Swears He Paid Heinrich $100
as Go-Between Acting for
Ed O'Connell.
MAY END MAT GAME HERE
Affidavit Is in Line With Knmors
That Hare Already Caused
Scandal in Portland
Wrestling Matches.
Sworn confession that he acted a
go-between for Eddie O'Connell, wrest
ling Intrf T-iirtrvr of the Multnomah Ama
teur Athletic Club, and Heinrich. the
Spokane wrestler who lately lost to
O'Connell. was made at the iMstnct At
torney's office yesterday by Andrew
Xfin. lnr.nl Trrpntler known as "Kid
Parker." The whole affair will likely be
threshed out by the county prana jury
within the next few days. This bit of
color to the scandal that has remained
!n rumor form until the present time. Is
likely to kill the wrestling game here it
Is feared.
One hundred dollars was the sum the
Multnomah Club wrestler paid Heinrich
to lay down, according to Miller. And
he paid this sum through Miller, the
cal being effected on the street on Heln
rich's written offer. It Is alleged.
Declares Bribe Was Offered.
As a result of his barefaced admission
and of the additional fact that he said
he had been offered t&Q not to go before
the grand Jury, Miller was taken into
custody, yesterday morning, by Deputy
Constable Kiernan. "While at the Con
stable's office. Miller was telling of the
crookedness of the wrestling game, a
thing which already had been generally
hinted at. but he was not Intent on bring
ing the matter up officially. The officer
at once placed him under arrest and
took, him before Deputy District Attorney
Fitzgerald. Inasmuch as a frame-up of
that sort might constitute a breach of
the law. It was thought best to get Mil
ler's affidavit. He demurred at first at
being haled before the District Attorney
but his objection was not heeded.
Ushered before Mr. Fitzgerald. Miller
went Into the affair In detail. He said
that previous to the match between
O'Connell and Heinrich, which occurred
December 3. at Merrill's hall, a letter was
received from Heinrich offering to "lay
down" If paid J100 In addition to the
amount he was to receive, for appearing.
Miller said that O'Connell,- on receiving
the letter, called on him and asked his
advice. Heinrich offered to take the first
fall and lose the second and third but
O'Connell suggested it might be better to
win the first and third faUs and lose one
Jn between.
Say 'Richards Held Money.
The J100 was then turned over to Miller,
so he says, and as O'Connell was afraid
he might appropriate it to his own use,
K. Richards was designated as custodian
of the coin. Miller said he gave the
money Into Richards' keeping to be
turned over to Heinrich after the Spo
kane man had "earned" It by throwing
the match. Richards denies knowledge
of any such transaction, saying that
while he handled tlOO for Miller it was
placed as wager money and had nothing
to do with anything crooked.
Opinion is divided as to the truth of
what Miller says. District Attorney Cam
eron takes no stock In the tale and says
so. But the fact remains that Heinrich
wrote a letter offering to throw the
..,, tvi. !. ttpr havinsr been exhibited
to reliable parties. There is no denial
as to the letter. And tt Is also a fact
that O'Connell won the first and third
falls and that the second fall looked very
much like a throw-off.
Miller was released from custody on his
own recognizance. Just when he will be
called before the grand Jury has not been
determined.

FAKER"
Declares Gang in Portland Is Jeal
ous and! Trying to "Get" Him.
SPOKANE. Wash., FeD. 26. (Spe
cial.) O'Connell, when seen here to
night, said:
"Positively no. I did no such thing
as this man Parker suggests. Joe
Heinrich wanted to beat men the worst
wav. Ask him about it; what does
he say? I beat Heinrich on merits.
Parker is in with an old-time ring of
faking, meal-ticket wrestlers in Port
hind that have never In their careers
there pulled a house of more than a
couple of hundred dollars. I went to
Portland last Fall, showed them all up
at the game, beat every man they

times the money they ever got. They
are Joalous of me, and simply because
I refused to have anything to do with
thfm after I found out that they were
a gang of athletic holdups. They are
now trying to knife me.
"This Isn't the first time they have
started such talk. They are out to
do- me in any way they can. and cut
into some of the good money that Port

wrestli-r they think is honest. In the
gang with Parker are 'Strangled
Smith, Jack King and others whose

"I would like to wrestle Mr.
Heinrich here, and had a talk with Mr.
Quinn today. I believe Mr. Quinn will
handle the match here and that we will
get together some time next month.
I will be delighted to meet him on even
terms. I only weigh 145 pounds my
self, so I think that's fair enough. In
Thris Gesek you have one of the most
remarkable amateur wrestlers I have
ever seen. He Is a wonder. We
thought Tuttle was good, and he is,
but we have to hand it to Gesek."
Heinrich was not In the audience, nor
could he be located at his house.

Indoor baseball enthusiasts will be
present in numbers at the Armory to

the series for the National Guard pen
nant, when the twirlers of Company E
will attempt to put it over the Company

Company E stands with six games won
and no losses. Company B won six, lost
one; Company C won five, lost one.
Should Company E win tonight, 'the pen

to the C team, the three companies will
have to play a series for the champion

Company C is a hot favorite tonight,
but each nine has its warm supporters.
Henderson will be 'the star curve artist
for the E's and Pat McHale and Wiesen
danger will toss 'em over the plate for
Company C. The Armory expects to ac
commodate a great crowd, for the Com

should the lads from C win tonight's
game, B will have another shot at cham

series Company E has shown starry play,
but the particular way the C team has
been showing up makes it the popular

SPOKANE, Wash., Feb. 26. (Special.)
If John Adams, 125-pound wrestler, had
been, in anything lika his normal physical
condition, the Spokane Amateur Athletic
Club's representatives would have accom
plished what had been hoped, a clean
swpep of all four events, boxing and
wrestling, In the final lnterclub meet
with the Multnomah Club, of Portland to
night. Spokane took three out of four, break
ing even In the wrestling bouts and win

Multnomah's only winner, securing two
falls from John Adams on aggressiveness,
but falling to pin his opponent's shoulders
to the mat. Chris Gesek took two falls
In 4 minutes 8 seconds and 5 minutes 37
seconds respectively from Dr. Tuttle, of
Portland.
Jack Kaye won a unanimous decision
from the two judges and the referee after
a fourth round had been called for from
Multnomah's star 125 pounder and North
west champion at that weight, Olmar
Dranga. No judge or referee was needed
to decide the last bout, for after half
the second round was over with honors
absolutely even up to that time, Frank
Carabin forced Hood Boettler, the Mult
nomah man into the corner of the ring,
and put both a left and a right crashing
flush on Boettler's jaw. Boettler was
knocked out before his body struck the
floor and had to be carried from the ring.
One event alono on last night's pro
gramme was worth the price of admis
