Friday night, and unprecedented and
fair-minded sportsmen were enthusias.
tic in praising him, even in the race OF
an unjustified, uncalled for and un-
reasonable criticism. He hold one
world record, at least, in that ne
refereed sixty-eight fights in three
nights and rendered as many decisions.
In San Francisco he is considered a
high-class sportsman and a referee
without a peer, even by his enemies,
and the uncalled for criticism of Graney
and the club fails to find approval any
where along the rialto.
Eddie Robinson leaves this morning
for San Bernardino to prepare for the
arrival of his duo of japanese scrap
pers, Oyama and Togo, who will tght
two San Berdoo boys, Kid Johnson ana
Waiter Fisher, before the Gate city
Athletic club Wednesday night. The
Jap boys will not go over until Wednes-
day morning, as Eddie fears the effects
of a change in altitude and wants his
boys to be in as good condition as pos
| sible for the hard game they are TO
| tackle. Both fights will be at ten
rounds at catchweights on winner
| take-all basis, and Eddie does not want
to take any unnecessary chances, espe-
cially since hearing such high praises

go over Wednesday morning, and a
large number of local sportsmen are ar
ranging to go that afternoon.
Liberality of the official scorer at the
Chutes in overlooking errors by the
players on both teams has started
controversy between a friend of mine
and myself. This friend takes excep-
tions to my statement in print that
"errors prevented Dolly from scoring a
shutout" in the Saturday afternoon

errorless game This friend gives me

The RiQItO

when they started to mauling each
other they soon fell overheard and had
to swim out. The large crowd, possibly
$500 persons, enjoyed the fun and the
drawn battle that ended when the bat
tiers took the headlong plunge into the
water.
Baron Long of the Jeffries club re-
ceived a telegram last night from T.
E. Jones, manager of Bill Papke, in
which the manager notified Long that
he and Papke would leave New York
for Los Angeles the night of August 19
and would arrive in the city four
days later. Papke is to fight Sailor
Burke the night of August 18 and he
will leave for the coast the following
night. Papke posted his forfeit in
Boston last week. Ketchell has had his
forfeit up for more than two weeks,
and the club forfeit was voluntarily in
creased a few days ago to $500, Baron
Long putting up an additional $1,000 to
set at rest all rumors regarding the
match. SO it seems that there can be
no doubt regarding the fight.
Just as was predicted in these col
umns and by Hen Berry, our old pal,
George Wheeler, proved yesterday that
no Portland player has any license to
contest anything with an Angel play

| Wheeler unwound his legs and got
started around the bases, the fans could
not see him for the dust and this sand
storm raised by George was as fierce
as a Santa Ana. Why, Wheeler could
have given Casey a handicap of one
| base and then beat him, the way they
ran yesterday. Wheeler won the $50
suit of clothes that Berry offered and
delighted the large crowd of fans that
witnessed the contest, if 1t can be con-
sidered such. Wheeler just proved by
this victory that he is there at any and
all stages of the game and fully justi-
fed the confidence which the fans have
in him, as we'll as increasing his per-
sonal popularity.
Neither Al Kaufman nor Jim Flynn
boxed Yesterday. Both went through
the usual gymnasium stunts, minus the
boxing, and good crowds attended, but
FLYNN is without a sparring partner
and Al thought it best to cut it out
until Billy Delaney arrives. Billy will
