SAYS BILL WON'T PASS.
Fish Commissioner Opposed to State
Game Warden's Measure.

BELLINGHAM, Feb. Al have
the state legislature fixed so there will
be no state game warden appointed
said State Fish Commissioner Ker-
shaw this morning.
Mr.. Kershaw has just returned from
Olympia AS the fish commissioner
delivered himself of this declaration
his face was wreathed in smiles and
his very bearing indicated that he
was confident that the sportsmen OF
the state were going to lose out in
their advocacy of a bill creating such
an office.
Il am opposed to the BILL continued
Mr.. Kershaw, because a state game
warden would stock the salmon
streams with black bass, which would
destroy the salmon. There is nothing
in the report that 1 am opposing it on
the ground that my salary will be cut
down if the new Office is created. That
will not be effected. The bill is not
yet out of the committee and when
it does emerge it cannot be passed,
because l have a majority of the legis-
lature with me-

Baseball Maanates In Session.

NEW YORK, Feb. 14.-This is a
busy week for the magnates of the
two major baseball leagues. Today,
at the Hotel Breslin,. the American
league went into session to perfect
it's schedule and arrange other plans
incidental to the coming championship
season, while the board of directors of
the National league convened at the
Hotel Victoria to investigate the
actions of Pitcher Jack Taylor in the
game between St. Louis and Pittsburg
on July 30 last year. at Pittsburg.
This case, however, has nothing to
do with the one against Taylor which
is now before the national commits
sion.
Tomorrow the national league will
hold meeting for the purpose of
adopting its schedule. To furnish ad-
ditional food for gossip for the fans
there is also a possibility of the Ma
tional commission holding a session
later in the week to hear the charge
against Pitcher Taylor by President
Hart Of the Chicago National league
club and to arrange the series for the
worlds championship.

MUMRoE IN THE RING AGAIN REILLY IN FINE SHAPE
SPORTING EDITOR OF THE
SPOKANE PRESS.
Mccarthy Also in Fine Condition for
Fight Thursday Night-in*er-
esting Sporting Gossop.

Il was up to see Jack REILLY work
out in his training quarters over the
Club cafe-and it's trip worth any
body's time to take" writes Willie B.
Goode, sporting editor of the Spokane
Press.
1--WE seen a lot of the boys work
more energy or hard digging and the
pounding than Reilly does.
Jerry Mccarthy is great on working
around his training quarters-but
Jerry never is able to get hold of a
man to stand the hard punching for
| good turn.
Reilly has got this one essential to
good training quarters. He has
| Friday Barney Mullin, who is one
of the toughest pieces of hog anatomy
VINO ever left the green side.
Barney has broken down many a
trainer himself and has his own ideas
about how much a trainer should
stand winen it comes his turn. And he
is standing it.
1.-The daily bout between Jack and
Barney is better than the bunch of
prelims one sees in the usual contests.
There's very little monkey business
about their goes.
Barney will use a few wild hay
makers to keep Jack ducking and side
stepping, but when they come together
there are no love taps.
1.-The pair went together for three
short rounds and this came after Jack
had gotten up a good, healthy sweat
with a lot of hand work which showed
but little in his wind.
Right from the call of time the
two went at it. Barney was slam
banging mostly, but the close, short.
choppy blows of Reilly jolted him con-
siderably
when the bout was over Barney
was BLEEDING from the ear and the
mouth and putting like steam en-

condition by giving no signs Of being
winded in the hot mixup. There are
few boys who could work together so

examiner SCHEDULED FOR A
Six-ROUND BOUT WITH
:
JACK WILLIE.
Pair Will Meet in Philadelphia-Mun
roe's First Appearance Since
Beaten by Jeffries.

Jack Munroe will make another at
tempt to earn few dollars in the ring
and it is to be hoped that he gives a
better exhibition that his last one.
A Philadelphia club will put the miner
on shortly with Jack Willie, in a six
round bout. Willie gave Jack O'Brien
such a hard tussle recently that he is
looked upon as a good man to go
against Munroe, who outweighs him
fully thirty pounds.
Munroe has not fought since he
faced Jim Jeffries in San Francisco.
This was so rank an affair that clubs
would not do business with him, but
now he will have a chance to square
himself with the sports. BY some GU
rious and mysterious process of reas-
| oning Willie figures that Munroe is the
second best heavyweight in the world.
If he gives MIN a decisive beating,
Willie says he will turn his attentions
to Jeffries. This is funny.
1t is not so many years ago that
Willie was soundly thrashed by Kid
Carter at Oakland. How long would
Carter last in the same ring with JEFF
fries? About as long as it would take
Jeffries to walk across the ring.
which would be something less than
ten seconds.
While talking of his match with
Munroe, the other day, Willie said:
According to the way I figure it,,
Munroe is the second best heavy
weight in the world today. Jeffries
disposed of him in two rounds, which
proved that he not quite to Jeffries'
class, but mis- decisive defeat of Tom
Sharkey shows he is equal at least of
any of the others.
IT shall be conceding a lot of weight
to- Munroe, but at that l think 1 will
whip him. If do succeed in putting
Jack down for the count I shall lose
no time in challenging Jeffries. I rea
lie perfectly we'll that the public will
not take my challenge seriously
enough to warrant Jeffries meeting me

TALES OF THE oLDEN TIMES
a. !. MINER OF SPOKANE TELLS
OF EARLY DAYS IN
WALLA WAlLA.
Ere;obted Out of Here in 1857-ln

Camp Ground.

With a wife VINO is almost 60 years
his junior partner, and with an OLD
corncob pipe as a solace in his declin-
ing years. A. j. Miner. 92 years Old
Main avenue, says the Spokesman
Review. He is probably one OF the
first men who operated a pack train
from WalIa Walla to Fort Steele, B. G.
Sitting in a favorite rocking chair,
with his long gray beard sweeping
across his chest and with his corncob
pipe going full blast, he told of the
time when Spokane was nothing but
a timber tract and Indians were dry
ing fish for winter use in the woods
where the city hall now stands. Mr..
Miner packed goods from Walla Walla
to Fort Steele in 1857, and frequent
Iy passed along the trail which then
passed through the present site of the
city.
Although Mr. Miners massive frame
is bent with age, and he is only a
shadow of his former self he is still
able to read ordinary print without
the aid of glasses, and is able to walk
about the streets and around the
house without the aid of a cane. He
was born in Glasgow, Scotland, in
1918, and was brought to this country
when one year old. His father was a
member of the Virginia legislature
just after the war of 1912.
Crossed the Plains in 1847.
In 1S47 Mr.. Miner and a party of 123
crossed the plains to Oregon and set
tied near Salem, where he was en-
gagged in raising cattle. He was one
of the first men that drove stake on
the site where Walla Walla now stands
and built one of the first cabins there
