11 TTTE SICmXTSG OltEGOXIAX, WEDNESDAY, JAXT7ARY 27, 1900. BDUTIS EVEN BREAK Riley and O'Connell to Meet on Equal Terms. THEIR RECORDS ON MAT Tacoma Grappler IT as Intended Title in Puret Sound CKy for .Two Tears, Winning In All Se-ven Matches. Frank Riley, of Tacoma, who wreetles O'Connell here at the Exposition rink tomorrow night, broke into the wrest ling game of the City of Destiny In much the same manner as O'Connell did hem. Ttllev comes from the Mid die West, the section that has produced most of America's great grapplers of the last decade, and when he drifted into Tacoma two years ago ana an nounced himself a mat artist they were all after him. Riley weighed 140 pounds at that time, and Blase, a Tacoma restaurant keeper of 160 pounds, who had been reinning supreme In that bailiwick, bet $100 be could throw the youngster twice in one hour. Me maae it iwu to be safe, but he thought he could An It a half dosen times. He had caught a Tartar, and hla hundred nlunks went glimmering. After 32 minutes of desperate struggling he managed to pin the shoulders of the elusive stranger to the mat lor me tout falL He had 2S minutes left for the next fall, but In hla haste to do a Quick Job he left an opening, and after only II minutes of hla remaining um " " gone. Riley flopped him over and held him down. Since that time Riley has met all comers In Tacoma under 10 pounds, and has won all of his matches seven In number. O'Connell has had two years more experience on the mat. but every other quirk of the dope puts them on an even basis, and from the tales of the respectlvo saeeds of the two contest ants there will be legs and arma fly ing around the ring in great shape Thursday nlht. O'Connell has an inch the advantage of reach and Is larger In the neck by a bare quarter or an inch. Riley measures right back in lung power and haa a quarter of an Inch more expansion ot tne cnesi. He Is two Inches larger around the waist, but his weight Is so distributed that he tips the scale at Just one pound more than O'ConnelL His legs are smaller than CConnell's. which puts Ma weight where it does a wrestler the most good, above the waist. The comparative measurements of the two men are: O'Connell. wrh T.'.i, Klley. 3J 'Kk t'hMl. normal 1'ha.Mf xnanded ......... 4- : llreps. normal ...........

They are Kid" lavls. who challenged O'Connell at his last match, and Harry Horaok. of Omaha. Horack Just blew Into town four days ago. He weighs 140 pounds and has come West for the express purpose of establishing himself In the wrestling game In this section. Davis is well known here, but nego tiations for a match with O'Connell have falien through because, to date, ho has been unable to produce any back ing for the side bet that O'Connell de mands. He weighs 137 pounds. He started the game as a pupil of "Strang ler" Smith, but in the last two years he has been wrestling all over the Northwest, and is a classy and rough wrestler for the length of time be has been at the game. SEW STYLES TTiAT DEVELOPED iVanconver Basketball Team Vsea Ground Pass Effectively. The greatest game of basketball seen in Portland this season," said Physical Director Grllley, of the T. M. C. A., about the coming basketball game Thurs day evening, when the ex-champlons of the league, Vancouver. B. C, will play on the local association floor. Judging the teams by their weight and speed there would' appear to be nothing to choose between them, but the visitors have developed a style of play that has made them unique. When they chance to encounter a Ave as proficient as they themselves are in the customary passing game, they re vert to a ground pass, send the ball hurt line between their legs or in any pos sible way. wherever they can catch a glimpse of the yellow and black uniform stockings worn by all the members of the team. To a team unaccustomed to their methods this usually spells defeat. There have been Improvements in the local team though, that gives It more than a righting chance of the game. The game will be strictly refereed and will be one of science without any roughness what ever. If the services of one of the best league referees can accomplish that end. The line-up follows: Portland. Position. Vancouver. Hartmaa F". Kora Huwll F Turk Young . .C .. Cnnnlngham Sweeney .....Q Clarke. Snare Sheets Matthews, Phlpps ALLEN FIVE DEFEATS HILL Ctodets Lead In First Half, bat Are Later Outclassed.

Hill had the advantage by 15 to 13 points at Its close. The Allen Ave got into action in earnest In the second half and tossd baskets with such fre quency that Hill was soon far behind. The cadets were only able to negotiate four points in the second half, while the boys from across the river made 17 points. The game was played without the rough tactics often seen on the floor.

Berry's Los Angeles Nine, However, Sliows Vp "Well on Taper, but Needs Catcher. BY TV. J. PETRA1S. "Happlcus" Hogan, better known to the Immediate members of his family as Wallace Bray, who is the new man ager of the Vernon team, or rather of the continuous baseball appendix of Los Angeles, Is collecting, a bunch of tortoises for his "new" club, if one is to Judge by the assortment so far announced as having come to terms with the comedian backstop-manager. The names, so far announced as hav ing readily agreed to accept meal tick ets from Happy look like an assort ment of antique collections. For in stance "Wild Bill" Devereau found that th Oakland manas-ement was not crazy to sign him a year ago arfd there fore vaulted to the outlaws, lie was reinstated only to permit the balltos- er"s going to the Orient to do so with out danger of being declared ineiigiDie. However, Bill has one asset mat win probably earn him his salary, for he la funny enough to prove a drawing card even though his ball playing days are about numbered. Anson Mott. erstwhile a Portlandor and a ball player whose physique and splendid throwing arm promised to give him a chance among the big fel lows two years ago, is another player the happy one has fastened his mud hooka on. Mott could be a good ball plaver. and the only reason he is not a star is because his manly figure is so impregnated with laziness that he never will be a baseball player of any value until he can ginger up. George Haley, who played some lit tle time with Van Haltren's Oakland bunch, is slated to hold down, second base for Hogan's team. Haley Is a fairly fast man. However, his slow ness in utilizing his thinking apparatus lost him his Oakland job. Happy has annexed Carl Lewis, the Oakland backstop, to his antique col lection, and while Lewis is not yet in the "Osier" class, he Is slower than Mayor Lane in paying off' the ex-de-tectlves. About the best ball player yet named as a member of the new Vernon team is "Kitty" Brashear, and while he has qualifications that make him a valuable man for a club, he la not rated as a. speed marvel. All of the players named are sched uled for infield positions, and unless Hanplcus" selects players of faster caliber as baserunners than those an nounced, his club will not be in the race. Happy 1ms also secured a young ster named SohaCffer, an lnfielder, and Thomas and Seltx. a couple of slab ar tists who are playing In Southern Cali fornia. Hen Berry, the Angel magnate, an nounces his Los Angeles lineup for the coming season as follows: Arthur Ross, erstwhile outfielder and favorite In Seattle, and Orendorff, catchers; Ralph Tozer, Walter Nagle. Frana IIos, George Koestner. Thorsen Phil lips and Brlswalter, pitchers; Francis Dillon, first base: Howard, second bag ger; Judson Smith, third Backer; Bert Pelma.'. Bhortstop; and Rube Kills, Pete Dalv. Earl Goodwin and Thompson, outfielders. The array of talent looks good except back of the bat. but Berry will probably be foxy enough to land a good receiver before tne gong- sounds. John S. Tobln, one of the backers of the I'tah State League, and a. promi nent fan of Salt Lake City, has written President Lucas pledging his support to the Inter-Mountain League when that organization shall have been com pleted. Mr. Tobln was president of the league, and states that he Is anx lous to see the new league prove a success In all departments. see Pitcher Lloyd Sklllman. the lanky twirler who was with San Francisco last season, has been signed by Bob Brown, of Spokane, who continues to grab up all the ball players he can find. Brown has also landed a player named Jehl. but falls to say anything about the fellow's career or from whence he halls. ess Old Joe Sugden, the former Vancou ver catcher, has picked up a young phenom. whom he declares will prove the real thing for the "Canucks" next season. The youngster's name Is Wal lace H. Smith, and Sugden found him In Philadelphia and called Owner Dickson's attention to him. Scouring Plant Building. ECHO. Jan. 16. SpecIal.)

GREET WITH ROSES Epworth League to Distribute Flowers to Delegates. WILL HOLD RALLY SERVICE! Local Cabinet Plans for Entertain ment of Epworthlans, Who Will Visit This City En Route to Seattle Convention. Portland District Epworth League will distribute 30.000 rosea to visiting delega tions of Epworthlans, bound to and from the international convention, which will be held In Seattle July 7 to 12 next.

In addition to this, thero will be other forma of welcoming. . A bureau will probably be established at Seattle to supply delegations with Portland and Oregon information, and - DArflonil elmllne bureau will like ly be maintained at the Union Depot and uptown headquarters will probably be established at Taylor-street Church, which has been placed at the disposal of the district league by Dr. Benjamin Young, the pastor.
