This little fellow is >going to
cause an upheaval in feaSerweight
circles before many months roll by.
For the past year he has been COM
ing like racing automobile, and
now, in the hands of the veteran,
George Siddons, is showing class
which justifies the impression that
he will rapidly battle his way to
the top rank of the 122 pound class.
Kilbane's later appearance
marked the disposal of Kid Bruno,
a tough Chicago lad, who cashed
hic chips in eight rounds. Bruno
lasted the eight chiefly because he
had a nimble pair of kicks and the
art of ducking to finer point than
Charlie Mitchell ever dreamed of.
When he stood up and fought he
couldn't be seen for Kilbane's
gloves.

The secret Is out.

The secret Is out.
The Coast league does not desire
Portland exclusively so much as
to break the backbone Of the
Northwestern league. With Port
land out of the circuit the Coaster
magnates dope the league as strict
ly a two-club affair-Spokane and
Seattie-and figure that in 1911
these two cities will be glad to
join the California cities in great
err Pacific Coast league.
Judge Mercedes advocacy of
an eight-club Coast league is we'll
known, and the Coasters had this
in mind when they decided to
strike a blow at the Northwesterns
by taking Portland from them
They evidently figured that the
Mercedes would see the posi-
bilities in the situation and lay
low, which they were evidently
justified in believing from the
present actions of Judge Nc
Creedie.
Mercedes plan was for

How's this for dope upset. Sc
attic wins three out of four from
Portland and breaks even with
Vancouver; Vancouver loses four
straight to Portland Spokane
breaks even with Vancouver and
takes three out of four from Sc
attic.
From this mixup, who will be
the winner of the P. N. A. boxing
and wrestling championship this
season? Who can tell?
One thing is certain, Spokane
has in Breckin and Gesek a couple
of wrestlers who will win practical
ly every bout in which they are
entered this season. Breck1n
proved his superiority at Vancou-
yer and in this city Friday night,
while Gesek, with sprained
wrist, easily won from Ward, the
only 145-pound wrestler in the cir
cult who has a chance with the
local lad.
AS for boxers, at present Spo-
kane is an unknown quantity, at
least in several divisions. Creel is
confident that he will have an I'M
beatable quartet within a month,
and the writer thinks him justified
in his optimistic declaration.
In Red Hughes at 105 pounds the
club has one of the most promising
youngsters on the coast. When
Creel has given Kid Mccoy a les
son day for the next month, the
115-pounder will be fit to uphold
the local colors anywhere on the
coast.
The 125-pound division is as yet
uncertain. Jack Kaye, the lad
who started out like a world-beater,
showed less class in his last affair
than when he fought Dranga a few
weeks after doning gloves for the
first time. 1t is a Dity to see such

BANISHES BOXING

The Y. NJ. G. A. at Seattle has
put the ban on boxing. Before the
association lads were fairly started
on the seasons course, the board
of trustees decided that the manly
art" has no place in the curriculum,
and the SO or more lads who were
anxious to learn the rudiments of
self defense must go elsewhere for
their instruction.

SEVERE SLUMP IN
PRICE OF WHEAT
Realizing Sales Cause Depres-
sion In the Market
SENTIMENT Is BEARlSH
Corn Is Somewhat Irregular During the
Day and Weakens on Talk of
Larger Receipts = Oats Close
Steady and Provisions Firm.

Chicago, November 26-Wheat for De-
oember delivery experienced a severe set
back today when the price dropped
29sc as a result of realizing sales. Other
deliveries displayed less weakness. AT
the close prices were unchanged to IA
@ssc lower, compared with Wednesdays
final figures. Corn and oats closed steady
and provisions firm.
Liquidation of December holdings was
the feature of trading in the wheat pit.
Leading longs began to sell freely soon
after the opening, and this induced many
of the smaller holders to sell, and also
brought out numerous stop loss orders.
From $1.09A, the opening high point,
which was the highest mark for the day,
the price of the December option dropped
to 81 .06ss. May, In the meantime, sold off
from 81 .071< to 81 .O6js. The market rallied
in the final hour. but sentiment at the
close was still bearish. Final quotations
on December were $1.07ss, and on May
81. 0e5s.
Wet weather reports from Argentina,
which were responsible for a bulge of ssd
to Id in wheat prices at Liverpool were
the chief reasons for initial gains here
of Nc to N@7sc. These reports were later
discredited.
The corn market was somewhat ir
regular, the greater part of the day. the
December delivery being rather weak and
the more distant options firm. The De-
cember delivery was subjected to consid-
cradle selling pressure all day owing
to the talk of increased receipts, while
the May option was in fair demand by In
f1uential houses. At the close, prices were
h@Ac lower to A03sc higher.
Buying of the May delivery by leading
elevator interests impaired considerable
strength to the oats market. Changing
from December holdings to those of May
was another feature of trading. which was
more active than for some time past
prices at the close showed net gains of n
to AQasc.
Provisions were strong all day because
OF active buying by packers based on
large falling off in hog packing for the
week at western centers. Light receipts
of hogs today throughout the west also
prompted considerable buying. Total re-
ceipts of live hogs at the principal CEN
ters were estimated at $1,000 head. COM

day year ago. Prices at the close

response. to bullish southern crop and spot
advices, with the close steady at a net
advance of 10 to 10 points.
The market opened firm at an advance
of l point on December, but generally 10
to Is points higher in response to better
cables than expected, Liverpool having
made a very steady showing over the
American holiday. December was held
back at first by fears of notices, while
Liverpool was quite a heavy seller of
later positions, evidently on stradde ac-
counts. This caused some irregularity
during the morning, but there was con-
siderable southern buying based on re-
ports of firm interior spot situation and
a crop estimate of only 100000 bales. in

hold the market pretty close to the in
itial figures until after the close of Liv-
erpool. when arbitrage selling orders were
withdrawn and prices here did better on
continued support from the south and
covering by some of Wednesdays sell
ers.

stopped at a discount of from 10 to q
points under January. and last December
moved up with the rest OF the list. Janu-
airy contracts sold at IA. d5c and May at
Is .05c during the middle of the afternoon,
or about 20 points net higher, but closed
a little off from the top under realizing.
The light into-sight movement and the
small increase in the visible supply of
American cotton for the week helped to
sustain prices during the afternoon.
Southern spot markets officially report
ed early were 1so higher to 3-16c lower.

change estimated the crop on the av-
erage at II. $4,000 bales.
