MEDF0RD PRIZE FIGHT.

MEDFORD, Oct. 1.-THE Ander-
son brothers, Bud" and Fred, of
Vancouver, Wash won their fights
here last night from the O'Brien
brothers of Portland.
Danny O'Brien. while there with
everything except the phenomenal
strength of Anderson, was unable to
do more than the 10 rounds. In the
first three rounds, OBrien plainly
outfought and outgeneraled his
husky opponent, making Bud
miss awkwardly and pummeling him
against the ropes.
The fourth and fifth We're even,
while O'Brien had a shade in the
sixth. In the seventh, eighth and
ninth Anderson had the lead, O'Brien
being caught off his balance and
sent to the floor, He took the count
OF nine while there, and il was on
this feature of the scrap that Referee
Jack Overdorf gave his decision in
favor Of Anderson.
O'Brien in the tenth round, ral-
lied, and was a revelation to the
large crowd On the advice shouted
him by his seconds, Anderson fell
into clinches at every opportunity
and in the wrestling and kidney
punching which followed wore
o Briens strength down.
AS was the case with Brother
Danny, Frank O'Brien lost to a
stronger opponent, although he was
loudly cheered for the game and
clever battle he put up. Both An
dersons were in fine form while the
'O'Briens lacked the necessary wind.
The largest crowd that ever at
tended boxing match in Medford
was in attendance, the receipts be.
ing over $1,000.

CHAMPIONSHIP BASEBALL
Continued from Page L.

NEW YORK, Oct. l4.-Driyen TO
bay, the New York Giants led last
rushing. desperate assault against
the Red Sox machine today and tore
IT apart within one round.
Marquard pitched his pals to a
romping, cake-walk victory, by the
count of ) to 2 The Rube, as in his
first start broke the Boston attack
at every turn. and after one rickety
round-the second-stopped StahPs
slashing sluggers with a thud.
The first round today settled the
battle. Stahl stuck in Buck
O'Brien, and the Giants were ready.
Knowing they had their back against
the wall, they rushed the Red Sox
spitballist with such ferocity that he
was demolished after the first in
ming, and Stahl then sent in Ray
Collins.
Collins followed O'Brien In the
second round, rolling back the
Giants rushes by wonderful pitch
ing-sure and effectiye-but his
brilliant work went to seed For
working on that five-run lead, the
Rube, after one short lapse
through over-confidence- settled to
his task and breezed in under warps.
From the second round on he was
never in trouble and sharp, sure sup
port by his mates, in which Murray
excelled, did the rest.
Final Score.

COMMERCIAL CLUB
DISCUSSES X. II. PROSPECT.


A railroad to the coast was the
live subject for discussion al the
meeting OF the commercial club Mon
day evening. There is no diversity
OF opinion as TO the need for the
road or the benefits that viii come
to both the road itself and the terri
tory through which 1t will operate,
and II is the general belief that
urants Pass is now nearer the de-
sired railway than 1t has ever been
before.
President Hobart introduced the
railroad subject by telling briefly OF
the benefits Of an outlet by sea for
our products, and In presenting Mr..
II. h. Lee, OF San Francisco, stated
that the project that Mr. Lee and
his associates represented had been
Investigated, and that all OF the
claims made had been fully borne
out. and that with proper co-opera-
tion on the part OF our own people
with those at the other extremity OF
the proposed line, the outlook for
the construction of the line was very
bright indeed.
Mr. Lee explained that the survey
and engineering work had been in
progress from Bandon and Port Or
ford for the past six months, and had
now been practically completed as
far as Galice. From Galice on
,.rough Grants Pass to Eagle Point
II would require another two months
OF engineering work, when the pro-
ject would be in shape to present to
financial interests in New York or
elsewhere, by whom the road would
be financed II the reports were suffi-
clently encouraging Mr.. Lee stated
that the survey thus far made, which
covered the more difficult part Of
the route, showed that there were
no insurmountable problems, and
that most practical grade, with an
immense tonnage I'm sight would
prove proposition that he cofdent =
~ expected financial interests would
take up at once, and that the road
TO the sea was, in his opinion, a not
far distant realization. He stated
that he was to leave within a few
days for New York, and that a more
definite announcement could be eX-
pected in the near future
Il. h. Kroh followed assuring the
club that all OF Mr. Lees represen-
tations had been verified, and that
the people should get behind the
move with the same spirit that had
prompted Bandon and Port oxford
citizens TO give assistance both NOR
al and financial Mr.. Kroh's invest
igations had made him confident that
builders would proceed with con-
struction work when the preimin-
aries had been worked out BY Mr.
Lee and his associates.
Others added their voice and their
substantial support, and Grants Pass
got into the railroad game in earn
est.

CANDIDATE SIEDEI
TALKS IN GRANTS PASS.

Emil Seldel, ex-mayor of Milwau-
kee, now socialist nominee for vice
president of the United States, spoke
to good sized audience at the
Grants Pass opera house Thursday
forenoon at 1880 O'Clock.
Mr.. Seidel is on a western tour
that commenced at Sioux City, Iowa,
October 3rd, and that will cover all
the coast states.
He was listened to with respect
full attention here, the following be-
ing extracts from his speech.
The cost of living has increased
sixty per cent during the last fif-
teen years That means that the
same amount of goods that cost one
dollar fifteen years ago, costs today
$50. Nor have we any assurance
that 1t will not go higher, How
about wages? Yes, they have in
creased also. But the growth has
not been so rapid as that of the cost
of living. Wages have increased on
an average only twenty per cent
during the same Fifteen years. That
means that where man received one
dollar for a given amount of work
fifteen years ago, he now receives
9420, The cost of living has in
creased three times as fast as the
wages have increased. That means
that workingman' family must
get along with twenty-five per cent
less today than it did fifteen years
ago, or better, the standard of liv-
ing has decreased twenty-five per
cent in fifteen years.
Nor is that ALL In every field
of human endeavor cooperation is
rapidly displaclng competition
Many industries have now reached a
point where competition no longer
prevails. The work of concentration
is now being carried into the field of
the small merchant and the retail
dealer
Already there are growing end
less chains of small enterprises from
coast to coast being controlled by
one or another syndicate. The cigar
merchant is feeling it, the lunch
room keeper is feeling it, the haber-
dasher is telling it, and every year
an increased number of people are
feeling 1t"
THE nation should. through its
government, take possession at once
OF the national trusts; the state
should own those trusts that are a
unit in the state; the counties
should own those trusts that are a
unit in the county, and the cities
should own those that are a unit in
the cities
The management and regulation
should be assumed by the people
through and In cooperation with
their governments local, state or
national. This should be done at
once and should be started any time
the people are ready and willing"

BOSTON, Oct 17.-There is only
one answer to the most dramatic
and most heartbreaking series of
games for the worlds baseball cham
pionship ever played.
Good Old Christy Mathewson, the
central figure in yesterdays game,
could have beaten the Red SoX un-
aided, but he was powerless before
the combined assaults of both Bos-
ton and New York players.
Even though pitching with all the
wonder of his big brain, big heart
and strong arm. he was unequal to
the task of beating both teams
Mathewson was never greater in
his big league career than yesterday.
but no man great enough to beat II
ballplayers ever lived. Three times
he fought back the Boston rush and
then carried them into two extra in
ming sessions, despite his ragged
support
In his three contests, he allowed
but two earned runs, while the
Giants scored s earned runs behind
him. But in the three games Bos-
ton scored IL runs, nine being pre-
sented to the Red Sox by the miser-
able support accorded the Big
Train"
Backed up as he should have
been, Christy would have won two
games. while the other one was a
fair draw
Beyond sympathy for Mathewson,
We have no alibis to present. when
