seconds has been tied three different
times. Ira Courtney tied It two years
later and in 1910, Cooke of Ellensburg,
turned the trick Carr of the Lincoln
high of Seattle did the century dash
in the same time In 1911.
Cooke of the Ellensburg high school

Or; Jay Is the only Oregon athlete

Spokane, Wash March 22. In water
whose temperature hovers around the
freezing point. 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.

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

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. You know my first
trip to .Portland was In 1883.. Gee!
hut thts was some "mossy" burg then.

"That was one of them trips when I
was offcrln' $1900 to anybody I couldn't
stop In four rounds. 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. Jab each other a
cuppla times fer luck, nod a "howdy"
to their best girls and the first round's
over. An' the rest of 'em are about as
exolttn', with a halt every -few minutes
for a reception Co you get met
Pink Tea a ami right.
"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.' "
