Mccormick Says Fitz

Big Jim Mccormick, who is boxing
with John L. Sullivan at the Star the
atre in Tacoma this week, read the an
nOuncement that Bob Fitzsimmons
and Mike Schrcck had been matched to
fight 20 rounds in Salt Lake City on
the Fourth CT July.
"F'itz will Win," said Mccormick. I
know there are many among the wise
ones who think F'itz has gone back and
should be Oslerized but they will be
disappointed. 1t is true Bob is A
years old, but he can go a few rounds
so fast that the best of them will be
kept busy saving himself from knock
out. 1t may not be a pickup for Fitz,
but the Cornishman will win, bar ac-
cidents.''
Asked about John L. Sullivan, Nc
Cormick said:
Watch him. Since he was matched
with Mitchell he has improved con-
siierably. l know, because l have to
take what he hands out. His bellows
blow better, and he is 20 per cent fast
er than he was fortnight ago..

Many Walla Walla people have sig
nified their intention of taking part ir
on the excursion that will be made by
the portage railway at Cello. 1t is
expected that a large number will &C
tine excursion that will be made by
boat from Lewiston.
The trip to the portage road by the
steamer Mountain Gem on June 2 is
now being advertised in all the larger
cities of the Inland Empire, and it is
believed that the full passenger quote
will be sold out. The Mountain Gem
will carry those who desire to make
the river trip and be present to par
ticipate in the formal opening of the
portage road to the public. The mat
ter has been placed in the hands of a
committee consisting of Messrs, c. F.
Osmers Robert Schleischer and E. H.
Libby of Lewiston, and all the COM
mercial bodies in the country tributary
have been advised of the trip and the
rate secured and have been asked to
provide excursionists for the trip.
The steamer will leave Lewiston on
the morning of June 2 and will give
a rate of 81 to the portage road, and
from Walla Walla or Wallula the rate
will be 50. An effort is now being
made to secure a satisfactory rate
from Portland to Lewiston over the
Northern Pacific or Oregon Railway
& Navigation company, by which the
excusionists can go to Portland by the
river route and after spending a few
days at the fair return home by rail
transportation. The steamer Noun
tain Gem will return to Lewiston the
day following the opening exercises,
but it is expected the trip up the river
will require about three days and few
of the excursionists will care to re.
turn by boat.
1t is planned to make the trip to the
portage one long to be remembered as
the era of the new development of the
Inland Empire. Special souvenir tick
cts will be prepared for the occasion,
and will be returned to the passengers
as souvenirs of the trip.

SPOR


Frank Gotch, of Iowa, who is well
known on the sound, having appeared
there after coming out of Alaska, de-
clares that he is through with the
wrestling game and that from now on
his only aspiration is that of becoming
champion heavyweight fighter of the
world.
Goth has his first real test as a box
er few days ago in New York, when
ne met Kid Mccoy in a three round
exhibition. Gotch showed up we'll in
mis- lively bout with the Hoosier, who
without doubt, is one of the most skill
full opponents of the manly art, and
those who witnessed Gotch's perform
ance were of the opinion that In him
there is good material for first rate
fighter.
the showing made by Gotch, and, while
he acknowledges that Gotch is far
from champion at the present time,
he believes that he will make his mark
in the ring.
Gotch showed several good points in
his bout. He showed that he was not
averse to taking a wallop, and that
he had a good punch himself, when
ever an opportunity presented itself.
Mccoy, with his crafty, shifting tao
tics, was the hardest kind of game a
man like Gotch could encounter but
the westerner knew this when he start
ed out and was willing to take wal
lop to reach his opponent.
Mccoy set a pretty fast gait for
Gotch in the first round, and mad him
putting at the finish, but neither man
Gotch uncovered his favorite wallop
when he sent a hard right hand hook
to McCoy's jaw
Mccoy, of course, did not try to put
his man out, but he sent home some
hard short arm jolts, and Gotten stood
them well. Mccoy used his left hand
jab several times in the second round,
but GOtch simply rushed in, paying
little attention to the effect of the blow,
and sending across his right hand
swing.
The third round was another lively
affair, Mccoy cutting out the pace and
making Gotch do some lively blocking
and side-stepping to get out Of dan
ger. Gotch did most of mis- effective
work at close quarters, notwithstand-
ing the fact that he has a reach as
great as that of McCoy's. After the
bout Mccoy said that he believed
Gotch would make a good fighter, and
that he thought Gotch was a much
better man for the ring than Monroe;
that ne possessed a good punch and
was fast on his feet.

POPE WILL ALLOW VERY REVER-
END LUIS MARTIN TO CELE-
BRATE MASS
General of Jesuits Will Not Be Depriv.
ed of Honor Although He Has
Lost His Arm

NEW YORK, May 25.-Information
has been received here from Rome that
the pope will accord to the Very Rev.
Luis Martin, general of the Jesuits,
the extraordinary privilege of still
celebrating mass, although his right
, arm has been impuetated.
One of the strictest rules of the Ro-
man Catholic church is that in regard
to what are designated the "canonical
| fingers of the priests. These are the
thumb and index finger of each hand,
which alone are allowed to touch the
Blessed Sacrament. They are espec :
tally Amounted with holy oil when the
priest is ordained.
AS stated in the cable dispatches
some time ago, Father Martin, owing
to cancerous affection, had to have
his whole right arm amputated. This
would ordinarily nave prevented him
from celebrating mass again. When
the pope learned of the operation and
that Father Martin was rallying from
the effects he said that so beloved a
priest should not be deprived of the
consolation of his daily mass" Anoth-
er priest will have to assist him at the
altar however.
OF all the cities of the world New
York has had two notable instances of
the ecclesiastical value set on the Ca
nonical fingers Father O'Reilly, the
late rector of the church of Our Lady
of Good Counsel, in East Nineteenth
street, lost mis- life by an effort to save
canonical finger. He injured his
thumb while finishing and blood pois-
oning set in. He refused to have it
amputated, and thus lost his right to
say mass until it was too late to save
his life
The Jesuit missionary, Father Isaac
JOgues, who, it is expected, will soon
be canonized as New YOrks first saint,
had mis- thumb and four fingers hack
ed and bitten off in the most barber
Gus manner by the Mohawk Indians
returned to Europe. Pope Urban VIII,
hearing of his mutilated hands, sent
citrate mass.

MAGAZINES
Suggestion for June.

Personal Magnetism and Auto Sug-
gestion,' is the title of the leading ar
ticle in Suggestion. for June; a mag
azine of the new psychology for think
ers (Chicago). The writer holds that
personal magnetism may be acquired
by all; that it is not a mysterious, oc-
cult qualitq: and ne gives some rules
for acquiring those qualities which
make friends; other articles relate to
phychic research, suggestive therapeu-
tics, the power of mind to produce
health or sickness, nature cure, hy-
giene, and in general the application
of the new PSYCHOLOGY for health, hap
piness and success. The magazine ad-
vocates the theory that correct mental
attitudes have far reaching effects on
every condition of life, and that all
have inherent psychic powers which
may be cultivated with great profit.
