"About the first man I met" here asked me when the fight was to take place and Others have asked me since.

This from . the Spokesman-Review explain things:". .president H. G. Brown, "of the Spokane Baseball Club, yesterday sold out his stock, and is no longer identified with the club. The purchaser of the stock is At Harris, of Spokane, a sporting man working at the Owl. The directors have -; not yet taken any action in the election Of a new president, and it is not known - who will be Mr. 'Brown's successor at the head of the elub. Mr. Brown was the largest Individual owner of stock. At the beginning of the season he subscribed for 2500 of the 6000 shares. Later he do nated 1250 shares to the club, and yester day sold his remaining 1260 hare at par to Mr. Harris. "I still think,"; Mr. Brown said yester day, -that Spokane has as fast a team as any in the league. A phantom oi hard luck has pursued us, tnougn, and I do not want to feel that I am a hoodoo ' to the team. Since I have been at the .; head of the club one misfortune has fol lowed another. First It was Kelly, who was put out, then Donahue. Russell lost his effectiveness, and now' the stars of ttiV team, are out of the game on ac count tof boose. If I had my way the man who dissipates would be put on the bench without pay. Last year's team disgusted me with that sort of thing. Since the beginning of the season I have aid that a sober man should be signed -4n place of a drunk, whether his ability as a ballplayer U greater or not I will not act as president of a team where drunkenness Is not' punishable by a se vere penalty. I think the team now gathered is, under anything like favor MONTANA MINES SHOW DECREASE Putte District Is Over Ten Mil lion Short of Last Year. (Journal Special 8erv1ce. BUTTE, Mont, July 15.

According to all reports, it was one of the gameft fights ever' seen, in London, and during the last 1 round -the crowd arose from their seat and cheered the sailor for his pluck. The last round: Round SX and last-Sharkey walked to the center in rather shaky style, and It was plain to alt beholders that the severe gruelling he had f ecetved was beginning to tell Ha tale. Hitherto Ruhlln had paid most attention to the Sailor's face, but, seeing that , the latter was in distress, be opened thla time by making a mark of Sharkey's stomach. A feint with- his left for the face gave him a favorable opening, and he shot out his right at the stomach with suchpower that the Irish man nearly collapsed. Before he could recover Ruhlln had landed left and right gala on almost the same spot, and then a spfendid right on the Jaw brougnt Sharkey down. As Ruhlln stood over his opponent momentarily with his right hand drawn back as if to deliver the knockout, Mr. Angle stepped to the side of the" ring and ' ordered him away. The sailor boy struggled to his feet, but only to receive Rirblln's left flush on the' mouth, and after a right and left on the body was again dropped' with a right on the Jaw. Though beaten, Sharkey was still undounted, for he rose within the time, and' stood really at the mercy of his rival. As Ruhlln approached him the Irishman put tip his hands to guard his face,but the Ohio man upper cut him with the right and; Sharkey ottoe more fell. Everyone expected him to be countea out, but to their astonishment he arose again. He was only on his feet a couple of seconds before Ruhlln's right again landed on his chin and sent him over. Still Sharkey was not done with, for he struggled up to resume his part In the performance Just as the gong sounded and the men went to their comers. See ing their man was beaten, and, unwilling to allow such a. game boxer to be need lessly punished, his seconds at this point decided to throw up the sponge, though Sharkey assured them that he was able to continue the struggle. CARTER BEAT WEINIGw At "Fort Erie last night Kid Carter knocked out Al. Weinlg in the 12th of what was to have been a 20-round go. Up to the 6th round Welnlg worried Carter some, but after that the Kid punished him severely., nearly having him out in the 10th round. Welnlg took some hard punishment In the 11th, Carter punching him all over . the ring. Blood was flowing from his nose and mouth, and from a cut over his eye. Carter rushed . matters In the 12th, and soon had Welnlg staggering. A right full on the Jaw stretched Weinlg at full length on the floor,' but he dragged him self to his knees and straightened up at the cdunt of nine. Carter sent a right square -on ths Joint of the Jaw, Weinlg went down and out. and SHORT SPORTING NOTES, Tommy Tracey has already commenced training for his fight with Ferns. He has signed the articles of agreement, and they have been forwarded to Kansas city. Billy De Coursey, who was beaten by Hegarty In Portland, has returned to his home in Los Angeles. After a short stay he will go East, where he has been .promised an engagement with Benny Yanger, Tim Murphy and Jim Tremble will box in Sacramento on the ?6th Inst, Harry Foley and Dave Barry meet in a '20-round preliminary to the big fight. They have met twice before, Foley win ning the first bout and a draw being the result of the other.

Pastures are slowly getting short and a slight shrinkage Is taking place In the supply of milk being-delivered at the creameries. Fall grain of all kinds is filling and ripening nicely. Some fall oats and bar ley have been cut, but harvesting will not become general for about two weeks. Spring wheat is growing fast and it has a good color. The complaints of fall wheat lodging are' not numerous -and but little rust la .reported. The-outlook, -on the whole, is favorable for a largo crop of grain of an excellent quality in both Eastern and Western Oregon. Hops are making a good growth, and but few lice are reported upon the vines. Corn has done well during the week; It has a good color, but it Is still small for the season of the year. Potatoes, onions, sugar beets, gardens, and all root crops have made favorable advancement. . The Italian prune crop is almost a total fail ure, but the French prunes give promise of yielding a fair crop. Apples also promise well. But few reports regarding peaches were received during the week and they were favorable. EDWARD A BEALS, Observer. Curious Notices. "Widow in comfortable circumstances wishes to marry two sons."

Yes terday he heard the testimony In the case of the State against L. F. Beyriss, on a charge of the laceny 'of two railroad tickets, good for passage between Port land and Chicago. As soon as the attor neys in the case (lie briefs, the court will hand down a decision. Mr. Beyriss is Joint agent In Portland for the Transcontinental Passenger Asso ciation. Before a person can use an ex cursion ticket on the return trip to .Chi cago he. must identify , himself to Mr. The officer who was acquitted in Manila on the charge of murdering insurgents. He recently returned with 292 pi his khaki-clad marines and his address temporarily is the Brooklyn Nary Yard, ' Beyriss. whose duty It Id -to validate the return stubs. The regular fare between Portland and Chicago Is $61.50. The round trip excursion tickets are sold for $00. Owing to this rate being $11.60 less than the regular one way rate, the purchasers are required to sign a 'special agreement regarding the transfer of tickets. This Is with the Idea of preventing scalping, as the temptation is very great. So, when W. J. Lucas and C. Q. Saxby presented tickets for Mr. Beyriss' "O. K." last week, they were closely ques tioned. As their Identification of them selves was not satisfactory, the tickets were confiscated. They then had the agent arrested on a charge of larceny. Lucas and Saxby swore on the stand that they purchased the tickets In Chi cago, and it seems that it is up to the railroads to prove otherwise. MINES AND MINING.

The Oregon state fair this year will be the greatest success of any previous at tempt if the management is to Judge from the encouragement given them in their efforts from all parts of the state. Secretary Wisdom Is greatly encouraged. When seen at his office this morning the secretary said: "I have 'been , very busy for the past week, being out with the visiting Food Commissioners, but T have been putting in a word for the fair wherever I have been. This has not . been laborious work, because I find the people throughout the state very enthusiastic In regard to the matter, ' .'.,' "Last year we had the best fair ever held In the state, and It is much easier to make a good fair the year following a good fair than It would be In case there was a failure or a partial failure the year before. "Last yeaf we had seven counties com peting for the prise on best county ex hibit, and ' this year we expect to have more counties in this contest than befor, "One thing I have observed with keen Interest is the fact that the Oregon Fair Association pays forger cash awards than any other state with which I have been familiar. For instance, where the Oregon Association pays $30 for first prise on a bull or cow. Eastern associations are paying only $20, and none exceed $25. This tends only to stimulate the Oregon breeder, and I assure you that there is no danger of the .amount being reduced by the Oregon association. "Throughout the state where I have been during the past week 1 find an abundance of prosperity among the farm ing element. This - fact" encourages me wonderfully in my efforts. When there is prosperity among the farming peo ple we can always depend upon a big at tendance and a first-class display at the fall show. "The livestock display at the fair this year will be ahead of-anything yet had. breeders nil over the state have addd to their herds from the East this year, and 1 expect to see t.ie best display in that line -at the Oregon fair this fall ever placed on exhibition on the Pacifli Coast. . .

Former President Grover Cleveland de clares It is not only permissible for fisher men to say 'damn," but often a duty. This dictum will be as the btlm in GUead to the army of anglers, for It comes not only with the authority of a former president of the United States, but with the sancti ty that may cling to the son of n. .Presby terian mlter and to a member of the faculty of T'Presbyterlan univvslty. Mr. Cleveland qualifies his statement with the explanation that the ; expletive must not be delivered in wrafi, buz with the slowness and lmpressiveness of gen Ulne conviction. Moreover, .he says the proper use of "damn" Is a cardlial Frtr.- rlple of the. Waltonlan cult. This declar ation, which may take away the breath of some orthodox people, was made In the course of an Interview on the former president's experiences us a fisherman. "My biggest catch?" repeated Mr. Cleveland in response to a question. "It Is rather a difficult question to answer. Last year I landed a twenty-five pound drum when I was down in Virginia, but bigger ones have been caught there. I remember losing one that must have weighed 40 or 50 pounds, from the stress arid strain on the rod. I will never cease to regret losing that fish, because I want ed Admiral Evans to suffer at the sight of It. But the confounded line got caught and the fish escaped. "Yes, I swore. Under those circum stances it Is permissible, and In fact in cumbent upon the true fisherman. But it must be mild and measured. The phrase is a part of the rubric of the disciples of Walton. I uttered them slowly and Im pressively 'Damn that fish!' " Mr. Cleveland's reference to Admiral Evans may explain his conversion to the Waltonian faith. It should be noticed that In setting the seal of his favor on tliu ancient and now honorable cussword, the former president's dispensation extends only to "truer flheme3n that sub Ject he said': " .,(.. ' "Ttysv whole matter simmers v down to this. 'There are fishermen and there are hog fishermen. The hog IWho.Trnan Is closely allied to the squaw fl.ihermnn, and both should be ruled out of the f.shlng fraternity for all time. The former may be -skillful with rod and line, but he has neither forbearane nor moderation. He Is .never satisfied with fining; nls creel with a fair catch. . He wants evorth'tig in sight and under the waters.' He is natlUng more than a hog. 'The gquaw fisherman hasn't any love for the sport. Ho doesn't derive any real pleasure from It. He takes It up as a fad or to acquire ft reputation. He only wants to Catch fish to boast about it He doesn't catch many as a rule, and he Is gjven to whining about his ill luck. His sole capi tal Is his tackle and a little fish language. Neither a hog fisherman nor a squaw fisherman should be accepted as a true angler." ' 1 ',.''' ' ' THE WRONG BOY. A Detroit man was traveling with h:s son, and wishing to transact some bus!-, ness with the conductor, he said: "Now, Willie, I'm golpg 'to be away Just a few minutes. Tou sit right here and don't move a bit. It you do I'll spank-you good and hard. So don't stick your head out of the window You might have it token oft if you do; then you wouldn't have any head and you'd get a spanking be sides."

After a few minutes he cams back. , There was little 'Willie, just h(s feet and' the seat of his trousers sticking through the window, - He appeared to be more outside than Inside,- and whenever a,' telegraph pole whlzaed by and looked especially close he would make a lungs for It, as if trying to cafch it," ; Thsfather did .not hesitate. He tnat Lot and Three-fourths of the Money Commerce a grab for the boy Just as the latter made a lunge for. a pole. He pulled him in by the heels, laid him pver his knees and began to fulfill his promise. The little fellow yelled and yelled until ha almost drowned out the noise of the tratn, but during a lull In the uproar the fa ther heard a snicker behind. He laid the boy down and turned to see what it meant. There, two seats behind and across ths aisle, was his son, with two fingers stuffed in his mouth to keep his merri ment in. The man rubbed his eyes ana looked again, but there was no mlstako. . He looked at the boy in his lap. Be hind the tears was a face he had never seen before. He had spanned some other man's son.
