THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL. PORTLAND. FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 1, 190. MICHAELS SAVED FROM SEA BURIAL French Cyclist Defies Ship's Of ficers on the High Seas. STOOD GUARD OVER HI3 OLD-TIME CHUM World's Greatest Rider Was Vic tim of an Old Bicycle Accident. To Jean Oougols. the noted French endurance rider. U due the credit of having saved the body or jimmy Michaels from being burled at sea. It appear that there was an exciting dis pute between Jean Oougols, the French endurance rider, and the ship's official immediately after Mlchaers death. "Jimmy" was traveling with a group of French riders who were coming to America for the six-day race, and they were In the eecorul cabin. When the death of the rider was announced the ship's officials gave orders for a burial at sea. Oougols promptly objected. He was devotedly attached to the little rider, and, taking a stand over the dead body of his friend, he defied the officers to remove It. An angry dispute followed, during which Gougolx. who will be rememh'refl for his excitable disposition by those who have seen him in previous Ung dis tance races, shouted and stormed and thrust the officers away, braving im prisonment in the hold and challenging them to drag the body away irom mm. Oougols finally triumphed. The ship's captain gave orders to have the body embalmed, and a wireless dispatch was at once sent to Powers and Kennedy. Michael's managers in New York, notify ing them of his death. The? took charge of the body immediately upon Its arrival, and cabled to Michael's mother in Wales for Instructions, Manager Powers gave Instructions to have the body removed'to an undertak ing establishment, where It will be placed In a hermetically sealed case and ahlnped back to Wales aa soon as the necessary Instructions are received. Michael, with Oougols. Frlol, Dussot. Breton. Stol und Vanderstuyf t. all well known French riders, was coming to America to participate In the six-day race. Michael being matched to race Bobby Walthour. The entire party was plunged Into grief over his-.sudden death, and the gloom of the affair spread all over the ship. Oougols particularly was half erased, and tore wildly about the ship, asking what he ahould do. A first cabin pas senger suggested the sending of the wireless dispatch early yesterday morn ing, and for the .feast lima In trans Atlantlc navigation, the wireless method was used to Inform the shore of a death at sea. Two years ago. In a bicycle race in Berlin, Michael was la. a collision which rtsulled -tn ssrlsua injury ta hlf .head. He had an operation ? performed later, alnce which ha has ' suffered partial paralysis of the face and frequent loas f memory. It was remarked as a curious coin cidence yesterday that' Michael Is the third man ptpnjrnently Identified with the Madison Square Oarden races who lias met sudden desth. Oeorge fteander waa killed In a race in Paris not long ago and Jim Kennedy, one of the pro moters of the big eventa, dropped dead In New Vork. Michael was bom In Wales and stsrted racing In 1894. Blnoe then he had be come the most famous bicyclist In the world. During llll Michael turned to horse racing, but not making a success as a Jockey, ha returned to bicycling the next year and was prepared to meet any rider In the world In a paced race of from JO to SO miles. When the ehlp arrived at New York his old comrades carried the body of Michael off the ehlp and behind It was rolled the wheel on which he has made some of th best records.

Multnomah Field. 1 p. m. Rain or shine. A good ASTORIA ELEVEN COMES TOMORROW Fishermen Will Endeavor Down the Multnomah Football Warriors. to M. A A. C. TEAM IS IN GOOD CONDITION Johnson Will Play Quarter and Stow Will Give the Signals. Multnomah Is armed for Astoria. .Th club players got together last night and went through all the perlgrinatlons, formatlona and evolutions known to football philosophy, and when they had finished their arduous work. Captain Dowllng remarked that hla tribe was fit and trim to meet th Astoria aggre gation. On account of business pressing him to hard, "Chat" Murphy will bo com pelled to relinquish playing for aome time, although he will be on hand at all times to explain plays and help out the general work of the team. Johnson will essay to All Murphy's boot In the quarterback position, and Judging from laat night's work. Sued John' will be In th glad fray with lelghbills dtng llng from his well built neck, when As toria come to town. Johnson Is a plucky and a gritty player and la a strong aa a hard of elephant not the big kind, but Just big enough to be real strong. He Is ss fast aa a human ostrich, capable of great strides, and on the defense can bury his bead In the interference like'' the plumed bird we often read about. So much for the quarterback. The line will be the same as In the Oregon game, a new responsibility, however, going on Sam stows shoul ders. In the matter of giving signals. Sam's tailor-made suit U in piping sig nals. He Is quick in locating the weak spot In an opponent's line and often he does look out for the smashing plays In the direction. Stow will play In his usual place at left tackle and Klrkley will b at right tackle. Klrkley got aev eralSttard bumps In the Oregon game while smashing up interference, which he cleverly did but will be sble to show th visitors how to play In that part of th line. Of course Dr. Ross snd Jeff Seeley wll be on hand as guards, and their proweas is known. If any Astoria player saw Tom Ross break through Oregon's line and down the Eugene backs for big losses, falling on the ball and making sensational plunge, be ha aome kind of an Idea what kind of a "buster" this man Roaa 1. Than again, Ross halls from Astoria and It Is his ambition to trounce hi fellow townsmen. Th first time that Astoria played her thl year Ross was out of town snd he regretted that he couldn't Join hi teammate In beating the Fishermen, but now that he Is In the city and can't escape, he will have his opportunity tomorrow. Enough Is known of Seeley'a good work, to war rant but a inentlon MPs, Downng ana jorasn win ne me ana rushes for the club, end a they are famous both on and off the gridiron, little need be aald concerning them. Eddie hate newspaper publicity and so does Dave. Of course If nothing un generous is printed about tnem, tney don't mind so much. There are others In the aame canoe. ' In the back field Dolph will shine aa usual at fullback, and Corbett and Lonergan will officiate In the halfback territory. The three backs work w1T' together and they will certainly try hard to do things to the Astoria Una. They are fast and strong and should they get clear of the line It will be good-day to Astoria. Grieve, Keller and Rlntoul will be th canter. Captain Stockton and his plucky band will arrive tomorrow morning prepared to win. His men are in good condition and will gtv M. A. A. C. a hard battle. DIAMOND GLISTENINGS. The final arrangement for th formal transfer of th Portland baseball fran chise to the McCreedles is on schedule today. Upon the consummation of th deal the players will be paid off snd the new manager will commence negotiations with some of them for next season. Btarkells, Runkle and Keliackey ex pect to leave for their homes tomorrow. Th pitcher goes to Tacoma, the short stop to St. Paul and th catcher to Cleveland. Danny Shay, who finished the season with Portland, is playing shortstop for Tacoma In the post season gamea, and Rayreer has been transferred to second base. George Hlldebrand Is playing left field for Los Angeles during the post season games. Ross has been a weak sister with the stick and a stronger batter was needed in hi place. FOOTBALL FUMBLES. A number of local men are willing to bet that Astoria will scor against Multnomah. Th club man are not say ing much, but are doing considerable thinking, as they well know the grit and prowess of the Astoria team. The game will be called at I o'clock agd the entire M. A. A. C. squad Is ordered out for the occasion. Captain Stockton is a welcome man at the Multnomah club. Besides being a clever player, he Is one of the most gentlemanly fellow that ever wore football suit. Who ever saw such a trinity of stars as Multnomah has for the center posi tion Grieve, Rlntoul nd Keller. Next year Keller will move out to tackle position. MOULD TACKLE JO The concensus among sporting men In New York Is that Jeffries should give Jack Johnson a chance. No doubt Is felt as to the big fellow's ability to put the negro out with about th same ease that he demolished Jack Munroe's cham pionship air castle, but at the ssme time thy say that Jeffries by fighting ne groes In th past has forfeited his right to draw th, color line, and the big black should be given the opportunity to feel what It is Ilk to be kicked by a mule if he Is anxious for the experience.

THEY SAY REPORT MAY HAVE BEEN A MISTAKE Likelihood of Steamer Ellamy Coming Here in Ballast for the Food Discussed. Steamship and railroad official still ay thsy know nothing about the beef shipment which is reported to be In transit! from Omaha to Portland to be sent from here to Siberian Russia. Some of them are of the opinion that th re port 1 a mlstak Sine th British steamship Ellamy is about due at Portland, and no on ap pears to know for what purpose ah 1 coming, the entire matter la shrouded in mystery. Those who make an attempt to keep in close touch with th shipping situation believe that th Ellamy has been chartered by th Russian govern ment to transport beef to either Vladivo stok or Port' Arthur. They declare that they are positive that th vessel ha not bean engaged by any of the local ex porters to tali out a cargo of flour or any other ordinary shipment. The ex planation in support of thl view 1 that no firm could afford to charter her at the prevailing rates and have her make the long trip from Manila in ballast. Hence, they have reached th conclusion that shs ha been chartered by the Russian or Japanese government. Neither would hesitate on account of the experts to 'bring the vessel here empty. Supplies are undoubtedly badly needed lor the armies in the field, and to get them there at aa early a date a possible either aid would be willing to pay a handsome price for the use of the steamer. Other exporters candidly declare they do not believe the Ellamy Is coming to Portland, explaining that her reported sailing for the Columbia , river must have been a mistake, and until ahe has been sighted off the mouth of the river they say they will not change their minds. In support of their contention they give the plausible theory that th steamer would necessarily have to call at aome port in Japan to coal before proceeding on the long passage across the Paclflo. Had ahe stopped for coal they aay the matter would have been reported. As she ha not been heard from line ahe waa reported a having aalled from Manila on Oct. 2 8, it 1 held to be very improbable that the steamer 1 headed in thl direction. BIG STURGEON LANDED. J. JF.

It shot through th water at a remarkable rata. I Finally Kepper began to pull in hi tow. Whan the fish was near the wharf It began to struggle desperately, and water waa splashed over many of th bystanders. ' Fearing the line would break If he got In too big a Hurry to laud th mammoth sturgeon the fisherman changed hla tac tics. He concluded to keep hla "tow" In a state of Irritability, with th ex pectation of soon wearing It out. Th fish was allowed to run out into the river about Jt feet, and then it was slowly drawn back. Th tactic continued for almost an hour and a half, before It waa oonsldered a safe undertaking to put a finish to the Job by hauling the struggling fish out on the platform in front of the boathou. The attempt proved successful, snd th big, flopping beauty waa safely landed. Kepper says he never had a gamier fish on his Una. After admiring It for a few moment he took It "up town and old it to a Chines at cents a pound. WIRELESS SERVICE. Cave Been lamed by th Bydro graphic Onto for Its Use.
