hAIC CLUES SMOKERS,
"ie Success-Arranging Match
between WheIan and Mckenzie

iAcoMA, June 19-ISpecial. THE Ia
oohna Athletic Club smoker" last Monday
evening was success, so far as the minor
s'entS are concerned. The club has taken
lhuch interest in these smokers and they
are are becoming decidedly popular. If the
cup succeeds in getting its competent
no1ing instructor. James Whelan, matched
mitn Mckenzie, the champion Australian.
at LOO pounds, it will be big card. The
principal event last Monday evening was
.he ten-round go between Tom Kendall
anu Ramsey, the colored pivot
ngh'er for SIS purse. The
coiofed boy has slow and decided
movement, and his position is one which
makes 1t hard for man to get at him but
hendail warmed him up, and although
ramsey tried his pivot blow repeatedly on
hendaii he failed to reach him, and in re-
turn all through the fight received BODY
punches and blows on the jaw. At the
emu OF the tenth round Kendall was lust
getting warmed up, and in another round
would, as Ramsey admitted, have put the
coiored boxer to sleep. Kendall did all
the hghting, and was awarded the fight by
Referee Whelan.
1t is probable that Kendall will be
matched here against Charlie Gleason, of
Portland.

THE WILD MAN FROM BORNEO!
Captured at Great Cost. Now on
Exhibition at -Kearney street
Admission. 10 cents.

What the visitors saw when they went
to the dime museum was hairy man in
big cage. In his mouth were two i'm
mense boar'S tusks and on his head was a
mat of tangled false hair. The apparition
jumped fran one side of the cage to the
other. all the while believing in the most
savage manner Imaginable:
''Ootty Gootty!"
Near by was painting on canvas of a
forest with the wild man in one of the
highest trees and body of armed explor-
ers staring at him from below. The paint
ing was supposed to represent the discov-
cry of "Oofty Goofty" in Barneo forest.
The wild man was kept in the cage for
three weeks and the museum took In loads
of dimes. Finally, one day in a thought
less moments, Oofty Gooity saw one hi
friends in the crowd and shouted:
Say, Jimmie give me cigarette"
The news of the discovery of the iden-
tity of the wild man flew like fire and that
same afternoon gang of hoodlums raided
the museum. broke open the cage and
chased the thoroughly frightened occu-
pant into the street. Ootty Goofty ran
down market street, followed by hooting
mob, and finally took refuge on the roof
of a friendly house, from which he was
rescued by policeman. He was taken to
jail and in the police court was fined $40
for disorderly conduct. During the fol-
lowing six weeks he was in q hospital at
the expense of the city. When the hair
was removed from his body the skin came
with it and the loss of it nearly killed him.
He was doomed to still further hard luck,
however. fer his partner in the museum
decamped with all of the funds.
A few days after Oofty Goofty left the
hospital he met well-known San Fran
cisco cigar drummer, who asked him:
want to make SOP"
The amount made Oofty's eyes sparkle,
and he replied:
"Well, i should say so. What do you
want me to do? Eat chicken, feathers
and ALP"
"Oh, no; I only want to send you as
a Christmas present to friend at Sacra-
mento."
And Oofty Goofty was boxed up and
sent to Sacramento. Alas! for the live
present; the sender forgot to put this
side UP with care" on the box, and when it
arrived at its destination Oofty was left
standing on his head in the warehouse
over night. When the box was delivered
the next morning it contained an insensi-
BILE man, and several doctors had all they
could do TO bring him to. But Oofty
earned the $40, and went back to San
Francisco ready for another job.
Oofty Goofty boasts that he gets half of
his meals for nothing. He will enter a
restaurant, order porterhouse steak, and
then, presenting the check for the amount
to the proprietor. say:
''You can kick me for this"
There Is no instance on record where the
invitation has not been accepted.
Oofty Goofty is 26 years old. and his real
name is Leonor Borchart5. He can
neither sing nor dance, nor even talk so
that one can understand him. His ap-
pearance in this city is probably but an-
other practical joke perpetrated by some
San Franciscan.

SPOKANE 10, TACOMA 8.
Ten-!nning Game in Which Home
Runs and Errors Predominated.

SPOKANE June l9.-TSpecial.l lin an ex-
citing ten-inning game Tacoma jumped
five runs TO the front in the initial inning
on four 'baggers by Work and Routcliffe,
singles by Patton, Cartwright and Lauer,
and two errors. This was mountain for
the SpoSanes to surmount, but they were
successful, tieing the score in the fifth
inning, and when they finished in the
ninth We're two ahead. After the first
inning Tacoma got only three struggling
hits off Reccius, but in the ninth they
grouped three and pulled out even.
Borchers entered the game here, but
flied out TO left. In the tenth
the Spokanes scored three runs on
balls. Patton's error and three singles.
Work led off with safe hit and scored on
Cline's muff of Sippi and long fly.
Lauer flied out. Routcliffe hit safe, Sippi
scoring, but Routcliife was forced at
second by Cody. Borchers came up and
a hit meant disaster to Spokane, but
Reccins cleverly struck him ont. The
helding errors were bad on both sides.
The score:

80 The Gossoon."

At the opera-house tomorrow evening
Mr.. Carroll Johnson begins two nights
engagement in his Irish comedy, THE
Gossoon." The play is by E. E. Kidder,
the author of "a Poor Relation" and
Peaceful Valley" and while it is written
in an entirely different vein from these
two, it is equally good in its way. 1t has
been specially arranged to give the star
every chance to show his abilities, and
the character of Clancy O'Connell. the
gossoon, exactly suits his style and he
suits the character. Usually in Irish
plays of this sort the hero is generally a
wild young scapegrace, but in this case he
is gentlemanly squire, and it is only
natural that he should win and wed one
of the heroines of the story. Mr.. John
son is very agreeable actor, with hand
some stage presence and very attractive
personality. He sings and dances very
well, and his voice is sweet and pleasing.
He sings quite number of pretty selec-
tons His company is good one and
fully capable of meeting all the demands
made upon them.

Strange and Thrilling Advent

THREE WEEKS iNAMUsEUM CAGE
His Passion for Cigarettes Causes .
Peck OF Trouble-Hard Luck as
Christmas Gift.

"Oofty Goofty." the well-known San
Francisco character, is in the city. A va
riety theater has engaged him for short
season and announces the fact on 4 far
ing full-sheet poster, as follows:
The original and only "Oofty Goofty." the
hero of many battles. who will relate his life to
you, sing his version OF Marguerite" his song
and dance, ''Titteta" He will drink six glasses
OF beer with a teaspoon inside of ten minutes.
He challenges the world for his equal. John
L. Sullivan is the only man who ever knocked
him out, and he had to take a billiard cue to do
1t, for he has the hardest face OF any artist in
the profession.
Bring your walking canes with you aud break
them on "Oofty Goo!ty."
One would readily imagine that the ami
NAL In mans attire who styles himself as
''Oofty Goofty." had frame like an OK
and face like an Irish cartoon, but he
has not. He is small German Jew,
weighing but 100 pounds and standing
five feet five inches. He dresses in a
natty manner, and in his shirt front
wears an immense imitation diamond.
He has nose like crooked potato with
the curved side turned down and,
beginning at an inch above his
eyebrows and extending to his
coliar-button, is a shock of coal
black hair. His eyes are large, black and
shifting and give out sort of wish-I-had-
another-drnk expression that is almost
heart-rending.
He arrived in San Francisco twelve years
ago from Berlin and his motto ever since
has been anything to make dime" 1t
has always seemed impossible to hurt the
fellow, for he let's any man kick him for a
quarter and will take pleasure in Gaming
for any sum from 10 cents up.
The San Francisco sports soon learned
that wild and Woolly and Full of Fleas"
(as he was then called) would do anything
for money, and used him for all sorts of
purposes. One adventurous individual
conceived the brilliant idea to make for
tune, and, taking Wild and Woolly aside,
asked him:
do you want to make some money,
WoolIy?"
"You bet!"
No further questions were asked. Woolly
was taken into Kearney street carpenter
shop, stripped of his clothes and painted
with warm glue from head to foot. Then
hair was pasted on him and he was placed
on the roof to dry in the sun. A few
blocks away room was rented and dodg-
ers were printed reading:

PORTLAND, June 19.-[Special. Had not
Burns dropped fly from Earle's bat after
long run in the fifth inning Seattle
would not have scored run. 1t was a
peculiar play. Had Burns caught the ball
but one man would have been out. By
mutiing it he assisted in retiring two men.
There were three men on the bases ut the
time Ryn scored and Earle was safe at
first, but the other two were doubled.
The game was chockful of good plays,
most of them being made by the Portland
club. Werrick's and Burns errors were
excusable. There is much interest mani
tested in the coming series OF games with
Tacoma, rs upon it practically depends
the pennant. BY winning today Portland
has taken five straight games from Seattle.
On the last trip Portland won three
straight. Seattle did not win game on
either trip. The score:
