Produce Slower and Less Unsettled.
The general produce movement from
urinary markets is still slowing up.

a general ftle holds at fair volume.
Other Vegetables and Fruits.
Sweet potatoes are doing better ia
the .iobing markets, owing to gradual
clearance of the glut Of very poor stuff
offered the past two or three weeks.

Mcintyre
To Be MANAGER
of RuStOn Club

Chef Mcintyre, heavyweight
champion of the Pacific coast, and
one of the best known athletic in
structors in this part of the coun-
try, came to Tacoma this week to
take over the management OF the
new Ruston Athletic club. Chef
will be physical instructor and
manager of the $25, 200 club house
and gymnasium which has been
built by the Tacoma smelter for
It's men.
The smelter could not have
made a better selection If 1t had
hunted over the entire country.
Mcintyre has had years expert
ence in gymnasium work, is a
clever instructor, and has the dis
tinction of being one of the few
men in America who boxes and
wrestles with equal ability.
He was in charge of the Van
couver Athletic club four years,
leaving British Columbia when the
war broke out. During recent
years he has been boxing instruc-
tor at the Seattle Athletic club,
one of the best athletic clubs in
the west. He has been manager
Of the Oakland Reliance club and
the Stockton Athletic club.
After having been away from
the ring for several years, Mcln-
tyre surprised his friends and ad-
mirers last year by announcing
that he would take another whlrl
at the game. He started for Cali
fornia, and surprised everyone by
hopping up the rings with his OPP
ponents. He easily whipped the
famous Willie Meehan, and when
he returned to Seattle he had
COPIED the coast heavyweight rib
bon.
The Ruston club, which is a
magnificent building on the crest
of a hill just above the smelter,
is equipped with gymnasium,
bowling alleys, library, billiard ia
bles, reading room, shower baths.
and everything that is needed in
an up-to-date club. 1t will be
formally opened october /.
The managing board of work
men is composed of Ed Austin, Sig
Elleflat, Otto Berg, Stanley Ives
and ]. w. Jones. The foremen' s
committee is composed of Lindsey
N. b. Campbell, Metick lvert and
A. S. Read. The executive COM
mittee contains. H. Y. Walker, l..
X. Byers and r. Bergerson.
Chef Mcintyre caused new
sensation this week when he sent
out a score of challenges to heavy
weights all over the country, not
even forgetting Jess Willard, Fred
Fulton and Carl Morris. He may
take brief trip east II he can get
any of the. big ones matched.

Muff Bronson To
Meet Chef Neff
Here For Title

Chef Neff of Seattle, claim
ant OF the lightweight cham
pionsllip of the Pacific coast,
will meet Muff Bronson, clev-
er Portland boxer and Oregon
champion, in the main event
J OF the seasons opening box
ing card for Tacoma.
The battle will be for six rounds
and will be one of the two main
events OF the card to be given by
the Tacoma Eagles in Tacoma han
Sept. 81. Altho Matchmaker
George Shanklin is not yet ready
to announce all bouts on the pro-
gram, he says that the card will
be hummer.
Neff is well known in Tacoma,
altho it has been long time since
he last boxed here. He is the
older of the two boys, and has had
more ring experience. Match
makers have tried for a whole
year to get Bronson and Neff to-
gether, but the Portland boy has
always refused, on the ground that
Neff was too heavy for him. Bron-
son has gained weight since last
year, and now tips the beam just
slightly under the 1876 mark, so
he hasn't any further reason for
refusing to meet the Seattle
champ.
Neff has just returned to Puget
Sound after a trip that took him
all the way to Los Angeles. He

boxers.
Bronson is only 10 years
old, and Is "a high school stu
dent In Portland, but he is
one of the hkeliest young
sters on the coast. Under the
direction of Joe Flanagan, he
has developed into a coming
star of the ring. He made
big hit when he boxed and
defeated Eddie Pinkham Of
Seattle, who claimed the
coast title. Bronson went to
California, where he was de-
clarcd loser by hairiine de-
cision, i'm his bout with Joe
Benjamin. Muff cleaned up
u lot OF Californians, and then
went back to Portland for
rest. He resumed his fight
career at Vancouver this
week by putting Billie Will
Jams to sleep In the seventh
round.

show will be held, is the old Ger

Election day of 1907 is one
I'll always remember. On that
date / assembled my All Star
gang of ball players and headed
for Honolulu. Billy Bryan was
getting licked by Bill Taft but
we only made a good guess be-
cause there wasn't any wireless
on the ship and we didn't hear
the result until we hit Honolulu.
But what did we care about
elections? We had Brick Dew
eraux. the funniest fellow that
ever played baseball, with us and
James Edward Britt, lightweight
boxing champion. 1t was some
trip.
We were to play our first game
the day we arrived but none OF
us except Britt was hip that they
did any betting over there.
Jimmy beat 1t all over town,
and before he got thru had a thou
sand bucks down on us to- win the
opener.

one and that was when we loaned

ton that Argentina's demands In

ed and that her ships when tOrpedOed
be sunk 80 that not Il trace OF them
should be left" Typically Prussian,
too, WAS his reference to the Argen-
tine Minister Of Foreign affairs as ~
notorious ASS" Next to their ui'-
scrupulousness. nothing liz so char
acteristic Of the Kaiser and his crew
rs their staggering contempt for the
rest OF mankind.
As Count Luxberg has acted In
Argentina, SO Count Won Bernstorff
acted in the United States; and 40
have German diplomats acted the
world over whenever they have had
opportunity to practice the deceit
aud trenchery in which their govern
ment so thoroughly schools them.
Won Bernstorff, while enjoying the
protectiv and c0urtesies Of this
Nation. WAS nursing the plot for an
invasion of the United States by way
of Mexico. Accorded all the privi-
ieges which an honorable govern
ment grants a supposedly honorable

TO Run Furnace Smoothly
and With Comfort

- NE house owner writes: In our
heater we have damper In
~ funnel. one at top OF heater,
one In fuel door and one In ash
pit door; also ut top Of heater Is n
small door which when open allows air
to get into funnel, thus checking drift.
This is between funnel dainper and
one top Of heater. We have fourteen
radiators In house OF twelve rooms
and two bathrooms.
Assuming your radiators are large
enough and full Of water, you should
have no great trouble. However.
1t is very important to keep the air
out Of the radiators in the top floor.
and we test ours oh that floor every
day by opening the little air valve on
radiator until the water flows In each
one, then closing. II the water does
not come there Is quite likely not
enough In the system to fill all. We
then run more In until 1t shows In over
flow pipe.
Another important thing is to keep
the ashes from of the shelves Mt the
top Of heater. We have small door
for each shelf admitting of cleaning,
which we do with wire brush OH long
handle. We brush shelves every morn
Ing, taking one minute to do it. While
doing this have every damper wide
open so as to draw the ashes away.
The damper in funnel at all other times
we keep closed just as tight as We can
get 1t, there being sufficient space by
hole In middle of 1t and around 1t to
take of gas and make fire burn. We
are particular to keep heater well
shaken and well cleaned out in ashpit,
as we get the best results by good bot
tom draft. Shake during day IL neces-
sary, but surely late In the evening, get
ting fire In good condition for night and
putting on fresh coal on retiring. We
then leave the hampers MS follows:
Funnel closed, top of heater closed, lit
tie door between slightly open, allow
ing some air into funnel: ash pit damp
er open the very least. The water now
in heater is about 40 degrees and In
the morning should be about 100 de-
grees.
In the morning close little door at
top. open damper at top Of heater, open
ash pit door. leaving damper In funnel
closed tight, and while we are getting
the kitchen range a-going the heater Is
warming up nicely. and when next we
90 to the cellar we find 100 to 40 de-
grees Of heat. We then open some of
the radiators on the lower floor that we
closed the night before. This we al
ways do, as we think our plants do bet
ter II not In too hot a place at night.
As for managing the heater during the
day, it depends on the weather, but
anyway we endeavor to obtain results
by use Of damper in ashpit door, belIev-
Ing bottom draft most economical and
carries less waste heat into the chin
ney. Hope this will be Of some use to
YOU.
