THE MORNING -43RBG0E1A:N, WEDNESDAY, JIAY, Tt, WAITING FOR THE GONG JOE "WALCOTT "WILL FT MS II TRAIN ING TODAY. A Few Fast Rounds "With. JohnsoB Will Pat the Black Dearo la Trim Smith Is Resting:. One day more and Joe Walcott will have ceased hard work for his match with "Mysterious Billy'.' Smith. -to take place at the Exposition building tomorrow night.' The. colored man is In condition for the oout, but a little more work won't hurt him. and so he will box a few fast rounds with Jack Johnson this afternoon, and will then wait for the gong to sound Smith has already quit the strenuous life. He has been training more rigidly than Walcott, and at the suggestion af his trainers will take life easy until to morrow night. If ever during late years the mysterious one was ready fer a fight, it is at the present time. His eye Is bright and his skin looks better than it has in fights now past. More than that, he is supremely confident. There is never a thought In his head but that he will win tomorrow night, and win quickly. "It Isn't down on the cards for Walcott to win." he said yesterday afternoon. "I have been in fights with him before, and I know what I am talking about. They say I am Teady for the shelf, but Joe is Just as far along in years, and yet he can put up some furious fighting. -And I know what I am talking about when I tell you that I am in shape and will hit hard from the start." Joe does not expect the fight will last over 12 rounds, and, naturally enough, he thinks he will be the man toward whom the referee will wave his hand. "Smith Is a good fighter, hut I have been going ahead while he has not been doing a thing," is the way Walcott sizes up the situation, and he has many who think the came way he does. The Barbadocs Demon will be the fa vorite. At least he Is now a 10 to 8 fa vorite In the betting over Billy, and there have been some large sums placed at that figure. There is no reason why he should he, except that he is a champion and his victories over Smith are of mpre recent date than the win achieved by the white man. It is likely that the same reason will keep Walcott the favorite even to the time of the fight, but the Smith people are .ready to put up their money, and from the present outlook a big lot of it will change hands on the result of the bout. That the fight will be fast from the outset is conceded by all experts. Both men are short on fancy footwork, prefer ring to stand up and slug, and this makes the Eastern sporting papers predict that it will be the fiercest struggle seen In the country lor some time. Referee Jim Nelll has wired that he will leave for Portland tonight, which will bring him here the morning of the match. Nelll Is described aa being short but sturdy, and he will need all of his sturdiness with these two fighters. The advance sale of seats has been large Tmd promises a crowded house. MULTNOMAH MEN AT WORK. Track Athletes Are Confident of Winn in Decoration Day Meet. The Multnomah track team la confident of winning on Decoration day if some of the members do not fall them at the proper time. This season's team is the strongest Multnomah has had In five years. Among ita members are a few of the standbys in the good old days. Although they are getting a little old they are still able to" help the 3'ounger fellows out. .The first is H. W. "Kerrigan, one of the oldest mem bers In the club, who will enter all the Jumps and perhaps the hurdles. Ed Murphy, another of the late-day athletes, but etill a member of the team since '37, is Interested in-the jumps and -hurdles too. He may also .run In one, of. the .sprints. Jordan Zan. though new on the track team, Is well known In club athletics. He will enter the one-half mile and discus throw. He ie in better shape" than ever this year, and has been training conscient iously. Mellls. an old clubman and a grad uate from Pacific University, this being his fifth year on track and field. Is also In good shape. He will enter the hurdles, pole-vault and sprlnte. Of the new men there are: Bellinger, Baughman, Oscar Kerrigan, Holcomb, "Trump" Sladen, Inglatz. Peterson, Gil bert, Blanchard, Cooke, Dement, Ronald Johnson, Bert Johnson. Chalmer and Downs. Bellinger Is good for the one-half mile, 440 rods and relay. As he Is not In very good condition the club will not expect very much from him. Oscar Kerrigan Is good for the two hurdles and one of the Jumps. Holcomb Is a new man, an un known quantity. Sladen Is recently from John Hopkins and is especially good In the 100-yard dash. Inglatz Is -an old varsity man, as yet an unknown quantity. Blanchard is an Amherst satellte, who has ' won fame on track and field and will be there for a few points. Cook is the win ner of last year's discus throw. As he la ..stronger than last year, he may be able to break his record. R. Johnson Is a fast mati and will win one or two points for j the club. Downe Is a new man and has ! a splendid chance In the middle distance. ' Two of the old track men not yet men- v Honed are W. Honeyman and G. Gammle, both of . the old school, who will win one or two- points on Decoration day. Honey man la not quite In the shape expected.- i but will make some of the younger fel lows hustle to beat him. , The relay race tor the school teams has been postponed until some day, the last of the week. . CALIFORNIA OARSMEN COMB. 3a Final Training for Race With Portland Rowing Club. The 'varsity crew of the University of California arrived on the steamer Colum bia Monday evening and took its trial spin over the smooth waters of the Wil lamette yesterday. y Edward J. Grlndley. who pulls the bow oar. Is the captain and manager of the crew. n the other seats of the shell are: Summer J. Smith, No. 2; William J. Dandy, No. 3: Emerson B. Harley, stroke. The crew is to race with the crew of the Portland Rowing Club In the. Decoration day regatta. This is the first time in the history of the university that a crew has left Berkeley to compete with the crew of another college or club, and the three men under Captain Grlndley feel the responsibility of making an honorable showing for the blue and gold. The cap tain, on his part, feels that a great weight Is resting upon his shoulders. The California oarsmen immediately made themselves known to the local row ing fraternity, and were given all ' the privileges of the clubhouse. Rowing among the students of the Berkeley Uni versity has only become popular within the past year. The crew which has come to Portland has only practiced together for five weeks, but three members have rowed together for some time. This Spring they defeated the Dolphin crew of San Francisco by seven lengths. After testing their powers against the oarsmen of the Portland Rowing Club, the college boys will go to Seattle, where they will row the crew of the University of Wash ington June 3.

Feeling better yesterday, he went out for a spuxl After solas a ,fcr miles he broke down com pletely, and was scarcely able to get back to his quarters.

Greengages Retara From California Net Disheartened by Bad Lack. The Greengages are at home again. They will stayt homo lor the next three weeks, and. what's more, will pull out of last place and break the hoodoo which has been following them thus far in the season. Manager Grim and his hnsky lads arrived from 'Frisco yesterday morn ing and will open for a series of five games" with Tacoma this afternoon. The Calif omlo trip was not exactly a triumphant pilgrimage.' In fact, the team has been up against a combination of hard luck and robber umpires ever since it left. It was ruthlessly despoiled by a brigand at 'Frisco, and his brother-in-crime at Los Angeles. At least five close games In both cities were stolen bodily, apparently on the assumption ihat the tallenders have no rights which umpires are bound to respect. In addition to these calamities, McCarthy Is laid up at his home in 'Frisco with a sprained knee and will be out of the' game for some time. Painter, who has bean doing the utility stunt and playing second at intervals, has been put in at short and has done very creditable work. Quick was suspended for five days at Los An geles for arguing with the umpire, but the statute of limitations has Tun and he will be In the box in today's game. Miller is sick and Wallace has a bum back, Parrott has shaved off his fierce Corsair mustache and claims that his batting eye has been Jonahed thereby, and McGill, the much-touted southpaw from Louisville, -whom Grim signed a month ago, has apparently gotten side tracked by the way and has failed to put in his appearance. In spite of all these untoward things, the survivors are full of vinegar and are determined to fight their way out of the dark chute, so there Is every reason to believe that Tacoma will get a run ,for her money in the coming string of games. That aggregation has signed St. Vraln, who pitched for Tacoma two seasons ago, and he Is expected to arrive from Chi cago in time to pass up the pillow In Sunday's game. PACIFIC NATIONAL LEAGUE.

Peaaell Says Ita Negllgeace Was Criminal Sarcastic Remark Am oat Appearance of Vaaderfcllt. LONDON, May 2S. Joseph 'Pennell, the artist and writer,, has sent a most 'graphic description 'of the first stage oflhe paris Madrld" automobolle "race -to- the Doily iChronlcia from Chartres. - After describ ing -the "assembling of the crowds and how,, finally; the racers were seen com ing from the top of ahuvTie. continues: "As the cars fell there Is no other CONSTITUTION, WHICH GAVE THE RELIANCE A CLOSE word for it down tho slopes, and ap proached the narrow bridge. Jumped with a bound across, and flow with a scream up the rise beyond, one could' see by the twitch of the wheels not half of which was caused by tho road how agonizing was the strain on the driver, forced to make his way through the endless, un controlled crowds which littered the road from Paris to Bordeaux. "Much as one may esteem the broad minded views of the French government in encouraging tho motor industry, tho government's neglect to protect the course was criminal, and nothing else. Through out the stretch of eight kilos between Chartres and the first village there were 5000 to 10,000 people, and 500 to 1000 cars, and no attempt was made to control the crowds, mostly made up of peasants and people from Paris who knew nothing about automobiles. The horse-drawn traf fic was stopped during the race, but the fools on bicycles and thd imbeciles In motors rode about everywhere, and only escaped killing themselves and the racing men by the sheer dumb luck which is said to protect drunken men, children and fools. Yet people wonder why accidents happen. s "The conduct of the military authorities was Incredible. From Chartres to the narrow bridge at the foot of the hill the road was kept by a regiment of Infantry and some gendarmes, and though pedes trians were not permitted to cross the bridge, hut had to pass through the stream below, thus miking a jam at both ends of the bridge, ordinary motor cars and motorcycles were allowed free pass age, of which -they took such advantage that one of the racing cars was stopped dead. In order that a person on an ordi nary car might crawl over. "As for the motorcycles In the race, they were simply used near Chartres as pacing machines by any stray scorcher who wanted to take them on. Measures for preserving the safety of the public were either nonexistent or of the most ridiculous character." Mr. Pennell then describes tho scene at the headquartera at Chartres, and the appearance and often hysterical demean or of the drivers who were out of the race, and says: "Further up the street was another car with a huge gash In the tire of one wheel, the other tire down, and tho whole, twist ed and bent In the hands of a dozen workmen. Walking away therefrom was a being with a part of a cap over one ear, and part of a pair of goggles over the other, plastered with mud and oil. In tho rags and tatters of what had once been a suit of clothes. It opened Its mouth, and said, in a voice choked with tears, and In the American language: " 'I don't mind breaking down again, but It makes me so very .angry.'

PARIS, May 26. The second stretch of the Paris-Madrid- .automobile race was not started this morning, owing to the Interdiction of the Frenchand Spanish Governments. Many of the contestants withdrew, and some of them proceeded leisurely. Marcel Renault one of the injured con testants, had. a sinking spell early this morning. Later, however, he revived, and renewed hope io held out for his re covery. The other injured perrons are progressing favorably. Maurice Farman and other prominent drivers have an nounced their permanent withdrawal from racing.

Astoria Woman Joined to Her Sec ond -Choice. ASTORIA, Or., May 26. (Special.) Thomas E. Whltcomb and Mrs. Delorus N. C. Rector were married here today. Judge Trenchard ofliclating. This Is the sequel to an escapade which occurred. In a local lodfflng-house yesterday, In which the woman and two men were concerned.
