Perls, June 20. In .Tack Johnson's
camp odd of 3 to 1 awl 2 to 1 art
quoted. Mitchell Weinberg, a ricli cap
manufacturer, has offered $6000 to
$2000 on Johnnon. Iut he has found no
.taker. It 1 reported that one bet of
$30,000 to $10,000 ha been booked.
Torn Flanagan, of Toronto, champion
weight thrower of tlio world, arrived
Thursday, having crossed en the An'il
tanla, In company with Sam Leonard,
Toronto's grat prize fight man, who
Is known as a man who almost always
picks the, winner after seeing the gladi
ators In training a few times.
Leonard watched Johnson one after
noon before he gave It as his opinion
that 2 to 1 on trio blark champion
would be a good net. Flanagan de
clsres .Tohnson'sonditlon has greatly
surprised hiin, and that It Is unmis
takably better than It was' In either the
Jeffries or Flynrt fights. In the for
mer Johnson weighed '20$ pounds, and
In the latter 213 pounds. His weight
la now somewhere under 215, and he
has eight days yet wherein to train.
Johnson expects tr fight at not more
than 212, and believes he c.un safely
bring himself down to 210. ITe con
fesses to 36 years, and his latest meas
urements are:
Height. 6 feet.
Full reach. 73 Inches.
Breast, normal, 43 Inches.
Chest, expanded, 46 Inches.
Waist. 36 Inches.
Bleeps, 16 Indies; biceps extended 18
Inches.
Forearm. IB Inches. '
Thigh. 24 Inches.
Calf. 18 Inches.
Neck, 1 Inches.
Much Interest In right.
Flanagan, who has been Johnson's
chief ring advltier since he came back
from Auatralla, tola the International
News Service that an Immense amount
of Interest was shown among sport
lovers on the Aquatania as to the prob
abilities In regard to the. outcome of
the Johnson-Moran tight.
W. A. Brady was coming to Paris to
ere It. Thi-re was not any betting on
board, so far as he knew, Flanagan
said, chiefly becaune the old-timers
i an.l bettors were in doubt as to John
son's ability to hrlng "himself again
Into condition.
The "wlso guys," Flanagan said,
"thought Moran would be a sure thing.
They were not ready to put up any
, money on him, though. Harry Pollock
was of that opinion."
William A. Brady has told Bob Ver
non thst he considered Moran a "good
thing." Ritchie, lightweight champion,
also believed Moran-s chance Is the
bent.
When Johnson began training this
, time he weighed 24h pounds. His diet
has not been particularly severe.
"Chicken," he said, laughingly; "that's
what I eat " The fact Is. he begins the
day with a breakfast of four boiled
eggs, a large dish or" strawberries and
a bottle of Evian water. His dinner
Is 'largely made up of chicken, with
American canned peas, topped off with
a slice of pound cake. This menu Is
varied from day to day, but the above
bill of fare will give a fair Idea of
Johnson's average diet while training.
Johnson's training has shown an Im
mense Improvement during the last 10
days.- His tactics are aggressive, and
at every bout he makes his boxing
partners look ridiculous. His leg work
especially la excellent, and his stomach
seems like a wall of iron in its resist
ance to tremendous blows. Perhaps
the best test is after an hour of stren
uous ftoxing. Today he talked in a
perfectly natural tone, without the
slightest evidence of being winded
after such a test. Ills left hand und
wrist are still tightly bandaged. . In
consequence of his recent Injury while
fighting Jim Johnson. Johnson uses
his left arm Just as well as ever.
After a day's work, stripped and In
the hands of his rubbers, Johnson
.looks as hard as nails. In spite of
11 this, some experts who want to
see him defeated, predict that he will
be played out after a few rounds with
Moran. Johnson himself said:
SoHit Waat Triends Stung.
"I want you to report my condition
just as it appears to you. I don't
want any of my friends In America
to ,be deceived and lose money on me.
1 feel I never was better in my lifo
and Im going to win. But rve notli
ins to say against Moran. It Is going
to be a square fight.
Carperrtler, the French champion
has been chosen to referee the fight
It is believed, this fact will add $U0
.000, to the gate. Tom Flanagan, if
Johnson proves victorious, will go Im
mediately to Dublin to negotiate for
a right In that city between Johnson
and Jem Coffey, -the Dublin giant,
whom Croker has declared his Inten-
lon of backing. Flanagan is very
eager to bring off this ftght.
Among those who have been pr.t-
ent at Jonnson's training quarters this
week are roiice Lieutenant Michael
Bummers and Michael Collins, of New
York, who are here to take back two
Maiden Lane diamond thieves" to the
United States.
Frank Moran has now reached the
top notch period of his training and
W. C. Lewis, who is superintending
the tlnal work of the big white hope's
condition, has ordered him to take It
easy until Monday, when Moran will
do another four days of strenuous
work in the ring with Willi Lewis.
Tom Kennedy and Patton.
Moran Is now physically perfect and
a towering mass of muscle. Experts
; who . have examined him declare that
there isiiot one ounce of superfluous
.flesh on his body, while the wall of
his abdominal ravrty is Impregnable.
Moran Is lithe, active and strong and
looks 'like a Russian ballet dancer.
r " Xas Straight Xef t,
. , But what especially impressed all
of the big boxings authorities who
have watched him In his camp at
the Butry, la his amazing straight left.
Ever since he went into training Mo
. ran has been cultivating this blow,
' wh'ch comes out from, the .shoulder
like a piston rod and is capable "f
' felling an ox.
When he meets Johnson the white
, man's plan Is to wait steadfastly for
an opening; to, bring his left Into, full
' play, believing that only one just
such' well planted blow will - be i re
' quired to knock. out the burjy negro.

Prepares for Cooar d'Alene.
By th end of this week It will be
definitely known by Captain Pfaender
and Coach Dick Hart whether the
crews of the Portland Rowing club
compare in speed with those of last
year and previous seasons. Coach Hart
has b'sen working the men hard all
week on starts and spurts and tomor
row will probably start a series of
time trials to determine the speed of
the boats. There are but 19 days more
of training for the main regatta, when
the British Columbia athletes will
come to Portland to fcry to lift the
local "cups or to retain those which
they now have.
The regatta of the North Pacific
Association of Amateur oarsmen will
be held in this city Friday and Sat
urday, July 10 and 11. Last year the
races were held at Vancouver, B. C.
with the exception of the senior
four oared crew the personnel which
will man the different shells is pretty
well decided upon 'and there Is every
likelihood of their being as follows:
benior single. Captain A. A. Pfaender;
Junior single, David G. Cooper; senior
double, James Haveley and F. R. New
ell; Junior double, G. G. Wyld and D.
G. Cooper: special lightweight four

George W. Bates Jr.. No. 3; K C. Sal
mons, No. 2; J. H. McDonald, bow.
Allan Saif t Man.
Arthur A. Allen, captain of the sen
ior four, in not fully decided as to the
exact order in which the seniors will
row; there are four experienced men
besides himself, who axe Klmer A.
Hanson. J. W. Reslng, E. A. Stevens
and C. M". Dyrlund. Allen has been
shifting the men from port to star
board and back again In an effort to
strike the best combination. There
Is lots of power In the boat and 'When
the men once swing together thly

Btrength.
The return of Jim Haveley from
Cornell has given the squad some
"pep." Haveley has been partner with
Fred R. Newell in the senior double
for- the past two years; he has been
studying engineering at Cornell and
ail winter long kept in condition by
working on the rowing machines and
doing cross-country work. Newell and 1
Maveiey are expecting to make a hard
fight to retrieve their championship
honors which they dropped by a close
margin to Taylor and Bell-Irving of
Vancouver last yeah
H. G. Chickerlng, secretary of the
club and a former oarsman, has been
Incapacitated the past week with a
badly wrenched lear resulting from
wrestling at Multnomah club.
Crew to Coeur d'Alene.
One week from tomorrow a crew will
leave Portland for Coeur d'Alene.
Idaho, to take part in the rowing re
gatta there on July 2-3-. While it
is not definitely decided upon. It looks
as though the crew will be composed
of A. B. Lewellen, bow; R. H. Prideaux,
No. 2 ; Rudy Hochuli, No. 3, and George
McFaul, stroke. McFaul rowed three
In the crew which swept everything
before it at the Idaho regatta last
year, sotting a new record and inci
dentally defeating the crack crew of
the Nelson, B. C, Boat club.
Julius Hclwig, who pulled in several
winning crews, after two years of re-
tirement, has decided to try pulling
a sweep again.
The dance committee has made ar
rangements for a party to be held next
Thursday night, to which members
and friends are invited. During re-
gatta -yeek a large Informal ball will
be held at the clubhouse in honor of
the visiting oarsmen. The hall will
be specially decorated for the occasion
and this is expected to prove the gay
est party of the year.

left deeply Impressed with Moran's
quiet determination to succeed where
Jim "Jeffries failed. The white man,
himself, however, is modesty itself.
He does not' belittle or disparage
Johnson's chamces and he admits th-it
he is taking on one of the most sci
entific boxers that ever donned a
glove, i
"I know this fight Is going to be
mine," he says, and then refers In
quirers" to Will C. Lewis. The latter
Is eloquent about the man lie has
trained.
Tha Old Xiine Talk.
"Johnson has never been against a
real fighter and has never knocked
out a first class man," Lewis said.
"The Tommy Burns encounter was a
farce and the Jeffries fight was in
the. same class. It will be a different
tale With Moran, however. For once
Johnson will have to do some attack
ing, and for the first time he will be
facing his equal in strength and agil
ity, and his old tactics of making op
ponents dance around the" ring after
him will not hold good this time. Mo
ran will conserve his strength. H
has made a complete study of the
colored man's methods. In tactics
Moran will not be found at fault. As
I foresee it, the negro will hold the
advantage for the first five rounds
and then the - white man will' assert
his superiority. Then we will not be
talking about a white hope, but about
a white champion."

Greatest Aquatic Team Ever Developed in History ;of the Game
The Illinois Athletic club swimming
team, which will appear in Portland on
Saturday evening, July 11, is the great
est aquatic team ever developed in the
world. During the ,1914 indoor swim
ming season the 1. A. C. swimmers!
made a clean sweep f the national
titles.
Harry Hebrwr proved the most brtl-j
liant star in the glowing constellation.

backstroke championship, and in spite
of the fact that this promiscuous com
peting in such widely differing events
.naturally prevented his showing1 best
form in any one, he managed, to lowsr
several world's records. At 150 yards
he bettered the figures from 1 minute
32 2-6 seconds to 1 minute 31 1-5 sec-j
onds; at 220 yards he improved Dan
iels' mark from 2 minutes 25 2-5 sec-
onds to 2 minutes 21 seconds, and in
backstroke swimming he reduced his
own international standard from 1
minut.e 50 4-5 seconds to 1 minute 43
2-5 seconds.
Baithal Gets Title.
To Arthur Raithel went the only!
individual free style title not capt
tured by Hebner. He defeated the lat
ter by a touch in the 50 yard cham
pionship dash. It is worthy of note-,
too, that during the season he equalled
the world's 100 yard record of 54 4-5
seconds for swimming the distance in
a 60 foot pool.
Michael McDermott took laurels in
breast stroke swimming. He won the!
200 yard classic race by a wide mar
gin, and would unquestionably have
created a new record had he not been
instructed before the contest to save
himself for other events as soon as
he had secured a safe lead.
is.onraa wonireia was returned a
victor in the fancy diving champion
ship and his triumph over the very
best of American divers caused a sen
sation, for he entered thefield as a
novice less than two years ago.
Capture Belay Baca.
Hebner, of course, won the title In
backstroke swimming with hardly an
effort, and he also helped his team
mates Perry McGillivray. Arthur Rai
thel and William Vosburgh to capture
the 400-yard relay racing champion
ship in worlds record time. The
speedy quartet covered the distance in
3 minutes 53 2-6 seconds, as against
the former standard time of 3 min
utes 65 3-5 seconds.
While McGillivray had to be satis
fied with second and third places in
the individual national tests, it is but
fair to state that he shattered three
American records, reducing the 250-
yard one from 2 minutes 58 2-5 sec
onds to 2 minutes 63 8-5 seconds, thej
300 yard one from 3 minutes 38 sec
ons to 3 minutes 29 1-5 seconds, and
the 880 yard one from, 11 minutes 44
4-5 seconds to 11 minutes 29 1-5 sec
onds. As a climax to these sterling
achievements the Illinois A. C. water
polo team defeated all comers at tho
international style of game recently
adopted in this country and took the
championship pennant. On the team
FEDS' .300 HITTERS
ARE MORE NUMEROUS
THAN OTHER LEAGUES
When Claude Berry Hits .280
Pitchers Must Be Pretty
Poor Lot.
More players of the Federal Base
ball league are batting over the .300
! mark than In the American and Nation-
al leagues combined. Does that mean
that the batters of the new league are
superior to those of the older leagues,
or are the twirlers of the American and
National leagues superior to those in
the Federal circuit?
It appears to the average baseball
I fan that the twirlers of the American
and National leagues are far superior
to those, In the new league. Players
in the new league who batted far be
low the .300 mark In organized ball
are sticking well above the .300 mark
now. Take, for example, the cases of
Claude Berry, former Portlander, who
is hitting .280 In Gilmore s league, and
Artie Krueger who is batting 278. Last
season ,ln the Pacific Coast league,
these players had trouble keeping
above the .200 mark.
Kauff. of the Indianapolis club, is
leading the Federal league, with the
mark of .414. Vincent Campbell, for
mer Northwestern leaguer, is second,
with .394 ,and Bradley of the Pittsburg
team, is hitting .383. Steve Evans who
batted below the .250 mark for St.
I.ouls Last season, is in fourth place
In the Federal league, with .371, and
Lennox, of the Pittsburg team. Is hit
ting at the same cup
Hummell. of the Brooklyn team is
leading the National league sluggers
with the mark of 391, and his tea
mate. Jack Dalton, is next to him, with
.361. Burns of New York, is thtrd,
with .360, and Bobby Byrne, of Phlla
delphia, is hitting .345. Kellogg, of
Charley Herzog's Wonders, is hitting
.333, and Gathers, of St. Louis, is next,
with .328. Grant, of New York, is hit
ting in the same class.
The American league sluggers are
being led by C. Walker of the St. Louis
team, with the mark of .363; Lelivelt
of Cleveland, is second, with .357, and
Crawford, of Detroit, is third with .337
Baker of the Athletics, is batting
.333. and Joe Jackson, of the Naps, has
dropped down to the .339 mark. Ty
Cobb is batting .320. Tris Speaker i
batting .280.
Carl Mays, former Portland twirler,
now with the Providence team, of the
International league, is the leading hit

Victory Over Oaks Comes Al

FANNING ONLY SALVATION
Bos Score Does Hot Tell Anywhere
STear Ail Tatars Tthat Were
Doas Behind
San Francisco, June 20. The Seals
won today's game of baseball, and they
did It almost by accident. Ten Innings,
i to S yet let us not grow ovt-r-en-thuslastlc.
They played t:ie sort of
ball they had played all week, which
means that every grain of gray matter
as surrounded by a pennyweight of
ivory: They deserved to win only be
cause of the work of pitcher Skecter
Fanning, .who, following the example
bci, Dy epiaer aum a few days ago.
won in spite of what was done behind .
lilm.
And of the things that were done
bel.lnd him let us speak in whinners
only. The box 'score does not tell the
tale. The box score would have us
believe that Jeremiah Downs whs the
sole offender In the mishandling aud
manhandling; of the ball.- Don't you
believe it. There is no excuso for
Jerry he booted his share. But com
pared with nrfaan he was an amateur
booter at tl.nt.. Mere boots can be
forgiven, but hard indeed to forgive
are those mental lapse indicating that
our pennant li"i"s are having diffi
culty iu rememb. t mg whether they are
playing baaseball or football.
The Oaks repeal, i their work of
Friday, putting over their tao runs
in tho first inning, gulnlan singled
through Corhan. went to second on
Mlddleton's sacrifice. Kile third, and
scored on a double steal with Zacher,
who got to first throuKh being hit
with a pitched ball. .a.i.er scored
from second when Iletllng ungled to
center.
In the first inning Chappie "harles
got to first through an error by Ness,
lie went to third on a single by or
hkn. Nig Clark came Into the 1'ic
ture with a bottled-in-bond nallop to
left field, and Charles crossed the
J plat.
xn tne sevemn Aiunaorn ica oil by
walking. Charles bunted him to sec
ond, and then came Corhan to the
scratch again with a smash to left
that took Mundy around tho tat ka.
The score was tied. . At the tie It
remained until the tenth. Beginning
the tenth Nig Clarke won himself a
bit of distinction by hitting safely to
left Held. Schmidt went in to run
for him and waa bunted along to sec
ond by the Old ttkect himself. Joe
Tobln was long overdue for a pinch
hit, and this was the time he delivered.
A full grown, mans slxe smash It
was,- the ball going far Into left
renter for a two bagger, ana Schmidt
finishing the trip.
