HARD STRUGGLE PREDICTED Stiff Battle in Prospect Between In dians and C. Y. SI. C. Saturday. The football game scheduled for Mult noma Field Saturday afternoon between the clever players of the Catholic Young Men's Club of this city and the Chem awa Indians will prove one of the most attractive contests of the season. The Indians and the Catholics met once before on the gridiron this season and it is the ambition of the latter club to reverse the decision gained by the na tives on the last occasion, for Chcmawa won by the close score of 6 to 0. Since that game the C. Y. M. C. eleven has iret the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club team and The Dalles Athletic Club eleven, losing to the former by the close score of 5 to 0 and holding the latter to a tie game. These feats have demon strated that the young club across the river possesses football material that Is a credit to an organization so young In years and Is evidence on which to base an expectation for a rattling good game Saturday. It was originally intended to have this game played here on Christmas day. but owing to the previous scheduling of the big soccer game for that day, it was arranged to play the game on the Saturday following. Those who saw the Catholics In action last Saturday, when pitted against the strong Multnomih team, were highly pleased with the show ing made by the youngsters and it Is safe to say that the greater portion of these persons will be present at tne coming game. Chemawa has a speedy. but light team this year, ana tneir pia- ers averaging the same as the Catho lics, together with the fact that the Indians have not played here for sev eral years, insures the teams of good patronage when the line up in the com ing conteft.

CRIPPLES TO PLAY Crosby and Hanson Will Take Part in Christmas Game. BOTH WEAK FROM INJURIES Multnomah Slanager Sees Advisabil ity, However, of Pitting Its Strongest SIcn Against Cricketers' Soccer Team. After a fast gymnasium workout last night, it was decided to put both Crosby and Hanson Into the game between the Multnomah soccer team and the Portland Cricketers Christmas afternoon. Both are still weak from Injuries but after looking over the strong lineup of the British athletic grounds eleven, it was apparent that, they were indispensable. The Cricketers will go onto Multnomah Field Friday afternoon with a team a third Btronger than any the Clubmen have gone against this year. Among fol lowers of the gams generally, chances are considered practically even. This will be the first Christmas Port land has had where soccer is the princi pal athletic event of the day; In fact. It will be virtually the only one this year. The officials and other members of Mult nomah are enthusiastic over the showing of the new team, which has won six straight games out of six played since the club decided to take un soccer, and has the unique record of having scored 40 goals to three for Its opponents. No member of the club team, how ever. Is looking for any snap Christmas. The Cricketers' team has been made over from goal to center forward since it began the season and the result has been a fast organization that ran the Columbias. last year's state champions, almost off their feet a week ago. The Cricketers will wear white and black barred shirts, while the Multnomah eleven will be arrayed In the customary red and white of the club. "With any kind of weather, an attendance that will resemble the turnouts for the big Inter collegiate games Is looked for. A WARM GIFT. Xothing nicer than a handsome pair of blankets.

SUIT TO PARTITION 'LAND Heirs of Hackleman Estate Ask Set tlement of $1 ?5, 000 Property. , m m ALBANY, Or., Dec. 22. (Special.) Suit was begun 5n the State Circuit Court here this afternoon to partition the lands of the estate of A. Hackle man, one" of the founders of Albany, and on whose donation land claim more than half of the city is built. The land Involved Is worth about $12o,000. In view of the fact that it will divide up a large tract of Albany property, which is desirable for manufacturing and rest' dence site. It is one of the most im portant suits filed here In years. The land Involved Includes 12 entire blocks Rnd 41 other lots In this city, about 150 acres, lying Just south and east of Albany, a large portion of which adjoins the city limits, a farm of 400 acres two miles south of the city and a farm of 340 acres five miles from Albany. The suit was filed by Hewitt & Sox. legal attorneys, representing Winona Josephine 'Williams, . wife of Rev. A. Melvin 'Williams, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, of McMinnvllle. Mrs. Williams is one of the five heirs of the estate, the others being Pauline Price. Thurston P. Hackleman, D. D. Hackleman and Frank A. Hackleman, all of Albany. All of "the eastern part of Albany is situated on the original claim of Abram Hackleman. He platted four different additions to the city and his heirs platted one.
