Pre- Columbian Voyages.

Concerning the subject OF the discov.
cry OF America John Fisks says:
Nothing can be clearer from a survey
OF the whole subject than that these
pre-Columblan voyages were quite bar
rem Of results Of historic Importance.
In point Of colonization they produced
the two ill fated settlements on the
Greenland coast and nothing more;
otherwise they made no real addition
to the stock of geographical knowI-
edge. They wrought no effect what
ever upon the European mind. In no
ense was any real contact established
between the eastern and western
halves Of our planet until the great
voyage Of Columbus IN 1902"

Welch. He has a reputation for
honesty, and as for skill, l think he
is the most competent man in the
country.
The first fight Welch refereed
was the battle between Del Hawk
ins and Joe Cans. His good work
on that occasion won instant recog-
milton for him and since that time
he has been the third man in the
ring in many of the most import
ant battles fought on this side of
the Rockies.
He was the arbitrator in the
ketchel-Johnson quarrel and his
last appearance in the ring was
when Dannie Webster and Monte

FOUR-CLUb LEAGUE LOOKS

A four club league for 1910, big
money and a large reserve fund,
with the invasion of Portland in
1911, was the talk at the. annual
baseball writer's dinner last night
at Davenport's.
That wasn't the subject upon
which the "maggots" fans and
scribes spent several happy hours,
for the greater part of the time
was spent in dishing out the warm
stuff to President w. II. Lucas,
Shredder of Tacoma. Brown of

TROUPE ARRIVES EARLY.

The JeffriesGOtch troupe, accom-
panied by Promoter Jack Gleason,
arrived in town at 1880 o'clock this
morning from North Yakima, sur
prising the bugs" who had in
tended gathering at the depot to
welcome the Undefeated One. The
party left North Yakima at -: 80
this morning instead of waiting I'M
til s O'Clock, as expected.
Immediately upon arriving the
party was taken in charge by Harry
Green, one of Jeff's staunchest
friends, and will be taken care of
by the local man during their stay
here. A breakfast at the Club cafe
followed the arrival of the troupe,
while auto rides and an informal
reception at the Howard street cafe
will account for the remainder Of
the day.
Looking thousand per cent bet
ter in his street clothes than he did
year ago, unless appearances
count for naught, Jeff was not far
wrong when he stated several days
ago that all he really needed was a
little work to round him into form.
He has lost that fairness that was
apparent year ago, and unless the
writer is badly mistaken, Jeff will
surprise the fight bugs when he
cavorts about In his sketch at the
Auditorium this evening, when he
punches the bag, sl1ips rope, losses
the medicine ball and goes three
