tBy Associated Press.1

NEW YORK. Oct. 27.-That Jack
Johnson is not trying to avoid the issue
with James J. Jeffries is indicated by a
telegram from the negro champion to a
local sporting man, in which he says:
will you please see Mr.. Jeffries and
learn where he proposes to meet me
when l arrive in New York? am leav-
ing Chicago today wednesday, on the
Twentieth Century limited, and must
be back in Chicago early Sunday morn
ing. Have had no word from Mr.. Jeff
ries as to when and where he will meet
me, so If you will find out the arrange
ments for the meeting 1 will know what
to do when 1 arrive in New York"
Sam Berger, manager for Jeffries,
was shown this telegram, and he said
that before the day was over he and
Jeffries would announce where and
when they would see Johnson. Accord
ing to the telegram, Johnson will arrive
here tomorrow night, at which 1t is
expected the final terms for the heavy
weight championship battle will be
agreed upon.
Jeff's Wind All Right
After Jeffries had had the obstruction
removed from his nasal passage he
drew his first free breath of air through
his nose since his first fight with Bob
flIZSlIil10OIlS. Ol IIldl OCCASION OIe VI
FitzsimmonS' vicious right swings
caved the champion nose in, and since
then he has been compelled to breathe
mostly through his mouth.
'It feels fine to breathe naturally"
said Jeffries, "and the best part of it is
that this will stop a lot of talk about
my wind being bad"
Since viewing the moving pictures of
the Johnson Ketchel fight Tom Sharkey
has offered his opinion concerning
Johnson. and from this statement of
the showing the negro made with
Ketchel, Sharkey now believes that
Jeffries will not have such an easy
time with Johnson. Sharkey says that
unless Jeffries is absolutely fit he will
be beaten, and he doubts that Jeffries
can ever again show the condition he
displayed in his last fight.
Big Offer False
The report telegraphed from Califor-
mia last night that N. S. Needham of
Coalinga, Cal, had offered 100000 for
the Jeffries-Johnson bout has not been
confirmed.
At the Jeffries headquarters Sam Ber-
ger was inclined to doubt the story,
while Jeffries himself laughed at it,
and said:
perhaps the wires got crossed"
Jeffries was out early today and took
q brisk walk through Central park and
up Riverside drive.
He is to pay a second visit today to
the surgeon who removed a growth in
the right nostril yesterday. His left
mostril is to be cleared in similar fash
ion.'
Berger would not comment on John
sons telegram asking for an appoint
ment with Jeffries here tomorrow fur
ther than to say that the two men
probably would meet tomorrow night.

Steady Ball

And with the class of ball continued
which was exhibited yesteray, 1t is bet
ter than even money that the local nine
will turn the trick. Yesterdays game
was not brilliant. The small crowd Oh
fans did not even enthuse greatly when
DiIIon's men turned defeat into victory.
But it showed that the team which Will
annex the short end of triangle purse
is capable of playing steady game OF
ball in the face OF which any club IN
the world will have a hard time scoring
to anv great extent. 1t was Portland
out in order inning after inning.
Thorsen, of course, had bad inning
to start with. But this is nothing un-
usual for Thorsen. He must have
moor start in order to settle down nice
iy and show the fans just how he
bitches those lead weights to the Thor
sen balloon. To this artist may be at
tributed the fact that but one run was
made off his delivery, and that the 1eW
scattered hits which the visitors Sc
cured throughout the remainder or the
game did no damage.
Pete Daley, the blue-eyed popular
hard-hitting and Johnny -on-the-spot
outfelder, was back in his old position
at center field. Wolfe was out of the
game. and Ross filled his old position in
the right garden.
Cooney flew to ]. Smith in the open
ing frame, and Olsen reached first when
Delmas pegged a trifle wild to Beall,
Olson purloined another station and
Graney walked. Graney became reck-
less and Orendorff whipped the sphere
to Beau. Beall failed to hold the breeze
burner, and Olson reposed safely at
third when the excitement had subsid-
ed. Johnson walked, filling the bases.
(Groans from the bleachers) McCredie
walked, forcing Olson over the plate.

But right here the streak stopped,
and so did the majority of the Beavers
when they had gotten to within hailing
distance of first base.
One to nothing stood the score until
the eighth. Right here Thorsen gave
the Angels a touch OF the spurs. Any
old horse can win from cheap company
if he's good enough. 1t takes a game
one to put up a stretch run under the
whip. This is the way Los Angeles be-
haved.
Orendorff went out, johnson to Ort.
Thorsen followed suit. Daley drew
pass and Goodwin singled. Pete taking

land for a double steal which worked

The Returns to Early Christianity.

The Returns to Early Christianity.
A careful and interested observer
cannot but be affected by the multi
tude of the attempts TO return TO the
spirit and life of early Christianity
and is led TO inquire what of truth
there is in them, and what, if any, of
them promise any improvement on the
prevalent life of churches. And he
will be impressed that most of the adj
herents of these movements exhibit
those characteristics which we have
already noted as marking the early
Christians and the movers in all the
great revivals.
Almost without exception the par
Elephants of these movements exhibit
a devotion and readiness for self-Sac-
rifice for their ideas which is not TO
tional churches. In such movements
as those led by Dowie and Sanford
multitudes have cheerfully sacrificed
their all and given it to these leaders;
and whatever may be thought of the
leaders, none can deny to these follow
ers, declares a writer i'll the Boston
Waterman, a devotion to their ideals
equal to that of the early disciples,
who sold their lands and houses land
brought the price of the things that
were sold and laid them at the apos-
ties feet Whatever may be their
errors, continues the Waterman, there
is discernible in the most of these
present-day movements toward primi-
tive Christianity a revival of that
spirit of love which was the distin-
gushing characteristic of the early
disciples of Christ. The fact that the
early Christian preaching was the,
preaching of love and charity, is
affectingIy developed by Professor
AdOlph Harnack in the third chapter
of The Expansion of Christianity in
the First Three Centuries and he
shows that this preaching and exhibit
ton of love was the most potent force
i'll the rapid spread of the early church.
The churches of the present day will
be wise in attentively regarding any
movement which makes love its cen
trail theme. Within the church also
there is to be seen at the present time
a strong movement akin to those men,
toned With the modern reticence in
regard to manifestations of heartfelt
emotions the word love is little used,
but it is thereby disguised under the
term brotherhood.
AS faith was the central principle of
the pre-formation of the 10th century.
fraternity is the kernel of the Chris
tan revival of the Goth century. Its
essence is Christian love; and with
this motive the Christian church of
the Goth century, like that of the first
three centuries. must conquer, if at all.

James j. Hill is the joy of the re-
porter's heart. He is The best copy
OF any man in public life. He has al
ways something to say which reads
well, and it is none the worse for the
fact that he sometimes says il with
his tongue in his check. The New
York American quotes him to the fol
lowing effect:
