BOXER. Tells OF
COOLING BATTLE

Knocked Out.

Interesting details are furnished the
Capital News by Robert w. Allen, the
boxer who was knocked out by a
Chinaman at Gooding and was then
given the mill on a foul. In a let

Sporting Editor, Capital News.
"Sir: In response to the article in
the Sunday Capital News entitled How
the Chinaman Lost l would like to
make an explanation in my own be-
half
"The referee was the foreman of the
paper that originally published that
article. l was foulcd in the first round

a doctor examined me and stated

that the referee admitted in the dress

that first sent me to the floor, while
the crowd howled foul at the top OF
its voice.
"a Mr.. Harvey Goodman had bet
laid against me and was the first man
to shout foul and was the man who

BILLIARD PLAYER ON
TOUR OF WORLD

On a tour around the world and al
though feeble from long illness and
sudden misfortune, Professor Joseph
Gerstel, claiming to be the expert fancy
champion pool and billiard player of
the world, arrived in Boise yesterday
and gave an exhibition of the table
sport at Elliott's parlors yesterday at
ternoon and evening.
Professor Gerstel is German and
has been playing pool and billiards
practically all of his life. His trade is
a jeweler and diamond cutter and for
10 years he was with the great jewelry
firm of Tiffany Brothers of New York
He started out to make tour of the
world four years ago. expecting to pay
his expenses as he went along. After
travelling through the southern states
he worked northwest going through
Salt Lake and on into Idaho. Recently
illness overlook him and he was pre-
vented from going ahead as rapidly rs
he had expected.
After leaving Boise Professor Gerstel
will go west to Portland and from there
probably sail over the Pacific for the
orient.

Oregonian Pokes a Little
Fun at Boise for Cham
pionship Claims - Three
Games to Be Played.

Boise 10 not the only team in the
west that Is going to meet the Wen
dell Phillips high school team Of Chi
cago, for the Washington high of Port
land, heralded as champions. are also
scheduled for a game The match
there came very near being called off
owing to strike among the players
who refused, temporarily, to go on
with the game until assured there
would be an award of sweaters, etc.
Tho sporting writer of the Oregonian
takes a few thrusts at the Washing
ton students and the Boise high be-
cause OF its claim to SO many titles.
That paper says:
The big high school football game
IL on. Wendell Phillips high. of Chi
cago. will meet the Washington high
eleven, champions Of the Portland In
terscholastic league, on Multnomah
field on Saturday, Dec. IS. for what
will likely be billed as the cham
pionship OF the west"
Over a path beset by many vicissi-
tudes this decision was arrived at late
yesterday. In the first place two
other games in the northwest were
necessary to insure the trip. Astoria
and Boise finally signed the contracts.
Then there was that awful local buga-
boo. the strike.
Think Of what that means-11 cham
pions, warriors bold, brave, brawny,
strapping fellows. standing off defiant,
refusing to be coaxed or cajoled into
the big game unless given sweaters to
keep out the cold or some trinket to
hand down to posterity.
1t did not take much wheedling
however. to induce the boys to change
their minds. When Principal Herd
man informed them that he was not
trying to make them play simply CIV
ing them an opportunity to do so, they
quickly grasped the matinee as a
sporting proposition. The strike was
called off in fifty and as conse-
quence local fans will see the crack
Illinois eleven measure its strength
and ability against Coach Virgil Earps
title-holders.
Wendell Phillips will play at Boise
on Christmas day and at Astoria like
ly on Jan. 1. If the visitors win
both they will have to hire a special
car to tote the championships back
