Brilliant Career in Prize Ring
Bv ARTHUR L. PRICE

/ liminary contest yesterday, there
should have been, because one of the
preliminary fighters, a versatile chap.
whiIed away his time before the con-
test by peddling scalped tickets. He
was arrested.
The ringside was the gathering place
of celebrities. Nat Goodwin, the come
dian, was there, and so was Robert
Mantell. the tragedian. James Britt,
the father of Jimmy" who was con-
quered by Nelson four years ago, sat
TO see Nelson come to his defeat. Ed
die Graney and Tex Richard were
there, of course. So were Senator Gus
Hartman and other politicians. sport
ing men and prominent people. Many
sailors from the warships in the bay
were among the crowd.
There was a long, long wait before
the fighters appeared. While the con-
test was scheduled for , o'clock it was
2:55 before -~Wolgas appeared and Is
minutes later before Nelson came into
the ring
NEW CHAMPION WELL SET UP
Wolgast,, the new hero in the fight
ing game, is a chap y years of age,
with a shock of dark hair and a dark
skin. He weighs less than 1873 pounds.
He climbed into the ring wearing a
action he was in white trunks and
fighting shoes and wore a red and blue
sash about his waist. He is a hand
somely put up boy. with bullying mus
cIes on his shoulders and rather lean
legs His face is peculiarly fiat His
nose, while broad, is set close to his
face. He has large mouth and a
hard smile at times.
Wolgast grew impatient over Mel
sons delay in following him into the
ring. Nelson viii get fat while he is
waiting" he said, but Eli cut him
down to my size
At $40 Nelson came in on the back
of Abdul the Turk. He had put on his
lighting shoes in his dressing room and
would not risk wetting his feet in the
SLOPPY arena. Nelson wore his red
shirt. He DOTTED it and stood in blue
knit trunks.
Billy Jordan, the announcer was
there to offfciate. He introduced VOL
CAST first as THE flying Dutchman of
Milwaukee-Ad Wolgast.''
Nelson was introduced as Still the
hardest nut to crack, the lightweight
champion of the world, Battling Mel

Then came "a series of other people
to be introduced, including a young man
in green plush hat, who proved to be
Sid Hester, the promoter of the fight
There were photographers who want

up the interest. The men had drawn

verified the prediction of the mitten.
The referee, Eddie Smith, a news
paper writer, appeared, to give a light
and jaunty touch to the picture. He
was a shirt waist man and wore a
bonny little cap and properly wide
trousers.
When Nelson, Wolgast and Smith
found themselves alone in the ring the
battle started. 1t was then 500 o'clock.
The sun came out and warmed the
field.

MYSTERY WOMAN MOVES
INTO MYSTERY HOUSE

New York.-Mrs John William Jen-
kins-the woman of mystery'-is
moving into the "house of mystery"
at 80 West Eighty-seventh street,
which she purchased last week for
$225,00 and paid for in cash. She
plans to be all settled by the middle
of next week-and her new neigh
bors are wondering what she will do
next
Mrs. jenkins is as much of a mys-
terry today as she was last Decem-
ber, when she reported to the police
that she had lost 5000, 900 worth of
diamonds and gems. More than that
she proved that she actually owned
jewels of that value.
She owns a home on Chicago's
famous boulevard, Sheridan road, and
another in Memphis. No one knows
her. No one knows her husband. She
is known to be an enthusiastic devo-
tee of the races.
The :house of mystery which she
has bought and paid for was built by
Louis V. Bell, the broker, clubman
and racing man, and looks more like
q gloomy, forbidding prison than a
home. The doors and windows are
guarded by heavy steel bars with pom
derous locks.

HUNTS THROUGH TREASURY
FOR A TREASURE CASKET

Washington.-Excited by stories OF
q rich treasure casket concealed some-
where in the vaults OF the treasury
department. Representative Flood of
Virginia. instigated a search which,
leading through many musty volumes
and through rooms long closed to
the light has just been concluded.
The story which at first attracted
Representative Floods attention was
to the effect that in 1926 the EN-
peror of Japan sent a casket filled
with gold and precious stones to
President Monroe, as present.
Starting with this as a basis, treas
ury department officials made a hunt
through the archives of the DEPART
ment and established the fact that
Imaum of Muskat sent to President
Van Buren treasure box. II con-
tained bottle of diamonds, a bottle
of pearls, a bottle of altar OF roses,
gold plate with some gold orna-
ments and a box of mixed diamonds
and pearls.
These were placed on exhibition in
the old patent office where they at
tracted the cupldity of a thief. He
stole them but they were recovered
within short time and in 1S49 the
box with its precious contents was
placed in the treasury department for
safe keeping. After remaining there
for several years the present from the
Imaum was deposited in the Smith
sonian Institute where It is now kept.

McCredie's foreigners are some ball
players and this the. fan admitted as
do all the fans who have seen the
webfooters in action.
McCredie has worn circular path
in right field at Chutes park in just
the few days his club has been in
town. There's not a fan on the cir
cult that does not know the Beavers
leaders habit of running around in
circles and shying pebbles at the un-
offending right field fence when
things aren't just right for him.
The Judge" hasn't outgrown this
habit and his little circle in right field
is growing deeper every day. Coy, OF
the Vernon outfit, has given the Judge
notice that he will protest to Presi-
dent Graham if the wanderlngs aren't
stopped.
If the verdict of the local fans is to
be accepted McCredie surely has pick
ed up a conner in young Knapp. who
humbled the Hoganites early last
week. Knapp seemed to have every
thing when he took the mound at the
Chutes, and the Villagers were all but
helpless before him.

Standing of Teams.
(staff Correspondence.) J


Stanfield, April 11.-Stanfield's
snappy ball tossers yesterday suffer-
ed their first defeat Of the season in
a ten inning game with the Hermis-
ton teams by the score Of to 5. The
game was played in Stanfield before
q large crowd, the Hermiston popu-
lace accompanying their champions en-
masse, and from the first ball until
the last was replete with thrills.
Phelps, who occupied the mound for
the Hermistonian colts until the sixth,
delivered p a rare article Of puzzling
slants and when he retired Stanfield's
score column read zero, while his own
team had chased over three runs, two
in the fourth and one in the fifth in
ming. Two more were annexed in the
sixth, bringing the total up to five.
II was in this inning that the home
boys began to see daylight through
the darkness. West, who replaced
Phelps in the box, was found freely
before he could get his arm in" and
with few choice errors behind him,
allowed four runners to cross the
home bag. One more was rung up in
the eighth, tying the score. Neither
side could do anything in the ninth,
but in their half Of the tenth the Wis
itors by a rafting rally, sent two run
rers around the complete circuit
Hutchinson who was the slab artist for
Stanfeld, pitched a steady game
throughout, but could not prevent a
couple Of bad innings. BY winning
the contest yesterday, the Hermiston
team is tied with Stanfield for top
honors in the Irrigation league. The
game was umpired by J. s. West Of
