BIG SPECIALFEATURES

SPORT SHOWIS REAL TREAT

"It's a great show!"And that's a small tribute for

the Sportsman's show at the arm-ory. It is an artistic triumph—asplendid exhibition of the birdaad animal resource* of theNorthwest —a show that willprov* interesting to spostsman,naturalist, historian or amateurphotographer.

Th* Sportsman's show, given inTacoma tbla year for the firsttime In the west, by the Wash-ington Game Protective and Pro-

pagatlon association, opened ye*-

teray afternoon. The first day'scrowd* demonstrated beyond adoubt that the show willbe a fin-ancial success, beside* being anartistic wonder. The taxidermistwork in some of th* large dis-plays, where cougars are shownstalking elk, and baby cougarsare following timidly In theirmother's footsteps, wa* done by

William Qillett or Tacoma. Gtl-lett deserves unlimited praise forhis work.

CITY CHAMPIONSHIP GOLFMATCH INDOORS TONIGHT

Lakeside Country club golferslast night defeated the LochburnGolf club in the putting contestsof the Sportsman's show. TheTh* Tacoma Country and Golfclub was winner over the Stella-coom Lake Golf club.

Aa far as Interest in athletic•vent* at the show were eoncern-•4, the putting contests seemedto b* the only attraction lastnight. It was the first time thatgolf has ever been played IndoorsIn Tacoma, and a monster crowd

of curious persons who had prob-ably never known the game be-fore gathered about the artificialputting green.

Ashton Dovell made low scorein the first match, negotiating thenine holes in 16. Thomas Bur-dltt of Stellacoom lake was starof the second contest, making alow score of 18.

The Country club willmeet theLakeside club team tonight forthe team championship of thecity.

Although admitting that FrankGotch, the world's championwrestler, or Charles Cutler, towhom Gotch handed over thetitle, are leaders at "catch-as-catch-can" wrestling. JohannesJosefsson, the Glima leader of theworld, Insists that he can throweither man in less than two min-utes. He would, of course, usehis own methods against those ofthe champions.

Josefsson is appearing as thestellar feature attraction at Pan-tages' theater this week. "Gllma"Is the Iceland means of self de-fense, something on the order ofthe Japanese jiu-jitsu—also de-clared to be far more effective—and Josefsson is champion Gllmaexpert of the world.

"In Gllma all that Is ntrestjaryIs to pin one shoulder "to themat," declared Josefsson In hisdressing room at tho Pantagesyesterday afternoon. "I am surethat Gotch or Cutler would becomparatively easy men for anyGlima expert to throw. ; I onlyweigh 148 pounds, yet 1 willwager almost any amount that Ican put either man to the^leor intwo minutes or less.

"It doesn't matter how skill-ful a man may be at ordinarywrestling or at Jlu jltsu, he ishelpless when racing an exponentof the art of Glima. We attackthe feet, throwing an opponentoff his balance. Gotch dependsupon his turning skill to pin aman's shoulders to the mat. If

"Best Tipster" UnableTo Win On the Ponies

Betting on a horse race is anabsolutely certain losing proposi-tion. A "racing expert," connect-ed with one of the New Torkpapers, made this admission un-consciously while boosting him-self as the greatest racing "tip-ster" in America.

The "expert" in question, In re-viewing his own labors for theyear, stated that in 871 races hehad picked the winner 272 times.He stated, with a showing ofpride, that he picked more win-ners than any other "tipster" Inth* country. He trots out facts

and figures to show the truth ofhis assertion.

Taking his statement at facevalue, lt will be seen that the bestrace "tipster" in the countrywould have lost a wad of moneyduring the year had he bet on hisown tips.

Assume that you bet $10 onevery one of his tips. He passedout 871 tips. That would havecalled for an outlay of $8,710. Inthe 871 starts you would havebeen returned a winner 272 times.But you would have lost, as theaverage odds of 6 to 5 would havenetted you only $5,894.

M'CREDIE IS EQUAL OF CONNIEMACK IN BREAKING UP INFIELD

PORTLAND, Ore., Feb. 4. —When the Pacific Coast seasonopens March 30 it is a 10 to 5•hot that not one of the Infieldveterans of the Portland cham-pions willbe In the box score.

Connie Mack nearly gave bigleaguers the delirium t's when hechiseled Eddie Collins off his pay-roll, but Connie was a piker rang-ed alongside McCredie of the Pa-cific Coast league.

Walter McCredie already has\u25a0eat three of his infield quartet

to the big leagues and the dealwith the St. Louis Browns forFirst Baseman Derrick 1* rapidlynearing a head.

It required considerable front,no doubt, for Connie Mack toslip Collins his transfer to theWhite Sox, but our own Portlandhousecleaning isn't any ordinaryrenovation. Look it over:

Derrick, first base, St. LouisBrowns. Batted .298; fielded.988; stolen bases 36.

NEW YORK, Feb. 4.—One ofthe choicest morsels in the fisticline that has been dished up forthe box-fight fans in a long timewill be Johnny Williams-JohnnyKilbane six-round setto, cardedfor Philadelphia February 24.

This will be the first time inthe recent history of the paddedmit game that two actual undis-puted champions have faced eachother in battle. Williams is a"regular" champion. In his re-cent battles in this city the con-queror of Johnny Coulon madethe old timers think of the fa-mous masters of the past.

Williams will have a tremeud-ous handicap to overcome, how-ever, when he tangles with theking of the featherweights. Kil-bane will have a tremendous ad-vantage In height and reach. JOHNNY MI.ItANK.
