bed Watson meet In a return battle. Alexander Pantages, owner of the Pantages circuit, wired Sullivan asking him If he would officiate. Sullivan gladly consented to appear. John L. was full of Irish wit yester day afternoon before his time to appear on the stage and told Irish Jokes one after another, but stopped long enough to boost Oscar Gardner, former light weight champion, who is running a boxing school in this city. "Gardner," said Sullivan, was a fight er not much taller than he was wide, but the toughest fighter who ever stepped into a ring.". Sullivan will leave Portland Monday night for San Francisco. , Smoker Tuesday , Night. The ' Hawthorne Athlectlo club will hold a smoker next Tuesday night In the club rooms at Water street and Haw thorne avenue. The program will con sist of five boxing bouts and two wrest ling matches. By Vella Winner. John L. Sullivan opened the door of his apartment at the Multnomah! ex tended his big, purple, puffy paw and, looking me over, said- ; "So you're from The Journal, sent a skirt society editor, I s'pose to in terview me. Well. 1 11 be Set down over by the window and If you don't mind I'll tiave a pipe. "Well, I'll bet you can dope- out as good bunk for the Bportin' pags as the sportln' writers. Now, don't think I'm trying to kid yo uor compliment you, 'cause I ain't. But all I kin find on the sportln' pafio is about Joe Hivers' trousseau and tho bridesmaids and Hat Nelson's divorce. I can't get no dope on a fight no more, all I kin get Is a debate whether that cartoon girl mar ried Bat fcr love alone or because he was goin to crack her on- the bein !f she didn't. I've learned that Joe Riv ers is a "perfect love" of a husband and that his wlf lias a new diamond tearee whatever that Is. "On the level, the newspaper guys ought to fire the fight reporters and hire Laura Jane Llbbey. If they keep on feedln us this mush they might as well turn on the moonlight that goes wlf the act. This age Is too durned re fined fer me. "You oan't find oufhothtn about the fight guys. All the papers tell you Is that they're goln to marry their child hood sweethearts or that they lote their mother; but the point with me is this, I love my good hard-earned dough and when I get some of It plant ed on a guy, I aln-'t so anxious to know whether he's writln' home regular as I am to find out if he's goln' to cave m the mush of the other gink. Seal Tighter Oone. "It's the same clear down the line, there ain't no real fights or real fight ers any more. Now, I dont want this to bo a "great I am" Interview, but I'll tell you honest I done more to uplift the flghtin' game to the time I quit than anybody else.

Sure, I knocked 'em all out, and still I wear the same Bize hat I did thirty years ago. As I was sayln', them was the good old days when the best man wins. But now gee; they make me seasick, these pugs of 1913. For weeks before the bout every breath is recorded in the news papers, each line festooned with rib bons and roses of their family tree, mat rimonial prospects and what kind of breakfast food they eat An' on the big day, Jack London and Rex Beach liavln' arrived and sharpened their pen cils so's the world won t lost nothin', and the two guys huvin' been rubbed and perfumed, break into the ring and "turkey" around.

"Why, Lord, :a boxin' match makes a pink tea look like a bull fight An' still lots of folks think that flghtin' Is a low, degrading business. I'll tell you it ain't, it's the finest exercise In the world because It brings Into play every muscle a fellow's got It makes the eye and the mind quick, and as for bein brutal, why there's more boys killed during one football season than have ever been killed in the fight game. There they plla up a dozen deep and when the dust clears away the ones with broken necks, smashed heads .and busted ribs' are carried off and a new lot of huskies are brought in. But I'm gettin' away from my subject ain't I? "As I was sayln the fight game to day Is a Joke. What's tho answer? Huh! It's the big pile of bucks that each fellow is sure to get win or lose. It's all fixed up, I tell you, sometimes tho cast o' characters is changed 'with out nottco,' as In tho Johnson-Jeffries bqut You know It was all doped out for the nigger to lay down and get tho little wad, but he give 'cm a little surprise party. "Now. In uiy flghtin' days the loser didn't get nothin' except a good llckln' I'd hand 'era a few tough babies and when their chins got in front of a Sul livan blast they'd drop without a squeal left In their system-Micked to a whis per, aqd there was no plnnln' checks on their shrouds, either. Lord, I was some class them days. "But, as I said before, the world is jfettin' too 'ultry now." Even the news- papprslook at 'em prlntln' half a dozen xtiie a ciuy, tne iirst arternoon edition comin' out at 10 o'clock In the mornln', and you have to buy 'em all and wade through acres of print to find out what used to be told in a couple o' sticks you see I know your newspaper lingo. I've done a little writln' myself. I'm riot what you carl a learned gentlemaa Education and me never got close enough for a handshake. I ain't studied much but Hoyle, form charts and box cores, but I know what I know, "The world Is gettin' more selfish every day, and money Is god. I've made lots' of It In my day, and it's pretty good stuff to have, but the good old cosmopolitan days are gone and lots of the great men are gone too, and thera ain't no more to take their 'places. Take actln' for Instance, If you ask the 'show manager. why they don't play the old classics, Shakespeare and such, any more, they'll say tho public don't want 'em, but lha fact of the business Is they ain'f got nobody to play 'em. There ain't' no more Booths and Bar retts. Vatoxe Bemalns TTnchabg'ed. "Thank the Lord, nature is always the same, and that's where I get my pleasure now. I've got the finest lit tie 70-acre farm Just out of Boston you ever seen. I raise lots of fruit and .vegetables. Last year from June 17 to July 9, I shipped 250,000 crates of the finest big strawberries that any body ever growed. I've got alot of line cows ana norses, pigs, chickens, ducks, pheasants and turkeys. That's the reason my wife ain't traveling with me this year. I have a couple of men workln' on the farm, but there needs to be an overseer, fer I wouldn't have anything happen to one of my animals for anything in the world, and, believe me, as an overseer my wife is a 'bear.'
