S. A. A. c. MAKES GOOD ON
sFOUR-LN-ROW' PROMISE
WON, Q: LOST. 3; AVERAGE, $50.

WON, 9; LOST, 8; AVERAGE, ESQ.
That's the way the S. A. A. c.
record for the season looks after
taking the Portlanders down the
line in for four straight interclub
bouts last night, series of victor
les which places the S. A. A. c. at
tho top of the list of northwest
amateur athletic Gibbs and puts the
crushef on Mutnomah hopes.
Il wasn't necessary to win decis-
ions in. four bouts last night, Don
aid Numbers FORGETTING his match
because he weighed 1873 pounds,
three pounds over the required
weight. and eight pounds more than
Kelley, his opponent. This didn't
worry Kelley. however, for the boil
ermaker went on in an exhibition
and with bombardment of jabs
and right hooks, so cut up Num-
bcrs' physiognomy that the crowd
heaved a sigh of relief when a towel
from the Portland corner ended the
unequal contest in the third round.
Last nights smoker was the best
attended in the history of the local
club, standing room being at a
premium. It's a safe bet that next
time even more will apply for adj
mission. for the local fight fans look
forward TO these smokers as to
nothing else in the sporting world
these days, while the class of the
exhibitions improves with each
smoker.

COIN FOR FRANCE.
1T is not always realized what a
valuable asset the American and
English autOmobilist is to France.
The average autOmObilist remains
one month. The American rarely
stops less than six weeks, while the
Englishman is satisfied to run
over" for much shorter period.
The minimum expenditure of a
party of touring automobilists is so
francs day for each person, that
sum representing hotel accommo-
dations, food, upkeep of the auto
mobile and incidentals, but ignoring
amounts spent on works of art,
presents and other items. In view
of such train of gold the pro
pCsal of the French government to
impose tax on visiting automobile
lists appears to be unsound policy.
The extent of this movement is
shown by the fact that three lead
ing factories have opened Paris
touring bureau in the last two
years. H. d. Wilson, the head of
the Packard Motor Car Cos paris
office. says that from January l to
September 80 he was in touch with
more than 200 Packard touring par
ties, and expected to have a total Of
$50 at the end Of the year. The
actual number is doubtless greater
than this explained Mr.. Wilson.

feated 1875 FOUNDER spoke of his OPP
ponent after securing one fall in
1870, and another two minutes be-
fore the end of the bout, turning
the tables on the Portlander with a
leg hold and half nelson when
Nose had a full hammer on the
local boilermaker. Nose came out
of the affair with fractured rib.
Chris Gesek, the third S. A. A. c.
boilermaker, had little difficulty in
winning a decision from Vinson,
the dummy Multnomah mat artist,
playing it safe all the way on ac-
count of his bad wrist and resting
content with a decision for agrees
iyeness.
HUGHES oUTBoxEs OPPONENT
Red Hughes, the cleverest anna
teur boxer i'll this section of the
country, made his debut last night
as an interclub fighter. outboXing
Tunney, the former T. n. A. champ
in spite of the latter's superiority
in age, height and experience.
Tunney did not seem to be able
to control his mitts, swinging wildly
at times and whirling into the
ropes. Red evaded many of the
rushes, but always managed to
make a stand and plant three good
ones to one for the other fellow.
In the last round Red easily had
the better of it, breaking through
his opponents guard and landing
almost at will.
Kelley showed the stuff he is
made of by his easy victory over
Donald Numbers. The Portlander
could not evade the left jabs of the
coming northwest title holder and
when a series of wallops woke him
up to the situation. a right cross
would upset all calculations.

year. This season Yost moved him
to end, where he played in all of
the games except with Minnesota,
for which Wasmund was ineligible.
In that contest Miller went to quar-
ter, and it was his brilliant work
that won him the captaincy.
Whether Miller will be used at
quarter or end next season cannot
be predicted. His being at quarter
would give him the chance to run
the team without having to leave
his position and consult with an
other, if he were playing end. He
will have strenuous competition for
the field generals position, and
may show to greater advantage at
end.

EGAN sANDRY

EGAN sANDRY
We clip the following from the
5treater Qll.) Free Press:
AS a elimination of a long
standing courtship. Miss Beulah
Sandry of 1104 E. Bridge st. to
MIR. Howard j. Egan, of Tagus,
N. d. were yesterday united in
the holy bonds of matrimony.
A few years ago Miss Sandry
visited at the home of a mutual
] friend met Mr.. Egan of Beach,
N. D., who was also visiting in
that village. Tho their compan-
ionship on that occasion was nec-
essarily brief the personality of
each impressed itself upon the
other. and when they had parted
at Grand Ridge and Mr.. Egan
had returned to his western
home he wrote a letter to Miss
Sandry. This opened up a cor
respondence which ended in the
chime of wedding bells, many
beautiful gifts and, we trust, in
a long life of happiness for both
bride and groom. The bride is a
prepossessing young lady and is
very popular with large circle
of friends and acquaintances and
the groom is young man of
pleasing address; and we under
stand is connected with a bank
at Tagus. N. D."
Howard Egan is a brother of
Mrs. Gee of this city and of Mrs.
Sifert of Caldwell. He resided
at Ellington previous to going to
North Dakota he has many
friends and acquaintances here
who wish him JOY and happiness
in the future.

The Passing of Red Cloud.

Recently there departed from
the hunting grounds of South
Dakota at thePine Ridge Agency,
Red Cloud the famous 1r dian
Chief. He was the last of the
renowned Chiefs of the
Sioux. Speaking of his death
the Chicago Blade says: When
the final CON mand reached Red
Cloud to put away his tomahawk
and feathers, ana depart to the
blissful fields beyond, he was an
old man, as ages of white men
are reconed :being past "a.
For the benefit of the present
generation Of citizens, who ros-
sess little personal knowledge
about live Indians, it may be
stated that when Red Cloud was
horn, in 1925, nearly all of Uncle
Sans vast domains west Of the
Alleghneys was a wilderness,
populated only by red men.
Red Clouds father was a
warrior, as were most of the In
dians in those primitive days,
and it is no wonder that Red
Cloud became a fighter young,
managing to keep things around
him pretty we'll stirred up all
through life.
He was one Of the most active
young warriors of the Sioux and
became powerful in wars against
other tribes, and finally headed
the Sioux war against the Gov
ernment which was going on at
the same time as the Civil War,
from 1863 to 1868. At the close
of that war he and other cheifs
visited Washington andit was
supposed that he had been cowed
by seeing the white mans power
but he suppo1 ted Sitting Bull in
the Red Messiah craze in the
winter Of 1890 1881.
Compared with Geronimo. the
cruel Apache chief, who died a
year ago, Red Cloud was a gen.
tleman. Geronimo was famous
as a fiend while Red Cloud was
not only a great warrior but a
a statesman as well, and was
calm and cool and wise in coun
Gil.
1t is pleasant to know that,
with all his faults Red Cloud
probably did the best he knew
how, and also that when death
finally overlook him, UncleSam' &
protecting arm had heen lovingly
thrown around him."
