GOSSIP OF THE CLUBS ITEMS OP INTEREST TO AMATEUR ATHLETES. f Football a Thins of tlie Fast Re- .vlew of the Season Otb.ce Sporting: 3feTV. The outdoor season for amateur ath letic sport is practically at an end. That it has been a successful one was evidenced by the crowds that turned out to every contest held on Multnomah field, and cheered the contestants on to victory. The football season was, in many re spects, unsatisfactory, because the man agers of the several teams in the field seemed to be working at loggerheads as to dates of play, and every game played was so hastily arranged that teams could not be evenly matched. But the three games played in this city were all of peculiar interest to amateurs, in this section of the country, and for that reason aroused more enthusiasm than has been displayed in any previous season. The first contest of interest was that between the Portland university and State univer sity elevens. Football was a new de parture among the colleges of the state, and every one wanted to see how the college men could play the game. The experiment proved very successful, and football has become established firmly among the Oregon colleges. The annual struggles for supremacy on the gridiron field between the Multnomahs and Seattle Athletic Club teams was next on the list, and the dispute growing out of it as to the right of amateur , clubs to play professional coachers in championship games, stirred up a discussion all over the United States trat promises to bring about a great reform In the Amateur Athletic Union. The Multnomahs, on the ruling of the union, lost the champion ship, but gained a point that will give them the advantage in the future, if past battles can be taken as a criterion. The recent game between the Portland Amateur Athletic Club and the Port Townsend Athletic Association elevens brought out a new team of surprising ' strength, backed by a club that promises to cut a considerable figure in the Norta west Pacific Association in the future. The football season opened with but little promise of interest, but the flourish with which it closed clearly demonstrated that the game has lost none of its popularity In this section of the country. The elevens of the various clubs have dis banded, and there will be no more games until next fall. An effort was made a few weeks ago to inaugurate a season of Itugby, but the lack of interest shown by the British Columbia clubs proved detrimental to the scheme, and it has lallen through. The surprising strength and skill de veloped by the Portland Amateur Athletic Club eleven, under the coaching of Lass well has proved a sort of seven-days wonder In local athletic circles. There was no lack of good, strong men on the team, and the majority of them were "battle-scarred veterans;" but as a team they were almost entire strangers to the game. But for fast play, lack of fumbling and errors, and good generalship they, in the opinion of many good judges, put up the finest game seen on the field this season. It was a snappy game, and so open as to give spectators a chance to watch the ball at every stage. Of course, as the Port Townsends found their line impenetrable, it was impossible to judge how the Portlands might stand in defens ive play. Not once was their center broken through, and the backs found lit tle to do in the way of tackling. How ever, on one or two occasions, when a Port Townsend man happened to stray through the line at some point, he was downed so quickly and hard that he could acadlly guess that the line was well sup ported. The criticism of a Seattle paper that the Portland eleven is not in the same class with the Multnomah and Seattle teams, is. to say the least, uncalled for, and the accompanying statement that the Port land club is not a member of the Pacific Northwest association is untrue The P. A. A. C. is a charter member of the as sociation, and, therefore, as old a one as the S. A. C. The criticism upon the merits of its football team is unwarranted, be cause the jyrlter could scarcely have had an opportunity of judging their methods of play from the single game in which they have been seen. Such judges of good football as McDonell and Joe Smith, of the Multnomahs, have said that the Portlands put up such a modern game as would make their chances even with the best learns in the Pacific Northwest. Portland's full-back, Pearson, has very few equals on the coast: Half-backs Lass well and Washburn are men of established reputation, and Hall, center, and Perham and Black, guards, are strong and bralny onough to hold their own anywhere. Charley Davey was without a reputation as a football player when he entered the game, but he played, at quarter, In a 3iiauner that will make him a much-sHMight-after man in the future. Every anan on the team is a pure amateur, with u clean record. The recent game was free from rough play, and was clean and amateur In every way. Were it not so 3te in the season, the Portlands would challenge the Seattles. The Multnomahs wanted to play them previous to the Port Townsend game, and the Tacomas have since asked for a game. To say that either the Multnomahs or Tacomas were looking for a game with an inferior team, would be doing them a great injustice, to say nothing of the Portland club. There has been a great deal of talk in xegard to the annunl indoor games of the First Regiment association, but at; yet that body has failed to Issue an announcement or asked for entries. The "regimental" games usually take place during the latter part of February, and if they are to be brought off this year, it is high time the announcement was made, for, as It is, there is but little time left for prospective participants to train. All of the local clubs will seek representa tion, and possibly the Astoria and Ia Grande clubs. Some good contests are promised. Mr. A. J. Dallain, secretary of the James' Bay Athletic Association, of Vic toria. B. C. has written to Mr. H. E. Judge, requesting him to tise his influence to ecure the N. P. A. of A. O. regatta of ISfa for his association. The place of the regatta will be named next spring, when the delegates hold a meeting, either liore or on the Sound. The local mem bers of the association would like to hoM the regatta here, but will probably con sent to holding it in Victoria, where they were treated royally three years ago. The Tacoma Athletic Club has taken a grout Interest In handball this winter, and some enthusiastic members of the club who were In Portland during the past wetk, suggested to the Multnomahs that a series of contest be arranged between the two clubs In the near future. The Idea has been recehed with favor by the Multnomahs. and negotiations are now in prosross for the tournament. A report that has been going the rounds to the effect that the Portlands had challenged the Multnomahs for a game of Intercollegiate football, to take place oh February 22. was emphatically de nied by Manager McKee. of the Port lamls. yesterday. "My team has dis banded." he said, "and will ptey no more football this season. We should have ltked te have played the Tacomas. but the wefcther at this time of year is so un csrtkin that we coukl not afford to take the risk. Next season, perhaps, we will be ready to challenge all comers." Sisoretary Johnson, of the East Side Y. M. C A., is slowly and surely build ing up the gymnasium department of the association, until It is becoming one of Its important features. For the present Mr. Johnson Is acting-instructor, and will so continue until the class is large enough and strong enough to employ some one else. He Is an enthusiastic supporter of athletics, and encourages members of the association to join the class. The gym nasium room is now supplied with parallel bars, vaulting saddle, rings, ropes, lad ders, etc This apparatus has largely been donated. The East Side Amateur Athletic and Social Club has adopted a new set of by laws for its future permanent govern ment. In these laws it Is set forth that the club shall be composed of young men who are desirous of cultivating a taste for gentlemanly athletic exercises, out door sports, and the social and other fea tures of organizations of this character. The powers vested in the club are exer cised by 10 directors, and the officers are a president, vice-president, secretary, treasurer, and sergeant-at-arms. The di rectors are to be elected semi-annually and will select from their members the officers of the club. No person is eligible for membership unless he be an amateur and not under 18 years of age. Applica tions are to be made to the board of di rectors. The by-laws provide for non resident members, and any one may be come a life member on payment of $1C0 and complying with all the rules. He is then exempt from payment of all dues. In all contests where members are en tered the members are to wear club col ors, which are scarlet and light blue. The rules governing the conduct of mem bers are very strict. The challenge contest between the Port land Whist Club and Multnomah Ama teur Athletic Club, for possession of the North Pacific Whist League trophy, now held by the former organization, took place last Friday and Saturday evenings at the Arlington Club, and was won by the whist club, by a score of G30 to 613. The teams were composed as follows: Portland Whist Messrs. Preston C Smith, G. M. Stearns, L. Therkelsen and Richard Nixon. Multnomah Messrs. Clarence L. Nich ols, Nell McMillan, E. H. Shepard and Herbert Wilson. The match was conducted upon the two table duplicate system, and was divided into two halves, of 24 hands each. The first half was played Friday evening, and resulted in the score of 319 tricks for the Portlands and 303 for the Multnomahs, a gain of 14 tricks for the former. In the second half, Saturday evening, the score stood 313 for the Multnomahs and 311 for the Portlands, a gain of 2 tricks for the former. This, however, gave a net gain of 12 tricks to the Porland Whist Club, who thereby retained possession of the trophy. The match was umpired by Mr. T. M. Stevens. It is understood that the Arlington Club will shortly challenge the Portland Whist Club for the cup. RAILROADS ALL CLEAR. A Southern Pacific Fasucnger's In teresting Recital. The O. R. & N. now has a clear track over its entire system. The regular train was only 40 minutes late yesterday morn ing, and there is now apparently nothing to prevent later trains from arriving on usual time. The only difficulty experi enced at any point on the O. R. & N. lines was at Oneonta, the account of which was given in yesterday's issue. A chlnook is now in progress in the moun tains, and the snow is melting rapidly. So there is no danger of fresh snow drifting into the cuts unless another storm should occur. The two rotary snow-plows which have been operating between this city and The Dalles during the past week have been taken off the road. The steamer which the O. R. & N. Com pany sent to Cascade Locks to bring on the passengers of the delayed Friday's train was not required, and has returned. All trains were In last night, the de layed Southern Pacific arriving at 9:45 P. M. There is no indication of further de lay In railroad service on any of the sys tems, tracks are clear and the storm is past. Mr. W. J. Ingalls, of Astoria, who was a passenger on the delayed Southern Pa cific overland, which reached here early yesterday morning, reports a most event ful trip. The train left Sacramento at 10:50 on the night of January 3. A boulder was encountered on the track between Sims and Castle Craig, which gave the passengers a good shaking up, and smashed things up a little, but did no very great damage. A landslide near Castle Craig delayed the train four hours, and the train had to lay over at Dunsmulr for several hours, while the southbound train, drawn by three engines, plowed through the drifts In the mountains. Just this side of Roseburg the engine broke a coupllng-pln and connecting rod, occasion ing another delay. Mr. Ingalls made the following statement to a reporter yester day. In regard to the horrible death of Mrs. Jasous, who was a passenger on that train: "Mrs. Jasous was carried on board the tourist sleeper by her husband, M. Jasous, a Syrian, and his brother, and they said they were going to Tacoma. The lady was very sick all day Friday, and lay moan ing in her own berth. Her husband was very attentive, and apparently very ner vous. About 2 o'clock Saturday morning, when everybody was in bed, and asleep, the husband alarmed the passengers by announcing that his wife was missing, and that he could not find her on the train. " He could talk very little English, but the brother could talk very well. They seemed to be afraid of arrest, and Insist ed that the passengers write out a state ment, exhonorating them from all blame. Mr. George B. Kennlston, of Maine, wrote out a statement of the facts as under stood by the passengers, and several signed it. But afterward there was a growing suspicion of foul play, and when we reached Ashland, an engine was sent back over the road, accompanied by Jas ous and his brother. "The brother told us that Mrs. Jasous was very wealthy, and lived In Tacoma. She was evidently a woman of 45, or there abouts, while her husband was under 30. The passengers all expressed a desire to have the matter thoroughly Investigated." WANT A NEW COUNTY. Representative Lyle of Crook Coun ty AsUk Such Legislation. Mr. A. R. Lyle, a prominent resident and stockralser, of Crook county, was In the city yesterday, and will not re turn home until after the close of the legislative session, he representing his county in that body. Mr. Lyle is one of the leading republicans of Southeastern Oregon, and his election as member of the legislature in a county strongly demo cratic, attests his popularity. He states that stock in Crook county are in good condition, and taking the winter well. One week ago there were 20 inches of snow on the range, but it is now rapidly disappearing. Mr. Lyle says that the people in his vicinity are anxious to have a new county formed out of the eastern part of Crook, the northwest portion of Grant, and a slice from the southeast part of Grant, and a bill is prepared for such purpose. Mr. Lyle has agreed, if the majority of the taxpayers living within the lines of the proposed new county will ..join In asking for the same, he will introduce the bill, and do what is in his power to secure its passage. The sheepmen of Crook county are hoping for better times, and better prices for wool, when the present democratic administration goes out of power, and the republicans again assume control of the government. Until then they are content to live as best they may. Mr. Lyle left for Southern Oregon last evening and will return to Portland during the week.

Think Their Fate Hard and Unjust District Attorney Hume Holds a. Different Opinion. "Bunco" Kelly thinks it strange that Xenophon N. Steeves should have been convicted of manslaughter. He leaned wearily against the bars of his cage yes terday and remarked, in the tone of one to whom the matter was of slight per sonal interest, that he did not see how the jury could have reached such a ver dict. He did not say, however, whether he thought Steeves should have been ac quitted, or given a harsher verdict. He preferred to talk of his own case, and launched forth into a denunciation of the police, and the methods they used to ob tain damaging admissions from him. Kelly Is a little man, but he has not the appearance of physical weakness de scribed so graphically by one of the at torneys for the defense in the Steeves case. His arms are small, and so are his legs, but they have a tough and wiry look, In keeping with the character and expression of his face. A man with such a neck and face would doubtless prove an ugly customer In a scrimmage. His hands are large, and the backs are ta tooed in sailor fashion. Phrenologically considered, his head indicates the ex treme development of the lower propen sities, particularly that of destructive ness. The muscles of bis Jaws are de veloped to an abnormal degree, bulging out so far beyond the usual oval of the human face as to give a peculiar expres sion of bulldog ferocity and determina tion. This expression is heightened by the wide mouth with the thin, compressed lips, the remarkable breadth of the nos trils, the small, fierce eyes and the low ering scowls, as he gives expression to some vindicative thought. Steeves, on the contrary, looked strangely out of place there, with his well-groomed appearance, his face clean shaven, except for a well-kept mus tache, his hair carefully brushed and his unusually tall figure neatly clothed in black, with spotless linen and a small black tie. He was In cell No. 2, which Is the aristocratic quarter of the jail, and at the opposite side of the building from Kelly's cage. Caste is marked even In the county jail. There are, in fact, four degrees of discomfort to be had there. In answer to questions, Steeves remarked: "I think the district attorney's course in refusing to sanction my release on ball quite unjustifiable, for the reason that it Is both customary and legal to admit persons to ball, pending the judgment of the court in such cases as this, when the evidence is not strong." Steeves complained that be had not been treated fairly by either the prosecu tion or the press, but added, resignedly, that he supposed such treatment was to be expected in a case like his. He was much surprised at the verdict of man slaughter, as he could not see where any evidence had been produced to make any thing but acquittal possible. He restated "STEEVES SHALL JVOT ESCAPE JUST PUX ISH2IEXT IF I CAN PHEVEXT IT." his Ignorance of anything connected with the murder of Sayres. "Have you any theory, then," he was asked, "as to how Sayres came to his death?" 'Why, how could I form any theory about it," he replied, "shut up here as I have been for the past three months? I know nothing on which to found any theory." "Do you believe Kelly to be guilty?" 'i know nothing about Kelly and can express no opinion about him." Steeves impresses one as a very intelli gent man, with a face that would be open and honest enough were it not, per haps, for a habit he has of rapidly wink ing his eyes when in conversation, and only glancing at one from time to time, as If he feared one should read some thing In his expression not Intended for publicity. District Attorney Hume was seen yes terday afternoon and talked freely about the case. He said that a more thoroughly impartial trial had never been held in Oregon. "The prosecution," said he. "took no unfair advantage at any point. Judge Stephens presided with the utmost con sideration for the defense, and it is ad mitted by everybody that the press has been unusually fair to both sides through out the case. In regard to admitting Steeves to ball, he has no right whatever to expect it. Judge Stephens was not to blame for Steeves' brief freedom yester day, as he had left the matter to my colleague. Mr. Leasure, but as soon as I brought to his attention the fact that the evidence against Steeves was strong, and under the circumstances, it would be con trary to the statute to admit him to bail, particularly that if he chose to jump his bond the collection of the same could be probably successfully contested, the Judge revoked the order.

THE BANNER SPECIAL In the domestic department is the offer ing of IMPORTED MARBLE A. O ( FLANNELS at A YARD. They'd be regularly, $L OLDS 5 that an intelligent man like Steeves, knowing that we Tare now In possession of his defense, would be likely to stand an other trial. If he could avoid it by get ting away to South America, or South Africa? It would be simply a matter of life or death to him, and he would mere ly say to Mr. W. O. Allen, 'Here, I am go ing to make myself scarce, and you must settle about my ball or get out of it as best you can.' It would not be an easy matter to find two or three jurors for acquittal in case of another trial, for Steeves cannot change his line of defense, and in a second trial we could shatter It to pieces. We only had time to bring in rebuttal evidence this time, but when evi dence Is false it can be proven so, and if the case comes up again that Is all the prosecution will have to do. Steeves' at torneys have 30 days in which to prepare a motion for a new trial. If the motion Is overruled by Judge Stephens, as it probably will be, for I know of no er rors made by either the judge of the prosecution, the case may be appealed to the supreme court. In any event, Steeves must be tried on the original indictment, and he shall not have an opportunity to escape the just punishment for his crime if I can prevent it." CAUGHT IN THE STORM.

At The Dalles some time ago the body of a little grandchild of S. B. Adams was removed from some other graveyard to the Sunset cemetery. At the time it was noticed that the cotfin seemed very heavy and it was suggested that the body was petrified. A few days ago Mr. Frisco in formed Mr. Adams that someone had been digging into the grave. Mr. Adams, accompanied by Mr. Barnett, went out to the cemetery, and an investigation disclosed the fact that the dirt had been removed from the grave and the coffin opened, although all had been carefully replaced. It Is supposed the story of the petrification caused the work to be done, and on this being found incorrect the ghouls tried to conceal their work. HOTEL ARRIVALS. THE PORTLAND.
