Los Angeles, Jan. 26. One of - the
outstanding features of the local racing
lias been the sDectacular wagering In

Have vou anvthlnr tabbed against me,
sir? How much?" Without the least
hesitancy the blank check was filled
out. and Indebtedness in all Instances
satisfied.
Was Oatesy Sweated?
Quite an aftermath cropped out of
this huge speculating, gossiping tongues
liaving it that unprincipled persons act
ing in the capacity of touts, had prof
ited both "coming and going" in other
words, thev had received a commission
on the wagers placed with several book
makers for Gates. Whatever truth there
might have been regarding these stories
VL UUUIBU MKVCI VttlllW IU ll", n . . .civ . ,
for no other reason than that the in
delible smudge hand was at work al
most Instantaneously suppressing any
thing that might savor of scandal.
The fundamental principle of all this
came wltn the offer of Gates to Book
maker George Rose of $10,000 on Prince
Ahmed. The offer of such a vast sum
of money even in such frenzied finan
rial times took the betting ring by
the cars. Rose hal a severe attack of
cold feet at that moment and his
astuteness saved him approximately
$30,000. Since then it is said Gates
has been a consistent loser.
The money duel between Gates and
Clark, of course, came as an aftermath
to th Gates escapade of that memor
able $25,000 plunge. Quite a spirited
rivalry is on between the two "money
to burn" prodigals, and It is almost a
daily occurrence to have the remark
passed that "Gates put it over Clark
then," or "Clark stood Gates on his
head."
Dote , on Adulation,
That both dote on the adulation of
the mob admirers Is demonstrated by
the fact that Clark grew Indignant the
other day because a local paper likened
his speculation to that of Gates. "Why.
I bet more to a race than lie noes io
a day's racing" was the pert remark of
the Montana sport, J "My speculations
make him look like a piker.' And so
the merry dance leads on with the
suave "bookie" and his 35 to 40 per
cent book cajoling them on.
From a racing standpoint the race
goers attending Santa Anita have hail
a brand of sport served up that should
appease the appetites of the most fas
tidious. American records (generally
called world's records) have gone by
the boards with such startling regu
larity that It has become the fashion
to look over the racing program anJ
prognosticate that "today will see an-
other mart set ror mai uisunrc. nm,
of course, may be a trifle far fetched,
but the fact nevertheless remains that
wlthouth nerRdventure of doubt Santa
Anita Is the fastest course ever trodden
bv a thoroughbred.
"One of the recent notable races was
the sensational victory of Jack Atkln,
which the "Big Train" won after being
left flatfooted and sideways when the
barrier went up and 16 lengths back
of such speed marvels as Kern L., which
get two American records at Seattle,
were setting a slznltng pace. The last
five furlongs of this race were nego
tiated In the unprecedented time of
:67 flat. . ..
I'he best 2-year-old thus far uncov
ered, of course, Is the strapping Carroll,
by Cesarlon Margaret II. from the
barns of R. I.. Thomas. Cur roll, which
Is a well mannered brown, is of such
size and conformation as to make the
balance of his field look like yearlings.
Great things are predicted for this
youngster.

JOCKEY POWERS AH
EXAMPLE OF LIVING
A westprn nrnriimt. who It ttls mors
than year ago was riding the geegaws
at the merry-go-round at Algiers, that
umrepijiaoie outlaw track just across
the river from New Orleans, to a pqsi
t Ion of affluence and leading jocky, Is
the meteoric careen of Jockey Vincent
Powers. Aa can be imagined, riding at
Algiers, rowers waa eking out a mero
existence. This Is better understood
hy the fact that the outlaws only raced
Saturdays, Sundays and holidays.
For a mere nittance the bov save un
his services to owners at the half-mile
course. Toclay rowers Is under con
tract to Edward Corrigan for first calls
on his services, tor which be receives
$boo per month.
That he makes idoubla that amount
from outside mounts and from second
and third calls does not require a, very
elastic imagination to conjure.
Possessed of a Dhvsiaue seldom found
in Jockeys the boy is a genuine Samson
of the racing brigade.- rn other words
he is a freak from the hips up. It Is
this wonderful development that serves
him in helping his mount. Possessed of
a line pair or nanas, almost as tender as
a woman'! be can be seen .nursing his
mount for the run through the stretch.
When he sits down to drive with a
whip he never leta up, in fact, never
seems to know, or at least refuses to
accept, defeat. It is this determination
and the riding of his mount-rlght out to
the wire that has earned for him many
winning mounts. In a word. Powers,
adopting the personified Sloan seat, re
minds one more than any other rider of
peerless Willie Martin, the equal of
whom has never thrown a leg over a
horse. -
Critically SDeakinar Powers Ih of ih
new class of successful jockeys. In for
mer years It was the custom of the
leading riders to seek the bright lights
and all that went with them, there to
receive the adulations of the admiring
throng. Like the dizsy moth, they were
burned and speedily dropped Into ob
livion. This kind of life does not appeal
to Powers.
On the contrary, he Is a "hookworm "
and when exercise work of the morning
hours la over or the day's racina
through, he is Invariably to be found
tucked away in the stable stretcher, en
grossed in the plot of a book.
LONDON'S RACING MEN
WOULD LIKE TOD BACK
A general topic of conversation among
racing men In London during the recent
enforced period of Idleness has been the
probability of Tod Sloan reapplying for
his license. Should hn aetiiallv xk tn
be reinstated it Is hoped that the stew
ards of the Jockey club will take into
consideration his long punishment he
has been standing down forwmorc than
eight years and act with mercy by ac
ceding to his request. The almost uni
versal opinion is that he has been suffi
ciently punished, and his return to the
Saddle would be heartily welcomed bv
all classes of sportsmen.
.Mis career on the Rnelish turf was
meteoric he came in 1897 nnil wns nnr
In 1900 but during his brief stay he
was certainly a "star" of the first mar-
nltude among Jockeys, as the following

D0LAN KNOCKS CONNORS
OUT IN FIFTH ROUND
Jack Dolan knocked out Eddie Con-
ners in the fifth round in their sched
uled 15 round mllV In Rainier Saturday
night. Conners led the fighting to Do
lan in great shape until the fifth, when
he went down four times before taking
the ' count. A large crowd saw the
match.
Dolan was immediately matched after
his victory to fight Gotchy, the Kelso
mitt artist. Gotchy won the preliminary
and the Rainier sports liked his work
so well that they will put him on with
Dolan in about a month. The affair
Saturday night was for the benefit of
tne Kainier volunteer nre department.
The next one will be for the benefit of
the baseball team.
Kid Ervin. who went down to referee
the match, did not officiate because the
management failed, he says, to live up
to lfs 'agreement with him. Instead, a
local light was the third man In the
ring.

RILEY EQUAL OF
PORTLAND PRIDE
Physical Measurements of
Wrestlers in Thursday's
Match Practically Even.
Portland's army of wrestling enthu
siasts will have the chance of the year
when they see Eddie O'Connell, the
Multnomah club wonder, . and Frank
Riley, the undefeated welterweight
champion of Washington and British
Columbia, come together in Exposition
rink next Thursday night. That Riley
knows what kind of a chance he stands
against one of the best men In the
business, is shown when lie posted his
$260 against a similar amount from the
Portland champion to throw him two
falls out of three.
One thing that makes it especially at-'
tractive to the fans, is the fact that
both men are evenly weighted, some
thing which has occurred on only one
of O'Connell's local matches, that with
Strangler Smith, the stevedore cham
pion. Every man O'Connell has met has
outweighed him from 10 to 40 pounds,
making it extremely difficult to lug so
much surplus weight over the canvas.
With both irrarmlers going on the mat
at less than 150 pounds 147 to be more
nearly exact mere win oe plenty or
opportunity for fast and clever work.
In build the pair are admirably
matched. From their measurements
Riley looks like another edition of
O'Connell. In build he Is tall and
rangy, with a pair of slim, sinewy legs,
which he uses equally as much as his
arms. His hips are large and heavy.
being joined to the waist without any
change of contour. He has a couple of
Inches on the local pride In the matter
of girth. His shoulders are broad and
very heavy and both back ana chest
show the results of years of conscien
tious training.
Biley Very Fast.
Riley's great speed and clover foot
work enable him to keep on the defen
sive until the favorable moment comes.
He has the art of lu lltsu down to a
fine point and often uses It to good
advantage against tils opponent. In his
last two matches he won a rail In each
of them by a peculiar Nipponese hold
and had his man pounding the mat rath
er than take the risk of bring disabled.
1 acoma critics Believe that he Is the
fastest professional that ever stenDed
on the mat. notwithstanding the ac
counts that have reached the sound of
O'Connell's rapid fire work On the can
vas. Time and again he has demon
strated In exhibition work with light
weights that he is as fast as the small
er men, an unusual thing in a welter
weight. Riley has been wrestling for five
years, which Is two years less than
O'Connell. but he is a middle westerner
and had the advantage of tutoring from
the great crop of mat tumblers whoH
made that section of the country fa-
in who. r latin vjni.il, r HI liurr riurilH,
Fred Peell' Charley Olsen and a dozen
other noted wrestlers are from Riley's
neck of the woods. For the past twoj
years ne nas oeen working out with
Jim Carroll, the famous Instructor of
Hie Tacoma - club. Carroll pronounces
him the classiest wrestler he ever saw.
GEE! WHAT i AWFUL
GROUCH COUSIfl HAS
That there fs a bitter feeling against
American athletes and sportsmen Kener
ally among English sportsmen Is no se
cret. It is a general belief there that
the Americans ar out to win falrlv if
they can. but to win anyway. This feel
ing Is very adequately summed- up In a
recent issue of Pearson's. Weekly, as
follows:
"The fact Is and there Is no use In
blinking It that the 'Yanks' are not
sportsmen, as we understand the term.
They are 'sporting men,' which Is a very
-"ifferent thing.
"It has been so all along. Jem Mace,
the first English pugilist to go over
there, had to quit the country for fe.ir
of losing his life. How Gotch treated
Hackenschmldt the other day is a mat
ter of common knowledge.
"Lord Iiunraven was forced to decline
to race any more with them because of
the fraud and chicanery with which he
was confronted.
At Henley on several
occasions when they have sent crews
to compete against our crews similar
unfair tactics have been resorted to.
"And these are but a few instances
out of many that might be cited. Why
Is It? The answer is not easy, but It
seems to be due to the overmastering
passion displayed by Americans for 'get
ting there' at any cost.
" 'Win by fair means If you can. but
In any case win,' Is their motto. Of
honor or chlvclry tn sport they know
nothing. Docs anybody suppose, for In
stance, that If any but an American
competitor hnd won the Marathon from
poor, plucky little Dorando nt the Lon
don Olympic games he would have de
cided to claim the award? Of course, he
wouldn't. Yet the Americans saw noth
ing out of plnce In It.
The only thing that can be said in
extenuation Is that they show the same
unsportsmanlike spirit when competing
amongst themselves as they do In Inter
national contes's; witness the disgrace
ful exhibition at the Chicago baseball
final the other day."
RECORDS MAY FAIL

New York, Jan. 25. Some record per

abouts For the first time In the history of
sports in the metropolitan district the
Carlisle Indian school has entered a
team of athletes. Tewanlna and Coon,
the well known long-distance runners,
will compete in the 10-mlle run, and
there will be four or five other men In
the shot-putting, Jumping, etc. The re
lay races will be the big feature of the
evening's entertainment. In these events
some of the best performers of Har
vard, Pennsylvania and other big In
stitutions are entered.
In addition to the series of relay races
the orosTam provides for the- following
events: Handicaps 60 yards. 300 yards,

110 OIIE SAW n
SWEPT TO DEATH
Captain Wagemann Lost
,From the Niconiedia
at Night.
ORIENTAL LINER NOW
IN PORTLAND HARBOR
Officers Report That Steamer Was
Immediately Turned About When
It Was Learned That Commander
Was Missing Long Search Proves
Without Avail.
After a stormy voyage the Portland
& Asiatic Steamship company's liner
Nieomedia reached Portland this after
noon, 19 days out from Yokohama. She
is in command of Captain Knltschky,
Captain Wagemann haviDg been swept
overboard in a storm between Hong
kong and Moji. In respoct to the mem
ory of the lost commander, the flags
were half masted when the liner came In.
More than 24 hours were spent com
ing up from Astoria because of a dense
fog and the strong current. The big
liner reached Astoria yesterday morn
ing and left up shortly after noon. She
was looked for at Alaska dock shortly
after daylight, but there was no sign
of her till noon, nor was she reported
by either St. Helens or St. Johns. She
will be at Alaska dock before evening,
however. The longshoremen suent the
day lounging about the headquarters
waiting tor the word to rush to the dock
to go to work. According to advance
Information received this morning, the
cargo consists of a large quantity of
sulphur and some general Chinese mer
chandise for local merchants.
The Iobs of Captain Warfemann oc
curred on the night of December 26.
The liner had left Hongkong on Decem
ber 22, and was bound for Moji, Japan,
to coal for the run across the Pacific,
when she encountered a severe typhoon.
i ne steamer was pitching and rolling
hard and Captain Wagemann came on
the bridge at 3 o'clock to see about
altering the course.. He dad for months
been troubled with a bad knee, and In
going from the bridge stumbled. But
he said he did not hurt himself and
evidently started for the cabin. How
ever, he sat down on t lie steps a few
moments and then walked to the rail
to look over the sea.
About an hour later the officer
on watch asked for lnnt ructions regard
ing the course. Captain Wagemann
could not be found, and a search was
immediately ordered over the entire
vessel. First Officer Westier turned
the big steamer about and steamed back
over the course until 8 o'clock in the
morning, hoping that perhaps the cap
tain would be found clinging to a piece
of wreckage or something. Rut the
search had to finally he abandoned and
the steamer proceeded to Moji.
How the captain fell overboard Is
difficult to understand as the deck is
guarded by a high rail, but he might
have been caught by one of the waves
that boarded the steamer in a small
way now and then as she rolled over
on her beam.
On the arrival of the Nieomedia at
Kobe, Captain Knttsehsky, chief officer
of the Hamburg-American mail steamer
Barcelona, was placed in command.
The Nieomedia Is expected to remain
here about ten days. How much out
ward cargo she will take cannot be
stated yet', as the liner Alesia is now
at the O. R. & N. company's Alblna
dock trying to get enough freight on
board to send her away Wednesday
with enough to make a fair showing.
She will go out with about 4000 tons
of which L'0.000 barrels of flour will
compose the largest Item.

to marry this lady for the love I bear
her." said he.
"If there happened to be money, that
would be on the side, as you say, en
tirely Inconsequent to the nuptials."
Mrs. Bryan agreed that this wai a!l
very well said, and she also denied re
ports that she had been nursing hfr
fiance through a serious Illness.
That there will be no dot 1s generally
conceded by Portland friends of Mr.
Bryan. Mrs. Bryan owns a house and
lot at Sixth and Market streets, Port
land, which Is assessed at $7700 ami
valued at about $25,000. This is the
only property under her name In the
county and ft is not thought that she
owns more, or Is wealthy as the re
ports state for the reason that her
manner of living In Portland would In
dicate the opposite.
The first New York knew of the ro
mance was the announcement In one of
the newspapers of tho Issuance of a
marriage license In the city to the
count and Mrs. Bryan. No announce
ment of the marriage followed, and In
vestigation led to the discovery that
Mrs. Rrvan would not marry until she
was sure that the ceremony would be
legal.
Mrs. Bryan left Portland for New
York about eight months or a. year, ago
rather suddenly and though she has
written several letters to her sister.
Mrs. Nick Browning, who runs the
Frances rooming- house at Morrison and
Park streets, and to several friends, she
has said nothing of her engagement to
the count.
The widow came to Portland about
eight years Bgo, and from the best In
formation obtainable had theretofore
lived In Idaho and Montana, where her
husband, Montgomery Bryan, she said,
owned valuable mining property. Other
reports say that she said he was a sea
captain, and still others that he was a
wealthy publisher.

By Contracted Disease
Progress in the rudr of contracted dis
orders in the past few years has resulted in my
advanced methods of securing permanent re
sults. In my practice I. us special methods
of irrigation, and a method of my own devising
for installations that cure gonorrhoea, PER
MANENTLY, in from 3 to 10 days. I make
frequent inspections of the canal by means
a small electric light, which enables me to see
and to treat each inflamed part separately, and
I am also enabled to show the patient himself
the conditions that actually exist. Following
my treatment there are no evil after-results.
There is no stricture to fear, nor the slightest
chance of a chronic condition sometimes called
gleet, but there is COMPLETE healing of th
inflamed and poisoned tissue. Never use harsh
injections or drastic internal remedies to stop
the discharge, for if you do, it is certain that in
the future you will find your state worse than
ever. I guarantee you a PERFECT AND A
PROMPT CURE and as well as that.
You Can Pay When Cured
If this announcement does not have particular reference to YOUR
trouble, drop in and tell me what bothers you. I shall be glad to give
you advice as to your condition that is sure t be of benefit to you.
That will cost you nothing. It will save you an amount of nerrons
suffering and MAY greatly PROLONG YOUR LIFE. Be wise; dont
delay. As I have stated frequently, to delay and neglect all tha very
serious and so-called "incurable" cases are due.
I CURE ALL SPECIAL DISEASES OF MEN, SUCH AS HY
DROCELE, NERVOUS DEBILITY, BLOOD DISEASES, VARI
COCELE, WEAKNESS AND ALL REFLEX AILMENTS.
It Will Cost You Nothing for Consultation and Adylce
I especially irrrite those who have deep seated and chronic, disorder
to call and be examined. CONSULTATION AND EXAMINATION
ARE FREE, and do not obligate you to engage my services.

CORNER SECOND AND YAMHILL, rCHTLA'.D, Orr :
Bryan then lived, that the relation be.
tween husband and wife were uln.t
Mr. Bryan appeared but once or mini
during the six months his wife lived at.
the-boarding-house, and then practical
ly nothing was seen of. him. It was un-,
derstood that he was much older than
his wife, who is now about 39 years vC
age. - - i
Some talk of a separation was heard,
hut this seemed to blow over, and noitt
came the report that Mr. Bryan
dead. Where, when or how he died, unt
whether or not a divorce waa obtained,
before his death, is not known. - .
Mrs. Bryan, during her residence at
the boarding-house, was extravagant liv
dress and tastes, and was most emphat
ically gay, and It was through the lat
ter that the trouble between she and
her husband is said to have arisen.
Friends of the woman say: that Mr.
Bryan 111 treated her. '
Mrs. Bryan continued living; at board
lng-houses and hotels for a number, of,
years, until she secured the Sixth
street property about four years ago.-.
There she resided ror about two. years.
leaving the city for a time and return-
ing about a year ago for a short tiros..
It Is declared. ......
At the time the count arrived in this'
country In February of last year, it
was printed that he had coma here to
marry an American heiress. And he-,
said so hlme!f. He was then in negott-.
ation with the International Marriage,
syndicate and It was while watting for
a representative of that organization
that lie mt a reporter and told him
of his Intentions.
Later on the count became ah em-
ploye of the Cottonwood Creek Copper
company, of Colorado, and was sent
abroad to sell stock and bonds of the
concern In Austria and Hungary, aa
Count von IJochberg had been sent a.
year earlier to sell stock to the German'
arUtoeraey. bater a number of , German -aristocrats
hrought suit for the money''
thev had invested and were beaten. , .
The suit and the publicity caused Count
Czaky to be stranded in Kass. Hungary.'
He wrote to another person in the com
pany as follows In September: -
"Some scoundrel In New York wrot
an unfortunate letter to a very prom-
lnent man and pronounced the Barnes"
business (the Cottonwood Creek Copper
company), a swindle, and my peon I a
threw me out bodily, and no one talk
to me. I antagonized my entire fam
ily and haven't a single penny In the
world. I will try to ask for my travel-.
Ing expenses from somebody and will
leave tomorrow for Budapest in order;
to talk matters over with you."
When the matter of the copper com
pany was brought up in the Interview;
with the count and Mrs. Bryan, tha
widow said: 1
"What Is all this about, anyway?
and that piece In the papers about the
count coming over here to marry an,
heiress? ,
"8urely he could have gotten soma
heiress rather than poor little me." r
