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

.weeks ago he was forced to take off

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

',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.

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.
March ?R in Kansas City Gofch has a
match with Raoul de Rouen, the man
eating Frenchman. Pe Rouen la rertaln-1-r
a great wrestler, but his rough tac
tics have not won him many admirers.
The police of Chicago refused to allow
him to o on in anv more matches In
hat city on account of his bnitallty.
Blammtn s, man's head down on the mat

TAKE STARS
ABROAD
(Special Correspondence.)
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.

C AW Was Bi C4a A j
At a largely attended meeting of the
reorganization committee ox tne old
Irvington Tennis club, which will here
after be known as the Irvington club,
held last Wednesday night at the club
house, 'a report was submitted which
indicates that the reorganization is al
ready an assured success. 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.

Revived In 1896.
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

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. D., and
ordered them abolished. Before the
crusher waa put on them by Emperor
Theodosius, the games were held on the

At the revival the great stadium was
restored to its former splendor and
