Already the fana are howling to aee him etaft again; but it loka aa If they ,m-Jll be disappointed wis montn. How ever, their expectancy will be reward fed with the greatest wrestling match ever pulled off on the coast, when the Multnomah Instructor finally hooka up -with Eugene Tremblay, who deprived George Bothner of the lightweight championship of - the world and the -diamond belt, aymbolto of the great honor. I Tremblay is the greatest little man ": that ever stepped on canVas, without ' doubt He has had some trouble making the lightweight limit but his 'will not be tn eriect wnen no rami O'Connoll. When Tremblay wrestled m fnnp hnur anil IS minute flraw Wltn . llanrnn Rllleter in Cleveland several .weeks ago he was forced to take off mo mucn weignt mat no was wemtneu. He weighed only about 135 pounds on that data after striving for several hours to reduce flesh. Without having Ao think of the weight question Trem .Way will tip the beam somewhere 'about 12- pounds. That seems to be O'Connell's , natural weight and the . two may be expected to put- up such a hatue as nas never neen aeon in Aiuvr- 'tea. , arevar Ooi Together. ',i Strange as it may seem O'Connell a. nL. Tremblay . never came, together in " "'the east, although, both were travel ling up and down the Atlantic slope .meeting all ' comers. . Onoe O'Connell started for Montreal from New York tinder the management of the famous Harvey Parker, to try and get a match ' ' with Tremblay, but the latter had al- ready signed up for a theatrical tour ma dm not nave time to raeei tne Tale graduate. The matter has been hanging fire ever since. O'Connell was . then a legitimate lls-htweight. but .he ' nas taken on flesh . since coming to ' . Portland and coujd probably not re duce as much as the little Canadian . champion. ' Tremblay is built on the lines of , Con Albright, but is way along faster than the Kochester grappler. Ha is said to be JUBt as strong as Albright. tout-possesses-morer-mat knowledge -and , v a greater amount of speed than Con; When the two come together It is ex pected there will be a dazzling display , of speed and science. And. further 1 more, there will be that old question of who was supreme beyond the Aiie a-henles to nettle. It was thought for awhile that War Eagle would be here to wrestle O'Con nell March 85. but the clever redskin could not ba located after challenging the local man, and it was decided to rait the match off after vainly await ing an answer from film, war Kagie would have been a strong pnonent for O'Connell. He weighs anout isi . nnunda and Is said to be very fast on his feet. His knowledge of the game probably la not so comprehensive, but . it 1s thought that ne win give tne Multnomah tutor a hard battle for his title. . Fascinated With Sport. By the way it seems strange what a fascination lor tne game nas xas tened on the Portland fans. It amounts almost to infatuation. When Eddie O'Connell came here six months ago and said that he would have the Port land fans daffy over wrestling, he was put down as a fit patient for the only and original Dr. Dlopy. Then the mediocre fellows like Strangler Smith were drawing houses of from 75 to 200 people. What a change there has been! True. O'Con , nell's first match, the one in which he defeated Dick Hart, was a poor drawing card, but his sldebet was suf ficient to recompense him. Then came th night when he hung f lie Indian sign on Strangler Smith, and the house was packed. And it has been so ever since. Eddie is a popular champion and there Is no . getting around that fact, no slree! Ot course, there Is always a bunch of near wrestlers banging around on the ragged edge, waiting for something to break, so that they can crush in. But being used to the high class article, the sports refuse to fall for the "ham and" layout, The bleomf r of Tuesday night Is ample proof of this fact. wans Watching Ootch. Owing to the Interest that has bc-en aroused locally in the wrestling game, the fans are watching the movement of Champion Frank Gotch with uncon cealed admiration. Frank, who recently returned from Europe after trying un successfully to get a return math with George Hackenschmldt. the Rupslsn ,'TJon. whom he deprived of the title In Chicago last year, has two Important matches for the next month.

San Luis UblsDO. Cal.. March 20. If Portland wins the Pacific Coast league pennant this season and really there seems no reason whatever why the Beavers should not be on the top. Man ager Walter McCredie will make ar rangements to take his team on an Aus tralian tour and he has already opened negotiations to this effect. The touring-bug is in Mac's bonnet for keeps and off the field he talks of little but the grand time and great suc cess he and the team will have in the antipodes, ever since Mike Fisher re turned from the orient Mao has been Itching to start something. It is possi ble that after playing a series of games In Hawaii both in coming and going to Australia, lie,-- will swing up to Japan aiyl the Philippines. Mao is sure strong for the ocean trip. Depends on Xiocal Coin. Of course this ail depends on whether j tne Mcireuies iana ine pennani ana make a bJfr bunch of coin with their two Portland clubs. It is hardly llkuy that Mao would attempt such a trip unress there was plenty of money to keep from being stranded in the Never, Never Land. Mac said today that he would take all the stars of his 1909 team and would probably add to them, some of the for mer stars who appeared In Portland uni forms. This would include the famous Joe Tinker. George Stovall, Babe Dan xlg, Tommy Madden, Mike Mitchell, Lar ry MeLean. Pat Donahue and others. The Beavers made the wisest move ever in taking Roger Cornell from the San Francisco Seals, for Cornell is a trainer among trainers. Pie has au the men in the pink of condition and they are the fastest bunch around a dla mond ever seen on the coast. Signal, practice and daily , games ate being played and the men can pick up anything on sight. The diamond is ex cellent for training Durooses. being a little soft, but the men will be in form for the hard skinned diamonds in Los Angeles when the season opens Tues day, March 30. Judging by the work done this afternoon there will be noth ing to it but Portland. Graney will start the Ditching against Los Angeles. He gained a great rep utation mere last season, but he is even better than ever. His trip to the orient with Reach's All Americana seems to have done him great aroort and he's the best trained pitcher on the coast today. Arnrtwurte TPIrst Catcher.

It was shown that the committee now has in hand signed subscriptions for $7200 and tho unconditional promise or ziuu aawi tlonal, making the total of 9300 in signt. A large number of Irvington res! dentB, many of whom were never mem bers or the old ciut, nave suDscriDeti foi- life memberships at $100 each. It is confidently believed by the commit tee that this life membership now num bering 80 can be doubled within the next 60 days. The plan of the com mittee contemplates considerable en largement of the old club building, tho purchase of eight additional lots to bo added to the grounds, the laying out and improving of the children's play grounds, this work to be done at once, and considerable improvement in the tennis courts. A new - groundskeeper has already been employed by the ten nis committee and players are assured of good courts with the return of summer. A large number of homeseekers were induced to buy In the Irvington dis trict by reason of the fact that the old Tennis club was to be reorganised and greatly improved, under the name of the Irvington club. It was the fact of this reorganization that made the Irv ington district attractive to many of these recent lot purchasers. Plans to reconstruct the clubhouse are now be-1 ing considered. One feature that has encouraged the committee is the fact that so many of i the resident in the Immediate vicin ity are taking a great interest (n the reorganisation and- are assisting it In a substantial financial way. - The new franchise of the Broadway streetcar will bring cars directly by the clubhouse, making the tennis courts easily accessible from all parts of the city. It is now the plan of the reor ganization committee to wind the mat ter up within the next 60 days. At a meeting to be held next Wednesday night further reports of progress will be made. HARVARD'S BASEBALL TEAM LOOKING GOOD By Jeff Thompson. New York. March 20.---Hugh Mcin tosh is hero and he means business. His prime object is to make a match be tween Jeffries and JohnHon for the heavyweight championship, and for this he la willing to put up $50,000 of real cash. Incidentally Mr. Mcintosh' ex pects to pay at least part of his ex penses by dlsoosing of the moving pic lure films of the Johnson-Burns fight lor the united States. Mr. Mcintosh agrees with Jeffries on the proposition that there should be no ngnt unless the big boilermaKer can get himself tn first class trim.

After hundreds of years of inactivity, the Greek games were revived in 1896, when an international committee invited all the nations of the globe to send ath letes to Athens, the historic capital of ancient Greece, homa of the Olympics. Athletics were then at a high stage of develonment in America, and the young men from this side, most of whom were. , earned victory. 8ince then tJ Amerlcans have won first honors at every : "renewal. Their work at London " last year astonished the world. 'Several unbeatable records In popular opinion were shattered by the American ath letes, among whom were our t)wn For rest emitnson, jli uuoen ana nan Kelley. The earliest mention of the Olympic games in history was In 900 B. C., and there was a monster revival of the sports in 778 B. C. At that time run ning races, only were recognized, hut later such sports as boxing, wrestling and javelin-throwing were added. Em peror Theodosius judged the games to be un-Christianllka In 393 A.
