ture. a battle that will be closely
watched is the one arranged between
Tommy Ryan and Jack Root Both

ring. Root has only been before the
public for a little over three years.
while Ryan has been fighting for mora

Youngs, was born in 1870 at Redwood.

It is Que to O'Brien. however. to say
that he showed i'll this battle that he IS
game to the core and can take punish

during the encounter McFadden landed

clean out of O'Bren's head. The latter
coolly picked up the artificial masti-
Gator and. throwing it over to Tom
O'Rourllc, who was i'll his corner. coolly
went on with the fight.
Special interest attaches to this en-
counter because the winner is to fight

Two days after the McFad-
den meeting Terry McGovern is schcd-
uled to again tackle Tommy White OF
Chicago in New York. Last April the
boys met at Tattersals i'll Chicago. and
the westerner surprised the talent by
giving the featherweight champion Il
full six rounds argument. AS the
Terrible Terry" had already BOWED
over Eddie Santry in the same building
in five rounds. 1t was not thought that
White would stay the limit. White and
Santry were considered the best feath-
erwcights i'll the west.
The fight was hot ono from the tap
of the gong. The Brooklyn Whirl-
wind" as usual. was the aegressor, and
in very short order had his opponent on
the floor.
White took the full count. and hardly
regained his feet when Terry was at
him again. He ripped in body blows
and right and left hooks that kept
White nonplused. 1t looked as though
the battle would he ended in the first
round. White found his only recourse
was in clinchinE, and he did this so
cleverly that McGovern found it diff
cult TO lombard him at close range.

After several clinches White got his
breath and began to do a little work on
his own account, jabbing and clinchnS
as the opportunity presented. Terry
meanwhile gave him no rest. and It
again began TO look bad for the west
crner. Al the end of tho first round
Terry hooked his left on Whites jaw
and again toppled him over.
During the next four rounds Meow
ern sailed into White. slashing away
with both arms as fast as possible.
while just as the former seemed in a
position to land effectively White would
slip into q clirch. In the sixth round
White took upon himself TO do some
smuggling and landed repeatedly, having
the better of the fighting.
Terry's admirers are cocksure that
their favorite will easily prove his SUI

come together for this % round affair.

would cost him $40 to carry this watch

to the board OF appraisers, who decided
that the re-importation of she watch
would not relieve MIR, Hszelton from pay

SOCIAL ECONOMIC CLUB.
Good Attendance at First Meeting Last
Evening

There was q good attendance at the
first meeting OF the Portland Social
Economic club in one Of the rooms IN

church last evening. The meeting was
devoted to a lecture by Kew. K. 5. }.

spoke for over an hour and gave very
interesting address.
"God did not make man simply tosbs

is not the chief aim of life to toll, to
be weighed down all Of the time by some
burden. Man was made to unfold and
develop the progress Of God. In spite OF
steam, in spite of the Inventions and in
spite OF all, poverty exists more today
than at any time during the history Of
the world. 1t Is on the increase and God
only knows the limit During my life
there have been periods of industrial de-
preston There 10 something peculiar
to them. They are confined to no ooun-
try, but are felt all over the world.
There are a large number OF men who
are compelled to be idle. A large amount
of aggregated capital, plants for manu-
featuring purposes, lays IDLE for large
part of the time. What is the cause of
this? There is the greatest suffering ana
poverty today in places where there is
the greatest wealth. Where you tnd the
greatest aggregation of wealth. you lind
it's greatest extreme. Tney are two COM
elements. You SAINT have one without
the other. Why should things be such as
they areg Civilization has got to answer.
The purpose OF this club this winter Is
to first get this problem so that those
who can attend can well understand
these things and become greater factors
in the community. We need first TO un.
derstand the nature and functions of
government. Every system OF ,econo-
mics has at its base form OF govern
ment. 10 me government is an arbltra-
~ thing. God made man s5ciaI ant

secure Justice. Before the winter is over

a system. We can make this class vastly
more interesting than studying novels.
