Jet1ieS Seems to Be
GETTING into Shade

Despite the trip through the north
west OF James j. Jeffries over week
ago the visit of the worlds greatest
exponent of the fistic game continues
to be discussed in all circles. It is Jef-
fries this and Jeffries that in almost
every corner where fistic or other ath-
letic stunts are discussed and while
there still remain II few spectators
who are willing to take chance on
ack Johnson in the betting line. these
are mostly men who did not avail them
selves of the opportunity of seeing
the big white man when he was here.
During a discussion the other day
a white admirer of Jack Johnson ,,.-
heard to voice the opinion that the
negro would beat jeff. and when he
was pressed for his reasons he replied:
We'll in the first place the niger is
younger, and in the second place he
has not gone the pace like Jeff. and
the third reason is that he is long odds
the shlftiest boxer outside of Jim Cor
bett, that ever stepped into the arena"
Admittedly the trio of reasons are
worth considering, yet at the same
time each can be refuted by evidences
Of fact. The admirer of Johnson issues
his first reason based on the age of
the two men. James j. Jeffries was
born at Carroll, O., April Is, 1875, and
Jack Johnson was born at Galveston,
Texas, March 81, 1878, which shows a
difference of only three years between
the two men.
James j. Corbett was eight years
younger than John L. Sullivan Wnen
he defeated the idol of the pugilistic
world" at New Orleans in 1892, and
Robert Fitzsimmons was four years
older than Corbett when he took the
laUrels away from the Californian In
1897. From this record a logical rea-
soning can be deduced in favor of
COrbett was one-year older than
Jack Johnson is now when he met
Robert FitzsimmOns. and during the
interval between his defeat of Suli1-
van and his meeting with the Ruby
Dine" Corbett went the pace just as
Jack Johnson is now doing Jeffries

the Oregon farmers are weaker than
last year.
The keenest rivalry exists at pres
ent between the atlethes of w. S. G.
and Whitman and when these two
teams line up against each other Mon
day night the basketball fans both of
well, will follow the result with inter
est Washington state so far this sea-
man lost one game TO Oregon AGricul-
tural college.
At the present time the State COL
lege team is making a tour of Oregon
and is meeting the Oregon Agricul-
tural college team, the University of
Oregon and on their return trip will
stop off in WalIa Walla and play the
first of a series of three games. From
the fact that the W. S. c. men will
have spent the bigger part of a week
in travelling it is expected that they
will not be in the best possible ply
steal condition. The Whitman men are
training faithfully and putting in good
practice every night and when the
farmers arrive in the city it is eX-
pected that both teams viii go out for
gore.
The reports say that Englehorn the
former Spokane High school basket

game for W. S. c. last fall is playing
a wonderful game at center in basket

that Manager McGraW decided to cut

be permitted to pitch the game there.
