tllvldually or collectively they can be ac
commodated by depositing their coin.
O'Connell Vindicates Himself.
O'Connell seems to have satisfied all
who saw the bout with Albright that he
was a wrestler of more than passing
ability, and his wonderful agility and
speed, as well as strength when the latter
was required, more than offset any doubt
that may have been attached to his
former efforts. As to his sincerity, there
need be no question as far as the Albright
match la concerned, or as far as his de
termination to squelch the few alleged
wrestlers who believe him a four-flusher.
If they wish to meet O'Connell, It is up to
them to cover his money. There are no
strings to it. Furthermore It is real money
and any one skeptical about it can satisfy
himself without Inconvenience. All that
remains for "Strangler" Smith, Dan Sul
livan, Scholtes, Frank Riley, "Kid"
Parker, "Kid" Davis or Joe. Helnrich,
either singly or collectively. Is to come
forward either as Individuals or as a
body and deposit a similar sum and the
match will be arranged. The writer, who
has no connection with O'Connell or his
matches whatever, will guarantee that
O'Connell will keep his end of the bargain.
BT W. J. PETRAIN.
The. result of the wrestling match
Thursday night, when Eddie O'Connell
defeated Con Albright in the fastest,
cleanest and hardest-fought wrestling
match ever seen In Portland, seems to
have caused certain people to scout its
legitimacy. The doubters are friends of
Sullivan and "Strangler" Smith. Both
these, men. are fair wrestlers, but neither
has so far demonstrated he la In the
class of either Albright or O'Connell.
"Strangler" Smith has been making as
sertions that Albright offered to "frame"
a match with him, or at least such is the
assertion of his friends and backers. Taat
night Con Albright announced that he
would take on "Strangler" 8mlth at any
time, tonight if necessary, and guarantees
to beat the longshoreman for all the
money he and his friends can collect.
zjegpue ina iaci mac ne was given a
gruelling match by O'Connell, Albright
announces he does not care what Smith
weighs or how much money he and his
backers want to put up, he will cover
all their bets and agrees to toss the fellow
in a straight match.
Albright Challenges Smith.
"Smith Is quoted as saying that I
offered to 'lay' down to him." said
Albright last night. "I never offered to
"lay" down to anybody In my life, and as
for 'laying- down to him, why I am will
ing to cover all the money he or his
friends can raise that I'll beat him two
falls in an hour or any other agreement
that he wants to make. If he Is the
wrestler he thinks he Is, I would advise
him to get busy and quit talking about
fakes and the like. The trouble with
Smith seems to be that he thinks he is
a wrestler and I don't believe he ever
was one. If he is, I am willing to take
him on and am not asking any time to
prepare. Tomorrow night, the next
night or any time will do. If he wants
the game let him come to it."
Aiongiu expressed himself In strong
terms when referred to a story sup
posedly Inspired by "Strangler" Smith
and published last night. Smith la
liar if he says I ever offered any other
proposition to mm tnan to throw him
twice in one hour," is the way Albright's
naiement can d printed.

with Fanatic, the other starter, close up.
Pajaorita ruled favorite throughout the
betting and, getting off in front, was

There were several surprises flaring the
day. Barney Stehreiber won purses with
Deutschland and Salnotta, while Pajao

other winners, represented H. O. Bed-
well.
Jockeys E. Sullivan and Soorllle were
suspended today, the former for carry ins

Closed Paper Chase This Afternoon.
The Portland Hunt Club will hold a
closed paper chase this afternoon. The
hares for the occasion are W. M. Davis
and Sidney Lowenberg, and these enthu
siastic horsemen have laid a course that
is expected to prove exciting in the ex
treme. Something like 20 Jumps have
been provided In the usual eight-mile
course. The start will be at Woodstock
schoolhouse and the finish on Millard
avenue, near the station of that name.
BIG SOCCER GAME TODAY
SCOTCH VS. AI.Ij AMERICANS 3X
MULTNOMAH I "IK LI).
11 Clansmen Win They Will Be Tied
With English Team for
Championship.
Cries from hundreds of Scottish throats
will urge on to victory the clansmen
who represent the land of the heather
in the Scotch American association foot
ball game, on Multnomah field this af
ternoon. The Scots' eleven has been
chosen with especial care by a selection
committee that put In three weeks on the
Job. All the Scotchmen on the Multnomah
team caught places Dick .and the
Matthew brothers while Burns, Toung
and J. K. Mackle were chosen from the
Columbias, Bruce and Robertson from the
Cricketers and McCafferty from the
IRangers. The remaining player la Bu
chanan, a San Francisco goalkeeper, 'who
happens to be In tqwn. It Is considered
eminently fitting that both a Burns and
a Bruce should figure on the heather
wearing team this year.
This will be the second of the annual
Internationals and kickoff will be at
8:15. Hutchinson, an Englishman, will be
referee. If the Scotch win, they will be
tied with the English for the Interna
tional trophy and the deciding game will
be played March 13, on Multnomah field.
Kach year this series creates the great
est excitement of the soccer season, and
while the Americana were hard hit by In
juries to several of their best men, they
came Into the field with a hard fighting
team and will not concede any chance of
defeat today. The lineups will be as fol

The first promise of sunny weather the
players of sbecer have had, practically,
since the season opened last October,
comes with today's game. So far as
weather is concerned, a curse seems to
have pursued the sport; nevertheless it
has made great strides, both in arousing
general interest and in the number and
quality of players developed.

Two Trade. Dollars in Albany.
ALBANY, Or., March 5. (Special.)
That there are more trade dollars in
circulation than the five reported in a
special in Thursday's Oregonian from
North Yakima, Wash., is shown by the
fact that there are two In this city.
One is owned by Ralph E. McKechnle
and one by Charles ft. Stewart, both
of whom are clerks in the First 'Na
tional Bank in this city. McKechnie's
dollar was coined in 1876 and Stewart's
in 1877. The trade dollars were recalled
from circulation and are comparatively
rare.

RACE
iXDOons
Portland Mara tlion Will Be" Held in
Oriental Building;.
Feeling that it Is better for the as
sociation not to enter the sport-promoting
arena, the T. M. C A. directors
have decided to hand over their Mara
thon scheme to Karl Armstrong and
George Solid, promoters of the Seat
tle Marathon race.
Armstrong and Solid have already
engaged the Oriental Building at the
Fair Grounds for the holding of the
contest, which will be pulled off on
Friday. March 26. The course at the
Oriental building Is probably consider
ably better than any outdoor track
would be at this time of the year and
It will be possible to make far better
provision for the convenience of both
public and runners.
In order that the race may be ab
solutely above reproach Physical Di
rector Grllley of the Toung Men's
Christian Association has been asked
to attend to the selection of the of
ficials and to arrange for the pres
ence of reliable officials so that there
will be none of the unfortunate tncl
dents has characterized the clas
sic race when run at other cities.
The list of runners is probably con
siderably better than that which en
tered at the Seattle event and it is in
tended to get representative runners
from every city on the Pacific Coast.
All the best runners who have recent
ly been racing in California will be
brought to Portland. No difficulty is
anticipated In getting the Portland
runners In, owing to the impossibility
of holding any outdoor Marathon with
reasonable success.
Armstrong and Solid are registered
at the Franklin Hotel and they will
receive the names of entrants any time
up to a week before the race.
SPORTSJfEX MUCH PUT OUT BV
L'liKOIl IX STATUTE.
Solon s Will Be Requested to Correct
Act When Tliey Meet in Spe
cial Session.
Sportsmen generally are sorely dis
pleased with the flagrant error that
has been discovered In the new came
code as it was enacted by the recent
Legislature. undetected carelessness
on the part of clerks emoloved on
the enrolling committee by which the
prefix "un" was omitted from the word
awful." In the paragraph relating to
the open season for elk. has made it
possible for these animals to be killed
11 months In the year. Men interested
In the protection and preservation of
game In this State will urge that this
error be corrected by the Legislature
at the special session which has been
called by Governor Benson.
The original bill proposed absolute
protection for elk until September 15.
1314. wltn the further provision that
after that date these animals should
be killed only during the month begin
ning September 15 and ending Oc'o-
per la. annually. As passed by the
Legislature that feature of the law
protecting elk for five years Is omitted
and their slaughter Is permitted at any
time during the year except between
September 15 and October (15 which
originally was Intended as the only
season of the year In which they could
be killed. The bill was drafted by A.
E. Gebhardt and I P. W. Qulmby who
spent over two months at the task; and
they naturally are disappointed that
such a gross error should creep Into
the law.
The.-'botch' work was done either by
the game committee in the House or
In the Senate, or by the enrolling clerk.
and not by the men who drew ths or
iginal bill," said Mr. Qulmby yester
day. "It has been the judgment of
11 competent person who have seen

dlfs cannot bo retained by ptrmastrs for
the benefit of suea tailors If tbo bills are for
civilian doming.
the code as originally drafted by ZSr.
Gebhardt that it was complete, and
from a legal standpoint as nearly per
fect as any such code could have been
drawn, and I think if the Legislature
had adopted It as originally drawn it
would not have made a mistake. I
notice also that the present game war
den Is now at Salem endeavoring to
do what he can to have the error cor
rected. It occurs to me these errors
made by the commutes and enrolling
clerks -should have been discovered be
fore too late."
FANTAN PLAYERS CAUGHT
Raid on Gambling Ien Results In
Arrest of Two Chinese.
A raid made by Detectives Howell,
Reed and Tlchenor. last night on a gam
bling den in the rear of S3 Second street,
resulted in the capture of two Chinese
mho had made their escape from the den
with the paraphernalia of the fantan
gatno In their possession. The other
players escaped. The detectives encoun
tered barred doors, and while they were
banging away at these obstacles with
sledge-hammers the gamesters made
their escape through secret panels con
structed in ths walls of the building of
these places. Divining that something
of this character was going on. one of the
officers ran nround to the entrance at 87
Second street, two doors away, and in
the hallway of this house found the two
men arrested making a terrible scramble
to get out of tho way. The prisoners
gave the names of Ah Sing and Ah
Chung. They were released on ball. In
view of the announcement of the Muni
cipal Court authorities to the effect that
Chinese gambling cases would be pun
ished with Jail sentences, last night's raid
created no little excitement among the
jCelestlal professional gambling element.
