O'Connell Vindicates Himself. O'Connell seems to have satisfied all who saw the bout with Albright that he was a wrestler of more than passing ability, and his wonderful agility and speed, as well as strength when the latter was required, more than offset any doubt that may have been attached to his former efforts. As to his sincerity, there need be no question as far as the Albright match la concerned, or as far as his de termination to squelch the few alleged wrestlers who believe him a four-flusher. If they wish to meet O'Connell, It is up to them to cover his money. There are no strings to it. Furthermore It is real money and any one skeptical about it can satisfy himself without Inconvenience. All that remains for "Strangler" Smith, Dan Sul livan, Scholtes, Frank Riley, "Kid" Parker, "Kid" Davis or Joe. Helnrich, either singly or collectively. Is to come forward either as Individuals or as a body and deposit a similar sum and the match will be arranged. The writer, who has no connection with O'Connell or his matches whatever, will guarantee that O'Connell will keep his end of the bargain. BT W. J. PETRAIN. The. result of the wrestling match Thursday night, when Eddie O'Connell defeated Con Albright in the fastest, cleanest and hardest-fought wrestling match ever seen In Portland, seems to have caused certain people to scout its legitimacy. The doubters are friends of Sullivan and "Strangler" Smith. Both these, men. are fair wrestlers, but neither has so far demonstrated he la In the class of either Albright or O'Connell. "Strangler" Smith has been making as sertions that Albright offered to "frame" a match with him, or at least such is the assertion of his friends and backers. Taat night Con Albright announced that he would take on "Strangler" 8mlth at any time, tonight if necessary, and guarantees to beat the longshoreman for all the money he and his friends can collect. zjegpue ina iaci mac ne was given a gruelling match by O'Connell, Albright announces he does not care what Smith weighs or how much money he and his backers want to put up, he will cover all their bets and agrees to toss the fellow in a straight match. Albright Challenges Smith. "Smith Is quoted as saying that I offered to 'lay' down to him." said Albright last night. "I never offered to "lay" down to anybody In my life, and as for 'laying- down to him, why I am will ing to cover all the money he or his friends can raise that I'll beat him two falls in an hour or any other agreement that he wants to make. If he Is the wrestler he thinks he Is, I would advise him to get busy and quit talking about fakes and the like. The trouble with Smith seems to be that he thinks he is a wrestler and I don't believe he ever was one. If he is, I am willing to take him on and am not asking any time to prepare. Tomorrow night, the next night or any time will do. If he wants the game let him come to it." Aiongiu expressed himself In strong terms when referred to a story sup posedly Inspired by "Strangler" Smith and published last night. Smith la liar if he says I ever offered any other proposition to mm tnan to throw him twice in one hour," is the way Albright's naiement can d printed. - As far as Eddie O'Connell Is concerned he has $500 on deposit with the sporting editor 01 ine uregonian as a Dona fide guarantee on his part to throw Strangler" Smith, uan Sullivan, Krank Riley, acholtes.

In one of the best finishes of the season Pajaorita gained a neck- victory over Booger Red in' the Merrltt Handicap at Emeryville today. Gemmell was third a neck away. with Fanatic, the other starter, close up. Pajaorita ruled favorite throughout the betting and, getting off in front, was never headed. There were several surprises flaring the day. Barney Stehreiber won purses with Deutschland and Salnotta, while Pajao rita, Keep Moving and Gargantua, three other winners, represented H. O. Bed- well. Jockeys E. Sullivan and Soorllle were suspended today, the former for carry ins horses wide when riding Hereafter, and Scovllle for his ride on Work Box. Closed Paper Chase This Afternoon. The Portland Hunt Club will hold a closed paper chase this afternoon. The hares for the occasion are W. M. Davis and Sidney Lowenberg, and these enthu siastic horsemen have laid a course that is expected to prove exciting in the ex treme. Something like 20 Jumps have been provided In the usual eight-mile course. The start will be at Woodstock schoolhouse and the finish on Millard avenue, near the station of that name. BIG SOCCER GAME TODAY SCOTCH VS. AI.Ij AMERICANS 3X MULTNOMAH I "IK LI). 11 Clansmen Win They Will Be Tied With English Team for Championship. Cries from hundreds of Scottish throats will urge on to victory the clansmen who represent the land of the heather in the Scotch American association foot ball game, on Multnomah field this af ternoon. The Scots' eleven has been chosen with especial care by a selection committee that put In three weeks on the Job. All the Scotchmen on the Multnomah team caught places Dick .and the Matthew brothers while Burns, Toung and J. K. Mackle were chosen from the Columbias, Bruce and Robertson from the Cricketers and McCafferty from the IRangers. The remaining player la Bu chanan, a San Francisco goalkeeper, 'who happens to be In tqwn. It Is considered eminently fitting that both a Burns and a Bruce should figure on the heather wearing team this year. This will be the second of the annual Internationals and kickoff will be at 8:15. Hutchinson, an Englishman, will be referee. If the Scotch win, they will be tied with the English for the Interna tional trophy and the deciding game will be played March 13, on Multnomah field. Kach year this series creates the great est excitement of the soccer season, and while the Americana were hard hit by In juries to several of their best men, they came Into the field with a hard fighting team and will not concede any chance of defeat today. The lineups will be as fol lows. Scotch Goal. Bnchanaa; backs, Aadrew Matthew and McCafferty; n&lfbacka. J. K. stackls, MtcKjr, Robertson; forwards. Barns, Bruca. XMck. Young. H. Matthew.

The first promise of sunny weather the players of sbecer have had, practically, since the season opened last October, comes with today's game. So far as weather is concerned, a curse seems to have pursued the sport; nevertheless it has made great strides, both in arousing general interest and in the number and quality of players developed.

That there are more trade dollars in circulation than the five reported in a special in Thursday's Oregonian from North Yakima, Wash., is shown by the fact that there are two In this city. One is owned by Ralph E. McKechnle and one by Charles ft. Stewart, both of whom are clerks in the First 'Na tional Bank in this city. McKechnie's dollar was coined in 1876 and Stewart's in 1877. The trade dollars were recalled from circulation and are comparatively rare. WILLIS WILL GO OUTLAW Coast Pitcher Telephones San Jose Team He Will Report Sunday. SAN JOSE). Cal.. March 5.

The men of both teams showed ragged work In spots, and the pitchers were not sure of control. The long hit of the day was a rattling three-bagger by Cravath. the recruit, who covered first for the Sox. while the locals scored when Cooper lined a hot one to center with the bags full, scoring two mtn on Flanagan's fumble of a bad bound.

Chicago White cox team mo. l. or the American League, drew first blood of the 1909 season today by taking the San Fran cisco Coast League club into camp by a 5-to-2 score. The game drew a big and enthusiastic crowd, though It was but the first of the preliminary playing in order to get into snaps Tor the real work of the season. It was a feature less and rather listless exhibition of rux BIG RACE iXDOons Portland Mara tlion Will Be" Held in Oriental Building;. Feeling that it Is better for the as sociation not to enter the sport-promoting arena, the T. M. C A. directors have decided to hand over their Mara thon scheme to Karl Armstrong and George Solid, promoters of the Seat tle Marathon race. Armstrong and Solid have already engaged the Oriental Building at the Fair Grounds for the holding of the contest, which will be pulled off on Friday. March 26. The course at the Oriental building Is probably consider ably better than any outdoor track would be at this time of the year and It will be possible to make far better provision for the convenience of both public and runners. In order that the race may be ab solutely above reproach Physical Di rector Grllley of the Toung Men's Christian Association has been asked to attend to the selection of the of ficials and to arrange for the pres ence of reliable officials so that there will be none of the unfortunate tncl dents has characterized the clas sic race when run at other cities. The list of runners is probably con siderably better than that which en tered at the Seattle event and it is in tended to get representative runners from every city on the Pacific Coast. All the best runners who have recent ly been racing in California will be brought to Portland. No difficulty is anticipated In getting the Portland runners In, owing to the impossibility of holding any outdoor Marathon with reasonable success. Armstrong and Solid are registered at the Franklin Hotel and they will receive the names of entrants any time up to a week before the race. SPORTSJfEX MUCH PUT OUT BV L'liKOIl IX STATUTE. Solon s Will Be Requested to Correct Act When Tliey Meet in Spe cial Session. Sportsmen generally are sorely dis pleased with the flagrant error that has been discovered In the new came code as it was enacted by the recent Legislature. undetected carelessness on the part of clerks emoloved on the enrolling committee by which the prefix "un" was omitted from the word awful." In the paragraph relating to the open season for elk. has made it possible for these animals to be killed 11 months In the year. Men interested In the protection and preservation of game In this State will urge that this error be corrected by the Legislature at the special session which has been called by Governor Benson. The original bill proposed absolute protection for elk until September 15. 1314. wltn the further provision that after that date these animals should be killed only during the month begin ning September 15 and ending Oc'o- per la. annually. As passed by the Legislature that feature of the law protecting elk for five years Is omitted and their slaughter Is permitted at any time during the year except between September 15 and October (15 which originally was Intended as the only season of the year In which they could be killed. The bill was drafted by A. E. Gebhardt and I P. W. Qulmby who spent over two months at the task; and they naturally are disappointed that such a gross error should creep Into the law. The.-'botch' work was done either by the game committee in the House or In the Senate, or by the enrolling clerk. and not by the men who drew ths or iginal bill," said Mr. Qulmby yester day. "It has been the judgment of 11 competent person who have seen Chicago. Tailors In or near Army posts are affected by a ruling; of the War Department J unt made public that money du the anl- dlfs cannot bo retained by ptrmastrs for the benefit of suea tailors If tbo bills are for civilian doming. the code as originally drafted by ZSr. Gebhardt that it was complete, and from a legal standpoint as nearly per fect as any such code could have been drawn, and I think if the Legislature had adopted It as originally drawn it would not have made a mistake. I notice also that the present game war den Is now at Salem endeavoring to do what he can to have the error cor rected. It occurs to me these errors made by the commutes and enrolling clerks -should have been discovered be fore too late." FANTAN PLAYERS CAUGHT Raid on Gambling Ien Results In Arrest of Two Chinese. A raid made by Detectives Howell, Reed and Tlchenor. last night on a gam bling den in the rear of S3 Second street, resulted in the capture of two Chinese mho had made their escape from the den with the paraphernalia of the fantan gatno In their possession. The other players escaped. The detectives encoun tered barred doors, and while they were banging away at these obstacles with sledge-hammers the gamesters made their escape through secret panels con structed in ths walls of the building of these places. Divining that something of this character was going on. one of the officers ran nround to the entrance at 87 Second street, two doors away, and in the hallway of this house found the two men arrested making a terrible scramble to get out of tho way. The prisoners gave the names of Ah Sing and Ah Chung. They were released on ball. In view of the announcement of the Muni cipal Court authorities to the effect that Chinese gambling cases would be pun ished with Jail sentences, last night's raid created no little excitement among the jCelestlal professional gambling element.
