Old Sport Says that's Why the
Fighting Game Is, So
Crooked.
BY OLD PORT.

Say, Old Sport, do you mean to say
that there has eve been any crooked
work in the fighting line among recog-
nized boxers?"
l looked around at the fellow who
fired this question at me the other
night net door in Charley's and asked
him what he was going to have. To
ell the truth / felt like asking him to
have hi. head examined but / didn't
and decided to treat him kindly.
Eyes, Kiddo, ever since the game was
invented there have been times when
n of the two men engaged in the
work of lighting have done crooked
things, and as the ages flew and time
has advanced the methods of this
crooked part of the game have likewise
progressed"
"NVell. well, you must have been hit
hard in your day." was the answer
hurled back at me.
Wrong again, you mutt, / answered,
and then thought of my first resolve
and requested the bartender to give
us another settler. I'll tell you some
thing, lad, you ought to know. Man is
mar and whatever game he Is tied vi
to he is inclined to find the easiest
method to get through with it. JUS

get something. Only the other day two
men up in Nutley started out on a foot
race. One cut the distance in two and
tried to honswaggle the other.
Simmer all this ragged philosophy
down and what does it mean?
Yes but is there no honest men in
this world, and hasn't the sporting
world got it's share" asked the crubit
one.
Sure, there IS. Plenty of them, and
especially in the boxing game, but that
doesn't brush away my saying that
there are crooks within the rank Of
pugilism. You see it is this way. The
| game itself is so full of chances to
make money that some fellows are so
impatient that they will not stick to
the honest paths but will resort to all
sorts of methods to get a slice of the
| cream. They call it "laying down."
but 1t is nothing else than merely
robbing the men who pay their good
money to see two men test their skill
at the American game.
ibid Sullivan ever lay DOWN." asked
the wise one. Only once. and hat was

Not on your life. I replied, but you

couldn't get up?
"oh, / don't mean that. ! mean did

NO, he never did. and the rest o.

ENGLISH RAGING

YANKEE THURMAN
EnOch Wishard Says 1t Is High
Proposition for Ameri'
can H0rsemer.

LEXINGTON, Feb. 10.-Enoch Wish
ard, on a visit to Leonatus stock farm
at Harrodsburg to inspect John A.
brakes Ort Wells, which Is doing stud
duty there, and twelve of the mares he
served last spring which have been
named by Mr.. Drake for the Futurity
Of 1910, issued a statement which caused
a stir hereabouts.
For American turfmeD," said WISH
ard, who has trained and raced a stable
there for Drake, racing in England Is
I high proposition. Our class OF handi-
cap horses, performers of a valuation
in this country from $4,000 to $4,000, are
handy racing tools In selling races
abroad. The noblemen of the British
turf think it no honor to win a selling
race, so the fields in such races are oil
a poor quality of horses, and a good
American bred performer has little
trouble to win them, but when it comes
TO the big two and three year-old
stakes, a different proposition is to be
faced.
'"The American, in these events, has
pitted against him the pick of English
breeding . and 1t takes a sensational
racer to win.
English trainers will go through al
entire season picking out the best o.
their strings to race for the n event
and the American owner will have
against him q dozen or more such high
type horses and, unless the American
has an exceptionally high-class per

vicinity.
Apparently the Father Mathews 7.
A. b. S., of this city, and, in fact. the
Bayley Lyceum and Bloomfield Catholic
Club teams are not as strong as they
were several years ago. but the young
blood is fast developing and the old
timers will soon have to take back
seats.
The Belleville boys made a record
score for an eight-man team last week
when it tailed 1856 points against the
st. Peters 6s. Not a single player on
the latter squad tasted victory.
Tonight a pair of warm games will
be contested. The Belleville anu
Bloomfield teams will meet on the lat
ter's board, and the T.. A. B.'s Will
visit st. Peters. The Saints will try
hard to defeat their opponents ana
even up an account of several weeks
ago when the II. A. BIS won with
ease from the Belmont avenue squad
on the r. A. BIS board.
The Bayley Lyceum eight will play
/ st. Peters on the latter's board 'omor-
row night. If the Saints win both
games they will move toward the Top
of the ladder. The final game in the
/ league of the week will take place on
ST. Augustine's board Friday night,

The winter journey across the Western

A. s. Richmond has displayed In

turning out in his Craft Shop on the

handsome but original in design and
of rare workmanship. The hand Of
the mester craftsman is diplayed in
every line of the different articles. 1t
is only recently that Oregon tlr has

that he models and in Its smooth, fine
finish. He has already made mauv
articles for residents here and II
would seem that there Is a very good
opening for large shop of this kind
at Hood River. In fact it is the nat
ural product for a plant of this kind
