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.

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.

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.

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.

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
