PERSONAL MENTION WRESTLER IS AFTER SCALP OF MOTANIC HOOD RIVER MAN WANTS MATCH WITH INDIAN T'matilla Brave's Match With Gotch Makes Him Known Wrestling In structor Would Meet Him Here Or In Hood River. CHANGE IN FACULTY OF LOCAL ACADEMY REV. It. G. WHITE, INSTRUCTOR OP MATHEMATICS, RESIGNS Will Go to Portland to Accept Poel (ion Vacancy Will Be Filled by Miss Pearl Porter, Pendleton Girl and Graduate of Whitman College. When Motanic, the well-known Umatilla Indian went on the mat at the Oregon theater with Frank Gotch on the occasion of the recent visit of James Jeffries and his troupe of "all stars." he not only brought himself into the limelight, but also the city of Pendleton. The strength display ed by the big Indian when he hurled the world's champion wrestler from the mat stirred the audience to great enthusiasm and has aroused In the local fans the hope that Motanic could be induced to train for the wrestling game. This hope was further revived this morning by a letter received by the sporting editor of the East Oregonian from James E. Montgomery, editor of the Hood River Glacier and mem ber of the board of directors of the Hood River Amateur Athletic asso ciation. The letter states thta L. A. Grant, wrestling instructor for the Hood River club Is desirous of meet- J lng the Indian who went in with j Gotch and asks what are the prospects of a match between the two, either in Pendleton or Hood River. The letter went on to say that Grant is a good, square man, weighing about 100 pounds and that he bested Squeeze Ethrklge of Rainier, in a good match at Hood River, the evening of Feb ruary 16. The letter has been referred to George Strand, who is a personal friend of Motanic and who acted as manager for the big brave when he appeared recently on the local stage. Strand will see Motanic as soon as possible and will endeavor to induce the Indian to consent to the match. There are several difficulties In the way, however. In the first place, Mo tanic is naturally modest, and in tHe second place, while he is undoubted ly the best Indian wrestler In the northwest, he has never had any training or practice in the catch-as-catch can methods of the game and therefore at a great disadvantage in wrestling at any other than the In dian style of wrestling. Local wrestling fans are enthusi astic over the prospects of a match and If it is held will demand that it be in this city. So much interest is being manfested that If the thing can be arranged the ca'pacty of the opera house will be taxed to its great est capacity to accommodate the crowd that would want to witness the event. Rev. R. G. White has resigned his position as Instructor In mathematics at the Pendleton academy and is go ing to Portland to engage in similar work. His position will be filled by Miss Pearl Porter. The resignation was tendered early in the week but was not acted upon by the board until last evening. The resignation was accepted at that time and Miss Pearl Porter, who has been teaching in Cold Springs canyon, was elected to fill the vacancy. The newly elected instructor began upon her new dutfes this morning. Miss Porter is a Pendleton girl, having been graduated from Pendleton academy in 1905 and with the 190S class from Whitman college. Since her graduation she has been teaching in the public schools of the county. George Currin, one of the big sheep men of the Heppner country, left for his home this morning on the Port land local, after transacting business here in, connection with the sheep In' dustry. STAGE DRIVER OF EARLY DAYS DEAD William T. Boynton, one of the pio- neer stage drivers of eastern Oregon, died In this city last evening at 4 o'clock, after an iliness of several weeks.
