expects to present two Canadian cham
pions in action at the Pacific North
west Association's boxing and wrest

the available men. McCarthy and
Davlscourt were the only men In con
dition for a strenuous tourney, so the
duet were chosen for the fray and
shunted northward without delay. The
Canadians have promised a good-staed
mitt-mat delegation for the Northwest
struggle here, which was largely re
sponsible for the reciprocity act of the
Multnomah officials In sending men to
a meetrog without the Jurisdiction of
the United Slates athletic authorities.
McCarthy's victory over Carl Stier. of
Spokane, last week indicates that he Is
to be reckoned with by Northwest

has Improved wonderfully, is In first
claaa condition, and Is expected to beat
the pick of the Canuck heavies.
With 5300 invitations issued, insur
ing, a large turnout of members and
their friends, the formal opening of
the new Multnomah Club building will
take place tonight. The handsome new
structure, the finest In the West and
one of the best-euuipped In the coun
try, will be thrown open to inspection
at o'clock. An orchestra will dis
pense music during the evening.
Manager Morris will send his Mult
nomah Club baseball athletes against
the Chinook IndUns at 3:30 o'clock
tomorrow afternoon on Multnomah
Field. The squad of reds has been gath
ered torether by A. Miller for a tour
of the Kast and Middle West, and their
appearance here in the first . game
promises to result In a big turnout of
fans.
