12 THE MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 8, . 1913. WORD FORBIDS BOUT Sheriff Fears O'Connell and Buzukos Match "Framed." POSITIVE ORDER IS GIVEN Efforts to Go Through With Plans for Wrestling Affray Are Spoiled by Interference of Officials Following Close Inquiry. "There will be no wrestling match between Peter Buzukos and Eddie O'Connell Thursady night," announced Sheriff Word yesterday. "I telephoned O'Connell and told him not to go through with it. They tell me that 1 have no letral right to stop It, but I have invited them to go ahead and see whether I'll stop it or not. District Attorney Evans had said earlier in the afternoon that he was not averse to the match being held pro vlded it was announced from the stage in advance, in English and Greek, the native tongue of Bukukos, that all bets were off. On this statement by the District Attorney hangs the -tory of how the officials happened to inter fere. Report of Frameup Heard. "Reports that the match was framed came both to Chief of Police Slover, who assigned Captain Keller to investi gate, and to Mr. Evans, who told me to look into it," said Deputy District Attorney Murphy. "The rumors which came to us were that it was the game to let Buzukos get the first fall in 40 minutes, this to be the cue for the Greeks to bet on Buzukos. O'Connell was to take the next two falls and the money lost by the Greeks divided. We had Buzukos in here this morning and asked him about the fake, reduced to writing, that he tried to frame up with Sttangler Smith at Roseburg about a year ago. He denied that he knew any thing about it. "in that Instance Smith was not really in the frameup and told his friends to bet on him. A good deal of money went up on Smith to win and then Buzukos appeared in civilian clothes and said the match was off. Smith read the agreement for him to lay down to the crowd and Buzukos was hissed from the place. Today he said that he could not write or read English and wanted to have us believe that all he had signed with Smith were the articles for the match." Sheriff Word Fonitlve. "There have been too many fake wrestling matches in Portland, al together too many fiascos in which the public was buncoed not only in pa ing admittance fees but in betting," said Sheriff Word. "I am not going to take any chances on this match. The principals will be arrested if they go on. and that's all there Is to It. I'll find some charge to put against them and make It stick." "Chief of Police Slover and Mr. Evans have promised that we could wrestle. Please don't print anything to hurt the match," pleaded Buzukos last night. "I'll see the Sheriff and fix It up with him. He'll act all right when he un derstands." "This fellow Buzukos has been hounding me for a year, firing chal lenges at me," said O'Connell last niht. "Finally, I decided to accept and to give him a good beating. When I met him at Roseburg I had a stiff knee. I'm in good shape now and can throw him easily. The talk about a frameup, though, is silly. I'm Just as satisfied if the match is called off." ZBYSZKO TO MEET JACKSON Wrestlers Arrange for Bout in Port lnnd January 21. Apparently undismayed by the failure which has greeted professional wrest ling promotions in Portland this Win ter, Jack Herman, manager of Stanis laus Zbyszko, the great Polish mat man. has decided to make this one of the objective points on his tour of the United States. Zbyszko, claimant of the world's title, has aranged to wres tle Jackson, the Dayton. Wash, heavy weight on Monday night, January 21, in Portland. The following telegram received from Buffalo last night Is self explanatory: "Zbyszko and Jackson will wrestle to a finish in Portland January 21. The terms and date were definitely settled by wire today. 1 am prepared to send a forfeit of J1000 to guarantee fulfill ment of the contract on behalf ot Zbyszko," said Jack Herman, the Pole's manager." Zbyszko is to wrestle In Seattle two . days after h.ls Portland engagement, opposing Polly Grim, the 225 pound football star. He. appeared here last year in a handicap against Berg. Grimm and Jackson, the "heavy" Herman has chosen for Portland, wrest led for two hours and 20 minutes to a draw last Fall. Jackson also wrestled Eddie O'Connell. of Portland, to a one hour draw at Pomeroy last Summer. Since then he Is said to have improved wonderfully and has beaten Ralph Grant, ot Spokane, Heinrich and Kennedy. Wrestling has not been flourishing iu Portland since last March, when John Berg quit cold in a match with Fred Beel, of Wisconsin. Just prior to the match Berg demanded that Beell permit him to win. and, to protect the promoter from losing, Beel so agreed, double crossing the Swede after getting him on the mat. The bout broke up in a fuss. Berg going to the dressing room and refusing to continue. COKBETT TO BE AT EMPKESS "Gentleman Jim" Will Bo Portland Visitor for Week of January 20. Jim Corbett ex-world's heavyweight boxing champion and foremost thespian among the ex-lighters, will be a Port land visitor during the week of January 20. "Gentleman Jim" will be seen at the Empress Theater in a monologue act. The Callfornlan is at Seattle this week, goes to Tacoma next week, then to Victoria, and then down to Portland. He is making his Northwestern trip In the nature of a reunion with his many friends in this section. Corbett won the championship from John L. Sullivan at New Orleans on September 7, 1S93, knocking out his opponent in the 21st round. He lost the title to Bob Fltzslmmons at Carson City. Nev on March 17, 1891. in 14 rounds. Amateur Athletics. For the purpose of adopting a sched ule and setting the date for the first game, P. Chappelle Browne, president of the recently-organized Oregon Soccer League, has called a meeting of the managers of the different teams for next Saturday night at the Archer Wlgglns store. The Oregon Soccer League is composed of the following teams: Lents, Portland Heights, South Portland, St. Johns. Vernon and the Cricketers' second team. Captain St. Martin, of the Hill Mili tary Academy basketball team, will have his men out for practice In the next few days. The holidays have pre vented the men from taking daily prac tice, but St. Martin expects to have a strong, aggregation when they play the first game of the Interscholastic League with the Lincoln High basket tossers. Coach Drake, of the Jefferson High School five, expects to carry as many as 10 men on his regular team this year. The Jefferson Ave last year was the second best team In the Interscholastic League, winning 14 games and losing two to the Washington- team, which won the championship. Judging from the workouts, which take place each afternoon in the gymnasium, the regu lar five will be composed of men that made the football team this year. Fla gel, Flynn, Earl, Hendrickson and L. Lister all played on the football team, and are likely to represent their school on the basketball team. This afternoon at 3 o'clock in the Jefferson gymnasium the Vancouver Barracks will play a practice game with the high school quintet. Basketball practice is now in full swing at the Lincoln High School. The first hard practice since the holidays was held last night in the gymnasium. Coach Borleske had a large squad of men on hand. It is the intention of Borleske to form three basketball teams this year, and keep shifting the players from one team to another until he is satisfied that he has the best material on the regular team. In all probability Clarin. Dudley, Cudlipp, Lily, Mailing, Gear, Gage, Mulkey and Holt will be the material for the first team. Tonight the Lincoln boys play the Y. M. C. A. Brownies, and on Friday night they will play the Washougal team. GAMP CHOICE DEFERRED M'CREDIE TO GO SOUTH BEFORE SELECTING SITE. Williams to Wait null Almost Ready to Start Before Deciding Where Colts Will Train. Portland's two 1913 baseball train ing camps, for Coaster Beavers and Northwestern Colts, are not likely to be chosen until the respective managers of the clubs invade California on inspec tion tours. Walter McCredie, of the Beavers, has so many and flattering offers, of quarters that he finds it hard to make a choice and contemplates a trip south within a few weeks, while Nick Williams, of the Colts; will an nounce the scene of the Colt activity after a Juunt to California In late Feb ruary tr early March. "All I want is some good place to give the boys about ten days of good work afteT the training camp call on March 16 or 18, and then we will be ready for the practice game series up the California interior on our way back to Portland," says Nick Williams, the leader of the Northwestern League club. "Last year I waited until baseball had taken its annual hold on the Cali fornia towns before naming the train ing camp, and unless exceptional in ducements are offered at some place I am acquainted with, I shall follow the same course this year. From appear ances Skcramento or some city north of it will be the scene of the prelim inary conditioning. Then, if we can se cure several games in each of two or three other towns the boys will be In fine shape for the opening of the season on April 16 in Spokane." Fielder Jones expects to add a col lege "grad" to his 1913 staff of umpires. He had his eyes on the chap hst sea son, but did not think he could afford to experiments However, he has the Northwestern League situation well in hand and has offered the ex-collegian a contract. Fielder has several other let ters out but until he receives answers will have nothing, to report on the umpire question. Ben Davis, former outfielder for Spo. kane, Vancouver, and other North western League clubs, is after a job as an umpire. Ben has the eye, for he was noted as one of the best judges of balls and strikes in the Northwest. Homer Hawarth, the Portland lad who will be a member of Nick Wil 'iams' 1913 catching staff, batted .363 In 11 ganres with Astoria last season, leading the club. Not only did he top the batters but he was first in fielding, making five errors In 165 chances, for an average of .969. Hawarth scored seven home runs in 11 games. Joe McGinnity, the Tacoma owner, will be back at Tiger headquarters about January 15. He is back at Newark, superintending moving opera tions and looking about for likely talent for 1913. In his absence Secre tary Frank Kedpath, brother-in-law of McGinnity, has sent out contracts, Cy Neighbors sending in the first signed copy. The Northwestern League may have two new baseball parks for 1913. Work has commenced on Bob Brown's new Vancouver plant while McGinnity will announce his park plans when he re turns from the East. There is consider, able talk of erecting a new baseball home on the edge of the Tacoma tide flats, within five minute'n walk of the center of the city. Mike Lynch will visit Victoria to morrow to have a conference with President Wattelet, of the Bees, while Tealey Raymond, Seattle manager, is looking forward anxiously to the call of training camp. CHANCE 10 SIGN TODAY PAUREIili'S" AKGU5IENTS" TOO MUCH FOR KX-OCB. Announcement of "Final" Decision to Retire Followed by Admission That He Has Changed Mind. CHICAGO. Jan. 7. Frank Chance, in all probability, will sign tomorrow as manager of the New York American League club. After a five-hour confer ence this afternoon with Frank Farrell, owner of the New York club. Chance admitted that Farrell's "arguments" had been strong enough to cause him to waver from his decision to retire from baseball for a year. Chance's arrival was heralded today by the announcement of his "final" de cision to devote the next year to his orange ranch in California. Mr. Farrell declared he would use every effort to overcome this resolve. That he was successful was proved by what prac tically was an admissloln by Chance after the conference that he bad changed his mind. While the terms offered Chance were not revealed, it Is rumored his contract will call for a salary approaching $20, 000 for a term of years, and an interest in the club. It Is said that, rather than disappoint the New York baseball fol lowers, -Mr. Farrell offered inducements that Chance hardly could refuse. This Is confirmed by Chance's statement that Mr. Farrell's "arguments were convinc inp." Chance expects to arrange speedily the sale of his home in Ravenswood and to leave for California Saturday. An ounce of common soda dissolved tn three or four ounces of vinetrar will cleanse Iron rust and calcium deposits from glass tubes of water gauges. CLUB ELECTION N GH Multnomah Directors Name Nominating Committee. ELLSWORTH WILL RETIRE President Declines to Be Candidate Again Keek's Five Win Basket ball Title Keen Race Is On for Second Honors. The 1913 political campaign of Mult nomah Amateur Athletic Club opened last night, when the board of directors named a nominating committee of five representative clubmen. These men will submit a list of ten members to the olub, five of whom will be elected to the directorate at the annual meeting on Tuesday, February 11. .R. C. Hart is chairman of the 1913 nominating committee, the other mem bers being W. A. Holt, J. F. Ewing. Hal Rasch and Cass Campbell. This com mittee will Immediately secure accept ances from ten members as nominees to the board. President Ellsworth announced last night that he will not be a candidate for re-election to.the board. The du ties of a trustee and officer were en tirely congenial, but the pressure of personal affairs is too great for him to devote time to other matters. As President Ellsworth, Vice-President A. D. Katz and Treasurer A, H. Allen are among the retiring trustees, a big change is d'Je in the list of club officials. The other retiiing members of the board are Edgar Frank and F. H. Ransom. The six remaining mem bers of the board of 11, who will hold over for the final year of their two year term, are C. V. Dyment, T. Morris Dunne, R. W. "Wilbur. George Simons, Charles Barton and Fred De Neffe. "While the Multnomah Club basketball league season Is several games from an end, the campaign is practically over, with Walter Keek's team, winning eight straight games. The remaining two games on the schedule, .with Kropp's and Fisher's teams, will be forfeited by the latter to make way for the play-off of .the three-cornered tie for second, place among teams headed by Masters, Allen and Morris. Each of the three tied fives has won six games and lost two. Rivalry for second position, which carries with it silver medals for each member of the team, is even keener than that for the championship. Keek's squad has been far in the lead for many weeks, while the' struegle for runner-up place has continued for just as long. The players on the Keck team, consisting of Toomey and Bennett, forwards: Keck, center: and Robinson and McKay, guards, will receive gold medals for their work. The Club League, composed of 10 teams, has been the most successful in the history of the basketball, with 72 men trying out for the 10 teams. The representative winged "M" five, composed of Masters and Fisher, for wards; Morris and Keck, center; Pugh. McFarland and Verick. guards, will open the season Saturday night at Dallas, Or., tackling the 1912 cham pions. Charles Mackie, manager of the team, will accompany the boys on their initial invasion. The January 25 game at Eugene against the University of Oregon five is hanging fire. The collegians tre after a game on Friday night. January 24. while the Multnomah men declare that they cannot make the trip for that night in the week. ... The club bowlers have abandoned the women's bowling scheme at the request of the board of directors, but an indi vidual tourney for the .championship will be started within a week or two. More than 100 rollers are expected to compete in the trophy affair. . The club's first five, which defeated the Foresters Monday night, is sched uled to meet the Meier & Frank team tomorrow night. The Multnomah team will be: Hanno, McCabe, Edgar, Capen and Scharpf. Tad Derbyshire, the club's fireman scrapper, will box as a light heavy weight at the Olympic Club programme of January 28, at San Francisco. He can make 158 pounds, the middleweight limit, but normally weighs around 165 pounds, so will not be overwetghed more than 10 pounds if he tackles a heavy - "commission weight" man, or one tipping the scales at 175 pounds. ore6okeedsplayer HAYWARD LACKS OXE FORW ARD FOR BASKETBAIIi TEAM. Inter-Fraternity Fives Drafted to Supply Vacancy Idaho Games Only Few Days Off. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene, Jan. 7. (Special.) To present as strong a front as possible against the basketball team from the University of Idaho, which will meet the Oregon quin. tet on the local foor next Monday and Tuesday nights. Coach Hayward is reinforcing his squad this week. Yes terday he recruited almost a dozen of the stars of the inter-fraternity league. The lnter-fraternity championship race is now in full swing, and the drawing made by Hayward will weaken several of the teams, for as soon as a man has appeared in a varsity line up he is barred from further participation in lntracollegiate games. Hayward, however, will spare no efforts to secure the strongest available player for the fifth position on the first team, which Is now vacant, even If he is forced to use his entire string of substitutes in the Idaho game. The failure of the Northwest confer ence to sanction the participation of students who have played professional baseball in the other branches of col lege sport is responsible for Hayward's quandary. "Plnkey" Rader, who re ceived a try-out with Nick Williams last Summer, was slated for Oregon's frst basketball team ths season, along with Sims, Walker, Fenton and Bradshaw, the other varsity men. Rader is one of the fastest forwards who ever traversed the Oregon floor, and made the first team last year, al though leaving college in midseason. In his place Hayward may use Brooks, from Silverton, a man about as mas sive as Cornell, Oregon's football mid get, but possessed of like speed and cleverness. Although basketball under the strenuous intercollegiate rules is best adapted for big men. Hayward figures that Brooks' very dimlnutiveness will aid him in eluding the Idaho guards. He may also use Boylen, a Pendleton lad, who has starred in inter-class and inter-fraternity circles here and who can play at either forward or guard. Then there are Briedwell. Parsons, Fee, Stevenson, Still, Gould and Street, all of whom have been drafted from -their club or class teams as likely varsity iimber. Of the veterans. Walker will probably play a forward position, with Fenton at center and Captain Sims and Bradshaw guards. PllZER OX WAT TO EXGLAXD Battle With Wells Scheduled After Which Lost Laurels Sought. CHICAGO, Jan. 7. Al Palzer is going to England to fight Bombardier Wells as the first step In an attempt to climb back to a position from which-to challenge for championship honors. This announcement was made here to day by Palzer. He was a fellow pas senger with Frank Chance, the base ball leader, on the train from Los An geles. Palzer had a slightly discolored eye as a memento of his defeat by Luther McCarty on New Year's day. He said he suffered little in the battle and was able to continue when he was declared defeated by the referee. TWO STARS WILL BE MISSED Englehorn and De Witt Reach Limit of College Football. Two Northwestern athletes who per formed prodigies of valor on Eastern gridirons last season will be seen no more In interscholastic football. Wesley Englehorn, Dartmouth and Ail-American tackle, and Wallace De .Witt, Princeton fullback, have played three years of college football and are barred from further participation in the sport. Englehorn was elected to the 1913 captaincy of the Dartmouth team, but as he, together with De Witt, played with Washington State College before going East, his resignation as captain was placed in the hands of the Dart mouth officials. WOLGASl NOT RETIRING AD SAYS HE IS AXXIOUS TO FIGHT RITCHIE AGAIX. Pugilist Also Willing to Meet Man dot or Rivers-Ex-Champion on Way to Oregon to Buy Ranch. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 7. (Special.) "Retired? Not if I can fight any one' of three men Ritchie, Mandot or Riv ers or as long as any promoter wants to pay me $10,000 for a match with any other lightweight in the country." That was the way Ad Wolgast, who arrived today from Los Angeles, answered the published stories of his contemplated retirement." It was Tom Jones who first of all answered the queries as to whether his boy intended to quit. "Nothing in it," said Jones. "Ad is liable to say anything when he Is talk ing." "I guess I know what I am talking about." replied Wolgast, who was for the moment nettled at the Insinuation he might have been conversing at ran dom. "That's all right," retorted Tom, "but you Just watch how fast that boy will climb back into the ring If he gets the right kind of an offer. It is all a mat ter of the right Inducements. Wolgast doesn't have to box so far as the money end is concerned, but if he can see money he will be Johnny on the spot." Both Jones and Wolgast are partic ularly bitter at Ritchie and Nolan and boast that Ritchie is ducking a return engagement. Wolgast and Jones are once more headed for Oregon with the announced Intention of buying a ranch somewhere. This will make about their fifth at tempt to buy in Southern Oregon and the Willamette Valley, and if every thing goes right, they will take their departure again tonight on a late train. Aside from the rather large idea of buying a ranch worth close to 150,000, neither Wolgast nor his manager seem to have any definite Idea of where they will go or how long they will stay, aside from the fact that they Intend finally to go on East "We are going to make our first stop at Medford," said Jones. "We will also visit McMinnvllle, Albany and Lebanon and perhaps Ad will buy a ranch. We haven't decided how long our stay will be, so It may be three or four days or a couple of weeks." Ad will go to Cadillac, while Jones will stop In Chicago. SPORTING SPARKS HENRY PALZER, father of the giant pugilist, Al Palzer, sent $250 to Chicago from his home at Osslan, la., to bet on his son against Luther Mc carty. Papa Palzer is now shaving himself and wearing homespun socks. ... Felix Martinke, former Tacoma and Vernon midget, had his Jawbone broken in a game at Santa Barbara a fortnight ago. It was the old trick of attract ing the batter's attention to the mask and then having the pitcher slip over a strike. In this case the brush flinger soaked Martinke in the face and Marty will eat through a straw for some time to come. Frank J. Marshall will enter the American chess masters' tournament wljich begins in New York January 19. Marshall is the United States cham pion. . Carl Wolff, Multnomah Club football star, says he found in Harrlgan, the Bremerton sailor, one of the huskiest opponents he ever bucked up against. Harrigan. who weighs 185 pounds, played halfback for the Seattle All Stars in the two games against Mult nomah. Prior to a couple of years ago Harrlgan had never played football. Marquette football stars seem to be in demand as coaches. Bill Juneau made a big hit at Wisconsin; Suppke, former Oak Park mentor, has been as signed to Illinois. The latest, Ray Huegel, now engaged practicing den tistry, has been offered the coaching at the North Dakota Agricultural College. He has not yet accepted. "It is my opinion that Oakland will be the team we will have to beat for the 1913 pennant," says Harry Wolver ton, the silver-topped leader of the Sacramentos. "San Francisco looks as if it will take last place." It takes money to make the mare go. The annual report of the New York Athletic Club, issued a few days ago. shows a total expenditure for athletic sports of J42.78S against re ceipts of only 20,066. Boxing and trapshootlng were the only sports which paid profits. The club held the amateur boxing championships of the Metropolitan Association and cleared $3990. The Portland Academy basketball team, which is the lightest five in the Interscholastic League, is out every Monday, Tuesday and Friday afternoons for practice. The boys are coached by Professor Lee, and. despite the fact that they are the lightest in the league, they are confident of putting up a good fight when they start to play. Clayton Quits Committee. WASHINGTON. Jan. 7. Powell Clay ton, Republican National committeeman from Arkansas since fs72, handed to day his resignation to Chairman Hilles. General Clayton told Mr. Hilles he ex pected to give up his residence in Ar kansas and live in the District of Columbia- OLCOTT NOW CROWDED SECRETARY OF STATE ISSUES - HIS AXXCAL REPORT, s Establishment of Separate Depart ment for Corporations, In Event Bine Sky Law Passes, Urged. SALEM, On. Jan. 7. (Special.) Urg ing in his report the establishment of a separate department for corporations in event a "blje sky" bill Is passed, Sec retary Olcott says in this connection: "The work of this office has multi plied with such amazing rapidity that it will be Impossible for the Secretary of State to give -bis personal attention to the many perplexing problems that are sure to appear in the administra tion of a law of this kind. Also this department is so crowded at the present time that it would be practically a phys ical Impossibility to find room for an other clerk or another desk in the of fice. For thlB and other reasons, I am convinced that one of the best features of the blue sky bill was the provision for a separate and distinct corporation department to have charge of corpora lions and take over all the work per taining to this branch of the public service now performed by the Secretary of State and State Treasurer. The mag nitude and Importance of the work en titles it to the personal and undivided attention and consideration of an able chief officer. adequately paid, with large discretionary powers and under heavy bond to the state for the faith ful performance of his duties. "Again, good business Judgment dic tates that there should be a separate department for handling corporation matters. Under the present plan there is much duplication of work In the State" and Treasury Departments, and much valuable time Is lost by clerks in running back and forth between the two offices. All this would be saved and the public given infinitely better service, if the business were concen-l.-ated in a single department" Portions of his report as to the "blue book" recommendations as to the publication of sundry miscellaneous laws, asking that the Secretary of State be given power to publish such laws from time to time as in his discretion he may deem necessary, and as to the public printing fund were also released for publication today. As to receipts for the Secretary's of fice, the report makes the following showing: ' Vnr th ilnnlal nerlod embraced between October 1. 1908. and September 30, 110. the fees and charges collected by trie secretary of State amounted to S153.3So.74 and for the biennial period embraced between October 1. 1810. and September SO. 1912. the period nnvap-rl hv thl. hipnniAl reDOrt. to $229.- 159.97. which Includes all sums received from the following' sources: HJTntn vehllA registrations nrlor to August 1. 1911 18,302.50 Motor vehicle registrations subse- auent to August 1. 1911 58.447.50 PnrnnrflMnn nmiLnization. license and other fees 109.5S3.6S A it.cHrc nntnrial and other com- missions 8.815.00 Filine trade marks 741.50 rrnr maUimr t rftnorlt and cer tificates 4.2S8.50 t.rnm Kfrtf.m of fiftssion l&WB.
