Gossip About Events of National
Importance and the Persons

SAX IK AX'CISCO, Oct. 27. — Aside
from a champion pugilist, probably no
man who had anything to do with the
ring is better known to the boxing
fraternity or this country than the
veteran announcer, Billy " Jordan, w ho
died recently al the Veterans' Home
in Yountvillo, Cal.
Jordan wa more than eighty years
old at the litne <u his death, and lor
nearly half a i'pt ■■ In had acted in
the capacity e announcer at virtually
every fistic battle of prominence up
and down the I'ueiiie coast. He was
considered an attraction by promot
1 ers who sought his services and he
| had travelled thousands of miles in
: the course of fulfilling these engage
ments. The last bout of world wide
interest at which he officiated was in
lleno, when Jeffries and Johnson
fought for the heavyweight title. It
was noticed at that time that Jordan
was failing and his voice which, in
his prime, reverberated to every cor
ner of the largest arena, had become
weaker.
While promoters of all kinds sought
to obtain the services of Jordan, the
old man would not consent to act ex
cept at bouts of importance. He was
as jealous of his reputation as a pre
mier announcer as any championship
pugilist of his title or operatice singer
of his art.
II was Jordan's custom to make his
announcements first from one side of
the ring and then from the other, so
that the entire crowd would hear what
he had to Bay. The remarkable fea
ture of this was that in reiterating his
announcement it was worded exactly
as had been the first one, whatever its
length might be.
Mis sobriquet of "Let 'er Go Billy”
Jordan came from the fact that it was
his never failing signal for the time
keeper to sound the gong for the open
ing of hostilities.
Reports that came in from virtually
all sections of the coast of California
as well as the Sacramento and San
Joaquin valleys and the Shasta region
are to the effect that ducks, quail and
rabbits are unusually plentiful this
year, and that the prospects of a
banner hunting season never seemed
brighter.
From the southern section of the
state come the same reports.
What applies to California in this
respect may be baid to be general,
not only in the Northwest but in the
Rocky mountain region as well, where
huntsmen are reported getting exceed
ingly satisfactory bags.
While the quality of both hunting
and fishing is constantly variable de
pending on many conditions, it is gen
erally conceded that the generally
pood sport which obtains is due in
great measure to the constantly im
proved precautions which are being
taken for the preservation of wild
game and fish and the enforcement
of the game laws.
A constant effort is being made by
the Kish and game commission of the
different states to employ game war
dens of high type, in which special at
tention is being paid to their mental
! fitness. This fact is often alluded to
j in the various reports issued by these
j commissions and the results obtained
apparently justify the particular care.
Reports of the fishing have not been
as generally satisfactory, although
certain sections of the western states
have proved up well for the anglers.
Cold weather generally is ascribed as
i being the cause for lot of the indlf
j ferent fishing.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
Boston Americans were pronounced
favorites over the Brooklyn Nationals
I to win the world's baseball champion
ship, reports from up and down the
coast indicate that never have such
large crowds watched the bulletin^
displayed by the newspapers.
Brooklyn's sensations', finish in
i the ninth inning in the first game
when they all but tied the score, fol
lowed by a stiff argument they put
up in the second game had much to
do with this.
"if the dodgers can make It so un
comfortable for Boston on the latter's
own grounds, what will they do when
they get them on the Brooklyn yard?”
was the trend of the crowd's argument
in which even the adherents of the
Bostonians conceded there might be
some merit.
' Then followed Brooklyn’s victory in
11 the third game, which carried the In
| terest ovor to the fourth contest.
When Boston took this, it was gen
erally conceded that it was all over
but the shouting.
For a one-sided series, however, the
trend of circumstances managed to
Keep up the interest of the public for
four out of the five games to an un
usual extent.
