TACOMA SPORTING GOSSIP.
Fight Between Whalen and
Collins Discussed.

TACOMA, Aug. 2l.-lSpecial. The late
contest between James NJ. Whalen, of
Tacoma, and George Collins. alias Green,
of San Francisco, has been commented on
more than any contest that ever took place
here, principally on account of Whalen's
ability and Collins gameness. That
Whalen Is the best man many claim there
can be no doubt. even though he suffered
defeat, the cause of which was, as SAID,
that he trained down too fine to reach 1872
pounds to meet man who is built on the
100 pound plan, and is always in good con-
dition at from 1870 to 1876 pounds. Had
Whalen fought at catch weights he would,
it is believed, have whipped Collins hand
lily. AS il was his strength failed him and
he had to succumb, but not until he had
demonstrated to the spectators that Col
Inns would have TO fight to win.
Another match is talked of between
Whalen and Collins. and this one would
draw larger crowd than the last.
A tenround 60 is also talked of between
Lee Williams, well-known lightweight,
and George NJ. Hammersley, son of In

VAIN DEMOCRATIC HOPES.
Campaign Managers Profess tn Expect
Something in Washington and Idaho.

WASHINGTON CRY, Aug 20.-lSpecial.l-
At the branch headquarters Of the national
Democratic committee in this city the
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES correspondent was
today given information which indicates
that the Democratic managers are going to
make the hardest kind of fight
in some of the Northwestern states,
and the battle will open all along the line
by September l. The national congress
sional committee is located in the same
quarters as the branch office of
the national committee. and the work
being done in Washington City to-
ward directing the campaign will be
really important. Not only do the Demo-
cratic managers hope to carry some of the
Northwestern states for Cleveland and
Stevenson, but they profess to believe to
have some hope of carrying congress
sional districts which have heretofore
been considered safely Republican.
There is one thing about the Democratic
campaign which indicates that the Re-
publlcans have hard fight on their hands,
and that is that so much money is being
contributed to tine Democratic doodle"
fund, and great deal Of this is to be law
ishly spent in the states west of the Mis-
sissippi river.
The congressional committee is contin-
ually receiving letters from all sections of
the country, and a few have arrived from
alleged Democratic leaders in Washington,
Oregon. and Idaho. The writer's seem to
take very rosy view of the political
situation in their sections, and many of
them express the opinion that the Demo-
cratic party never stood a better show of
capturing the majority of the offices
to be voted on in November. 1t was
limited at the committee rooms
that very favorable reports have
not only been received from Democrats in
Oregon and Idaho, but that there were
Democrats in Washington that were
predicting success for the party on lines
that, of course will be considered
very foolish i'll Washington, where the
real situation is better known than
it is here. 1t is claimed that reports have
been received that there was fighting
chance for the Democrats to not only elect
their state ticket in Washington, but
the party might pull out with one congress
man in Idaho. The Den ocratic writers
base their claim on carrying that state
upon the fact that the voters are much
dissatisfied with the evident opposition of
President Harrison to the free coinage of
silver.

finals if in condition. Harry Messerve is
not named in the list, because he is play
ing equally as good as either Barker or
Peliy.
Abraham Barker, the Olympic clubs
champion, was beaten at Tacoma in the
Is-singles-Saturday by Foulke of
Victoria, rs, 4-6, 81. Although the Vic
torian was victorious he was compelled to
play hard, and won only after brilliant
struggle. MIR. Foulke may congratulate
himself on defeating hard uphill player,
and one who seldom loses heart. Had Mr..
Barker trained for the contest the result
might have been different.
