Garry Hermann, who doesn't
waste any affection on Heydler,
and the pair decided to work to-
gether.
The next move was for Murphy
'to descend upon New York with his
loud vests and coax John Il. Brush
of the Giants and President Eb-
belts of the Brooklyn club to join
hands with Hermann and himself.
All the coaxing Murphy had to do
with Ebbetts you could carve on
granite and stick in your eye, and
it wouldn't hurt.
But John II. Brush wanted to sec
something tangible, so Murphy in
duced Charles p. Taft, who belongs
in the fame family because he is
brother of president, to put some
sort of screws on Brush, and the
human yardstick came in.
The influence used on Brush was
promise to let Johnny King go to
New York, providing Brush voted
with Murphy-Herrmann-Ebb etts.
Anyway you figure 1t, Murphy
seems to have four votes cinched to
nut the rollers under John Heydler,

WANTS CREEL TO FIGHT BURKE;
BOUT MAY Be STAGED HERE

Fred Creel, boxing instructor at
the S. A. A. c., the man who won
the 'welterweight, middelweight
and heavyweight amateur title in
the local athletic club a few years
ago, is in great demand in the
northwest.
According to communication
received by the writer this morn
ing, Instructor Paris of the Van
couver Athletic clug is trying to
bring about meeting between
Fireman Burke and the local in
structor at catch weights, offering
a substantial purse to tempt Creel
into the ring with the Pride of
Vancouver"
Yesterday Creel received a letter
from Louie Long in which Louie
states that he had an opportunity
to match Creel and Chester Brown
of Seattle in Tacoma.
Paris, Long and the rest of
them know that ! cannot be coaXed
away from Spokane for a fight"
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1909-11-19

said Creel last night. But this l
will'say, | will met any man of my
weight in an exhibition bout before
the s. A. A. c. if the club will
stage it.
ITS true" he admitted. that
Paris is trying to bring about a
match between Burke and myself,
but there is nothing doing for Van
couver. Although the erstwhile
amateur weighs 1853 to my 145,
am willing to take him on here if
arrangements can be made with
the club authorities"
Spokane boving enthusiasts are
to see Creel in action over a six or
10 round course in this city before
the winter is over, If present plans
materialize. A couple of clever
men will be brought here to try
conclusions with the local man. and
judging from Creel's popularity, it
will take larger place than the
S. A. A. c. gymnasium to hold the
fans.

Tonight that we'll known play,
"The Rivals" will be staged at the
Spokane Amateur Athletic clubs
gymnasium, with Seattle and Spo-
kane holding the center of the
stage There are rivals and rivals,
but the rivalry that exists between
the athletic clubs of the two Wash

almost bitter, and the hundreds of
fight fans who realize this full well
are going to be on hand in full
force to witness the four fast and
furious wrestling and boxing bouts
scheduled for the opening smoker
of the season between these two
clubs.
OF course the Spokane officials
are confident. Cisco Bullivant is
certain that Chris Gesek and
George Brechin will cop the wrest-
ling honors, while Fred Creel is
equally confident that Jack Kaye
will once more defeat Clark, and
Bob Bracken put it all over Jack
Novak.
On the other hand, strange to

there was still a chance for organ

Judge w. w. McCreedie is quoted
in Portland as confident that the
peace of several years would not
be broken and that Portland would
yet be awarded to this league.
The writer ''opines" that such a
statement. if it was made, is too
mild for the situation, and likely to
stiffen the Coasters more than
ever.
An uncompromising front, with
an out and out declaration of war,
would do more to bring about The

and conciliatory statements attrib-
uted to certain northern magnates.

But just to illuminate, I'm going
to tip you off this Murphy person
and some of his acts, which the
unthinking may classify as clever,

cheap politics.
Murphy loves President John

majesty for the Lenten season.

but he has already shown he will
go some distance to get rid of the
late Harry Pulliam's friend.
To begin with, when he deter

most logical man to head the
league. Then he lined up with

has not had time to devote to con-

ideas. Unfortunately he Is only q
good executive, not politician.
And this effort to MurphyiZe the

While interest in the Mason Valley
district is centercd to a great ex'
tent in the progress of the new Cop
per Belt railroad, it is stated that the
working force at the Nevada Doug
las property, the product OF which
the road Will handle, is by no means
idle, but that all is being put in readi-
ness for extensive production. Oper-
ations are being carried on in the 90
foot incline shaft, and the surface
equipment, hosting plant, ore bins
etc, is practically complete. The shaft
has been almost entirely timbered
cross.heads and dumping bins are be
ing put In and il is stated that the
mine will be in readiness for increased
operations before the railroad has
reached that point Considerable work
cuts for the switchback tracks which
will be necessary in order to get the
cars up to the loading bins at the
shaft

and construction. IT was driven from

it intcrsccts the main mine workings
of the richer carbonate ores at the
