MILLER TO WRESTLE
O'COIELL TONIGHT
Each Is Confident He Will
Win Middleweight Title of
World by Contest.
BELT WILL NOT BE RISKED
Champion Declares lie Had to Win
One Match Before Trophy Was
. Tut T"p and He nolds As
' pirant to Same Terms.
Fresh from throwing: Pete Buiukos
twice within four minutes at San
Francisco Friday night and full of con.
tidence as to the outcome of his match
here tonlerht with Eddie O'Connell. Wal
ter Miller arrived In Portland yester
day morning. With him came Charley
Cutler, the celebrated Chicago heavyweight-Miller,
the undisputed middleweight
champion of the world, meets Eddie O'
Connell, the Multnomah Amateur Ath
lectlc Club instructor, tonight at the
Eleventh-Street Playhouse for thej
world's championship.
The men will wrestle a straight
catch-as-catch-can match, best two out
of three falls with Police Gazette rules
to govern. Miller will step on the mat
weighing close. to 154 pounds, while 148
won't miss the Winged "M" mentor's
avordupols far.
Kach Confident of Victory.
Each man is confident of winning.
"This fellow is the best middleweight
in the woria." said O'Connell yester
day. "I think that I can defeat him.
however. Anyway, my friends here will
get a run for their money."
Miller issued the following state
ment: "Pete Buzukos lasted three min
utes on the first fall with me at
Dreamland Rink, San Francisco, Friday
night and one minute on the second
falL After the match I asked him how
he thought I would stack up with O'
Connell. He told me that there was
nothing to it and I'm going out to beat
this bird quicker than I beat the Greek,
if possible. O'Connell is a smart mat
man and I know it. I think that I am
stronger, however, and don't expect to
have much trouble in winning."
A packed house undoubtedly will
greet the athletes tonight. Milton W.
Seaman, manager of the Eleventh
Street Playhouse, has erected additional
feats on the stage to accommodate the
crowd.
. Miller 'ot to J'ut l"p Belt.
Miller's belt, emblematic of the mid
dleweight wrestling championship of
the world, will not be staked on the
contest.
"If Eddie O'Connell desires to have
me put up my belt, he can put up a
purse of $1000 against it and the winner
i.f the match will take both prizes,"
said the St. Paul marvel yesterday. "I
won the belt from Joe Turner, of Wash
ington, D. C. who refused to risk it
in hi3 first bout with me. I was forced
to beat him and then when he de
manded a return engagement I made
him put up the trophy. When I also
won this match the trophy came into
my hands and I mean to keep it as a
familv heirloom."
With the foregoing statement. Miller
shed a little light on the much dis
cussed belt. Joe Turner, the crack
Washington, D. C. middleweight, won
the trophy, which was put up by the
Police Gazetts in a tournament held in
his own home city about three years
ago.
Trophy Not Perpetual One.
This turnament was to decide the
middleweight championship of the
world, but the trophy was never in
tended to be a perpetual one.
Miller declares that the waistband
is his own personal property and that
he is in no way obliged to stake it on
the result of tonight's contest
Two good boxing preliminaries have
been arranged. Jimmy Moscow and
Jack Allen will hook up for six two
minute rounds in the curtain raiser at
135 pounds. Ike Cohen, the Kewpee
entertainer, will take 'on Leo Cross in
another mitt contest- They are boxing
at catchweights. Joe Flanigan will
referee the boxing bouts. The first
match will start at 8:30.
WRESTLERS ARE LOCKED tP
Joke on Police Chief Clark Takes
Unexpected Turn.
Walter Miller and Charley Cutler,
famous Eastern wrestlers, sprang a
good Joke on Chief of Police John
Clark yesterday. Shortly after their
arrival from San Francisco a friend
introduced Miller to Detective Fred
Mallett. . .
Chief Clark was formerly Chief or
Police at St. Paul, Miller's home town,
and has known the St. Paul man since
he was a youngster.
"The chief has been inquiring about
you." said the sleuth.
"Who?" asked the puzzled Miller.
When it was explained to Walter that
the head of the Portland police force
was the same John Clark of St. Paul,
"Miller suggested that Mallett arrest
himself and Cutler and take them to
the Chief's office. Mallett took the pair
to the office and brought in Cutler
''''Here's a couple of bad actors that
Fay they know you." said Mallett. Just
then Miller broke into the office, and
to get even Chief Clark took Walter
upstairs and locked him -up for 15 or
20 minutes.

in Ring at Tacoma.
TACOMA, Wash., Feb. 28. (Special.)
Frank Farmer and Fighting Billy
Murray, of San Francisco, did not box
here tonight because Farmer was out
of condition and his manager, Sammy
Howard, refused to let him go on.
Farmer and Howard returned a few
days ago from San Francisco," where
Farmer had a match and was trimmed
by an unknown. After returning here
Farmer went back to Kapowsin on a
hunting trip and forgot his manager.
He was not found until last night.
Murray has had a tough time getting
started here. Farmer's withdrawal is
his fourth disappointment in Tacoma.
First the scrapping Portuguese was
matched with Romeo Hagan, who quit
because he did not like Promoter Paul
Steele's offer." Then Murray was to
hook up with Ivan Miller, who was
mussed up in a Seattle bout and that
queered him. Sid Mitchell was willing
to meet Murray but he was too small
and Farmer was selected.

GUS FISHER SIGHS
T
Catcher Takes Salary Cut and
Squad Will Leave for
Camp on March 12.
WILIE, HARSTAD EXPECTED
No Official Word Is Received From
Cleveland Yet, , However Ha

Than Fred Carisch.
BY ROSCOE FAWCETT.
Another wrinkle was eradicated from
the smiling visage of W. W. McCredie,
Portland baseball magnate, yesterday
when Gus Fisher, his star catcher,
tripped gaily into the judge's private
sanctuary and signed his 1916 contract.
Fisher stood for a small cut under
last year's salary, it is said.
Gus lives in Portland and told Presi
dent McCredie that he was anxious for
Spring training to begin. The time
set is March 14. The Portland squad,
consisting of Walter McCredie, Fisher,
Noyes, Bartholemy, the two Bigbee
boys, Wolfer and the newspaper men,
will leave Portland on Sunday night,
March 12.
Sqnad to Stop at Sacramento.
The Portland squad will be quartered
at the Land Hotel in Sacramento until
April 2.
Fisher's signing leaves only yumn.
Haworth, Sothoron and the three out
fielders, Nixon, Speas and Southworth,
unsigned.
SDeas seems determined not to stand
for the pruning of his last year's sal
ary and McCredie is Just as insistent
that he must stand for a smaller pay
check to conform with the league's
$4500 monthly limit.
McCredie declares vehemently that ne
i3 not bluffing when he talks of asking
for waivers on Speas.
Hanorth's Contract Mailed.
Haworth's contract was mailed to him
yesterday at his local address and he
doubtless will be signed within a day
or two. McCredie believes that Haworth
will be of more service to the club than
Fred Carisch, because of the former's
youth and hitting ability.
Not one word has Been received rrom
Cleveland officially either denying or
confirming the reports that Wilie and
Harstad are to come to Portland. Both
the McCredies think they are coming,
and the Cleveland newspaper men so
declare. The formal announcement may
hit the wires at any moment.

One of the interested spectators at

Don't wear a disfiguring
artificial eye our expert
will be here March 11th
to the 16trf, and can be
seen by appointment only.
We guarantee that during
the week that our artificial
eye expert is here that no
prices will be advanced, but
ere long they are quite
likely to be increased, and
for that reason we urge an
early appointment.
Every eye made by Mr.
Kohler is guaranteed in
every respect. Unless you
are thoroughly satisfied, it
will cost you nothing.
Could anything be fairer?
You take absolutely no
chance, and for a most
nominal sum are enabled
to purchase a truly life
like eye that cannot be de
tected from the good eye.
