AMATEUR CLUBS
TO ORGANIZE

A meeting of amateur baseball
clubs will be called in Tacoma
soon to talk over the plans of Or
ganizing a league for next sea-
son. There is considerable SEN
timent of an organization of that
nature, and 1t is expected, should
it materialize, that it will create
a lot of interest.
The leaders are waiting for the
return of Joe McGinnity to this
city before going ahead with
anything definite. Should the
Tiger manager decide to take
over the tideflat ball park it Is
likely that Athletic park will be
devoted to amateur ball.

BATTLING NELSON
LOSES FIGHT

NEW ORLEANS, La, Jan. A.
Battling Nelson is the loser here
today to frankie Russell of New
Orleans. The battler displayed
much of the old-time courage for
which he is famous. In the first
round Nelson damaged his right
hand so badly that it was useless
during the remainder of the ten
round bout. Nelson may be out
of the game for some time on &C
count of the injured member.

John Thomas Augustine Hagan,
known as "Young Jack O'Brien,"
in characteristic fighting poses.
Young Jack O'Brien," who
left college to become prize
fighter and save the family name
when Sam Langford defeated HIS
brother, philadelphia jack" has
started off like an all-conquering
hero.
He is regarded today as pos
sible lightweight champion, and
his brother predicts he will sue
cessively become champion of all
classes up to and including the
heavyweights.
No one will deny that "Phila-
delphia Jawn" is qualified to pre-
dict a ring career. He has had
experience enough to know a
future great Srom a bloomer.
When enrolled at Mount St.
Mary's college, young Jac> was
John Thomas Augustine Hagan,
but when he took to the ring he
adopted the name made famous
by his brother, and as young
Jack" O'Brien is picking up fame
rapidly.
This youngster, but IS. is de-
clared to be the fastest light
weight that ever pulled on a
glove; to be as scientific as his
brother ever was; to be a ring
general Of ability and to pack a
punch" that has chloroform beat
en- a Whit, as a sleep maker.
After "Philly Jawn" had been
defeated by Ketchel and Lang
ford, the young brother quit
school and demanded that Jack
train him.
But "Old Jack" refused. He
doubted the boys ability, so the
youngster began teaching him
self. In May, 1911, in an anna
teur tournament, in Philadelphia,
young Jack" did things to his
opponent that were sinful.
Promoters hailed him as a fu-
ture champion, but his brother
was not convinced. In August,
1911, a preliminary boxer ran
out" at O'Brien's club at the last
minute and O'Brien was in de-
spair until young Jack" begged
for the chance to go on.
Big brother grudgingly gave
little brother a chance with fear
in his heart, and was the most
surprised man in the house when
the kid" made his opponent look
like a novice.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. a.
Nothing in the greasy picturesque
old China town of former days
was worse than the conditions
found in a Pertola alley slave den
by federal officers in recent
raid. II
1t was thought that the "Old
Chinatown" was no more-that
its cellars and subcellars had
fallen in and made a foundation
for a New Chinatown. Occasion
ally there were stories of "slave
girls" and highlander wars they
caused, but generally it was be-
lieved that the old order had
passed with the fire.
Perhaps a posse of policemen
could not have penetrated the cet
lars of the Chinatown before the
fire. It was said that even the
police who we're most familiar
with the district did not know all
its depths and tunnels, and that
their secrets were obliterated by
the fire of 1906. However that
may be, there has been reared
above the ground a maze of corri-
doris, trap doors, secret passages
and barred doors that illustrate
the working of the Oriental mind
as faithfully as did the subter-
ranean network before the fire.

SURVEYS DISAGREE.
Dodge City at Odds Over Juneau
Corner" Location.


Dodge City, March 2O.-Three gov
eminent surveys were made in Ford
county in the early days and each of
the three put the Juneau corner" at
a different point. Because of this,
Surveyor B. L. Glenn is up against a
snag on his first attempt to survey
the land of the first applicant to him
for a survey of the ISLAND land upon
which he has squatted. The county
surveyor does not know which corner
to accept as the correct one, there
being a difference of 131 feet between
two of them, a difference that will
affect land large enough for fair
sized farm if the surveyor accepts
either of them. In other places he
has found that the meander lines of
the stream do not measure up with tn =
township lines which cross the Arkan-
SaS river.
The first government survey was
made when the Usage Indian lands
were ceded to the government in 1868.
In Ford county large tract was re-
served by the government for military
purposes, and a part of the tract
reservation. In 1871 a second survey
was made when the Indian lands were
opened to settlement. In 1881 a third
survey was made when a part of the
military reserve was opened to settle
ment. AS the Indian lands covered
numbe of western counties it is prob
able the same trouble will be found
later in other counties.
